Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 6

It is said that Manchukuo looked down on the Central Plains, and those who relied on their foundations were strong and cavalry, like autumn geese and spring swallows, who did not invade and come every year. I don’t know how many frontier fortresses were taken away, and how many filial sons and loyal ministers were killed.In April of the ninth year of Chongzhen, he conquered Chahar in the west, conquered all the tribes of Mongolia, and obtained the imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty.So Emperor Taizong called himself Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng, changed the name of the country to Daqing, and changed the name of the year to Chongde.Generally, palaces and palaces are built, and temples and temples are built.There is also that Chinese talented man, loyal minister Fan Wencheng, Mr. Fan, like a friend of poetry, recited seven characters, twisted off a few whiskers, and came up with several palace names. The main hall is called Chongzheng Palace, Taitung The tower is called Xiangfeng Tower, the tower in Taixi is called Feifeng Pavilion, the main palace behind is called Qingning Palace, and the main hall in front is called Dugong Hall.After the completion of the palace, Emperor Taizong took many Baylor ministers with red crowns and flower feathers, and Xu Bu admired them.Seeing the grand and magnificent building, I was very happy in my heart, so I said to everyone: "We Manchurians are all survivors of the Great Jin family. Think of the former Jin Taizu and Jin Taizong, with detailed laws, serious politics, and how powerful the country is! At the time of Wan Yanliang, he was infected with the bad habits of the Han people, drinking and playing with girls, blindly seeking comfort. If Sejong hadn't rectified it, the Dajin Dynasty would have disappeared early. Later, Aizong lost the country, after all, it was because of the two words of wine and sex. We can see To be a king, the two words of wine and sex are definitely not to be delayed."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to the crowd and said, "Listen to me, are you wrong?"

Everyone didn't pay much attention, Dorgon, Prince Ruizhong, was sick in his heart, and when he was bored, his cheeks turned red, he lowered his head and said nothing.

As the old saying goes, if there is talk, it will be long, and if there is nothing, it will be short.After Manchuria changed its name to Daqing, it made an inch of progress, the wind was dry and angry, and the clouds were flying, and the iron cavalry rode straight in.Chongzhen entered the bandits in July of the ninth year and returned to the east in August; entered the bandits in September of the 11th year, and began to leave Qingshankou in March next year.Hu dust rushes to the ground, exalting the smell of the desert; strengthening the skin and arrogant sky, dispelling the frost and hail of the southern branches.It is also a good opportunity. At this time in the Central Plains, there is a peasant uprising. Li Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong and other 72 13nd Battalions rushed from east to west and ran rampant.Several elders in power were all focused on the peasant uprising, so they took border affairs seriously.Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty took advantage of this opportunity to besiege Jinzhou with all his strength, firing artillery around the city and attacking from all directions.But Zu Dashou, the guard general of Jinzhou, swore to stick to it to the death and was anxious not to let go.Taizong was quite depressed.Suddenly, it was reported: "The Ming Dynasty released Hong Chengchou as the Liaodong economic strategy. Hong Jinglue transferred eight generals including Ma Ke and Wu Sangui. The horse infantry has [-] million troops. They have left Shanhaiguan and rushed to come."

Taizong was shocked and hurriedly gathered the generals for a meeting.Prince Yutong Duoduo said: "It will be of no use to Ming barbarians to rely on him.

I remember that when we captured Lushun, General Huang Zongbing, the defender of Lushun, was also a very powerful barbarian.As for the most stubborn Lu Xiangsheng——Lu Manzi, people in the Central Plains praised him as Jingbangweiguo, what kind of academic articles, and Chongzhen called him a supervisor. The Yang family will play Peking Opera! "

Taizong said: "This Lu Manzi is really amazing. I'm still a little scared when I mention him now. If Mr. Yang Ge and Gao eunuch hadn't opposed him at that time, we might not be so comfortable now. .”

Duoduo said: "That's also the spirit of the Ming Dynasty. There are good people who don't use it, and those who use it are bad people."

