After Zhu Yaoshi dealt with the Korean soldiers and horses, he slowly entered the city from the east gate. At this time, except for the Bell and Drum Towers, which were still in the hands of Liang Jun, Zhu Yaoshi's troops were stationed in other places in the city. The reason why he did not go to the Bell and Drum Towers was because

Zhu Yaoshi issued a military order not to harm Emperor Liu Xuan.

Qiu Xingzhi had been on the way to persuade Pharmacist Zhu to let Liu Xuan go on purpose, so as not to be known as a regicide. But Pharmacist Zhu said: "I heard that he is the Son of Heaven, and I'm going to meet him for a while. I won't kill him!"

Don’t worry!”

Along the way, many people came out to work with steamed buns, wine and meat. On the main road in the city, there were tens of thousands of banners to welcome Zhu Yaoshi into the city. Zhu Yaoshi saluted everyone on his horse and said: "I, Zhu Yaoshi, have raised an army. I am a common people. I am exempted from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

The rich share the land, everyone has food to eat and farmland, and the world is fair!"

"Long live Long live Long live"

"A saint descends from heaven and the people are saved!"

"When a saint is born, the world will be at peace!"

Words of praise abounded, and teams were everywhere in the city to welcome Pharmacist Zhu. Liu Xuan saw and heard all this on the Bell and Drum Towers, and immediately advised the people around him: "You all throw away your swords and guns and disperse, don't do anything that will lead to your death in vain."

"

Qin Gou'er and thousands of people still refused to leave. Liu Xuan laughed: "My time is coming soon, why do you have to accompany me, a dying person, to bury me? I have poison on me, and I will eat it when they come."

Don’t worry, I won’t fall into the hands of thieves. You all can run for your lives! Qin Gouer, if you don’t take them away, I will punish your family when I go to the underworld after my death!”

Qin Gou'er burst into tears: "Your Majesty! Take care!" Then he turned around, dismissed the team, and disappeared into the crowd.

Zhu Yaoshi's team was getting closer and closer to the Bell and Drum Towers, but Qiu Xingzhi became worried. After all, the emperor was a hot potato if he stayed. It would be fine if he fell. But the closer they got to the Bell and Drum Towers, many people were kneeling on their knees.

On the ground, he begged the emperor for mercy.

"The emperor is at the Bell and Drum Tower. He is a good man. I hope the king will never hurt him!"

"The emperor is kind to the people, so the king cannot kill him!"

"The emperor is already ill, please show mercy!"

Zhu Yaoshi threw the sword in his hand in front of the horse: "I will never do this treasonous act of regicide. I came to Jinling to correct the emperor! I will do my best to assist your majesty!"

The people kowtowed again and again, and when they reached the Bell and Drum Towers, Zhu Yaoshi dismounted and walked towards the Bell and Drum Towers accompanied by Qiu Xingzhi and He Wuji.

Zhu Yaoshi had been thinking about what the emperor looked like and what he should say when he saw the emperor. He walked slower and slower. Qiu Xingzhi persuaded him: "Since the king is hesitant, it is better to disappear."

Pharmacist Zhu smiled: "Do you want people in the world to laugh at me? We must meet. When we meet the emperor later, we will kneel down together. We must not be rude to the emperor!"

The three of them slowly climbed to the top of the building and finally came to the emperor.

When they first saw Emperor Liu Xuan, the three of them were stunned. The emperor in front of them had sunken eye sockets, a pale face, and ulcers on his hands. His lower limbs and waist were tied to pillars with cotton cloth, and blood was oozing from them.

Only the slight smile on the emperor's face and the fiery eyes revealed that he was a living person.

Pharmacist Zhu quickly pulled the two of them to kneel down: "Long live my emperor!"

Liu Xuan laughed loudly: "No need, I didn't expect you to help me accomplish what I wanted to do most. I am now alone and have nothing to reward you."

