On the day of Qin Mu's class, Wuchang City was empty of thousands of people, gongs and drums were noisy, the officials and people in the city were far away for twenty miles, and the road was sandwiched to meet the triumphant army, the ribbons fluttered, the drums and music were played, and it was extremely warm and grand.

Qin Mu was dressed in Xuan armor, with a giant sword hanging from his waist and rode his horse forward, followed by Xiang Shangyi, these outstanding battle heroes, who were dressed in red flowers and rode black handsome horses, and were the first to receive the cheers like a wave.

The people did not hesitate to express their enthusiasm, and the strong liquor, sweet fruits, and tearful calls were all given to the heroes who protected their homeland from the tartars.

Escorted to Zuihou were nearly 2,000 Tartars, and these two thousand were only representatives of all the captives, who came to smash rotten eggs and rotten vegetables on behalf of other Tartars.

Two thousand people were strung into two large strings by long ropes, each with a smooth head reflecting the sun, and a rat's tail on it, the people of Wuchang felt extremely ugly when they saw it, and they were more fortunate that they were in the blessing and were not ordered by the Tartars to shave such an ugly head.

Now it's not just rotten eggs and rotten vegetables, but even the shit and cow rice are packed by the people, and they are smashed in the face of the tartars, and the insults are no lower than the cheers of the soldiers who greeted them just now, and even the six or seven-year-old children pick up the stones and smash them while scolding.

The bold Yun Qiao'er, regardless of the thousands of people watching, ran to Qin Muma, laughed, cried, laughed with crying, cried with laughter.

"Girl, who eats the bear's heart leopard dares to bully you?"

"No Woo Woo"

Qin Mu saw her laughing and crying, and his heart felt soft. Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan were wearing men's clothes and were also on the side of the road, but on such an occasion, they didn't dare to run out like Qiao'er;

To Qin Mu's surprise, there was still a person standing next to Li Xiangjun, also dressed in men's clothes, and Qin Mu recognized her as Bian Saisai at a glance. He nodded to her with a smile, Bian Saisai didn't have a little twist, just like a man, and returned him generously.

Qin Mu nodded again, and then turned back to Yun Qiao'er and said, "Okay girl, don't cry, let's go home together."

"Qiao'er?" A hurried cry suddenly came from the crowd, Qin Mu and Yun Qiao'er turned their heads at the same time, and saw that it was a man in his forties, and Yun Qiao'er saw him. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly, and he ran to Qin Muma's side all of a sudden.

"What's wrong, Qiao'er? Childe is here, don't be afraid. While comforting her, Qin Mu signaled to Niu Wanshan, Niu Wanshan was about to act, but Yun Qiao'er said: "Childe, it's okay, don't hurt him, I don't know him." ”

The roadside was crowded with people who had come to welcome them. Most of them found something abnormal, and the cheers were much smaller, so Qin Mu didn't ask again, and immediately picked up the little girl on the horse. Continuing to enter the city, the man saw this scene, showed a look of surprise, and then disappeared into the crowd.

After the grand welcome ceremony. Qin Mu agreed that Sima An and the others would discuss in the afternoon.

Sima An, Shao Hua and others went to handle the rewards of meritorious soldiers and the bereavement of the war dead;

Then there is the disposal of the captured victories, this time not only a large number of swords, guns, armor, gold and silver treasures, but also a large number of war horses. From Shang Kexi's side alone, the number of captured war horses was more than 20,000, which was a major gain for the Qin army and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Qin Mu went back to the back garden to freshen up and take a break.

The back garden of the Chu Palace, the green shade hangs down, the palaces overlap, the corridor twists and turns, the pool is microwave, it is a little cool, after Qin Mu showered, he changed into a set of wide-sleeved Confucian shirts with a collar and came to the study.

