Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, looked like a very majestic man. He was tall and mighty, with a dark face and a big beard that reached to his chest. He was wearing a big red python robe and stood there like a descended Vajra.

"Your Majesty Zhu Chunchen respectfully greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An." Seeing Zhu Cihong and Wu Xiang walking together, Zhu Chunchen bowed and then said hello with great vigor.

With this appearance and voice, he looks like a victorious general!

Zhu Cixiang also had a smile on his face and nodded towards Zhu Chunchen, "Okay, okay, now that Duke Cheng is here, I feel at ease... Duke, please sit down. I want to discuss with Duke the plan for the battle against Chuang Rei tomorrow."

.”

Zhu Chunchen sat down grandly on a chair, stretched out his right hand, stroked his beard, and listened quietly to Zhu Cihong's words.

Zhu Cixiang said: "The Duke is the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp and a veteran in the army. Will he lead his troops out of the city tomorrow to let the bandits know how powerful the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are?"

Leading troops out of the city to fight with bandits? Zhu Chunchen was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously pinched his beard with his palm, almost pulling off a few strands of his own beard.

"Your Highness, this, most of the elite soldiers in this capital camp have been deployed to the four directions, or they have been lost in the battle with the ugly and rogue bandits. How can there be any spare power to go out of the city to fight?" Zhu Chunchen looked at the majestic soldiers, but things were about to come.

, We should shrink still, "I think it is better to stick to the city."

"Hold tight?" Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded, "Since the general said to hold tight, then let me follow me to the Xizhimen Tower tomorrow. Admiral Wu estimates that the bandits will attack the northwest corner of the capital... Then I will

I can see with my own eyes the heroism of the general in killing thieves."

What? You still have to go to the tower? You still have to kill the thief... He was killed by the thief, right? Zhu Chunchen was sweating, and he quickly persuaded him: "The thousand-year-old master has a body of ten thousand gold, but he can't go to dangerous places in person..."

"Wait!" Zhu Cixiang's tone suddenly became serious, "Cheng Guogong now said that I am a rich man and cannot take risks. Then Zuo Zhongyun and Li Mingrui said to move the capital. Fan Jingwen, the great scholar, Li Banghua, the censor of Zuo Du, and Shao Zhan

When Mr. Shi proposed that I should supervise Nanjing, why didn’t you stand up and support it? Did you submit a memorial to second the proposal? "

"I, I, I am a military officer..."

"You are an honorable minister!" Zhu Cihong shouted, "You should rest with the country! Now that the country is in crisis, you should fight to die first. Tomorrow is your chance to be remembered in history. Since you don't want to leave the city, then kill the thieves on the city wall.

!”

"I am the commander-in-chief..."

"I am still the crown prince!" Zhu Cixiang glared, "I am going to the city to supervise the battle. Do you, the commander-in-chief, still want to avoid death in the imperial city?"

This is to be escorted to the front line!

Zhu Chunchen was so scared that he couldn't even breathe... Although he looked like a martial artist who killed people without batting an eyelid, he had never dared to kill a chicken since he was a child. How could he fight with a bandit? Isn't this a way to die?

Thinking of dying, Zhu Chunchen, a big man, became sad and burst into tears. It’s true that a man doesn’t shed tears easily, but it’s just not time to go into battle!

Seeing his bearish appearance, Zhu Chunjie, who was standing behind Zhu Cixiang, couldn't help it and said: "How can the Duke of Guo be worthy of his ancestors if he is so cowardly?"

Zhu Chunchen's ancestor Zhu Neng was a high-ranking general under Zhu Di. He served in the army all his life, and finally died of illness in the army during the expedition to Annan. It can be said that he dedicated his life to death. Now that his descendants are like this, Zhu Neng is under Jiuquan, probably

I will also cry bitterly.

"Huaiyuan," Zhu Cixiang called Zhu Chunjie's name affectionately, "don't talk about Cheng Guogong like that. Guogong just can't think about it for the moment... He can always become a loyal hero tomorrow!"

What does it mean to always be a loyal person!?

Why does this sound so scary?

Zhu Chunchen already felt as if he had stepped into the gate of hell. Since he found that he had reached the gate of hell, he naturally could not go any further, so he immediately stood up and saluted Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, I still have the emperor's orders.

