I've never seen anyone so brazen!

Wang Duo and Gao Hongtu now have the same idea in their hearts.

But there is no way, if you want to force the new emperor to submit, you still need the Nanjing City Defense Army under Zhao Zhilong, as well as the noble forces behind him.

Gao Hongtu didn't want to say anything anymore, and sat there sullenly.

I've seen shameless, I've never seen anyone more shameless than myself, but I have to greet him with a smile, and I can't do anything with him.

Gao Hongtu is not as deep as Wang Duo's city, and his unhappiness is all written on his face.

In fact, Wang Duo was also afraid in his heart, afraid that this sophomore in high school would be angry and would get up and leave, which would ruin his big business.

So he had no choice but to go out again, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xin Cheng has a decisive role in the new dynasty, even if Your Majesty doesn't let Qian Lao come out, it can't chill your heart." ”

"Uncle Xin Cheng is loyal to His Majesty, we all know this, but Uncle Xin Cheng has made such a great achievement, but he failed to get the promotion, but we are sorry for you."

A little irritability appeared on Zhao Zhilong's face, and he quickly covered it up and said, "The two of you came to me today, is this just for this?" ”

Wang Duo nodded, "Uncle Xin Cheng is really smart, we are just entrusted by Qian Lao to come to discuss with Uncle Xin Cheng, how to make you a knight, there is nothing else." ”

Zhao Zhilong naturally knew that the thoughts hidden in the henchmen of these hypocrites would not be exposed, after all, it was still important to get down to business, so he no longer hid them.

He picked up the tea bowl on Table Mountain and took a sip: "What does the money always say?" ”

Wang Duo also picked up the tea bowl with a smile:

"Your Majesty is held hostage by the traitor Han Zanzhou and placed under house arrest in Jiming Temple, I will lead the troops to the side of the Qing monarch and cut off the traitor."

It's Qingjun's side again, Zuo Liangyu's used routines, these Donglin guys, can't they make something fresh and look more righteous?

Zhao Zhilong was a little disdainful in his heart, but he still put down the tea bowl quietly and said: "Since Your Majesty is held hostage by traitors, I am a hereditary Xincheng uncle, so naturally I should lead my troops there." ”

"Summon, gather three battalions of soldiers and horses, and follow me to Jiming Temple!"

Wang Duo was overjoyed, got up and said: "Xincheng Bo Gao is the best of righteousness, the best of my generation!" If Qian Lao knew, he would definitely let many protégés praise the deeds of Xin Chengbo. ”

Zhao Zhilong laughed, naturally understanding that the propaganda ability of the Donglin Party was not covered, he stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you for not giving up, I still need some time to put on my armor and gather my subordinates." ”

Both of them understood that this was an eviction order, so they said, "I'll leave later." ”

"Butler, send off!" After Zhao Zhilong finished speaking, the joy on his face disappeared as he turned around, and he walked into the inner hall.

......

The city of Nanjing is about to be in chaos again.

Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong and the cabinet deputy assistant Wang Duo, the official secretary Gao Hongtu and others, preached that the eunuch Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, was a traitor.

With the slogan of the Qing Jun's side, he led the Ming army to advance towards the Jiming Temple.

Zhao Zhilong's department was not constrained by military discipline, and the chickens and dogs he passed along the way were restless, and it soon evolved into a large-scale robbery.

The Fengtianfu Yamen and the Nanjing Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were all in vain, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.

But soon, the rebels were in front of the gate of Jiming Temple, and were intercepted by Mei Chun, the commander of Wu Xiang's left guard, who led more than 1,000 pro-army guards.

After all, Jiming Temple occupies a small area, and more than 1,000 people are not too much, and it is not too little, and if you really want to fight, the city defense army that does not carry heavy firearms may suffer a loss.

Zhao Zhilong held the Yanling knife in one hand and threatened: "Now take your people back to Xiaoling, continue to be your commander of the tomb, I can not kill you." ”

Mei Chun also pointed a knife at him, showing no weakness.

