At that moment, Zhu Yihai painfully wrote two edicts and used the emperor's seal.When he wrote these two edicts, he betrayed his loyal courtiers and the Jiangbei soldiers who fought for him.Let the courtiers who are loyal to him not only not receive rewards, but also be treated fairly in the future and bear the stigma of history.Zhu Yihai's heart was dripping blood, he hated Zhao Ming, and he hated his compromise even more.He knew that when the edict was delivered, he would lose it forever, loyal courtiers, he abandoned loyal ministers, and courtiers also abandoned him, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he had to do what Zhao Ming wanted.Zhao Ming claimed that someone in the court harmed him, but he didn't directly say that Zhu Yihai wanted to kill him, but he didn't want to completely tear his face.The purpose is to define this incident as a rebellion by someone in the DPRK and China, who wanted to assassinate Zhao Ming to the detriment of Zhu Yihai, and Zhao Ming put down the rebellion and kept the safety of Jiangshan Sheji and Zhu Yihai.In this way, Zhao Ming would not have to bear the notoriety of killing the monarch, and he would not completely tear his face.If Zhu Yihai doesn't give an order, things will develop to this point, and Zhao Ming can only kill Zhu Yihai and bear the name of killing the king.And since he killed Zhu Yihai, Zhao Ming had no way back, so he could only destroy the Zhu family and replace him.Zhu Yihai is not afraid of death, but afraid that Zhao Ming will directly seek to seize the Zhu family, then he is the sinner of the Zhu family, and he has no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors.Therefore, he can only give in and sacrifice those who are loyal to him and fight for him.The big seal was stamped on the two holy decrees, and Zhu Yihai's eyes instantly dimmed, and his heart was like ashes.Seeing this, Zhao Ming made a look, Li Chengdong immediately stepped forward, received two holy decrees from the desk, took the jade seal, and turned around to present it to Zhao Ming."
King!"
Li Chengdong knelt on one knee and held it high above his head.Zhao Ming took the holy decree and the big seal from Li Chengdong's hand, handed the seal to Wang Shuang to put it away, and read the holy decree one by one, and was immediately overjoyed: "The emperor is wise!"
”"General Li, guard the main hall, don't let people disturb the Emperor!"
Zhao Ming commanded casually.Although Zhu Yihai has not officially abdicated, Zhao Ming can't wait to change his title.Li Chengdong understood that it meant that Zhu Yihai was under house arrest, "Oh!
Rest assured!
”Zhao Ming nodded, then turned around directly and led the generals out of the hall.Standing on the steps of Fengtian Temple, Zhao Ming was full of emotion, his eyes swept over the majestic palace and square, his heart was stirring, full of pride, the era of Zhao someone had finally arrived.Zhao Ming's eyes were half loud, and then he handed over a holy decree to Dang Shousu, "The Qing family will immediately bring the holy decree to Linggu Temple!"
”Dang Shousu took the holy decree, "The minister obeys the order!"
”Zhao Ming said to Wang Dana again: "You go to welcome King Gui, and then summon the civil and military officials of Nanjing to enter the palace." ”"Whoa!"
Wang Dana saluted excitedly.Outside the Linggu Temple in ~~~~~~, nearly 10,000 Han troops surrounded the temple and attacked, and 3,000 Jiangbei troops, under the command of Zhang Mingzhen, resisted desperately.Inside and outside the temple, arrows are intertwined, muskets are fired, and explosions are repeated.In front of the mountain gate, inside the temple, there were corpses thrown to death everywhere.At this time, when the battle was raging, a group of cavalry galloped into the main camp of the Han army.Not long after, under the banner of the Han army, the sound of gold sounded, and the Han soldiers who attacked the temple retreated one after another, leaving hundreds of corpses.The Han army retreated, and the Jiangbei army that held the temple did not have the slightest joy, without the direct threat of the Han army, and the blood of the defenders gradually cooled down with the silence of the battlefield, and had to consider the current situation.In the temple, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army are all over, holding weapons or standing, or lying, the heart is panicked, morale is low, except for the groans of the wounded soldiers, the temple is exceptionally quiet.Zhang Mingzhen pressed his sword, walked through the soldiers, sat on a stone bench, and a personal soldier was bandaging his wounds.At this time, Ruan Jin walked among the wounded soldiers, came to Zhang Mingzhen, who was wrapped in bandages on his chest and waist, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is no movement over there in Nanjing!"
