On the city wall, Chang Yu, wearing a bamboo hat, rode on horseback and led a group of attendants, going around from Guangqu Gate to Anding Gate to take a look. He saw that almost all the Tatars had withdrawn, except those lying on the ground, because they were all dead.
Looking at the due north from a distance, the rain curtain obscured my eyes and made it difficult to see. I left a cold snort. When I arrived at Deshengmen, I saw Wang Jiayan in the tower looking at the due north in a daze. It took him a while to realize that Chang Yu was behind him. He gave a wry smile: "Factory
When did the governor come?"
"I've been here for a while, but Mr. Wang doesn't know that he has something on his mind. Can you tell me?" Chang Yu smiled slightly, and Wang Jiayan shook his head with a wry smile: "What's on my mind? I'm just worried that even if the Tatars evacuate the capital,
No worries, and I have pitied the people around me. These dog Tatars are cruel and unscrupulous, leaving no chickens or dogs behind..."
Wang Jiayan cursed angrily, but Chang Yu just chuckled and said nothing. When he calmed down a little, he said: "I'm afraid this is not what Mr. Wang is worried about."
Wang Jiayan was startled, turned his head and looked outside and sighed: "This rain is strange."
Chang Yu approached the lookout and looked at the rain curtain outside, also raising his eyebrows. He did not believe in ghosts and gods, but throughout the ages, whenever major events happened in the world, such as the change of dynasties, the loss of giants, etc., strange phenomena would occur. This rare heavy rain was also a strange phenomenon.
The mortal world always coincides with God's will.
In the rain curtain in the west, a group of men and horses were seen slowly heading north. The defenders reported that the Tatars in the south were withdrawing their troops. Wang Jiayan was worried about the safety of the Ming army coming to rescue, while Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Everything is fine!"
If the friendly forces suffered a defeat and the Tatars failed to attack the city, they would send additional reinforcements to take advantage of the situation and pursue the victory. At this time, it was obvious that they had not gained much advantage by withdrawing their troops and returning to camp, at least not a big one.
It seems that this rain not only relieved the siege of the capital, but also relieved Huang Degong.
This is a good sign!
"Good rain knows the season!" Chang Yu laughed: "Master Wang, we will have a great time later!"
"After defending the city, you should be drunk!" A smile appeared on Wang Jiayan's tired face, and he saw the eunuch coming from the palace: "Eunuch Chang, the emperor summons you to the palace!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen had already changed into clean clothes, ordered incense and made tea on the table. Chang Yu pushed the door open and entered the palace. Emperor Chongzhen stood up to welcome him: "Your Majesty, I forgive you for frightening you. I am useless!"
Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward to hold his hand: "What's the crime? No one here has thrown away those red tapes." After saying this, he asked Wang Chenen to move a stool over for Chang Yu to sit down: "The Tatars attacked the city but failed to return. You have done a good job in defending the city."
Why are you useless? If you are useless, everyone in the Ming Dynasty will be useless." He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Actually, they are all a bunch of useless people. If something goes wrong, all the commanders will scratch their heads and cheeks, and there is no other use."
Chang Yu was so humble that he didn't even dare to say anything. Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he saw that he was not taking credit. When he asked Guangqumen why the Tatar army broke into the door, Chang Yu told the truth that it was because of his carelessness that the Tatar water ghosts took advantage of it.
enter.
Emperor Chongzhen was frightened and angry. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. He was so angry that he repeatedly questioned the person in charge of Water Gate. Chang Yu told him that Dongchang had captured him!
"Cut it down to show the public! To serve as a warning to others"! Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and Chang Yu repeatedly comforted him. Killing him in an emergency might destabilize the army, and after discovering the water ghost, the enemy also resisted with all his strength. He did not neglect the fight, not to mention that he was also careless.
responsibility.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Chang Yu for a long time, and finally sighed: "Humanity is kind and does not control soldiers, but you...ah, the outside world still says that you are ruthless!"
"I am only ruthless towards domestic thieves and foreign enemies." Chang Yu smiled slightly: "What's more, I don't command troops, I only supervise them."
Chongzhen sighed: "If someone else encounters this matter, they would like to shirk it completely, but you blame it on yourself. Chang Yu, if I didn't know that you are loyal and loyal, I would really regard your move as a deliberate hypocrisy, just for the sake of A drama put on for me to see."
Chang Yu smiled calmly: "Lu Yao knows horse power. Whether I am being pretentious or not, the Emperor will know later!"
"I don't need to know in the future, I know that you are the most loyal ear in the Ming Dynasty right now!"
Chang Yu stood up and held his hands in his hands: "According to the emperor's words, I will be so devastated that I will die without giving up!"
Emperor Chongzhen laughed loudly, picked up the tea and walked to Chang Yu and handed it to him: "It's time for me to employ people, so you can't die. Come and tell me how you are going to deal with those dog Tatars outside the city." "As he said this, he glanced out the window and couldn't help but mutter: "It's raining heavily!"
