Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Who?"

"Xu Yingyuan."

"That Xu Yingyuan who looks somewhat similar to me? I treat him well. And he is also my personal eunuch. I think he helped me to confuse Wei Zhongxian at the beginning, and finally let me kill Wei thief smoothly. How could he betray me?" Zhu Youjian tried his best to recall the records of Xu Yingyuan in the history books, vaguely remembering that Xu Yingyuan was the hero who helped Zhu Youjian defeat Wei Zhongxian when Chongzhen ascended the throne.

Xu Yingyuan was Wei Zhongxian's friend, but he cheated Wei Zhongxian before the battle, and finally persuaded Wei Zhongxian to take the initiative to hand over power in order to protect himself. As a result, after Wei Zhongxian handed over power, he lost his protection and was finally killed by Chongzhen.He can betray Wei Zhongxian, his friend, so naturally he can betray Zhu Youjian now.Obviously: this person is unreliable!

"How do you know that Xu Yingyuan did it?"

Speculation is one thing, truth may be another.Although Zhu Youjian believed in Wang Chengen, he couldn't just kill another person based on Wang Chengen's words.

"Long Live Lord, just now a little boy has seen Xu Yingyuan coming with Chuang Jun, but he seemed to be wary when he was about to reach the place, and hid halfway. Presumably he hasn't run far, Long Live Lord just needs to follow along Follow up the way Chuangjun came from for a while, the old boy is not fast, he will definitely show up."

"Then hurry up and chase!" Zhu Youjian turned around and ran out after speaking, taking the lead in chasing him out.

Wang Chengen was taken aback, looking at Zhu Youjian who had already run more than ten meters away, he thought to himself: "What happened to the Lord Long Live today? Why did he suddenly change his temperament? Not only did he kill people quickly, but his decisive personality was also completely different from usual."

As Wang Chengen speculated, when Zhu Youjian led the crowd to the mountainside of Meishan, a panting eunuch with a crooked hat came out from behind a big rock, and when he saw Zhu Youjian, he knelt down and said, "Long live!" Lord, this old slave came here to escort him, but he was still one step late, please forgive me, Lord Long Live!"

"You have meritorious escort, how can I blame you. Get up quickly, you are all loyal and good slaves, I am so relieved!" Zhu Youjian did not intend to expose Xu Yingyuan. It is impossible to convict casually.

"Thank you Long Live Lord! I don't know what Long Live Lord wants this old servant to do, and this old slave promises to do it properly for Long Live Lord." Xu Yingyuan just wanted to get away quickly at this moment.

"I didn't bring my seal. You just happened to go to Qianqing Palace for me. I'll be waiting for you here. Get it back immediately."

"I'll get it now, old slave." When Xu Yingyuan heard that the emperor's seal letter was still in Qianqing Palace, he was elated, and immediately went down the mountain and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

Chapter 2: Escape from the Palace

"Wang Chengen, how do you plan to take Zhen out?" Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen, wanting to know Wang Chengen's next move.

"Long live Lord, those little brats under me will fight to find a way out later. These are some children who are not afraid of death. It is their honor to die for the emperor. As long as Long live Lord leaves this imperial city, outside This old slave has several houses where he can hide." Wang Chengen proudly displayed his plan.

Zhu Youjian, who was hurrying down the mountain with Wang Chengen, got a black line on his forehead when he heard the plan.Forcibly breaking into the palace gate and fighting against the Chuangjun, it was obvious that Wang Chengen had overestimated his own strength.

"Good, Wang Chengen," Zhu Youjian said angrily, "Don't you feel sorry for these loyal young people? Although they can die for me, I can't bear to watch them die in vain."

Wang Cheng'en was stunned, before the emperor liked someone to die for him, and also valued loyalty the most, why did he suddenly become a woman's benevolence now?

"Long live, how should we leave the palace?"

"What did you say I look like now?"

"Long live Lord is a bit like the cook of the imperial kitchen now."

"Then let's pretend to be cooks. You go find two sets of cook's clothes now. By the way, explain to these brats that they all change into the clothes of the servants in the palace and disperse out of the palace."

"Then who will protect Lord Long Live?"

"Isn't it enough to have an old guy like you?"

Not long after Xu Yingyuan left, Wang Chengen was looking for two sets of cook's clothes.The two changed in a hurry, washed their faces, and looked at each other to see if there was anything unusual.

"Long live, this is too wronged for you."

"Have you always talked so much nonsense?" Zhu Youjian threw a sword at Wang Chengen and continued: "Hurry up and follow me to Qianqing Palace."

In Qianqing Palace, Xu Yingyuan was still looking for some of Zhu Youjian's personal belongings.He didn't let go of every corner of the entire Qianqing Palace, and even pried open the hidden cabinets to find them confidently.

"Hush!" Zhu Youjian hissed Wang Chengen in a low voice, and the two quietly hid in a corner, opened the window and looked at Xu Yingyuan who was busy everywhere inside.I saw Xu Yingyuan overturned a large cabinet, and took out a small lacquer box from the back of the cabinet. Inside the lacquer box was a seal-like thing carved from Huanglongyu.

