Chapter 125: Escape from the capital

"Ziqi, putting aside the issue of eunuchs and military supervision, touching Gao Qiqian will definitely make Zu Dashou scared. This is no different from directly touching Zu Dashou. I cannot agree." Emperor Chongzhen regretted that he had nothing to do and mentioned the ancestral system. After thinking about it, he firmly turned the topic back and forth.

Zhou Shixiong did not continue to be entangled in the issue of the ancestral system. He just wanted to be arrogant and ruined, and did not mean to turn against Emperor Chongzhen. "Emperor, the culprit of Liaodong's decay was Li Chengliang, but the emperor had never thought about why Li Chengliang wanted to raise the enemy and respect himself? It was not because of the humble trouble of literary and nobles! Liaodong soldiers and generals arrived in groups[]

The army of tourists, where did the cause of this together come from? Didn’t the emperor see that the emperor did not see it?”

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhou Shixiong was tactful and did not continue to stare at the ancestral system and was still not angry even if he was questioned. "I understand the truth about Ziqi's words. However, governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman, and I can't be anxious." Emperor Chongzhen took out my famous sayings to support his position and planned to end the debate.

Zhou Shixiong smiled, "Jiannu has already reached the capital, and it is admirable that the emperor can still be as stable as Mount Tai. Since the emperor said he couldn't be anxious, then forget it. Anyway, the dead general has nothing to do with me, so why bother to be serious?"

Emperor Chongzhen was once again aroused by Zhou Shixiong's words, "Is it dissatisfied with me?"

Zhou Shixiong stood up and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen solemnly. Under Emperor Chongzhen's surprised gaze, he said, "The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of the Emperor. The subjects of the world only live in this country called the Ming Dynasty. They just change their names and have no impact on them. The only one that has an impact is the emperor."

"You! Crazy!!" Emperor Chongzhen did not expect that Zhou Shixiong would say something that didn't matter to the Ming Dynasty. This was even more excessive than disrespect. It was simply a rebellion!

Zhou Shixiong smiled at the furious Emperor Chongzhen, "Don't be angry, are I wrong about what I said? Did the Ming Dynasty three hundred years ago? Although there were not many families that lasted for thousands of years, there were always some. My surname Zhou can also be traced back to ancient times. In a sense, it is even longer than the inheritance of various dynasties. The Tang Dynasty had no Song Dynasty, no Yuan Dynasty, and no more. The people in the world still had inheritance and continued without interruption. I am right!"

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Zhou Shixiong with a sinister face. Of course, what Zhou Shixiong said was right, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand what Zhou Shixiong meant and wanted to express. He could only listen angrily and see what Zhou Shixiong had to say!

"The emperor treats the people as grass, what will the people think of the emperor? The emperor treats the soldiers as pigs and dogs, what will the soldiers think of the emperor? Most of the elite cavalry camps die due to their own plots. The emperor thinks the family and relatives of these people will think, what will those who know the inside story of this matter think? Next time when encountering this situation, will the soldiers fight hard to kill the enemy to repay the kindness of the king or turn around and run to protect their lives?" Zhou Shixiong made a big turn, just wanting to say that no one has the obligation to dedicate his life to you in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Shixiong said this a bit too much. Grass mustard against enemies and pigs and dogs against Chinese people. This is an adaptation of Mencius' famous saying. Emperor Chongzhen had read books, but how could he not hear it? "Zi Qi's words are wrong. I have doubled the rewards of meritorious soldiers and extra pensions to the warriors who died in battle. How can I say that I treat soldiers like pigs and dogs!" Emperor Chongzhen defended himself with anger. He felt that he had been wronged!

"The lives of thousands of soldiers cannot resist the head of a eunuch. I cannot accept the emperor's decision. Since the emperor has reason to protect these two people, I dare not force the emperor to force the emperor to approve me to resign from the position of governor of the Beijing camp." Zhou Shixiong took out the seal hanging around his waist and placed it on the imperial case. Last night, Fang Zhenghua sent someone to deliver a letter to him, telling him that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to cancel the position of governor of the Beijing camp. Zhou Shixiong had no intention of staying in the capital and had no interest in the title of governor. Today he brought the seal to the palace, just to find an opportunity to hand it over.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to take the title of governor of Zhou Shixiong Jingying, but he never thought that the goal would be achieved under such circumstances. Emperor Chongzhen looked at the seal bag on the imperial case and said, "Why do you have to act irritate? I promise you that when the time is right, you will seek justice for the soldiers who died in vain. What do you think?"

Zhou Shixiong had a great temper and Emperor Chongzhen was even older than him, but Zhou Shixiong took possession of human nature this time, and Emperor Chongzhen was not good at competing with him, and even gave up his crime of rebellion. It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen had done his best to Zhou Shixiong!

When Zhou Shixiong saw that he refused to resign, he accused him of his resignation. He sighed and said goodbye to Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen knew that Zhou Shixiong had a knot in his heart, so he didn't stay for too long. He sent Tu Wenfu to send Zhou Shixiong away. Zhou Shixiong is pretending to be sick now, and he has to sit in a sedan chair when entering and leaving. Even when entering the palace, he has to ride in a sedan chair, so he is seeing off.

When he returned to the inn, Zhou Shixiong called a few of his personal soldiers and ordered, "You go to Daming Mansion to find Qi Chuge and others, and ask my second uncle if he goes to Guangxi. If he doesn't go, he will give it to Lord Lu for help. Buy another hundred big carts and go to Xianghe City to take out the batch of gold and silver. Don't take those silk brocades, it takes up too much space."

