(This is quite a turning point.) I've gone home.,Today's 7,000-word update.,From today.,The update will increase.,Hehe,Strive to return to the original intensity of 10,000 a day.,Work hard, work hard! I work hard, brothers also have to give it, monthly passes, recommended tickets or something, not to mention, subscribe to me too! ）

"Huh?" As soon as he said this, Yan Yizheng was also shocked.

Not daring to slack off, the two hurriedly entered the Qianqing Palace on their front and back feet.

The two lightly entered the main hall, the emperor lived in the Qianqing Palace on one side of the hall, wide and wide, to the Qing Dynasty, about feel too tall and cold, in addition to Shunzhi and Tongzhi two, the rest of the emperors are living in the heart of the palace, the Qianqing Palace abandoned, and the Kunning Palace behind the Qianqing Palace, in the Ming Dynasty is the queen's bed, in the Qing Dynasty then built a large pot stove in the palace, every day to transport two pigs, in the Kunning Palace to cook meat, every day, nearly three hundred years endlessly, until the Qing Dynasty moved out of the palace after the demise of the party.

This kind of behavior is really ridiculous.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the word fear, throughout the ages, there is no one who is easier to win the country than the Qing person, this sentence is really not wrong at all. The dignified Ming Dynasty, in fact, is not to fight against Li Chuang's rebels with the strength of the whole country, at most it is to mobilize Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Beizhili several political envoys, in the south, there are still a large number of hundreds of thousands of troops, and if Emperor Chongzhen follows the advice of his subordinates to move south, with the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and then support another thirty or fifty years, it is not a problem, in fact, in that case, the imperial court crossed to the south, leaving this northern land to Li Chuang and the gradually rising Houjin State to fight, It's not bad to find a way out of a desperate situation.

Although the Ming Dynasty perished, the foundation of the people is still there, and it is because during the hundreds of years of the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the "movement" under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty has been carried out repeatedly, even after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, following the two cross genealogies issued by Zhu Yuanzhang to each of his descendants. Killed corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like a river, but when the third prince of Zhu raised his arms and shouted, there were countless crowds of people all of a sudden! It can also be seen from this. How deeply rooted the rule of the Ming Dynasty was.

Just because of the order to keep your hair without your head, and keep your head without your hair, how many people have chosen to keep your hair?

During the hundreds of years of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that those so-called holy monarchs have never had any mercy on this issue.

History has long been deviated, and this will be a country that has really been founded, but it is in a corner of peace. has neither the ambition to occupy the entire world, nor the strength to match it, and now under the attack of the Wu Yi Army and Russia from the north and south, it is already too busy to take care of itself, and the country is in turmoil. As for Nurhachi, who single-handedly created the Houjin Kingdom, he now recognizes Lian Zining as his godfather, and is dedicated to serving Wu Yijun.

The times are different, and the road that the Ming Dynasty is destined to go on is also unknown. The one who understands this most clearly may only be Lian Zining in the world.

At this time, the Qianqing Palace is still the sleeping palace of the Ming Emperor. Tall and majestic, of course, there is no aroma wafting out of the cauldron of boiling meat, the emperor's dormitory, that is, the east warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, there are several excellent Xuande furnaces - these are the most exquisite of the batch of furnaces in the Xuande period, the surface of the copper furnace is a little red, burning with extremely high-quality spices, exuding a wisp of elegant fragrance, smelling it makes people feel refreshed, sleeping in such an environment, that is, the quality of sleep can also increase a lot, for the old man like Zhengde. Its role is even more important.

In the corner of the East Warm Pavilion, several richly dressed palace maids were leaning on the ground, with just a blanket spread under them, and they were half-lying and half-sitting against the wall, dozing off, their heads shaking. As soon as it goes down, it is like a chicken pecking rice, it is awake, shakes, and after a while, it goes back to sleep.

…,

They can't sleep soundly as the palace maids who are more valuable.

Most of the delicate and expensive people sleep a little shallow at night, and it is common to wake up from time to time, get up at night and drink tea, of course, they can't do it themselves, so they have to wait for these palace daughters.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born poor, but the rules in the Daming Palace treat these palace daughters extremely harshly, and can even be said to be mean and cruel.

