Chapter 99 Happiness is rare!
It was already three days after Yun Zhao received the express report from Han Lingshan.
"Where has Li Hongji arrived?"
After reading the express report, Yun Zhao asked his secretary Pei Zhong.
"Judging from the express report received today, Li Hongji's Chinese army is only 230 miles away from the capital, and his vanguard Liu Zongmin's forward has arrived in Daxing County, only fifty miles away from the capital.
p>
"Where is Li Dingguo?" "
"According to the march plan reported by them, Li Dingguo should have arrived at Zhangjiakou by this time. However, based on General Li Dingguo's marching habits, his light cavalry has at least reached the Miyun area. "
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and continued to ask: "Who is the guard general of Juyong Gate? "
Pei Zhong replied without thinking: "Miyun Commander-in-Chief Tang Tong. "
"Tang Tong? "
Yun Zhao passed the name of this person in his mind and said softly: "Tell Li Dingguo that if this person surrenders, kill him. "
Pei Zhong said in confusion: "Kill the surrendered general? "
Yun Zhao snorted and said: "Lantian is not a garbage basket. It accepts all kinds of garbage. "
Pei Zhong nodded and recorded the handling of Tang Tong in his notebook.
"Han Lingshan's express report requires a quick decision. ”
Pei Zhong saw that Yun Zhao seemed to have forgotten Hanlingshan’s 800-mile expedited order, so he reminded him in a low voice. After all, according to Lantian regulations, all 800-mile expedited documents must be processed immediately. The withdrawal cannot be delayed.
Yun Zhao looked up at Pei Zhong and said, "Let the Prime Minister make the decision.
Pei Zhong hesitated and said: "I think it would be better for Your Majesty to give the order personally. In any case, it is right to give priority to kindness."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "My pardon and acceptance of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty are a personal guarantee. If the Prime Minister does this, it means that the people of Lantian have pardoned these women and children. This is the real kindness." "
Pei Zhongdao: "Since His Majesty requested this, I thought it would be better to leave it to the People's Congress to make the decision, but the Standing Committee members were scattered everywhere, which would delay time.
Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Let's leave it to the Prime Minister." "
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Pei Zhong took the document from Yun Zhao's desk, used fire paint, handed it to his secretary and said, "Send it to the Prime Minister's residence quickly. "
Yun Zhao left the study, looked up at Yushan hidden in the clouds and mists, and whispered: "It's February, and there's not even a hint of spring yet. ”
“If you wait a little longer, spring will come. "
Feng Ying walked in from the outside wearing armor. She happened to hear her husband's nonsense, so she picked it up.
"Is the time up? "
Yun Zhao asked Feng Ying.
"The time has come. Six hundred and twenty-one scholars are ready to set off with the army. "
"I'll go take a look. ”
Yun Zhao did not put on the cloak, FengYing hesitated for a moment and did not go to get it, but followed Yun Zhao in a hurry.
Just outside the big study room, six hundred and twenty-one scholars in white cloaks were already lined up neatly in the square carrying their huge backpacks. Seeing Yun Zhao coming out, they all He bent down and bowed his hands.
Yun Zhao kept shouting OK, OK, OK. He walked to the front of the team and looked at Peng Guoshu, the leader of the group, and said: "The situation in the capital is the most complicated. I want to clear it up in a short time." It's difficult to get a clue."
Peng Guoshu raised his hand and said: "There will always be a way."
Yun Zhao pointed to his heart and said: "Be careful."
Peng Guoshu chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these 621 people are all elites drawn from various places. They are rich in experience. Once our army captures the capital, these experts will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in the shortest time. To stabilize the capital."
Yun Zhao nodded happily, then walked up to a young man with a mustache and said, "Ziyu, you were supposed to be promoted to the state capital after six years in Ningxia Town. But I have to go far away from the battlefield, I feel wronged by you."
He Jiangyu said with a smile: "Bizhi is like a brick. To this day, this brick has not been broken. As long as it can be used, I don't mind being there. As for the state capital, one will be mine sooner or later."
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "When we capture the capital, Lantian will unify the north. Therefore, the quality of the capital's governance will directly affect whether we can truly succeed. Rule the north well and be cautious."
He Jiangyu nodded with a smile, and Yun Zhao's eyes flashed, but he saw Liang Ying from the crowd.
Seeing that Liang Ying could not escape, he ran out of the team, knelt down and saluted, and sweetly called "Your Majesty."
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "What are you doing? Are you joining the team too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
Liang Ying's eyes widened and he said: "The humble job is where you sneak in, I got in through the exam."
Yun Zhao waved his hand and said: "Okay, let me tell you. That's wrong. Our Liang Ying passed the exam. That's good. You went to the capital and happened to visit your old friend. She may not have had a good life recently."
Liang Ying curled her lips. He said: "If you want to live a good life, you should stay in Yushan."
Seeing that Yun Zhao stopped talking, Peng Guoshu bowed his hand to Yun Zhao, and then gave an order, and a team of more than 600 people left. Set off slowly.
Yun Zhao stood on the roadside and waved constantly to say goodbye to these elites.
Seeing that they walked out of Yushan City, Yun Zhao slowly walked towards the big study.
He walked to the big willow tree, stopped, broke a willow branch and handed it to Pei Zhong, saying, "Take it to Peng Guoshu."
Pei Zhong took the willow branch and He summoned the groom to bring a horse, jumped on it, and hurried away.
"Husband is reluctant to let this person go?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "It's too fast. In the past, I thought that fifteen years to conquer the world would be an extremely long time. The years, where do you know, in the blink of an eyeIt's over.
