Chapter 199: Meeting
A deep and inaccessible house in Yutian Lane, Nanjing, finally ushered in urgent footsteps.
The courtyard was only square in size, and there was only one broken bed in the room, and on the bed was an old lady with white hair, covered with a broken quilt, shivering with cold. Her eyes had already given birth to two thick layers of white puffs, but there were tears flowing down the whiteness: "Bodhisattva, great compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, let me see my son again before I die...... I don't want anything more, let me see him again!"
She is the empress dowager of the previous dynasty, the biological mother of Emperor Jianwen, and the princess of Yiwen, Lu Shi. After the success of Jingnan, the emperor not only abolished Jianwen's imperial name, but also abolished the imperial name and temple name of his brother Zhu Biao, who had passed away long ago, in order to declare his orthodox status. When the Lu family was on fire in the palace, she did not escape, she was placed by Zhu Di in the cemetery of Prince Yiwen, and she was accompanied by her young son. However, one day in the third year of Yongle, a strange fire almost burned down the cemetery, and her young son also died in the fire.
This fire is said to have been accidentally lost by a eunuch, but there is no need to doubt who the mastermind is. After the fire, Empress Dowager Lu was discouraged, and Zhu Di moved her out of the cemetery and placed her in a small mansion in Nanjing, but this mansion was heavily guarded. The old lady just didn't have those two layers of white eyes, and she was also blind, because she cried every day and blinded her eyes.
The old lady was delirious, crying and laughing for a while, as if she saw her husband, son and grandson coming towards her again, and she stretched out her hand to meet them, but suddenly her hand was caught: "Queen Mother!"
The old lady held her hand, but she didn't react, she was still whimpering: "Yun Wei, I finally waited for you, didn't you, you finally came to see me, you look at me, I have nothing to hate, I can go to Jiuquan with peace of mind......"
She suddenly stopped crying, because she felt that the hand holding her was warm, not a ghost, but someone really came to see him! The old lady was stunned for a while, and muttered, "Who are you? Who are you?" She suddenly grabbed the hands, and touched them, from his shoulders to his face: "Ah...... You are!"
The man kneeling under the bed had already cried into tears: "Queen Mother, I am Yun Wen, Yun Wei is not dead, Yun Wei is not dead!"
The old lady's eyes widened, as if she was stunned, and touched the man's face over and over again: "Yun Wei?
"I'm Yun Wen," Emperor Jianwen, who had become a monk, hugged his mother and cried: "Yun Wei is not filial, let his mother suffer! Eighteen years, Yun Wen can finally come to see you!"
"Are you Yun Wei?" the old lady seemed to only say this, she was still carefully touching the face of the person in front of her, but there was not much excitement and joy on her spotted face: "No, you are not, you are not Yun Wei, my Yun Wei is dead, you were sent by Zhu Di to coax me, what else does he want? I only have a handful of old bones that are about to die, and he won't let me go, so take my life!"
"I'm Yun Wei!" Zhu Yun Wei broke his liver and intestines, he took his mother's hand and asked her to touch her head: "I'm not fake, you touch it, I have a scar on my head!"
Zhu Yunwen has a scar like a thin line on his head, which is a scar left by the kite string when he was a child, because the scar is hidden in his hair, except for his biological mother Lu Shi, even the people who serve around him do not know.
Lu Shi trembled and touched the filament-like scar, and finally was convinced: "My son, you have finally come to see me!"
The mother and son hugged each other and cried, tearing their hearts and lungs, and they could hardly help themselves. Lu Shi touched his bald head and said, "My son, why did you shave your hair?
Zhu Yunwen endured his grief: "The child was rescued by loyal ministers, and he became a monk with the degree left by the emperor's grandfather to the child, and he has been displaced in the rivers and lakes for eighteen years, and there is no day when he does not miss his mother!"
