A military parade was an extremely exciting event. Not to mention the feelings of the civil and military officials, at least the people in the capital were in awe. They saw the royal style of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and saw the different new atmosphere of the Ming soldiers. There was also a thrilling experience. In an exciting episode, someone actually wanted to cause trouble and assassinate the emperor at this moment.
Hey, it's a pity that the water splash was flattened before it even started. Those emperor's personal guards were so fierce. They raised their swords and chopped down all the more than ten people who made trouble in the blink of an eye!
So fierce!
No wonder the thieves and Tatars who could fight were defeated!
Anyway, I had a great time watching the excitement today, at least for half a month.
After noon, the emperor drove back to the palace. Before leaving, he left a blessing bag for the soldiers. In addition to the confiscation of grain, grass and other baggage, the emperor also had various parts of gold and silver.
The whole army was excited, but Liu Zeqing and others were gnashing their teeth. Why should we have to deduct three years of food and salary? However, the three of them were not in the mood to dwell on this matter at this time, because they were currently in some trouble. Because of the Li Chengdong incident, all three of them had to return to Beijing to be investigated by Dongchang.
"Go back with the order. No one is allowed to leave the military camp without authorization. Violators will be punished on the spot." Before returning to the city, the three of them each ordered their soldiers to return to the camp to pass the order. There should be no more chaos. If there is more chaos, they may not be able to leave the capital.
"Do you know why Li Chengdong wanted to cause trouble?" The prince asked in a low voice as he passed by Chang Yu when he was making his way to the general platform.
"Don't talk at this time, and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask," Chang Yu reprimanded in a low voice. The dignified Prince Ming didn't dare to be scolded by him and didn't dare to say anything. He even said obediently.
"Do you know why Li Chengdong made trouble?" Just after training his brother, a younger sister came, and Zhu Aona was also very curious.
"Maybe he deserves to die, maybe he has lived enough." Chang Yu forced out a fake smile, Zhu Yushuo nodded slightly and left. Zhu Cixiang couldn't help but turned back and raised his eyebrows, with an obvious look on his face, why he told her but not me.
But Chang Yu had no time to pay attention to him. Emperor Chongzhen asked him to go back to the palace with his attendant Long Zhu. He was speechless for several miles. In the end, he couldn't help but asked his guards to stand ten steps away and stick their heads out to look at Chang Yu outside the car window. Yu: "You did it?"
"My lord, I wonder what the emperor means by this?" Chang Yu frowned, but his eyes were clear. Emperor Chongzhen looked at him for a long time and exhaled: "Would you like to take advantage of this opportunity..." He made a beheading gesture.
Chang Yu shook his head: "While the war in the south is not over, we can't use the troops, and the main force, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, are outside. If...there is a war there, I'm afraid there will be chaos."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly: "You do it, I believe in your sense of propriety!"
"My lord, take the order." Chang Yu kowtowed. Emperor Chongzhen hummed and looked into the distance: "I can't figure out why Li Chengdong wanted to cause trouble at this time. This move is undoubtedly a moth rushing to the fire and seeking death."
"I'll wait until I go back to investigate and find out the truth," Chang Yu said.
Emperor Chongzhen snorted and suddenly said: "Do you know how Wu Sangui turned the tables at the last moment?"
"My lord, I am all ears." To be honest, Chang Yu had never figured out what trump card Wu Sangui had used to make Emperor Chongzhen relax.
"He rescued Li Zhu's three sons and brought them back to the capital. As the admiral of Dongchang, you don't know about this." Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly.
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and didn't react for a moment, Li Zhu? Immediately he was horrified: "King Li Ju of Joseon?"
Li Ji was the ancestor of Joseon. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Bingzi was in chaos. Huang Taiji personally led the army to attack Korea for the second time, making it surrender and vassal state. It cut off the relationship with the suzerain country, Ming Dynasty, and gave his three sons to Zhaoxian Crown Prince. Li Ming, Fenglin Grand Prince Li Hao, and Linping Grand Prince Li Jun were taken to Shenyang as hostages.
Historically, when Dorgon led his army into the Pass, three Korean princes also accompanied the army. They were released back home after they entered Beijing.
This time Dorgon also brought the three people out. However, during the battle in Ningyuan, the Qing army camp was attacked by Li Yan from behind. The three princes fled for their lives in a panic and separated from the main force of the Qing army. Perhaps they wanted to escape deliberately. Anyway, he hid in the mountains for half a month and was later hunted down by the Ming army. At that time, Chang Yu had returned to Beijing to fight the fire.
