Xinshun 1730

chapter 17

The tall walls of the Forbidden City are the last barrier of imperial power.

But now, the dark thing floating in the air has actually crossed the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Li Gan was startled, and then called the guards and eunuchs around him.

"Go to Xicheng Bingma Division quickly and find out what it is. Go to Haierjun and take Haierjun to Xicheng to check!"

The Boyer Army is the emperor's pro-army, and it was established when Dashun moved around in the late Ming Dynasty, and most of them were the children of veterans who died in battle.

When Li Laiheng succeeded to the throne, it was by relying on the boy army in his hand that he stabilized the situation and killed those honorable ministers.

Since Dashun conquered Beijing, this boy army has been retained, and the sons of soldiers who died in battles from various places were selected to fill it as the emperor's own army.

At the same time, because the reputation of the Jinyiwei of the former dynasty was really bad, but it was really necessary to do without, this boy army also had some functions of the Jinyiwei of the former dynasty.

After the decree was made, the eunuch and the guards around him rushed to do it.

However, Li Gan approached the foreigner's neck tree calmly, asked someone to fetch the binoculars presented by Bai Mingyuan, and stopped to watch.

A few miles away, I can't see the details, but I can still see that there seem to be two people on it.

Now that he saw clearly that it was a human instead of a ghost, Li Gan was not worried.

I see the emperor for others, since I am a human being, what else is there to worry about?
But how can people fly to the sky?Could it be that there are really immortals ascending in this world?

The old crooked-neck tree was providing shade, and Li Gan looked at it with gusto.

Since it was the emperor's decree, the Hai'er Army and Xicheng Bingmasi moved quickly, and soon in Li Gan's binoculars, that strange flying object floated towards the northwest.

Not long after, a eunuch came to report panting.

"Report to Your Majesty. That is Liu Yu, the third son of Duke Yi, who was made by Zhuge Kongming's Kongming Lantern, which can carry people to fly into the sky."

"He is on the Kongming Lantern, and Tian Ping, the second son of the Duke of Qi, is also on it. The rest of the people are watching from below. There are the sons of the Duke of Xiang, the son of the British, the son of the Duke of Jing, the son of the Marquis of Liaoyang..."

"It is said that Liu Yu was reading the history books of the country these days, and saw the danger of Taizong's attack on Jingzhou in the past, so he couldn't help thinking about it, so he made this thing. He said that if there was this thing back then, he could have a glimpse of Jingzhou For the defense of the city, it will be easier for Taizong to attack Jingzhou. The traitorous general Zheng Siwei has already hanged his head. Zehou, Cihou, Ruhou and others don't have to be wounded in the army. Luck Dehun also It's easier to kill..."

The Battle of Jingzhou was a turning point in the late Ming Dynasty.The traitor Zheng Siwei surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng was killed in Jiugong Mountain, Li Guo, who was transferred to Jingxiang in Shaanxi, did not integrate the reputation of the remaining tribes, the Longwu Dynasty recruited in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and He Tengjiao was a waste of a flank that let go of the rest of the Dashun tribe...

The army stationed at the foot of Jingzhou City has been unable to attack for a long time. Luck Dehun led the elite of the Eight Banners to help, and the rest of Dashun was in danger.

If it weren't for Li Guo's unforeseen prophecy, besieging the city to fight for aid, setting up an ambush and beheading Luck Dehun, it can be said that Dashun would have to commit himself to Nanming as the loyal camp, and eventually be trapped to death in Kuidongshan.

After the death of Luck Dehun, and because of Li Zicheng's death in Jiugong Mountain, Dorgon boldly issued an order to shave his hair. The situation in Jingzhou changed greatly after World War I.

Xie Qian and Yuyuan Army revolted in Shandong; Sun Shoufa and other ministries in Shaanxi besieged Xi'an;

In fact, everyone in the world knows that even though the country's dynasty is called Dashun, it can really be called Xinshun.

Even if Jiushun won a piece of stone, Li Zicheng's lineage would be the emperor; and Xinshun's battle for the establishment of the country should be the battle of Jingzhou. Although Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, he is four years older than Li Zicheng, and it is impossible to take turns He got his adopted son Li Laiheng to inherit the throne.

Speaking of the battle of Xinshun and the founding of the country, next to it is the neck tree of foreigners who hanged Chongzhen.

