Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 2
"Everyone, what's the matter?"

Li Cunming covered Chen Yuanyuan with a brocade quilt, then lowered the curtain, and then walked slowly to the entrance of the hall.

Looking across the crowd, he saw Zhang Jinyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Li Guozhen, Governor of the Beijing Camp, Li Guozhen, Gong Yonggu, Prince Consort, and Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, followed closely behind.

Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun stood behind the crowd, lowering his head to avoid the emperor's gaze.

"Director Caochang, I'm here to ask you, what do you want to do when you gather outside my palace?" Li Cunming said in a deep voice.

Cao Huachun seemed to tremble a bit, faltering.

Zhang Jinyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Beijing camp have mutinied!"

"Is there such a thing?" Li Cunming frowned, and scolded, "The soldiers mutinied. As the Minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of the Beijing camp, why didn't you go to appease and suppress it immediately? Don't you know how to share the worries of your father?"

Li Guozhen muttered: "I'm sorry, I can't do anything..."

Zhang Jinyan took a step forward. He looked directly at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the rebellious soldiers are so powerful that the ministers can't restrain them. The soldiers haven't been paid for a long time, and the intruders are approaching the capital day by day. Change, today's things are different from the past!"

Li Cunming heard something in his words and asked, "What do you think?"

"The ministers and others have discussed for a long time, the treasury is empty, unable to allocate payment, and unable to appease the rebellious soldiers, so let them disperse on their own." Zhang Jinyan said.

"What, this is the bullshit countermeasure you discussed? The soldiers dispersed, who will guard the capital?" Li Cunming asked.

Zhang Jinyan knelt down, and said unhurriedly: "I have already written to Wu Sangui, telling you about your perverse actions and humiliating his family for no reason. Within a month, Wu Sangui will definitely come to the city! Now, can the capital still hold?" ?”

"I boldly request Your Majesty to issue an edict of abdication. For the sake of all the people in the world, I will abdicate the throne to Li Zicheng, thus eliminating a military disaster. The Emperor will not lose his virtue of being obedient to nature and the people, and can still be crowned king and maintain his glory forever." Wealth.”

The others also knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please issue an edict to abdicate!"

Li Cunming breathed out a bad breath, and cursed: "Okay, the person who came is not kind, you are forcing the palace, treacherous ministers and sons!"

"The emperor please issue an edict to abdicate!" All the ministers were aggressive.

Li Cunming yelled: "Where is Gao Shiming, the eunuch with the handprint of the supervisor of ceremonies? Where is Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch who holds the pen? Where is the commander of Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing? Rebellious officials and thieves are forcing the palace, come quickly to escort!"

No one answered, and there was no movement in the palace.

Cao Huachun prostrated himself on the ground and said, "My lord, you should agree to the request of Zhang Butang and others. Gao Shiming, Fang Zhenghua and Luo Yangxing have already been arrested by Dongchang and died in prison!"

"Cao Huachun, you dog slave..." Li Cunming's face twitched.

Zhang Jinyan thought that the emperor was afraid, and he became more and more disrespectful. He patted the dust on the official robe and stood up, brazenly saying:
"Whether it's the army in the capital or the guards in the palace, they are all in our hands. Even if you are the emperor, but you have no soldiers around you, and you are truly alone, who can you count on to protect you?"

"Your Majesty, I have already prepared the abdication edict for you, you just need to use the seal. I assure you that as long as Your Majesty judges the situation, we will naturally not do things without a father or a king."

As he spoke, he took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Li Cunming.

Li Cunming slapped the document to the ground, pointed at Zhang Jinyan's nose and cursed angrily: "In my Ming Dynasty, there were ministers who surrendered, but there was never a king who surrendered! If you want me to be a subjugated king who begs for mercy, go dreaming!"

Zhang Jinyan said disdainfully: "Shengdou Xiaomin even knows the truth that those who understand current affairs are heroes, why bother to come here, Your Majesty?"

"Who should be aware of current affairs? Hahaha..." Li Cunming suddenly burst out laughing.

The rebellious officials and thieves are at a loss, Chongzhen has become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board, how can he still laugh, are you crazy?
Zhang Jinyan said angrily: "Smile, laugh, wait until we hand you over to Li Zicheng, and see if you still smile!"

Li Cunming stopped laughing, and said coldly, "When I don't laugh, it's your turn to cry. General Zhou, catch the traitor quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the side hall slammed open, and Wang Chengen rushed out first holding a sword, followed by hundreds of elite soldiers, and the sound of footsteps was like thunder.

