454 Punish evil and promote good
"Mother...... Mother......"
Chen Shaozong's mother didn't know that she had arrived, sitting in the car, although the Jianyu service was also in place, but after all, she was old, the journey was tiring, and when she was squinting, suddenly, she woke up: "My son? ”
For the son's voice, being a mother, it is engraved in the bones. Others may not be able to tell the difference between voices, but Chen Shaozong's mother heard it all at once.
After listening attentively a little, I heard the sound of "mother" shouting "mother" in the hurried sound of horses' hooves, Chen Shaozong's mother was confirmed, and suddenly, she was pleasantly surprised, she really wanted to see her son?
She couldn't wait for the maid who served her in the car to open the curtain, so she took the first step, so she directly lifted the curtain, looked up, and sure enough, she saw that her son, who was engraved in her bones, was galloping on horseback, and had arrived not far away.
"My son......" the old lady could no longer suppress her excitement, and hurriedly shouted.
At the same time, there was only one carriage with a tent in the team, and Chen Shaozong came to this carriage, and he was overjoyed to see his mother appear in the carriage, and he was overjoyed to see that she was safe and sound.
The galloping horse was suddenly tightened in the reins, and with a sharp stop, its front hooves erected and a painful neigh. Chen Shaozong on horseback, but he didn't care about this at all, before the front hooves of the war horse landed, he rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, one did not stand firmly, and even fell down when he reached the ground, but he did not pause, he turned over and got up, rushed to the carriage, and knelt down heavily, with tears in his eyes, raised his head, looked at his mother and said: "Mother, the child is not filial, you are tired and suffered!" ”
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
When the old lady saw it, she was so distressed that she didn't need the maid to help her, so she hurriedly got out of the car, and helped her son up, looked left and right, choked up and said: "My son, I thought I would never see you again, it's okay, it's okay!" ”
As he spoke, he wiped the mud off his son's forehead and patted the dust on his son's body.
At this time, Chen Shaozong couldn't speak, so he simply stopped talking, just looked at his mother, the tears on his face were not dry, but he smirked vigorously.
For him, he also thought that he would never see his mother again. Now that I can see my mother safe and sound, I am naturally very happy.
The surrounding Jianyu watched this scene silently, and a trace of emotion appeared on the faces of many people.
Although they are Jianyu, they are also human beings, and they also have parents and brothers. The true feelings revealed by the reunion of mother and son can be clearly felt without words.
After seeing that her son was fine, the old lady came back to her senses first, and along the way, she always remembered this incident, so she hurriedly asked her son: "Where is the emperor?" The emperor is as important to me as the sea, and my mother must go to thank the emperor! ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Shaozong also came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is in Jinzhou City!" ”
As he spoke, he suddenly became elated, and hurriedly said to his mother: "Mother, the emperor praised you." The emperor said, you are an example of the people of the Ming Dynasty, those prisoners, let them go and then arrest them, but you must be rescued. ”
When she heard this, the old lady was also excited. This is what the Ming Emperor said, he just did his duty, but the emperor spent such a big price to save himself, what can he do! The ancestors of the Chen family are above, have you heard? What a glory! It's the glory of the Chen family!
Chen Shaozong was excited, and suddenly heard a whining sound, turned his head to look, but found that Geng Jimao was tied to a horse, stuffed with something in his mouth, and begging in his eyes.
It's good that he didn't see it, but when he saw it, he was immediately furious, and immediately stepped forward, pointed at Geng Jimao's nose, and was so angry that the green tendons on his face burst out, and shouted: "The Geng family actually has an unfilial son like you!" is bent on stammering Tartars, and even his father can sell them, Vice General Geng really died unjustly! ”
"Woo woo woo ......" Geng Jimao wanted to say something, but he could only make a whining sound and couldn't say anything.
Chen Shaozong ignored him anymore, just like this, what is not as good as pigs and dogs, it is dirty to say a word, turned his head and looked around, and soon found the coffin containing Geng Zhongming's body. He walked over, looking sad, and looked at it for a long time, but did not speak.
