Chapter 720: A Doomed Ending
Ma Changgui pulled Liu Jin to sit down and brought over a cup of tea: "Big brother, you moisten your throat first. After the younger brother arrived at the Xuanfu, the news was not very well-informed, what is your majesty?"
"Alas!" Liu Jin let out a long sigh, his eyes were gloomy: "Changgui, our family is still confused! Originally, our family and His Majesty had already been killed from the Forbidden City, who knew that a bullet would fly out of nowhere... Alas, our family has suspected Zhu Houwei, but the most unlikely person is His Royal Highness King Wu. How many times King Wu has shown mercy to Wan Sui Ye's subordinates, and how many times in the face of the throne at his fingertips, King Wu has given it to Wan Sui Ye, not to mention that Wan Sui Ye and King Wu have a deep brotherhood, there is no true love in this heavenly family. But King Wu was really stunned!"
Ma Changgui also sighed a few words, and then put forward his opinion: "Is it thunder rain?"
"No! Lei Buyu is without the protection of the Lord Long Live Lord, what kind of green onion is he? Sooner or later, it will be swallowed by others! How dare he?"
"Liu Zhang?"
"Why? Liu Zhang is just a sour thing, why does he have the service of a dead soldier in the army?"
"Xiao Jing?"
"Possibly! But Old Man Xiao, our family knows that he is loyal to the Heavenly Family, and he will never have the idea of taking the life of the Long Live Lord."
"Could it be the nail that King Xing planted before?"
"Possibly, but unlikely! Although the soul chasing gun is easy to use, it is not fed with thousands of bullets, who can ask for souls in the dark? How could Xingwang He De buy such a good hand in the army? What our family suspects the most is Wang Hua!"
"Wang Hua? Wang Shouren's champion father? Why is he?"
"Hehe, who is the most useless patriarch in Jiangnan? That's him. With his position, it is not difficult to have a good hand, the key is that after that night, he was nowhere to be found, and even His Royal Highness King Wu could not track down his news! Previously, King Wu rescued the driver, and Liu Jian in Beijing presided over the overall situation with him. After Long Live Lord returned to Beijing, Liu Jian returned to Jinling, but Wang Hua was nowhere to be seen."
is worthy of being the governor who once took charge of Dongchang, after Liu Jin returned to the north from Jiangnan, Zhu Houzhao's death gradually became clear.
Ma Changgui shook his head: "Big brother, you are all inferred, and you can't do it!" From the younger brother's point of view, Xungui is also very likely! Back then, Long Live Lord rectified the vassal king, and the next step must be Xungui. The land is so vast that those vassal kings will never be able to occupy it. If there are people among the nobles who are unwilling to go to the barren land and fish in troubled waters, it is not impossible! Big brother, you didn't just want your younger brother to help avenge Your Majesty, did you?"
Liu Jin was stunned and sighed, "Yes, that's what you said. Our family is thinking, alas, it is too late for His Royal Highness King Wu to ascend the throne and check again. Changgui, what are you going to do next?"
"Listen to the eldest brother, if the eldest brother doesn't come, the younger brother has no choice but to take refuge in His Royal Highness King Wu."
"Well, it's honest with our family!"
Ma Changgui shook his head: "Look at what you said! Big brother, although you are a eunuch, the younger brother and you are on the ground, that is a brother!"
Liu Jin laughed and arched his hand towards Ma Changgui: "Big brother is wrong! Don't take Changgui to heart! Alas, people are warm and cold, I can't imagine that I, Liu Jin, can really have a brother! In this case, our family will tell you the bottom, King Wu has an order, and the Xuanfu army wants to turn into King Wu's soldiers without pulling! Zhang Decheng has no deep friendship with our family, is it possible?"
Ma Changgui smiled: "The situation is stronger than people, even if he refuses, hehe, unless he doesn't want to live!"
The Xuanfu army is the last straw of the Jiajing Dynasty from top to bottom, and the Datong army is too far away to reach it, so it is naturally concerned. The news of the Xuanfu army's entry into Shunyi reached the capital, and the Manchu civil and military rejoiced.
Who knew that overnight, the Xuanfu army actually played the banner of the winged army, and the officials sent by the imperial court were detained, so far there was no foreign aid in the capital!
In the Fengtian Temple, a depressing atmosphere filled this glorious and majestic hall. Jiajing looked at the silent hall full of civil and military affairs, and there was a burst of despair in his heart.
"Report! King Wu himself came to the city and asked to open the city gates, Your Majesty, Your Majesty personally went out of the city."
Airplanes! The hall was in an uproar, and Jiajing tightly grasped the gauntlet of the dragon chair, staring at the reaction of the Manchu Dynasty cultural relics. After a while, it returned to a lifeless state, and the hall was silent, filled with deathly silence.
"Ladies and gentlemen, country
What should I do if my family is in danger?" There was a kind of anger in Jiajing's voice that he was trying to suppress, and there was also a slight fear that he couldn't detect.
Ma Wensheng let out a long sigh and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty! The old minister is incompetent! The old minister will go out of the city and let the rebel of King Wu kill the old man! Colleagues, the old man will go first, and those who are willing to die for the country, please follow in the footsteps of the old man! Your Majesty, the old minister can no longer assist Your Majesty, Your Majesty take care!"
Liang Chu laughed, followed behind Ma Wensheng, turned around and hugged his fist towards Jiajing: "Your Majesty forgives the ministers and does not say goodbye to Your Majesty, I can do what I want, I can do what I want, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness!"
Mao Ji smiled slightly and shouted, "Wait for the old man!" After speaking, he bowed to Jiajing and fell to the ground, turned around and left without saying a word!
