Yang Tinghe coughed slightly and said: "Your Highness, what Mr. Hu said is true. Please give your Highness an immediate order to restrain the military discipline of the army in the city!"
As for Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and others naturally made the same request.
King Ning's order was passed on, and everyone was dismissed. Only Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and several other true confidants of King Ning were left in the tent.
Looking at Li Shishi, Ning Wang said: "Mr. Li seemed to have something to say just now. There are no outsiders here right now, so you might as well just speak up."
Apparently, King Ning had just noticed Li Shishi's strange expression. Now all the people left in the tent were his confidants, so he was very curious about what Li Shishi had to say.
Li Shishi took a deep breath, glanced at several people, and finally his eyes fell on Prince Ning, speaking in a low voice.
King Ning couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, while others looked at Li Shishi with frightened eyes. They all secretly exclaimed that Li Shishi was so sinister. He even suggested that King Ning take the opportunity to send some troops to destroy the city.
Some highly respected dignitaries and wealthy gentry families then framed it on the imperial court's defeated army.
Li Shishi bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, I consider everything for Your Highness. If we don't get rid of these influential dignitaries and gentry, I am worried that Your Highness will not be able to control the city of Nanjing at all!"
It has to be said that Li Shishi was really thinking about Prince Ning, and it was precisely because of this that no one in the room dared to stand up.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that although Li Shishi's suggestion is a bit cruel, the benefits to Prince Ning are very obvious.
If they stood up to oppose at this time, wouldn't it make Prince Ning think that they were disloyal to him?
Prince Ning narrowed his eyes, nodded slowly, took a step forward towards Li Shishi, took Li Shishi's hand, patted it and said, "Sir, I am devoted to my consideration. On the day when I ascend the throne, I will definitely live up to you!"
Li Shishi was overjoyed and said: "I am willing to do your best for Your Highness!"
After lifting Li Shishi up, Prince Ning took a deep breath and said, "This matter must be carried out secretly. You should take my three thousand personal guards there. Remember, you must do it without anyone noticing!"
Dongfang Min, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stroked his beard and his face was filled with joy. Beside him, several officials also looked at Dongfang Min with joyful faces and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Dongfang, congratulations to Mr. Dongfang. This time King Ning enters the city.
Mr. Dongfang has made an indispensable contribution!"
Dongfang had a proud look on his face and said humbly: "A few of the adults were joking, and I was just trying my best!"
An official stroked his beard after hearing this and said: "Master Dongfang is too self-effacing. Who doesn't know that the Dongfang family is one of the most wealthy families in Nanjing city? Especially since you have a wide circle of friends and many officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing.
I don’t know the name of Master Dongfang, but I believe that when Prince Ning enters the city, he will definitely come to your door in person to ask for your help in achieving his great cause!"
"It goes without saying that Mr. Dongfang can persuade dozens of officials alone. If King Ning cannot establish a country, Dongfang people will at least give Mr. Dongfang the position of elder!"
Just as these people were chatting there, there was a loud bang, and the door of the Dongfang family's mansion was knocked open by a group of wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers.
Li Shishi waved his hand and shouted: "Kill them all, don't let anyone go!"
The chaos in the front yard soon alerted Dongfang Min and others. They walked out of the hall and saw Li Shishi leading a group of soldiers over.
Seeing Li Shishi, Dongfang Min couldn't help but be startled. You must know that Li Shishi personally came to ask to see Dongfang Min. However, Dongfang Min quickly reacted and looked at Li Shishi doubtfully and said: "Mr. Li Shishi, what are you..."
Several other officials who were good friends with Dongfang Min did not know Dongfang Min. When they heard Dongfang Min calling Li Shishi, they were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed surprise. If they were not worried about Dongfang Min, they might have wanted to go up.
I hugged Li Shishi’s thigh.
With King Ning raising his troops, who doesn't know the names of several of King Ning's most capable confidants, including Li Shishi?
Several officials saw Li Shishi personally leading troops to the Dongfang family, and they all felt envious in their hearts. They secretly thought that Dongfang Min was really going to be successful this time, and King Ning actually sent Li Shishi to personally lead the army to protect the safety of the Dongfang family.
Apparently when these people saw Li Shishi leading his army, they subconsciously thought that Li Shishi came under the order of King Ning to protect the Dongfang family from being harmed by the rebel army.
Li Shishi glanced at Dongfang Min lightly, slightly arched his hands towards Dongfang Min and said, "Master Dongfang, Li is here to send Master Dongfang on his way!"
Dongfang Min couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He looked at Li Shishi doubtfully and said, "What do you mean by Mr. Li's words?"
At this moment, a scream came out, and a servant of the Dongfang family was slashed to death by a soldier. Dongfang Min couldn't help but open his eyes wide when he saw this situation.
Not to mention Dongfang Min was stunned, even several other officials were looking at the servant who fell on the ground and the brutal soldiers, and finally their eyes fell on Li Shishi's cold face.
