Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 542 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the Country (31)

Later Jin.

After receiving news from spies that the Ming Emperor was going to lead an army in person to attack them, the people of Later Jin stopped fighting among themselves and got ready to destroy the Ming's fighting spirit.

It would be great if we could capture the Ming Emperor alive.

But they waited and waited, until Nurhaci was buried, until Huang Taiji ascended the throne, until the winter snow came, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty still did not appear at the border.

Looking at the snow-covered mountains and rivers, the Later Jin soldiers standing guard in the bitter cold wind couldn't help but swear.

"Damn it, when will the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty come?"

"It's been a few months now, he should have reached it even if he had to crawl."

Another soldier tightened his armor, his voice trembling with cold.

"If the Ming Emperor doesn't come soon, I feel like I'm going to freeze to death here."

"If we die on the battlefield, we can at least earn some military merit. But if we freeze to death standing guard here, we won't get anything."

"Brother, do you think the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty got scared halfway through the journey and turned back to the capital?"

The soldier who had spoken first shook his head, "Who knows?"

Beijing.

Just as people were preparing for the New Year, a coup quietly took place.

At first, a group of people rushed into the residence of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, intending to kill him first.

After all, Zhu Youxiao was the emperor emeritus. If he had not died, even if these people successfully seized the throne, it would not be legitimate.

But when they arrived at Zhu Youxiao's mansion, they did not find Zhu Youxiao, but only saw Ke Shi paralyzed in bed.

Because they failed to find Zhu Youxiao as planned, and because of their usual hatred for Wei Zhongxian, the rebel leader was so angry that he picked up a knife and killed Keshi.

The same scene also occurred in Zhu Youjian's Prince Xin's Mansion.

Hearing the noisy sound outside, Zhu Youxiao, who was making tea with Zhu Youjian around the fire, frowned slightly.

"Fifth brother, what's going on outside?"

Before Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, the steward of Prince Xin's mansion came running over in a hurry: "Prince, it's bad, our mansion has been surrounded by rebels."

"What? This is Prince Xin's Mansion, who dares to surround it?

Upon hearing what the housekeeper said, Zhu Youxiao slammed the table and stood up, saying with a bad look on his face.

Compared to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian seemed much calmer: "Let the palace soldiers protect the palace and don't let anyone in."

"yes ."

The butler bowed hastily and left quickly.

Looking at the back of the steward of Prince Xin's Mansion as he hurriedly left, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly. Somehow, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Why would someone surround Prince Xin's mansion in broad daylight? If Prince Xin's mansion was surrounded, what about his own residence? Could something have happened there too?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's face turned pale, "Oh no, my wife is still in the mansion."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing Zhu Youjian's actions, Zhu Youjian quickly stood up and stopped him.

"Brother, it's dangerous outside. Where are you going?"

Looking at Zhu Youjian who was standing in front of him, Zhu Youxiao reached out to push him with a bad look on his face.

"The rebels have surrounded your Prince Xin's Mansion. I'm afraid they might have surrounded my mansion as well."

"My wife is paralyzed in bed and can't move at all. If the rebels really went to my house, my wife might be in danger. I have to go back and check on her."

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was still thinking about Keshi, Zhu Youjian sighed in his heart and advised helplessly: "Brother, my mansion has been surrounded. You can't get out now."

Zhu Youxiao frowned, "What should I do? I can't just leave my wife alone."

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's anxious face, Zhu Youxiao was somewhat helpless: "Brother, the sisters-in-law are all in the palace."

"The rebels even surrounded my residence. I think they have people in the palace as well."

After hearing what Zhu Youjian said, Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment, "There are guards in the palace..."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Youjian sighed and said, "Brother Huang, please don't leave yet. Wait until the guards in my house have wiped out all the rebels. Then I will send people to your house to protect Madam Fengzhi."

Listening to the noisy fighting outside, Zhu Youxiao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao agreed, Zhu Youjian asked someone to guard the door to protect Zhu Youxiao, while he went out to command the battle.

He and His Majesty had long anticipated the rebellion by the Donglin Party and the royal family, so it was impossible that they were unprepared.

Your Majesty believes that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. If the Ming Dynasty's parasites are not eliminated, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to defeat the Later Jin.

Therefore, your Majesty's trip to the front line this time is just a cover. They just want to lure you into a trap and catch all the parasites in the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

With the pretext of rebellion, no matter how they dealt with these rebels, it was justified, and even later history books could not find any fault with them...
