Chapter 79 Meet the King and Minister 1
After Wu Yong was ordered, he also dispatched 20,000 officers and soldiers from Juyong Pass and Zijing Pass to the north to help. However, after arriving near the capital, he learned that the capital division had been defeated, he stopped marching and did not dare to approach the capital division again. Now Chen soldiers are in Zhuozhou all the way, and the other way retreated. Juyong Pass was stationed. Obviously, they did not dare to come back to Beijing to rescue.
As for the Shaanxi soldiers and horses under Hong Chengchou, there is no news for the time being. It is estimated that it will take a month to arrive near the capital as soon as possible, and there is also no movement on the Guanning army. There is no soldier and a king sent by the Guanning army. Within this month, it is estimated that no reinforcements dares to come to fight against the rebels. .
After listening, Chongzhen didn't say anything for a long time. He leaned against the dragon chair with his eyes closed, curled up slightly, and his expression was very painful.
This is the Ming Dynasty he was in charge of. This is the officer of the Great Wall. The rebels attacked the capital. As soon as the capital was broken, everyone began to watch the wind direction and completely ignored the safety of him, the emperor. How could Chongzhen not feel sad?
Cao Huachun is also very good at understanding Chongzhen's current mood. Seeing that he closed his eyes and stood below to stop talking, Chongzhen closed his eyes for a long time and gradually calmed down again. No matter how sad he is now, the current situation can't be solved, so he still has to face the reality now. What he cares about now is What will Yu Xiaotian do next?
So after Chongzhen stabilized his mood, he stopped asking more about these messy things, but instead asked Cao Huachun what he had said after he met Yu Xiaotian this time.
Cao Huachun glanced at several other eunuchs in the imperial study. Chongzhen knew that Cao Huachun had some words that were inconvenient for more people to know, so he waved his hand and drove out several other eunuchs in the imperial study to obey orders outside the imperial study, but he could not get close to the imperial study.
After all the eunuchs withdrew from the imperial study, Cao Huachun knelt to the ground again and said to Chongzhen, "Shang Sheng, before sending the old slave to the palace, Yu Xiaotian proposed to the old slave that he wanted to enter the palace..."
As soon as Chongzhen heard this, he stood up and made a sound with the dragon chair he sat down, and almost stood up and overturned by him.
"What are you talking about? How dare the thief come to see me? Does he really want to lead the army into the palace? Chongzhen shouted angrily.
"The Lord is angry! Please listen to the old slave and hope the Lord will forgive me!" Cao Huachun kowtowed quickly.
Chongzhen was shocked and scared. He waved his hand and said angrily, "Just say it!" I forgive you for your innocence!"
Cao Huachun knelt on the ground tremblingly and continued to Chongzhen, "Your Holiness! Anyway, it is true that Yu Xiaotian has now controlled the capital! If he wants to lead the army into the palace, I'm afraid it can be said that it will be effortless, but after the old slave saw the thief this time, the thief was still respectful to the emperor and repeatedly promised the old slave that he would never harm the emperor!
He repeatedly stated that his entry into Beijing was for the side of the Qing Dynasty and a Qing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to revive the rivers and mountains for the Ming Dynasty, not to rebel and riot, let alone the idea of ascend to the throne instead!
But at this point, it is not a way to stay so stalemate. Yu Thief said to the old slave that it is better to speak directly to the emperor face to face! Otherwise, the emperor can't stay in the palace all the time. The Ming Dynasty always needs the emperor to take charge!"
After listening to this, Chongzhen was surprised. After a while, he asked Cao Huachun, "So that's what the thief really said? Isn't he afraid that after entering the palace, I will order someone to take him down?
Cao Huachun smiled bitterly...
After Cao Huachun entered the palace for a whole day, he once again came to Yu Xiaotian and said to Xiaotian, "Marshal, the miscellaneous family is not humiliated. Now the emperor has agreed to summon you in the Wenhua Hall!
But the emperor said first that the commander's family members are only allowed to enter the Wenhua Hall and are not allowed to break into other palaces. Otherwise, the emperor would rather die than be at your mercy!
Please keep your promise and never harm the emperor, otherwise the old slave will never forgive you even if he is a ghost!"
Yu Xiaotian nodded with a smile and said, "Yu has always said what he said! Please rest assured! Yu led a family man and only entered the Wenhua Hall from Donghua Gate, and no one would set foot in the rest of the place!
But I also hope that the emperor will not think about anything else. In that case, I'm afraid things will not be easy to deal with in the end! In case it disturbs the Holy One, then Yu will be very guilty!"
Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Our family has made it clear to the emperor. Our family has already talked to the emperor, and the emperor is also willing to see you!" The emperor also promised that he would never be unfavorable to the marshal, and I hope the marshal will be self-respecting!"
Yu Xiaotian laughed and sent someone to send Cao Huachun back to the palace again.
April 20, the 12th year of Chongzhen, this day can be regarded as an extremely important day for history. Yu Xiaotian, the commander of the Yu family army, finally stepped into the palace from Donghua Gate on the time of the handover between Mao and Chen Shi this morning.
