Stop pretending, I'm a traitor and I'm showing off my cards.

If he had to say it, Lu Zhengyuan would probably say something like this.

Strictly speaking, he didn't sell Dong Zheng alone, but everyone.

When he announced his decision to open the city gates to welcome His Majesty into the city, there was no objection. Instead, the officials showed a spirit of willingness to die generously with him!

Wang Pu, the left minister of the Household Department, said in a deep voice: "This Lin'an City, and even the entire Jianghuai River, has devoted all the efforts of King Anping. King Anping is not refusing to resist, but he can't bear the destruction of Lin'an, and he can't bear the suffering of the people in the war!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Someone else echoed: "In less than half a month, the Northern Dynasty army led by Emperor Yuanwu was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Everyone surrendered wherever they passed. King Anping had persisted to the end. It was out of compassion for the people that he made this decision!

"

"We have the utmost respect for King Anping and are willing to die together with him!"

"Yes, King Anping worked hard for the Southern Dynasty. We looked up at the mountains and thought that Emperor Yuanwu once entered the Jianghuai River and was killed by the butcher's knife. I thought that we would end up like this, but we thought that we could follow King Anping.

Have no fear!”

The crowd was so impassioned that Lu Zhengyuan rolled his eyes.

He wanted to say something.

But I felt that everything I said was in vain, so I simply didn’t say anything.

Things are impermanent!

"General Wan, give the order to open the city gate."

"yes!"

Wan San, the general of the city defense army, responded directly. His boss, the King of Huai'an, abandoned the army and surrendered to the court. Is he still stupid enough to defend Lin'an?

It’s better to follow King Anping,

There is a row of civil servants and a row of generals.

The Emperor Yongtai of Hou Kang was in front. Because he was too old, he used to be carried on a dragon when traveling, but now he also landed on the ground and knelt on the ground... It should be said that he was pushed to the ground.

After him was King Lu Zhengyuan of Anping.

This was truly a welcome, the scene was well prepared and there was no flaw to be found.

Of course, such a scene was also indispensable for Linxian Wang Wenxu, one of the founders of Houkang, but he was put in shackles and his mouth was tightly covered, so he could not speak.

This is naturally to prevent him from ruining Mr. Lu's reputation by yelling and yelling.

The person who received the same treatment as him was the former Jinyiwei Qianhu from Jianghuai Province.

There was sweat on his forehead, his legs were shaking, and he looked frightened, as if he was about to be scared out of his wits.

This made many officials in the Southern Dynasties look down upon you. Fortunately, you were once a guard of thousands of households, and you were not as courageous as us.

Little did he know that it was precisely because of his original identity that he was so scared.

Liu Dong is not afraid of the imperial court's criminal laws, he is afraid of the royal family's laws!

Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, there have been some who have taken bribes and others who have done things poorly, but he was the first to rebel.

This has tarnished the reputation of Jinyiwei Zhongjun and will definitely be severely punished.

Hua Xinghe, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, is known as His Majesty's shadow and will definitely follow him. How can Liu Dong not be afraid?

The whole scene was silent, everyone was kneeling silently, the city gate had been opened, and the suspension bridge had been lowered.

The soldiers of the city defense army took off their armor and threw away their weapons, showing their surrender. They were also kneeling.

After another two-quarters of an hour, a large number of soldiers ran in from the city gate, took over the city defense, and erected both sides.

People knelt down even lower, and after a while, Guan Ning, who had already walked down the dragon's path, walked into the city surrounded by people.

Emperor Daning is here!

The people outside were watching from a distance and talking in low voices, thinking that the person kneeling on the ground would probably be beheaded, and his entire clan would be implicated, and he didn't know how many more people would die.

In the past, people were just resisting the imperial court and were killed before they could rebel. Now, they are actually rebelling. Counting two years...

Deserve it!

Even the emperors of Wei and Liang went to the capital to sue for peace, and you are still thinking of rebelling. Is this not seeking death?

Later Kang in the Southern Dynasties?

How ridiculous!

They rebelled and paid taxes in the first year, and surrendered directly in the second year.

Emperor Yuanwu just came to show off, and the Southern Dynasty collapsed.

There are damned people like Liu Dong and Wen Xu.

It's a pity that Mr. Lu is dead. He was a good official who devoted himself to the people. What's even more precious is that he was from Liang...

The people were talking a lot, but Guan Ning had already arrived in front of them. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as we arrived outside Lin'an City, the city gates opened directly, and the officials in the city knelt on the ground to greet them. There was no fighting, no twists and turns, and no harm to the people. It was perfect!

Lu Zhengyuan is a great talent!

The question mark was one hundred, and he actually answered one hundred and fifty.

This... is very good.

Guan Ning thought about the purpose of this trip and why he wanted to conquer it personally.

First, having him in person would be more intimidating and avoid war.

The second is to clear Lu Zhengyuan's name.

If you can write a book, there must be one suitable for Lu Zhengyuan, Undercover Gangster, I Became the Boss!

If it were carried out normally, it would be very difficult to clear his name, and Lu Zhengyuan might not even have a place in Daning.

However, it would be easy for him, the emperor, to clear his name personally. All he needed was one sentence...

In order to be more effective, it should be exaggerated. He quickly stepped forward and directly helped Lu Zhengyuan up.

"My dear, I have suffered!"

Needless to say, everyone knew that what Lu Zhengyuan did was arranged by him... and it was immediately cleared up.

We can’t let the heroes feel cold!

Guan Ning thought to herself and stepped forward quickly, but she didn't want something to go wrong...

In this silence, one person actually spoke first.

"Sinners have seen my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Not only Guan Ning was surprised, but the officials and soldiers present who were originally Hou Kang were also surprised.

The person speaking was none other than Xiao Chao, the octogenarian Emperor Kang Yongtai!

He spends most of his time sleeping, not to mention talking, even opening his eyes is difficult.

But he is indeed getting older. He should be almost ninety years old now. It would be good if he is still alive. He was originally invited to come out just to be a puppet emperor...

Now he actually speaks. Although he feels old, his voice is still clear and he speaks fluently without hesitation at all.

He also calls himself a sinner, which shows that he is not always dizzy.

"The guilty are innocent!"

Emperor Yongtai said in a state of astonishment: "The sinner is fortunate to be merciful by His Majesty and is able to live in this world and enjoy his old age, but he was forced to take power by these thieves... What else did Emperor Yongtai do!"

"How can a country have two emperors? But the sinner is already old, so how can he resist? I can only grit my teeth and persevere, looking forward to His Majesty's arrival day and night..."

At this point, Lu Zhengyuan raised his head. He was really surprised.

He had always been senile, had difficulty walking, had trouble speaking, and was lethargic all day long. But now he seemed to be alive again, his speech was smooth, and his thoughts were clear.

He is exonerating himself, which is fine, but... this... this contrast between the past and the present is really hard to believe.

Lu Zhengyuan suddenly realized that the person hidden most deeply in this Southern Dynasty was not himself, but Emperor Yongtai who was sleeping all day long due to his old age...

At this time, Emperor Yongtai took out another fold from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head.

"This is an example of anti-thief crimes that the sinner asked Quan Zi to secretly record. It has been seen since Kangxi and Jianshe!"
