Chapter 31: On the Road
Over the years, the education work of the Phoenix Army has been carried out relatively well.
The more Phoenix soldiers who have followed Yu Ying for a long time, the more accepting Yu Ying transmits the knowledge of the past.
Too many people only start reading and writing after literacy.
The education they received was not the same as the original.
Some of the excesses were removed.
Just like filial piety, the Phoenix Army is still advocating.
But the government is against that kind of foolish filial piety, and even deliberately gives examples, which kind of filial piety should be had, and which kind of foolish filial piety.
Although, such foolish people will still exist in the future, but at least they are voluntary.
People who are involuntary will naturally not do that kind of thing that is beyond their ability.
The unreasonable demands of the elders can be refused.
In the case of unkindness of the elders, it is not considered a sin of disobedience for the younger ones to disobey the orders of the elders.
This is all for the sake of planning for the future, so that those people have the same three views as her, and don't go down the old road again.
Some rotten people always reject new things and keep clamoring to abide by the ancestral system.
If you really want to abide by the ancestral system all the time, then human beings are still living in caves, digging wild vegetables, and eating raw meat in primitive societies.
What kind of brocade clothes and delicacies are there? What high-ranking officials are there?
As intelligent beings, there is always progress.
If you don't make progress, you will fall behind and be beaten.
These concepts are constantly instilled by Yu Ying, that is, to create the blood of the nation.
A nation can be kind, but it must not be without blood.
In fact, Yu Ying doesn't know what history will say about her in the future?
Will anyone think she's a careerist?
There's really no guarantee for that.
Because people have thousands of ideas, there will always be people who don't like it.
But she has no regrets.
Things have come to this point because of many factors.
If he doesn't rebel, Ah He will never be able to restore his true identity, and he may even be killed because he is recognized.
This decision was made by Yu Ying after weighing the pros and cons.
Since she had already walked ninety-nine steps, she was one step away, so she decided to go on.
The merits and demerits of the merits and demerits are commented on by future generations.
After the victory in the northwest, all the preparations have been made, and even Ah He is also ready.
Finally, preparations began to be made to launch the heaviest blow against the Great Hung Dynasty.
The Phoenix Army and the Liao Family Army actually advanced from two roads, approaching the remnants of the Great Hung Dynasty.
In this regard, the emperor was 10,000 unconvinced, why did the two families still not fight at this time?
The two are still allies, which is a little wrong.
And when Yu Ying was about to take the team away in person, she received a request, saying that it was the old man, and the prince wanted to see Yu Ying.
"Is it their brother and sister?" asked Yu Ying.
At this time, she had already made a plan of action, and the forward troops were on the road.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, Zhang Ziyu (Prince Yu) and his sister actually came here, what was it for?
"Yes, Marshal. ”
"Alright, then let's take half an hour to meet their brother and sister. ”
Yu Ying didn't refuse, and decided to look at the intentions of these two, they should know something.
Soon, Yu Ying's subordinates came in with people, "Two of you, please come in." ”
"Marshal, they have arrived. ”
"I've seen the marshal. Zhang Ziyu's brothers and sisters saw Yu Ying and hurriedly greeted her.
Yu Ying smiled and said, "Thank you, how are you?"
She looked at the two brothers and sisters, Zhang Ziyu's current appearance, he had completed his growth into an adult man, and even had grown a mustache.
And the princess was already a mother of several children, and she had become much more mature.
It seems that they are having a good time.
In addition, Yu Ying also knew that over the years, their brothers and sisters and their attendants had still obeyed the laws of the Phoenix Army.
That's good.
Ignoring their mothers, they let them out at the risk of being killed by the emperor.
"Our brother and sister are very nice. Zhang Ziyu said.
Over the years, he has opened a bookstore, and his business is okay.
As for my sister marrying a commoner, she is living well.
In my sister's heart, it is better to have the love of my family than everything cold in the palace.
At this moment, the brother and sister were a little uneasy in their hearts, after all, their ideas might be unreasonable in the eyes of the Phoenix Army.
So when facing this marshal, he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Have you come for your mother, or for this day? ”
Yu Ying saw their hesitation at a glance, so she asked, I don't know who they want to intercede?
"For Mother. Zhang Ziyu said.
With that, he knelt down.
