Chapter 523: Meeting Your Majesty, No regrets in this life

The assassination of the assassin of the Qing Tartars, and the current Tartars cannot even spread the news of this shady blame. What kind of assassin is there to talk about?

Even Liu Yuanbin's own troops did not believe this explanation, let alone the officials and people in the capital. Not to believe it is on the one hand, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Chongzhen was so stupid in the capital, which really made Shandong and even the officials and people in the capital uncomfortable.

You said that if you know how to do things and want to save your life, you should follow the opportunity to sign Duke Qi as King of Qi, and then add Jiuxi. Although Duke Qi is born in a rash family, he has always been open and upright in his work and will definitely not take your life. At least he will not worry about wealth in the next life.

If you want to cheer up again, everyone in the world knows that the prince is in Jiangnan and has a large-scale foundation there. Why not go to Nanjing quickly and preserve a little strength of the Ming Dynasty? In the capital, except for an isolated city, it has become a dead place to be surrounded by the Duke of Qi.

But you just stay in the imperial city, saying that you are not wrong every day, just as you are the wise ruler, the whole world is a minister of the country and a people of the country.

There is such a sign where there are always some loyal and unsightly soldiers who are going to guard it. This guard must have to go to war with the elite troops of the Duke of Qi. At this time, everyone's safety and property will not be guaranteed. As for those with official positions and still want to gain wealth in the Xin Dynasty. If the fight starts, the Duke of Qi will be exaggerated and the consequences will be implicated and everyone will be punished. Wouldn't that delay the big deal?

In the end, Eunuch Liu could understand clearly and led people into the palace to understand a concern for everyone. Think about who was the emperor who was strangled by the people below in the past few thousand years, and the king of the country was still the one who destroyed the country. Tsk, wasn’t that Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui? Chongzhen, who was not flexible, ruined the Ming Dynasty’s three hundred years of country, and even found such a stigma for himself.

The so-called Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, and even the eunuch Party that relies on eunuchs, as well as the group of nobles and military officers who have various relationships with the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, usually shouted the slogan of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. When Emperor Chongzhen was assassinated by the "Tartar Assassins", the eunuch of the admiral Beijing camp Liu Yuanbin took over the defense of the capital in an unjust manner, but no one spoke any righteous indignation or loyalty.

Although everyone knew it, Eunuch Liu even dared to take action. If the people below wanted to have any reaction, the vicious Chu army would not be polite.

If you say that these more than 20,000 soldiers are already considered to be doing well, except for being arrogant and domineering, and sometimes without paying for buying things, they are basically considered strict military discipline, not burning, killing, looting, and doing things that are harmful to nature. I guess they are to maintain public order and show the Duke of Qi from Shandong.

After Liu Yuanbin did this, he delivered letters to representatives from Shandong in the capital overnight. Several envoys did not hesitate to put on the clothes of Liu Yuanbin's soldiers, and went directly to the palace to check, then set off in the capital, and sent a 600-mile urgent letter to Shandong at night.

Several more messengers sent messages to Zhang Jiang, the general of Hebei who had already entered the Jiaozhou Camp who had entered Wuqing County, and Zhang Jiang, the general of Hebei who had returned to the Tianjin Three Guards of Hejian Prefecture, who was waiting for news.

Li Meng received the news on the early morning of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, but this did not disturb his sleep because he was in the room of the old eunuch Liu Fulai.

The old man's body reached this age and suddenly became very big. He was infected with wind and cold, but he thought it was a minor illness, and it improved around the 27th day of the 12th lunar month. Who would have thought that the condition of the 29th day of the 12th lunar month had a sharp turn. Several famous Shandong doctors invited to see the doctor were trembling.

A doctor who is a very skilled doctor who is said to have been treating the Confucius Mansion for generations speculated that the old eunuch Liu Fulai might have had some disease when he was young, and it was not easy to be so easy at that time. This time, the infection with the cold was caused by the wind and cold, and it turned out to be such an uncontrollable situation.

Fortunately, although Li Meng was rumored to be a god of killing in the Confucius Mansion, he was a reasonable person after contacting him. After several doctors received generous rewards, he still explained a few words. It was just that Liu Fulai's health was probably not as good as the past few days, so let's spend more time with his relatives!

On the evening of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the old eunuch Liu Fulai was in a state of silence and fell into a coma. As a nephew, Li Meng was also staying in front of the bed.

The incident in the capital was the first major event in the Jiaozhou camp. No matter where the Duke of Qi was, the letter must be handed over to him as soon as possible.

Li Meng took the letter and waved his subordinates back. After unfolding it, it was a coincidence that Liu Fulai woke up from his coma, and his eyes were also on the letter. Li Meng understood and read it in a deep voice:

"Chongzhen is dead."

