Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Change Hands Chapter 12 The King of Jinling Gloomily Received 13
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, urged him to step forward, drew his knife and pointed at this person, and shouted: "Who are you, dare to block King Yan's car, don't you want to live?" ”
The man bowed his hand and said, "Edit Yang Qi in Xia Hanlin." ”
Yan King Zhu Di heard that he was a Hanlin editor, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered Zhu Gaoxu to retreat, and said with a slightly softened expression: "Yang Hanlin, what do you want to stop this king?" ”
Yang Qi bowed again: "Weichen is not talented, dare to ask His Royal Highness King Yan, this time I came to Linghu first, and then ascended the throne first?" ”
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was suddenly awakened by his question, and blurted out: "Lone is naturally the first to sacrifice the tomb." ”
At this moment, if he ascends the throne first, and does not worship the tomb first, he seems to be eager to seize the throne, and he will ignore filial piety, and he will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people and laughed at by all people.
Therefore, Zhu Di hurriedly turned the horse's head, went out of the left gate of Chang'an, and galloped towards Xiaoling along East Chang'an Street.
Before coming to the dismount fang, Zhu Di jumped off the dragon chariot, led a group of civil and military ministers, walked quickly through the Golden Gate, went up the Shinto, almost trotted all the way, came to the palace of enjoyment, facing the god of Emperor Taizu Gao, he cried and worshiped on the ground, the grievances, pain, and pride in the past few years can only be said to the father and emperor under Jiuquan: "The fortune of the former Yuan is declining, the four seas are boiling, the heroes and the strong are rising, and the people are displaced." I was born to take the imperial exam, destroy the heroes, calm the world, and live in peace. Then the emperor examined the feudal descendants, the royal family, and established an unshakable foundation. The land has not been dried, and the traitorous ministers confuse the lord, trying to destroy the kings and endanger the community. I read the emperor's examination to start a business difficult, I can't bear the turmoil in the world, the society overturned, so I Fengtianjing is difficult, to the side of the Qing monarch, after a hundred battles, nine deaths, fortunately the emperor appeared, the ancestors blessed, and even the Beijing teacher. The young master was frightened, did not see my heart, and set himself on fire and abandoned the world. The country can not be without a king for a day, the ministers persuaded in, I think of the virtue of thin, do not dare to steal the throne, so I came here to pay tribute to the emperor, and want to push the kings to have the talent and virtue of the heir to the temple, although I am north, there is no regret. ”
After that, he kowtowed several times in a row.
When King Zhou and others heard it, they hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness is the eldest and has immeasurable merits, and you should succeed to the throne in order to appease the hopes of the subjects of the world." Besides, the destiny of heaven returns, who can resign? ”
After hearing this, King Yan stood up, helped King Zhou and other ministers up, and sighed: "The kings and ministers think that the person who worships the temple is not me. Since I am worn by the hearts of the people, I dare not resign, I follow the crowd. ”
When the ministers heard this, they knelt down again, and the mountain shouted long live.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was surrounded by the ministers, re-ascended the dragon chariot, returned to the palace Fengtian Palace, officially the emperor's throne, in addition to the list of traitorous ministers, amnesty to the world, change the Yuan Yongle, next year for the first year of Yongle.
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di hastily buried the body of his suspected nephew Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, did not enter the emperor's mausoleum, abolished his year name, restored the Hongwu year name, and called the fourth year of Jianwen as the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu. abolished his imperial title, called him Jianwenjun, and did not have a nickname.
At the same time, he abolished the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaokang, the posthumous title of his eldest brother Zhu Biao, who had been dead for many years, and reinstated his title as Prince Yiwen. The two sons of the crown prince Zhu Biao were deposed as concubines, and Zhu Wenkui, the second son of Emperor Jianwen, who was only two years old, was imprisoned in Fengyang.
