The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army to capture Jinzhou City. He wanted to exchange the lives of Prince Li and three thousand Qing soldiers for this old woman to return to reunite with her son?
Is this... is this possible? Absolutely impossible!
Subconsciously, almost everyone present, including the mediocre gatekeepers and palace maids, as well as Fan Wencheng, who prided himself on being both civil and military, all had this idea.
How noble is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? A person above the nine heavens would come to Liaodong in person for an old woman? And in exchange for the lives of Prince Li and three thousand Qing soldiers?
Who is she? The Queen Mother?
For a moment, they all thought that this old woman was a very noble being!
However, reality is reality, and they quickly came to their senses. This old woman had been here for many days. Everyone knew that she was just the mother of a deputy general under King Huaishun, and she was from a humble background. The former Dongjiang Army people surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. This kind of person, even the gatekeepers and palace maids don't like him very much, how could he let such a noble person as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty come to Liaodong to fight in person, and pay such a high price in exchange for her to return?
To be honest, no one can understand it.
Even the old woman herself couldn't understand it.
However, she didn't care so much at this time. She just confirmed to Yue Tuo immediately: "You mean my son is in the Ming Dynasty. Can I go back to reunite with my son?"
Normally, Yue Tuo would not take a serious look at someone of the old woman's status. But at this time, in order to ensure the smoothness of the hostage exchange, he had a very correct attitude and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you will be able to return to Jinzhou soon to be with your son Chen Shaozong. ”
With Yue Tuo's identity, it was of course impossible for him to come here to lie. Even if the old woman doesn't go out on weekdays, she still understands this truth.
After confirming the news, she was finally so excited that she could hardly restrain her emotions.
She was already prepared to die. She just wanted to give an explanation to her family after her death, so she persisted. Suddenly, there is no need to die, he can return to the Ming Dynasty, and he can reunite with his son. This is like a person who is about to starve to death. Suddenly he finds that pie is falling from the sky, no, it is falling from the sky, and the gods are falling. The food is down.
How could the old woman be willing to die if she could not die, be reunited with her son, and watch her family flourish again and be filled with children and grandchildren?
It was only at this time that she came back to her senses. She couldn't help but knelt down on the ground in excitement and cried out: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
Watching this scene, the courtyard was silent and everyone was in a daze.
They all know that the emperor this old woman talks about is not the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
To be honest, many people looked at her with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes!
What a shame, how could the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was far more noble than the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, care about him so much? This is really a smile even to the point of death!
Fan Wencheng, the most knowledgeable among these people, still found this thing incredible after he came to his senses. He ignored the pain on his face and immediately asked Yue Tuo: "Your Highness, be careful that this is a trick of the Ming Dynasty. , don’t be fooled!”
This matter, when he thought about it, was really too weird, and he couldn't believe it in his heart!
However, Yue Tuo believed it, because the Ming Emperor's request was not only to exchange for the old woman, but also to hand over the body of Geng Zhongming and Geng Jimao to the Qing Dynasty. From these things, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to stand up for those ministers who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, Prince Li and the three thousand Qing soldiers could not withstand this.
To be honest, he actually admired the Emperor of Ming Dynasty very much in his heart, and even envied the people of Ming Dynasty for having such a good emperor! If it were Huang Taiji, he believed that Huang Taiji would never be able to do such a courageous and responsible thing!
At this time, Yue Tuo heard that Fan Wencheng actually questioned this matter again. If this guy jumped up and down to obstruct this matter, his father might not be able to come back.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became angry again, waved his hand and slapped her again.
However, this time, Fan Wencheng was face to face, looking at Yue Tuo. When he saw him making a move, he subconsciously avoided it. After all, he prides himself on being a man of both civil and military skills. If he couldn't avoid this, he would have ended up on the battlefield long ago.
However, Yue Tuo was angry. Seeing that he dared to hide, he immediately shouted: "You are so brave, you dare to hide from me?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward and slapped him again.
There were several princes below the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Yue Tuo was one of them. It can be said that his power was very great.
