Chapter 111: Asking for Capture
Two days passed quickly.
Compared with the first time I heard that Chongzhen was caught off guard when he went south, this time the Nanjing officials were much more calm, although it was still too late and there was no financial resources to repair the imperial city, but it was completely possible to expand to a certain extent on the basis of Nanjing's garrison eunuchs, so that it would conform to the etiquette of the Son of Heaven.
Early in the morning, Nanjing officials headed by Shi Kefa came to Yanziji Wharf early to wait for Chongzhen.
But wait, wait, wait, until the end of the hour (11 o'clock in the morning), the sun has reached the middle of the sky, Shi Kefa and other Nanjing officials are already too hot, but Chongzhen has not yet appeared.
"That's not right." Gao Hongtu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The saint said that he didn't want to usher in that set, it wouldn't be true, right?"
"Huh?" Shi Kefa, Jiang Yueguang and several other nearby officials also chuckled when they heard this.
Only then did they remember that Chongzhen specially sent a lieutenant to pass the word yesterday, and he didn't engage in the same thing.
In the end, it was Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who shook his head and said: "No, the Son of Heaven, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, has had a complete set of etiquette since ancient times when he goes out on patrol or returns to Beijing, how can he really not do it if the Holy Lord says not to do it?" Unruly. ”
Gao Hongtu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and the saint hung us in Yanziji, but quietly entered Nanjing from somewhere else, what else can we do with him? Gather the imperial historians to jointly launch a siege on him? Reenact the story of the Great Gift Debate for the country? Can you do this for the sake of such trivial things?
Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden commotion ahead.
"A few elders, a ship is coming, a ship is coming."
Shi Kefa and the others suddenly perked up, did the Holy Lord finally come?
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the ferry finally came to shore, and then a team of Yiding disembarked from the boat.
However, after seeing clearly that the team of Yiding was surrounded by a young man, Shi Kefa and the others were stunned, what is the situation? Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only come? What about the Holy One?
But I still hurried forward to salute.
"Elder Shi Ge, and all the elders."
Zhu Cihong replied and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
"The ministers are here to greet the holy driver." Shi Kefa said a little helplessly, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, but there is something delayed in the Holy Driver, so the date of returning to Beijing has been postponed?" ”
"My father has already returned to Beijing early in the morning."
Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand.
The ministers were stunned.
……
Chongzhen had already entered Nanjing City from Xuanwu Gate at this time, and sat in the Biyong of Guozijian.
Biyong, originally a university set up by Zhou Tianzi, the site is round, surrounded by a pool, and there is a temporary bridge outside the front door.
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were Biyong in Taixue, as a place for respecting Confucianism and performing ceremonies, the emperors of all dynasties needed to give lectures at least once after ascending the throne.
After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he lectured in Beijian.
However, it was the first time to give a lecture in Nanjing.
For this lecture, Chongzhen deliberately wore armor.
It's the one that Gao Qi dive through a few times before, the golden mountain armor, the golden hood, plus a bright red burqa and a big coat, it looks really majestic.
If you take a three-pointed two-edged knife, you can directly play Yang Jian.
However, wearing such a dress in Biyong, a place where Confucianism is respected and ceremonies, is inevitably a little abrupt, and if Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou and other science masters see this scene, they will inevitably be scolded.
But Chongzhen actually did it deliberately, and deliberately wore this body, just to inject martial genes into the blood of the students of Nanjing Guozijian and even the scholars of the whole world.
Confucianism and martial arts have never been dualistic opposites.
In ancient times, even Confucius was a left-handed sword.
Hearing that the Holy Lord had arrived in Biyong, the students of Guozijian immediately flocked to it.
Soon, the entire Biyong Hall was crowded with students, and there was no way to stand in the hall, so many students could only stand outside.
At its peak, there were more than 9,000 students in Nanjing, and by the time of Chongzhen, the number of students had dropped sharply, but there were still more than 2,000.
However, most of them are children of official eunuch families.
Zheng Sen is one of more than 2,000 people.
And Zheng Sen grabbed a good position.
At this time, he was not even ten steps away from Chongzhen.
Looking at the emperor who was close at hand, Zheng Sen could no longer hide the emotions surging in his chest, a good man should wear this armor, follow the saint to Xuzhou, and fight and bleed for the Ming Dynasty!
At this time, the eunuch brought a wooden plank and erected it on Biyong.
Chongzhen picked up the charcoal ash and wrote two words on the wooden board.
After writing the words, Chongzhen looked around and asked, "Who recognizes these two words?" ”
"Holy one, the grass people know it." Zheng Sen raised his hand and replied, "What is written on the Holy Shrine is the word "China!" ”
"Yes, that's exactly what the word for China is in the oracle bone inscription." Chongzhen pointed to the wooden board and said loudly, "Under the banner of Hunting and Hunting, a team of armor soldiers holding Jin Ge guards the central area, this is China. ”
"This is China, our country, we were born and raised in Sri Lanka and will be buried in Sri Lanka!"
"But now, the thieves have been newly defeated, and the army of 200,000 Jiannu has knocked into the fortress, occupied my land, killed my parents, and wanted to force my Han family sons to shave their hair and change clothes, and even more wanted to destroy my temple and shrine in China for more than 5,000 years."
"The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also, how can they let the slaves destroy the injured?"
"Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness, my Han family's clothes have been inherited for more than 2,000 years, how can I let the Jiannu encroachers?"
"Three emperors and five emperors, Qin and Han dynasties successively, my Huaxia temple has lasted for more than 5,000 years, how can you let the builders destroy our society?"
"Towering China, Huanghuang Hanzuo, Daming is the Ming of all scholars, and it is the Ming of all the descendants of Yan and Huang, not the Ming of the Zhu royal family!"
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!"
Hearing this, the brains of Zheng Sen and other students were like being hammered and buzzing.
The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible? The Ming Dynasty is the Ming of all scholars and doctors, and the Ming of all the descendants of Yan and Huang, not the Ming of the Zhu royal family?
This announcement is like a loud bell resounding through the Yong.
The enthusiasm of Zheng Sen and other students boiled at once.
Chongzhen began to raise his arms and shouted: "On the occasion of the establishment of slaves and the time when the world is in turmoil, my Han family sons and daughters should assume the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war, and you and other scholars should read the books of sages and sages, and they should be the example of the world, abandon pen and ink, manipulate Jin Ge, fight for the body and skin of our generation, fight for the clothes of my Han family, and fight for the Huaxia Zongmiao Society!" ”
Speaking of this, Chongzhen accentuated his tone and put the volume to the maximum: "I, I hereby issue an edict to ask for capture, all my Ming scholars, who are between the ages of sixteen and fifty, must respond to the call of the imperial court, and those who are close to me will assemble in Nanjing before the end of the month, and go north with me to the border." ”
"If you are far away, you can go north to Xuzhou by yourself."
"An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 soldiers and 100,000 troops!"
"Let's tell Jiannu with a three-foot Qingfeng, my Ming scholar doesn't just know how to read."
"More than 1,600 years ago, Chen Tang once said: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!"
"Today, I also want to tell the world that the Han family cannot be taken away, the Chinese temple cannot be invaded, and the dignity of the Ming Dynasty cannot be desecrated! Those who dare to blaspheme the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are strong! Kill! ”
Hearing this, Zheng Sen and the other students couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped up.
"Kill!" The next moment, more than 2,000 students shouted hysterically.
The huge sound rushed out of Biyong in an instant, resounded through the Guozijian, and even spread to both sides of the Qinhuai River.
The hundreds of painting boats moored on the Qinhuai River, as well as the hundreds of embroidery buildings on both sides of the Qinhuai River, pushed open the screen windows one after another, and the dark clouds poked out of them one by one, looking in the direction of Guozijian.
Shi Kefa hurriedly came to Jixian's gate with thousands of officials, and happened to hear this shout.
"Are these students crazy? Read a book, what do you shout to kill? Almost all the officials subconsciously burst into this thought in their minds, "Just you, still kill the captives?" It's almost the same as being captured. ”
Shi Kefa wiped his sweat and raised his legs to walk into Jixianmen.
However, at this time, a eunuch wearing a python robe walked out of the Jixian Gate.
Wang Chengen walked to the top of the steps of Jixian Gate, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and read in a sharp voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says!" ”
Hearing this, Shi Kefa and the others quickly knelt down.
Wang Chengen paused, and then read down: "Da Ming is in danger!" ”
"The army of 200,000 Jiannu has entered the fortress, occupied my land, slaughtered my parents, and wanted to force my Han family sons to shave their hair and change clothes, and even more wanted to destroy my temples and shrines that have been in China for more than 5,000 years."
“……”
"The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, all my Ming scholars, all the years between the age of sixteen and fifty need to respond to the call of the imperial court, the nearest person to Nanjing before the end of the month to assemble, with the holy drive together with the north hunt Xuzhou, far away can go north to Xuzhou on their own, along the way to the prefecture and county need to be fed."
"An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 soldiers and 100,000 troops!"
"My great scholar not only knows how to read, but also can carry a three-foot Qingfeng into battle to kill the enemy."
"More than 1,600 years ago, Chen Tang once said: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!"
"Today, my generation of scholars also wants to let Jiannu know that the Han family's clothes cannot be taken away, the Huaxia Temple cannot be invaded, and the dignity of the Ming Dynasty cannot be desecrated! Those who dare to blaspheme my Ming will be punished even if they are strong! ”
"Fight for your parents, wife and children, even if you die, you have no regrets!"
"Fight for Huaxia's clothes, even if you die, you have no regrets!"
"Fight for the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, even if you die, you have no regrets!"
"I have no regrets in this life to enter China, and I will be a Chinese in the next life!" Chin this! ”
"What is this?" Shi Kefa and other Nanjing officials looked confused, what kind of edict is this?
Wang Chengen rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Shi Kefa, and said: "Old Shi Ge, this is the edict that the Lord of Long Live has just issued, let the Ministry of Rites expedite the announcement of the world's scholars and students with 800 miles!" ”
"Princess." Shi Kefa wanted to say something.
But his mouth was open, but he didn't know what to say.
The Holy Lord's decision to issue such an edict without consulting the cabinet is indeed a bit excessive, but it is only a slight excessive, and more importantly, the Holy Lord did the right thing, calling on the scholars of the world to fight for the country and fight for the Ming Dynasty, which is completely reasonable, although they think that there will not be a few scholars who will respond to this edict at all.
In the end, Shi Kefa obediently took the holy decree.
"Minister, I would like to receive the order."
