Late autumn of 1643.

The weather in Yanjing will be very cold at the end of September.

When you get up early in the morning, people can already exhale white air, and when a gust of wind blows, the whole body of a person who can freeze is cold.

In Yanjing City, the most majestic and magnificent building complex is of course the Forbidden City, if anyone is lucky enough to be able to look down from Jingshan, in addition to the Zhengyangmen City Tower and several temples, from the Xuanwu Gate all the way through, the central axis is countless and unclear vast and majestic palace complexes.

Kunning Gate, Kunning Palace, Qianqing Palace, Qianqing Gate, and then go out all the way to the three major halls, the Noon Gate, the Duanmen, the Chengtian Gate, the Daming Gate, the Zhengyang Gate, and the Yongding Gate.

What a mighty and magnificent central axis!

In the east of this central axis, that is, in the southeast corner, there are Donghua Gate, Wenyuan Pavilion, Tiren Pavilion, and of course, the most important thing is the East Palace where the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty lives.

Wenhua Palace, Duanjing Hall and other palaces together, forming a group of palaces, although far less than the three major halls and the Qianqing Palace, but in the forbidden city, it is also a place with quite high specifications.

"Whew...... WhewW...... Woohoohoo......"

On the side of the base of the Duanjing Palace, a figure ran over with great difficulty.

On the top of this person's head is a cyan cashmere tartar hat decorated with Dongzhu, a azure placket jacket with lotus pants, and cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles on his feet.

The clothes are not bad, but the runners are not. The body size is about 1.7 meters, the face shape is round, the facial features are quite delicate, and it doesn't seem to be very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

But the body shape seems to be a bit over-standard, of course, from the eyes of people at the time, it is called rich and majestic.

Because he is on the fat side and may also lack exercise for a long time, the speed of this little fat man is not fast, just similar to walking or running. Even so, he was still panting, beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, and the placket on his chest was soaked with sweat.

"Master, let's rest......" Around the corner of the hall, there were dozens of people who looked like eunuchs, some with round necks and red robes, some with green robes and green robes, some wearing official boots and black gauze hats, and some wearing official hats and white leather boots.

Seeing that this little fat man was working too hard at this time, several lieutenants in red robes had to kneel down and begged bitterly: "Master, rest for a while and then run." ”

The fat man was also tired, his hands were propped up on his knees, his tongue was spit out, and he panted like a puppy for a long time before waving his hands and saying, "If you can't rest, it won't work." ”

With that, he stuck out his tongue again and continued to run away.

Duanjing Hall is the same as other palaces in the palace, divided into two before and after, the front hall is the one in front of you, tall and majestic, divided into three rooms, respectively, the study room and the guest use, Hanlin officials into the article, is also in this Duanjing Palace.

In the early years, these things were in Wenhua, but this dynasty changed to Duanjing, taking advantage of it.

Such a big hall, of course, is not small in scope, and besides, this young master is to go around the inner courtyard palace, and then run outside, go around, and then run back.

This little master has been running since the bell rang five times in the morning, and the drum on the corner tower of the noon gate has also been beaten, and I am afraid that it has been running for half an hour.

"The master was really sick last time, and even his surname has changed."

Since they didn't listen to the persuasion, several eunuchs hid in a leeward place and began to whisper.

"I've been howling for a long night!" Li Jiye, the eunuch in charge of Duanjing Palace, looked hideous, and clapped his hands and said: "At the beginning of September, the young master was sick, and he was almost raised, but he suddenly became ill again in the middle of the month, crying and barking, and the noisy chickens and dogs walked. ”

"The emperor was also worried at that time, urging Sun Chuanting's kung fu to find a decisive battle against the thief, I heard that the young master was sick like this, but it also made the emperor sad."

"It's a great thing now. But this surname is very different from before. ”

"Now it seems to be much more cheerful, laughing and talking?"

"Also, I like to meet the speaker."

"Master used to be a child with an indefinite surname, but now, he's grown up."

