Chapter 156 Zhu Qiyu's Nervousness (plus more chapters)
Several people died in a row, but still no abnormalities were found.When Han Zhi's face changed drastically, he also noticed that the Jinyi guards around him began to deliberately keep a distance from him. From what they looked like, it was clear that they would be named and sent to die.
In the dense forest beside the road, the members of the ghost sniper team were very excited.They like the feeling of taking someone's head from a thousand meters away.
The moment the bullet whizzed out, the blood in his whole body seemed to boil.Now I just hope that this Han Zhi will not be cowardly, so as to give them a chance to kill them happily.
Will Han Zhi be cowardly?
The answer is yes.Seeing ten brothers die in front of him for no apparent reason, his courage was about to be frightened, at this moment, he wished he could turn around and ride back.If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't know how to reply to Jin Ying, he might have disappeared long ago.
In contrast, Tang Tong and others have high morale.
Although they also didn't know the reason why the enemy died as soon as they moved, they might be sure that the one who did it secretly was one of their own.With such a powerful foreign aid, what else is there to be afraid of?Now it's just a good show to watch the other party move forward and die one by one.
At the same time, many Jin Yiwei who were hesitant to follow Tang Tong were really glad that they made the right choice.
"Report." Just when Han Zhi was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do next, a scout cavalry came behind him.As soon as he appeared, he got off his horse and knelt down and said, "Lord Bao Han, behind us Cao Jixiang led three thousand royal guards to outflank us."
"Cao Jixiang!" Hearing that someone outflanked him, Han Zhi not only didn't feel nervous, on the contrary he was very happy in his heart.I was worried that there was no reason to go back and not be able to do business.Well now, Cao Jixiang's arrival gave him enough excuses.
"No, they are here to deal with us. So people obey the order and withdraw." A reaction as if facing an enemy, Han Zhi yelled in horror and then drove back with his horse.The other Jin Yiwei who had long been reluctant to move forward finally had a suitable reason and excuse, and they all ran away behind Han Zhi at the same pace.
The three thousand guards in Jinyi really came in a rush, and when they left, flying sand swept across their faces, and in a blink of an eye, they withdrew completely, leaving only ten corpses that were gradually icy on the ground.
"Where is Tang Tong? Someone disposed of these corpses, and at the same time sent hundreds of people to garrison here. No one is allowed to move forward without an appointment, otherwise these people will be their role models." Yang Si issued an order loudly, and then turned around on horseback Going to Yangjiazhuang, he wants to tell the young master about Cao Jixiang's army and ask him to make a decision.
Cao Jixiang brought more than [-] warriors under his command and the Jinyiwei who could be recruited, and came out of the south city to Yangjiazhuang.
When the army left the capital, the speed slowed down.In order to show his importance, he was not in a hurry to hurry, but wanted to wait for Han Zhi and Tang Tong to kill each other before he appeared as a corpse picker.In this way, his importance can be demonstrated.
The team walked unhurriedly, but after only five miles away, the scouts they sent sent back the news that Han Zhi had withdrawn with three thousand royal guards and chose another way to return to the capital. .
"Withdrawn? Didn't they fight Tang Tong? Or did he not catch up at all?" Cao Jixiang looked puzzled and puzzled, which was different from the version he imagined.
"We caught up, but I don't know why the two sides didn't make a move. After discovering our existence, they quickly left." The scout was also puzzled, but he still told the truth about what he heard.
Cao Jixiang, who didn't know the reason, knew that the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight was gone, but he was not discouraged. Is there any benefit in not doing it? For example, Tang Tong and the others are safe and sound, which is also a good thing.He believes that he is fully capable of swallowing this force, so that his strength will be strengthened without serious damage. "Okay, now that Han Zhi and the others are gone, let's go to Yangjiazhuang, hehe, I've been famous for this Dongshuai for a long time."
Yangjiazhuang.
"Cao Jixiang, hehe, this is quite a character." After listening to Yang Si's report, Yang Chendong had a flat smile on his face.How could he not know about this eunuch who was finally going to rebel in history.It's just because of Wang Zhen's relationship with Jin Ying that he is not so conspicuous.
