Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 135

As the guerrilla general of the [-]th Regiment Battalion, Fan Yun was known to everyone as the queen's confidant. As long as he made a little contribution, Fan Yun would be promoted, and he might even become a general in command of the [-]th Regiment Battalion.

So every day, Fan Yun's family always receives a lot of gifts and invitations, but he has never changed. He still lives in the old ancestral house. As for the gifts and invitations, he also accepts them one by one. But never saw any response.

Fan Yun wore a silk underwear next to his body, and then put on a chain mail coat. Then he put on the cotton armor, checked the polished embroidered spring knife, and after finishing everything, he walked out slowly. He knew today There is bound to be a bloody battle, and it is unknown who will rush to the queen's gun.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the city gate, and a long string of thin-skinned coffins were pulled into the city one by one, but the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to stop them, because the person sitting on the coffins was usually a high-ranking official.

"What are they going to do? In ancient times, Kou Zhun pulled the coffin to see him. Could it be that they also want to learn that good look."

"Hmph! It's just a mere imitation. It's just making people laugh. I've read the sage's book in vain."

"What do you know, these big officials sing and act for us, doesn't that just make us happy?"

Outside the palace gate, a man with his upper body naked pulled the coffin with great effort and walked towards the palace gate. The rope had sunk into the flesh, but he didn't realize it. On this bitterly cold day, his old bones were not only Instead of trembling, he stood upright, which was awe-inspiring.

The big Han general guarding the gate of the palace looked at it, and a few traces of unbearable color flashed in his eyes.

The beautiful beard and beard on his chin was already wet with sweat, and he let go of the coffin on his shoulders, and walked towards the palace gate step by step, his steps were as steady as a mountain, and he walked step by step, unwavering.

The big Han general outside the palace gate stretched out his hand to stop him, but suddenly he heard the sound of the bell in the palace, and saw a man come out, sighed faintly, dragged off his clothes and put them on the old man, and said softly: "Mr. Huang, be careful when you go in. Don't offend the empress."

"Thank you!" Huang Daozhou arched his hands and smiled slightly. At this time, the cold wind was blowing, and it was extremely biting. He tightened the clothes on his shoulders and walked slowly into the hall.

There is a white curtain in the palace, and there is a sense of desolation and sorrow everywhere. Walking into the palace, it is almost kneeling forward step by step, crossing the Jinshui Bridge, and then passing the Gate of Supreme Harmony... to the palace Outside, he sang loudly: "Your Majesty! Open your eyes and see! The scholars and commoners are eccentric, bandits are everywhere, the world is in turmoil, no longer happy life, the world is full of evil spirits, the treacherous ministers of the court are misleading the country, and Ming Dynasty is about to perish..."

"Your Majesty, why didn't you listen to the minister's words, quit the villain, and become a wise man..."

Huang Daozhou cried loudly outside the hall, snot and tears flowed together, the sound shook the rubble, and the low-pitched sadness suddenly became high-pitched, becoming a little frightening.

But no matter how much he wailed, there was no movement in the hall, and the guards standing on both sides outside the hall were also silent, even the little eunuchs who came in and out were looking ahead and not looking at him.

Zodiac Zhou's old bones couldn't stand such a toss, although he persisted for less than half an hour, the pain and cold were unbearable, he struggled to hold on, but he could only cry out in vain, rolled his eyes, and passed out.

At this time, a group of officials entered the palace one after another. Looking at Huang Daozhou who was unconscious on the ground, their hearts were slightly awe-inspiring, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts, but they had already reached this point. .

The hearts became more and more determined, and everyone poured into the hall, only to see the queen in plain clothes, wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling and sitting in front of the emperor's coffin. Young, because he is assisted by virtuous people and chooses his good teacher, so my minister recommends Mr. Zhisheng..."