Besides, Li Gan was only slightly taken aback.

Since you know that these are some honorable children playing around, they are human beings and not ghosts, and you have such righteous words, you don't have to worry about it.

As a human being, he must be under the control of the emperor, and he cannot overthrow the sky.

It was just the name that surprised Li Gan.

He has heard Liu Yu's name a lot in the past few days. The "A Brief Examination of the Western Countries" sent by Duke Qi and the incident at Yongning Temple are all related to this person.

He is still stunned, the key is not here, but there.

"You mean...the one who takes the lead belongs to Duke Yi?"

The eunuch next to him knew what the emperor was thinking, so he knew what it meant when he said this.

As an eunuch, you must know how to laugh, so he smiled and said: "Long live, this old slave heard correctly, it belongs to Duke Yi's house. This is really...a monkey jumped out of the mud."

Li Gan also laughed out loud when he heard this.

I thought, who in the court doesn't know?That Duke of Yi, Liu Sheng, belonged to the bastard, he shrank his head and wished he could stay in his shell all the time, he was afraid of taking on some things, so he was so cautious that he shrank his head.

The old bastard can actually give birth to a little crab that runs amok?
He's so courageous, isn't he afraid that the censor will commit the crime of spying on the forbidden palace?
Is this kid really the shy old bastard of Duke Yi?

This is really strange, and it really is a monkey jumping out of the mud tire, and the old bastard gave birth to a crab.

Suppressing his laughter, he felt much better about being upset by the missionaries before.

You are the son of heaven, but you can't speak out the complaints that you think in your heart.

I took out the binoculars and looked at it for a few more times. The thing was drifting with the wind, heading northwest, and gradually getting farther away.

Putting down the binoculars, Li Gan was in the mood to joke, and said with a smile: "If I don't speak today, the families of Duke Yi and Duke Qi will be too frightened to eat, and they must be restless."

"Order to ask Xicheng soldiers and horses to come forward to maintain order in the city, and then send those dolls over and tell them to wait outside the Meridian Gate. You also send a few people to each house as soon as possible. Little baby, this is to frighten their father's courage."

The eunuch took the order and left, Li Gan looked back at the missionaries again, his face became colder, and he said a word.

"You can think carefully about what I said, and reflect more. Dai Shilang, I am waiting for your news. I hope you will come back, and you will still be my Dashun's servant!"

Putting this sentence aside, I no longer care about these missionaries, and the eunuchs will lead them away.

…………

By the Shichahai, the dozen or so honored sons who were tricked by Liu Yuzheng into serving as human shields turned pale with fright, and the officers of the Haier Army who led the team were also from the circle, so they had no idea that the emperor was smiling in Jingshan.

Mantou and the few strong men hired with money lay on the ground and dared not speak. The officer of the Boyer Army kicked Mantou's ass and cursed: "Why don't you go back and tell the Duke? No one can afford it!"

This is already a release, and in the future, the opposite party will inevitably give a thank you gift of a thousand taels of silver.Mantou hurriedly got up, rode on the horse next to him, and ran home in a hurry.

When he arrived at the door, he scrambled and crawled to the outer study room. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and cried, "Duke, Duke! Something bad happened!"

Liu Sheng was composing poems with a few literati, when he saw the steamed bun crawling in, he was startled.The family education is strict, if there is no serious matter, how can these servants be so presumptuous?

"Third Master... something happened to Third Master."

After weeping and howling for a few words, those cleaners also had their eyesight and left one after another.When Liu Sheng heard that it was his third child, his heart skipped a beat and he asked questions repeatedly.

"The third master imitated the Kongming Lantern and made a big Kongming Lantern, which can fly people to the sky. He played with Qi Guogong and Xiang Guogong's sons at Shicha Beach, and then flew to the sky. Not long after this flight, the boy army came Well, it is said that the palace has been alarmed, and the decree of Long Live came to arrest..."

"what?"

Liu Sheng almost didn't come up in one breath, and stomped his foot hard.

I am so careful and cautious that I am afraid that something will happen to me.This is great, raising a son by himself, but he did such a great thing that even the palace was alarmed?

Is this any good?

