Chongzhen Undergraduates

On the seventh day of May, the 18th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (the second year of Yongchang in Dashun), Baoshi Township in the southeast of Tongshan County.

Emperor Yongchang of Dashun led the last [-] men, carrying a pile of heavy wooden boxes, and walked on Niuji Ridge with difficulty.The only few war horses were also climbing on the mountain beams with wooden boxes on their backs, and even the legs of the horses were shaking.

This group of people was exhausted to the extreme. Li Zicheng walked at the front of the line, the long knife in his hand had become a crutch, bent over, took a step, and panted three times.

The 39-year-old Li Zicheng is no longer the young man in his 20s. In addition to the fatigue and injuries accumulated over the years of fighting, he can no longer live and breathe while walking in the mountains, only accompanied by fatigue and pain.

Maybe Li Zicheng felt that his days were short, or maybe he was really unlucky. From Tongshan County to here, the straight-line distance was only forty miles. Li Zicheng and his men walked for two days and three nights.

In an inspection department not far from here, Li Zicheng and the others were intercepted by officers and soldiers. Even the officers and soldiers had only a dozen patrols plus the surrounding villagers, and the Chuang Department could not beat them. In the end, they were overwhelmed by hundreds of young men. mountain run.

It was during this battle that Li Zicheng lost contact with Gao Guiying, and it was also this battle that made Li Zicheng lose his direction, wandering around the mountains for a whole day and night, and even almost turned back to Tongshan again.

During these two days and three nights, the entire Tongshan went crazy, and countless villagers joined together in groups. Everyone had only one goal: 1 taels of silver, or [-].

"Your Majesty, this box is too heavy, why don't you find a cave and hide it first, and come back to pick it up when we come back later?"

Li Zicheng's chief guard, Zhang Nai, gritted his teeth with difficulty, supported the box on his shoulder with one hand, and unconsciously rubbed it with the other.

"Hiss!" Zhang Nai felt a burning pain in his shoulder, he pulled out his hand and looked, the palm in between was bloody, it seemed that there was still a lot of yellow water.

"Why? You can't carry such a few things? What's the use of raising you alone?" Li Zicheng was really reluctant to part with these things. Inside were the dragon robes he used as the emperor, the gold silk crown, and various ceremonial guards that symbolized the status of the emperor.

Li Zicheng can give up everything. According to the order, he first abandoned the refugees, then the soldiers, and then ran away from his wife.He didn't care about these things, he was really reluctant to throw away the only things he brought all the way from the capital.

(ps: If you are interested, you can look at the relevant records of CCTV, which indeed found a large number of emperor certificates and relics in this area. Such as dragon robes, gold silk crowns, gold books, and gold seals.)

Li Zicheng had a dream of counterattack. Li Zicheng had this dream for more than ten years. Although the dream was not fully realized, he left a lot of evidence to prove the existence of this dream. These evidences are Li Zicheng's heart and soul. .

How could he lose it?

The sky began to rain lightly, fine and dense, not too much rain, but after walking in the rain for a long time, I still feel that the clothes on my body will be heavy. This is the unique rain in the mountains.The thin drops of water were blown by the mountain wind, and people's faces were as wet as if they had been wiped by a towel.

A dull and long bell rang from the top of the mountain, and the sound was enough to reach beyond physics.

Li Zicheng was not far away, he was stunned when he heard the bell, the sound made him move his steps involuntarily, and walked towards the sound.

Jiu'er and Yang Jing had been wandering in the mountains for a few days. Although they didn't suffer much, they also suffered a lot.Jiu'er, who heard the bell, looked up at the mountain, and then began to pack her things. She suddenly wanted to worship the Buddha.

Gao Guiying was not far away, and she also heard the bell. She didn't bring many people with her, and she just wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain for a while. Since the village is not safe, the temple will be much better.

Li Guo, who was desperately rushing five miles away, heard a small voice, confirmed the approximate location, and hurried over with his men.

Zhu Youjian smiled. He had just arrived in Baoshi Township. For him, the goal was very clear. He was even familiar with the place names, but he just didn't know the direction, which made Cheng Jiubo, the leader of the accompanying landlord group, very confused.

Not only this Cheng Jiubo, but also Zhang Tongchang, who claimed to know every village in Tongshan, was quite surprised.

After hearing the bell, Zhu Youjian rushed out of the rain and fog immediately, and that was the direction he was looking for.How dare Zhang Tongchang lag behind, he picked up a knife and followed Zhu Youjian, and disappeared into the rain.

Needless to say, there were thousands of casual soldiers, all of whom followed in silence. Only Cheng Jiubo, with a group of noisy fellow soldiers, slowly and carefully hung up the team.

"Put down your things first and rest for a while. I'll go to the temple to worship." Li Zicheng and his party walked to the Xuandi Temple and got off their horses. Li Zicheng took a look at the plaque and decided to go in and worship, borrowing the gods to drive away his own Bad luck.

"Your Majesty, it's not safe for you to go alone, why don't we go with you?" Zhang Nai didn't dare to relax his vigilance, because they had already passed by several villages, and all they encountered were ferocious resistance, and there were no simple villagers. a feeling of.

"There's nothing to worry about. I'm not a frail scholar. Besides, this place is so big, nothing will happen." After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he went straight up the steps and walked into the temple alone.

