When August entered, Kings of Chu, King Xiang, King Shu, and King Zheng were all escorted to Beijing.

The news that Hong Chengchou captured the Three Kings in Henan within a month was also circulating rapidly in various provinces.

In early August, King Lu of Shandong, King De of Jinan, King Heng of Qingzhou of Shandong, and King Chong of Runing Prefecture, Henan, suddenly remembered that the court issued an edict to them, asking them to go to Nanjing to worship their ancestors.

So, I immediately began to reply to the court, which was the kind of 800 miles of expedited.

It is said that the ministers and others will definitely abide by the emperor's order and arrive in Nanjing in time.

Then the question is, King Zhao, who was fooled by the King of Chu, was now extremely embarrassed.

Although Sun Chuanting, who was in Sichuan, still did not send troops, nor did he hear any imperial troops coming to Luoyang, at this moment, King Zhao felt that he would not go to Beijing and he was sorry for his rebellion after hearing that King Chu and King Xiang were escorted to Beijing.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, King Zhao planned to take the initiative to dismiss the people, but people were unwilling to leave and said that they had food to eat with King Zhao.

King Zhao had no choice but to take advantage of the evening to sneak away with a few confidants, and then headed north quickly, intending to surrender to Beijing, hoping that the emperor could spare his life for the sake of surrendering himself.

The next day, everyone found out that King Zhao was missing, just like a young wife abandoned by a scumbag, looking for King Zhao everywhere.

King Zhao: There is nothing I can do about the other people. Those people are so fucking able to eat! They are not here to fight the country, they are here to eat and drink! The country is not here to eat and drink! The country is not here to go, whoever wants to love the world!

King Zhao was very fast, and he might be afraid that he would surrender slowly in Beijing, so the emperor sent a large army to ask him for guilt.

It only took King Zhao four days to go from Luoyang to Beijing.

On August 14th, King Zhao arrived in Beijing.

After entering Beijing, King Zhao first ran to the gate of the Ministry of Rites. He said to the people at the gate of the Ministry of Rites: "I am King Zhao, I will come to find Lord Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

The guard at the door looked at King Zhao like an idiot. One guard smiled and said, "If you are King Zhao, I am the King of Chu. If you have nothing else, hurry up and go away. This is the Ministry of Rites!"

"I am really King Zhao!"

"Go away!"

"Wait! I am King Zhao, I am from the leader! You can let me go!"

At this time, Li Yan came out of the palace and happened to arrive at the entrance of the etiquette department, and saw this scene.

Li Yan asked, "What are you doing?"

When the guards saw Li Yan coming back, one of them said, "Sir, this madman said he is King Zhao and is from the leader."

Li Yan glanced at King Zhao. He had never seen King Zhao, and he could not be sure whether the person in front of him was King Zhao, but he was still a little surprised.

He glanced at King Zhao. This man was wearing very ordinary clothes, not the prince's python robe!

Oh, maybe I was afraid of being recognized along the way, so I might change my clothes.

Li Yan got off the horse and he looked at King Zhao carefully.

The ancient powerful class and ordinary civilians were easy to identify.

The powerful and powerful class have tender skins and no need to work. Ordinary people work hard for survival, and the wind and sun are exposed.

"Are you really King Zhao?"

"Gu is King Zhao! Gu is King Zhao! Gu is King Zhao! Gu was bewitched by the King of Chu. Gu suddenly repented and came to apologize to Your Majesty!"

Li Yan thought that this guy was probably King Zhao, and he knew that he was the first to look for the Ministry of Rites after coming to Beijing.

"Let him go."

King Zhao was let go, and Li Yan said, "Come in with me."

"Sir Xie."

King Zhao smiled, and accidentally saw a newspaper in Li Yan's hand.

It was written in a daze in the newspaper: King Xiang, King Chu, and King Zheng had hanged themselves in prison for rebellion and apologized for the world.

Li Yan seemed to notice it, and hurriedly put away the newspaper.

"Sir, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Oh, newspaper."

"Does the above state that Your Majesty has sentenced King Xiang, King Chu and King Zheng to death?"

"Ahem, are you too hard to travel? Let's have a cup of tea first when you go in?"

King Zhao looked left and right, and suddenly ran away.

Li Yan quickly shouted: "Catch him!"

King Zhao had just run a few steps before being caught by several guards and pressed to the ground.

King Zhao shouted desperately: "You have recognized the wrong person! You have recognized the wrong person!"

An hour later, Li Yan not only confirmed the person's true identity, but also entered the palace again and fed back all the situation of King Zhao to the emperor.

"King Zhao took the initiative to run to Beijing to surrender?"

"Yes, your Majesty."

Chongzhen didn't react for a while. He thought for a while before saying, "Let King Zhao go, choose a royal mansion for him, and then arrange some servants to allow him to take all his immediate relatives over, but he is not allowed to leave Beijing."

Li Yan was a little surprised. He thought the emperor would kill King Zhao too.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only wanted to release the people, but also gave them to the royal palace and allowed the King of Zhao to take his relatives over.

In fact, Li Yan was planning to make such a suggestion.

The situation is very sensitive now. King Chu, King Xiang, and King Zheng were executed. Princes of other provinces will inevitably receive the news. After they receive the news, it will inevitably cause panic.

Even if there is no rebellious prince, he will not be able to sit still when he hears such news.

They either continued to rebel or fled away with the fine and soft.

The best way to deal with it is to use both kindness and power.

"The disposal results of King Xiang, King Chu, and King Zheng declare the world, and the disposal results of King Zhao must also be declared! Especially let all the royal families know."

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty is wise, I understand what Your Majesty means."

At this time, there were a large number of princes in Shandong and northwest, and there were also many princes in Jiangxi and Changsha areas south of the Yangtze River.

These people are all ready to move.

In late August, whether it was King Jing in Huguang, King Min in Wugang, King Huai in Raozhou, Jiangxi, King Ji in Changsha, King Yi in Jianchang, King Rong in Changde Prefecture, King Lu in Weihui, King Hui in Jingzhou Prefecture, and King Gui in Hengzhou, they all received notifications one after another.

Among them, King Jing was ready to clean up his silk and ran away. When he learned that King Zhao had been pardoned, he immediately transformed himself into a letter to the court, demanding to surrender voluntarily, hand over his fiefdom, and go to Beijing.

If the princes could go to Beijing to live in the royal palace and enjoy wealth and glory, the princes would never run away.

Those who run away mean that they have to hide their names in the future and live a hard life.

These princes who are accustomed to glory and wealth will never be willing to live a hard life.

For a moment, while writing letters to Beijing, the princes quickly began to make an appointment with Nanjing.

At the end of August, the North China Plain was already gradually fading, and the autumn wind made the leaves golden.

The sound of horse hooves stomping the fallen leaves sounded in the forest, and teams of people were like lightning.

Chongzhen did not take a boat to go south along the Grand Canal.

It is insecure to take a boat, and it is always guaranteed to take an elite force and take a land route.

They marched very fast, and they were traveling at the speed of the war.

On August 30th, I had already entered Nanzhili and arrived in Xuzhou.

The emperor's first stop was not to go to Nanjing immediately, but to go to the Qingjiang Shipyard first.
Chapter completed!
