The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners of the Ming Dynasty was held at the noon gate of the Forbidden City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are end gates, Chengtian gates, and Daming gates in front of the noon gate, and there are Fengtian gates behind them.

Inside each gate, neat corridors are lined up on both sides.

This form of layout surrounded by porches and progressive layers is influenced by the Han Dynasty's "five gates and three dynasties" system, which is conducive to highlighting the majestic and solemn characteristics of the palace architecture.

The noon gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, which is connected by three city platforms in the east, west and north, and embraces a square square.

The north gatehouse, nine rooms wide, the top of the yellow tile hall with heavy eaves.

There are thirteen rooms on the east and west city platforms, row up from both sides of the gatehouse to the south, the shape is like a goose wing, also called the wild goose wing building.

In the east and west, the north and south ends of the goose wing building each have a heavy eaves and a pavilion with a spire. The majestic noon gate, like three mountains embracing, five peaks protrude, majestic momentum, so commonly known as five phoenix towers.

Chongzhen, the princes, and the civil and military officials stood in the Wufeng Tower, looking at the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who slowly entered the field to offer prisoners.

Qin Haoming and five hundred soldiers, led by Lin Yuji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, paused in the square square, and the drums stopped.

"Thanks to His Majesty's blessings, Lu Xiangsheng, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and the prime minister of Xuanfu, Datong and Daming, brought the Ming soldiers under his command to Chongzhen for 11 years...... Suppress the invasion of Jiannu...... It is known as the great victory of Zhao County.

Now this meritorious soldier commanded Qin Haoming and the guerrilla general Qi Gang, and led 500 soldiers of the Tianxiong Army to present prisoners to our emperor......"

Lin Xiangji retold the story of the Battle of Zhaoxian, coupled with the flowery eight-strand article as a decoration, and read it for half an hour before it ended.

This is the public reading of the "Lubu" (good news) of victory over the enemy.

After that, the officials of the Ministry of Rites took the manuscript to the heavens and the earth, the temple, the shrine, the Yuedu, the mountains and rivers, the palace and the shrine within ten miles of Beijing, and made a gift with preserved wine.

Leaning slightly, the two pavilions on the left and right of the gatehouse in the middle of the noon gate rang with bells.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ……”

Qin Haoming and the five hundred soldiers stroked their chests with their right fists to salute during the war, and rode on their horses and roared loudly.

Other Ming soldiers and people around also shouted, and the voices of people were like a tide, and the sound shook the sky.

The civil and military officials walked out of the door from both sides in order according to the level of the position, and the tent seat was set up in the front of the gatehouse for Chongzhen to sit.

After the hundreds of officials arrived and sorted, the drums beat loudly.

Then the main entrance of the noon gate slowly opened, Chongzhen smiled and sat down in the middle of the tent, and a little south of the seat was the preset position of the prisoner.

Civil and military officials shouted three long live salutes!

At this time, Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to take the captured Tartars to Taimiao and Taishe with Bai Lian to make a symbolic salute, and then brought them back to Qin Haoming and them.

Cao Huachun, the eunuch of Si Li Bingbi, the governor of Dongchang, and the governor of Jingying Rongzheng, whipped the dust and screamed, "Sacrifice prisoners!" ”。

Qin Haoming and Qi Gang jumped off their horses, grabbed the two highest official Jiala Ezhen from the hands of the brocade-clothed guards, and escorted them to the position of prisoners.

The two of them knelt down on one knee with their hands in fists and saluted, and shouted loudly: "Minister Qin Haoming (Qi Gang) see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

"Two Aiqing, please get up quickly, wait for the armor to be on your body, no need to be polite!"

Chongzhen was in a very happy mood, his hands were raised, and he hadn't raised his eyebrows so much for a long time.

Qin Haoming stood up, his eyes swept over Chongzhen's cheeks slightly, thinking of the young man in front of him with a fair and thin face and a somewhat thin body, Qin Haoming couldn't help but sigh slightly, his heart was a little complicated.