Zhang Nai gave instructions to his companions, and walked around the temple gate by himself, intending to search the back.

The ground in the temple was very dry, and a soft futon stood in front of the statue's incense table. Li Zicheng knelt on his knees, clasped his palms together, kowtowed three times reverently, then propped himself up on the ground, and slowly got up.

Maybe he got up too fast, Li Zicheng felt dizzy, he leaned against the door frame, and slipped to the ground involuntarily.The sound of water dripping from the corrugated eaves was very rhythmic. Hearing this sound, King Chuang involuntarily closed his tired eyelids slowly.

After a while, the guards heard snoring coming from the temple, and they all relaxed. They sat around in twos and twos, and quickly relaxed.

Today's dream was very strange. Li Zicheng didn't dream of being the emperor, but dreamed that he was back when he was a child.

When he was very young, Li Zicheng also wanted to be a scholar, and then go to the Jinshi examination.This time the dream was stronger than that of Jinshi. Li Zicheng dreamed that his five sons were admitted to the imperial examination.

I saw the gold ingot rolling in, and the little daughter-in-law carried it in a sedan chair; no matter whether it was Yuanwai Zhang or Yuanwai Li, they bowed down when they saw him.

Li Zicheng smiled cheerfully, very sweetly.He dreamed that he was supported by two beauties and got off the tall horse ridden by the champion.It's just that the hands of the two beauties were touching his neck, which seemed a little cold.

King Chuang was startled, and suddenly realized something, opened his eyes suddenly, stared at the round eyeballs, and suddenly saw the two cold long swords on his neck.

A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. Although her face is covered, she is definitely not an ordinary woman just by her figure.Supporting is different. Li Zicheng was "supported" by two swords to stand up.

"Your Majesty." The guards also woke up, and they all rushed to the gate of the temple, and several accomplices of masked women blocked the door at once, and they were also a group of young women.

"Sure enough, it's King Chuang. Now I've caught him." A typical girl's voice spoke up. Li Zicheng knew that his identity had been exposed. can explain his identity.

"Girls, when did Gu offend you?" Li Zicheng calmed down a little bit, showing a very magnanimous attitude, and he seemed unruffled. He wanted to prove the majesty of the emperor. What the ministers said.It is said that Zhu Youjian has always been like this, and Li Zicheng has always wanted to imitate Zhu Youjian's style.

"Dog thief, do you know who I am?" Jiu'er tore off the face scarf, revealing a young face, staring at Li Zicheng viciously.

"Girl, you are so young, how can Gu recognize you!" Li Zicheng couldn't remember, but he had actually met Jiu'er once, but the young girl's appearance changed very quickly.

"You don't know him, so you don't remember me?" You walked over from the other side of the hill with a gloomy voice, and a man in his 30s surrounded him with a group of officers and soldiers.

"It's you? Why are you wearing such clothes?" Li Zicheng was stunned. This time it was a familiar face. He was very impressed. Every time he thought of a woman, this face would appear.

Chapter 197: Double Dragon Club

"I am Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty——Zhu Youjian. Why, is it surprising?" Zhu Youjian stared at Li Zicheng, this guy looked much thinner and older than last year.Zhu Youjian seems to have seen the image of Chongzhen who just traveled through last year.

"Then she is?" Li Zicheng pointed to Jiu'er.

"I pay homage to my father!" Jiu'er saluted, the standard couldn't be more standard.

Li Zicheng suddenly realized, looked up to the sky and screamed: "God's will! God's will!"

At this moment, a black shadow flew out from behind the god statue in the temple, knocked Yang Jing's long sword away, and pushed Li Zicheng along the way. Li Zicheng rolled over and jumped to the side of his guard.

Looking back, Yang Jing made a slash, and Zhang Nai tried his best to block it, but it was a woman, so the strength was not very strong.Yang Jing's sword was deflected and missed Zhang Nai.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Zhang Nai hurriedly blocked Li Zicheng's front, Ji Biao did not show any weakness, and immediately led several people to protect Zhu Youjian and Jiu'er behind him.

"Li Zicheng, I think you can be regarded as a generation of heroes, and you can be captured quickly." Zhu Youjian didn't care, he had enough people.

"Who is bullying my husband, first ask the sword in my hand if I agree." A middle-aged woman hurriedly rushed over from behind Chuangbu, and there were 30 more people in Chuangbu.

"It turned out that Mrs. Gao arrived, that's just right, our two families will settle the matter here today." Zhu Youjian still guessed who it was, and he was a little surprised. There is no history that Gao Guiying was there when Li Zicheng died. Beside.

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude to Emperor Dashun?" Gao Guiying helped Li Zicheng when he was old, and at this time he had to use his airs.

"He is Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, whom we all want to kill in our dreams." Li Zicheng's expression was very strange, another kind of indescribable exaggeration, in which there were surprises, regrets, disappointments, and annoyance.Anyway, all the flavors of life are reflected on King Chuang's face at this moment.

"Oh! Father and daughter want to bully my husband together, right? I, Gao Guiying, definitely don't agree." Gao Guiying was full of confidence. She directly wanted to equalize the status of both parties and elevate her status to be the same as Zhu Youjian.