As soon as they entered the palace, they were forced, and when they entered the palace, according to the rules, they could leave the palace if they were not favored by the emperor at the age of twenty-five, but when they entered the palace at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they could live to be out of the palace at the age of twenty-five, but there were really few.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a very mean personality, these palace maids are killed if they are not careful, and the work in the palace of the Ming Dynasty is very heavy, the rules are also strict, and there are many people who are tired to death, and what is even more outrageous is that there are many people who are frozen to death - the Purple City can freeze people to death, it sounds incredible, but in fact, the glamorous beauty of the Forbidden City is only for those nobles. The residences of these palace maids are in disrepair, leaking on all sides, and in winter, don't even think about the earth dragon, and few people have charcoal stoves! And the pursuit of beauty, do not give them thick clothes, all year round is that light spring clothes, think about it, Beijing city cold winter, no stove, no thick quilt, not even thick clothes, can survive is really fate!

You know, the city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty during the Xiaoice River period was much colder than now, and there were always minus 20 degrees.

As for these dead palace maids, no one cared about them at all, so they just made a straw mat and burned it.

Seeing Liu Jixiang and the others coming in, the palace maid on duty hurriedly got up to salute, these two are not something they can offend.

Liu Jixiang said: "There is an urgent report from the northwest, there is no delay, wake up the emperor!" ”

The palace maid answered, walked two steps quickly, arrived at the emperor's bed, and whispered through the curtain: "Emperor, emperor!" ”

Zhengde ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and this year he is already sixty-seven, and he is almost old, and when he reaches this age, he sleeps very lightly, sleeps early, gets up early, and is easy to wake up.

The palace maid called twice, and Zhengde answered in a daze, and before she opened her eyes, she had already asked, "What's wrong?" ”

His body was not very comfortable, and his tone was a little irritable.

The people who were waiting around immediately knelt on the ground, and Liu Jixiang and the two also knelt down.

The palace maid was still a little calm, she lifted the curtain, leaned over, and helped Zhengde, who was about to sit up. She is an old man who has been serving Zhengde for a long time, and knows that if Zhengde doesn't wake up by himself but is woken up, the back of his head will definitely hurt a little, so he holds the back of his head. Rubbing it carefully, he said, "Emperor, Father-in-law Liu Jixiang wants to see you." ”

was rubbed, Zhengde became much more comfortable, and when he opened his eyes, he was much more conscious, and he immediately knew that something big had happened. Otherwise, with Liu Jixiang's temperament, he would definitely not dare to alarm himself.

He looked at Liu Jixiang and said, "What? ”

Liu Jixiang hurriedly knelt on the ground and took two steps on his knees, and raised the document in his hand high: "Emperor, there is a sudden change outside the palace, and the slave and maid are not daring to delay, disturbing the emperor, and the crime deserves death." ”

"Sudden change? What abrupt change? Zhengde's face changed.

"Yes. War in the Northwest! ”

"War in the Northwest? Show me! When Zhengde heard this, his heart immediately burned with fire.

He is such a dry character, and he is in a hurry to do everything. What's more, the war in the northwest has always been of great concern to him. According to the Ming rules, the Forbidden City will be closed once it gets night, and it is absolutely impossible to open it. Therefore, if there is something in the outer court, it is to enter the court by throwing a sudden change document, enter the inner court from the palace gate, and go all the way unimpeded, and if the sudden change does not enter, then which link goes wrong, it must be heavily responsible. So even if it is in the middle of the night, it will reach the emperor's hands in the shortest possible time.

…,

This also means that something big has happened in the northwest!

In the East Warm Pavilion, the lights have always been bright, and Zhengde took a closer look at it through the light.

The more you look. His face became more and more gloomy, and when he arrived, his body began to slowly tremble, his face turned red, and a pair of thick eyebrows, which were half black and half white, were tightly twisted.

Liu Jixiang glanced up, and quickly lowered his head, kneeling tightly on the ground, not daring to move.

Looking at the young eunuch Yan Yizheng and even the other palace people kneeling beside him, they were all trembling.

They all knew the emperor quite well, and knowing such an expression on the side, they were obviously already very angry in their hearts. Imagami is moody, and if there is any movement at this time, it is not impossible to be beaten stupid.

Liu Jixiang even secretly scolded for being unlucky, but he encountered this incident when he was on duty, but after thinking about it, he showed a treacherous smile on his face.

