Chapter 38 Lure to the palace
No one knew why Li Xin appointed Huang Wu and Hu Ba to issue the imperial edict. In fact, in history, after King Fu was beheaded by Li Zicheng, these two people cried and asked to collect the burial of King Fu. Li Zicheng pity his loyalty and agreed to what he asked. The two people put King Fu's body in a coffin and both committed suicide in front of the coffin.
This is true loyalty. Li Xin used King Fu's life and death as a threat, and was not afraid of demon moths. However, he could not let go completely, so he sent several personal guards to follow him to pass the order.
After the few people left the palace, Li Xin looked at the remaining eunuchs and sneered: "From now on, King Fu will be enough to serve Huang Wu and Hu Ba. There is no need for so many father-in-laws. My revolutionary army will not raise idle men. If someone comes, he will be killed after he is killed!"
"You...Li Xin, you are so brave!"
"Our family is willing to be loyal to the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Prince, Prince, let me have a love for me!"
A group of eunuchs were panicked, some cursed, some begged for mercy, and some ran away. Even King Fu's expression changed drastically and begged in a low voice: "Commander-in-Chief, these servants have been with Xiao Wang for many years. Please ask the Commander-in-Chief not to look at the monks and look at the Buddha's face, give Xiao Wang a face and spare them for death."
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Your words are bad. Such a slave, who deceives you, how much money has you been damned in the past twenty years, and how many innocent people have been forced to destroy their families in the name of the prince? They have gained the benefits and are notoriously famous on the prince. If the prince dies in the future, he will go to the eighteen levels of hell and suffer endless suffering for billions of years. With such a vicious intention, will the prince still plead for it? Come on, drag it down!"
A group of warriors like wolves and tigers rushed into the hall, dragging the eunuchs up and running to the back hall, forcing them to kneel in a row, pointing guns at the back of their heads. After a call, the fuse rippled and then a burst of gunfire sounded, and more than ten eunuchs fell into a pool of blood.
Li Xin is a modern person and cannot accept beheading or even the more cruel beheading and lingchi. Therefore, he changed the death penalty to shooting guns, and executing prisoners with guns is also a subtle act that can cultivate the recognition of guns in the army.
The residual power of the cold air is still raging. Although the rain is getting smaller, the wind is increasing. Falling leaves are sprinkling the entire courtyard. It is also a blessing that the royal palace was robbed in time. Otherwise, the entire army would not even have enough winter clothes for the winter.
After all, the guards of the royal palace are not ordinary Ming soldiers. They are all fat and have prepared several sets of brand new winter clothes. Now they are all cheaper than the soldiers. Even if it is not enough, there are also a large amount of silk and cotton cloth in the royal palace, which can be made in full.
In fact, for many people, before last night, they might not have lived a life of warm clothes and fullness, so they were extremely motivated. In a moment, the eunuch's body was dug and buried on the spot, and the blood stains on the ground were cleaned. The former Minister of War of Nanjing Lu Weiqi also rushed to the royal palace first.
Lu Weiqi was from Xin'an, a backbone of the Donglin Party and one of the leaders of the Southern Silin. When he was the Minister of War in Nanjing, he established Fengba Dashe to give lectures. He was dismissed by Chongzhen for the unfavorable suppression of bandits and came to Luoyang to establish the Yiluo Society, which had a strong temperament of a great Confucian scholar.
"The prince has an order, please go to Fu'an Palace to wait for the emperor."
A personal guard stopped the entourage and said with a cold face.
Lu Weiqi always felt that the royal palace was much deserted than before, and in the past, the eunuch came out to receive it, but today it was replaced by a guard. After closer inspection, the guard's face was very strange, full of fierce aura, not as fat as other guards, and had no energy. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is Eunuch Liu?"
The guard said, "Eunuch Liu has not come back from the palace to do business yet. Sir, please don't let the prince wait for a long time."
"Have you been working!"
Lu Weiqi didn't think much about it, and bowed his hand and walked towards the hall. After all, he would never have thought that the palace had changed overnight.
After entering the hall, the palace maids served tea. The palace maids seemed uneasy. When he frowned and looked over, a palace maid exclaimed and almost hit the teacup. The guards outside the hall even looked threatening, which made him feel more and more confused, but he still didn't think about it.
Gradually, Wang Yinchang, Wang Shaoyu, Feng Prefecture, Guard Procurator and Zhang County came one after another and were welcomed into the hall by the guards. These were all old men in the officialdom. They discovered the abnormalities in the royal palace one after another and exchanged eyes. Fortunately, a short time later, a shout came: "The prince is here!"
Everyone quickly stood up to greet him, but saw King Fu's face fading, and appeared from the back hall under the escort of dozens of guards.
Now even a fool could see that something was wrong. Lu Weiqi didn't care about the salute and shouted, "Prince, what's going on?"
"this……"
King Fu looked at Li Xin who was following him in embarrassment.
"Play!"
Li Xin slapped his palms and said loudly: "Dear sirs, students will introduce themselves first. My name is Li Xin, the former scholar of Qi County, was framed by the county magistrate, and killed him in anger. He gathered some like-minded brothers to establish the Chinese Revolutionary Army and serve as the commander-in-chief. I wanted to follow Song Gongming to practice the way for heaven, so I came to Luoyang to have a long talk with the prince.
Since the end of the Supreme Leadership, he has been impoverished by evil people, internal and external difficulties, and his country has been declining. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty is in danger, the prince is the beloved son of Emperor Shenzong and cannot bear the destruction of the country for three hundred years. Therefore, he was angry and wanted to do things with me to clear the kingdom, clear the court's principles, and restore the righteousness of the world. I also ask you to join us to participate in the grand ceremony!"
"What?"
"You are Li Xin?"
The faces of the few people below changed drastically!
Li Xin probably didn't know that he had become a celebrity in Henan Province. After all, scholars rebelled, and he was the first in the world. This is different from Niu Jinxing and Xu Yixian who defected to Zhang Xianzhong. Other literati were thieves. He was a thief and was even worse in nature. Chongzhen was also angry and ordered Li Xianfeng to capture Li Xin to the capital and execute him.
After the initial shock, everyone came to their senses. It was obvious that Li Xin held King Fu hostage!
Lu Weiqi's face suddenly darkened and shouted, "Li Xin, you are also a scholar and have a bright future. Why should you be that scumbag? I still have some shame in the court and the country. If you sincerely regret it, you may not be able to plead for you in front of the emperor and forgive your death penalty."
Prefect Feng also advised: "Mr. Li, your family is burdened by the grace of the Ming Dynasty. Don't be ashamed of your ancestors!"
“Hahahaha~~”
Li Xin laughed loudly, but the laughter stopped abruptly and shouted: "This commander supports the prince's righteousness, how can you say shame? You two dare to slander me, come, slap your mouth!"
He Hu came forward in person, smiled grimly, grabbed Lu Weiqi and slapped it with big ears.
"Smack!"
Li Xin didn't stop, He Hu didn't stop. His rough figure was quite shocking. Lu Weiqi was grabbed by his neck like a twisted hen, and his head kept swaying from side to side with the slap.
Huang Hai and Xing Wu greeted the prefect, one of them cut his arms back and forth, and the other one started to slap in the hall, and the faces of Lu Weiqi and Feng were flushed red.
