Chapter 2 The Siege of Jinping Mountain

Ah Jiu looked at Ren Tianxing with admiration, and said proudly: "Tianxing, do you know? Just now you were the most handsome man in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Hehe, so what now?"

"Now...... Now the best man in the world. ”

With a coquettish cry, Ren Tianxing picked up Ah Jiu by the waist and slowly walked to the bed. The curtain hung on the ground, and there was silence in all directions, so quiet that you could hear the cry outside the window, for a long time, a drop, as if to break the lingering dream.

When the sky was bright, the two served each other, freshened up and dressed, and their affection was lingering. After breakfast, Ren Tianxing and Ah Jiu went west out of Beijing and came to Siling in Jinping Mountain, Changping County. Here is located in the northwest of Weicun Town in Hongdong County, commonly known as the South Lao Ye Ding, echoes with the North Lao Ye Ding of Hongdong County, the mountain top is thousands of meters above sea level, climb to the top and look around the four fields, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains are long, only the east is under the mountain, the fertile field is dyed blue. The Fen River is like a silver belt, and the villages are scattered. In March, the wind and the sun are beautiful. Pink and willow green, warblers fly and grass grow, and breathing air can make people feel refreshed.

It's a pity that Ah Jiu rarely spoke along the way, and Ren Tianxing saw that the grass in front of the tomb was overgrown, and it was very desolate. Frowning slightly, he hurriedly pulled out the weeds and wiped the tombstone, Ah Jiu couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and cried in front of the mausoleum.

Ren Tianxing looked at the tombstone of Emperor Chongzhen and said slowly: "Walking by the river, who to speak to with resentment." The old tears blow on the face, the lonely city is a piece, and the eyes are pierced. The remnants of the bloody battle, jumping out of the encirclement, the old country is in love, who knows that the song is left with an empty feast. The first line of the Yangtze River, Wutou Chuwei Road is 3,000, all of which belong to other surnames. The rain turns over the clouds, and the cold waves roll eastward. Everything is paid for smoke. The spirit shows a big move, and the voice is far away from the sea and the sky......"

Ah Jiu was even more sad after hearing this, "Do you know Tianxing? Father Emperor He has been working hard for the stormy Ming Dynasty all his life, I have seen him since I was a child, he does not like to be lustful, does not admire pleasure, every night the imperial study is bright all night, but the other palaces are no lights all night. He did not wear fine clothes, nor did he use gold or silver utensils, and all the expenses in the palace were reduced, and even his clothes had to be sewn and mended for him by the queen mother. He made six edicts against himself, taking all the blame on himself, and only hoped that the country and the people would be safe and the people would be happy. With such a pro-government, even his hair is boiled white, and in the end, everything will be in vain...... Father, may you rest in peace under the Nine Springs...... Tianxing, he accompanied me to see you......"

Ren Tianxing comforted: "It's a pity that he is not in the sky, he is in internal and external troubles, and there is no one available in the court, so he is lonely in the end, 'he has the intention to kill the thief, but he has no power to return to heaven!'"