Taizong said: "Emperor of the Central Plains, if you want a sage, how can we get cheap. That is, as in the previous year, we marched in three ways, attacking Yizhou through Laishui, attacking Xiongxian through Xincheng, and attacking Ansu through Dingxing. Jifu There are 48 cities, all of which were conquered by us, and even the capital was shocked. The old Yang Ge and the eunuch Gao were so frightened, they encouraged Chongzhen to ask us for peace. This Chongzhen is really bad, kill them There is no decision at all. It seems to be peace, and it seems to be a war. On the one hand, he asked Mr. Yang Ge to discuss the peace with us, and on the other hand, he ordered Lu Xiang to be promoted to the supervisor and Qin Wang, so that the donkey was not a donkey, and the horse was not a horse. There was no result. .As a master, killing and making decisions are indispensable. If you want to make peace, you need to fight. Only when you make up your mind can your subordinates handle things. Chongzhen is called wise by others. Looking at things, wisdom is limited."

Fan Wencheng said: "It's just like the holy decree. At this time in Chongzhen, if you want to fight, you may be invincible. If you want to make peace, you are afraid of losing face. Things go wrong when you have no ideas."

Taizong clapped his hands and said: "Hehe, when Chongzhen summoned Xiangsheng and asked him about his strategy, Xiangsheng replied, "Order the minister to supervise the teacher, and the minister intends to lead the battle." After hearing these two words, Chongzhen blushed. When Sheng sent troops, Chongzhen repeatedly told him to be cautious. Elder Yang Ge and eunuch Gao were at odds with him. Xiangsheng entered Baoding from Zhuozhou, and sent generals to separate ways. Before the battle was defeated, Elder Yang Ge had already lost his title of Minister In the battle of Julu, he had only 5000 troops, and he was surrounded by us for a day and two nights. He fought until he was exhausted, but he was just struggling. His subordinates asked him to break out of the encirclement and escape, but he refused. Arrows three swords, still clinging to the saber, slaying desperately until he exhausted his strength. Like this kind of good man who is not afraid of death, let alone Han Chinese, we have never seen it in Manchu. Think about it , such a loyal minister who is rare in the world and has been unheard of in ancient and modern times, Chongzhen did not even bestow him with a shirt, is he dim or not? Confused or not?"

Duoduo said: "At that time, Lu Xiang was promoted to the army and was short of salary. He knew that he would die. He went out of the tent in the morning and worshiped in all directions: "I share the grace of the country with the soldiers. I can't die if I suffer alone, and I can't live if I don't suffer." I was so moved that I couldn't lift my head from crying, so I fought to the death, and no one surrendered."

Wen Chengdao: "Gao eunuch is holding Guan Ning's soldiers, only [-] miles away. Xiangsheng sent Master Yang to ask for help. He said goodbye: "The death field is like a death battlefield. If I die to serve the country, I still hate my ambition!" Eunuch Gao, hurry up and dispatch troops, the whole army will not be wiped out."

Taizong said: "There is no need to mention him in the past, but how can Hong Chengchou resist? He and Lu Xiangsheng are as famous as Lu Xiangsheng."

Fan Wencheng said: "The victory or defeat of a military strategist depends entirely on one breath. If the spirit is strong, it will win, and if the spirit is weak, it will be the second best. Since we started the war with the Ming Dynasty, we have won every battle and won every battle. The people of the Ming Dynasty don't need to fight with us, but when they smell our reputation and see our shadow, they will make their hair stand on end and tremble with fright. This is called Take the lead. In my humble opinion, the emperor need not worry about it.

" Taizong was overjoyed, so he didn't take the Ming army to heart.

One day, Meteor Scout Ma Fei reported: "Hong Chengchou's army is only [-] miles away from here, and the front vanguard has reached the boundary of Songshan."

Emperor Taizong sent Duoduo, king of Yu, to stay and attack Jinzhou, and he personally led his cavalry to fight.Da Beilehaoge said: "He Laofu, the emperor, these Nanmans, just leave it to the ministers to handle it."

Taizong said: "What do your children know? Fan Wencheng said: "The victory of a military strategist depends on one breath." I went to supervise the battle in person, and our soldiers are naturally courageous. Ming soldiers saw me, and they were so scared Make him frustrated. How can you replace me?"

