Chapter 169: The Achievement of Saving the Domain
Seeing that the unexpected reinforcements had arrived ahead of schedule, Liang Yizhang was naturally dancing, and the shouting and rejoicing was like madness.
But those thousands of presidents didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Liang Yizhang's actions.
After all, Liang Yizhang gambled the lives of his whole family and gambled to defend Shangqiu. If you can survive, you can still become a loyal minister and a hero, who will not be ecstatic, and who will want to die if you can live.
On the contrary, the thousands of presidents felt that this was the true temperament of the people of Futai, and their attitude towards them suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and they were full of compliments and praises.
One of them, Qianzong, also wept bitterly and repented: "Lord Futai is a god!" Keeping the soldiers and civilians of Shangqiu safe is all the credit of adults! We were all bewitched by Song Shoubei and lard before! ”
"You don't know, Lord Futai! It was Song Quan's gang who took the initiative to summon us and told us the despicable style of the thieves that 'if they break the city after encountering stubborn resistance, they will slaughter the city', otherwise we wouldn't be afraid!
This Song Quan is simply deliberately trying to shake the hearts of the army! As long as Lord Futai says a word, we will immediately arrest Song Quan's dog! ”
It was only at this time that Liang Yizhang completely confirmed the inside story, and Sen Ran sneered: "Is there such a thing? Then Song Quan can be regarded as taking the initiative to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason! Don't take it yet! ”
After finishing speaking, he couldn't care about the fate of Song Quan's soft bones, and after getting off the city tower, he frantically rode back to the prefect's yamen and went to report the good news to His Royal Highness King Lu, saying that the rescuers of Shenfutai were coming.
And a few thousand generals had to order, in order to clear their own shaky guilt, of course, they rushed to the West City Gate Tower where the Song garrison was located.
Everyone had a tacit understanding, and they would never leak the news in advance along the way, until they rushed to Song Quan, Song Quan didn't know what was going on, and he was easily taken down.
……
While the officials and soldiers at the head of the city cheered because of the arrival of reinforcements,
In a clean compound next to the prefect's yamen, at this moment, a group of gentlemen were restless there.
There was no other reason than because they didn't know what was going on outside.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man who was slightly older than King Lu paced back and forth, gritting his teeth irritably:
"Why is there such a big movement? Why is there such a big movement, it can't be that the thieves are attacking with all their might, right? Uncle Wang, if you had listened to me earlier, we would have thrown everything away, continued to flee south lightly, or even went directly to Fengyang, there would not have been so much to do. ”
This person is Zhu Yousong, the king of blessings, who is said to be Zhu Changshu's nephew, who is actually one year older than his uncle. He had more experience in escaping than Zhu Changshu, so he faintly heard the sound of gunfire and began to be afraid.
In the original history, when Zhu Yousong was broken in Luoyang and Huaiqing successively, he also went to his cousin to protect him, and then King Lu, King Fu, King Zhou, and King Zhao went south together.
Now the difference is only that the king of Zhou has not had an accident and is still besieged in Kaifeng City, and the other kings of Henan who survived basically fled all the way and gathered all the way, and were not affected by the butterfly effect.
Zhu Changshu was robbed of his white by his nephew, and he should have taken out the dignity of an elder, but at this moment, what his nephew said seemed to be more reasonable, and he couldn't help but weaken his momentum, just explained:
"Is it lonely to be reluctant to give up possessions? This is because I am worried that the guards will be insufficient, the soldiers will be in chaos, and I will not be able to go to Fengyang Mansion. What's more, the vassal king is not allowed to enter the three capitals without a summons, not only can he not go to Nanjing and Beijing, but even if he goes to Fengyang, the central capital, he may be impeached, so what's wrong with being cautious?
Besides, Fengyang must be safer than this Shangqiu? Who knew that the thieves would fight here so quickly, but he just waited and watched......"
Zhu Changshu felt that his decision-making was fine, he was most afraid of being reprimanded by a harsh and resolute nephew emperor like Chongzhen, even if he was fleeing for his life, he was still worried about the law of the court.
The vassal king can't enter the capital casually, or even get close to the capital casually! This system of the Ming Dynasty included not only Beijing, but also Nanjing and Zhongdu.
