The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 942 Loyalty Day 2
After saying goodbye to Wang Cunzhang, Wei Zhenzhang turned and walked towards Da'anmen.

After entering Da'anmen, the government offices of various ministries and courtyards are on the left and right, and from time to time you can see the panicked figures of officials.

"Follow me to protect the emperor!"

"The emperor is in danger, protect the emperor with me!"

"The salary of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, follow me into the palace to escort!"

Along the way, Wei Zhenzhang met many officials, many of whom he knew.

He called on everyone to enter the palace with him, but these people only wanted to save their lives and escape, and no one was willing to enter the palace with him.

In fact, those who are truly willing to be loyal to the country are all resisting on the front line at this moment.

And the "junjie" who knows current affairs slipped home early when the situation was not good, hiding and waiting for the birth of the new dynasty.

Those who are still in the official office at this moment are cowards who have neither dead ends nor fools who do not have a clear mind to judge the situation.

Entering Duanmen and Huangjimen alone, what Wei Zhenzhang saw was dilapidated and disorderly.

The guards had long since disappeared, and the maids and eunuchs were running wildly, with their arms and packages bulging. It was obvious that there was a lot of good things in the palace.

Obviously, these people can't count on it!

"Where is the emperor?"

Pointing at a court lady with a knife, Wei Zhenzhang asked about the situation.

The little maid's face paled, and she replied tremblingly: "It seems...it seems to have gone to Qian'an Palace!"

After hearing the news, Wei Zhenzhang didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately rushed to the direction of Qian'an Palace.

It can be considered that he was lucky enough, when he came outside Qian'an Palace, he happened to meet Emperor Zhao Weilong.

At this moment, the emperor and empress had already changed into common people's clothes, and only two eunuchs followed behind them.

"Wei Zhenzhang, the censor of the Chen Duchayuan, see the emperor!"

Seeing Wei Zhenzhang coming, Zhao Weilong stopped and asked, "Wei Qing, why are you here?"

Just now Zhao Weilong delivered an edict to discuss the matter, but none of the courtiers came, and then Wang Cunzhang arrived and told him that the imperial court was over.

Wei Zhenzhang raised his head and said, "I come to protect the emperor!"

Zhao Weilong couldn't help being stunned, and then said: "Wei Qing is a loyal minister!"

Only after undergoing great changes can we truly reveal our hearts.

Zhao Weilong said again: "Now that the imperial court has been defeated, it is enough for Wei Qing to have this kind of heart, let's run for his life!"

In the current situation, Zhao Weilong knew very well that the building would collapse. He didn't want to lose more lives, especially the lives of such loyal ministers.

"Your Majesty, I have already promised Lord Wang that I will escort the Emperor to leave Beijing for refuge, and I also invite the Emperor to accompany me out of the city!"

"Wei Qing..."

"Your Majesty, time is pressing, there is no longer any delay!"

Seeing Wei Zhenzhang's determined face, Zhao Weilong remembered this friendship in his heart. If he can make a comeback in the future, he will definitely regard Wei Zhenzhang as his subordinate.

Without further delay, after Wei Zhenzhang changed his official robes, he led the emperor and empress to join the fleeing team and rushed straight to Chongyi Gate.

Chongyi Gate is on the east side of the capital, and it was taken down after the fall of Zijin Gate. Now many people have fled from it.

But when Zhao Weilong and the others arrived, Zhao Yanxun's order to seal the city gate had already arrived, and the soldiers staying here were already stopping the people leaving the city.

"Go back... hurry back!"

"Go back, if you dare to attack the city defense, you will be punished severely..."

The officer was yelling loudly, but with tens of thousands of people gathered at the scene, his voice could only be heard by a few nearby people.

But under the deterrence of swords and guns, the people who approached really didn't dare to mess around, but there was no way to retreat if they were crowded behind.

"Wei Qing, what should I do?" Zhao Weilong was extremely frightened.

In the end, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and he has been pampered all his life. If he is not frightened by a sudden change, he is already courageous.

After a few breaths of silence, Wei Zhenzhang said: "I have a way..."

While Zhao Weilong was wondering, Wei Zhenzhang took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "The rebels are going to massacre the city, if we don't escape, we will die..."

"Run away, run away..."

His voice was also not loud, but it easily affected the people around him, making these people's fear of death prevail.

"Hurry up and escape, you can survive if you leave the city..."

