Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 275

Standing under the famous crooked neck tree on Jingshan Mountain.Kangxi climbed high and overlooked the city of Beijing under the setting sun.

Kong Shenggong also had a group of ministers from the Qing Dynasty.Seeing this scene, my heart felt a little cold.

Does the emperor really want the emperor to guard the country and the king to die?

But Chang Ning is getting a little hotheaded... Is there really a chance?

……

"What? Kangxi went to Jingshan? Hanged, hung up?"

In Tongzhou City to the east of Beijing, Wang Fuchen, who had just led his troops back here, suddenly heard an unbelievable news from Liu Xuanchu.

"No, he hasn't reached the end of his life yet." Liu Xuanchu took another sip of tea, he had just returned from Beijing.Although he didn't follow Jingshan, the news is definitely true.

"Isn't it too soon?" Wang Fuchen thought for a while, his eyes sparkling with fire, "Mr. Liu, Beijing is an unrivaled achievement... When shall we do it?"

Entering Beijing is a great achievement to be able to become the Duke of the state!Of course Wang Fuchen's eyes were hot, even if he could only get a share of the action.

"It's not the time yet," Liu Xuanchu waved his hand and said with a smile, "We can't enter Beijing yet, so how can there be such a chance?"

It was Bumbutai who prevented Wang Fuchen and the others from entering the city. This old lady was very good at seeing people, and she always felt that something was wrong with Wang Fuchen.So let grandson Chang Ning keep him out of Beijing.

But now the city of Beijing has changed!

"Military Master, Kangxi is back, so I have a chance to enter the city!" Wang Fuchen said with a smile, "I can't fool that cunning old lady, can I also fool Kangxi?"

"That's true!" Liu Xuanchu laughed, "The general has already lied to Kangxi once...General, tell me, is it possible for Kangxi to hang up?"

Chapter 641 The Kangxi Hanging on Jingshan Mountain is the Good Kangxi!

Hearing Liu Xuanchu's question, Wang Fuchen's eyes lit up!

Taking all of Beijing is enough to get one, no, several princes.However, Wang Fuchen may not be able to get one, after all, his qualifications are shallow, and he is still a [-] minister (he did not completely rely on Wu Sangui).Among the Ming army that is now driving to Zhili, there are a lot of people who are more qualified to be the Duke of the country than him.

But if Wang Fuchen can make Kangxi go to Jingshan, then there must be one of the limited princes... probably a "iron prince" who can be hereditary and irreplaceable!

However, Wang Fuchen also knew that this matter was not easy to handle, so he frowned involuntarily, "Military division, according to my understanding of Kangxi, although he has a good face, he is by no means a person who wants to save face. It is still difficult to hang the crooked neck tree on Jingshan Mountain."

"He's not desperate for face, so why is he going back to Beijing?" Liu Xuanchu was a little puzzled, "Didn't he go to Chang'an long ago, why did he come back?"

Wang Fuchen said with a smile: "The military division does not know. Although Kangxi has long been planning to move the capital, the people below are not willing to bear with Beijing! The northwest is really barren, not to mention Zhili, even outside Shanhaiguan. Shaanxi and Gansu are much stronger. Moreover, Guanzhong was still occupied by Wu Yingqi before, and it was impossible for Kangxi to move his capital to the northwest. So he came back this time at the risk of going to Jingshan, probably to take away the national population in Beijing. .”

"So that's it!" Liu Xuanchu nodded, and just when he was about to plan with Wang Fuchen on how to hang Kangxi up, Wang Fuchen's son Wang Zhenji's voice suddenly came from outside, "Daddy, someone is coming from the palace, please go and receive the order." .”

"In the palace?" Wang Fuchen didn't get up immediately, but asked, "Which palace?"

Now he is also a person who has the freedom of loyal ministers, so of course he has to ask clearly—what kind of people are here, he has to wear what kind of clothes, there can be no mistake.

"Beijing," Wang Zhenji said, "it's someone from the Beijing palace, and I want to announce you to the palace for an audience."

When Wang Fuchen heard this, he smiled and said to Liu Xuanchu: "Military Master, it seems that there is a chance to hang Kangxi on the crooked neck tree on Jingshan Mountain!"

……

"Kakkaka..."

That's the sound a saw makes when it cuts down a tree pole!

And the tree that was helplessly hurt by the saw was the crooked neck tree used by Emperor Chongzhen!

Liu Xuanchu and Wang Fuchen still underestimated Emperor Kangxi. In order to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of himself becoming the "Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty", this little holy lord of the Qing Dynasty adopted the simplest and most effective method - sawing off the crooked neck tree!

