Chapter 172: Farewell

"In the past, the three princes were like bodhisattvas, protecting the soldiers and civilians along the coast, but at that time, the people along the coast could only try their best to keep the only Yu Gong who remained in the world."

Anton Wei sent out a few veteran people, inquired all the way where Yu Gong was exiled, and chased after him. In addition to Anton Wei, there is no one in the entire Daxing coast who is not worried about the safety of Yu Gong, when Anton Wei and a few people found Yu Gong, there were already many people around Yu Gong, and there were as many as 100 households.

The soldiers in charge of escorting Yu Gong were also afraid, so they should not make too much noise with the others, so as not to be detected by the imperial court, with Yu Gong's current situation, the more people involved, the more difficult it is for him to preserve.

Although everyone understands this truth, more and more people come, all the way to the border, it is difficult for the people to think about it, rumors spread widely, rumors about the cruelty of the first emperor and the killing of meritorious heroes, spread half of the northwest.

The emperor still knew in the end, gritted his teeth and wanted to kill Yu Gong, but he didn't want the Japanese to come and disturb the coastal area of Zhejiang. Although Daxing has the strength to fight, if he kills Yu Gong at this time, the Japanese will inevitably make a comeback after getting the news that all three dukes are gone.

At that time, the emperor was already seriously ill, and if there was another war, he couldn't take care of it, and several old ministers of the previous dynasty and the former emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager Zhang, personally went into battle to let the emperor think twice, the overall situation was important, and the emperor refused to let go of Duke Yu, and he could only let him continue to be exiled, plus another three thousand miles.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the first emperor to die, because there were no heirs, and there was no suitable candidate to succeed, so according to the relatives, it was the turn of the current saint to be the emperor.

The people who escorted Yu Gong all felt that there was hope, and immediately found someone to go to Beijing to intercede. Why didn't Emperor Yongping know the name of Duke Yu? When he saw the book of intercession, he hesitated. But he has just succeeded to the throne, and before the throne is secured, he will overthrow the order of the first emperor, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the old ministers.

Don't talk about the old ministers of the first emperor, Jinshang was still hesitating, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was the first to jump out, not allowing Jinshang to change the order of the first emperor.

At the beginning, among the people who persuaded the former emperor not to kill Yu Gong when the Japanese came, Empress Dowager Zhang was the first person, and now, among the people who have passed away and are not allowed to let Yu Gong go, Empress Dowager Zhang is still the first person.

It is nothing more than that the coast has been cleared, and the Japanese are not there, and the Empress Dowager Zhang cares more about the will of the first emperor than the inconsequential military and civilians.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to see Yu Gong for the last time." Zhu Zongqi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "The petition failed, Yu Gong was physically and mentally exhausted because of his exile for a long time, and he became ill as soon as it was cold. The escorts all thought that they could release Yu Gong today, but they waited and waited, and they waited for the news that Yu Gong could not be released. ”

"Yu Gong became more sick, and someone went to Beijing to petition, so he reluctantly invited a doctor to see Yu Gong, but the doctor came too late, and on the third day after the doctor arrived, Yu Gong was an old man...... ...... the hell I went?"

That night, many soldiers and civilians who had escorted Yu Gong for more than a year left tears in their eyes.

Anton Wei's people came back and said that the fog was very heavy that day, and there were no trees in the four fields, and Yu Gong was staying in the farmhouse, and the imperial doctor came out with the curtain and called everyone, "Yu Gong still has a few words to say." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't stop crying, but they didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of shocking Yu Gong.

The fog was very heavy, and the people in the courtyard stood with their hands down, and a few people in front of the house entered the room, and Yu Gong asked people to open the doors and windows. Several people wanted to persuade them, but they were afraid that the cold would be wrapped in the house, so Yu Gong waved his hand.

What kind of cold are you afraid of?

