"Penglaihou's soldiers and horses have surrounded the Forbidden City, so there is no need to be so coy!"

The crown prince Zhu Cihong slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage, protected the two younger brothers and Zhang Yan behind him, glanced at Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, hatefully, and then looked at Li Xingzhi mockingly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong to blame Ben Hou, this Hou is here to be on the side of the Qing monarch, to remove the traitorous party, you see that this is His Majesty's important ministers of the court, if this Hou and King De do not do extraordinary things, this Hou is afraid that my Ming Dynasty 300 years of foundation will be overturned."

Li Xingzhi did not care about Zhu Cihong's accusation, but pointed to the thousands of civil and military ministers in front of the Daming Gate and Zhu Chunchen, who was kneeling in front of King De, and replied to Zhu Cihong's questioning.

"Alas......!"

Zhu Cihong sighed heavily, he didn't expect that Chengguo Gong, who was entrusted by his father, would actually send his three brothers and his aunt to Li Xingzhi and King De, let alone that those teachers who usually chanted loyalty, filial piety and righteousness in front of him all knelt down in front of King De to flatter and invite favor.

"His Royal Highness and Niangniang rest assured, the ministers have no two hearts, it is really because of the rampant traitors in the country, and they have no choice but to follow His Royal Highness King De to appease, that is, to revitalize the dynasty, Zhongxing I will go to the Chengguo Mansion to rest for a while, and wait for the ministers to eliminate the traitors, and then ask His Highness and Niangniang for guilt."

By the light of the fire, Li Xingzhi peeked into the carriage and saw that although Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan was wearing a cloak and green clothes, her figure was very slim.

Of course, Li Xingzhi is also curious, and wants to see what this generation of cleopatra recorded in history looks like? There's nothing wrong with that.

"I hope Penglai Hou Mo will break his promise!"

Zhu Cihong was also hard-hearted, sneered at Li Xingzhi, turned around and pulled down the curtain.

"Master, master, the old slave has seen the master!"

Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, who was escorted by several iron soldiers, struggled frantically, screaming and wanting to pounce on Zhu Cihong's carriage.

"Handsome?"

Li Bangjie, who was following Li Xingzhi, looked at Li Xingzhi hesitantly, he really didn't know how to deal with this big eunuch who held the authority of the inner court.

"If he is loyal, let him serve the crown prince and Empress Yi'an!"

Li Xingzhi waved his hand, and ordered the left and right guards to release people, the Forbidden City is already under his own feet, what should be done is still to be done, in history, Li Zicheng broke the Beijing division and did not stop Wang Dehua, is he not as good as him?

"The thief who betrays the master, the Son of Heaven is still in the palace, and you will come to flatter the new master, it is really shameless, although our family is a eunuch, but it is not rare to be with these pigs and dogs who are not as good as villains!"

Wang Dehua, who was out of the control of the iron soldiers, rushed to Zhu Chunchen, Chen Yan and others with an arrow step, and one after another big ear scrapers pulled over, and Chen Yan and the others who hit directly turned red, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Phew......!"

Wang Dehua kicked in a mess, and soon lost his strength, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on Chen Yan's face, turned his head and stumbled towards Zhu Cihong's carriage.

"Master, master, queen, it's an old slave, the old slave is sorry for the emperor!"

Wang Dehua, who had vented, hugged Zhu Cihong's carriage number and cried.

"It's the king's companion, you don't have to be sad, my father and the emperor don't know anyone, and he is a traitor in the Manchu Dynasty, don't blame Uncle De for raising troops and making it difficult to appease, and go to the Chengguo Mansion with the palace."

Zhu Cihong in the carriage spoke again, his tone revealing a bit of helplessness, how could he have thought that almost all of the thousands of officials in this capital division would rebel.

"Li Bangjie, there are still many traitors in Beijing, you choose five hundred iron soldiers to act as the prince's guard, be sure to guard the Chengguo Mansion, and not a single fly is allowed to fly out."

"Whoa!"

Li Bangjie answered the order, picked up the mace in his hand and went to order troops.

"Lord, the ministers used by His Majesty are like this, obviously they are no longer suitable to reign in the world, the lord wants to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, although the prince is young, but he is extraordinary, I am afraid it is not easy to control!"

Xu Yixian, the counselor of the Military Marshal's Mansion, cautiously approached Li Xingzhi's side and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty is immoral, when you abdicate the throne to thank the world, the prince is benevolent and filial, and naturally wants to serve around Your Majesty.

Li Xingzhi pursed his lips, although Zhu Cihong was in front of the carriage, he still saw the seven-year-old child Zhu Cijiong who was shrinking beside Zhang Yan through the firelight.

"In fact, the Jingshi is broken, and the ministers of the court are subservient, and the lord can take the Ming Dynasty, so why bother to make a little boy the emperor?"

"Mr. Xu, it is difficult for this Hou to enter Jingjing in the name of the Qing Jun, if it is a yellow robe, how can it block the mouth of the world, and there are many Zhu Ming clans, once it is self-reliant, Jiangnan will inevitably boil, now the north is broken, Liaodong Jiannu has not been destroyed, Li Zicheng in the Central Plains has hundreds of thousands of troops, Shanhaiguan and Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of military horses, my Jingbei army is only 80,000 people, how can I deal with it? Supporting the enthronement of the son of Chongzhen, we just coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, integrate the resources of the imperial court, and wait for the day when Li Chuang is eliminated and the Dongyu is pacified. ”

Li Xingzhi's eyes stared at the majestic Daming Gate, the rafters that came out were rotten first, and the meat in the buns was not put outside, he didn't want to ruin the Jingbei Army that he had created because of the false name of an emperor.

"The lord is high, and his subordinates understand!"

Xu Yi clearly saw that Li Xing's mind had been decided, so he did not persuade him again.

"Let's go back to the mansion to get the money, Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian will stay, and Shi Tian, you will take five hundred soldiers to the Chen Mansion and the Gao Mansion to get people."

As Li Bangjie escorted Zhu Cihong's carriage away, Zhang Shaoqian, the general of the fourth town, held a long knife and looked at the civil and military officials kneeling in front of the Daming Gate.

"The ministers obey the decree of King De!"

People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, Chen Yan silently calculated, there are more than 4,000 officials present, Li Xingzhi asked for 20 million taels of military salary, and the average of the officials is only about 5,000 taels of silver per person, which is not too much pressure for them, and those who can rush to kneel to welcome the new lord are all transparent people, which family does not have tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Your Highness spare your life, the criminal minister is willing to give all his family wealth to His Highness and the Duke of Qi, and please raise your noble hand and spare us!"

Chen Xinjia and Gao Qi knelt down in front of Li Xingzhi and Zhu Youshu, crying and crying, and kept wailing and pleading guilty.

"Hehe, when Lu Duchen was in the bloody battle between Baoding and Dongyu, did you ever think that today, when the people of the Central Plains were waiting to be fed, you and others continued to play the Son of Heaven to ask for additional endowments, have you ever thought about today, and now ask Ben Shuai to spare you, it's too late! Someone is coming, tie these two thieves to Ben Shuai in front of this Daming Gate, and tomorrow will be executed here in Ling Chi to thank the world. ”