There are no trees, so it is impossible for him to hang them up!

Seeing that the crooked neck tree was sawed down by the eunuchs commanded by Xiao Guizi's father-in-law, Kangxi finally heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he felt a little admiration for himself.

This Mingjun is Mingjun!The nightmare of hanging on the tree with a crooked neck was simply resolved for him.Although the Great Qing Dynasty is about to become the Northern Qing Dynasty, this still cannot change the fact that Kangxi is a Ming emperor!

"Long Live Lord," Xiao Guizi's father-in-law approached Mingjun Kangxi and whispered, "Long Live Lord, there are still many crooked neck trees on Jingshan Mountain. Look..."

"It's all sawn off!" Kangxi said firmly, "Get rid of the evil and do all the work, and leave no future trouble!"

"Whoo!"

Kangxi asked again: "Is Wang Fuchen here?"

"Here we are, waiting in the South Study Room," said Eunuch Xiao Guizi, "Prince Gong, several ministers of the South Study Room, and Kong Shenggong have also arrived."

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded, "I'll go see them first...Xiao Guizi, I'll leave it to you to cut down the trees. You must get rid of the evil, and you must not be lazy. I will come to check it myself tomorrow!"

"Whoo!"

After arranging the task of destroying the crooked neck tree in Jingshan, Emperor Kangxi swaggered down Jingshan with a few eunuchs and guards, then got on the imperial chariot, and went straight to the South Study Room in the southwest of Qianqing Palace.

And when Kangxi came to Nanshufang, Gong Wang Changning, Kong Shenggong, Mingzhu, Li Yu, Du Lide, Feng Pu and others were surrounding Wang Fuchen to inquire about the situation outside Beijing.

Wang Fuchen replied with a sad face: "Pinggu was lost last night, and Sanhe was surrounded by rebels, and there has been no news for two days. It is probably more or less ominous, but Xianghe's situation is not bad... But the real situation right now The danger is on the side of Tianjin Prefecture. Ninghe and Lutai towns have long been lost! The rebels may march into Tanggu and Dagu at any time, and seize the seaports and commercial ports!"

Hearing that the Ming army was marching towards Tianjin instead of Beijing, Kong Shenggong was a little puzzled, "Aren't they in a hurry to attack Beijing?"

"It's not that I'm not in a hurry, but I can't." Wang Fuchen explained, "To attack Beijing, you need heavy artillery to demolish the city walls. You need long-barreled guns that can fire shells weighing ten to twenty catties. That kind of cannon is not Fazi was pulled all the way from Lushunkou, and had to be transported by sea. Moreover, the rebels came all the way and fought more than a dozen battles. The ammunition wasted a lot and needed to be replenished urgently. However, the road from Lushun to Shuntianfu is too far away. , and it’s not easy to go. So getting through the sea is a prerequisite for storming Beijing!”

Kong Shenggong inquired: "It will take a lot of time, right?"

"It won't take long to take down Dagu and Tanggu." Wang Fuchen said, "As for the ships transporting heavy artillery and ammunition, they should be moored on the sea outside Dagu by now. However, after unloading the artillery and ammunition, transport them to It will take some days outside of Beijing... I reckon it will take another month for them to attack Beijing."

Kong Shenggong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, the emperor still has time to escape."

As soon as he mentioned that the emperor was running away, the atmosphere in the South study suddenly became dignified, and Wang Fuchen, who had been chatting enthusiastically with Kong Shenggong before, became dumb all of a sudden.

Kong Shenggong also felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he didn't know what was wrong now, he was very daring to speak, and his waist was also stiff, so he continued to talk about it.

"By the way, the emperor came back to Beijing to lead the big guy on a run, right? Where is he going to go? Is it to Xi'an?"

He had [-] Lu Yong to back him up, but no one else, so they all fell silent.

Just when he was in embarrassment, Kangxi's voice came in suddenly: "Brother Shenggong, I will not leave Beijing... I will not learn from Emperor Yuan Shun. If Beijing City is really unable to defend, I will be the Qing Dynasty Emperor Chongzhen!"

Several people heard Kangxi's voice, hurriedly stood up according to the shift, then knelt and kowtowed together, shouting long live.

Emperor Kangxi, who had just had his neck sawed off, seemed to be in a good mood, with a confident smile on his face, and brisk steps. After entering the South Study Room, he sat down on the throne, and said with a smile: "Pingshen, flats... Stand up and talk! Today we should also behave properly, don't just lie on the ground if you have nothing to do."