To be honest, he also had a bit of mixed feelings. If it weren't for Da Ming being strong enough, then he would be a chess piece used by Geng Zhongming to lure the Dongjiang Army ashore. Thanks to Daming's strong enough, Geng Zhongming realized that there was no future with Jianyu, so he decided to fake the show and arranged everything in the follow-up.
If Geng Zhongming was still alive, he would definitely have to question a few words. But now, Geng Zhongming is dead, and everything is over.
It didn't take long for Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding, to be ordered to hand over the hostages. And Emperor Chongzhen himself watched from the head of Jinzhou City.
Dai Shan and the 3,000 Jianyu, in fact, there are no 3,000 Jianyu, and when they built the Jinzhou fortifications before, dozens of them died. was deprived of all ordnance and armor or something, so he just wore a suit of clothes and returned to Jianyu's side. Dai Shan himself happened to get into the carriage where Chen Shaozong's mother had sit.
And Chen Shaozong's mother, with the support of Chen Shaozong himself, walked to Jinzhou City. accompanied by Geng Jimao, who was tied up, and a coffin.
Nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Ming Army, looking at the scene in front of them, to be honest, their feelings are also very complicated.
When they looked at Chen Shaozong's mother, they were very admired. This old mother understands the righteousness, and teaches her son to recognize right and wrong, good and evil, and even would rather die by herself than her son to die for Jianyu again, and wants her son to return to the Ming Dynasty.
When looking at the person who was tied, although most of them didn't know him, they all knew that this person was Geng Zhongming's son Geng Jimao. When his father wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, he betrayed his father, and even thought about eliminating the Dongjiang Army. It's just a pity that now his master can't keep him and hands him over.
The soldiers of the Ming army, when they saw the coffin again, they felt sorry for Geng Zhongming and admired Geng Zhongming at the same time. No matter what, Geng Zhongming is a king with a different surname on Jianyu's side, but he still wants to return to the Ming Dynasty and abandon the darkness to the Ming, which shows that he still has loyalty in his heart.
Of course, they didn't know that Geng Zhongming's abandonment of the secret and the matter of turning to the light was actually very tortuous. The things he said in his suicide note are that he saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty and finally decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Emperor Chongzhen has issued an order to seal his mouth, and only a few people know. In any case, Geng Zhong clearly died to return to the Ming Dynasty, so let him be more glorious.
All the soldiers of the Ming army, looking at the three people who exchanged the lives of Prince Jianyuli and the three thousand Jianyu soldiers, after a long while, they turned their heads to look at the royal car on the head of the city.
The emperor, who is above the ninefold level, rules over thousands of living beings. It stands to reason that it is unattainable. However, at this moment, they felt that they were not far away from the emperor.
The emperor is also a person of flesh and blood, not the kind who lives above the temple and can only be used to pay respects.
For his subjects, he will do everything he can to protect them, and for the loyal, he will save them, no matter what the cost.
The emperor really has to use his practical actions to set an example to his subjects, punish evil and promote good!
In history, there have been many wise and martial emperors, but there is a rare emperor like the current emperor, most of them are just words!
It is really a blessing for my generation to have such an emperor, and it is a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty!
In the end, without the deliberate guidance of anyone, after the exchange was completed, nearly 20,000 Ming troops invariably knelt down to the great emperor at the head of Jinzhou City, and shouted in unison: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”
Dai Shan, who had already embarked on the return journey, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this high-morale voice coming from behind him, and he was not happy at all that he had escaped from Ascension.
After walking for a while, one of Yue Tuo's cronies got into the car, and when he saw that he was in a very low mood, he said to him: "Lord, you still have to take care of your health, the affairs of Shengjing must be done by you to go to the town!" ”
Dai Shan was a little strange when he heard this, so he asked him: "The emperor is in charge of Shengjing's affairs." This time the king went back, and he had to ask the emperor for the crime of losing Jinzhou......"
Knowing that Dai Shan didn't know yet, this Yue Tuo's henchman immediately whispered: "Your Majesty has returned to heaven, and there is no will to designate a successor, and now there is tension in Shengjing City, and they are all staring at the emperor's position." The meaning of the master is that after the prince goes back, he can use your prestige to deter them, and maybe it will be the turn of the master to take the throne of the Qing Dynasty. ”
That's right, the position of the emperor, everyone is red, even Yue Tuo, is no exception. Now that he has rescued his father, then his vein is the two princes of the Qing Dynasty, and the weight is heavier than the other veins. For the throne, it is also possible to fight for it.