Pharmacist Zhu was a little surprised: "Does your Majesty also want to eradicate the aristocratic family?"

Liu Xuan did not answer directly, but

He asked Yaoshi Zhu: "If you become emperor, who do you think Daliang's enemy is?"

Pharmacist Zhu raised his head: "Of course it's Mobei, and Gaoli."

Liu Xuan laughed: "You are wrong. The enemy of Daliang is in Jinling City, the Manchu ministers you killed! Kill a group and there will be new ones, always there! When you become the emperor, you have to fight with them.

They will fight for the rest of their lives! They will fight until death!"

Pharmacist Zhu was stunned. He did not expect that the emperor would give this answer.

Liu Xuan looked at the three of them: "How many troops did you have when you raised the army?"

Pharmacist Zhu thought for a while: "To be honest with your Majesty, there are actually only more than 5,000 people. Including the troops and horses borrowed from Goryeo, the number is less than 20,000."

"How many troops are there now?" Liu Xuan asked next.

"Now there are more than 300,000 people. Since taking Huainan, more and more people have joined us."

"Now that you have occupied Jinling, don't you want to proclaim yourself emperor?"

Pharmacist Zhu couldn't answer. He didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question. Liu Xuan comforted him: "I am a veteran. If you don't proclaim the emperor now, they will force you to do so. If you do,

From now on, I will be alone and controlled by others! I will end it soon. I don’t know when the war in this world will end.” After saying this, black blood flowed from the corner of Liu Xuan’s mouth.

Zhu Yaoshi and the others immediately got up and untied the cotton cloth from Liu Xuan's body to save him. Liu Xuan used his last strength and said: "My oil has run out. I have already taken poison before you came. You did not kill me directly. I have already

I'm very grateful. I finally retained my last bit of dignity. You go down. At this last moment, I want to be alone for a while."

Zhu Yaoshi and the others walked down the Bell and Drum Tower with tears in their eyes, but Qiu Xingzhi murmured in his heart that the Emperor Liu Xuan wanted to set a trap for them even before he died. The Emperor was alive before the three people went up. When the three people came down, the Emperor

He was poisoned and died. Who would believe that they did not poison the emperor?

The news of Emperor Liu Xuan's death could not be concealed, and it spread quickly. There were already divergent opinions in Jinling City, and Zhu Yaoshi had no way to deal with it, so he had to move out the prince Liu Ke who had been arrested before and succeed Liu Xuanling.

Liu Ke was knocked unconscious and carried to the throne. He knew that this puppet emperor would not last more than a few days. Besides, everyone said that Liu Xuan was poisoned to death by Zhu Yaoshi personally feeding him poisonous wine. The story was very vivid and immersive.

The environment is average.

But at this time, the situation could not be controlled by Liu Ke, so he had to become the emperor first.

Liu Ke ascended the throne and appointed Zhu Yaoshi as the general and the prime minister, Qiu Xingzhi as the hussar general and Sikong, and He Wuji as the former general and Situ. Zhu Yaoshi's subordinates were all granted official titles, but some of them stood when they went to court.

Some were sitting on the floor, while others brought stools to sit on, which was completely out of shape.

Zhu Yaoshi discussed with Qiu Xingzhi to formulate rules and regulations, but Qiu Xingzhi shook his head: "Most of our subordinates are illiterate. Liang Guo's rules and regulations are already very complete. It would be superfluous to re-enact them now. If we want these crude

It is more difficult for people to study the rules and regulations than to kill them. I think we have to select talents from among the scholars."

Zhu Yaoshi was very dissatisfied: "In this case, we still have to leave the world to the rich families. Then aren't our efforts in vain?"

Qiu Xingzhi advised: "These scholars are not all from aristocratic families, but also from poor families. Why doesn't the king search for talents from all over the country?"

He Wuji stopped him and said: "These people will eventually become a new aristocratic family after they enter the court. We will still be working for nothing in the future. I think it is better to govern various places according to our military methods. It is simple and practical!"

