Chapter 516: Drink this cup to the fullest
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Jing Ju disdainfully: "I said that you don't have long brains, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty still occupies this city, can I enter the city so swaggeringly?" ”
"You people have been kicked in the head by a donkey, who knows。。。。。。" Jing Ju suddenly reacted when he said this: "What did you say?" You drove Tuhai away? ”
Cheng Xiaolian snorted and laughed: "Count you smart, don't believe you go to the street to take a look, are there still Manchu soldiers on the street?" ”
Aunt Jing understood what was going on at this time, and immediately grabbed Cheng Xiaolian's hand: "Last time I heard my son say that you are His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”
"Auntie, I am indeed His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty."
Aunt Jing remembered something again, quickly let go of her hand, and was about to kneel as soon as her waist arched, Wen Du Ruo's eyes were quick and immediately helped her: "Auntie, what are you doing?" ”
"People said in the drama that this highness is the son of the emperor, and he will be the emperor in the future."
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Even if I become the emperor one day, you are also my eldest mother, but you can't kneel and break my life." ”
Aunt Jing waved her hand: "Don't you dare, what is the identity of the old woman, how can she be the aunt of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will call me Jing's family." ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Auntie, my Royal Highness doesn't count, you see I'm being chased everywhere now, I just have a place to stand, don't treat me as an emperor, I didn't say this this time, I said to give your son a wealth and wealth, if he wants to live a peaceful life, I can let him lead a fat difference in the yamen, to ensure that he lives comfortably in Xi'an City, if he still wants to be a marquis and a general, then I have to lead him to the army, this new dynasty is just established, and everyone must be convinced to reward the officials. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the brothers below. ”
Aunt Jing nodded again and again: "No need, he used to be a fast catcher, if you talk to the people in the yamen, just say that he has been on an errand in the yamen since he was sixteen years old, and he will never miss the adult's business, just let the people in the yamen give him food." ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I forgot to tell your aunt that Lord Zhou, the prefect of Xi'an, has returned, and now he is still the prefect of Xi'an, you saved the lives of the two of us, and we must repay you." So you can choose one of these two conditions, if it's not a good choice, I'll choose the same. ”
Aunt Jing hurriedly said: "Just let him stay in the city, he hasn't married yet, but he can't go to war, otherwise the Jing family will be extinct." ”
Jing Ju suddenly said at this time: "I don't want to stay in the city. ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Why don't you want to? ”
"It's okay if the peaceful and prosperous times stay here, but now it's a war, if I stay here, there will be no way to protect my mother if something happens in the future, just like this time, I was dismissed from my official position, and I have to rely on my mother to support me."
Aunt Jing stretched out her hand and grabbed Jing Ju: "You can't be confused, your mother is willing to raise you, if you go to war, there are no eyes on the battlefield, in case you are injured, how can I explain to your father under Jiuquan?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "I understand, Jing Ju, you just stay in the city first, when will Aunt Jing hold her grandson, and when will you come to the army to find me again." Saying that, he glanced at Aunt Jing: "Auntie, are you satisfied with what I do?" ”
"Satisfied, satisfied."
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Jing Ju: "By the way, those brothers in the yamen, you can inform them to go back to the yamen to work, the prefect is back, so much work is waiting for them to do." ”
The news of Cheng Xiaolian's attack on Xi'an City soon spread to Chengdu, and the academy rested for a day, and those scholars all knew that it was their teacher who wanted to drink happily again, and they were happy to relax and hurry back home to rest.
Gu Yanwu sat in the room and picked up the already warm wine on the table: "We three old guys, we haven't been here in Chengdu for a long time, and we have drunk more wine than in the previous decades combined. ”
"Wrong, wrong, wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"The three of us used to drink a lot, either scolding the Manchu Tartars or scolding Wu Sangui, we used to drink with grief and indignation, but now we drink comfortably."
"It's really comfortable, don't hide it from the two, the old man has lived for nearly seventy years, before he came to Chengdu, he felt that he would die if he died in this life, and he didn't have any thoughts about living, he just sulked every day, but now he can't help but pray to the heavens, let God give me another three years of life, let me take another look at the scene of the Ming Dynasty's recovery of rivers and mountains, even if it is a glance, there is no regret when I die."
"Who says it's not, I don't dare to slack off my body and bones now, in order to be able to take another look at the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains before closing my eyes and redraw the map of the Ming Dynasty, the three of us are all people who have lost the country, who can think that we can see the scene of the revival of the Ming Dynasty in our lifetime, for this scene, I also have to drink this cup."
Huang Zongxi's face was full of joy: "Xi'an City, that is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, for our Ming Dynasty, second only to the two capitals, now Xi'an City is in our hands, enter the plot Shanxi to approach the Beijing Division, retreat can protect Shaanxi, His Royal Highness is majestic and strategic, and can actually include Shaanxi in the bag within a few months, it is really my blessing of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Two brothers, we can send a letter to those scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, when we said that we wanted to defect to Daming, their heads shook like rattles, saying that running thousands of miles is just a waste of effort, Daming's luck is all bullshit, someone wrote to me two days ago, saying that Wu Sangui was killing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, snatching money and food, and he still didn't escape in the end."
"Hmph, these people are all people who see the wind and steer the rudder, Da Ming Qiang will be loyal to Da Ming, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will immediately become their slaves when they occupy the country, if you want me to say, don't accept any of them, let them understand the pain in this."
"Now is not the time to sulk, our Ming Dynasty is in ruins, what we want is the silver of these people to help His Royal Highness fill the treasury, if we can win over one, Wu Sangui and the Manchu court will grab one or two less silver, and we will be able to build one more weapon."
"Brother Taichong is right, after so many things, we should understand this truth, although some people have no backbone, but the achievement of the great cause is still indispensable, we are these people are enough, but unfortunately the great cause can't help at all, can only teach in this academy, let's look at some, Daming can be revived one day sooner."
"Since the two brothers have said so, then I have nothing else to say, I will write to them today, His Royal Highness has taken Xi'an City, the world is shaking, and our Ming Dynasty should also recruit talents."
"Before His Highness leaves, let us take full authority to deal with the academy sergeant, in my opinion, how about we not Kaienke?"
"Your Highness is not here, how can you open Enke?"
"As long as Kaienke is open, he will be able to attract the world's scholars here, and His Royal Highness should come back at that time, how to choose and let him decide for himself, the most important thing is that we will pull people over first, the world has been in war for many years, and our Sichuan is really a veritable country of abundance."
