The city of Beijing was dead silent under the sunset, except for the patrol soldiers of the Yamen under the command of the infantry army and the officers of the Shuntian Mansion who were still patrolling on the road, even the imperial history of patrolling the city with their noses and mouths facing the sky in the past was gone. In fact, since the beginning of the Northern Expedition of the Xia Army, the city of Beijing began to be under martial law, and only two of the seventy-six gates outside the city were opened to the import of materials from outside the city, and the travel of personnel was strictly restricted, so that there were no traces of people in the lively teahouses and wine shops in the past, and ordinary people were even more in addition to queuing up on the street to buy grain, rape, and firewood, which rose in price every day.
The administrative affairs of the imperial court have come to a complete standstill, and the civil and military officials are preparing for a retreat with their own minds, and the time to go up and down the court is also to gather together to inquire about the movements ahead, so that they can obtain first-hand information in time and decide when they and their families will escape from this cage. In this regard, although Kangxi was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything, let alone issue an order to punish anyone, the reason is also very simple, you must know that people are panicking now, one is not handled properly, maybe the front line did not collapse Beijing City will be in chaos, it is better to calm down, in case Yinhe and they are lucky to win, it is not too late to settle accounts after the autumn.
That's right, Kangxi still has a glimmer of hope that he can win. This is also true, the war is not necessarily won by a large number of people, in the history of war, there are many examples of outnumbered enemies finally winning the war, why can't they turn the tide and fall immediately? It's just that since the Xia army attacked Cangzhou with a partial division, Kangxi's miss for winning has become less and less. There is no way, everyone is about to hit the city of Beijing, but Yinhe is still hesitating whether to take out the Mongolian army as a mobile force to block it, which at best says that the prince who presided over the war is cautious, and at worst, it will inevitably make people feel that the main general is a little indecisive.
Yes, the Xia army may be a false shot or a tiger away from the mountain, let's not talk about whether the Xia army can take Beijing, which has strong walls but insufficient defensive forces, but if the Xia army does not attack Beijing and only intends to cut off the grain routes on the front line, the Qing army will lose the war sooner or later. Therefore, Kangxi could only force Yinhe to send troops.
Now, the Mongol army was dispatched, but it was hit by a head under the city of Gu'an, so that Marhun and his Pegasus begged the Qing court to pay a huge amount of money to motivate the army. There is no way, as long as the Mongols are desperate, they still have to give the money they should give, the only thing to worry about is that the Mongol soldiers will not be able to take Gu'an for a long time, and the Xia army will take advantage of the situation to send troops again.
The more worried things are, the more they will come, and the first-class guard wearing the yellow coat presented an urgent report from Yaerjianga: "Tens of thousands of Xia army riders are approaching Gu'an, and the kings will discuss and decide to face the battle." ”
This is a decisive battle, Kangxi has a keen insight into this, but he can't do anything, so he has to wait for news in the palace. It was not a solution to wait for the news, Kangxi decided to find someone to talk to, so he sent someone to summon the old minister Li Guangdi. Fortunately, the scene where Chongzhen couldn't find a hundred officials when he hanged himself did not appear, and Li Guangdi quickly appeared in front of Kangxi, which gave Kangxi a lot of comfort, so the two chatted while drinking tea.
At first, the two chatted about poetry, and gradually talked about Zhu Zi's articles, which soon turned into memories of the past years.
Slowly, the red candle had a high fever, but the two monarchs and ministers seemed to have forgotten the hunger in their stomachs, and they still chatted very happily.
The time of Shen has passed, and in the middle of the moon, Kangxi, who is already very tired, has just woken up from a dream, so he ordered someone to serve a banquet.
With a glass in his hand, before he could drink it, a person staggered in outside the hall.
Looking at the blood-stained Mar Hun, Kangxi had already understood, and he smiled sadly: "But defeated?" ”
"Minions, minions are incompetent!" Malhun slammed his head on the ground and knocked on it. "The 60,000 Mongolian army was defeated in a battle, and less than one in ten people could escape, and Prince Jian was also separated??????"
Kangxi didn't bother to ask about the specific process of the battle, but just asked: "Then why don't you die in the battle?" ”
Mar Hun was speechless, Kangxi waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not easy to survive, hurry back to the house and take your family out of the customs, remember that Daning is no longer safe all the way, go out of Xuanhua and go to Monan, and take a detour." ”
Who knows if Kangxi said the opposite at this time, so Marhun left or didn't stay, and at this time, he saw Li Guangdi and said: "The prince is confused, although the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the pass, it is still related to the outside, but if even Zonggui dies in the pass, who will command it outside the pass?" The emperor's words are already very clear, the prince is not going to leave quickly! ”
Malhun suddenly realized, immediately bowed to Kangxi three times and bowed nine times, and then resolutely turned around and left.
Looking at Marhun's back, Kangxi ordered with a sigh of interest: "Sue the brothers and the royal palaces, and leave Beijing immediately." ”
The eunuchs and guards ran out to report the fire, but Kangxi just drank a glass to himself: "Li Guangdi, why don't you go, run for your life quickly, maybe my descendants still have a place to use you." ”
"The old minister is already old, he can't walk anymore, and he doesn't want to be chased like a lost dog by the sea and have no way out." Perhaps knowing that the deadline was approaching, Li Guangdi was obviously less taboo, and some words that were impossible to hear from his mouth were also said at this moment. "Just stay and have a drink with the emperor."