Besides, from what Mantou said, that thing is capable of flying, and it dares to play at Shicha Beach, which is only a hundred steps away from the Forbidden Palace.
Spy on the forbidden palace?Who can afford this responsibility?
Mantou also knew something big happened, and was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. Liu Sheng shouted repeatedly: "Come here! Come here!"

"Tie up this bastard, throw it into the stable and lock it up! Don't let anyone in the third room go, tie them all up!"

"Quickly prepare the chariots and horses. I'm going to the palace to plead guilty. Go ask the people in the third child's house, who knows about this matter, ask them out, and beat them all to death when they come back!"

After giving the order repeatedly, several strong men rushed up and dragged away the mantou who was too frightened to move.

If he was convicted of "peeping into the forbidden palace", even if he could escape, he would not be able to keep the third child.Throw what should be thrown away, what should be discarded, and the truth is to keep the honorable family.

At that time, those servants and girls in the third room will be punished and killed if they know it, and thrown outside if they don't know it. They must not stay.

As long as it is confirmed that this matter was hidden from him, there is room for return.

While panicking, I heard another person running outside saying: "Duke, a father-in-law has come to the palace."

Liu Sheng only felt that his breath was stuck in his heart, his hands trembled a little, and he said hastily: "Hurry up, pay tribute, burn incense..."

But the servant said: "The father-in-law said that he just passed on a word, and asked the Duke to go over quickly."

Opening the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the eunuch outside was welcomed in, and while leading him to the main hall, the eunuch only said: "His Majesty's decree."

Liu Sheng quickly knelt down on the ground, waited for a long time, and then heard the eunuch hold back a strange sentence.

"Duke Yi can read "Three Kingdoms", Jian Yong persuaded Emperor Zhaolie to abstain from alcohol."

After waiting for a long time, there were no more words.

Liu Sheng only felt that it was dark in front of his eyes, and the sweat that had been suffocating on his body rolled out all of a sudden, and his clothes were soaked in an instant.His legs were also a little soft, and he had never been so splashed with blood on the battlefield in the past, and it took a long time to slow down.

Since he likes to read biographies of heroes, he has also read The Three Kingdoms. This story is easy to understand.

Liu Bei banned alcohol and arrested anyone who had drinking utensils at home.Jian Yong casually pointed to a pair of people on the road and said that these two people are going to commit some adultery, so arrest them quickly.Liu Bei asked how do you know?Jian Yong said, this man has tools.

With a long sigh of relief, Liu Sheng knew it was all right.What he is most afraid of is that the imperial censor will take the opportunity to say "peep into the forbidden palace".Everything else is a trivial matter, this can't be explained clearly.

Since the emperor asked the eunuch to pass such a strange sentence, Liu Sheng finally felt relieved.After thanking him, he stood up, and the servant next to him hurriedly handed over the gold.

"Elder-in-law is working hard. Buy some tea to moisten your throat."

Two heavy golden scorpions fell into his hands, which was a big deal, not to mention buying tea, even buying a small teahouse would be no problem.

The eunuch also knew his identity, so it was impossible for him to put on airs in front of Duke Yi, besides, he had seen the emperor's expression in Jingshan before, so I am afraid that this matter is not only innocent, but also a good thing.

That being the case, he said, "Duke, you can rest assured."

Liu Sheng wiped off his sweat and asked, "Where is the dog?"

"Your Majesty is asking people to look for it, and go to the Meridian Gate to wait with the Dukes of Qi and Xiangguo. His Majesty also praised that if there is such a thing, if you attack the city in the future, you can see the details of the city. "

In a word, Liu Sheng's heart was completely relieved, but there were more doubts in his heart.

He is just cautious, but he is scheming. Some things are easy to understand, but today's matter can't be understood no matter how much he thinks about it.

It's true that the third child can't win the title, but the third child's academic performance in the Wude Palace is rated as high, and he is the most likely to be in the upper class among the children of Jingzhong Xungui.

Even if you can't win the title, you can enter the upper house, and the future is boundless if you distribute it in the future.If you mix better, it may not be worse.

As far as the third child's brain is concerned, can he not know that Shichahai is only a hundred steps away from the Forbidden Palace?

Others don't know, but since he made it, he knows that it can really fly.Could it be that you don't know that flying is higher than the Hall of Supreme Harmony?

What is he testing?
I really can't figure it out, can't figure it out.

What is it worth his life to test with the wealth and status of his parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and even the Duke's family?
