readx; "Long live the royal driver, in Qian'an, the big Tartar, today the holy car is finally going back to Beijing!"

On the tenth day of October in the sixth year of the Emperor's reign, braving the severe cold of more than ten degrees below zero, the Beijing division was empty, and hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously flocked to the Taiping Gate of the east gate of the new outer city from all directions to welcome the Holy Driver of Emperor Chongzhen, and watched the triumphant Ming army hold a ceremony to enter the city, which is a beautiful scene that has not been encountered for decades or even hundreds of years.

The cabinet, the six ministries, the five monasteries, and all the officials of the institutions in Beijing also came to the Taiping Gate early to greet the holy driver. What is particularly striking is that the queen, Concubine De, Concubine Li, Concubine Yuan and other harem concubines also took the phoenix to greet them outside the city gate, and even the concubine Qi Meifeng, who had just given birth, also appeared in the welcoming procession. They smiled and waved to the excited people, which also relieved people's anxiety caused by waiting.

Of course, not everyone is so concerned about driving. Many people not only did not go to Taipingmen, but instead picked up the more remote restaurants and tea shops to hold a party, complaining angrily that the emperor acted rudely and forcibly requisitioned grain. If you borrow it, you must repay it, but in this kind of year, I don't know how long it will take to pay it back? Even if they paid it back, it delayed them from taking the opportunity to sell at a high price, so the loss was even more staggering.

Some people even scolded Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng and others, accusing them of strictly implementing the emperor's retreat order, so that their mansions were looted by the Tartars. There are also people who have suffered heavy losses in the investigation of the "Huangzhuang Surrender" case, and naturally they are also full of complaints, and today's long live is not a benevolent monarch at all, I am afraid that he will have a fight with Zhu Houzhao, the martial artist of this dynasty, who is greedy and lustful. Of course, they would never dare to say these whining words casually in front of people, otherwise if the people heard it, they would have to scold them, or even punch them a few times to relieve their anger.

It was nearly noon, and suddenly a scout cavalry Pegasus came to report: The royal car has arrived five miles away. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy with the band playing Huang Zhong Dalu, and at the same time, the Yuan Rong cannon at the head of the city also fired the cannon.

The people hurriedly stretched their necks to look east, only to see a large number of officers and soldiers slowly coming west from the official road. At the front of the road were two hundred horsemen on Andalusian horses, followed by five hundred Kanning horsemen, and then mule carts carrying cannons. The infantry with bird-carrying guns lined up on both sides and marched with high morale.

When they reached a distance of about a mile from the Taiping Gate, the whole army suddenly sang the > of "Triumphant Song".

"All the people are united in their hearts and the mountains can be shaken, but loyalty and righteousness are angry and bullfighting. The Lord will kiss me like a parent, and he will not be free to violate military law. The order is clear and the letter of reward and punishment is clear, and he dares to stay late when he goes to the water and fire; Report to Zixi to save the head of Qian, and kill all the captives to find a marquis! ”

Others listened to it, but Concubine Qi Meifeng was already moved to tears, because this "Triumphant Song" was composed by her great-grandfather, the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang. Now that only two words have been changed, his favorite husband has let the soldiers sing this song into the city, showing the bravery, loyalty and heroism of the Ming soldiers at the same time, it is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Qi Jiguang, a controversial famous general.

Behind the artillery carriage, Zhu Youzhen's Luan driver finally appeared. On the left side of Luanjia, there are four tower-like generals of Hao Yongzhong, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao; On the right side of Luan's drive, there are Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, Ma Qianxue, and Meng Gong, four rising new generals of the Ming Empire.

And on the Luan driver, wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, sitting on the front of the precarious, since he was the new master of the Ming Empire, he had just ascended the throne for less than a year, but he had already driven three personal expeditions, and finally annihilated the emperor Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Qing army. Although he is only seventeen years old this year, the calm bearing of the king's landing still deeply impressed hundreds of thousands of people, and all the hulala knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!! ”

At this time, Shoufu Han hurriedly led the officials above the fourth grade to come forward to greet him, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites took out the prepared document and was about to read it in public, but Zhu Youzhen smiled and waved his hand and said: "No need to read it, few people can understand it." The air is cold, and the simpler the ritual, the better. ”

Li Laiheng on the side understood Zhu Youzhen's thoughts best, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "We have won!" The dog Tartar has escaped! Dear fathers, celebrate to your heart's content! ”

The atmosphere of the audience was ignited immediately, and in the wave after wave of cheers, the Ming army happily entered the city. Regardless of whether they knew it or not, the onlookers excitedly waved to the soldiers, and the soldiers responded with hearty laughter, warm high-fives and even hugs. There are also many people who are overjoyed to blow the suona and play the three strings, and the vicinity of the Taiping Gate has become a sea of joy!

Many officials are frowning and shaking their heads, they always think that the ceremony of entering the city should be solemn, what kind of style is it to laugh and shout, gongs and drums like this? Zhu Youzhen saw their reactions, and while sneering in his heart, he asked Luan to move forward at the slowest speed, and kept waving to the people on both sides. The vast majority of the people were excited and moved when they saw their faces, with smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes; However, there were also a very small number of people who kept silent with wooden faces, while the soldiers of the Imperial City Guard Regiment around Luan Jia were all unsmiling, staring at the crowd with high vigilance, in case some despicable people took advantage of the crowd to create chaos and disadvantage the emperor.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen saw Rui'er and Qi Meifeng from afar, and he wanted to rush to their side with an arrow step, kiss them fiercely one by one, and express his guilt for them. However, in this kind of scene, he was not allowed to do this, so Zhu Youzhen had to give Rui'er and them an apologetic smile. Rui'er also smiled shyly at him, really glamorous peach blossoms.

Suddenly, two young girls dressed in European court costumes came to Luan, and one of them, a girl with curly flaxen hair, excitedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Emperor, congratulations on your victory over a powerful enemy!" Before coming to China, I heard from some Portuguese that the Chinese emperor would only hide in his ornate palaces to enjoy the food and beautiful women, and was not willing or afraid to go to the front line to fight the enemy. Now I can tell them: you are all wrong, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the bravest monarch! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that it was Anna and Qiu Lina, and the two daughters' costumes stood out in the crowd, which naturally attracted a lot of curious eyes. Especially the women's European court dresses are off-the-shoulder, and the two of them are not too cold, each showing a round incense, which makes many officials and gentry frown, and they have turned their faces away, but they can't help but peek at it from the corner of their eyes, which really makes people laugh.

Zhu Youzhen was also very happy to see the second daughter, and asked with concern: "Anna, your arrow wound has healed?" ”

Anna was shocked: "Your Majesty the Emperor, do your words still count?" ”
