Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 930 Scarlet Imperial Capital 3
Just taking a look, Zhou Ruhu agreed with the group of guards who blocked Cao Huachun: It is really inconvenient for Empress Zhou to see that dead eunuch now, just dealing with such a group of people is enough for her.

So many people came to see Empress Zhou, not to talk about clothing and food with her. The content of their conversation now is shocking. Once it is leaked, even if it is just a little bit, it will cause a terrible storm inside and outside the court, and these courts present The important minister is even more infamous for thousands of years!As for the couple sitting across from Empress Zhou... I'm afraid it's not as simple as leaving a bad smell for thousands of years, it's so bad!

Later, Zhou Ruhu found out that the two old guys who dared to be so rude to the queen were the father-in-law and the mother-in-law. They were both relatives of the emperor!
Now it is the mother of the country who is speaking: "Daughter, if you still recognize me as a mother, please be obedient and make an edict of kindness as the new king, so that our family can have a good ending! Are you so stubborn that you want to kill everyone? Ah? I'm so mad!"

Zhou Ruhu was stunned, the mother of the country can do it, a woman interfering in the state affairs can speak confidently, as if the mother is bossing her daughter... Well, it is indeed the mother who is bossing her daughter now, but the daughter's status It's unusual, she is a queen who is under one person and above ten thousand people, even my mother can't talk to her like this!

It could be seen that the empress was trying to suppress the anger in her heart, her voice was trembling slightly: "Mother, don't say any more, this matter is absolutely impossible, even if I die, I will not agree!"

Zhou Guozhang poked his crutches hard on the ground, making a loud noise, his gray beard trembled, and shouted: "It doesn't matter if you die, don't implicate our Zhou family! The Qing army has already hit the outskirts of the capital, and you are still like this!" Stubbornness is simply hopeless!"

The mother of the country said: "Now the entire capital is in danger, the Ming Dynasty is about to fall, and our Zhou family is in great trouble. The only way out is to make the third prince the new king, and then Zen is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can we keep you, you Why don't you understand now!"

Concubine Yuan sneered: "Keep my sister? I'm afraid that what you want to keep is not your sister, but the glory and wealth of your Zhou family, right? You really can, the emperor gave you such a lofty status, allowing you to enjoy all the glory and wealth. I asked you to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver as military pay when the country was exhausted and the state affairs were rotten. Give up the entire Daming country to Jiannu, so as to keep your status! I have seen it through, so in your eyes, the Daming country is not worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

Concubine Yuan has a good relationship with the empress, like sisters, and she is a few years younger than the empress, and she is quite favored in the harem. Naturally, she is not afraid of anything. She was so angry that she pointed at the nose of the head of the country and the mother of the country and just squirted wildly!Although Zhou Guozhang said that his skin was already thicker than a shield, he still blushed after being sprayed like this by this little girl. He glared at Concubine Yuan and said, "This is my Zhou family's business, what has it got to do with you!"

Concubine Yuan sneered: "When did such a major event as abolishing and establishing a new monarch become your Zhou family's family affairs?" She pointed at Zhou Guo's husband and wife, "You..." Then she pointed at Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong and other important officials, "You..." Finger Pointing at these important ministers one by one, they fell on Zhang Pu, Qian Qianyi and others. They looked angry and said loudly: "And you are all rebellious officials and thieves! You are full of benevolence and morality, and you keep pleading for the people, but you say Do one thing and do another! Internally, you have no ability to let the people recuperate and make the country prosperous and strong. Externally, you have no ability to defend against the enemy outside the country and to wash away the national humiliation. You will only fight for power and profit, corrupt the law! The emperor uses you hypocrites to govern the country. Really blind!"

All the ministers present changed their countenance, and Zhang Pu yelled: "Yaofei, you dare to utter wild words when disaster is approaching!? If you hadn't used sweet words to confuse the Holy Majesty, how could the Holy Majesty have rashly launched the Northern Expedition, so that the entire army was wiped out! You alone You buried hundreds of thousands of fighting soldiers of Ming Dynasty, caused the enemy troops to approach the city, and the country is about to be destroyed, so you just don’t know how to reflect on it, and you are still uttering wild words here, turning black and white?"

