On February 6, the 15th year of Chongzhen, Kaifeng surrendered!

Zhu Gongye, the Duan King of Zhou Duan of the Ming Dynasty, committed suicide in Yin'an Hall, and nineteen inner relatives also committed suicide at the same time.

The Zhou king rebelled four times in total and was exiled to Yunnan twice. He was an unfilial son of the Ming Dynasty. He rebelled repeatedly and restored his title again and again.

The King of Zhou defeated Li Hongji three times in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhang Bingzhong once, and defeated Yun Zhao's conspiracy to encroach Kaifeng twice.

This unfilial son of the Ming Dynasty used his life to give a reasonable explanation to the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone like Zhu Gongye will always have a few people around him who can use it. Therefore, these people who can use it protect Zhu Gongye's four sons and three daughters rushed out of Kaifeng City to the death, escaped the numerous pursuers, and finally fled into Mianchi.

This matter was done by Zhu Gongye’s two hundred personal guards.

When they arrived in Mianchi, only seventeen were left of two hundred guards, Zhu Gongye's four sons were injured, and two young daughters fell ill in the wandering direction.

However, they rushed out and came to join Zhu Cunji, the Dahonglu, Lantian County.

Zhu Gongye left a last word when he died - I hope that I will not join the imperial family again in the next life!

Judging from the news from the Secret Spies Department, Kaifeng City should be able to hold on for two months. However, every day, thousands more people will die in Kaifeng City. Zhu Gongye couldn't bear it. He chose to end his life to end the pain of the people in Kaifeng City.

The powerful general Chen Yongfu and Governor Ding Qirui broke out of Kaifeng City and fled all the way, preparing to meet with Shandong Liu Zeqing to Juye, but in Heze, he was ambushed by Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin, the generals under Li Hongji, Ding Qirui and Chen Yongfu died in battle, and the subordinates fled without a trace.

Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan who was idle at home, committed suicide. More than 27 officials committed suicide together.

After reading the secret report sent by the Secret Spies Department, Yun Zhao handed it to Liu Cheng and said, "Publish it and write down the causes and consequences clearly."

Liu Cheng hesitated and said, "Writing like this will be detrimental to me, Lantian."

Yun Zhao said: "This is the only backbone left in the Ming Dynasty. Don't waste it. Tell the old officials in Chang'an that they can write elegiac couplets, write notes, and make biography. These things you have chosen and published in newspapers.

In addition, you can figure out a pair of elegiac couplets and publish them in my name!”

"yes!"

Liu Cheng agreed quickly, but his feet did not move.

"Go, you will have something like backbone in anyone. No matter who you grow on, and if you show it, you must promote it. I, Lantian, will not be disintegrating because of sympathy with Zhu Gongye."

Liu Cheng bent down and hurried away.

The atmosphere in the large study was a bit quiet and suffocating.

Zhu Cunji, the Great Honglu of Lantian County, knelt on the ground, straightening his body. His forehead was covered with blood, and the bluestone slabs under Yun Zhao's feet were also covered with blood.

He had already bowed to Yun Zhao for a full incense stick here.

"You didn't give up your dignity when you begged for your whole family. Today, for your relatives, you don't have dignity?"

Yun Zhao did not let Zhu Cunji stand up, his voice was extremely cold.

"If there is anything wrong with these six children, please behead my whole family!"

Zhu Cunji started to bow again as he spoke, and the "bang" sounded as he touched his head on the bluestone slab.

"You are cowardly, a little cunning, and even a little selfish. Why do you bet on all your wealth and life this time?"

"Zhu Gongyi wrote a blood letter before he died, asking me to protect his bloodline, not seek wealth, only for food and clothing. Our bloodlines are connected, and Zhu Cunji really cannot abandon it.

County Master, Zhu Cunji swore here that these six children hate the current emperor more than anyone else. I, Lantian, rescued Kaifeng twice. They know this and are grateful.

Gong Xiao’s eldest son Xiang and the second son Lu are already adults. They are willing to join the army and charge for me, Lantian, and will never regret it if they die!"

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "They are not allowed to be officials or join the army. Let's go to study. A new world is about to begin. I hope they can forget the hatred in their hearts and live a good life. Perhaps this is also their father's expectation."

Zhu Cunji breathed a long sigh of relief, kowtowed to Yun Zhao three times, and slowly said, "I once asked Zhu Gongzi's eldest son why he didn't go to the capital, and the county magistrate would not stop him.

Zhu Xiang told me: His father told him that a person’s good luck in his life is limited. If he can escape a major disaster once, he may not be able to escape twice. He only hopes that his child will have an experience of escaping once."

After hearing Zhu Cunji's words, Yun Zhao sighed and signaled that Zhu Cunji could leave.

After Zhu Cunji left, Yun Zhao said to Han Lingshan sitting in the corner: "The Ming Dynasty is not short of smart people."

Han Lingshan snorted coldly and said, "They are so smart."

Yun Zhao lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Is our policy of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs too ruthless?"

