Chapter 1504 Greeting (thanks to lovedogs for being the 73rd leader of this book)
In the early morning, a huge array gathered outside Xinghe Fort again.
A temporary oversized carriage was parked in front of the array, and inside it was a copper coffin.
Zhang Fu walked in the front, with the generals and Yang Rong and others following.
The atmosphere was solemn and sad.
The array was quiet, and even the war horses seemed to know that this was an important moment and stopped neighing.
Zhang Fu walked to the front of the array, took out a piece of white cloth, and wrapped it around his head.
Everyone did it.
Zhang Fu was silent for a moment and said, "This battle is a victory that His Majesty personally led us to. Now...we... triumphant!"
There were gradually more sob sounds in the team.
Zhang Fu's lips moved a few times, turned around and looked at the generals, and finally looked at Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi.
"Two Lords Yang, do you have anything else to say?"
Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi shook their heads. At this moment, they just wanted to return to Peking as soon as possible, and then there was still some trouble with Zhu Di's funeral and Zhu Gaochi's ascension ceremony!
Just thinking of Zhu Di, the two of them were inevitably sad.
Fang Xing walked to the array and watched the carriage slowly start. He blinked his eyes and shouted with a forceful shout: "Rise up the gun! Go for your Majesty!"
"Rise the gun..."
Lin Qun'an shouted with his sword.
"Rise the gun..."
Chen De shouted with tears.
"Rise the gun..."
Song Jianran shouted in a trembling voice.
"Rise the gun..."
"Rise the gun..."
Instantly there were many gun barrels.
Fang Xing held back his tears and waved his knife hard.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Goodbye, my Majesty!
No, we will guard you all the way back to Peiping!
...
Peiping was very quiet. After the news of the first victory of the Northern Expedition came, everyone took it for granted that the Ming Dynasty would definitely win this battle.
So I listened, drank wine, and played with women.
On this day, a group of cavalry came to the city gate in vain. The guards were about to verify their identity, but the general in charge looked at him, which made him feel a sense of fear.
"I want to enter the city!"
The general left the cavalry and rushed into Beiping City by horse.
The little flag officer guarding the gate shouted in disappointment: "If you look back, you will be unlucky!"
The cavalry dismounted outside the city gate, and the early summer sun shone on their bodies a little hot, but they did not move.
The little flag officer looked at the expressions of these people carefully and found that they were solemn and a little sad.
"My God! Something must have happened!"
The little flag official shrank his neck and decided not to worry about this matter.
And the general went all the way outside the imperial city, after verifying his identity at the gate, he said, "Mr. Liu, is it a good news?"
Liu Pu nodded and shook his head, and then entered the palace.
"Why do you look like a dead father?"
The gatekeeper saw Liu Pu disappearing in the palace and said dissatisfiedly: "No matter what kind of major general is, you have to be kind!"
Liu Pu arrived at Zhu Gaochi all the way and informed him outside.
"Liu Pu is here? Is it a good news?"
Zhu Gaochi's first reaction was this, and then he smiled and said, "Let him come in."
Then he said to Xia Yuanji: "It's finally better now, and the other end of the Ministry of Revenue has also been relaxed."
Xia Yuanji smiled and said, "Your Majesty's ability to conquer is rare in the ages, and this battle will inevitably be a great victory!"
The two of them smiled until Liu Pu came in.
Liu Pu kneeled on the ground as soon as he came in, which was rare because he didn't need to kneel down when he met Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi said in surprise: "What's the matter? Get up first and then talk about it."
Liu Pu suddenly beat the floor tiles and cried, "Your Highness, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here..."
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Where has Father gone? Uh...what?"
Xia Yuanji was already stunned. He looked at Liu Pu in a daze and raised his head, saying with tears: "Your Highness, Your Majesty personally rushed forward and defeated the Halieren. After the war... he went calmly on the horse's back."
This is what Fang Xing argues with reason, and he doesn't want anyone to throw dirty water on Zhu Di's body, even in future generations.
"Bang!"
Zhu Gaochi suddenly raised his head and fell down. Liang Zhong hurried over and pinched Ren Zhong and shouted: "Your Highness wakes up, Daming still needs your support!"
Xia Yuanji came to his senses at this time. He remembered the past of his ruler and ministers with Zhu Di, and asked with tears in his eyes: "Why did Your Majesty go?"
Liu Pu said: "Your Majesty personally led the army to rush to kill Halie's heavy cavalry, and finally came out of the formation. Halie was defeated. Your Majesty also called the generals and said something, and then..."
Fang Xing could not twist everyone when Zhu Di said something about Zhu Zhanji, because everyone thought it was Zhu Di's last words.
"Before your Majesty, you will remember His Highness the Grand Prince and Princess Wanwan, and said that it is a pity that His Highness the Grand Prince cannot be present, otherwise he will definitely benefit greatly."
"Father..."
Zhu Gaochi woke up crying and shouting. The two eunuchs went over to help him up. Then he walked down and asked in tears, "Where is the father now?"
Liu Pu said: "The generals and two other Lord Yang discussed that they wanted to hide but not send them, but in the end they made a copper coffin. They must have entered the pass at this moment."
Hidden without being released, this is to give Zhu Gaochi the opportunity to arrange things calmly, so that he can take the opportunity to gather people and arrange some layouts that will help him grasp the Ming Dynasty.
But in this matter, Fang Xing opposed the most. Liu Pu remembered Fang Xing shouting to the civil and military officials at that time: "That's Your Majesty! What shit is hidden and not revealed? Are you willing to let Your Majesty feel wronged? Are you willing to let Your Majesty, who has just defeated the Halie, enter the pass quietly?"
So I walked into the gate solemnly.
Zhu Gaochi stamped his feet and said, "Go! Go and call Zhanji! Call the ministers!"
...
Before Zhu Zhanji entered the palace, he found that the capital had martial law had been imposed. He didn't know why, but when he arrived at Zhu Gaochi, he was stunned after hearing the news.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes were red and swollen, and ordered: "Go and pick up your grandpa, come back, go right away!"
Zhu Zhanji turned around and went out numbly, but Zhu Gaochi was still instructing specific matters.
After leaving the palace, Jia Quan and Shen Shitou were there. Seeing him in a daze, he asked, "Your Highness, are you going back to your house?"
Zhu Zhanji looked up in confusion, and tears instantly slid down...
...
When Zhu Zhanji arrived at Xuanfu, Fang Xing had been waiting for him for a long time.
The two walked into Zhu Di's spiritual stop. Zhu Zhanji looked at the copper coffin placed in the middle of the room. His knees softened, and then walked over and pressed his face against the copper coffin, and tears flowed.
"Grandpa Emperor, I am Zhanji. I'm here, I'll pick you up home..."
The crying is depressing, but it is moving.
Fang Xing did not persuade him, so he left the room and found Jia Quan.
"How is Beijing now?"
"The martial law has been strictly imposed in Beijing."
Fang Xing's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said, "You know what I'm asking!"
Jia Quan lowered his eyes and said, "His Royal Highness summoned all the ministers to discuss matters, and then lived in a quiet room to eat vegetarian food."
"Where is Wanwan?"
What Zhu Di was most worried about before leaving were Zhu Zhanji and Wanwan.
Jia Quan said: "The princess is still hidden from the house and still doesn't know."
Fang Xing sneered: "Wanwan is so sensitive. How could she not know so many people in the palace?! Who are you fooling about?"
Jia Quan shook his head and said, "Brother, after learning the news, His Highness the Crown Prince summoned His Highness and ordered His Highness to come and pick up His Majesty immediately, so he didn't know what happened next."
