The king of Zhou, Zhu Gongzhen, was in a very high mood. He was sitting firmly on the throne behind the big case. He was already sixty-two years old, but because he had always lived a pampered life, he still looked rosy and very well-mannered.
good.
The line of Zhou kings can be regarded as a unique anomaly among the relatives of the Ming Dynasty. The first king of Zhou, Zhu Ji, was the younger brother of the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. He was the closest to the Ming emperors.
The first king of Zhou Dynasty, Zhu Ji, built the "Dongshu Thatched Cottage" in the palace, which was used to collect books and teach the prince's children to read and study. Therefore, most of the kings of the Zhou family were relatively wise.
Moreover, Zhu Ji was deposed and exiled to Yunnan during the reign of Emperor Jianwen. He also understood the hunger of the people to some extent. After Zhu Di ascended to the throne, he ascended to the throne.
When Zhu Xi became the king of Zhou, he was very interested in traditional Chinese medicine. He believed that medicine could save lives and heal the wounded. He successively organized and participated in the compilation of "Baosheng Yulu", "Pocket Prescriptions", "Puji Prescriptions" and "Famine Relief Materia Medica", etc.
Medical books.
Zhu Youdun, the second generation king of Zhou Dynasty, was a playwright of the Ming Dynasty. Among the plays he created are famous celebrities such as "Li Yaxian Huajiu Qujiangchi", "Guan Yunchang's righteousness and courage to resign from gold", "Black Whirlwind's loyalty to wealth", "Liu Panchun"
"The Complaints of Shouzhi Xiangbao", "Han Xiangru Presents a Fu and Inscribed on the Bridge", etc. In addition, there is also a collection of Sanqu "Chengzhai Zaju".
As far as the Kaifeng defense battle is concerned, Zhou Wang Zhu Gongxun's performance is not even a little better than that of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun. It is simply remarkable. He not only provided money and food, but also sent his own warriors to directly participate in the city.
Shou.
Today, the three people most praised by King Zhou are Zhang Cheng, who came to rescue Xuanzang, Chen De, who shot and killed the intruder Li Zicheng, and Gao Mingheng, the backbone of Kaifeng City Guards.
What everyone talked about the most at the banquet was the attack on Liu Tichun in the north of the city, the battle between the Crock Pot thief army and Chen Yongfu's night attack. It was even agreed that two days later, the giant thief Crock Pot and five hundred old thieves would be killed outside the West Pass of Kaifeng City.
The bandits were beheaded together.
…………
On the day Zhang Xianzhong in Xiangyang City beheaded King Xiang, he sent a cavalry of 300 people across Nanzhang by a small road, and rushed day and night to the Xiema River southwest of Nanzhang to meet "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and his Cao Cao.
Camp thief army.
On the other hand, following Li Zicheng's example, he also allocated some of the money and grain confiscated from Prince Xiang's Mansion and the homes of wealthy households in the city to help the hungry people, in order to win over people's hearts, and took the opportunity to continue to collect mules, horses, grain, and large quantities of food inside and outside Xiangyang City.
Recruit hungry people into the army to expand your own strength.
Cao Cao's men and horses from the Cao camp were stationed near the Xiema River, waiting for news of Zhang Xianzhong's attack on Xiangyang. Yunyang Governor Yuan Jixian, who was stationed between Fangxian and Zhushan, did not dare to attack Cao Cao because of his small number of troops, but he did not.
It was expected that Zhang Xianzhong would use a surprise attack to capture Xiangyang.
After learning that Zhang Xianzhong had successfully attacked Xiangyang, Cao Ying's entire army was extremely excited. They set off overnight and rushed to Xiangyang to join forces with Zhang Xianzhong's Western Camp.
Zhang Xianzhong even held a grand welcome banquet in King Xiang's palace, one to welcome Cao Cao and the important generals in Cao's camp, and the other to celebrate the coalition's defeat of Yang Sichang and the attack on Xiangyang City.
At the banquet, the focus of everyone's discussion was Yang Sichang again. The bandit generals in Xiying and Caoying all laughed at how high-spirited he was when he first left the capital, and how grand and ambitious he was when he went to Xiangyang to supervise the army to suppress the bandits.
Until Yang Sichang personally led the military commander into Sichuan to pursue them, how could he command Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong, a group of domineering and arrogant soldiers?
Finally, they also talked about how Zhang Dingguo shot and killed Sichuan veteran general Zhang Ling, and how a generation of female general Qin Liangyu destroyed her entire army of 30,000 men in just one battle, and her reputation for fighting all her life was ruined.
The thieves and generals were in high spirits, and Zhang Xianzhong was usually very casual with the thieves and generals around him. He talked and laughed happily, and cursed many people in a playful way, so the court was indeed very lively.
Pan Duao was sitting at the same place as Luo Rucai. He toasted Luo Rucai with a glass of wine and said jokingly: "Shuai Cao, the female general Qin Liangyu of that generation is a half-old lady, and her charm is still there. Why don't you capture her alive?"
, where is the wife of Yazhai?"
When Luo Rucai heard this, he almost spit out his wine. He laughed "haha" and said: "Old Pan, do you think that Qin Liangyu is not old yet? She is older than my mother. She is an old woman in her sixties or seventies.
You are so fucking old and scumbag, but you still have the charm to talk nonsense!"
Pan Duao was obviously surprised and said: "Isn't it? I remember that in the second year of Chongzhen's reign, she led troops to Beijing to help the king. Chongzhen also summoned her on the platform and gave her four imperial poems, which were recited by the court and the public at one time.
I remember that among the four imperial poems there were sentences like "Learn from the eight formations of Xichuan, and the mandarin ducks hold military talismans in their sleeves.", "Sichuan brocade robes are made by hand, and the peach blossoms are about to take long tassels.", and this sentence "Victory Song"
Immediately reciting the song, it is not like Zhaojun coming out of the fortress.', 'Try to see how he painted pictures of beauties in Nianlin Pavilion.'.
You see, Emperor Chongzhen praised Qin Liangyu as a beauty of his generation. If you look at the extremely gorgeous words used in these poems, I guess Qin Liangyu was only in her twenties or thirties at that time. Not only was she good at martial arts, but she also had such a beautiful face.
Her appearance is also beautiful.
How come you are sixty or seventy years old now?"
Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help laughing at this time, and he even said: "Let's talk about Lao Pan, you are really smart and confused for a while! Chongzhen has lived in the deep palace all year round. He just listened to the memorial of the Minister of the Ministry of War.
He said that the female general Qin Liangyu came to the capital with troops to serve the king, but she did not tell him that Qin Liangyu was already an old woman in her fifties at that time.
He wrote poems in the Qianqing Palace that night, and summoned him on the platform the next day to give these four poems to Qin Liangyu. Just because he was the emperor, not only did Qin Liangyu shed tears of gratitude, but everyone in the government and the public also thought that this was Qin Liangyu's greatest gift.
It's an honor. Who dares to say that the emperor's poems are wrong?
The affairs of this world have been like this since ancient times. He, Chongzhen, lived in a deep palace, and all the external affairs were reported by ministers and eunuchs. How much could he know? How could he know such a big thing as how we went to war with Yang Sichang?
Shit!"
Zhang Xianzhong's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
