Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 3 Let's see my thunderbolt method, crooked neck tree
The drama of coercing the palace under his control has just come to an end.

Li Cunming turned his head to look at Zhou Yuji and the others, his heart felt hot.

He had read some history books of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't need to look at them with the eyes of an overlord. He also knew that these people were loyal and loyal, and they were models of loyal ministers who would shine through the ages.

Needless to say, Wang Chengen, when the Ming Dynasty fell, he accompanied Chongzhen to hang himself on the crooked neck tree in Meishan.

As for Zhou Yuji, Li Zicheng led his troops eastward and was invincible. Local civil and military officials surrendered one after another, but he was the only one who resisted desperately.

The battle at Ningwuguan was earth-shattering, and Zhou Yuji once beat Li Zicheng to the point where he wanted to retire.Later, the army was defeated and the pass was broken, and the entire Zhou family sacrificed heroically.

This is the reason why Li Cunming traveled to the Ming Dynasty and immediately ordered Zhou Yuji to enter the King of Jingqin. Zhou Yuji's loyalty is beyond doubt.

Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing committed suicide with their families after the fall of the capital.

Li Cunming's second secret decree was issued to Gong and Liu, ordering them to closely monitor the movements of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

As early as five days ago, Gong and Liu had heard that Zhang Jinyan had gathered many ministers to jointly write a letter of surrender.

At that time, Zhou Yuji's army had not yet reached the capital, so Li Cunming could only hold back.Until today, when the morning court was over, Zhou Yuji was ordered to lead a thousand elite soldiers into the palace quietly to make an ambush, and at the same time, he instructed Gong and Liu to encourage Zhang Jinyan to force the palace.

To be able to play with the self-righteous treacherous officials, one is Li Cunming's strategizing, and the other is relying on the dedicated efforts of these people.

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the loyal ministers!

Li Cunming was filled with emotion, then calmed down and asked calmly: "Did the soldiers of the Jingying really mutiny?"

"The minister found out that it was just a few generals who, under the instigation of Li Guozhen, the governor of the Beijing camp, fanned the flames and encouraged the soldiers to gather a crowd to make noise." Liu Wenbing replied.

Li Cunming said coldly: "The rebellious ministers and thieves have jumped out, let's see my thunderbolt method!"

Throw away the sword with a clang, stand with hands behind your back, and decree:

"Confer Zhou Yuji as Uncle Ning Wu, and lead a thousand troops to guard the Forbidden City."

"Promote Gong Yonggu, the captain-in-law, as the commander of Jinyiwei, and lead a thousand soldiers to search the mansion of Zhang Jinyan and others. It is strictly forbidden to leak any information."

"Promote Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, as Governor of the Beijing Camp, and lead [-] troops to take over the Beijing Camp. To quell the mutiny of the soldiers, all the leading generals will be killed. The capital will be sealed off, and no one can enter or leave without an order."

"Wang Cheng'en, I order you to be the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory. First, put these beasts in prison and strictly restrain the people in the palace."

Zhou Yuji and others led the order and left, and the Qianqing Palace finally returned to calm.

"Ding, get 40000 positive emotion points from Zhou Yuji and four others."

A few eunuchs came to wipe the blood on the ground, Li Cunming changed his clothes under the service of the maid, washed his face after washing his hands, and then lifted the curtain on the dragon bed again.

Chen Yuanyuan was wrapped in a brocade quilt and curled up at the corner of the bed. She didn't know where she got the courage from, she glared at her almond-shaped eyes, and cursed: "Young Lord, I wish you had died under the sword just now!"

Li Cunming grabbed her arm, dragged it to the side of the bed, raised his palm and slapped her buttocks.

Then he smiled: "It's not your turn to say whether I'm a foolish king! I have important matters tonight, so I'm not interested. When I finish cleaning up the treacherous ministers, I will let you know what a real foolish king is."

Chen Yuanyuan was lying on the side of the bed, watching Emperor Chongzhen walk out of the Qianqing Palace with teary eyes, her buttocks were still burning.

She remembered that she was sent to the palace a year ago by Concubine Tian's father, Tian Hongyu. At that time, Chongzhen was busy with government affairs and treated her extremely coldly, and then rewarded Wu Sangui.

He also remembered that just now when he was hiding on the dragon couch, he heard and witnessed a thrilling struggle. Chongzhen's methods were cruel and ruthless, with deep scheming, showing the air of an emperor.

She was in a daze, thinking to herself with mixed feelings, what kind of person is Chongzhen?

Although the treacherous ministers had already been imprisoned, Li Cunming was calm and calm on the surface, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest in his heart.

He came to the Hall of Martial Heroes, ordered the palace servants to light up the lamps, and sat in front of the dragon case to wait for news from Zhou Yuji and others.

"System, I want to check in again."

"Every time you spend 40000 positive emotions or 80000 negative emotions, you can sign in again. It is detected that the positive emotions are sufficient, are you sure you want to sign in again?"

Li Cunming bared his teeth, this is too expensive.

Forget it, who calls someone the father of the system?Whatever dad says is what it is.

"determine."