Jin Gui looked at the black-pressed colleague in front of him and shouted, "Everyone, the master has studied hard for many years, don't you know that you can't help but Hongyi? Jin is one step ahead and waiting for you!"
Xia Yan put his hands behind his back and shouted, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and this official doesn't plan to come back alive!" Lord Jin, wait for the next official!"
Watching a group of tragic *** people walk out of the Jinluan Hall one after another, Jiajing burst into tears and muttered to himself: "Bandang knows loyal ministers, Daming, can't die!"
The Nine Ministers and the Cabinet all walked out of the Fengtian Palace, leaving only Yang Tinghe standing there alone. Yang Tinghe bowed to the ground towards Jiajing: "Your Majesty, the capital cannot be left unpresiding, and the ministers are not afraid of life and death, but they are afraid of the people suffering calamity. Your Majesty is gone, please take care!"
Jiajing finally understood that Yang Tinghe in front of him had never been loyal to a person. Perhaps in his heart, morality and the people are more important than the emperor who is high. "It's okay, I thought Lord Yang was also a master!" Jiajing looked at Yang Tinghe's back and nodded slightly.
Outside the Desheng Gate, the flag is displayed. Hua Houwei just rode on his horse, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar city in front of him.
The drawbridge slowly fell, and the heavy gates were wide open. A group of white-headed old men held round-winged black gauze hats in their hands, and walked towards the winged army that was waiting for the battle.
"Old man Ma Wensheng, let Zhu Houwei's rebellion kill the old man!"
"Old Husband Mao Ji"
"Old man Liang Chu!"
"Old man Jin Gui!"
"Old man Liu Yu"
"Old Husband Xia Yan"
"Old man Zhang Xuan"
Hua Houwei smiled dumbly and drove his horse straight to this group of old men.
When Ma Wensheng saw Hua Houwei, he shouted loudly, "Zhu Houwei!"
Hua Houwei pointed at Ma Wensheng: "Pick up his pants and hang them up!"
Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, although these people are hateful, the world is undecided."
"Humph! There is no dignity in the face of power! I am power! Do it!"
Poor Ma Wensheng is a rare person, but he was stripped off his shirt and hung high! Ma Wensheng scolded endlessly, and Hua Houwei sneered: "Tell him, dare to be tough again, castrate him!" Ma's family, all the men are castrated, and the women are sent to the barracks, let him think about it for himself!"
Ma Wensheng heard the soldiers of the wing army below shouting, "Old man Ma, Your Majesty said, you are blind again, castrate you!" Not only will you be castrated, but all the men of your Ma family will be castrated! Not only that, but all the ladies of your Ma family have been sent to the barracks, and you have to serve on the side!"
"So vicious! Old man, old man!" Ma Wensheng didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to close his eyes, loosen his body, and pretend to faint.
Hua Houwei's gaze swept towards Mao Ji, and Mao Ji sneered: "Thief, even if you destroy the Mao family, the old man will want to."
"Ten thousand years of stench!" Hua Houwei looked at him coldly.
"What?"
"You are the culprit who initiated Duoyan Sanwei to enter Beijing, and you are the Han girl who led foreigners to slaughter the children of the Han family!"
Mao Ji was shocked and angry: "When did the old man become a Han girl?"
Hua Houwei smiled slightly: "I said that you are you, but you are not! The evidence is good, some of the Mining Investigation Bureau are masters of copying handwriting, and after being convicted, they will send you to Shunyi County to see what happens to you!"
Mao Ji looked up to the sky and sighed, slowly squatted down, and didn't speak again.
Xia Yan laughed, "High! Sure enough, it is the first Satoshi of the Ming Dynasty
Ming! But I Xia Yan doesn't care about the stench for 10,000 years, what about scolding you?"
"Hehe, I'm not ashamed! Xia Yan, I really have a way, do you really want to try?"
Xia Yan hesitated for a moment and sneered, "Oh? So why not?"
"Eight Great Hutongs!"
"What do you mean?"
"All poor people who have a habit of breaking sleeves can try the taste of Lord Xia. Oh, maybe some people want to know how the valley road of the dynasty *** is, Lord Xia, want to try? But I said first, you can decide to start, but only I can decide to end, and it will be a long time." Hua Houwei's tone became more and more cold, and the murderous aura cultivated by years of fighting became more and more uncontrollable and vigorous!
No one dared to say a word, Hua Houwei sneered and shook his head: "Wait, hehe, haha, no wonder when Zhu Houxi usurped the throne, no one said justice!" A bunch of hooligans! Walk! Go to town!"
Zhang Lun knelt down at the city gate to greet him, Hua Houwei jumped off the horse and helped him up: "Brother Lun, are you outside? Get up, get up, I'm still Zhu Houwei."
"Wechen don't dare!"
"Don't you dare! Niu Yaowu, open the way! Wait, wait a minute, now, I'm going to enter the palace!"
Bang! Bang! Sporadic gunshots continued, and Wang Zhi's subordinates also jumped out to help Niu Yaowu's troops clear the field. Those small number of bloody soldiers were completely useless, and they were coldly sniped.
Wu Jinsong led his subordinates to kneel on both sides of Chang'an Street, and Wang pointed at him and said, "This is Wu Jinsong, the famous general in the new army back then! He had already made an agreement with his ministers, and all the ministers entered through the Anding Gate."
"Meritorious Heroes! Well, let him stay with me!"
After Wu Jinsong received the order, he immediately jumped up, took three steps and made two steps, caught up with Hua Houwei's imperial horse, and clinged to the guards.
