On the first day of the New Year's Day, there was a sudden strong wind and haze in Beijing, and the house was shaken and the sand was blown away, and there was an unprecedented civil and military chaos on this day.

Jingshi Wenchen generally lived in the west city, but the Chaoban was in the east, and the military ministers lived in the east city, and the Chaoban was in the west. On New Year's Day, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the dynasty very early, only a big Jinwu class, the bell was extinct, and the ministers were gone. Jin Wu said that maybe the ministers did not hear the sound of bells and drums, and said that the holy car had not come out, so the future.

Emperor Chongzhen ordered the bell to ring again, and wanted to pay homage to the temple first, and then receive the call of the court, but the horses used were not prepared, so they had to use the horses used by the court officials outside the Chang'an Gate. After he worshiped the temple, he sat down again and waited, and then the officials arrived one after another.

When they entered from the East and West Chang'an Gate, they didn't dare to cross the middle gate because of the face of the sky, Wenchen ran to the Wuban, and the Wuchen ran to the Wenban, all of them sneaky, all of them squatted and squatted under the cockroach, and their physique was lost. Even the rope of the new branch list of eye sects painted by the pet staff is also a turtle and passes through the martial arts class.

There is a wind earthquake, there is a chaotic shift, Emperor Chongzhen thinks that this is a bad omen, so he bathes and burns incense, his face is gloomy, and he prays silently: "Fang is in chaos today, and he wants the true immortal to descend, and bluntly says that the gains and losses of the country and the country do not need to be hidden." ”

He had to take possession, and it said: "The emperor asks about the affairs of the world, the officials are greedy and ask for money, there is chaos in all directions, and there is no smoke in ten places." Li Min suffers in the midst of suffering, and the situation is upside down. From now on, don't think about the peaceful year. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the poem, he was silent, unhappy in his heart.

On the third day of the first month, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Zuo Zhongyun Li Mingrui to see His Majesty, and when Emperor Chongzhen was in the Dezheng Palace, he routinely asked Li Mingrui if he could have a royal strategy, and at this time Li Mingrui asked him to retreat from the left and right.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised, but he still retreated left and right, and saw Li Mingrui walking on his knees, he walked to the front of the imperial case, and said with a solemn expression: "Since the minister was called, he has listened to the thief's letter quite evilly, and now it is approaching Gidian, this Cheng is in danger of survival, and there is only one strategy to move south, which can alleviate the current urgency!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen hesitated for a long time and sighed: "I'm afraid that the ministers will not obey." ”

Li Mingrui hurriedly said: "The destiny of heaven is faint, when the sacred heart is broken, don't worry about devouring the umbilicus." ”

He fell to the ground and kowtowed heavily, with a bang, knocking blood out of his scalp, and he said eagerly: "Please Your Majesty do not hesitate to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "The monarch is dead, where will I go?" ”

He also said: "This matter is important, and I will think about it deeply." ”

After returning to the palace, he gave Li Mingrui a banquet in Wenzhao Pavilion.

On the 11th day of the first month, He Gang, a person from Shanghai, said: "Loyal and righteous people are brave and brave, and there are Dongyang and Yiwu in Zhejiang, and there are many famous generals and strong soldiers in the past. The minister is familiar with Xu Du, a member of Dongyang, loyal and filial by nature, Su Yu Tao, knowing people at first sight, being able to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and begging to use Xu Du as a rate. Dongyi Hui She's two geniuses, the ministers are willing to run in cloth clothes, contact Xi to follow the Qi Jiguang Law, apply for detailed constraints, open the way of loyalty, more than one year old, can make the soup go to the fire. The ministers saw that Jinshi Yao Qiyun, Xia Xianyou, Tongcheng student Zhou Qi, Shaanxi student Liu Xiangke, and Shanxi Juren Han Lin were all worried, begging to issue an edict, and meeting the world's heroes, then loyalty, righteousness, wisdom and bravery, and rose up to help the emperor build a business. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see Shu, and the three departments of officials, soldiers, and criminals said: "Raise people He Gang to play, as much as possible, and the chief of the conferring party, that is, to order to Dongyang, Yiwu to contact the righteous brave, and train into a strong force, in order to suppress the Kou." He Gangyun also allowed He Gang to play, Xu Du and Yao Qiyun did what to do, and the ministry quickly discussed. ”

On the twelfth day of the first month, the cabinet Chen Yan completed the three-year examination and added a small guarantee, and the officials built a pole hall and a book in the shadow.

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jingshi, Lantern Festival.

Every year in Beijing, from the eighth day of the first month to the eighteenth day of the first month, lanterns are lit to celebrate the Lantern Festival. During this time, the nine gates are not closed, the golden drum shakes the sky, and each gate enters from outside the city with thousands of people, all of whom run to the city to watch the Lantern Festival happily.

This year is no exception, although it is said that after the thieves beat Xuzhou, they crossed the Yellow River to fight Yanzhou, but the life of the big guy still has to live.

Deshengmen is known as the "military gate", and has always been an important gateway for the military horses to march north, and the Beijing division to connect the north. In recent years, the sword fire has not flourished, and this most important city defense area in the capital has also become lively. Especially today is the Lantern Festival, and there is an endless stream of people entering the city, and children holding lanterns are bouncing around.