Han Lingshan said: "It's better than killing people by ourselves!"

"Some people say that we will cause great wealth losses when we do this."

Han Lingshan smiled and said, "The greatest wealth in the world is land. No matter how much wealth Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and others have robbed, these things will eventually fall into our hands as long as they use them.

And the wealth of the earth, whether it is fire or lightning, exists, and the dead will only make the earth more fertile."

After listening to Han Lingshan's words, Yun Zhao suddenly remembered a movie I watched a long time ago. The villain in that movie killed half of the population on earth just to make the other half live a better life... This seems to be similar to Lantian's current policies.

I'm the bald villain who is green in skin and plays with a big machete of a fan blade?

And Han Lingshan, Duan Guoren, Zhang Guozhu, and Xu Wu think they are their own evil legion?

With this question in mind, Yun Zhao returned home lazily and couldn't be interested in anything, including Qian Duoduo's graceful dance.

Yun Zhang can already shoot arrows, and the one who is being ruined the most is undoubtedly Yun Chun and Yun Hua's big butt. So when Yun Chun accidentally poured a pot of hot tea on Yun Zhao, Yun Zhao could only ruthlessly clean up Yun Zhang who took a small bow and arrow to shoot Yun Chun's butt.

After beating Yun Zhang, Yun Zhao shook his hands sorely from hot water and complained to Yun Chun: "Next time I want to beat this bastard, just say it clearly, but you can do it yourself, don't splash hot water on me, right?"

Yun Chun said resentfully: "It was taught by his wife."

"What? Do you expect me to clean up Duoduo?"

"Yes, Yun Zhang initially used the big white goose as a target. The old lady felt sorry for the big white goose and was reluctant to scold her grandson. So after scolding the two ladies, Duoduo said that our butts were very suitable as targets."

Yun Zhao thought for a while and said, "Are you two very poor?"

Yun Chun shook his head and said, "It's not rich, but you can still take advantage of two or three thousand silver coins, and there is also a small village with a hundred acres of land."

"You like to be abused by Qian Duoduo?"

"Not that, Duoduo did not abuse us. Besides, she didn't dare to say that, for fear that we would say bad things to her in front of the old lady."

Yun Zhao said angrily: "So you two have their own good days, but staying in the inner house is just to torture me, right?"

Yunchun laughed and said, "We like to stay at home."

Qian Duoduo, who had just finished practicing dance, came over with sweat on his forehead and drank a cup of tea with Yun Zhao's tea cup before he was about to speak. When her husband pointed at Yun Chun and said to her, "Why haven't she married yet?"

Qian Duoduo said lazily: "I am a scholar who is a weak man and a military general. They dislike the rude and rich, and they look down on others. They look down on others who are not rich, and they don't like officials and those who do business are annoying.

Where did you ask me to find two people like you to give them?"

Yun Zhao looked at Yun Chun and said, "Do you like me?"

Yun Chun shook his head and said, "It's someone like you."

Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Look, this is what it is. Not to mention that there is no one like you in the world. Even if there are people, if they are discovered by me, they will be killed as soon as possible!"

Yun Chun said proudly: "No, then it's good to just stay at home for the rest of your life." After that, he left.

Yun Zhao pointed to the departure Yun Chun and said, "Why are everyone more confident than me?"

Qian Duoduo said in a naughty voice: "You are confident in yourself. Needless to say, others don't have the confidence to say it."

"I suddenly realized today that I seemed to be a bad guy, a big bad guy!"

Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Where is a bad guy who hopes everyone can live a good life? You are a good person."

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "I don't know why, it's particularly unreliable to say such words from your mouth."

Qian Duoduo giggled, "If you were a bad guy, I would be a bad guy. I would have been tired of being a good person. It would be nice for you to change."

Yun Zhao laughed when he heard this. Qian Duoduo said nothing. Since the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves is Lantian's national policy, there is no reason to change it easily. Any policy will change its course before it sees results, and the losses will be greater.

Zhu Cunji returned to the Great Honglu Mansion with gauze wrapped around his head. Although he was injured, his head still hurt slightly, but his feet were very light. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife Liu's miserable face.

"The county master agreed to Zhu Xiang and the others stay in Lantian."

Liu's body fell down softly. Fortunately, he was supported by a maid and did not fall to the ground.

As soon as he came to his senses, he pointed at Zhu Cunji and said, "For the sake of a few outsiders, you don't even care about the lives of the whole family."

At this time, Zhu Cunji, who had confidence, waved his robe and said, "What do you know, a woman!"

Liu cried and said, "You do these things just for a name."

Zhu Cunji said: "The Zhu family dynasty is over. Can the descendants of the Zhu family die? One person must come out to take them in and give them a bite of food.

From now on, no one would support the Zhu family, and we had to make a living by ourselves.

When these children arrive at me, I can provide them with food and clothing and raise them into adults. People live a stable life, and they will be fine one by one, so that no more trouble will occur.

In this way, the descendants of the Zhu family can survive.
