Chapter 153 Past Events
Chapter 153 Past
Beijing, Forbidden City.
In the mule and horse carriage, there were gold and silver utensils wrapped in cloth, treasures, and eunuchs and palace maids were in chaos, and they even pushed each other. Over there, several eunuchs and palace maids were rolling together, and the imperial carriage was more than ten feet away, but they seemed to have not seen each other.
That's what it means to fly away when the disaster comes.
The Six Kings looked at the scene of chaotic escaping in front of them, and slowly closed their eyes.
"Your Majesty, get off quickly." The military minister Gui Liang was urging the six kings next to him. Nan Ni saw that the troops were approaching the city. The war in Shaanxi and Gansu was not good, and the road to escape west was blocked. Now he had to retreat outside the pass.
The Six Kings nodded slightly, then sighed softly. Jing Xiang had disliked him since he was a child, and the cause came from a banquet. I remember that he was eight years old and Jing Xiang was seven years old. When he saw him handsome, he had a good impression of him and wanted to tell him that one day he would take him to fight crickets. Who knew that he had a childish voice and said that he had "a great ambition and aloof talent", and he was also arguing with Confucius and Mencius. His words were completely different from books, but they made a lot of sense, and he made a speech speech. Although there was no one else present at that time, this was a humiliation that he would never forget in his life.
Since then, the more I look at him, the more I feel that he is like a painted man, and he is a ghost. He is ignorant on the surface, but he doesn't know what he is pretending to be.
Now, I really got caught up with it. Could this thief be really the result of the disaster that came down from heaven and destroyed my Qing Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, these mules and carriages can't go far, so just smash them all!" Gui Liang looked at the carriages, knowing that this situation was, he was afraid that Nan Ni would catch up with them before he arrived outside the pass. Instead of leaving these treasures for Jing Xiang, it would be better to smash them all and scatter them one by one.
The Six Kings were silent for a while and said, "Forget it, stay all."
Gui Liang was stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He turned around and ordered the eunuch, who took the order and left.
"Emperor, where are Sushun and Chongqi?" Gui Liang asked again. Needless to say, Sushun is Jing Xiang's brother-in-law. He was a military officer and officer in the office of the infantry commander. After the outbreak of the war in the north and south, he was dismissed from office.
The six kings shook their heads: "It's up to them."
Seeing this, Guiliang sighed in his heart. The emperor seemed to be out of nowhere and was completely disappointed. But as a result, the bannerman himself was in chaos. Prince Rui Renshou had already spoken and died in Beijing. He even talked privately that the Aisin Jueluo clan and Jingxiang's lineage are prosperous now. As long as the emperor abdicates, he will still be the country of Manchuria. Isn't this a waste of money?
Viscount Bryn, who was standing on the other side of the Six Kings, took off his hat and said, "Please rest assured that even if you cannot defend outside the pass, our country will protect the safety of His Majesty. His Majesty can go to Rovsk or Magadan to establish a government. Our country will do its best to help His Majesty restore the country."
The Six Kings glanced at him, turned around and went to the outsider. The eunuch beside him immediately shouted: "Your Majesty!"
Viscount Blin smiled bitterly, knowing that the Chinese emperor had a bad impression of him, but he could just listen to his advice. If the Chinese emperor refused to go outside the pass, he could only kidnap by force.
All the ministers hurriedly followed the Six Kings, outside the Taihe Gate, and the chariots and horses stopped for a long time.
Ye Zhao rode his horse and walked on the official road to Beijing.
A row of soldiers in leggings and gray uniforms marched quickly with rifles on their backs and passed by Ye Zhao's convoy. Behind, loud military songs resounded through the fields, "Huazhou has always been at the top of Kunlun, the rivers and lakes are vast and the mountains are endless, Xunhua has donated to open Yaotian, billions of years! The sky is protected by the empire, the sky is high, and the sea is surging!"
