Acting for the gods

Chapter 133 Stop it, King Xin, there are Jinyiwei outside!
Zhu Youjian knew that the general situation was over, but he was still unwilling, with madness in his eyes, he shouted loudly: "Kill, fight for this king, kill the false emperor, wipe out the eunuchs, we have a chance of survival."

"kill!"

As Xin Wang's cronies took the lead in the charge, the accompanying soldiers could only charge and kill despite their doubts and hesitation.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan thought to himself, "What a prodigal!"

The Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, and Zhu Youjian is still thinking about forcibly breaking into the battle now, which is really harming others and himself.

However, when the two armies were fighting, Jiang Fan was unambiguous and gave the order immediately.

"Fire arrows!"

With an order, thousands of bowstrings blew together, and countless feathered arrows flew towards the rebels in the front row.

Among the rebels, there were only a few hundred shield bearers, and they all raised their shields to block.

But at this time, their troops were in a state of confusion, some were rushing forward, some were retreating, and they could not form an effective defensive formation at all. Wherever they were opponents, after only a few rounds of shooting, they were beaten to pieces and defeated.

The blame is only Zhu Youjian's headstrong self-willed, who obviously doesn't understand military affairs, and still commanding indiscriminately. It would be fine if he fought with the wind, but once he was defeated, he would have no power to fight back.

Countless soldiers fell under the rain of arrows, piles of corpses filled with blood.

At this time, Zhu Youjian realized that he had made a wrong judgment.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Youjian was suddenly out of breath and almost fainted on the ground.

He knew that he was doomed, and he could never recover the situation.

Wang Cheng'en on the side said: "My lord, hurry up and evacuate the capital quickly. I will hold them back. As long as they are alive, there is still hope."

Zhu Youjian nodded with a pale face. He suddenly thought that Lu Wenzhao still had two thousand Jinyiwei who could be mobilized. With the help of these people, he should be able to fight a bloody road.

As long as you can live, you may not be able to make a comeback.

But as soon as he thought of this, an arrow shot towards him, knocking Zhu Youjian off his horse.

"Protect the king."

Wang Chengenhu stood in front of Zhu Youjian and called for soldiers to guard him.

There are not many followers.

Seeing that there were not many resisters left, Jiang Fan ordered: "Stop attacking."

The crossbowmen stopped firing and waited for orders.

Zhu Youxiao said a few words to Wang Gonggong, Wang Gonggong nodded, and said in a clear voice: "The emperor ordered that all the soldiers were bewitched and were coerced here. I feel that you are serving the country with all your strength. I hereby pardon all the soldiers. Don't make mistakes again." wrong."

Seeing that the general situation was over, most of the rebels didn't want to fight for a long time. When they heard the oral order, some people shouted immediately.

"The guilty minister accepts the order and implores the emperor to forgive the crime."

Under the leadership of a general, the surrounding soldiers put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

The rebels surrendered one after another, leaving only a small number of soldiers guarding Zhu Youjian.

Knowing that he was helpless, Zhu Youjian, the king of Xin who was injured, was pale and sat on the ground decadently.

Wang Chengen never left, and said to Ding Baiying who was beside him: "Ding Baiying, quickly take the prince away, we must keep the prince safe."

Ding Baiying nodded, and supported Zhu Youjian to walk towards the palace gate.

At this time, Lu Wenzhao appeared at the gate of the palace with a group of Jinyi guards.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian was overjoyed, but before he had time to be happy, he heard Lu Wenzhao say, "Shut up, King Xin, there are Jinyiwei outside!"

At the same time, Ding Baiying made a sudden move and put the long knife on Zhu Youjian's neck: "I'm sorry, my lord."

"How dare you betray me?"

Zhu Youjian stared at her angrily, and then suddenly said: "Lu Wenzhao, Ding Baiying, you capricious villains, I should have killed you long ago!"

"My lord, you can't say that. My senior brother and I really wanted to be loyal to your lord at the beginning, but you are narrow-minded and jealous, and you have no tolerance for others. In order to achieve your goal, you can give up even the one you love at any time."

"In your eyes, the life and death of us little people is insignificant. If we don't find another way out, I'm afraid you will be the first to get rid of us after you succeed."

"It's you who are unkind, so don't blame me for being unrighteous. After all, we little people want to live."

Ding Baiying's words can be said to be murderous.

Zhu Youjian's original idea was indeed the case. As soon as he took office, he would immediately clean up Lu Wenzhao and others. He didn't want to leave any flaws.

It's just that he didn't expect that the other party had already sensed his thoughts and turned against the general!
Ding Baiying brought the injured Zhu Youjian to join Lu Wenzhao, Xin Wang was captured, and Wang Chengen knew that everything was over, so he gave up resistance.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Jiang Fan waved his hand, Jin Yiwei stepped forward, confiscated the weapons, and took down all the rebels.

Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying escorted King Xin to the front, and looked at Zhu Youxiao: "The guilty minister Lu Wenzhao and his younger sister Ding Baiying were ordered to lurk beside King Xin. King Xin has been arrested, please let the emperor know."

"You did a good job, I will reward you for your merit later on."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, motioned for the two to back down, and then looked at Zhu Youjian: "Why are you bothering?"

He really couldn't understand why Zhu Youjian had to rebel?

Now that he has no heirs, and he is already weak and sick, he has worked hard all these years in order to improve the government, adjust taxes, strengthen the country, and then hand over a stable and prosperous Ming Dynasty to his younger brother.

