First Acquaintance Chapter 6: The Stars Are in the South
In the Forbidden City of Renshou Palace, Empress Dowager Sun sits on the main seat, with a graceful and luxurious temperament, although she is nearly fifty years old, her face does not look old, and her full forehead is wrinkled with a pair of beautiful eyebrows, and a thick melancholy lingers in it.
Queen Qian was accompanied by the Queen Mother, her dignified and virtuous face was full of tears, and she could only beat her spirit when she was haggard.
Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, stood with his head down, and he also looked worried, and the ministers all cried in a low voice, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was dull and depressing.
"The emperor hunted in the north, at this time when the country is in danger, the survival of the Ming Dynasty depends on your Aiqing!" Empress Dowager Sun broke the silence in the house.
"Queen Mother!" The attendant of the Hanlin Academy talked about Xu Hui, and worked hard to squeeze out the ministers in the front row, attracting a lot of squints from several scholars.
finally found an opportunity to let the boss pay attention to himself, and said excitedly: "The minister has a plan!" ”
Empress Dowager Sun saw that the person was only a six-grade, and he was not even an official in this Beijing division, but the enemy currently had to play three strokes with or without dates, so he still tried to stretch his eyebrows and eyes, and his kind eyes encouraged Xu Hui.
Xu Hui was even more excited in his heart, and said loudly: "Empress Dowager Bing! The ministers came to watch the stars day and night, only to see the emperor star turning, and its light pointed directly at Ying Tianfu, and the destiny of Shuntianfu has gone! Please move the queen mother to the sky! Reorganize the rivers and mountains! ”
As soon as these words made the ministers in an uproar, they all looked at him with a strange gaze.
"Those who want to move south can be killed! My Emperor Taizongwen is buried here, showing his descendants to be unstoppable. ”
I saw a dignified and majestic man, a righteous husband coming out of the crowd, and his awe-inspiring eyes approached the bottom of Xu Hui's heart, it was Yu Qian, the left attendant of the military department!
"For today's plan, we should quickly summon the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin, and only by defending the capital can we protect my ancestors!"
Xu Hui bent his legs and knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed heavily: "Queen Mother Mingjian!" The situation is critical, and the society is the best! Please also ask the Queen Mother to move the capital! Protect me for eternity! ”
Hu Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, squinted at Xu Hui: "A few Hu people scared you like this, have you read all the sage books to the dog's stomach?" Dowager! The minister thought that Yu Shilang's words were the way to save the country! ”
Chen Xun, the right attendant of the household department, said urgently: "What Yu Shilang said is extremely true, the Queen Mother!" It is suggested that the relocation of the capital will shake the heart of the army and the country, and it should be beheaded! ”
Jin Ying, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant eunuch, also stepped forward: "Whoever speaks the language of moving the capital again, demagoguery, behead!" ”
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty seconded the proposal one after another, but the sadness on the face of the Queen Mother was even heavier, she stared at Xu Huo who was taken away, although she despised that person in her heart, but the southward retreat may be able to change back to the emperor!
"Li Yongchang, what do you say?" Empress Dowager Sun looked at her personal eunuch and couldn't make up her mind.
Li Yongchang has been serving his side since Empress Dowager Sun entered the palace. The Queen Mother's mind he understands that his son is in the hands of others, even if he exchanges the country for the country!
But he knew that he couldn't move the capital, so he said firmly: "The slave also thinks that Yu Shilang is right!" ”
"The Queen Mother, the mausoleum of the ancestors and the emperor, the Imperial City Palace is in Beijing, and I have accumulated the treasury of the two provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the surnames of hundreds of officials are in Beijing. Yu Qian raised his voice.
Song Huizong gave up resistance and was captured, and the Great Song Dynasty's southward migration not only did not change back to Song Huizong, but made Jin Guo feel that Zhao Ji and his son were worthless, and they were even more wanton humiliated, becoming the famous Jingkang shame in history.
The Queen Mother understands that Beijing not only can't let go, but also hurts, wins, and kills Warat! Only then will the son have the possibility of returning.
"Spread the decree and summon all the princes and ministers to the king of Jingqin." After that, he will wave away the ministers.
At this time, the official Shangshu Wang said in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, if it weren't for the traitor Wang Zhen bewitched, my emperor hunted in the north, how could my Ming Jingshi be watched by Wara, so that the country is shaken, and the society is in danger, please ask the queen mother to be the emperor for my Ming Sheji, and govern Wang Zhen and his party for the crime of monopolizing power, stealing the country and humiliating the monarch!" ”
Chen Yi, the imperial history of the right capital, retorted: "Wang Shangshu's words are wrong, it is the time when the country is employing people, and the rise of a prison at this time is not to make Wara happy, but to make me feel pain?" Dowager! The minister believes that the most important thing at present is to strengthen Beijing's defense, and the merits and demerits should be discussed after the war! ”
The Jinyi guard commanded Ma Shun, the eunuchs Mao Gui and Wang Changsui were all Wang Zhen's dead friends, and Wang Shan and Wang Lin were Wang Zhen's nephews.
Wang Zhi snorted coldly: "Thanks to Du Yushi's words, this traitorous party jumped out by itself!" Please ask the Queen Mother to eliminate traitors for the country! Before the voice fell, he bent his legs and knelt on the ground with a pop.
Hula behind him followed and knelt down in a large area.
Chen Yi opened his mouth, knowing that it was useless to say more, he just had a personal relationship with Wang Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he couldn't get along with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military for the sake of these people.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Ma Shun hurriedly shouted and scolded: "At the moment of national crisis, you are abandoning the safety of the country for your own selfish interests!" and even coerce the crowd to force the palace! Are you going to rebel? ”
Maybe Wang Zhen's Yu Wei is still there, but under this Ma Shun's shout, the ministers really showed fear on their faces, and they froze in place one by one, not daring to move again.
