Since it was obvious that he didn't want to talk about this issue anymore, Wen Shaoxue was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. Since he had been saved now, there was no point in pursuing the reason.
"Then when will we leave?" Wen Shaoxue still had to go back and talk to Liu'er and Xiaotong.
"Let's go directly. Your maid and servant are already waiting for us in the inn. Speaking of which, your guy is smart. When we went to find him, he had already packed everything he could take away.
It saves a lot of time." Mo Feng praised, it is already very good to have such mental awareness at such a young age.
"Have everything been packed away?" Wen Shaoxue was surprised. She had known that Xiaotong was a thoughtful child and thought about things longer than ordinary people, but she never expected that he had already thought about this step.
"Yes, I was shocked when I first found out about it. If this child is well cultivated, his future will be limitless when he grows up." Mo Feng was filled with emotion. There are really talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way and showing off for hundreds of years.
Years.
The people here were chatting and laughing and left together, but the people over there were already throwing cups and bowls in frustration.
"Forget it, a little girl just ran away, it won't have any impact on us." King Zhou tried to enlighten his younger brother.
"But she saw us and she knew our secret. What if she told others?" The man looked very irritable.
"If she wants to say it, just let her do it. This matter is not really a secret to begin with. I originally planned to choose a day to announce it to the public. If she really spreads it everywhere, it will save me a lot of effort."
"Are you really going to tell me?"
"Tell me, why don't you tell me? I just have a brother who is a compatriot. How can I become a treasonous and heinous thing?" King Zhou didn't care at all. Let others say whatever they want.
The younger brother still looked a little uneasy, maybe because he had been used to being a shadow behind his older brother in obscurity for so many years, and now he was suddenly being brought to the stage, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Okay, this matter is not a big deal. As long as she doesn't leave the capital, she won't live long. If Mo Feng is really willing to take them away together, then let them go."
King Zhou's younger brother nodded, accepting the result. He turned to think about other things: "You seemed to have said before that Jierhalang will lead troops to Beijing in the next few days?"
"That's right. In this way, we can deal with those dissatisfied guys in a logical manner without leaving any clues." King Zhou said proudly.
"Not only did I let him go to Beijing, but I also asked him to continue on to Nanjing. Those guys will feel better by then. I want to see how long they can hold on."
Brother Zhou Wang also looked very excited: "When the time comes, we will bring them together and make them pay for the wrong things they have done. Then we can leave this shabby place and live our own lives. I don't care at all."
I don’t like this palace.”
King Zhou touched his younger brother's head: "I don't like it here either. Once things here are over, I will take you home. How about we go back to the place where our family of three lived before?"
The head under his hand rubbed against his palm: "Of course, let's go home together."
Facts have proved that Jierhalang is indeed a man of his word. Within a few days, he led his troops to surround the capital. The Manchu and Qing troops had already entered the border half a year ago. In the past six months, they had no more than
It's just hidden.
Now that the time has come, they no longer hide their strength, sharpening their swords and coming towards the people of the capital. Naturally, the unprepared Imperial Guards of the capital were defeated.
The children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all the best warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are all survivors who have survived countless trainings with real swords and guns on the battlefield. How can they be the children of these high-ranking officials in the capital who are idle every day?
Nothing they can compare to.
There was almost no suspense. It took less than three days for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to capture the capital.
Although they experienced wars several times, the people who survived safely in the end did not expect that this time they would actually suffer a catastrophe. The disaster was caught off guard and no one was prepared.
The price of food in the capital began to rise rapidly. Not only food, but also the prices of various daily necessities were soaring day by day. Ordinary people could hardly afford food and cloth.
As a result, a large number of homeless beggars began to appear again in the capital. Complaints were everywhere in the streets, and everyone was calling for help. Is there anyone who can stand up and take care of the lives of ordinary people?
This situation lasted for less than a week. With the support of the Manchus and the support of the people, the King of Zhou officially proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and made the capital the capital.
After having the emperor, life became much easier. First, the Manchu troops retreated as quietly as they came. Then the court began to suppress the price of food. Although it was still ridiculously expensive in a short period of time,
At least I could barely make ends meet, and life was finally peaceful again.
So for a while, the voices opposing King Zhou quickly disappeared, and voices praising King Zhou were everywhere. The literati with lofty ideals who originally roamed the streets and alleys also quietly faded away.
All of this happened unexpectedly. Looking back on all the things that happened during this period, everyone seemed to be in a dream, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
Not long after, the new emperor issued the first imperial edict since he succeeded to the throne, appointing his younger brother Zhu Changcuo as the king, second only to the emperor.
After this imperial edict was issued, many people were shocked, especially those in the palace, because for such a long time, they did not know that the emperor had a twin brother who looked exactly like him.
When the two people appeared in front of everyone at the same time, many people looked at each other in confusion. Looking at Ling Wang's gloomy face and unkind eyes, many people all thought of the same thing.
The King of Zhou they met some time ago seemed to be always unstable and moody. Sometimes he always smiled when he saw people, and sometimes he glared at people.
They were originally wondering how one person's personality could be so different, but now that they think about it carefully, they may just be two people, two identical but different people!
But of course everyone only dared to think about this in their own minds. No one dared to mention the inconsistent behavior of King Zhou some time ago. This matter seemed to have never happened before and was passed by quietly.
