In early spring, Beijing is cold and windy, and it is still very cold. Outside Xuanwu Gate, there is a cheap shop in Jinling sliced skin roast duck shop, but it is crowded with people.

This Jinling roast duck with sliced skin is the predecessor of the famous Peking duck. Because the roast duck with sliced skin in Jinling is the cooking skill of the imperial dining room of the original Ming Dynasty palace, the flag people also like to come here. Over time, it was a restaurant when it was time to eat, and it was also a teahouse on weekdays.

Flag man Nuo Min held a birdcage in his hand and walked out of the smoke house opened by Wu Yingxiong. He didn't come home last night, so he slept in the smoke house all night.

Just imagine, after drinking, walking into the smoke house, sucking a bag of high-grade Eight Flags special offerings, the whole body is crispy from bones to nerves, and then enjoying the pinching of the beauty, and soon fall asleep, it is simply a fairy-like enjoyment. The next day, I woke up on the third pole, and when I woke up, I was full of energy, first pulled Xiaohong who was pinched for him, vented to my heart's content, and then lifted the birdcage to walk around the capital, not to mention how beautiful this life is.

Although Tuhai was punished by the imperial court for the fiasco of the Battle of Yucheng (Chongqing), Tuhai's eldest son, Nuo Min, still had a good life, with no worries about food and clothing every day, and there was too much silver to spend. After all, Bumu Butai is going to use Tuhai to deal with Minister Gu Ming, and Tuhai will be Kangxi's left and right arm in the future!

"Master, where are we going now? Go to Akon and they win back what we lost? Zhao Er, the clothed slave beside him, asked.

Nuo Min hit Zhao Er on the back of the head with a chestnut shot: "You still want to turn the book?" Those dogs are clearly working together to make us money! You dog slave played stupidly with [female] people last night, and you want to send them silver? ”

"Master, otherwise we will go to the cheap shop now, where the storyteller Yang Qilong is a must! There I drank tea and listened to books, and at noon, I ate roast duck with slices of skin. After eating the roast duck, we will go to the smoke house in the afternoon to refresh ourselves, and then go to drink in the evening. Zhao Er proposed.

"That's a good idea!" Nomin nodded, "You minion is still very smart!" In this way, I will reward you with Xiaohong's maid in the evening! ”

"Thank you, master!" Thinking of the little red personal maid, Zhao Er drooled. Although the master said last night that he would reward Xiaohong's maid to himself, the maid's heart was higher than the sky, and she refused to let herself touch it. Why, I think I'm a slave, and I don't look down on my master? I must settle you tonight!

The master and servant had just walked to the door of the bargain shop, but they saw that the three floors inside and the three floors outside the bargain shop were full of people, and it was difficult for the master and servant to squeeze in. I heard Yang Qilong inside talking from a distance, because of the distance, I couldn't hear what he said, but I saw that the flags in the teahouse were full of indignation.

Seeing this, Nuo Min shouted anxiously: "You guys get out of the way!" The master is the eldest son of the Hai family! ”

"The eldest son of the Tuhai family?" A flag man with a yellow flag sneered, "Tuhai has suffered a big defeat, and now he is idle at home, and he is already a lost dog!" Is the son of the Tuhai family amazing? ”

"Oops! It turned out to be the son of Nomin! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! One of them screamed angrily.

Nomin recognized the man, who was the son of the Aobai family, and his name was Dafu. Several times Nuo Min gambled with others, and Da Fu came to make trouble, causing Nuo Min to lose a lot of silver. Seeing that the son of Ao Bai didn't have a good face for himself, Nuo Min hated and secretly said in his heart: Let your dog be arrogant for a while! Wait for the day when Ama takes down your dead old man, and see how the master cleans you up!

A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stepped forward and bowed his hand to Nuo Min, "Son Nuo Min, please come with me, go inside and listen to the book." ”

The young man's name is Geng Jingzhong, and he is the son of Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan. Because the first emperor Shunzhi has given Haoge's daughter Caidie to Geng Jingzhong to marry, Geng Jingzhong must stay in the capital, wait until the princess is married, and be named Heshuo, and he still needs to be in the capital for a period of time, only when Geng Jimao is old and Geng Jingzhong is ready to inherit the throne of the vassal king can he return to Fujian. In fact, to put it bluntly, princes like Wu Yingxiong and Geng Jingzhong stayed in the capital as hostages.

Seeing that it was Geng Jingzhong who led people in, the flag people who were listening to the book outside all got out of the way. After all, the prince of Jingnan, coupled with the title of Heshuo forehead, ordinary banner people can't afford to offend.

walked to the teahouse and sat down in the private seat, but heard Yang Qilong slam the table with a "snap": "It is said that General Yild was martyred, and no one in Ningbo City can stop the thieves." Ladies and gentlemen, but the thieves don't want to slaughter the city! So he sent someone to find Fan Gongzi, only begging Fan Gongzi not to take the people as hostages. Who knows, but Fan Gongzi refused......"

