Having said that, Luo Yangxing rushed in with many masked rebels. The few Xiaoqi guarding the door hurriedly formed a row to block Zhu Ling and the ministers. But with just a few of them, what could they do?
Can you defeat so many rebels?
The situation now has reached its most critical moment. No one thought that the leader of the rebels was Luo Yangxing, the former commander of the Imperial Guard! When they saw Luo Yangxing holding a bloody knife, he led a group of masked men to kill a man behind him.
The moment Xiaoqi broke into the back hall, the ministers could not hide their surprise.
When the ministers saw the thief breaking in, they instantly became confused and scrambled to retreat subconsciously. But behind them was Zhu Ling, Your Majesty. They subconsciously protected Zhu Ling in the center, but their expressions and movements were panicked.
, which also made Luo Yangxing laugh.
"Hahahaha, it turns out that you are also such cowardly people! I listened to everyone's eloquent talks in the court, but I never thought that when a sharp blade was placed in front of you, you would be so scared that you would pee!"
Luo Yangxing waved his hand, and the thieves behind him quickly came forward and surrounded the entire back hall. Each of them had a fierce look in their eyes, and a terrifying cold light emanated from the long knives in their hands, threatening everyone, and seemed to declare
It’s about everyone’s future in the next moment.
"Luo Yangxing! Rebellious traitor!" Although Wu Linzheng, as a young minister of Taichang Temple, did not have much real power, he did not show much fear of these traitors in his heart. Instead, he was a little tough because His Majesty was here, and immediately dismissed him.
He pushed aside several ministers and stood at the front. He pointed at Luo Yangxing and scolded him.
"The imperial court gives you a salary and your majesty gives you favors, but you treat the imperial court and your majesty like this! You don't feel ashamed?"
Seeing being scolded by an unknown soldier, Luo Yangxing was not annoyed at all. He inserted the knife into the ground with his backhand, took a step forward and said coldly to Wu Linzheng: "King Chuang is right, this Ming Dynasty has already exhausted its energy.
, you and I are not stupid people. Although King Chuang did not attack the city, you can still live for a few more days, but once King Chuang attacks the city, you?"
He pointed his finger at everyone, swept around, then stopped in mid-air pointing at Zhu Ling, and continued: "At that time, you, and of course His Majesty, will have no chance to surrender. Here today, I will give you a personal
Chances are, if anyone says "Long live Dashun" today, I will let you go and run out of the city. If not? Then don't blame me for being cruel."
After the words fell, the ministers immediately rose up to refute. No one was willing to agree to this matter. For them, if they did such a thing, wouldn't they be like the traitor? This sentence immediately made the quiet ministers extremely angry. Many of them were angry.
People pointed at Luo Yangxing and cursed him on the spot. The eighteen generations of his ancestors were even scolded to the point of being scolded.
Especially the censors, who gave full play to their power of words, scolded Luo Yangxing. From top to bottom, they spit and danced, and almost everyone was scolded by them.
Throughout the whole process, Zhu Ling was surrounded in the center and did not say a word. He was just watching Luo Yangxing's performance quietly. He also knew in his heart that he just wanted to humiliate him before killing him. As the saying goes, killing kills the heart.
, for a person, the best way to torture him is to make him hate himself before killing him.
Obviously, this is what Luo Yangxing did, but he would never have imagined that the officials in front of him were almost all officials who sacrificed their lives for their country in history. No one who surrendered and knelt down to seek peace thought about letting them do it before you.
Kneel down in front of a traitor? It's simply a fantasy. It's too simplistic for these officials of the Ming Dynasty.
"Luo Yangxin."
Zhu Ling finally spoke, but his words could not be more plain. Luo Yangxing thought that His Majesty would be so angry that he would even point at him and curse in front of the ministers. If at this time someone suddenly knelt down and shouted "Long live Dashun"
", His Majesty's face was also thrown to the ground.
Who would have thought that His Majesty would be so indifferent? Do you really think you can still be saved?
"Your Majesty, I finally called you Your Majesty because you did give me a lot of treatment and rewards. However, Your Majesty ordered my former subordinates to send me directly to the prison without saying anything. Could it be that you relied on Your Majesty's intuition?
?”
Speaking of this, Luo Yangxing, who had always been cold and ruthless, was somewhat moved, and his words contained a lot of sadness.
