The Most Powerful Man in the World

Xu Li was dressed in silk and satin, with a ruddy complexion and a staff hat. His face was full of shock and anger. Seeing that Wang Yidao and others were no longer afraid, he immediately pointed at Wang Yidao and roared, "You guys. It can be seen that our Xu family has long since surrendered to His Royal Highness King Ning, so why don't you leave me quickly!"

Wang Yidao frowned and looked at Xu Li.

To be honest, Wang Yidao really didn't expect to grab a big family's home casually, but the other party had already taken refuge with King Ning, and Wang Yidao suddenly hesitated.

The lieutenant standing beside Wang Yidao whispered to Wang Yidao's ear and said, "General, since you have offended the other party, let's just slaughter the Xu family, and then plant the blame on the collapsed army of the imperial court. On the one hand, it avoids future troubles, and on the other hand, it also allows the brothers to vent..."

Although the deputy general's voice was not loud, Xu Li still heard it clearly, his eyes widened with horror on his face, and he said in a trembling voice, "You...you..."

Wang Yidao narrowed his eyes, slashed at Xu Li with a long knife in his hand, and shouted, "Kill me, sons!"

Even if Xu Li, the leader of the nursing home, reacted, he was just an ordinary nursing home leader in the final analysis. Where is the opponent of the crazy rebels, the Xu family suffered a disaster in the blink of an eye.

These rebels burned, killed, looted, and even raped in the Xu family. In less than a stick of incense, the originally orderly Xu family fell into chaos.

There are definitely not a few dignitaries and gentry's families like the Xu family. Some of them relied on their family members to keep off the chaotic army, but most of them suffered directly from bad luck.

The chaos in the city was naturally spread to King Ning at the first time.

King Ning was not in a hurry to enter the city. After all, it was not long after Nanjing City was captured, and even the imperial army in the city was not completely wiped out. During the period of safety, King Ning remained outside the city.

In the big tent, King Ning and the others could not help frowning when they heard the news from the messenger in the city.

King Ning waved his hand to signal the messenger to retreat, then coughed lightly and looked at the crowd: "What do you think about this?"

A civil servant stepped forward and said, "I also ask Your Highness to immediately order to stop the army from wanton looting in the city. It should be noted that this Nanjing city may be the capital of His Royal Highness in the future. The most important thing is that His Royal Highness is very likely to lose the support of the powerful and noble in Jiangnan!"

King Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Tinghe, Liu Yangzheng, and Li Shishi subconsciously.

[The first one is sent, please support. 】

Yang Tinghe coughed lightly: "His Royal Highness, what Lord Hu said is very true, please also ask His Highness to immediately give an order to restrain the military discipline of the army in the city!"

As for Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi, they naturally have the same request.

King Ning's order was conveyed, and a crowd was thrown back, leaving Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and other real confidants of King Ning in the big tent.

Looking at Li Shishi, Ning Wang said, "Mr. Li seems to have something to say just now. There are no outsiders here, so you might as well speak bluntly."

Obviously, Ning Wang just noticed that Li Shishi's expression was strange. At this moment, all of his confidants were left in the tent, so he was very curious as to what Li Shishi had to say.

Li Shishi took a deep breath, glanced at a few people, and finally his eyes fell on King Ning, and he spoke in a low voice.

King Ning couldn't help but his eyes lit up, while the others looked at Li Shishi with frightened eyes, each of them secretly amazed, Li Shishi was so sinister, he even suggested that King Ning take the opportunity to send some troops to destroy the city. Some high-ranking dignitaries and gentry families then framed it on the collapsed army of the imperial court.

Li Shishi said after a week: "His Royal Highness, I consider everything for Your Highness. If you don't remove these powerful dignitaries and tyrants with too much influence, I am worried that Your Highness will not be able to control Nanjing City at all!"

I have to say that Li Shishi is really thinking about King Ning, and it is precisely because of this that none of the people present dared to stand up.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that although Li Shishi's suggestion is a bit vicious, the benefits to King Ning are very obvious.

If they stood up against it at this time, wouldn't it make King Ning think they were disloyal to him?

King Ning narrowed his eyes, nodded slowly, took a step towards Li Shishi, took Li Shishi's hand and clapped: "Sir, I think about the king wholeheartedly, the day this king ascends the throne, I will definitely live up to the king!"

