Chapter 74: Three Lives Can't Escape Shi Kefa

Gao Di's expression changed drastically when he heard Hou Sizhi's words, "Say it again!" After hearing Hou Siyan's words, Gao Di patted his horse and led his men to chase him. Most of the five thousand men he led were martial law around Nanjing City, with only 300 people around him.

Shi Kefa and Huang Zongxi and Chen Rong rushed to the palace all the way. On the way, he encountered several groups of soldiers who implemented curfews and were killed and dispersed by Chen Rong. Chen Rong was one of the rare bloody men in the Donglin Party. He had hundreds of yamen soldiers who were trained by him on a daily basis and had good combat power.

Huang Zongxi knew that if he didn't fight tonight, he would be the end of Ling Chi. While walking, he shouted that there was a thief's rebellion. The street leading to the palace was mostly homes of officials. People who didn't know the details saw Shi Kefa in it and sent their servants to follow him. Before he arrived at the palace gate, there were nearly a thousand people.

Shi Kefa came to the palace gate and called the door unanswered. Chen Rong saw that the palace gate was closed and ordered his subordinates to set fire to the door. At this time, Shi Kefa saw something was wrong, "Stop it quickly..."

Chen Rong's knife crossed his hand to Shi Kefa's neck and whispered: "Don't be too long-winded, come here, take care of Shi Chief Shi." Chen Rong cut off the hem of his clothes with a knife and blocked Shi Kefa's mouth and handed it to his subordinates for supervision. He and Huang Zongxi came to the palace gate to supervise the battle.

The person on duty in the palace tonight was Ji Xian. He was ordered by the emperor to take dozens of boards to take a good rest, but he was so fit that he felt very good after being hit by the board, so he didn't have a rest. During the routine inspection, he heard the noise outside the palace gate. He heard Shi Kefa talking and he was about to open the palace gate because he had just put Zhao Zhilong in Xincheng, but Chen Rong couldn't wait to order the door to set fire.

Ji Xian climbed high and was frightened when he saw it. He didn't know how many people were outside the palace gate, but there was a fire below! While he ordered people to dismantle bricks and stones to block the palace gate, he ordered people to report to the emperor.

Gao Di's troops and Chen Rong Huang Zongxi were nearly ten minutes away. Gao Di came to the palace gate and saw the fire at the sky, and he couldn't help but bloody his pupils. "The traitor dares to be so arrogant. Let's see your grandfather Gao takes your life!" Gao Di ordered a hundred households to go to mobilize troops and led the crowd into Chen Rong's formation.

Gao Di was surrounded by his side with carefully selected strong soldiers. Although he had never been on the battlefield, he was extremely strict with the hundreds of people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they could be eleven at all. The soldiers were holding up their energy during training, and today they found a way to show their skills. They were like a group of hungry wolves pounced into the flock of sheep, and they were like rolling soup and pouring snow, killing the officials and servants who followed Chen Rong and others in scattered their spirits. When they met Chen Rong's headquarters, they were slightly frustrated.

Chen Rong and Huang Zongxi did not expect that a team of Gao Di would emerge. Chen Rong held a knife in his hand and looked at the scattered officials and servants who were killed and couldn't help but feel anxious, "Taichong, be sure to open the palace gate as soon as possible, and I will stabilize my position." Chen Rong handed over the important task of scoring the goal to Huang Zongxi and led more than a hundred close servants to Gao Di. The two elite soldiers were fighting each other, which was a fierce battle.

Wang Duo and I were discussing what to do next by holding Gao Hongtu and others. The eunuch reported that Zhao Zhilong wanted to see him, and after he asked him to come in, he heard his head Gao Hongtu. When he learned that Gao Hongtu's party was conspiring in Gao's mansion, I couldn't help but slamming high and applauded. Suddenly, a guard ran in panic, "Report to the emperor, the big thing is not good, and some rioters are plotting against each other, setting fire to the palace gate...!"

Wang Duo and others looked ugly when they heard this news. Gao Kuicong's heart was beating. Has things changed a lot? Gao Di led 5,000 troops to stop his foot? Thinking that Gao Di might be surprised, Gao Kuicong really wanted to fly out to see it, but the emperor didn't say anything, and he dared not act rashly. Gu Pan looked extremely anxious.

"I'll go and see who rebelled!" I heard Ji Xian was commanding the guards to dismantle bricks and stones to defend the palace gate, but I could sit still. "Gao Kuicong, immediately call the palace guards to the palace gate for reinforcements." I was calm on the surface, but my nervous heart almost jumped out of my body. On the way to the palace gate, I felt like my feet were stepping on cotton without any effort. I was afraid that before I could reach the outside of the palace gate, I could kill in. When I saw the fire in front of the palace gate, listening to the fighting outside the door, sweat on my back had already flowed to my waist and soaked the underwear around my belt.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous in front of you." Wu Dayou saw that the emperor was going forward and he quickly stopped him. What wouldn't it be bad if the emperor was injured by a wandering arrow? Wang Duo on the side also advised him and asked Wu Dayou to take over the defense of the palace gate.

The sound of fighting outside the door seemed to pierce the sharp arrows into my mind. I looked at the temporary platform set up next to the palace wall and came up on the stage despite the opposition of Wang Duo and Wu Da. I was afraid of death. But at this time, I would be relieved if I didn't look at the situation outside. I was worried that the general who led the troops would follow him and rebel, because Gao Di led five thousand soldiers to the city and was beaten to the front of the palace gate by the rebellion! When I climbed onto the platform, the battlefield outside the palace gate was changing.