Especially at the end of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, this kind of thing is even more sensitive.
Because if Beijing falls one day, the other two of the Ming Dynasty may directly go up at any time and turn into the actual administrative capital.
If at that time, a certain vassal king was in Fengyang City or Nanjing City, wouldn't it be possible to be supported by the ministers nearby?
This kind of suspicion, people who are timid and afraid of things must hide as far away as possible, otherwise they will cause a commotion, or in the future, Chongzhen will come to the autumn to liquidate, won't he suffer a big loss?
"It's all burning eyebrows, impeachment is impeachment, life matters!" Zhu Yousong couldn't help but be angry, his fear of death made him ignore his politeness to his cousin, and he also secretly hated his cousin's cowardice and incompetence.
If he can make his own decisions, let alone go to Fengyang, what if he escapes to Nanjing?
The world is like this, wealth and danger are sought! What if something happened to his royal brother and nephews...... Tsk, the powerful are right in front of you!
Even if the bet is wrong, the big deal is death. Compared with other uncles and brothers, Zhu Yousong still dares to gamble his life.
It's a pity that he is now under the fence. The guards of the palace are all Uncle Tang's, Uncle Tang asked for stability before, and he couldn't command those people if he wanted to gamble.
In the end, it fell to the current step of the field, standing under the dangerous wall, hate.
……
Between the two disputes, Zhu Changshu quickly lost his momentum because of his weakness, which also alarmed more and more maids, and everyone was in a hurry.
Fortunately, there are still people who understand, and they also know that they shouldn't quarrel at this time, so a little girl finally jumped out to persuade them to fight.
She is fourteen or fifteen years old, bright and pure, graceful and graceful, which makes people forget to see the vulgar. I just heard her protect Zhu Changshu and say to Zhu Yousong:
"Brother Fuwang! If it weren't for my father to take you in, I'm afraid you would have died in Huaiqing, you don't know how to repay kindness, and you still have to find fault and offend your uncle with your nephew? Do you think my father is with ...... Is he also a man who is greedy for money?
He was afraid that there would be too many female rolls, and there would be a mistake on the way to thousands of miles. You are still a man like you who only run for your own life, and even leave your mother and wife behind? ”
This little girl originally wanted to say, "You think my father is as greedy for money as your father, and in the end he was killed by Li Zicheng, and the family property was still divided".
But after thinking about it, Lao Fu Wang is also her uncle after all, if she also offends her dignity, no big or small, there will be no position to persuade her. And the dead are the greatest, no matter how greedy the old Fu King was back then, he will die dead, so accumulate some virtue.
"You ......" but Zhu Yousong still couldn't help but be angry, he was refuted by his cousin, although the other party didn't finish speaking, but he could completely hear the off-strings, seeing that he was about to ignore the male bullying the woman, and went up to tear up with his cousin.
It turned out that this little girl was Zhu Changshu's only daughter, Zhu Yuchan, the little county lord of Luwang's Mansion.
Zhu Changshu is only thirty-four years old this year, but he is weak and a Buddha, so men and women are already not very energetic, and occasionally pamper concubines and concubines, and most of them need to be served by each other and move by themselves.
More than ten years ago, when Zhu Changshu was just twenty years old, he was still short for a few years, and he also left a daughter to grow into adulthood. It's a pity that he is lustful and excessive, and his body quickly collapsed.
At that time, other concubines and concubines were also pregnant, but the other two daughters were born and died young. And the son was not even born alive, at most he was not saved, and he was already a stillborn when he was shed.
This kind of mortality rate is not surprising, it is not open, because the health of the royal family at the end of the Ming Dynasty was already very problematic.
For example, Zhu Changshu's cousin, Guangzong Zhu Changluo, didn't he give birth to seven sons and only two of his daughters, and his ten daughters only survived, and the mortality rate was more than seven.
Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Tianqi and Chongzhen to be emperors, Guangzong himself died violently after only a month of being emperor, and Tianqi also died at a young age in his twenties.
Since Longqing and Wanli, the health of the vassal king is not good, and it is the mainstream.
Zhu Changshu has a cowardly temperament now, and most of it is related to his family situation, because he has no son, so he has no ambition to fight for many things, just live a harmonious life.
If he really fights for something great, he doesn't have a son to pass on, so why fight?
