King Lu was tied up and stuffed into a four-wheeled carriage.

Li Guodong personally took three thousand heavy cavalry and escorted the four-wheeled carriage back to Beijing. After walking a short distance, he found that the team of scholars who had walked a day earlier than them were still walking slowly towards the direction of the capital.

The Huai Army cavalry ignored these scholars who were powerless and just rode their horses forward. When Li Guodong surpassed the scholars, he looked back with pity and sympathy in his eyes: "A group of poor people, I don't know how pitiful he is!"

King Lu was taken to the capital, but was not sent to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei. After all, he was the prince and the empress dowager and the clan mansion were qualified to deal with it. Li Guodong had no right to sentence King Lu, and King Yiwei had no right to deal with King Lu directly. Therefore, after King Lu was taken back to the capital, it was too late and could not enter the palace again, so he was temporarily sent to the Duke's mansion and recruited a group of personal soldiers to take him into custody.

"The prince, if you offend me, the officials will also act on orders. Tomorrow morning, the officials will naturally hand you over to the Queen Mother. "Li Guodong bowed to King Lu, and treated it as a tribute.

Li Guodong would not talk much about Lu Wang Zhu Changqing, a greedy and pitiful guy who was afraid of life and fearful of death. In the original time and space, Lu Wang took the initiative to open the Hangzhou gate and surrendered to the Qing army. In the end, the Qing court found an excuse and was killed by the Qing court with Zhu Yousong and others.

However, Li Guodong did not recommend that the Empress Dowager issue an order to kill Zhu Changqing, but planned to send him to the distant Oceania, where there was a large area of ​​vast land and someone needed to occupy it. So let King Lu live and send them to the continent in the middle of the ocean, so that they could colonize and develop there.

In this battle, King Lu captured, Fang Guoan and more than 15,000 people under his command. These people will be packaged and sent to Oceania, and then they will get some women from Annan, Siam, Myanmar and other places to arrange them.

The next morning, Li Guodong first entered the palace to find Empress Dowager Zhang Yan. After persuaded the Empress Dowager, the Jinyiwei would escort King Lu into the palace and wait for the empress dowager to leave.

"Qi reported to the Empress Dowager, the Duke of Chu went to the palace to see you, and he was talking about how to deal with the rebellion of King Lu. "Wang Cheng'en reported to Zhang Yan.

"Let him come in." Zhang Yan said. According to her original idea, she was to give Lu Wang a glass of poisoned wine. But since Li Guodong was coming to discuss, I might as well hear what the Duke of Chu had better opinions.

Li Guodong walked into Kunning Palace: "The empress dowager is bowing to the empress dowager."

Zhang Yan smiled charmingly: "Get up quickly, why are you doing such a great gift to me? By the way, King Lu is arrested?"

"When I returned to the Empress Dowager, the empress dowager fulfilled my mission and had already captured the criminals. However, King Lu was a royal family after all, and the ministers had no right to deal with it without authorization. I also asked the Empress Dowager and the clan's mansion to submit it."

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "What else can I do? Just give him a glass of poisonous wine. Do you want to cut King Lu alive by cutting him with one knife?"

"Empress, I think the opposite, I only hope to save King Lu's life."

Zhang Yan's face changed: "Leave him a life? Can a person who plots against him still save him a life? Such a person is wasting food! Duke Chu, you are talking about the principle of keeping him a life."

Li Guodong said: "Empress Dowager, can someone come over with paper and pen? I will draw a map for the empress?"

"Come and get the four treasures of the study!" Zhang Yan shouted.

After taking the four treasures of the study, a young eunuch was responsible for grinding ink, and two palace maids arranged the table and spread the paper on the table.

Li Guodong picked up the pen and began to paint slowly on the paper. Zhang Yan curiously leaned over her head and watched Li Guodong draw a map on the paper. She was fascinated by the sight. A black hair brushed across Li Guodong's cheek, making him feel itchy.

Perhaps because he realized his incompetence, Zhang Yan shouted: "Let's retreat, and the old man and the Duke of Chu have something to say."

