Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sitting in the City of Sorrow

Although the ministers had already predicted that Liu Gongwang's fate might be very bad just now, when they saw that Yu Xiaotian was not angry, they still thought about Liu Gongwang's luck.

But no one thought that Liu Gongwang would be so strong, suddenly broke free from Yu Xiaotian's personal guards, and rushed towards Yu Xiaotian, and the scene that happened next frightened everyone, everyone only saw a flash of cold light, Liu Gongwang's head flew up, the blood in the cavity soared out of the old high, the head flew far away and fell to the ground, and the bones rolled out of a distance.

And the black strong general who killed Liu Gongwang viciously glanced at everyone present, and his fierce and cold gaze made people shudder no matter who it was.

Everyone was silent, no one dared to talk more, and even many people didn't even dare to look at Liu Gongwang's corpse, let alone stand up and scold Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian glared at Liu Wang, but sighed after a while, because Liu Wang didn't do anything wrong today, Liu Wang himself is Yu Xiaotian's biggest personal guard, if someone offends him, Liu Wang draws a knife to kill, it is not too much, in addition, today Liu Gongwang has a will to die, such a fierce expression, it shows that he has the heart to seek death, and he rushed over to fight with Yu Xiaotian, which is itself looking for death, and has threatened Yu Xiaotian's safety to a certain extent, Liu Wang did nothing wrong to kill him.

At this time, other guards also pounced, searched Liu Gongwang's body, and sure enough, a very sharp narrow knife was found in Liu Gongwang's arms, this knife was well hidden by him, when he entered the door just now, it was not searched out, and Liu Gongwang took advantage of the opportunity to get close to Yu Xiaotian today, and wanted to finally break the cauldron and assassinate Yu Xiaotian's idea, at this time, it was also obvious that Liu Wang did nothing wrong to kill him.

So Yu Xiaotian had to sigh, squatted down and stretched out his hand to gently brush the eyes of Liu Gongwang, who was still angry, closed his eyes, stood up and said loudly: "Yu admires Lord Liu!" Yu didn't have the intention of killing him, but Lord Liu had the idea of assassinating me! The guards under his command didn't do anything wrong to kill him, so Yu had no reason to punish him!

But for a person like Lord Liu, Yu still has to say respect! Come! Sew up Lord Liu's head and body, scrub them clean, and send them back to his home, and wait for the official to give his family a thousand taels of silver! Go find a good coffin and collect his remains!

His family is allowed to send his coffin back to his hometown for burial! The cost of the journey will be borne by the official! ”

This farce of the military department came to an end, and those court officials were first appeased, and then watched Yu Xiaotian kill people and establish authority, and they did not dare to disobey Xiaotian, so they all hurried back to their positions and began to go to work to deal with the backlog of official business.

Of course, now these people don't dare to act perfunctory anymore, and they don't dare to act against Yu Xiaotian's wishes, they really do their jobs, and Yu Xiaotian has sent his soldiers to guard these guys in the major yamen, and the entire head of the Ming Dynasty has resumed operation again at this time.

It's just that at the moment, they can only deal with some simple things, like many things that need to be decreed, because Yu Xiaotian did not get the jade seal, so they can't issue an edict for the time being.

However, on the whole, the various departments have temporarily resumed their operations, so as not to let the entire Ming Dynasty's machine qì completely stop, as for whether the local government still recognizes the legitimacy of the current Ming machine, Yu Xiaotian does not care for the time being, the big fist is the key, and what he needs at the moment is to solve Chongzhen's problem first.

Chongzhen's life in the palace during this time can be said to be like a year, and now he can basically be sure that Yu Xiaotian will not attack the palace, take him down and announce the change of dynasty, at least the personal safety of him and his family is basically guaranteed, and there will be no danger.

Yu Xiaotian has been sparse again and again in the past few days, stating that he has no intention of usurping the throne, let alone the idea of killing the king, please rest assured, first recuperate in the palace for a period of time, and rest and relax.

This is probably Chongzhen's most idle period since he ascended the throne, he looks at the desk every day, and there are no piles of folds for him to review, this kind of life makes him very unaccustomed.

And he is still very angry, every day he inevitably loses his temper, angrily scolds Yu Xiaotian, and those eunuchs and maids in the palace are carefully serving, for fear that one of them will accidentally annoy him and be dragged out and killed.

This kind of thing has happened several times these days, and some eunuchs and palace maids didn't look long and inadvertently angered Chongzhen, but they were dragged out and beaten to death by Chongzhen's order on the spot, so the rest of these eunuchs and palace maids have become more cautious, and if they can stay away, they will try to stay away.

After experiencing the panic in the first few days, Chongzhen gradually calmed down, and re-sorted out the things he had experienced during this period of time, and he can now be sure that Yu Xiaotian went north this time with the purpose of entering Beijing.

From the moment Yu Xiaotian landed at Dagukou, he had already mobilized the power of public opinion and began to launch a public opinion offensive to influence the direction of public opinion.

He first passed the death of Lu Xiangsheng, and launched a condemnation of Yang Sichang and others among the people, which made Yang Sichang and others become rats crossing the street, and Yang Sichang and others had a deep fear of him, so Yang Sichang and others began to make stupid moves and said to him that they wanted to kill Yu Xiaotian and eliminate future troubles.

