Laifu's words made Zhu Yousong's heart pound, and he immediately decided to do it.

Although he doesn't take much care of political affairs, Zhu Yousong also knows how dangerous the situation is. From the 200,000 army marching to Nanjing and the annihilation of the whole army, to being beaten outside Nanchang by the Praetorian Guards, the situation was so reversed, it was not a few scholars who said that there was still a turning point, Zhu Yousong was not so easy to fool.

Saying that the royal driving campaign will definitely be able to win, phew, it's a fart! Zhu Yousong is still very clear about how many catties and taels he has, how can he know how to lead troops, how can he know how to fight, and it is good not to be a drag. What can be said to boost morale, if the rebels still have morale, why would Jiujiang City fall one day?

Moreover, the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce and dangerous, once the Praetorian Guard knows where they are, they must be eliminated quickly, and it will be difficult to survive at that time.

Thinking about it, it is difficult to escape death left and right, it is better to run away privately according to what Laifu said, and escape from the city while the Praetorian Guard has not yet attacked, even if you can't escape to Nanyang, you can find a mountain to stay in, so that you can survive.

After thinking about it clearly, Zhu Yousong immediately ordered Laifu to prepare secretly.

"You can't let others know about this matter, you quietly find a set of eunuch clothes for me, and then prepare some softness, let's quietly leave the palace." Zhu Yousong commanded.

Blessing took the order and left.

Laifu is the son of the Fu Wangfu family, and grew up with Zhu Yousong since he was a child, in Zhu Yousong's view, he is naturally a loyal person, as for the rest of the palace, it is not trustworthy.

Then Zhu Yousong ordered to go down again, saying that he was about to drive the royal expedition, and he would fast for three days and pray for blessings to the previous emperors. No one is allowed to enter the dormitory for three days, and violators will be killed. Then he drove all the palace maids and eunuchs out of the dormitory.

After Meimei slept for a while, at dawn, Zhu Yousong pretended to be a little eunuch, and left the palace accompanied by Laifu, and then immediately changed into ordinary soldiers' clothes, and used the gold medal of the prison to go out of Nanchang City. There was a gold medal, and the army guarding the city gate did not dare to stop it.

After finding a place where no one was around, the two of them changed out of their soldiers' uniforms and into the clothes of ordinary people.

"Childe, you wait here, I'll go to the village in front to find a car." Laifu said to Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong has been obese and has been lacking exercise for a long time, and he has long been tired and unable to walk, so he nodded again and again when he heard the words.

I don't know how long it took, just when Zhu Yousong thought that Laifu had thrown himself away and escaped, Laifu finally appeared, driving a donkey cart to appear.

"Your Highness, sleep beautifully in the carriage, and I'll call you when you get there." Laifu said with a smile.

Zhu Yousong was so tired that he didn't care about asking where he was, so he got into the donkey cart and fell asleep.

The donkey cart stopped and stopped, and Zhu Yousong didn't dare to get out of the car in the middle, eating and drowning in the car, seeing the sun slanting in the west, the donkey cart finally stopped.

"Your Highness, it's time to get there." Rifle opened the door of the carriage and said with a smile.

"Where, where?" Zhu Yousong muttered.

"You'll find out when you get out of the car." Laifu stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Yousong's arm as he spoke, and dragged it out.

Zhu Yousong staggered out of the donkey cart, and was about to get angry when he was stunned again, and a barracks appeared in front of him, and a team of soldiers with sharp blades was walking towards them. ….

......

"What? Isn't there anyone in the prison fasting?" Cabinet, when hearing the news, Xie Xuelong, Zhou Yingqi and Wu Zhaoyuan looked at each other.

When is it time, and which one should you quit fasting?

Seeing that the battle is urgent, the Praetorian Guards are about to fight outside Nanchang City, and fasting at this time is really speechless.

"I'm afraid he's not ......," Zhou Yingqi said quietly. I'm afraid that everyone understands what it is.

At the beginning of the proposal to drive the expedition, Zhou Yingzhi could feel the resistance on Zhu Yousong's face, it was the unanimous consent of the three ministers that he had to agree, and now it is clear that he is delaying time in the name of fasting. But the military situation is urgent, how can it be delayed so much!

"Let's go, let's go to the prison palace together, and the matter of the royal conquest must be finalized today." Xie Xuelong immediately made a decision.

"Okay, let's go together." Weekly due date

And Wu Zhaoyuan also agreed.

The three scholars came together, and the eunuch guards guarding the palace gate did not dare to stop them, and they came to the outside of the palace smoothly. Then when they were asked to report, the little eunuch outside the dormitory refused to go in anyway.

"Three elders, spare me, the prison country said, whoever dares to go in and disturb him will be killed, not only himself, but also the nine clans." The little eunuch prayed.

The three scholars looked at each other, all of them feeling a little surprised. Zhu Yousong is usually ridiculous but not a person who is easy to kill, how could he say such cruel words, but it is more like covering up?

"Then I'll go in and ask the prison country to come out." Xie Xuelong was in a hurry, and walked directly to the dormitory.

The eunuchs guarding the palace gate looked at each other, but they did not stop them. One is because of Xie Xuelong's status, and the other is that they are also puzzled, because there has been no movement in the dormitory for too long, and a person can stay quietly for so long, it is not like Zhu Yousong's personality at all.

