Chapter 107 The Emperor is Dead
Chapter 107 The Emperor Dies
Xia Wanchun was chewing a white sugar lotus root in his mouth, and he bit the card.
Zhu Ma was sweating profusely and glared at Xia Wanchun countless times, but she had no way to stop him from making noises.
Nearly 700 people hid in the hidden soldiers' cave, watching Li Chuang's bandits rushing towards the city like a meteor.
Just outside the Tibetan camp, more than 300 strong elite bandits stood. The gray coats they were wearing were written with a huge word "break".
The bandits with this word on their chest and back are usually elites in the Dashun army and the personal guards of each general.
Xia Wanchun took out another piece of sugar lotus root from his sleeve and was about to put it in his mouth. When he saw Zhu Mu looking at him begging, he handed the sugar lotus root to Zhu Mu and said, "
It tasted very good, it was difficult to grab something from my two junior brothers."
Zhu Mai looked at the carnival and shouting thieves passing by like a tide. She dared not make any noise. Behind her were her younger brothers, sisters, mothers, and some delicate palace maids and eunuchs. Once the thieves were discovered, she could not imagine what the consequences would be.
"What happened a little bit, our people came a little late, so there was no way to let you out of the city in advance, but it doesn't matter now. After the thieves all entered the city and started robbing, we would leave.
There were people who could pick me up fifteen miles outside the city, and then you went directly to Lantian to meet my master."
Zhu Mai looked at Xia Wanchun angrily without saying a word. Not only did she close her mouth tightly, but everyone in the Tibetan camp looked the same. Even the youngest Princess Zhaoren hid her head in the arms of her mother, Concubine Yuan, as quiet as a sculpture.
As for the three men, Prince, King Yong and King Ding, they sweated like slurry. King Yong even urinated, making the ground wet.
Everyone waited in the Tibetan military cave for two hours, and the troops coming from outside the city became slightly sparse.
Xia Wanchun stood at the gate of the Tibetan Bing Cave and waved to a king of entrepreneurship and said, "Where are our chariots and horses?"
The strong man curled his lips and said, "Wait a minute, we will leave when all the bandits are immersed in the joy of burning, killing, looting."
Xia Wanchun said in surprise: "Huh? You are not the one who broke into the king?"
The strong man smiled and said, "Of course not, I was just ordered to work under Hao Yaoqi's command."
"Where is Hao Yaoqi?"
"I went to the palace, and all their generals went to the palace."
Xia Wanchun said: "Come on the carriage and we'll leave now."
The strong man saw that Xia Wanchun was determined to leave, so he agreed. After a while, he brought nearly two hundred carriages.
It can be seen that Zhu Mai did not learn in vain at Yushan Academy. These people were very orderly when they got on the carriage. As long as there was a carriage, they would go up naturally without anyone being instructed.
After the Lantian Mischief Division members got into the carriage and left the capital as the coachman, Xia Wanchun changed into a very ordinary dress. While chewing the candy lotus, he swaggered into the crowd cheering the king of rushing into the capital.
That's right, when Li Hongji's army was far away in the sky, the people in this city called Li Hongji - bandits!
When Li Hongji's army arrived in Baoding, the title of Li Hongji by the people in this city became - a thief!
After Li Hongji's army surrounded the capital, the title of Li Hongji by the people in this city became - the rebel army!
Now, they are putting on a table of incense in their food pots to welcome the King of Chuang, celebrating the King of Chuang overthrow the corrupt Ming Dynasty, and competing for everyone to have a bright sky.
Strange to say.
The weather on March 18, Jiashen year is sunny and sunny.
The wind and sand that would have filled the whole spring stopped completely today.
Because he wanted to send Zhu Ma off, Xia Wanchun did not see Li Hongji riding into Beijing accepting cheers from the people. He followed the crowd to the palace and saw that the palace gate was closed and only a few tattered flags were floating in the sunset.
Li Hongji was a very polite person. He did not rush to enter the palace, but sent several eunuchs to enter the palace on a ladder. It seemed that he was going to find the emperor to give the final order.
Xia Wanchun saw it very clearly. Many people following Li Hongji were all officials of the Ming Dynasty...
He didn't want to see the flattering faces of these people, so he squeezed out from the front and returned to where he lived in the capital.
At this time, Han Lingshan still did not come back.
He couldn't help but worry. After all, Li Hongji had surrounded the palace and he didn't know how Hanlingshan would come out of the palace by then.
Three waves of people were sent out in a row to inquire, and there was no reply until dark.
At dawn, Xia Wanchun couldn't sit still, so he was going to go to Hao Yaoqi to ask if something happened in Hanlingshan.
Just as he was about to go out, Han Lingshan walked in from outside with a cold wind.
"Where is the emperor?"
"I committed suicide."
After saying this, Han Lingshan seemed to have completely lost the strength to speak, threw down the box on his back, fell straight on the brocade couch and started to sleep.