Li Shishi sighed softly and said: "Master Dongfang has contributed to the prince's great cause, but it is a pity that Master Dongfang has too much influence. If you keep your master, the prince may not be able to use it, so I ask you to serve the prince one last time."
As he spoke, Li Shishi opened his eyes wide regardless of Dongfang Min, with a look of disbelief on his face, and bowed to Dongfang Min and said in the air: "Master Dongfang, please go on your way, Li will make sure that the Dongfang family is in order, and no one is left behind."
Just go with the adults..."
"Ah, Zhu Chenhao is so cruel..."
Li Shishi straightened his body, waved his hand and said: "Kill, Lord Dongfang's whole family was killed by the imperial army. It's pitiful that Lord Dongfang devoted himself to the great cause of the prince, but he didn't have time to see the prince ascend the throne and suffered such a disaster.
Your Majesty will never forget Master Dongfang’s contribution!”
The other officials were all frightened. Seeing the group of soldiers rushing towards them like wolves and tigers, they immediately knelt down and begged.
It's a pity that Li Shishi made up his mind to kill everyone, so how could he let these people go?
That night, in the city of Nanjing, the houses of more than a dozen dignitaries who had been entrenched in Nanjing for hundreds of years were razed to the ground by the rebels, leaving almost no one alive.
On the second day, the red sun rose. After the chaos in the middle of the night, under the restraint of King Ning's military order, the army that entered the city was either restrained by the bloody heads, or they had looted enough and finally stopped.
hand.
So the next day, apart from the strong smell of blood, the entire city of Nanjing returned to its former peace. However, at least half of the households in the city had suffered military disasters. For the grand ceremony of King Ning entering the city, except for those who were eager to hug King Ning's thighs,
Apart from the dignitaries and gentry, there were not many common people at all.
The killings in the middle of the night were really shocking. Jiangnan has been at peace for hundreds of years. Even if Chu Yi went on a killing spree in Nanjing and killed hundreds of people, for ordinary people, no matter how many people Chu Yi killed,
If you can't kill them, they can join in the fun.
However, the military turmoil last night was still fresh in their memories, and I don’t know how many people still feel scared when they think about it.
If they hadn't been lucky enough, they would have been wiped out by the rebel army just like their neighbors.
Near the south gate that King Ning chose to enter the city, a large number of the city's dignitaries and gentry gathered. Whether they were willing or unwilling, many people appeared on both sides of the street, giving a complete welcome.
The first person to enter the city was a group of Prince Ning's personal guards who looked full of blood. Last night, Li Shishi led this bodyguard to massacre more than a dozen houses in the city. The blood was very strong.
Prince Ning's carriage slowly marched through the city of Nanjing. Wherever it passed, people on both sides knelt down and worshiped.
Sitting on the carriage, looking at the people kneeling around him, when they arrived in front of the former imperial palace in Nanjing City, hundreds of gentry, dignitaries, and officials all bowed to King Ning: "We respectfully welcome His Highness, long live His Highness, long live,
Long live!"
For a moment, Prince Ning felt that the goal he had worked hard for was right in front of him. He had been planning for most of his life and finally achieved what he wanted.
Taking a deep breath, Prince Ning said slowly: "Everyone, please stand up and show no courtesy!"
Although his best friend has not yet ascended the throne, Prince Ning has made no secret of his ambitions and has automatically stepped into the role, imitating the emperor's actions in every move.
As a node of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Huai'an can be considered prosperous as it is connected to the Grand Canal.
Huai'an is hundreds of miles away from Nanjing, and it has been nearly half a month since Chu Yi left the capital. At this moment, the imperial army led by Chu Yi has just arrived in Huai'an.
Along the Grand Canal, if the wind and water go smoothly, the distance of hundreds of miles is only a day or two at most. In fact, the distance between Chu Yi and Nanjing is only two or three days.
As a result, Chu Yi slowly left the capital, obviously as reinforcements. Normally, he should have traveled at full speed, day and night, but Chu Yi stopped and stopped along the way. If he didn't know that he was preparing to rescue Nanjing City, he would have thought that this was the case.
It's Chu Yi who's wandering around.
Twenty thousand troops from the capital camp were even ordered by Chu Yi to disembark and set up camp on land for daily drills.
At first, some generals even wrote to Chu Yi to speed up the march, but after a few times, they saw that Chu Yi had no intention of speeding up the march at all, so these generals had no choice but to vent their frustrations on their soldiers, training as if they were risking their lives.
His soldiers.
When Yu Huatian saw Chu Yi sitting there, holding a volume of classics in his hand and flipping through them, he couldn't help but turn into a phantom and rush towards Chu Yi in an instant.
Chu Yi waved his long sleeves, stretched out his hand to twist a chess piece, and flicked it with his fingers. He heard a muffled grunt. Yu Huatian's figure suddenly appeared, and he dropped down a few feet in front of Chu Yi. He lowered his head and spread it.
When he opened his hand and looked around, he saw that the chess piece was in his hand, but the palm of his hand was bright red, which was obviously injured by Chu Yi's casual move.
