"Xiao Xuanzi, why are you so careless in doing things! If you do this, how will you serve the Emperor and His Majesty in the future?"
In the Tianjin palace, Little Guizi, Eunuch Gui, turned over, raised his eyebrows, and yelled at Little Xuanzi in front of him: "Look at your move, if Eunuch Huang sees it, he will be punished! Remember how you treated me before?" Forget it, I will hide this matter from you, you have to practice hard!"
Hearing Xiao Guizi's arrogant voice, Xiao Xuanzi could only grit his teeth. Although in his heart he wanted to cut this little Guizi into pieces with a thousand knives, he could only say in a low voice: "Eunuch Gui taught me a lesson."
He gritted his teeth and would never forget today's humiliation for the rest of his life!
As an aspiring emperor (once), as a precocious teenager (once).
Xiao Xuanzi decided to endure it until the critical moment, he wanted to see the destruction of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes!
Seeing that Xiao Xuanzi was so obedient, Xiao Guizi, who had always been a royal loyal dog, was very satisfied. He held his head high and sat happily on the chair, enjoying the tea offered by Xiao Xuanzi and took a sip of it happily. It feels very good.
"Xiao Xuanzi, you have really enjoyed a lot of blessings in these years." Xiao Guizi said cheerfully, "Dear me, you have been an emperor. I have never been an emperor. Tiantian Jing I have served you, but I didn’t expect that now that the situation has changed, it will be your turn to serve me.”
"Don't worry. You treated me well back then, so why would I treat you harshly? Don't worry. In the future, in this palace, if we two brothers join forces to fight in the palace, what will happen to the old eunuch named Huang? Maybe he is our opponent?"
Xiao Guizi said with a smile: "I also heard that the emperor... ahem, now it should be changed to the emperor and your majesty. I heard that the emperor also has two confidant eunuchs, who are called Jinbao and Yinbao. What do you think of the two of us? Can you go and replace these two gold and silver treasures?"
This was the first time that Kangxi looked at the situation from the perspective of a slave, but Xiao Guizi really didn't regard Kangxi as an outsider.
And Kangxi... no, he should be called Xiao Xuanzi now.
After Xiao Xuanzi heard what Xiao Guizi said, he immediately took a deep breath, nodded and praised: "I think..."
After hearing the name 'I', Xiao Guizi immediately widened her eyes and made a surprised sound: "Huh?!"
Xiao Xuanzi immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and said quickly: "I think it is easy to use Eunuch Gui's method to replace those Jinbao, Yinbao and the old eunuch named Huang!"
He himself felt disgusted by what he said.
But for the sake of a better cause, he could only stay so disgusted.
"Xiao Xuanzi, remember, our Ming Dynasty is no better than this Qing Dynasty. Anyone who is not a slave must be called a slave."
Xiao Guizi was old-fashioned and began to point out Xiao Xuanzi: "Although His Majesty doesn't care about these things, nor does he care about the titles of us surrendered ministers and eunuchs from the Qing Dynasty, but we should at least know this, right? We can't make His Majesty sound displeased. Try to keep up with the old people of Ming Dynasty as much as possible!"
After that, Xiao Guizi said with a look of disdain: "I heard that the Manchu battalion's commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses, Krubaturu Gualjia Tumo and the first-class guerrilla general of the Jiannu battalion Aixinjueluo Bingbi , these two heads are completely clueless. Every time they meet His Majesty, they still say 'minions, minions', and they still feel like they are in the Qing Dynasty... ahem, Qing Dynasty!"
"By the way, I heard that your sister, the princess who married Obai's nephew, is now Tu Mo's concubine... In terms of seniority, this Manchurian battalion's chief military officer is your brother-in-law! Little Xuanzi, make sure you get it right. Opportunity, your identity is sensitive to begin with, if you can have the support of important ministers in the court, you might be able to become a chief eunuch in the palace, and you won't have to clean the toilet every day."
Xiao Guizi's earnest words sounded so harsh to Xiao Xuanzi's ears.
He clenched his fists and endured such humiliation. He could only humbly say: "This is what Eunuch Gui taught you."
Xiao Guizi was just about to say something more when she saw a eunuch in brocade clothes from a long way away. He jumped up from his chair with a sudden movement, hit the sleeves of the eunuch in brocade robes, and immediately said respectfully and flatteringly: "Xiao Guizi" Little Guizi, please pay your respects to Eunuch Huang! Eunuch Huang is auspicious, Eunuch Huang is auspicious!"
Xiao Guizi's face change can be said to be a masterpiece.