The fire lit in front of the palace gate made half of the battlefield brightly illuminate. Chen Rong and Gao Di fought several times and suffered casualties. The overall situation was becoming more and more beneficial to Gao Di, because Gao Di's reinforcements were constantly coming to the palace; Chen Rong's side had one less death, and the team of nearly a thousand people was less than five hundred left at this time.

Seeing that the reinforcements arrived, Gao Di was very determined, so he turned his horse and withdrew from the battlefield to take on the responsibility of command. Under orderly command, several charges defeated Chen Rong's team. How could there be a chance of victory for nearly 2,000 people fighting each other?

Shi Kefa was locked by Chen Rong's two subordinates, and his mouth was blocked by rags and could not speak. He was sweating profusely as he watched the two clashes. Under Gao Di's charge, the two men could no longer hold Shi Kefa's hands and were broken free.

Shi Kefa was free to remove the rag from his mouth, "Stop! I am Shi, hurry up...ah!" Before Shi Kefa finished speaking, he was shot on the shoulder by a sharp arrow flying from nowhere. His body was unstable and someone was huddled around him and fell to the ground. It was better if he couldn't afford to fall to the ground on this occasion. After trampling and ravaging, there was no sound.

I climbed up to look under the fire, and saw Shi Kefa shouting hard and then fell to the ground and was submerged in the crowd. This scene made me stunned. I stared at the place where Shi Kefa fell to the ground and stared at him. Was he just dead?

Chen Rong watched the people around him fall down and the army surrounded him more and more. He knew that there was no hope of survival tonight. He was determined to die and fought hard. In the end, he was killed by several swords. As soon as Chen Rong died, the morale of the remaining people suddenly fell. After one surrendered, countless people followed suit. Huang Zongxi saw this and wanted to commit suicide by slashing his sword. The people around him knocked it off and tied it to the ground, tied it up and dragged it to Gao Dima to seek credit.

This paragraph is complicated to write, but Chen Rong and others set fire to the door until they were defeated and surrendered by Gao Di. It took only thirty minutes. I watched Gao Di tie up the defeated soldiers on the stage and remembered Shi Kefa. I quickly stepped down and ordered people to open the palace gate to see what was going on.

At this time, Gao Di had ordered people to put out the fire outside the palace gate. When he saw the emperor coming out first, he quickly got off the horse and knelt on one knee, "I will not protect you, and the emperor forgives your crime."

I reached out and helped Gao Di up and said hurriedly: "What a crime to do well? I will reward you according to your merits and clean up the battlefield." I walked around Gao Di and went straight to Shi Kefa's place where he fell to the ground. I remember that place very clearly.

Gao Kuicong felt relieved when he saw his son's hanging heart. He didn't hear what the emperor said just now, "What did you do? How could such a big mistake?" Gao Kuicong thought that Gao Di's guilt was not as simple as unfavorable as protecting the enemy. Fortunately, the rebellion was put before the palace gate. If the rebel attacked the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable! Gao Di naturally knew the pros and consequently, and was scolded by his father.

I stopped moving Shi Kefa's army. Looking at Shi Kefa who was almost trampled on the ground, I couldn't help feeling sad. He and Zheng Chenggong were the first people I wanted to rely on when I came to this era. Zheng Chenggong and I got along well. I originally wanted to be close to Shi Kefa, but this sudden change left this idea without the possibility of practice. It is a regret.

Wang Duo came over and was surprised to see the people on the ground, "Xianzhi! How could Xianzhi be here!" Wang Duo respected Shi Kefa's character very much. Shi Kefa could not rebel, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw Shi Kefa who died tragically.

I sighed and asked someone to prepare the best coffin to bury Shi Kefa. The general was inevitably killed in front of the formation. It was a pity that Kefa died here.

At dawn, Nanjing City had returned to peace. Except for the residents in some neighborhoods and the officials who followed Shi Kefa heard the shouts of killing last night, people did not know what happened in the city last night. After the city gate opened, people had a busy day.

I didn't sleep all night last night. After listening to Gao Di's report, I listened to Yin Shixun's report. Finally, I discussed the aftermath with Wang Duo and others. Today's morning court was also cancelled. Most officials in the court were taken to prison. It doesn't make much sense to go to the morning court.

On the issue of the aftermath, I reached an agreement with Wang Duo. Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan and Jiang Riguang and other backbones of Donglin could not escape the death penalty. All Gao Hongtu's pro-party members and Gao Hongtu's accomplices were all demoted to the people and imprisoned for trial to further crack down on the attack and divide. There are punishments, and there are rewards. Gao Di Yinshixun protected the lord and was promoted to Gao Di to the deputy general and was granted the title of Yinshixun as the second-rank envoy, second only to Liu Zongzhou, the left-handed lord. Zhao Zhilong made a contribution to the rebel, but this contribution was somewhat lucky, and only verbal rewards were given. Shi Kefa's question has been asked clearly. He posthumously named Shi Kefa as Duke of Wu, and those officials who followed Shi Kefa also gave rewards to those who did not die. The rest of the meritorious people were awarded differently, and the soldiers who died and injured were also given pensions.

I didn't recover from panic until this time, knowing that there is no force around Nanjing that can bind me. How to establish a new atmosphere is what I should do most now. Where should I start?