Wu Sangui didn't know what he was thinking at the time. He didn't inform the court about the matter. He just served the three princes with good food and wine in the Ningyuan General Military Mansion until he was ordered to enter the capital. He asked the three princes to dress up as city guards. After entering Beijing, he actually deceived the eyes and ears of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Later, Wu Sangui heard the news from somewhere. Although his trip to Beijing was worry-free, it was all in vain. So he revealed the trump card of the third prince of North Korea and escorted him secretly for safety reasons. Enter Beijing.
North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and has always been loyal. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also did a lot to protect its little brother from being bullied. However, this old man who was more than ten years old was frail and sick and couldn't take care of himself, so he couldn't care less about him being bullied by others.
However, North Korea has always been very grateful. Even though it was forced by the Qing Dynasty to recognize its godfather, it still missed this old godfather and communicated with him secretly.
To be honest, there were many vassal states during the peak period of the Ming Dynasty, but no one was as loyal as North Korea. Just one thing shows their loyalty. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea still used the name of the next year for more than 200 years. Until 1909, although officially Documents had to use the Qing Dynasty era name, but in royal sacrifices and private documents, all the Chongzhen era names were used until the 265th year of Chongzhen. In addition, he firmly opposed Tatar head shaving and continued to use the Ming Dynasty era name. Clothes!
In fact, Daming has always been thinking about this godson and little brother, but he was powerless. Now that Wu Sangui has rescued the three princes, it is definitely a great achievement!
As a result, Wu Sangui, who originally failed to achieve success, was finally ranked among the pillars.
Only then did Chang Yu suddenly realize what Emperor Chongzhen said to Wu Sangui at Dianjiangtai.
"Has your Majesty seen those three sons? What arrangements will be made to send them back to North Korea?" Chang Yu finally calmed down after a good meeting.
Chongzhen shook his head: "I haven't had time to see you yet. It's too early to make any arrangements. But you may want to see me for me. Now you are secretly arranged in the Huitong Hall."
The Huitong Pavilion is a place dedicated to arranging foreign guests and envoys, that is, Honglu Temple. However, the Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty was only responsible for the reception of pilgrims. This kind of reception was handled by the Huitong Pavilion. To put it bluntly, it was the State Guesthouse in later generations. .
"That place is too chaotic. Why don't we invite you to stay in Dongchang Yamen for a few days?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "That place is not suitable for you either, so you should find a more suitable place."
"My lord, we will arrange everything properly," Chang Yu said quickly, and Emperor Chongzhen hummed, "Let's deal with the matters at hand as soon as possible, and then we can take a few days to go on a long trip."
"My lord, I obey the order," Chang Yu secretly sighed. Those who are capable work harder, and if a handsome man suffers, there is nothing to complain about.
"When do you think it's appropriate to hold the prince's wedding?" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked, leaving Chang Yu a little confused: "I, I don't know how to read the sky or count the days. In this palace, there should be..."
"I'm asking for your opinion. In fact, the prince's marriage should have been arranged at the end of last year. It has been postponed until now because of the national crisis. The prince is not young anymore. He should start a family as soon as possible and be safe..."
Chang Yu suddenly broke into sweat. He was only fifteen or sixteen, so he was not young!
"How about choosing a day when the whole country is celebrating? Wouldn't it be better then to add icing on the cake and add joy to joy?" Chang Yu sighed heartily, Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong, I have spoken for you. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will.
"The whole country is celebrating?" Emperor Chongzhen was startled, and then he suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing: "It's just a day for the whole country to celebrate. Will you let me wait too long? Don't make the prince grow old."
"If I let you go, I will let the whole country celebrate as soon as the end of the year or as late as a year and a half," Chang Yu said solemnly.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he stared at Chang Yu for a long time: "I can give you the greatest authority, but you are sure that peace will be achieved in one and a half years. Do you know how many people have come and gone in the past ten years..."
"Your Majesty, it only took me half a year to put an end to the wars in the five northern provinces, including three years of no war outside the Pass. Unless we take the initiative to fight, give me some time, give me some authority, and give you a peaceful Ming Dynasty!"
"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen was so excited that he slammed the car window: "If that day comes, I will not be stingy with anything you want as long as I have it!"
"My lord, as long as the Ming and Qing Ming Dynasties are powerful all over the world, I have nothing else to ask for," Chang Yu said calmly and sincerely. Emperor Chongzhen stared at him for a while and sighed, "What kind of virtue have I accumulated in my previous life?"