Xiao Xuanzi on the side didn't react at all. When he reacted and was about to roll up his sleeves to salute, he saw Huang Jin shook his head and said, "Come on, our family can't stand the courtesy of you Manchurians."
After saying that, Huang Jin opened his mouth seriously and said: "Your Majesty's decree!"
After hearing Huang Jin's voice, Xiao Guizi and Xiao Xuanzi quickly knelt on the ground to listen to the order.
"Why didn't Xiao Xuanzi go to work today? After going to work, let Xiao Xuanzi come to the palace first and clean the door. I have something important to do with Xiao Xuanzi, so let him come quickly."
Huang Jin spoke in Zhu Houcong's tone, and when Xiao Xuanzi heard this, he immediately recalled the ministers who had listened to his oral instructions in the past, and quickly said respectfully: "I accept the order!"
Obviously, Xiao Xuanzi is good at learning.
He quickly learned what Xiao Guizi just taught.
When Huang Jin heard this, he frowned slightly and said nothing.
As for Xiao Guizi, who was kneeling on the ground beside him, when he heard Xiao Xuanzi say the word 'servant', the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but they soon dimmed again, pretending that nothing happened.
"Okay, let's go."
Huang Jin spoke calmly, and Xiao Xuanzi immediately followed Huang Jin and headed towards the palace where Zhu Houcong lived.
And Xiao Guizi looked at Xiao Xuanzi's figure, with a hint of ridicule on his face, and then said to himself: "Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye, back then you were the master and I was the slave, everything had to go according to plan. Come here. Now that you have become a slave, I want to let you know what it means to accompany you like a tiger, what it means to be thunderous and rainy, all of which are your kindness!"
Servant, Emperor?
Of course this is what they, the capitulationists, call them!
Only true people of the Ming Dynasty can call you slave and your majesty. What kind of thing do you want to clean up? Does it deserve to be called that?
Hum.
Xiao Guizi sneered. He didn't remind Xiao Xuanzi. When he met Huang Eunuch, Xiao Guizi kept saying "you are lucky", and it didn't sound like he was teaching Xiao Xuanzi.
This depends on the understanding of the talented Emperor Kangxi.
Xiao Guizi hummed a little tune, continued to sit on the chair, and sighed deeply.
Now, he is also very confused and worried about his future, and he doesn't know what to do.
What can I do if I have a broken body?
On the other side, Xiao Xuanzi, who went to the palace to visit Zhu Houcong with Huang Jin, also returned to the palace.
At this moment, Xiao Xuanzi was in a very complicated mood.
After all, this palace is where he lives, and it was specially built for him by Wang Yuxi, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town.
But I don’t know how Wang Yuxi is doing now.
Xiao Xuanzi has figured it all out. He had wronged Wang Yuxi in the first place. Wang Yuxi had served as a general in Tianjin for several years and knew the place well. The green battalions in Tianjin also trusted Wang Yuxi more.
I changed the Tianjin General Soldier. Although I replaced him with a more trustworthy crony, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the fighting spirit of the Green Camp soldiers. Changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists. I was really confused at the time and did not remember to ask him in advance. Ask Mama Huang!
Xiao Xuanzi regrets it now. Although Tianjin City will still be captured even if he doesn't change the general army, he can at least hold on for a few more days and not become a eunuch so early...
Just when the little Xuanzi was thinking wildly, an upright and mature voice came to his ears: "The little Xuanzi is here? Sit down."
Xiao Xuanzi followed the sound and saw that it was the sound coming from Zhu Houcong who was resting on the futon with his eyes closed.
Xiao Xuanzi was overjoyed immediately, but he did not forget the skills taught by his good master Xiao Guizi. He immediately kowtowed and said, "I thank you, your majesty, and your majesty bows in peace!"
After saying that, Xiao Xuanzi made a gesture to sit down.
Zhu Houcong opened his eyes and frowned.
Huang Jin on the side immediately scolded: "How presumptuous! You are a cheap slave of the Qing Dynasty, is this a slave you can call?! Didn't Xiao Guizi teach you that all of you who build slaves have to call yourself slaves, and only En is allowed to enter?" Can you call yourself a slave if you are a slave of the Ming Dynasty?!"
After saying that, Huang Jin didn't hesitate, stepped forward and slapped him twice!
"Pah, pah!"
Two crisp sounds echoed throughout the palace, and there were two clear slap marks on Xiao Xuanzi's face, so that even the pockmarks on his face were covered.
Xiao Xuanzi only felt burning pain, and he felt aggrieved, as if he wanted to vent his emotions.
