Chapter Seventy-One

At this time, because the Yu family's army invaded the city and developed too quickly, so that the defenders of the Beijing division and the imperial court were not mentally prepared, and there were not many soldiers and horses stationed in the palace at all, and there were only some brocade guards stationed here, with a total strength of only one or two thousand, and the combat effectiveness was very poor.

If Yu Xiaotian wanted to attack the imperial city now, it could be said that it was basically effortless, but Yu Xiaotian did not do so.

Because he knows very well the fierceness of Chongzhen's character, if he invades the imperial city now, then with Chongzhen's character, he will definitely not be willing to be his prisoner, he will definitely commit suicide and martyrdom, and his family will be martyred, which is not the result he wants.

He is not pedantic to pity Chongzhen's Cheng dù, in any era in the land of China, the change of dynasties is often extremely bloody, the new ruler, will never leave a hidden danger that can threaten him, for the heirs of the previous dynasty is often as much as possible to kill all the heirs.

And if he wants to take the position, he must also carry out a bloody killing, this time he attacked the Beijing Division, starting from Tianjin Wei, leading his generals, who have killed tens of thousands of people, at least tens of thousands of people have been slaughtered by his Yu family's army, including both Jiannu and official soldiers, and some innocent people.

But the reason why he didn't attack the palace now was not because he didn't have enough troops or because he had pity for Chongzhen, but because he needed it.

After two or three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty now regards the Ming Dynasty as the right one, and he suddenly made a dangerous move and brazenly captured the Beijing Division, but there are still too many places in the world, still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen died, then there are still many descendants of the Zhu family scattered all over the world, even if he forced Chongzhen to death, those officials in the Ming Dynasty can still choose one or even a few people from these descendants of the Zhu family to raise them to ascend the throne and become emperor, and continue to fight against him.

In this way, the world doesn't know what the chaos will become, he doesn't have the time to deal with this kind of thing every day, so he needs Chongzhen to live now.

Chongzhen is alive, then he is the Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can set up a person to be the emperor, and replace Chongzhen's edict to order the world's soldiers and horses to confront his Yujia army.

As long as he controls Chongzhen, then he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, no matter who the edict is from, as long as it is stamped with the imperial seal, no one can say anything, if someone disobeys, then it is a rebellion, which will play a very good role in quickly stabilizing the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Tongguò This means can make the blood of the Chinese as little as possible, and also make China's economy suffer less damage, and he Yu Xiaotian really can't afford to wait.

Now he is nearly forty years old, but he has not yet sent out the Chinese fleet, but has just sent a small number of sea ships to explore the way around the world, he does not have much time to wait, he must restore the stability of China as quickly as possible, so that he can have the spare strength to send a large number of warships to fight for territory around the world.

Therefore, he must let Chongzhen live in order to complete his goal, as for whether he is the emperor or not, it is not very important, and in his lifetime, he will lead the Chinese nation to embark on a strong broad road, and lay a solid foundation for the next hundreds or even thousands of years, the Chinese nation will stand on the top of the world and lay a solid foundation, which is much more important than anything.

This is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian solemnly promised Gao Minghu that he would never harm Emperor Chongzhen when he was negotiating with Gao Minghu.

Now, although Jingshi has not been completely controlled by him, but the overall situation has almost been decided, and then the Jingshi can be fully controlled as soon as tomorrow, as long as there is no problem tonight, then Yiqiē will be under his control, and now he estimates that Chongzhen, who is staying in the palace, is probably very panicked and angry.

So what he needs to do now is to appease Chongzhen first, thinking of this, he beckoned Lu Tong, who came with the army this time, bowed his head and whispered to him, Liu Tong nodded while listening, and then bowed down to receive the order, hurriedly went down to find a place temporarily, took the four treasures of the study, spread out a piece of rice paper, and began to write hard.

After a while, Lu Tong wrote a sprinkling recital, after drying the ink, he read it again and again, and then quickly presented it to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian nodded after reading it and said: "That's what it means, no problem, send someone to the palace to send it in!" ”

After a short time, a captured eunuch was dragged over, and Lu Tong handed over this piece written in the name of Yu Xiaotian to the eunuch, and said to him: "This is the piece of music that our commander presented to the saint, presumably the saint must be very frightened now, we have no intention of murdering the saint, but to enter Beijing to eliminate those traitorous ministers!" You take this chapter now, quickly enter the palace, and present it to the saint, please don't worry, our commander has no intention of rebellion, and we will do our best to provide for all the needs of the palace in the future, and will never let the saint and the people in the palace suffer the slightest grievance! As for disturbing the saint, I hope the saint will forgive me, and after the situation in the capital is stabilized, we will go to the saint to ask for guilt! Go ahead! ”

The eunuch took this note tremblingly, nodded yes again and again, and then was taken down and walked in the direction of Daming Gate.