He also knew that it was almost impossible for his body to give birth to a son, so he ate more and more Buddha, and every day he either played music or appreciated antiques and bronzes, and over time he felt that this was very chic and refreshing.
At this moment, cousin Zhu Yousong and daughter Zhu Yuchan had a quarrel, and Zhu Changshu also had a headache, and persuaded for a while, the more troublesome it became. He only felt that his heart was cramping, and he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and a feeling of powerlessness also arose.
Fortunately, just when he was extremely depressed, a good news finally fell like a long drought and rain.
"Your Highness! His Royal Highness King Lu! Good news! Great joy! There was a commotion outside the courtyard, and the sound of rolling horses' hooves flew from far to near, and the voice of Liang Yizhang, the prefect of Guide, could be faintly heard across the courtyard.
Zhu Changshu was depressed for a while: Didn't you say that you would keep it secret and not let people know about your existence? It's only been a few days, and this guy has forgotten to keep his mouth shut?
He was angry, and he was about to rush to the gate of the courtyard when he ran, and personally drank Liang Yizhang to silence him. But I was so angry by the quarrel just now, I was in a hurry at the moment, and I almost got black.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuchan's eyes were quick, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support her father, and turned around and scolded the maids: "Are you all blind?" Why don't you come and hold on! ”
The maids who were afraid of harming the pond fish just now hurriedly came up to take it.
After a busy time, Liang Yizhang had already passed the gate of the courtyard twice.
Zhu Yuchan knew that there was a difference between men and women, and she should have avoided it, but she was afraid that her father would be excited, so she had to ask one of the maids to bring a veil and a hat that were ready at any time.
Just put it on, Liang Yizhang had already appeared in the Hanging Flower Gate, and Zhu Yuchan didn't care about Yue Ling's substitution, and calmly asked: "Liang Governor's Mansion!" My father has repeatedly asked you to keep our whereabouts secret, why are you so reckless and shouting as soon as you enter the courtyard! ”
Liang Yizhang was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was too excited, and in order to apologize, he had to kneel down and salute first: "His Royal Highness King Lu, the county lord forgive the sin!" Xia Guan was only momentarily excited, and there was no malice.
Xia Guan was about to teach the prince to know that there was no need to keep his whereabouts secret, and the thief Yuan Zong's first department outside the city had been broken by the imperial court reinforcements! It was Shen Shuren, the governor of Huguang, who was ordered by His Majesty to go north to Henan to meet the thieves!
Huang Degong, the chief soldier under his command, and Zhu Wenzhen, the staff general, have already killed Shangqiu! At least 10,000 cavalry! With such a strong soldier to protect them, the king and the king of Fu will definitely be able to withdraw safely! ”
When Zhu Changshu heard this, his expression instantly became wonderful, first shocked, incredulous, and then ecstatic: "There are 10,000 cavalry in the imperial court to rescue?" Also broke the siege? There is no endless road! Quick, go back and copy three more volumes of the Lotus Sutra for Lone! God forbid! ”
"Is it Huang Degong, Huang Chuangzi's cavalry? It must be very elite! I said two months ago that I should go to Anlu via Fengyang and rest in Huang Chuangzi's defense area, and I will be safe and sound! Uncle Wang, you didn't have to take these detours if you had already listened to me! ”
Fuwang Zhu Yousong also exclaimed and snickered with joy, although it was still mixed with complaints, but it was obviously not as prickly as it was at the beginning.
Anyway, the problem is solved, after all, Uncle Cousin has taken him in for two months, and he should still be grateful to Dade.
Liang Yizhang waited for their initial surprise to calm down before continuing: "Xiaguan has already sent someone to negotiate with Huang Zongzhen in the city, and they have also unexpectedly learned that His Highness and others are in the city. If His Royal Highness wants to break through, please move, comfort Huang Zongzhen, and personally give him an order. ”
Zhu Changshu nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be, if the orphans and nephews can get out of danger, they will definitely play the special honor of the battle of Shangqiu to Your Majesty." Liang Futai, you are loyal and commendable, so naturally you should be rewarded.
General Huang and Zhu Shen are loyal to the country, and they have forgotten themselves. Please Liang Futai quickly lead the way, and go to see the generals in person! ”