But he also understood that his current status was completely different from what he once was. He only dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything, and he did not dare to refute anything. He could only lower his head and say: "I know this."
Zhu Houcong nodded, and then scolded: "Okay, go wipe the door frame."
After saying that, a young eunuch with pretty features threw a rag in front of Little Xuanzi. Little Xuanzi took a deep breath and took the rag respectfully: "I accept the order, thank you for your kindness!"
After that, he started walking towards the door frame and started wiping it.
While Xiao Xuanzi was wiping, Zhu Houcong said: "Xiao Xuanzi, I remember that your throne of Qing Dynasty has not been deposed, right?"
I was captured and made a eunuch by you, what is the difference between this and being deposed?
After Xiao Xuanzi complained in his heart, he immediately stopped what he was doing and said patiently: "Return to your majesty, this servant has not been abolished yet."
"Then why are there so many more Qing emperors and regents in this world?"
Zhu Houcong smiled softly, and then said to Huang Jin beside him: "Huang Banban, read it to Xiao Xuanzi."
"yes."
After Huang Jin received the order, he immediately picked up the memorial and read: "Anxinjueluo Yuele, the puppet prince of the Qing Dynasty, was in Xi'an to supervise the country thirteen days ago and was proclaimed regent. Later, when he learned that Tianjin was recovered by the Ming Dynasty, he was proclaimed regent. Capture the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty and give him the title of Yangwu!"
"Prince Aixinjueluo Fuquan, Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty, ascended the throne in Hanoi following the edict of the puppet Empress Dowager Butai of the Qing Dynasty. He was named Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and his reign was Yulong!"
"In the pre-Ming Dynasty, Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief, the second minister Wu Sangui accepted the edict of Mingzhu, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty and puppet scholar, and was called the regent. He established his capital in Kunming and welcomed Aixinjueluo Wu Shun as the supervisor of the country."
"I'm so happy that I..."
Huang Jin's voice was eloquent, and all the three vassals unanimously welcomed a brand new Aisin Gioro as the governor, calling himself the regent. Geng Jingzhong even claimed to be the 'Prime Minister and General of the Qing Dynasty' and proclaimed himself 'Chen Wang', engaged in a set of "praise and worship are not famous, and entering the dynasty is not a trend".
In addition, what surprised Xiao Xuanzi even more was that there was news even from outside the customs!
Although Guarja Bahai had been losing battles, after he heard that Emperor Kangxi was captured in the rebellion, he immediately established himself as the regent of the Qing Dynasty and the king of Liao...
In just a few days, four regents appeared in the Qing Dynasty: Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi, Gualjia Bahai, and Aisin Gioro Yue Le and Aisin Gioro. ·Fuquan captured the two Qing emperors.
Of course, Fuquan's side is mainly the Empress Dowager Da Yuerbu's aunt who listens to politics behind the curtain.
After hearing such news, Xiao Xuanzi went numb.
Coupled with the pockmarks on his face, it can be said to be pockmarks within pockmarks. To use a later saying to describe it, that is, Kang Mazi touched the switch and the pockmarked person became numb.
How did my Qing Dynasty become like this?
That's it for the Three Feuds. It had been expected that they did not rebel directly, but instead covered up the banner of the Qing Dynasty, which is enough.
Xiao Xuanzi can understand Fuquan's side. After all, if he is captured, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day. It is the right choice for Huang Ma to support Fuquan as emperor. The only thing Xiao Xuanzi regrets now is I didn't follow Mama Huang's footsteps closely at that time, otherwise I would have escaped by now.
It can only be said that Madam Huang is still an experienced person, but she is still too young and fell into Xiao Guizi's trap.
but……
What happened to Yue Le?
What happened to Bahai?
Two defeated generals also want to be emperor? !
Our Qing Dynasty can be reduced to this situation today. One is the three generals outside the pass, and the three are trash! The other one is Prince An Yue Le, who is simply a big waste!
Xiao Xuanzi's face turned numb.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houcong stretched out his hand again and threw a document made of jade silk in front of Xiao Xuanzi: "Xiao Xuanzi, you should read this."
Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Xiao Xuanzi realized that something was wrong.
But it was hard to disobey the emperor's order. For the sake of his great cause, he could only endure it. He had to pick up this jade silk and look at it.
What surprised Xiao Xuanzi was that this jade silk was actually written in Chinese, Manchu and Mongolian. As soon as he took a look at it, an unknown fire rose up in Xiao Xuanzi's heart!
Because the first sentence at the beginning turned out to be "Aixinjueluo Yuele, the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty in Jianzhou, came to see the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China, and I would like to pay my respects." '
This jade letter was actually written by Yue Le to the Ming Dynasty!
