When Yuan Gong walked out of the imperial city, he was still wearing a red round-collared official robe. He put away his umbrella and got into a carriage. At Yuan Gong's command, a group of carriages and horses and ceremonial attendants headed towards Taiping Gate.
After the troops walked out of Taiping Gate, Yuan Gong left behind most of his entourage and only a carriage with two people went to Qingshou Temple. When the late emperor personally visited Qingshou Temple, there were not many people, so Yuan Gong naturally would not go to Qingshou Temple to show his official etiquette.
He entered Qingshou Temple and lit a stick of incense in the main hall. Then the monk Qingyuan came over and took Yuan Gong to the place where Daoyan was presiding.
Monk Qingyuan pushed open a wooden door and clasped his hands together and said, "Master, Yuan Siqing is here."
"Come in." Dao Yan's old voice said.
Yuan Gong walked in and closed the door behind his back.
Duke of Wei Xu Huizu was certainly not ill, if he was ill it was only a mental illness.As soon as the guests left, he jumped off the bed very swiftly, took off the clothes he was wearing, put on a gray cloth robe, and immediately pinched his nose and walked out of the bedroom full of the smell of medicine.At this moment, a servant suddenly rushed in and said anxiously, "Eunuch Hai Tao is here with a letter!""Damn it!" Xu Huizu cursed in a deep voice, and had to go back to the bedroom and take off the robe he had just put on. Then he lay on the bed, adjusted his posture and movements, and tried not to use the strength of his body.After a while, the eunuch Haitao came in. Xu Huizu struggled to get up from the bed again, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then took a letter from Haitao.Xu Huizu unfolded the letter and saw the handwriting, and he determined that it was not written by a man. As expected, Haitao reminded him, "This was written
The palace of the King of Han in Guizhou Dusi was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, looking very festive. The invisible haze that had been hanging over the palace seemed to have been swept away.Although it is located in the south, the weather in Guizhou is also very cold in winter. The weather has not been very good recently. It rained with ice particles and the weather suddenly became cold. But all this coldness cannot dampen people's high spirits."Mr. Li" sent people to prepare a celebration banquet to entertain the civil and military officials who guarded Guizhou City in the central hall of the first courtyard of the Hanwang Palace to celebrate the victory. Princess Guo Wei also showed up at the banquet with many palace servants.At this moment, she had just returned to the inner house and was discussing important matters with the wives, eunuchs and palace maids of the palace. However, she was mostly repeating what Mr. Li said, and she sounde
In the city of Chengdu, the Sichuan Provincial Administration, the residence of Mu Sheng was so crowded that the numerous carriages and horses could not move, so people had to walk. Servants carrying boxes and porters carrying loads could be seen everywhere, and the things people were carrying were all tied with red satin, creating a festive atmosphere.Man proposes, God disposes! Seeing this scene, Duan Yang, who was sitting in a corner on the road, sighed in indignation.Her messy hair, her eyes showing hatred and anger, her teeth clenched and made a loud "clack" sound...Last year, Mu Sheng's son Mu Bin died at the hands of Duan Yang! She used Duan Xuehen to trick Mu Bin and others out of the mansion in the capital, and set an ambush to assassinate Mu Bin!Duan Yang's intention in doing this was not only that she could avenge the Mu family, but also that she would have the opportunity to sow discord between the Mu family and the court, so that the M
As the sun gradually set over the horizon west of Hengzhou City in the evening, Zhu Gaoxu left the city and came to the camp of the 50,000 surrendered soldiers under Wang Bin's command.There were more than 100,000 more soldiers in Hengzhou City today, and the barracks left by the government troops in the city were not enough to accommodate them; the army did not have time to arrange more houses that day. So some soldiers set up camp near the parade ground outside the city, including the surrendered soldiers captured after the battle of Baoqing Prefecture.All the generals above the rank of guard commander of these armies were replaced; but the number of surrendered troops was too large, and many of them belonged to the Beijing camp, so they have not been reorganized so far.Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to the military camp with his guards. Many soldiers around stood up and looked over here.Soon, the convoy carrying pigs, sheep, and wine arrived outside th
Hengzhou City in the early winter morning is shrouded in a layer of milky white fog.Before daybreak, Zhao Ping went to the Central Army Headquarters to report some routine military affairs. He was too embarrassed to stay in the headquarters for too long, so he had already walked out of the courtyard where the Central Army Headquarters was located. He walked to the guards waiting outside the door and silently took over the reins.Zhao Ping was not in high spirits and remained silent. On the day of the decisive battle in Baoqing Prefecture, he knew that he had performed poorly.Although some of the surrendered soldiers did not fight for their lives, there were certain reasons; but Zhao Ping recalled many times and had to admit that the biggest problem was him, the commander of the left wing! He failed to judge the situation in various parts of the battlefield in time, and did not send the Quanyong team to the places where the troops were really needed in time
The weather was clear and the morning sunshine quickly dispelled the humid fog in Hengzhou.In the central military headquarters, Zhu Gaoxu had been considering a question: should he send someone to persuade Zhang Fu to surrender?He was no longer wearing the heavy armor, but a dragon robe, but without a hat. He was looking through a whole stack of maps in the study for a long time, then stood up and paced back and forth in front of a wooden window.After a while, he suddenly noticed someone at the door. When he turned around, he saw Miao Jin standing at the door holding a teacup. Zhu Gaoxu asked in surprise, "Miao Jin, why don't you come in?"Miao Jin's voice said, "I thought Gao Xu was going to recite a poem."Zhu Gaoxu initially thought it was a joke, just trying to tease him; but soon he felt that there was no joking intent in Miao Jin's voice, and when he observed Miao Jin's face, he saw that her expression was calm and she did not smile at
First, Sheng Yong mentioned crossing the Xiangjiang River and the army continuing to advance eastward, but Zhu Gaoxu did not respond immediately.Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "I have a bold idea these days, a possibility. If the main force of the anti-crime army marches straight into the capital, what do you think will happen?"After hearing this, all the generals were stunned.Sheng Yong thought for a moment and spoke first, "The people of the capital were in a panic at that time. I estimated that some of the defenders would take advantage of the situation to open the gates and surrender! As long as the punitive army enters the capital, they will be able to control the entire city. Those who open the gates will no longer have to worry, and will not be punished by the false emperor and his ministers."Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Sheng Yong and nodded, "General Sheng and I agree. If the army can march straight in, the war will soon be ove
After Zhu Gaoxu wrote the letter of surrender, he still did not let go of the matter. He spent almost the whole day thinking about Zhang Fu.Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng actually sent someone! This was someone Zhu Gaoxu had never expected.Chen Dachui delivered the letter into the study and stood by. Zhu Gaoxu said nothing and read Liu Sheng's letter first; then he turned the letter to the left, facing the bright window, and carefully observed the seal on the back of the letter in the sunlight.This was because Zhu Gaoxu was not familiar with Liu Sheng's handwriting and could not tell the authenticity, so the seal on it actually came in handy.Zhu Gaoxu was not very familiar with Liu Sheng. During the Jingnan Campaign, Liu Sheng did fight in the Jingnan Army, but his military rank was not high; Zhu Gaoxu did not know him at that time.It was not until the decisive battle of the "Crusade against Crime" in Huguang that Liu Sheng gradually came into Zhu
