Chapter 496: Zen Throne Ceremony
Zuo Liangyu was finally defeated, after he saw the defeat of his own army, he immediately took Zuo Yuqing and thousands of cavalry to retreat in the direction of Zhenjiang, and Hong Chengchou was very tired because the soldiers were already very tired, and the soldiers in the western suburbs camp led by Ding Qun had already become the end of the crossbow after defeating Zuo Liangyu, so it was only a symbolic pursuit for a few miles before returning to the original place.
The two sides met, when Hong Chengchou and Cao Huachun got off the boat, the first thing they saw was Ding Qun who came up, naturally there was indescribable joy, Hong Chengchou held Ding Qun's hand and smiled with relief: "Leaving Mr. Ding in the camp in the western suburbs is really the most correct thing that this official has done, if it weren't for Mr. Ding coming to help in time, this time the official really can't take that Zuo Liangyu, if it continues to stalemate, maybe he will suffer!" ”
received Hong Chengchou's praise, but Ding Qun just smiled faintly, "The adult has won the award, this victory is thanks to the adult's strategy, and the student just did his own meager effort." ”
"Haha, Mr. Hahading is too modest, no matter how powerful the official is, he can't take care of the camp in the western suburbs, if you hadn't led the army to repel Zuo Liangyu in time, the official would have been hanging." In the face of Ding Qun's modesty, Hong Chengchou admired him even more, Hong Chengchou saw the soldiers brought by Ding Qun grabbing prisoners everywhere, and asked with satisfaction: "Mr. Ding, how did you break out of the camp in the western suburbs, it stands to reason that Zuo Liangyu is also an old soldier, and it is impossible for him not to leave people to watch you when he ambushed his own officials at the dock?" ”
Ding Qunwan smiled and said, "Zuo Liangyu will naturally not be so unbearable, but the people he left behind are not very good. ”
Then Ding Qun poured out the truth of the matter one by one, Zuo Yuliang, who was responsible for containing the western suburbs camp, was purely a guy with low eyes, Zuo Yuliang ordered him to lead 10,000 horses to use a feint to contain the western suburbs camp, this guy actually shrank his troops back to the camp, just monitoring the movements of the western suburbs camp from a distance, and was soon discovered by Ding Qun. Ding Qun led nearly 20,000 troops to sweep through the past with superior forces, Zuo Yuliang resisted for a while, and finally the whole army was defeated, and finally he had to lead hundreds of Ding families to flee to the east.
Ding Qun, who defeated Zuo Yuliang's soldiers and horses, did not stay. Instead, he continued to rush towards the dock when the enemy army did not react, and finally annihilated Zuo Liangyu's main force with Hong Chengchou's army on both sides.
After listening to Ding Qun's explanation, Hong Chengchou and the others all laughed, and Cao Huachun also laughed sharply: "In this way, we also have to thank Zuo Yuliang, if he wasn't so incompetent, Mr. Ding wouldn't have been able to lead the army to help so smoothly, and we wouldn't have been able to defeat Zuo Liangyu's thief so smoothly." ”
Seeing Cao Huachun say so. Someone around immediately joked: "Hehe, what Gonggong Cao said is very true, it seems that we really have to thank Zuo Yuliang!" ”
"Haha" Everyone laughed, at this moment, Hong Chengchou, who had frowned all the way, also showed a pleased smile, defeating Zuo Liangyu meant that he occupied Jinling, and finally had a place to stay, so that he would not be blown away by the wind like rootless duckweed in the next storm.
