As soon as winter passes, the smoke rises again. In May, bad news came from the front line, Taiyuan was lost, the rebel generalissimo Feng Xiao died on the battlefield, and the 100,000 troops of Yan State pressed the border, only 800 miles away from Beijing.

The court and the middle of the country were in a mess overnight, and the Duke of Yasukuni and Zhongyong Bo led a group of ministers to kneel outside the Tai'an Palace and begged Emperor Chongzhen to take refuge in the Luoyang Palace, but Emperor Chongzhen ignored the dissuasion and insisted on staying in Anling.

Everyone had no choice but to go to Si Tianjian to ask Yu Shu to lobby.

"The Yan thief was about to attack Beijing, but the saint refused to leave to avoid trouble. Yu Da mentioned, the Holy One can listen to your words the most, if you don't admonish at this time, when will you stay? ”

In the Taixi Building, Yu Shu sat firmly on her unicorn chair, looking coldly at a few old ministers who were used to opposing her on weekdays and coerced her softly.

"What do the elders want me to advise?" She said unhurriedly: "Do you persuade the saint to abandon Kyoto, give up the three-hundred-year-old inheritance of Da'an to the traitor, and become the king of the dead country that has been stinking for thousands of years?" ”

Saying that, her face sank suddenly, and she got up and said: "The country is about to die, and you shouldn't guard the mountains and rivers, but you want to flee with wolves?" Thinking of the Holy Ancestor Emperor in the past, how could he have thought that his descendants would be the dogs who lost their families? ”

"Yu Lianfang, you are presumptuous!" Zhongyong Bo Ruiang angrily pointed at her and scolded: "The old man blames the Dao Shengshang, why did he insist on staying in Beijing and not leaving, it was you who were behind your back!" What are your intentions? ”

Concubine Rui Shu has been unfavored in the harem all these years, she has never given birth to a son and a half daughter, and even the emperor does not want to see the Earl of Zhongyong, but Empress Xiajiang, who is supported by Si Tianjian, is constantly favored, and Rui Ang and Yu Shu are political enemies. blamed her for this, and now she has no scruples, and she doesn't need to be polite when she speaks.

Then the Yasukuni Gong said with a sigh: "The national crisis is at the head, the overall situation is important, and it is useless to mention that it is useless to mention that the saint would rather stay in the capital?" After listening to the old man's advice, we entered the palace together to persuade the saint to temporarily leave Beijing to avoid trouble, keep the green mountains, and not worry about no firewood. ”

Yu Shu snorted coldly: "If you persuade the saint to leave, can you run for your life openly?" There is no need to talk nonsense, the saint must guard the tomb of An. For the courtiers, let them lay down their lives to accompany them. As for you who are greedy for life and afraid of death, ask yourselves for many blessings! ”

After speaking, she waved her sleeves and turned her back to see off the guests. A group of people were so angry with her that their faces were red and their necks were thick. But seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt. I had no choice but to leave.

Yu Shu sat quietly for a moment. Climbed to the top floor alone, walked into the mourning hall dedicated to the tablet of Liedai, and took three incense sticks and lit them. Gazing at the last tablet, which was neatly engraved with "Ninth Generation Si Tianjian Da Tiu Zhu Muzhao Divine Position".

"On that day, I swore to live and die with Si Tianjian, and I did what I said. However, the change of dynasty is the destiny of heaven, and there is nothing I can do but follow the way of heaven. I can only promise you that the incense of the Da'an royal family will not be extinguished, and as for whether future generations can hope to revive the mountains and rivers, wait a few years. ”

She bowed three times and offered incense. Then he turned around and went downstairs, and sent someone to prepare a carriage to enter the palace to face the saint. Emperor Chongzhen wants to stay in the capital, she will not do much to dissuade him, that is what he should face as the king of a country, but Xia Jiangmin and the emperor's eldest son Liu Huan must leave as much as possible.

Her law of calamity has been able to deduce hundreds of calamities so far, and "Life and Death" can investigate the causes and consequences, which is not far behind the real thaumaturgy of breaking death. According to her calculations, Xia Jiangmin's mother and son will have a killing disaster within three months, and if they want to save their lives, they must stay away from the capital

Yu Shu entered the palace to persuade him, and Emperor Chongzhen issued an order on the same day to make the two queen mothers of the harem and Empress Xiajiang move to Luoyang Palace for "summer vacation". This news reached the harem, causing a group of concubines and women to panic, for fear that they would be left in the capital to wait for death, and they went to beg the queen mother and the queen to take them away together, and there were very few people who volunteered to stay with them, and Queen Xiajiang was one of them.

"The concubine is unwilling to steal her life, where your majesty is, the concubine is there, born with the same life, and died with the same cave." Empress Xiajiang ran to Emperor Chongzhen to show her heart,

In a word, Liu Tan's eyes turned red, he held Xia Jiangmin's hand, held back his left and right, and said to her: "Minmin, I know that your mind is enough." You heard me say that I can't leave the capital, not just to gamble, as the king of a country, even if I lose my life, I can't lose the country and the society left by my ancestors. If I flee at this time, I will be ridiculed by the world, and I will really become the king of the dead country, I am unwilling, I can't! ”

Xia Jiangmin cried and said: "If Your Majesty wants to stay, stay and the concubine will not leave." ”

Liu Tan shook his head and said in a resolute tone: "You take the emperor away, if something happens to me, you need to raise him well to grow up, and then try to restore the country." ”

Xia Jiangmin shook her head with tears, buried in his chest and cried silently, she and the emperor are a young couple, they have a deep relationship, how can they be separated from each other. How do you know that there will be a day of reunion in this parting? I'm afraid that heaven and man will be separated forever, and people and ghosts will have different paths.

