"Little... Miss. The side and back doors of the Fuchu Gate were all closed. No one is allowed to go out without the master's order. Xiaoqing was a little out of breath and told Hu Yan what she saw.

Hearing that all the doors in the mansion were closed, Hu Yan had a bad feeling in her heart. If it weren't for something big, it wouldn't have been possible. Suddenly, her complexion changed slightly, and when she looked at Xiaoqing, she was faintly anxious, "I asked you to inquire about the news, what was the result?" ”

"This..."Xiao Qing shook his head, "I can't get out of the house, and I can't get any more news, but when I asked Captain Sun Chuang, he said that it seemed that there was a defeat in the front." ”

"Defeated? It seems like? Hu Yan felt in her heart, "Is this news confirmed?" As she spoke, her hands were already clenching Xiaoqing's wrists.

"Miss, you also know that with Sun Chuang's identity, what you know is really limited. Miss, let go, it hurts me. Xiaoqing's eyes were hazy with tears, and she was really scratched by Hu Yan's hands this time.

Somewhat mechanically let go, Hu Yan sat back in the chair, and said with empty eyes, "He's going to be fine, he's going to be fine..."

The same reaction as Hu Yan is that there are not a few in Beijing at this time. In particular, the families of the hundreds of officials who accompanied the army also faintly felt that something was wrong, although there was no definite news, but the atmosphere had become cold for a while.

Affected by it, the business of the Immortal Residence and the Outer Heaven also began to become bleak. In the past, seats were in short supply, but now there are at least 30% fewer customers, and there is no longer a need to queue up to consume here.

In this oppressive atmosphere, five days later, a group of people came from outside the gate of Jingshi, the leader of the team looked strange, square face, tall body, beard up to knees, good at riding horses and archery, a big knife hung next to the healthy horse, with a fierce murderous aura.

It's just that at this time, there is indeed no murderous aura in his eyes, only anxious looks. He is Shi Heng, the governor of Datong Prefecture.

Shi Heng and Xining Hou Song Ying, Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian and others fought with the Wara cavalry in Yuyang and Kou. Song and Zhu were killed, he rode back alone, recruited soldiers along the way, and brought back hundreds of horsemen.

Shi Heng is back, and he also brings back the latest news from the front. After Zhu Qiyu, the king of the prison state, learned about it, he immediately summoned the officials above the fourth rank in Beijing to the palace to discuss matters.

Above the court, Shi Heng knelt down in front of Zhu Qiyu, and told in detail what he had experienced and seen with tears in his eyes. After finishing speaking, he kept kowtowing his head to the ground, and said while kowtowing, "It's the incompetence of the ministers, the incompetence." ”

At this moment, Shi Heng is completely like a loyal and brave general, kneeling there to say that it is repentance, but it is better to say that it is a good performance.

"General Shi, please get up, this king asks you, how is the emperor? What happened to the other ministers? Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, asked with an anxious look on his face. But unbeknownst to others, a fire was burning in his chest.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty... The emperor has ascended to heaven. Shi Heng raised his head slowly, his eyes blinked hard, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't mean to cry, but the expression on his face was quite vivid, and it seemed to be very sad and painful.

"What?" Zhu Qiyu trembled when he heard this, and almost slipped off the chair under his seat, but fortunately, Jin Ying, who was standing on the side, helped him in time, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of him.

The other ministers were also shocked at this moment, and even some of them were timid and simply knelt on the ground and began to cry.

There were also some courtiers who couldn't believe Shi Heng's words at all. After all, the war report said that the Warat cavalry and infantry were only 60,000 or 70,000 horses, but the Ming Dynasty sent a full 500,000 troops, including many elite divisions, how could it be defeated, and the defeat was so complete that even the lives of the emperor and hundreds of officials were involved?

"Shi Dudu, did you see the death of the emperor and hundreds of officials with your own eyes?" Among the ministers, the official Shangshu Wang Zhi was quite calm, he really couldn't understand how it could be a fiasco if he fought more and fought less, or seven or eight times the opponent's troops.

"No, the death of the emperor and the hundred officials was not seen by the ministers with their own eyes, but because of Wang Zhen's indiscriminate command, the army did not care about each other, the generals did not know the soldiers, the soldiers did not know the generals, plus the lack of water and food, the morale was insufficient, and in the face of the elite cavalry of Wara, it was a death, flight, wounded, and chaos. At that time, the ministers did not know where the emperor and the hundred officials were, but when they fought against a small number of Warat cavalry, they learned the above news from their captives. The minister didn't dare to delay, so he led people all the way out to kill the generals. ”

Shi Heng kept beautifying himself between words, giving people the feeling that he gave up fighting the enemy in order to pass the news back. But in fact, he heard the news from some Ming deserters who could understand the words of Warat.

"Presumptuous, how can you insult my father so much!"