Another song is: "Now I meet the Lord of Holy De, Linlang has increased its reputation ten times. I will ride a lion across Kunlun and fly to the Pacific Ocean! Who is with me, wielding a sword and wielding a sword! Is it a great national! Who is with me, advocating for peace and prosperity!"
The singing was loud and extremely exciting, and Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel excited when he heard it.
But the second song is obviously a myth. There is no way. Not only is the military song deified, but the newspaper is also creating momentum, describing the Regent as the saint of all races from heaven, and he is preparing for Ye Zhao to change the national system.
Relying on simplicity, Ye Zhao hurriedly passed by his convoy without knowing that the Regent was next to the team.
A fast horse came in front of him, and when he arrived at the convoy, he ordered the soldiers to turn over and roll off the horse, took two quick steps, came to the front of the cavalry, and bowed to report to the military situation.
The front of the horse team was a commander. After a moment of saying that, he turned his horse's head and rushed to report to the Regent.
However, the Six Kings abandoned Beijing and fled, and there was already a mess in the capital.
Now the Matchmaker did not eagerly break through Baoding Prefecture, but sent two infantry regiments to attack Zhangjiakou and Chengde Prefecture, just to gather and encircle the six kings and trap the six kings in the capital, but he did not expect that he would see the opportunity early. Now the situation of joining is not yet achieved, and he has already fled from the capital.
The Qing emperor did not have the character of the emperor guarding the country and the king died in the country. The six kings escaped as Ye Zhao expected.
Thinking about his grudges and grudges with the Six Kings, Ye Zhao couldn't help but shake his head, as if he was dating him. When he was very young, he had just come to this world and saw the legendary Japanese devil Six, and he was a little excited. He talked to him for a few more words, but he forgot what he talked about. Over the years, he had gradually become a mortal enemy.
Military reports came one by one, the six kings fled, and the flag soldiers who were stubbornly resisting in Zhili, the new army and the green camp collapsed across the board, and the new army stationed in the Xianghe area ahead had raised the white flag from the bunkers.
The defenders in the Guanting area of Yongding River surrendered, and the defenders in the Jingang Bridge of the North Canal collapsed.
Listening to the military newspapers, Ye Zhao remained silent.
...
In September 1862, the troops of Su Hongniang, the Pingyuan army, came to the city of Beijing. Prince Rui Renshou, Minister of Military Affairs Du Han and other powerful ministers led the soldiers and civilians of the whole city out of the city to surrender.
Two days later, the Southern Regent entered Beijing City with a ceremonial guard. On the same day, Emperor Tongzhi of Jinling announced his abdication and the abdicated emperor was located in the Regent Aisin Gioro Jingxiang.
The capital Prince Zheng’s mansion became Ye Zhao’s temporary palace.
In the magnificent Silver Palace, Ye Zhao was smiling and talking to others. It was the couple of sister Shuzhen and brother-in-law Chongqi.
In a flash, I haven't seen my sister for nearly ten years. Looking at Shuzhen's pink and delicate young woman's charm, I could still find traces of her former tender and cute round face, Ye Zhao sighed: "Sister, do you miss me?" When her sister was not married, she followed Ye Zhao as a slug all day long. Ye Zhao also took her to fight crickets. For this, her sister was beaten by the prince, but instead took her out to go crazy Ye Zhao, the prince didn't blame her. But Shuzhen admired this brother the most. When she was at home, she also liked to hear her brother calling her and holding her pigtails to play.
At this time, Shuzhen's eyes turned red and she said, "Emperor..."
Ye Zhao waved his hand: "Don't shout like that."
Chongqi hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor..., why don't your highness just submit the memorial?"
When the young prince abdicated, Ye Zhao wrote a memorial to persuade him to take back his fate. One way to do this is to go through the formalities. Another thing is that the capital was settled, and everything was not settled. The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace Gardens will be busy for a while, let alone preparing for the throne ceremony. This will take time.
