Chapter 130: Happy Events in the Palace

Beijing City, more than 200 years of development, let here become the most prosperous city in the world, only the population of the city has reached more than one million, which seems nothing now, a medium-sized city has a population of more than one million, but you must know that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the whole world is only 5 or 600 million, the entire Central Plains plus the population under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a total of less than 100 million people, which shows that the city that can accommodate one million people, the weight at that time.

It's just that this city, with the glory of the Ming Dynasty is no longer there, and slowly ended, last year, that is, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, a large-scale plague, swept the entire city of Beijing, just counting the number of deaths in the register has reached more than 200,000, you know, more than 200,000 people, but a small point of the entire population of the state capital.

This plague, coupled with the news of Li Zicheng's attack with a large army, made many people in Beijing flee frantically, and in a short period of time, the entire city of Beijing became desolate overnight, and the original bustling street market became depressed.

"Crackle, crackle"

In the Forbidden City in the center of Beijing, there has been a lively burst since the morning, originally, as Li Zicheng's army is getting closer and closer, Emperor Chongzhen's originally irritable temper has become even worse, these days, there are more than ten eunuchs and palace maids who have been killed.

Under the pressure of Emperor Chongzhen, who would dare to be so presumptuous in the Forbidden City, but today is different, today is a rare good day, Emperor Chongzhen married his daughter, when Emperor Chongzhen married his eldest daughter Princess Changping to Zhou Xian, the commander of the horse, the hundred officials knew that this day was not far away, but they did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen would choose to marry his daughter at this juncture.

But no matter what these officials think, the emperor's marriage is a big deal after all, as long as they are in front of the Ming Dynasty for a day, they have to do what they have to do, and the lively scene of the princess's wedding has indeed made the originally depressed Beijing City a little more vibrant, many people who love to watch the excitement even waited early on the road that the princess was going to pass through, ready to take a look at this grand scene, after all, from the later years of Shenzong, to the present more than 20 years, it has been a long time since the princess has been married.

"Sister, do you really want to marry that Zhou Xian? But if that's the case, won't you never see Brother Shi again, in that case, isn't Brother Shi miserable? ”

Seeing her sister dressed as a bride in a costume, Zhu Weier, who usually likes to be lively the most, did not have the slightest joy unusually, but said with a worried look on her face.

Hearing Zhu Weier's words, sitting there like a delicate porcelain doll, the lifeless Zhu Weiyuan finally had a trace of emotion on her face, but after a long time, except for leaving two crystal tears in the corners of her eyes and two tear stains on her face, she didn't say anything, but, her palm couldn't help but grab a bag, that was the peace charm she asked for for that person, she always hoped to be able to give it to him one day, but unfortunately, this wish was destined to be unfulfilled in her life.

Seeing her sister who was just crying silently, but always silent, the anxious Zhu Weier couldn't help but feel even more irritable in her heart, after thinking for a long time, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she secretly looked around, and then leaned over to Zhu Weiyuan's ear and whispered

"Sister, why don't we escape, let's go to Yulin to find Brother Shi, I believe that Brother Shi will be very happy when he sees us." Anyway, you don't like that Zhou Xian, if you really marry him, you will definitely be sad in the future, if that's the case, I will also be unhappy, how about it, do you say it's good. ”

Hearing Zhu Weier's plan, which seemed to be a joke, Zhu Wei's eyes couldn't help but glow, but soon, she was silent again, if she was like Zhu Weier, a little girl who had no burden, she might really follow Zhu Weier's words and run away from the marriage.

But she can't, because she is the princess of the dynasty, the eldest daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, she knows better than anyone else about the current state of the world, even her father is not as clear as her, because her father is the emperor, and although the emperor is nominally the most powerful person in the world, he is also the most pathetic person, as if many things are known to everyone, and he is still kept in the dark.

Therefore, as the eldest princess, even if she can't do anything big for her father and the emperor, she can't cause trouble for them at this time, so that the Zhu family's dynasty, which is already in danger, will completely fall.

Seeing her sister who was still silent, Zhu Weier was depressed and wanted to drop something, helpless, she took a few deep breaths before she spoke, "Sister, what should I do, what are you going to say, if you need anything, my little sister will definitely do it for you, but if you don't speak like this, do you really want to marry Zhou Xian, who looks like a woman?" ”

If according to the words of later generations, Zhu Weier's temperament is a bit rebellious, so in her eyes, the honest and taciturn Zhou Xian is a bit like a woman.