Nuo Min was confused and asked, "What kind of book is Yang Qilong talking about today?" ”

Geng Jingzhong said: "There is a big incident in the south, don't you know anything about Prince Nuomin?" ”

"What's wrong?" Nomin asked.

"Haikou broke through Ningbo and slaughtered the whole city!" Geng Jingzhong said. With that, he took out a newspaper and handed it to Nomin.

"What? How could there be such a thing? Haikou is so bold that he dares to slaughter the whole city! Aren't they afraid of our Qing Iron Cavalry's retaliation? Nomin opened the newspaper, glanced at it, and yelled angrily.

"Because there is a reason for the incident, it is that Fan Gongzi who does not listen to persuasion and insists on taking the people as hostages, which is why he harms the people of the city!" Geng Jingzhong sighed.

In real history, Fan Chengmo was killed by Geng Jingzhong. In this time and space, Geng Jingzhong has no chance to kill Fan Chengmo, but he is very disdainful of Fan Chengmo's approach: You can't beat others, it's good if you go to martyrdom yourself, why use women, children, old and weak as shields? As a result, I hurt the people of the city flag to go to the funeral for you!

Nomin pointed to the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Where did this newspaper come from?" ”

Geng Jingzhong stretched out his index finger, clicked on the registration in the newspaper and said, "Then you still need to ask?" Didn't you see that it said Yangtze River Weekly? There is also a place of publication in Hangzhou, which must have been issued by the barbarian Haikou. ”

"Since it's Haikou's thing, is it true that what they say?" Nuo Min asked suspiciously.

Geng Jingzhong snorted: "There are quite a few Haikou conquering cities in the south, right?" When did you slaughter the city? Even the captives of the banner people are rarely killed, if this is not for Fan Chengmo to do this kind of thing, will he be retaliated against by the Haikou? ”

The children of the Eight Banners in the teahouse also had a lot of discussions, each with different opinions, some people said that the blame was on Fan Chengmo, and some people said that if Minggou didn't come to attack the city, there would be no such things. Some people in the Eight Banners were also extremely disdainful of Fan Chengmo's behavior, thinking that since they wanted to fight, they would fight openly, so why use such villain methods. In fact, these Mongols forgot that in the time of their ancestors, Genghis Khan, before the Mongols had siege weapons, they drove the other people's people to attack the city and piled up corpses on the city.

Yang Qilong, who was on the stage, slapped the table violently: "Then why did Fan Chengmo and Fan Gongzi pull up the city flag to accompany the funeral?" Because he knew that the thieves had given him a killing order, and even if he surrendered, it would be a dead end. Because of this, he would rather let the bannermen of the city accompany him to the funeral than listen to the advice of his opponent. ”

The flag-bearers in the audience were discussing:

"I see!"

"That's right, I've also read the book of the second minister to the world, and the Fan family is the first person on the list of Haikou must be killed."

"Then it would be nice if he died himself! Why bother to bring the flag to accompany the burial? ”

What happened in the south, through the spread of newspapers, coupled with storytellers such as Yang Qilong, and the banner people told each other, and this matter soon spread throughout the capital. The number of banner people, especially the Manchurian banner people, was originally small, and thousands of people were killed in Ningbo, and among the banner people in the capital, almost every household had distant relatives, close relatives, friends, or acquaintances killed.

"Go to the palace to find the emperor! Someone has to be responsible! "Some of the banner people whose relatives were killed gathered and clamored to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, demanding that the Fan family be severely punished.

But even if it is a banner person, it is not easy to enter the palace, without a certain official rank, grade, or status, how can the palace allow casual entry and exit? These flag-bearers who wanted to enter the palace were blocked by the palace guards, and they couldn't even enter the door. They can only convey their intentions through various relationships, allowing officials they are familiar with, eunuchs or palace maids, hoping that the empress dowager can hear their voice.

"Huang Mama, there are so many flag people outside who want to come in, what should we do?" Kangxi Xiao Mazi asked Bumu Butai Dao.

Bumu Butai touched Kangxi's head: "Good grandson, let them wait outside if they make trouble outside!" It's good that we don't know anything. ”

Kangxi asked again: "Huang Mama, just for Fan Xiandou a Han person, offended most of the banner people, is it worth it for us to do this?" ”

Bumu Butai didn't answer, and the question was very difficult for her to answer. If Fan Wencheng, a loyal dog, is slaughtered, then Hanchen will have ideas in the future. But if you don't express your stance on those flag people, how can you calm the anger of the flag people?

