Chapter 1160: Siege

"That's my opinion, and it has nothing to do with the scholars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice, taking the responsibility on himself.

"Your Majesty, how long are you going to protect them?!" Zhang Fu expressed his resolute disbelief and said: "I don't believe that it was your idea to kill the ministers!" After a pause, he stared at the emperor and shouted: "Emperor Daxing's bones are not cold, so he will rehabilitate all the Jianwen thieves, if Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru are not chaotic ministers and thieves, is it possible that Emperor Daxing is a chaotic minister and thief?"

"If Emperor Daxing is a rebellious minister and thief, then what is the emperor who inherits the throne of Emperor Daxing?!" Saying that, he raised his voice again, and even used his internal force, which shocked Zhu Gaochi and the others and said: "Your Majesty, the sage Yun's father is here, watch his will; The Father did not watch his deeds; Three years without changing the way of the father, it can be described as filial piety'! What have you done here?! ā€

"You, you ......" Zhu Gaochi glared at Zhang Fu angrily, and was speechless.

Although he was already the emperor, in front of Zhu Di's coffin, Zhu Gaochi still felt so helpless in the face of the nobles who held high the righteousness of the Gangchang Dynasty......

Zhu Gaochi looked at Yang Shiqi and the others beside him, and saw that they were still struggling to speak generously, but the nobles directly turned a deaf ear. At this moment of tension, you have to rely on your strength to speak, and if you don't have the strength to be an endorsement cannon, no matter how fanciful you say, you will be treated as air......

"Your Majesty, please admit your mistakes in front of the first emperor, kill the thieves of the troubled country, and promise not to change your father's ways, so as to comfort the heart of the first emperor!" Zhang Fu's words are just the opposite, no matter how arrogant and unreasonable, no one dares to miss a word, dare not think carefully about every word, and dare not respond cautiously, because he represents the honor, the military, and the power that can shake the throne!

After Zhang Fu finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the Changling Tomb, everyone held their breath and stared, and even forgot to breathe, and there were only two shocking words left in their hearts - forcing the palace!

The nobles want the emperor to admit his mistakes in front of the coffin of the Yongle Emperor, kill the bachelor of 'disaster and chaos in the country', and return to the old path of the Yongle Dynasty!

In an instant, people seem to go back to more than 20 years ago, the era of the confrontation between Emperor Xian and Emperor Jianwen, although there is no war now, but everything is similar? Jianwen and his civil officials carried out reforms, which violated the interests of the vassal kings and nobles, causing Zhu Di to rise up and overthrow Emperor Jianwen's civilian regime.

Now, Emperor Hongxi once again relied on civil officials, drastic reforms, once again seriously violated the interests of the magnates, triggered a fierce backlash from the magnates, first Xue Lu died, and then Zhang Fu made a banquet, and finally escalated to today's crying tomb incident, the monarch and the ministers are tense, if no one side makes concessions, it is easy to get through the chaos of the Ming Dynasty, will fall into chaos and strife again!

Unconsciously, the sky was overcast, and the rolling dark clouds shrouded Changling, and the mountain rain was coming.

On the square, the confrontation between the monarch and the minister continued, and Zhang Fu and the others had already tried to see the dagger, so naturally they would not give up until they reached their goal.

And Zhu Gaochi's side will naturally never give in. Not to mention that the demands of the nobles are too unreasonable and ruthless, just to say that today's drama of crying tombs and forcing the palace is performed, Emperor Hongxi must not back down, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be replaced by a change of people!

However, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to act rashly! Because Zhu Di's Zigong has an abnormality, it has seriously shaken his prestige as an emperor, which can be seen from the hesitant expressions of the surrounding brocade guards. Moreover, the army guarding the Changling Tomb was under the leadership of Xungui. No one knows what the result will be if force is used.

Therefore, the two sides can only be like this, painfully stalemate and confrontation, depending on who can't withstand it first and make concessions.

At this time, God didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore. The north wind howled, the temperature in the valley plummeted, and the sky began to drift with icy sleet.

"Your Majesty! You saw it! The changes in the celestial phenomena made the hard-working nobles feel very encouraged, and they shouted one after another: "This is the wrath of the heavens, the first emperor has appeared, don't be obsessed with it anymore!" ā€

"Emperor Xian, don't worry, the ministers will put everything on the line, and they will also seek justice for you!" There are even more nobles kneeling and raising their arms, shouting frantically, completely overwhelming the emperor and civil officials in momentum.

In this situation, Zhu Gaochi and his civil officials could only hold on silently. But this is the ninth cold winter of wind and snow, how long can it last?

The emperor and the civil servants wore thin sacrificial clothes, and soon shivered with cold, and at first they were still trying to support themselves, but the wind blew more and more fiercely, and the knives cut the bodies and faces of the people, and the rain and snow became heavier and heavier, and the kings and ministers were soaked, and their clothes froze in the cold wind, and they all became popsicles.

Although those nobles are also very thinly dressed, they have kung fu in their bodies, and they never wear single clothes when the water turns into ice, and they are all boiling blood at the moment, where do they care about this cold?

I saw that the weak civil officials were bruised one by one, their teeth chattered, and the old and infirm people like Jian Yi couldn't support it, and they fainted to the ground one after another......