”When Zhang Mingzhen heard this, he lowered his head and sighed, "Got it." ”There is no movement in Nanjing, and there can only be one explanation, that is, the Han army has taken control of the palace and Zhu Yihai.That is to say, Zhang Mingzhen and the three thousand dead soldiers of the Jiangbei Army have failed.Now, it is no longer meaningful to continue fighting, it is just to increase casualties, but Zhang Mingzhen does not intend to surrender, without the order of Emperor Zhu Yihai, he will fight to the death and will never give in to Zhao Ming.At this time, at the mountain gate, a few people suddenly came in, in addition to the embarrassed Jiangbei Army general, there was another person, but he was dressed as a captain of the Han Army.Several generals brought him to Zhang Mingzhen, and one of them saluted: "Your Highness, the envoy of the Han army has arrived, saying that there is a will from the palace to be transmitted." ”Zhang Mingzhen sat on the stool with a pestle in one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Bring it here!"
”The captain of the Han army stepped forward, holding a holy decree in his hand, and said: "The emperor's edict said, Zhang Mingzhen and others plotted to kill the king of Han and rebelled, and the crime was extremely evil, so he should surrender immediately and wait for the court to fall!"
”"What?"
Before the captain of the Han military academy finished reading it, he was grabbed by Ruan Jin and took it to watch for himself."
It's not true~ How could this be~ Why did His Majesty make such a will~" Ruan Jin's face was full of pain and couldn't believe it.The Jiangbei soldiers were for Zhu Yihai to get rid of Zhao Ming, but now they have become chaotic ministers and thieves, and many Jiangbei soldiers and soldiers can't accept it for a while, feeling that they have been betrayed and abandoned, and their hearts are extremely painful.After reading the contents of the holy decree, everyone's mentality collapsed, and they were betrayed by the people they were loyal to, and their faith in their hearts collapsed in an instant.Zhang Mingzhen laughed miserably and asked the captain of the Han military academy: "What about the king of Han attacking the palace?"
”The captain of the Han military academy said: "The king has entered the palace to protect His Majesty's safety!"
”Zhao Ming calculated, ordinary Han soldiers did not know, they all thought that Zhang Mingzhen and others were afraid of the great achievements of the Han King, and did not want the Han King to control the government, and under jealousy, they wanted to get rid of the Han King, blackmail the emperor, and monopolize the power of the court, and they all thought that the Jiangbei Army was in rebellion.When Zhang Mingzhen heard this, he already knew what was going on, Zhao Ming controlled Zhu Yihai, and in order to save his life, Zhu Yihai could only push the attack on Linggu Temple and the matter of killing Zhao Ming on his head.Zhang Mingzhen's face was sad for a while, and then he calmly said to the generals: "We lost!"
Surrender!
”Many officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei Army stood with their heads bowed and their hands down, all with dull eyes.After speaking, Zhang Mingzhen sent Ruan Jin and others to send the Han military captain out and let them prepare to surrender.At this time, Ruan Jin and the others had just taken a few steps mechanically, but Zhang Mingzhen suddenly stood up and yelled, "If you want to kill the king of Han, Zhang Mingzhen is also!"
”Then, in the exclamation of Ruan Jin and the others, he put the war knife on his neck and pulled it violently, and blood shot out."
Dashuai!"
Ruan Jin and the others cried urgently, and flew to grab the knife, but they were a step too late, only to see Zhang Mingzhen shoot blood from his throat, fall on his back, and his body fell heavily to the ground."
Handsome!""
Your Highness!"
Ruan Jin and the others rushed forward frantically, hugged Zhang Mingzhen's corpse, wept bitterly, and broke their hearts.Zhang Mingzhen's throat was bleeding, blood kept overflowing from Ruan Jin's fingers, and he said with grunting grief and indignation in his mouth: "Your Majesty ~ old minister ~ loyal ~" looked at Ruan Jin and the others again, and said intermittently: "Don't resent ~ Your Majesty ~" After finishing speaking, he died of anger, and when several relatives saw this, they suddenly pulled out a short knife, inserted it into their abdomen, and fell down in their bodies, and were directly martyred for the commander.Ruan Jin and other generals of the Jiangbei Army knelt around Zhang Mingzhen's corpse and cried incessantly, "Handsome~"......