Even more unlucky is the Empress Dowager Lu, who was originally Zhu Biao's concubine, and Zhu Biao passed away a few years after being straightened. When his son Zhu Yunwen became the emperor and became the queen mother, and within a few days of happiness, his son lost the country and disappeared, and he was demoted from the queen mother to the imperial sister-in-law Princess Yiwen, and brought his youngest son Zhu Yunxi to guard the tomb for Zhu Biao.
Things in the world are really a blessing and a curse.
Zhang Shixing took Zhu Yunwen, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng to escape from Beijing in a hurry, because there were chasing soldiers later, they did not dare to take the main road, and took the remote road, and saw that it was late, so they rested in the depths of a dense forest.
Zhang Shixing didn't dare to make a fire, so he took some water from the mountain stream in the dark, took out the dry food he carried with him, and handed it to Zhu Yunwen with both hands.
Zhu Yunwen ate a few bites, it was really hard to swallow, and he couldn't help crying bitterly, in one day, the world was so different that it was difficult for anyone to bear.
Zhang Shixing hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, silence!" With a little patience, when I arrived in Huai'an, there was still something to be done. ”
Zhu Yunwen held back his grief and nodded.
Zhang Shixing let go of his hand at this time.
Zhang Shixing said to everyone: "There are still hundreds of miles away from Huai'an Mansion, and there are Yan soldiers guarding everywhere we pass, in order to ensure the safety of Your Majesty, we must move forward under a pseudonym, and we can no longer be commensurate with monarchs and ministers." ”
Zhu Yunwen nodded, at this moment, out of the capital and leaving the throne, he is Longyou Shoal, useless, so he has to let Zhang Shixing arrange it.
Zhu Yunwen first said: "I have three degrees here, and I have already shaved them, so let's call that empty smell, so as to respond to my words." ”
Qi Tai thought for a while and said, "I won't shave my face, and it's not convenient to go out to do errands, so I'll pretend to be a layman." My name is Zi'an. ”
What he thought was that he would arrive in Huai'an in a few days, and he was still the secretary of the military department, with a bald head, which made people laugh.
Huang Zicheng also had a general idea, so he said: "I am also a layman, named Huang Cheng." ”
Zhang Shixing saw that the two of them didn't care about this matter, and it was no wonder that he was defeated by King Yan, so he sighed secretly, but he couldn't, so he said: "Then I will be a lay disciple of Master Kongwen, and I will call Zhang Si, serve on the master's side, and follow him to travel all over the world and visit famous mountains." ”
Zhu Yunwen clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this is very good." ”
When everyone heard this, they were amused and sad.
Early the next morning, Zhang Shixing helped Zhu Yunwen onto the horse, but the red horse roared and kicked wildly, trying to throw Zhu Yunwen off the horse. Seeing this, Qi Tai said to Zhang Shixing: "Little Four, it must be that this horse cameled the two of you yesterday, and I feel too tired, and I refuse to let Master Kongwen get on the horse today." ”
Zhang Shixing thought for a while and said, "Brother Qi, it's polite. After that, Zhu Yunwen was hugged to Qi Tai's white horse, so Qi Tai and Zhu Yunwen rode a horse together, Zhang Shixing opened the road in front, led Qi and Huang Erqi, and continued to go north on the mountain road.
When he was walking, he met a woodcutter on the road, Zhang Shixing grabbed the reins, and bowed his hand and said, "Dare to ask this old brother, how to go to Gaozi Town?" ”
The woodcutter looked him up and down, and without saying a word, he was about to leave.
Zhu Yunwen took a sachet from his body, handed it to the woodcutter, and said, "Please ask my brother for guidance, the little monk is grateful." ”
The woodcutter saw that this sachet brocade was made, embroidered with gold thread, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, which was very exquisite, and he was overjoyed at first sight, and couldn't help but rub it for a long time.
Qi Tai urged on the side: "Brother, you have accepted other people's things, why don't you still show the way?" ”
The woodcutter pointed forward and said, "If you follow this road for more than ten miles, it will be a big road, and if you go to the left, you will go to Gaozi Town, and if you go to the right, you will go to the direction of Zhenjiang." ”
Qi Tai thanked him, and the woodcutter took the sachet and sang the mountain song, and went happily.
