Dominate Marvel

Emperor Chongzhen was reviewing the memorial when he vaguely heard some noise outside. He put down his ink pen, stretched his waist slightly, and said to Wang Chengen who was waiting aside: "Why is there such noise outside the palace? Wang Banban went to take a look. By the way, he ordered the imperial kitchen. Prepare dinner, I will eat at Qianqing Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Chengen bowed and slowly exited, but in a moment he turned back and rushed in, his steps hurried and messy.

Emperor Chongzhen was picking up the ink pen when he heard the sound and raised his head. Before he could speak, he saw Wang Chengen's panicked look and couldn't help but said: "What's going on?!"

Wang Chengen fell to his knees with a thud and shouted: "Your Majesty, Uncle Tian Guo has rebelled!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked confused: "Why did Uncle Tian Guo rebel?"

Wang Chengen said: "Tian Hongyu..."

At this time, rapid and sonorous footsteps came, Tian Hongyu wore armor and entered with a knife!

Emperor Chongzhen stood up immediately!

Tian Hongyu paused, took a deep breath, held his knife and clasped his fists, and said without kneeling: "Your Majesty, please sit down!"

Then he said: "Here comes someone!"

Twenty soldiers in brocade clothes quickly entered and lined up on both sides, watching eagerly.

"There must be no mistakes in protecting your majesty! If your majesty is missing a hair, you will pay for it with your life!"

"Here!"

Emperor Chongzhen was trembling all over and his face turned pale.

"You...you..." He pointed at Tian Hongyu, his heart going blank.

At this point, how come he still doesn't understand the meaning of the phrase 'Uncle Tian Guo has rebelled'?

Going to the palace with swords and shoes, leading troops into the palace, what is this if not rebellion?

However, Emperor Chongzhen could not figure out how Tian Hongyu, as his uncle, could rebel!

Then two Jinyi guards came forward, one of them took one of Emperor Chongzhen's arms, pressed him on the dragon chair, and then stood behind him, motionless.

But Wang Chengen had already been held on one side by the Jin Yiwei, yelling and struggling, unable to break free.

Tian Hongyu let out a long breath and said: "Instruct Wang Sanping and Li Wujiu to bring Wang Dehua and other eunuchs here quickly. Then send the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to Qianqing Palace, saying that Your Majesty has to discuss state affairs."

"Here!"

By this time, the overall situation has been decided.

Tian Hongyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down in the hall, and panted slightly. It sounds so easy to say, but you can imagine the pressure on such a big event. Now that the emperor was in the palace and all the key palace gates in the Forbidden City were under control, he felt relieved and could not help but feel a little weak.

Listening to Wang Chengen's angry scolding in his ears, Tian Hongyu felt extremely peaceful. He waved his hand: "Master Governor, don't waste your efforts. I have come this far and can't look back."

Wang Chengen's scolding stopped suddenly, his hair was disheveled, and he stopped struggling.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen on the dragon throne spoke slowly: "What my uncle did today is unwise. There are people who are rebelling against me in this world, and my uncle alone can't do it. I think that I have never neglected my uncle, and I have also favored him." Concubine Tian, ​​my uncle has no reason to rebel against me."

After Tian Hongyu heard this, he soon sighed: "Your Majesty has no intention of forcing me, but is very kind to me. But time is also destiny, what can I do?"

He slowly got up, stood under the steps, faced Emperor Chongzhen, and said very calmly: "Your Majesty has never neglected state affairs. However, the decline of the country to this point did not happen overnight. Your Majesty is not a hero and cannot turn things around. The situation is over. Since Your Majesty came to the throne, there have been troubles within the country, and they have been suppressed repeatedly, but they have become more and more powerful. Outside, there are Eastern barbarians knocking on the pass, but they have been unable to stop them, allowing the Tartars to wreak havoc and plunder the people. The civil and military corpses of the Manchu Dynasty are not able to govern the country. , Wu can’t fight, what else can we expect?”

