In the last four days, Zhu Houcong did not continue to attack and sweep away. Instead, he organized his army in Shanhaiguan and rewarded the three armies.
Large quantities of silver were transported to Shanhaiguan. Every soldier who participated in the war received the military salary he deserved, and the casualties also received the compensation they deserved.
The Jin Yiwei patrolled up and down and found that no official at any level dared to be corrupt. Suddenly, the morale of the army was greatly shaken.
And the silver was handed out so easily that Zhu Houcong didn't frown at all.
After all, the silver for the pension came from the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.
It can be said that it has nothing to do with Zhu Houcong.
But that's how it should be.
After all, this was for Zhu You to protect the country, so there was nothing wrong with him spending money.
As the sun rose, a ray of golden light shone on the city wall of Shanhaiguan. Zhu Houcong slowly opened his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his body was once again refined.
[The cool-down time of the group meeting is over. New members will be invited to join the group meeting. The group owner can initiate a new round of group meetings. Do you want to initiate a group meeting and invite new group members? 】
Listening to the mechanical sound ringing in his ears, Zhu Houcong's originally smooth face became a little stunned for a moment, but in just a moment, Zhu Houcong regained his calm and said: "Invite new members and start a group meeting!"
[Searching for new group members...]
[Search completed, Zhu Qiyu has been invited to join the group chat. 】
[Zong Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty joined the group chat. 】
Zhu Houcong was a little surprised when he saw this name.
Zhu Qiyu was the son of Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, and the younger brother of Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty.
Back then, Baozong became the emperor and was captured by Wala. Zhu Qiyu was ordered to face the danger and resolutely defended the city of Beijing with Yu Shaobao and guarded the country of the Ming Dynasty!
Turn the tide before it falls, and support the building before it collapses!
There are so many things worth telling about him.
But what I don’t know is what era the current Emperor Jingtai was from.
It was to turn the tide in the city of Beijing from collapse.
Or lie on the hospital bed and watch the Baozong being restored and slaughtering the heroes?
Zhu Houcong couldn't help but smile softly, and then a door of light instantly appeared in Zhu Houcong's sight. His consciousness gradually left his body. The next second, Zhu Houcong's consciousness was like a floating immortal, soaring ninety thousand miles away.
…
The first month of the eighth year of Jingtai.
In recent days, the entire Ming Dynasty has been turned upside down. Imperial doctors frequently come in and out of Qianqing Palace, and the doors are closed. Occasionally, news comes from the palace that His Majesty is seriously ill and the mountains are in danger of overturning.
In the Qianqing Palace, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu woke up after being comatose for half a day. He recovered slightly from his breathless state, but he still couldn't cheer up. He felt dizzy and emaciated.
The eunuchs Wang Cheng and Shu Liang who were serving Emperor Jingtai on the side had tears in their eyes. Seeing Zhu Qiyu like this, their faces were full of distress.
Both of them were born in the palace of Prince Xi, and they were eunuchs who had served Zhu Qiyu before he became emperor. Although they have little foundation in the palace now, they are deeply trusted by Zhu Qiyu.
"Ahem..."
Zhu Qiyu coughed twice, his voice full of pain, as if he was enduring some unbearable pain: "Wang Banban, Gu Banban... Ahem, Cao, Cao Jixiang, why aren't you with me... "
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Cheng was inexplicably sad. He knelt heavily on the ground and said to Zhu Qiyu: "Cao Jixiang, that bastard who adapts to the wind, has never been to the Palace of Qianqing before. He has been taking orders from the Queen Mother Sun!"
Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Your Majesty, Xing'an has been waiting at the door these days. I'm afraid he is reporting the information in the palace..."
Shu Liang was worried and informed Zhu Qiyu of the news as soon as he woke up.
"well."
Upon hearing the news, Zhu Qiyu also sighed heavily and smiled deeply.
As an emperor, he must be aggrieved, aggrieved!
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, whether they were the old ministers of the Supreme Emperor or the new ministers who defended Beijing, all seemed to be in harmony with him, as if his position as emperor was temporary, and the real emperor was always the elder brother who had deceived the entire Ming Dynasty, the man named Zhu Meng. Qizhen!
I am like a rootless duck, drifting in the waters of Ming Dynasty without any foundation.
All the old people who came from Prince Xin's palace are useless.
In the palace, there is the Queen Mother Sun.
In the imperial court, there were hundreds of civil and military officials.
This emperor, hahaha, is ridiculous, ridiculous.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Wen, Emperor Renzong Zhao, Emperor Xuanzong Zhang... during the reigns of our ancestors, had there ever been such an aggrieved emperor? !
"I ascended the throne in the flames of war. I ascended the throne to protect the Ming Dynasty and the mountains and rivers of the Han people. Why...why is it like this..."
A line of clear tears flowed down from the corner of Zhu Qiyu's eyes. He turned his head and looked at Shu Liang, Wang Cheng, Wang Qin and others who were kneeling in front of the couch. He sighed quietly: "Could it be that I was wrong? I shouldn't be greedy." Shouldn't the Supreme Emperor be the emperor? If not, why would Jian Ji die so early..."
"The high position was not what I wanted. Now I am coveting the high position and have ruined the life of my son Jian Ji...Wang Cheng, if I die, let King Qi Jianshen succeed me..."
In the past eight years, he has been crazy and crazy. This emperor has become a lifeless person, not as happy as a vassal king.
Hearing Zhu Qiyu speak like this, Wang Cheng was shocked and kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, you must not think like this! Without you and without Yu Shaobao, our Ming Dynasty would have perished, Your Majesty! You are the Zhu family Descendants, you have the blood of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, and you are the blood of Emperor Xuanzong. There is no one in the world who is more qualified to be the emperor than you!"
Hearing what Wang Cheng said, Zhu Qiyu just smiled bitterly and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
[You have been invited to join the Ming Emperor chat group. 】
Suddenly, a cold mechanical sound appeared in Zhu Qiyu's ears, which immediately stunned Zhu Qiyu.
"Did you hear anything?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly became more energetic. He looked around suspiciously, alert, and felt very surprised by the sound, even a little suspicious.
Hearing what Zhu Qiyu said, all the eunuchs looked at each other in shock. Wang Qin knelt on the ground and bowed: "Your Majesty, we, we didn't hear anything."
"No, there must be some noise. Shut up, shut up!"
The weak Zhu Qiyu struggled to get up, his hair disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
His eyes widened, and after waiting for a moment, he heard another mechanical female voice:
[The group leader 'Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong' has held a group meeting. Will you participate? 】
"Emperor Jiajing? Zhu Houcong?!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened and he felt an inexplicable feeling about this name. Then he did not hesitate and shouted hysterically with all his strength: "Participate!"
And after this shout was issued, a door of light appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu in an instant. His consciousness was in a trance, and the next moment the world began to spin.
