Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

Hong Guan led Wei Zhongxian and others and walked step by step to the main hall. Accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, a large number of footsteps were heard in the dark night, and the wet clothes looked black.

At the entrance of the main hall, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered. Prince Xin and the Donglin Party members, under the protection of experts, were looking at Hong Guan and his group on the steps.

Just then, the rain stopped and torches were lit. Perhaps because of the cold, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian shivered unconsciously and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Brother, please come back and hand over the throne. I will revive the Ming Dynasty, and you can rest assured and cultivate yourself. How about that?"

Hong Guan snorted coldly, "Royal brother, you are so brave that you dare to bring people into the palace. It seems that the imperial guards have also been bribed by you. They actually opened the palace gate and let you in!"

"Brother Emperor, I had no choice but to do this. If you are so incompetent, the Ming Dynasty will be ruined if you are in my hands!"

"Haha, this Ming Dynasty belongs to me. I am appointed by heaven. If you want to steal my things, you should kill all your clans!"

Before Prince Xin Zhu Youjian wanted to say something, a leader of the Donglin Party stood up, took out a scroll of imperial edict, opened it and read it aloud. In fact, it was the so-called "crimes" of Hong Guan!

It's nothing more than the same old story, condoning the eunuchs to seize power, killing loyal and good people indiscriminately, not striving for progress, and indulging in women, so they want to purge the emperor's side!

If you don't know the truth, you would think they are really doing this for the country!

“Hahahaha, you Donglin Party members all live in big houses, have fine clothes and delicious food, and have countless fertile fields. Now you actually call yourselves loyal ministers and good generals. Have you ever seen that the people of the Ming Dynasty are living in dire straits and have no food to eat because of you?

When I was implementing the new policy, you were the ones who blocked it in order to enrich yourself. You pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed. Now you dare to enter the palace. You should all be executed by slow slicing!"

The Donglin Party members continued to talk nonsense. Hong Guan looked at Wei Zhongxian with a bit of amusement. "Banban, did you see that? Many of the people around them are your people on the surface."

Wei Zhongxian's clothes were soaked by the rain, and as he was old, he shivered in the late autumn wind. "This old slave is not good at judging people, and deserves death!"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "We only have one life. There is no crime that deserves death. Just be more careful next time."

The Donglin Party members also saw that Hong Guan was still in the mood to joke, and they immediately became angry and shouted, "Attack, and clear out the emperor's entourage!"

Hong Guan shouted, "Stop! I know that you are ordinary soldiers, just following orders. I will give you a chance. Now put down your weapons and retreat. I will forgive you and reward you with five taels of silver!"

If you kill the rebel superiors, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. If you join them in the rebellion, you will be killed without mercy and all your clans will be exterminated!"

Sensing the commotion of the soldiers, the general shouted, "Don't listen to the foolish king's lies. If we kill the pickled dog today, everyone will be promoted to a higher position. A meteoric rise will be just around the corner. Kill!"

Looking at the soldiers rushing up, Hong Guan shook his head speechlessly. This is the tragedy of the lower class people. They are so simple-minded that they are not even qualified to be pawns!

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

Lu Wenzhao took out the whistle arrow and shot it into the sky!

All the Donglin Party members were shocked and felt something was wrong. They saw countless heads appearing on the roofs around them, and arrows were constantly shooting at them!

In just one encounter, countless soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. The generals shouted, "Don't panic, raise your shields, defend, advance, kill the pickled dogs, and victory will be ours!"

A large shield soldier appeared, holding his shield in front of him, blocking the rain of arrows. Lu Wenzhao used his internal strength and shouted, "Switch to the crossbow, and shoot!"

The soldiers on the roof immediately changed to crossbows and shot arrows into the sky. Arrows rained down again. The Donglin Party members did not prepare so many shields, and the soldiers without protection at the back were immediately shot and killed in large numbers!

In a battle, if the casualties exceed 20%, it is easy for the soldiers to collapse. After two rounds of arrow rain, this mechanism has been triggered and the soldiers are retreating subconsciously.

Some timid people have already turned around and ran away. Such people have affected the morale of all the soldiers. Word of this spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and more and more soldiers are fleeing!

Hong Guan's voice sounded again, "Put down your weapons and you can live. Kill the rebellious superior and you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Although the reward was reduced tenfold, staying alive was what was important. One of the generals was slow to react and was stabbed five or six times in succession, falling to the ground covered in blood.

These soldiers had never been on the battlefield before. When someone took action, they immediately attacked their superiors with swords. If they were slow, they would have no chance!

The generals of the Donglin Party still wanted to keep the soldiers stable, so Hong Guan took out the magical bow and shot five arrows in a row. Five generals of the Donglin Party were shot dead on the spot, and several officials behind them were also pierced through!

Wei Zhongxian's shrill voice rang out, "Your Majesty, your majesty is mighty!"

Lu Wenzhao and others also joined in, and the new soldiers on the roof also began to shout "Wind, strong wind!"

The rebellious soldiers were leaderless and laid down their weapons in panic. Prince Xin and the Donglin Party looked as pale as death.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. We actually believed that you were about to die!"

"Royal brother, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. When you get to the underworld, think about how you're going to explain it to your ancestors!"

Prince Xin Zhu Youjian straightened his neck and said, "I am not wrong, you are wrong. You have ruined the Ming Dynasty. I am here to revive the Ming Dynasty!"