After finishing speaking, he ordered the camp to be pulled out, the drums and horns were sounded, and they all marched forward.

It took only half a day to arrive early.Taizong looked over from his horse, and saw that the mountain was steep, with two peaks piercing into the sky, with Songshan Mountain on one side and Xingshan Mountain on the other, with undulating hills and mountains winding endlessly.The trees on the ridge are dense and dark, gloomy and frightening.At the western foot of Songshan Mountain, the flag tent is faint, and it is known that it is the camp of the Ming army.Taizong said: "Let's camp here and block the road so that he won't come over."

Hauge said: "To block the road, you have to go across the mountains for a camp, one side is next to Songshan Mountain, the other side is next to Xingshan Mountain, and you kowtow at the end, forming a long snake."

Taizong said: "Naturally cross the mountains for camp."

The officers in the imperial camp flew on horseback to deliver orders to all the troops, and the camp was completed in an instant.

Emperor Taizong whipped his horses and went on a tour for a week. He was very happy to see that the people were as healthy as tigers, the horses as strong as dragons, the armor was bright, the ranks were pruned, and the mountains were dangerous.

It was night, the stars and the moon were shining, the cool wind was blowing, the flags of the imperial camp, and the posters facing the wind, rustling.Taizong and Fan Wencheng set up an outside account to discuss the matter of defeating the enemy.Hearing the sound of boots suddenly, he turned around and saw that it was Kong Youde who came in a hurry.Taizong asked what to do.Youde stopped, and asked for an answer first: "Return to the master, the slave has arrested a spy."

Taizong said: "Catch the spy? Where is it?"

As he spoke, he stared at his eyes, destined to have a Youde face, and held the black and shiny swallowtail whiskers around his mouth with one hand, listening to Youde's reply.Youde forced him to go, lowered his head and said: "Now in the slave camp, the slave has interrogated once, Hong Chengchou is going to send someone to steal the camp tonight, first ask this person to come and see the way."

Taizong said: "How many people came to steal the camp, did you ever ask?"

You De Lie paused: "This slave also asked clearly. I'm afraid there are 5000 people."

Taizong said: "You are not very careful about the situation!"

Youde said: "The master knows the lesson, the slave will not dare to deceive. If the spy returns to the slave, the slave will have no choice but to return to the master."

Taizong nodded and said, "Go away!

Wait a while, I will come down with my own will. "

Youde agreed to quit.Taizong smiled at Wen Cheng and said, "What do you think?"

Wen Chengdao: "According to my humble opinion, please Da Bei Le lead 8000 troops to the Ming army to break into the camp; Kong Youde and Shang Kexi each led [-] infantry, lying in the woods on the mountainside, inviting the incoming army; Coordinating; Wei Chen followed Fuguogong and Zhenguogong to stick to the camp. Whether it is appropriate or not, I still pray for the Holy Judgment.

Taizong said: "Okay, okay, let's do it according to your method." "

Take Wen Cheng's hand to enter the account, pass it on to the officers in the imperial camp, and immediately pass the decree to each camp.

All the generals followed up with the order, and immediately ordered their troops to mount their horses, and they went away like the wind.Wearing a sword, Emperor Taizong stepped onto the imperial chariot, surrounded by fifty or seventy ministers protecting the chariot, trampling with horseshoes, and ran out of the gate of the camp.Three thousand iron cavalry met the driver in one fell swoop, and before they were ready to set off, the sound of shouting and killing was blown by the wind until they reached the front of the horse.Taizong said: "It's amazing, there is a battle ahead, let's hurry up and meet it."

With a wave of the imperial whip, three thousand cavalry galloped forward chasing the wind.Taking advantage of the moonlight, I saw a group of army horses from Hauge, embroidered flags and posters, rushing to and fro, like a living dragon and a tiger, invincible to all obstacles.When Taizong saw that Hauge was gaining power, he reined in his horse and stopped going to help the battle.At the place where the drums sounded, I suddenly saw two men and horses rushing straight from the mountain path, pulling the flag of the Ming army high. On the flag was written "Wu Sangui, Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Pu, Deputy General of the Ming Dynasty."

Taizong said: "Your ambush army, why don't you come out?"