Chongzhen's tragedy is too strong, a thin young man who was only 33 years old when he died, but he carried the dilapidated Ming Dynasty on his back for seventeen years, and he was still indomitable.

After King Fu was killed, Chongzhen fell seriously ill and couldn't walk upright on his legs for more than ten days, so he had to summon Chu Chen in the warm pavilion, and for the first time he couldn't cry when he summoned the courtiers.

Shoufu Fan Fucui has been whispering in Chongzhen's ear: "This is the number of days!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen replied very unhappily: "Although the number of qi is counted, it also depends on personnel to save it." ”

Perhaps, this is the reason why later generations generally sympathized with him, did not compromise, did not abandon!

Liu Zhifeng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was old, and walked out of the civil and military officials in a trembling manner, saluted to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Please ask the emperor to dispose of the prisoners, or please hand them over to Yousi for disposal." ”

At this time, the fate of the Tartars depended on the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen, and if he ordered the death penalty, he would be taken to the court by Daliqing.

If an acquittal was ordered, the first minister, Liu Yuliang, issued a decree to release the bonds, and then the Tatars announced their release.

The captives shouted three times, and then thanked them.

All eyes were on Emperor Chongzhen to see how he decided.

In particular, Yang Sichang's hands were sweating, and he looked nervously at Chongzhen's decision, because it was related to Chongzhen's attitude towards the Tartars in the future.

At the same time, his eyes also swept over Qin Haoming, everything had been explored clearly, it was this young man who ruined his big plan, and he was not enough to plan!

Chongzhen stood up, shook off the golden shawl of his uniform, turned around and looked around, and shouted loudly with stern eyes: "Kill and decide!" ”

"My emperor is young, the sword is out of the sheath, defend my Ming, and restore my Han people!"

Qin Hao had been waiting for this moment for a long time, regardless of whether it was against the rules or not, he raised his arms and cheered loudly!

The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army, who had been explained in advance, neatly pulled out the waist knife in their hands, pointed to the sky, and shouted in unison, "My emperor is foreign, the sword is out of the sheath, defend my Ming, and restore my Han people's majesty!" ”

With a shout, the tragic murderous aura of the veterans of a hundred battles was suddenly released, infecting most of the people at the scene.

"My emperor is young, the sword is out of the sheath, defend my Ming, and restore my Han people!"

"My emperor is young, the sword is out of the sheath, defend my Ming, and restore my Han people!"

……

In an instant, the people of the whole capital also shouted in unison, hoarsely, and then the other soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also shouted when they saw that Chongzhen did not stop it.

The scene suddenly became extremely hot, and the direction of the matter was beyond the expectations of all the courtiers.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites all had bitter faces, no one would have thought that Qin Haoming would make such a scene, it didn't match his feelings!

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lin Yuji kept looking at Emperor Chongzhen's face, and thought in his heart that Taishang Laojun was about to appear.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen had a smile on his face, intoxicated by the praise of the people of the city, and the great victory was really the best way to improve morale.

Qin Haoming's hands were also pinched with a handful of sweat, and his heart hung high in the air.

It was a great risk for him to do so, and even his life was in danger, but he had to take a chance!

Daming is now a stagnant staple, losing its blood and passion.

Because Qin Haoming knows that a country and a nation must have blood!

You must dare to show your sword in order to deter the Quartet.

The sword and sword hidden in the scabbard, no matter how sharp they are, are only dead things.

It does not deter others, nor does it have any practical significance, but loses the blood of the nation.

If you hide it for too long, it will rust. When I wanted to use it, I couldn't even pull it out.

The current Ming Dynasty, advocating literature and suppressing martial arts, isn't that exactly the case?

History proves that the princes of the court can no longer be expected. However, the power of the people must be mobilized, otherwise it will be useless to rely on individual strength alone!
