Chapter 43 Fire and Virtue

"His third uncle, have you heard? The Jianzhou Tatars led a hundred thousand elites to attack Jinan, but in the end they were burned down and the entire army was annihilated in Jinan!"

In the evening, although the nine gates of the capital were closed due to the invasion of Donglu, the teahouse was still open for business. At this time, most of the people who could come out to drink tea were wealthy people. The old man who had just sat down here

, before the tea came over, he said cheerfully to the old man beside him, his wrinkled old face was full of joy at this moment.

"Why haven't you heard of it?"

The old man who was drinking tea looked around, then lowered his voice and responded mysteriously.

"In the past few days, everyone in the city is shouting about this matter. Didn't you hear that they were shouting outside the city? Those Donglu were so frightened that they did not dare to go further south. They hurriedly fled outside the pass before the snow melted.

go back."

"Everyone said that those Donglu Tatars broke through the wall and massacred all the way, killing countless innocent people. This time, you can see the retribution is coming!"

"How can I say it's not the case? Didn't you hear what people said, that Dorobele Yuetuo had already destroyed Jinan City and was about to win, but he never thought that as soon as he reached the royal city, he would be defeated there.

It attracted sky fire, which not only burned the tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers who entered the city, but even Yue Tuo who stayed in the camp was burned to ashes by the sky fire that suddenly fell from the sky.

Every single one of the leading Tatar soldiers in the camp was burned to ashes. You don’t know, but the fire was so fierce that when it burned, even water could burn..."

The old man who spoke seemed to have witnessed it with his own eyes. He was talking about things he had heard from hearsay. He was laughing as he talked, and he was so satisfied.

"Not only Yue Tuo, but also Du Du. He heard that Yue Tuo was burned to ashes. He didn't believe in evil, so he led his troops to attack Jinan again. When he was still ten miles away from Jinan, a fire dragon came from the south.

To the north..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone corrected him.

"Not one, but ten. The first one burned their forward first, and the nine fire dragons behind them, working together, burned the Donglu's one hundred thousand army in one go!"

After saying that, the man smiled, then threw a salty pea into his mouth, took out a piece of broken silver, put the silver on the table, and said generously:

"Come, waiter, warm up six bowls of wine. I'll buy this wine!"

"Yo, yo, how can this be so embarrassing!"

The old man next to him, while being polite, also took out his hand and said.

"Here... come, waiter, add two plates of fennel beans and treat me to it. We brothers, today, for..."

Not daring to say it clearly, he tilted his gaze to the southeast, nodded and smiled.

"Jinan, what a wonderful place! That place is full of loyal ministers and righteous men."

The old man was not polite. He took the bowl of warm wine and drank it while talking vaguely.

"Let me tell you, our Ming Dynasty is a fire virtue, and with fire there is virtue..."

"It's a pity that we don't have any here..."

"It's not just nothing. What do you think this is?"

Another old man clicked on the wooden table and said regretfully.

"The five elements cycle, bad luck!"

These old men in fine clothes chatted with each other while eating. Although they had no scruples, their words were full of cryptic words. These words broke the cold weather in early February.

The wind is floating in the air...

Such words certainly cannot hide the eyes and ears of the imperial court in Beijing. In fact, there are no eyes and ears at all. Naturally, there will be those who are responsible for impeachment at every turn. Naturally, they will not miss these "hearsays", let alone

What's more, this also involves the vassal king's clan. Soon, the memorial about "Prince De's son claimed to be the god of fire and descended to earth with evil intentions" was sent to the palace and sent to Zhu Youjian, the Ming Emperor's case, who was originally defending the Tartars.

After entering Zhili, Shandong and other places, millions of people were brutally killed. After reading the memorial, Zhu Youjian was so angry that he kicked the imperial case in front of him to the ground.

Later, facing the servants kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youjian did not speak, but just stood there silently. He felt very annoyed!

Not just because the Tartars invaded and the people were brutally killed!

What made him even more upset was Jinan Defan. The performance of Zhu Ciying, the crown prince of Defan, was impressive, but it was like a loud slap in Zhu Youjian's face. Just thinking about the nine gates of the capital being closed now,

Zhu Youjian would have thought of the desperate counterattack in Jinan City and how more than 4,000 Tartars were annihilated inside and outside the city. If it weren't for the fire in Jinan City that not only burned down Jinan City, but also destroyed the people who entered the city.

If the Tartars burned them all, there would probably not be more than 4,000 Tartars - after all, the imperial court counted merit based on their heads. In fact, the eunuch Qing, who was in charge of the army, only counted the heads of more than 4,000 Tartars. Maybe it was for the sake of the imperial court.

face.

"The God of Fire descends to earth, the God of Fire descends to earth..."

Cursing in his mouth, Zhu Youjian wanted to tear the memorial into pieces. He didn't believe that there was really a fire god descending to earth in this world, but now not only the villagers in the countryside spread it like this, but even people in the capital city spread it like this.

How can I keep him from being upset?

"You actually said that the virtue of fire is not in the imperial capital, and that the five elements are not good..."

Once again, thinking of the word-of-mouth rumors among the people in Beijing, Zhu Youjian wanted to throw all those people into prison.

"Do they really think that I can't kill people?"

The eunuchs and maids who were serving the emperor's daily life were so frightened by the emperor's thunderous wrath that their faces turned pale. They fell to the ground and did not even dare to make a sound. Everyone knew that when the emperor in front of him got angry, he would say "God's power"

"It's so majestic. If you get closer at this point, even if your head doesn't fall off, your butt will probably be smashed to pieces with the stick, and no one will dare to say anything!

Wang Chengen, who was standing aside, saw that the emperor was so angry, so he softly persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, they are just a few ignorant people discussing government affairs. What do they know about the five elements? Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter is definitely not worthy of Your Majesty's anger."

Wang Chengen bowed his waist and said, as a confidant of the emperor, he usually had no scheming, and he couldn't even think of deceiving people. Naturally, he didn't know how to give advice to the emperor, but even so, he still said.

"However, this De Fan has made great contributions, and the imperial court cannot refuse to reward him. Your Majesty may wish to discuss it with the chief minister. As for this information, he should also show it to the chief minister."

Although he didn't know how to give advice to the emperor, it didn't stop Wang Chengen from leaving the problem to someone who could give advice, such as the chief minister. A knowledgeable person like that would always be able to give an idea.

Just as Wang Chengen finished speaking, there was suddenly a rumbling sound of cannons. The sound of cannons came from outside the palace and reached their ears. Zhu Youjian's expression changed and he asked urgently.

"This, what's going on."

Without waiting for the waiter to report, the faint shouts of thousands of people could be heard in the air.