With the passage of time, this person finally stepped onto the stage of history, and even judging from his performance, it may be earlier than the chance to shine in history. "Notify me. When he arrives, bring him over to see Ben."
Yang Chendong, who had already bared his fangs, had to be so careful in everything before he returned to the civil fortress. Even when facing Cao Jixiang, he still had a condescending attitude.
"Yes." After Yang Si clasped his fists in agreement, he withdrew.Yang Chendong was left there alone thinking about the next situation to deal with.
I can't hide the fact that I am a pioneer of Yingzong.In a dynasty, two emperors will appear soon. I really don't know how everyone will choose next, and what choice will Daizong Zhu Qiyu choose?
Han Zhi fled back to the capital in a panic with three thousand royal guards, and headed straight for the palace as soon as he entered the inner city.
In the palace, Jin Ying had already told the newly enthroned Daizong Zhu Qiyu about the fact that Yang Chendong had returned to Beijing as a pioneer official of the Yingzong, and also told about the fact that this person had taken Empress Qian out of the palace.
Zhu Qiyu's face also became a little flustered.
His throne was not inherited from anyone, nor did he get it through word of mouth like other emperors. It was all the ministers who pushed him to this position.
Originally thought that the emperor's brother Zhu Qizhen had already died on the battlefield, so his throne could be regarded as justified.But what I never thought was that he is still alive, so what is his throne?Isn't it suspected of usurping the throne?
Thinking about this, Zhu Qiyu tried to say to Jin Ying: "Since the emperor is still alive, then when he comes back, let him have the throne."
While Zhu Qiyu's answer disappointed Jin Ying, she was even more shocked.
If this is the case, one can imagine what will happen to him.When Yingzong left, he let himself, another eunuch Xing'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Wang Zhi, and son-in-law Jiao Jing handle the government affairs together.But now, he actually made no mention of the other three people, and recommended Zhu Qiyu as the emperor. Once he is held accountable, his result will be obvious. He is afraid that not only himself will die, but everyone related to him will also escape. not drop.
Zhu Qizhen must not be allowed to ascend the throne again. After Jin Ying made up his mind, when he looked at Zhu Qiyu, he said in a threatening tone: "Your Majesty, do you think this is borrowing something? You don't need it." , can you return it? This is the throne, whether you like it or not, you are now the Daizong Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Based on this, do you think he will spare you if he comes back?"
"Ah! How about that?" Zhu Qiyu panicked when he heard what Jin Ying said.
Zhu Qiyu is not a person with a deep city, and he is far inferior to his elder brother Zhu Qizhen in terms of emperor's mind.He is straightforward, with a little low emotional intelligence, and sometimes he doesn't even know how to turn and work around.
In history, he once openly bribed ministers for his son's becoming a prince, which is evident.
Now when I heard Jin Yingren's alarming words, I was naturally taken aback.In other words, no one wants to die, and so does Zhu Qiyu.Especially after being the emperor for a few days, the people below are very polite to him. Whatever he wants to do, others will obey him. This feeling makes him a little bit smug.
Now that he has to give up all these privileges, and even bear the risk of losing his life, if he is replaced by anyone, he will be afraid and feel a little bit reluctant.
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was a little scared, Jin Ying knew that her words had worked, and at the same time she was happy, she expressed her ideas and meanings. "Your Majesty, no matter how you came to the throne, it is undoubtedly orthodox. You have been recommended by the ministers, and you have been approved by the Empress Dowager Sun. Then you are the current Emperor of Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about this. If anyone has doubts If so, then they should be caught and killed, to make an example to others."
"Catch him and kill him?" Zhu Qiyu repeated what Jin Ying said.
"Yes, it is to be arrested and killed. In this way, no one dares to speak ill of you. As for the matter of Yingzong's return to the court, I think he can be regarded as the Supreme Emperor, just like Li Yuan in the Tang Dynasty. Is Li Shimin respected as the Supreme Emperor? And in later generations, because Li Shimin loves the people, he is not respected as Tang Taizong, this is the example set by the predecessors for us!" Jin Ying is not an ignorant person, When it comes to history, it's clear and logical.