In the flow of people, I saw some people with fierce expressions and wealthy families, their pockets were bulging, and they formed gangs and gangs, and hundreds of thousands entered the city.

Seeing them entering the city, a small colonel muttered: "Why do you only see these people coming in every year, but not coming out?" ”

"The capital is full of thieves, and the defense is like a void."

A middle-aged couple in the crowd also talked and laughed and walked into the city, the woman was also happily carrying a lantern in her hand, she looked left and right, and seemed to be very interested in the excitement of Jingshi.

The couple was followed by two well-dressed people, one of whom was sturdy and not striking. One person is thin and small, and his body is like a spirit fox.

It seemed to hear the little colonel's muttering, and after entering the Desheng Gate, the sturdy Chang Sui said to the thin figure beside him: "The fall of the city is mostly caused by traitors. The ministry knew that the thief had opened a pawn to sell goods in Beijing a few years ago, and then took advantage of the order of the state to open the mantle, and the money was easy to use as a talisman. I even heard that the soldiers recruited by the Beijing camp had more of their party. ”

He sneered: "In the name of making a Lantern Festival, thieves are frequently divided into shares from the Nine Gates, and there are thousands of geometries in the city now. They lurk in the city, with hundreds of gold wrapped around their waists, the big ones buy generals, the small ones buy soldiers, and the ministry is greedy for their generous bribes, but they don't review it, this capital is ......"

At this, he shook his head.

The thin man beside him also sighed: "I heard that the silver on the waist of the king of Wuxi was cut off with someone, and there are thieves in the court, so you can know the current affairs." ”

This sturdy person is Cui Qi, a member of the intelligence department, Gu Yue, the thin man is Gu Yue, the man in front of him is He Jian of the rescue team, and the woman is his wife Chen. She is a native of Jingshi, and she has also been developed into an intelligence officer.

The Intelligence Department has a deep connection in the capital, and some prostitutes in Qinglou have all been developed into intermittent works to serve the Metropolitan Protectorate.

As they spoke, they walked along the flow of people towards the core area of the Jingshi. And the most essential place in the capital is, of course, on Qipan Street.

Here not only brings together the six departments of the imperial court, the five military governors' mansions, the palaces of the kings, the yamen of the brocade guard, but also the various shops that gather the essence of the Ming Dynasty. Go to Wangfu Street and Chongwen Street at both ends of Qipan Street, there are countless teahouses, restaurants, jewels and treasures.

During the Lantern Festival, there are lights everywhere here, the flow of people is like a tide, and the shoulders are rubbing the hub, gathering in Si.

The commercial buildings here are dense, in recent years, the more famous is a commercial building called Chonggao Building, specializing in selling the commercial goods of Xuanfu Town and Duhufu, the price is excellent, fashionable fashion, and it is quite sought after by the people of Beijing. However, although they are making money every day, which makes people red, there are no unsightly characters who dare to cause trouble.

Because the backstage of this commercial building is the general soldier of the Beijing Division, not only that, but there are also many powerful people who participate in the shares, so the commercial building enjoys wealth and wealth, and has never encountered a character who is not long-eyed.

And in Chonggao Lou not far from a slightly remote place, there is also a shop, the shop takes the boutique route, the goods sold are all fine, all are beautiful, such as fur only sells black fox skin, glasses only sells Xuanfu boutique, there is absolutely no Dongshi goods, and is favored by high-end people in Beijing.

At this time, He Jian and the others entered this shop, and saw a shopkeeper full of successful manly atmosphere greeted him, and then smiled and introduced the goods in the shop to the guests.

He Jian listened lightly, and while the people around him were not paying attention, he said softly: "A temple on the top of the mountain has a pot of wine." ”

The shopkeeper's smile disappeared, and his expression was correct: "Erle is bitter." ”

The two glanced at each other, as if there were thousands of emotions flowing inside, and then the shopkeeper moved his head, beckoned a calm man, and said, "Ah Fu, take the distinguished guest to the back hall." ”

Na Ah Fu nodded, glanced at He Jian and the others deeply, and said, "Distinguished guest, please!" ”

……

"Did you pick someone?"

"I have chosen, the Tsing Yi of the first opera troupe, the appearance and body shape are quite in line with the requirements."

"Bring it for me to see."

"Yes!"

……

"My lord, the prince is here."

"Okay, grab the line, let's go."

……

Outside the shop, Wang Desheng, who was thin and small, with a round face and white skin, and who was constantly inhaling snot in the cold weather, watched at the door of the shop, followed by a little eunuch who was cowering.

"Xiao Dezi, I heard from the palace that the things in this shop are very expensive, and they only accept cash yuan, I ...... I'm afraid I don't have enough money on my ......."

Wang Desheng waved his hand heroically, and his body that looked weak showed a kind of momentum: "Xiao Dongzi, it's rare to meet you little fellow, let's do it now, don't worry about money...... Moreover, I know the shopkeeper of this shop very well, and he will definitely give me a discount. ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of "distinguished guests walking slowly" in the shop, and saw several guests coming out, both men and women, all of whom had extraordinary bearing.

The little eunuch looked at the black fox skin scarf around the woman's neck, with a look of envy in his eyes.

Wang Desheng was slightly stunned, why is the figure of one of them a little familiar?

But he didn't think much about it, because the shopkeeper had already seen him and came over with a smile to greet him: "Yo, the prince is here?" (To be continued.) )
