After listening to Fang Zhenghua's complaints, Liu Zeqing also sighed for a while, and pretended to cry with Fang Zhenghua, and then remembered to ask Prince Fang Zhenghua and the two princes where they were.

Fang Zhenghua wiped his tears and sighed, and then replied, "Alas! Before I came here just now, Fang didn't know how Liu Junmen would treat me! So Fang kept an eye on it, left the prince and the two little princes in the broken temple outside the city, and came to see the military gate first when he entered the city, and now the prince and the two little princes are still hungry in the broken temple outside the city! The military gate should send someone with me to take them into the city!" ”

Liu Zeqing nodded again and again, and immediately ordered the family in person, escorted Fang Zhenghua out of Dengzhou City, and saw Zhu Cihong and other three princes in a ruined temple in the west of the city.

Looking at these three princes at this time, even Liu Zeqing feels that his nose is a little sour, these three high-ranking princes, where is there still a little prince at this time! The whole has become three little Hanako, all of them are hungry and yellow-skinned, and their eyes are big and godless.

When they saw Fang Zhenghua come back, the three princes immediately cried and threw themselves into Fang Zhenghua's arms, Fang Zhenghua quickly asked people to put the prepared food box in front of them, and the three princes immediately fought for me and ate it, if it weren't for Fang Zhenghua for fear of breaking them, the three princes might even dare to swallow the food box!

Liu Zeqing stepped forward to meet the crown prince Zhu Cihong as a courtesy, and now Chongzhen is dead, this Zhu Cihong can be said to have become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Cihong at this time is too miserable, dressed up and dressed up to be called Huazi, thinking that before his ancestor Zhu Chongba became the emperor, he was also called Huazi, and now his great-grandson has also ended up like this, which is probably an alternative return to the basics!

After Liu Zeqing asked the three princes to change new clothes, he brought the three princes into Dengzhou City, set up a courtyard, and temporarily placed Fang Zhenghua and the three princes in Dengzhou City.

It was only at this time that Fang Zhenghua and the three princes breathed a long sigh of relief, and after being settled, they all immediately fell asleep.

But they could sleep, but Liu Zeqing couldn't sleep, because the night before Fang Zhenghua arrived in Dengzhou, Liu Zeqing had already received an envoy from the Great Middle Dynasty in advance.

With the Beijing division was conquered by Xiao Tianjian's troops, and repelled the Jiannu army at Shanhaiguan, the situation in the north has basically been settled, the states and counties around Gyeonggi have surrendered when they heard the news, and almost all the officers and troops have laid down their weapons on the spot and began to accept the reorganization of the Dazhong Army, so under Xiao Tianjian's will, a large number of envoys of the Dazhong Army selected by Li Xin and other staff members set out from the Beijing Division and were sent to various places in Shandong to persuade the local officials and troops and the government in Shandong that have not yet surrendered. As the last and largest official and military force in Shandong, Liu Zeqing is naturally also the target of the General Staff's attention.

In addition, before Xiao Tianjian entered and occupied Beijing, there were many old ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing who persuaded Chongzhen to abandon the Beijing division and flee south by boat from Dengzhou, so when the matter of the Beijing division stabilized slightly, Liu Zeqing was targeted by the General Staff.

Although in terms of Liu Zeqing's strength and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under his command, it is not difficult for the Dazhong army to clean them up, and they don't need too many soldiers and horses, they only need to send 10,000 elite soldiers to easily defeat Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses, but now they are facing a very important problem, that is, there is news that the prince Zhu Cihong and the three princes of Chongzhen, King Ding, and King Yong, should be under the protection of the great eunuch Fang Zhenghua at this time, and they are going to the Dengzhou area.

Therefore, considering that once the pressure is too tight, once Fang Zhenghua escorts the Ming prince Zhu Cihong to Dengzhou, it will force Liu Zeqing to take them by sea to flee south by sea, so Li Xin advocated that it was best to persuade Liu Zeqing to surrender, rather than sending troops to defeat Liu Zeqing, so Xiao Tianjian agreed to Li Xin's plan, while sending people to strictly investigate and arrest the three Ming princes on the front line of the canal, and at the same time arranged for the envoys to immediately rush to Dengzhou to meet Liu Zeqing directly, and persuaded Liu Zeqing to let go of his illusion and surrender to Dazhong Dynasty immediately.

Unfortunately, Fang Zhenghua arrived in Dengzhou a little too late, just before he finally ran to Dengzhou with his three princes, an envoy from the Great Middle Dynasty had already taken a step ahead of him and met Liu Zeqing in Dengzhou.

After arranging Fang Zhenghua and the three princes, Liu Zeqing sat in his mansion, frowning, on the one hand, there was a threat from the Dazhong Dynasty, on the other hand, it was the Tuo Gu of Emperor Chongzhen, although Liu Zeqing was not a loyal minister, but he had eaten the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and he still had "heavy soldiers" at hand, he knew very well that after surrendering to the Dazhong Dynasty, although this life may be saved, but with his ability, it is impossible to be reused in the Dazhong Dynasty, he is different from Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang led the troops to cooperate with the Dazhong Army and Jiannu in Shanhaiguan for two months, and helped the Dazhong Army to hold Shanhaiguan, so Dazhong Emperor Xiao Tianjian will not treat Wu Xiang badly, but to him, he will not be polite, as long as he surrenders, this military power is definitely not to think about it, at most he will find a place to live honestly in the rest of his life, and it will be his result to eat and wait for death.

