The gate of the palace began to lock in succession, and the lanterns on the corridors were also extinguished one after another. Except for a few places, there were lights, the entire palace was hidden in the darkness.

Under the candlelight, Wang Fu stared at his hands in a daze. The orange candlelight reflected on his palms, and the red ones were like blood.

This is the emperor. When the emperor is angry, he is buried in a thousand miles. This is just an exaggeration. After all, he ordered that nearly a thousand people died of misfortune. Although these people deserve to die, Wang Fu still felt a little nervous. After all, these people have not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Is it too cruel to kill them like this? Everyone is just for the sake of life. He is determined to escape. How noble is he than these people?

If it were Yan Yingyuan, Huang Degong and others who knew that everything they had done was just to escape, would they even treat themselves as emperor?

I don’t want to do this either. If I could revive the Ming Dynasty, I would also like to be a hero who turns the tide. But if I choose between a hero and a hero, I just want to live even more.

No, if you don’t kill these people, more people will die at their hands, and it’s right to want to survive, but this is not the reason to turn around and massacre your comrades.

"Bang." The teacup in Ma Shiying's hand slid to the ground. The valuable porcelain produced by the official kiln turned into shattering. Hot water from the tea was sprinkled on Ma Shiying's feet, but Ma Shiying didn't realize anything. There were only four words in his ears echoing, and the sky was about to collapse.

It was not just Ma Shiying who broke the tea tonight, Wang Duo, Gao Hongtu, Liu Zongzhou, Jiang Yueguang, Zhang Shenyan, Qi Biaojia... This is when the ministers in the court learned that the emperor sent the Yulin Guard generals Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing to kill them, they all felt dizzy. Everyone felt that the sky was about to collapse. They never thought that the emperor would be so crazy. As for Gao Jie and Huang Degong, some people said they were also killed by the emperor, and some people said they were just temporarily under house arrest. Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing were killed by the emperor, but it was undoubtedly true. The sound of killing in the two houses was shocking. The brave residents nearby saw the Yulin Guard dragging the bodies out with their own eyes.

Many Donglin Party members cursed Ma Shiying, Lu Jiude and others, saying that if King Lu was established, such a thing would have happened, and at the same time, they felt a little happy. If the four towns in Jiangbei were not the first to support King Fu, how could King Fu become the emperor? Unexpectedly, he died in an accident. Tonight was destined to be a night that made countless people insomnia.

Early the next morning, almost all the ministers came outside the palace early. Since Wang Fu changed the morning court time, there has not been a day when the ministers came so early. If you look closely, you will find that many ministers have obvious shadows in their eyes, and it is obvious that they did not sleep well last night.

"Sir, Master."

Seeing Ma Shiying coming, Wang Duo, Qian Qianyi, Zhao Zhilong, Liu Kongzhao and others greeted him one after another. Gao Hongtu, Liu Zongzhou, Jiang Yueguang, Qi Biaojia and other officials from the backbone of the Donglin Party deliberately turned their heads aside, and the other party exchanged glances.

Because the emperor was too quick to attack Liu Liangzuo and others, the ministers who received the news last night had no time to communicate with others. Some ministers even got the news this morning. They needed to seize the time before going to court to exchange views with other ministers quickly. After a while, outside the palace seemed to have become a market, and officials from all over the country began to discuss in a low voice.

"Hey, isn't that Jingnan Hou?" A sharp-eyed official immediately shouted when he saw Huang Degong's figure.

Everyone stopped talking and looked around. Jingnan Hou, the four towns in Jiangbei, did not have the most troops, but the most elite and the strongest. Didn’t they say that they were also under house arrest by the emperor?

Although Huang Degong was not full of spring breeze at this time, he did not look like he was under house arrest. The most delighted was Ma Shiying. The four towns in Jiangbei were not only supporters who supported the emperor's ascension to the throne, but also his capable foreign aid for the chief assistant. If the emperor suddenly knocked down all the towns in Jiangbei, he would not have to wait for Zuo Liangyu or others to raise an army, and he would be shaky as the chief assistant.

"Marquis Jingnan, what happened last night? Why did the emperor kill Guangchang Bo and Dongping Bo, and where was Xingping Bo?" Ma Shiying's series of questions immediately emerged, and others also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Huang Degong said.

"Sir, I'm very sorry, only the emperor can explain these things." Huang Degong's answer disappointed everyone, but he was unable to force Huang Degong to answer, so he had to divide them into small circles and discuss them in a low voice.

Ma Shiying looked at Huang Degong in a daze. He felt sad that he had no prestige at all, and a feeling of powerlessness appeared in his heart. At this moment, he, who had always been keen on power, even wanted to leave.

"I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"You all have a good time." Wang Fu's voice was a little hoarse. He didn't sleep well last night.

"If you have something to say, you will leave the court without anything to do." After the eunuch's sharp voice sounded, the hall showed a strange calm. All the ministers looked at their noses and their hearts, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.

"Since everyone doesn't say it, then I will just say it myself. Guangchang's uncle Liu Liangzuo and Dongping's uncle Liu Zeqing colluded with the Qing throne and planned to treason. Yesterday, I wanted to give the two a chance to refute, but I didn't expect that when they learned that the conspiracy was exposed, they suddenly launched an attack, intending to hold me hostage, but were killed by the guards on the spot. The Marquis of Jingnan can testify about this."

It is said that Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing killed Liang and made achievements, and poisoned the place was a thing of the past. Whether Wang Fucheng admitted it or not, these two people had the merit of supporting each other. If they were punished for the past mistakes, all the ministers would not accept it even if they were convinced. They would simply give them a surrender to the Qing throne, intending to hold their own charges. As for how many people believed it, Wang Fu would not care about so much.

Liu Zongzhou gave a wink, and a censor stood up: "Report to the emperor, the emperor said that Guangchang Bo and Dongping Bo had colluded with the Qing emperor. I wonder if there is any evidence?"

"Of course, Liu Liangzuo's brother is a senior official in the Qing Dynasty. It is hard to say that the two have no contact. This time, the two of them use their troops to suppress me with their consent to use the enemy to suppress the enemy. This is all evidence."

When they heard the enemy Pingce, many officials couldn't help but twist their bodies. Just yesterday, everyone was discussing this matter in the court, and Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing did have an aggressive intention. Could it be that the emperor killed two people because of this? Some ministers couldn't help but feel cold in their necks, and they seemed to have been following the instructions yesterday.

"Emperor, Liu Liangzuo did have his brother serving in the Qing barbarians. He just wanted to say that they had contact with each other. The emperor was just speculating, which was not enough to prove it. The ministers in the court were discussing the plan to suppress the enemy. If the emperor used this to punish Guangchang Bo and Dongping Bo, I would think it was inappropriate."
