Feng Kaizhang knelt down to say goodbye to the crown prince, March in Yanjing was still a cold spring, he was wearing a military attaché uniform, which was not thick, and his chest was cold when he was blown by the cold wind, but when he was whipping up, his heart was hot.

It's just that the situation in the streets and alleys of Jingshi is also panicked, and when I saw a military attache coming over quickly from a distance, the faces of the people were also frightened!

rushed all the way to Wang Jiayan's mansion, turned over and dismounted at the dismounting stone, and his own royal subordinates greeted him and held Feng Kaizhang's mount.

Today it is not a Chang Dynasty, but Wang Jiayan is the deputy general manager of Beijing, so people are extremely busy, Feng Kaizhang asked the door government as soon as he came to Malaysia: "How is it, is your master here?" ”

"Yes, I just came back." The deacon replied, "Master Li has just come. ”

"Oh, he's ......" Feng Kaizhang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, you can take me in." ”

He is also a frequent visitor here in Wang Jiayan now, so his family didn't inform him, and took him in directly.

The weather was still very cold, Wang Jiayan was as clear as water, and it was extremely cold in the large living room for entertaining guests, so his family was also familiar with him and led him directly to the inner study.

Before I entered the door, I heard the sound of talking inside, and it seemed that I was still moved.

"At this time, I don't know what is the use of defending the city?"

"Why didn't it work? If you don't defend the city, will you let the thieves in? ”

"There are less than 10,000 guards!"

"That's it, that's why I use my generation!"

The two voices seemed to be Li Banghua who had doubts about defending the city, but Wang Jiayan was unhurried and not in high condition, but he did not let in the slightest.

Waiting for him to enter with pride, Li Banghua was in a panic, this old minister has also been hit recently, and he was the one who took the lead in moving south, and was later questioned by Guang Shiheng about his intentions, and he was already very embarrassed, and later the emperor was suspected of supporting the prince to supervise the country, and he was not credited.

At this moment, this old man is stubborn, he doesn't care about his situation at all, but he is here to persuade Wang Jiayan to leave the city immediately with the prince.

"Let's tell the truth......" Wang Jiayan had no choice but to say to this senior minister: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has other arrangements, and he has already explained it, so that I will obey the order." ”

Li Banghua was shocked and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course." In fact, Wang Jiayan did not have real evidence, and he was forced to ask by Li Banghua at this time, but he just gritted his teeth and worked hard.

Feng Kaizhang entered with a smile, handed the prince's secret message hidden in his arms to Wang Jiayan, and said with a smile: "My lord, the student is ordered by His Royal Highness to send this order." ”

Wang Jiayan unfolded it and saw that it was an unmistakable handwriting of the prince...... After waiting for several months, I finally saw that the East Palace made up my mind at this time, and I was not even afraid of being treated as a rebellious minister and thief! At the moment, his face turned pale, and his figure flickered...... Feng Kaizhang hurriedly supported him, Wang Jiayan stood up straight, smiled coldly, and said, "The student is going to the city now, and the major affairs of the sect and society are important, so I won't accompany him here." ”

The edict he received was indeed the most important, at this time, the army was coming, and it was already the time when the dagger appeared, the prince had helped him run it for the past few months, and he also had a lot of strength in his hands, at this moment, there was no need to hide anything.

"Meng Gong!" Feng Kaizhang said to Li Banghua: "The students were ordered to go out of the city, and they were waiting outside the Chaoyang Gate to go out of the city, and Meng Lao was also on the prince's list...... What is Meng Lao? ”

"The king has not done it, how dare the old man say to leave?"

"Don't worry, boss," Wang Jiayan also said: "There are more than 30 people in the cold house, and they have agreed to go out of the city today." Originally, I said the same thing as the old man...... But His Highness rebuked him...... A gentleman is loyal to the king, but he must also be kind to his family, if the family is uneasy, how can he be at peace when he serves the country? The students thought about it...... So, the family of the Zunfu family, send them out of the city as well. ”

"Well, I feel it!"

Li Banghua himself made up his mind that he would take the sturdy servants in the house and the middle-aged sons and nephews to the city together, and never die, but there are indeed some old and weak people in the family, so it is very reasonable to hear this now, so it is better to really send them out of the city.

He bowed his hand as a sign of gratitude, but then he asked, "Are there enough carriages and horses?" ”

"Enough." Feng Kaizhang was about to leave the city at this time, and starting today, every moment was the last moment, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Highness has allocated funds to purchase more than 200 carts, and the coachmen and replacement horses are sufficient, and there are several pavilions and post stations on the way to Tianjin, and the spare carriages, horses, and mules are sufficient...... Please don't hesitate Meng Gong. ”

"Okay, then, tonight I will send someone out of Chaoyangmen."

"I'll take care of it in the city." Wang Jiayan said.

Feng Kaizhang also stood up and said hurriedly: "The student will go out of the city to prepare now." ”

His uncle Feng Yuanbiao was also ordered to Tianjin to assist in the shipping of ships and troops, his father Tianjin governor Feng Yuanyang prepared more than 200 large ships, the prince has been using, and the capital has been supplemented, as for the guards and horses, Tianjin's Fu Biao has more than 1,000 soldiers, the prince arranged the duties of the guards in several places on the way, and they were all used out, along the way, hundreds of carts, there are more than 300 coachmen alone, as well as the master who carries them, and the post men along the way, these are all taken care of by Feng Kaizhang, these months, he has been busy tired and thin, The voice of the speaker was also weak, and he could no longer see the graceful and luxurious appearance of the son of the family when he first entered Beijing.

