Yanjing, the Forbidden City.

In the mule carriage, pushing the gold and silver utensils wrapped in cloth bags, treasures and treasures, eunuchs and palace maids, chaotic and coaxing, one by one the appearance of a catastrophe, and even pushing each other, over there, several eunuchs and palace maids rolled together, more than a dozen zhang away is the emperor, but they are as if they have not seen it.

The so-called catastrophe is coming, and that's it.

The six kings looked at the picture of chickens flying and dogs jumping for their lives in front of them, and slowly closed their eyes.

"Your Majesty, let's go." On the side of urging the six kings is the Minister of Military Aircraft Gui Liang, the south rebel saw that the army was approaching the city, the war in Shaanxi and Gansu was unfavorable, the road to the west was blocked, and now the only way to retreat to the outside of the pass.

The six kings bowed slightly, and then sighed softly in their hearts. I remember that I was eight years old that year, Jingxiang was seven years old, and I saw him handsome, and I had a good impression of him, and I wanted to tell him that one day I would take myself to fight crickets. Who knew that he said childishly that he was "ambitious and talented", and he also argued with himself about the study of Confucius and Mencius, and his words were unheard of, which was completely different from the books, but it was very reasonable, and he was speechless, although there was no one present at the time, this was a humiliation that he could not forget in his life.

Since then, the more I look at him as a person, the more I feel that he is like a painted skin, a ghost, who does not learn and does not know what to pretend to be in his bones.

Looking at it now, I really expected it, this thief, could it be that God came down from heaven to destroy my Manchu country?

"Your Majesty, these mule carts can't go far, just smash them!" Gui Liang looked at the carriages one by one, knowing this situation, but he was afraid that he would be caught by Nan Reverse before he reached the gate. Instead of leaving these treasures to Jing Xiang, it is better to smash them and scatter them in two.

The six kings were silent for a long time and said, "Forget it, let's all stay." ”

Gui Liang was stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and ordered the waiter to say a few words, and the waiter took the order and left.

"Your Majesty, what about Su Shun and Chongqi?" Gui Liang asked again. Needless to say, Su Shun is Jing Xiang's brother-in-law, who was the commander of the infantry army and a member of the yamen, and was dismissed after the outbreak of the Northern and Southern War.

The six kings shook their heads: "It's up to them." ”

Seeing this, Gui Liang sighed in his heart, Your Majesty, it seems that he has no heart, and all thoughts are lost. But also, the flag man himself has been messed up. Prince Rui Renshou, he has long been relieved, and he died in Yanjing City, and he talked about it in private, now he loves the Xinjueluo family, and Jingxiang is prosperous, as long as the emperor abdicates, it is still our Manchurian country. Isn't that a bastard?

Viscount Brin, who was standing on the other side of the six kings, took off his hat and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please rest assured, even if you can't hold it outside the pass, our country will protect the safety of Your Majesty the Emperor, and Your Majesty the Emperor can go to Rovsk or Magadan to establish a political axe in exile, and our country will definitely do its best to help His Majesty the Emperor restore the country." ”

The six kings glanced at him, turned around and went outside, and the eunuch next to him immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, get up!" ”

Viscount Brin smiled bitterly, knowing that the Chinese emperor had a bad impression of him, but he could listen to his advice, the secret message from Rovsk, if the Chinese emperor refused to go to Guanwai, then he could only be kidnapped by force.

The ministers hurriedly followed behind the six kings, and outside the Taihe Gate, the chariot and horse honor guard stopped for a long time.

Ye Zhao rode his horse and walked on the official road to Yanjing.

Columns of soldiers in gray military uniforms with leggings and rifles on their backs marched quickly, passing by Ye Zhao's motorcade. In the rear, the loud military song resounded in the fields, "Huazhou has never been to the top of Kunlun, the rivers and lakes are vast and the mountains are continuous, Xunhua donates, Kaiyaotian, hundreds of millions of years!" The imperial sky is protected, the sky is high, and the sea is surging! ”

There is also a song: "Today, when the Holy Virtue Lord meets, Linlang will increase the price tenfold, I will ride a lion over Kunlun and fly a crane to the Pacific Ocean!" Who is with me, sword wielding! Yi Zhen Great National! Who is with me, advocating Qing Shengping! ”

The singing was loud and passionate, and Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel his blood surging when he heard it.

It's just that the second song is obviously mythologizing him, there is no way, not only is the military song being deified, but the newspapers are also building momentum, describing the regent as the holy lord of all ethnic groups descended from heaven, and he is preparing for Ye Zhao to change the national system.

Ye Zhao relied on simplicity, and the soldiers who hurried past in front of his convoy did not know that the regent was beside the team.

A fast horse came in front of the convoy, and when he arrived at the front of the convoy, the commander turned over and rolled off his horse, took two quick steps, came to the horse team, and bowed down to report the military situation.

At the head of the caravan was a commander, who said nothing, turned his horse's head, and hurried to the regent.

But it was the six kings who abandoned Yanjing and fled, and there was already chaos in the Beijing Division.

Now the Red Lady Department did not eagerly break through Baoding Mansion, but sent two infantry regiments to attack Zhangjiakou and Chengde Mansion, that is, to prepare to close the siege and trap the six kings in Beijing, but they didn't want him to see the opportunity early.

The Qing Emperor did not have the backbone of the Son of Heaven guarding the country and the king dying, and the escape of the six kings was expected by Ye Zhao.

Thinking about the grievances and grievances with the six kings, Ye Zhao couldn't help but shake his head, as if he was in a relationship with him, only when he was very young, he had just come to this world, and when he saw the legendary devil six, he couldn't help but feel a little agitated, and chatted with him a few more words, but he forgot what to talk about, these years, I don't know how, he gradually became a mortal enemy.