"Li Guangdi, you are a loyal minister." Kangxi seemed to have feelings. "Come, accompany me to have a drink."
After drinking a cup with Kangxi, Li Guangdi smiled and said: "The minister actually doesn't want to be a loyal minister, the minister wants to be a famous minister in his life, and a famous minister who assists Ming Jun to open up peace for ten thousand years, but unfortunately, this qiē is ruined." ”
Li Guangdi's exclamation touched Kangxi, and Kangxi said quietly: "If it weren't for Zheng's child, I would also be a master of ancient times." ”
Speaking of this, the monarch and the ministers looked forward to it and couldn't help but burst into tears.
After a long time, Kangxi got rid of the negative feelings, and raised his glass again: "Don't say it, drink, drink." ”
It's just a wine banquet that is everywhere in the world, watching the drunken and hazy Li Guangdi being helped home, Kangxi slowly stood up. At this time, the commotion outside the Forbidden City could be heard clearly even in the depths of the Forbidden Palace. Kangxi listened attentively for a while, and a sneer of inexplicable meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth. But soon the sneer turned into a bitter smile, and then he walked alone to the depths of the harem with a lonely face.
Kangxi walked into the Jiaotai Hall alone, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar buildings in front of him, he couldn't help but think back to his two queens, thinking about it, the face of the former prince Yinren also appeared in the depths of his mind.
Kangxi suddenly shouted angrily: "Rebel, if you weren't in a hurry to usurp the throne, how could you let the Zheng family sit big, you, you sinners of the Qing Dynasty, you, you embarrass your mother??????"
Kangxi was a little crazy, and it took a long time to relieve his feelings. When reason slowly returned to Kangxi's body, he realized that his time was running out, so he withdrew from this place with his good memories and his painful memories.
When Kangxi personally took the slightly heavy palace door and turned around to leave, he was surprised that the concubines and young princes and princesses who had heard the news were already kneeling under the Dan Fan of the Tai Palace.
"When I haven't reached the big line yet, what are you crying about?" Kangxi glanced at them coldly and ordered. "Someone came, and the decree was made, and the fifth son of the emperor, Yinqi, was ordered to be the supervisor of the country, and immediately went out to patrol Fengtian, Ningguta and other places." Yinqi was so frightened that he didn't dare to take the edict, and Kangxi said again. "I know that you don't have this ability, so I only let you be a prisoner, if Yinhe can escape to Kanto alive, you will take a few younger brothers to serve him as the emperor, if Yinhe doesn't have this blessing, no matter who comes back from the south, give him that chair." Yinqi was submissive, and several older brothers also looked different, and Kangxi immediately pointed at Yinyu and Yinyu. "You two stay, the rest of the people go back to prepare, after dawn, the imperial guards and the infantry commander Yamen will escort you to Fengtian."
Everyone immediately dispersed, only Yinyu and Yin'o looked at Kangxi with pale faces, because of Yan's father's prestige, the two of them did not have the courage to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but they did not dare to stay in the Forbidden City with Kangxi, who obviously wanted to die for the country.
When he was suffering from gains and losses, he listened to Kangxi's instructions: "The government can send someone to inform us to evacuate to Fengtian, as for the two of you, help me do one thing, and let you go when it is done." Rest assured, Hai Wei didn't reach the city of Beijing so quickly, and their first priority now is to eliminate the more than 300,000 imperial soldiers and horses in the south. ”
Hearing what Kangxi said, Yin'o seemed to come to life, and asked busily: "Huang Ama, what do you want your sons to do?" ”
Kangxi quietly ordered: "You two go find some people, go outside the palace to dismantle some wood and transport them into the palace, and then find some vegetable oil, lamp oil or something, and pour this Forbidden City again." ”
Yinyu and Yinru seemed to have been punched, and they looked at Kangxi with their mouths wide open one by one, at a loss.
After a full few breaths, Yinyu, who came back to his senses, stumbled and confirmed: "Emperor, Emperor Ama, you, are you, going to, to burn the Forbidden City?" No, it can't, in case it provokes the sea rebellion, let's Manchuria??????"
Before the words fell, Kangxi slapped him in the face: "Bastard, how could the Qing Dynasty die, isn't it because of the greed for life and fear of death and the pleasure of those of you who are masters, and the result is that one generation is not as good as the next." ”
Kangxi's next words were both an explanation and a warning: "What is the death of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Manchurians, only when we are forced to a dead end, we Manchurians will cheer up, and we can reign in this picturesque world again." ”
Yin'o wanted to say that Kangxi was crazy, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips, and when he was at a loss, a eunuch ran quickly and reported: "Lafayette, Li Guangdi's Mansion reported the funeral, saying that Master Li had just passed." ”
Kangxi nodded: "It's a good death, this old fox is still calculating until he dies, which shows his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, and he thinks that he can calm Nan's anger with him with a death." It's really cheap to die! But it's okay to open the way for me in front, and when I get there, I won't be too lonely. ”
After that, Kangxi waved at Yinyu and Yinru: "Don't do it yet??????"
