Five-ninety-eight, mountain rain and dark clouds are off for a while (2)

"Obstacle, waste, fool!"

In recent days, Chongzhen's temper has not been very good, if he hadn't persuaded the shore to slip, the palace maids and eunuchs who escaped from the palace with him would have been killed.

However, everyone also understood why he was so angry, although Chongzhen was under house arrest on Tamna Island, but in fact, his personal freedom was restricted by not being allowed to leave the island, and when he was wandering around Yicheng, there was not even anyone to watch. However, Chongzhen also understood his situation, and he never went around proclaiming that he was Emperor Chongzhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow - after confirming the loyalty of the people of Yicheng to Yu Guozhen, he would not do such a stupid thing.

This makes him sometimes have a sad feeling in his heart, he has been the emperor for 16 years, and the Ming Dynasty has been a monk for 260 years, but he can't match Yu Guozhen's operation for ten years, and Yicheng has only been in business for six or seven years.

But sadness is sadness, although his "disloyalty" to Yu Guozhen is resentful and hateful, he also knows that he can't do Yu Guozhen if he changes himself. What really made him angry and irritable was the news in the newspapers for more than a month: the three towns of Jiangbei met with Li Zicheng to besiege the east of the mountain.

If there is anyone in the world who Chongzhen can never forgive, it is Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng, who drove him out of the Forbidden City and almost pushed him into a desperate situation, is the number one mortal enemy in Chongzhen's mind, and the second is not Yu Guozhen's turn, or even Jianyu's turn, but the current Hongguang Emperor of the former Fu King who is now in Jinling City.

The third enemy is the civil and military ministers who Chongzhen thought had mistaken him. No. 4 is Jianyu, and Yu Guozhen can only be ranked No. 5 at most - even in Chongzhen's heart, there is still some gratitude to Yu Guozhen. At least Yu Guozhen saved the lives of his whole family, and gave him and his concubines and children corresponding courtesy.

After considering Chongzhen's concerns, his children could not enter ordinary schools, Yu Guozhen asked Jiang'an to organize teachers to make up lessons for these princes and princesses. Chongzhen also listened to a few classes. It is indeed some practical truths that are taught, and there is also moral education, which is to select the good ones from the views of Confucius, Mencius, Lao, Zhuang, Mo, and other schools of war, and gather in one place to teach them.

At least there is no harm in such learning.

But now, his second and third enemies have joined forces to attack Yu Guozhen, and what is behind this. It is clear that the small court of Jinling did not take Li Chuang's "death" to heart about him.

"Your Majesty don't be angry, with the power of Nanhai Bo. Are you afraid of a little jumping clown? Empress Zhou said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is now overseas. Be careful of anger and hurt your body, if Your Majesty has any accident, wouldn't it be the right thing for some people? ”

Originally, she never asked about government affairs, but now Chongzhen has no one around him who can be trusted, and there are some things that can only be discussed with her.

"Hmph."

Chongzhen was still angry, at this moment. I heard hurried footsteps outside, and then. Wang Chengen rushed in with a surprised face: "Emperor, Emperor." Someone asked to see him. ”

"I don't see you." Chongzhen is still angry.

Queen Zhou smiled: "Wang Daban, who is asking to see?" ”

"Will be ...... Will shore! Wang Chengen stammered for a while, and finally said the name of the person who asked to see him.

"What about others?" When Chongzhen heard that it was Jiang'an, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.

This young governor of Tamna is really a talented scholar of the pavilion, but unfortunately, he is loyal to Yu Guozhen and cannot be used by Chongzhen. Chongzhen sometimes felt that if he had obtained these people earlier, his country would not have the bleak situation it is in today.

"The others have not yet arrived, but they have sent someone and said that they will come later."

"It's such a big shelf, and you're still waiting for him, aren't you?" Chongzhen was even more angry: "No, no!" ”

"The emperor, the person who sent me said that it was not to slack off on the shore, but to ...... I want to bring an acquaintance of the emperor, so I sent someone to greet him, I don't know if the emperor can take the time to meet. ”

Wang Chengen also muttered to himself in his heart, although during this time, Jiang'an would come to see Chongzhen about every six or seven days, and the two talked about some overseas customs and other topics, and then asked Chongzhen what he needed in life, and at the same time took away the manuscript written by Chongzhen. But it was the first time that I had said in advance that I was going to visit, and I had to bring acquaintances...... I don't know who it will bring.

It didn't take long for the two carriages to come one after the other to the three villas where Chongzhen lived. The car had just stopped, and a fat man rolled out of the car, his movements so sensitive that they were completely inversely proportional to his body. When Wang Chengen saw the figure of this fat man, he was stunned for a moment, and then howled: "Grandpa Cao, why are you?" ”

Getting off the first carriage was none other than Cao Huachun, the former factory governor.

Cao Huachun saw Wang Chengen, and his face was irrepressibly happy: "Chengen, it's really you, you are really still alive, the emperor, the emperor......"

"The emperor is well, the holy bow is well!" Wang Chengen suppressed the urge to cry with joy: "I still talked about you this morning, come with me to meet the emperor!" ”

He thought that the "acquaintance" Jiang An was talking about was Cao Huachun, so he didn't pay attention to the car behind him, in addition to Jiang An, there was also a person who followed.

Cao Huachun was introduced, Chongzhen heard the movement early, learned that it was Cao Huachun, and even went to the door in person. This is also a change in Chongzhen himself after the great change, if he is in the Forbidden City, where will he personally go to greet a eunuch.