When Fan Wencheng heard Yue Tuo's angry shouts, he immediately did not dare to hide anymore, lest he further angered Yue Tuo.
So, with a "pop" sound, he received a solid slap in the face. That handsome face had been hit on both sides and was swollen! If I don't heal my injury for a few days, I won't be able to go out.
After Yue Tuo slapped him, he felt better and pointed at Fan Wencheng's nose and shouted: "This matter is related to the lives of Prince Li and three thousand soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. If you dare to talk nonsense, don't worry." No matter where you hide, I will kill you, this dog slave, do you hear me?"
Fan Wencheng was also beaten awake. He understood that Yue Tuo would definitely do such a thing to protect his father. Therefore, he covered his face, nodded quickly and said: "I will remember it, Your Highness, don't worry, I will remember it..."
When Yue Tuo saw this, he stopped caring about him. He pointed at the crowd of palace maids and shouted: "I have heard everything clearly, and I will serve you well before sending the old lady back to the Ming Dynasty. If you don't make the old lady dissatisfied at all, Yes, let me know about it later, and I won’t kill you!"
Hearing this, the palace maids were all frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground and agreed repeatedly.
After Yue Tuo finished explaining, he turned to look at the old woman, his face immediately changed, and he said with a flattering smile: "I feel wronged that the old lady has to stay here for a while. After the Qing Dynasty is ready, You can go back and reunite with Chen Shaozong!"
After arranging these things, Yue Tuo left in a hurry with his guards. After all, something happened to Huang Taiji. The old man was vomiting one after another. It looked like something was wrong. He had to rush back to see what was going on.
The two guards at the door watched him leave, then turned to look into the yard. They looked at each other, both full of envy!
After they were off duty, they would have to talk to their mother-in-law about such twists and turns when they got back. It was really surprising!
…………
In the palace, the news that Huang Taiji vomited blood again, and a lot of blood, spread quickly. Suddenly, Huang Taiji's harem was in chaos.
All the concubines hurried over to see Huang Taiji. In just a moment, a large number of women, headed by Queen Zhezhe, had gathered at the entrance of the palace. Among them, of course, are Hai Lanzhu, who is also in poor health, and Bumu Butai, who is fearful.
The chief eunuch in the palace announced loudly at the gate of the palace: "The emperor is worried about state affairs and is depressed. The imperial doctor has diagnosed that he can no longer be angry and needs to rest in peace. My ladies, please come back!"
The people in these palaces are very good at small details. At this time, when they heard that all the concubines were missing, they knew that Huang Taiji's condition was definitely very serious.
In this case, who would just leave?
Zhezhe was the queen of the main palace, so she begged the eunuch to let her go in and have a look, otherwise she would not be able to feel at ease.
This request is considered reasonable. The chief eunuch hesitated for a moment, then went in to ask for instructions, and then came out and took Zhezhe in.
On the dragon bed, Huang Taiji was lying flat on his back. Although the blood from the corners of his mouth had been wiped away, his complexion was extremely poor. Anyone could tell at a glance that his health was definitely not getting better. Suddenly, Zhezhe was afraid.
"I can't die yet." Huang Taiji was unhappy when he saw it. He tried hard not to be angry and said, "Look at my harem, then... then..."
He remembered what he heard about Bumbutai, and suddenly felt angry. He wanted to tell the queen to punish Bumbutai severely, but before he even opened his mouth, he felt so angry that he couldn't even say it twice.
When the doctor next to him saw it, he was in a hurry again. After a while, Huang Taiji slowly calmed down.
Huang Taiji knew that his physical condition was very bad, so he didn't dare to mention it anymore. Anyway, after he recovers, he will have plenty of time to deal with that bitch.
Thinking of this, he raised his finger very tiredly and signaled the queen to go out, not wanting to talk anymore.
When the queen saw this, she didn't dare to disturb him anymore. She also saw that Huang Taiji's body couldn't bear any stimulation. Therefore, he turned around and left the palace.
At this moment, Huang Taiji's weak voice was heard ordering the eunuch beside him: "Concubine Chuan Chen, come in!"
