Hu Weizong received Wang Yan's orders and searched for the dead corpses for a while, but he failed to obtain any valuable information from the northern captives, so he had to move the target to the Han people who were killed.

During the search, Hu Weizong found several seals one after another, which made his face change, and he hurriedly handed over the seals to Wang Yan to see.

Wang Yan saw the seal, and his face changed immediately, these are all official seals, which means that the Han people who were killed are all court officials who fled, and as officials, they have all died in battle, so the situation they are facing is obviously precarious, and at the critical moment of crisis survival, even the survivors have been captured by the Qing army.

At this time, Wang Yan took the seal, and couldn't help but read it slightly: "The head of the Ministry of Rites is the seal of the world, the military department gives Wu Yongyin in the matter, Gu Xiancheng of Dali Temple, and Shi Li Wenyin, the head of the Tang Dynasty~"

Every time Wang Yan looked at a seal, his face became heavy, each of these seals represented a dead court official, and the seal of the Tang Dynasty's Mansion Changshi made his face change greatly, "The Qing army is chasing and killing the Tang King!" ”

Wang Yan was not very clear about the matter in Hangzhou, but he knew that after the surrender of the Lu Domain, the most urgent task of the Ming Dynasty was to establish a new lord to resist the Qing Dynasty, so that the hearts of the people would be attached to it, and the righteous people who cherished their homeland could be spiritually supported.

The long history of the Tang Dynasty Mansion is folded here, and there are several ministers of the court who were killed together, so it can be seen that it must be the courtiers who did not want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and fled with the Tang Dynasty, and were chased and killed by the elite fast horses of the Qing army.

When Wang Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly said: "I suspect that the King of Tang was chased and killed by the Qing army, and looking at some of the ministers who were killed, the situation of the King of Tang must have been very dangerous. The blood stains on these corpses have not dried, presumably the battle did not take place for long, Tang Wang and his party should still be nearby, and Zong Ke quickly explored it with a few little masters. I am here, waiting for you to hear from you. ”

"No!" When Hu Weizong heard this, he hugged his fists and responded.

"If you go to search, remember to be careful, in case you find the Qing army, don't act impulsively, come back and inform me first." Wang Yan instructed: "Within two quarters of an hour, whether or not they find anything, they will all come back first and join me." ”

"The last general knows." Hu Weizong nodded, and then searched in different directions with the five junior teachers.

Seeing this, Wang Yan asked the three daughters not to get out of the car, and then together with Su Kunsheng and the coachman, he hastily buried the dead minister.

Not long after, Hu Weizong, who inquired about the news, came back first, "Master Hou, there is a hill not far to the south, Tang Wang and his entourage are trapped in the temple, more than 20 Qing troops are attacking, it seems that there is an act of arson and burning the temple, and the last general cannot be approached, so he will come back immediately to report." ”

Knowing the whereabouts of King Tang, Wang Yan was slightly overjoyed, but when he thought that King Tang and his party had reached the point where even the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty had personally fought against the Qing army, he immediately became worried in his heart.

At this time, Wang Yan could not wait with peace of mind, and after several little masters came back, they went to save Tang Wang, and ordered Su Kunsheng and the coachman to wait here with the three daughters, and if the little masters came back, let them go to the south to meet him, and then they took the first step with Hu Weizong and ran to the hill.

Tang Wang and his entourage went out of Quzhou City, all the way south, when they reached the vicinity of Lishui, the elite cavalry sent by Azig suddenly chased them, the northern cavalry was fierce, Tang Wang and his party were defenseless, fortunately Zheng Sen and the ministers fought to the death, so they were able to escape from the time, but Zheng Sen's men and several younger ministers also died in the united front.

Tang Wang and his entourage, in a hurry, left the post road, went south into the mountains and forests, in a vain attempt to escape the pursuit of the Qing cavalry, but Tang Wang and Zuo Maodi and other ministers, how can the body be compared with the captive soldiers, so after escaping not far away, they were still caught up by the Qing army and were blocked in the broken temple.

More than 20 Qing troops surrounded the broken temple and attacked from all sides, but although Zheng Sen was a Confucian scholar, he came from Jiangmen, and his martial arts were extraordinary.

The Qing army attacked several times, but failed to break the door, and in anger, they took firewood and grass, prepared and burned the broken temple, and forced the Tang King to come out and surrender.

In the broken temple, only Zheng Sen still has some combat strength, and the rest of the ministers are all ministers who have been in the court for a long time, and it is the limit to barely hold the temple gate, and if they go out to fight with the Qing soldiers, it will just be sent to death.

Tang Wang didn't expect that he had only been in charge of the country for a few days, and he had fallen into such a desperate situation, and his heart was already a dead ash, he glanced at the embarrassed ministers in the temple, and said sadly: "You are all loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty, but you are burdened by this king, and you are implicated in this desperate situation." ”

"Why did Your Highness say this?" When the ministers heard this, they were also sad and indignant in their hearts, and they knelt down one after another, "It's all the incompetence of the ministers, who failed to protect His Highness, and the ministers are ashamed of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"It's not the fault of Qing and others, God doesn't bless me!" Tang Wang saw the minister kneeling down and crying bitterly, his heart was also sad, he waved his hand to ask the ministers not to blame themselves, and then there was a look at the sword in his hand, Zheng Sen with an unwilling face said: "Sooner or later, the temple will be broken by the Manchu Tartars, and this king will be the prison country, so he can't be insulted by the Manchus, and now he has decided to die and die for the country." After the martyrdom of this king, Da Mu can take Zhu Qing to break through, and he has the ability of Da Mu, because there is a glimmer of life. ”

"Your Highness!" When Zheng Sen heard this, he shouted bitterly.

At this time, the people in the temple understood the heart of the Tang King to seek death, and they were all sad in their hearts, but they couldn't stop it, facing more than 20 Qing soldiers outside the temple, that is, Zheng Sen, who was strong in martial arts, did not have much chance to escape, and they and the Tang King, if they did not commit suicide, the result was nothing more than two, one was tortured and killed by the Qing army, and the other was captured by the Qing army, and both results were the shame of the Ming Dynasty.

When the ministers saw that the Tang King was determined to beg for death, they couldn't help but fall to the ground and weep bitterly.

At this time, the Qing soldiers outside the temple had already lit firewood and grass, and bursts of smoke rose from the mountain, and a lot of smoke and dust slowly drifted into the temple, choking everyone for a while.

Seeing this, the king of Tang was already desperate in his heart, and looked north at the filial piety tomb of Taizu in Nanjing, and exclaimed bitterly: "The ancestors of the first emperor and the ancestors are above, and the heavens have given Taizu Weide, and the ministers have tried to drive away the Manchurian Tartar and restore the rivers and mountains since the prison of the country, but it has backfired, and so far they have only fled all the way, doing nothing, and the ministers are very ashamed. Today, the temple is full of Tartars, and the sons and daughters are trapped in the place of death, and they dare not forget the training of their ancestors, and the only one who dies is to die in the society! ”

After the Tang King worshipped, he got up and said goodbye to Zhu Qing, and then took a rag and hung it on the beam. ”

For a time, the temple was full of despair and grief, full of sobbing and crying, Tang Wang followed the support of the minister, a little trembling stepped on the high stool, and was about to hang himself, but there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the courtyard gate, and an urgent shout: "His Royal Highness the Tang King, my Wang Shiheng is here to help!" ”
