Most of the elite garrisons in Nanjing City were called by Wu Sangui and went to Chuzhou Mansion as a guard to protect the emperor.

Therefore, to be precise, at this moment, Nanjing City is all old and weak, and there is almost no combat power.

When Qin Erbao led the army and Wang Shouxin to join forces and capture the two city gates, Lu Xiangsheng led an army to pour into the city from the city gates.

Immediately began to fight with the defenders of Nanjing in the city.

However, how can the old and weak of Nanjing City be worthy of the world's leading soldiers who have long been out of the Liaodong battlefield?

Encountering almost no decent resistance, Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Tingbi occupied the Yingtianfu Yamen and the Nanjing City garrison!

And Qin Erbao took the elite in his hands and killed all the way to the Imperial City of Nanjing.

At this time, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army guarding the Forbidden City had not yet reacted to what was happening, and was shot by Qin Erbao with an arrow.

He fell straight from the city.

"Look at all the entrances and exits of the inner palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"

In just three hours, when the sky was bright, the battle in Nanjing City was over.

Gou Ying and other newly promoted civil and military officials in Nanjing City were also escorted to the Yingtianfu Ya, strictly guarded, and waited for their fate.

Overnight, the head of Nanjing City was changed to the Great King Banner, which made many people still in a dream.

Countless gentry and nobles were trembling and panicking at the moment, fearing that after Wang Qi entered the city, he would be the first to attack them.

However, Xiong Tingbi, as a civil official, immediately issued a notice prohibiting disturbing the people and three chapters of the law to calm people's hearts.

This reassured some apprehensive nobles a little.

"It seems that Qi Guogong thinks that it is still useful for me to wait? Presumably not all of them will be killed, right? ”

"The old man thinks that if he Wang Qi wants to sit firmly in the country, he must unite the gentry and the eunuch group such as us, otherwise he alone and with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, can he sit firmly in the country? After all, the power of this thing is mysterious and mysterious, who knows what it will be like in a few years? ”

"We will sit firmly in Diaoyutai, as long as Wang Qi enters Nanjing, we will bow down to the ministers, be obedient, and offer some family wealth and money, then there is still room for redemption! It's not like I'm going to die. ”

"Yes, yes, Wang Qi Wufu, have you seen the flowers and greenery of Nanjing City, Qinhuai Pinjin Grotto? When he arrives, he will be able to see what his ambitions are! ”

In the city of Nanjing, countless gentry and wealthy families were cautious, clamping their tails, waiting for Wang Qi to enter the city of Nanjing.

In their minds, the emperor may have died long ago.

To take it a step further, whether the Ming Dynasty is present or not has little to do with their wealth and nobility, the key is that there are huge resources in their hands, and the resources that Wang Qi can't refuse are the reliance of this group of people.

"Let's wait for Wang Qi to enter Nanjing!"

Chuzhou Mansion.

Zhu Youzhen didn't sleep well last night.

Nightmares haunted me, waking up many times in a groggy state.

Every time, I dreamed that I fell from the high throne, and there was an endless abyss under me, and then there was a flame in the sky, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were lost like quicksand between my fingers, and then I was in a trance, which was Wang Qi's extremely indifferent face, and under his feet, what he stepped on was the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family!

"Don't !!!"

Zhu Youzhen woke up from the bed, panting heavily, sweat condensed on every strand of hair.

Zhu Youzhen felt that he was a little reckless when he went out of Nanjing City at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I'm having a nightmare again," Wang Chengen came in from the outer side hall and took a few palace maids to serve the emperor to wash.

"When," Standing on the ground, closing his eyes slightly, Zhu Youzhen opened his arms and placed them with the palace maids.

"It's the end of the hour," Wang Chengen replied cautiously: "Lord Zuo, they are already waiting in the outer courtyard, and before seeing Wang Qi, I have to discuss it with all of you." ”

As soon as he heard the word Wang Qi, Zhu Youzhen suddenly trembled, and then remembered that last night's dream was terrifying and chilling.

After a while, Zhu Youzhen finished washing up and walked out of the door, and at the same time ordered: "Let Zuo Aiqing and a few people accompany me to eat together." ”

"By the way," Zhu Youzhen seemed to think of something: "Trying to find a way to send people out of the city to explore the situation in Nanjing City, I always feel a little uneasy." ”

"The slave understands." Wang Chengen nodded: "I'll send someone out in a while." ”

Less, temporary palace side hall.

The three princes were all there, and Zhu Youzhen sat in the top position.

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, Your Majesty is going to meet Wang Qi in person," Yang Lian has been hitting a wall in front of Wang Qi every day in the past few days, and now he is a little numb: "The minister thinks that the situation is stronger than people now, Wang Qi has a heavy army, and his name is famous all over the world, no matter what, when I wait for the negotiation, the bottom line is to protect Nanjing City, protect Your Majesty, in order to plan for the future." ”

This is the countermeasure that Yang Lian and others discussed last night, no matter what, Nanjing City and Zhu Youzhen must be protected.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will really collapse in the middle way.

