Chapter 16 - Playing Dumb

Everything that is happening in the barracks ten kilometers outside the West Gate of Shuixi......

Because there are more than 100,000 people brought over by the three towns, although Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan have done their best, they still can't stop the escape of a few lucky people!

As a result, all this gradually spread in the city of Nanjing, at this time the sky was already dark, the Nanjing Palace had already been closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave again.

But the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty, who received this amazing news, were all panicked and concentrated in front of the palace gate at this moment, wanting the guards guarding inside to open the palace gate and let them in......

Because he was afraid that Chongzhen was worried, after basically the overall situation had been decided.

In addition, having seen Zhang Yun's skills again, Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan hurriedly asked Zhang Yun to run back to the palace to report to Chongzhen.

So when the ministers wanted to ask to see Chongzhen, Chongzhen was listening to Zhang Yun narrating the scene that happened outside the Shuixi Gate......

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the string that had been tightening tightly was inexplicably relaxed!

With the destruction of the elite soldiers and horses of the Three Towns, things have come to this point, even if the overall situation has been decided!

Because the men and horses they left in their respective territories were basically some wretched, and the elite men and horses had been annihilated, the reason why they left those soldiers and horses in their original territory and refused to bring them to the capital.

To put it bluntly, it is just counting on those wastes who can't fight to collect taxes and oppress the people, and the people of the three towns who can help are either dead or run away at the moment!

The rest of the waste, only need the 100,000 or so troops in the capital to sweep the territory of the three towns, and basically return those territories to the hands of the imperial court, of course, those wastes in the Beijing camp do not need to be sent out, or the armies of Huang and Yan are reliable.

After escaping from Beijing City in embarrassment, Chongzhen has been holding a breath in his heart, that is, he is afraid that after escaping to Nanjing, the ministers and scholars will not recognize his throne, or become a puppet emperor.

But now all this will not happen again, except for Zuo Liangyu, there is no warlord in the entire Ming Dynasty who can restrain himself.

As for those ministers, to paraphrase the sentence said by the Taoist chief in front of him: If the mouth can say that the people are dead, then why did our ancestors need to make swords and bows?

No matter how hard they play, when the knife is on their necks, they have to be soft!

This is also the truth that Chongzhen realized after encountering such a big change.

That is to say, from this moment on, his position as the emperor can be regarded as truly re-seated, how can this not make Chongzhen happy......

So Chongzhen, who was extremely happy, excitedly said to Zhang Yun: "Is there a way for the Taoist chief to lead Zuo Liangyu to the capital as well?" ”

The corners of Zhang Yun's mouth twitched, this Chongzhen really dared to think about it!

Zuo Liangyu is not a fool, he knows that coming to the capital is death, how can he come to die?

Besides, in Chongzhen's current state, it seems that his head is overheated, so Zhang Yun decided to pour a basin of water on him to cool down and cool down......

"Your Majesty, from the point of view of Poor Dao, a trap can't catch the second prey, but if Your Majesty forcibly asks Zuo Liangyu to come here, then it will definitely be able to let him come over......"

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be speechless, so he added, "It's just that he Zuo Liangyu came to the capital by order, I'm afraid he won't come alone, how do you have to bring hundreds of thousands of people, what will Your Majesty do when the time comes?" ”

Zhang Yun's bucket of cold water was splashed in time, Chongzhen immediately calmed down, and the hall fell into deathly silence for a while!

The eunuch who had been waiting outside the door dared to knock on the door at this moment, "Long live Lord Qi, almost all the adults outside are gathered at the gate of the palace, wanting to let Long Live Lord receive them with grace." ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yun, but Zhang Yun also looked at him at this moment, and after the two glanced at each other, they nodded tacitly at the same time, probably guessing what those ministers were doing!

So Chongzhen spoke: "Do you think the Dao Leader needs to meet them now?" ”

Zhang Yun blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Isn't the palace gate locked when the sun sets?" Even if there is a major accident, you need to inform Your Majesty immediately, then you can pass it through the cracks in the palace gate! ”

"Why do you open the door to them?"

"Besides, Your Majesty is very tired today, and now that he has gone to bed, the eunuchs don't dare to disturb His Majesty, so they ......"

When Zhang Yun said this, Chongzhen took over the words and said: "So some twists and turns, I must be able to see them tomorrow morning......"

"Hahahaha......"

Then Zhang Yun and Chongzhen laughed at the same time, and the laughter was very insidious!

After making a decision, Chongzhen quickly sent a little eunuch to the palace gate to send away those ministers, and the little eunuch was also a little confused, why didn't such an important errand be handed over to those big eunuchs?

But the king's order, or to obey the drop!

So after arriving at the palace wall, the little eunuch shouted to the bottom at the top of his voice: "The long-lived master is too tired today, so he lay down early, and the grandfathers of several celebrant eunuchs are nowhere to be seen." ”

"Therefore, the little ones can't see the Long Live Lord, so they can only collect the adults' folds first, and present them to the Long Live Lord early tomorrow morning."

After the little eunuch shouted these words, he immediately pulled out his legs and ran away, because he knew that if he stayed any longer, he would inevitably be scolded, and he would not be able to talk back......

After the little eunuch turned around and ran away, a group of civil and military ministers continued to curse and curse in front of the palace gate for a long time, and in desperation, everyone could only disperse.

Of course, it is not really dispersed, and the people of other parties don't talk about them, but the bigwigs in the Donglin Party are all concentrated at this moment, and the mansion of Gao Hongtu, the scholar of the Ministry of Rites and the scholar of Dongge University......

After a group of bigwigs sat down, the scene was deserted, no one spoke, seeing this straightforward personality of Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, he said: "Since Your Majesty disappeared for two or three months, and returned to Nanjing to control the government, this personality has changed too much!" ”

"Not to mention anything else, there are definitely ghosts in this incident tonight, it is obvious that Your Majesty must know about what happened outside the Shuixi Gate today, but he deliberately pretended not to know."

After Liu Zongzhou finished speaking, no one answered, because what he said was all nonsense, which one of you here was not a human spirit? The trick that Chongzhen played, everyone naturally knew it.

Besides, when will it be the turn of the little eunuch in the palace?

Wang Chengen, Lu Jiude, and Han Zanzhou, the big men among the three eunuchs, after this major event, they were also like invisible, and they disappeared......
