Chapter 5 Princess Kunxing
"Master, open the door quickly and save Your Highness the Princess!" A fifteen- and six-year-old palace maid, carrying a blood-covered palace girl, stood at the door of Zhou Guozhang's mansion and slapped Zhuhong's door desperately. The girl's face looked bloodless because of excessive blood loss, and one arm was empty. She was Princess Kunxing, whose arm was cut off by Emperor Chongzhen.
The little palace maid is named Fei Zhen'e. She is Princess Kunxing's personal maid. After Emperor Chongzhen cut off one of Princess Kunxing's arm, Fei Zhen'e made a simple bandage on the princess to help her stop the blood, which made the princess survive by chance.
The door opened a crack, and a slave poked his head out of the crack: "This girl, you should go somewhere else. My father-in-law dares not take in the remnants of the previous dynasty here."
Fei Zhen'e knelt down in anger and cried and begged: "Brother, please let Uncle save His Highness, Princess, after all, Princess is Uncle's granddaughter. You can't stand by his death and refuse to save him!"
Zhou Kui's voice came from the door: "Your Highness the Princess has already betrothed to the son of Shangshu Zhou. If the girl wants to save the princess, she should be sent to Shangshu Zhou's house!"
Speaking of which, Zhou Kui is the most shameless father-in-law in China's history. Not to mention the 5,000 taels of silver for Empress Zhou, just say that Chongzhen sent his three sons out of the palace. His three princes had nowhere to go, so he had to go to his grandfather Zhou Kui. Who knew that Zhou Kui had to close the door and prevent the prince from entering the Zhou Mansion. The three princes had no choice but to go to the mansion of a eunuch living outside the palace. Who knew that the eunuch gave all three princes to Li Zicheng in a blink of an eye!
Fei Zhen'e wanted to say something, but she heard the door "bang" and closed the two pitiful and helpless little women.
"Your Highness, you can bear it, you must hold on! I will carry you to Prince Zhou's house now." Fei Zhen'e turned his head helplessly and said to Princess Kunxing on her back.
Princess Kunxing, who was pale, nodded slightly and closed her eyes weakly. A drop of tears dripped from her slender eyelashes, and crystal clear tears slowly flowed down her white cheeks. At this time, she felt mixed feelings in her heart, and the grief of losing her mother (Empress Zhou had committed suicide and died in the country), and her father was missing, and it was probably a great disaster; her grandfather was so heartless that she didn't even let her enter the door! What the slave just said was even more excessive, and she actually said that she was the remnant of the previous dynasty!
Father, this is my daughter’s good grandfather, your good father-in-law! Did the Ming Dynasty become the previous dynasty? How could my own grandfather be so cruel?
Unfortunately, she is a young girl who is only fifteen years old. How could she know so much? If she were in the 21st century, she would still be a junior high school student. Princess Kunxing didn't know that it was her biological grandfather who blocked her brother and younger brother outside the door, causing her brothers to fall into Li Zicheng's hands.
The severe pain touched Princess Kunxing's nerves, which were both tired and painful. Not only was the person tired, but the heart was even more tired; not only was the arm pain, but the heart was even more painful. The princess leaned on Fei Zhen'e's back and fell into a coma again.
Fei Zhen'e carried Princess Kunxing on her back and walked towards Zhou's Princess Zhou's house step by step. Just now she carried the princess out of the palace maid and carried it to the door of Zhou's father-in-law. Unexpectedly, she was turned away by Zhou's father-in-law. Now she has to carry the princess to Zhou's father-in-law. There is still a way from Zhou's father-in-law to Zhou's mansion. It is obvious that the little girl is a little overwhelmed. But Fei Zhen'e, who was eager to save the master, gritted her teeth and held on. She must send the princess to the prince's mansion as soon as possible. The princess's injury was too serious, and she simply stopped the blood for her. If she could not receive timely treatment, the princess might have life worries.
I don’t know how far she walked, but Fei Zhen'e, who was carrying the princess, almost fell down because of her physical exhaustion. In fact, it was not very far from Zhou’s father-in-law to Zhou Shangshu’s family, which was only Sanli. But these Sanli felt that it was longer than 30 miles. After all, her physical fitness was seriously overdrawn. Every time she took a step forward, she felt that it was difficult to take a step like a lead was poured on her legs.
Seeing that Zhou Shangshu's mansion was right in front of her, Fei Zhen'e felt full of strength. She accelerated her pace and walked quickly towards the gate of Zhou's mansion painted with red paint.
"Bang bang bang" Fei Zhen'e slapped the gate of Zhou's mansion.
"Who?" A old voice from the slave's house came from inside.
"There is His Highness outside. Save His Highness. The princess was cut off one of her arm by the emperor. It's almost impossible!" Fei Zhen'e begged with a crying voice.
"Old Nu Rong went in and reported it to me."
Zhou Xing, the Minister of Personnel, was sitting in the lobby drinking tea, but saw the slave in a hurry running in.
"Zhou Fugui, why are you so panicked!" Zhou Xing asked.
"When you say that, a palace maid outside asks for a meeting! He said he was taking the princess to meet the young master." Zhou Fugui replied.
"Close the door of the mansion! No one is allowed to come in! Your Highness, Princess? Let them die on their own!" Zhou Xing said ruthlessly.
At this time, Zhou Shixian heard the movement and ran out from inside. When he heard his father's words, Zhou Shixian knelt on the ground: "My father, after all, it is His Highness the Princess outside, and his wife who has not passed the door. I hope my father will give mercy to save His Highness the Princess!"
Zhou Xing shouted sternly: "The son is not taught! If he took in the princess, he might bring disaster to my Zhou family!"
"But my father, after all, she is my Princess of the Ming Dynasty. My father has been deeply favored by the emperor and should not be so ruthless." Zhou Shixian couldn't stand up and begged hard.
Zhou Xing snorted coldly: "Your Highness Princess? The rebel army has entered the city! Your Majesty has either died or has become a prisoner. How can there be any princess? If the rebel king knows that our Zhou family has sheltered the remnants of the previous dynasty, it is probably a serious crime to kill the nine clans! You are such a life-and-death thing, dare to take in the previous dynasty princess? Don't be anxious if you are not afraid of death, don't implicate dozens of people from all over the Zhou mansion!"
After saying that, Zhou Xing turned to Zhou Fugui and said, "Fugui, go and tell them to find another place and don't come to my husband's house! As the head of the family, I must be responsible for my family, but I don't want to implicate dozens of people in my husband's house because of a woman!"
Zhou Fugui sighed and walked to the door helplessly. The door business was not open, so he shouted inside: "Girl, our mansion said, "Your Highness and Your Highness should look for another place, don't implicate dozens of people in our Zhou family."
Princess Kunxing was unconscious at this time, and no family was willing to take these two poor little girls in. Fei Zhen'e didn't know where she should take the princess. She thought for a while and sighed: "Forget it, forgot it, I'd better send the princess back to the palace first."
Fei Zhen'e walked towards the palace with Princess Kunxing on her back. She met the soldiers passing by from time to time on the road. She was so scared that she subconsciously hid on the side of the road, but the soldiers turned a blind eye to them.
What he said about the King of Chuang who killed and plundered after entering the capital was slandered by the literati and doctors. In fact, after entering the capital, although the military discipline was not strict, it did not harm the people. Li Zicheng was not the common people, but civil officials, gentry and the imperial court. Liu Zongmin's torture and pay for the torture of the sticks and salaries were all clamped out! Li Zicheng baked 70 million taels of silver from the civil and military officials!
All civil and military officials are rich, and how many coins do the common people have? How could Li Zicheng harm the people because of his small loss?
