Chapter seven hundred and twenty fourth civil affliction
Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan did not object to Zhu Cixuan's rebellion. In her opinion, Zhu Cixuan's child was much better than his father Chongzhen. However, Zhu Cixuan was too young and could be considered a hero.
However, Emperor Chongzhen, a confused man, was actually bewitched by a treacherous minister. The guy who was so funny actually wanted to let Zhu Ciyang return to Beijing.
If Zhu Cixuan really brought troops back to Beijing at this time, it would have really harmed the Ming Dynasty. Since this is the case, it would be better to just turn the rebellion.
Queen Zhou has many difficulties, one side is her own son and the other side is her husband. The palms and backs of her hands are flesh, and letting her make a choice is equivalent to taking her life.
When facing major events, Empress Zhou was obviously not as good as Zhang Yan. She could only cry, and Empress Zhou sighed helplessly: "Stop crying, I gave Ci Yang a book to me. As for how to make a decision, it depends on the child's own."
That's right, the decision is still in Zhu Cilang's own hands. Whether he is filial or filial depends on his own meaning.
Zhu Cixuan received an imperial edict from his father, Emperor Chongzhen, and asked him to return to Beijing immediately. He was completely out of his mind because he was not sure whether there was a crisis in Liaodong.
If there is really a crisis in Liaodong, the 12th Regiment Battalion must decisively give up Sichuan and return to the capital without stopping to help. Otherwise, waiting for Huangtai-Keda to enter the pass will cause another catastrophe for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cilang was very confused. He really couldn't understand why the Liaodong defense line collapsed. What did Hong Chengchou do for? Huang Taiji had been beaten by himself and could not say that he was seriously injured in his vitality, but he would never dare to attack easily.
Even if Hong Chengchou and the others are not good, there will be problems with the Jinzhou defense line. But other cities cannot do it anymore.
Zhu Cixuan found military advisor Song Xiance, and Song Xiance was helpless because he really didn't understand the situation in Liaodong and could not make a correct judgment.
Helplessly, Zhu Cixuan decided to return to Beijing. On the one hand, he sent out postmen first and rushed to Liaodong to spy on the situation at 800 miles. At the fastest, it would probably take more than three months later. On the other hand, he ordered the 12th Regiment Battalion to deport the camp and return to Beijing. He garrison the capital and go to the capital to see the situation before talking about it.
Just when Zhu Cixuan decided to order the troops to return to Beijing, the secret letter from Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan finally arrived.
The moment Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to make Zhu Cilang return to the capital, it was destined to have a stir in the capital. After Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan learned the news, she was naturally shocked. She also sent a maid to dissuade him, but Emperor Chongzhen avoided him at all.
Empress Yian Bingxue was smart and soon understood Chongzhen's intentions. Chongzhen really became suspicious of his son, and he was going to be confused.
Empress Yi'an was calm and decisive in his work, and soon decided to send a secret letter. As the first emperor and empress, he ordered the postmen at the post station to be sent to the 12th Regiment Camp of Huguang.
Therefore, shortly after Zhu Cilang received the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Yi'an's secret letter also arrived.
When Zhu Cilang unveiled his secret letter, everything suddenly became enlightened. It turned out that the father was suspicious of himself.
Sadness, great sadness, disappointment, accompanied by great disappointment. Zhu Cilang never expected that in the face of imperial power, the father-son family relationship would be so vulnerable.
It would be fine if my father suspected that he was, but wouldn't he think about the Ming court? But today he has become a little bit, but Emperor Chongzhen still thinks about the struggle of the government in his mind.
Zhu Cilang really wanted to catch his father by his side and let him see with his own eyes how miserable the innocent people along the way were.
He hid in the deep palace and did not experience the sufferings of the people in his heart. Zhu Cilang had seen dead people, boundless dead people, and also saw skeleton bones, not dead people's bones. But just bones wrapped in a layer of skin.
Moreover, he is still a living person. Because of his long hunger, this person has only the instinct of an animal. His muscles are almost all vulgar, and only a shriveled skeleton is left. Without support, this person can no longer stand and can only crawl on the ground like a dog.
The desire to survive has greatly exerted the limits of human beings, and this person has not died. However, he is no different from being dead.
Zhu Cilang gave him a bowl of porridge, but he had no sadness and expressions. He was as slow as a sloth, lowering his head with difficulty and licking the bowl of porridge.
He did not swallow like a wolf or a tiger, but his body's functions had already made him unable to swallow. He ate very slowly, like a not-so-hungry dog, licking the water casually.
He ate very slowly and carefully. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhu Cilang could not have imagined that the man with only one skeleton would have been able to hold on until now. Even if he looked up, he seemed so difficult.
This man's family was starved to death in the famine. He used his last bit of strength to bury his family. No one could imagine what kind of mood he was in burying his family with his own hands. His wife and two children.
It's not for the sake of being buried, but just because he doesn't want his wife and children to be exposed to the wilderness and become food for wild dogs and even other hungry people of the same kind.
After doing all this, he almost exhausted all his strength. The rest of his life was just waiting for death. His physical functions played a powerful role, and driven by his desire to survive, he actually persisted until now.
When he finished the bowl of porridge with difficulty, he was in front of Zhu Cixuan, after finishing the bowl of porridge at an extremely slow speed, the soldiers around Zhu Cixuan were all moved.
At this time, Zhu Cilang really wanted to let his father, Emperor Chongzhen, come and see it in person. Let the high-sounding officials of the civil and military in the dynasty see what kind of world the Ming Dynasty under their rule was.
His subordinates wanted to give this man porridge, but Zhu Cilang stopped him. He knew that people who had been hungry for a long time would die if they ate too much.
After eating the bowl of porridge in front of him, this man still had no expression. It was not until a while that he had difficulty and raised his head in an extremely slow posture.
The moment Zhu Cixuan saw his face, he almost exclaimed. This was almost a skeleton, with a dark eye socket in its deep sleep, and the existence of the eyes could hardly be seen. If it weren't for the occasional whites of his eyes, it would definitely remind people of zombies.
This person just looked up his head hard and stared at Zhu Cilang. A normal person dressed neatly and well-supplied, and a hungry man with only a skeleton left. The two looked at each other in this way.
His eyes were still dead, just like the eyes of all those dead people who died with their eyes open. This person's eyes did not have the slightest human spirit.
Then, he died.