Then he lowered his voice and said: "Marshal, although I don't know if there is a grudge between you and your mother, but she has been sealed in the palace all these years, which is equivalent to imprisonment, and I beg the marshal not to worry about my mother." ”
With that, he prostrated his head.
And his sister also behaved like this.
Yu Ying smiled slightly, it seemed that Empress Zhang did not tell her son her secret.
She was careful.
It should be to prevent accidents to sons and daughters.
The fewer people who know the secret, the better, and she will keep that secret.
However, he is very aware of current affairs.
"Get up, I didn't plan to do anything. ”
Yu Ying didn't blame Zhang Ziyu's brothers and sisters, if they were children and pretended to be dead at this time, then Yu Ying would look down on them.
After all, in this world, Empress Zhang is really good to their brothers and sisters.
She may not be a good girlfriend, nor a good queen, nor a good daughter, but she is definitely a good mother.
Leave the hope of life to the child, and would rather have a bad life yourself.
Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain, and her children stood up at this time.
"Also, the one of you is willing to support her in her old age?"
"I!" and "I!" said in unison.
"Then remember yourselves. ”
Yu Ying smiled, and then said, "Then you guys prepare, maybe," Speaking of this, Yu Ying paused for a moment before continuing: "Your mother will live." ”
The reason why she is not completely sure is because the world is impermanent.
Who knows if that emperor will have any special operations at the end?
Yu Ying remembered that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty once killed some concubines, dragons and phoenixes when the capital was broken.
Because Emperor Chongzhen felt that if he left them, he would also live a miserable life.
It's better to die early and be born early.
In the end, the emperor did not survive, and hanged himself on the crooked neck tree in the coal mountain.
Therefore, when Yu Ying said this, when she thought of history, she was not sure, what would happen to Empress Zhang?
In case, the emperor is thinking about giving those concubines to death now.
Well, there is nothing she can do.
Zhang Ziyu heard the meaning of her words.
He groaned for a moment, but at this time he also knew that their mother didn't know what was going on now?
"That can only be done to the best of God's fate, marshal. He said.
"It's good that you know. ”
"Marshal, can I go and pick up my mother specifically?" Zhang Ziyu said.
The queen mother has been staying in the harem all these years, and now that the war has burned there, how can he, as a son, rest assured?
Doing nothing, just waiting, he can't do this.
When he asked, Yu Ying's eyes looked at him, and the eyes of the two looked at each other.
"So, can I trust you?" asked Yu Ying.
"I will never do anything harmful to the Phoenix Army, and I swear that if I break my oath, my family will not die a good death. He raised his hand and swore to heaven.
Yu Ying smiled from the bottom of her heart.
This is because Empress Zhang and her two children have a deep mother-son relationship.
However, she did not say anything, but left a sentence and said, "Remember your words, then you can come along!" ”
In the end, it was Zhang Ziyu who followed.
Because his identity was a little sensitive, he followed Yu Ying's guards to act together.
As Jinshang's son, Yu Ying feels that it is better to be careful, she alone can trust that Zhang Ziyu will not betray.
But there are too many people in the Phoenix Army, and she can't risk their lives to gamble on other people's conscience.
And Zhang Ziyu has more opportunities to get to know this handsome woman.
Then when on the road, Zhang Ziyu will often see this handsome woman, this woman is marching with the army, riding a horse.
Even when eating, he followed ordinary soldiers and ate a big pot of rice that didn't taste too good.
Totally a qualified general.
Even when he first started, he couldn't stand the speed of the march.
I gritted my teeth and slowly got through.
But as a handsome person, she has always been radiant and following her team.
You must know that every day when he is tired and sleepy, she is still working in her tent.
By the next day, the handsome woman had already gotten up early.
After persisting for a few days, Zhang Ziyu gradually got used to the marching speed of the Phoenix Army.
Only then can I have the energy to observe more things.
He found that this handsome woman did things by herself many times, rather than being pampered and served.
This surprised him, after all, she was the generalissimo of the Phoenix Army.
Supposedly, there should be a lot of people serving.
Zhang Ziyu still remembers that when she was in the palace, every time the queen mother washed her face, the palace ladies who served each had their own responsibilities, some rolled up their sleeves, and some took things.
And now this one, he fetched some water and washed himself.
If you can do it yourself, you can do it yourself.