Xia Wanchun opened the box and saw an edict and a pile of boxes containing seals.
Instead of reading the edict, he skillfully opened the seal box and admired the seals carved from the best jade in the world.
The emperor died, and for Xia Wanchun, an era ended like this.
A man in black pushed open the door and looked at Xia Wanchun.
Xia Wanchun said without raising his head: "The emperor is dead."
The man in black quickly left the room. In a short while, a wolf smoke rose into the sky on the Deshengmen Tower in the capital.
Soon, another wolf smoke rose on the horizon. If a person could soar in the sky like a goshawk, then he would see wolf smoke rising constantly on the earth, and smoke columns started from the capital and headed straight for Xi'an.
When Li Dingguo saw the wolf smoke rising, he couldn't help but whistle to the sky. He understood that from today on, all the chains bound to his body would be removed. From this moment on, the Lantian imperial court was the only master on the land of the Ming Dynasty.
It was only two hundred miles away from Miyun to the capital. The whole army rushed to the capital, two days were enough.
Zhang Guofeng looked at Langyan and breathed a sigh of relief, saying to Li Dingguo Highway: "We want to take down the capital before Yun Yang."
Li Dingguo stroked his bald head and smiled: "Yuntu is still in Shandong, so he can't be faster than us."
Zhang Guofeng shook his head and said, "You forgot that Yun Yang could do anything in order to seize the merits. In order to go to Dezhou, he ordered artillery fire to merge the city and blow up a good city into ruins.
It is because of this that his army advances very quickly, be careful that he will arrive first."
Li Dingguo smiled and said, "Li Hongji's 460,000 troops are basically all in the capital. What direction do you think he will flee?"
Zhang Guofeng said: "He has only one direction to go, and only this direction can avoid the pressure of my Lantian."
Li Dingguo laughed and said, "Shanhaiguan! I hope Li Hongji can take down Shanhaiguan."
Amid Li Dingguo's laughter, the wolf smoke continued to spread to the northwest.
When Yun Zhao saw the wolf smoke, it was already the afternoon of March 19th.
When the wolf smoke appeared in his eyes, the giant bell of Yushan Academy began to ring wildly.
All the officials above the Dalichang Mountain in Yushan gathered in Yunzhao's study room wildly.
Even the old scholars in Yushan Academy who did not leave the academy easily took ox carts to get off Yushan.
When they gathered in the big study, they did not see Yun Zhao's shadow.
Yun Zhao was not here, and everyone went to Zhang Guozhu's Prime Minister's Mansion again. Similarly, Zhang Guozhu was not here either.
I asked the secretary, but no one knew where the two men took the guards.
Yun Zhao put his toes on his toes and broke a branch full of elm seeds from an elm tree, pulled down a handful of elm seeds from it and put them in his mouth, and handed the branch to Zhang Guozhu.
Zhang Guozhu picked a green elm seed and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly: "This year's elm seeds are particularly delicious."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, it's just that spring comes a little late."
Zhang Guozhu said: "Just leap year is just a process of self-correction of astrological signs. Next year, there will be no such problem."
"Emperor Chongzhen is dead..."
When Yun Zhao said this, there was no expression of pleasure on his face, as if he was narrating a fact.
Zhang Guozhu threw the branches into the stream and sighed: "Die early and get better than life, die early and end the pain soon. I think he may not want to live anymore. I just hope that Han Lingshan would kill him."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I gave Han Lingshan the last authority. If Chongzhen didn't want to die, he could live. It seems that Chongzhen chose to die for his country."
Zhang Guozhu kicked away a stone that was in the way, rubbed his face with his hands and said, "The burden has fallen on us. In the future, the world is not well governed, and no one will say it is the bad of Emperor Chongzhen. He will only say that we are incompetent in Lantian.
In the future, when encountering natural disasters, no one will say that Chongzhen has suffered a loss in virtue. They will only say that it was our Lantian who caused the grudges of the sky.
In the future, if we cannot give the people a good life and good order, when the world becomes turbulent again, all the murder weapons we develop will only kill more people in our world."
Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said, "We are different. Except for us, no one in the Ming Dynasty is qualified to rule our world. Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, and Dorgon, who had just won the power, were not successful."
Zhang Guozhu looked at Yun Zhao in surprise and said, "It's fine if Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, why is there any Dorgon's business?"
Yun Zhao sneered and said, "If I hadn't been my Lantian, the one who captured the world of Ming Dynasty would have been Dorgon."
Zhang Guozhu looked at Yun Zhao's serious face again and said, "Can a million Jianzhou people rule my Ming Dynasty?"
Yun Zhao squatted in the stream and sank his hot hands in the water, saying lightly: "There is more than one million people who rule a nation with broken backbone."
Zhang Guozhu didn't understand why Yun Zhao said these bad words on such an important day today, so he listened to Yun Zhao continued.
"The reason why I return power to the people is to make them stand up and behave. In this world, backbone is the foundation that can truly make a country stand up completely.
