Zhu Yihai now wrote two edicts painfully, using the emperor's seal.

His writing of these two edicts was equivalent to betraying the ministers who were loyal to him and the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army who fought for him.

Let the ministers who were loyal to him not only not receive rewards, but also be treated fairly in the future and bear the stigma of history.

Zhu Yihai's blood in his heart, he hated Zhao Ming and even more of his own compromise.

He knew that when the edict was passed on, he would lose it forever. He abandoned his loyal ministers and his ministers, but for the Ming Dynasty, he had to do as Zhao Ming wanted.

Zhao Ming declared that someone in the court harmed him, but he did not directly say that Zhu Yihai wanted to kill him, but he didn't want to completely break up.

The purpose is to define this incident as someone in the court who wanted to assassinate Zhao Ming was not good for Zhu Yihai, and Zhao Ming quelled the rebellion and saved the country and the safety of Zhu Yihai.

In this way, Zhao Ming would not have to bear the bad reputation of regicide and would not have completely broken up.

If Zhu Yihai did not issue an order and the matter developed to this point, Zhao Ming could only kill Zhu Yihai and bear the name of regicide.

Since Zhu Yihai was killed, Zhao Ming had no way back and could only destroy the Zhu family and replace him.

Zhu Yihai was not afraid of death, but was afraid that Zhao Ming would directly seize the Zhu family's territory. Then he was the sinner of the Zhu family and had no face to face his ancestors.

Therefore, he could only surrender and sacrifice those who were loyal to him and fought for him.

The seal was stamped on two imperial edicts, and Zhu Yihai's eyes were instantly dimmed and his heart was ashamed.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming winked. Li Chengdong immediately moved forward, collected two imperial edicts from the desk, took the jade seal, and turned around to present it to Zhao Ming.

"King!" Li Chengdong knelt on one knee and raised it above his head.

Zhao Ming took the imperial edict and the seal from Li Chengdong, handed it to Wang Shuang and put it away. He looked at the imperial edict one by one, and was immediately overjoyed: "The Supreme Emperor is wise!"

"General Li, guard the hall well, don't make anyone disturb the Supreme Emperor!" Zhao Ming ordered casually.

Although Zhu Yihai has not officially abdicated, Zhao Ming can't wait to change his title.

Li Chengdong understood that it meant that Zhu Yihai was placed under house arrest, "Hey! Don't worry, lord!"

Zhao Ming nodded, turned around and led the generals out of the hall.

Standing on the steps of Fengtian Hall, Zhao Ming was filled with emotion. His eyes scanned the majestic palace and square, his heart was filled with excitement and passion. The era that belonged to Zhao was finally here.

Zhao Ming was watching for a long time before handing over an imperial edict to Dang Shousu, "The Qing family immediately took the imperial edict to Linggu Temple!"

Dang Shousu took the imperial edict, "As for the order!"

Zhao Ming said to Wang Dana again: "Go and welcome King Gui, and then summon all civil and military officials from Nanjing to the palace."