"What if he wants the city of Nanjing?" Zhu Youzhen supported his head with his hands, looking tired: "Everyone, Aiqing, do you have a countermeasure?" ”

"I still have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing City, and Yuan Keli still has more than 10,000 elites there," Yang Lian replied: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry so much!" ”

"In any case, in order to maintain the stability of the surface, he Wang Qi will never dare to kill the king," Gao Panlong said at the right time: "We can use his mind to deal with him, as long as the bottom line is maintained, when the time comes, other conditions can be discussed!" It's all negotiable! ”

Yang Lian originally wanted to fight Wang Qi to the death.

As long as he saw Wang Qi, Yang Lian planned to die in front of Wang Qi and let him be infamous forever.

But Yang Lian has also figured it out in the past few days.

Rather than die, it is better to live well and continue to fight with Wang Qi.

Yang Lian believes that evil does not prevail over good, and one day, the world will be re-clarified!!

"Nanjing City" Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes with difficulty, and his gaze swept to the last person: "Zuo Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Old minister, I'm a little worried about Nanjing City." Gao Panlong had always had a bad feeling when Chongzhen arrived in Chuzhou Mansion yesterday.

As soon as Chongzhen leaves, isn't Nanjing City an empty city?

Thinking of this, Gao Panlong panicked for a while.

"Worried about what? Nanjing City has its own Gou Ying and Yuan Keli guarding it," Yang Lian flicked his sleeves and directly interrupted Zuo Guangdou's words: "Zuo Yizhi, now, now, when I am about to go to see Wang Qi, there is no need to say any more frustrating words, our bottom line and plan have been set, don't disturb the morale of the army at this time!" ”

"Your Majesty, if the city of Nanjing falls, the old man thinks that he will fight on the spot and kill Wang Qi! then the Jedi survived!! Zuo Guangdou ignored Yang Lian's irritability, and just looked at Zhu Youzhen: "This is our only chance!" ”

"This is Wang Qi!" Zhu Youzhen subconsciously felt that this matter could not be successful.

"Weichen will contact Wu Sangui, and at that time, the sword and soldiers will face each other, even if Wang Qi uses soldiers like a god, and is wise and close to a demon, he will not be able to resist this knife!" Zuo Guangdou's expression was full of death.

————

Wang Qi chose the meeting place in the former prefect's yamen of Chuzhou Prefecture.

The front hall is solemn and the courtyard is wide.

It's a good place to talk.

At noon, the prefect's yamen.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Wang Chengen wiped his sleeve on the chair, helped Zhu Youzhen to sit down, and then respectfully wiped the water, back and forth, busy and busy.

Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, and Gao Panlong joined forces, sitting behind the emperor respectively, while Wu Sangui led the guards to support them on the side.

At this moment, Wang Qi has not yet arrived at the opposite table and chair position.

In Chuzhou Mansion in November, the weather has also cooled.

Zhu Youzhen had already finished drinking a cup of tea, looking at the still empty position on the opposite side, and his already bad mood became more and more heavy.

"Wang Qi, what do you mean by this? Will the emperor be hung here, and get off the horse? Zuo Guangdou got up and said to the guards on the side: "With such a bearing, how can people be respected?" ”

"My lord, the time has not yet come," the guard obviously didn't want to pay attention to Zuo Guangdou, and said with a smile: "Besides, when Grandpa Guo will arrive, it's not something we can answer at will." ”

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Guangdou frowned slightly, and leaned back, obviously about to have a seizure.

"Chief Arrives !!"

Suddenly, a roll call came from outside the courtyard.

Everyone in the hall turned their heads to look.

Dressed in a round-necked brocade robe, Wang Qi only brought three guards by his side and stepped over.

Zuo Guangdou, who was standing by the threshold, saw a secret letter in Wang Qi's hand. His brows furrowed slightly: Is something really wrong?

"Let you wait for a long time," after Wang Qi arrived, he didn't greet Zhu Youzhen too much, let alone greet Zhu Youzhen, but directly bypassed the table and sat in his place.

"Today's meeting, when I knew that someone in Nanjing City had ascended the throne, I had already begun to arrange it," Wang Qi leaned back on the chair and looked at the few people sitting in the middle of the seat, especially Zhu Youzhen in the middle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and deep eyes: "So, Chongzhen, we meet again." ”

Groov!

In an instant, Chongzhen's mind was filled with the mansion of the Huzhou Domain, and Wang Qi's warning to himself at that time - as long as you are obedient, you can be the emperor!

"You promised me!" Subconsciously, Zhu Youzhen blurted out, almost word for word: "As the chief consul, you can't be untrustworthy!" ”

"I have done what I promised you," Wang Qi spread his hands: "Now, it's time for me to collect the return!" ”

The few people sitting behind Zhu Youzhen, whether it was Zuo Guangdou or Yang Lian, didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle Wang Qi and the emperor were playing?