Li Shishi said with joy in his heart: "This subordinate is willing to serve His Highness!"

He helped Li Shishi up, and King Ning took a deep breath and said, "This matter must be carried out in secret, and you should bring three thousand personal guards of this king. Remember, you must do what you do without knowing it!"

Dongfang Min, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, stroked his beard, his face filled with joy, and beside him, several officials also looked towards Dongfang Min with joyful expressions: "Congratulations, Mr. Dongfang, congratulations, Mr. Dongfang, this time King Ning entered the city, It can be said that Master Dongfang has contributed greatly!"

With a proud look on Dongfang's face, he said with a humble look: "Several adults are just joking, and this official is just doing his best!"

Hearing this, an official stroked his beard and said, "Master Dongfang is too arrogant. Who doesn't know that the Dongfang family is a wealthy family in Nanjing City, especially since the adults have a wide range of friends, and there are many officials in the Sixth Department of Nanjing. I don’t know the name of Lord Dongfang, I believe that when King Ning enters the city, he will definitely come to the door and ask the Lord to help him achieve his great cause!”

"Then it goes without saying that Lord Dongfang can persuade dozens of officials by himself. It's hard to say that Ning Wang establishes a country. At that time, Dongfang people will at least have to give Lord Dongfang an elder position!"

Just as these people were talking loudly there, with a bang, the gate of the Dongfang family mansion was smashed open by a group of soldiers like wolves.

Li Shishi waved his hand and shouted: "Kill them all for me, don't let anyone go!"

The chaos in the front yard quickly alerted Dongfang Min and the others. They walked out of the hall, just in time to see Li Shishi leading a group of soldiers.

Seeing Li Shishi, Dongfang Min couldn't help but be stunned. You must know that Li Shishi came to ask to see Dongfang Min in person, but Dongfang Min quickly reacted and looked at Li Shishi doubtfully and said, "Mr. Li Shishi, you are..."

Several other officials who were close to Dongfang Min didn't know Dongfang Min. At this moment, when Dongfang Min called Li Shishi, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed surprise. If they were not worried about Dongfang Min, they were afraid they would go up. Hug Li Shishi's thigh.

With King Ning raising his army, now who doesn't know the names of several powerful confidants under King Ning, among them Li Shishi.

Several officials watched Li Shishi personally lead the troops to the Dongfang family with envy. They secretly thought that this time Dongfang Min was really going to rise to prominence. King Ning actually sent Li Shishi to personally lead the army to protect the safety of the Dongfang family.

Obviously, these people saw Li Shishi leading the army, and subconsciously thought that Li Shishi came under the order of King Ning to protect the Dongfang family from being harmed by the chaotic army.

Li Shishi glanced at Dongfang Min indifferently, and bowed slightly at Dongfang Min, "Master Dongfang, Li is here to send Master Dongfang on his way!"

Dongfang Min couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, looked at Li Shishi doubtfully and said, "What do you mean by Mr. Li?"

At this moment, a scream came, and a servant of the Dongfang family was slashed to death by a soldier. Dongfang Min couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this situation.

Not to mention Dongfang Min was stunned, even the other officials looked at the servant who fell to the ground and the murderous soldiers, and finally their eyes fell on Li Shishi's indifferent face.

Li Shishi sighed softly: "Master Dongfang has contributed to the great cause of the lord, but unfortunately, the influence of the lord Dongfang is too great. If you keep the lord, the lord is afraid that he will not be able to use it, so he also asks the lord to serve the lord for the last time."

Speaking of which, Li Shishi ignored Dongfang Min's wide-open eyes, his face full of disbelief, and directed at Dongfang Min for a week to get off the air and said, "Please also invite Master Dongfang to go on the road. Go with the adults..."

"Ah, Zhu Chenhao is so vicious..."

Li Shishi straightened up, waved his hand and said, "Kill, Lord Dongfang's entire residence was killed by the imperial rebels. Poor Lord Dongfang is dedicated to running for the great cause of the prince, but he suffered this great disaster before he saw the prince ascend to the throne. The lord will not forget the credit of Lord Dongfang!"

