Even if Sun Chuanting did not order a murder, the aura revealed by the vicious Huai Army made the Qingzhe dare not enter the temporary palace of Emperor Chongzhen. These veterans of wars showed a murderous aura.

After Li Guodong persuaded the tenants to withdraw, the Huai Army escorted 2,500 factory guards and rushed to Gaoyou, but the road was not smooth.

"Eunuch Wang, Wu Wei Bo, and Liu Zeqing's army stationed in Gaoyou by 100,000. If we go straight to Gaoyou, we may fall into the trap." One person didn't accept it at night and reported.

"It's bad, the situation has changed." Wang Chengen shook his head dejectedly, "Wu Weibo, can we still confiscate Wang Yongji's home now?"

"Eunuch Wang, please give your Majesty a memorial first, and ask your Majesty to issue an edict to Liu Zeqing, ordering him to lead his army to Huai'an to protect the emperor! If Liu Zeqing resists the order, we have to send troops to attack him." Li Guodong said.

"Okay, then our family will report to the emperor first." Wang Chengen nodded, and then asked someone to take out paper and pen and write a letter to Chongzhen, giving it to him, and asked him to send the letter to Chongzhen quickly.

Originally, Liu Zeqing was stationed in Huai'an, but when Chongzhen arrived in Xuzhou, he issued an edict to him and asked him to come to Xuzhou to welcome him. Liu Zeqing, who had a ghost in his heart, dared to go to Xuzhou? So he fled from Huai'an and ran to Gaoyou in one breath. Because Huai'an is a must-pass place for the canal, although Liu Zeqing had a 100,000 army, he was afraid of Li Guodong and did not dare to stay in Huai'an. As a result, he ordered that the troops in Huai'an would rob him and fled to Gaoyou. When Emperor Chongzhen arrived in Huai'an, Liu Zeqing had already run to Gaoyou with the robbed gold, silver and treasures.

The west bank of Huai'an Canal, Chongzhen Palace.

Huai'an City on the other side is very lively, and its prosperity is not inferior to that of the capital. After all, this is the location of the canal and the famous transit place in the middle of the canal. After nightfall, Huai'an City opposite Chongzhen Palace is still bright and bright, and a prosperous scene.

But Emperor Chongzhen would rather stay in the palace than step into Huai'an City on the other side. He knew that he had poisoned the gentry along the way. At this time, many people were eager for Chongzhen to die soon. Huai'an was the territory of gentry and merchants. Chongzhen stepped into Huai'an City and might soon die in Huai'an.

The next morning, the messenger sent by Wang Chengen came to Chongzhen's palace and handed Wang Chengen's letter to Cao Huachun, who immediately transferred the letter to Chongzhen.

"Okay, I will issue another edict to Liu Zeqing to see if he comes!" Chongzhen said gritting his teeth after reading the letter.

The second edict ordered Liu Zeqing to protect his lord was sent to Gaoyou, but Liu Zeqing was not in Gaoyou. At this time, he was in Yangzhou City.

In Yangzhou City, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing and others from the four towns in Jiangbei, as well as the Minister of War Shi Kefa, who was sent to Yangzhou by the pseudo-superminating king Fu, as well as Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, Yangzhou General Liu Zhaoji, Shi Dewei, Shi Kefa's adopted son, and others gathered together.

What happened to the Fu King in Nanjing? Because the capital was lost, Chongzhen didn't know whether it was dead or alive. Later, a small official who fled back from the capital came to news that Chongzhen set fire to the Huangji Palace and burned himself inside, and had already died in his country. So the eunuch Lu Jiude of Nanjing ignored the opposition of Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa. With the help of the four towns in Jiangbei, he invited Fu King Zhu Yousong from Huai'an to Nanjing and temporarily served as the supervisor.

King Fu was unfaithful and unfilial in the vassal state. Shi Kefa strongly opposed King Fu's temporary role as the governor, but he had no soldiers. Lu Jiude colluded with the four towns in Jiangbei to welcome King Fu to Nanjing. When he learned the news, King Fu Zhu Yousong had already become the governor. Although Shi Kefa was angry, he had no choice.

Now that the news that Chongzhen is still there is heard, Shi Kefa naturally wants to gather all the four towns in Jiangbei to make them give up supporting King Fu and support the orthodox Chongzhen.

Shi Kefa said slowly: "Everyone, since His Majesty Chongzhen is still alive, then he is the orthodox of my Ming Dynasty. You are now in Nanjing and immediately arrest Lu Jiude and order King Fu to withdraw from his position as the governor."