Yan Gaofei immediately entered, whispered to him and reported: "My lord, it has been investigated, that person's name is Yunyun, the word is right, he is Gao Guiying's subordinate, he just arrived in Wuchang today, and he stayed at the Mingfeng Inn in Nanchu Lane, with twenty followers."

"Cloud, Gao Guiying?" Before Yan Gaofei finished speaking, Qin Mu had already muttered to himself.

"Adult"

"Have you found out where this cloud is from?"

"This adult, the villain came in a hurry, and he hasn't found it yet, so his subordinates will ask someone to investigate."

"Well, make sure to find out about this person, go quickly."

"Whoa!" Yan Gaofei then took out a crumpled piece of white paper from his arms, handed it to Qin Mu and said, "My lord, this is news from Nanjing. ”

"Well, go ahead."

After Yan Gao flew out, Qin Mu took a cup of tea and gently sprayed it on the white paper, revealing lines of pale yellow fly-headed small characters.

Li Xiangjun held a small fan in her hand, dressed in a moonlight skirt, slender as the moon, and knocked on the door outside the study.

"Xiang'er come in." Qin Mu looked at it with a smile, but she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Master, Qiao'er's girl won't say anything, it's better for you to ask yourself, I can't do anything about him."

This was in Qin Mu's expectation, Qiao'er's mouth was not something that anyone could sled, Qin Mu reached out and hugged her, Li Xiangjun's soft jade body, intoxicating body fragrance, made him can't help but lower his head and kiss her on the forehead.

"Well, I'll ask later? What about your sister Bian, when did she arrive in Wuchang? ”

"She arrived when the lord led the army to leave Hanyang, and she was reading a book in the West Garden Water Pavilion, does the lord want to see Sister Bian?" Li Xiangjun's delicate body leaned on his arms, stood on tiptoe to hold Qin Mu's neck, and her pretty and dizzy face rose slightly, like a peony with smoke and dew.

"Let's talk about it in the evening, I'll have to go ahead to discuss matters after a little rest, and you prepare a sumptuous banquet in the evening, and then call your sister Bian, and let's have a formal meal together."

"Okay, in order to celebrate the master's victory, the slave has to cook and cook himself, what does the master want to eat?"

"Master, I just want to eat you." Qin Mu said, a hand gently stroking her delicate body.

Li Xiangjun's eyes were like water, and he quickly passed over his face, and then lowered his head with a red face and said, "Master, the slave is down to business, what kind of food does the master want to eat, the slave will prepare it for you." ”

"Just pick what you're best at." Qin Mu said and carried her to the desk and sat down, pointed to the yellow handwriting that appeared on the soaked white paper and said, "Xiang'er copy it in ink, and I'll take it out for them later." ”

"Oh." Li Xiangjun responded lightly, and immediately picked up the pen and copied it, her handwriting was originally very good, but Qin Mu's gentle caress on her body made her breath gradually shorten, and it was inevitable that the pen was a little uncomfortable. "Sir, you"

"It's fine. Go on, just don't miss a word, and it's not a love letter. Xiang'er, you've lost weight. Qin Mu found that her slender waist seemed to be thinner, and she couldn't hold it, maybe she hadn't slept peacefully these days.

After Li Xiangjun finished copying, Qin Mu and her kept warm for a while, and then hurried to the main hall of the Chu Palace.

Zhuge Min, Li Yuan, Yang Shen, Bai Tie, Li Mingtang, Wu Jinxi, Gu Yinxi, Sima An, Li Yuan, Gu Junen, He Liang, Shao Hua, Song Yingxing, Gu Yanwu, Huo Sheng and other twenty or thirty people, such as Wenwu Rank. As soon as Qin Mu entered the hall. Everyone bowed and said in unison, "Welcome to your lordship!" ”

Not only was the meeting held in the newly renovated main hall, but it was unprecedented for the people to be so pompous.

And it was the first time that Qin Mu had not worn an official uniform to go in and out of such an occasion.

