But as soon as he rushed to Zhu Youjian's side, a sword slashed across his throat, and it was Zhu Youjian's sword flying fairy.
"How is it possible..." Update the fastest../../
The Taoist opened his mouth in disbelief, and slowly fell in front of Zhu Youjian. To the end of his life, he could not believe that Emperor Ming was so powerful.
Qinglong opened their shirts with a knife, and the lotus pattern reappeared, and hurriedly reported to Zhu Youjian:
"Reporting to the emperor, both of them have lotus patterns on their bodies, so it can be confirmed that they are traitors of the White Lotus Sect."
Zhu Youjian snorted coldly:
"Sure enough, it was a traitor who wiped out the Shangshu Mansion, leaving no one behind."
"obey"
Chapter 7
Qinglong Ah Qing led Jin Yiwei, and killed anyone they saw in the Shangshu Mansion. These two were first-class swordsmen. Although there were many people in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, after half an hour, there were almost no survivors.Some people could not survive even if they tried their best to escape from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War. There were Jinyi Guards and East and West Factory Guards outside the mansion. Anyone who escaped would be beheaded.
On the eve of the war, many people closed their doors. No one would have thought that so many Ming officials in the entire capital would be ransacked and beheaded on this night.
In the mansions of officials and dignitaries that should have been very lively, blood flowed like rivers, and no one was left behind.
It wasn't that Zhu Youjian was cruel, there was no other way, he not only had to find enough money to exchange for points, but he also had to be on guard against spies in the city at all times.
He only has one day, and he can't take care of many things. He must not let these rebellious cartilages respond internally.
Holding the steel knife that was still dripping blood, Qinglong quickly came to Zhu Youjian to ask for instructions:
"Your Majesty, do you want to burn down the Shangshu Mansion?"
Zhu Youjian stared:
"Qinglong remember, don't destroy my Daming brick by brick."
"Yes"
Originally, Qinglong wanted to burn down all the mansions of these people, but Zhu Youjian stopped him.
Daming is short of money now, and after repelling the rebels, he will appoint a new Minister of the Ministry of War in the future. Keeping the Minister's Mansion intact can save a huge amount of expenses.
While Zhu Youjian was racing against the clock to grab money and earn points, Li Zicheng's insiders were not idle either. His insiders were some officials of Daming and the members of the Bailian sect.first launch.. ..
The White Lotus Sect entered the capital before Li Zicheng's troops came to the city. The condition they reached with Li Zicheng was to make the White Lotus Sect the state religion of Dashun.
The White Lotus Sect helped Li Zicheng instigate rebellion against high-ranking Ming officials in the capital. In history, the reason why Li Zicheng entered the capital so easily was also related to this.
You must know how tragic the battle Li Zicheng experienced in the small Daizhou before entering the capital.
Zhou Ji, the general guard of the pass, defended the city with thousands of people, and faced Li Zicheng's so-called million-strong army. The two sides fought for more than ten days.
In the end, Zhou Ji's soldiers ran out of food, and retreated to Ningwuguan to resist the enemy with all their strength. As a result, they ran out of gunpowder, opened the city gate and fought hard, and died.
After Zhou Ji's death in battle, his wife Liu led some [-] women, still desperately killing the enemy, and finally went to the roof to shoot, but they were all burnt to death.
With Zhou Ji's example, Li Zicheng estimated that the capital would be more difficult to break through, and it might take several months, so he reached an agreement with the White Lotus Sect.
When the war started, Li Zicheng stormed outside the city, and the White Lotus Sect and their rebellious Ming officials responded internally, attacking the capital from both inside and outside, and destroying Daming in one fell swoop.
Dingguo Mansion is also very lively at this time.
"Dingguo, don't worry, as long as King Chuang enters the capital, he will definitely not treat you badly. At that time, he will most likely return to Xi'an, which is the best place for him to build his capital."
"King Chuang not only guarantees your current official positions, but when the army leaves the capital, the capital will also be handed over to you. At that time, the capital will not be yours."
"That's right, I believe that King Chuang will not treat us badly. Instead of following Emperor Chongzhen without dying or living, it is better to work hard and follow King Chuang."
"Mr. Dingguo, I think what Xinxianghou and Duke Ying said is very reasonable. Don't hesitate, everyone. Tomorrow we will lead our generals to join forces with King Chuang..."
In Dingguogong's meeting hall, several people were discussing how to cooperate with Li Zicheng to break through the capital. They were Dingguogong Xu Yunzhen, Xu Yingxinxianghou, Funinghou Zhu Guobi.
Beside these people, there are three people sitting. These three people are the three major protectors of the White Lotus Sect, and the eight protectors of the White Lotus Sect, three of them appeared tonight.
It has to be said that the White Lotus Sect is very attentive to Li Zicheng's affairs. They have been brainwashing and giving lessons to these nobles of the Ming Dynasty for three consecutive days.
As a result, an agreement was finally reached tonight. When Li Zicheng attacked the city, these nobles of the Ming Dynasty led their families and generals to cooperate with the Chuang army to break the city.
Next, these people began to formulate a specific course of action and time, and handed over the blueprints of the guards of the capital to the three major protectors of the White Lotus Sect.
Minister of War
"Your Majesty, we have something important to report."
After the three of Zhu Youjian bloodbathed the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, a factory guard rushed to report to Zhu Youjian and hurriedly asked:
"whats the matter?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, we found the Guardians of the White Lotus Sect in Duke Ding's Mansion, and they are discussing with those ministers about their plan of rebellion."
"What? Take us there quickly."
Zhu Youjian was taken aback. This kind of thing was even more thrilling than what was seen in history. The nobles of the Ming Dynasty even took the initiative to conspire against each other without donating money.
If it wasn't for grabbing money to earn points tonight and discovering these things, he wouldn't even know about being attacked by these people in the big battle tomorrow.
They all have families of soldiers and generals, and some families have as many as a thousand people. These people are very experienced fighters. They do not eat state salaries, but only obey the master's dispatch.
If Zhu Youjian was attacked from the inside by these people, he would be terrified after thinking about it, and the four of them rushed to Dingguo's mansion.
In the dark place not far from Duke Dingguo's mansion, Cao Zhengchun was waiting here. When he saw Zhu Youjian coming, he hurried to meet him.
"See Your Majesty."
"Wait, what's going on?"
"Weichen was worried that these people would transfer their family property, sneaked into the mansion quietly, and ambushed on the roof, trying to secretly listen to what they said.
It turned out that several princes were inside, as well as traitors from the White Lotus Sect. They were discussing the matter of cooperating with others, so I asked the emperor for instructions. "
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly told Zhu Youjian what happened.
Zhu Youjian smiled coldly:
"Don't take me seriously at all, and do things unscrupulously. In the past, this kind of matter would definitely be discussed in the secret room, and no one would be left behind."
"obey"
"Little ones, surround Dingguo's mansion with our family, and kill all those who leave the mansion on the spot."
