There is a saying that people are timid when close to home. Logically speaking, this is not appropriate for Chang Yu at this time, but he is indeed a little nervous. Could it be because of his guilty conscience? It was obviously a mistake in the deployment that allowed Dorgon to break through, but he was still a little nervous.
In order to prevent political opponents from making a big fuss, he went back to Beijing to take credit in person?
Li Muxian's words are correct. It is obviously a great achievement for a soldier to kill the enemy with blood!
He couldn't explain it clearly, and Chang Yu felt very complicated in his heart, maybe because he wasn't so upright this time!
Everyone galloped for dozens of miles, their mounts were tired and they let their horses go slowly. Chang Yu encountered a few teams of logistics soldiers and asked briefly before continuing on. The soldiers told them that they would be able to reach the capital before twenty miles of Hai hour (nine o'clock in the evening).
.
In this case, there was no need for Chang Yu to tire himself out while galloping all the way. He slowed down, adjusted his mind, and chatted with the people around him. The evening breeze was cool, and there were cicadas chirping and frogs croaking on the roadside. It felt like he was back in the countryside of his childhood.
So peaceful and friendly, who would have thought that just now there was a bloody storm.
During the chat, a strange bird call broke the quiet night. Jia Waixiong frowned and cursed: "This damn crow!"
Crow? Chang Yu was startled: "Is that the crow of a crow?" He really had never heard a crow cry before. Everyone nodded awkwardly. Crows have always been regarded as an ominous sign, but now they heard the crow when they returned to Beijing.
No wonder everyone is so disgusted.
"If a Taoist leader is here, it will definitely be a bad omen." Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Chang Yu knew that they had scruples, so he smiled lightly and pointed at Li Muchian.
Everyone dealt with it with a smile, but suddenly they heard the sound of a string and a croak in the distance. A big tree more than ten meters away dropped something and fluttered on the ground. One of his own soldiers moved forward to provoke it, but it turned out to be true.
It's a crow, but with an arrow stuck in its wing!
Awesome! Chang Yu extended his thumb to Kuang Ren next to him. It was dark and difficult to see, but Kuang Ren could hear the sound and identify the location, and hit the target with one arrow. He felt inferior at this! He deeply felt that these days
It’s amazing how well people play with cold weapons!
"Even if it is a bad omen, it has been understood by the Archer now, so what do you have to worry about?" Chang Yu picked up the crow and looked at it again, then put it on the torch to roast it!
Half an hour later, Chang Yu and his party arrived outside Dongzhimen. A guard went to call the door, saying that Dongchang was entering the city for business. However, seeing so many soldiers and horses, the guards did not dare to open the door, saying that they wanted to inform Wang Jiayan, the governor of the capital camp, to come.
Verify identity.
Chang Yu didn't have time to wait for Wang Jiayan, so he asked Chen Ruxin to call the door with his waist card. The guards were shocked when they saw that it was the governor of the East Factory, but they were even more suspicious. The eunuch was leading troops to chase the Tatars. Why?
He suddenly returned to Beijing late at night, but even though he was suspicious, he didn't dare to disobey the order. He hurriedly opened the door and let Chang Yu and his entourage into the city, but he was still worried and secretly afraid.
After entering the city, we walked quickly all the way, and after a while we arrived outside the Dong'an Gate of the imperial city. Chang Yu entered the palace, and the guards returned to the Yamen to rest.
But after Chang Yu entered the imperial city, he got on the carriage that had been prepared and went to the inner Yamen of the East Factory. He simply washed up and changed into quick clothes, and hurriedly entered the palace through the Donghua Gate. There were already eunuchs from the harem waiting for him.
, saluted hurriedly: "Eunuch Chang, your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chang Yu hummed and hurried towards Qianqing Gate. When passing by Duanben Palace, he saw the prince raising his head not far away. When he saw Qing Qing, he looked shocked: "Chang Yu, why are you entering at this time?"
Palace, did something important happen?"
"My lord, I have met your highness." Chang Yu quickly saluted, and then smiled slightly: "Great victory, come back to Beijing to report the good news!"
"Big... great victory! Really, it's great, it's great, but you can drive away Dorgon?" Zhu Cixiang grabbed Chang Yu's arm, yelled and jumped around!