Moreover, the current military-controlled curfew in the capital is in panic, and it also takes time to maintain stability. At the same time, it eliminates the enemy stubbornness in the city. It is indispensable to think that the six kings in the city will stay behind to assassinate themselves.
Listening to Chongqi's words, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You, I don't mean that. I still like to hear Shuzhen call me brother. The emperor calls me, and the family affection is gone a little bit."
"Brother..." Shuzhen began to wipe her tears.
Ye Zhao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Just be safe, I have been wronged by you these days." Shuzhen had been hiding in the countryside for several months, and was frightened every day, and she lost weight.
Chongqi has been working hard to help the Northern Kingdom, and was loved by the Six Kings back then. However, when the war between the North and the South was in a tight position, no one could tell what would happen in the future. Chongqi secretly sent Shuzhen to the countryside to hide.
"Let's go and see my second uncle." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
Shuzhen wiped her tears with a handkerchief and nodded gently. She really didn't expect her brother to be the emperor, but looking at the tightly armored guards in the mansion, she had to know that her brother was no longer the same as before.
In the Beijing circle, the image of my brother changed three times a day. At first, he was called cruel and ruthless, disobedient and rebellious, and later he was deceived and treacherous and powerful officials. Recently, the Beijing aristocratic circle has become much more cautious when talking about his brother. Some of the noble ladies who used to criticize his brother changed their words. When they first thought about it carefully, King Qian was wise and resolute, no less than the Holy Ancestor.
No matter what they said, Shuzhen knew that the nobles in the capital were afraid of their brother and were afraid of death. But is it really that scary to brother?
"My sister, we have so many toys now. Let's go back and teach you how to shoot the target! It's not good, it's not good to fight, kill, by the way, there is a kind of phone in the south, you can see that the one next to the Forbidden City will not move, and the phone will be safe in the future." When walking out, Ye Zhao thought hard.
It seemed as if I saw my brother who often invented gadgets to make me happy. Shuzhen's nose was sour and nodded slightly.
Walking behind Ye Zhao and Shuzhen, Chongqi felt a little nervous. He had been serving the Six Kings and even obstructed Shuzhen from writing letters to the South. Now that the South is victorious and the North is defeated, it is obvious that the Regent will unify the world, but he doesn't know how the Regent or the New Emperor will deal with him in the future.
You should know that although Du Han and others left the city to surrender, they were also thrown into prison. There were countless powerful people arrested at the same time. According to officials of the Southern Dynasties, surrender was indeed lenient, but because these people helped the evildoer, they all committed treason, war crimes, etc., and the Southern Dynasties needed to establish a special committee to convict them one by one.
Although some people regret surrendering if they knew that they would be better than to follow the Six Kings to escape, but now that things have come to this point, what's the use of regret? What's more, even if they don't surrender, Nanzhao Ma will attack fiercely, and within half a day, Beijing City will be destroyed.
The long streets of the capital were empty everywhere, and only the soldiers patrolling the southern country were seen, and there were almost no pedestrians. The bustling capital seemed to have become a dead city.
What Shuzhen did not expect was that she was turned away in her second uncle's mansion. The mansion replied that the master was ill in bed and no one saw him.
Looking at the eyes of my brother's servant, Shuzhen was shocked. She was really afraid that they would shoot the loyal old servant to death, but her brother just smiled and said, "Go back home."
Shuzhen was relieved that her brother was the one she knew.

Tomorrow, there is a happy Lantern Festival. After the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually fades. I wish everyone a better life.
Originally, I wanted to write more things to say today, which was a relatively exciting moment. Who knew I was so excited that I got up to write after sleeping for four hours, but I found that I was dizzy and my writing speed was very slow, so I fainted.
How long has it been written? I just completed the guaranteed task and I went to bed. I won’t update tomorrow morning. I will be able to post it together until the evening.
Chapter completed!