After everyone laughed, Cao Huachun faced the north and shed tears: "Alas. I don't know how the emperor is doing in the capital, whether he was bullied by that Pang Gang, our family is really worried about the emperor! ”
After listening to Cao Huachun's words. The original joy of everyone also faded, and they all sighed, they naturally did not forget, thousands of miles away from them, they were preparing to carry out a Zen ceremony that had not been seen for hundreds of years...... At noon on August 14 in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen
At the mouth of the Qianqing Palace, Pang Gang led a group of guards to stand here for almost half an hour, although the sun was very strong at this time, he still did not follow the advice of his entourage to go back to rest, and the entourage had to bring a big umbrella to cover him from the scorching sun. …,
Pang Gang was a little uneasy. Because today is the day when his wives enter Beijing, and he has been separated from several wives and concubines for several months, Pang Gang really misses them very much, and he has no relatives in this world, only the wives who married him are his closest people. And the Zen ceremony is about to begin, and he has to wait for the supreme power stage of this country, and at this time he needs the company and sharing of his relatives even more.
At this time, Lu Kuanliang, the captain of the pro-soldiers, hurriedly ran over and reported to him: "Lord Wang." Coming, coming, princesses, they're coming! ”
"Oh? Are they all here, princesses? ”
Lu Kuanliang said respectfully: "It's all here, now the phoenix drivers of the ladies have arrived outside the noon gate, and they will arrive at the Qianqing Palace in another quarter of an hour!" ”
After more than ten minutes, a noise of gongs and drums sounded, and a long procession accompanied by eunuchs, palace maids and guards came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace from the west.
Seeing Pang Gang's impatient appearance, Lu Kuanliang, who had no time to stop Pang Gang, had no choice but to chase after him with a wry smile.
The Qianqing Palace was the place where the emperors of the Ming Dynasty lived in the Forbidden City and handled their daily political affairs. It is the head of the last three palaces and is located in the Qianqing Gate. "Dry" is the meaning of "sky", "clear" is the meaning of "thorough", one is to symbolize the transparent sky, not muddy, symbolizing the stability of the country; The second is to symbolize that the emperor's actions are as open as the clear sky, and he has not done anything unseemly.
Since the Qianqing Palace is so important, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the concubines of the harem are not qualified to enter the Qianqing Palace when they enter the palace, and even the queen can only come in at the time of the wedding, but Pang Gang has no talents in this area, so no one reminds Pang Gang, but it is estimated that even if he is reminded, this guy will ignore it.
At this time, a eunuch who was walking in front of Feng Jia saw a man in armor striding towards him, and he was so frightened that he was about to shout, and suddenly remembered that at this moment, who else in this Forbidden City dared to be so rude to run into Niangniang's Feng Jia, and his mind changed, and the scolding in his mouth became the word "sedan chair".
As the eunuch's words fell, several palanquins following him immediately stopped and were slowly placed on the ground. The sedan chair headed by is five feet high, the pavilion is four feet high, the depth is eight feet, it seems that it can take six people, and the two wall railings of the car are carved with gold flowers, carved with the characters of the gods. The purple bead curtain flowed down from the top of the orthopedic body, and the dazzling red lines covered the entire orthopedic body. The pale yellow curtains sway in the wind, giving it a magnificent look.
Pang Gang didn't notice. The sedan chair in front of him, there are 16 people carrying the sedan chair, according to the rules of this era, this is a specification that only the queen can enjoy, and this sedan chair is also called Fengyuan.
When Pang Gang walked in a hurry to the sedan chair, the sedan curtain in front of him was also rolled up, and the first thing that appeared in front of Pang Gang were two pretty faces, it turned out that these two people were Kong Ruolan and Wei Manyao. Seeing that Pang Gang came to greet him in person, the two of them hurriedly stepped off the sedan chair and shouted softly, "The concubine has seen the prince!" ”
Seeing the two of them, a trace of tenderness appeared on Pang Gang's face, and he stepped forward quickly to help the two of them up, but saw two cute little heads poking out from behind the two wives.
Pang Gang, who laughed, hugged the two little guys, and now the eldest son Pang Supeng is more than two years old. The youngest son, Pang Suming, is also more than a year old, and it is the most likable time. Although they hadn't seen their father for months, they had not forgotten who the person in front of them was. They who were held in Pang Gang's arms did not cry, but smiled and stretched out their little hands to twist Pang Gang's face.