This time, the commander who led the 150,000 Beijing camp plus the 26 Wei Zhongyu Lin Qianwei, the Yanshan Qianwei, and the Tongzhou Wei Sanwei expedition to Hami was the Ming Dynasty's Fengtianjing Xuanli Wuchen, and Gu Shilong, the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

The first generation of Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Cheng is an old man who started with Zhu Yuanzhang, after Zhu Yuanzhang crossed the river, he came and returned and was appointed as a personal soldier in front of the tent. After following Zhu Yuanzhang on the expedition, when the boat ran aground into the sand, Gu Cheng carried the boat out, which shows his bravery. Later, he was arrested when he attacked Zhenjiang with dozens of followers, but Gu Cheng jumped up and broke the binding, grabbed the knife and fled, and then led everyone to capture the city, awarded a hundred households, and then after several battles, he was promoted to the commander of the Jiancheng Guard. At the end of the Hongwu Dynasty, Gu Cheng successively served as the commander of the Chengdu guard, Fu Youde was the forward officer of the Yunnan army, the commander of the envoy and the commander of Guizhou, and other senior officials, and in the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, he was promoted to the governor of the right army, and he wore the seal of the southern general, and became a high-ranking military general in the Ming Dynasty.

is also because his people have been fighting abroad all the year round, and they have little participation in court disputes, so they have also escaped Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife and have been spared.

During the Jianwen period, he served as the governor of the left army, followed Geng Bingwen to resist the troops of Yan King Zhu Di, and was arrested in the Battle of Zhending. So he was sent to Beiping to assist the prince to live in the guard. At that time, the central army was besieging the city, and Gu Cheng was responsible for the defense and dispatch in the city. After Zhu Di ascended the throne as the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and was named the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and he was given a thousand 500 stones, given a world bond, and ordered to guard Guizhou.

After a series of Zhenyuan Marquis, as a generational relative of the Ming Dynasty, it has continued to this day.

And Gu Shilong is the most outstanding one among the marquis of Zhenyuan in the past dynasties, except for the ancestor Gu Cheng. During the Hongzhi period, Gu Shilong was in charge of the left post of the Shenji Battalion, and won the respect of the soldiers. During the period of guarding Huai'an, he was known for his innocence. In the early years, when Emperor Zhengde was on his southern tour, Jiang Bin was arrogant and often bullied Mahayana officials, but Gu Shilong did not give in, so Gu Shilong and Jiang Bin had a grudge. However, Gu Shilong is also from a good background, and he is also extremely square and resolute, and he has won praise among the government and the opposition. Emperor Zhengde is not a fool after all, he still knows who is good and who is bad, so he also trusts Gu Shilong, and he has a heavy responsibility.

Zhengde twenty-one years. Moved to Huguang, commanded Huguang 34 guards, 42,000 households, and later recalled, and added the title of prince and prince on merit, and took charge of the military capital to supervise the government. At that time, under the instigation of Jiang Bin, Wang Bangqi of Jinyi Wei Qianhu impeached Yang Tinghe, a university scholar, and Peng Ze, a scholar of the military department. Yang Yan asked for help in the matter, and he was angry. When the Ninth Division was tried, Gu Shilong said, "The court and the merit are in the community." Bunch villain, fake side things confuse the saint and hurt the country. ”

Zhengde thought so, regardless of Jiang Bin's face, and ordered Wang Bangqi to be killed, and Gu Shilong and Jiang Bin had a deeper grudge.

…,

Gu Shilong has been in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Military for 30 years. He has successively crowned the crown prince and the prince, and is one of the few 'princes and three princes' who are still alive in the dynasty. Such an identity. With such a status, even Jiang Bin can't move him.

In the fifty-second year of Zhengde, Gu Shilong was eighty years old!

However, this old general is not old, the spirit of Ryoma, although he is so old, but he can still open a five-stone strong bow, eat three catties of mutton at a meal, and at the end of last year, his one hundred and thirty-seventh concubine added a big fat boy to him.

The more alive and energetic, the more you describe such people.

When Zhengde first selected the commander to go to the crusade against the king of Hami. It is also quite difficult to choose in my heart, there are many military generals in the Ming Dynasty, but the old and old, the dead are dead, or they are like Xu Pengju, and they have no name. but he buried his army alive. After thinking about it, he felt that he wanted to choose an old and serious member to lead the army to the west, so he thought of Gu Shilong. The emperor was still worried that Gu Shilong would resign, but he didn't expect that this old general's old and strong temperament would read, and when he heard it, he agreed with emotion.

At the beginning, Zhengde selected 300,000 brave men in the country to form the three major battalions of the Xinjing Army, and Gu Shilong was in charge of the military affairs of the three battalions. The eunuchs' hearts and eyes are generally relatively small, and this matter has always been remembered in their hearts, and when they saw Gu Shilong being unlucky, they were really happy in their hearts.

After the emperor finished reading it, his face was already red like pig liver.

He's not just angry.

This secret letter was handwritten by Gu Shilong, and the letter was very detailed.

