"What, Lu Jiude was cut?"

"Let's wait for the old man to come and ask him what the old man means."

In the quaint house, four important ministers of Nanjing were gathered together, waiting for a person, and the tea that was respectfully served by the servants in front of them had no intention of drinking.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

With the sound of coughing, an old man about sixty years old, supported by a graceful girl who was at least forty years younger than him, trembled into the main hall.

The girl is one of the best in the world known as Qin Huai Bayan, and Liu is so.

She was dressed in green clothes, her eyes seemed to be a little starlight, with a little coldness, and she was full of a rejection and indifference thousands of miles away, and she was unparalleled.

The old man didn't have any official uniforms on him, but the other four important ministers of the court all stood up together and bowed respectfully.

"Old Qian, you can count it."

These four important ministers have a good reputation, and they are known for their honesty and dedication to public service on weekdays, and their protégés are all over the south of the Yangtze River, and even in Taqing, there are many old relatives and friends who are officials.

But they all respected the old man in front of them who didn't even wear official uniforms, and the identity of this person can be seen from this!

This person is Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin and a well-known writer.

"Miss Liu, old money..."

Wang Duo, the second assistant of the cabinet, looked at the girl, and the girl's youthful aura penetrated into his heart, making his breath seem a little disordered, and his eyes gradually became greedy.

Without waiting for Liu Ru to reply, Qian Qianyi pulled her back to his side like a baby, sat down in the south and facing north, and said in an old way:

"The old man has already left, and he no longer cares about the government, what are you still doing?"

The four important ministers looked at each other a few times, and their faces were very anxious.

"Old Qian, we are here to invite you out of the mountain."

"Now that the court has no money, everyone has become headless flies, and I don't know what to do."

Wang Duo also said: "Old Qian, the crown prince is back, Emperor Hongguang has abdicated, and now it is the Shaowu Dynasty." ”

"Emperor Shaowu asked us to invite you out of the mountain and serve as the first assistant."

Qian Qianyi actually knew these things for a long time, and when he heard this, he still looked very surprised, and his eyes widened:

"What, such a big thing happened."

"When the prince returned to the country, he still remembered his old age! It's just the old man's body, I don't know if I can still serve the country......"

Wang Duo smiled and said: "Old Qian, we all know that you are not in good health, but now, the court is in ruins, and the eunuchs are ambushed one after another, and you are still needed to go out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation!" ”

Qian Qianyi asked, "So, today's majesty no longer trusts the eunuchs?" ”

Wang Duo nodded and said, "It's not just that I don't trust it, but I even hate the eunuchs, just like the first emperor!" ”

"Ma Shiying was ambushed the night before he ascended the throne, Ruan Dacheng was sentenced to the nine clans, and even Lu Jiude, the governor of the Beijing camp, was beheaded today."

"His head is now hanging on the Mukden Gate!"

"Now that Shaowu is in the first year, there is a great tendency to restore the early years of the emperor, just wait for Qian Lao to come out of the mountain, I will wait for Donglin, and the Ying Dynasty will not be a problem!"

Qian Qianyi was in tears and couldn't cry.

"The old man has no intention of going out of the mountain, the Son of Heaven is like this, the old man is willing to give up this crippled body, assist the son of the Holy Tomorrow, and rejuvenate my Ming!"

When several people heard this, they got up one after another and actually cried.

"Qian Lao Gaoyi, a model of my generation!"

"My life, I would like to be headed by Qian Lao!"

......

Since all the eunuchs killed by Zhu Cihong were the eunuchs who were in power in the former Hongguang Dynasty, the Donglin Party did not seem to find anything unusual.

At least for now, they're happy.

Rejoice what?

Because their party leader, Qian Qianyi, is about to go out of the mountain!

What is the Donglin Party tossing so much for?

Isn't it just for them, the party leader Qian Qianyi, who doesn't want to be idle at home, to come out again to control the government and control the political situation.

It can be said that Zhu Cihong's move to kill Ruan Dacheng first and then Lu Jiude was exactly what they wanted.

But Zhu Cihong didn't have this mind at all.

Killing Ruan Dacheng may have taken a step back towards Donglin, but cutting Lu Jiude today was only out of his original intention.

Lu Jiude is in charge of the Beijing camp, and if he doesn't change to his own people, he really can't sleep steadily.

What's more, this Lu Jiude once identified himself as a fake in the palace, and Zhu Cihong can be regarded as revenge for killing a traitor.

