"This is a disorderly order, and someone is not obeying the imperial edict!"

The moment these cold words burst out from Zhu Guoqiang's throat, everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide in shock.

He, what did he say?

Not to mention Wang Liangdong who was dumbfounded, even Xu Wenjue, Zhao Zhilong, Xie Sheng and others were dumbfounded.

Not following the edict?

What does this mean?

Is he trying to rebel?

At this moment, more than a dozen generals including Wang Ziye, Sun Zhi, Hu Shoujin, Shen Bao, Li Du, and Cao Hu led hundreds of soldiers in armor and barged in. After hearing the news, they shouted loudly as soon as they entered the door. road.

"Don't let anyone go!"

For a moment, Wang Liangdong was dumbfounded. He stared at Prince De with wide eyes and said in shock.

"You, you..."

"Your Majesty, the last general has already led the troops into the city. As long as he gives the order, the last general will..."

Before Wang Ziye could finish his words, Zhu Guoqiang shouted sharply.

"Presumptuous, what do you want to do!"

Staring at Wang Ziye, Zhu Guoqiang shouted.

"Master Shizi!"

"You are loyal to a certain country, do you want to fall into disloyalty to a certain country?"

After the reprimand, Zhu Guoqiang shouted loudly.

"Take them to Xiaoling. I want the people of the world and Emperor Gao to see them. They..."

Pointing at Xu Wenjue and others, Zhu Guoqiang said loudly.

"What did they do one by one!"

…

There was already a sea of ​​people outside the Yamen. Most of them were officers and soldiers wearing sheepskin short coats and mandarin duck jackets. There were also some common people attracted by the noise.

In fact, on the way from the city gate to the Yamen Hall, dozens of honorable ministers and hundreds of officials were shouting something like "The Prince of De is plotting rebellion and wants to kill him and usurp the throne", thereby expressing his disapproval. The people said that they were loyal ministers and righteous men, but Prince De was just an ambitious and rebellious person.

Although the people in Nanjing were frightened and panicked when the slaves came, they were afraid of the slaves, but not the officers and soldiers. Maybe they didn't dare to make as much noise as those people, but it didn't stop them from following them to watch. lively.

Many people came!

In fact, there are many officials among the people who came. They also came, but most of them were officials without decision-making power. They did not wear official uniforms, but wore common people's clothes. In fact, most of the time, these southern gangsters, None of them wore official robes. After all, it would be inconvenient to wear official robes when visiting brothels or entering art boats. After they heard the news, they naturally followed them. Among these people, there were many supervisors and scholars from the Imperial College. Among them was Gong Tingxiang, who came with his classmates and was also aggrieved.

Of course, what made him angry was not Prince De, but the shamelessness of Nanjing’s ministers and officials. Prince De led troops to rescue Nanjing and fought with the Donglu outside the city for several days. He finally defeated the Donglu, only to be rejected. Outside the gate, those people were extremely shameless, and what was even more irritating was that the emperor actually wanted to imprison Prince De in the high walls of Zhongdu.

This is simply the greatest injustice in the world!

The noble ministers are shameless, the officials are despicable, and even the emperor is extremely confused!

Of course, they heard all this news on the way to Xiaoling. Of course, they didn't know that Zhu Guoqiang specially ordered people to spread this news. For what reason?

Just to tell the people of Nanjing what happened in Nanjing today.

public opinion!

is very important!

Someone shouted loudly over there.

"The prince is out!"

"The prince is out!"

"Your Majesty..."

Some people have seen Prince De coming out of the Xiaoling Mausoleum on horseback. They all shouted and paid homage to him. Compared with Nanjing’s honorable ministers and officials, ordinary people’s feelings for Prince De were sincere. They knew that Nanjing The city was able to be saved, thanks to Prince De’s troops coming to the rescue.

But the emperor was so stupid that he actually wanted to imprison such a person who had made great contributions to the country behind the high walls of Zhongdu.

Zhu Guoqiang was riding on horseback. He first looked at the people around him and bowed their hands in salute, and then asked loudly to the officers and soldiers in front of the mausoleum:

"Soldiers, please tell me where we rushed back to Nanjing from!"

"From Liaodong!"

As soon as the gatekeeper's soldiers spoke, there was a look of shock all around. All the officials and people looked at Prince De in astonishment.

They rushed back from Liaodong? Isn't he in Yangzhou?

"Why are we going to Liaodong!"

"Slave can come, and I can go, to Liaodong, directly attack Huanglong, corrupt Liaodong, and kill hundreds of thousands of slaves in Shenyang!"

When the roars of the officers and soldiers ended, the people who were originally shocked all stood up one after another and looked up at Prince De on the horse.

At this moment, I saw someone holding out a tray with a skull prominently placed on it. Although the sky was full of haze and the sky was dark, people standing further away could not see the skull clearly. Only those standing in front could see it. It became clear and I was stunned at the moment.

"This is the skull of the thief chief Nurhachi. Today I present it in front of the soul of Emperor Gao. I ask the spirit of Emperor Gao in heaven to see clearly how absurd it is to have unfilial descendants, how they prey on the people and extort officials and people... Emperor Gao!"

After a long roar, Zhu Guoqiang spoke again, loudly.