On the tenth day of September in the 52nd year of Zhengde, they arrived at the last stronghold of the Ming Dynasty outside Jiayu Pass-Chijin Mongolwei, which is now Yumen City. The Chijin Mongol Wei was established during the Yongle period, and in the seventh year of Yongle, the Mongolian Chijin Department took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, and the Yongle Emperor placed it here, which was also one of the ruling forces of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest. Not to mention, in the character of this Mongolian, there is really a straightforward and loyal side, at least in the Chijin Mongolian Guard, which is very well reflected, since the establishment of the Chijin Mongolian Guard, has always been loyal to the Ming court, and has never been double-minded.

Later, the king of Hami rebelled, and the northwest guards were directly adapted from the tribes of ethnic minorities, and when they heard the wind, the group rose from the scene, Aduanwei, Qu Xianwei, Andingwei, Handong Zuowei, and Handongwei betrayed one after another, and the western boundary of the Ming Dynasty suddenly shrank directly from Hamiwei to Jiayu Pass, and retreated for 1,800 miles!

If you retreat, it will be similar to the Qin Dynasty.

And the only one who did not betray was the Chijin Mongol Guard. Moreover, the force of the Chijin Mongol Guard is also quite powerful, with more than 20,000 ethnic groups and more than 8,000 elite cavalry, which is a force to be reckoned with, and no one dares to provoke it in a short period of time. More importantly, the deserters from the Beijing camp and the Shang26 Wei who followed Xu Pengju's expedition to the Jurchens and returned in defeat were all sent to the Chijin Mongol Guard as slaves for life under the anger of Emperor Zhengde. Officers below the general flag were distributed together, and all officers above the general flag were killed! For officers with more than 1,000 households, their families are enslaved.

These deserters are now in the Chijin Mongolian Guard.

Gu Shilong's first stop after leaving the customs was the Chijin Mongolian Guard, who wanted to use this as a stronghold, step by step, gradually encroaching on the advantages of Hamiwei, and using his strong Ming infantry to attack one city and one stronghold, and re-lay this great country.

This idea is excellent, but alas, it turns elbows and armpits.

When Gu Shilong led the army to the third day of the Chijin Mongol Guard, the 35,000 exiled former elite soldiers inside the Chijin Mongol Guard suddenly launched a rebellion, and at this time, the light cavalry of the King of Hami was also hidden in advance and killed. At present, the Ming army is in chaos.

…,

Seeing another repetition of the tragedy of Songhuā Jiangbei. Fortunately, Gu Shilong is much older than Xu Pengju, has a good command, and is very calm, but he uses the advantage of numbers. The attacking Hami guards surrounded them and began to strangle.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the Hamiwei side saw that it could not take any advantage, so it withdrew, and those Ming rebels also withdrew together, and the Ming army suffered more than 8,000 casualties and more than 2,000 casualties in Hamiwei. The rebels suffered more than 5,000 casualties.

Overall, it was the Ming army that suffered a big loss.

This is nothing, before the war began, it suffered such a setback, and the morale of the Ming army was also greatly affected.

This is very fatal.

In fact, if that's all there is, it's nothing, Gu Shilong's actions are inevitably a bit of a fuss. Because after all, this is just a small loss, not a big defeat!

But the anger in Zhengde's heart was better than that after hearing about Xu Pengju's defeat. Better!

Because the decision to exile all those deserters to the Chijin Mongol Guard was made by him, and many people opposed it at that time, but Emperor Zhengde was insistent and insisted on going his own way.

The root of the bane planted at that time, now finally tasted the bitter fruit, these soldiers who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but because of the resentment in their hearts and the indignation of the court, they took refuge in the king of Hami, and aimed the butcher's knife at the former robe!

And all that. It's all caused by Emperor Zhengde!

This made Emperor Zhengde feel as if he had been slapped on the face with an ear scraper, and he only felt that his face was hot and hot.

And Gu Shilong's letter is actually quite impressive, just a document describing the reason for the matter, in his eyes, it is also full of irony and spicy flavor.

"Gu Shilong! You are really incompetent! ”

Zhengde naturally will not admit his mistakes. He slapped the edge of the bed hard, and his eyes were already full of annoyance.

Liu Jixiang watched from the side, but he didn't expect a deeper layer, he just thought that the emperor was annoyed by Gu Shilong because of the unfavorable situation in the northwest, he was secretly happy in his heart, his eyes rolled, and he quickly made a worried look, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, squeezed his eyes hard, his eyes were red, and he sobbed: "Emperor, rest your anger, Emperor, your old man's body and bones are important, but you can't worry about this." Isn't it almost early? Take it to the court to discuss it, and let the ministers worry about it! ”

This is said to be pleasing, that is, with a deep sense of concern, and quite funny.

