An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong never dreamed that for the first time in her life, she would be welcomed by the people and officials of the country. Of course, the focus of people's attention was not on her, a concubine who was not outstanding in appearance, but on the shackles Nian Gengyao clasped his hands and rode on a tall horse to "return to Beijing gloriously".

"Beat him to death, beat Nian Gengyao to death. He is our shame and a traitor who conspired to rebel."

"His crime deserves to be punished, including the nine clans, so that he will be wiped out and never see the light of day."

People lined up in long queues on both sides of the streets in Kyoto, with long slogans in red and black characters on both sides.

"Down with Nian Gengyao, down with Nian Gengyao." The uniform voice echoed loudly.

An Lingrong looked around and saw a man standing on the high altar, waving the national flag of the Qing Dynasty and shouting cheers. He shouted a slogan first, and the people on both sides followed him, and the deafening sound hit the sky. Come from the land.

An Lingrong lowered the curtain of the carriage and turned around to see the emperor's hands clasped on his abdomen, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was not disturbed by the sounds outside.

After a while, An Lingrong heard screams and insults, and the sounds seemed to change from uniform to chaotic. She couldn't help but open the curtain and look out to see the excitement.

It didn't matter. The chaos at the scene startled her.

Many people could no longer control their emotions and threw vegetable leaves, eggs, meat buns, steamed buns, and long bones for dogs at Nian Gengyao, but Nian Gengyao did not dodge or dodge, letting them go. When it hit him, there were vegetable leaves stuck to his hair, egg liquid dripping from his chest, and minced meat from steamed buns hung on his clothes. . . . . .

The strange thing is that this person is not angry, but laughs very wildly: "Come on, you unscrupulous people, hit me, use a little force, this little move is like scratching an itch, come on, come on." ,Keep going."

The sounds outside continued to be noisy. It was not until the phoenix coffin dragging Concubine Hua's body slowly walked into the road that the boiling sound gradually quieted down. An Lingrong saw many people whispering to each other.

That's true, during the battle in Huaiyuan County, thousands of miles away, the person sitting on a tall horse and shackled was a living person. Of course they knew each other, but he was dragging an unknown dead person in a phoenix coffin decorated with black roses. , they didn’t know who the deceased was, but it looked like a phoenix coffin, and inside it was either a queen or a princess. But the queen was alive and well, so she must be the emperor’s favorite concubine. Nian Gengyao was so popular that everyone wanted to kill him. As for the people in Feng Coffin who were accused of illness, they didn't know the details, so the people naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

There were probably between ten and two hundred thousand people at the scene, but all they could hear was the sound of horse hooves and the rolling wheels of carriages.

After Nian Gengyao was "baptized" by the people outside the Forbidden City, little did he know that a greater catastrophe was waiting for him inside the city. When he entered the main entrance of the Forbidden City, he was blocked by guards. Of the five gates, only the west gate is where fights and troubles can occur without being punished.

Therefore, the fierce general guarding the gate, named He Yining, used his head as a guarantee to block Zhen Heng's 200,000 troops from the main gate. He also informed that at the request of all the civil and military officials in the court, today The east, south, north, and middle gates are not open, but only the west gate. Please ask General Zhen to take Nian Gengyao to enter through the west gate.

At this time, An Lingrong saw that Nian Gengyao's face turned pale and he kept wiping his forehead. He was probably sweating a little. The old guys in the palace are not as bold as the common people outside the city. Ever since Nian Gengyao took office, they have been risking their lives to sue him. After several years of suing, they still failed to impeach him. As a result, when A serious crime of supporting soldiers and treason was declared. The anger of many years is bound to break out today.

The west gate of the city opened from the inside to the outside. No one was standing guard on both sides, and it was empty and silent. But Nian Gengyao stopped moving forward. Zhen Heng said slowly: "General Nian, if you had known this now, why bother at the beginning~"

Nian Gengyao said: "General Zhen, please help me unlock the shackles. I can't die in the hands of those old guys."

Zhen Heng said: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way. If they don't say this, they will probably affect your family! Enter the west gate, I will keep an eye on you and ensure that you go to death row alive."

Nian Gengyao was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, General Zhen. Try to pass by this place as quickly as possible. The faster, the better."

Riders on horseback can only ride outside the city gate, and they must dismount and walk when entering the city. Nian Gengyao dismounted, took a breath, quickened his pace and followed Zhen Heng, and rushed in towards the west gate at an extremely fast speed.

It was silent inside. An Lingrong entered and looked up. The scene was really scary. Old people, young people who had just taken office, and people with crutches were all neatly dressed and lined up in an orderly manner outside the west gate. , blocking Nian Gengyao's way.

Zhen Heng said: "Borrow me a way, borrow a way."

All the people inside were motionless, and no one knew who raised their hands in anger, rolled up their sleeves, and shouted: "Kill this heinous traitor who is plotting rebellion. Today, he will be allowed to enter with his life, but not to escape with his life."

"Yes, beat him to death and skin him, don't show mercy."

"I've endured it for a long time, and I have to kill him today!"

I don’t know who took the first step. In an instant, everyone dispersed and rushed towards Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao ran towards the city gate with his head in his arms. He had been fighting for many years and his physical fitness was excellent. In an instant, he was with this gang. The veteran kept a distance, but Zhen Heng's soldiers who followed them in closed the west city gate, blocking Nian Gengyao's way.

With no other choice, Nian Gengyao had no choice but to turn back and was quickly surrounded by hundreds of officials. They tore off his clothes, and their fists rained down on his head and body. Nian Gengyao kept shouting: "Stop." , If you don’t stop, I’ll kill you old guys.”

As soon as these words came out, the public was even more angry, so they beat and smashed Nian Gengyao crazily until Nian Gengyao lay motionless on the ground, while everyone looked on, including the emperor.

I don’t know how long they fought. From the time they returned to Beijing in the early morning, they fought until after noon. At first, Nian Gengyao was running and avoiding. When he ran, they chased him. When he stopped, they continued to fight. Later, Nian Gengyao stopped. He ran again, stood upright, hit his body with their fists, closed his eyes tightly, until he could no longer support his body and collapsed. . . . .

The crowd gradually quieted down, and the scene was in a mess. Officials' hats and shoes could be seen everywhere. Their hair was disheveled and their clothes were disheveled, but their expressions were very satisfied. They finally let go of the bad breath they had been holding in their hearts for many years! A complete relief!

Just as they thought, Nian Gengyao died, and was killed by them, a group of unarmed civil servants, with their black gauze hats on their heads, thirty-two-layer official boots and cloth shoes on their feet, and their usually warm and soft hands used to write writings. He clenched his fist tightly and beat him to death!

The emperor let out a long sigh and said: "For today's matter, I exempt all the counselors and civil and military officials from their responsibilities, and leave as soon as possible! Find someone to deal with the aftermath, properly dispose of Nian Gengyao's body, and inform the world as soon as possible."

All the officials knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Holy Might, the Qing Dynasty will be forever solid."

On that day, Concubine Hua held a memorial ceremony according to the ceremony and was sent to the imperial mausoleum for a grand burial. A generation of famous concubines died.
