Chapter Twelve

"This..." After hearing the eunuch's words, Zhu Chunchen couldn't help but look at Gu Zhenhua.

"Mr. Grandpa, long live to find you, why are you hesitating? The villain is accompanying you."

Gu Zhenhua said as he jumped off the horse and followed Zhu Chunchen tightly. The old guy was still shocked. Gu Zhenhua was not afraid of his tricks. The two of them came to Chongzhen's horse.

"My minister Zhu Chunchen, long live your greetings, long live long live long live long live long!" Gu Zhenhua also followed Zhu Chunchen and bowed to Chongzhen together.

"Duke Chengguo, please give up the gift quickly."

A hoarse voice came over and the two of them got up. Gu Zhenhua also looked up suddenly and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a yellow horse. He was thin and had a hunched back. His cheeks were fleshless, his face was turmeric, and his eyes were covered with blood. He looked like a tired bean sprout. Gu Zhenhua was disappointed, and there was nothing special about this emperor.

"My dear, the country of Ming Dynasty is over. I am the king of the country that has been destroyed!" Chongzhen said sadly.

"Your Majesty, maybe there may be a king-serious army, so don't worry too much." Zhu Chunchen said this without any confidence. He was kidnapped, so what else could he do? However, Chongzhen seemed not to notice this, but turned around and asked his eunuch to take over a child of fifteen or sixteen.

"My dear, among the nobles in the capital, you are the oldest and most loyal to the Ming Dynasty. I entrust the crown prince to you, and a glimmer of vitality in the Ming Dynasty will fall on your shoulders. Please don't refuse."

"Ah!" Zhu Chunchen was also shocked. At this time, the prince was a hot potato. If Li Zicheng rushed in, the prince would probably die, so it would be better to protect the prince. It would be better not to touch such dangerous things.

But just when Zhu Chunchen was confused, Gu Zhenhua said softly behind him: "Duke, don't you agree to the emperor's instructions?"

"Agree, agree!" Zhu Chunchen was completely scared and could only nod in a hurry. The old eunuch pulled the crown prince Zhu Cilang and walked to Zhu Chunchen's side.

Gu Zhenhua has been staring at the prince. In fact, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was good at Chongzhen's children and did not make things difficult for them at all. As a Han regime, Li Zicheng had a broad mind and had no worries about children. But Gu Zhenhua knew in his heart that once the Qing Dynasty came in, the prince of the Ming Dynasty would be of great value. Many times of the Qing Dynasty uprisings were under the banner of Prince Zhu San.

At present, Gu Zhenhua is still weak and needs to learn to take advantage of the situation. If he can get this prince, it will be a trump card that wins people's hearts and it is worth the risk! It is precisely because of this that Gu Zhenhua asked Zhu Chunchen to accept the prince.

"My dear, this is my seal and legacy... the will. From now on, you will lead the army and assist the prince!"

As he spoke, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to deliver a yellow cloth bag to Zhu Chunchen, and Zhu Chunchen also took it. A bright color flashed in Gu Zhenhua's eyes.

A minister who entrusts his orphans!

With this title, we can call on those military, civilians and subjects who are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty to firmly occupy the title of righteousness. The prince, seal, and last order cannot be let go. Gu Zhenhua secretly made up his mind.

At this moment, another burst of dense cannon sounds came, and the Dashun Army's attack on the city became even more intense.

"Long live, let's avoid it for the time being. Leave it to Duke Cheng." The old eunuch Wang Chengen couldn't help but say. Chongzhen also nodded reluctantly.

"Zhu Aiqing, please give me everything."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated to the Forbidden City, leaving Zhu Chunchen behind, and stood there blankly. Gu Zhenhua walked to Zhu Chunchen with a smile.

"Congratulations to the Duke of the State, it is really gratifying to have become an important minister entrusted by the emperor."

"Mr. Gu, I don't have my life in my hands, so what's there to be happy about?" Zhu Chunchen said with a lonely expression: "I just hope that Mr. Gu can keep his promise. As long as he is sent to Chaoyang Gate, I must give me freedom."

"Don't worry, I'm not a person who has no faith."

They got on the war horses and rushed towards Xizhimen. At this time, the sky had dimmed, but the sound of artillery in the west of the city continued, and the flames turned half of the sky red.

