Chapter 244: Liaodong's Reflection
Looking at Empress Zhang's smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gently stroked Empress Zhang's lower abdomen and slowly fell into contemplation. I am no longer a person, I am no longer a passerby in this world, I have a wife here, I have a family, and I am about to have children!
Sighing softly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt that he seemed to be thinking wrong, he had always been an outsider, a person who came to the Ming Dynasty from later. But the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly realized that he was no longer a person, and he was no longer that descendant.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned slightly, and his face was quite solemn, as if he was thinking about something important, Empress Zhang on the side stood obediently on the side, looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a smile. Although she didn't know the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Empress Zhang knew how to be a virtuous wife. Since she was sensible, her mother used her own practices and ideas to teach Empress Zhang how to be a good wife.
After a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's brows gradually loosened, although his expression did not change, but Empress Zhang felt that the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to have changed a person. The whole person seems to let go of a lot of things, and it seems to be detached in an instant, and the whole person looks elegant. Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse in a daze, Empress Zhang opened her mouth slightly, looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse in disbelief. There are two words lingering in her heart, that is, epiphany, could it be that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is like Buddhism, and he really let go?
Glancing at Wang Chengen and Wei Chao who were standing at the door, the expression of the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly converged, his eyes became very sharp, and he said indifferently: "Only this once, not as an example!" ”
The two of them also discovered the change of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it seemed that there was a mysterious power that changed the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The current Emperor of the Apocalypse and the Emperor of the Apocalypse just now are simply two people. The Emperor of the Apocalypse just now looked depressed, but now it is unusually profound, so that people can't see the depth. The two men glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Kneeling down in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the two of them said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not point out the matter, naturally for the sake of Empress Zhang beside him, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse could not bear to punish the two. Waving his hand to signal the two of them to leave, the Emperor of the Apocalypse helped Empress Zhang to the warm pavilion at the back, and then said softly: "Baozhu." Don't come here next time, if you want to die, send someone to say, I'll go over when I'm empty! ”
"Your Majesty, it is right for a concubine to come to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this!" Although Empress Zhang knew that this was the Emperor of the Apocalypse's favor for herself, she was too late, and now her position in the palace was very stable, and if she occupied the Emperor of the Apocalypse too much, it would be no good.
Pulled Queen Zhang to sit on the bed. The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Baozhu, I am busy, and I rarely interfere in the affairs of the harem, and I want you to worry more in the future." The Queen Mother walks around for me more, and I don't have time to fulfill my filial piety and leave it to you! ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, Your Majesty cāo works for state affairs, and the harem has its own concubines to take care of. What the emperor wants to do is a major national event. The concubine will guard the backyard for His Majesty! ”
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled with satisfaction. Holding Empress Zhang's hand, she said with great interest: "Let me listen to it and see if there is a villain inside?" As he spoke, he stuffed his head into Empress Zhang's lower abdomen.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse loved herself so much, Empress Zhang's feelings in her heart were very complicated, although she had a smile on her face, she was also full of mixed tastes in her heart. At this time, Empress Zhang finally realized. The Emperor of the Apocalypse has just changed, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse is really a Son of Heaven at this time. Empress Zhang believes that in the future, the matter of letting herself watch the twists and turns will definitely not happen, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has just let herself take care of the harem, which is a message for herself.
Gently stroked the hair of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Empress Zhang sighed softly in her heart, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is now the real emperor. As for why Wang Chengen and the others came to him, Empress Zhang felt that it was no longer important, no matter what happened, Empress Zhang felt that Emperor Tianqi could do it well.
This day is the first day of the sixth month of the first year of the Apocalypse, and the record of this day in later history is very vague, because on this night, the Emperor of the Apocalypse spent the night in the ancestral hall of the imperial palace. No one knows why, no one knows what the Emperor of the Apocalypse is doing in it, you must know that the ancestral hall is dedicated to the spiritual throne of Emperor Taichang, the father of Emperor Taichang, starting from Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
There are different opinions about the behavior of the Emperor of the Apocalypse on this day, when the Jiannu soldiers were in Zunhua, the Emperor of the Apocalypse neither convened a meeting nor sent troops to reinforce, but stayed in the ancestral ancestral hall for one night. What really happened on this day? Why did the Emperor of the Apocalypse do this? There are different opinions among later generations, some people say that the Emperor of the Apocalypse went to the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty to ask for guilt, and some people the Emperor of the Apocalypse went to ask for the manifestation of the ancestors, and there are various theories. But this day, and what happened that day, became a secret that many people still want to know. However, neither the official history nor the later wild history has a convincing statement about this day.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse retreated in the ancestral ancestral hall, but many people gathered in the city of Shenyang, and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion was originally Yang Yuan's mansion, but now it is the new Liaodong Xiong Tingbi who lives here. In the study room of the Governor's Mansion, several people sat down as guests and hosts, among which there were two people sitting at the top, one was Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, and the other was Yang Lian, the governor of Liaodong. At the bottom are Liaodong Jingluo Zuo Guangdou and Chen Hong, the eunuch commander of the Liaodong Prison Army, who has just arrived, and opposite these two people are He Shixian, the defender of Shenyang City, and You Shigong, the general of Shenyang City.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the urgent report that Ben Shuai just received that Jiannu broke into the Great Wall from Longjing Pass, Hongshankou, and Da'ankou, and now it has arrived under Zunhua City!" Standing up slowly, Xiong Tingbi walked slowly to the map, stretched out his finger, and said in a cold voice.
