Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 307 Death is imminent
At this time in the cabinet value room.

Gao Hongtu's face was iron, staring out the window without saying a word.

Jiang Yueguang and Xie Xuelong stared at the tip of their noses like old monks in meditation.

"Master." Gao Hongtu's old servant said inwardly, "It's time to go to court."

"Don't worry, just wait." Gao Hongtu said decisively, "I'll report the time in half an hour."

"Yes." The old servant replied respectfully and exited the door.

Jiang Yueguang finally opened his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Gao Ge, procrastination like this is no solution after all."

"Yeah, why don't we go to court first?" Xie Xuelong said, "I think that even if the court votes, most officials in the court will choose to support us, and Shi Kefa, Lu Zhenfei and the others can't turn the sky upside down."

"No." Gao Hongtu said decisively, "There is no room for mistakes in this matter."

After a pause, Gao Hongtu said again: "Until the news of Bo Chengyi and Wei Guogong reaches us, this matter can only be discussed, otherwise there will be no room for change."

Gao Hongtu's meaning was very simple, if he didn't have the certainty of killing with one blow, he would rather postpone the procedure of supporting the new monarch. After all, the crown prince and king Ding were both far away in Xuzhou, and they would not be able to reach Nanjing in a short time.

Even the Holy Majesty has already been killed, do they still care about letting the prince or Ding Wang fall into the water?

In a word, only Yongwang can finally ascend to the throne, and it is absolutely impossible for the crown prince and Dingwang to ascend the throne. The power of Ming Dynasty can only be held in the hands of their scholar-bureaucrat group.

Jiang Yueguang frowned and said, "But we can't keep everyone waiting, can we?"

"Yes." Xie Xuelong echoed, "Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei have already arrived at the main hall."

"Just let them wait." Gao Hongtu said in a deep voice, "At this time when the family and country are undergoing drastic changes and the world is in turmoil, what's the point of waiting for an hour? Just let them wait!"

Jiang Yueguang and Xie Xuelong could only sit back in their chairs helplessly.

Time passed quietly amidst suffocating waiting.

Finally, there was a rush of footsteps outside the duty room.

Immediately Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun and Liu Zhengzong hurried in, cupped his hands and said: "Master, there are two elders in the pavilion. Sincerity Bo sent someone to report that he has completely controlled the Caojiang Admiral's Office. The new Governor Yingtian and Caojiang Admiral He also sent someone to lure Jin Xuan into the Caojiang Admiral's Office and put him under house arrest."

Jiang Yueguang asked anxiously, "Where are the three thousand cavalry outside the city?"

"The soldiers have been standing still." Liu Zhengzong said, "It seems that the rumors should be true. Unless the Holy One comes personally, the three thousand cavalry can only be mobilized by Jin Xuan holding the king's order."

"Okay!" Gao Hongtu said, "It's already half done!"

The [-] iron cavalry could not be mobilized, and the [-] pacesetters in the Caojiang Admiral's Office were controlled by Liu Kongzhao. It was indeed half the battle.

Jiang Yueguang said: "Now we are waiting for the news from Duke Wei. As long as Duke Wei agrees, we can mobilize the Beijing camp to control Nangong at any time. At that time, no one will dare to oppose the establishment of King Yong."

Force coercion, although this method is old-fashioned, it is really easy to use.

However, half an hour later, when the old servant came in to report the time again, he still hadn't waited for Wei Guogong Xu Hongji's reply.

Jiang Yueguang said worriedly: "Mr. Gao Ge, Mr. Wei Guogong will not get together with Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei, right? If this is the case, the situation will be difficult."

Gao Hongtu frowned when he heard the words.

Jiang Yueguang said that riding a tiger is hard to get off is putting money on their faces.

If Wei Guogong fell to Shi Kefa's side, the situation would immediately become Wei Guogong's [-] Beijing battalion soldiers vs. Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao's [-] Jiang pacesetters.

The key four thousand Caojiang pacesetters are not very safe.

Because now Kim Hyun is the serious admiral of Cao Jiang.

Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, the admiral of Cao Jiang, is in the past.

At this moment, Youchunfang Youzhongyun and Li Jinglian finally entered Zhifang.

"Teacher." Li Jinglian said panting, "Duke Wei has already gone to court."

"What?" Gao Hongtu, Jiang Riguang, and Xie Xuelong's faces instantly collapsed. That is to say, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji rejected their overtures and decided to support Shi Kefa's side?
After taking a breath, Li Jinglian said again: "But Wei Guogong asked me to tell my mentor that Jingying listens to the cabinet. As long as the cabinet can reach a consensus, Jingying will firmly support it."

Hearing this, the faces of Gao Hongtu and the others suddenly turned cloudy.

Gao Hongtu couldn't help scolding: "Yizhou, can you finish the sentence in one breath?"

"That's right." Liu Zhengzong also said angrily, "You are so out of breath, you almost suffocated us."

However, Gao Hongtu picked up the beam crown with a hard head on the table and put it on his head solemnly, and then said to Jiang Riguang, Xie Xuelong, Li Jinglian and others: "Go, go to court!"

……

The Caojiang Admiral's Office in Nanjing is on the riverside outside Dinghuai Gate.

The Caojiang Admiral's Office is in charge of the entire Yangtze River defense. From Anqing and Chizhou to the downstream Songjiang Mansion, nearly a thousand miles of the Yangtze River are under the jurisdiction of the Caojiang Admiral's Office, but there are only [-] soldiers.

