On the third day of the second month of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse traveled, and the Beijing Division was under martial law.

Xiyuan Jinghu, 30 miles in length and width, the lake is rippling, the waves are endless, the water potential is gentle, there are pavilions and pavilions on both sides, there are green trees and green willows, the spring breeze blows, the willows are still in place.

It is rare for the capital to be clear, the clouds are cracked, and a round of golden warm sun hangs high in the sky.

This time, the masters of Jinyiwei and Dongchang blocked the water on both sides of Jinghu Lake.

Zhang Zheng and Sun Yunhe personally led people, which was arranged by Wei Zhongxian.

Jinyiwei is responsible for the periphery, and the east factory is responsible for the inside.

......

Zhang Zheng was wearing a flying fish suit and carrying a long knife, leaning on the trunk of a tree on the north bank.

Standing beside him were Shen Lian and other henchmen, about five or six people, each of whom was an absolute master.

"Did Hokusai send it to Fuzhou?" he asked Shen Lian, Shen Lian nodded, yesterday he sent someone to send Hokusai away, according to the time, he can arrive in Fuzhou in less than half a month.

"Are you ready?" asked Zhang Zheng towards the rest of the group.

A month before, he asked his henchmen to secretly transfer their families out of the capital.

Although they were puzzled, they still did it, and now these people are single in the capital, and they have nothing to worry about.

"Okay, Qinglong and the five of them are ready, as soon as you get my order, immediately rush to Qingfeng Town, thirty miles outside the city, where someone will pick you up. ”

......

After the arrangement, Zhang Zheng continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and the apocalypse would not come out of the palace until noon, and he would have to wait for about two hours.

......

A huge wooden boat docked on the pier, the height of the ship is nine zhang, the length is eighteen zhang, the width is nine zhang, like a palace floating on the lake, the eaves are towering, the carved railings are made of jade, the top is paved with glazed tiles, the hull is supported by five huge columns, and the white brocade silk is hung all around, fluttering in the wind.

This is a big ship built by the Ministry of Industry for half a year, which is extremely luxurious, and it costs 300,000 taels of silver.

The big ship is guarded by the forbidden army, not belonging to the Jinyi Guard and the Dongchang Tube, every three steps, there is a strong armor soldier with a steel knife at the waist, they are all drawn back from the border army, they have been on the battlefield, have killed people, and have their own power.

......

The sun rises higher and higher, and finally reaches the top of the lake, where the sun shines directly on the surface of the lake, reflecting a dazzling golden light.

......

The sun is in the sky

It's noon

......

"Boom", the sound of huge war drums sounded, the vermilion purple palace gate suddenly opened, and the forbidden army took the lead, standing on both sides of the road.

Zhang Zheng came to the spirit, opened his eyes, and saw three yellow war horses marching in unison, pulling a dragon chair, flanked by pan dragons with teeth and claws, and the dragon's head was raised.

Sitting on the dragon chair was the Emperor of the Apocalypse, wearing a wide dragon robe, with a thin body, a pale complexion, and a listless look.

Where there is half the majesty of the emperor, like a walking corpse, similar to his brother.

Zhang Zheng let out a sigh in his mouth, Da Ming did not die in the hands of Chongzhen, but died in the Emperor of the Apocalypse and his family of three.

he

His brother

His father

None of them are Mingjun, and they are far from the mind and ability of Taizu Chengzu. If Zhang Juzheng had not been in charge of the government for 20 years, where would there be Wanli Zhongxing, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have died in the hands of Nurhachi.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Ju is the last pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the current Xiong Tingbi and the future Yuan Chonghuan, they are just of great use.

Retracting the thoughts that were churning in his mind, he turned his attention back to Apocalypse.

Wei Zhongxian followed closely behind, and then the civil and military officials of the court.

There is no king in this, at this time, Zhu Youzhen is just an idle prince on the surface, and he is not qualified to get on the ship.

......

The dragon chair of the Apocalypse stopped on the dock, and with Wei Zhongxian's support, the carpenter emperor finally staggered onto the big ship, and the six Shangshu followed the boat, as for the others, they could only wait on the shore.

......

"Boom", the huge iron anchor was put away, and the gorgeous big ship drove smoothly on the lake.