Zhou Shixiong arranged a few personal soldiers to leave first. Yu Jiaao and others didn't know what Zhou Shixiong was thinking, so of course they didn't dare to say anything. After receiving the order, they left the capital. After arranging the personal soldiers, Zhou Shixiong asked Heiyunlong to come over. He handed over the four hundred personal guards to Heiyunlong. The original five hundred personal guards died in a battle after Bao Qiuqiao. After Li Xiaobin returned to the team, the total number of people was only restored to 400.

"What does the commander-in-chief mean?" Heiyunlong was very eager to have such an elite force to obey his orders, but Zhou Shixiong did so surprised him.

"Don't call me the Governor General. I have resigned from the position of Governor General of the Beijing Camp. In the next two days, I want to go to Chaoyangmen Camp to check out. Remember to pick me up." Zhou Shixiong lost the seal of the Governor General of the Beijing Camp. If he wanted to leave the city, he had to find someone to help. It was very cost-effective to send 400 elite cavalry in exchange for the help of Heiyunlong.

Two days later, Heiyunlong, Sun Zushou, Wu Weiying, Xue Bao, Shen Fu and others entered the city to invite Zhou Shixiong to visit the cavalry camp. In less than an hour, Emperor Chongzhen received the news. Zhou Shixiong stayed in the cavalry camp for a day and drank with his old subordinates for a day. That night, Hao Yongzhong, the new former captain of the guard of the military camp, sent Zhou Shixiong back to the city with the Black Cloud Dragon order. It was only a few hundred steps away from Chaoyangmen camp to Chaoyangmen. Three days later, when Emperor Chongzhen summoned the generals of the cavalry camp to discuss the management of the new camp, he found that Zhou Shixiong was missing.

"Where is the person? Why don't you report to me if you haven't come back for a few days!" Luo Yangxing became a punching bag again. How did he know where Zhou Shixiong went? Besides, Emperor Chongzhen did not order him to closely monitor Zhou Shixiong's whereabouts. Is this also his fault?!

Heiyunlong and others were even more confused. They were drunk by Zhou Shixiong's old wine. They slept all day and woke up but didn't see Zhou Shixiong. When Hao Yongzhong said that Zhou Shixiong had returned to the city, he naturally would not run into the city to confirm. The only trouble was that Hao Yongzhong was arrested by the Jinyiwei and asked for information. Hao Yongzhong was also confused. He sent Zhou Shixiong out of the city. Zhou Shixiong asked him to go back and he left. Then he knew that Zhou Shixiong had not entered the city!

"Fang Zhenghua, I ordered you to take people to Guangxi and capture Zhou Shixiong back!" Emperor Chongzhen originally wanted to send people from Dongchang to capture Zhou Shixiong, but he thought about what name to use to use the Dongchang manuscript? If these guys from Dongchang accidentally injured Zhou Shixiong, Emperor Chongzhen might not even cry. After thinking about it, he finally decided to use Fang Zhenghua. Fang Zhenghua was loyal to him and knew some of the roles of Zhou Shixiong. I believe that he would not hurt Zhou Shixiong.

Fang Zhenghua was the first person to know that Zhou Shixiong ran away. He had already discovered the problem when Zhou Shixiong sent five personal soldiers. He also learned from his godfather that Emperor Chongzhen had taken back Zhou Shixiong's Governor's seal. Fang Zhenghua believed that Zhou Shixiong would definitely do something. By the time Zhou Shixiong was invited to go out of the city to the cavalry camp, Fang Zhenghua had already guessed what Zhou Shixiong was going to do.

"Long live, what name do I use to explain to the family of my elders?" Fang Zhenghua asked this question very well. Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while before speaking, "Just say that Zhou Shixiong had no order to go out of the capital, and also brought his family back." Emperor Chongzhen needed a miracle doctor like Zhou Shixiong, and whether Zhou Shixiong was willing or not, he would do this.

Zhou Shixiong thought he was very important in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen kept him in the capital to borrow his military ability, but he did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen was so tolerant just for his medical skills. Both of them were expressing their wrong feelings, so naturally there was no good result.

Relying on the speed of two BMWs, Zhou Shixiong left the capital and headed south directly to try to return to Guangxi as quickly as possible. Along the way, Zhou Shixiong avoided the city of the prefecture, and only used the Jinyiwei nameplate to deal with the entry and exit of the level. A month later, he finally entered the boundary of Guangxi. In March, Guangxi was already in the season of spring, unlike the north, where the ice and snow were still in the winter.

After resting in Liuzhou Prefecture for two days, he kept rushing around, but he could not hold on to the horse. The little white horse turned gray and black, and the little red horse turned gray and black, and they changed their name to gray and black. After relaxing, Zhou Shixiong simply found a boat to go down the river, and only went ashore to take the land route when he arrived in Wuxuan. On the fourth day of the April 1st, he finally returned to Pingxiangzhou, which had been away for half a year.

Zhou Shixiong discovered that Pingxiangzhou has changed a lot in the past six months. First of all, the roads were roads. The official roads that were widened only the previous year were significantly widened again. The mountain walls next to the road have been manually trimmed to prevent landslides and mud from pouring out.

The second change is the river channel. The former river channel was covered with gravel and cobblestones. Now the river channel is covered with bluestone on both sides. The gravel and cobblestones on the banks are gone, and I don’t know who took it away. Zhou Shixiong came to the river channel to watch the river channel and found that the river water was much deeper than before. I don’t know whether it was because the river channel was dug deep or the amount of water was sufficient. He didn’t understand this knowledge, so he could only watch the fun.

I watched the whole way and saw the first checkpoint near Jiangshi Village. Zhou Shixiong walked over to queue up to see what the checkpoint was for.