, I am going to Fuchengmen for inspection, and we will discuss the matter of tomorrow’s battle when I return from Fuchengmen.”

After saying that, he was about to leave, but how could Zhu Cixi let him go? No 200,000 yuan could let him go?

"Stop Duke Cheng Guo quickly!" Zhu Cixiang ordered, and the East Palace guards guarding the door of the Leopard Room, led by Wang Qi, blocked Zhu Chunchen.

Zhu Chunchen knew that he had no choice but to leave, so he tried to break away with all his strength. Although Wang Qi was very strong, he did not dare to kill Duke Cheng, and actually could not hold him, so the two of them were twisted together.

At this time, Zhu Cixiang spoke with a cold tone: "Shang Fang Baojian, please! There is a commander in chief of the Beijing camp who escaped from the battle and needs to be killed!"

Want to kill!?

When Zhu Chunchen heard what Zhu Cihong said, his bones were so frightened that all the strength in his body had gone. His hands and feet were weak and he was caught by Wang Qi.

But Zhu Cixi really came towards Zhu Chunchen with Shang Fang's sword, and his face was filled with murderous intent!

At this time, Zhu Chunchen had no choice but to change his words and said loudly: "Your Highness has misunderstood, I have misunderstood you. I did not run away in the face of the battle. I will not leave. I will not go anywhere. I will guard Your Highness!"

"Really?" Zhu Cixiang held the sword and looked at Zhu Chunchen murderously.

"Really, really..." Zhu Chunchen is a good man who doesn't want to suffer the immediate loss. Although he is not sure whether Zhu Cihong will actually stab himself with the sword, it is best not to experiment with this kind of thing.

"By the way, you said you were going to Fuchengmen for inspection?"

"No, no, I won't go."

"I'm going!" Zhu Cihong said, "Let's go together! Let's see the rebellious army.

Admiral Wu, please come with me."

"His Royal Highness, do you really want to go to Fuchengmen?" Zhu Chunchen asked with a trembling voice.

"Of course we are going up!" Zhu Cixiang said coldly, "I will inspect the defense tonight with the general.

Huaiyuan, go to Duke Cheng’s Mansion and get Duke Cheng’s armor. Qiu Banban, go get my armor too and send it to the tower of Xizhimen. Bi Shishu, please go and inform Li Ruolian

, Mr. Chen, Mr. Lin and Huang Dabao told them that our Chinese army was stationed in Xizhimen Wengcheng.

Chief Rong, don’t tremble... Let’s go and see the army of bandits with me! I’m so old, I’ve never seen what bandits look like!”

What's so good about seeing a bandit! He'll be dead after seeing him...Zhu Chunchen really feels that a disaster is coming! It's really coming, not a fake one!

Even if Li Zicheng breaks into Beijing, he can surrender to welcome the new master. Duke Cheng Guo will be gone, but his life can always be saved, and maybe most of his family property can be saved... But now he is caught by a crazy prince.

If you go to the front line, what good outcome can there be except death? But it’s not possible if you don’t follow. The sword of Shang Fang is still in the hands of the prince!

Why is there no way to survive?

Help! Your Majesty, help!

…

When Zhu Cixiang dragged a frightened and trembling duke to Fucheng Gate to see the bandits, Emperor Chongzhen had just arrived at Kunning Palace, got off the chariot, and walked quickly inside. Emperor Chongzhen walked very quickly, as if he was walking in the palace.

Race against time. But in the current situation, it is indeed time to race against time.

When the emperor arrives, the middle palace should greet him at the main entrance of Kunning Palace. However, Emperor Chongzhen always comes and goes in a hurry, and there is not much time for red tape in the harem - how much time does he have to himself in a day? There is too much etiquette.

, there was no time to do anything serious! So Zhou Hou just greeted him at the entrance of the main hall.

The emperor and the queen saw the ceremony and walked inside together. Entering the main hall of Kunning Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was stunned. He saw many packages and boxes placed in the main hall of Kunning Palace, and a picture was placed in front of the throne.

There is a thick book spread out on the desk.

Chongzhen walked quickly, picked up the book and looked at it by the candlelight. He found that it was an account book, and it recorded what was placed in the box with the number... He looked like he was ready to pack up and flee!
