On the city wall, Chang Yu, wearing a bamboo hat, rode on horseback and led a group of attendants. They circled from Guangqu Gate to Anding Gate and took a look. He saw that almost all the Tatars had withdrawn, except for those lying on the ground, because they were all dead.
Looking at the due north from a distance, the rain curtain made it difficult to see, leaving a cold snort. When I arrived at Deshengmen, I saw Wang Jiayan in the tower looking at the due north in a daze. After a while, he realized that Chang Yu was behind him, and 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, There is no need to worry, and the surrounding people are pitiful. 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 outside, raising his eyebrows. He didn't 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., there would be strange phenomena. 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 were defeated and the Tatars failed to attack the city, they would send reinforcements south to 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 advantage.
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 has summoned you to the palace!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen had already changed into clean clothes. The incense was ordered and tea was brewed on the table. Chang Yu opened the door 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 his carelessness and 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 the water gate. Chang Yu told him that it had been captured by Dongchang!
"Cut it down to show the public! To serve as a warning to others"! Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and Chang Yu repeatedly comforted him, saying that killing him at an emergency would disturb the morale of the army. Moreover, after discovering the water ghost, the other party also resisted with all its strength. He did not neglect the fight, not to mention that he was also responsible for his carelessness.
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... Hey, 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 others encounter this matter, they would like to shirk it completely, but you blame yourself. Chang Yu, if I didn't know that you are loyal, I would really regard your move as a deliberate hypocrisy, just for the sake of A drama put on for me to watch."
Chang Yu smiled calmly: "Lu Yao knows the power of horses, the emperor will know in the future whether I am being pretentious or not!"
"I don't need to know in the future. I know that you are the most loyal ear to the Ming Dynasty right now!"
Chang Yu stood up and held his hands in his hands: "According to your Majesty's words, I will be so heartbroken that I will die without giving up!"
Emperor Chongzhen laughed heartily, 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 Kunning Palace, Queen Zhou woke up slowly. The imperial doctor resigned after telling her 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, he can even beat out the dog Tatars when they come in..."
"No," said a palace maid beside the bed: "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 Tatar did not enter the door in the end, they 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, but there were too many Tatars who took advantage of our unpreparedness to attack. The officers and soldiers at the city gate couldn't 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 palace maid's eloquent words are not as eloquent as a storyteller, they are still thrilling to everyone. Empress Zhou covers her chest again and again, and finally smiles: "Fortunately, That Chang Yu, fortunately, fortunately"
"No, you said that our inner palace has produced a figure in these 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 Chatting about rumors about Chang Yu, Queen Zhou listened with great interest. Even if there were deviations, she laughed it off without making any corrections. She thought to herself 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, Queen 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 look around. Then he forgot about it, but now he finally remembered it.
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Princess Kunxing Zhu Auao came in hurriedly: "Queen mother, are you okay? I just heard that you..." Looking at Queen Zhou 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 Aona's hand to comfort her.
"The child was woken up early in the morning and asked the palace officials when he learned that the Tartars were attacking the city. He was frightened and 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 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 emperors of the Ming Dynasty believed in it, and they were all busy looking for Zhang Sanfeng. , Taoist temples were also built in the imperial palace. The Grand Gaoxuan Hall is the royal Taoist temple located next to Taiye Pond 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 again." 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 could not hide it this time, it would be very detrimental to both Chang Yu and Chunxiang. More importantly, I will never have the chance to have fun again!
