Chapter 106: The Emperor's End Has Come
"How are the Yun Clan's people?"
The emperor took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, probably because the tea was too hot, so he nuzzled his mouth.
Listening to the emperor's greeting to Yun Niang, Han Lingshan arched his hand and said, "The people are well." ”
The emperor pointed to the tea bowl and said: "The soldiers are in chaos, and only the Anren still remember whether I have tea to drink, go back and tell the Anren that the tea produced in Lantian is good, and she wants to give the name, and I have thought about it, so I will call it - Begonia Spring." ”
Han Lingshan arched his hand again and said, "The last general has written it down." ”
When the emperor saw that Han Lingshan was very respectful, he loosened his tense body and sighed, "Yun Zhao asked you to come to see my jokes? ”
Han Lingshan shook his head and said, "The master of Lantian is heartbroken when he sees the world collapse. ”
The emperor nodded and said: "This should be true, after all, Yun Zhao is still good to the people, but it is not very good for me, for many years, I have been expecting Yun Zhao to enter Beijing to pay homage to me, and then peace the world."
We worked together to make Daming Zhongxing, I waited for fifteen years, and he didn't come after all. ”
Han Lingshan frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty has been completely decayed, and there is no way to save it, even if Yun Zhao has the ability to save the sky, he can only save the Ming Dynasty for a while, and there is no way to save the Ming Dynasty." ”
Chongzhen smiled: "Isn't it the disadvantages of the royal family, the world, the party strife, the corrupt officials, the cowardly generals, and the annexation of land?" He Yunzhao can even deal with natural disasters, why can't he deal with these drawbacks?
If the royal family is not inspected, the name is removed, the family does not obey, the butcher's knife can be cured, the party strife is wrong for the country, the famous people can be governed, the corrupt officials are corrupt, the punishment is harsh, the law can be cured, the cowardly generals are cowardly, the military discipline is strict, and the rewards and feudal marquis can be cured.
You see, I understand everything, but I don't have a single talent around me, so I have to tolerate it...... has endured for seventeen years, and has also endured the good country left by his ancestors in vain. ”
Han Lingshan looked at the somewhat perverted emperor and said in surprise: "Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, these people can be called unparalleled in the country, Your Majesty did not use them well." ”
Chongzhen said with some sadness: "I didn't understand until after they died......
Han Lingshan had nothing to say, so he could only watch the emperor silently.
"It is only then that the dead are shown to be loyal, and this is the last thing I can be sure of."
Han Lingshan looked at Chongzhen's eyes wide and said, "Can't you confirm that they are loyal ministers while they are alive?" ”
Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Before the coffin is closed, I have no way to determine the loyalty and traitor...... By the way, how did Yun Zhao determine the loyalty? Cao Huachun once thought of a lot of ways and contacted many Lantian officials, whether it was a high-ranking official or a wealthy beauty, he couldn't let them betray Lantian, how did he win people's hearts? ”
Han Lingshan frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "It seems that there is no special method, he just bought a group of poor children who were about to starve to death, and then found them the best teachers in the world, and when they grow up, they can be called donkeys." ”
Chongzhen nodded and said: "So that's the case, no wonder Cao Huachun can plot against Li Yan, against King Gai, against Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong has many people, only Lantian has the most effort, but he has no gain." ”
Han Lingshan had practiced countless times what he would look like when he saw Chongzhen, but he really didn't expect the emperor in front of him who was talking endlessly.
Li Hongji's army should have entered the city at this time, but the emperor had the leisure to chat with him.
It's also weird.
So, he set his sights on Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen stood on the side with a smile and a dust, looking at his emperor dotingly.
Seeing that Han Lingshan was looking at himself, he folded his hands together as a salute and asked Han Lingshan to take care of him more.
Sure enough, when Han Lingshan looked at the emperor intently, he found that his gaze was dull when he spoke.
"General Han, everyone says that Lantian is a paradise on earth, everyone can be fed, clothed, and clothed, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, is this really the case?"
Seeing the emperor excitedly asking, a sour meaning rushed up Han Lingshan's nose, he forcibly held back the tears that were about to flow, and said with a smile: "Every year at this time, the Yushan Snow Summit reveals a beautiful scenery that is rare to see.
The top of the mountain is covered with snow, the mountainside is green and mountainside, there are scholars strolling on the mountain paths, chanting, there are scholars jumping between the mountains, there are ladies holding umbrellas to play at the bottom of the mountain, there are farmers sowing seeds in the fields and working, and there are merchants carrying burdens to hurry......
In the spring, the snow melts, the mountains flow murmuring, and the earth is gradually dressed in green......
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looked up at the gorgeous algae roof of the Qianqing Palace, and after a moment, he said faintly: "I really want to go and see it...... But no, I can't leave the capital, Sheji will be gone, and I will stay here......"
Just when Han Lingshan was about to hear the words and admonish the emperor, Chongzhen seemed to wake up in a dream, and his eyes that looked extremely big because of his emaciation suddenly stared at Han Lingshan viciously, and roared: "I want to kill you thief!" ”
Immediately, from behind the table, he took out a three-eyed firebolt, aimed it at Han Lingshan, and fired.
Han Lingshan was still standing in place, Emperor Chongzhen's three-eyed firearm did not explode, three shots were fired in a row, and the firearm did not move, Chongzhen couldn't help but be in a hurry, and shouted again and again, "Escort, escort." Then the first one ran out the back door with a three-eyed firebolt.
