Chapter 11: Chongzhen's funeral

Li Tian walked out of the room in the evening, because he could always hear Chongzhen next door talking about restoring the country and saving the three princes, so the cultivation effect was not very good.

He came out because it was dinner time, and Da Ming had no aura to practice, so he couldn't even use the storage bag, and he had to watch the various elixirs inside.

Li Tian was surprised to see that Princess Changping was still practicing swords, her arms were still sore, and next to her was Feng Xiaowu, who had a worried look.

He went over and stopped, "Princess Changping, stop, you are already very tired, and people who don't exercise often suddenly exercise violently, which will cause serious consequences." ”

Princess Changping lowered her right hand weakly, but she still said stubbornly, "I still have strength, only by refining my swordsmanship can I save them." ”

Feng Xiaowu also persuaded, "Sister Wei Yuan, don't torture yourself like this, quickly put down the sword and rest, practice is not made overnight." ”

Princess Changping couldn't bear the kindness of Xiaowu in the wind, and when she saw Li Tian nodding to herself, she really obediently put down her sword and sat on the stone bench to rest, but her pretty face was secretly red.

Li Tian nodded to Princess Changping, but felt that she was no longer as weak as she saw before after practicing swords, and it was always a good thing that her physique improved.

He smiled and said to Feng Xiaowu, "Senior Sister and Princess Changping have achieved very good results in sword practice, and they have already looked like swordsmen for the first time, and I will teach you the internal skills of Dugu Jiujian after dinner." ”

"When you practice the Crazy Dragon Sword, I will really teach you the first form of the Dugu Nine Swords. ”

Feng Xiaowu nodded and said, "We are cultivators, the strength of the sword technique is not too important, but is it really difficult to get out of the city safely, I can't wait to return to the Qingxia faction." ”

Li Tian sneered and looked at Chongzhen's room and said, "Originally, it would have been easy for the two of us to go out alone, but the emperor of the dead country still wants to revive the Ming Dynasty, maybe there will be many things to do in the future." ”

Feng Xiaowu sighed and said, "Originally, mortal cultivators shouldn't take care of it, but my righteous sister is a princess of the Ming Dynasty, and I also want her to go to the Qingxia Sect to practice with peace of mind. When we recover our spiritual power, we will simply help the Ming Dynasty restore the country. ”

Li Tian smiled lightly, "Senior sister is always so enthusiastic, it's nothing to help a mortal dynasty, but we also have to rush back to the Qingxia faction." ”

When he saw Princess Changping asleep on the stone table, he stopped talking, and the princess of the dead country seemed to be tired.

Feng Xiaowu looked at the sleeping Princess Changping, and said in a firm tone, "I will help this righteous sister later, as a princess of the dead country, she is really pitiful." ”

In the next few days, Feng Xiaowu has been practicing swords with Princess Changping, and at night she has practiced Dugu Jiujian's internal skills, and her life has been fulfilling.

Li Banghua said that now is a troubled time. ordered a batch of iron swords from the clever craftsman, the quality was much better than the one sold on the street, and everyone in Chongzhen's family had a self-defense.

It's just that Princess Zhaoren always makes trouble to play, and she doesn't dare to really take the princess out of the court, so Queen Zhou takes her to play in the courtyard, but the two girls, Feng Xiaowu and Changping, are also practicing swords in the courtyard.

As a result, Zhaoren cried endlessly and wanted to play with the sword, Li Banghua could only let people make a small wooden sword, and under the patient teaching of Feng Xiaowu, he practiced the dragon swordsmanship in a good way, and he didn't lose interest in practicing for a few days.

Li Tianbai taught Feng Xiaowu and Changping Dugu Nine Sword Heart Method. Feng Xiaowu turned around and patiently taught Zhaoren, and it was a hand-in-hand church.

He smiled bitterly when he knew what he said, but when he saw that nothing had happened, he had to let them do it at will.

What is even more surprising is that Empress Zhou also has to practice swords. said that he was born in troubled times to practice a skill to defend himself, and Yuan Guifei carefully curryed favor with Chongzhen, wanting to make him as happy as possible.

Chongzhen asked Yuan Guifei to also practice swords with Li Tian, and even let the two palace maids practice together. It is said that you can't rely on those disloyal ministers, and you can only protect yourself if you become strong.

He was embarrassed to learn from Li Tian, so he learned from Empress Zhou and Changping. Even Li Banghua was driven to practice swords, and the entire Zuodu Imperial Envoy's Mansion was full of sword dancers.

Because he was afraid of causing a search by the Shun army, Li Tian demanded that he should not fight with real troops, and could only practice sword moves and practice internal strength.