"Where's the prison country?" After a while, Xie Xuelong's voice suddenly came from the palace.

"Come in, the prison is not in the palace at all!"

Zhou Yingqi and Wu Zhaoyuan glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran towards the dormitory, and the eunuchs followed closely into the dormitory. Sure enough, the dormitory was quiet, and there was no shadow of Zhu Yousong at all.

"Say, where did the prison go?" Xie Xuelong grabbed the clothes of the chief eunuch and asked.

"I, I don't know." The eunuch was dumbfounded.

"Go and find it, you must find the prison country." Xie Xuelong pushed him away and shouted.

The entire palace suddenly panicked.

The news came quickly, in the morning, someone found that the eunuch Laifu, the most trusted eunuch around the prison country, took a person out of the palace, and then someone came to report at the city gate, early in the morning, two people took the gold medal of the prison country out of Nanchang City, afraid of delaying the military situation, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop it.

Now they all understood, Xie Xuelong and the three of them looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

"If you don't want to go to the expedition, don't you go, as for escaping?" Wu Zhaoyuan muttered.

The soldiers in front are still fighting bloodily, and their ministers are working hard, and he actually escaped in disguise, is this what people do?

"Not like a human king, not like a human king, everyone, we are all wrong." Zhou Yingzhi suddenly burst into tears. ….

Because of Chongzhen's tyranny, a group of officials in Jiangxi made a move to support Zhu Yousong to supervise the country, hoping to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and prevent Jiangshan Sheji from dying in the hands of Zhu Youzhen. Now it seems that everyone is wrong, and the fault is to support a person who is not worthy at all.

"Now that we're done, let's talk about what to do." Xie Xuelong sighed.

"Seal off the city first so that the news will not leak out, and then send someone to contact the Praetorian Guards outside the city to discuss the matter of surrender." Wu Zhaoyuan suggested.

At this point, there is no other way but to surrender. The news of Zhu Yousong's escape will spread sooner or later, and it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, and the collapse of hundreds of thousands of troops will also be instantaneous.

There's no way to fight anymore. If you surrender early, maybe you can negotiate some conditions, and if nothing else, at least you can save your life.

Xie Xuelong and Zhou Yingqi glanced at each other, and both nodded silently.

So the three of them, in the name of the cabinet, ordered that the army be sent to strictly seal off the palace, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, and at the same time sealing the city gate to prevent news from leaking.

Then after discussion, the three decided to send an envoy to the camp of the Praetorian Guard to discuss the surrender of Nanchang, in essence, for the three to fight for the treatment after surrender.

The envoy sent set out in the morning and returned to Nanchang City in the afternoon, telling the three elders that Liu Zongbing of the Praetorian Guard had said that he would either surrender unconditionally, and he would not promise any conditions and had no right to promise.

"No one asked him to promise, but let him go and tell the emperor, please ask the emperor to give an order." Zhou Yingji shouted. The top general of the Praetorian Guard outside the city is just a general soldier, so naturally he can't decide anything, and Zhou Yingji and the others still know about this.

"Liu Zongbing also said that he would send someone to tell the emperor, and he would tell him the good news of the capture of Zhu Yousong." The messenger glanced at the three of them and whispered

。

"What? He caught the prisoner?" All three were shocked.

This is also about the conditions of a bird......

Fifteen miles north of Kanglang Mountain, the camp of the Praetorian Guard of Poyang Lake.

"Your Majesty, you are overjoyed!" Hong Chengchou personally took a small boat to Zhu Youzhen's ship, climbed onto the deck and shouted happily.

"What kind of happy event, Aiqing said slowly." Zhu Youyou ordered the prosecutor to give Hong Chengchou tea on the seat.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, sent someone to report that he had captured Zhu Yousong of the Tang Rebellion Domain." Hong Chengchou saluted and didn't sit down, so he said to himself.

"Caught Zhu Yousong? Really?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly stood up from his seat, incredulous.

Hong Chengchou nodded again and again: "The minister couldn't believe it when he heard the news at first, but he only understood the reason after reading the letter from General Chen."

As he spoke, he handed the documents sent by Chen Yongfu to Zhu Youzhen.

"So stupid!" After reading the paperwork, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sneer, laughing at Zhu Yousong for being too stupid. How can you say that it is also a prison country supported by many people, and it also has an army of 200,000, and it is such a thing as running away without permission, just run, and being betrayed by the most trusted eunuch around him, isn't it stupid or what?

"Your Majesty, the big thing is decided." Hong Chengchou said happily.

The capture of Zhu Yousong meant the complete destruction of the Nanchang rebel court, and once the news spread, the 200,000 rebels would no longer have the courage to resist.

"Aiqing, let's go and arrange it, and strive to make it bloodless." Zhu Youzhen commanded.

The situation is so favorable, there is no need to use the sword anymore, to subdue the 200,000 army without a fight, to accept Nanchang City completely, and not to plunge Jiangxi into war, which is a good thing for both the imperial court and the people of Jiangxi.

"Decree." Hong Chengchou agreed to go down.

ps: The fever has subsided, and the spirit is okay.