Concubine Yuan's eyes were about to burst into flames, she glared at Zhang Pu, and almost shouted: "Your surname, Zhang, don't spout blood! Just ask the people in the palace, has this palace ever intervened in state affairs?" One word!"

Zhang Pu sneered, Qian Qianyi sneered, Wen Tiren sneered, all civil servants sneered, looking at Concubine Yuan as if looking at a fool.Have you ever interjected, did you seduce the Holy One and bring about the disaster of the country, when will it be your turn to decide?For thousands of years, they have been the ones with pens who have the final say, okay?This big country will perish if it says it will perish, and no one will come forward to take the responsibility, it will definitely not work, and this responsibility must not be carried by honest gentlemen like them. Responsibility has been pushed to the "beautiful beauty", and Concubine Yuan seems to be a good choice!

Concubine Yuan guessed what they were planning from their cold smiles, her pretty face turned pale, her expression frightened, she took two steps back, and said in a low voice: "Yes, you still have some skills... to bully A woman's ability! Colluding with foreign enemies to sell the entire country in exchange for their own glory and wealth, and then pushing all the crimes on women, attribute the root cause of the country's subjugation to beauty disasters, and pass it down from generation to generation until everyone is convinced...You guys That’s all I can do, I’m bah!”

Wen Tiren said sadly: "Imperial Concubine, don't you think you talk too much? A talkative woman will never end well! Someone, take the Imperial Concubine down and let her calm down!"

Immediately, two Kong Wu's powerful palace guards entered, each holding Concubine Yuan with one hand and dragging her out.Concubine Yuan knew that these wolves were ready to kill, once she was dragged out, she would not be able to survive, so she struggled hard, but how could a weak girl be any match for two court guards with high martial arts skills?Her feet were dragged off the ground, no matter how much she struggled and kicked, it was useless, and she screamed: "Sister save me! Sister save me!" The queen jumped up and shouted: "Stop! Stop!" The third prince was so frightened that Hao Tao burst into tears, and the whole palace was in chaos.

Zhou Ruhu saw that his hands and feet were cold, blood was running through his pupils, his brain was buzzing, his breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't swallow it, he just wanted to laugh out loud -- this is Daming's courtier!This is the pillar of Daming!With such "talent of pillars", how can the Ming Dynasty not perish!

Father, father, you are risking your life to defend Tangshan, but you are protecting such a group of people, is it worth it! ?

Now Zhou Ruhu just feels disheartened and lazy, he just wants to crash in and kill these bastards completely, and then walk away, rushing back to Tangshan overnight to tell Zhou Yuji all this, the father and son don't care about anything, after breaking out of the encirclement, they will fly away , this rotten dynasty, whoever loves to protect will protect, Uncle Zhou will not serve you anymore!But a team of palace guards drove over, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he could only suppress his anger and continue watching.

Now the queen is in a mess. Concubine Yuan has a very good relationship with her, and she loves her sisters. She has been by her side all this time. When she was bullied by the officials, Concubine Yuan tried her best to stand in front of her and speak for her. How could I just watch Concubine Yuan die!She yelled repeatedly to ask the palace guards to let Concubine Yuan go, but no one listened to her, so she had no choice but to go up and snatch him away, while Zhou Guozhang and Guo Mu rushed over and grabbed the third prince with one hand to take the child out of her arms take away.The child was terrified and crying at the top of his lungs, but his grandparents ignored it, didn't even care if they would dislocate the child's arm joints, and just wanted to grab him.This scene also happened more than 20 years ago. Zhu Changluo passed away bizarrely one month after he ascended the throne. The young Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne. Immediately, an extremely fierce conflict broke out between the officials and the harem, and Zhu Youxiao was regarded as a doll. In the end, the gentlemen of Donglin won the battle and snatched Zhu Youxiao from Li Xuan's servant, without giving the harem any chance to interfere in political affairs.Now the ministers obviously want to do the same, regardless of whether the queen agrees or not, first grab the person over and talk about it!As long as the person is snatched over, everything will be easy to handle. If it is not possible, the queen will also die strangely, and then the officials will support the third prince to ascend the throne.

