Chapter 173: The official made a wish
Many secrets, Chongzhen is going to take them to the grave. He didn't want to tell anyone how much he was afraid of the palace, and this fear had been with him since the death of his brother Zhu Youxiao, and this fear had slowly turned into hatred. He had spent 16 years in the palace, and at the age of 33, he felt that he had spent his long, lonely life here.
The rope in front of him was the only exit for him to escape, so he let out a long breath and said to the eunuch Wang Chengen on the side, I am leaving. Wang Chengen said, you go first.
Whether it is Jin Jun outside the Guanxi or Li Zicheng in China, Chongzhen has a deep fear, especially Jin Guo, frankly speaking, when something is extremely vicious and you have never seen it once, you must have a deep fear, which is a fear of the unknown, such as ghosts. Chongzhen has never seen the Jin people once, and his understanding of the Jin people comes from the excerpts from the border passes, which basically depict the Jin people with blue faces and fangs, and the reason why the border guards are so much more than to show their loyalty and bravery, but they don't know that this terrible image often makes their young and promising emperor wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night.
From this point of view, Yuan Chonghuan has become the male god in his mind, and even directly a god, when he heard that this god turned out to be an undercover agent of the Jin Kingdom, despair, panic, and anger filled his heart, prompting him to make the decision to Ling Chi his male god.
So, when the rope broke, instead of rejoicing, he felt another deep panic throughout his body. Did God not even give me a chance to die?
This made Xiao Yao, who was standing on the side, very sad, and he said to Yuan Chonghuan who was lying beside him: "If Emperor Jianwen saw this, I don't know what he would think in his heart?" ”
Lao Yuan was silent, he stood up, walked over, and Chongzhen, who was trembling and hanging the rope on the crooked neck tree again, found that his rope had been taken away from him, he looked up and was about to scold, but what he saw was Wang Chengen, who was stunned.
After seeing Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen was sure that he had reached the underworld, and he threw Yuan Chonghuan to the ground and said, "Chonghuan, I'm sorry, I have wronged you." ”
Wang Chengen, who was about to tie his belt to Wang Chengen on the tree next to him, looked back and saw this scene, and his scalp was inevitably numb. He knew in his heart that he did not tell Chongzhen about Yuan Chonghuan's accidental disappearance from the execution ground.
But at this time, he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that Chongzhen would be angry and stab him to death with a sword thrown on the ground.
Xiao Yao on the side reminded Chongzhen: "He's not dead, and you're not dead." ”
Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen, who was standing aside: "Is he telling the truth?" ”
The Wang family knew how eager and urgent the emperor was to hear the truth at this moment.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Chongzhen, who found out that he was still alive, could be said to be ecstatic, and he couldn't wait to hug everyone present and kiss him. Da Ming was saved, he said to Cheng En.
In the end, Chongzhen controlled his impulse, he took Chonghuan's hand, as if holding his brother's hand, and asked in a low voice:
"Where are we going now?"
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Xiao Yao, and he thought that it would be more appropriate for this question to be answered by this Jiangnan scholar of unknown origin.
"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Yao asked.
Xiao Yao's tone was quite calm, but this was undoubtedly a question of the century that penetrated Chongzhen's heart. Only then did Chongzhen realize that among the people present at this time, this strange man was the master of fate.
A long silence followed. At the foot of the mountain, the sound of thousands of troops and horses killing in Beijing City disappeared from the ears of this man nicknamed "Emperor" without a trace in an instant, and the heart of this 33-year-old man whose real name is Zhu Youzhen was clear and quiet like a virgin at this time.
Chongzhen thought for a while before saying, "I want to go home, my home is in Jiangnan." ”
Xiao Yao glanced at Chonghuan, he didn't expect Chongzhen to say such a sentence.
Xiao Yao said: "Do you know why your dynasty has declined so much? The people who really want you are actually the people of your old Zhu family. ”
Chongzhen looked at Chonghuan, that is, I didn't kill you wrong?
Yes, Your Majesty, do you remember Emperor Jianwen?
Where are they?
Chongzhen's trembling voice was like a leaf that had just fallen from a crooked-necked old locust tree, trembling and thin, but there was a surprise of returning to the embrace of the earth. It turns out that he is not alone.
They are in Gangnam.
Jiangnan is the starting point of the Zhu family, and they have been to this desolate northern country for too long, and they don't seem to remember the way home.
Next, Xiao Yao told him that he had a brother named Zhu Ba from the same clan. Chongzhen interrupted Xiao Yao's words: "You mean he has been waiting for me to give up his seat?" ”
"According to him, your chair was originally his."
Chongzhen suddenly felt much more relaxed, and he even made a joke: "Why do I feel like I'm always sitting on my ass, okay, let's go back to Nanjing now to meet my brother." ”
Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have to meet someone before we leave Beijing.
