Chapter 370 Who is the mourning of the iniquitous son! [2 more]
When you walk into the palace, you will see a group of noble people in gorgeous clothes but extremely embarrassed appearance. Needless to say, these people are either the concubines of King Ning or the relatives of King Ning. Unfortunately, they all look scared at this moment, and there is no trace of elegance and luxury.
Wang Shouren looked at these people lightly and said, "Come here, take these people down, take them under strict supervision, and take them to the capital on a date to wait for the court to make a decision."
Wang Wu, who looked excited, walked into the hall behind Wang Shouren and couldn't help but say, "Sir, Prince Ning must not be able to escape, why not send someone to capture..."
Wang Shouren said calmly: "Just one prince of Ning, he will run away if he escapes, but he will escape. He can just bring the news of the fall of Nanchang City to Ning. I want to see what the expression of Ning King would look like when he heard that Nanchang City was falling."
Wang Wu said a little angrily on his face when he heard this: "I really don't know how the men in Nanjing City defended the city. The huge Nanjing City was actually taken down by King Ning so quickly. If they could hold on for a few more days, King Ning would not be able to capture Nanjing City and lose Nanchang City. There was no way to advance or retreat, and it would be not far from defeat!"
Hearing Wang Wu say this, Wang Shouren couldn't help but look at Wang Wu in surprise and said, "Wang Wu, you have made great progress!"
Wang Wu couldn't help but grab his head when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Sir, these words are not what I thought of, but what a military officer in the army said! This military officer had said before that sir would definitely be able to break through Nanchang City, but it was a pity that he was one step too late!"
Wang Shouren narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, let's talk about it, what is this person's origin? He actually has such an opinion."
Wang Wu grinned and said, "That man seems to be named Yan Song. I heard that he is an old friend of his adults!"
Wang Shouren couldn't help but be stunned, Yan Song.
He is not unfamiliar with Yan Song, but if he really wants to say familiar things, it is not considered a matter of it. At most, it is just a simple relationship between colleagues.
He and Yan Song met the current chief manager Chu Yi in the Emperor Shicai. Later, Yan Song retired and returned to his hometown to mourn his father because of his death. Since then, Wang Shouren has never seen Yan Song again.
Now that Wang Shouren suddenly heard of Yan Song's name, he was really surprised. After pondering for a while, Wang Shouren said to Wang Wu: "Go and invite Yan Song to see me!"
Soon Wang Wu brought Yan Song to the scene. When he entered the living room, Yan Song's eyes fell on Wang Shouren, and Wang Shouren also looked at Yan Song.
Yan Song looked up at him with a hint of joy on his face and said, "Sir Yan Song has met the Lord!"
Wang Shouren smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but Lord Yan is still in style!"
Yan Song smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, don't make fun of Yan. Compared to the fact that he has made great progress, Yan returned from mourning and entrusting his connections, he just got a position to join the army. This time, he asked his blessing to break through the Nanchang City. After returning to Beijing, it would be a blessing to be able to be promoted to the next level!"
Wang Shouren greeted Yan Song and sat down and said, "Mr. Yan is too humble. With Master Yan's talent and knowledge, as long as he has a platform to display, he can shine sooner or later."
Yan Song sighed softly: "Looking back then, you and I first met General Manager Chu in the Emperor's Secretariat. I'm afraid I would never have dreamed. Many years later, the three of us and us had their own luck!"
When Yan Song mentioned that back then, Wang Shouren couldn't help but feel emotion. Who could have thought that a great magistrate in the imperial history would become a person below one person and above ten thousand people in a short period of time?
When it comes to that year, the atmosphere between the two seems much closer.
Wang Shouren looked at Yan Song and said, "Yan Ganjun, in your opinion, if Wang conquers Nanchang City this time, will he send troops to Nanjing next?"
Yan Song narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Shouren and said, "That depends on when General Chu will arrive in Nanjing City. In the opinion of the lower level, it is the best choice to go to the next level when General Chu is approaching Nanjing City."
He glanced at Yan Song indifferently, and Wang Shouren smiled slightly.
In the city of Nanjing.
Ning Wanggang, who had just ascended the throne, presided over the first court meeting. Most of the officials left, only Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and others stayed.
An eunuch hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, Nanchang City is urgently reporting!"
As the eunuch said that, the eunuch presented a quick message. King Ning opened his eyes and suddenly his expression changed. He suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the eldest brother? Call him to see me quickly!"
Liu Yangzheng and others couldn't help but show doubts. The eldest brother was the title of Prince Ning, but didn't the eldest brother stay in Nanchang City? Why...
Just as he was confused, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the palace. Then he heard the man wailing, "Father, Father, I think I will never see you again..."
