Chapter 494: Thousands of troops enter the capital
Emperor Aoki was now home like an arrow.
In fact, he didn't know much about the situation in the capital.
But I was so tired that I was so anxious that I was so tired.
Everyone rode their horses for more than an hour, and the things on both sides were gradually becoming familiar with each other.
Emperor Tianqi was really unbearable and almost fell down immediately after a daze.
Zhang Jingyi was worried, but in fact he couldn't bear it, so he said, "Your Majesty, if you continue to do this, I'm afraid that your Majesty will be exhausted and will not be at ease when you arrive in the capital. There is a pier ahead, which connects the waterway from the capital to Tongzhou. Why don't we get off the horse and take a boat to Beijing? "
Emperor Apocalypse wanted to wave his hand, but Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "I will take dozens of people to protect His Highness on a boat, and the rest will ride towards the capital as usual. Your Majesty will not delay."
Emperor Tianqi sighed, "I didn't expect that I was old and could not compare to these men in the military academy."
Zhang Jing couldn't help thinking, she was only twenty-seven or eight years old, so she dared to say she was old.
Of course, Emperor Aoki often stayed up late, and these days, he did consume a lot of physical strength.
After all, the body of this age is not as good as that of the 18 or 19-year-olds.
So, Zhang Jingyi summoned the instructors from each team and asked them to continue to march towards the capital. Zhang Jingyi led a small team of people to protect Emperor Tianqi to the dock several miles away.
The group of people wrapped in coats and abandoned their horses directly, and then searched for the boatman.
What boarded was a black-sailed boat.
The waterway here was originally a waterway excavated after the canal in the south reached Beitongzhou. It mainly allowed goods from Beitongzhou and various fruits and vegetables from the capital to enter Beijing. It originally only took official ships, but civil ships began to be allowed during the Hongzhi period.
This black-sailed boat is not small, and more than a dozen people board the boat, which is still more than enough.
But these dozen people wrapped in strange gray coats boarded the ship, which made people look at it a few more times.
To be honest, this thing is not like a military uniform, at least it is different from the standard armor of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, no one suspected that they were officers and soldiers.
What's more, the guards had all given up muskets, but they were wrapped in short knives. Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi's coats had a short gun.
After boarding the ship, the boatman smiled and said, "Why didn't the guest officials prepare a filial piety belt when they enter Beijing?"
After saying this, Emperor Tianqi did not react for a moment and couldn't help but say, "What kind of filial piety?"
The boatman laughed and thought they were country boys from nowhere, and said, "It's the time for the national mourning. If you don't have a white belt around your waist, you're afraid that someone will not give it convenience when you arrive in the capital."
When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he was immediately furious.
Isn’t this the world considered him dead?
Emperor Tianqi naturally said angrily: "It's not my family that has died, so why are you criticized and filial piety? If anyone of your family dies, you will be responsible for your mourning."
As he said this, the boatman suddenly showed anger.
The other passengers couldn't help but look a little angry.
But seeing that Emperor Tianqi has many people and strong men, he naturally dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
"Ah hahaha..." Someone laughed.
Everyone looked at the man.
But I saw a scholar with a scholar in a stern turtle and a scholar-in-law, sitting at the stern of the boat, and a child servant stood beside him.
The scholar shook his fan and laughed: "This virtuous brother is so bold. I have cooked tea here, why not talk about it?"
This scholar has a clear southern accent when he hears it.
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi and reached the stern of the boat with Zhang Jingyi. The scholar took a cushion and sat cross-legged.
But I saw the boy servant beside me, very handsome, and at this time I was carrying a copper stove. The charcoal in the copper stove was burning red. Then I took a small pot and put it on the charcoal stove to make tea.
Emperor Tianqi glanced at the other party, but the other party shook a folding fan and looked at Emperor Tianqi, saying, "Your virtue isn't you afraid that the factory guards will listen to what you said just now?"
Emperor Apocalypse sneered: "What am I afraid of?"
"Okay, okay." The scholar clapped his hands and said, "My brother is indeed a straightforward person. These words are so satisfying. I see that there are so many people in the world who dare not speak out. Everyone hates this hawk and dog. The death of the emperor may not be a bad thing. It can be seen that everyone is happy, but they have to endure the grief on their faces. It is really ridiculous. This time, it is really interesting to meet a wonderful person like Mr. "
Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but look at each other, looking at each other.
Originally, Emperor Tianqi hated that someone actually thought he was dead, so he couldn't help but feel angry, so he naturally cursed a few times, but unexpectedly...
Zhang Jingyi immediately came to his mind... Fishing law enforcement.
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Does sir hate the emperor too?"
"It should be called Emperor Daxing." The scholar said, "It is the dead emperor."