The words continued, the drums on the mountainside were like thunder, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi led the infantry, leaped out from the forest, their knives and swords were extremely aggressive, how could the Ming army stop them!Taizong smiled and said to the left and right: "Ordinary generals who are not good in the Southern Dynasty will be strong when they come to us, just like Kong and Shang.

You see, is it strange? "

It is said that Wu Sangui and Wang Pu couldn't support them, and they were defeated long ago.

Taizong passed on the decree to pursue.The Eight Banners strongmen, Menghan Jianer, charged forward together, thousands of teams galloped, the momentum, like the flood of Qiantang, rushed the Ming army to pieces, and they didn't retreat until dawn.All the generals went to the imperial camp to repay their merits. Hauge reported: "The Ming army was intercepted by me, and they were killed and scattered, and they were forced into the sea to die. It is insurmountable. From the south of Xingshan to Tashan, there are countless deaths."

Kong and Shang reported: "Wu Sangui and Wang Pu pursued for thirty li, and now they lead the remnant army and fled back to the Central Plains."

Emperor Taizong ordered Fan Wencheng to write down the credits one by one in the record book, and then said: "Hong Chengchou's spirit has been thwarted by us, and now he is fleeing to Songshan City. It is expected that he will not dare to fight, but he will definitely not. You listen Is what I said wrong?"

Wen Cheng said: "Hong Hengjiu can be regarded as a hero, but he really can't do it."

Taizong said: "How is the knowledge in his stomach?"

Wen Cheng said: "Being ten times better than a minister."

Taizong said: "Why don't you think of a way, let him surrender us."

Wen Cheng said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart. With such a heart, the emperor will never be unable to do anything, but the opportunity will come sooner or later. Now let's surround this area, trap him for a few months and then see." .”

Taizong nodded in agreement, then surrounded Songshan City like an iron barrel, with all food and grass cut off, and merchants unable to communicate.

Hong Chengchou, governor Qiu Minyang, military officers Cao Bianjiao, Zu Dale, deputy general Xia Chengde and others went to the city and stood firm, vowing not to surrender to the death.There are always three or five letters sent by the Qing camp to surrender every day, which are tied to arrows and shot into the city.Chengchou ordered, don't open your eyes, and burn it with fire if you pick it up, so as not to shake the morale of the army.One day, Xia Chengde reported: "There is no food in the city, and I beg the management to help."

Chengchou was angry with him for his recklessness, so he yelled and scolded him.Chengde was very annoyed, and secretly said: "Now that food is running out, and you are guarding the isolated city, seeing that you are dying, it is all a word of loyalty. I will stay with you for a few days, since I am putting on airs like this, I dare not I will accompany you. The emperors of the Northern Dynasties recruited heroes very much, and the southerners voted for them, and none of them did not use them. Like Li Yongfang from Fushun, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming from Dongjiang, they were not very proud when they were in the Central Plains. Now they are all coral tops. , Peacock Ling, straight waist and protruding belly, what a glory! What an honor! If I surrender today, I will be like them tomorrow and become a first-class minister of the Qing Dynasty. Compared with the old man Bai Shouhong who is lazy hundred times!"

Immediately, he told his son this idea.Although his son was young, his conscience had not yet faded, and he replied: "Although Manchuria is strong, it is after all a Tartar.

We dignified Central Plains people, surrendering to him is not worth it after all.Furthermore, if all people in the Central Plains are like their father, wouldn’t the country of the Central Plains die early? "

Chengde said with a smile: "Whether the Ming Dynasty dies or not, it has nothing to do with you and me! It's not up to you or me to be the emperor if it doesn't die anyway. As long as you obey the law, who will be the emperor, your wealth and fame will never come to an end." Take it off."

