Before Li Chengdong took away Mrs. Xing and Gao Jiejun's family, he released Shi Kefa and Huang Degong and told them that Chongzhen was about to arrive in Yangzhou. Shi Kefa and Huang Degong naturally did not dare to neglect them, and immediately organized people to prepare to welcome the arrival of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Huang Degong was also one of the four towns in Jiangbei that supported King Fu, he was confused with Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and others who supported King Fu together without knowing that Chongzhen was still alive. Now he knew that Chongzhen was still alive, Huang Degong, who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, had long given up supporting King Fu again, but stood with Shi Kefa and supported Chongzhen, and was taken down by Liu Liangzuo and the others.

"Master Shi Ge, there are not many ministers in Nanjing." Huang Degong looked at the grand welcome team on the shore, and there were not many officials, and even a few nobles. He just felt that this time he had lost the face of the emperor.

Shi Kefa sneered: "Those traitors are all in Nanjing preparing to support King Fu ascend the throne. What are they doing here?"

There were very few officials and nobles who came to welcome Chongzhen. In addition to Shi Kefa and Huang Degong, the Minister of War Zhang Guowei and the Minister of Personnel Zhang Shenyan came to Nanjing. However, what Shi Kefa unexpectedly was that the leader of Donglin Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, also came.

"Don't Muzhai Gong be afraid of the eunuch party and changed his words to support King Fu? Why did he come too?" Shi Kefa muttered.

Huang Degong laughed boldly, and the steel beards on his black face trembled one by one: "It's normal. Since Muzhai Gong can betray the Donglin Party and support King Fu, now that the real emperor is coming, he will definitely change his mind when he sees the wind and turns back to support the real emperor. After all, isn't he still greedy for life and fears death and is reluctant to abandon his glory and wealth?"

Shi Kefa's face turned red when he heard it. Although he also thought Huang Degong's words were reasonable, Qian Qianyi was the leader of the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party is famous for being upright and unruly, but he produced such an old person with no moral integrity. Moreover, this old person is actually the leader of the Donglin Party. Isn't that the slap the Donglin Party in the face by eating fruit?

Huang Degong was embarrassed to see Shi Kefa, so he did not care about this topic anymore. Instead, he pointed to a group of Donglin Party gentry greeted by the shore and said, "Grandmaster Shi, the officials of the Donglin Party are still upright. Most of the people who came to welcome the priest today are not the Donglin Party? The eunuch party and the nobles, but none of them came."

"Hmph! Those rebel ministers! I'm afraid they can't wait to make King Fu ascend the throne!" Shi Kefa snorted coldly.

It was really said by Shi Kefa. Just today, in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, a group of officials and nobles are performing a ugly drama of supporting King Fu ascending the throne.

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, was standing beside the dragon throne in the middle. At present, he was still the king throne. When Fu went to court, he sat on the king throne and was not qualified to sit on the gold-painted dragon throne. Before the morning court today, the eunuchs in the palace replaced the king chaise and brought the dragon throne. Although Zhu Yousong was stupid, he also understood what would happen today. Although he knew that a group of loyal and loyal ministers and generals in the court would support him ascend the throne, he was not the emperor yet, so he did not dare to sit on the dragon chaise, but stood aside.

First, the Honglu Temple was singing the title. Lu Jiude was very annoyed that the two major officials of the Ministry of War Zhang Guowei and the Ministry of Personnel Zhang Shenyan were not here, but he still held back this tone. Anyway, the Nanjing nobles basically supported him and Ma Shiying. Chongzhen was going to come to Nanjing? See if he had the ability to conquer Nanjing City! As long as Chongzhen could not conquer Nanjing, the 800,000 troops of Zuo Liangyu from the upper reaches would be not enough for Wuwei Bo Li Laoer.

The three towns in Jiangbei were defeated. This news shocked Ma Shiying, but only because the three towns in Jiangbei were defeated at all. Li Laoer was too strong, so he was the elite who dared to fight head-on with Jiannu.

But even if it is elite, can it still stop Zuo Liangyu's 800,000 army while dividing troops to attack Nanjing? Whether it is Ma Shiying, Lu Jiude, or a group of honors in Nanjing, they all think that Li Laoer does not have such ability.

"It's a pity that Liu Liangzuo and the others acted too impatiently, which led to a crushing defeat in the three towns. If they were still there, the chance of winning would be a little more." Liu Kongzhao sighed.