"After deducting the corresponding positive emotion value, the capital's repeated sign-in was successful. Congratulations to the host for receiving two Solid-Yuan Body Tempering Pills."

"What's the use of the Guyuan Quenching Pill?"

"Strengthen your body and refine your extraordinary physique. After the host takes it, it will take effect immediately."

Li Cunming immediately had two crystal-clear pills in his palm. He looked at it carefully for a moment and swallowed one.

The Gu Yuan Quen Ti Pill melted in the body, and the whole body was warm and indescribably comfortable, the spirit was greatly lifted, and the blood was surging.

Taking a photo with the bronze mirror, Li Cunming was very pleasantly surprised and couldn't help laughing out loud.

It turned out that Chongzhen had been an out-and-out workaholic since he became emperor for 17 years, but the situation was deteriorating and the pressure was enormous. In his 30s, his temples became gray and his forehead was wrinkled.

At this time, the black hair is regenerated, the wrinkles are eliminated, and the rosy face bursts out with vitality.

Moreover, the muscles under the dragon robe swelled up, and his body became much stronger, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

At the end of the Chou period, the four courtiers returned to their orders.

Wang Chengen accompanied Chongzhen day and night, and was the first to notice his change, and said in surprise: "My lord, you...how did you become so much younger? This old slave remembered the time when you still believed in the prince..."

Li Cunming laughed and said: "Probably because of the blessings of heaven, my son's luck is still alive, and the vitality of the Ming Dynasty is not exhausted. Today I defeated the conspiracy of treacherous ministers, and I have to meet you four loyal ministers. I suddenly feel reborn!"

Immediately, he changed his tone and said, "There is nothing wrong, right?"

Wang Chengen wiped away the tears of joy, and took the lead in saying: "Report to the emperor, the old slave has successfully taken over the East Factory, and no one dares to make a mistake."

The answers of the other three people were similar. Li Cunming breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Gong Aiqing, did you gain anything from raiding the mansion of the guilty minister?"

"This is the surrender form found in Zhang Jinyan's study, please have a look at it." Gong Yonggu held up a piece of paper.

After Li Cunming read it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take a look, how many people have signed on it, these ministers have wronged the country and me, and they deserve to die!"

"Father Wu Sangui and his son also signed, and the surrender form also said that they would dedicate Shanhaiguan and Guanning iron cavalry to Li Zicheng. If I don't deal with them, I will be a king in vain!"

Li Cunming could recognize Wu Xiang's handwriting, it was definitely true.

Wu Sangui was far outside the pass, so Wu Xiang signed the signature for him naturally, but his father and son must have passed the exam in advance.

The reason why Wu Xiang didn't want to let Wu Sangui return to the capital on the pretext that he didn't have a salary, was because he didn't want to lose control of Shanhaiguan so that he could use it as a bargaining chip in the Dashun Dynasty.

Regarding this matter, Li Cunming knew about it five days ago from Gong and Liu's report. He launched an attack on Wu Xiang and robbed Chen Yuanyuan in the early court, and it was not aimless.

It's just that now that he saw the black and white text, he was still full of anger.

Hmph, if you, Wu Sangui, want to take my pass city, elite soldiers and cavalry as gifts, I will rob you of your woman!
He slapped the document on the dragon case and issued an order: "Wang Daban, the Yin hour has come, please ring the Jingyang bell."

Wang Chengen took the two eunuchs to ring the bell. Li Cunming ordered the maid to bring a bowl of glutinous rice balls, put them in the bowl himself, and handed them to Zhou Yuji and the other three with his own hands.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. The three lovers accompany me to eat some glutinous rice balls. We, the monarch and ministers, celebrate the festive season together. After eating, follow me to Meishan."

The three of Zhou Yuji held the bowls and thanked them very much.

……

At the beginning of Yinshi, the Jingyang Bell rang loudly, with a total of 54 rings.

At this time, the imperial court was shouting. Officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing hurriedly entered the palace and stood outside Wuying Hall, waiting for the morning court.

After a long while, Wang Cheng'en came to announce the decree: "Ministers, the court will not be held in the Hall of Martial Arts this morning. The emperor summoned you in Meishan."

"Wang Gonggong, how can there be any reason for the early court in Meishan? Isn't this breaking the ancestral system and court rules?" Chief Assistant Chen Yan asked in surprise.

The rest of the ministers also agreed one after another. The emperor's actions are becoming more and more absurd. What's the matter?
Wang Chengen was too lazy to explain and said: "Come on, escort the ministers to Meishan. Don't keep the emperor waiting."

More than 100 soldiers rushed over, holding knives, threatening to drive the ministers away.

In desperation, the ministers murmured and went to Meishan.Along the way, I saw heavy guards and waving banners.

When I came to the top of Meishan, there were crowds of people all around.The eunuchs held palace lanterns and torches, and mist shrouded in the lights.

There was no sound in the surroundings, Li Cunming was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, standing under a crooked neck tree with his back to the crowd.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

After all, Chen Yan was the chief assistant, although he was full of doubts, he still held his head and took the lead to kneel down.

Without turning around, Li Cunming stroked the trunk with one hand and said meaningfully: "Have you ever heard of this crooked neck tree? It is very famous!"
