"Okay, then let's go to the palace and have a look." Wang Zhixin saw this as an opportunity. If Chongzhen is still in the palace now, then this is definitely a good time to take him down.

Wang Zhixin agreed, and Wu Mengming and Luo Yangxing immediately went to contact their subordinates. But in fact, the two of them are now having a bit of a headache.

Without it, there are less than a thousand Jinyi guards they can really contact.

It was said that it was two thousand, because at that time, Da Ming was about to die, and many brocade guards also took off their flying fish suits and pretended to be ordinary people in the market.

Originally, Wu Mengming thought that as long as he raised his arms and waved, these Jinyi guards who were watching would definitely be used by them, and then work together to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and go to the Dashun Dynasty to continue to work on errands. But the plan was good, but it was because Zhu Changwu suddenly changed the system and treatment of Jinyiwei, which disrupted their plan.

After learning about the various treatments that Jinyiwei could enjoy under the leadership of the new commander, some Jinyiwei who were originally going to join the Dashun Army became ambiguous again.

They left Jinyiwei before because they thought that Daming was not saved, and Jinyiwei was not saved. For the sake of those three melons and two dates, it is not worth it to work for Daming, and there is no hope at all.

But now, it seems, things are improving.

At this time, smart people don't make a choice right away, they still want to take a look, they are waiting.

Now, these hidden Jinyi guards know about the Ming army going out of the city to parade, but they don't know that these Ming troops have disappeared, so they can't talk about any despair.

If you don't despair, you can't make a decision.

In this way, it became impossible for Wu Mengming and Luo Yangxing to gather two thousand brocade guards.

There are not so many people who can't recruit so much, so they can only gather the 1,000 or so brocade guards they found before, and go straight to the palace.

At this time, the palace, on the surface, was no different from usual, but there were fewer forbidden troops standing at the palace gate and responsible for guarding.

When Li You and five hundred old battalion soldiers, Wang Zhixin and others also rushed here with thousands of brocade guards, the distance was still far away, and these brocade guards found them, and then these twenty people made a move that surprised everyone, that is, they turned around and ran.

Even the palace gate was not closed, so he turned around and fled.

This scene fell in the eyes of Li You and others, which made them look stunned at first, and then they thought of something when they were smart.

"The defense in the palace must be very weak, hurry, let's rush in." Li You was the first to shout, followed by five hundred old battalion soldiers who rushed towards the palace with him.

Wang Zhixin and the others were also stunned, and followed the soldiers of the old battalion towards the palace. It's just that in the process of entering, Wang Zhixin and Yang Guanguan sighed involuntarily, in their minds, the palace must be weak at this time, but because of this, I am afraid that Chongzhen has already escaped.

Thinking that Chongzhen would really escape, Wang Zhixin regretted it very much, before he just ordered people to stare at Luan's drive, and he didn't think at all that if Chongzhen wanted to escape, then he could completely change into clothes and leave on two legs.

And if Chongzhen really escaped, I am afraid that Li Zicheng would be there, and he would not be able to explain. When he thought about it, he was in a very bad mood.

Li You and the others rushed into the palace, and as soon as they entered, a group of people inside walked over to them. Before anyone arrived, the voice sounded, "Is it the prince who came?" I'm Tang Tong from Dongchang. ”

originally thought that these little eunuchs would be the people left behind by Chongzhen, Li You was about to rush up and kill them, and by the way, he was asking about the situation, but he didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be his own people.

Wang Zhixin, who was following behind, naturally heard this shout, and then trotted forward, and said with an embarrassed look on his face when he saw Li You, "General Li, it's your own people, your own people." This Tang Tong was arranged by our family to keep an eye on Chongzhen Lao'er in the palace. ”

"Oh, then ask him what's going on here." Li You's eyes lit up after hearing this, it would be best to have his own people here, but he could save a lot of effort.

Wang Zhixin hurriedly replied yes, then beckoned forward, and then saw Tang Tong trotting over.

Tang Tong was originally the foreman of the East Factory, and he won the trust of Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin, but later Wang Dehua was suddenly arrested by Zhu Changwu, and Tang Tong, who was not there, immediately went out of the palace to hide after getting the news.

Wang Zhixin, who had also fled, then found him, arranged an errand for him, and asked him to come to the palace gate to keep an eye on.

How to say that this person was also a middle-level of the East Factory, and he is still very familiar with the palace, with him, presumably if Chongzhen has any movements, he can know the news one step earlier.