At this time, Dai Shan listened, but he was not attracted by the issue of the throne, on the contrary, he was too surprised by the death of Huang Taiji, and for a while, he was stunned.
In the first half of his life, he has actually been intriguing with Huang Taiji and fighting for power and profit, but no matter how hard he tries, even if he unites Amin and others, he will eventually lose in the hands of Huang Taiji, and can only obey Huang Taiji's orders.
In the second half of his life, he saw with his own eyes that after Huang Taiji took over the position of the first Khan, the Jianzhou Jurchen became stronger and stronger, and finally founded the country and became the emperor, dominating Liaodong and the grasslands, and even defeated the Korean ministers and tribute.
Therefore, later, he accepted his fate and served Huang Taiji, and he never had any other thoughts.
However, at this time, he suddenly heard that Huang Taiji was dead! Just when the Qing Dynasty was so difficult, Huang Taiji died!
After a while, Dai Shan suddenly came back to his senses, and with the agility that was rare at his age, he grabbed the man's collar and asked sharply: "The emperor is fine, why is it gone?" What's going on, why is it so sudden? ”
The man just felt that Dai Shan seemed to have become a dull old man, but suddenly, he became a tiger again, and suddenly, he was a little frightened, after all, when Dai Shan was in power, he was still playing with mud.
He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "The emperor was angry and vomited blood, and the imperial doctor explained that he couldn't be angry, but he got angry again, and vomited blood several times, and then ...... Then ......"
Hearing this, Dai Shan's mind immediately flashed the scene of Huang Taiji vomiting blood before. I don't know why, in his mind, the face of Emperor Chongzhen immediately appeared.
Huang Taiji's death, that Ming Emperor is definitely related! However, so what, he is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, what can he do?
Thinking of this, he remembered again, what he heard just now, saying that Shengjing's side was already tense in order to compete for the throne. Suddenly, he was in a hurry.
If it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, or if the Qing Dynasty does not have the predicament it has now, Dai Shan would not mind fighting for the throne. But at this moment, he deeply felt the threat of the Ming Emperor, and he also personally participated in the Jianzhou Jurchen step by step to the point where it is now, and he would never allow the Qing Dynasty to start internal strife and fall apart.
Thinking like this, from the moment the surrender of Jinzhou City, he was already disheartened, like an old man in his old age, and suddenly, he was full of fighting spirit, as if he had completely changed a person, and immediately urged him to leave quickly, and immediately rushed back to Shengjing.
For this change of Daishan, Emperor Chongzhen is not omnipotent, and he didn't expect it before. Although he learned afterwards through the first-class eavesdropping seed on Dai Shan's body, first, it was not easy to chase, and secondly, Emperor Chongzhen believed that even if Huang Taiji was still alive, he couldn't fight himself, not to mention, Huang Taiji was dead.
Therefore, he didn't care about the matter of acting for good, and even faintly looked forward to how the history of Jianyu would go in the end under the flapping of his butterfly wings?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also busy, met with Chen Shaozong's mother, gave her glory, named Mrs. Edict, gave a mansion to the Beijing master, and drove back to Beijing.
Chen Shaozong did not go back, but strongly asked to stay and kill. According to him, he said that he was very familiar with Liaodong and that it would be more useful to stay in Liaodong than to go to Beijing. His mother also supported him and told him to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country to thank the emperor for his grace!
In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was not reluctant. For Geng Zhongming's body, he was buried outside Jinzhou City, the land where he had struggled. However, the spirit card will be brought to the Beijing Division, moved into the Beijing Martyrs' Shrine, enjoy the Ming incense, and coexist with the country.
As for Geng Jimao, at the strong request of some of the Ming soldiers, he was first shackled to show the public for three days, suffered all the saliva, and was spurned, and then, Ling Chi disposed of, and when he had his last breath left, he sealed the bronze statue and knelt in front of his Laozi's grave to repent. As long as the Ming Dynasty exists for a day, he will kneel here for a day, spurned by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and used as a negative teaching material to educate his children.