Ah Jiu said in a low voice: "If it ...... If my father can persist until now, with you to help him, he will definitely revive the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ren Tianxing smiled and did not answer, but he did not think in his heart, "Emperor Chongzhen came out in response to the way of heaven, and naturally there are contradictions everywhere, how can he let him be eloquent? Although he is diligent and thrifty, he is unable to peacefully move the Chinese military, so that they hate each other, depend on each other, and use each other. These civil officials were only from their backgrounds, and they suffered disastrous defeats in several large-scale military activities against the Tartars, which weakened the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, and finally they were unable to suppress Li Zicheng's uprising, which indirectly accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty; although he was resolute and resolute, such as handling the case of the eunuch party, he also had a careful and suspicious and indecisive side, such as whether to deal with the outside or the inside first, and he was always undecided, and he misled the country; he was mean and unkind, and he turned his face ruthlessly, and he also had a sentimental and tender side, and he respected and loved each other for the Zhou Dynasty; he was extremely strict in self-control, did not delay dogs and horses, was not good for women, and lived a simple life; he also often solicited the opinions of the left and right, but he was rigid and self-serving, and could not be humble and acceptable; he knew people and was good at his duties, such as Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, with a generation of civil and military all-rounders, when appointing them, listen to their words, preferential treatment, once they turn their faces, harsh and ruthless, as a result of killing, resulting in the use of people is not specialized, there is a situation of 50 phases of the Chongzhen Dynasty; he is sympathetic to the suffering of the Li people, often issued an edict to sin himself, but looted the people's ointment, increased the excess, and interested the people in fire and water; he worked hard, often recruited the right platform, consulted the gains and losses of the government, and discussed the way of rise and fall with his subordinates, for the political inspection, everything must bow to himself, and he wanted to be the lord of Zhongxing, but he was eager to seek treatment, and the ministers were too sudden, so that people panicked, and his words were cut off, and he often said that he was not a person, and eventually became a lonely person, as for the martyrdom of the coal mountain, from the ear of the only eunuch of the deceased。 Oh, how can such a man be worthy of me to serve him in heaven? If I had been born many years earlier, I would have replaced him......

Ah Jiu said: "Tianxing, do you think Daming will have a chance to revivenation?

Ren Tianxing held her hand and sighed: "Ah Jiu, although you are a daughter, you are worried about the country and the people everywhere, I Ren Tianxing promises you that I will do my best to help you reorganize the mountains and rivers and recreate the sun and the moon." ”

"But, Tianxing...... Since ancient times, 'one will make a thousand bones withered.' Now Kangxi's throne is becoming more and more stable, and the people are ...... The people are also considered to be happy, and we rise up, I don't know how many people will die, is it really right to do this?"

Ren Tianxing gently rubbed the stone tablet with his hand, his eyes were extremely firm, "I only know, 'The people are suffering, and the people are suffering!' 'Heaven and earth are unkind and all things are used as dogs!' Now that hundreds of millions of people are under the rule of Hu Lu, willing to be slaves and slaves, where is the backbone of the dignified Chinese nation? Although these people are alive, they have no soul, like dead corpses. And what I want to do is to awaken the blood of hundreds of millions of people, so that they have the courage to pursue their own happiness, stand up in the face of national oppression, and move forward bravely, so that even if they die, they will leave with their souls, although they are still alive!"

"Well said, the mind is as tough as King Kong, so he is a dignified Chinese husband!"

Ah Jiu was startled, turned his head to look, and saw Fang Baiyu looking at Ren Tianxing with respect on his face, and walked slowly. couldn't help but sneer: "You guy is always mysterious, but what you said is right, Tianxing, if my father sees you, he will be very happy." ”

Fang Baiyu shook his head and said, "Your father and emperor saw Ren Tianxing, and Bacheng was about to arrest him and correct the law on the spot." If Ren Tianxing sees your father, he will definitely enter Beijing before Li Zicheng. ”

Ren Tianxing got up and said with a smile: "How did Brother Fang know that we were here?

Fang Baiyu walked to the tomb and bowed respectfully, and then said, "I know what you mean, but I'm really here to protect you." I have received information that a large number of imperial guards had been lying in ambush nearby two days ago, a few miles away, and now ......"

Ren Tianxing's eyes flashed, "Now the blood droplets must have reported the movements of me and Ah Jiu to Kangxi." And Kangxi will definitely let the soldiers and masters within a radius of a few miles surround this mountain and trap us here. ”

While speaking, there was already a lot of people under the mountain, and the evil atmosphere was permeated, Ren Tianxing smiled faintly and held Ah Jiu's hand tightly, "Are you afraid?"

Ah Jiu smiled brightly, "Today I found that why sentient beings always feel that suffering is greater than happiness, sorrow is greater than joy, and sorrow is greater than happiness, it turns out that we always regard things that do not belong to suffering as suffering, things that do not belong to sorrow as sorrow, and things that do not belong to sorrow as sorrow, and things that should belong to happiness, joy, and happiness are very plain, and we do not regard them as real happiness, joy, and happiness. As long as Tianxing has you by my side, I am the happiest person in the world, how can I have fear, sorrow, and pain?"