Wang Zhixin thought so before, but now after seeing Tang Tong, after thinking that Li You said that Chongzhen would not necessarily be Luan Driver when he left the palace, he had no confidence in his heart, and even spoke in a stern tone, "Tang Tong, can you see Chongzhen Lao'er leaving the palace?" ”

"Nope." Tang Tong stood and shook his head.

"Is it because Luan Jia didn't leave the palace?" Wang Zhixin asked again.

"Yes, Luan Jia did not leave the palace." Tang Tong, who didn't know why, nodded again.

"Waste, who said that the emperor must be Luan when he leaves the palace, won't he go out by himself?" Seeing that he seemed to have guessed correctly, the angry Wang Zhixin raised his hand and slapped it down.

Syllable!

The extremely loud slap sounded, and Tang Tong was stunned at the moment, he really didn't know what he had done wrong, why did the prince beat himself as soon as he met?

"Princess, what mistake did the little one make, can you tell me one clearly." Stretching out his hand to cover his face, Tang Tong asked with a very aggrieved look.

"Okay, let's make it clear to you, has Chongzhen escaped from the palace?" The heart of the enraged king roared loudly.

Staring at Chongzhen's such an important task, there was a problem in his own hands, if he wanted to get the forgiveness of King Dashun, he had to find a backstabber, and Tang Hui in front of him was undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Huh? But Chongzhen is still in the palace. Tang Tong was stunned by the question, first stunned for a moment, and then said an answer that no one could imagine.

"You..." Seeing that Tang Tong still wanted to quibble, Wang Zhixin's right hand was raised high again, but then stopped in mid-air, "You... What did you just say, Chongzhen is still in the palace? ”

"That's right, Chongzhen is inside, the little one saw it just now, and the little one also found that the eunuchs and forbidden soldiers in the palace are gone, so I want to report it to my father-in-law, but..."

But what it was, Tang Tong didn't say. But everyone knew that he wanted to repay him, but without saying a word, he was slapped first.

Wang Zhixin didn't think about it so much, as a Shangguan, he wouldn't apologize to his subordinates, besides, his attention now is on the sentence that Chongzhen is in the palace. "You said that Chongzhen is in the palace, but is it true?"

"Princess, of course it's true, if you don't believe it, the little one will show you the way." Tang Tong nodded again and again, as if he was afraid that if he slowed down a little, Wang Zhixin's slap would fall on his face again.

"Alright, you lead the way." Wang Zhixin was also confused. According to what Li You said, the Ming troops in the city all disappeared after leaving the city, so it is said that as the emperor, Chongzhen should also leave with them.

But now, Chongzhen is still in the palace, what is going on?

Could it be that the information that Li You found out was wrong?

Li You, who was standing on the side, obviously thought of this, so he hurriedly looked at the soldiers of the old battalion who had been sent to listen to the intelligence and come back to report to him.

"General, I really see it, the Ming army is really not outside the city, if you don't believe it, ask Li Wu, he went with me."

"Yes, General, it is true that the Ming army did not appear outside the city." The person named Li Wu also hurriedly stood up to testify.

"Okay, General Li don't be angry yet, what the hell is going on, let's go out and see." Yang Guanguan stood up at this time, he was actually a little incomprehensible, but what he knew was that whoever told a lie only needed to enter the palace and take a look.

"Yes, let's go into the palace and see." Li You also thought about it for a while, and nodded immediately. followed by Tang Tong and the team, a group of more than 1,000 people went straight to the depths of the palace.

As Tang Tong said, on the way here, there was not even a single figure to be seen.

No eunuchs, forbidden soldiers, including palace maids, can see one.

The whole palace is like a dead city, and there is no vitality at all. If you walk here alone, it's normal to be scared out of your mind.

The palace is very large, and if it is the first time you enter here, you may be confused. But with Tang Tong, a familiar person, leading the way in front, there is no such thing as getting lost. I saw him turn around, and after walking with everyone for a while, he finally came to the Lingxing Gate, and then saw him pointing forward and said: "The front is the Yuhe Bridge, and after there is the Chengguang Palace, Chongzhen appeared here just now." ”

"Let's go!"

Li You didn't say a word after hearing this, so he walked forward, and the group of people quickly boarded the Yuhe Bridge (Jinhai Bridge), but only halfway through, the Chengguang Hall in front of them had already appeared in front of them, including a lot of people standing in front of the hall, all of them fell into view at this time.

In front of the Chengguang Palace, one hundred and ten forbidden soldiers, about a thousand brocade guards, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids all stood here. And in the middle of them, a man in a golden dragon robe was sitting on a chair, looking at them for a long time.
