Chapter 649 What? I became the late emperor?
Ever since Zhu Qipao became Zhu Heji, Emperor Kangxi's fate has become quite unfortunate... He was "captured" once for no apparent reason, "died" twice, and sat down again.
The donkey cart escaped once, and all kinds of bad luck happened.
But not all of his misfortunes were related to Zhu Heji.
For example, this "martyrdom for the country" was "committed" by himself. If he hadn't had the intention of tricking his brother to death and eliminating potential threats, he could have taken Chang Ning with him.
If he had walked quickly after leaving Juyong Pass and not stayed in Xuanhua for a few days to deploy defensive capabilities. He could also have arrived at Guituan before the news of his "martyrdom" was sent out, then he would not have "died"
.
Of course, Kangxi also sent a messenger to Guihua City with a letter reporting safety... However, due to Burni's instigation, there was great unrest on the Monan Grassland during this period. Many people who originally belonged to Chahar
Mongolian warriors burned, killed and looted everywhere, and even attacked lone Qing troops.
As a result, the Chuanqi sent by Kangxi to report the news was unlucky enough to encounter Mongolian rebels on the grassland, and was killed.
So Kangxi thought that the naturalization authorities already knew about his escape, but not only did the naturalization authorities know nothing about it, they were also preparing for a grand burial for him!
On March 23rd, Kangxi, who had been delayed in Xuanhua City for several days, finally took his 7,000 elite soldiers (he left some to guard Xuanhua) and appeared in a mighty manner east of Guihua City.
On the Tumut River grassland.
At this time, the grasslands near Guihua City were dotted with large and small tents.
Most of the more than 200,000 people brought out by Kong Shenggong from Beijing now live in these tents.
According to the order of Emperor Kangxi, these more than 200,000 people still maintain the Eight Banners organization. Even those who were not originally under the Eight Banners are now included in the Eight Banners.
Therefore, there should be eight kinds of flags, but what Kangxi saw now was a vast expanse of white!
"Duolong, Xiaoguizi, take a look." Kangxi rubbed his eyes and asked his two confidants, "Why are there white flags in front of us?"
"Your Majesty, let me take a closer look." Duolong said, took out his telescope and started looking at it from the horseback, "No, it's not a straight white flag..."
"Your Majesty, there seems to be a big funeral!" Mr. Xiao Guizi also took out his telescope and looked at it, and soon discovered something was wrong.
"Yes, it's a big funeral..." Duolong muttered, "I don't know who died?"
"Big funeral?" Kangxi was startled, "Is it the imperial grandmother?"
Of course he would not have thought that he was the one who died! He thought it was his imperial grandmother Bumbutai who was going down to see Dorgon... Thinking of this, he no longer had the intention to hurry up and hurry up.
He picked up the whip and whipped the ocean horse under his crotch - this horse was sent as tribute by the Spanish envoy. It was tall, strong and completely black. Because it was a gelding, Kangxi called it the "Black Eunuch".
The "Black Eunuch" was sore from being beaten that he spread his hooves and galloped away. Duolong and Xiaoguizi also rode good horses. Although they were not as powerful as the "Black Eunuch", they also galloped and followed closely.
Go up.
The three masters and slaves ran wildly on the grassland outside Guihua City, and soon they arrived at the white camp.
The camp occupies a large area and is fortified. It is surrounded by a fence and a trench. The three masters and slaves rode along the trench for a while and found a camp gate.
The camp door was open, and a group of fully armed warriors in white stood outside the door. The leader was an old flag soldier, none other than Zhang Zhongqi.
This old man was quite lucky. The battle in Wulin was so brutal last time, but he escaped unscathed. Later, the counselors above saw that he was too old and asked him to go back to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, not long after he returned to Beijing, something big happened. The courtyard house in the second ring road was gone, the Zhuangzi outside the city was gone, and he even lost his Beijing household registration. In the end, he had to flee with his whole family.
Naturalization...there is really nothing left!