"Your Highness, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time. I have to go to see the emperor first. How about we talk later?" Chang Yu couldn't stand Zhu Cixiang's shaking and said quickly.
"Go quickly, I'm waiting for you..." Zhu Cixiang couldn't hold back his ecstasy and waved to Chang Yu: "Go and come back quickly!"
Chang Yu nodded and turned to leave. When he was almost at the Qianqing Gate, he saw the palace gate wide open and heavy troops surrounding it. He couldn't help but be startled. The eunuch who was leading the way saw his doubts and said quickly: "Your Majesty learned that Eunuch Chang returned to Beijing late at night. I have a special order to open the Qianqing Gate and allow Eunuch Chang to come in as you please..."
Chang Yu suddenly smiled bitterly. With his intelligence, he could see through Emperor Chongzhen's pretentious and contrived behavior at a glance. It seemed that he was doting on his ministers, but in fact it was all a routine.
If you bring good news, opening the door to welcome guests is the highest honor given to you. If you bring bad news, are you worthy of me? Don’t you feel guilty in your heart? If you feel guilty, go and work hard!
Hey, it is common for monarchs and ministers to play tricks on each other. It is too artificial to do this with a minister. Chang Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he also knew that as a minister, this was the highest honor that the emperor could give!
"Brother, what happened?" Chunxiang has been on duty at the Qianqing gate, but he has been on tenterhooks for the past few hours. He once asked the person who delivered the letter and learned that there was a fierce fighting in the afternoon, but other details were unknown. , so he didn’t know why Chang Yu suddenly returned to Beijing. When he saw Chang Yu coming, he hurriedly came to him and asked in a low voice.
Chang Yu smiled slightly and patted his shoulder: "Great victory!" He said and walked quickly into Qianqing Gate with the eunuch.
Chunxiang's waist suddenly stopped straightening, and the smile on his face became thicker. He looked at the Dongchang fans around him and shouted: "Please be energetic for our family. The factory governor will lead his troops to kill the enemy and win. Come back to Beijing to report the good news." This time, everyone in our Dongchang factory will be exposed..."
Wow, what a great victory... Qianqing's entrance was silent at first, but then it became less quiet. The eunuch on duty at the door wanted to scold Su Jing, but after looking at the people in Dongchang, come on, as long as he doesn't disturb you, the emperor. Do as you like, I'm afraid the emperor will shout even louder now.
How could it be possible? After all, Emperor Chongzhen was the ninth emperor. How could he be so unsure? At most, he was waiting at the entrance of the palace early after being informed by the eunuch. When he saw Chang Yuxing approaching, he quickly stepped forward and held up his shoulders without waiting for him to speak. Concern: "I was very frightened when I heard that you were in danger yesterday. Were you not injured?"
I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen is becoming more and more familiar with the art of keeping his subordinates. When they met, he didn’t ask you why you came back, but asked you if you were injured. Whether it was true or not, you seemed to have done enough. Chang Yu also appreciated it and felt a little bit. Moved, he quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I might as well just give you a false alarm!"
"It's fine if nothing happens. If something happens to you, I... really don't know what to do!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Chang Yu eagerly: "You must be tired from the journey. Come to the palace to talk..."
Emperor Chongzhen had already turned around to enter the palace. He was startled when he heard the voice and then said softly: "Come into the palace to talk." After that, he went straight into the palace. Chang Yu followed behind and looked at him with his fists clenched and his whole body shaking slightly. laughed.
After entering the palace, Wang Chengen closed the door and made tea for Chang Yu. He was about to give someone else to Emperor Chongzhen. Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been sitting upright like a mountain just now, suddenly jumped up and rushed to Chang Yu: "Is this really a great victory?"
Did the Tatars escape?”
Chang Yu nodded vigorously: "Great victory!"
"I knew that if it wasn't something important, why would you return to Beijing late at night? I knew that with you Chang Yu here, the Tatars would be defeated! I knew... Chang Yu, you are well done!" Chongzhen's excited cheeks glowed.
Hong, as if drunk, walked back and forth in the hall, punching the air from time to time: "Tell me, don't miss it from beginning to end. I want to know how Gou Tatar was defeated and how miserably he was defeated..."
