The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 833

Seeing the emperor's indignation, Wang Chengen felt that it was necessary to report the fate of some high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to the robbers. He said:
"Did Your Majesty not listen to their arguments? Chief Assistant Wei Daren surrendered to the burglars and ended up with his brains cracked to death. Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen led thousands of people from the Beijing camp to surrender and was forced to hang himself. All the men in the family died and all the female relatives were ruined .”

After all, Chongzhen was the Son of Heaven, and he didn't have any schadenfreude at all, but gritted his teeth and said, "The trespasser is so vicious, I wish I could kill that guy alive."

A bold laugh came: "Hahaha, it may not be impossible to break into the thief alive. Your Majesty, my main fleet has arrived at Fushan Port for supplies, and it should come to Huangjiawan Island in a few days. At that time, my lord will share with Your Majesty." Let’s talk about the plan to suppress the thieves.”

It was Liu Guozheng who had just entered the door and heard Chongzhen's words, and told him with a smile that the King of the South would be here soon, and the countdown to the eradication of the intruders had begun.

Wang Chengen asked overjoyed: "Thank God, it really is Nan Wang who led the troops here in person? I wonder if I, Empress Daming, are accompanying me?"

This is what Chongzhen wanted to ask. Thinking of his wife, children and sister-in-law, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

That heart-wrenching spring night has become Chongzhen's nightmare, and the helplessness called Tiantianying still often makes Chongzhen wake up in a cold sweat from his sleep.

What would he have done if his wife and children had been in the Forbidden City?Where should the empress sister-in-law entrusted to him by the emperor's brother go?If Chongzhen realizes something at this time, is it destined in the dark?Why is it such a coincidence that Nan Wang does things?

Liu Guozheng felt a little guilty these days for betraying his master, but today he was in a particularly relaxed mood, because he sent Li Xihan to meet Nan Wang in person to report everything that happened these days in detail.

Liu Guozheng doesn't care whether it's merit or demerit, as long as he can be open and frank in front of Nan Wang, he feels that it is the greatest happiness.

Liu Guozheng smiled and said, "Empress Yi'an Zhang and Empress Zhou, as well as several princes and princesses are back, and the civil and military officials who took leave to attend the wedding are also traveling together."

Wang Chengen had mixed feelings for a moment, choked up and said: "Your Majesty, thanks to His Highness Nanwang, otherwise the queen and princes would have to suffer."

Immediately he will see his loved ones, Chongzhen is not calm, he said: "Lucky in misfortune! Otherwise, not only will I not be able to protect the country, but also my wife and children, and I will not be able to die in peace."

Liu Guozheng said: "Let's not talk about these bad things. I am happy today. How about having a few drinks with Your Majesty, the officer and General Ma?"

Chongzhen readily agreed, saying: "Yes, it's worth getting drunk, I'm going to drink to my heart's content today."

While Liu Guozheng and Ma Yue were happily drinking with Chongzhen, Li Xihan came to the flagship discussion cabin of the "Huaxia Wangjue" with anxiety.

Huang Sheng was not at all surprised to see Li Xihan, but Li Xihan felt at a loss for what to do. For the first time, this big man stood aside with his head down and didn't say a word.

He Xiang was the only person in the entire meeting room, and the quiet needle drop could be heard, and Li Xihan seemed to hear his heart beating wildly.

It took a long time for Huang Sheng to speak, "Why didn't you report back in time after the mission was completed, doesn't Nanming have military law?"

He Xiang is one of the chief officers of the Military Intelligence Department, Huang Sheng's concubine, and one of Huang Sheng's most trusted people. Knowing about the plan to rescue the Ming emperor, he is also staring at Li Xihan right now.

Li Xihan was terrified, raised his head and replied: "Your Highness, I am convicted. I, General Liu and General Qian believe that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has decided to commit suicide. Even if we save his life, we must make the fact of his suicide public. Waiting to secretly hide the Emperor Ming in the inner courtyard of His Highness Huangjiawan Island's mansion."

"Oh! Everyone has their own opinions. They dare to make decisions on such a big matter without authorization. The basic quality of obeying orders and obeying commands has been thrown out of the sky?"

Li Xihan was sweating profusely, but he still bite the bullet and said: "Your Highness, I have never forgotten to obey orders, but I think that Your Highness should win Daming and sit on the throne for the sake of the world.

The Great Mingzi Bintian is originally beneficial to 'Nanming'. It is enough for us to save his life, and the fact that he has died for the country is irreproachable. "

"Hmm! I've made great progress, and I'll fight for it." Huang Sheng, whose face was as heavy as water, said coldly.The majesty of the superior is undoubtedly revealed.

Li Xihan couldn't stand it anymore, knelt down with a "plop", and said: "Your Highness, I am willing to accept punishment, and I am worthy of my heart for what I have done!"

Seeing the bean-sized beads of sweat dripping from the fierce general kneeling on the ground, Huang Sheng's tone slowed down, and he said, "Okay, this matter is right or wrong for the time being! Get up and talk."

Li Xihan stood up as if he had been pardoned, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Is Your Majesty in good health and emotionally stable?"

"He's in good health, and he's in good spirits. We didn't treat him badly. There are special staff to take care of him every day. Chen and General Liu accompany him around Huangjiawan Island almost every day."

"Oh? Didn't Ming Wenwu see His Majesty and recognize him?"

"No, no, His Highness may not recognize him when he sees him now. He is shaved and dressed in the clothes of a fourth-rank military officer, and he looks the same as the military officer of 'Nanming'."

"It's strange, how could the stubborn Emperor Chongzhen be willing to be manipulated by you, and even disguised himself, and even shaved off his beard? You really didn't persecute him?"

"Xiaguan and General Liu know how to measure, how could they be disrespectful to him. It may be that he has learned to be flexible after experiencing the ruin of the country and family."

"Yes! The adversity of life and death is most instructive. Some changes in his character are quite possible."

……

After careful interrogation of Li Xihan, he learned that everything was fine with Chongzhen. He and Wang Chengen had a good life in Huangjiawan Island, and Chongzhen had grown stronger.

Huang Sheng's complexion gradually improved a lot, and his tone was not so harsh. Only then did Li Xihan heave a sigh of relief, thinking that this test has finally passed.

Huang Sheng didn't expect that Liu Guozheng and the others would make such an arrangement. This was an unexpected gain. Letting Chongzhen see with his own eyes that most of the Ming courtiers betrayed their sentences should severely damage his confidence in continuing to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. possible.

Now that Liu Guozheng and the others have done a good job, let's continue to work harder and let Chongzhen weigh the bargaining chip of family affection!
Huang Sheng clearly knew that the civil and military officials of Daming who were eager to see through Huangjiawan Island were waiting to be persuaded, but he was not in a hurry to go. He planned to let the cruise ships of the Empress and Prince of Ming come ashore and let them enjoy the joy of reunion after the catastrophe.

Of course, ministers headed by Wu Xiang, Liang Tingdong, and Gao Zhimou will board Huangjiawan Island together.

All of a sudden, they came back to the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty, and they must have had too many sighs and sighs when they joined the civil and military forces who had survived the military disaster in Gyeonggi.