Gu Zhenhua silently calculated that it was the night of March 18th, which means that one day, the King of Chuang would enter Beijing, and Chongzhen would hang himself on the Coal Mountain. He had to hurry up!

"Duke, you are the minister who entrusts your orphans now, so it's no problem to mobilize hundreds of people. I'm quick to order my elder brother and others to go to Chaoyang Gate to wait for the opportunity, otherwise I won't blame you for being ruthless."

Zhu Chunchen smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gu, you are right, but don't forget that Chaoyangmen and the Ming army have passed by like this. It's easy for hundreds of people to leave the city, right?"

Gu Zhenhua frowned and asked coldly: "What are your plans?"

"It's very simple. Go to Xizhimen first, and then mobilize people from Chaoyangmen on the pretext of tension in the war, and then let Lu Yong take over the city defense. In this way, you can leave as long as you want, without any obstacles."

When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he nodded slightly. It was indeed a good idea, but he had a little doubt in his heart. When did Zhu Chunchen become so kind and could actually think about the robbers?

Gu Zhenhua's heart kept marking questions. At this time, they were getting closer and closer to Xizhimen. The road was covered with wounded soldiers, constantly wailing, and shells fell on the city wall, like muffled thunder, which made people terrified.

At this moment, a general in charge ran over in a panic and saw Zhu Chunchen, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the thieves are in urgent need of attacks on the city. The brothers can't stand it anymore and need reinforcements!"

Zhu Chunchen nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, go and pass on my orders and let the defenders of Chaoyang Gate come to support him."

"Duke, this is probably inappropriate. If Chaoyang Gate falls, wouldn't it be..."

"Don't worry, Chaoyang Gate is not the main attack of the thieves. I have sent servants to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Of course, this general of the genius was not clear about the situation, and he thought that Zhu Chunchen had a clear plan and was very sure of your ability, so he hurriedly sent the order.

Zhu Chunchen looked at the back of the general who was leaving, staring at Gu Zhenhua again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, I have already made my promise, I will see you below!"

"Haha, don't worry, wait for people to leave the city. Then you escort down to Chaoyang Gate, and I will naturally release the Duke."

"Hmph!" Zhu Chunchen snorted coldly. He also knew that Gu Zhenhua was not that easy to deal with, so he could only speak silently.

After a while, Zhu Chunchen suddenly said, "Mr. Gu, I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you would like to listen?"

"Okay, what advice does the Duke of the State have? How can I not listen to it?"

The two of them walked into a shop next to the street, and the owners inside had already run away. Xue Biao and his people guarded the doors and windows, and Gu Zhenhua and Zhu Chunchen sat opposite each other.

"Mr. Gu, you are a smart person. To be fair, the Ming Dynasty is no longer saved. The King of Chuang Li Zicheng won the world, which is also the general trend. You must follow the trend in everything and not go against the will of heaven."

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Duke, you just got your Majesty's entrustment to you. Is this appropriate to say now?"

"Oh, I have no choice but to be a hero in the current affairs. Mr. Gu, I have a suggestion that the prince and the seal are in my hands. As long as I give these to the King of Chuang, I will definitely be rich and unlimited. I will not take the credit for myself. As long as you are willing, we will offer it together, and we will also open the Xizhimen. Change the dynasty and generations, and we will be ministers of the same palace, and enjoy wealth and honor together. I think you should not insist on leaving the city. With the courage and courage of the gentleman, you will not worry about not using the King of Chuang. Maybe in a few years, you will be above me. At that time, I will rely on Mr. Gu's care."

When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he sneered slightly: "Duke, I can only give you two words: Scum! Your family has been blessed with Zhu Ming's grace for generations and has been a high-ranking minister for more than 200 years. Do you not even have any gratitude?"

Zhu Chunchen was also angry when he was scolded for being a scumbag, but he still controlled his emotions and thought to himself that after surrendering to the King of Chuang, he was a dignified Duke and his official position would never be too small. Then he would deal with an ant like Gu Zhenhua, and he would be able to capture it without any effort. The old guy suppressed his anger with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Gu, you are still young after all. If I live, I may be able to follow Fu Daming's royal family. If I die, I will not be able to do anything!"

Gu Zhenhua nodded slightly, looked at Zhu Chunchen with fun again, and suddenly smiled: "The Duke of the State is really awesome. I'm going out to discuss with my brothers."