Although Li Meng had known this result, he could not help but relax. After hearing the news, the old eunuch Liu Fulai reacted even more fiercely. His breathing, which was originally very weak, became more intense. Li Meng was a little anxious. After such a movement, Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao, who were sleepy and unable to bear it, were also awakened and hurried forward. When they saw the old eunuch like this, they were a little anxious.

However, Liu Fulai's spirit gradually improved, and his face became a little rosy. Seeing the two female relatives going to greet the doctor in, he quickly spoke up and stopped:

"It's okay, it's okay, but this spirit is better than when I got sick a few days ago. Don't call the doctor in first, let's talk to Li Meng."

What does it mean to meet? The few people in the room can see clearly that the old eunuch is simply a reflection of the whole world. Li Meng stepped forward and held Liu Fulai's outstretched hand, but lowered his head. He didn't want people to see that his eyes were already a little red. After so many years of getting along, the old eunuch Liu Fulai is indeed a relative of him.

Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao on the side could not help crying, and they forced themselves to stop crying. Liu Fulai's eyes gradually became brighter, holding Li Meng's hand. Although the light in the room was bright, he could only see Li Meng alone now.

Liu Fulai said with gratitude:

"Our family will be lonely for the first half of their lives and enjoy happiness for the second half of their lives. This is all about meeting..."

Having said this, the whole person suddenly became weak and decayed, and the words were drowned by a burst of rapid coughing. Li Meng hurried forward, but saw the old eunuch's mouth trembling. He had never finished speaking, so he hurriedly came over to listen, but heard Liu Fulai whisper:

"...I met Your Majesty in this life..."

Then there was no sound again. Li Meng stood up and saw that the smile on Liu Fulai's face had already froze. Li Meng turned around and shouted loudly at the door:

"Come in, doctor!!!!"

Three military doctors from Jiaozhou camp who were waiting outside hurriedly ran in. Mu Yunyao pulled Yan Ruoran and flashed behind the screen. A military doctor tried it between the old eunuch's heart and nose, turned around and said to Li Meng:

"Mr. Duke's Day, the eldest son is here!!"

Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao behind the screen were already crying. When they heard the news, Li Meng closed his eyes and raised his head. The military doctors bowed and did not dare to look. They rarely saw Duke Qi like such a disobedient look. It is better to listen less and read less.

Li Meng rubbed his eyes with his hands and did not stay in the room. Instead, he turned around and went out. Luo Xi, the butler of the Duke of Qi Mansion, was waiting outside the door. Li Meng took a few steps before saying awkwardly:

"Military and national affairs are important. Keep the funeral simple. The Duke's Office has been mourning for three days. Except for relatives and friends, there is no need to pay condolences in all officialdoms."

Luo Xi agreed respectfully and hurriedly turned around to handle the matter. Li Meng walked out of the room with big strides. The family and servants below rushed over from all over the place. The entire Duke of Qi's mansion had become noisy and busy.

This incident in Shandong can only be said to be Li Meng's own private affairs, and it has no impact on the overall situation. This New Year in the capital is destined to be deserted, and the people are waiting and watching tremblingly, while the officials and nobles in the capital are walking around and discussing each other like crazy, just to come up with a charter.

The refuge is divided into different levels. If everyone comes together, they can sell it at a good price. If they go there in a scattered manner, they may not get any benefits. If they are not prepared, they will be suppressed by the other party.

Liu Yuanbin is currently the capital. He has been a little anxious these days. The capital's public security is a little uncontrollable. It's okay on the whole, but the capital's big city is not as easy as 20,000 soldiers. They are about to be surrendered. Even Liu Yuanbin's own 20,000 soldiers were panicked. After hearing that Emperor Chongzhen was "assassinated", the nearly 100,000 soldiers from the capital outside the city were all over. The hearts of the people were completely destroyed. Then they collapsed. The capital was firmly controlled by Liu Yuanbin's direct troops. They knew that they could not take it down, so they could only run around.

There were many imperial and noble manors near the capital, and this time they suffered a great disaster. These defeated soldiers rushed in, burned, killed, looted, and caused great harm.

The large group of people could not enter the capital, but some bold defeated soldiers and small gangs also took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the capital and do some tricks in the city, causing the Chu army, the yamen runners who are still on duty and the soldiers of the five cities to run around, and it is extremely miserable.

On the afternoon of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, as promised, four regiments from Jiaozhou Camp in Wuqing County arrived at the capital. Before it was dark, cannons had been placed on the walls of the Forbidden City and the outer city. Fully armed Shandong soldiers began to patrol the streets, and public security quickly improved.

At the same time, the infantry and armed salt deer of Hejian Prefecture, led by Wang Tao, deputy general of the Hebei Army, to fully enter Shuntian Prefecture to suppress bandits and suppress bandits.
