Chapter 2 The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings (2)
"Sir...... Wait, I've got something to ...... I'm going to give it to the sir. The old man struggled to get up, took out a crane-patterned jade pendant from his swaddling clothes, and handed it forward.
"How did you have this?" Mu Changfeng only glanced at it, but he reached out and grabbed the jade pendant, his expression changed suddenly, and his face was eager that he had never seen before.
"When Wang Ye was young, he used to walk in the rivers and lakes under the pseudonym Shen Bai and make friends with his husband, which ...... This is the only bloodline left by the prince, and the old slave begged Mr. Changfeng to see it...... Save the face of the past love...... Save the world's life! The old man was already holding on to his breath, and at this time he vomited out a mouthful of blood, Sheng Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the baby in swaddling clothes suddenly cried at this moment, but his voice was weak. Mu Changfeng saw that the child's face was pale, and he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.
"That Shen... How is King Anyang now? ”
"The prince ...... himself The Djinn was ...... in battle After being seriously injured, he has not been able to recuperate, and he has gone to an emergency illness that he couldn't hold on. ”
Mu Changfeng reached out to touch the child's slightly cool face, and Sheng Yun was about to help the old man up, but he did feel that his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and the blood on his face faded, "Master! Master! Come on! ”
"Little ...... The little donor didn't shout, but ...... As long as the little prince is safe...... It's safe, and I can ...... I can go down and serve it with peace of mind...... The prince is over. After saying that, his head tilted slightly, and his body slowly cooled down. Shengyun was soft-hearted, and it was the first time he saw this with his own eyes, and he was already crying.
Mu Changfeng let out a long sigh, and the corners of his eyes were also a little moist, "Wulan!" ”
A black shadow came from nowhere, and landed firmly behind Mu Changfeng, "Sir! ”
"Bury this old man, Shengyun come in with me."
The child was still crying, Mu Changfeng told the cook to get a bowl of goat's milk, and he held the swaddling clothes and shook them gently, although the movements were rusty but gentle, the tears in the corners of Shengyun's eyes had not been wiped dry, and he stood next to him and sniffled.
Mu Changfeng said: "Don't cry, this child is your junior brother from today on, his father is my old friend, and now he has no father or mother, you should treat him as your own brother, protect him well, and teach him." You have the right not to tell him what happened tonight, and don't tell him when he's older, let alone anyone else. ”
"Yes, Master. I will protect my junior brother. Sheng Yun stepped forward curiously and glanced at the child whose eyes were slightly closed and seemed to be about to fall asleep, and reached out to touch his cheek, but he didn't expect the child to suddenly open his eyes, look at Sheng Yun, and smile shallowly.
Sheng Yun was originally the youngest here, but now that a child who was still soft like this suddenly appeared, Sheng Yun felt that he had suddenly become a big brother, "Master, what is the name of the junior brother?" ”
Mu Changfeng looked at the child, his mind was a little sudden, and some fragments suddenly appeared in front of him, the West Lake Causeway, the wind blows the willows, he and Shen Bai sat on the shore fishing, the young man was full of spirit, talking about the world's affairs, that kind of leisure has passed for many years, he came back to his senses and touched the child's forehead with his cheek, "The empty room is white, and the auspiciousness stops." "Let's call Mu Shengbai, I just hope that his heart will be clear and clear in this life, and he will not remember the old hatred of the previous dynasty and get involved in the power struggle again, and live this life safely."
Wu Lan walked in at this time, "Sir, it has been settled." ”
"Okay, now that the old and new dynasties have changed, we can't stay here anymore, you go and prepare, and we'll go back to Yunkong Mountain early tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
Jinling Castle, Showa Hall.
Du Jingxun still stood straight, his expression silent, and the wind outside the door swirled in the hall, stroking the mottled cloak.
