Chapter 620: Heaven and Earth Change

On the second day of October in the first year of Ming He, it was cold in the morning, Tianjin Wei, Changping Wei, Baoding Qianwei, Baoding Guard, and the four guards raised troops at the same time.

The Marquis of Jining was ordered to guard the Beijing Division with 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Xishan battalion.

On November 20, the Marquis of Jining was seriously wounded, and the commander of Tianjin Wei made Qi Yuanshan lead the army to attack the Beijing Division, half of the dead and wounded, and Qi Yuanshan rescued King Qing in the Shoukang Hall of Coal Mountain.

On November 21, Changping Wei commanded Yanping Bojiang Shou, Baoding avant-garde Mo Yan, and Baoding rearguard commanded Shang Baoguo, a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses in the capital foreign exchange division.

On the same day, Zhong Jie, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, led an army of 20,000 to the south, Yanping Bojiangtao was killed in battle, Qi Yuanshan fought and retreated with King Qing, and joined Mo Yan and Shang Baoguo, and fled to Tianjin Wei.

Qi Meng, the eldest son of Qi Yuanshan, had already prepared a big ship, and King Qing led the remnants of the army to the south.

At the same time, due to the harsh deduction of the Chamber of Commerce, a rice merchant riot occurred in Wuxi Rice Market, and Wuxi Wei sent people to suppress it and arrest more than 200 people.

Ten days later, the strange thing of Guanyin like tears occurred in Henan, which attracted a lot of discussion for a while, and then there were strange people divination, saying that there was a great rebellion against the father and mother, and Guanyin Bodhisattva was thus manifested.

At this time, I don't know where it came from, it was said that this incident was because of Emperor Minghe, Emperor Minghe killed the first emperor, and put the crime on the queen mother, and after ascending the throne, he killed the queen mother and killed the mouth, in order to disobey people, the Bodhisattva wept, and the heavens were angry.

In November, just after Beizhili, heavy snow suddenly fell, and the heavy snow fell for several days and nights, overwhelming countless houses, freezing to death, and killing thousands of people.

In the early years, King Qing borrowed the name of the Zhao family in Wuxi to take a cut in the Wuxi rice market, and finally filled his own pockets, but at the same time, he also attracted many families and clans in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the case of the Qingwang Party, a number of Jiangnan officials were implicated, and Jiangnan is a place where literati and artists gather, and there are many academies, among which the four major academies in Jiangnan are the leaders, and most of the Qingliu in the DPRK and China can have an inextricable relationship with the four major academies in Jiangnan.

Therefore, as soon as the heavy snow in Beizhili stopped, 500 students from the four major academies and other academies in the south of the Yangtze River gathered in Jinling City to give advice on ten thousand words, which was known as the Jinling Gentlemen's Association in history.

Because of the snow disaster, the homeless victims rioted, and the local garrison sent troops to suppress it, and Zhang Baochen, a farmer in Henan, rose up, and the victims joined Zhang Baochen's army one after another.

In the Forbidden City, Emperor Minghe, who had just ascended the throne for three months, was anxious, and before he had time to understand the situation of the guards, the four guards that were very close to the capital turned around, and to his surprise, Qi Yuanshan and others actually came to King Qing.

As far as he knows, the Empress Dowager has been in power for ten years, and she has not been able to meddle in military affairs, and when did King Qing and King Xian take Qi Yuanshan and Yanping Bojiangshou for their own use.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ming He was in a cold sweat. If Qi Yuanshan and Jiang Shou raised troops two months in advance, wouldn't he be able to ascend the throne smoothly?

But after thinking about it again, wasn't it Qi Meng, the eldest son of Qi Yuanshan, who fought with the Xishan camp on the street that time?

The weather was cold, but beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from Emperor Minghe's forehead.

Why was Qi Meng in the capital that time, and was the conflict between him and the Xishan camp really occasional?

"Come on, Prince Xuanshou will enter the palace, no, let's invite Commander He to enter the palace."

In these matters, of course, it is necessary to find Hegang, and King Shou has no other use except for allowing him to get the support of the clan and let him, the emperor, sit clearly and smoothly.