Emperor Chongzhen's lips trembled and he could not speak.

Tian Hongyu sighed repeatedly: "I am a relative of the emperor, and I am in solidarity with the country. However, it is precisely because of this that I become more and more trembling, fearing that one day when the country is destroyed, all nine tribes will be destroyed. Your Majesty, I surrender to my lord. No reason. Because my lord will never neglect the Zhu family. My lord has said that your majesty is not a king who will subjugate the country, but is a minister who will subjugate the country in both civil and military affairs. Order me to seal the Forbidden City, protect your majesty, and make sure that the Zhu family is freed from the slaughter."

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sneered when he heard this: "To make people homeless and killed? What a joke. After thousands of years, how can a tribe that has subjugated its country have a good end?"

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen actually begged: "Uncle Tian Guo, if you still remember the slightest benefit from me, just withdraw. Leave a sword behind to give me the last bit of dignity."

"His Majesty!"

Wang Chengen burst into tears.

Tian Hongyu said: "Your Majesty!"

He said: "The matter has come to this, why should Your Majesty do this? Ming Dynasty's death is actually a matter of days, and it cannot be reversed by His Majesty alone. Even if His Majesty dies in this palace, what will it do to the matter? Could it be that His Majesty's death has inspired Jiangnan to resist?"

Tian Hongyu is not a foolish person.

The life and death of Emperor Chongzhen is greatly affected by the current situation. If Emperor Chongzhen lives, Jiangnan will not be able to establish a new king, and the name is not justified. If Emperor Chongzhen was alive and personally announced the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would be of great benefit to Ying Yi. At least the area south of the Yangtze River could not use Ming Dynasty's famous weapons to resist Ying Yi.

If Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, he would die in the palace. There are many excuses everywhere to establish a new king.

Although in any case, for Ying Yi, who has a powerful army, it will not cause an insurmountable obstacle, but for Tian Hongyu, it is natural to achieve perfection. Only in this way can we win more in front of Ying Yi.

"Your Majesty." Tian Hongyu took a breath: "My army is unparalleled. I have annihilated the 40,000 Donglu Abatai army in Qingshan Pass a few days ago, and plan to build a palace outside Shanhaiguan to scare the Donglu. The Donglu are still like this. , far from my lord's rival. No matter how thoughtful your majesty is, what in the world can resist my lord's coming? Over the past thousand years, dynasties have been reincarnated, which is determined by the fate of heaven. After Qin, there was Han, after Han there was Jin, and after Jin Later came the Sui Dynasty, and now, since the Ming Dynasty can no longer be the lord of the world and the leader of the summers, why not obey the laws of heaven? Do you really want to offend my lord and commit murder? "

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became depressed.

On the contrary, Wang Chengen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard Tian Hongyu say: "My lord will arrive at the city tomorrow at the latest. I have to stabilize the situation in the capital overnight. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will arrive later. Please give your Majesty some comfort."

Emperor Chongzhen said nothing.

Tian Hongyu had someone pull up a stool and sat in the hall, speaking bits and pieces of words that even he couldn't understand.

Not long after, Queen Zhou, Concubine Tian and other concubines, princes, and princesses were all held in the palace.

Concubine Tian angrily scolded Tian Hongyu, but Tian Hongyu just laughed.

Of course Concubine Tian didn't know what happened to Tian Hong, but now that the matter has come to this, what else can she do besides scolding her?

Soon, all the eunuchs in the palace were also detained in Qianqing Palace.

There are twenty-four yamen in the palace, with twelve supervisors, four divisions, and eight bureaus. Such as the ceremonial supervisor, the royal horse supervisor, etc. Each prison has a eunuch. Not all eunuchs are called eunuchs. Only those with status and official positions are called eunuchs.

Wang Chengen is now the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department. Since Cao Huachun retired and returned to his hometown, Wang Chengen has been one of the two kings in the palace. The other one is Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Yumajian.