Just when Shi Heng's words fell, three people walked out of the crowd one after another, they were Ma Shun (Zheng Sanpin), the commander of Jinyiwei, the commander of Tongzhi Wang Shan (from Sanpin), and the commander Wang Lin (Zheng Sipin).

The two heard that Shi Heng put all the mistakes of the battle on Wang Zhen, where was they willing to follow. One of them is Wang Zhen's confidant, and the other is Wang Zhen's nephew, and they are deeply favored by him, and they will never allow anyone to speak ill of Wang Zhen.

As soon as the two jumped out, Jin Ying, who was standing next to the dragon chair, raised his eyebrows, he had waited too long at this time. It is precisely because of the existence of these people that his power has been completely hollowed out, and now he finally has a chance to take revenge and eradicate dissidents, where will he let go of such an opportunity?

Even this time, he deliberately summoned officials above the fourth grade to discuss the matter, precisely to attract these Wang Zhen's cronies to appear. Even if Yang Chendong was here, he would definitely be suspicious, and history had already deviated from this moment.

In fact, because of his appearance, many things have changed a long time ago. It is precisely because of the completion of the Outer Heaven and the Immortal Residence that the speed of making money has accelerated Wang Zhen's inflated psychology, making it difficult for him to let go of others except the emperor, which has caused Jin Ying to be more dissatisfied with him than in history.

Let's say that the three of them stood up at the same time, glaring at Shi Heng angrily, which startled him. "I... I'm telling the truth, what are you going to do? ”

"What to do? A thief like you who spreads the news indiscriminately will be punished by everyone. Someone, drag him down and cut him down. Ma Shun stared at Shi Heng with a sword-like gaze, looking like he would not give up without peeling his skin and cramping.

The voice fell, and sure enough, outside the court, six tall and strong brocade guards wearing flying fish suits walked in.

As soon as the brocade clothes appeared, the atmosphere in the court was suddenly condensed. The faces of the ministers also changed greatly, obviously they had not suffered the losses of these people in ordinary times, and they were afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, no one noticed that on the chair next to the dragon chair, Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, and Jin Yingzheng, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, had eye contact, obviously they knew that such a thing was going to happen first.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu nodded his head slightly, as if he had acquiesced to something, then Jin Ying stepped forward, and his voice suddenly increased a lot, "Come on, don't arrest the three thieves who disturbed the court, and cut off their heads to show the Fa." ”

"Huh?"

Jin Ying suddenly stood up and said that he wanted to kill three people instead of one, and for a while the monarchs and ministers were stunned, even Ma Shun's eyes flashed with surprise, they couldn't figure it out, how could Jin Ying still make a mistake in this situation?

I didn't understand it before, it was because the six men of the brocade guards didn't do it. But when the six people stepped forward next, and two by two suddenly stopped Ma Shun, Wang Shan, and Wang Lin, then they figured out what was going on.

"Jin Ying dog thief, what do you want to do? Let go of grandpa immediately, otherwise you will be in a different place. Controlled by two Jinyi guards with great strength, Ma Shun resisted several times in succession without the slightest result, which was changed to a scolding.

Jin Ying, who had been prepared for a long time, did have a cold face, and said in a tone of disdain: "Death is on the verge of death, and you are still so rampant." Come on, don't let people down and cut them down. ”

After hearing the sound, the six arranged Hercules Jinyi guards dragged Ma Shun and the three out of the court. After a while, there were three shouts outside. Needless to say, the three of Ma Shun have been beheaded.

The most loyal lackeys were killed, and the people in the group were trembling, especially the courtiers who had taken refuge in Wang Zhen before, and they were even more nervous and cold sweat. They don't know if Jin Ying, who seems to be in control of the situation, will suddenly attack them.

Killing is for the sake of prestige, but also for deterrence.

Now it seems that the effect is still good. Jin Ying sighed lightly in her heart, "Don't blame me, you forced this." As if after giving an explanation, he turned around and suddenly knelt down to Zhu Qiyu, the king of the Emperor who was sitting on the chair next to him, "His Royal Highness, now that Yingzong is in trouble, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and I also ask you to ascend the throne as the emperor, preside over the overall situation, and lead the Ming Dynasty to glory again." ”

Jin Ying knelt down, and the hall of state affairs was audible at the moment, and it was silent. Obviously, this is something that everyone did not foresee and prepare for.

But this silence was just a moment, Shi Heng suddenly slammed his head to the ground and shouted, "The minister asks King Yu to ascend the throne and establish a great unification." ”

With Shi Heng taking the lead, then the courtiers who reacted quickly knelt on the ground one by one, and begged Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Shi Heng said that Yingzong Zhu Qizhen had died on the battlefield, even if this was the case, there would always be someone important to be the emperor. Looking at it now, with the status of a prisoner, the emperor's younger brother, and the blood of the Zhu family, it is really justifiable for him to inherit the unification.