But the more so, the more peaceful and stable the heart is, at this time, although it may be a farewell, and the age difference between the three is very large, but they all feel that they are not against their hearts, at the moment Wang Jiayan just smiled and said: "There is a sentence in the handwritten book given to me by His Royal Highness, I want to encourage the two of you." ”

Li Banghua was very interested and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

Feng Kaizhang had read it, but he was silent at this time, just waiting for Wang Jiayan to read it.

"If a profitable country lives and dies, will it be avoided because of good and evil?"

Wang Jiayan looked up to the sky and laughed, there were tears hidden in the corners of his eyes, he was the master, but he came out first, and only said: "Your Highness praises me so much, what else do you have to say?" Haha, go to the city gates! ”

……

……

The big event is approaching, but Zhu Cihong's heart is quiet.

Everything was done, and there was nothing to regret. If he had no last resort, there was no such thing. But if he did everything he could...... I guess that's it.

He will go to the Qianqing Palace to make the final lobbying, and when he arrives near the Jingmen, he happens to meet Wu Xiang, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace.

"Knock to the master!"

There was already a panic in the palace, but because Chongzhen was still in the palace, the palaces still maintained the most basic operations, and even Guanglu Temple was still using reserves to supply the inner court, and the Shangshan Supervisor was in charge of the food of the palace maids who committed crimes in the Huanyi Bureau...... Although it is still as underweight and rough as ever.

"Don't be polite." Zhu Cihong frowned and said, "Where is my father?" ”

"I know that the emperor is in the Fengxian Palace."

"Huh!" Zhu Cihong was surprised, then nodded and said, "I know, take me over." ”

At this time, Chongzhen's heart was indeed in a panic, and when he went to Fengxian Palace, he was afraid that he would go to the Crying Temple.

"Yes, the slave will lead the way."

Unless it is a New Year's Festival or a specific day, Zhu Cihong will not come. For example, the birthday of a certain emperor and emperor, Chongzhen himself, or assign him, the crown prince, to sacrifice, usually clean the incense or something, of course, the emperor does not have to worry about it, this is the ancestral temple in the inner court, who lard is blinded and does not dare to ignore it here.

From the Yongxiang next to the Qianqing Palace, when I arrived outside the Fengxian Palace, I really saw a few eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace who had been serving Chongzhen closely.

If it was someone else, naturally they couldn't come closer, and when everyone saw that it was the prince coming, they all bowed down.

Zhu Cihong gently pushed open the door of the palace, but saw Chongzhen really kneeling on the gold brick floor of the Ming Palace, and the front was the portrait of Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chengzu, but the current emperor was like a child who had been wronged, kneeling on the ground, but he was crying bitterly: "Two emperors, you have experienced a hundred battles and have a great future, and now your descendants are mistaken for Wenchen, and then mistaken for military attachés, and they have been on the throne for 17 years. Now the thieves have invaded the territory, and they will arrive at the city of Beijing within a few days, and now there are no soldiers and no generals in the city, Sun Chen has issued an edict to gather reinforcements, but they are far away, and it is difficult to ...... Sun Chen misled the country and made a mistake, and now he has made up his mind to die, and he is willing to die for the community! But I hate to see the two ancestors in the ground......"

When Chongzhen cried before, his tone was still weak, and several times the crying was louder than his words, and the eunuchs who heard it outside the hall were all crying like rain, crying loudly.

Since the Ming Dynasty built the temple, and built the Fengxian Hall in the palace, and enshrined the portraits of the gods of the ancestors and ancestors, there has never been a situation where the emperor cried in the Fengxian Palace, and then hundreds of palace female eunuchs cried together.

In the midst of the wailing, a large flock of crows was startled and flew up, making strange noises, flying back and forth in the sky at the top of the temple, which added a little desolation!

Wu Xiang had tears in his eyes, and cried beside Zhu Cihong: "The emperor is not the king of the dead country, how can such a tragic thing happen!" ”

Zhu Cihong just looked grim and didn't say a word.

Chongzhen's tragedy was caused by himself, and now he wants to continue the tragic life under his tragic surname?

Seeing that Chongzhen finished crying, he stood up, just looked up at the portrait of the second ancestor, and then passed by the rest of the portraits of the ancestors and the gods, some of the gods he would worship, such as Emperor Xiaozong, and some of the gods he didn't even look at, such as his brother Emperor Tianqi, in Chongzhen's heart, the beginning of the misunderstanding of the country was started by his brother who ignored state affairs.

Only in front of his mother's god, Chongzhen's face was full of soft family affection, after standing for a while, the whole face gradually returned to the color of "fortitude", Chongzhen kowtowed three times in a row, and after getting up, although the tears were rolling, the mood was much calmer, he said slowly: "The son will soon meet with the underground, with his mother and Concubine Tian, is Concubine Tian still filial?" Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan, and her sons will also be taken underground together to serve their mother's ......"

Chongzhen's words were extremely light and low, but the resoluteness and murderous atmosphere in his tone made Zhu Cihong hear it clearly.

At this time, he could only gently close the door of the palace and sigh, but he strode towards the direction of Kunning Palace.