In addition to the [-] soldiers, there are nearly [-] bird boats.

It is definitely incomparable with the Zheng family's navy, but it is also a navy that cannot be ignored.

Sincerity uncle Liu Kongzhao has served as the admiral of Caojiang for many years, and the lieutenants, guerrillas, and garrison of the entire admiral's office, even the general and the post chief are all his confidantes.

If he didn't have the confidence, Liu Kongzhao from another time and space would not have the courage to rush to make the first contribution.

Liu Kongzhao in this time and space also wanted to support Zhu Yousong, but he was strangled by Chongzhen before he could act, and at one point he was so scared that he didn't dare to leave the house, lest Chongzhen would find him to settle accounts.

But now, Liu Kongzhao has recovered his former prestige.

The Holy Majesty has passed away, and no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can restrain him!
"Come on, bring Jin Xuan up to me." Liu Kongzhao said loudly.

When even two pacesetters led the way, Jin Xuan was soon escorted into the prison.

Seeing Jin Xuan standing proudly, Liu Kongzhao felt very unhappy, and scolded: "Jin Xuan, why didn't you kneel when you saw Ben Du? Believe it or not, Ben Du chopped off your head?"

Jin Xuan let out a groan, and scolded with disdain on his face: "You deserve it!"

Although it was only four short words, it aroused Liu Kongzhao's anger immediately.

It's really too arrogant, the sage is dead, what are you doing to Jiuqing when you go to disaster?

Without waiting for Liu Kongzhao to speak, Jin Xuan said again: "Liu Kongzhao, I would like to advise you that you can still save your family by reining in the precipice at this time. If you continue to persist in your obsession, you may be in danger of disaster!"

"Jin Xuan!" Liu Kongzhao said angrily, "You are really a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, you are already dying, yet you still dare to speak boldly and threaten the governor."

Jin Xuan sighed: "It's really pitiful, the person who is about to die is actually you."

Speaking of this meal, Jin Xuan said again: "Liu Kongzhao, Liu Kongzhao, do you really think that this official will be so stupid that he can't see that Wang Zhiren was instructed by you? Do you really think that this official will be so stupid that he will throw himself into the trap? "

"Jin Xuan, don't scare me, I didn't grow up being frightened."

Liu Kongzhao snorted coldly and said again: "Even you have become a prisoner of the governor. As for the three thousand cavalry under your command, I am afraid that no one can move them? Hahaha."

"It's so pitiful." Jin Xuan shook his head.

"The three thousand iron cavalry may have already killed them."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Kongzhao was angry and startled.

Because he vaguely felt that Jin Xuan seemed to be serious rather than a threat.

At this moment, Liu Kongzhao suddenly heard a faint rumble, which sounded like thunder.

Jin Xuan shook his head and said, "Liu Kongzhao, you're done, now you don't even have a chance to regret it."

Seeing Jin Xuan talking to him in a serious manner, Liu Kongzhao suddenly paused in his heart, isn't it true? Could it be that the imperial party has transferred other people from Xuzhou?

But the problem is, the sage is already dead.

Shouldn't the imperial party fall apart in an instant?
While thinking about it, Wang Zhiren, a Taiping guerrilla, hurried to the gate.

"Liu Junmen, it's not good!" Wang Zhiren said with an expression of seeing a ghost, "The sage has arrived!"

"What are you panicking about?" Liu Kongzhao said coldly before he could hear clearly what Wang Zhiren was saying, "As long as the governor is here, the sky will not fall. By the way, who did you say was here?"

"Holy Saint, Holy Saint." Wang Zhiren was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Kongzhao heard clearly now, and immediately almost fell to the ground in shock, "Wang Zhiren, what nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty has already..."

"I'm already dead, right?" A cold voice sounded.

Immediately, a general wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and mountain armor strode in.

After seeing the general's appearance clearly, Liu Kongzhao knelt down on the ground with a puff.

"My lord, my minister, my minister..." Liu Kongzhao kowtowed to Chongzhen again and again, without the slightest thought of resistance in his heart.

In fact, Liu Kongzhao had no chance to resist, because no matter how high his prestige was in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Caojiang Admiral's Office, it was absolutely impossible to surpass the emperor.

What's more, Liu Kongzhao's prestige in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Caojiang Admiral's Office is not high.

In a word, Liu Kongzhao also did such things as eating empty wages and drinking blood from soldiers.

Therefore, except for the lieutenants, guerrillas, generals, and post chiefs who were promoted by Liu Kongzhao, the other [-] officers and soldiers would not listen to him at all.

Even those lieutenant generals, guerrillas, commanders, and post chiefs were unlikely to rebel with him.

So as soon as Chongzhen appeared, the officers and soldiers under the Admiral Caojiang's office immediately knelt down without a trace of resistance.

Of course, what needs to be explained is that it is useless even to resist. Eight hundred barbarians, more than a thousand fully armed King Qin's sons, and three thousand cavalry under Jin Xuan's command are outside the admiral's office.

Others can't move the three thousand cavalry, but of course Chongzhen can.

It was also at this time that Liu Kongzhao suddenly realized that this was a trap.

Liu Kongzhao suddenly felt it was ridiculous that even Gao Hongtu and Jiang Riguang, who were so modest, dared to try to wrestle with the Holy Spirit, and what was even more ridiculous was that he actually believed their deceit.