None of the people present spoke, and the expressions on their faces did not change in the slightest, apparently they already knew. It's just that these people all looked at Xiong Tingbi and waited for his next words.
"In the opinion of Ben Shuai, it is difficult for Zunhua City to withstand the soldiers of Jiannu, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured. Although the city of Zunhua City is very strong, most of the defenders of the city are household soldiers, and they have not experienced a battle formation for a long time, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined. Since Jiannu dared to attack the Great Wall, this time it must be Jing Rui of Jing Rui, so Ben Shuai asserted that Zunhua City would probably be captured soon! Looking at a few people with burning eyes, Xiong Tingbi said in a very affirmative tone.
Nodding slowly, Yang Lian said in a solemn voice: "Inspector Xiong, this is the military you know best, so if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Glancing at everyone, Xiong Tingbi nodded vigorously, and said with a resolute face: "Actually, now is a good opportunity to attack Jiannu, as long as we gather 50,000 horses, we can easily open the source and Tieling, and even attack Jianzhou is not impossible." Seeing He Shixian and You Shigong's excited expressions, Xiong Tingbi changed his words and said with a calm face: "But we can't do this." ”
With a deep sigh, Xiong Tingbi said with a dejected face: "As the governor of Liaodong, Ben Shuai is not good enough, and he has the emperor's trust. It is the responsibility of the commander to defend against the enemy outside the country, but now that Jiannu has broken through the Great Wall, we don't know that this is a very serious dereliction of duty! When this matter is calmed down, Ben Shuai will ask the emperor for guilt! ”
"Dashuai, although we are guilty, if we recover Kaiyuan and Tieling, or capture Jianzhou, we will have a great credit. Don't blame us, I'm afraid the emperor will reward us! You Shigong sat at the bottom, and said excitedly when he heard Xiong Tingbi's words.
What You Shigong didn't expect was that after he said a wonderful idea, it was not unanimously agreed, but everyone looked at him angrily. This even includes his friend of life and death, He Shixian.
Ignoring You Shigong, Yang Lian looked at Xiong Tingbi and said with a serious face: "Lord Xiong, although we are at fault, but don't worry about these at this time, what matters now is what we should do?" Even if it is a capital crime, you have to wait until the battle is over and then ask the emperor to decide! ”
Seeing that Yang Lian had built a step for himself, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said: "What Lord Yang said makes sense, Ben Shuai almost lost a big one because of a small one, thanks to Lord Yang's reminder!" Since this is the case, the marshal continued. After Jiannu conquered Zunhua, there were two options, one of which was to go west, break through Shimen and Mashen Bridge and reach Jizhou directly. At this time, Jizhou's troops were empty, but Jizhou had Sun Dashuai in charge, and it was not a big deal. Jiannu wants to break through Jizhou and take the capital directly, but this road is impassable. Jiannu didn't dare to bypass Jizhou, otherwise once the people of Jingying were dispatched to cooperate with Jizhou, Jiannu would have to be wrapped in dumplings. ”
Listening to Xiong Tingbi's words, everyone present nodded, although there are only 20,000 defenders in Jizhou City now, but no one believes that they can break through Jizhou. The city of Jizhou is no worse than Shenyang, and it is simply wishful thinking to take Jizhou. Besides, there is still a capable person in Jizhou, that is, Sun Chengzong, there is such a person in Jizhou, and Jizhou will definitely be safe.
Just when everyone was relieved, Chen Hong, who was sitting on the side, frowned, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "No, it's not like this!" If Jiannu can take Zunhua, Jizhou will not be able to keep it. Jizhou, which has two horses, even if Sun Dashuai is in charge, can't keep it. Jiannu was able to take Beitongzhou directly, and the soldiers were under the city of Běijing. Once there is a mistake in Běijing City, I will be responsible for my death! ”
No one expected that Chen Hong would speak at this time, and the words he said made people jump, but seeing Chen Hong's serious expression, everyone knew that this father-in-law who was the most favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, I am afraid that what he said was true! (To be continued......)
ps: Some people say that the writing is too fake, and the Houjin is too powerful, and it is impossible for the Ming army not to light a beacon fire. I just want to say that this is what really happened in history, and Huang Taiji took 25,000 people to the city of Běijing. I found a lot of information, and these are all as close to historical facts as possible!