"Your Majesty!" Qi Yu hurriedly came in from outside, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, the emperor ...... The housekeeper in Meng Yu'an's mansion took the prince to escape from the secret passage, and the minister had sent someone to chase him, and the Meng family also ...... Committed suicide. ”
Du Jingxun stepped forward to help Qi Yu up, "Ah Yu, you and I don't need to be like this." ”
Although Qi Yu got up, he still bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, now that the monarch and the minister are different, the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”
Inspector Du Jing sighed: "If it was a month ago, I would never have thought that I could stand here today, but until now it is still like a dream, I hate myself for not being able to protect my Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and I have no face to see my Du family, now that the faint monarch has been beheaded, the new world will open, but Ah Yu, why do I feel so overwhelmed?" Do you think I'm too cruel for tonight's events? ”
Qi Yu stood behind him, looking at his back, at this moment, Du Jingxun was still just a friend he grew up with in the past, when he was a teenager, Feng Shen was handsome and admired by many daughters in his boudoir, and now he is twenty or seven years old, and his perennial army has also increased a lot of decisiveness, from a young high-spirited general to a tragic change in the family, and now he has come to such a high position, he is afraid that the road ahead will be strong and hindering him will be unstable in his heart, hesitated for a while, Qi Yu stepped forward and raised his arm to put his shoulder on his shoulder as before, and patted him a few times, "You and I have known each other for more than 20 years, How could I not know who you are? That Meng Zecheng was mediocre and nepotistic, and the four brothers did all kinds of evil, and it was not a pity to die. It's just that now you are carrying not only the peace of the western realm, but also the peace of the whole world, if you can be worthy of your conscience and return the people to a prosperous world, it is enough to comfort your uncle and aunt in the spirit of heaven. ”
"Well, I know. The king of Anyang is a benevolent person, I took care of me a lot when I first arrived in the west, but unfortunately died young, and the affairs of the Du family really have nothing to do with him...... That's it, leave that little son a way to live, and count me as repaying the kindness of the day. ”
"Okay, I see." Qi Yu knew that he was not a ruthless and unrighteous person after all.
"And ......," Du Jingxun spoke again.
"Huh?"
"Take your arm off and press my wound."
“…… Oh"
On the sixth day of April in the first year of Taihe, Du Jingxun ascended the throne in the Showa Palace, changed the name of the country to Kun, received the pilgrimage of the hundred states, and the ministers knelt down, amnesty the world, and advertised the people. It was for Emperor Jingyuan.
The new emperor ascended the throne, in order to show benevolence, gratitude for the grace of his parents, brotherhood and the righteousness of husband and wife, and posthumously named his father Zhongyi Marquis as Emperor Taizu Shengderen Wuwei, his mother was Shu and Empress Yizhen, and his twin brothers were posthumously named Prince Heshun and Prince Heyu, and his wife was posthumously named Empress Xuanchun Rui Zhenwen.
After the former Emperor Ming Huan as the emperor of the wilderness, the former dynasty Rong Concubine Xu clan punished the three clans, and the rest were all demoted to concubines, men in the clan were never allowed to be officials, and women were not allowed to participate in the draft.
In addition, Qi was praised as a hussar general from a product, given to the general's mansion, and the rest of the meritorious heroes were also promoted and rewarded, in order to fill the vacancy of the ministers in the court, the special order of the states and counties to select the virtuous people to go to Jinling to participate in the palace examination, the former courtiers had no disobedience and wished to assist the Ming lord were also retained.
The former emperor was mediocre, unclear, traitorous ministers held great power, and the officials in the middle of the court were suppressed.
Emperor Jingyuan had led troops for many years, fought in all directions, and knew that the people were not able to make a living because of the war, and his wife was separated, so he specially ordered to reduce the burden of conscription, military service and taxes on the peasants, and promote cotton and rice planting. Strengthen the management of the armed forces, reorganize the four borders, and strive for stability in the border areas. The people are simple, and they are not interested in how Emperor Jingyuan ascended to the throne, they only know that this emperor has given them real benefits, and he is a good emperor, so they spontaneously bow down in the direction of the imperial city and shout long live.
A new dynasty has begun.
