Chapter 103: Foundation (5)
After this incident, Chongzhen's sacrifice in Xiaoling became more and more solemn and solemn.
Originally, after all, he was the emperor who fled south, and he lost half of his ancestors' thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and he was embarrassed to flee south, which was an indescribable embarrassment, but for a while, the group of subordinates was subdued, and his momentum was not so weak.
"Unfilial piety to Sun Chen, bow to Emperor Gao......"
The sacrificial text, since it is from Hanlin, the Golden Horse and the Jade Hall, the four Li Liu, very beautiful and colorful. But when it reads, it also makes ordinary people scratch their heads.
Xiaoling guards, in addition to the guards and eunuchs guarding the mausoleum, the civil and military ministers and the people who came to watch do not know how many, Chongzhen after the sacrifice, Suo turned his head and said loudly: "I am cool, the seventeenth year of the imperial pole, since the ascending pole, internal and external strife, military disasters are connected!" Now the thief enters Beijing, and he is the unfilial grandson of his ancestors! I have been thinking to myself all night, I am not talented, and I can't feel the heart of the ministers and the public to be loyal to the country; unwise, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, loyal and foolish; If you don't use force, you can't say that you can put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and relieve our people from hanging upside down, this is all my virtue and ability, and I don't know what to do, and I am ashamed of the gods, so I am ashamed of the people, so the emperor punishes and traps Shenjing, and bows to the police! However, I hereby swear to heaven that within a few years, we must work together with the ministers, and it is necessary to level the thieves and return the old capital, and when the time comes, the world will be safe, and the people will rest, and the king, etc., please wait and see! β
At this time, it is rare to have such a breath-raising remark, the ministers heard it, they were grateful, whether it was true or not, whether it was happy to surrender or to let it go, at least the emperor proposed to work together with the ministers, and before that he made a summary of the surname, he confessed his own virtue, political failure, military failure and other mistakes.
At this time, before the filial piety, the ministers could not be moved, Shi Kefa and other ministers were in tears, admiring, and after Chongzhen completed a series of actions such as sacrificing filial piety, the hearts of the people have indeed been taken back by him a lot.
"Alas, I'm the crown prince......"
Chongzhen has not been in power for a year or two, and he can't see that there are seven or eight out of ten of his subordinates' expressions and demeanors, and the minister's demeanor in front of him is obviously different from just now, and obviously, it is also because of what he just said.
Of course, these words are also Zhu Cihong's desperate persuasion to him, father and son run south, not losing virtue is also losing virtue, and the subjects of the world are not disappointed but also disappointed. In the seventeenth year since he ascended the throne, the world has been stunned, and now he has lost the capital teacher, and he has admitted his mistakes if he is not guilty of all the crimes, even the emperor will lose the hearts of the people and seriously weaken his authority.
Now it is indeed not as expected by Zhu Cihong, and after a while, the effect is also expected.
It's just that between looking forward to it, Chongzhen suddenly felt at a loss...... Yuji has been in the past ten years, and everything has been wrong, and in the end, he almost died in Beijing, and now everything is at the mercy of a child...... In this way, is this son ruling the country, or is he ruling the country.................. On the eighth day of April in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, outside a sub-city of Nanjing City Gate, a team of five or six people was blocked from the way, led by a thousand chief military attachΓ©s, killed a very strict belt, the leather armor with copper nails was wiped very cleanly, and the copper helmet on the top of the head was also wiped bright, shining in the sun, although the waist knife between the waist span was just an ordinary road color, and there was no cloak and other things, but it also looked very solemn and majestic.
"Where are your guides?"
After stopping the people, this Qian Zong didn't make a sound, but the soldiers around him stepped forward and shouted: "Without a road guide, you will not be allowed to enter the city!" β
"Are you blind?" Chen Mingxia's companion stepped forward with a whip, pumped in the air, and shouted: "Didn't you see what kind of clothes my master is wearing, what kind of headscarf is he wearing?" β
This group of people is Chen Mingxia and his entourage who rushed over from Huai'an, all of them are dusty and tired. I was in a hurry from night, but fortunately there was a good moonlight, and the torches were bright, because the weather was warm along the way, and the pedestrian caravans were also endless, so it was not difficult to run.
It's just that when he came to the city of Nanjing, it was really very disgraceful and uncomfortable to be blocked like this, because of this, Chen Mingxia did not stop the rude words and deeds of his personal servant, but just looked at the other party coldly.
Besides, it stands to reason that Taizu was custom-made back then, and ordinary people, even if you were the chief military officer, had to lead the way when you went out. Only if you are in the show, you are allowed to travel thousands of miles with a sword, and you don't need any bullshit.
Of course, there are few Xiucai with swords, and there are many with folding fans.
"I saw you wearing a headscarf...... At this time, Mr. Qian came over, pressed the waist knife on his waist, and said with a high face: "But it can't be a person wearing a headscarf, let's treat it as a master?" Besides, there is something to say, even if it is a master of all beings, he must ask Ming from his hometown what he is doing in Nandu...... This is an order issued by the three masters of the Xincheng Bo and the Chengyi Bo and the Shi Pavilion Department of the Military Department, who dares not to take it seriously? β
If you want to talk about the southern capital, Chen Mingxia has also been here several times, the last time the thieves invaded Fengyang, when he was only a few hundred miles away from the southern capital, he happened to be in the city.
At that time, the situation was so critical, the southern capital here was also loose and crossed, and there was no vigilance to come out, and now the emperor has just arrived, but it is really different from the past.