"Zhao Zhilong, you are still a lord who is in solidarity with the country!"

"The first emperor gave you the important task of guarding Nanjing, but now you collude with evil people and intend to rebel, you have simply lost the face of your ancestors of the Zhao family!"

"Unless you step over my corpse today, without Your Majesty's will, you don't want to enter the Jiming Temple!"

Wang Duo, Gao Hongtu and other Donglin courtiers stood on the side and persuaded: "Commander Mei, if you let us over, you can continue to be this commander." ”

"Isn't it the commander of Wu Xiang's left guard, just give it to you."

Gao Hongtu also said: "Yes, there are only a few people in your pro-army guards, and there are 200,000 troops under the command of Xincheng Bo. ”

Mei Chun glanced at him and was unmoved.

Zhao Zhilong sneered and raised his hand to let his subordinates release arrows.

At this moment, the vermilion gate of Jiming Temple slowly opened, and Han Zanzhou, who looked nervous, accompanied the steady Shaowu Emperor Zhu Cihong to walk out.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Mei Chun hurriedly turned around, led many pro-army guards to kneel on one knee, and shouted in unison: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and quickly bowed down and said, "See Your Majesty." ”

Wang Duo and Gao Hongtu glanced at each other, and they both reluctantly led a group of Donglin courtiers to kneel down, after all, this time it was under the banner of Qingjun's side, not to pull him down.

The slogan was shouted loudly just now, but no one expected that he would actually see the emperor.

Seeing the emperor, these city defenders also unconsciously took a few steps back and slowly put down the swords and guns in their hands.

Zhu Cihong slowly looked around at the people below, surprised by such a scene, and finally looked in one direction, and asked with a little seriousness: "Uncle Xin Cheng, what are you here for?" ”

"I heard that there is a traitor around me, you are here to Qingjun's side, but is there such a thing?"

Zhao Zhilong was generalized, and before he could react and speak, he saw Han Zanzhou hurriedly kneeling at the foot of the steps, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, Uncle Xin Cheng was bewitched by others, and he was confused for a while, and I hope to forgive Uncle Xin Cheng's sins." ”

"What the slave maid just said, Xincheng Bo is a meritorious service in this dynasty, and the ancestors have meritorious service to the country, so they should be promoted to the rank of knight and continue to lead the honors, everything is true."

Zhu Cihong looked at Zhao Zhilong, who was at a loss below, and snorted coldly: "Take a look!" Look at this traitor you said, just now he was still saying, let me be your lord! ”

"It's really chilling for me to do this!"

Zhao Zhilong looked at Han Zanzhou, who asked for a reward for himself, and then he suddenly realized what was going on, feeling that this group of Donglin Guys had used themselves as guns?

He turned his head and glared viciously at Wang Duo and Gao Hongtu, who looked confused, and then hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and ministers are confused for a while, and they are deceived by traitors."

"The minister is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the minister is loyal to Your Majesty! I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

Zhu Cihong stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, sighed heavily, and said, "How can I not know the loyalty of Uncle Xincheng? ”

"Hurry up!"

"Uncle Xin Cheng obeys orders!" Han Zan knelt on the ground, his clothes were already wet with cold sweat, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and shouted:

"Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, the decision of Shaowu, the investigation of the chaos has meritorious, now the Jin Jue is Xinchenghou, hereditary replacement, leading the city defense army, serving the country!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Zhao Zhilong was also relieved, and after standing up, he immediately ordered the city defense army to line up on both sides to defend the Son of Heaven.

Then he slowly walked in front of Wang Duo and Gao Hongtu, and asked sharply: "What crime should you be guilty of bewitching and committing chaos?" ”

"You two human-faced beast-hearted murderers, fortunately, Your Majesty has a good sense of everything, and I almost fell for your tricks!"