Huang Zicheng sighed and said: "It's really the world that is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. Ask for a question, and ask for something. ”
Zhang Shixing said to Zhu Yunwen Zhengse: "Master, you have become a monk, and you must not bring worldly things with you, so as not to expose your hiding." ”
Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly: "As a teacher, I have nothing to grow except for this sachet." ”
Zhang Shixing waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's hurry up, the land of right and wrong, don't stay for a long time." ”
With that, he waved his whip and led the way at a gallop. Qi and Huang followed closely behind.
After running for about five or six miles, Qi Tai's horse was so tired that he was panting and foaming at the mouth, and he shouted: "Zhang Si, go slowly, my horse has two camels, and I can't run so fast." ”
Zhang Shixing leaned down and gently stroked the mane of his red horse, whispered a few words to it, and then took Zhu Yunwen over.
Suddenly, at this time, the dust on the mountain road behind was heavy, and a team of Yan cavalry chased after him, and the leader was the commander Huo Zhen, who shouted as he ran: "Children, chase me quickly, don't let go of the one who rides the white horse, and there will be a reward for chasing after him." ”
Zhang Shixing and the others were shocked when they heard this, thinking that it must be the woodcutter who took the sachet and was discovered by the Yan army patrolling the mountain, revealing Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, which provoked them to chase after them. Zhang Shixing and the others quickly ran forward, and after a while, they came to the road, Zhang Shixing turned left, Huang Zicheng followed behind, and Qi Tai turned to the right.
Zhang Shixing hurriedly shouted: "Qi Shangshu, it's wrong, turn left." ”
Na Qitai waved his hand at him and smiled sadly: "That's right, I'm on the right path. After that, he ran in the direction of Zhenjiang without looking back.
Zhang Shixing was about to chase after him, but Huang Zicheng pushed him and said, "Let's go, Qi Shangshu has what he wants." ”
The two of them ran in the direction of Gaozi Town.
The Yan army came to the main road, saw Qi Tai's back, and really gave up Zhang Shixing and others, and chased in the direction of Qi Tai.
Zhang Shixing and Huang Zicheng ran out of more than 20 miles, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind them, and the Yan army chased after them again, presumably they had already captured Qi Tai, but they didn't find Zhu Yunwen, so they chased down again.
At this critical juncture, a group of villagers appeared on the road, with red scarves tied to their heads, armed with sticks, knives and forks, hoes and sickles, and walked towards Zhang Shixing and others.
When they came closer, Zhang Shixing fixed his eyes and saw that the person in the middle, although he was holding a steel fork, was polite and polite, wearing a long robe, and seemed to be a scholar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Huang Zicheng, who was behind Zhang Shixing, recognized this person and said happily: "Huang Hanlin, why are you here?" ”
This person is Huang Zhan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.
Huang Zhan looked up and saw that it was Huang Zicheng, who was also very happy to meet his old acquaintance in another country, and replied: "I was ordered by His Majesty to go to Hangzhou to recruit troops, and recruited some villagers along the way. I don't know what kind of business trip Huang Taiqing has? ”
Huang Zicheng sighed and said: "The Jingshi has fallen, I am running now, and there are pursuers behind, you can help me resist it." ”
Huang Zhan was shocked and asked, "Then where is Your Majesty?" ”
Huang Zicheng glanced at Zhu Yunwen, and Zhang Shixing immediately shook his head at him.
Huang Zicheng said: "I will talk about this matter later. You go and stop the pursuers first. ”
Huang Zhan nodded, waved the steel fork in his hand and said, "Fellow villagers, serving the country is at this time." ”
With that, he took the lead and rushed towards the Yan army.
Although the Yan army was fierce, there were not many of them, and they were entangled by Xiang Yong, and they couldn't get out for a while.
Zhang Shixing and Huang Zicheng hurriedly rushed forward.