Although this old man suffered hardships when he was young, he has been living a good life since he entered the country with the Qing Dynasty. He thought he would enjoy happiness until his death, but he did not expect that fate played a big joke on him. Now he has become a "old man who has suffered a lot".
"!
"Who is coming? Password!" Although he has been "old and suffering", Zhang Zhongqi still worked very hard on his duty. When he saw Kangxi and his party were about to enter the camp, he quickly stopped him - Kangxi and others were only wearing ordinary yellow flag cloth.
A, so Zhang Zhongqi doesn’t know who they are.
Of course Kangxi didn't know the password. He just asked loudly: "Who is it? Who is missing?"
Although his words were a bit confusing, Zhang Zhongqi still understood what he wanted to ask, so he sighed and replied: "We are paying tribute to Emperor Daxing."
"Emperor Daxing?" Kangxi was shocked.
Daxing emperor usually refers to the emperor who has died but has not yet received a temple title or posthumous title.
If you want to become the emperor of Daxing, you must first become the emperor and then die. And it seems that the only emperor of the Qing Dynasty was Kangxi...
"I wonder what the reign name of the Daxing Emperor is?" Kangxi asked hurriedly.
"What else could it be? Of course it's Kangxi, it's Kangxi..."
"What? Kangxi is dead?" This was probably the news that Emperor Kangxi least wanted to hear, "But why didn't I know?"
"You? Who are you? Do I need to tell you whether Emperor Kangxi is dead or not?" Zhang Zhongqi had never seen Emperor Kangxi up close, so he didn't recognize him.
Kangxi thought to himself: "If this Emperor Kangxi dies, I must...not know about it!"
"What's going on? Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly..." Emperor Kangxi was already a little anxious.
He needs to know how he died!
After all, Kangxi was an emperor (during his lifetime), and he still spoke with great momentum.
Zhang Zhongqi immediately felt as if he had met the "big master". How could he dare to hide it? He quickly replied: "Reporting to this master, as far as I know, Emperor Daxing was hanged from the crooked neck tree in Jingshan..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Shut up, that's nonsense!" Kangxi shouted and interrupted Zhang Zhongqi, "My people have cut down all the crooked-neck trees on Jingshan Mountain!"
"Me? You are..."
"I am Emperor Kangxi!" Kangxi roared, "I am not dead! Who is cursing me..."
Emperor Kangxi was about to get angry when there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in his ears. He quickly looked back and saw a large group of white knights galloping towards him. He picked up the telescope and took a look, and found that the leader
It was Kong Shenggong.
Kong Shenggong was ordered to greet Prince Yinfeng - the sentries on the top of Guihua City saw Emperor Kangxi's large group of troops from a distance, but they did not know that it was Kangxi who came. Kangxi was "dead", so why did he come?
?So everyone thought it was Chang Ning who came to protect the crown prince Yinfeng.
So Bumbutai asked Kong Shenggong to lead people out of the city to greet him... As a result, Kong Shenggong was riding his horse and walking, and he heard the voice of Emperor Kangxi.
"Brother Shenggong, brother Shenggong..."
Kong Shenggong was stunned for a moment and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He quickly followed the sound and saw Emperor Kangxi flying over with a group of cavalry.
When Emperor Kangxi walked closer, Kong Shenggong discovered that the pockmarked face of the late Qing emperor was full of anger, which looked very scary!
"First... Your Majesty, you are not..." Kong Shenggong saw Kangxi clasping his fists and saluting on horseback, while saying something a little incoherent.
Kangxi was still furious and asked loudly: "What's going on? I, how did I become the Emperor of Daxing?"
"This, this is not because..."
"For what? Tell me quickly!" Kangxi roared.
"Because you surrendered after being captured by the Ming army..." Kong Shenggong hesitated, "Your Majesty, did you escape?"
"Escape?" Kangxi was stunned again, and then he remembered something, "Is it Chang Ning?"
"Prince Gong..." Kong Shenggong heard Kangxi talking about "Chang Ning" and asked, "Why don't you see Prince Gong?"