The above content can also be said to be very clear.
"My minister Yue Le came forward and said that it is a great virtue of an emperor to rest his troops and pacify the people; he can report his duties in detail, and it is the eternal plan of the country. Looking at the traces of Gu Wei, it is a gift that the wretched lot can be preserved. I dare to forget myself and show my great kindness! Since it is tied to the ancestors, the principles are based on the oath... I wish to be a country of brothers, Ming is the brother, Qing is the brother, let the land of Shanxi be the joy of the Ming Dynasty... I hope the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will understand clearly. "
Xiao Xuanzi read word for word this letter, which looked like it was written by a great Confucian, but for the Manchu part, it was even simpler.
In summary, that is.
I, Yue Le, am already scared of being beaten. Please don't beat me yet. Go and beat Fuquan and Dayu'er who are Jianguo in Henan and Anhui.
I am willing to let Shanxi go out, and our two families will use Tongguan as the boundary. Qiu will not commit any crimes, okay? If this is the case, I would like to accept Ming Chao as the eldest brother and me as the younger brother, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands...
That's it, simple and crude.
The confession was very thorough.
Xiao Xuanzi was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood.
But he still endured the pain and read word for word this memorandum that was humiliating the country and almost flattering.
After listening, Zhu Houcong smiled and nodded, and then said: "Okay, okay, Xiao Xuanzi is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
After saying that, Zhu Houcong said to Xiao Xuanzi again: "Then you can read this one again."
After that, Zhu Houcong threw out another piece of jade silk from his sleeve. This jade silk was covered with some dust, and it looked like it was dusty, and it was more hurried than the last jade silk.
Xiao Xuanzi took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his current mood, and then picked up this new jade silk.
When he looked at it, he saw that the jade silk was in Chinese, Manchu and Mongolian. After reading the beginning, Xiao Xuanzi's eyesight went dark.
"Aixinjueluo Fuquan, the commander of the Jianzhou Guards of the Ming Dynasty, came to see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and expressed his sincere respect.'
This one is actually from Fuquan!
What made Xiao Xuanzi even more vomiting blood was that although Yue Le was flattering, he still claimed to be the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
This one directly became the commander of the Jianzhou Guard? !
After reading the text below, Xiao Xuanzi suddenly felt light-headed.
In fact, the content is almost the same as Yue Le's, but one thing is different.
That means this time it is not a country of brothers, but a country of fathers and sons!
That's right, Fuquan was willing to be the emperor, and hoped that the Ming Emperor would not attack Henan and Anhui, but go to Shaanxi and Gansu. He also wrote all the secrets of Shaanxi and Gansu in the jade silk. The key point is to state the interests and be sincere. It seems that he is really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Xuanzi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
But reason told him that this was right.
After all, there is no way. Now the Ming Dynasty is strong and the Qing Dynasty is weak. Although the Qing Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of green soldiers, they are now directly divided, and there is no way to assemble troops in a short time.
Therefore, no matter what, establishing a peaceful situation with the Ming Dynasty is what they want to see most.
From a political perspective, this is fine.
However, Xiao Xuanzi was very angry and angry.
Why did the mighty Qing Dynasty fall to such a status today?
Xiao Xuanzi was confused, a little puzzled, and didn't know how to say it.
Everything seemed like a dream, and he felt a little unbelievable.
Only two months have passed since Obai was eradicated.
In just two months, the Qing Empire suddenly collapsed. The past fifteen years have been like a dream and not real at all.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Xuanzi suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed directly to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
After seeing this scene, Zhu Houcong's smile disappeared instantly and he frowned: "This ability to withstand stress is not good either."
He called Xiao Xuanzi here mainly to humiliate him.
After all, my father-in-law is named Kangxi. I can play whatever I want. Who can care?
But I didn't expect that even Emperor Kangxi could not bear it.
"Come here, carry him down and wake him up quickly."
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "Xiao Xuanzi hasn't gone to work today. He fainted. Who will clean the toilet?"
Although Zhu Houcong has now cultivated immortality, this kind of grain trouble has been basically avoided.
But the others are still ordinary people. Although there are other soldiers from the Eight Banners who were the former princes and nobles in cleaning, for Zhu Houcong, Xiao Xuanzi has more work experience.
This is Zhu Houcong's confidant and eunuch. He must be allowed to accumulate more work experience so that he can be qualified to serve as the chief eunuch in charge.
These are Zhu Houcong's considerations for Xiao Xuanzi's future.