Ren Tianxing's heart was moved, he hugged her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Say that you are like a master of the Tao, and return to all sentient beings, do you want to become a monk? But even if you want to become a monk, I will pull you back to me and accompany me day and night." ”

Ah Jiu murmured softly, "Tianxing ......"

Ren Tianxing saw Fang Baiyu standing there, embarrassed, and said gratefully: "Brother Fang, it is superfluous to say words of gratitude at this time, but I really don't know what to say? The last time you sacrificed your life for us in Jiaxing to stop the enemy, this time it was a battle of nine deaths, you could have stayed out of the matter......"

Fang Baiyu shook his head lightly, and said with a straight face: "My family has been favored by the Ming Dynasty for generations, how can I see the princess killed, captured, and humiliated in front of the Tartars?

"What a benevolent and righteous Fang Baiyu, but don't you hear that 'the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister?' The reason why the Ming Dynasty lost the world was because Emperor Chongzhen acted perversely and did not cherish the people, so that the officials forced the people to rebel and the thieves were rampant. Now that I have expelled the rogues in the Qing Dynasty and returned the world to a prosperous world, this is exactly the reason of heaven and the life of people. Princess Changping, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Baiyu, the anti-thief Fang Baiyu of the Huaxing Society, and the Qing Gang who gave me the 'Heavenly Machine' are Ren Tianxing, under your fame, you are actually difficult to deserve! Now in my opinion, you are just a group of ducks and geese waiting to be slaughtered. ”

Ren Tianxing raised his eyes and looked, the black crowd had already sealed the way down the mountain, inlaid with blue, blue, inlaid red, inlaid red, inlaid yellow, inlaid yellow, inlaid white, and white The elite armor of the eight banners was neatly distinguished, and the forward battalion, Xiao cavalry battalion, Jianrui battalion and infantry battalion of each banner performed their duties, some drew swords, some raised guns, some took bows, some raised shields, and there were 3,000 people going up at a cursory glance. Kangxi stood in the middle, with eighteen imperial guards on his side, and more than 20 masters of different colors standing behind, among whom Shangquan Xingang and Yanagi Zongyan were. There were nearly 100 shield-raising elites in front of him.

Ren Tianxing knows that the current situation is nine deaths, even if he has the "courage of ten thousand people", it is difficult to break out of the encirclement, not to mention a Ah Jiu. However, he knew the truth of "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", and he used his internal strength and said: "A good one who obeys heaven and responds to people's lives, Ling Zu was ordered to guard outside the Ming Pass, and instead of wanting to repay the service, he had the ambition of a wolf, stealing the master's family property and territory.

Kangxi said: "Why don't I dare to talk about the principles of heaven when I am ordered by heaven? Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to govern the country, cherished the people, and subdued Mongolia, Daliao, Western Xia, and Tubo to ask the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, which one of them can match me?

There was silence in the audience at first, and then everyone shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... The sound was rolling and endless......

Ah Jiu was so angry that his face turned pale but he was powerless to argue, and his body staggered and almost fainted. Ren Tianxing hurriedly held her up, and slowly input the internal force of Jiuyang Divine Skill, Ah Jiu felt the warm true qi, and his whole body flowed, his spirit was a little more uplifted, and he bit his lip silently.

Ren Tianxing gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to feel at ease, and the look in his eyes seemed to say, "Don't be afraid, everything has me!" Ah Jiu's heart warmed and nodded slightly.

Ren Tianxing suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "What a wise emperor, let me ask you, which is more important, the emperor, the people, and the society?" The voice was like a monstrous wave, and it suppressed the roar of thousands of soldiers. The more than two dozen masters standing behind Kangxi changed color at the same time, and subconsciously took a few steps closer to Kangxi, with a solemn expression.

Kangxi said loudly: "As the old saying goes: 'The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light.'" "Don't Ren Qing know?"
