Chapter 192: Shocking News (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
How cold is the coldest time of the Xiaoice River period?
Zhu Mingzhong doesn't know, but one thing is for sure, after three and a half centuries, there will never be any peach blossom snow in Nanjing's March, and there will be such a large amount of peach blossom snow.
Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, Zhu Mingzhong's expression looked quite solemn. Zhang Huangyan's words were still tumbling in his mind.
Actually, Chengren also knows. Looking at today, those who can be worthy of Chengren's identity, except for Yanping Ninth Sister, I am afraid there is no other choice! ”
A simple sentence clearly shows a reality, Zhu Mingzhong's marriage must take into account interests! Although before that, he had hardly considered marriage.
But now, as soon as Zhang Huangyan said this, Zhu Mingzhong had to think about it.
"If Chengren marries the ninth sister, it will not only bridge the relationship between Chengren and Yanping......"
In the face of these reasons, Zhu Mingzhong seems to have no reason to refuse, of course, he did not refuse, the male university is married, in this era, he naturally does not imagine any "free love". In the past less than a year, he has fully adapted to this era, like a few concubines in the family.
Now, marriage is also an adaptation.
"Looks like she's not bad either!"
The woman who came to mind because of his life-saving grace naturally thought of the sassy and heroic appearance of the cuirass she was wearing when she first saw her, although her appearance was not as enchanting as the Xia family sisters, but she was also beautiful and lovely, and according to the standards of later generations, she was also an eight-point beauty. And he also has a good impression of Zheng Ling.
"And the family background is also very good!"
The benefits of marrying the Zheng family are something that Zhu Mingzhong cannot ignore. It is precisely because of this that he did not refuse. Just when Zhu Mingzhong was thinking about it, the footsteps behind him made him turn around, and after seeing who was coming, he smiled slightly.
"Four stones, you're here!"
It was Jun Zheng Cheng Shi Lei of the Military Righteous Division, who was not only the Jun Zhengcheng of the Loyal and Righteous Army, but also the intelligence director of the Loyal and Righteous Army.
"After a while, you have decided to marry Miss Zheng Jiajiu?"
Nodding, Zhu Mingzhong noticed that Shi Lei's expression was a little hesitant, so he asked.
"Four stones, but what do you have to say?"
Looking directly at Shi Lei, Zhu Mingzhong asked.
In the face of Jing Liu's inquiry, Shi Lei seemed a little hesitant, but thinking of that incident, he pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I know that the last general was born in Jinyiwei."
Zhu Mingzhong nodded, this is also the reason why Shi Lei is in charge of intelligence, and he does have his own set of methods for intelligence work, plus some occasional reminders, now the military department has established an intelligence network in Beijing and Nanjing.
"Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal guard, so when Jiashen Tianchang, Jinyiwei was ordered to guard the city gate. Most of them were dead while defending the city......"
Shi Lei's voice was not loud, and he even mentioned his work, when he was in Jinyi Weizhong, he had traveled to Shanxi, Henan and other places many times to investigate the intelligence of the rioters.
At that time, the general of Changping, the general of Huairou, and the general of Daxing had rebelled, and was leading troops from the north, south, and east, and the capital will be surrounded, and the last general entered the city and arrived at the Zhenfu Division, when he saw Luo Dudu, because the last general had collected intelligence in the thief camp and knew the thief very well, so Luo Dudu had ordered the general to find a safe way to protect the emperor out of the city. Probably to escort the emperor to Nanjing......"
Shi Lei's words made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, he really didn't expect that Shi Lei would actually bear such a task back then, and even for a moment, he thought that if Shi Lei successfully escorted Chongzhen and others to Nanjing, would the history of Nanming be fundamentally changed?
Why didn't it happen?
However, Zhu Mingzhong did not open his mouth to interrupt him, but just listened to him continue.
"Later, the last general took Luo Dudu's token into the palace, and after entering the palace, the palace was already in chaos, and the last general finally knew the whereabouts of the emperor from the palace maid and the eunuch......
Although Shi Lei's tone seemed calm, Zhu Mingzhong still noticed the pain suppressed in his tone when he mentioned all this.
"Later, when the last general found the emperor, the emperor had hanged himself on the coal mountain at that time, and next to the emperor was the prince and the prince......"
When mentioning the old things of the year, Shi Lei's expression was a little depressed.
"For so many years, the last general has been thinking that if it was back then, the last general would have been able to enter the palace a few hours earlier, and maybe the world would not be like this......"
Looking at Shi Lei, who had a desolate face, Zhu Mingzhong never thought that he would actually take on such a mission, originally he might have the opportunity to take Chongzhen out of the capital, but ...... History did not give him a chance.
"Four stones, the past is gone, the one who mistook the emperor back then was definitely not the four stones, but the ministers of the court, if it was ......"