Until she cried until she was tired, Liu Tan did not change her mind, and ruthlessly sent her back to Fengzao Palace, and then drafted a decree to canonize the emperor's eldest son Liu Huan as the crown prince.

,,,,,,

This night, Xia Jiangmin had nightmares one after another, woke up from his dream before dawn, sat up straight in a cold sweat, and called out in a lost voice: "Someone!" Come on! ”

Outside the door, the palace maid ran into the dormitory, lit the lamp and candle, and leaned in front of the bed: "Niangniang, you are a nightmare, the slave maid will pour you tea." ”

Xia Jiangmin was stunned and asked blankly, "What time is it?" "It's halfway through."

She looked out the window and the sky was still not transparent, and said back to her senses: "Quickly send someone out of the palace to ask for a big mention and say that the palace had a nightmare last night and asked her to interpret the dream." ”

"Yes, slave maid, let people invite it."

Seeing that her face was extremely bad, the palace maid didn't dare to ask more, so she hurried away. Xia Jiangmin hugged a thin quilt, recalling the situation in the dream, ten fingers tightened the corners of the quilt, and trembled slightly.

After an hour, after the sun rose, Yu Shu hurried to the harem, Xia Jiangmin freshened up early and waited for her, and when he heard the report from outside, he asked the idle people in the hall to retreat and be alone with Yu Shu.

Yu Shu understood, and as soon as he sat down, he asked her, "Did you dream of a dead person again?" "Few people know that Xia Jiangmin was born with a talent that can foresee the cause of someone's death from dreams, such as her late sister Xia Jiangying, and Xin Liu, who escaped by luck, with a hit rate of almost 100%.

Xia Jiangmin nodded with a pale face, stared at her directly, and said in a dumb voice: "Ah Shu, I dreamed that you died." ”

Yu Shu was startled at first, then frowned, and asked her, "What did you dream about?" ”

Xia Jiangmin recalled, and said in a trance: "I dreamed that the Yan thieves captured the capital, and then captured the emperor, you led people to rescue the driver, but they captured and imprisoned you, and then a man in red stabbed you to death with a sword." ”

Her dream can only describe a rough idea, but she has written down all the key points, such as when Yu Shu was killed and what are the characteristics of the murderer.

Hearing this, Yu Shu lowered his eyes and pondered, and after not saying anything for a long time, Xia Jiangmin pushed her shoulder uneasily, and said, "You have a thaumaturgy to break the death, you might as well calculate it for yourself." ”

Yu Shu sighed lightly: "My death-breaking thaumaturgy requires the birth of the eight characters, but my eight characters were born not in line with my destiny, and it is difficult to calculate." ”

"Ah," Xia Jiangmin was at a loss, grabbed her arm and said: "How should this be, it's better to leave Beijing as much as possible, I'll go and intercede with the emperor and let you take refuge in Luoyang." ”

Yu Shu's eyes flickered, but he didn't waver, and shook his head and refused: "I won't go." ”

Xia Jiangmin burst into tears anxiously, "The emperor is like this, and you are also like this, knowing that staying is a dead end, but he doesn't listen to people's persuasion, what should I do?" ”

Yu Shu pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, pulled her cold palm, and said softly: "Obviously, the emperor doesn't leave, it's because he has the country in his heart, and I don't want to leave because I'm waiting for someone." People live in the world, each has his own destiny, and he can't hide from it, and he can't escape it. ”

Xia Jiangmin couldn't understand her words, and asked with teary eyes: "You are waiting for someone, who are you waiting for?" ”

Yu Shu shook his head and said no more.

Xia Jiangmin knew that he couldn't force her, so he stopped his tears and said abruptly: "If there are no children to tie in, I will definitely stay in the capital and live and die with the emperor, but I am not afraid of death, but I can't ignore the emperor." ”

"That's all you need." Yu Shu looked at her gloomy and sad appearance, and couldn't bear it, so he promised her: "You can go with confidence, as long as I live for one day, I will always try my best to get you together with the emperor." ”

***

In June, half of the huge capital was empty, the city was depressed, most of the common people fled in despair, half of the civil and military officials resigned, and the rest either refused to leave or could not go.

Dayan Iron Cavalry stepped on the north of the river, went straight to the capital, sang all the way, and finally in the middle of summer, the soldiers came to the city.

Emperor Chongzhen went into battle and led 3,000 forbidden troops to the city gate to meet the enemy, but he was deeply encircled. When Yu Shu heard the news, he immediately summoned the five hundred black-clothed guards of Si Tianjian to rescue him. However, it was a step too late, and the Yan army broke through the gate of the capital with lightning speed, and captured Emperor Chongzhen, who was personally conquered by the imperial driver.

As the sun set, the black-clothed guards fought all the way to the foot of the city gate and fell into the enemy formation.

Yu Shu sat stiffly in the carriage and heard a loud shout not far away: "Whoever comes, report your name!" ”

She took a deep breath and replied in a loud voice: "Da'an Chaosi Tianjian is also a big reminder!" ”

Not long after, there was a commotion outside, and she heard someone on the city gate tower respond loudly - "Is it Si Tianjian who is here?" I am Liu Shining, the king of Dayan Changping!"

At this moment, everything was quiet, Yu Shu pushed open the two car doors with trembling hands, looked up, in the twilight, the city gate tower was crowded, but saw a majestic man wearing armor, taking off the crown and looking down at the city, a pair of black eyes through the sea of people, straight to catch her.
