Wu Sangui was conspiring with several confidant generals to ambush and kill Emperor Chongzhen.

Suddenly, someone came to report that the emperor had arrived.

Wu Sangui and his confidant generals were stunned, broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at each other.

"This, so fast?" One will tremble in his voice.

"How is that possible? Wrong......"

"Chongzhen Imperial Driver, isn't it expected that it will take two more days to arrive at Shanhaiguan?"

The generals could not believe it and fell into a panic.

After all, Wu Sangui was scheming, and quickly came back to his senses, pretended to be calm, and beckoned to the house slave: "Ah Cai, come in and talk." ”

Ah Cai pushed the door into the house and knelt down in front of Wu Sangui.

As Wu Sangui's closest house slave, Ah Cai probably knows what Wu Sangui is planning.

"How many people came?" Wu Sangui asked.

"Add the emperor, a total of five people, enter the barracks and come slowly."

"Only five?"

Wu Sangui's eyes rolled, and his mood became active.

He has received a lot of news in the past two days.

The wife Zhang sent his son to report, the emperor summoned his concubine Chen Yuanyuan, for two hours, Chen Yuanyuan returned home, his dress was untidy, his hair was messy, and he seemed to have sweated a lot, and the emperor gave Chen Yuanyuan a decree to his wife for no reason.

Zhang concluded that Chen Yuanyuan had an adulterous affair with the emperor.

This made Wu Sangui feel humiliated.

It's not a big deal, though.

For Wu Sangui, Chen Yuanyuan is just a prostitute who can sing and dance attractively, and she is just a favorite plaything, and if the emperor wants it, it is no problem to give it away.

He was more mindful that the emperor arbitrarily promoted the people who surrendered to the thieves and handed over the power to them, which was the most dissatisfied.

The emperor not only did not return any of them, but also killed them, and strictly pursued them, and once the evidence was found, he beheaded them all over the house and killed a bunch of them, including many of his comrades and relatives.

This added to his hatred.

In addition, the emperor was a white wolf with empty gloves, seized nearly 70 million taels of wealth, successively issued major edicts, lavishly provided disaster relief, and provided sufficient food and salary, causing the emperor's prestige to soar, and the soldiers' antipathy gradually disappeared.

If it goes on like this, he definitely won't have a chance, but he finally got such an advantage, and he doesn't want to lose it.

Now, the emperor personally conquered the Northern Expedition, which is tantamount to coming to take away his military power, because all power belongs to the emperor.

Once he takes away the military power, he Wu Sangui will have nothing.

In secret correspondence, the Qing army promised him a prince, who would rule a large territory on his own, and have a large number of troops independently.

All the conditions he put forward were met by the Qing army.

Wu Sangui believed in the Qing army, because the Ming generals were favored, and there were three precedents.

Kong Youde, Feng Gongshun King.

Geng Zhongming, King of Huaishun.

Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun.

Therefore, he secretly promised to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing army.

Before surrendering, he didn't do anything, and he was ready to take the opportunity to take a major vote and a big bargaining chip - the Ming Emperor.

He was in full swing, preparing to ambush the pro-conquest team, capture or kill the Ming Emperor, and then release the elite iron cavalry of the Qing army into the pass, and wave the army south together, quickly occupying the capital, the city wall is scarred and can be easily breached.

However, I never expected that the emperor would come ahead of schedule.

And, with only four people.

After Wu Sangui was shocked, great joy rose in his heart.

Chongzhen's personal visit to the barracks is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is a pie-in-the-sky thing.

It was the biggest bargaining chip he could ever dream of.

To take the Ming Emperor, it can be dedicated to the Qing army, or it can be coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

"Hehehe......" Wu Sangui laughed, lowered his voice and said, "Ben Shuai was about to send ambush soldiers to capture him, but he was good, he was automatically sent to the door, God help me." ”

When the general heard Wu Sangui say this, his head turned around, and he also turned from panic to surprise.

"This shows that in the dark, the gods are blessing the handsome."

"The big thing has been done."

"Sure enough, as the commander expected, many rumors from the capital are false, and the faint monarch is still reckless and intellectually worried."

"That's it, stupid faint monarch, how can there be an emperor with four people to conquer in person, what is he thinking about in such a hurry, by the way, will he hear any rumors......"

In the midst of the generals' discussions, some people calmed down and raised a question.

And everyone's impression of Chongzhen is still preserved before.

"No matter what the purpose of his coming," Wu Sangui turned his gaze to the cup on the coffee table, and smiled without smiling, "Wait a while, I'll take the cup as a sign and take it down." ”

"Yes."

The generals promised.

The other side.

After Zhou Lu entered the barracks, he was not in a hurry to find Wu Sangui.

He grabbed the reins, slowed his ride, and waved to the kneeling soldiers.

Most of the soldiers had never seen the emperor with their own eyes, but they had heard rumors of the golden dragon robe, and only the emperor could wear a golden robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, representing the Ninety-Five Supreme.

However, in the impression of the soldiers, the emperor must not sit in a delicate and gorgeous imperial chariot, hugging each other in front and back, as if the stars are holding the moon, followed by a large group of courtiers and eunuchs in front and behind, with great pomp and excitement?

And this man in a dragon robe, although he could faintly feel his imperial momentum, only followed four generals in battle armor, looking cold and lonely, and there was a world of difference from imagination.

As a result, most people were confused.

When Xu Da shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly knelt down and saluted, still with doubts in their eyes, it was impossible for anyone to dare to run to the barracks to pretend to be the emperor.

The generals or officials who had seen the emperor reacted at this moment and hurriedly shouted:

"Yes, it's the emperor! See the Emperor! ”

"Long live my emperor!"

"See the Emperor's ......"

"The Emperor's ......"

Without any psychological preparation, the shock center was extremely excited, and everyone's voices were chaotic.

Zhou Lu smiled kindly, beckoned all the way, and also received coquettish value all the way.

That's one of the effects you want.

An emperor suddenly appeared in the barracks, and this kind of surprise naturally made their mood fluctuate greatly and send coquettish values.

As a coquettish master, every wave of coquettish value must be harvested.

In addition, Zhou Lu only took the four major generals and rashly entered Wu Sangui's camp, surrounded by Wu Sangui's people.

He deliberately created an opportunity for Wu Sangui.

At this moment,

Wu Sangui led his henchmen and generals to run out of the official residence, knelt in front of Zhou Luma, and pretended to be frightened: "See Your Majesty, the minister is not far away, and the crime deserves death." ”

"All Aiqing, let's be even." Zhou Lu said, jumped off the horse, and helped Wu Sangui up, "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

In front of the soldiers, you must first be polite and friendly to Wu Sangui.

Even if there is a rebellion, many low-level soldiers are actually involuntary, and disobeying the orders of the generals is a capital crime and will be executed on the spot.

But at present, most of the people who are plotting rebellion are only higher-ranking generals, and the low-level soldiers do not know about it.
