Chapter 713: Sacrifice (Part II)
"It's raining this time. + ..” The origin seemed to be very emotional.
Gao Yang retracted his gaze, lowered his head slightly and looked at his rain-soaked shoes, pursed the corners of his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "What is the explanation?" ”
"There has been so many days of drought in Jingshi, and there has been no sign of rain. However, when the army returned triumphantly, a large dark cloud pressed directly without warning. By the time the army entered the city, the rain was pouring down. Isn't that a hint? Origin said aloud.
"Wow." Gao Yang chuckled, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "You are really knowledgeable now." Do you even know this? Can you tell me what the signs are? Ask for popular science. ”
"Hmph." Yuan Dian didn't care about Gao Yang's jokes, but said in a serious tone, "Don't you think this is a sign of shame?" After this battle, everything that used to be was over. All the sorrows and pains of the past have been washed away. A new era has arrived. ”
Gao Yang took two puffs of his cigarette, reached out and pinched his chin, his gaze fluctuated. whispered, "It seems that this is really the case when you say that." He looked up at the dim sky and muttered, "Could it be that God is hinting at something?" ”
"yes, yes." Yuandian's voice immediately became excited, "I also feel that things are strange. This kind of thing should be a matter of probability. But this kind of small probability thing really happened, but it made people feel unstable. ”
"Aren't you a logic program? Will you also feel uneasy? What about teasing me? Gao Yang threw away the cigarette and said with a smile.
"Am I not discussing it with you?" Yuan Dian said with a smile: "Recently, I have carefully analyzed many ancient works of Yan Huang. It's like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Zhou Yi or something. I'll talk to you if I feel it. ”
Gao Yang stretched out his hand to cover his face, shook his head helplessly and said, "You go and open a fortune-telling parlor, take the route of mysticism, and only make a voice without people." With your profound knowledge and eloquence, as well as your unique ability to calculate, you will definitely be able to reach the moon. During the New Year's holidays, your fortune-telling parlor will be flooded with incense. ”
"I've really thought about it, when you don't want to planeswalk anymore. When your children didn't grow up, I went to open a fortune-telling parlor to tell people's fortunes. With my strong knowledge and computing skills. I don't dare to say anything else, it's no problem to count it as a ** not far from ten. The origin said confidently.
Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth and wrapped his arms around him. Hanging his head slightly, he lowered his gaze at the bricks of the ancient city wall that had been soaked by the rain. His gaze fluctuated slightly, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart at the moment.
And Emperor Chongzhen in the distance was still full of interest, surrounded by many civil and military officials, braving the baptism of wind and rain. Look at the strings of Manchu prisoners of war at your feet. Since the time and date of this sacrifice ceremony have been chosen, it is absolutely impossible to change it. Don't say it's just raining at the moment, even if it's raining, you have to keep going!
One after another, the Manchu magnates and magnates were all shivering in the heavy rain like chickens falling in soup at this moment. Even a brave and unparalleled person like Aobai, after experiencing such a long journey of torture. When he came to this Jingshi, who had often passed by before, he had already run out of oil and dried up. At the moment, even walking had to be dragged by the sergeants.
and those dressed in white on film and television. The prisoners with their hair scattered and a large prisoner character drawn on their chests were different. The Manchu prisoners of war were still wearing the same clothes as they had been captured. It's just that the long march has long been worn out. Because of the great blow to their spirits and mentalities, the mental outlook of these prisoners of war was very poor. Most people are dead-faced, and they can also anticipate their own end. After all, what they did when they won the battle before, they knew it very well in their hearts.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had been smiling, didn't know when his face had gradually converged. With one hand behind his waist, he strokes his beard with the other. He frowned slightly and looked at the prisoners of war below. Wang Chengen, who has great eyesight, has always hung his head, holding a canopy with both hands to shield the emperor, and he doesn't care if he is drenched in soup.
As for Wu Xiang, who has been chattering endlessly and boasting in the ears of Emperor Chongzhen, as if this great victory was fought by him. fell into Wang Chengen's eyes, like a clown jumping off the beam, which made people laugh. How it happened. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes are watching, how can you confuse the public by boasting a few words in front of the emperor? The main lord didn't speak, you are clamoring here for a long time, are you a fool to be the emperor? If you really are so useful. Do you have to wait until now to show your ability? Funny!
"Why didn't you see Zu Yi?" Zhu Youzhen, whose mood gradually turned cold, stopped Wu Xiang, who was foaming at the mouth, in a word.
Because of the proximity to the emperor, only Wu Xiang, who was wet in the rain on his right shoulder, stopped abruptly. His face turned red and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Time. I was stunned there.