The military newspaper reported one by one, the six kings fled, the banner soldiers, the new army, and the green battalion in Zhili collapsed, and the new army of the northern country stationed in the Xianghe area in front of them had raised the white flag from the pillbox and surrendered.

The defenders in the area of the Yongding River Guanting surrendered, and the defenders of the Jingang Bridge in the North Canal were dispersed.

Listening to the military reports, Ye Zhao was silent.

…… In September 1862, Su Hongniang's troops of the Pingyuan Army came to Yanjing City, and Prince Rui Renshou, Minister of Military Aircraft Du Han and other powerful ministers of the clan led the soldiers and civilians of the city out of the city to surrender.

Two days later, the regent of the southern kingdom entered Yanjing City, and said that the Tongzhi Emperor of Jinling announced his abdication, and the Chan Emperor was located in the regent Aixin Jueluo? Jingxiang.

The palace of Prince Zheng in the capital became Ye Zhao's temporary palace.

In the resplendent Yin'an Palace, Ye Zhaozheng is smiling and talking to others, it is his sister Shuzhen and brother-in-law Chongqi.

I haven't seen my sister for nearly ten years, looking at the young woman's style lightly described by Shuzhen Fandel, and faintly finding traces of the immature and cute round face in the past, Ye Zhao sighed: "Old sister, do you miss your brother?" "When my sister was not married, she followed Ye Zhao all day long to be a little slug, Ye Zhao also took her to fight crickets, for this, my sister was beaten by the prince, but took my sister out to go crazy Ye Zhao, the prince did not blame a word, but Shuzhen admired this brother the most, and when she was at home, she also liked to listen to her brother shouting that her old sister was grabbing her pigtails to play.

At this time, Shuzhen's eyes turned red and said, "Your Majesty ......"

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "Don't shout like that." ”

Chongqi hurriedly said: "Yes, ...... Emperor, isn't His Highness just pushing it up?" ”

Little Brother Zen position, Ye Zhao wrote an excerpt to persuade him to take back his fate, one is to take the form, and the other is the initial decision of the capital, everything is not settled, the Forbidden City, Yuanming, Summer Palace and Zhuyuan Gardens will be busy for a while, not to mention the preparation for the enthronement ceremony, which will take time.

Moreover, the capital is now under the curfew of the military, and the people are panicking, and it also takes time to maintain stability, and at the same time to clear the enemy in the city, and the six kings in the city are indispensable to leave behind and prepare to assassinate themselves.

Listening to Chongqi's words, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "You, I don't mean that, I still like to hear Shuzhen call my brother, this emperor is screaming, family affection, and it is a little bit gone." ”

"Brother......" Shuzhen began to wipe her tears.

Ye Zhao patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's good to be safe, these words can wronged you." Shuzhen has been hiding in the countryside for several months, and she is frightened, and she has lost a lot of weight.

Chongqi has always tried his best to run errands for the northern country, and he was very popular with the six kings back then, but when the war between the north and the south was tight, no one could say what would happen in the future, so Chongqi secretly sent Shuzhen to the countryside to hide.

"Let's go, let's go see the second uncle." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Shuzhen wiped her tears with a handkerchief and nodded slightly. I really didn't expect my brother to be the emperor, but looking at the heavily armored guards in the house, I had to let her know that her brother was no longer what it used to be.

In the circle of the capital, the image of the elder brother is also said to be three changes, at the beginning, he was said to be ruthless, disobedient and chaotic, and then it was to deceive the king and extort the ministers, and recently, the aristocratic circle in the capital talked about the elder brother again, but it was much more cautious, and even the noblewoman who used to lash out at her brother also changed her words, and began to say what to think about carefully, the king of the Qianwang is wise and resolute, and he is not far behind the Holy Ancestor.

No matter what they say, Shuzhen knows that the nobles of the capital are afraid of their brother and are afraid of death, but is his brother really so terrible?

"Sister, we have a lot of toys now, go back and teach you to shoot! It's not good, it's not good to fight and kill, by the way, there is a kind of talking machine in the south, you can see it, we don't move next to the Forbidden City, and this talking machine will have to be safe in the future. When he walked out, Ye Zhao pondered.

As if seeing his brother who often invented gadgets to make him happy again, Shuzhen had a sour nose and nodded slightly.

Walking behind Ye Zhao and Shuzhen, Chongqi was a little apprehensive in his heart, he had been working for the six kings, and even prevented Shuzhen from writing a letter to the south, now that the south is winning and the north is defeated, seeing that the regent is dominating the world, I don't know how the regent or the future new emperor will deal with himself.

According to the officials of the Southern Dynasty, surrender is certainly lenient, but because these people are guilty of treason, war crimes, etc., they need to set up a special committee to convict them one by one.

was thrown into prison, although there are also those who regret surrendering, I knew that it was better to follow the six kings to escape, but the matter has come to this, what's the use of regretting? What's more, even if it doesn't fall, the southern [***] horse will attack, and I am afraid that in the middle of the day, Yanjing City will be breached.

The long street of the capital is empty everywhere, only the soldiers of the southern country patrolling back and forth, and there are almost no pedestrians, and the prosperous Beijing division seems to have become a dead and silent city.

What Shuzhen didn't expect was that after eating a closed door in the second uncle's mansion, the people in the house replied that the old man was sick in bed and no one was seen.

Seeing the eyes of her brother's attendant, Shuzhen was startled, and she was really afraid that they would pull out their guns and shoot the loyal old servant, but the elder brother just smiled and said, "Go home." ”

Shuzhen is relieved, brother, or the brother she knows.