Yu Gong called the names of the leaders one by one, and he remembered each person's surname clearly, he called his name, and greeted the brothers from all over the courtyard in the courtyard, everyone responded, and Yu Gong said:

"There is more than one, and you will always remember the grace of the mountains and rivers. I'm going tonight, and you'll finally be able to return home. Yu Mou's life wishes for the family and the country are safe, now the country has a Ming Jun, there is no trouble, you return home early to do your filial piety in front of your parents, and reunite with your wife and children, so far you live and work in peace and contentment, and it is not in vain that Fang, Tang Ergong and I have worked hard. May the country be peaceful, and the family and people will be safe. ”

Yu Gong said, couldn't stop gasping, paused, and struggled to get out of bed, bowing to the end.

Yu Zongguang is here, and I have said goodbye to you. ”

There was no crying inside and outside the house, and in the white fog, everyone held back their tears and avoided salutes one after another.

A lone lamp flickered under the eaves with a faint light, unable to penetrate the heavy white fog.

The people in the house retreated one after another, leaving only Yu Gong's only surviving daughter, kneeling in front of Yu Gong's bed, to see Yu Gong off for the last time.

The next day, the sun rose in the east, the white fog gradually dissipated, the people in the courtyard were still standing in place, the lone lamp under the eaves burned out, and the cry in the house came.

There is no more time left for the general......

"A famous general, just like that, died on the road to exile...... Alas! Huangfu Fei couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone sighed and remembered Yu Gong.

Only Wei Ming was silent, with indescribable tiredness and sentimentality on his face.

Huangfu Fei couldn't understand when he saw him show this expression.

Wei Ming was young, and he became famous before he was a scholar, how could he show such a look as if he was hurting his own kind?

Huangfu Fei was about to ask a question, but Wei Ming had already come back to his senses, and his expression was gone, as if the autumn wind had swept by, leaving nothing behind.

Huangfu didn't have time to be surprised, so he heard Wei Ming say: "The divine rocket is slipping away, and Yu Gong is here." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Chief Zhu, "Duke Yu's will will be entrusted to General Banner!" ”

Zhu Zongqi was shocked, couldn't help the old tears, and stood up.

"Zhu will let the god rocket slip back into the world!"

Only by slipping the divine rocket back into the world is the greatest reward for Yu Gong. Thinking that his old man's spirit in the sky would be a little more comforting.

However, now that there is a warning of "dreaming", how to preserve the drawings of the god rocket is the top priority.

Zhu Zongqi frowned and said: "Among the Japanese bandits, there are always bandits mixed in, these people know the situation on the shore, if they attack the firearms battalion, it is not impossible, and when the drawings are destroyed, we just want to inherit the will of Duke Yu, and there is no chance." What can be done to save firearms battalions from this problem? ”

Zhu Ren immediately snorted coldly, "How can the firearms battalion be in the hands of Pang Bo and other wastes, how can it be spared?" A waste like him will only harm people, not save people! ”

If it weren't for Pang Bo drunk and falling in the ditch, the firearms battalion couldn't borrow a fire bullet pear flower gun, and reluctantly used a smoke-spraying pear flower gun to fight against the Japanese invaders, Zhu Baihu's eldest son and Zhu Ren's elder brother would not have fought the Japanese in close quarters and was stabbed to death by the Japanese knife.

The firearms battalion under Pompo is the biggest variable.

And the Zhu family has no ability to change these at all.

In the last life, the divine rocket slipped away, and behind the two sentences of the report received by the imperial court, the Zhu family should be more desperate than anyone else.

Wei Ming didn't dare to think about it, and was about to ask Zhu Zongqi what to do with it, after all, the person closest to the god rocket was him.

It's just that before the words were asked, someone slapped the courtyard door.

Zhu Ren hurriedly got up to look, and the two hurriedly entered the house.

It was a soldier under Zhu Zongqi.

"General Banner, just now a few of our brothers were striking iron in the courtyard, that Pang Bo and his son came over, saying that we were too noisy, and a few of us reasoned with his father and son, and Pang Shen actually said that the firearms battalion would inspect the warehouse and check the fire risk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the drawings would no longer be borrowed! If anyone is not convinced, he will go to the commander and complain! ”
