Chapter 273: Aftermath 1
The autumn wind is bleak, and there is an early cold wind blowing.
In the Wenhua Palace, twelve huge copper furnaces are distributed in the hall, burning red, and the heat in the whole palace is a little breathless. The fine snowflake charcoal burned hoarsely, and every time the tea was served, a thin layer of silver silk flipped off, and the invisible smoke was led out of the house along the delicate pipes.
The hall was empty, and Zhu Yunwen sat in front of the dragon book case, wearing a thin gilded shirt and dragon brocade. The incense burner on the table is full of green smoke, musk is not allowed to be used in the palace, and the incense burner in Quanzhou is special for the cypress wood.
Zhu Yunwen just stared at the repeated green smoke in a daze, engrossed, but his thoughts were tied to the secret report of the brocade clothes that was tiled between him and the incense burner.
After the early dynasty, Ji Gang sent this secret report, he read it with a stick of incense, and spent another hour thinking about the authenticity of what was written on it, until now, three hours have passed, and he still has not come to a final conclusion.
"Squeak... ”
The closed door of the hall gently pushed open a small gap, Zhu Yunwen frowned, raised his head, and saw Liu Xi walking in with a thick stack of red and blue covers, about forty copies.
"Your Majesty," Liu Xi tiptoed forward, gently put the fold in his hand on the foot of the bookcase, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's already unitary time, it's dark outside, you... It's time to eat. ”
"No hurry, no hurry. Wait. Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, absent-minded.
Seeing this, Liu Xi didn't say much, just glanced at the secret report submitted by Ji Gang, didn't see anything clearly, then turned around and walked towards a corner of the hall, and in a moment, a nondescript Longjing tea with sugar was served to Zhu Yunwen's hand.
Zhu Yunwen picked it up, his dry throat was sweetly moistened, and he seemed to come back to his senses: "Liu Xi." ”
"The slave is here. ”
"The news sent by Jinyiwei, you... You know what?"
"The slave doesn't know. Liu Xi replied naturally.
"Take a look. Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand and pointed to the fold on the table, and smiled reluctantly.
Liu Xi gently leaned over and picked up the fold, looked at it at a glance, his face turned white, turned red, and finally, returned to normal.
"Done?"
"The slave is done. ”
"Believe it?"
Liu Xi was silent.
Zhu Yunwen didn't care either, and said to himself: "A nameless fire, 40,000 people in Ganzhou City and 3,000 black-hearted guards in Dongchang almost didn't survive.
Outside the city, the iron cavalry of Longmen, the remnants of the Tartars outside the city, and the 70,000 soldiers of Ningxia Wei, the rest are only 40,000, most of whom died in the hands of a ghost full of demon fire,
Cao Guogong Li Jinglong also died at his hands, and this ghost covered in demonic fire is suspected to be... Dongchang factory company.
Chaos, jade and jade. It's really jade... It's all burning... ”
Zhu Yunwen let out a long sigh, and between his words, a few lines of pen and ink were written, recording the deaths of more than 100,000 people and the destruction of a major town.
Until this moment, Zhu Yunwen still couldn't believe the record on this secret fold, but... I have to believe it again. The kind-hearted emperor is growing, but the kindness in his heart has never been extinguished.
In the cold numbers, there was a horror he had never experienced, he... At a loss.
The transfer of Ningxia Wei to Ganzhou was his willful action, and now the result, if there is really a loser, then the loser must be him.
The total population of the Ming Dynasty was only 14 million, and this loss was incalculable. To be more realistic, how should he face the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty tomorrow in the morning? In the future, when the news spreads to the world, how should he face the people of the world?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Liu Xi called a few times, and suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty, I don't know why you are worried? In the battle of Ganzhou, the Yuan Meng's Tatar Qi was exhausted, and the elite was exhausted, this is cool, well, another big victory after fishing in the sea, Your Majesty should be happy?"
"Are you playing tricks on me?" Zhu Yunwen got up angrily, flipped over the table in front of him, grabbed Liu Xi's placket, and looked hideous: "Together with the people of Ganzhou, nearly 200,000 people of the Ming Dynasty are gone, you make me happy? How should I be happy? How can I be happy?
Pushing heavily, Liu Xi didn't dare to resist, fell to the ground, hurriedly turned over and knelt down, but never kowtowed and begged for mercy, his face skillfully squeezed out a frightened look, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, and listen to the slave and maid." ”
"Say!"
"Your Majesty," Liu Xi kowtowed, then raised his head again, and faced the wrath of the true dragon: "Your Majesty is also a person who practices martial arts, and you should know that martial arts have no end and no end." A hundred enemies, a thousand enemies are already difficult to find, not to mention the 10,000 enemies on the battle array, just like myths and legends.
His Majesty asked the slave maid if he believed the secret report of the brocade guard, and the slave and maid believed it, and the casualties in the first battle of Ganzhou City were huge, and the specific number of people would only be more, not less. Your Majesty's suspicions are nothing more than the identity of the ghost?"
Liu Xi paused, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "The ghost who slaughtered tens of thousands of people mentioned in the Jinyi Wei secret report may exist, and the slave maid will treat him as true. And if it is true, the slave firmly believes that he is the wishful father-in-law!
Ruyi's father-in-law traveled in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and His Majesty knew about the old things that he had obtained from Zhang Xianren's Jindan, and only Zhang Xianren's Jindan had such a great power beyond the mortal world, not so much that he was a ghost, but that he was an innate true person who brought the martial arts to the end?"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his brows furrowed, but his angry mood gradually eased, and he slowly sat down on the chair and patted his knee: "Go on." ”
"Yes. Liu Xi kowtowed again, spoke again, and faintly cried: "Your Majesty, the slave is a eunuch, and so is the Ruyi father-in-law." The slaves and maids who are both His Majesty can best understand each other's state of mind.
A desperate letter, Ruyi's father-in-law has already saved his will to die for His Majesty, and he has left his life behind. Nearly 200,000 people were killed and wounded, the city of Ganzhou was destroyed, and the three thousand black-hearted guards were almost not alive.
But Ruyi's father-in-law's identity, he did not hesitate to fight on the battlefield in person, what is supporting him? That is the battlefield of tens of thousands of sword soldiers!
Yes, he did kill a lot of people, but Your Majesty, you should believe that Ruyi father-in-law he... I did my best!"
"But that's not one person, two people, not even a hundred, a thousand, that's tens of thousands of people!
"Your Majesty doesn't need to explain," Liu Xi suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is a person in the world, the Ninety-Five Supreme, why do you want to explain to the people of the world! Your Majesty, let's take a step back and say, the Beiping Yan thief has always had a rebellion, and His Majesty will have a battle with him, at that time, Ruyi's father-in-law, a congenital real person, will fight for you, compared to the weight of Jiuding, the price of 200,000 lives, isn't it worth it?"