In the Kunning Palace, Queen Zhou woke up slowly. The imperial doctor resigned after being told that nothing was serious. Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief and were busy serving tea and pouring water.
Empress Zhou was lying on the bed, her face gradually recovered, and she even smiled slightly: "That Chang Yu is so powerful, the dog Tatars can attack him when they come in..."
"No," a palace maid beside the bed said, "My maid just heard from the boatmen of Qianqing Palace that the Tatars sneaked in from the waterway. There were hundreds of them. They suddenly grabbed the door and almost opened the city gate... "
Ah, everyone exclaimed. Even though they knew that the Tatars did not enter the door in the end, they still couldn't help shouting: "Then, what should we do..."
"Then, the officers and soldiers guarding the city fought tooth and nail to prevent them from opening the door. However, there were too many Tatars who took advantage of our unpreparedness to attack. The officers and soldiers at the city gate could not defeat them..."
"Oh, what can we do?"
"At this moment, Wu Daguo, the commander of the Black Wolf Battalion under Chang Eunuch's command, came with his men. Queen, do you know that there are four battalions of soldiers and horses under Chang Eunuch's command? It's amazing... That Wu Daguo is five big and three thick, and he can carry He came over with a machete and killed him... That big man Wu was the most powerful one among Eunuch Chang's men, killing people like crazy... Later, Eunuch Chang himself brought people to kill him again, and finally killed all the Tatars who had sneaked in. It’s all gone. Queen, do you know how many Tatars there are? Three hundred and fourteen. Eunuch Chang ordered all their heads to be cut off and hung on the city..."
Ah! Everyone exclaimed again.
Just a few words, but it is related to the rise and fall of a city and a country. Although the maid's eloquent words are not as eloquent as a storyteller, they are still shocking to everyone. Empress Zhou covered her chest again and again, and finally smiled: "Fortunately, That Chang Yu, fortunately, fortunately"
"No, you said that our inner palace has produced a figure in so many years. Although this Eunuch Chang is young, he is an upright man. Not only is he superb in martial arts, but he has never been defeated even when marching and fighting..." Several palace maids She was chattering about rumors about Chang Yu, and Queen Zhou listened with great interest. Even if there were deviations, she laughed it off without making any corrections, thinking that these eunuchs and maids in the inner palace almost regarded Chang Yu as a god.
But no, Chang Yu is the patron saint of Lao Zhu's family. If it weren't for him, the Ming Dynasty would have been destroyed and Lao Zhu's family would have been ruined. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad: "Hey, where is Kunxing? Can we find it?" Is she here?"
In the early morning, when the Tatars were attacking the city, Empress Zhou panicked and asked the palace maids to call her children to her side. However, she had to report that after hearing the warning, Princess Kunning took her personal palace maid Ping'er out of the palace and disappeared to nowhere.
Where could this girl run? Zhou Huanggong thought that she couldn't run anywhere even if the palace door was closed, so he felt at ease and asked the palace maid to search around. Then he forgot about it, and finally remembered it.
Talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and at this moment Kunxing Princess Zhu Auao came in hurriedly: "Queen mother, are you okay? I just heard that you..." Looking at the Zhou Empress Zhu Auao on the bed, her eyes were sore and she shed tears. These damn things
The dog Tatar, look what he has done to his family.
"My son, where have you been? Don't cry, don't cry, my mother is fine..." Queen Zhou quickly took Zhu A'ao's hand to comfort her.
"The child was woken up early in the morning and asked the palace people. He was afraid when he learned that the Tatars were attacking the city. He was about to come to find his mother, but he happened to see his father leaving the palace in a hurry. The child was bold enough to go out with his father to watch the battle, but he was afraid of his father's reprimand.
Then I went to the Great Gaoxuan Hall in the west to pray for blessings... Queen mother, look, the old man has really appeared, and the Tatars have really been beaten away..."
Although Zhu Chongba was born as a monk, he didn't seem to want the world to agree with this. After becoming the emperor, he converted to Taoism. After all, Taoism is the belief of our native Han family. Almost all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty believed in it, and they were all busy looking for Zhang Sanfeng.
, a Taoist temple was also built in the imperial palace. The Grand Gaoxuan Hall is the royal Taoist temple. It is located next to Taiye Pool on the west side of Long live Mountain outside the north gate of the palace.
"My son is so brave. How could he sneak out? If your father knew about this, he would have to give you a lesson. For the sake of your sincerity in letting Lao Jun appear, my mother will help you cover it up once. This will not happen next time." Zhou Huanggong
I already doted on Zhu Ainao, and I was in a good mood at this time, but I didn't pursue it.
Although it was not the first time that Zhu Yuyao had lied, it was definitely the first time that she had made such a big fuss. Not to mention how nervous she was, but she knew in her heart that if she couldn't cover it up this time, it would be a great disadvantage to both Chang Yu and Chunxiang. More importantly,
I will never have the chance to go out to have fun again!