"What's going on, where did the soldiers come from?" Zhang Jinyan hurriedly looked at Li Guozhen.

Li Guozhen shouted in despair: "It's a strange army! How could it be like this, how could it be like this?"

In the blink of an eye, a majestic general rushed to the front of the hall and shouted loudly: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, my Zhou Yuji's knife has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Zhou Yuji gave an order, and the elite soldiers swarmed up like wolves and tigers, and immediately controlled the situation.

Zhang Jinyan and the others had no room to resist at all, and they were immediately captured without a fight, their faces limp on the ground.

Wang Chengen trotted over and said with concern: "Your Majesty, this old slave was dying of anxiety just now, and his palms were full of sweat. You should have given the order earlier, why bother talking about things inferior to these pigs and dogs."

"Wang Daban, have you ever seen a cat catch a mouse? Before the cat eats the mouse, it always has to play with it. That's how it looks interesting."

Li Cunming smiled slightly, took the sword in Wang Chengen's hand, pointed at Zhang Jinyan and the others, and said chillingly, "Can you be convicted?"

The traitors knew that they were defeated and had to die, and seeing the cold and murderous look on the emperor's face, they were already ashamed and ashamed.

"If it wasn't for me waiting for the big ones and not enough manpower, if it wasn't for Zhou Yuji leading the troops into the palace, what would the emperor ask himself?" Zhang Jinyan was not reconciled.

"You're not convinced? Do you really think I've won by chance?" Li Cunming put a long sword across Zhang Jinyan's neck.

Zhang Jinyan said: "I waited for thousands of calculations, but I really didn't count that the emperor would secretly order Zhou Yuji to lead troops into Beijing and hide in the palace."

Li Cunming snorted coldly: "There are still many things you haven't counted!"

Then he smiled and said: "Gong Aiqing, Liu Aiqing, you have done a great job, thank you for your hard work!"

"Doing things for the emperor, the minister dare not say bitterness."

Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing kowtowed to their feet and stood beside the emperor in full view.

The treacherous ministers were so taken aback that their jaws almost fell to the ground.

Dumbfounded, Zhang Jinyan was completely dumbfounded!

He remembered that in recent days, Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing had flattered him in every possible way, but he followed suit and donated a lot of gold and silver treasures, saying that he hoped that one day Master Zhang would recommend him to Li Zicheng.

Originally, Zhang Jinyan and others didn't want to force the palace. After all, it was too risky. They just need to wait for Li Zicheng's army to arrive in the capital, open the city gate and surrender.

But after the morning court today, Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing tried their best to encourage him, saying that Chongzhen had gone against the grain and robbed the wives and concubines of his ministers. This was because he had gone crazy because the end was approaching, and he should have taken action earlier.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinyan felt like falling into an ice cave, and spit out a mouthful of blood in a panic: "It turns out that they are chess pieces that the emperor placed beside us. What a good way, I am convinced to lose!"

The other traitors also wanted to understand the key points, and suddenly they felt like thunder, and felt cold all over their bodies, stunned and completely desperate.

Li Cunming played with their complicated expressions, and wanted to fight with me, you are the bamboo shoots in March, so tender.

You think I'm on the first floor, but I'm actually on the fifth floor; you think I'm on the fifth floor, but I'm actually on the atmosphere!

Zhang Jinyan spat out several mouthfuls of blood one after another, and said weakly: "I still have two things I can't figure out. With Gong and Liu as internal responses, the emperor will naturally know our every move. But why did he just watch Gao Shiming and others get killed, and why did he just watch Gao Shiming and others get killed?" Why do you have to instigate me to wait for the palace?"

"If Gao Shiming and the others are not killed, how can I give you the illusion that you are sure of victory? If you don't force the palace, I will not be able to get your heads. If I can't get your heads, what will I use to ask the ministers for silver taels? The treasury is empty. , I am short of money!"

Zhang Jinyan felt a chill in his heart, closed his eyes and said: "The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, I have learned the lesson. I have no other words, but I hope you will die!"

Li Cunming said: "Don't worry, I will definitely kill you treacherous people. But if you want to die quickly, there is no such thing as cheap in the world. I will let you wait until you die!"

"Ding, get Zhang Jinyan's negative emotion value of 3000"

"Ding, get Li Guozhen's negative emotion value of 2000"

"Ding, get Cao Huachun's negative emotion value of 1000"