His son heard that it was reasonable, so he agreed.The father and son agreed in secret, Chengde wrote a letter of surrender, and asked his son to be quietly sent to the Qing camp, and he should be agreed within the agreed time.Taizong was overjoyed, and immediately sent troops to break through, and broke through with only one drum.Seeing that the situation was over, Qiu Futai and Cao Zhentai both took poison and died.Zu Dale is a good man, he followed Xia Chengde and surrendered.When the city was not broken, Emperor Taizong issued a decree that after the city was broken, nothing else mattered, only Hong Chengchou needed to live, not die.Therefore, all the generals are brave and strive to be the first.Hong Chengchou was just waiting to commit suicide by hanging himself, but Xia Chengde grabbed him from the back, snatched the rope, and hugged Taizong like a baby.Taizong persuaded him to surrender, and Chengchou sneered: "It's easy for me to die, but for me to surrender, the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten. Haha, even if the sea is exhausted and the rocks are rotten, I can't obey!"

Taizong said to Fan Wencheng: "I will leave this matter to you. You can persuade him slowly for me. If you persuade him to change his mind, he will reward you with his own decree."

After Wen Cheng led the decree, he accompanied Hong Chengchou to his camp, accompanied him carefully, and persuaded him in every possible way. Heng Weng was long and Heng Weng was short, and he said countless good things.However, this old Mr. Hong, with a frosty and iron face, has no emotion at all, you speak like a sword, and lotuses grow from the bottom of your tongue, he finally closed his eyes and said nothing.Advise him not to eat, not to drink, for three consecutive days.As a result, Fan Wencheng, who was eloquent and resourceful, lost his mind.Taizong was very depressed when he heard about it.Suddenly received the red flag news: Prince Yutong broke Jinzhou, Ming general Zu Dashou also surrendered.It is also reported: Xingshan and Tashan have been breached one after another.Taizong said: "If Hong Chengchou refuses to surrender, he will have a hundred cities, which is not very interesting."

Wen Cheng said: "The emperor loves him so much, and he is still so stubborn, I think it's always bad luck for me to be old.

Now let's take the class as a teacher, return to Beijing, and then slowly think of a way. "

Taizong said: "Of course he wants a class teacher. If he refuses to surrender, we will stay here with him for the rest of our lives!"

So a decree was sent to leave a few soldiers to guard Xinde City, and the rest of the troops went back to Beijing with them.

As soon as he arrived in Shengjing, he ordered Hong Jinglue to be placed in the upper study room, and four internal eunuchs were sent to take turns to serve him.At this time, Hong Chengchou was full of loyalty and pride, and he had no other thoughts than to die.Sitting closed in the upper study, looking at it like that, it looks like a withered monk in an ancient courtyard or a widow in a deserted village.Generally speaking, when a person has the thought of dying, he must donate all other things that he loves, such as wealth, wealth, money, and beauty, so his heart is more pure and thorough than usual.Hong Chengchou felt sad at first when he gave up drinking, but later he learned a method. Whenever he was sad, he would silently recite Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" like a mantra.

As soon as I recite "Song of Righteous Qi", all thoughts will be exhausted, and the sadness will be better.So I took this "Song of Righteousness" every day as a homework, and recited it silently.

One day, Chengchou was doing his homework when suddenly a strange fragrance came to his nostrils.

The fragrance penetrates through the nose and reaches the forehead. It feels sweeter than all the fragrances of flowers.After a while of footsteps, it seemed that a person was approaching.Chengchou's eyes have not opened since the city was broken and captured.At this moment, being touched by this strange fragrance, his old man's curiosity was touched, and he couldn't help opening his eyes to see clearly.When you don't open it, everything will stop, but when you open it, it will be amazing, and it will scare the old man out of his wits in an instant.You came in, what is it?It turned out to be a stunning woman who sinks fish and wild geese, and is ashamed of flowers under the moon. Her eyebrows are like spring willows, her face is like a hibiscus, her spring melts into the waist of Chu State, and her bun is the topknot of Zhen's family.Look at her dress, she is even more coquettish, wearing a peach blossom plain satin embroidered phoenix jacket, covered with a dense green satin squirrel lining, gold embroidered dragon and phoenix crotch, and royal blue trimmed trousers.A pair of heavenly feet, wearing red satin Beijing-style round flag.Holding a red crepe handkerchief in one hand, and a dazzling silver teapot in the other.When Chengchou saw such a woman, he jumped suddenly and thought to himself, "Isn't this a goblin?"No woman in the world can be so beautiful!Quickly staring at a pair of dizzy old eyes, taking advantage of the light, he looked carefully for a while, and asked anxiously: "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost? Do you dare to take my life when you come here?"

