Wen Tiren lowered his head, not daring to pursue him.
If the Tiger-Character Banner army had not invaded the capital, he could have used the power of the cabinet to mobilize the yamen in central Beijing to capture the Tiger-Character Banner people.
It's a pity that at this time, all the yamen have too much time to take care of themselves, and even many officials in the capital are beginning to think about how to please the new dynasty, and how can they offend the new dynasty for him, who is the old man of the former dynasty.
Even he himself had to consider whether he should go to Nandu again.
"Brother Changqing, come and sit at my place?" Zhou Yanru invited Wen Tiren to the study.
Wen Tiren hesitated.
Thinking that the two of them were facing the same embarrassing situation now, maybe the other party could come up with some good solution, so he nodded.
As the Tiger-Character Banner invaded the capital, although the streets were in chaos, the homes of those high-ranking families were still safe. Unless rebels broke in, the ordinary people on the streets who took advantage of the chaos and looted could not threaten these high-ranking families. Big house.
Although the Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang was young, he knew that he had caught him. He kicked and bit the person holding him in an attempt to win over him.
However, what he got back was two slaps.
Zhu Cixiang, who had never been beaten since childhood, cried bitterly, but did not dare to move any more.
After the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp retreated, rioters began to appear in the inner city, smashing, looting and looting everywhere. Wang Zi and his men tried their best to get out of the way without fighting with these rioters. But when he couldn't get past them, he opened fire and killed a few of them. , the remaining rebels naturally fled.
As for the ordinary people who were picking up the bargains, when they saw that everyone in Wang Zizi's group had weapons, they were not easy to mess with at first sight and did not dare to get involved.
They just wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the city, and since there was no conflict between the two sides, they naturally did not want to provoke the murderers who were passing by Wang Ziyi's team.
After encountering several defeated troops, Wang and his party entered a courtyard on their own.
"With so many defeated troops in the inner city, our army may soon take over the entire capital."
Back in the courtyard, everyone relaxed, and one of them said excitedly.
They have been living in the capital for many years, and every day they live is preparing for today. Seeing that their expectations for so many years are about to become a reality, many of them are very excited.
"The capital city has completely changed hands. It's not too late for you to celebrate. Lock up this little guy first and leave one person to watch him closely. Don't let him escape." Wang Ziping ordered his men.
The yard isn't particularly big, it's just a dark spot in their inner city.
After explaining, Wang walked to the main room on his own.
As for the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, he just did it casually. After all, he was just a child of a few years old, and he was far less credited than catching the emperor.
He walked towards the main room, but before he could reach it, someone walked out of the main room.
"Division, Director." Wang subconsciously stood up straight.
Yang Yuan's appearance was beyond his expectation.
"It's been hard work for so many years." Yang Yuan spoke with heart-warming words.
Wang rubbed his nose on his own and said, "It's not hard. These years in the capital are much better than the days when I had no fixed place to live."
"My lord and I can see your contribution to the capital over the years. Now that the capital is about to be captured by us, you won't have to work so hard in the future." Yang Yuan raised his hand and patted Wang Zibing on the shoulder.
Although Wang Zi did not say it, he knew that the other party had not had an easy life in the capital these years.
Except for the first two years of the Tianqi Dynasty, which were pretty good, once Wei Zhongxian gained power, Wang Zixing's life in the capital became difficult.
This situation has continued until now. The Tiger Banner army finally broke through the capital, and the string in my heart can finally be relaxed.
"By the way, Director, my subordinates have captured an important person in the palace." Wang mentioned Zhu Cixiang on his own, and then turned to his subordinates and said, "Bring that little guy here and let the Director have a look."
Yang Yuan then looked over, raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Cixiang who was about to be taken into the side room, and said, "That's the little guy!"
"That's him. Despite his young age, he is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty." Wang introduced Zhu Cixi's identity.
Yang Yuan looked at the child with red lips and white teeth in front of him and asked seriously: "Can the identity be confirmed?"
"The news came from people in the palace. My subordinate personally took someone to pick it up from outside Zhou Yanru's house. I also asked the bearer who sent him the sedan chair and confirmed that the person came out of the palace." Wang Zizi explained.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan knew that the little baby in front of him was most likely the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he said: "Old Wang, you have made a great contribution."
"He is just a crown prince. My subordinates originally wanted to capture the dog emperor Chongzhen, but unfortunately the dog emperor hid in the palace and could not come out, so they failed." Wang Ziyi looked aggrieved that he could not catch the emperor.
Hearing these boastful words, Yang Yuan raised his hand and punched Wang Ziqing on the chest lightly with his fist, laughing and scolding: "You said you are fat and you are breathless, why don't you go to heaven!"
Wang Zizi chuckled.
"How to deal with this crown prince? Originally, my subordinates wanted to lock him up first, but now that you are here, Director, I will leave that person to you." Wang Zi took a look at Zhu Cihong.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "I will report the capture of the Ming Crown Prince to my lord, but you are still responsible for taking care of him. When my lord enters the city, I will send someone to contact you."
"My lord is here too?" Wang Ziyi's eyes lit up.
Yang Yuan said with a smile: "It's such a big thing to attack the Ming Dynasty, how could the lord not be here? When the situation in the capital is almost under control, the lord should enter the city."
"Well, I haven't listened to my lord's instructions for several years." Wang Zi said excitedly.
Yang Yuan smiled and said: "There will be no shortage of opportunities in the future."
"Master, are you still leaving when you come to the capital this time?" Wang Ziying asked suddenly.
Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. Many people inside hope that the lord will stay in the capital and take over the imperial city in the future, but the lord has never spoken. No one can guarantee whether the lord will stay in the capital in the end."
"I hope that my lord can take over the palace. Our tiger-character flag will be more legitimate in the future. It's best if my lord ascends the throne again. Then the director of the department will definitely have a title for you." Wang Zizi said with envy.
They have been preparing for so many years, not just for today. Once Liu Heng ascends the throne as emperor, the Tiger Character Flag will no longer be a traitor in others' words, but will become a real country.
They all hope that the Tiger Flag can become a real country.
"I see, Lao Wang, you have long been looking forward to receiving meritorious service and rewards as soon as possible." Yang Yuan joked.
Wang Zijin said with a smile: "How can we not look forward to it? We were all thieves in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty back then. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been overthrown and a new dynasty has been established, everyone has become the hero of the new dynasty. We are no longer the same as before. Everyone is shouting that he is a traitor."