The other officials were all stunned and dumbfounded. Seeing the group of soldiers pounce on them like wolves, they immediately fell to their knees 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 Nanjing, more than a dozen dignitaries and gentry's homes that had been entrenched in Nanjing for hundreds of years were razed to the ground by the chaotic army, and there were almost no survivors left.

On the second day, the red sun rose, and after the chaos in the middle of the night, under the restraint of King Ning's army, the army that entered the city was either stunned by the bloody head, or had enough looting, and finally stopped. hand.

So on the second day, apart from the bloody atmosphere, the entire Nanjing city regained its former tranquility, but at least half of the people in the city suffered from the disaster. Except for the powerful and tyrannical gentry, not many people appeared at all.

The killing in the middle of the night was really astonishing. It took Jiangnan Chengping for more than a hundred years. Even if Chu Yi started a massacre in Nanjing at the beginning, the killings were rolling in, but for a family of ordinary people, no matter how much Chu Yi killed. If they couldn't kill them, they were able to join in the fun.

But the military chaos last night made them still fresh in their memory, and I don't know how many people are still afraid when they think about it.

If they weren't alive enough, I'm afraid they would have been wiped out by the rebel army like their neighbors by now.

Near the south gate that King Ning chose to enter the city, a large number of the city's dignitaries and gentry gathered, and many people appeared on both sides of the street whether they wanted to or not, and they looked like they were welcome.

The first person to enter the city was a team of King Ning's guards that looked bloody. Last night, Li Shishi led this guard to slaughter more than a dozen houses in the city, and the blood was strong.

Ning Wang's frame slowly marched into the city of Nanjing, and wherever it passed, the people on both sides knelt down and bowed.

Sitting on the carriage, looking at the people kneeling all around, as they walked to the former imperial palace in Nanjing, hundreds of nobles, dignitaries, and officials all bowed to King Ning: "We welcome Your Highness, long live Your Highness, long live, Long live!"

For a while, King Ning only felt that the goal he had worked hard for was in front of him, and after calculating for most of his life, he finally achieved what he wanted.

Taking a deep breath, King Ning said slowly: "All the ministers stand up and don't bow!"

Although it is said that no friend has ascended to the throne yet, King Ning has made no secret of his ambitions and has automatically entered the role, imitating the actions of the Son of Heaven in every move.

As a node of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Huai'an can be regarded as a prosperous city with the convenience of the Grand Canal.

Huai'an is hundreds of miles away from Nanjing, and it has been nearly half a month since Chu Yi was away from Beijing. At this moment, the imperial army led by Chu Yi was just arriving in Huai'an.

Along the Grand Canal, if the wind is smooth, the distance of hundreds of miles is only one or two days' journey at most. In fact, the distance between Chu Yi and Nanjing City is only two or three days' journey.

As a result, Chu Yi left the capital slowly, obviously as a reinforcement. Ordinarily, it should be fast, day and night, but Chu Yi's journey was stop-and-go. If he didn't know that he was preparing to rescue Nanjing, he would have thought that this was the case. It was Chu Yi wandering around.

The [-] Jingying soldiers and horses were even ordered by Chu Yi to disembark and set up camp on land for daily drills.

At the beginning, there were still generals who wrote to Chu Yi to speed up the march, but after a few times, seeing that Chu Yi had no intention of speeding up the march at all, these generals had to vent their frustrations on their soldiers. Soldiers.

Yu Huatian saw Chu Yi sitting there, flipping through a scroll of ancient books in his hand, and he couldn't help but turn into a phantom and rushed towards Chu Yi in an instant.

Seeing Chu Yi waved his long sleeves, stretched out his hand and picked up a chess piece, flicked his fingers, only to hear a muffled groan, Yu Huatian suddenly appeared, fell ten feet in front of Chu Yi, and bowed his head. When he opened his hand and looked, he saw that the chess piece was being held in his hand, but the palm of his hand was bright red, obviously injured by a piece of Chu Yi's hand.

[The second one is sent for support. 】

Chapter 360 Let's see him build a tall building! 【3 more】

Taking a step forward, Yu Huatian placed the chess piece on the chessboard, and said with a wry smile: "The master's cultivation has become more and more unfathomable, but it is far less advanced!"

Looking at Yu Huatian lightly, Chu Yi turned over a page of classics and said, "Could it be that there is some news from Nanjing City?"