But now that the three princes are in his hands, this seems to be a good card, he knows very well the value of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, as long as he protects Zhu Cihong and the two princes and escapes to the south, if nothing happens, he will definitely be reused, but on the other hand, if he can't take away many soldiers, even if he can protect Zhu Cihong to Fujian, if he can't do it, he will just cook a good pot for Zheng Zhilong, and if he has no soldiers and no generals, even if he arrives in Fujian, he may be hollowed out.

The most important thing is not this, judging from the performance of the Dazhong Army now, even Jiannu is not their opponent, so can the southern provinces block the front of the Dazhong Army?

Liu Zeqing is not a complete stupid, on the contrary, he has not been eaten by the Dazhong Army until now, which shows that Liu Zeqing is a smart person, and he can still see clearly the general trend of the world, after Xiao Tianjian's Dazhong Dynasty solves the north, no one can control him in the future, although there is still a Li Zicheng tossing in Shaanxi in the west, but with Li Zicheng's ability, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Dazhong Army, as for the southern side, except for Zheng Zhilong's strength, there is no general at all, The Ming army in the south wanted to resist the next step of the Dazhong army to move south, and it was only a matter of time before they were recovered by the Dazhong Dynasty.

Even if he can escort Zhu Cihong to Liangguang, Fujian, and be re-established by the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty as the emperor of a small court, it is estimated that it will not become a big deal, the Ming Dynasty was actually in Beijing by the moment when the Ming Dynasty was captured, he had already announced the fall of the Ming Dynasty, although he Liu Zeqing thought about occupying an area for the king, but as long as there is a large Chinese army, he has no such possibility, and even the Jiannu side that he began to be more optimistic about is now impossible to count on.

Thinking of this, Liu Zeqing gritted his teeth, immediately summoned his subordinates indoors, closed the door and began to tell them.

In the second half of the night, under the leadership of Liu Zeqing, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly surrounded the place where Fang Zhenghua and the three princes lived.

Fang Zhenghua came all the way, he was already tired and exhausted, and after arriving in Dengzhou and receiving Liu Zeqing's hospitality, Fang Zhenghua was somewhat relieved, thinking that Liu Zeqing promised him at dinner, he would prepare a boat tomorrow and escort them to board the ship and go south by sea.

But he didn't think that he was sleeping soundly in the second half of the night, and suddenly he felt that the door was pushed open, so he sat up excitedly, at this time someone walked into his room with a lantern, Fang Zhenghua fixed his eyes, it was Fang Zhenghua who was polite to him during the day, but at this time he saw Fang Zhenghua with a cold face, and walked into his room neatly draped.

So Fang Zhenghua chuckled in his heart, and a strong sense of foreboding enveloped his heart, so he immediately asked Liu Zeqing: "Why did Liu Junmen break into his father-in-law's residence so late?" But what's the matter? ”

Liu Zeqing sneered and said, "Father-in-law Fang is invited!" Something important - maybe so! I just want to inform Father-in-law Fang, just tonight, this official has already made up his mind, and from now on, he will surrender to Dazhong Dynasty! ”

When Fang Zhenghua heard this, he almost vomited blood, and immediately jumped out of bed with his fingers split, pounced on Liu Zeqing, and scolded: "Liu Zeqing! You despicable villain! The Holy Authority is alone with you, and you want to betray the Lord for glory! Today, my father-in-law fought with you......"

Poor Fang Zhenghua is defenseless at this time, although he has a little kung fu in his hands, but where is the opponent of those tiger-wolf-like family members under Liu Zeqing!

Liu Zeqing saw that Fang Zhenghua was violent and wanted to fight with him, so he sneered and waved his hand: "Kill!" ”

Several family members immediately drew their knives to meet Fang Zhenghua, and the two sharp single knives pierced into Fang Zhenghua's chest and abdomen almost at the same time, Fang Zhenghua's eyes were bloodshot, and he immediately stayed on the spot, staring at the face of Liu Zeqing, who was still sneering not far away, and fiercely "Poof!" With a spurt, a mouthful of blood spurted out, spit on Liu Zeqing's face, and scolded before he died: "Rebel thief, you must not die well...... Your Majesty, the slave is sorry for you......"

As Jia Ding withdrew his hand and drew the knife, Fang Zhenghua's corpse suddenly fell in front of Liu Zeqing's feet with a thud, and a large pool of blood immediately spread slowly from under Fang Zhenghua's body.

Liu Zeqing didn't expect that Fang Zhenghua, such a eunuch, would be so strong, and when he was dying, he would suddenly spray him with blood, but he was sprayed all over the face, and after a few twitches from the corners of his eyes, he immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face, looked down at Fang Zhenghua, who was already dead, and after taking a sip, he threw the bloodstained handkerchief on Fang Zhenghua's corpse, and shouted: "Drag this gelding out and chop it up and feed it to the dog!" ……”