He was dressed in a Confucian shirt, with a huge sword hanging from his waist, and walked into the hall widely, and he only calmly said "No courtesy" to everyone with such a solemn salute. And he went to the big chair at the top.

All this is enough to show that they have reached a certain tacit understanding with each other.

In fact, with the wit of Sima An and others, Qin Mu sent back orders. When they were asked to greet the triumphant army with ceremonies and focus on promulgating good news to all parts of Huguang and Jiangxi, they could be sure that Qin Mu had made a decision.

Qin Mu sat down on the big chair, and everyone saluted again. Qin Mu nodded and said, "Excuse me, now that the army is still fighting with the Tartars, we don't have time to be more polite." On the same day, the king of Lu and the king of Tang declared the prison country, and both sent edicts. Who is in favor of the bottom line, and what opinions everyone holds, you might as well speak out today. ”

Gu Junen served as the representative of the attached Dashun Army. He is the one who is most unwilling to see Qin Mu support the descendants of the Zhu family again, because they are burdened with the great crime of "killing the king".

He came out first and said: "My lord, since Hongwu split the earth, the country within the country has been the cause of the Ming Dynasty's burial. First, King Yan raised an army to seize the throne, and the civil war lasted for four years, causing countless deaths to the people. Later, the king of Anhua and the king of Ning rebelled;

The other kings are also not as good as the generation, most of them are unlearned, arrogant and lascivious, and some are even inferior to beasts, and Zhu Jianxiao, the king of Jing, starved to death his mother and killed his brother and took his concubine. Zhu Shouhong, the king of Lu, prostituted and stayed at prostitutes, and the men and women sat naked and shameless, and dared to resume the punishment of cannon branding and mutilate the good;

The world of the Ming Dynasty, all over the palace, since Wanli, the Ming court has less than 20 million stones of grain and rice, and the annual expenditure of each royal palace is nearly 9 million stones, accounting for forty percent of the imperial court's annual income;

This is still secondary, and what is even more outrageous refers to the fact that the royal palaces knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow, burned, killed, and plundered, and expropriated the people. Take the blessed king Zhu Changxun as an example, invade the fishermen and do bad things. Occupying millions of acres of land and hundreds of millions of family wealth, when Luoyang was besieged, he refused to take out a tael of silver to reward the army.

The Ming court had a meager income, and it was not allowed to take out forty percent of the rice to support these unscrupulous feudal sects every year, and the northwest disaster was incapable of relief, and the three salaries were constantly apportioned, so that the people of the world were not able to make a living, and the people were miserable, so they rebelled in all directions;

In addition, the rectification and corruption, the party struggles continued, and the courtiers were busy fighting each other, until Hu Lu drove straight in, slaughtered my people, and ruined my clothes; My lord, the people's hearts are irreversible, the Ming Qi is exhausted, and if you barely maintain the country of the Zhu family, you will not only lose the country, but also the world!

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, adults govern Huguang Jiangxi, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's livelihood is rich; The military discipline is strict, well-trained, morale is high, and the battle is sure to win, and the soldiers and civilians of the two places all worship the adults as gods and support them;

Now that Hu Lu is raging, peeking into my China, when the world is in danger, the adults are looking forward to returning, and they should raise their arms and shout, gather the people with lofty ideals in the world, drive out the Tartars, and restore China. ”

Gu Junen gushed endlessly, laid out the facts, reasoned, and strongly supported Qin Mu, he summed up the reasons for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, and pointed the finger at the grandson of the Zhu family, the purpose was naturally to not want Qin Mu to support the descendants of the Zhu family again.

It's just that what he said is indeed the truth, the Zhu family has long lost the hearts of the people, and when Li Zicheng went east to Yanjing, the military and civilian gentry, especially the lower-class people, were waiting to welcome King Chuang, these phenomena are the most haode explanation.

Li Zicheng is not a first-class Koer, and the people are still looking forward to it, and they abandon the Ming Court like a piece of ruin, which is enough to reflect the people's back!