The woman's cheeks were flushed and her handsome eyes were rippling. She smiled at Chengchou and didn't answer a word.Chengchou became more and more suspicious and kept asking.The woman smiled and replied: "Did you ask me? Although I am not a ghost, in comparison, I am similar to a life-threatening ghost."

Hearing this charming voice, Chengchou seemed to be singing like a warbler outside a flower, or a bird singing in a forest, soft and crisp, and his whole body became energetic immediately.Unconsciously asked: "Who the hell are you? Who told you to come here? What are you doing here? Why don't you explain clearly? Those words just now are really boring. The more you listen, the more boring you become."

The woman listened, her cherry lips parted, her white teeth were slightly exposed, and she smiled lowly: "Are you still afraid of death, sir? You don't have to ask me who I am and what I'm here for, sir. If you like death, just treat it like me." To remind you of impermanence; if you don’t like death, take me as Bodhi.

Chengchou said: "The more you talk, the more strange you are."What are you doing here?I also have to make it clear. "

The woman said: "Sir, don't worry, I'm telling you the truth, I'm here specifically to kill you."

Chengchou said in surprise: "I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no vendettas today. Why do you want to kill me suddenly?"

The woman said with a smile: "Your old man is here, neither eats nor drinks water, isn't he determined to seek death?"

Chengchou nodded and said, "That's right, I'm going to die, I'm determined to die."

The woman said: "With such ambition, you, an old man, are willing to die instead of stealing life, which is indeed very respectable.

It's just been five or six days since the hunger strike, and there is still no end. I am so depressed that I can't live, I can't die, I am hungry and thirsty, and I am miserable.I'm a soft-hearted person. Seeing you live and suffer like this, why don't I feel sorry for you?Therefore, a pot of poison is boiled to serve you.This medicine is very poisonous, once you drink it, you will see the effect immediately.If you don't believe it, just try it out. "

As he spoke, he picked up the silver pot, put it on Chengchou's mouth and poured it out.Chengchou couldn't help himself, and then said: "Not bad, not bad, thank you."

Open your mouth and drink as much as you can.Who knows, he drank too fast, couldn't bear it in his throat, coughed and vomited all over the floor, even the woman's honey green satin embroidered golden squirrel was soaked in a large piece.Chengchou was very embarrassed and couldn't help blushing.Looking back at the woman, as if nothing happened, she took the handkerchief with a smile, wiped it slowly, and said: "It seems that Mr. died successfully, it seems that Mr.'s life has not been exhausted."

Chengchou said: "What do you say? I am determined to die, and I will not rest until I die."

The woman said: "That's whatever you want, sir."

Then he brought up the silver pot again.Chengchou went on, gurgling, and drank it clean in one breath.The woman glanced at Chengchou and said with a smile: "I don't believe that Mr. is a gentleman who regards death as his home. He is respectable and respectable. It's just that Mr.'s family has a lot of forgiveness. You died here and left them all behind. As a result, the golden hairpin falls into a deep boudoir dream every night. Sir, your heart is too cruel."

Chengchou bowed his head for a while, sighed and said: "It's not that I'm hard-hearted. When things come to an end, I can't help it. The city is dead and the army is defeated. As a prisoner, if I still miss home, I must surrender. Foreign countries. If they surrendered to foreign countries, wouldn’t they be reviled by thousands of people!
Think about it for me, is it difficult for me in this realm? "

The woman said: "Sir, you speak very well, but unfortunately there is still a little error."

Chengchou said, "What's the difference?"

The woman said: "According to what Mr. said, you only know one body, not the country."

Chengchou said in amazement: "My death is for the country, why do you say that I am only a body?"

The woman said: "Sir, you are a smart person. Could it be that you can't solve this problem? Since you are devoted to the country and devoted your efforts, it is reasonable to endure the temporary humiliation and try to recover. Besides, your husband is in the Central Plains. He can be regarded as one of the best figures. If you only rely on the word "death" to repay the country, I don't know what benefits the death of Mr. has in the country. I just said that it is a pity that there is a little mistake, and it is here. But Mr. has already After drinking the poison, I'm not the one to stop you from dying, but I'm just talking about the inaccuracies, and that's all. Don't be offended, sir."