You must know that if Yuhuatian said that there was nothing important on weekdays, under normal circumstances, he would not come to see Chu Yi.

Appearing in front of him at this moment, needless to say, there must be something.

Yu Huatian's expression was straight, and he bowed his hands and said: "Just now, the people of Jinyiwei heard news that King Ning has already conquered Nanjing City, and he became emperor on the second day after entering the city, and he named himself Emperor Mingwu Emperor!"

Chu Yi raised his brows when he heard the words, tapped the book in his hand lightly on the palm of his hand, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Emperor Wu? You can really win the big tomorrow with your martial arts and martial arts!"

Yuhuatian said with a sarcastic look: "Zhu Chenhao established the Nanming Dynasty, and passed the decree to the world, abolishing the emperor's throne of the current Son of Heaven, calling the Son of Heaven a false emperor, and conferring a large number of ministers..."

Saying that, Yu Huatian looked at Chu Yi and said, "Professor, Zhu Chenhao is too arrogant. We have been away from Beijing for a long time. If His Majesty is stimulated by Zhu Chenhao's pseudo-emperor edict..."

Chu Yi let out a breath slowly, turned his eyes to Nanjing City and said, "Zhu Chenhao did not live up to the high hopes of the Governor, and finally broke Nanjing City, and gathered a large number of people who were dissatisfied with the imperial court. Gather together, the Governor has been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Hearing Chu Yi's words, Yu Huatian's eyes lit up and said, "Professor, are we going to send troops to Nanjing City?"

Chu Yi got up, stretched his waist and said, "If the Governor doesn't go again, Zhu Chenhao still doesn't know how arrogant he will be!"

There was a burst of hurried footsteps, and I saw Lin Pingzhi approaching quickly and bowed to Chu Yi: "Return to the superintendent, Nanjing guard eunuch, Fan Heng, Wei Guogong Xu Fu asks to see you!"

Chu Yi smiled slightly: "Please come in!"

Soon Fan Heng and Xu Chu came over, and it could be seen that both Fan Heng and Xu Chu looked extremely tired. It was obvious that they had escaped from Nanjing City and were able to escape all the way under the pursuit of King Ning's men. It's not easy to get to Huai'an.

When he saw Chu Yi, Fan Heng couldn't help his eyes lit up, he stepped forward and bowed to Chu Yi: "Fan Heng has seen the chief executive, the chief executive Chitose!"

Xu Huo is also a dignified prince, so naturally he won't ignore it like Fan Heng. He has to be concerned about his face no matter what, so he bowed his hands to Chu Yi and said, "I've seen the chief!"

Chu Yi smiled and said, "The two of you sit down and talk."

After greeting and sitting down, Chu Yi looked at the two of them and said, "This governor is discussing with Lord Yu about sending troops, and the two happened to be coming from Nanjing City. Why don't you tell me what is going on in Nanjing City? A scene is also good for the Governor's reference."

Glancing at each other, Xu Chu took a deep breath and said, "General Manager, Xu is incompetent and has been indebted to the emperor, but he was unable to defend Nanjing City, so that I, the Ming Emperor, fell into the hands of the anti-king."

Seeing this, Chu Yi comforted Xu Fu and said: "Why did the old prince say this, as far as Chu knows, the old prince has already tried his best to defend against the rebels, it's just that there are too many people in Jiangnan who have lost the favor of the emperor, and even took the initiative to collude. To oppose Wang Zhu Chenhao, Nanjing City has lost, and although the old prince is at fault, he is excusable!"

Xu Chu looked at Chu Yi with a firm look on his face and said, "Please also ask the chief executive to allow Xu to go to Nanjing City with the chief executive. The old man is willing to help the chief executive to retake Nanjing city, and make merit in order to atone for his sins!"

Chu Yi looked at Xu Chu, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he slowly shook his head and said, "The old prince is already old, and if His Majesty knew about his loyalty and patriotism, he would be very pleased, but before this time Go, the good or the bad is unknown, if the old prince has any accident, how will the governor explain to His Majesty, so the old prince should go to the capital by boat!"

Xu Chu wanted to go back to Nanjing with him, and Chu Yi could not have been more clear.

Wei Guogong's lineage is really deeply rooted in Nanjing City.