As soon as Prince Ning entered the hall, he ran in wailingly, and knelt there with a thud, looking extremely sad.
King Ning looked at the elder brother's appearance and felt more and more angry. He shook his sleeves and shouted angrily: "I am not dead yet, who will you give me this rebellious son to?"
Suddenly, Prince Ning was so scared that he suddenly held it back and did not dare to cry again.
Prince Ning looked up at King Ning timidly. When he saw something incredible, he exclaimed in surprise: "Father, have you... you ascended the throne and become emperor?"
King Ning just ascended the throne yesterday, and the news has not yet been transmitted back to Nanchang City. Prince Ning was in a daze after entering Nanjing City. Even if something was wrong in some places, he did not realize that King Ning ascended the throne.
It was not until the moment when the King Ning shouted that he was shocked and returned to his position that he noticed the dragon robe on King Ning and realized the fact that King Ning ascended the throne.
King Ning glared at Prince Ning and said, "You rebellious son, tell me what's going on? Why did Nanchang City suddenly fall!"
When Prince Ning appeared in the hall, Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, Yang Tinghe and others changed their expressions and felt a little bad in their hearts.
Now that they heard the fall of Nanchang City by Wang Ning, the thing they were most worried about actually happened, and their faces suddenly became very ugly.
Prince Ning cried and said, "It's all because of King Yichun. If he hadn't been too careless, how could he be shot and killed by Wang Shouren on the spot and the army defending the city were disintegrated, and Wang Shouren took the opportunity to break through Nanchang City."
On the way to escape from Nanjing, Prince Ning and Wan Rui had already agreed that the fall of Nanchang City was so big that they could not bear it. They had to find someone to take it. After thinking about it, only Zhu Gongtu, the King of Yichun who had already died in battle, was the most suitable one.
The dead will not argue, so they can throw the blame to the King of Yichun to take.
When Ning Wang heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Wanrui!"
Soon, Wan Rui walked into the hall. When Wan Rui saw King Ning, he immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I kowtow to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
As the most trustworthy eunuch of King Ning, Wan Rui had a very strong influence on King Ning.
Originally, he was full of anger and wanted to vent, but when he saw Wan Rui's dusty and even embarrassed look, King Ning couldn't help but feel a little pity.
The original heavy words came to his mouth and sighed softly: "Tell me, why did Nanchang City fall?"
Wan Rui took a deep breath and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the old slave was ordered to assist His Highness King Yichun to guard Nanchang City. It was only because of Wang Shouren's scheming. He first slaughtered General Zheng Qi's troops who came to help, and then drove the prisoners to attack the city. The last arrow shot His Highness King Yichun, causing great chaos in the army, which led to the fall of Nanchang City."
As he said that, Wan Rui cried and said, "It's all because of the incompetence of the old slave, but he was so entrusted by His Majesty that he lost Nanchang City. Please punish him!"
Looking at Wan Rui who was crying and looking at the pitiful prince, King Ning had no way to vent his anger. He couldn't help but sweep across the table and sweep the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table all over the floor, and roared: "Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren, I will kill you!"
Since his rebellion, there have been many help from gentry and powerful people. It can be said that everything has been smooth sailing, but only Wang Shouren, all the bad news he received is related to Wang Shouren.
First it was Zhou Boling, then Zheng Qi. Now even the King of Yichun is dead at the hands of Wang Shouren. The most important thing is that the Nanchang City, which he had been running for many years, was taken away by Wang Shouren.
Thinking of the food, grass, money and money he had hoarded in Nanchang City, as well as the relatives of civil and military officials in the army, King Ning just wanted to fly to Nanchang City and take back Nanchang City.
Once the news of the fall of Nanchang City is spread, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the morale of the army.
Ning Wang took a deep breath and looked at Li Shishi and others.
As expected, Li Shishi and others looked very ugly, and their faces turned pale, which shows how great the impact the fall of Nanchang City had on everyone.
With a light cough, King Ning said to the crowd: "You have heard that Nanchang City has fallen, why do you teach me!"
Li Shishi and others looked at each other and saw General Li Zhen step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Nanchang City is the foundation of our army, and there is no need to make any mistakes. Nanchang City must be recaptured."
King Ning understood that General Li Zhen said not only to regain Nanchang City, but more importantly to regain the families of a group of civil and military officials in Nanchang City.
He nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Yang Tinghe and said, "Does the Prime Minister have anything to say?"
Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and looked at King Ning and said, "Your Majesty, Nanchang City has been lost. Even if your Majesty sends a large army to recapture Nanchang City, it will be useless. If you are Wang Shouren, facing the army sent by Your Majesty, even if you directly abandon Nanchang City, you will definitely take away the food and fodder in the city and the families of all officials."