After Jin Ying's enlightenment, Zhu Qiyu's face looked much better.He didn't want to die, but in order for him to live, or even live better, he had no choice but to wrong his brother. "Okay, then respect my brother as the emperor according to your wishes, but I don't know how the officials will react to this? Will they support me? After all, I have only been emperor for a few days, my brother He has been emperor for more than ten years."
"It doesn't matter, as long as they give enough benefits, these ministers will make the right choice." Jin Ying said confidently.Now that he holds a lot of power, with Zhu Qiyu's support, under the radish and stick, he doesn't believe that anyone would dare to have an opinion.
Of course, what can be wooed is mainly wooed.Since the Han Dynasty exclusively respected Confucianism, Confucian disciples have been a privileged class, aloof.Monopolizing education, monopolizing officialdom, corrupt and depraved, conservative and stubborn, but powerful, even the emperor depends on the face of Confucianism.
Chapter 157 Firearm Shock
This is why Zhu Qiyu is worried about the reaction of the officials, because the forces they represent are often greater than the imperial power.
Of course, Jin Ying also understood this truth.But it was precisely because he knew the reason why he believed even more that as long as the benefits were given enough, he would not worry about not getting the support of these ministers.And among these ministers, there is another very important person, that is Yang Chendong.
Now that this person can be sent back by Zhu Qiyu as a vanguard, it means that he is definitely trusted at this stage. If he can also be allowed to support the orthodoxy of Zhu Qiyu's identity as emperor, then Zhu Qiyu will really be unable to stand up.
After making a plan with the emperor, Jin Ying went out of the main hall and met Han Zhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei who was like an ant on a hot pot.
As soon as he saw his master come out, Han Zhi fell to his knees with a thump, "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to catch Tang Gui and the others. In addition, Cao Jixiang led a large number of Jinyi guards to copy the rear of his subordinates, and his subordinates are worried about the army. If there is a mistake, I will step back first, but I have sent people to the gates of the city, and told them that without your order, no Jinyiwei is allowed to enter the capital."
"What's going on? How many troops did Cao Jixiang lead?" Hearing that so many things had happened during this period of time, Jin Ying's expression changed again and again.I thought it was only a matter of time before Tang Tong was killed and Yang Chendong was captured by relying on the number of people.Yang Xima, who became a prisoner, had no chance to negotiate terms with him. At that time, wouldn't it be that he could do what he said.How could I have thought that things were not the same thing at all.
"The thing is like this." Han Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and explained to Jin Ying everything he had heard and seen.When he heard that the ten Jinyi guards died on the spot without any life or breath, and no one could find out who shot, Jin Ying knew that it must be the effect of the advanced firearms.He also understood that the previous report that Qian Sengbao captured Yangjiazhuang and was looking for firearms was also false.
Even when he got the news from himself, he was afraid that Qian Sengbao was already dead.From this point of view, Yangjiazhuang really cannot be underestimated.
Originally possessing advanced firearms, Yangjiazhuang was a bit impenetrable, but now with the support of Cao Jixiang, it may have become powerful.From this point of view, this Yang Xima is really difficult to deal with, and he can't do without a little capital.
"Okay, I know the matter. Now, I will report this matter to the emperor immediately. You and the guards in brocade clothes are waiting for my dispatch at any time." After Jin Ying finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the main hall of the palace, and found it again. Daizong Zhu Qiyu.
"Ai Qing, but what's the matter?" Seeing Jin Ying appearing, Zhu Qizhen felt panic for some reason.
"Your Majesty, the matter is indeed a bit unexpected. That Yang Chendong who was just made a loyal man by the Yingzong has a very powerful firearm in his hand, which can easily take people's lives within a few hundred steps. Just now, ten Jinyi guards died. In the hands of this kind of firearm." As soon as Jin Ying saw Zhu Qizhen, he said the problem was very serious, otherwise, he would not be taken seriously, and it would be difficult to discuss the next conditions.
"If there is such a thing, what should we do?" Zhu Qiyu started to panic again. He really didn't expect that he, the emperor, would be so trembling.