Aunt Su Mala said: "Lafayette, the emperor, in fact, don't worry about this matter, the slave maid thinks that Fan Xiandou Fan is so loyal to the imperial court, he will definitely have a way to solve this matter, not to embarrass us, and to calm the anger of the banner people." ”

Fan Mansion, Fan Wencheng, who originally wanted to enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, was blocked in the Fan Mansion by a large group of banner people, and he couldn't even go out. The subordinates of the Fan Mansion entered and exited the mansion, and they were also torn apart and even besieged by the angry banner people. There are also some banner people who organize their own clothed minions and take turns to guard at the gate of Fan's Mansion, and some people even set up sheds at the gate of Fan's Mansion, so that some loyal clothed minions live in it and keep an eye on Fan's Mansion.

In the study of Huangfu, Huang Ji opened the family letter brought by his granddaughter from the south, and looked at what the two granddaughters said in the letter that he was doing well in Jiangnan, so that his grandfather should not worry. Naturally, the eldest granddaughter mentioned it again in the letter, hoping that her grandfather and uncle would abandon the darkness and turn to the light and stop being officials in the Qing court.

"This kid! Ay! Grandpa is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, how can he just leave? Huang Ji finished reading the letter, sighed, and put the letter on the candle and lit it. Watching the family letters gradually turn into ashes, Huang Ji was full of emotion in his heart: he even had to hide his granddaughter's letter, when would such a day be a head? But if you want to betray the court and go to the south to do things for the thieves, Huang Ji will never do it.

"Brother!" Huang Xigon's voice came from outside, "The capital is in chaos!" The flag people are talking about it! Something big is happening in the South! ”

"What's wrong? Isn't Ningbo broken by thieves? A lot of people died? Fan Gongzi did something wrong in this matter, if he wants to die, he will die alone, why bother to pull innocent people? As a member of the imperial court, Huang Ji naturally knew about the war in the south.

"It's not that simple! The imperial court has been helping the Fan family hide it, but now it can't hide it! The banner people in the capital know the cause of this incident! Huang Xigon walked in and threw a newspaper on Huang Ji's desk.

"What is this?" Huang Ji picked up the newspaper and flipped through it a few times in his hand, "It's not like the newspaper issued by our imperial court, but it looks like the newspaper of the thieves in the south." ”

"It's not Di Bao, brother, look at it, what is it called Yangtze River Weekly." Huang Xigon pointed to the headline of the newspaper.

Huang Ji flipped through the newspaper and smiled bitterly: "The thief's trick is indeed powerful!" I want to use the hand of the flag man to get rid of the Fan family! If they make this matter public, the banner people will definitely be dissatisfied, and the court will not know what to do with the Fan family at that time. If it is not dealt with, it is difficult to calm the anger of the flag people; If it is disposed of, Hanchen will have an idea. Moreover, the hand of the thief can also make the officials who defend the city in the future dare not use the people as hostages. ”

Huang Xigon sighed: "Actually, Fan Gongzi is also a way to follow the battle of Xinhui to defeat the Western Thief Li Yi!" It's a pity that he underestimated Wang Rebellious's ruthlessness! Wang Wei not only opened fire on his own people, but also slaughtered the whole city! In the future, if Wang Reverse attacks other cities, who else will dare to use this trick? ”

"This is also Fan Gongzi's mistake, the people in the city are also the people of my Qing Dynasty, how can they be taken hostage? However, brother, no one will dare to use this trick in the future, and the decision of the brother may not be. If Wang goes to fight Xinhui, I don't know what will happen to the defenders of Xinhui? Huang Jidao.

"Xinhui is a voluntary help of the people to help the officers and soldiers defend the city, which is completely different from Ningbo! If the king counterattacks Xinhui, maybe the people in the city will be bombarded by cannons! Huang Xigon shook his head and said.

That night, Fan Wencheng, who originally planned to enter the palace overnight, had no chance to leave his mansion at all, and the outside was all the clothed servants of the banner people watching, and anyone who left Fan's mansion would be stopped by them to check, to make sure that it was not Fan Wencheng who went out, or to check whether the sedan chair of the vehicle had a mezzanine, but he was afraid that Fan Wencheng would hide inside. In fact, don't talk about Fan Wencheng, even Fan Wencheng's other sons, Fan Chengyin, Fan Chengxun and Fan Chengbin, don't want to leave the house.

The clothed minions were loyal to their duties, staring at the Fan Mansion, and only allowed the subordinates in the Mansion to go out to buy things, and Fan Wencheng and his sons didn't want to leave.

The next morning, in front of the morning court, except for Fan Wencheng, all the civil and military officials arrived. The noon gate beats the drum, and the ministers of civil and military affairs line up to enter from the left and right sides of the noon gate, and are arranged on both sides of the Taihe gate according to the grade.

Note: Yang Qilong is also a cow, he doesn't waste words to explain, and he can Baidu by himself. (To be continued.) )