"Hurry up and help them into the house to warm up!" Liu Sheng, who had been silent, finally spoke.

Jin Yiwei hurriedly helped the fainted old minister up and carried him out of the square. Liu Sheng turned to Zhu Gaochi again and said: "Your Majesty, the sky will be dark soon, and the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. ā€

Zhu Gaochi has deep internal strength and is not afraid of this bit of wind and cold, but his lips are bruised, but his face is pale and pale, as if there are signs of an old disease. In fact, he couldn't speak, he just stood there with his might.

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, the emperor glanced at Yang Shiqi and the others with concern, and Liu Sheng said in a deep voice: "The emperor can rest assured, Weichen will try his best to protect them." Zhu Gaochi nodded reassuringly, and the eunuch on the side hurriedly supported him, sent the emperor into the black cloth sedan chair, and carried him back to the Thanksgiving Hall.

Seeing the emperor leaving, Yang Shiqi and the others knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and they also wanted to anoint the soles of their feet, but how could the nobles let them go?

"Don't let them run!" When someone greeted him, all the nobles and nobles cheered, swarmed up, and stopped a group of civil officials, and they were about to fight!

Jinyiwei hurriedly blocked in front of the civil officials, wanting to separate the two parties, but the nobles are all kung fu, and at this moment, they have an anger bonus, and they are as powerful as oxen. The rain and snow on the ground froze again, and the Jinyi guards were pushed to the ground, plopping and slipping, and many civil officials were brought to the ground one after another.

The nobles were overjoyed when they saw this, and they rushed forward like hungry tigers, and beat a civil official to death if they caught it! How can the small bodies and bones of the civil officials withstand their three fists and two kicks, and in the blink of an eye, many people's heads bloomed, their tendons and bones were broken...... This is still the result of Jinyiwei desperately hugging the nobles, and I don't know how many punches and kicks he took for the civil officials.

Zhu Yong and the others did not join the melee, not because they held their own identities and refused to fight on the muddy ground, but because their targets were not those ordinary civil officials.

What Zhu Yong and the others are looking for is Yang Shiqi, if they don't kill these culprits in this Changling, I'm sorry for this time, place and people!

However, to the surprise of Zhu Yong and others, Yang Shiqi and the others were like loaches that couldn't slip their hands, drilling around in the chaotic crowd, and losing their figures if they weren't careful. When Zhu Yong finally found them easily, he led people to squeeze over desperately, but Yang Shiqi stumbled and disappeared into the chaotic crowd.

This all depends on Yang Shiqi's experience in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, although Yang Rongjin Youzi often makes fun of him for this experience, but in this kind of critical time, Yang Shiqi's ability in this area is reflected, he can always take the two of them to find the gap in the crowd, keep moving at all times, and can always use the crowd to disappear in the sight of the enemy, making it difficult for Zhu Yong and others to lock.

A few times, Zhu Yong and others had already rushed to the front of the three of them, only to see Yang Shiqi pull a few civil officials and push towards Zhu Yong and the others, and when Zhu Yong knocked the civil officials who were in the way, Yang Shiqi and the others had already gotten into the crowd again and fled......

Of course, in the process of escaping, it was inevitable that they would be injured by mistake, and Yang Shiqi and the three of them had long had a blue nose and swollen face, but as long as they could escape, the three of them would be thankful......

Yang Shiqi didn't run away aimlessly, he went around and around, and kept approaching Liu Sheng, who was watching coldly.

Liu Sheng promised the emperor to protect the safety of the civil officials, and he also sent Jinyiwei to try his best to protect the civil officials, but he did not allow Jinyiwei to use weapons, nor did he refuse to invest more troops, which made people have to wonder, how sincere is his sincerity in protecting the civil officials?

But no matter what, he is still the only savior in the field, and only by going to him can he be safe. No matter how perfunctory Liu Sheng is, it is impossible to let the nobles murder in front of him, right?

But Yang Shiqi also knew very well that once the nobles detected his intentions and cut off his way in advance, he definitely didn't have to expect Liu Sheng to send someone to rescue him.

Therefore, Yang Shiqi desperately detoured, not only to cover up his true purpose, but also to gradually get closer to Liu Sheng. Finally, after a hard journey, he saw a road leading to Liu Sheng, the distance between the two sides was more than ten zhang away, and there was no substantial obstruction in between!

"Don't go around! Rush over! Yang Shiqi panted and roared, and ran towards Liu Sheng without looking back.

When Yang Rong and Jin Youzi heard the order, they also mustered up their last strength and followed Yang Shiqi to run forward desperately.

Zhu Yong and the others finally sensed their intentions, scolded the three for being cunning, and chased after them in a hurry. But there are still many people between them, and this chase is mostly futile......

Under the frustrated gaze of Zhu Yong and others, Yang Shiqi and the others smoothly rushed out of the crowd and entered the open area. At this moment, there is no obstacle between the three of them and Liu Sheng, as long as they run over desperately, they can escape!

However, something unexpected happened, Yang Shiqi and the three of them suddenly slipped under their feet and fell to the ground in embarrassment!

The three of them struggled to get up, trying to run further, but they stumbled and almost fell again.

It turned out that the open land between them and Liu Sheng, because no one trampled on it, the rain and snow quickly condensed, and a complete layer of ice had formed.