Liu Zeqing was the first to jump up to oppose: "Master Shi Ge, since the tyrant monarch lost the capital, he has no longer been my great emperor! What's more, the tyrant monarch went south and poisoned the people. In Linqing, Shandong, he condoned the eunuch party king Cheng'en and the rebel thief Li Guodong indiscriminately killed innocent people and massacred the people, and rebuked the factory guards. The eunuch party king Cheng'en and Zhang Shuheng searched their homes everywhere, killing countless scholars, and harming Shandong. The atrocities of the tyrant monarch were angered by both humans and gods! What qualifications does he have to be the emperor? He should be the King of Blessings!"

Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and others also agreed: "Yes, the foolish monarch favors the rebel thief Li Laoer, the eunuch Wang Chengen, Zhang Shuheng and others, he is no longer qualified to be the emperor! He should be the King of Fu ascend the throne!"

"I, Mr. Huang, disagree!" Huang Degong, with a beard on his face, stood up, "Chongzhen is the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty. How could he abandon orthodox and establish the King of Fu? Your actions are unfaithful and unrighteous!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Liangzuo laughed: "Huang Junmen, you have a share in supporting King Fu! If Chongzhen's tyrant king came to Nanjing, you and I would be guilty of treason! Wasn't it that the tyrant king's lackey Li Lao Er was arrested and chopped down his head and destroyed the nine clans?"

"Huang Junmen, think about it carefully. If you don't stand aside with us, the foolish lord may even chop your head together!" Liu Zeqing said.

Huang Degong said angrily: "Liu Hezhou (Zeqing)! When Huang heard that when His Majesty arrived in Xuzhou, he issued an order to you and asked you to go to Xuzhou to protect your guards. Did you actually resist the order and refuse to obey it?"

"Is this a matter?" Shi Kefa said.

"Hahaha! I'm not stupid!" Liu Zeqing laughed, "If I really listened to the words of the foolish emperor, I'm afraid my head would be no longer on my neck!"

Shi Kefa was furious and slapped the table: "You are a traitor! How dare you do this!"

"Gemaster Shi, calm down, calm down! If the last general does not support King Fu, even the three traitors will not cause any storm! Don't look at the fact that the three of them have many soldiers and generals, who dares to leave the city to stop Wuweibo from going south? The three armies together are no match for Wuweibo!" Huang Degong smiled and advised Shi Kefa to calm down.

Shi Kefa sat down: "Everyone, His Majesty the Emperor has indeed killed many people all the way, but which one he killed was wronged? The emperor killed either by thieves or bravely blocked the saint's journey south! Do these people deserve to die when they judged their crimes? Everyone, please listen to Shi's advice. If you give up supporting King Fu and support Chongzhen, Your Majesty still needs you. After all, you are all people with heavy troops. Your Majesty does not want the bandits to attack. Before Jiannu arrived, the Ming official army will kill each other first?"

Liu Liangzuo sneered: "Old Master Shi Ge thought too simply! Chongzhen's tyrant monarch was bewitched by the eunuch party and the thief, and he would never let us go!"

Huang Degong said: "Although you want to establish the King of Fu, why? Can you defeat Wuwei Bo with your strength?"

"There is Zuo Liangyu!" Liu Zeqing said viciously, "Although we three cannot compete with Wuweibo, if you add Zuo Liangyu, you will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong also stood up and expressed his opinion: "Everyone, Chongzhen's tyrant king and the treacherous Li Laoer, the eunuch king, has already complained about the world and angry! I will also help you!"

"A traitor! As long as I, Shi, are there, you can't do anything wrong!" Shi Kefa said furiously.

Liu Liangzuo suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and a group of personal soldiers suddenly rushed in, pointing swords and guns at Shi Kefa and others.

"Master Shi Ge, I'm sorry!" Liu Liangzuo sneered, "Since you want to force us to death, don't blame us!"

After saying that, Liu Liangzuo shouted: "Take Master Shi, Huang Junmen and General Shi down, remember, treat them well and don't abuse them!"

Shi Kefa, Huang Degong, Liu Zhaoji, Shi Dewei and others were taken down, and only Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and Zhao Zhilong were left in the hall.

"Immediately send a letter to Zuo Liangyu and ask him to send troops to help the war. Be sure to stop Chongzhen from going south." Liu Zeqing said.

"Hezhou, I'm afraid it's too late. The foolish lord has arrived in Huai'an and will soon tell Yangzhou!" Gao Jie said worriedly.