Pang Gang picked up the two sons and kept making love, but he left everyone aside, until Wei Manyao's coquettish voice sounded, and then he remembered that there were still people watching around him, so he put down the two sons. …,
At this time, several sedan chairs behind him also opened the sedan curtains, revealing a few pretty faces like flowers and jade, and Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xuezhu, Ling'er, Qiao'er and others also fell off the sedan chair. Come and greet Pang Gang.
At this time, the sharp-eyed Pang Gang saw Ling'er and Qiao'er each holding a swaddling baby in their arms, which were clearly two babies.
Pang Gang, who was surprised and delighted, pointed at Ling'er Qiao'er and said, "Could this be ...... Kong Ruolan on the side glanced at her husband and said coquettishly: "You are a father again, why don't you go over to see your two daughters?" ”
"Daughter? You're saying I have a daughter? At this time, Pang Gang was already speechless with joy. It turned out that during his expedition, Ling'er and Qiao'er also gave birth to two Lin'er, and they were both daughters.
"Okay, good!" At this time, Pang Gang was so happy that he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't stop rubbing his hands and grinning on the side.
Seeing that his husband was already speechless with joy. was about to walk towards Ling'er Qiao'er regardless of it, but there were still many people waiting next to him, Wei Manyao hurriedly and quietly pulled his sleeve, Pang Gang came back to his senses and waved his hand embarrassedly, "Okay, everyone, don't stick here, let's go in first!" ”
A eunuch on the side saw Pang Gang speak, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly invited a few ladies to get on the sedan chair, and after they were ready, he shouted in a sharp voice: "Get up the sedan chair!" ”
That night, Pang Gang and his six wives stayed overnight in the Qianqing Palace, and the six ladies and four children joined in, which made the originally slightly deserted Qianqing Palace seem lively.
The news quickly spread to Chongzhen, who was still in Kunning Palace, and Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan and others who heard the news couldn't help but be stunned.
Empress Zhou asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what is going on with this Pang Gang?" Why is it that all the people of all ages are crammed into one place? Isn't there a place in our Forbidden City that can accommodate his family? ”
Chongzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can't understand this Pang Gang, it stands to reason that the Zen throne ceremony will be held tomorrow, and he can completely place his wives and concubines in other palaces, isn't there anyone who teaches him this?" ”
Concubine Yuan was also puzzled: "Perhaps, our colt has a different taste...... It was late at night, Pang Gang in the Qianqing Palace couldn't sleep anymore, on this night, Pang Gang didn't sleep well at all under the preaching of the eunuchs in the palace, all kinds of cumbersome rituals and precautions made him dizzy, Rao is he conceited and not stupid, but he couldn't remember so many things clearly for a while, several times he wanted to shoot the case and drive those eunuchs out, but taking into account his own image, he finally endured it.
Because of these episodes at night, Pang Gang barely got up the next day under the shouts of the little eunuch, put on the dragon robe that had been prepared a long time ago, and put on the heavy crown with a string of pearl curtains on his head, and a strange feeling rose in Pang Gang's heart at this time.
As soon as the hour arrived, the Jingyang bell in the palace began to ring, and it rang thirty-six times in a row, which also means that something big is about to happen.
As soon as the Jingyang bell rang, the entire Forbidden City was like a chicken nest that had been thrown into a cannonball, and it turned from calm to boiling in an instant.
Countless eunuchs and palace maids and palace guards began to shuttle through the palace as if they had discussed. Countless people are busy coming and going everywhere.
The time soon came to his own, and Pang Gang, with the support of hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs, came to the Temple of Heaven located on the east side of Zhengyang Gate, where today's Zen throne ceremony was held.
At this time, the Temple of Heaven was already crowded with people, and countless sergeants with armor surrounded the Temple of Heaven. The hundreds of civil and military officials under Pang Gang arrived there early, and at this time, they looked at Pang Gang who was walking slowly, and their eyes showed a fanatical look, and the leader they supported finally became the emperor. And they have a brilliant future ahead for themselves and their descendants. …,
Not only Pang Gang's soldiers and horses and officials, but also this rare Zen throne ceremony also attracted countless people who came to see the excitement, and at this moment they crowded outside the Temple of Heaven, stretched their necks and stared ahead, and some dared to point to Pang Gang standing in the center of the Temple of Heaven and chatter.