"Is this your method?" Empress Zhou's beautiful eyes were swollen like peach pits from crying, and she looked at the ministers with shining eyes, not fierce but concealing the intention of killing with swords and soldiers.Slightly closing his eyes, his eyes are clear, and his voice is very thin, but there is no doubt about it: "The prince is young, and the emperor Daxing has just left, so it is inevitable that he will be sad, and let him leave the mother's side again, fearing a big change in his heart, it is by no means the best of the world. blessing."

Another official stood up, ignoring everyone's eyes, and spoke fiercely: "Queen, the heir emperor is the lord of the world. If you don't take on the heavy responsibility of the world, just indulge in indulgence and play, raise it in the deep palace, and be good at makeup, what will happen to you?" Only let the emperor become arrogant, as the ancients said, industry is good at diligence and playfulness, action is accomplished by thinking and destroyed by following, if you don’t learn at this time, you will wait when.”

"Presumptuous!" Finally couldn't help it?The queen sneered in her heart, gave a coquettish shout, and stood up suddenly, her pretty face flushed with anger, and said coldly: "Destroying the way of heaven and destroying human desires, this is what the ancient sages and sages taught you. something?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials suddenly changed their colors.

This statement comes from "Book of Rites·Le Ji", which says: "Those who transform human beings into things destroy the principles of nature and the desires of the poor. It was later quoted by Zhu Xi as one of the most important viewpoints in Neo-Confucianism, which is to preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires.

The queen's intentions are clearly revealed, but a scholar who runs counter to the principles of a sage, if this reputation is really confirmed, it will be more uncomfortable than killing them.You must know that everything about them, their fame, fortune, status and wealth, is closely related to this, and it is not just about losing their reputation.

"Why bother to talk to her, temptress, let me ask you if there is the spirit body of Emperor Daxing in this coffin." Since they were so embarrassing, these officials did not pay attention to the queen at all, and one of them was even more incomparable. Presumptuous, just to win a glory.

"Haha! Good! You really are like that." Empress Zhou looked crazy, took off the wooden hairpin on top of her head, held it in her hand, suddenly jumped down, and slammed into the person who spoke first, cursing angrily: "Wait The salary of eating the king, the worry of not being loyal to the king, deceiving the world and stealing the name, but full of righteousness, the emperor Daxing has entered the coffin, but you want to open the coffin, what is the intention, a group of wolf-hearted people."

Everyone did not expect that Queen Zhou, who is usually gentle and kind, would have such a violent side, that she would dare to kill someone face to face.

At this time, looking at Queen Zhou with disheveled hair and a sneer, and looking at the wailing official who was stabbed by the wooden hairpin, the two sides decided to judge.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Empress Zhou reprimanded with a fierce look: "I can't go with the emperor, but if anyone wants to insult His Majesty, I will definitely be with him forever."

Everyone's faces were ugly, and they couldn't move forward or retreat.

But this time they gambled everything, even though facing a woman, and this woman is about to become the queen mother, they can no longer regret it at this time, and have to move forward, even if it is to tear their face, the official said sharply: "Bitch, You are causing trouble in the harem, and now you are killing people in the main hall, it seems that she has gone crazy, everyone will follow me and take this crazy woman down."

Now that they have embarked on this path, they are aware of the consequences of doing so, but in order to regain their rights, some people have to sacrifice, and they have made this sacrifice well.

The crowd rushed forward, since they carried the coffin to see them, they would either be smashed to pieces, or ascend to heaven in one step.

Empress Zhou shouted sharply: "Come here! Take them down."

Da da!Da da!Following Queen Zhou's order, there was the sound of orderly footsteps, and teams of Jinyi guards entered the hall with their knives in hand. Without a word, the knives and their scabbards rained down like raindrops, causing all the officials to run away with their heads in their hands.

"Crazy! Crazy!" Many people shouted, and the whole hall was in chaos.

With a bang, someone in the chaos rushed to the coffin, and the coffin weighing a thousand catties fell to the ground with a bang, and the gold bricks shattered.

Everyone looked at the coffin with dull eyes.
