"Does the prince have a blanket to borrow? The last general made an old mistake, and he played again, and it was very cold. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Liu Zeqing suddenly skimmed his rice bowl while eating, and curled up tremblingly, Zhu Youhua turned around and saw that there was nothing, without saying a word, he took off the cloak and robe on his body, went over to put it on him, and asked for a military doctor, Liu Zeqing wrapped his robe tightly, and waved his hand tremblingly: "No need...... It's still warm, the prince feels sorry for the last general, so it's better to give this robe to the last general. ”

"Liu Zeqing! Don't be rude to the king! Lu Jiude stepped forward to fight for the robe. Zhu Youhua hurriedly stopped: "What is a battle robe worth?" It was given to General Liu. ”

Liu Zeqing lowered his head and thanked him one after another, with an inexplicable smile in the corner of his eyes.

Lu Jiude took off the cloak on his shoulders and carefully draped it on Zhu Youhua's shoulders like a nurse: "The military minister is reckless, but fortunately, the prince is benevolent and doesn't care. ”

Zhu Youhua smiled and didn't say anything, at this moment he still remembered the news of Nandu, whether those Donglin had yielded, whether they would give in or not There was no exact information coming, the four towns had gone south with him and were about to arrive in Yangzhou, there was no turning back arrow when the bow was opened, if those Donglin scholars did not yield to force, would they take advantage of the situation to lead the soldiers and horses of Zuozhen to the south, and he would have a fish to break the net, everything is not yet known, he has already understood the thick black and madness of those "gentlemen", only what he dare not think, there is nothing they dare not do, the position is undecided, It's hard to say who can have the last laugh, and he has no intention of comprehending some of Liu Zeqing's careful thoughts at this moment.

Zhu Youhua tore the cake into the broth and stirred it a few times, picked it up and was just about to eat, when he saw a dead insect on it, he unconsciously stopped the chopsticks, Zhu Youhua was benevolent and quiet by nature, and his mood was invisible, so he didn't make a noise, Lu Jiude next to him was careful, he had already seen it, and hurriedly asked: "Who makes the broth?" ”

Tian Cheng was also waiting on the side, thinking that the soup was unpalatable, and when he was ignorant, Zhu Youhua had already picked up the dead insect and bombed it to the ground, and whispered: "Don't let people know, just a fly and insect, and if you go out, you are afraid that people will be punished."

"When you meet the mercy of the master, count your boy's luck." Lu Jiude smiled and waved his hand to signal Tian Cheng, who was still in a daze, to go out, Zhu Youhua picked up the bowl and ate calmly, Lu Jiude looked at Zhu Youhua and felt very emotional.

Everyone was eating, suddenly saw the smoke and dust rising from the south, a team of people and horses quickly came, Zhu Youhua stopped eating, and everyone got up to look, Zhang Tanggong, Ma Xiong and other royal military academies had already heard the sound and drew their blades, and took the lead in rushing out of the tent with the guards, Zhu Youhua walked out of the curtain and looked up, and saw that Zhang Tanggong and others and the other party had gathered together, and then took everyone back from the smoke and dust, which was relieved.

One hundred and ten people drove in the smoke and dust, led by the commander of Caojiang, sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, he was in his forties, wearing a first-class military attache supplement, plump and fair-skinned, and his demeanor was graceful and luxurious, he went straight to Zhu Youhua, and got off the horse to give a salute: "Minister Liu Kongzhao, I am here to take over in Huaiyang!" ”

Zhu Youhua was very excited about his arrival: "Sincerity, please get up!" Has the matter of Nandu been agreed? ”

Before Zhu Youhua's words fell, he suddenly saw smoke and dust rising from the south, and a group of people and horses arrived, all the generals nervously drew their swords, and the handsome young generals had sharp eyes, pointed to the opposite banner and said: "The one who played the flag of the Admiral Nanjing Jingying is from the southern capital!" ”

"Chen Xin Chengbo Zhao Zhilong greets the prince!" Zhao Zhilong, who was rich and poopy, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and ran quickly to Zhu Youhua to salute, and Zhu Youhua greeted him with a smile on his face.

Through the mouths of Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao, Zhu Youhua finally knew that the overall situation had been decided, and a cadre of ministers led by Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of Nanjing, had already issued a public notice to clearly express their willingness to support the Fu Domain, and they were preparing a guard of honor at the moment, waiting to welcome Zhu Youhua and his party.

……

The palace city built in the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty is located in the Zhengyang Gate in the east of Nanjing City.

It is a complex of buildings with yellow glazed tile roofs, surrounded by a high wall that is five miles long from north to south and four miles wide from east to west. Within the palace city, it is bounded by the Chengtian Gate, and to the north of the gate is the Forbidden City. Walk in through the end gate and the noon gate, and stand in turn "Fengtian", "Body", "Huacani", three halls. The east and west sides also have "Wenhua Palace" and "Wuying Palace" respectively, as well as "Wenlou" and "Wulou". This is the place where the emperor receives the pilgrimage of the hundred officials and holds the grand ceremony.

To the north of the "three major halls", all the way to the Houzai Gate, it belongs to the scope of the "Houting". There are many palaces with different names, as well as an imperial garden. The emperor's daily life was there.