Feng Ying slashed off a willow with a knife and held it in his hand: "If you, husband, dislike the arrival of spring too slowly, let's go back and put this willow in a bottle, and it will bloom soon." sprouting.
Even if the husband doesn’t want to see such a spring scene, he doesn’t know that the willow trees in the south of the Yangtze River are already floating on the river, and the spring scene in Guangzhou has never faded..."
Yun Zhao smiled and said: “It’s best if a hundred flowers bloom. ”
The gates of the northern capital city were finally closed.
Mu Tiantao stood at the top of the Zhengyang Gate, looking at the black spots swimming on the horizon with a solemn expression.
As early as three days ago, he stopped going out of the city to fight against the bandit knights.
He keenly felt that the knights who fought against him began to have a purpose. Luuring him further away, he tentatively attacked, and when he saw the Rangers starting to appear as a white team, he decisively retreated.
He believed that as long as he had the three hundred. If a person is entangled by a band of hundreds of thieves, thousands of thieves will immediately surround him.
That is to say, the army of thieves has finally reached the city.
It has been three days since he saw Zhu Yurao.
To this day, he still doesn’t know what Zhu Yurao said to Xia Wanchun and whether he succeeded.
When Zhu Yurao came back that day, She was wearing Xia Wanchun's boots.
She wore very big boots...
A lot of things happened that day. He felt like he was in a dream and couldn't remember many details. I remember that he and Zhu Ailao were very crazy.
He never imagined that the always gentle princess would be so crazy.
In that warm room, the princess cried for a while, and then she died. Holding his frantic demands until they were exhausted, they still refused to let him go... For a whole day and night, they did not leave the warm room...
Extremely exhausted and extremely painful, they finally embraced each other. He fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, the princess was nowhere to be found, with only the red patches left on the sheets, as if to remind him of what happened yesterday.
p>There was the roar of artillery on the city wall from time to time.
Only Zhengyang Gate was silent at all.
Eunuch messengers sent by the emperor came more than once. When they arrived at Zhengyangmen, they wanted to say a few words to Mu Tiantao, a powerful official whom the emperor admired very much, but in the end they were trapped in the deathly silent environment and couldn't say a word.
In the end. , when Cao Huachun arrived, Mu Tiantao bared his big white teeth and said with a smile: "This is a place of death, what is Mr. Cao doing here? ”
Cao Huachun’s formerly full head of black hair has long since turned snow-white.
The formerly tall and straight waist has also become rickety.
Since Yun Zhao wanted him After his head, he has never left the palace.
After hiding for so long, he doesn't care anymore, so he just takes it.Dong left the palace.
"I'm going to die, so what if I don't leave the palace."
Mu Tiantao smiled and said, "Why do you think of coming to see me again?"
Cao Huachun coughed and said: "As an eunuch, Cao has been fairly honest throughout his life. He has never murdered anyone in his life, but his reputation is not very good. Civil servants like to call me eunuchs, and military generals like to call me eunuchs." Called a castrated dog.
Nowadays, only the prince is willing to call me Cao Gong, which makes me feel tight.
Since it is rare, I will often call him Cao Gong. Come."
Mu Tiantao said with a smile: "Then let's die here together."
Before he finished speaking, there was a long sound of horns on the horizon, first. Countless flags appeared on the horizon, and then the dark crowd came over them like dark clouds.
Cao Huachun did not show any panic when facing the tidal wave of Li Chuang's army. Instead, he pointed at the group of people and said: "These people used to be His Majesty's obedient subjects, but now they hate Your Majesty forever." "
Mu Tiantao said: "Just kill them all."
Cao Huachun said: "I can't kill them all. In fact, these people hate the wrong person. If it is said in this world. There is one person who sincerely hopes that they can live a life of adequate food and clothing, and that must be His Majesty.
Unfortunately, His Majesty cannot do anything by himself. Under the general situation, he alone wants to give to the people. People who live a good life have to have various assessments and taxes added to them again and again, making their lives even more miserable.
I sometimes think, if your Majesty is a person. He will definitely be a very good master for a family of hundreds of people. Unfortunately, he is the co-owner of hundreds of millions of people, and he is unable to control the fierce horse of Ming Dynasty.
In the end, he was followed by the fierce horse. Falling off his back is just what he should do.
As a human being, Yun Zhao is very good at driving a strong horse. With a strong horse on his hip, it can gallop thousands of miles without stopping... "
Mu Tiantao listened to Cao Huachun's breathless voice in his ears, but he kept giving orders in his mouth. The appearance of the enemy made the blood in his body seem to start to burn.
"As long as the thieves cross the red range-finding line, fire immediately."
"Inao is a very good, very good child. I know what she brought to you. There is only disaster, but I still want to tell you, don’t abandon her. If you promise me not to abandon my concubine and stay with her through life and death, I will definitely have consequences.”
Mu Tiantao looked at the band of thieves. Having crossed the range-finding line, he waved the flag in his hand and shouted: "Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." The red cannons at the top of the city sounded one after another, and strings of black cannons fired. The artillery shells rushed towards the army formation of the bandits, creating a gap of flesh and blood in the army formation.
Just when Cao Huachun was about to leave, Mu Tiantao said loudly: "Mr. Cao will be merciful and let Zhu Ainao live."
Cao Huachun said in confusion: "What's going on? Said?"
Mu Tiantao took two steps forward quickly. At some point, he already had the spear in his hand. He leaned forward and the poisonous dragon-like spear pierced Cao Huachun's chest.
Cao Huachun grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands in pain and said with difficulty: "Why? "
Mu Tiantao smiled and said: "You are tempting my ambition..."