Power is the most terrible poison. Once it is stained, you are reluctant to let go. In order to get it, family affection and so on can be thrown away as garbage!Now Guozhang Zhou has been obsessed with power. For himself, for the future of the Zhou family, he completely ignored his daughter's tears and pleadings, and his grandson's cries. He just wanted to snatch the third prince over!The queen is in a dilemma. If she goes to protect Concubine Yuan, her son will be taken away, but if she doesn't go to protect Concubine Yuan, this good sister will die, and she may not be able to keep her son in the end. Now she is really like She is as hopeless and helpless as a sheep that has fallen into a wolf's den.Seeing that Concubine Yuan was about to be dragged out of the door, her son cried out in pain and cried heart-piercingly. She broke her heart and pushed Zhou Guozhang back several steps, hissing: " Stop it for me!" The voice was so shrill that it made people's heart tremble, and even the two palace guards stopped involuntarily.

Zhou Guozhang was pushed back by the queen and almost fell. He was startled at first, and then became furious. He hit the queen with his crutch and cursed: "How dare you fight against my father, you cheap maid? I raised you in vain." You! I'll beat you to death, you bitch! I'll beat you to death, you bitch!" The crutch fell on the queen, making a loud noise, and the blow was quite cruel. The queen bit her lip and did not dodge or evade, saying nothing. , braced himself with two crutches, and looked at the abbot coldly, as if he were a stranger.This cold gaze made the abbot's heart tremble, and his crutch stopped in mid-air, unable to fall any further.Among so many people, he is the only one who can boss around the queen by virtue of his status as the head of the country, beating and scolding him. The emperor is gone and the Ming Dynasty is about to perish. It’s okay for him to show off his power. It’s just that his daughter looks at strangers like that now. Looking at him with human eyes, he felt a sense of fear in his heart, and he could no longer shake his majesty.

The queen said in a hoarse voice, "Hit, hit, I... am I really your daughter? Do you still see me as a daughter in your eyes now?"

Guiltyly, Zhou Guozhang took half a step back, and said, "Of course you are my daughter! But no matter how stubborn you are, you won't listen to harsh advice, and you insist on killing everyone. For the sake of the world, and for the sake of the father, you can only kill your relatives righteously! "

The queen sneered coldly: "Murder for the sake of righteousness? Do you really know what it means to kill relatives righteously?" She forced a step forward, and the mother of the country also took a big step back in fright. Her hair was disheveled and her face was pale, but her eyes were as sharp as knives With a vicious lioness fighting a male lion to protect her cubs, her voice resounded throughout the palace: "You don't know, right? It doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll teach you!" Before everyone could react, she There was an extra cold dagger in his hand, which was placed on the third prince's neck!This dagger is only half a foot long, very compact, but the whole body is blue and bluish, obviously poisoned, as long as it cuts a little bit of skin, it will definitely kill it!
This change happened so suddenly that everyone was frightened and let out an exclamation, and the third prince was so frightened that he couldn't even cry.Empress Zhou wiped the tears off her son's face with her sleeve, and said softly, "Jiong'er, do you still remember the stories Wei Niang told you?"

The third prince tremblingly said: "Remember... I remember, my mother said that the last emperor was the most bleak, and the children of the last emperor were worse than death. None of them will end well..."

The queen asked: "Then, are you willing to be the last emperor who ruined the foundation of your ancestors, bears the eternal infamy, and is bullied by the usurpers in every possible way, and finally dies unhappily?"

The third prince blurted out: "I don't want to!"

The queen said: "Mother doesn't want to see you end up like this, don't blame mother for being cruel... Close your eyes, mother will take you to find your father, with him here, these bad guys will not dare to bully our mother and son. Good boy, don't be afraid, you are a descendant of the Zhu family, take courage, it won't hurt, it will pass soon..."

The third prince closed his eyes blankly.The queen exerted little force and pressed the dagger on her son's neck. Her expression was always calm, so calm that it made everyone present tremble. She was so calm that everyone realized that she would really kill this child!It's not that she is cruel, it's not that she doesn't care about her children. On the contrary, it is precisely because she loves her children that she does this. She cannot bear to see her children become puppets, ruining the Ming Dynasty and taking the blame for these rebellious officials and traitors. After being infamous for eternity, he died in an unknown manner!Instead of letting the child become the king of subjugation, making the world ineffective every day, making him unable to live or die, it is better to free him as soon as possible!
cruel?It was cruel, but she had no choice, and neither did her children!