Yu Xiaotian also completely entered the center of the political power of the Ming Dynasty, and saw Zhu Youjian, the first person with the most prominent Ming Dynasty in this era, that is, Emperor Chongzhen in the Wenhua Hall.
Before Xiaotian entered the palace, Liu Wang first led 200 guards to enter the Wenhua Hall, and set up sentries around the Wenhua Hall to control the Wenhua Hall with the Jinyi guards and eunuchs in the palace. Before this, the two sides had agreed in advance. After the guards entered the palace, they also strictly followed the agreement. Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, who were in charge here, were a little relieved.
As soon as he arrived at Yu Xiaotian, he entered the Donghua Gate and was led into the Wenhua Hall by Cao Huachun. At this time, Chongzhen did not arrive at the Wenhua Hall in advance. In the hall, there were only Liu Wang, several guards and more than a dozen warriors who looked tigers.
These palace warriors are all brocade guards under the brocade guard system. They have always been chosen to be loyal to the royal family. This time, Yu Xiaotian led troops into the capital and surrounded the palace. There is no doubt that in the eyes of these people, Yu Xiaotian is a traitor, but now he has entered the palace in a big way. What about these brocade guards? Can't be angry?
These brocade guards wore lock armor one by one and wore a standard embroidered spring knife for brocade guards at their waist. The top armor also looked majestic. When they saw Yu Xiaotian one by one, they all looked at each other and couldn't wait to swallow Yu Xiaotian in one bite.
But next to them, there are Yu Xiaotian's guards, and the emperor is not allowed to move, so these brocade guards can only stare and have a good time.
Yu Xiaotian can be said to have turned a blind eye on these brocade guards. He is now a master. Whether it is a pre-battle or a close combat, he has learned the most practical martial arts skills. Although he has not personally cut people with a knife for many years, he has not lost his kung fu. Next, I still practice diligently every day.
In novels or movies, how to brag about the big internal guards of the Ming Dynasty? In fact, they are all false. At best, these big internal guards of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the skin is better, taller and stronger, and better-looking. In fact, few of these people have the opportunity to cooperate with People do it, that is, it's just a product that fills the facade.
According to Yu Xiaotian's understanding of these palace guards, these people have a set of eating, drinking and gambling when they are free, but in fact, they are all embroidered pillows, which are what the emperor put on.
Not to mention that these people have no ability, even if they have some real ability, they are all given in front of Yu Xiaotian's guards. Even Yu Xiaotian himself is confident that there is no problem with putting them down at will.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian was not nervous about these internal guards of the Ming Dynasty and completely ignored their existence. Seeing that Chongzhen was not in the Wenhua Hall, Yu Xiaotian smiled secretly. At this time, Chongzhen was still putting on airs. I guessed that he was more anxious to see himself than anyone else at this time, but he felt that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. , it's a little expensive to wait for a rebel here, so I deliberately hold it now and refuse to come out.
So Yu Xiaotian was not in a hurry and began to look at the environment in the Wenhua Hall behind his back. The current Wenhua Hall was built in the early Ming Dynasty. The shape is basically similar to the Wenhua Hall preserved by later generations. The carved beams and paintings are quite beautiful, and the objects placed in the palace are also very exquisite, if they are passed on to later generations. It is estimated to be a national treasure cultural relic, but in this era, even if it is exquisite and precious, it is far less precious than that of later generations.
Yu Xiaotian even saw the glassware of his sea wolf group specialty in the corner of Wenhua Hall. It is a huge glass blown vase with inner paintings on it. Flowers, birds, insects and fish are quite exquisite. He still remembers seeing this thing with his own eyes, like when it should have been sent to Beijing as a tribute in the fifth year of Chongzhen. Unexpectedly, he saw this thing in the Wenhua Hall today, so he walked to the front of the glass vase and observed it carefully. It looked quite leisurely.
It is because Xiaotian wandered around the Wenhua Hall curiously. When he looked at the various utensils placed in it, an eunuch shrilled in the back of the palace and shouted, "The Holy Lord is here!"
Those eunuchs and palace warriors in the palace just watched Yu Xiaotian walk around in the palace without rules and look here from time to time. They were all angry, but they did not dare to scold him. They could only glare at his behavior. When they heard the eunuchs shouting that the emperor was coming, Everyone quickly knelt down to welcome the arrival of Chongzhen.
In fact, these palace guards and eunuchs do not need to kneel down to welcome the holy driver when the emperor comes, but today's situation is a little special. These people are aggrieved. Looking at Yu Xiaotian being so disrespectful to the emperor and the palace, they deliberately kneel down to welcome the holy driver.
And Yu Xiaotian heard Chongzhen coming, so he also walked back to the middle of the hall and waved his hand to make Liu Wang and other guards kneel down to welcome the holy driver. Even he himself was full of slander and knelt on the ground secretly. He said that I will kneel down now. Sooner or later, the fucking Zhu family will give it to me. Come back, now just think of it as a condescending one.