Seeing that it was really Chongzhen, Cao Huachun suddenly burst into tears, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Emperor, slave maid, slave maid, slave maid still thought that he would never see the emperor again!" ”

"You're okay, that's good, that's good!" Chongzhen motioned to Wang Chengen to pull him up: "Why did you come here?" ”

"The slave and the maid also want the emperor to be the master of the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid have been old, originally at home to guard the tomb of the brother, heard that the Beijing master was shocked, the slave and the maid wanted to enter Beijing to see the emperor, but was blocked by the rebels, and then the army of thieves passed through the slave and the maid's hometown, and the slave and the maid had to escape...... As a result, the slave maid heard in the middle of the road that King Fu of Jinling City ascended the throne, and a group of literati also said that the slave maid opened the gate of the outer city and put the thief into the capital. The slave and maid are really wronged...... I also heard that Nanhai Bo was in the east of the mountain. The slave and maid came to find Nanhai Bo, thinking of begging him to argue for the slave and maid, Nanhai Bo saw the slave and maid, and without saying a word, he tied the slave and maid and sent him to the boat, I thought that Nanhai Bo was evil, but I didn't think that I was sending the slave and maid to see the emperor, I knew why he was tied up, and the slave and maid tied two sheep urine bubbles on their bodies and drifted across the sea to see the emperor......

He babbled. Chongzhen couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and was about to say a few more words to him, when he suddenly saw Jiang An and the people around Jiang An.

His body shook suddenly, and he saw that the man was also trembling all over, and he fell to his knees in excitement.

"Shen Youlong, the guilty minister, knock on my majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Mr. Shen ...... You also voted for Nanhai Bo? When Chongzhen said this. Somewhat sad: "Not bad, not bad." At least it's better than voting for the thief and Zhu Yousong. ”

"The sinners don't dare. It was Fang Kongzhi who led the Nanhai Bo guards to occupy the capital of Guangzhou's state and put the ministers in Tamluolai. The look on Shen Youlong's face was really both ashamed and unwilling, and he was also a little happy: "Your Majesty is really healthy, minister...... The minister has lived up to the high expectations of the saint, and he really has no face to see His Majesty! ”

"Healthy, healthy, I'm very healthy here. Every day, when I am well fed, clothed, and drunk, I have to practice the five poultry plays, and my body is more than ten pounds fatter than before I left Beijing. How is it not healthy? In the capital, there are you ministers of the feudal lords. I can't get fat anymore, but now I'm alone overseas, but I'm fat, how can I not be healthy? ”

Chongzhen's words were still full of resentment, but this resentment was not directed at Yu Guozhen, but at Shen Youlong and a group of ministers represented by Shen Youlong.

Shen Youlong also saw that Chongzhen had indeed gained weight, and he was even more ashamed: "The ministers should die!" ”

"Well, what are you doing with these useless words...... How did you guys get here? ”

"It was sent by the South China Sea Bo Chen." Shen Youlong didn't know what Yu Guozhen's plans were, since Chongzhen was still there, the small court in Jinling City lacked legal justice, no wonder Yu Guozhen didn't take them seriously at all. However, Yu Guozhen rescued Chongzhen, neither announcing that the world was holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes, nor escorting him to Jinling to re-ascend the great treasure, but he was placed in this overseas island, I don't know what the intention was.

Especially let a minister who is loyal to Chongzhen come to see Chongzhen, behind this...... What's the plan?

He couldn't help but look at Jiang'an.

"Your Majesty and the old man must have something to say, so I will retire for the time being." Jiang An said with a smile but not a smile.

After he finished speaking, he really left, and he didn't seem to be worried at all about Shen Youlong and Cao Huachun and others making plans for Chongzhen to escape from Tamna Island.

Shen Youlong and Cao Huachun also grew up in an environment of intrigue, how could they be so naΓ―ve, they talked about how to escape as soon as they met, they just asked Chongzhen about his life in Tamna, and learned that Yu Guozhen not only couldn't help him go out, but even couldn't help him contact the sergeants and officers of Tamna Island. does not isolate the inside and outside, and does not let Chongzhen know the news of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that in addition to not being able to leave Tamna, Chongzhen's situation at this time is no different from that of all the people under the Xinxiang system.

"What does Nanhai Bo mean?" After going around in a circle, Shen Youlong asked vaguely, "Is Your Majesty wishful here?" ”

"Nanhaibo thinks that I am not a good emperor, so he let me reflect here for a while." Chongzhen said lightly: "I also feel that it is indeed necessary to reflect on why the Ming Dynasty has become what it is now in my hands, whether it is my responsibility or the responsibility of the rest, I don't want to understand, even if I return to the mainland, I will still end up in a ruined country." ”

Chongzhen's attitude surprised Shen Youlong even more, in his impression, Chongzhen was stubborn and self-serving, and he was by no means a person who would sincerely introspect.

At this moment, Wang Chengen, who began to run to the door, ran back again: "Your Majesty, the governor has come to ask to see you again." ”

"Oh? What is the matter with him going and returning? Chongzhen was a little puzzled.

Then the shore was brought in, and his expression was very pleasant: "There is something, I have just received the news, I think it is necessary to inform Your Majesty." ”

"What?" Chongzhen asked.

"Li Zicheng is dead, after being defeated by my family officials in Yanggu, he was killed by several farmers in the rout, and he has been sacrificed in front of my family officials."

"What!" Chongzhen, Shen Youlong, and Cao Huachun all shouted in unison.

This was expected by Jiangan, and he handed over a small box in his hand: "Please see." (To be continued)