With a long sigh, Zhu Mingzhong couldn't help but have some questions in his heart, if Chongzhen had fled to Nanjing back then, what would it look like? Could the Ming Dynasty at least be able to rule the Manchu Qing Dynasty and maintain the country's fortunes for hundreds of years, as some people assume? Obviously, it is unlikely, because after all, Chongzhen only has one name left, even if he goes to Nanjing, he has no military power in his hands, how can he maintain the authority of the central government?
The authority of the central government is maintained by military power, and what is in Chongzhen's hands?
Perhaps, it is precisely because he understands this that Chongzhen chose to commit suicide and martyrdom!
When he was secretly pondering in his heart, he only listened to Shi Lei continue.
"Later, the last general left the capital and finally settled in Jiangnan ......"
Looking at Jing Liu, Shi Lei hesitated and explained the reason why he told these stories.
"When he was in the palace at that time, the last general found that although Princess Zhaoren was stabbed in the chest, she still had some breath, so the last general decided to take her with him to catch up with the emperor. But the princess told me not to let her father see that she was alive......"
Princess Akihito?
Shi Lei's words made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, no, if I am not mistaken, isn't the living Princess Changping? Even in Wei Xiaobao, there is the princess of Changping.
Who is this Princess Zhaoren?
“…… Later, the last general and Princess Zhaoren hid in a hut in the city that died of the plague, when Princess Zhaoren was pierced in the chest by the first emperor, during which she almost lost her life several times, until she heard all the cannons stopped, and then came out of the room, inquired about the whereabouts of other people, and looked around for doctors. Later, the Qing prisoners entered the customs, and the thieves escaped from the capital, and then I also met some colleagues, some of them entered the Luan Yiwei of the Qing Emperor, and some of them became vendors selling along the street for their livelihoods, most of them did not know the last general, and even if they knew, they did not greet the last general......"
Listening to Shi Lei's narration, behind this seemingly simple story, I don't know how bitter it is...... No, suddenly, Zhu Mingzhong realized the hidden message in Shi Lei's words.
"Although the last general did not burn himself as awe-inspiring as the commander of Wang Guoxing, nor did he guard the Chongwen Gate and Xuanwu Gate like the commander Li Ruolian and Wang Wencai of the Thousand Households and died, but the last general finally preserved a trace of blood for the first emperor!"
What the!
Shi Lei's words instantly confirmed his previous thoughts, but even so, Zhu Mingzhong still asked repeatedly.
"Sishi, are you saying that the first emperor still has a bloodline in the world?"
The reason why Zhu Mingzhong was so surprised was because apart from the person he was looking for, he never thought that Chongzhen still had children living in the world.
"Princess Akihito......"
Suddenly, Shi Zhao's figure appeared in Zhu Mingzhong's mind, and he stared at Shi Lei and asked,
Shi Zhao ...... She's Princess Akihito! ”
Staring at Shi Lei in front of him, Zhu Mingzhong asked rhetorically, Shi Zhao, Shi Zhao...... Shi Zhao's appearance appeared in her mind, no wonder there was always a little melancholy between her eyebrows.
"Yes, Jinglu!"
Finally, after telling this secret, Shi Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, this secret had been buried in his heart for more than ten years, and now after finally telling all this, his whole person was relaxed and relieved.
Then, he was there quietly watching the scripture.
Shi Zhao is Princess Zhaoren!
It's Chongzhen's daughter!
So, Who is that Akihito who was killed?
There was almost no need to think about it, Zhu Mingzhong could guess who that Zhaoren was, and for Shi Lei, he naturally had a way to deal with all this. Naturally, everyone in the world will think that Zhaoren died in the palace, under the sword of the first emperor, and even, if he could save Chongzhen back then, it may also make Li Chuang and others think that he was dead, and then take him to flee to the south.
In the past, Zhu Mingzhong, who didn't know the news, only thought she was Shi Zhao, but now ...... She is Zhaoren, staring at Shi Lei, Zhu Mingzhong asked in a deep voice.
"Four stones, what do you want me to do? It's to write about this matter, but you must know that if this matter is discovered by others, it is very likely that she will be used by impure people! ”
Faced with the problem of Jing Liu, Shi Lei knew that he was right, after such a long period of contact, he knew that the Jing Strategy in front of him was different from others, at least, he would never use a weak woman as a tool. He disdained a slight sense of pride, and it was this pride that made him so different from the rest.
"After the strategy, the end will be ......"
After a moment of silence, Shi Lei said.
"The last general, please be the master!"
When Shi Lei kicked the ball over, facing the ball, Zhu Mingzhong sighed helplessly.
What is this......
Now what?
Facing this ball, Zhu Mingzhong's whole person couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and he even thought of another thing in his mind, something that he had told others to plan for a long time, and he had always hidden it from Shi Lei.
Now it seems that it is undoubtedly right to hide from him!