The crowd became commotion again, and dozens of people who were close to Wei Zhenzhang shouted and shouted one after another, engulfing more people's emotions to erupt.

The commotion of the crowd was noticed by Qianhu on the city tower, which made him half dead.

"Bring the bow and arrow!"

Taking the bow and arrow from his subordinates, Qianhu aimed directly at Wei Zhenzhang, but unfortunately the crowd made it difficult for him to aim.

With a sound of "嗖", the arrow roared out, but it was a pity that it was only a little bit short.

The arrow passed Wei Zhenzhang's ear and shot a man behind him, and his screams were heard on the spot.

"The rebels have killed people... run away!"

Good guy, the crowd was detonated immediately, and everyone boiled up, pushing forward desperately.

Even if the soldiers killed more than a dozen people at the gate of the city, the people behind kept pushing forward, and the crowd couldn't stop them at all.

After all, there were tens of thousands of people at the scene, and only a few hundred soldiers guarding the city gate.

Of course, the key reason is that the order to close the city was communicated too late, and many people have already escaped, which has played a demonstration effect among the common people.

Since others can go out, of course we can too.

Undoubtedly, under the attack of tens of thousands of people, the soldiers at the gate of the city could not stop them at all, and then these people rushed into the Wengcheng and scuffled with the soldiers guarding the gate of the Wengcheng.

"Damn it... hurry up and ask for help!" Qianhu angrily snapped at his hands.

At this moment, no matter how many people the army kills, it will not be able to deter the fleeing crowd unless more troops suppress it.

"Damn it, I want to catch that bastard back!"

The bastard in Qianhukou refers to Wei Zhenzhang who provokes troubles. After all, he is the one who arouses the emotions of the people.

In order to dispel the anger in their hearts, the thousand households brought their personal guards down the tower.

At this moment, the crowd was desperately pushing out, Wei Zhenzhang and his party were weak and came late, so they were still far away from the first city gate.

Looking at the Qianhu who came down from the tower, walked around the crowd, and went straight to him, Wei Zhenzhang knew that trouble was coming.

But he has to bear this trouble alone, and he must not implicate the emperor.

So Wei Zhenzhang turned around and said: "Your Majesty, you go quickly, the minister can't go!"

Looking at the approaching soldiers, Zhao Weilong also realized the reality.

"Wei Qing..."

"Your Majesty, I can only send you here, take care..."

After saying that, Wei Zhenzhang turned around and squeezed towards the northwest.

Only by drawing the Yong army away, the possibility of the emperor's escape will be greater.

"Wei Qing..."

Seeing Wei Zhenzhang gradually disappearing into the crowd, Zhao Weilong had tears in his eyes.

"Husband, let's go, don't let loyal ministers die in vain!"

Hearing the soft voice next to his ear, Zhao Weilong clenched Rou Yi in his hand, wiped away his tears, nodded resolutely, and then continued to squeeze out.

On the other side, Wei Zhenzhang mixed into the crowd and hid in Tibet, so Qianhu failed to catch him.

For this thousand households, the most important thing right now is to quickly control the situation at the city gate, otherwise he will not be able to bear the blow of the boss's stick.

Soon the reinforcements rushed over, with strong repression and policy explanations, it took half an hour to restore order at the city gate.

And the task of martial law in the capital was also implemented by the army, and any suspicious person would be arrested.

And Wei Zhenzhang, who was spying on the door control, was arrested in such a daze, and was even identified by the leading party.

"This is Wei Zhenzhang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his knowledge and character are extremely high!"

"Brother Wei, stay safe!"

Wei Zhenzhang knew the person in front of him, he was a director of the Ministry of Industry, but the friendship between the two was limited to acquaintance.

Faced with this person's conversation, Wei Zhenzhang turned his head away directly, this soft-boned face made him sick

At the side, a hundred households patrolling with soldiers said: "Now that the puppet dynasty is gone, since you have good knowledge and character, the prince will definitely use you!"

"Hmph, traitorous officials and traitors, I will not share the sky with you!"

Hearing this, the head of the Ministry of Industry who had just talked with him backed away, thinking that blood would be spattered five steps soon.

Baihu suddenly became angry, he really wanted to kill Wei Zhenzhang with a knife, but thinking of the king's order just delivered, he forced him to suppress his anger.

Zhao Yanxun's decree is very simple, give more opportunities to those who are unwilling to surrender.

Just because such a person is more valuable than a soft bone that directly surrenders.

"Take it!" Baihu said solemnly.
