"Your Majesty, please don't say such things...please take back your life!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your life!"
"Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty cannot live without you!"
"emperor......"
"Brother, your servant Chang Ning should not be the political king!"
As soon as Kangxi's words came out, all the ministers who were standing fell to the ground, crying and shouting for Kangxi to take back his life. That Prince Gong, Chang Ning, even kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic, and his forehead was swollen. Only Kong Shenggong, who has the support of 60,000 Lu Yong, is still sitting there peacefully - he has the strength to keep a low profile even if he wants to!
Looking at the kneeling cowards, Kong Shenggong straightened his back again and said to Kangxi with a smile: "Your Majesty, the walls of Beijing are strong and there are many soldiers and generals. The emperor and his ministers are united and work together... ...Nowadays, even if there are millions of thieves in a fortified city, they are enough to hold on.
The Ming army only had 100,000 troops, and it was advancing alone, short of food and ammunition. If the emperor can lead everyone to defend the capital together, and then order the kings from all over the world to work hard, he will definitely be able to defeat the rebels and achieve a complete victory. "
Kong Shenggong's words certainly had a market in Beijing, otherwise Kangxi would not have had to risk returning to Beijing, which was about to be besieged by the Ming army, in such a critical situation.
But he would not be like Emperor Yuan Shun, who cowardly said, "How can we resume the emblem and imperial status today!" Nor would he want to run away like Chongzhen but was too embarrassed to mention it, and wanted to make the people below him angry. He has his "Thirty-Six Strategies for Positioning".
Emperor Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "What Brother Shenggong said is very good. This is exactly what I want to do... But as the emperor, I shoulder the responsibilities of the world, and I have to be prepared for everything. You can’t just think about good things!
Moreover, there are so many old, weak, women and children in the city of Beijing that they cannot fight at all. If they stay in the city, they will only waste military supplies. There are also many craftsmen and merchants, although they are not necessarily old or weak, but they are still unable to fight. .
In addition, many Korean coats accompanied the old, weak, women and children who were in the banner into the city. These people can only be used as slaves, but cannot be driven to fight against the traitors... So I plan to personally lead the elite warriors to stay in the capital, fight to the death with the thieves, and wait for the soldiers of the King of Qin in the world!
And all the ministers have the talents of kings and assistants. They are all the pillars of the country and my most trusted ministers. Therefore, I want you to protect the Empress Dowager and the princes, as well as the old and weak prisoners of the capital and the industrial and commercial guards, and leave first... leave Juyongguan and retreat to Guihua City to temporarily avoid the enemy. "
After Kangxi said these words, the courtiers present, including Kong Shenggong and Prince Gong Chang Ning, were moved - Kangxi wanted to stay and cover for the big guys!
He wants to sacrifice himself to protect everyone... Emperor Yuan Shun and Ming Chongzhen together can't compare to him!
If Emperor Chongzhen and his subordinates had said, "You go, I will cover you!" What else could the subordinates say?
So the ministers under Kangxi were only moved and didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty! Your servant Wang Fuchen is willing to live and die with your Majesty and the capital!"
Wang Fuchen was the first to react and said with tears that he would defend Beijing with Kangxi - well, when everyone else left and only he and Kangxi were left, they could do the seller's job of seeking glory!
"Okay!" Kangxi nodded approvingly, "What a Wang Fuchen... I really saw you right! I ordered you to be the Admiral of the Nine Sects and be in charge of the capital's defense!"
Success!
Now Emperor Kangxi could finally be betrayed to Ming Dynasty!
Wang Fuchen was so excited that he quickly kowtowed to his "great benefactor" Kangxi: "I thank you for your kindness. I will definitely defend the emperor and the Qing Dynasty to the death!"
"Okay!" Kangxi nodded heavily again, with a moved expression on his face, "Wang Fuchen, what I want is a man like you! If there are men like you under Chongzhen, why would they hang up Jingshan? Although I have I am determined to die in Sheji, but I believe that with you Wang Fuchen here, I will definitely not go to Jingshan!"
In fact, there are no trees in Shangjing Mountain to hang...
After Kangxi made an impassioned speech, he turned to Kong Shenggong and said, "Brother Shenggong, can your regiment training go to Guihua City?"
