Chapter 1: Crossing
"Whew..."
The man lying on the bed let out a cry of unknown meaning. Hearing the sound, a group of people in coarse cloth clothes hurriedly gathered around.
"The emperor is awake..."The shouts and footsteps echoed in Liu Jing's ears. Am I still alive? ”
Liu Jing's mind was constantly playing the picture before he lost consciousness: the cruise ship that was sailing in the river suddenly capsized, and he was waiting for death in his room full of pain... He tried to push the door open, but he couldn't, and in the end, the rushing river took his life.........
"Ahh Thinking of this, Liu Jing screamed in fright, and the whole person suddenly sat up, just like the legendary corpse that suddenly sat up in a coffin.
A thin woman with patches on her clothes walked up with a washcloth, "Your Majesty, the slave maid wipes the emperor's face." This scared Liu Jing: his memories were still immersed in his previous life. Suddenly, when he heard someone calling him the emperor, he was frightened or frightened.
"The crew, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not an emperor!" Liu Jing yelled around like crazy, obviously not understanding the situation yet. The roar frightened the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to take a few steps back, but Liu Jing's mind was filled with the deadly water again, and he seemed to be there, and he was stunned again.
Liu Jing fell into a deep sleep again. But the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to rest at all--- not only because they were afraid that the emperor would have an accident and they would be punished, but they followed the runaway son from Zhaoqing to Guilin, from Guilin to Guiyang, from Guizhou to Kunming, and this time he simply wanted to transfer to Burma: those who could follow him all the way down had some feelings for this weak emperor.
After running for thousands of miles, the Yongli court has long lost its complete system of eunuchs and palace maids, and now there is only one old eunuch Li Guotai in charge of the inner palace before Yongli is called the emperor. Li Guotai got the news and hurriedly rushed to the courtyard not far away. He has been able to live from Yongli's ascension to the throne until now, and he has long forgotten the ancestral teachings that are isolated from the inside and outside. Li Guotai knows very well that the reason why the master he serves can survive to this day is all because of those ministers who sacrificed their lives for him.
"Grandpa Guo, something happened to the emperor!" Li Guotai trotted all the way into a relatively intact wing room in the courtyard. As an important figure in the escape team, Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, can enjoy a room to himself.
"Take me there." Mu Tianbo understood the meaning of his words, and he didn't bother to ask again, so he followed Li Guotai directly into the courtyard where Yongli was.
After a while, the important ministers of the small court of Yongli gathered around Yongli's bedside. Everyone looked at the sleeping Yongli, no one spoke, but from time to time someone sighed---- not so much lamenting the fugitive son of heaven, but lamenting the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.
Yes, since Emperor Taizu "expelled Hulu and restored China", the Ming Dynasty has gone through two hundred and ninety-one years.
The people present are all high-level intellectuals of this era, and naturally have a clear understanding of the lifespan of the dynasty: in addition to the Zhou Dynasty praised by Confucius, "Yu Yu Wenzai, I follow the Zhou", there is only less than 800 years of national Zuo, and most of the time is in name only, Zhou Tianzi suffered humiliation, was sent into the water by the Chu people and drowned, was forced into debt by merchants, and even the weakest of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period Korea could be bullied at will in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
can clearly realize that every dynasty has a lifespan, and be able to accept it emotionally, watching the Ming Dynasty fall little by little, after all, are two different things.
No matter how hard everyone present tried, they couldn't completely save the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty... The current Ming Dynasty is already a flat boat in the sea, and they are the passengers on this small boat.
It was rainy in Yunnan, and there was a dense sound of rain drops outside the threshold, as if God was also crying for everyone in the house.
There was a low sobbing sound from inside the room.
As if sensing the emotions of her subordinates, Liu Jing suddenly sat up in front of everyone.
"The ministers knock on the emperor." Everyone who was still lamenting for the fortune of the Ming Dynasty just now bowed down and said.
This time, Liu Jing finally didn't go crazy, and barely understood what situation she was in. He sat up from the bed and bowed deeply to the courtiers who knelt beside the bed.
"I have been able to survive in the turbulent Ming Dynasty, thanks to the protection of Zhu Qing!" Yongli helped them up one by one.
"The ministers don't dare to take credit! Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the Dongyu who stole Shenzhou is just a temporary gain! Yang Zai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was shaking his wit and wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
"I, Daming, will return to Shenjing!" Since some people are sycophants, others don't mind pouring chicken soup for the soul on each other at this time.
"You Aiqing have worked hard, but I am seriously ill and my mind is slightly forgotten, which Aiqing will explain the situation for me?" Liu Jing gradually got used to Yongli's identity, and forced herself to chew the words.
"It's my duty to do it." Mu Tianbo bowed out and grabbed the white directly. "There is still a day's journey to Burma, and the Burmese are very unreasonable and want the king to lay down his arms before he can enter Burma."
With a "bang", Zhu Youlang's head hung down and smashed to the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."The ministers and palace maids gathered around, and the little eunuch who had already had a spirit went to call the imperial doctor---- saying that it was the imperial doctor, but even if it was really the imperial doctor of the Beijing court, what disease could be treated when there was a lack of medicinal materials?
"I'm fine." Zhu Youlang raised his head and wiped the blood on his head with his hand. The pain on his scalp made him feel the reality of this era even more. "Gong Qianguo, you go and send someone to tell the Burmese people that if you don't get out of the way and let the car into Burma, I will definitely send 100,000 troops to return to Burma! In addition, it is proposed to pass on the king of Jin and the king of Gongchang, if it is unfavorable in Yunnan, it can enter Burma to escort. ”
The words made everyone stunned: Is this still the emperor he knows? The Son of Heaven has always been an indecisive person---- the most typical thing is that in Kunming, because of the people's request, the grain was not burned, resulting in these grains becoming the military rations of the traitor Wu Sangui.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard, who is good at slapping horses, made Ma Jixiang the first to react: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty established the country with benevolence and filial piety, if you don't put down your arms, how can you show the trust of the Ming Dynasty in Burma, if you lose the trust of Myanmar, it will turn its back on me and throw yourself into the East, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Your Majesty, for the sake of the Ming Society..."
Although Liu Jing was half a fan in her previous life, her understanding of history can only be roughly described. In his impression, Ma Jixiang was an objective accomplice in the difficulty of cursing water---- at the beginning, it was on the national border, Ma Jixiang ordered the Ming army to lay down their arms, and from then on, Yongli's life entered the countdown.
No, no, I'm the eternal calendar now! A voice sounded in his cloudy mind. "If I don't stop this now, I'm going to die! No, I can't just cross and die! ”
Liu Jing's weak body burst out with a strong desire to survive, he pushed down Ma Jixiang, raised his foot and kicked it violently: "You dog slave, I obviously founded the country by expelling the barbarians, but now I have to obey the orders of the barbarians, do you still know what the majesty of the Celestial Empire is?" ”