Although Zhengde was in anger, he still felt a trace of warmth.

His face was a little pale, and he let out a long breath and said, "It's better for our own family!" ”

From the beginning of his accession to the throne, he has been a favored eunuch, from the original Eight Tigers to the later Ma Yongcheng, Lin Xiongqi, Liu Jixiang, they are all very Xuanhe, and they regard the eunuchs as their own family.

Liu Jixiang wiped away his tears, and a sincere smile appeared on his white and pure fat face: "What do you say, Emperor, your Kangkang Taitai is the greatest wish of the slave, even if it is dead." ”

The emperor was relieved, but he didn't know that Liu Jixiang was afraid that he would be angry and announce that he would not be able to go to court this morning, and when he calmed down and dealt with this matter, he would not punish Gu Shilong again. He just hopes that Zhengde will hold back his anger and go to the court, and then after the court, Jiang Bin, who has old grudges with Gu Shilong, will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and when the time comes, he will wait to see a good show.

Obviously, Liu Jixiang's goal has been achieved, Zhengde's mood is a little better, and it is almost time to go to the court, he pondered for a while, and then ordered the palace maid to come and freshen up and prepare to go to the court.

The palace maid waited for him to get up and sat down on the chair, Zhengde just sat down, and then remembered something, and said, "By the way, go and invite Liu Guifei to come over and talk to me." ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Yan Yizheng was not as clever as Liu Jixiang just now, and he missed the opportunity to curry favor with the emperor, so he hurriedly wanted to express his expression at this time, and he responded and hurriedly pulled his legs.

…,

At this time, everyone knew that Emperor Zhengde was in a rage, so no one dared to go up to provoke, only the palace maid had been serving the emperor for many years, and she was a little favored, so she went up to comb the emperor's hair.

The ivory comb, which was as smooth as jade, swept through the white hair, but the palace maid was in a trance in her heart, and accidentally touched the back of the emperor's head.

At this moment, the back of Zhengde's head is hurting!

In fact, the specific painful place is called the occipital part, which is commonly known as the position of the anti-bone, people often say that there is a reflex bone in the back of the head, this person can't believe it, in fact, there is basically a protruding bone in the back of the head, that is, the anti-bone. The symptom of Emperor Zhengde was called occipital throbbing pain in later generations, which was not very serious, not the pain inside the brain, but the pain of the occipital muscles, but the pain was extremely uncomfortable, as if there were several big tendons in the head that were thrashing and constantly beating sharply.

Zhengde had a headache at this time, and because of the extreme upset of the affairs at the northwest border pass, it was the moment when he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and when he was touched like this, the whole person exploded like a volcanic eruption.

He stood up suddenly, and kicked the palace maid's lower abdomen with a fierce kick, the palace maid only felt a sharp pain coming from the lower abdomen, and couldn't help moaning in pain, but she quickly endured the pain and got up, the whole person knelt on the ground, her voice trembled, and she kowtowed again and again: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”

Emperor Zhengde had a headache, but when he stood up so suddenly, his blood pressure rose in an instant, and his head hurt even more as if he was about to crack, and he felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his body shook twice before he stood firm.

He kicked a kick and was still angry, and kicked the palace maid's head again, tilting the body of the palace maid, and hitting the head heavily on the gold brick as smooth as jade, and immediately broke the corner of his forehead, a wisp of blood flowed out, and the whole person fainted because of the heavy blow.

Emperor Zhengde's eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, and he said viciously: "Pull this cheap maid down to me and kill her with a cane!" ”

It's obviously the emperor's fault, this palace maid is just a little mistake, and she was dragged down to be beaten to death, it is really miserable, everyone has compassion in their hearts, but the emperor is angry at the moment, who dares to admonish? Don't want to die?

Liu Jixiang hurriedly pointed his fingers: "Didn't you hear the emperor's orders?" Hurry up, hurry up, pull down the cane and die! ”

The palace maid was pulled down, at this time, Emperor Zhengde suddenly felt a wave of nausea in his chest, and his head was about to explode, his body shook, and suddenly his throat was sweet, and he vomited, and a mouthful of blood gushed out. Then, it was dark in front of him, and the whole person shook and fell down.

"Emperor!" Liu Jixiang was frightened to death, and hurriedly rushed up with an arrow step, supporting Zhengde, his voice was already crying, and shouted: "Call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor!" (To be continued.)