Zhao Zhilong said: "Even if Liu Liangzuo doesn't take action, Li thief has already begun to attack the three towns. If Liu Liangzuo doesn't take action, I'm afraid that after Liu Zeqing is destroyed, Li thief will turn around and deal with him. Alas, after all, the strength of the three towns is not good. Brother Liu, it's okay. With the 800,000 army of the general to suppress the thief, our army should defend the city for a few days first and exhaust the morale of Li thief. When the general to suppress the thief arrives, Li thief will definitely be defeated."

While the two were whispering, Lu Jiude, who was standing in the hall, spoke loudly: "Dear colleagues, Chongzhen's tyrant monarch was cruel and violent, suspicious by nature, slaughtered ministers and killed loyal and kind; the tyrant monarch was greedy by nature, abused the people, and repeatedly increased taxes, which made the heaven angry and people resented the people and lived in vain. Countless people rose up. Now the tyrant monarch has abandoned the capital and killed the people along the way. Such a tyrant monarch can still be the emperor of our Ming Dynasty? Now, the Ming Dynasty has reached a storm and is in a state of turmoil. It is necessary for a benevolent monarch to correct the situation. How can the tyrant continue to ruin the Ming Dynasty's territory?"

Ma Shiying stepped forward and pretended to be solemn, and asked, "His Royal Highness Fu, if you ascend the throne, will you trust the cabinet and the soldiers on the front line?"

King Fu was so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud, but he still tried hard to restrain the joy in his heart and replied seriously: "Of course! King Gu is not as suspicious as Chongzhen. If he ascended the throne and became emperor, he would definitely trust all his dear friends. I believe that everyone will work together to protect the country of Ming Dynasty!"

Ma Shiying quickly knelt down: "King Fu is truly a benevolent king. My minister Ma Shiying respectfully invites His Highness to ascend to the throne and inherit the orthodox of our Ming Dynasty!"

"I, Lu Jiude, respectfully invites His Highness, King Fu to ascend the throne and inherit the throne." Lu Jiude also knelt down.

The former eunuch of Nanjing garrison, Han Zanzhou, also knelt down: "I am Han Zanzhou, who invites His Highness, King Fu to ascend the throne and inherit the throne!"

"My minister Zhao Zhilong respectfully invites His Highness to ascend the throne and inherit the throne!"

"My minister Liu Kongzhao respectfully invites His Highness to ascend the throne and inherit the throne!"

With Lu Jiude, Ma Shiying, the nobles Zhao Zhilong, Liu Kongzhao and others knelt down, and all the civil and military officials and nobles in the court also knelt down, begging King Fu to ascend the throne to the emperor.

King Fu suppressed the joy in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and sat on the dragon throne: "My dear friends, please be flat!"

Next, after discussion among the ministers, the reign of the reign of Hongguang, and King Zhu Yousong officially became Emperor Hongguang.

King Fu then issued an order, granting Ma Shiying the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace and the Minister of War, and the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet; and granting the Zhanshi Mansion, Jiang Yueguang, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, to the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and former Grand Secretary Wang Duo to join the cabinet to assist in the government.

The former eunuch of Nanjing, Han Zanzhou, was named the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, and became the leader of the eunuch in the inner palace. The former eunuch in Fengyang, Lu Jiude, was named the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor.

Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao were both named Dukes for their support. Zhao Zhilong was the garrison of Duke Xin in Nanjing, and Liu Kongzhao was the governor of Caojiang as Duke Guardian...

The chaotic farce of ascension into the throne was also performed. The pseudo-Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong asked all his dear ministers to work together to resist the Li thief and prevent the Chongzhen tyrant who was no longer qualified to be emperor from entering Nanjing.

Ma Shiying said: "There are not many soldiers and horses around the tyrant monarch, only 50,000 troops from the pseudo-Wuwei Bo Li Laoer. Although the Li thief's Huai army has very strong field combat capabilities, we only need to stick to it. With the more than 100,000 troops in Nanjing, it is no problem to defend Nanjing. Dear colleagues can still recruit people and help defend the city, support Your Majesty, and resolutely stop the tyrant monarch from seizing the throne! Just wait for the general Zuo Liangyu to advance eastward, Li thief will definitely be defeated!"