Chengchou was stunned and said nothing.The woman said again: "The word 'death' is the same, but here there is a big difference in severity. After your husband died, the heroes of the Central Plains were all inspired by you to continue your unfulfilled wish. This death is really serious. If Mount Tai, death is very worthwhile. But look at the Ming Dynasty now, who else came out to do things? You Central Plains people, you mainly talk about party disputes, what is Donglin Party, Xilin Party? , who has the kung fu to resist the enemy? It is bound to drive straight in, like a broken bamboo. In the future, the clan will be lost, and only copper camels and thorns will be left, and the Forbidden City of Millet, isn’t it the legacy of Mr.’s death? Your death will be lighter than a feather.”

After hearing this, Chengchou sighed and said, "I don't believe you girls have such insights. I also admire them very much. But I have exhausted my wits and have no choice but to die. How can I care so much?"

The woman nodded and said: "I'm plotting against you, but I died cleanly. So I'm not here to stop you. But I think when someone dies, they will inevitably have some instructions. Mr. Kuang's shoulders have shouldered the important responsibilities of the country. At the time of death, there are no instructions?"

Chengchou was touched by the woman's words, and felt sad for a while, and the soreness came from his heart to his nose, and the tears in his eyes, like broken pearls, rolled down one by one, even in his throat. Weeping, he said, "I'm a passionate person. Didn't I tell you something? There are so many emotions in my heart. I'm afraid I won't be able to say it after a few days and nights. Now that I'm dying here, who do I ask?" I only hope that after death, a little soul can fly back to the homeland, and I can talk to my sweetheart in a dream. In case the soul is lost, I have no choice but to bury it outside the Great Wall with Bai Yang's decaying grass. .”

Having said this, I couldn't help sobbing again.The woman said: "Sir, please don't be sentimental. I only know that you don't have much advice, but I don't think that you are full of words. It's just because you can't see your family and can't give you instructions. Sir, don't you have anyone in front of you who can speak for you? "

Chengchou said: "except you, who else is willing to talk to me? Although you are a person who sympathizes with me, but it's the first time we meet, how can you convey this instruction? Please convey it?"

The woman said: "I don't want my husband to be so upright and forthright, but he still hasn't gotten rid of his pedantic habits. Or maybe your husband doesn't believe me yet. If you believe me, what scruples do you have?"

Chengchou said: "You are so enthusiastic, I will be grateful to you forever. After I die, I will repay you with a straw title. But I don't know if your words are true or false?"

The woman said: "Who lied to you, do I have no place to lie, but am I going to lie to your dying person?"

Seeing that the woman was angry, Chengchou quickly thanked him and said, "I'm so dazed. I'm so rude to a beauty. I hope I can see you playing tricks." Seeing him like this, the woman laughed upside down.Chengchou said: "For a dying person like me, and you to take pity on me, you are really the first confidant in my life. It's just that I have a lot to say in my heart, and I only feel that there are thousands of words. Teach me where to start. That is to say Come out, I'm afraid you will be bored too."

The woman said: "You say it, I will never get bored. If I want to be bored, I won't come to you."

Chengchou said: "So I'll say it. What I want to say in my heart is that there are two levels of family and country. I'm sorry you don't understand the affairs of the country, and I can't tell you. Now I just talk about the family affairs. Let me tell you. I still have old men and women in my family. I advise them both to know that it is only natural for my son to die in a foreign land. The ancients often say that filial piety is loyalty. Kuang's family has quite a bit of property. The two of them can deal with it as much as they can. Don’t teach me to be a son because I hurt my body because of my crying. Even our wife has benefited a lot from me in my life, but she was spoiled. , I feel a little uncomfortable, so I have to lose my temper. I was a little bit afraid when I saw her. This time I got a dead letter from me, and it will definitely turn upside down. Tell the old lady to see the idea and stop thinking about it. Only me The four aunts, cough, have fallen into a sea of ​​misery since then."