How could the emperor never mention this matter in front of him?

"I" Zhu Youzhen subconsciously opened his mouth to say that he was me, but after seeing Wang Qi's cold eyes, he immediately changed his words: "Qi Guogong, you can't help but think about the world's scholars and hundreds of millions of people!" If it is a war, it will be a misery! ”

"I invite you Chongzhen over today, there is only one question," Wang Qi shook his head and interrupted Zhu Youzhen's words: "Follow me to Nanjing City, announce your abdication, change the Ming Dynasty to Huaxia Kingdom, and there will be no emperor in the world from now on!" You just have to answer, agree or disagree! The rest of the words need not be said again! ”

"We are not cornered yet, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Nanjing City, and the hearts of the people in the world are in the Zhu family, what do you Wang Qi have to be proud of! If the fish really dies and the net is broken, it is unknown who will kill the deer! Yang Lian slapped the table, the king humiliated the ministers to death, he couldn't stand Wang Qi's fluttering posture.

It's as if the emperor is an object that can be discarded at any time in his eyes!

What's even more hateful is that he can obviously be the emperor, but he seems to have abandoned it and didn't even look at it!

This made Yang Wenru, who had read the books of the father and son of the monarch and minister, extremely annoyed - it seems that all the articles and classics in this life, in Wang Qi's place, are all things that can be thrown into the toilet!

"Chongzhen, I don't have a lot of patience," Wang Qi ignored Yang Lian's dog bark, and tapped the table with his finger to remind Zhu Youzhen.

"What if I don't agree?" Zhu Youzhen tried to straighten up and face Wang Qi.

"I originally wanted to give you a chance," Wang Qi shook his head and sighed: "In this way, I can also explain to Emperor Taizu." ”

"What are you talking about?" A bad feeling rose in Zhu Youzhen's heart.

"Nanjing City," Wang Qi picked up the envelope between his fingers: "At three o'clock today, when you are asleep, it has already fallen."

"Kill Wang Qi !!" When Zuo Guangdou heard the three words of Nanjing City, he got up directly, pointed at Wang Qi and roared: "Wu Sangui, take this opportunity to kill Wang Qi!! ”

This is the only chance!

The moment Zuo Guangdou saw Wang Qi enter the hall, the letter clamped on his finger made the veteran of the Three Dynasties, the backbone of Donglin, desperate.

The city of Nanjing, as if it really fell.

But Zuo Guangdou will not admit defeat easily.

When Shi Kefa died, Zuo Guangdou was calm;

When he heard that Zhu Youzhen was trying to win over everyone to ascend the throne, Zuo Guangdou was calm;

When he was detained in Chuzhou Mansion, Zuo Guangdou was calm;

But now, in front of the last chance to be able to go out of Wang Qi, Zuo Guangdou couldn't bear it anymore.

Since the city of Nanjing has fallen, it means that the Ming Dynasty is not far away.

Zuo Guangdou was angry,

Then let Wang Qi accompany the burial of the Ming Dynasty!

Poof!

Wu Sangui had already pulled out the long sword on his waist, and after getting up, all the soldiers also drew their swords.

At the same time, dozens of guards behind Wang Qi stepped forward and protected Wang Qi in the middle.

For a while, the hall was already tense.

"Yes, yes," Zhu Youzhen had also stood up from his chair at this time, almost crazy, his hair was scattered, and he pointed at Wang Qi and shouted: "Whoever kills Wang Qi will be named a king with a different surname!" King with a different surname!! ”

And Yang Lian and Gao Panlong subconsciously got up and protected Zhu Youzhen's side to prevent Wang Qi from hurting people.

At the last second of the two sides' hands,

Wang Qi finally spoke: "Stand down!" ”

Wang Qi gave an order, causing both knife bearers on both sides to stop moving.

Under Wang Qi's rule, all orders were forbidden.

And its prestige is also quite high among the soldiers of Nanjing.

After all, when the first person in the military today, who doesn't know?

"What are you doing in a daze, Wu Sangui, kill him! Kill him! Zuo Guangdou pointed his finger and knife and pointed at Wu Sangui on the side: "How can you not avenge the revenge of killing your father?" ”

Of course, Wu Sangui hated Wang Qi very much.

But the current situation made Wu Sangui also a little hesitant.

If Nanjing City really falls, is it still necessary for him to serve Zhu Youzhen?

Wu Sangui has always been known for being extremely calm and rational, judging from the actions of Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan in later generations, his father or lover is far less important than his personal future in his heart.

When the two sides were at a stalemate in the field, Wang Qi swept his eyes, spoke again, and pointed at Wu Sangui with his hand: "Wu Sangui, you slashed Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, and Gao Panlong with a backhand!" Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, I can give you a term! (End of chapter)