This rule was changed for Kong Shenggong... Shenggong who has [-] Lu Yong deserves the respect of Emperor Kangxi!

Everyone stood up, but except for Kong Shenggong, they all dropped their hands and shoulders, bent over and controlled their backs, still looking like a good slave of the Qing Dynasty... Kong Shenggong stood there swaggeringly, watching with a smile The chair under Emperor Kangxi's buttocks.

"Come here," Kangxi hurriedly ordered, "bring a chair to my Shenggong brother!"

The last person who was qualified to sit and discuss state affairs with the Qing emperor was probably Huang Ama's regent Dorgon!Now Kong Shenggong has also begun to enjoy the treatment of "Kong Ama"!

Seeing Kong Shenggong sat down contentedly, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "I am coming back to Beijing this time to fight the rebels to the death! I don't want to learn from Emperor Yuan Shun, I want to learn from Chongzhen!"

"Brother Huang, no!" Prince Gong Changning immediately knelt down to Kangxi.

Although he hopes that Kangxi will learn from Chongzhen in his heart, he still has to pretend to be a loyal and good brother.

Kangxi looked at his younger brother, seemed quite moved, nodded and said: "Chang Ning, I plan to make you and my younger brother Shenggong the rulers of the Qing Dynasty... If anything happens to me, Prince Yinfeng will entrust you!"

Chapter 642 You go, I cover!

"Your Majesty, please don't say such things... Please take it back!"

"Your Majesty, please take it back!"

"Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty cannot live without you!"

"emperor……"

"Brother Huang, the slave Chang Ning should not be the King of Discussion!"

As soon as Kangxi's words came out, the ministers who were standing all fell to the ground, crying and calling for Kangxi to take back his orders.That Prince Gong, Chang Ning, even kowtowed like garlic, his forehead was swollen.Only Kong Shenggong, who was backed by [-] Lu Yong, was still sitting there safely—with strength, even if he wanted to keep a low profile!

Looking at the kneeling cowards, Kong Shenggong straightened his back again, and said to Kangxi with a smile: "Your Majesty, the city of Beijing is high and solid, and there are many soldiers and generals, and the monarchs and ministers are united and work together... so Fortified city, even if there are millions of thieves, it is enough to hold on.

However, the Ming army only had [-] troops, and they were still alone, lacking both food and ammunition.If the emperor can lead the big guys to stick to the capital together, and then order the kings in all directions to work hard, he will definitely be able to defeat the rebels and win a big victory. "

Kong Shenggong's words certainly have a market in Beijing, otherwise Kangxi would not have to take the risk of returning to Beijing, which was about to be besieged by the Ming army, in such a critical situation.

But he will not be like Emperor Yuanshun, saying cowardly, "How can I be a Hui and Qin again today!", and he will not want to run away like Chongzhen but is too embarrassed to mention it, and wants the people below to be thundered.He has his "36 tactics are the best method".

Emperor Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "What Brother Sheng Gong said is very good, this is exactly what I want to do... But as the Son of Heaven, I shoulder the responsibility of the world, and I must be prepared for everything, and I can't just think about good things. Son!

What's more, there are so many old and weak women and children in Beijing, they can't fight at all, and staying in the city can only waste the army food.There are also many craftsmen and merchants, although they are not necessarily old or weak, they are also unable to fight.

In addition, there are many North Korean coats accompanying the old and weak women and children in the banner into the city.These people can only be used as slaves, and cannot be driven to fight against the rebels... So I plan to personally lead the elite soldiers to stay in the capital, fight the rebels to the end, and wait for the soldiers of the king of the world!

And all the ministers have the talents of Wang Zuo, they are the pillars of the country, and they are also my most trusted ministers.So I want you to protect the Empress Dowager and the princes, as well as the old and weak captives of the capital, and the businessmen and businessmen to leave first...Leave Juyongguan and retreat to Guihua City to temporarily avoid the army. "

After Kangxi said these words, the courtiers present, including Kong Shenggong and Prince Gong Changning, were all moved——Kangxi wanted to stay behind to cover the big guys!

He is sacrificing himself to protect everyone...Emperor Yuan Shun and Ming Chongzhen together are no match for him!

If the Emperor Chongzhen had said to the subordinates: "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! The servant Wang Fuchen is willing to live and die with the Emperor and the capital!"

Wang Fuchen was the first to react, and with tears in his eyes, he said that he would guard Beijing with Kangxi—well, when everyone else left, and only him and Kangxi were left, he could do the business of seeking glory from the seller!