Empress Dowager Lu listened to him become a monk, tossing and turning, at first she still had the idea of recovering the country, but then she saw that the loyal ministers were broken for him, and even even his relatives, he gradually cooled down the mind of restoration, and no longer wanted to regain his strength, this time back to Nanjing, he just wanted to pick up his mother, but the loyal ministers who followed him, but hoped to regain control of the world - Lu Shi said with tears when he heard this: "The Bodhisattva blesses my mother and son to be reunited in this life, everything is the destiny of heaven, and I can't force it, as long as you are safe, my mother's hope has not been broken." ”
"Queen Mother," Zhu Yun wiped his tears: "He went to Beiping, the capital is empty, and the child can come to pick you up." If you leave Nanjing with your child, we will never come back!"
"Okay, good ......" Lu Shi burst into tears again, she fished out a palm-sized wooden plaque from under the pillow and held it in her arms: "I have been secretly hiding your father's tablet...... We're a family, we can finally be together......"
At this time, outside the house, Ying Yangwei commanded Meng Xian to hear the sound of mother and son hugging each other and crying loudly, and also pretended to wipe his tears: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, it is really touching." ”
Zheng Shiyi, who was dressed as an eagle guard, was always vigilant, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is mourning, now that the major events have been completed, the family is reunited, and soon the emperor can reign over the world and kill the traitors, please be patient now, please let the Queen Mother go with the ministers!"
Lu Shi said: "What other plans do you have?"
Zhu Yunwen sighed: "In the past eighteen years, I have no fighting spirit, I just want to come back after picking up my mother." But these people who followed the child, they still had a lot of blood, full of national hatred and family hatred that were deeper than mine, and vowed to break Zhu Di's body into pieces...... I can't persuade them anymore, and I don't know their plans this time. ”
Emperor Jianwen was weak by nature, and after seeing the inhumane Zhulian and the killing, he was frightened, and the bloody storm was not temporary, but continued to this day. He just wants to live incognito from now on, and don't bring disaster to his loyal courtiers, but these people have fallen into more paranoid hatred, they don't want to survive at all, but want to repay Zhu Di with a bang for twenty years of pain.
Zhu Yunwen didn't know how they got in touch with the White Lotus Sect, nor did he know how they rebelled against Ying Yangwei to command Meng Xian, nor did he know what the situation was when they were secretly discussing the two capitals at the same time, he was like a monarch who had been kidnapped by his courtiers, but he knew that this was the motivation for them to live, and he couldn't dash this last hope.
"This time, Commander Meng understands the righteousness," Zheng Shiyi said: "It is really a great favor to help us do something, and Your Majesty will definitely remember your merits." ”
Meng Xian, the commander of the Eagle Yangwei, has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which seems to be a small number of people, but it is the only army left in Nanjing, and the other three battalions, including Jingwei, all followed Zhu Di to Beijing, and the Eagle Yangwei stayed in Nanjing because he was supervising the resident craftsmen of the glazed tower, and Meng Xian had already colluded with them, and there was no one in Nanjing who could stop this army!
"The minister is not for the sake of rewarding, the minister is not used to the traitor Zhu Di, usurping the throne and stealing the country," Meng Xian said solemnly: "Cruel and unkind, the act of killing everything! It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come! Now that Your Majesty is back in Dabao, the time and place are favorable, and Meng Xian is just conforming to the people's hearts!"
Zheng Shixian analyzed the situation for the mother and son in the house: "On this day, we have been planning for too long! Not only Nanjing, but also Beijing, Jiangxi, Shandong, and Yunnan, there will be people raising troops to respond! There are also several vassal kings, who have already promised to help Your Majesty restore the throne, and will also raise the banner to welcome Your Majesty, and half of the country is under control!" Over the years, the swallow thief has usurped the throne, acted perversely, worked the people and lost money, and the Northern Expedition and the Western Ocean have long overwhelmed the people of the world, and they are resentful, Your Majesty has won this battle!"