"Of course you can!" Kong Shenggong nodded and said, "They are all team members who know the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. As long as the emperor says a word, they can go anywhere in the world?"
In fact, the top leaders of Confucianism have already been preparing to run away - they are all great Confucians who are familiar with "Anti-Jing", how can they not know the truth of the Three Caves of Cunning Confucianism?
They are sworn enemies of Zhu Heji's Confucian sect!
Once Zhu Heji takes control of Shandong, these Confucian leaders will definitely not end well. Moreover, Confucianism is not only found in Shandong, but also has many Confucian disciples in Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even Gansu. With the help of these Confucian disciples, it would not be too difficult for the Confucian main hall to move westward.
As for the 60,000 Lu Yong brought to Beijing by Kong Shenggong, they can also follow them. Their backbones are all strong and powerful rural sages from Shandong, Henan, Zhili, Shanxi, Huaibei and other places.
It's impossible for them to organize anti-Ming forces in their hometown... They can't defeat them at all! It is also impossible to openly resist the Ming Dynasty's land equalization system. That would be tantamount to starting a war!
So after settling down the family, the only way out is to follow Kong Shenggong to go out and have a career... maybe he can make some name for himself.
The ordinary Lu Yong who followed them were usually the youngest sons of poor farmers or sharecroppers. Under the rural meritocracy system, it was impossible for them to obtain land, and it was almost impossible for them to make a comeback in their hometown, so following the rural meritocracy above them to go out and try their luck was also a way out.
Emperor Kangxi nodded, smiled and said to Kong Shenggong: "Brother Shenggong, please take Lu Yong with you to go and naturalize together with the Empress Dowager, the old and weak women and children in the capital, and the industrial and commercial coatmen. .”
"Yes." Kong Shenggong stood up and bowed to Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi nodded, invited him to sit down, and then said to his younger brother Chang Ning: "Prince Gong, I will leave Prince Yinreng in your care..." As he spoke, Kangxi showed a look of unbearability. , "If you leave later, I still want to spend more time with Yinreng."
This is a farewell between father and son!
Looking at Emperor Kangxi's expression, Chang Ning finally believed that Emperor Kangxi really wanted the emperor to die in Sheji!
I really didn’t expect that he rushed back to Beijing from the battlefield in Henan to die... He is truly a descendant of Aisin Gioro!
"Brother Emperor..." Chang Ning burst into tears at this time. He thought about how he had been obsessed with being the emperor's uncle and regent for the past two years. He was so ashamed that he could only kowtow and cry bitterly.
And Kangxi looked at his good brother with a look of reluctance... Brothers, now it's time to part ways!
...
"What? Kangxi is really ready to die?"
In Wang Fuchen's military camp in Tongzhou City, Liu Xuanchu couldn't believe his ears when he heard Wang Fuchen talk about what he saw and heard in the Forbidden City in Beijing today - this Kangxi was so smart that he stayed in Beijing and covered others' escape.
"Is there no fraud?" Liu Xuanchu asked.
"No," Wang Fuchen said, "When I left Beijing, the headquarters of each banner of the New Eight Banners had already begun to register the number of people and form teams... Martial law was also enforced in the outer city, and the shopkeepers and clerks of Huangzhuang They all suffered and were already crying together.
In addition, Kong Shenggong's troops are also preparing to leave. I heard that they will protect the Empress Dowager and leave first in the next two days. As for the list of officials who escaped, I heard that it had been drawn up a long time ago... It seems that Kang Mazi had been planning this for more than a day or two.
By the way, brothers Kangxi and Prince Gong were still crying in the south study room today. One look at them and they knew that they were brothers who were about to part ways! "
Hearing Wang Fuchen's words of certainty, Liu Xuanchu no longer had any doubts and exhaled: "God is really helping me... As long as Kangxi doesn't leave, others can leave."
"Yes!" Wang Fuchen said with a smile, "That Prince Gong Chang Ning is a useless person. He will lead a group of remnant soldiers to defeat the general, and his end will be worse than Emperor Yuan Shun!"
Liu Xuanchu nodded and said with a smile: "That's when the Qing Dynasty has run out of energy... We are just at the right time!"