The unconscious Xiao Xuanzi was carried off the field, but soon, Lu Bing walked quickly towards the hall, cupped his hands to Zhu Houcong and said: "Your Majesty, urgent report from Beijing!"
"Um?"
Zhu Houcong was stunned for a moment, then said: "Nian, what happened in Beijing?"
"Beijing stayed behind. Zhang Zhi, the admiral of Yaowu Camp, reported that a large number of cavalry were found in the north. Looking at their flags, they named themselves Dayuan and went south on the orders of Emperor Dayuan. There are many cavalry!"
Lu Bing immediately opened his mouth to report the battle report from Beijing.
After hearing the battle report, Zhu Houcong immediately became serious: "I am not looking for them, but they are looking for trouble for me! Humph, order the troops..."
Before Zhu Houcong could give his orders, the Eight Hundred Miles Expedited team rushed over and came directly in front of Zhu Houcong. He knelt down before Zhu Houcong and said, "Your Majesty, Beijing Eight Hundred Miles Expedited Battle Report!"
"read!"
Zhu Houcong's eyes were stern.
The messenger immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank Zhang Zhi, the admiral of the military camp, to say that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty did not know its own strength and used the light of fireflies to strike the bright moon of the Ming Dynasty. Thanks to your majesty's blessing, I will finally defeat the Mongolian cavalry." , beheaded seven thousand people, captured four thousand people, and captured thirty-seven people below the Mongol princes alive!"
After hearing the words of the messenger, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Lu Bing.
Lu Bing was also a little stunned.
"How many people are there in Mongolia?" Zhu Houcong asked.
The messenger immediately accepted the order and said: "Your Majesty, I have found out from the prisoners that there are 67,000 Mongolian cavalry, plus horse infantry, a total of 90,000 troops!"
"The number of people in Yaowu Camp is only a little over ten thousand, but they can actually defeat nine with one, and defeat the masses with a few."
Zhu Houcong couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect the level of Yaowu Camp to be so high.
"Good, please show off to Zhang Zhi, the admiral of the Wuying camp, and be promoted to the Marquis of Tang Dynasty. I will give you fifty thousand taels of silver for the good deeds of the Wuying camp. I will reward you based on your merits!"
Zhu Houcong waved his hand and immediately said with a smile: "Showing off Wuying's great kindness is really setting an example for all the camps in the Ming Dynasty!"
"yes!"
…
In the grassland, despite the blue sky and white clouds, the morale of the Mongolian cavalry was very low.
When they went south this time, they were very proud and arrogant. They felt that they could be said to be arrogant and domineering, and Beijing had already won.
But what they never expected was that the battle in Beijing, which they thought was a sure thing, would end in this way.
What is going on?
Lao Wang... No, Emperor Yuan Abu Nai sighed deeply, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He regretted proclaiming himself emperor a little, and felt that Dayuan's combat power seemed a little different from what he had imagined.
"Everyone, is there any precedent in history where the emperor surrendered and was safe and sound?"
Old Wang Abu Nai couldn't help but ask around about the Mongolian men around him. After hearing Old Wang Abu Nai's words, the surrounding Mongolian men looked embarrassed and did not dare to speak.
the reason is simple.
None of them went to school, and they have a kind of innocent beauty and wild beauty.
So I haven’t studied history at all, so I don’t know what’s going on.
Over the years, the Mongols have had insufficient food and clothing, and have not been on the battlefield for a long time. Even the Mongolian generals who knew the art of war have been expelled and taken away by the Manchus. Nowadays, there are only a few Mongolians on the grasslands who can use bows. Crossbow, someone who knows how to fight?
During the Battle of Beijing, a group of them cavalry attacked the city, which was really ridiculous!
And Old Wang Abu Nai sighed deeply, and when he was considering whether to surrender to the Ming Dynasty or continue to be a dog with the Qing Dynasty, he heard a young Mongolian grit his teeth and said to Old Wang Abu Nai: "King, it's just a small failure, how can you be so discouraged?!"
The young man spoke forcefully and raised his hands: "Your Majesty, although we can't defeat the Ming army and capture Beijing, we can march westward and attack Xi'an! Xi'an is the land of kings and hegemons. If we can capture it, our cause as Emperor Yuan will surely be accomplished. !”
"I hope your Majesty will consider it carefully!"
The young people’s voices are sonorous and powerful, and they have the beauty of being well-read and knowledgeable.
After hearing the young man's voice, Old Wang Abu Nai was silent and hesitant for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, run thousands of miles to attack Xi'an and attack that Yuele! I want to see what my father did back then. Defeated by the Manchus!"
"Attack!"