Speaking of this, the circles of his eyes turned red, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak a word.

Seeing Chengchou's appearance, the woman knew that he was moved, so she deliberately provocatively said: "Now my husband misses them so much, I don't know how much these four aunts miss you at home? I don't know how painful it is to be tortured by my wife. ?”

Chengchou listened, two lines of tears flowed down, and he said in a choked voice: "None of my aunts is not selected from thousands of choices, and when making love, there is not one who does not make an oath, no If you say that you are in the sky, you can say that you are in the ground. Whoever wants to be unpredictable, but meets this ruthless old man, who flays and separates my old couple, causing my aunt, who is as bright as a flower and as clean as a moon, to do it. The green pearl downstairs, Guan Pan upstairs. What do you think, how should I deal with it?"

As he spoke, he covered his face with his sleeves, and began to cry again early.After a long while, he sighed and said: "I don't care too much, so I just let her go, they are women after all, and they understand what is right and proper! Those who only know how to pamper her are lifelong confidants.

Whether it's Zhang San or Li Si, those who swear to the sky are very reliable.I implore you to send a letter to them in the future, saying that it is not that Hong Hengjiu does not love them, it is because they are young, the world is not peaceful, and life is difficult, but everyone should show their eyes, choose a contented person, and go with him, I am happy to be at ease for the rest of my life and be a happy person. "

Said, bowed his head and couldn't stop sighing.

After hearing this, the woman smiled slightly and said, "Mr.'s intentions are really good. But if there is someone in my aunt who doesn't want to marry, what about you?"

Chengchou shook his head and said: "No way, a woman's temperament is so virtuous! Hearing that I will die like this, with such a will, I will not be happy even if I am happy, like a prisoner in prison, listening to the decree of pardon.

"The woman changed her face and said: "Mr. Hong, you underestimate it too much. What is the difference between women and men?"

A woman with two husbands, that is, a man with two surnames, likes and dislikes, cannot be wiped out in one stroke.Mr. Hong, are you serious about underestimating women like this? "

Chengchou knew that the woman was interested, so he hurriedly distinguished and said: "Don't worry too much, I don't want to slander women in peace.

But now, I can't think of any other good way to arrange them.These dirty words are helpless, please forgive me. "

Then he sighed again: "My original intention was to live with them, life and death, and never to be separated. However, fate is not good, and I have to die here. If I teach them to observe festivals, let alone my wife wants to be with them." Vomiting, even in their hearts, I can't guess whether they are willing to keep it or not. If they don't want to, it will ruin my reputation and humiliate my family. It's better to be straightforward and make it convenient. They listen to it If they leave, people will not say that they are out of morals, they only say that they are obeying my will. If they don't leave, then her ambition and my reputation will increase tenfold. The dirty words just said, For this reason, do you understand now?"

The woman nodded and said: "I understand, but I understand, but until now, sir, he still wants to preserve his reputation like this. If he wants to preserve his reputation, he comes to slander us women, is it okay for him?"

After hearing this, Chengchou blushed and was speechless.The woman said: "Why are you silent again? Speak!"

Chengchou thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized something, and said to the woman: "I am grateful for your kindness. But you are clever and eloquent. You are by no means an ordinary person. Could it be that you were ordered to come here?" Want to find out my hidden secrets? However, my death is approaching, so I still care about hiding my secrets.

I just feel your high righteousness, Shang Bo Xiaohan, please tell me your name.Also taught me to engrave my heart and engrave my liver, and make a final memorial. "

After hearing this, the woman smiled, her eyebrows were green, she gave Chengchou a confused look, and said, "Didn't I tell you just now, if you like death, then treat it as my impermanence, and if you don't like death, then treat it as me." Save Suffering Bodhi. Mister, do you dare to forget?"

At the beginning of Chengchou, he intended to seek death, but he absolutely refused to live.After talking with the woman, after listening to the transparent discussion and seeing this smiling and frowning behavior, unconsciously, the thought of dying gradually disappeared, and I deeply regretted that I didn't do it just now. It's time to drink up a pot of poison, and if the drug's effect occurs in a short while, it will definitely be life-threatening.

If you want to know how Mr. Hong's life is, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