After Chongzhen and the others found that their bodies began to become stronger, their interest in practicing swords became even higher.

Li Tian has been going out of the city these days to find a route out of the city, but the Shunjun investigation has been very strict, and Chongzhen's family can't get out of the city at all, so they are mixed in the capital.

Every time he passed by the mourning tent of Chongzhen, he could see the three princes crying, and the soldiers of the Shun army did not dare to relax their vigilance for a moment, and the ministers who were willing to come to worship became more and more rare.

The whole city is filled with an atmosphere of welcoming Dashun, and the singing and ballads of children have never stopped when they play games, no need for Li Banghua to say that the traitor can not last long, anyway, Chongzhen is often silent.

Li Tian was entangled by Feng Xiaowu and Princess Changping, so he had to go out again on the seventh day when Chongzhen was buried, mixed with the residents watching the excitement on the side of the road, and watched the three princes cry bitterly from a distance.

Li Zicheng sent heavy soldiers to take care of the whole process, and only some old people among the residents shed tears, and they talked more about how much taxes the Dashun Dynasty would reduce and exempt, and even scolded Chongzhen for his past mistakes.

The coffin of Chongzhen, who was lying on Wang Chengen, was buried in the tomb of Concubine Tian, and the three princes were escorted back to the city, and the funeral of the Ming Emperor before the whole sacrifice was announced, and only a few Ming ministers secretly shed tears in the crowd.

Li Tian has never been able to find a chance to save people, and the more important reason is that he doesn't want to bring danger to Feng Xiaowu, but he understands Chongzhen's past deeds and thinks that he is a ruthless emperor with great ambitions and talents.

But everyone thinks that Chongzhen is a good emperor who really cares about the people, but he doesn't have the ability to calm the troubled times, and God wants to die.

Li Tian heard that Chongzhen was not a faint monarch who was angry and resentful, and he didn't have any ill feelings towards him, but he was just that the general named Yuan Chenghuan was not worthy, so he decided to leave it alone after taking Chongzhen's family out of the city.

When he returned to Li Banghua's mansion, he saw that Princess Changping was practicing her sword desperately again, Empress Zhou and the others were taking Princess Zhaoren with a sad face, and the door of Chongzhen's room was tightly closed.

Empress Zhou, who was in her thirties, but still pretty, smiled and said to Li Tiandao, "Li Zhuangshi is back, it's hard for you to work so hard for my Zhu family, we can see clearly on the courtyard wall of today's funeral procession, this Ming is really gone." ”

"As long as I protect my family from the capital and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live peacefully, I will never forget the kindness of the two heroes. ”

Yuan Guifei, who is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but looks like a girl, smiled and said, "If it weren't for Li Zhuangshi and Miss Feng to rescue each other, my family would probably have been caught and killed by the rebels, and when the emperor and he went to Jiangnan safely to rebuild the court, there would definitely be high-ranking officials who would repay the two heroes." ”

Queen Zhou said unhappily, "Why can't my sister think about it, these days I always say in my husband's ear about reviving the Ming Dynasty, is it so simple to have a major national event, we can live a safe life is considered to be favored by God." ”

Yuan Guifei didn't immediately refute, but her expression was very displeased.

Li Tian didn't care about the fight between women, shook his head secretly, and said to Feng Xiaowu, "I heard that Xinshun wants the officials of the former dynasty to accept the new official position, and when it stabilizes, the capital will not be so chaotic again, so everyone is ready to go out of the city tomorrow if there is a chance." ”

Feng Xiaowu nodded to Li Tian, and then turned her head to persuade Princess Changping, "Sister, don't be so sad, the three princes have their own chances, and they may be able to be a rich prince in peace for the rest of their lives." ”

Princess Changping bit her lip and swung her sword to chop the flowers and plants, and suddenly abandoned her sword and threw herself into Feng Xiaowu's arms and cried, "Sister, the three blood brothers have fallen into the hands of traitors, how can I leave with confidence, woo woo woo." ”

Chongzhen, who locked himself in the room, heard the cry of Princess Changping and remembered the scene he saw on the courtyard wall, and his heart ached.

Seeing his three young children being guarded by enemy soldiers all the way, and the frightened funeral of his father, as well as the indifferent ministers, he almost couldn't stand this great humiliation and rushed out of the coffin.

Chongzhen was stopped by Feng Xiaowu and Empress Zhou, and he completely understood that the people of the capital were not in their own hands, and it was impossible to revive the Ming Dynasty here no matter what.

He is now worried about the three princes, and he can't decide whether to go into seclusion after leaving the city safely, or go to Jiangnan to work hard again for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, so he just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait for a long time. (To be continued......)