After a while, there was another commotion in front of me, and from time to time some people said: "The emperor is here, look at it." The emperor is here! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked on the head by his companion next to him: "You stupid, after a while, he will not be the emperor but the emperor." ”
The beaten man covered his head and said aggrievedly: "But isn't he still the emperor now." ”
The person who came was Emperor Chongzhen, and today's Emperor Chongzhen is also dressed very ceremoniously. He wears a purple gold dragon crown and a dragon robe, which is different from the dragon robe he wears on weekdays, with a collar, narrow sleeves, embroidered with a gold dragon pattern on the front and back and shoulders, and jade leather boots. The golden dragon on the dragon robe is lifelike, its head is like a bull's head, its body is like a snake's body, its horns are like deer antlers, its eyes are like shrimp eyes, its nose is like a lion's nose, its mouth is like a donkey's mouth, its ears are like a cat's ears, its claws are like eagle's claws, and its tail is like a fish's tail.
Slowly, Chongzhen slowly walked up to the Temple of Heaven and came to Pang Gang. At this time, if someone has a heart to take a look, they will find that the dragon robes on Pang Gang and Chongzhen are exactly the same, exactly the same.
Chongzhen came to Pang Gang, looked at Pang Gang with a solemn expression, and then turned around. Facing the civil and military officials and the people under the Temple of Heaven, I saw Chongzhen slowly take out a bright yellow holy decree from his arms, and began to read it out in front of everyone.
"Fengtian carrier, heaven and earth are above, the ancestors of the Zhu family are above, since I ascended the throne by the edict of the first emperor. Reigned ten contained three. Although I have worked hard and walked on thin ice, the state affairs are hard, there are Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogue cholera, and there are Tartars who have committed crimes, and the people have been slaughtered...... Reading this, Chongzhen began to choke, tears could not hold back anymore, and then continued to read.
"The existing Shandong people Pang Gang, noble character, deep Xiao bow, I am determined to Zen in he will be able to inherit the unification, and succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor. I hope that all the royal relatives and noble ministers will do their best to assist the new emperor in managing the government...... When Chongzhen read this, many people loyal to the Ming Dynasty outside the Temple of Heaven and the former Ming officials who wore people's clothes and mixed in all cried together...... Looking at the people crying outside, Pang Gang, who was standing next to Chongzhen, also felt uncomfortable, this feeling made him feel a little weak, as if he had become a villain who conspired to usurp the throne.
Fortunately, the holy decree in Chongzhen's hand was not very long, and it ended after reading it for a while.
After reading the holy decree, Chongzhen turned around and said loudly in front of Pang Gang with all his might: "Pang Gang, take the jade seal!" ”
A little eunuch walked quickly to Chongzhen's side and handed him a bright yellow package. Chongzhen took the package, slowly unwrapped the package with both hands, revealing a huge, almost transparent jade seal depicting nine coiling dragons, Chongzhen trembled his hands, came to Pang Gang with the jade seal, and handed it to him with both hands.
Pang Gang also stretched out his hands to take the jade seal, at this moment, Pang Gang felt a solemn atmosphere that he had never experienced, he stood up with a serious face, took the jade seal with both hands and held it high above his head, and for a while, a majesty emanated from him.
At the same time, a eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Licheng! ”
The Temple of Heaven suddenly collapsed a large area, and everyone cheered loudly: "See my emperor, long live my emperor!" Hooray, hooray! "Thousands of voices soared into the sky like birds out of the cage, as if they were soaring straight into the clouds.
Looking at the civil and military officials and soldiers kneeling down in the audience, listening to their shouts of long live, Pang Gang suddenly had a feeling of contempt for the world, although all this in front of him was just a ceremony, but at this moment, he was deeply shocked and moved.
Pang Gang muttered in his heart: "Is this what it feels like to have the power to control the world?" ”RQ