It's just that praise is appreciation, Chen Mingxia touched his body, but he didn't have any credentials. If an ordinary Xiucai goes out, it is better that the academic official will write a proof credential, and the official will have a fire card post ticket, but he is in a hurry to leave Beijing, and he is not an ordinary Xiucai student, how can he have any proof to take the shot?
Seeing him like this, the thousand always held his head high...... These students, with the atmosphere of being noble and cheap, have always liked to be cheap soldiers, not to mention the general manager, even the general soldier is not in his eyes, and now the customs are tight, but he can just kill the prestige of these talented students.
"Frontier!"
When Chen Mingxia was embarrassed, he saw an acquaintance at a glance, and saw that the other party was riding by under the support of a group of soldiers.
"Huh!"
Fortunately, the other party heard the movement as soon as possible, Mao Xiang's two small eyes emitted a joyful light, turned his head to the horse, and arrived outside the city gate in a few breaths, rolled off the horse, and threw himself to the ground, and only said in his mouth: "Brother Baishi, my brother thought that you were trapped in Jingshi, and I didn't want to run away!" β
"Yes, it's hard to say, but it's better to follow the crown prince out of Beijing together, from Shandong to Huai'an, and then to Nandu!"
Speaking of this, Chen Mingxia also blushed a little.
Originally, according to his plan, he wanted to stay in Jingshi to see the style, and then said, Daming seems to be running out of qi, so why not stay in Jingshi and take a new dynasty? I don't dare to say that from the old Longxun, at least I have to be a subordinate first, and if I can get credit, I can do some business.
But later, after listening to Zhu Cihong's words, I knew that Yanjing couldn't stay, so at the last moment of leaving the city, he and many colleagues rushed out.
Despite this, Chen Mingxia was very good at covering it up, and he played two haha at the moment, and only said: "What's the matter, you are also working for the imperial court now?" β
"Where?" Mao Xiang smiled slightly and replied, "My brother is now praising Xiang's military affairs in front of Shi Gong...... By the way, now there are rumors in Nandu that the crown prince has exterminated Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, the governor of Zuodu? β
"It is true." Chen Mingxia nodded and smiled, and said, "The details of this, I will explain it to Bijiang in detail when I have time...... Liu someone deserves it! β
Listening to his words, Mao Xiang looked left and right, the expression on his face also became solemn, he thought about it for a while, and said: "Brother is here to Nandu, is it because he has a heavy responsibility?" β
"Yes, my younger brother came to Huai'an, and I came to see the emperor on the orders of His Royal Highness."
"Oh, I see."
Mao Xiang nodded, but did not speak for a while, but for a while, the two of them appeared in a very embarrassing cold scene.
In front of him, Chen Mingxia also felt very strange. He is the predecessor of the Restoration Society, and Zhou Zhong and others are the first batch of veterans of the Restoration Society, although he is not very old, but the name of the department is very early, and the talent and the name of the department are ready, which is a very colorful and proud thing, and because of this, he also has full prestige in the Restoration Society, such a rising star like Mao Xiang, although the name is not small, but in front of him is just a little brother with a slight name, after all, the other party is just a showman, and even the lifting person has not been hit.
If it is in the past, Mao Xiang must be very respectful to him, and after meeting will be very affectionate, at this time, because of a period of isolation between the north and the south, the brothers in the society will see each other, they must hold hands and ask each other, to be very affectionate. Unexpectedly, the other party was in such a situation, but it also made Chen Mingxia very uncomfortable.
After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "Bijiang seems to have something to do?" It's funny to say that the foolish brother didn't bring the security credentials, so he was blocked from entering the city......"
"This brother saw it, in me!" Although Mao Xiang looked worried, he immediately turned his head and smiled at the door guard: "This gentleman is my brother, in the court Ren Hanlin editing, military department to give things, how about it, can you go to the city?" β
Mao Xiang and Zhang Zilie and others are the backbone of the Fushe, and they are very famous in the southern capital, even the relatives are very afraid when they see it, and at this time they are Shi Kefa's staff, very trusted, and there is a team of soldiers guarding them, such a person, how dare to provoke a thousand general managers guarding the city gate?
smiled again and again at the moment, and only said: "Humble duty is a duty, you can't help but be vigilant, it's not to embarrass this adult, but Mr. Mao is the guarantor, what else is there to say?" β
"Okay, then I'll take my brother into the city."
Hearing that the other party still had the intention of reproaching, Mao Xiang didn't care, nodded, and turned around to invite Chen Mingxia into the city, and only smiled in his mouth: "I told my brother to see and laugh, but it has to be, I haven't seen the holy car in the southern capital for two hundred years, and now the thief is blazing, I heard that the thief has Xiao Liuying, who is responsible for spying, so I can't be more careful." β
"Of course you have to defend the city!" Chen Mingxia said categorically: "The prince is in Huai'an, and the garrison is even stricter than that of the southern capital!" β
"Alas!" Hearing that Chen Mingxia said that he would be called the prince, Mao Xiang was unhappy, while riding with Chen Mingxia, he lowered his head and thought about his own thoughts, and after half a ring, he made up his mind and said to Chen Mingxia: "Brother, come with me to meet someone, how about it?" β
"This ......"
Chen Mingxia was still hesitating, but he said: "Brother is coming, my brother has already guessed a few points, you might as well go with your brother, and my brother will naturally understand everything!" β