The Donglin Party was busy, and Zhu Cihong was not idle, and after cutting Lu Jiude, he immediately ordered Han Zanzhou to take over the post of commander of Jingying.

The eunuchs who were martyred in history are always more trustworthy than Lu Jiude's surrender.

There aren't many options available now, let's make use of it first, as for how to use it, let's talk about it when the time comes, and see how he performs!

Soon, the group came to Xiaolingwei, located on the outskirts of Nanjing.

Compared with the Imperial City of Nanjing, Xiaolingwei really looks dilapidated, and I don't know how many years it has not been repaired.

On both sides of Xiaolingwei's dragon road, there are messy debris everywhere, I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang will jump out of the coffin in anger if he knows.

The commander Mei Chun had already received the news of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and waited under the big archway with a group of soldiers guarding the tomb of filial piety.

Seeing the emperor and his party, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"The commander of the minister's filial piety and the mausoleum guard, and lead all the soldiers of the filial piety guard to guard the mausoleum, see long live my emperor, long live!"

Long live long live this kind of title, the Ming generation generally does not shout on major occasions, and it is usually heard more at court meetings.

But for Xiaolingwei, the last time he saw the emperor, he didn't know that it was the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, so he naturally had to use the most solemn title.

Zhu Cihong hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.

Looking at the sparse mausoleum guards in front of him, he hadn't noticed the seriousness of the matter yet, and asked with a smile:

"What about the others?"

Mei Chun asked politely: "I don't know who your majesty is talking about?" ”

"Are the rest of Xiaolingwei guarding the tomb all guarding the tomb?" Zhu Cihong's face moved slightly, and he had already guessed a result in his heart.

When Han Zanzhou heard this, he looked a little nervous.

Before that, he lied, in fact, Xiaolingwei did not have 5,000 people, but who would have thought that this emperor would come to inspect directly.

The emperor personally came to Xiaolingwei to inspect this kind of thing, and the last time it was traced back to his grandfather's generation, and he could only be lucky to catch up with it.

Han Zanzhou naturally didn't know what Zhu Cihong valued now about how to defend Nanjing City, and he couldn't wait for one day to pass as two days.

Xiaolingwei, who was martyred in history, must have come in person.

Mei Chun glanced at Han Zanzhou, and finally said, "Your Majesty, that's all there is to you." ”

"There are a total of 1,308 soldiers guarding the tomb of Xiaolingwei, except for two who are seriously ill, the rest are all here."

As he spoke, Mei Chun knelt on the ground with a puff again.

"The minister is guilty!"

"Xiaolingwei has become what he is now, and the minister is guilty of capital crimes!"

Zhu Cihong was stunned and didn't react for a while.

But soon, it was relieved.

In terms of the degree of erosion of Nanming in history, concealing the number of soldiers is really a child's play, and it is not even a big deal.

Xiaolingwei still has a thousand soldiers left, which is quite good, you know, these people died in history to defend Nanjing.

With these people in hand, at least they have the power to protect themselves.

Zhu Cihong once again helped Mei Chun up with his own hands, looked at the shabby old-fashioned leather armor on his body, and then turned his head to look, and then noticed.

The more than 1,000 people of Xiaolingwei are like an army called Huazi, and they are not as good as the officials of Nanjing Mansion.

As the commander of Xiaolingwei, Mei Chun still has a leather armor that has been passed down for many generations, and the others don't even have decent clothes.

Even so, they fought for Daming until the last moment.

Zhu Cihong was a little moved by the loyalty of these people, and no longer had any worries, and said directly:

"Emperor Taizu's purpose in setting up the Xiaoling Guard was originally to guard the Xiaoling Tomb, but now, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and it's time for you to serve."

"It was you Huaixi children who followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world back then, and I want to take you out today and follow me to fight the world again!"

"Do you have a reason?"

The soldiers guarding the tomb were quiet for a long time, which made Zhu Cihong look a little embarrassed.

Wouldn't these people be willing?

Soon, under the leadership of Mei Chun, the soldiers guarding the tomb knelt on the ground one after another and shouted loudly: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty to the death!" ”

Zhu Cihong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly:

"Xiaolingwei obeys the order, since the commander Mei Chun and below, all Xiaolingwei has been incorporated into the 26th guard of the Son of Heaven's army, and in the future, you will only obey my orders!"

"If you say something else, just fart!"