"Here!" Wang Dana saluted excitedly.

~~~~~~~

Outside Linggu Temple, nearly 10,000 Han troops surrounded the temple and attacked the three thousand Jiangbei troops, under the command of Zhang Mingzhen, fought to the death.

Inside and outside the temple, arrows intertwined, muskets shot at each other, and explosions continued.

In front of the mountain gate and inside the temple, there are slaughtered bodies everywhere.

At this time, when the battle was fierce, a team of cavalry rushed over and entered the Han army's main formation.

Not long after, under the Han army's flag, the sound of gold sounded, and the Han soldiers who attacked the temple retreated one after another, leaving hundreds of corpses.

The Han army retreated and the Jiangbei army, who was guarding the temple, had no joy at all. Without the direct threat of the Han army, the blood on the guards gradually cooled down with the silence of the battlefield, and had to consider the current situation.

In the temple, Jiangbei soldiers were everywhere, holding weapons, standing or lying, feeling panic and morale was sluggish. Apart from the groans of the wounded soldiers, the temple was particularly quiet.

Zhang Mingzhen pressed the sword and walked past the soldiers everywhere, sitting on a stone bench, and a personal soldier was bandaging his wound.

At this time, Ruan Jin walked past the wounded soldiers and came to Zhang Mingzhen, who was bandaged on his chest and waist, and whispered: "Your Highness, there is no movement in Nanjing!"

Zhang Mingzhen lowered his head and sighed, "I understand."

There was no movement in Nanjing, and there was only one explanation, that is, the Han army had already controlled the palace and Zhu Yihai.

This means that Zhang Mingzhen and the three thousand dead soldiers of Jiangbei Army have failed.

Now, it is meaningless to continue fighting, but only a loss of casualties. However, Zhang Mingzhen did not intend to surrender. Without the orders of Emperor Zhu Yihai, he would fight to death and would never surrender to Zhao Ming.

At this time, a few people suddenly came in at the mountain gate. In addition to the embarrassing general of the Jiangbei Army, there was another person dressed as a Han army captain.

Several generals brought him to Zhang Mingzhen, and one general saluted and said, "Your Highness, the Han army envoy arrived, saying that there was an order from the palace to be passed on."

Zhang Mingzhen sat on a stool with a sword in one hand and said in a deep voice: "Bring it here!"

The Han army captain stepped forward, holding an imperial edict in his hand, and began to say, "The emperor's edict said that Zhang Mingzhen and others plotted to murder the King of Han and raised an army to rebel. The crime was extremely serious. Juan surrendered immediately and waited for the court to take action!"

"What?" Before the Han army captain finished reading, Ruan Jin captured the imperial edict and took it to watch it himself.

"This is not true~ Why is this happening? Why did Your Majesty issue such an order?" Ruan Jin looked full of pain and couldn't believe it.

The soldiers of Jiangbei were getting rid of Zhao Ming for Zhu Yihai, but now they have become traitors. Many soldiers of Jiangbei Army could not accept it for a while. They felt deeply that they had been betrayed and abandoned, and were in great pain.

After reading the content of the imperial edict, everyone's mentality collapsed, and was betrayed by the person they were loyal to, and their faith collapsed instantly.

Zhang Mingzhen laughed bitterly and asked the Han army captain, "Where is the Han King attacking the palace?"

The Han Army Captain said: "The King has entered the palace to protect His Majesty's safety!"

The ordinary Han army soldiers were not aware of the plot. They all thought that Zhang Mingzhen and others were afraid of the great achievements of the Han King and did not want the Han King to take control of the government. They were jealous and wanted to get rid of the Han King, threaten the emperor, and monopolize the power of the court. They all thought that it was the Jiangbei army who caused chaos.

Zhang Mingzhen heard the words and knew what was going on. Zhao Ming controlled Zhu Yihai. In order to save his life, Zhu Yihai could only push the matter of attacking Linggu Temple and killing Zhao Ming onto his head.

Zhang Mingzhen felt sad on his face, and then he calmly said to the generals: "We lost! Surrender!"

Many soldiers of Jiangbei stood with their heads down and their hands down, all of them looking dull.

After saying that, Zhang Mingzhen sent Ruan Jin and others to send the Han army captain out, asking them to prepare to surrender.

At this time, Ruan Jin and others had just walked a few steps mechanically, but Zhang Mingzhen suddenly stood up and roared, "I want to kill the King of Han, Zhang Mingzhen!"

Then, amid the exclamation of Ruan Jin and others, he put the sword around his neck, pulled it suddenly, and blood shot out.

"Master General!" Ruan Jin and others cried anxiously, and flew to grab the knife, but they were one step late. Zhang Mingzhen's throat was shot with blood, and fell down, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

"Master!"

"Your Highness!"

Ruan Jin and others rushed forward frantically, hugged Zhang Mingzhen's body, cried bitterly, heart-wrenchingly.

Zhang Mingzhen's throat was bleeding, and blood kept overflowing from Ruan Jin's fingers. He said in grief and anger: "Your Majesty~ Old Minister~ Be loyal~" he looked at Ruan Jin and others again, and said intermittently: "Don't resent~ Your Majesty~"

After speaking, he died of anger. Seeing this, several relatives suddenly pulled out a short knife, inserted it into their abdomen, fell down, and buried it directly for the commander to die.

Ruan Jin and other Jiangbei generals knelt around Zhang Mingzhen's body and cried endlessly, "Master-in-law~"