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Jingyi. Seeing that Zhang Jingyi's fair skin was a pretty young man, he saw that he was a well-maintained young man. He said, "This great emperor protects the hawks and dogs, harms the people, and competes for profit with the people. Who doesn't hate him in the world?"
When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he felt extremely hatred and wished he could kill this guy off the ship immediately.
However, Zhang Jingyi secretly pulled Emperor Tianqi on the back in the dark, but smiled and said to the scholar: "I don't know where the sir is from, what are you doing in the capital?"
The scholar said, "My name is Zhang Wen, from Nanzhili. I certainly want to find opportunities when I enter Beijing this time."
“Looking for opportunities?”
This person named Zhang Wen is very straightforward to study. Obviously, this time, I felt that I met his kind, so I was particularly talkative and did not hide it from Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi.
"Don't you know that the world is about to change?"
"The world is going to change? What are you talking about the new policy?" Zhang Jingyi said in surprise.
Zhang Wen laughed and said, "Seeing that you are young and don't know anything. People say that people are dead and the country's policy will stop. If people die, the national policy he implemented during his lifetime will naturally disappear. Where will there be any new policies now? Let me tell you good news. It won't take long, gentlemen will come to power. The emperor and the Duke of Liao are both dead. Wei Zhongxian, the old dog, is just surviving. If it doesn't take long, they will naturally die."
Emperor Apocalypse: “…”
Zhang Jingyi said curiously: "Who will come on stage?"
"Of course, they were the gentlemen who were attacked by the Wei thieves and the Emperor Daxing stayed away from."
"Oh." Zhang Jing said: "Are you that gentleman?"
Zhang Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am not lucky. Although I was a scholar, I have always failed the college entrance examination, so of course I can't become an official."
"But……"
"A gentleman naturally needs a staff member when he enters the court. I will go there first to move in the capital and choose a promising husband, so that he can be his guest in the future."
Zhang Jingyi suddenly realized that this guy...is really... those gentlemen came first before they came to Beijing...
Zhang Jingyi said, "I don't think so. Are we all Wei Zhongxian's followers?"
When Zhang Wen heard Zhang Jing mention that Wei Zhongxian did not call him Jiu Qiansui, but called him Wei Zhongxian's name directly, he immediately showed relief and joy.
Zhang Wendao: "As the saying goes, his rise is rapid, his death is sudden. You don't know that Wei Zhongxian was able to gain power because he relied on Emperor Daxing. Now that Emperor Daxing is dead, how can he still leave his name?"
After saying that, Zhang Wen lowered his voice and continued, "How do you think Emperor Daxing died? By chance, the news of his death was heard shortly after he came out of seclusion. What does this mean? Death was so strange, it was clearly... there was a plan! Emperor Daxing could die, and Duke Liao could die, and he, Wei Zhongxian, could he still live? I think today is the throne ceremony, but Wei Zhongxian... I'm afraid that the life of the dog will be lost."
Emperor Tianqi seemed to be too angry, but now he is no longer angry, but instead gradually calms down.
Instead, he said, "Why is this?"
Zhang Wen calmly shook the folding fan and said slowly: "As the saying goes, hit someone seven inches. When Wei Zhongxian framed Zhongliang and harmed all gentlemen, how could this account not be counted? It was the time when the wall fell and everyone pushed him. Naturally, there were many people in this capital city who wanted to ask for his life and kill Wei Zhongxian."
"What about after killing Wei Zhongxian?"
Zhang Wen is quite good at it. I think he has been thinking about this for the rest of his life, so he calmly said: "From... I'm afraid the little emperor's life will be lost."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi felt a little sad, his face suddenly became a little solemn, and he couldn't help but say, "Don't you think this is ridiculous? What does this have to do with the little emperor?"
Zhang Wenzheng's rise of speech seemed to feel the anxiousness in Emperor Tianqi's words, and said, "This is because you have not distinguished the severity. After killing Wei Zhongxian, there is also a Concubine Zhang! Concubine Zhang is the sister of the Duke of Liao. It is said that his brother and sister are in great harmony. Your Majesty and Duke of Liao died inexplicably. I won't say that. There are also many wings under the Duke of Liao, Xinxian, Fengqiu... How many gangs are there? How many of these people have done new policies everywhere and killed? Therefore, these remnants must be eliminated at that time. But think about it, will Concubine Zhang be willing? If this little emperor takes power in the future, what should he do if he still cares about this? How can he teach people to feel at ease? So... according to my husband's prediction, I am afraid that the gentlemen will never allow it."
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but angrily said, "What are these words? Is the regicide called a gentleman?"
Zhang Wen was calm and calm. He seemed to feel that Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi were in a coincidence with him in hating Wei Zhongxian, but there seemed to be some differences with the young emperor.
So he patiently explained: "This is different. The gentlemen do this to benefit the people. It is essentially different from the traitor. This is what Yi Yin and Huo Guang did."