Pharmacist Zhu also agreed with He Wuji's idea.

Seeing this, he decided to let his subordinates go to various places to serve as officials.

Everyone in Jinling City was happy when they were rewarded for their merits, but there was a lot of mourning in the west of Nanyang, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Chengdu, Lingnan and Wuling. Chen Hongyi, Liu Jian, Wang Guan and Cui Ju all took mourning oaths for Liu Xuan to punish the thieves, but they only summoned troops and did not go to Jinling.

Tuyuhun, after receiving Liu Jian's letter, sent people to the front line to inform Murong Ling and Li Xiaofei.

Murong Ling had already captured Ganzhou and was preparing to take Chang'an directly. The Green Banner Khanate sent people to negotiate peace. After the Green Banner Khanate promised to cede land two hundred miles east of Huangshui, Murong Ling withdrew his troops.

Because winter was coming, Li Xiaofei led his troops back to Shazhou early, so he saw the letter first.

Li Xiaofei cried while reading it, and saw what was written in the letter: "Li Xiaofei, you are a wild boy, you have run away everywhere, your wife and children are all taken care of by my wife, you have to pay your wages! You go to the west to be happy, you don't know

You sent a message to me, your past master, and made us think that you and Murong were dead. We cried and cried, and even repaired the tomb. You heartless person, please come back to me earlier, with your whole body intact!"

Murong Qing looked on and said, "Ah, it turns out you have a wife and children."

Li Xiaofei wiped his tears: "I have only seen my child once after he was born. I have to go back as soon as possible."

Murong Qing snorted: "That's a nice thought. You haven't gone to defeat Gao Changguo yet, and you want to leave?"

Li Xiaofei looked up at Murong Qing, and Murong Longhun also spoke: "We all understand that General Manager Li is homesick, but now that Liang Country is besieged from three sides, it's not an option for you to go back alone."

Murong Yuanzhong immediately said: "General Manager Li wants to return to the Liang Kingdom. I very much agree with it. However, if he wants to return to the Liang Kingdom, he must first go to Chang'an. In this way, the threat to the west of the Liang Kingdom is eliminated, and we can also move into Guanzhong!"

Murong Longhun coughed for a while: "No, no, no, we have to take Gaochang first. We have a place to make iron before we can take Chang'an."

When Li Xiaofei saw that the two of them were arguing again, he threw his hands away and said, "Your Majesty, let's stop arguing with the Prime Minister. We'd better wait until Murong Ling comes back. Without his help, our plan will be empty talk."

For several days, Murong Qing followed Li Xiaofei all day long, for fear that he would run away, but Li Xiaofei always rode out of the city alone to wait for Murong Ling.

It was snowing heavily, and Li Xiaofei wanted to go out, but Murong Qing pulled him back: "The snow and wind this year is too heavy, they must be looking for a place to camp. If you run out and catch the cold and die here, you will never be seen again."

Your wife and daughter!"

Li Xiaofei turned his head: "You are right, let's just wait for this storm to pass!"

Murong Qing looked straight at Li Xiaofei: "By the way, take me with you when you leave!"

Li Xiaofei was surprised: "How should I explain that I am taking you back? Besides, you will also get married in the future."

Murong Qing sighed: "If you and Murong Ling weren't here, I might have married to Gaochang or Mobei long ago. How can we women be on our own? We need this marriage today, and we need that support tomorrow.

We are nothing more than tools!”

Li Xiaofei thought of Hongrui. Maybe Hongrui was sent out by the Xiao family in order to win over Liu Jian.

Murong Qing saw that Li Xiaofei was distracted and patted him: "If you don't take me away, I will wait for Brother Ling to come back and take me to your place. When I get to your house, I will tell Brother Ling that I am the wife you married in Tuyuhun.

Let me see how your wife treats you?"
