Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 826
Three hours later, the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Wanli stood behind his dragon case.

Hong Lang knelt in front of Long An, holding the Xiuchun knife that He Liusheng used in his hands.

Emperor Wanli had tears in his eyes.The monarch cannot let his courtiers see his tears.He turned away silently.

Emperor Wanli raised his head, trying to keep the tears from flowing out of his eyes.After a long time, he walked up to Hong Lang and picked up the Xiuchun knife: "Before He Aiqing leaves, do you have any last words?"

Hong Lang replied with tears in his voice, "No, no."

Emperor Wanli shouted outside the hall: "Wei Zhongxian!"

Wei Zhongxian walked into the palace: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Emperor Wanli said sadly, "He Liu, let's go."

Wei Zhongxian pretended to be sad: "Ah! The country has lost its pillars! Your Majesty, my condolences!"

Emperor Wanli said: "He Aiqing told me before. When he dies, he will burn his body to ashes, take it to Tanggukou and scatter it into the sea. He likes the sea. Do as he said. In addition, in the embroidery On the Spring Knife, the eight characters 'Jinyiwei Commander He Liu' are engraved. He Liu has been in charge of Jinyiwei for decades, but he has only received the false title of Jinyiwei Zuodudu, and has never been a commander. I can't let him lead I leave this world with regret.”

Emperor Wanli paused, held back tears, and continued: "Build a clothes tomb for He Aiqing outside Tanggukou. Bury his flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife in the clothes tomb."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Dare to ask the emperor, how to write the epitaph of the Clothes Tomb? Who wrote it?"

Emperor Wanli thought for a moment, and said, "Let's set up a stele without words for He Liu. The merits and demerits of your life will be judged by future generations."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Three days later, late at night.

Wearing casual clothes, Emperor Wanli came to the secret room of Jinyiwei Tianzi.

In the hands of Emperor Wanli, he held the "Biography of He Ping An" written by the historian of the Imperial Academy.Emperor Wanli personally changed the name of "The Story of He Pingan" to "Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers".

In the secret room of the Emperor, there is still a black iron brazier.

Emperor Wanli opened "Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers" and read it word by word: "He Ping'an, born in the 16th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. He was born in Shuntian Prefecture, the capital. His father, Jinyiwei, has a hundred households, He Quan. In the 19th year of Jiajing, he congratulated his father on his death. , raided Jinyiwei to inspect hundreds of households... During the Jiajing period, he fought against the treacherous minister Yan Song... At the end of the Long Dynasty and the beginning of the Wan Dynasty, he helped Zhang Juzheng implement the New Deal..."

Emperor Wanli spent half an hour reading the tens of thousands of words of "Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers".The dozens of pages in his hand recorded the ups and downs of a loyal minister for decades.

He Liu was burdened with too many heavenly secrets that cannot be revealed to others.His original biography cannot be included in the annals of the Imperial Academy.

Emperor Wanli lit the fire book and put "Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers" in the brazier to ignite.

In the secret room of the Son of Heaven, ashes were flying.These ashes seem to be telling the story of a loyal minister's life.

He Liu passed away.His relatives and friends also have their own destinations.

He Liu's son-in-law, Li Rubai, is an official obeisance to Liaodong General Soldier.He fought and won battles all his life, but in the end he did not escape the fate of defeat.In the 47th year of Wanli, the Battle of Salhu.Li Rubai was defeated by the Hou Jin Army.Proud all his life, he couldn't bear the humiliation of defeat, so he committed suicide and died for his country.

He Liu's daughter Zhu Xiang heard the news of her husband's death, and ended her own life with a white silk.A wisp of fragrance soul, goes with the husband.

He Liu's grandson, He Zezhen, inherited the title of Marquis of Zhenshan, and joined Jinyiwei to inspect hundreds of households and take care of family affairs.Tired officials went to Jinyiwei to command Tongzhi.In the third year of Chongzhen, he died of an emergency.

He Zezhen and Princess Jinyang have a son named He Ruoqi, who is He's sixth great-grandson.In the 15th year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty, He Ruoqi accompanied his surname Zheng Chenggong to cross the sea to Taiwan and died in the battle.The He family has never been seen since then.

He Liu's grandson, Li Hanjiao, went to governor of Shandong Province.Retired and returned home.After the Jin army entered the pass, they threw themselves into the lake to die for Ming Dynasty.

The good eunuch Chen Ju continued to lead the East Factory until his death due to illness in the 35th year of Wanli.

In the first year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian stepped on the corpse of his grandfather Wang An and entered the Prison of Rites.The Great Ming Dynasty Hall opened the "Era of Nine Thousand Years".

Wang Zhizhen and Luo Sigong successively served as the commanders of Jinyiwei.The two of them have made meritorious deeds and demerits in their lives.

Among He Liu's relatives and friends, the one who lived the longest was the demented Yang Wan!He lived until the fourth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty.Lived to be 97 years old.After the Jin Dynasty entered the customs, the Jinyiwei yamen was retained according to the Ming system.In the first year of Shunzhi, in order to demonstrate the new dynasty's preferential treatment of the veterans of the former dynasty, the regent Dorgon ordered Yang Wanjin to be the leader of Yiwei.On the day when he was granted the title, Yang Wan, who had been demented for most of his life, bit his tongue and killed himself without dying.

Dorgon admired his integrity and caressed him favorably.Four years later, Yang Wan died of no illness.

In the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing government abolished Jinyiwei Yamen.Jin Yiwei finally drew its own full stop in history.

However, the emperors of all dynasties in the Qing Dynasty raised a group of domestic slaves who specialized in secret errands.Such as the guard at the sticky pole in the Yongzheng Dynasty.Do not change the medicine, just changed the name.

The trend of history is mighty.260 seven years after the death of Ming Dynasty.Year of Jiazi, Xinhai.China's 5000-year feudal monarchy has finally been swept into the dustbin of history.

Tianjin, Binhai New Area.

Economic development has led to rapid urban expansion.The ancient city of Tianjin has been replaced with new vitality.

Liu Kele, an old professor of archeology, is leading his students in the rescue excavation of a tomb with no characters in the Ming Dynasty.Before long, a modern library will be erected on top of the Clothes Tomb.

Liu Kele carefully took out a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife from the ancient tomb.

Six days later, in the multimedia classroom of a university in Tianjin.

Liu Kele showed slides of flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives to his students.

Eight words were engraved on the Xiuchun knife: "Commander of Jinyiwei, He Liu."

A student raised his hand and spoke: "Teacher, there is no record of He Liu in Ming history. Commander Jin Yiwei is a senior military officer of the Ming Dynasty. How could it not be recorded in the history books?"

Fat Liu Kele adjusted his glasses: "I've been thinking about this question for several days. I think 'He Liu' might be a code name. Just like modern agents have their own code name. After analysis, the The Yiguan Tomb should have been built in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. He Liu may be the code name of one of the commanders of Jinyiwei in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It may be Lu Bing, it may be Zhu Xixiao, it may be Liu Shouyou, or it may be Wang Zhizhen. It is also possible. . . . everyone."