The people who were sent out went for an hour before they returned: "The slaves and maids first went to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, but the people there said that the envoy went to the Imperial Prison, and the slaves and maids asked them to find someone, but those people ignored the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids had no choice but to go to the Imperial Prison by themselves, but those guys from the Imperial Prison not only did not let the slaves and maids enter the door, but also could not communicate with each other, and the slaves and maids all said that they were sent by the Lord of Long Live to send the slaves and maids......"

Every time the chamberlain said a word, Emperor Minghe's face became gloomy, he had been on the throne for more than three months, but He Gang still didn't take him seriously.

He gritted his teeth, and suddenly remembered what the Empress Dowager had done back then, and in those ten years, Jinyiwei had been suppressing bandits outside for eight out of ten years.

Since I am a person who is not used by me, then don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust.

"Set up the imperial study, let the elders come over, I want to discuss with the court."

After the court discussion, Emperor Ming He sent Jin Wuwei to command Fang Qi to continue to search for the remnants of King Qing in Beijing, especially the matter of Qi Meng's entry into Beijing.

Then the military department rushed 800 miles, sent the holy decree to Fujian, and ordered the Fujian State Gong Zhanyi to transfer troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of King Qing in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jin Yiwei commanded He Gang, exposed that King Qing had made a great contribution to rebellion, sent him to Henan to quell the rebellion, gave him the right to act cheaply, and caught Zhang Baochen, the first of the rebels.

The holy decrees were issued one by one, and Emperor Ming and Emperor returned to Chengqian Palace with peace of mind.

He did not move into the Qianqing Palace, but still stayed in the place where he lived before, but the Chengqian Palace was no longer called the East Palace.

He only said that he wanted to keep filial piety for the first emperor, and he didn't want to live in the palace where the first emperor lived at this time, but what Emperor Ming He thought in his heart, only he knew.

Snowflakes drifted in the sky again, and Emperor Ming He was interested, so that people set up a tea stove in the open hall, and he tasted tea while enjoying the snow.

Two tea palace maids stepped forward to serve, Emperor Ming He caught a glimpse of one of them with red eyes, as if he had cried, Emperor Ming He's face sank, these days, he was tired of crying and crying.

"What's the matter, why are you crying?" He asked in a deep voice.

The palace maid was startled, her hands trembled, the tea spilled, and the palace maid hurriedly knelt down: "The slave should die, the slave should die." ”

Emperor Ming He glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground in disgust, and asked, "I just asked why you cried, why were you scared like this?" ”

The palace maid kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Please long live forgiveness, the slave maid saw that it was snowing again, and thought of her parents in her hometown, and she was ......sad for a while."

"What happened to your parents?" Emperor Ming and Emperor came to be interested.

The palace maid held back her tears, but her shoulders still trembled involuntarily: "The slave maid's family is poor, there are only three old houses at home, I heard that it snowed heavily a while ago, and many people died in the slave's hometown, and the slave maid has been worried about the safety of her parents, and it snowed again today, and the slave maid ......"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Minghe's face changed greatly, and he picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it towards the palace maid, the tea cup flew out against the palace maid's cheek, but the hot tea spilled the palace maid's body and face, the palace maid covered her face and exclaimed, and the head of the chamberlain on the side saw it and hurriedly dragged the person out.

Emperor Ming He also had no interest in appreciating the snow, and he couldn't get along with me, even the old people in the East Palace before.

He rushed out of the dormitory angrily, and the attendants hurriedly followed him with umbrellas, and Emperor Ming He turned around and glared at the attendants holding umbrellas behind him: "Are you plotting against me when you follow me?" ”

The chamberlain was stunned, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the snow.

Seeing him kneel, Emperor Ming He snorted and turned to leave.

In the middle of the night, when the snow was still falling, Emperor Ming He woke up from the nightmare again, and heard the sound of someone outside, and he asked the waiter on duty at night: "Why is it noisy outside?" ”

The chamberlain went out to ask, and came back to say, "Back to Your Majesty, it's the death of the one named Xiao Anzi." ”