Yes, Luo Yangxing did lead troops to resist for a while, and finally surrendered after breaking into the city. Thirty thousand taels of silver were found in the house. This was really a lot more incorruptible for Mr. Chen Ge, who always regarded himself as honest and patriotic.
But what Zhu Ling pays attention to is that if you surrender, you will surrender. If such people suddenly turn against each other when encountering a critical moment in the future, wouldn't they, who are already in trouble, be even more in danger?
He did not want to encounter such a situation in the future. The Ming Dynasty had no shortage of scholars and never lacked talented people. If it was known in advance that this person would eventually surrender, why not use those who would not surrender?
"Let me ask you, if intruders invade the capital, will you surrender or not? If slaves invade the capital and you are given a greater official position, will you surrender or not? You have great power, I will tell you! As long as I
If the Ming Dynasty does not die for a day, the Ming Dynasty will never fall."
Zhu Ling's words became more and more threatening as he spoke, and he actually forced Luo Yangxing to question him without saying a word.
He gently pushed away the crowd, took a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps you already have the answer in your heart. Since the city is broken, why do you still resist? Why not surrender and gain a good future?"
"But I tell you, these officials of the Ming Dynasty in front of you will not do this. I can tell you responsibly that if the capital is breached and I hang myself to death, they will also leave with me!"
What does the prophecy rely on? It relies on the history that I have read as a time traveler.
After hearing this, all the ministers lifted their clothes and wiped away tears. They had complained a lot about His Majesty's actions before, but they never thought that Your Majesty would value them so much and regard them as loyal ministers.
Today's words refer to them as the last officials of the Ming Dynasty. With such an honor, wouldn't you shed tears? Wouldn't you be grateful for His Majesty's gift?
Luo Yangxing fell into deep thought after hearing this. He was also a minister of the Ming Dynasty not long ago. Today, he became a rebel, but he was ignored by your majesty, and he was taken seriously by the rebels. But as your majesty said, if the capital is destroyed, he himself
Is it really possible to die for the Ming Dynasty together with the country? Are you determined not to be a trespasser or a slave builder?
He didn't know, and he didn't want to know. Although he had some thoughts, he quickly cheered up. His current identity is a rebel, so what if he won't die for his country? If a man doesn't do it for himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth. If I let go now
Sword, won’t it be at your mercy?
"Zhu Youjian!"
Unprecedented and unprecedented, a traitor who was once a minister of the Ming Dynasty actually called out His Majesty's name in court! This is not only a capital crime, but also treason! If you are still a minister of the Ming Dynasty, the nine tribes will be annihilated.
When the ministers heard these shocking words, they immediately became furious. Your Majesty just valued us so much. Now you slander His Majesty and even call His Majesty by his name. This is really a crime for both man and god!
In an instant, the scene became restless. The ministers no longer retreated as timidly as before, but immediately became excited. They looked at Luo Yangxing with such fierce eyes that they immediately rushed forward and skinned him alive.
And Luo Yangxing seemed to have felt the anger of these officials, which was somewhat similar to the feeling he had after the battle of Tumubao before the commander Ma Shun was killed. If these civil servants swarmed up, even if he had his subordinates to protect him, he would not be able to protect himself.
I'm also afraid that I won't be injured.
He immediately pulled out the Xiuchun knife, took a few steps back, and finally said unwillingly: "Everyone, I want to ask for the last time, is there anyone willing to kneel down and shout long live Dashun? If so, I can let him go.
But if not, the butcher knife in my hand will fall on your heads!"
"Come on! I'm afraid of you? You're just a traitor. If you don't die today, you will get retribution sooner or later!"
"Kill me! As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, there is no fear of death!"
"Today, I will protect your majesty's safety. If you want to kill your majesty, you must first step over my body!"
Immediately, the ministers took a few steps forward and cursed at Luo Yangxing and others. They were not afraid of the swords in their hands at all. They stepped forward with a life-and-death attitude. However, this attitude made Luo Yangxing and others fearful.
He took a few steps back.
Seeing such a scene, Zhu Ling made some calculations in his mind. He thought that Luo Yangxing would kill people directly if he entered the inner hall, but he didn't expect that he would be delayed here for such a long time. If Wen Yao and the others were not surprised, they would probably be killed by this time.
Meng Zhaoxiang's Beijing camp will arrive soon.
Just wait a little longer!
Unexpectedly, Luo Yangxing, who was forced back a few steps by the ministers, could no longer bear the humiliation and immediately shouted: "Kill them!"
"Let's see who dares!"