Xu Yingyuan breathed a sigh of relief at the seal, and gently covered it in his palm, then glanced at it, and smiled with satisfaction.He wrapped the seal carefully with a brocade handkerchief, took out another seal of similar size from his pocket and put it in a lacquer box, but put the previous Huanglongyu seal back into his pocket.

"Long Live Lord, how dare Xu Yingyuan?" Wang Chengen was obviously very angry at Xu Yingyuan's behavior, and he tightly grasped the window lintel with his excited hands.In a panic, Wang Chengen touched the top rod of the window, and Xu Yingyuan heard the sound.Zhu Youjian immediately dodged and hid in a corner, and pushed Wang Chengen with his hand. Wang Chengen was caught off guard and staggered, and he had already entered the gate of Chengqian Palace.

"Who?" Xu Yingyuan was startled, quickly hid the lacquer box, and touched the seal in his arms.

"Eunuch Xu, what are you hiding in your arms? Take it out and have a look." Wang Chengen obviously didn't intend to let Xu Yingyuan go.

"Eunuch Wang, I advise you not to meddle in your own business." Xu Yingyuan stared fiercely at Wang Chengen's eyes, but quietly touched the waist knife behind his back.

"Phew!" Wang Chengen drew out his sword and rushed towards Xu Yingyuan without any explanation.With a dodge, Xu Yingyuan dodged Wang Chengen's stabbing attack. He didn't care about fighting Wang Chengen, so he ran out of the hall.Both of them were members of the Thirteenth Taibao of Dongchang back then, so they were better than ordinary people.Especially Wang Chengen, this personality is still a bit explosive, people in their 50s do it as soon as they say it, and they don't procrastinate at all.

Xu Yingyuan had just jumped out of the threshold of Qianqing Palace, before his feet hit the ground, his chest was knocked to the ground by a black shadow and a stick.Zhu Youjian hammered Xu Yingyuan over with a stick, then rushed up and kicked Xu Yingyuan's waist knife away, and stepped forward to step on Xu Yingyuan's fat face.Just at this time, Wang Chengen had already run out, and took advantage of the situation to twist Xu Yingyuan's arms.

"I knew you were nothing, and I reminded you. You don't know how to repent! Since you have treated me like this, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he cut Xu Yingyuan's neck with a knife with his right hand.

Wang Chengen was pressing Xu Yingyuan tightly, and was sprayed with blood all over his face, making his whole body smelly.The two buried the seal and important vouchers in a secluded corner of the back garden, and moved a large flower pot to cover it.

"Long live, what about Xu Yingyuan?"

"Put my dragon robe on him, and find a quieter place to fake the illusion of suicide and martyrdom."

"That's not too cheap, old boy."

"If the Chuang army can't find the emperor, will they let us go? If we run away alive, we will leave a dead one for them."

After finishing speaking, Wang Chengen carefully avoided the court ladies and eunuchs running around, and led Zhu Youjian towards a remote palace gate.There are people running around everywhere along the way, and the centuries-old imperial palace is like a pot of boiling water at this moment, abandoning his former tranquility.

"Stop, both of you!" A thunderous shout made Zhu Youjian unconsciously stop his panicked steps.

Seeing that they were about to rush out of the palace gate, a group of intruders appeared out of nowhere, and the leader was a strong man with five big and three thick, who looked quite sturdy.Behind the strong man stood a fat man eight feet long with a full beard. He opened his leather armor, revealing dense chest hair.

Zhu Youjian quickly pulled Wang Chengen's arm hard, took advantage of the situation to pull Wang Chengen to kneel on the ground together, and kept kowtowing: "Master, please forgive me! Please forgive me, hero!"

"Hahaha, General Quan, look, this Daming palace is full of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death." The strong man smiled and said to the hairy man with chest.

"Who are you?" the man called the General asked sullenly.

"Master Huijun, we are the cooks in the palace, the villain is Liu Yinglong, this is my godfather Liu Changshun." Zhu Youjian grabbed Wang Chengen's tightly clenched fist and answered quickly.

"Search." The hairy-chested man said calmly.

Immediately, six soldiers came up and searched Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen all over.

"General, there is no weapon. The old man is eggless and smells of blood."

"Drag it down and chop it up! Don't stain the general's eyes." The strong man said to the hairy man with a flattering face, "General, please, I will accompany you to the harem later."

"I'm wronged! I'm wronged! The little people are just ordinary cooks and fish killers." Zhu Youjian struggled desperately, he didn't want to die with his head in a different place.

"Hurry up and drag it out, don't make noise here." The strong man refused to let go.

Seeing that the group of people were unmoved, Zhu Youjian shouted in a hurry: "The villain knows where there are beauties, so let us go."

"Slow!" General Chest Hair turned his head and said to Chuang Jun who had already dragged the two of them out of the palace, "Drag them back for me."

The fat face of the chest-haired general moved close to Zhu Youjian's ear in an exaggerated manner, puffed out his breath, and asked softly with a stinky smile, "Tell me, where is the beauty?"