The female guards beside her don't care much about these private matters.
Of course, the female guards around her are also very capable, and they are more assistants.
When marching along the way, the Phoenix Army was ordered and forbidden, and the discipline was strict.
Zhang Ziyu was thoughtful.
He found that Yu Ying still avoided it when it rained or something.
The current level of medical care is still poor.
And the female guards around her are all following her closely, and it will not be good for girls to suffer from the cold.
For the sake of their future, it is better to be careful for a living.
After a long time, Zhang Ziyu could see that those female guards really admired Yu Ying from the bottom of their hearts.
However, there are also differences between them.
During the break, some people said that they wanted to be like this handsome woman.
When she spoke about this ideal, some people agreed, but she didn't speak, and her upbringing made her not speak out much.
There are also people who laugh at the person who speaks, thinking that she is talking big.
She said: "Ha! It's like a toad yawning, what a big breath, do you have the qualifications of a handsome woman?"
As a result, the little lady was silent for a moment, obviously comparing it.
Only then did he purse his lips and said: "Of course I know, I don't have that qualification, but even if I can't do it, I won't regret it if I work hard." ”
And Yu Ying happened to hear this, so she walked out.
She applauded: "Well said, in fact, as long as each of us has worked hard and has a clear conscience." ”
"What I'm trying to say is, don't be compromised, everyone is unique, and you can all do your best. ”
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the female guards.
Then she turned and walked away.
There were some things she didn't want to say.
But her gaze stayed on the little lady who was sarcastic about others for a longer time.
Let her know in her heart that Yu Ying does not agree with her approach.
After this Q&A, some confused women have their own directions.
In Yu Ying's view, if someone is not very willing to come out to work and is willing to be a housewife, it is okay.
It's a personal choice, as long as it's not illegal.
The more Zhang Ziyu looked at it, the more surprised she became, and she somewhat understood the reason why those people around Yu Ying respected her so much.
In the cities we visited along the way, some surrendered, and some resisted.
Those who surrendered were screened, some remained in office, and others were dismissed.
Not all officials are suitable to be good officials.
Halfway through, Yu Ying also met a loyal minister who jumped off the city wall and fell to his death in front of the city gate.
In the end, Yu Ying also asked the man's bones to be collected and returned to his family.
Along the way, it was very smooth and almost arrived in the capital, Yu Ying looked at the passing city.
After seeing the modern city and the city of Xiuzhen, let's take a look at the so-called city, in Yu Ying's opinion, the area of this city is very small.
Look at the so-called tall city walls, if in the future generations, it will be finished with a single cannon hit.
In later generations, the walls were abandoned altogether.
After the Phoenix Army blocked most of the roads leading to the capital, the Liao family army in the northwest was also on the way to come.
The emperor was so angry in the palace.
The Phoenix Army and the Liao Family Army did not fight, but were on the way to come.
Why not fight?
If Empress Zhang was here, maybe he would tell the emperor with great compassion: "People are a family, fart." ”
But the current emperor does not know.
Even he himself doesn't know, has this crisis survived?
Eight or nine times out of ten.
The emperor knew that if he was in power, he would definitely not be able to let go of the Liao family.
Therefore, the Liao family should not let him go this time.
The emperor really couldn't sit still, so he sat and walked around the palace.
He looked through the window of the Forbidden City, and the whole Forbidden City was so solemn, he was born here and grew up.
There was a time when he wanted to spread his wings and fly high.
But, in the end, stay here.
Although the palace rooms here, some places are eerie.
But in his heart, this is his home.
What I can't imagine now is that this family seems to really have to change owners.
It hurts to think about it.
There are always those traitors and thieves in this world, why are they honest and obedient?
And he didn't want to leave this home to outsiders.
If he could, he would rather set a fire and burn it than leave it to outsiders.
Thinking of this, the emperor beckoned to his henchmen.
"Your Majesty!"
The chamberlain leaned over with an indescribable caution in his expression.
His Majesty the current Emperor has been tortured by his enemies, and only a skeleton remains, and there is no flesh left on his face.
His vitality is like a lantern in the wind, as if it will be extinguished in the next second.
But it kept on.
There are still some of his subordinates who have always obeyed the emperor's words.
In the palace, he is still the biggest.
The chamberlains were all like little quails, and they didn't dare to fight him.