"Hey, Anton, don't say more, since the day my father decreed, I have been a member of the Zhou family, and I also know that this day will come sooner or later, if I wanted to do something, I would have done it a long time ago, and I didn't have to wait until now, but unfortunately, as children, our marriage is the words of the matchmaker of our parents, and it is not our turn to call the shots, so everything between me and Brother Shi has passed, this is all God's arrangement, and we can't change it at all." Zhu Weiyuan finally spoke, but there was no trace of emotion in her tone.

Hearing Zhu Weiyuan's words, Zhu Wei'er, who was originally angry, was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly, "But it's not fair, it's not fair to you, it's not fair to Brother Shi, didn't you promise Brother Shi that you will wait for him to come back, I believe he will definitely come back, when the time comes, what should you do." ”

"Hey, hey, sometimes there must be in life, there is no time in life to ask, if we really have fate, we will definitely meet, if we don't have fate, then in the next life, I will repay him even if I am a cow and a horse." Zhu Weiyuan looked at the bronze mirror, smiled brightly, and then returned to the same state, that smile, she left it to him in her heart.

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the newlyweds get on the sedan chair and set off." Just as Zhu Weier was about to persuade her sister, a shrill voice came from outside the hall, and after hearing the voice, she saw several palace maids walking in quickly from the outside and began to invite Zhu Weiyuan to get into the sedan chair.

"Okay, Anton, my sister is gone, remember to listen to my father and mother in the palace in the future, now there are many things in the world itself, don't be so naughty as before."

Seeing her sister slowly walking into the huge sedan chair, and slowly walking farther and farther, Zhu Weier, who never knew what it was called, felt a burst of grievances in her chest, as if there was something, but she couldn't spit it out, which made her very uncomfortable

"General, it's not good, we're surrounded, we're surrounded, what to do, what to do."

Under the city of Xi'an, Yuan Zongdi, who was originally in high spirits with 30,000 people and wanted to completely annihilate Dong Qi and others under the city of Xi'an, looked at the dazzling Ming banner hanging at the head of the city, and the increasingly tight encirclement of the army behind him, his eyes were angry and his eyes were almost broken, but for everything in front of him, he couldn't figure out how the originally good Xi'an City suddenly changed hands, and how he changed from a cat catching mice to a turtle in an urn.

"Hahahaha, General Yuan came from afar, Tong Mou, as a landlord, is really disappointed, and I hope the general will take care of it."

In the face of this huge change in front of him, Yuan Zongdi had not yet reacted when he heard such words coming from above the city of Xi'an.

Looking up, Yuan Zongdi saw a middle-aged man in a scribe's uniform, standing on top of the city, looking at himself with a smile, and he was already surrounded by soldiers with bows and arrows, waiting for an order, ready to discover a thunderous attack.

"Who are you, why did you appear in Xi'an City, and what did you do to the queen mother and General Gao, why did you use the banner of Daming, what are you doing unsavedly." Seeing that the scribe who seemed to be the main master, although his side was at a disadvantage, the mentality cultivated after years of fighting made Yuan Zongdi still have to figure out the situation before deciding on the next move.

"Hahaha, General Lao Yuan asked, the old man's surname is Tong Mingzhong, the word is Chenfu, now he is just a little master of Lord Lingshi in Yulin City County, but it can't be compared with General Yuan, as for the queen mother and General Gao who General Yuan asked, it is now the city to recuperate, and please General Yuan don't worry." Tong Chenfu said with a smile, being able to trap the famous general of the Dashun Army here with his own hands, and there is a great possibility that he will be caught with his own hands, Tong Chenfu is also happy in his heart.

Hearing that the queen and Gao Ligong were safe and sound, Yuan Zongdi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but when he thought that these people were people from Yulin City, he immediately didn't believe it in his heart, you know, although Yulin City is relatively strong, but there are not so many soldiers and horses at all, otherwise, when he was trapped in Yulin City, these soldiers and horses would have already gone out to fight him, how could he tolerate them besieging Yulin City for nearly a month, but there was no movement, this is also impossible to think about, because normal people will not do this.