Hearing this, Zhezhe was also a woman. Even though she had never had a son and therefore was not involved in the intrigues in the palace, she still felt jealous for no reason.
This eldest niece of mine really has the emperor’s countless favors in one body!
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart, and without saying anything, she went out as usual.
The eunuch listened and hesitated for a while. Huang Taiji's health is extremely poor. In fact, he is not suitable to see people. He should rest peacefully. However, he also knew that Huang Taiji doted on Concubine Chen very much. Now that the decree had been issued, if it was not carried out, it might make Huang Taiji angry.
In desperation, he had no choice but to go out of the palace to announce the decree.
Outside the palace gate, when Zhezhe came out, the other concubines naturally lowered their voices and asked about the emperor's physical condition.
Seeing this, Zhezhe waved his hand to ask them to calm down, and whispered: "Your Majesty is in very bad health and cannot be disturbed at all. Sisters, please go back!"
Bu Mu Butai in the crowd rolled her eyes a few times when she heard this. She heard a lot from the Queen's words. Then, she immediately looked at her sister beside her.
So, she immediately whispered to Hai Lanzhu: "Sister, for the sake of Fulin being so small, please..."
Hai Lanzhu was in a state of confusion. When he heard her whispering, he turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing her miserable look, he immediately remembered what she said in his palace.
At that time, she was very surprised that her younger sister and Fulin, one older and younger, were crying and begging her, so she quickly asked about the situation.
Bumbutai didn't say anything at first, but then he did after she pressed her. When she was talking about what she said before, she was thinking that her sister was very favored by the emperor. When she gave birth to a child, the emperor granted a pardon to the whole world. She was also very happy for her sister. I just didn't expect to die young, and it's a pity every time I think about it. Seeing that I miss my sister often, I couldn't help but sigh. Who knew that the emperor found out about this matter, and he blamed her, saying that she deliberately made her sister miss the prince. Seeing the emperor's fierce look, it seemed that he was going to punish her severely.
Bumbutai asked her that if she was punished by the emperor, she would admit it. Who told her not to defend herself? It was an unintentional mistake. I just hope that my sister can take care of Fulin, who is of the emperor's blood after all, and don't vent her anger on him.
After thinking about these things in his mind, Hai Lanzhu shook his sister's hand and whispered to comfort her: "The emperor is easy to talk to. Don't worry, the emperor will not blame you."
When Bumbutai heard this, he couldn't help but feel very jealous. The emperor is very talkative. That's for you. When did the other concubines become so talkative?
While she was thinking, the eunuch came out and Xuan Hai Lanzhu came to see him.
When Bumubutai heard this, he quickly pulled Hailanzhu's sleeves, and looked at Hailanzhu with his eyes as if they could speak.
Hai Lanzhu knew what she wanted to say, so she just nodded and hurried into the palace.
Seeing Huang Taiji's tragic situation, Hai Lanzhu burst into tears first. When Huang Taiji saw this scene, he felt comfortable and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, my beloved, I will be fine if I take care of myself!"
There were still tears in Hai Lanzhu's eyes. Hearing this, she nodded vigorously and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The Qing Dynasty cannot live without Your Majesty, and I cannot live without Your Majesty!"
"Haha, don't worry, I know!" Huang Taiji felt a little better after hearing this, and even thought about leaning on the cushion and talking to Hai Lanzhu again.
When the imperial doctor waiting nearby saw him, he felt relieved. It seems that Concubine Chen is really the emperor's sweetheart. With Concubine Chen taking care of her, the emperor can forget his worries and his body will recover faster.
Caressing Hai Lanzhu's hand, Huang Taiji said with a smile: "When my body recovers, we must continue to work hard. Remember, my beloved concubine's body must also be in good health!"
Hearing this, Hai Lanzhu immediately remembered what happened to her sister, so she said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, my sister is an outspoken person. She doesn't have so many thoughts. She just sees me missing her dead son. , I said a few words casually, but they were all unintentional words. I don’t care about it, so Your Majesty doesn’t need to..."
As she was talking, she suddenly noticed that Huang Taiji, who had been smiling just now, suddenly froze and blushed a few times, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