"By the way, the master has a new trick...... Hey, where did the stuff go? Li Jiye patted his head, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve robe, and said with a smile: "Look...... A sandbag made of about 20 catties of leather, a number of various iron rods made by a blacksmith, and a number of round iron rings of 5 catties to 10 catties and 50 catties...... You see, it's the way the master draws with a brush, and you can hit it like that...... Everyone, tell me, what does the master want these things? ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Li Jiye himself shook his head and smiled, and only said: "No matter, anyway, serving the master to make him happy is our main job." ”

Someone answered: "Yes!" If it's worthless, just ask Lao Huang of the War Bureau to get it. ”

"That's right!" Qiu Zhizhong asked Li Jiye: "Did the knife that the master wanted?" ”

"It can be beaten. He also needs iron armor, which he doesn't dare to enter. ”

"Well, it's okay to get a knife and practice knife skills. Iron armor is absolutely unacceptable. ”

The little master they said was the special title of the crown prince in the Daming Palace at that time, and the emperor was long live the emperor. The crown prince is the master, and the emperor is sometimes called Ge'er, or the lord's seat, the master, and the kings can be called Ge'er, or they are called by rank.

The little fat man running in front of him is Zhu Cihong, the eldest son of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, who was the eldest son of Princess Xin and the current Empress Zhou.

The crown prince is fourteen years old this year, and he is about to be fifteen, and he also attaches great importance to this son-in-law, and when the crown prince was six years old in the eighth year of Chongzhen, he ordered Jiang Fengyuan, Yao Minggong, Yao Minggong, Wang Duo, Wu Weiye, and Yang Tinglin, who edited the scriptures, and edited Hu Shiheng and Yang Shicong's school books.

This team is very strong, and it was also full of Confucian and famous ministers at that time, but although the crown prince is not stubborn, he is not smart, and his self-control is weak, Chongzhen is overwhelmed by state affairs every day, and he doesn't care about him at all, so although the teacher is very strong, the students are just average, anyway, between the government and the opposition, no one praises him.

The crown prince has always lived in Zhongcui Palace, and in the first half of this year, Empress Yi'an Zhang changed her residence, because she was getting older, and the royal family was ready to marry him as a concubine, so she needed a reading space that completely belonged to the prince.

This Duanbengong Palace is not far from Donghua Gate, is the northeast corner of Ouchi, at the junction of the inner and outer courts, and is a good place.

It's that the prince seems to still have a very heavy childishness, and his studies are generally just fine, but now he is crazy every day, running in the morning, and after going to the palaces to ask for peace, he is doing those strange actions, and now he has to get all kinds of equipment, saying that he still has to practice martial arts.

Not only that, now there are internal eunuchs under the palace and the imperial horse supervisors, thousands of eunuchs who practice martial arts, of course, there are also military attaches who are taught by the Jingying and the imperial guards, and the prince has selected a few of the martial arts who are known as the strongest martial arts among the military attaches in the inner palace to come to the East Palace, practice their physical strength in the morning, learn swordsmanship in the afternoon, and practice riding and archery.

"Demon Sign!" Li Jiye shook his head, looked at the crown prince who trotted over all the way, and said: "After giving birth to this illness, I moved my soul, and our family looks at the master, just like two people." ”

If the crown prince hears it, he will have to give him a thumbs up and praise: "You are also a crosser?" Our brothers cherish each other, so the eldest brother will talk about the second brother. ”

The crown prince Zhu Cihong, who ran like a dog and was more tired than a mule, was naturally Zeng Bifan, who moved his soul after the car accident.

At first, he couldn't believe it, and he went crazy for several days before he slowly accepted the reality.

With this acceptance, you know that something is wrong.

"the mud horse!" After knowing who he was from the memory of fusion, and knowing what year it was, Zeng Bifan sighed sincerely: "Lao Tzu is actually the crown prince of Chongzhen, and he also came to September of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, where is this wind, it is simply a hurricane!" ”

It's no wonder that he was emotional, at this time, it was less than half a year before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and this situation seemed to be similar to Li Jiancheng on the day of the change in Xuanwumen. In short, it's a dead end with no way out.