The Jinyi guard who handled the Daming Gate saw a eunuch, carrying a lantern, walking towards the Daming Gate, so he hurriedly rang the police gong, and the Daming Gate City Tower was suddenly in chaos.

A brocade-clothed guard was lying on the tower of the city gate, and shouted: "Who is coming!" Stop quickly, and if I don't report my identity, I'll have to shoot my bow and arrows! ”

The eunuch was so frightened that he quickly shouted, "Don't let go of the arrows!" Don't let the arrows go! Yu Nai's royal eunuch Ma Rucheng came to send a chapter to the saint, quickly open the door and let me in! Yu must immediately meet the Holy One! If you delay a big event, be careful of your waiting head! Put me in! ”

At this time, this guy was still holding a shelf, but his voice was trembling, obviously terrified, his legs kept shaking, and he could barely stand on his feet.

When the Jinyi guard stationed on the Daming Gate heard it, let people identify it carefully, it was indeed the eunuch in charge of the imperial prison, at this time he wanted to enter the palace to present the symphony chapter, it must have been sent by the rebels, and now the chaos outside is a mess, so far the rebels have not launched an attack on the palace, which must be for a reason.

At this time, if this Ma Rucheng was blocked from entering the palace, it would delay the big event, so after they discussed it, they didn't dare to open the palace door, but they still put down a big basket from the palace wall, let Ma Rucheng sit in the big basket, and pulled him up with a rope.

After Ma Rucheng entered the palace, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and he didn't care about his own wolf appearance, grabbed the corners of his robe, asked the current location of the saint, and the two short legs tightened together, and ran to the imperial study like the wind.

In the afternoon, he first heard the fierce sound of fire outside the Xuanwu Gate, and then outside the Wumen Gate and the Xihua Gate, there were also fierce shouts and explosions, which always frightened him to fidget, and he had a sharp sword in his hand at any time, ready for the worst at any time.

But from the time the palace was surrounded to the present, the sky has completely darkened, and the sound of firecrackers and explosions has been constantly sounding everywhere in the city, and the shouts of killing have not stopped, but the sound of fierce fighting outside the palace has gradually stopped, and the eunuch sent to inquire about the news replied that the rebels did not attack the imperial city after surrounding the palace, and now they are only blocking the gates of the palace, but they have not attacked the palace.

Chongzhen had a feeling of emaciation at this time, and he didn't know what to do for a while, obviously in the afternoon, some officials and soldiers launched a counterattack against the family army, but now it seems that these counterattacks launched by the officials and soldiers have ended in failure, that is to say, now the official army is no longer able to come to the rescue, Yu Jiajun is gradually controlling the Jing Division, and what is the fate waiting for him next, Chongzhen can't guess.

He didn't know if the rebels would launch an attack on the palace tomorrow, and now he only felt like a sharp knife hanging above his head, which would fall at any time, and he didn't know when it would fall, which was the most uncomfortable thing for him.

People have the most basic instinct to survive, if it is not at the last moment, even if Chongzhen's temperament is strong, but he doesn't want to cut himself like this, he always has a trace of fantasy, imagining that at this time, King Qin's soldiers and horses can rush to Beijing, and wipe out all the rebels, even if it is to drive them out of the capital, Daming finally has a glimmer of life.

Just when he was anxious and waiting for the updated news, a eunuch suddenly ran in from outside in a panic and said to Chongzhen: "Initiate the Shengshang, the imperial eunuch Ma Rucheng returned to the palace from outside, saying that there is a renegade against Xiaotian and wants to present it to the Shengshang!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately shouted: "Pass him in!" ”

Ma Rucheng was dusty, and he was brought into the imperial study from the outside, and quickly knelt down to say goodbye to Chongzhen, holding a piece of music in both hands, and said: "Qi Shengshang, just now betrayed Xiaotian, handed over a piece of music to the slave, and ordered the slave to enter the palace overnight and present it to the saint!" Holy Lord, please take a look! ”

Someone immediately went over and sent the piece to Chongzhen, Chongzhen endured the fear in his heart, pretended to be calm, unfolded the piece, and watched it carefully through the light.

When he finished reading the piece that Yu Xiaotian had presented him, he first breathed a long sigh of relief, but then he was furious and threw the piece on top of the dragon case.

"Rebel thief! This Yu Xiaotian is really a rebel and thief! Where does he want to clear what kind of king's side, this is clearly to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! Rebel and rebel! How can I tolerate him? I want to edict the world to fight against the traitors! Wipe it all over! ”