Seeing that the situation was about to be controlled, Ma Shun suddenly felt his scalp tighten, and tried to look back, and Wang Hong's facial features were distorted in the matter, and he was dragging his hair.
Wang Hong is not very old, he has always been known for his uprightness, just now he saw Ma Shun reversed black and white, and rushed to Tianlinggai angrily, regardless of the presence of the Queen Mother, a pair of hands tightly grabbed Ma Shun's hair.
"You thief! On weekdays, I persecuted Zhongliang for Wang Zhen's lackeys, and my conscience had already let the dog eat clean, and today I will do the right thing for heaven! ”
Wang Hong's fingers were buckled into Ma Shun's eyes, Sven's small mouth opened fiercely, and the next moment he gnawed on Ma Shun's face. Seeing Wang Hong's move, the ministers who had no grudges no longer hesitated, and stepped on Ma Shun with a pair of big feet, and the wails filled the entire hall for a while.
The Queen Mother wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment and got up directly out of the main hall, and the Queen and King Yu also left. That Mao Guiwang saw that the situation was not right, and he hurriedly went out, and Wang Hong, a small expert in the group, didn't know when he got out of Ma Shun's side, and at this time he was eyeing the two of them.
"Colleagues, there is still Wang Zhen's sworn friend here!" Anyway, it doesn't matter if the king hasn't gone out yet, it's another arrow step, one in one hand, and he pulls the two of them back.
The two old eunuchs who were above the top in the past don't know if they were frightened today, but they were just trembling at this time, and they didn't even have the idea of fighting back, they just looked at Zhu Qiyu pleadingly.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear it, and wanted to say something, but looking at the scene of the crowd's anger, he had to avoid this bloody scene, and for a while, only the primitive beast nature was left in Renshou Palace.
When they got out of the side door, there was no trace of the Queen Mother's Luan, but Wang Zhen's two nephews didn't know when they escaped, and they were running out of the palace as if they were crazy.
Yu Qian stared at the two of them inexplicably, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It may be that he saw Zhu Qiyu out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly saluted: "King Yu!" ”
Zhu Qiyu stabilized his mind, recalling that on the main hall today, the ministers faintly took Yu Qian as the leader, and they put on a smiling face to greet him.
"Yu Shilang! When this country is in danger, I'm afraid only you can turn the tide! ”
Of course, Zhu Qizhen didn't know about the changes in the Forbidden City, but he saw that the sky was gloomy overhead, and thick clouds pressed on the top of the five people's heads.
"Lao Guo, what are you pulling me for, I'm going to unscrew off the heads of those little cubs!" Fan Zhong looked angry and turned back three times, but he was still pushed forward by Guo Mao.
Zhu Qizhen's face was also unnatural, and he remembered that he heard what Ha Ming said at that time, and walked two miles to the west, and finally saw the small door in Ha Ming's mouth.
But where there is a small door, it is a bigger dog hole at best. Then Ha Ming stepped forward to negotiate, and the soldiers guarding the door slaughtered them on the grounds that they needed to add money to pass the customs during the war.
The most annoying thing is the hundred households guarding the door, and when a few people left, they sighed and said: I took a great risk, blame me for being too kind, just help a few of you.
After that, several people climbed up and down for a while before passing through the thick Great Wall, drilling out of the dog hole on the other side, and entering the ditch where they were currently located.
"Okay, okay, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and I didn't say anything." Stopping the angry Fan Zhong, Zhu Qizhen looked at Guo Mao playfully and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Guo is still a good financial manager!" ”
As he spoke, a picture appeared in front of him: Guo Mao, who was five big and three thick, stood at the base of the city wall, twisting his back to a few people. After a while, he lifted his pants with a shudder, and a few pieces of broken silver appeared in his hand. Even because of the blackmail of the hundreds of households, Guo Mao's pants had to be turned over, and it was really enough for a few people to buy a road. Zhu Qizhen never expected that Commander Guo, who was usually not angry and arrogant, would still be afraid of guilt.
Guo Mao's old face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty! Promise me not to mention it! ”
"Hehe, I heard that Mrs. Guo is amazing." Fan Zhong took it with a wicked smile.
"Lord Fan, you!"
"Haha, it's me who lost my words. I didn't feel how this level was before, but now I look at it carefully, and it really has a different flavor! Zhu Qizhen didn't tease anymore.
With a smile in his mouth, his eyes reflected the magnificent rivers and mountains of 600 years ago.
Badaling to the south mouth, forty miles of Juyongguan ditch, the two sides of the mountain wall stand, the middle stream flows, the strange peaks and different stones are all over, the vegetation of the ditch slope is abundant, the rivers and mountains are magnificent, the scenery is beautiful.
Qin, Han, Sui and Tang are the barrier of thistle, and Liao, Jin, Yuan and Ming are the keys to Gyeonggi, which is the central plain leading to the outer hole of the Central Plains and the hub of exchanges between the northern and southern ethnic groups. Dignitaries, businessmen, and travelers, there is a lot of traffic, and there is an endless stream. The locals are engaged in opening shops, putting their feet, operating on a small basis, and quarrying.
Although there is no longer prosperity in the ditch due to the Great War, but along the way, away from the cruel war and feeling the magnificence of nature, Zhu Qizhen walked on the excavated mountain road, and couldn't help but have an illusion of being in the modern era.
The ditch was forty miles long, almost all of them were excavated mountain roads, and the five of them walked for a day to rush to the next station, and the time was already August 17.