"Alert," Zhang Zheng shouted, and the brocade guards on both sides of the strait immediately formed a battle formation.

"Second brother, Wei Zhongxian doesn't take our Jinyi Wei too seriously, why don't you let you get on the boat. Shen Lian on the side said angrily.

"You think I care?" he asked rhetorically, and Shen Lian shook his head.

"That's it, show me a good look, if someone breaks in, I'll send you to Dongchang." ”

Shen Lian left with a depressed face.

Of course he doesn't care, it's just a bunch of dying people.

......

The speed of the big ship was very slow, and it took more than half an hour to reach the center of the lake, and the emperor of the apocalypse actually came out of the cabin and came to the side of the ship.

"This is the time. Zhang Zheng frowned, his palm tightly grasped the handle of the knife, and his muscles swelled.

......

With a loud bang, four thick columns of water suddenly rose on the surface of the lake, and then a huge force that was difficult to resist acted on the bottom of the boat, and the flames splashed everywhere.

It's gunpowder

Someone blew through the bottom of the ship with gunpowder.

Even the keel of the big ship was blown off, and the hull began to break.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian were immediately blown away by the huge force, and the remaining guards on the ship hurriedly jumped down.

"There are assassins. ”

"Quickly, the emperor has fallen into the water. ”

"Hurry up and save the emperor. ”

"Save 9,000 years old. ”

Not only was there chaos on the boat, but also on the shore, everyone panicked, people kept screaming, and the Jinyiwei on the shore and the masters of the East Factory all jumped into the lake to save people.

......

"Quick, if there is an accident at the nine-thousand-year-old, why do you want the heads of your group of dog minions. ”

No one thought that the first minions under Wei Zhongxian to save were actually nine thousand years old instead of the emperor, and those ministers of the court and the central government looked at each other angrily, and they were even more bold, and they scolded directly, and the little eunuch who was scared was fart.

......

"Who's that?"

One exclaimed, it turned out that a person had already come under the big ship.

"It's the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”

At the first moment of the explosion, Zhang Zheng rushed out, picked up the Wudang Tiyun Vertical, ran out and fell into the water.

"Boom", the water splashed, he plunged into the water, and after a few breaths, he held the Emperor of the Apocalypse in his left hand and Wei Zhongxian in his right hand, jumped up from the water, and landed steadily on the wreckage of the big ship.

"Someone, pass on the imperial doctor. ”

......

A group of people hurriedly carried the emperor and Wei Zhongxian ashore.

Glancing at Zhu Youjiao, who had been in a coma, he sneered in his heart, first fell into the water, and then his heart was affected by a trace of his strength, and it was difficult not to die.

......

"Lord Qiyu, the assassin has been caught. A brocade guard ran over and said loudly.

When Zhang Zheng heard this, he immediately followed, and in the distance, a large group of brocade guards surrounded a man in black in the middle.

"My lord, he is Houjin's spy. Shen Lian said in a low voice, and then handed over a golden token and said, "This is what fell from him." ”

......

"Bang dang", a flash of knife light, and then a head flew up, blood gushing like a spring.

"Bring his body back to Jinyiwei. Zhang Zheng said coldly.

......

The Houjin assassinated His Majesty

This is the case submitted by Jin Yiwei to the Criminal Department, and no one doubts it, because the evidence is conclusive.

A total of four Assassins were caught

One was killed

Two committed suicide

The last trick was sent by Nurhachi.

So, the case was decided.

Wei Zhongxian was unconscious, the apocalypse was also muddy, and the imperial doctor was helpless.

Three days later, Apocalypse suddenly came to his senses and summoned Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.

Seven days later, Apocalypse died, and before his death, he passed the throne to King Shin in front of the ministers of the imperial court.

In March of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youjiao ascended the throne and became emperor, and changed his name to Chongzhen.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zhongxian was killed, the Wei Party was destroyed, and just when Chongzhen wanted to continue to arrest Zhang Zheng, the building was already empty, and most of the masters of Jinyiwei were taken away and disappeared without a trace, and even since then, these people have not appeared in Daming.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen only got a letter, a letter written by Zhang Zheng.