But the reality disappointed him. Zhu Youjian didn't understand his elder brother's painstaking efforts at all, and he wanted to seize the throne.

How can such a person take over Daming Jiangshan?

"Why? Hahaha~"

Knowing that he would not end well, Zhu Youjian smiled miserably, and simply expressed the distress in his heart: "I just refuse to accept, why did you become emperor when you were born a few years earlier than me, and I am just a powerless person?" King Xin? How am I inferior to you?"

"In front of you, I have to be loyal and filial. In front of officials, I have to behave. In front of eunuchs, I have to pretend to be a fool. Do you know how I got here all these years?"

"But you, as the emperor, are obsessed with carpentry, abandoned the government, and favored the eunuch party. Do you know what the people outside are called Wei Eun? Call him nine thousand nine hundred years old. If things go on like this, my Ming Dynasty will not be in danger!"

"Since you don't want to be a good emperor, why can't I replace you? I did this for Daming!"

At the end, Zhu Youjian's voice became more and more sad and angry.

A glint of anger flashed across Zhu Youxiao's face, and he yelled, "Presumptuous!"

"The way of the king, the way of employing people, can control people's hearts, and only then can they control the world."

"Loyal minister, precious!"

"But villains are sometimes more loyal than loyal ministers."

"At the beginning of my succession, there were constant factions in the imperial court. There were empress dowagers staring at each other outside, and there were refugees in chaos. Isn't it a matter of benefiting the country and the people?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian with hatred for iron and steel: "Who can tell the difference between kingship, country, benevolence and righteousness, and the world, can you?"

For this stupid younger brother, Zhu Youxiao was extremely disappointed.

Back then, the young Zhu Youjian once asked Zhu Youxiao: "You are the emperor, can I do it?"

At that time, Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile: "Yes, after I do it for a few years, I will do it for you."

In Zhu Youxiao's heart, he actually didn't want to be an emperor, but he was born in the royal family, and he needs to shoulder the responsibilities of the royal family.

These years of hard work, dragging his weak body while doing carpentry and handling government affairs, isn't it for the purpose of letting Zhu Youjian take over a powerful Ming Dynasty?
As long as the Donglin Party is suppressed, the national taxation is adjusted, and the civil uprising is quelled, the Houjin outside the customs will be nothing to fear.

At that time, the eunuch party will be disbanded, the power will be returned to the government, and the army will be integrated to go out and fight against gold. In this way, Ming Dynasty will be able to enjoy peace for at least several decades.

At that time, he abdicated to let the virtuous, and the young and powerful Zhu Youjian succeeded him. What's wrong with being a conservative king?
But even if Zhu Youxiao had intended to abdicate a long time ago and planned to "abdicate to the virtuous", it must be led by Zhu Youxiao.

If I don't give it to you, you can't take it!

This is the rule!

It is a big taboo to kill the king and usurp the throne. Even if Zhu Youjian can succeed in proclaiming himself emperor, I am afraid that the people of the world will cast aside him as a traitor.

With a good hand of cards, let Zhu Youjian play like this, with an awe-inspiring attitude, who gave you face?
As for those rebel generals and officials, they were all kneeling on the ground at this moment, not daring to breathe.

They all regret it now, but it's a pity that it's too late to regret it!
Seeing that Zhu Youjian was speechless, Zhu Youxiao sighed and ordered: "Send all the officials and generals who committed the crime to the Dongchang Heavenly Prison, and the Dali Temple, Sanfa Division and Dongchang will jointly try them."

"The surrendered soldiers were escorted back to the Beijing camp, waiting to be released."

What can't be broken can't be built. For these incompetent and greedy officials, we should take a good look at it.

The evidence of Donglin's rebellious party's rebellion is conclusive, and it's basically just going through the motions.

As for the letter king Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and said: "Send Xin Wang Zhu Youjian to the Xin Wang Mansion for confinement, and order Hong Tai Physician to go and treat him."

Zhu Youxiao is still soft-hearted. In terms of cruelty, he is indeed inferior to Zhu Youjian.

Lu Wenzhao and others were somewhat dissatisfied with the result of this treatment.

They betrayed the king of Xin. Once the king of Xin survived, they might still have a chance to ascend to the throne. How could they survive by then?

You have a deep brotherhood, and you can't put those of us who are working hard underneath on the fire!

But Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, and they are disobeying orders now, they are seeking their own death, so that they can only curse the two brothers in their hearts for nothing.

Jiang Fan was also dissatisfied with the result.

Looking at the countless low-level soldiers who were killed and injured in the palace, he felt that the punishment for Xin Wang Zhu Youjian was too easy.

In Game of Thrones, it is the soldiers at the bottom who suffer the most casualties.

Many of them don't even know why they fight, they just follow orders from their superiors.

In the end, he worked so hard and lost his life for no reason, but the most damned Zhu Youjian got out of his body. Is this fair?
Perhaps Zhu Youxiao did it out of brotherly love, or there may be other considerations.

But Jiang Fan doesn't care about that, he doesn't like to give up halfway.

Either don't do it, or do it if you want to do it.

"Zhenzi-Thunder!"

The seal was formed in the dark, and suddenly thunder was born in the void, a thunder pierced through the darkness, and hit the sky spirit cover of Xinwang Zhu Youjian.
