Chapter 154
"It is said that on the fourth day of June that year, the weather suddenly became brighter, and the Ming army accelerated its attack."

"The next day, the Ming army general Chen Lin took the lead and captured Tucheng. Seeing this, Yang Yinglong quickly recruited many dead soldiers and stepped forward to resist, but no one was willing to do this."

"It is said that that night, the chief officer Chen Lin and the Ming army general Wu Guang led people into Hailongtun with the help of a big tree, and quietly killed the guarding rebels."

"It was also on this night that Yang Yinglong came to inspect the pass with his saber in hand, but he found flames all around, and the Ming army had already entered."

"Seeing this situation, Yang Yinglong knew that his situation was over, so he found his wife and said to her, I don't care about you anymore, and then turned around and left."

"On the early morning of June [-], the Ming army finally broke through the city wall and boarded Hailongtun. In a hurry, Yang Yinglong and his two concubines hanged himself and prepared to set his body on fire."

"General Wu Guang of the Ming Army captured more than 100 people including Yang Yinglong's son Yang Chaodong and Yang Beilong. He hurriedly searched for Yang Yinglong's body, and finally dragged Yang Yinglong's body out of the fire. Yang Yinglong's rebellion failed completely."

"The Battle of Bozhou took more than 140 days from the time the imperial court dispatched troops to the defeat of Yang Yinglong."

"And Li Hualong commanded the Eighth Route Army of the Ming Army to behead more than 2 rebels."

"On June 28, Li Hualong reported the news of the suppression of the Bozhou rebellion to the imperial court."

"On December [-], Zhu Yijun, the Wanli emperor, went to the morning gate in person and held a capture ceremony for the prisoners of war in the Battle of Bozhou. Yang Yinglong's body was chopped up in public, and his sons Yang Chaodong and Yang Beilong were dismembered in the market."

"On the first month of the 29th year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun issued a flat broadcast edict to show the world."

"On April 29, the imperial court dismantled Bozhou into two, and set up ZY Prefecture and Pingyue Prefecture respectively. ZY Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, while Pingyue Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Guizhou."

"In March of the 31st year of Wanli, Wu Hong and Lu Wenxiu, the remnant generals of the rebel army, launched a rebellion. They were defeated by Li Yingxiang, the commander-in-chief, and the rebellion was quelled."

"The rule of the Yang family in Bozhou went through five dynasties from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. The Yang family was hereditary for 29 generations, a total of 725 years, but it ended because of Yang Yinglong's rebellion and was suppressed by the court."

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about the three major Wanli campaigns, let's talk about Zhu Yijun's other interesting stories, such as the struggle for the foundation of the country."

"It is said that on a certain day in the ninth year of Wanli, that is, in 1581 AD, Zhu Yijun went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager Cisheng."

"The queen mother was not there at the time, and I didn't know what to do. There was a maid called Wang Shi who brought water to wash Zhu Yijun's hands."

"At that time, Zhu Yijun took a good look at Mrs. Wang while washing his hands. Zhu Yijun was not very old at the time. Hey, after looking at it, I think Mrs. Wang is a bit pretty."

"So Zhu Yijun favored her. According to the unwritten rules at the time, after favoring her, Zhu Yijun should give Wang something to her as a proof of his fortune."

"However, since Mrs. Wang is a maid in Zhu Yijun's mother's palace, although no one will criticize him for Zhu Yijun's behavior, Zhu Yijun still feels that this matter is disgraceful, so he walked away swaggeringly after putting on his clothes and belts. gone."

"Scumbag, this is it. Later, Mrs. Wang became pregnant, and her belly grew bigger after a few months. Seeing this, Zhu Yijun's mother asked her what was going on, and Mrs. Wang told her exactly what was going on."

"However, at this moment, the old lady remembered the hardships and bitterness of being a court lady, and she deeply understood Wang's situation. At the same time, she was very happy that she was about to embrace her grandson."

"It is said that one day, Zhu Yijun accompanied his mother to dinner. During the dinner, Empress Dowager Li told Zhu Yijun about Wang's situation, but Zhu Yijun quit, saying that the child in Wang's belly was not created by him."

"When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she was immediately unhappy. The son she trained herself actually lied in front of her face."

"But Empress Dowager Li didn't get angry, but asked someone to bring "Inner Living Notes". As a teacher, I don't know what this book is for."

"Anyway, it means that Empress Dowager Li asked someone to bring this book and let Zhu Yijun read it by himself. The facts are in front of him, and Zhu Yijun has no choice but to admit it."

"Zhu Yijun admitted that he did, but he was very upset. Seeing Zhu Yijun's distraught look, Empress Dowager Li said to him:
I'm old, I don't have any grandchildren yet, if a man is a man, he is blessed with family and society, and a mother values ​​her son, so I'd rather divide the difference and wait? "

"That is to say, your mother and I are already old, and now I have the opportunity to have a grandson. What do you still care about?"

"Empress Dowager Li has already talked about this, and Zhu Yijun can't help it. Who made Empress Dowager Li his mother? So Zhu Yijun had no choice but to admit it generously, and named Wang as Concubine Gong, calling her Concubine Wang Gong."

"This Concubine Wang Gong really lived up to everyone's expectations. She gave birth to a boy soon. Who is it? It's the short-lived emperor who was neglected and discriminated against by Zhu Yijun all his life, Zhu Changluo."

"At that time, the court ladies were all called Du Ren. Because of this, Zhu Yijun called Zhu Changluo the son of Du Ren."

"By the way, although Zhu Yijun doesn't like Zhu Changluo, he is his first son anyway. Naturally, it's a happy event."

"Thus, Zhu Yijun issued an edict to reduce and exempt taxes for the whole country, and amnesty the world. At the same time, he sent envoys to inform the vassal states and foreign states to celebrate together."

"But Zhu Yijun is the emperor after all, and there are 3000 beauties in the harem. Among them, Zhu Yijun's favorite is the Zheng family."

"This Zheng family was canonized as concubine Shu by Zhu Yijun in the tenth year of Wanli, and was promoted the next year to become concubine de."

"The reason why this Concubine Zheng can be favored by Zhu Yijun is not only because of her beauty, but more because of Concubine Zheng's intelligence and agility, as well as her talent for proficiency in poetry."

"It's absolutely impossible for Zhu Yijun to pay attention to her for decades just because of her beauty. There is a word called old age and frailty."

"Other concubines are obedient to Zhu Yijun, but they keep a distance from their attention in the depths of their hearts. Only Concubine Zheng is innocent and romantic, and gets along with Zhu Yijun without any scruples."

"This noble concubine Zheng not only dares to tease and satirize Zhu Yijun, but also listens to Zhu Yijun's troubles and relieves his worries."

"In terms of status, Concubine Zheng is a concubine, but she never sees herself as a concubine. At least spiritually, she is already very close to Zhu Yijun."

"It is said that when Concubine Zheng saw Zhu Yijun, not only did she not bend down to salute, she even hugged him openly and touched his head."

"Although this kind of behavior seemed disrespectful at the time, it was precisely because of Zheng's extraordinary performance that Zhu Yijun loved him so much and was promoted to imperial concubine within three years."