"Hmph." Zhu Youzhen's cold snort made all the civil and military officials on the city wall instantly become honest. The joking of the previous jokes disappeared in an instant. The entire city wall fell silent. The wind and rain in the sky were accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the people below rejoiced and applauded. However, there was silence on the city wall, and the scene suddenly became a little strange.
"Back to the emperor." Just when Emperor Chongzhen's face gradually turned pale. Wang Chengen, who had been waiting on the side and didn't say anything, suddenly saluted and said loudly: "Wu Sangui, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, reported that Zu Dashou had the merit of spreading the enemy's situation during the battle of Ningyuan. Therefore, the national teacher did not sacrifice Zu Dashou as a prisoner of war for the time being. Instead, he waited for the emperor to decide whether he had made atonement. ”
"Hmm." Zhu Youzhen narrowed his eyes and responded lightly. Stretched out his hand and gently pinched the beard on his chin, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Gao Yang. Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly held the canopy to follow. Wu Xiang, who was pointing beside Emperor Chongzhen before, stood there stupidly. A group of people passed by, and no one looked at it. In everyone's eyes, he was nothing more than a clown.
Before coming to Gao Yang's side, Zhu Youzhen's face had already changed into a friendly smile. A few steps away, he already laughed out loud and said, "National teacher, national teacher, you are really the savior of our Ming Dynasty!" ”
Gao Yang chuckled and nodded, rubbing his eyebrows. With a chuckle, he said, "Your Majesty, after the sacrifice to the Taimiao." Do you have time for us to talk? ”
The civil and military officials who heard Gao Yang's words had different expressions on their faces. It's just that the emotions of surprise can't be run. None of those who have the courage to talk to the emperor like this are ordinary characters. This mysterious national teacher is really not ordinary. Just rushing this guts is enough to make people look sideways.
What made the civil and military officials who didn't know the details even more shocked, and Emperor Chongzhen, who had always had a bad temper, didn't seem to feel Gao Yang's disrespect at all. Still smiling, he nodded and came to Gao Yang's side. took the cigarette handed by Gao Yang, lit it, and the two smoked it together. Wang Chengen looked loyal, standing aside and holding a canopy. It's like an old butler who follows his master to the street. When the master met his friends and chatted happily, he held an umbrella beside him.
So many civil and military ministers on the city wall were all dumbfounded. What is the origin of this national teacher? It's all like this in front of the emperor? This shelf is a little bigger, right? The most shocking thing is that Emperor Chongzhen, who killed ministers like slaughtering dogs in the past, didn't mind Gao Yang's disrespect at all, and had a good conversation with this national teacher. It's a shattered eyeball!
The most frightened person is naturally Wu Xiang. He finally felt that he had behaved like a clown. jumped up and down for so long, but in the end, he found that the audience didn't even look at him. The combat power of the new army is so terrifying, and he, Wu Xiang, is not a fool, of course he wants to take it into his own hands. Performing in front of the emperor before was a foreshadowing to prepare for the start. It's a pity that before he could say his slanderous words, he was kicked into the abyss by the cruel reality!
......
The so-called sacrificial temple is just a gorgeous show. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di have been dead for so many years, where can they still see the brilliant achievements of future generations? It's just a show for everyone to see. It's just that the scale of this show is very large.
Braving the heavy rain, a large group of people were there to pay homage to their ancestors. He said what brilliant achievements he had made, and hoped that the ancestors would bless their children and grandchildren with a smooth and prosperous eternal life.
Emperor Chongzhen and a large group of civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles read the sacrifice in the rain. And most of the prisoners of war who were sacrificed knelt there with expressionless faces. Let the rain wash over your body. Waiting for their last moment.
There are also those brave people who are fierce by nature and are unwilling to die. Struggling in the rain to get up and make a desperate fight. It is a pity that the torture of the long long march, the lack of food and water, has already tormented these brave and fearless Manchu warriors. They staggered to their feet, and before they could make any moves, the Han generals who were supervising on the side had already stepped forward quickly and knocked them down! If you fall this time, you will never be able to stand up again. Those Han generals with bright armor may not be able to go into battle, but there is no problem in dealing with these prisoners of war who are bound by chains.
These sacrificed prisoners of war were all Manchu and Mongolian magnates and people of high rank. Ordinary Manmeng Yuding, marching soldiers, armor soldiers, and so on were all staying in the makeshift prisoner of war camp outside the city. They are not qualified enough to be sacrificed to the temple.
Originally, it was still going to be the first level. But there were too many decapitations in this battle. This procedure was omitted, and so many heads were directly disposed of as merit.
The original practice of passing on the first nine sides can no longer be carried out. Many places on the Nine Sides had fallen into the hands of traitors such as Li Zicheng at this time. Even if they send it, they won't look at it. (To be continued.) )