Naturally, the three-eyed fire gun that didn't ignite the fuse couldn't be fired......
A group of eunuchs followed.
Wang Chengen stopped and invited Han Lingshan to sit down and drink tea.
"Your Majesty is rarely sober."
Han Lingshan sat on the chair and said, "Is he actually crazy?" ”
Wang Chengen arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty doesn't want to admit the reality that Daming is about to die, so it has become like this." ”
Han Lingshan said: "Out of respect for the Ming Emperor, my lord Yunzhao has promised to accept the direct royal family of the Ming Dynasty to take refuge in my Lantian area, and promised to allocate a certain amount of money and grain from the treasury to raise the orphans left by the Ming Emperor, as well as the palace concubines.
He also said that he would give these people a certain amount of respect and courtesy.
What, then, does my Lord need? ”
Wang Chengen nodded, took out an edict from his sleeve and put it on the table, Han Lingshan opened it and read it carefully, then looked up and said, "Are you sure this is His Majesty's handwriting?" ”
Wang Chengen smiled bitterly: "It was the old man who asked His Majesty to write it himself when he was ignorant, so every word is written by His Majesty." ”
Han Lingshan nodded and said, "It's so good, it's just that this edict is not enough!" ”
Wang Chengen said: "General Han is talking about Baoxi? ”
Han Lingshan said: "This is exactly what it is. ”
Wang Chengen laughed and said, "The jade seal is a thing that has fallen to the country. The Qin Dynasty had the Jade Seal II and died, Ziying presented the Jade Seal to Liu Bang, and Ziying was killed by Xiang Yu. Needless to say other dynasties, although the Yuan Dynasty had jade seals, they also died in the desert.
Therefore, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty didn't look down on the jade seal, 'Said: Lao Tzu has beaten down the whole world, and he still cares about the small seal? ’
Then he ordered a skilled craftsman to carve seventeen seals for him.
The eldest of them is called 'the treasure of the emperor's worship', 'the treasure of the emperor', the 'treasure of the emperor', the treasure of the son of heaven, the treasure of the son of heaven, the treasure of the emperor', the treasure of the emperor's order, the treasure of the emperor's family, the treasure of respecting the heavens and the people.
There are also 'the treasure of the imperial front', 'the treasure of the seal of the scriptures and history' and the 'seal of the Qinwen', and the 'Dan Fu out of the Quartet'.
The general should understand the hardships of Taizu for carving the seventeen jade seals. ”
Han Lingshan said: "Once there are too many things, they will be worthless, but the original seal that was taken away by Meng Yuan is now also missing, and it is in the hands of Jiannu."
In time, this seal will return. ”
Wang Chengen said: "The role of the Ming Dynasty in diluting the seal, you Lantian began to pay attention to these objects again?" ”
Han Lingshan said: "Lantian pays attention to inheritance, Yun Zhao said: As long as it is my Huaxia, it is ours and will be the world, but it belongs to us after all." ”
Wang Chengen looked at Han Lingshan and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Han Lingshan said: "It means that Huaxia is ours, and the world will eventually belong to us in the name of Huaxia." ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard several violent cannon shots.
Listen to the sound, it's actually in the city.
Wang Chengen didn't show a panicked appearance, got up and brought a big box and put it in front of Han Lingshan and said, "This is the seventeen national seals that the general wants." ”
Han Lingshan opened the box, took out the imprints he had prepared, compared them with these national seals one by one, and after half an hour, he said: "Very good, there is no shortage of the same." ”
After speaking, he carried the not very large box on his back and followed in the direction of the emperor's departure.
The emperor didn't go far, just stayed on the tower of Chengtianmen and anxiously watched the capital that had become a mess.
After Han Lingshan walked up to the Chengtianmen Tower with a box and a long knife on his back, he didn't bother the anxious ant-like emperor, but quietly leaned on an unobtrusive corner and looked at him.
Wang Chengen didn't break it, but followed the emperor to the east for a while, and then to the west.
A day passed in anxiety.
March 18 of the year of Jiashen!
The worst news has finally arrived.
Li Jiantai, a scholar, surrendered, and Wu Xiang, the governor of Beijing, surrendered.
The eunuch Wang Xiangyao opened Desheng and Fucheng two gates.
Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, opened the Xuanwu Gate.
Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen opened the Chaoyang Gate.
Baoguo Gong Zhu Guobi opened Guang'an Gate.
A group of "traitors" opened the door of Desheng......
The desperate Mu Tiantao led the 8,000 soldiers of the headquarters, and after opening the Zhengyang Gate, he entered the dense army of thieves who could not see the roots......
The emperor carried the three-eyed fire gun and walked quickly through the palace.
The eunuch Zhang Yin persuaded the emperor to surrender, but was killed by the emperor who had learned to use a firecracker.
When he came to the queen's residence, but he didn't find the queen, and when he came to the residence of the concubines, the concubines were nowhere to be found, and even the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhang was empty.
The emperor, who could not find his three sons, was furious and fired two shots at the top of the Qianqing Palace...... After discarding the firecracker, he took dozens of eunuchs and rode straight to Chaoyangmen.
Just after leaving the palace, he encountered a large number of thieves and had to return to the palace.