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded approvingly, "What a Wang Fuchen... I really didn't misunderstand you! I ordered you to be the admiral of the Nine Gates, in charge of the defense of the capital!"

It worked!

Now he can finally betray Emperor Kangxi to Daming!

Wang Fuchen was so excited in his heart, he quickly kowtowed to his "great benefactor" Kangxi: "I thank my master Long En, I will swear to the death to defend the emperor and the Qing Dynasty!"

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded again, with a moved expression on Ma's face, "Wang Fuchen, what I want is a man like you! If Chongzhen had a man like you, why would he go to Jingshan? Although I have I am determined to kill Sheji, but I believe that with you Wang Fuchen here, I will definitely not go to Jingshan!"

In fact, there is no tree to hang on Shangjingshan...

After Kangxi gave a generous speech, he turned to Kong Shenggong and said, "Brother Shenggong, can your group practice go to Guihua City?"

"Of course it can!" Kong Shenggong nodded, "They are all team members who know the principle of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. As long as the emperor says a word, they can't go anywhere in the world?"

In fact, the top officials of Confucianism have long been preparing to run away—they are all great Confucianists who are familiar with the "Anti-Classic", so how can they not know the truth of the three caves of cunning Confucianism?

They are deadly rivals with Zhu Heqi's Confucian school!

Once Zhu and Chi took control of Shandong, the leaders of Confucianism would definitely not end well.Moreover, Confucianism not only exists in Shandong, but also has many Confucian disciples in Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even Gansu.With the help of these disciples of Confucianism, it would not be too difficult for the main hall of Confucianism to move westward.

As for the [-] Lu Yongs that Kong Shenggong brought to Beijing, they could all follow him. Their backbones were all strong and strong village sages from Shandong, Henan, Zhili, Shanxi, Huaibei and other places.

It is impossible for them to organize anti-Ming armed forces in their hometown... they can't fight at all!It is also impossible to openly resist the equal land system of Ming Dynasty, that would be tantamount to war!

So after settling the house down, the only way to go out with Kong Shenggong is the only way out...Maybe you will make some famous things.

And the ordinary Lu Yong who came out with them were usually the youngest sons of poor farmers and tenant farmers.Under the village sage system, it is impossible for them to obtain land, and it is almost impossible for them to stand up in their hometown, so it is also a way out to go out with the sages above.

Emperor Kangxi nodded and said to Kong Shenggong with a smile: "Brother Shenggong, please take Lu Yong and go first, and protect the empress dowager, the old and weak women and children in the capital, and go to naturalize together .”

"Yes." Kong Shenggong stood up and bowed to Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi nodded, greeted him to sit down, and then said to his younger brother Chang Ning: "Prince Gong, the crown prince Yinreng will be taken care of by you..." As he spoke, Kangxi showed a look of impatience, "You two Let's go later, I still want to spend more time with Yinfeng."

This is to say goodbye to father and son!

Looking at Emperor Kangxi's expression, Chang Ning finally believed that Emperor Kangxi really wanted the emperor to die for Sheji!

I really didn't expect that he rushed back to Beijing from the battlefield in Henan, and he came to die... He really deserves to be a descendant of Aixinjueluo!

"Brother Huang..." Chang Ning couldn't cry at this time, and he thought of his obsessed desire to be the emperor's uncle and regent for the past two years, so 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 say goodbye!

……

"What? Kangxi is really ready to die?"

In Wang Fuchen's barracks in Tongzhou City, Liu Xuanchu couldn't believe his ears after hearing what Wang Fuchen had seen and heard in Beijing's Forbidden City today—this Kangxi was so kind, he stayed in Beijing by himself to cover others from escaping.

"There will be no fraud, right?" Liu Xuanchu asked.

"No," Wang Fuchen said, "When I left Beijing, the capital commanders of the New Eight Banners had already begun to register the number of people and form teams... The outer city was also under martial law, and the shopkeepers and assistants of the Huangzhuang Village all suffered. , are already crying into a ball.

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 escaped officials, I heard that it has been drawn up a long time ago... It seems that Kang Mazi has not been planning this matter for a day or two.

By the way, Kangxi and Prince Gong were in tears today in the South Study Room. It was obvious from the first glance that they were brothers who were about to part with each other! "

Hearing what Wang Fuchen said was so certain, Liu Xuanchu no longer doubted it, and exhaled, "God is helping me...as long as Kangxi doesn't leave, others can leave."

"Yes!" Wang Fuchen said with a smile, "That Prince Gong Changning is a useless person. He wants to lead a group of remnants of defeated soldiers out of the mouth, and his fate will only be worse than that of Emperor Yuanshun!"