Hong Guan no longer had any interest in talking to him. He couldn't tell good from bad and couldn't fucking stand losing. What a loser!

"Take up your weapons, arrest them, and give them 100 taels if they are alive, and 10 taels if they are dead!"

Now the money is secondary. In order to let Hong Guan see that they are useful, the soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed forward like gluttonous dogs.

Although the death warriors around the Donglin Party were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not hold on at all and were quickly hacked to death!

Except for a few Donglin Party members who didn't have time to react and were hacked to death, all the others surrendered and were captured.

Hong Guan shook his head speechlessly. He can't do his job every day and just talks big. When it comes to the real thing, it's like the water is too cold. What's the difference between him and the boiled chicken of the Chinese national football team!

"Banban, I'll leave the rest to you. All the people in the Beijing camp, from the rank of lieutenant general and above, will be imprisoned. Send your people to stabilize the Beijing camp and prevent mutiny.

All members of the Donglin Party will be thrown into the Tianlao, interrogated strictly, evidence will be collected, made public, and beheaded on a chosen day! All their property will be confiscated, leaving nothing behind! "

"Yes, I understand! How should Prince Xin handle this?"

"We have also raided Prince Xin's mansion. As for Prince Xin, take him to the imperial study. I want to talk to him alone! Oh, and the wives of the criminal officials are being held in solitary confinement. I'll go check them out when I have time!"

Wei Zhongxian smiled and nodded, without saying anything more, he left with Lu Wenzhao and others.

Hong Guan did not go to the imperial study immediately, but came to the harem first. The defense forces here were all the poor women who were rescued in Hong Guan's dense forest manor.

Although there are only more than a hundred people, they are all learning top-level secret manuals and have an unlimited supply of medicinal liquor. Although they have only been practicing martial arts for a short time, their internal strength is at least at the level of Linghu Chong.

The equipment was tailor-made for Hong Guan. The sword techniques were the Pi Shui Sword Technique and the Dugu Nine Swords, and he was also equipped with a crossbow.

This equipment is stronger than that of the new army. Even if there are three to five thousand people, they will not be able to take it down in a short time!

Arriving at Zhang Yan's bedroom, Zhang Yan and other concubines immediately surrounded him and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Hong Guan smiled and shook his head. "It's okay. They are just local chickens and pottery dogs. I have already made arrangements. It's just that the court is going to have a major change this time."

Zhang Yan was still a little worried, but there were many concubines around her, so she didn't say anything. Hong Guan comforted them with a few words, asked the women in the Milin Manor to protect them, and went to the imperial study!

When I pushed the door open, I saw a brazier lit in the room, and Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, wearing his inner clothes, was warming himself by the fire!

"Royal brother, you are very comfortable!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Hong Guan with a pale face and said, "It doesn't matter if I feel uncomfortable. I don't believe that my brother will forgive me. I'm going to die anyway, so why make things difficult for myself!"

"Haha, well said. Do you still think you are right?"

Zhu Youjian did not raise his head and said in a low voice, "I am doing this for the Ming Dynasty. What's wrong with that?"

Hong Guan smiled, took out a History of Ming Dynasty, and handed it to Zhu Youjian, "Take a good look, our names are at the back!"

Zhu Youjian took it in confusion, flipped it back a few times, looked at it carefully, and soon his face changed drastically. When he saw himself hanged on Coal Hill, he stood up in disbelief!

"This is impossible. The Ming Dynasty actually perished in my hands! Where did this book come from? Is it because of this book that you have changed today?"

There were only Hong Guan and Zhu Youjian in the imperial study. Hong Guan simply stopped pretending. His bones crackled and he returned to his original height. He took off his human skin mask!

Zhu Youjian looked at Hong Guan at this moment and said sternly, "Who are you? Where is my brother?"

Hong Guan smiled calmly, "Haha, my name is Hong Guan, a man from the future. As for your royal brother, I am here, he is of course dead.

The Ming Dynasty can perish, but it cannot perish at the hands of the Tartars, so I am here, and you can go with peace of mind.

My identity will not be exposed, the name Zhu Youxiao will be remembered through the ages, and the world will still belong to your Zhu family!"

Zhu Youjian stared at Hong Guan fiercely. He remembered where he had heard the name Hong Guan. He had thought about recruiting Hong Guan at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted more and had already replaced Zhu Youxiao!

He pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but could no longer speak, and finally let out a sigh, "I hope you can keep your word. I, Zhu Youjian, am willing to die today in exchange for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hong Guan raised his hand and grabbed his neck, and with a click, Zhu Youjian was killed.

The next day, the blood in the palace had been washed away, and there was no trace of last night's killing. However, the entire capital was not peaceful, and it could even be said that there was a panic!

At the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, a large number of corpses were carried away, the homes of the ministers who had participated in the rebellion yesterday were constantly searched, and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were loaded into trucks, sealed and transported away in a continuous stream.

The prison was overcrowded, and the wails of those being tortured were endless.

The common people also felt that something big had happened. In the once bustling capital, the people all hid in their homes, not daring to come out, and all the shops were closed. Those shop owners who had connections with the Donglin Party were even more worried about being implicated and were very worried.

Even the few remaining people in the martial arts world left the capital as quickly as possible, fearing that they would be affected.
