Chapter 180: The Dead Die, the Fleeing Flee
In the harem, the Empress Dowager of the Lu family knelt in the temple, crying with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, Lian Zining ran outside the Taimiao.
"The queen mother, what the queen mother gave the minister to do, the minister has finished it, and now the emperor has escaped along the secret passage behind the imperial study!"
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Lu stood up, came to look at Lian Zining, and then knelt heavily towards Lian Zining and kowtowed to the ground.
Seeing this, Lian Zining also hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt down, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise his head.
"Thank you for your help! Now that the emperor has escaped and ascended to heaven, I am at ease! ”
Lian Zining raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother.
"Why didn't the Queen Mother flee from this Yingtian City with Her Majesty! If the Queen Mother is willing, she can definitely escape along the secret passage with the emperor! ”
The Queen Mother shook her head when she heard this: "I'm a woman, if I follow a group of men behind them, wouldn't it make people suspicious, since the emperor has already escaped, it's good!" ”
"What I can do as a mother is to stay in the palace and cut off the chasing soldiers for him, I want to make Zhu Di believe that the mourning family and the emperor are dead, and the mourning family and the emperor died by self-immolation!"
The Queen Mother said loudly: "Bring people up!" ”
Then I saw two palace maids pull out a man who looked very similar to Jianwen, and the man was tied with a rope and his mouth was stuffed with a cloth.
"What is this?"
The queen mother said: "This is a little eunuch in the palace, which was discovered by the mourning family accidentally, and the mourning family felt that he was a little similar to the emperor, and asked someone to draw some rouge on his body, changing his physiognomy, which looked even more like the emperor." ”
"From today onwards, it will be written in the history books that Emperor Jianwen and the Empress Dowager of the Lu family were humiliated and died of self-immolation when they were attacked by Yingtian.
The Queen Mother lowered her head when she said this, and looked at Lian Zining with lowered eyes.
"Master Lian, you are my father's student, the emperor and I have always respected you, and I hope you can't hear what the mourning family said to you today."
After Lian Zining listened, he took out a dagger from his arms, pulled it out, and flashed a cold light.
"Please rest assured, the minister knows that after Yan rebelled through Xuzhou, the minister has already put the dagger on his body, and the minister is for today, if the imperial city is broken, it will be the day when the minister commits suicide!"
After Lian Zining finished speaking, he pulled out the dagger, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and then he stabbed the dagger into his heart and died on the spot.
The Queen Mother watched Lian Zining die in front of her, and only sighed in her heart that Lian Zining was a minister, although he had less ability, he was still a loyal person in the end.
The Queen Mother listened to the sound outside gradually approaching the palace, so she breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the two palace maids.
"Put him in front of the mourning family, carry Master Lian's body out, and then you can go!"
The two palace maids didn't dare to talk, so they pushed the little eunuch down in front of the queen mother and withdrew.
The Queen Mother lowered her head and looked at the little eunuch, and after drawing the rouge, she was exactly the same as her son, and he stroked the little eunuch's face in the future, and said with tears in his eyes.
"Son, mother!"
The Queen Mother cried and picked up the oil and wine that had been prepared on the side and poured it on herself, and then splashed it on the little eunuch's body, and then ripped off a few pieces of cloth, lit the cloth, and threw it on the little eunuch's body, and she also lay peacefully next to the little eunuch who was constantly struggling and wailing in pain, hugging the little eunuch's body tightly, even if the rope was burned, the little eunuch couldn't break free.
……
Zhu Di and Zhu Song rode horses to the outside of the noon gate, and at this moment the noon gate had been opened, and Wang Jinghong was taking the eunuchs who opened the door, kneeling on both sides of the palace gate.
At this moment, Zhang Fu pressed a general who was unwilling to give up resistance in the imperial court, and the general was none other than Zhu Di's brother-in-law, Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei.
Zhu Di looked at Xu Huizu, only to feel that Xu Huizu was a foolish and loyal person, this Jianwen was the emperor as the same, and his brother-in-law still bothered Baal to work for Jianwen, which was really foolish and loyal.
"Escort the Duke of Wei back to the Duke of Wei's mansion, and you can't slack off in taking care of it!"
Zhu Di ordered to bring Wei Guogong back to the Wei Guogong Mansion, and then rode into the palace gate, Zhu Song followed Zhu Di and looked at the palace that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and his heart was mixed.
The Yan army quickly controlled all the civil and military officials.
Zhang Yu was the first to enter the palace, and he entered the palace with an important mission, that is, to find Emperor Jianwen and then kill Emperor Jianwen.
It's a pity that Zhang Yu turned the entire palace upside down, and the harem was gone, but there was still no trace of Emperor Jianwen.
Zhang Yu looked at Zhu Di and shook his head gently.
Zhu Di frowned, if this Jianwen doesn't die for a day, he won't be at peace for a day.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di's face became a little gloomy, and at this moment, someone came to report.
"Your Highness, the temple in the palace is on fire! There is also a corpse lying outside the temple, according to the officials who have surrendered to us in the DPRK, it is Lian Zining, the servant of the Ministry of Officials! ”
After Zhu Di heard this, he said suspiciously.
"Taimiao is on fire? Who of you is so bold as to dare to burn down the temple of the palace! ”
The soldier who came to report the news changed his face when he heard this, and then quickly explained: "Your Highness is not, it's not us!" Even if you give us a hundred guts, we won't dare to set fire to the Taimiao! ”
"We arrested two palace maids, and those two palace maids said that the queen mother and the emperor died in the temple by self-immolation, and now they have sent someone to put out the fire, please rest assured!"
As soon as Zhu Di heard that he had died of self-immolation, he was sure that he could sit firmly and sit firmly on the throne after he died, but on the surface, he still pretended to be grief-stricken, beating his chest and wailing in pain.
"Your Majesty! Yun Wei! O nephew! Why are you so impulsive? The fourth uncle raised troops, and that was the king of Qin, who was here to help you protect you, nephew! ”
"Quick! Hurry up and put out the fire, you must save the body of the emperor and the queen mother! ”
The soldiers all ordered to hurry down to put out the fire and enter the fire to save the body, Zhu Di cried heartbreakingly, and even fainted for a while.
Zhu Song saw Zhu Di crying and fainted. I can't help but admire in my heart, look at what is called thick-skinned, this is called thick-skinned, obviously rebellion is rebellion, it is rushing to the throne, people still say that the high-sounding and crying true feelings, if this is passed out, it must be a good story.
However, Zhu Song, as one of the masterminds of the Battle of Jingjing, naturally cannot be bad in this regard, Zhu Di cried, he also cried, but he cried not so violently, when he saw Zhu Di pretending to be dizzy and falling off the horse, he quickly shouted.
"Quick! Hurry up and help King Yan up and find a nearby room for treatment! ”