In addition to this part of the Forbidden City, to the south of the palace, a wide imperial road stretches from the Wulong Bridge outside the Chengtian Gate to the main gate of the palace, the Hongwu Gate.

On the east side of the imperial road, there are five departments and Zongren Mansion in addition to the Criminal Department, such as officials, households, rites, soldiers, and workers, as well as Honglu Temple, Qintianjian, Tai Hospital, etc.; To the west of the Imperial Road is the highest military institution, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, as well as the location of the Yamen such as Jinyiwei, Tongzheng Envoy, and Taichang Temple.

This huge palace city, as a symbol of supreme authority, was naturally solemn and sacred, magnificent and extraordinary when Emperor Taizu set the capital in Nanjing. However, since Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, it has experienced more than 200 years of idleness, and now, it has long been depressed and dilapidated, and it has completely lost the atmosphere of the past. Due to the scarcity of opportunities to receive the emperor's visit, most of the palaces in the Forbidden City were in disrepair; Even those yamen that have always had officials stationed, except for the doors of a few ministries that are quite neat, most of them have collapsed walls and no one cares; As for the Zongren Mansion, which manages the affairs of the imperial family, since it was taken over by the Ministry of Officials, it has collapsed to the point that only a few doorposts remain.

At the beginning of April of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, there was a sudden change—a comprehensive sweep and a preliminary renovation plan were urgently carried out in the palace. For several days in a row. Groups of mules and horses and carts were mobilized here from all directions, carrying loads of bricks, tiles, wood and stones into the palace, and hauling out the mountains of all kinds of garbage. Several side gates of Miyagi are filled with hordes of eunuchs, sergeants, and craftsmen all day long. Driven by the foreman, they were busy sweating profusely, showing that they were exhausted, which added tension and panic to the old and silent city...... Due to the compromise and concession of Shi Kefa and other Donglin ministers, the final resolution was reached on the matter of supporting the new monarch: on April 13, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was ordered to go to Yizheng to welcome King Fu with the public notice jointly signed by the hundred officials of Nanjing.

The next day, Xu Hongji, a pro-Donglin Nanjing garrison, led his ministers to Pukou in Jiangbei to pick up the chauffeur and escort King Fu to Yanziji Wharf.

On the 14th, all the ministers of Nanjing who got the news went to Yanziji to meet the new master, and once again expressed the sincerity of Tongxin Yidai. It was agreed that King Fu would enter the city the next day, April 15.

Things are going well. However, in view of the fact that we are currently in an extraordinary period of national change, these actions have not been announced in advance in order to prepare for the unexpected. It was not until April 15 that the Soldiers and Horses Division sent a military academy to strengthen the vigilance on the route that King Fu traveled into the city, and at the same time instructed the lieutenants along the way to have the shops and households facing the street put out incense sticks in front of the door, so as to prepare for the prostration at that time.

As we approached, everything was set up. After King Fu landed from the Sanshan Gate, he had to go to the filial piety tomb to pay respects and salute, and did not enter the city for the time being. Therefore, Guo Weijing, the imperial historian of the city patrol who is sitting in Chaoyangmen, has not yet ordered the street to be cleaned. Those who carried the burden, rode in the sedan chair, and walked still came and went. Although they didn't know what was going to happen until this time, the people who had been waiting in panic since the bad news came to Beijing still guessed that a new emperor was about to reign in the former capital based on a series of unusual measures in and around the palace in the past few days. Naturally, they don't understand what kind of fierce competition the new emperor has experienced behind the scenes; They didn't even care whether this prince or that prince would sit in the Dragon Court, and what the difference would be to them.

They just decided it was a vital thing based on the rules that had been passed down from generation to generation. Just as they cannot imagine that there is only one temple without a bodhisattva in it, as long as the throne on the main hall is no longer empty, they feel that everything is protected and secured again, and they become at peace again, and even a little joyful. It was this discovery that made Chen Zhenhui, who was walking out of Hongwumen from the yamen of the military department, couldn't help but smile secretly wryly while looking at the scene on the street.

It was not until the day before yesterday that Chen Zhenhui received a notice from Shi Kefa and rushed back to Nanjing from Pukou. Until then, he had no idea what had happened. After experiencing the initial shock and understanding that the situation was irreparable, he, like his fellow members, felt extremely resentful and frustrated.

King Fu ascended the throne, the future of the monarchs of the Donglin Restoration Society is uncertain, and it is unknown whether the people can take charge of the state affairs of the Zhengying Dynasty, because of this, a while ago, Chen Zhenhui and his friends were so resolute in rejecting the original righteous King Fu, and supporting King Lu, who was a monk halfway; Later, King Lu couldn't stand up, and King Gui was finally barely acceptable. Who knew that in the end, Ma Shiying suddenly changed his hexagram and led the army of the three towns to support the Fu Domain by force, and Liu Zeqing in Jiangbei also quickly defected, and Donglin could only completely compromise without resistance, making the previous efforts come to naught.

Chen Zhenhui was disappointed and a little distressed. However, he also understands that at this point, it is useless to be indignant, and the most urgent thing at the moment is how to quickly establish a new line of defense according to the changed situation, and look for any possible opportunity to turn the tables.
