Although Emperor Chongzhen was very excited that these military chiefs from Southern Zhili came to greet him overnight, as an emperor, it is still necessary to put on airs. Chongzhen only saw them once and dismissed everyone except Lu Zhenfei and Zhang Huangyan.

Sent away.

These military leaders were stunned by Chongzhen's hot and cold attitude. They are still very afraid of this emperor. After all, others have such a strong army and the justice of the world.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen's power did not come from himself, but from the awe of his subordinates, and Zhou Shixian's battle today has re-strengthened this fear that was about to be lost.

After all, no matter who wants to rebel, they have to consider one question - are they worthy?

If you have just raised troops to rebel, you are besieged by other military leaders, and become a stepping stone for others to gain promotions, and even your subordinates rebel one after another, then you are just kidding with your life!

On the second day, Zhou Shixian also began to arrange the transfer of the holy cavalry team to Huai'an City.

However, before that, while one of the two stubborn civil servants, Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei, was still on the way and the other was still accompanying him, he quickly summoned Wang Chaodong and Zhang Hong.

"Consort, are you really...really going?" Wang Chaodong said hesitantly.

Even Zhang Hong, who has always been extremely arrogant, did not dare to speak at this time. When he was robbing the civil servants of the capital, he was not qualified to participate. Now Zhou Shixian regards him as a confidant and plans to let him participate in the "zero-yuan purchase".

"Come.

"What are you afraid of? Those are all thieves' money and are used for rebellion."

Zhou Shixian smiled sinisterly and said: "Otherwise, how do you think they got those millions of taels of property? Could it be that...the money is for rebellion, and they are the ones who want to rebel?"

Although Zhu Yousong lost his family fortune, several other vassal kings ran away with their capital. In the past few days, there were more than a dozen large ships floating outside Huai'an City, with gold, silver and jewelry worth at least one million taels.

How could Zhou Shixian let this military expenditure go?

They were still gathered in one place, so he just sent someone to pack them.

Zhou Shixian was never merciful towards the Zhu family.

"But, if the kings really come up with evidence..."

Chao Chaodong was still wary, and it was reasonable to rob civil servants. After all, they were not from the Zhu family, but now Zhou Shixian actually wanted to rob the vassal king, and even though he didn't go, he let him go.

"That's just right. If you grab them and burn them all, won't there be no evidence?"

Zhou Shixian patted Wang Chaodong on the shoulder and taught him how to do things: "Yesterday in the battle outside Qinghe County, the Holy Lord was killed, and thousands of people were killed and injured while escorting the army. This is the biggest truth. Anyone who dares to say otherwise is deceiving the emperor.

No matter. Can they afford this crime? Moreover, what are you going to do? Those who are hunting down the traitors have the Holy Purpose at their disposal. Who dares to stop you? Kill them!"

Wang Chaodong rolled his eyes in his heart. The prince-in-law's lies were getting worse and worse. The damage was obviously less than two hundred, but now it was thousands, but he also understood Zhou Shixian's determination - it seemed that he couldn't escape this.

It's a disaster.

Then, Wang Chaodong and Zhang Hong clasped their hands and sang "Hey", then left the Qinghe County government office with the imperial edict, and led their men to hurry towards the manor where Prince Fu and several other vassal princes were.

At the same time, Lu Zhenfei was forced to stay in Qinghe to discuss important matters on the pretext of dealing with the follow-up of the rebel army and strictly checking the number of troops of each military leader during the counter-insurgency. Zhou Shixian also returned his model camp.

Gave it to him.

Zhou Shixian naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity. Of course, with his current strength, he had no hope that Lu Zhenfei could find out anything. He just wanted to pick up the opportunity and beat these military leaders to establish his prestige.

The emperor's prestige and Lu Zhenfei's few soldiers can be used to show off their power, but asking them to hand over their bosses is still far from enough. If the number of soldiers could be ascertained so easily, there wouldn't be so much rubbish in the late Ming Dynasty.

Got it!

As for the holy cavalry, they naturally have to wait for Wang Chaodong and Zhang Hong to return before heading to Huai'an. After handling the goods, they will give the vassal kings a chance to file a petition, otherwise their work will be in vain.

Although Emperor Chongzhen also wanted to save face and maintain royal order, why didn't he want to raid the homes of these relatives?

Now that Zhou Shixian has done it for him, he will naturally not really blame it, let alone take any actual containment measures. Instead, he will feel relieved and even want to share some profits.

Of course, now is the "Tianjia Southern Hunt". The first thing is to stay in Huai'an for a few days, so that Shi Kefa, who is about to greet the emperor, can send someone to notify the courtiers in Nanjing to come to see him and restore the emperor's majesty...

.

In the current situation, it was natural for these ministers to come to see the emperor, instead of Chongzhen and Zhou Shixian leading a large number of people into the city in despair.

Wang Chaodong and Zhang Hong soon brought nearly 300 soldiers and horses from the Jinyi Guards and the Cavalry Department to the manor arranged by Lu Jiude for King Fu and the vassal kings. After subduing the guards of the manor, they personally led people in to seal it.

.

The dozen or so remaining servants of the feudal kings originally wanted to resist, but after Zhang Hong chopped one of them alive, they all calmed down and hid in the corner obediently.

After all, Wang Chaodong was directing the Jinyi Guards to ransack the house and move out boxes after boxes of belongings. They were all worried that they would be silenced if they saw it, so they had to pretend they didn't know anything.

The vassal kings watched the silver they brought from their fiefdoms being taken away. At first, some cried loudly and some risked their lives. They finally escaped with some silver from their fiefdoms, but they were short of hundreds of thousands.

Two taels of silver, more than four to five million taels, and many jewels. After losing their land, they planned to rely on this money to enjoy wealth. Now that they were robbed, wouldn't it cost them their lives?

But Wang Chaodong was labeled as a traitor, and with the blessing of the imperial edict, after getting Wang Chaodong's acquiescence, the Jinyiwei immediately started killing the few eunuchs who accompanied the vassal king. These weak-minded vassal kings

They didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, they just clamored to go to the Jinyi Guards and the military camp to seek justice from Emperor Chongzhen.

Wang Chaodong was not moved, but he sighed for them in his heart: "It's not my fault, but it's my fault that the prince-in-law was so ruthless that he didn't even spare his future relatives!"

Zhang Hong came to the backyard with two personal guards. Zhou Shixian specifically told him to ask Zhu Yousong to bring a letter. Since Lu Jiude has been incorporated, Zhou Shixian will definitely benefit from him.

However, as soon as Zhang Hong walked into the most luxurious courtyard of the manor, he heard a faint sound. When he walked to the attic and was about to knock on the door and go in, Zhu Yousong's voice came from inside:

"Come, let me do it..."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

A soft female voice came out, making Zhang Hong shiver.

Zhu Yousong didn't know about Lu Jiude's defeat yet, and was still enjoying himself at this time. After all, he was going to be emperor soon, so what else did he need to worry about?

Zhang Hong was still in awe of these vassal kings in his heart. After all, he was a member of the royal family. He did not dare to barge in directly, so he had to shout outside: "Your Majesty, the Holy One is already in Qinghe, and will be moving soon." Huai'an, Eunuch Lu asked Mo to bring a letter to the king, and he has already gone to see old King Fu."

These few sentences are extremely high-level and cannot be understood by outsiders, but people who know a little bit about the inside story will immediately know what happened.

"ah!"

A scream immediately came from inside. Zhang Hong sounded like the scream of a woman who fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