As a result, this should be exactly what Yu Xiaotian wanted, he Chongzhen listened to what Yang Sichang and others said, and he thought before that Yu Xiaotian had the heart of self-reliance and non-subordination in Fujian, and this time he must have tried to do wrong, so he took Yu Xiaotian's role lightly, listened to Yang Sichang and others' mention, did not allocate a little food to Yu Xiaotian, and tried to secretly arrange for the official army to flank Yu Xiaotian and destroy him when Xiaotian and Jiannu were fighting.

Now that I think about it, what he did at that time was really a faint move that couldn't be fainted anymore, a super stupid move, after the news was revealed, the public opinion in the world immediately fell to Yu Xiaotian's side, and the dissatisfaction of the people in the world with the court escalated in the matter of Lu Xiangsheng's death, and the court completely stood on the opposite side of public opinion.

This is not counting, Yu Xiaotian is obviously going north this time, is fully prepared, although the strength is not too much, but the strength of the battle, has exceeded the imagination of everyone now, although the Jiannu army is powerful, but it is not their opponent, Yu Xiaotian is desperate, and Jiannu fight to the death, but also to justify his behavior, shaping it into a national hero, and the court in the small half a year after Jiannu entered the customs, but basically did nothing, the official army has been defeated repeatedly, so that many people in the world are completely disappointed in the court.

Yu Xiaotian completely defeated the Jiannu army at this time, which was in line with the people's will and won the support of the people, especially after this battle, he robbed hundreds of thousands of people who were captured by Jiannu, making him a hero in the hearts of these people, putting the court in an extremely embarrassing position, making many people think that the court was unwilling to save these Ming people, and completely shaped the court into a weak and mediocre image, which was spurned by the people of the world.

But he Chongzhen then made a bigger stupid move than before, that is, he listened to the Jian Yì of Liu Yuliang and others, and like everyone in the world, he thought that the Yu family army had lost its combat power after fighting to the death with Jiannu, and took this opportunity to want to destroy it in order to prevent future troubles.

But they were wrong again this time, everyone miscalculated the terrible combat power of the Yu family army, and they didn't expect that after the Yu family army defeated the Jiannu army, it would still have such a strong combat effectiveness, and it would file two official armies in a row.

As a result, the imperial court did this to become a standard stealing chickens and rice, and instead of destroying Yu Xiaotian, it was put in a more passive situation and became a public enemy of the world.

The most terrifying thing about Yu Xiaotian is that he knows how to use the tool of public opinion to deal with the imperial court and him Zhu Youzhen, and he thought about everything carefully, and led the imperial court into the urn step by step, but in the end he not only lost a big defeat, but also lost the hearts of the people.

The strength of the Yu family's army has reached the point where it is incomprehensible, with a strength of more than 30,000 people, even the Jiannu army and countless official troops of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Beijing Division, which is regarded as impregnable, is also under its troops, and it did not even hold out for a few days, and it was broken by it.

Although the Yu family army broke the city this time, there was an element of opportunism and collusion with Gao Minghu to open the city and surrender, but it is undeniable that the Yu family army will be quite good at fighting, and the firearms are extremely sharp.

Daming really deserves to die, I want him to reign for so many years, day and night to rectify the world, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point, the Central Plains provinces of the displaced people army everywhere, and now there is such a huge rebellion, even the Beijing division has been lost, he is a Ming Emperor, actually trapped in the city of sorrow, trapped in the small imperial city, became Yu Xiaotian's forbidden body, Chongzhen after thinking about everything, there is an urge to immediately draw a sword and kill himself.

But as a person, Chongzhen is not without a little desire to survive, especially this time because he was caught off guard, none of the princes were sent out of the palace in time, and they were blocked in this palace, if he does not die, for Yu Xiaotian, there is still use value, but if he dies, then he, the princes, may completely lose their use value.

In addition, Chongzhen thought about it a lot, thinking that he couldn't die now, and he could completely follow the example of those emperors who endured humiliation and burden, Taoguang raised his obscurity, looked for opportunities to revive the rivers and mountains, and regained power in time, and eliminated the rebellion of Xiaotian.

But if he dies, Yu Xiaotian can completely make any of his several princes the new emperor and completely play with it in the palm of his hand, then Da Ming may really be finished.

So Chongzhen thought about it for a long time, but he still gave up the idea of committing suicide, and decided to first taoguang and recuperate, and then seek to actually revitalize the Daming rivers and mountains.

He knew that next, Yu Xiaotian would probably seize power soon, unless he died, I am afraid that he would not be able to stop Yu Xiaotian from doing this, but even if he died, could he prevent Yu Xiaotian from seizing power?

Now that the generals under Yu Xiaotian's command have controlled the entire Jingshi, what can he do if he doesn't listen to Yu Xiaotian's words? Do you expect those Qinwang's troops to annihilate the rebels under Yu Xiaotian?

Chongzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, now he already knows what kind of army Yu Xiaotian has created, even Jiannu and Guan Ning's army are not opponents of Yu's army, so even if Hong Chengchou is ordered to lead the Shaanxi army into Weiqin Wang, I am afraid that he may not really be able to defeat the rebels of the family army.

This group of Yu family troops is really powerful, now the world can deal with their soldiers and horses, I am afraid that at least in the Ming Dynasty can not be found, the current situation is, I am afraid that no one can save him, except for the hypocrisy of the snake, Taoguang Yang, he Chongzhen has nothing to count on.

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more sad he became, the more desperate he became, and after a few days, he lost a lot of weight, and his spirit gradually collapsed.