After Li Guodong drew the map, he first wrote down the four words "The World's Full Map", and then marked the location of the Ming Dynasty on it. The world map he drew was drawn according to the world map of his previous life in his memory, which was much more detailed than the world map drawn by Westerners back then. The huge Ming Dynasty only occupied a very small corner on the world map.

"Is this our Ming Dynasty? That's so big?" Zhang Yan was stunned.

"Yes, this is our Ming Dynasty. Compared with the whole world, the Ming Dynasty is too small. "As he said, Li Guodong's fingers were in the northwest corner of the map," Here are the countries of Taixi, the big and small Franchise, Hongmaoyi and other countries are all in this position; going a little east, it was originally the Great Food Empire, but it has been destroyed by the Mongols, and now it is the Lumi Kingdom..."

Zhang Yan listened to Li Guodong's description with interest. Finally, she found that Li Guodong had not introduced many locations on the map, so she pointed to the two continents of North and South America on the map and asked, "Where are these places?"

"Bornless lands are all barely lands, but at present, the people of all countries in Thailand are going there to seize territory. Our Ming Dynasty also needs to send people to seize territory as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!" Li Guodong replied.

"Okay, since you say that, then you can spare King Lu's life." Zhang Yan finally nodded. While she was talking, she leaned on Li Guodong intentionally or unintentionally.

"Empress Dowager, King Lu is brought here." Wang Chengen came in to report.

"Let him come in!" Zhang Yan felt a little annoyed. As long as she gave her some more time, she could take down the man around her. For Zhang Yan, although she respected the queen mother, she actually had nothing, no real power, no husband, and no children. Now she is not even her favorite brother-in-law. It can be said that she is helpless and lonely woman. With her intelligence, it can be seen that Li Guodong has a very good impression of her. Taking down this man is also his own backer.

When King Lu was taken into the hall, Zhang Yan deliberately looked down on his face: "King King Lu, you rebel and plot against him. Originally, Ling Chi was executed and the nine clans were killed! But because you are the cousin of the late emperor and the Emperor Daxing, I will spare you a complete body! Is it poisonous wine or white silk? You can choose for yourself!"

"Grandmaster Husband! Grant madam Husband! Grant madam Husband!" King Lu knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "I know I am wrong, give me a chance, I will never dare to do it again."

Zhang Yan turned her head and ignored King Lu.

Li Guodong cooperated with Zhang Yan to act, and he knelt on the ground and begged: "Empress Dowager, after all, King Lu is a royal family, and he was bewitched and made a mistake. I hope the Empress Dowager will let him go and let him be exiled thousands of miles away."

Zhang Yan turned his head and pointed at King Lu and said, "Zhu Changqing! Today is the Duke of Chu who pleads for you! The Ai family will let you live! But death sentences can be avoided, and living sentences cannot be escaped! The Ai family will listen to Duke of Chu and send you to a wild land thousands of miles away, so that you can conquer the world for the Ming Dynasty and atone for the sake of the cause!"

When he heard that he could survive, King Lu kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you Empress Dowager, thank you Duke Chu!"

"Hold King Lu down and temporarily detained in the clan mansion, waiting for the fleet to go out to sea, and send him thousands of miles away!" Zhang Yan said.

After the Lu King was taken down, Li Guodong also said goodbye to Zhang Yan: "Empress Dowager, I have something to do, so I will say goodbye first."

Zhang Yan felt a little disappointed, but she was not willing to force herself to stay, so she said: "Duke Chu walked slowly, come and sent Duke Chu out of the palace!"

Three days later, more than 10,000 scholars who came to Nanjing to write a letter arrived in Nanjing. More than 10,000 people gathered in the square in front of the Forbidden City and launched a huge petition for the people, claiming that the empress dowager's reign was not in line with the ancestral system, and demanded that Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Dowager Zhou immediately give up the reign of the country and support a royal family to ascend the throne to the emperor.

Next, some horrifying rumors were circulating in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City, such as the rumors about the demon queen Zhang Yan colluding with the treacherous minister Duke of Chu, and the demon queen had a leg with Duke of Chu, which were said to have noses and eyes, and the ones that were spread from time to time, and finally, they almost turned into the Ming Dynasty palace version of Jin Ping Mei.