"Emperor Gao! Zhu Ciying, the unfilial son and grandson, led eight thousand troops south to fight the captives at the end of last year. Since the dispatch of the troops, he has made many achievements. He first annihilated more than a thousand elite cavalry of slaves in Shandong, and then re-established slaves under Xuzhou City... …However, the ministers in the court misunderstood me, and did not hesitate to alienate relatives and vassals in order to gain a reputation for themselves. They impeached me for my unfaithful intentions and ordered me to go to Yangzhou to deal with the crime. The only way for unfilial descendants to prove their innocence is to die. However, if the Eastern Han Dynasty invades, what will happen to the unfilial descendants? Can you care about national affairs? You can only lead 20,000 troops to attack Liaodong from the north by sea, take Shenyang directly, kill tens of thousands of slaves in the city, and capture the puppet empress, puppet concubines, dozens of puppet princes, and the families of the puppet ministers. More than a thousand descendants..."

The people around him heard Prince De's words word for word. Some people among the people kept repeating his words loudly, over and over again, so that people outside Xiaoling could hear clearly. Along the way, he was guided to say The common people who were grievances against Prince De all became indignant.

They heard Prince De's full of grievances, how his innocent heart had been ruined, how such a loyal and loyal minister was going to be imprisoned in the high walls of Zhongdu, how stupid this emperor must be.

"Taizu Gao Emperor clearly understood that he was unfilial to his descendants. He only knew how to kill slaves and save the people. He didn't know what it meant to be good at increasing soldiers. He didn't know what it meant to be good at killing corrupt officials. He didn't know what it meant to extort profiteers. He was unfilial to his descendants. Today, he offered the heads of captive chiefs to the soul of Emperor Gao. Come on, please give me a clear warning from Emperor Gao! If your unfilial descendants are wrong, your unfilial descendants are willing to bind themselves before the soul of Emperor Gao. Emperor Gao..."

Another long roar!

The people around him all heard his grievances from this roar.

How absurd is this world to be like this?

The people gathered outside Xiaoling began to think about it!

The prince in front of me is really not simple!

He used the fire from the sky to guard Jinan, but on the way south, he repeatedly defeated Jiannu. He even killed the Jiannu who was so frightening that he was out of his mind outside the city!

Starting from Jinan last year, how many great things has Prince Reed accomplished in the past year or so?

This ability is nothing more than the reincarnation of Emperor Gao!

In comparison, the current emperor is simply a coward!

yes!

If it weren't for the Hunjun, how could he have allowed the Donglu invaders to invade again and again, and even kill all the way to the south of the Yangtze River and Nanjing, killing millions of people. Not only that, but even the Hunjun was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and wanted to kill De, who had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

The prince was imprisoned behind a high wall.

Of course, those honorable ministers and officials are not a joke. They are simply extremely shameless. Prince De came to rescue them with kindness. It was good for them. Not only did they collude with Jianu to dedicate the city, but even after Prince De defeated Jianu, he also sent them to the city.

Blocked outside the door.

What else can Prince De do besides telling his grievances to his ancestors?

Of course, not everyone was deceived by Zhu Guoqiang. There were also many officials and scholars who had already seen through that Zhu Ciying was inciting people's hearts. But before they could stand up and expose Prince De's wolfish ambition, someone had already taken the lead in cheering.

.

"Nowadays, we are ignorant and ignorant. Please, Prince De, inherit the throne! Today, we are ignorant and ignorant. Please, Prince De, inherit the throne!"

Then more people cheered.

"I am ignorant and ignorant today. Please inherit the throne from Prince De."

After I don't know who shouted this, the surrounding area suddenly burst into excitement and everyone cheered.

"I am ignorant and ignorant today, please Prince De to inherit the throne!"

The cheers of the people certainly made some people tremble with anger, but they also knew that no matter what they said or did, no one would hear or care.

Now is the time when public opinion is overwhelming and the people are agitated. No one’s words are of any use!

Outside the Yamen, there were only cheers!

Seeing the excitement in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang thought a lot at this moment. He even believed that as long as he was willing, these common people could queue him up into the palace in Nanjing to the place where Zhu Yuanzhang once sat.

On the Dragon Throne.

Is now the time?

Now all this is too sudden. Even he himself did not expect that the people would shout such a sentence so suddenly. It is definitely not a good thing to sit on the dragon throne rashly before being prepared.

Son. Even in Huai'an and Shandong, there are still 200,000 troops loyal to Chongzhen. Now sit on that dragon's chair, what will happen?

The time is still not mature enough.

But now is the time to break up! Even if he breaks up, he must... have a suitable reason.

He nodded silently and then said loudly.

"I, Zhu Ciying, have thanked the people for their love and care. Throughout the ages, emperors with virtues have lived here. However, I have the emperor in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor can be deceived by treacherous ministers, but he will never do anything unjust. Now I want to go to Xiaoling to pay my respects.

Emperor Gao, offer the heads of captives in front of the mausoleum to comfort Emperor Gao's spirit in heaven and wash away the sins of his unfilial descendants for allowing slaves to invade the country thousands of miles away..."

After that, Zhu Guoqiang ordered the surrounding soldiers:

"Lead the horse! Go to Xiaoling!"
Chapter completed!
