Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

When the news was sent back to the capital, the entire capital was in an uproar. While many family members of officials and nobles were weeping bitterly, they did not forget to send people to collect the gold and silver and prepare to flee south, for fear of being captured by barbarians later.

Or be killed directly, and there is no place for burial.

After all, Emperor Taikang took away the capital, and even all the troops near the capital. Now the capital is almost undefended, and the northern barbarian army is not far from the capital, and they can attack it in ten days at a fast pace.

Even if you want to deploy troops from other places to guard.

It was too late.

In order to save their lives, it is perfectly normal to want to run.

Not only those officials Xungui who had died on the battlefield wanted to flee south, but most of those officials Xungui who did not go to the battlefield also wanted to flee. After all, they didn't want to die. Even the Queen Mother Sun, whose son was captured, wanted to rescue her son at the same time.

I am also considering fleeing south, or moving south.

Once they succeed in moving south, it's hard to say what the future will be like, maybe it will be another division between the north and the south, and they will live in a corner from then on, and the pattern of great unification will completely collapse.

Fortunately, King Xiang of Jianguo insisted on resisting to the end.

When all the ministers were discussing and arguing about whether to move south, they rushed into the Taimiao and took out the tablet of Taizu Taizong and the ancestral instructions, and strongly stated that he would not speak about moving south again. He would rather die for his country than move south.

Anyone who dares to speak up should be punished according to the precepts of the ancestors.

Genocide...

With the full support of Prince Jianguo, some ministers who opposed the southward move finally had the fighting spirit, agreed with each other, and began to make plans to defend the capital.

In addition, considering that the Prince Jianguo directly dispatched troops and generals, it was a little unfair, and the country cannot live without a king. Emperor Taikang only had one son, and that son was too young. At such a critical moment of survival for the country, of course We still have to stick to the strategy of the king of the country.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of vacancies in civil and military positions in the Manchu Dynasty. If they can unswervingly defend the capital successfully and push King Xiang to the throne, it will definitely be a proper contribution from the dragon. It can be said that risks and opportunities coexist. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top, make meritorious deeds and occupy a higher position, it will be difficult in the future.

After all, this is likely to be a great contribution to saving the sky.

Therefore, after careful negotiation, the rest of the officials and nobles began to elect King Xiang to the throne, especially when the captured Emperor Taikang knocked on the door and asked some city guards to open the door and let him and the northern barbarian army enter the customs. After the news, the dislike of Emperor Taikang reached a peak among all the officials and nobles, and even the people in the capital.

Some officials have even called for the abolition of the emperor.

Even the clan is quite dissatisfied with this.

Some staunch ones even went to the Taimiao to cry.

Under such pressure, she has always disagreed with King Xiang's ascension to the throne. Instead, she wants her grandson to be enthroned. The Empress Dowager Sun, who is the regent, is worried that if this continues, she will not respect her son as the Supreme Emperor, but a joint clan of all officials and nobles. , directly abolished her son, so in the end she could only hold her nose and agree to let King Xiang ascend the throne.

But still asked her grandson to be crown prince.

It can be said that both sides made a concession, and then the entire enthronement ceremony was also very simple, and it only took one day to get it done quickly, followed by cleaning up all Wang Zhen's remnants, while discussing how to deal with it?

The newly enthroned Emperor Jing'an knew that he was not capable enough, so he fully delegated power to those trustworthy officials.

The battle to defend the capital officially kicked off.

A lot of things happened during the process, and many epic characters were born. Among them, Yu Shaobao, the minister of the Ministry of War at that time, was the most prominent.

The final result was of course a success. Not only did they keep the capital, but they also counterattacked all the way to beat the Beiman out of the pass.

After the two sides negotiated peace, Emperor Taikang, who had become the Supreme Emperor, was sent back directly by the Beiman. After all, the value of a Supreme Emperor is really not much. Instead of keeping him, he had to be fed to prevent him from dying, and the two sides went to war again.

Might as well send it back.

Maybe there will be another fight between the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Jing'an, and it will consume a lot of the national power of Min country!

In fact, according to the thoughts of many ministers, Xungui, the Supreme Emperor should not be brought back, or even if he is brought back, he can arrange some accidents for the Supreme Emperor on the way, and let him die.However, Emperor Jing'an always thought of the brotherhood, and did not have a very clear plan to kill the Supreme Emperor. In addition, there was a party of the Queen Mother, and some officials who were sincerely devoted to the Supreme Emperor desperately protected him.

In the end, the Supreme Emperor came back safely.

Placed in the North Palace.

She was guarded by Queen Mother Sun.

Not long after he ascended the throne, Emperor Jing'an, whose queen didn't even get the phoenix seal, was far less powerful in the harem than Queen Mother Sun. In addition, he really had no intention of killing Emperor Taikang, so in the end it was only at the suggestion of the ministers. , Prohibit Taishang Emperor Taikang from contacting officials.

It is equivalent to putting him under house arrest in the harem, and he is not allowed to communicate with foreign ministers, but it is actually useless. His mother, the Queen Mother Sun, can communicate with foreign ministers. It is nothing more than a transfer process through the Queen Mother Sun.

It's just that at this time, the civil and military honors of the Manchu Dynasty are so noble that even the people in the city hate the Taishang Emperor Taikang Emperor.

On the contrary, he regards Emperor Jing'an as the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty.

He is the king of ZTE in the Damin dynasty.

So Empress Dowager Sun and Emperor Taikang's mother and son didn't dare to act like demons, so they could only stay obediently.

As for what Qu Jie cares about, Wan Quhou.

Nature is closely related to this matter.

Liu Yu, the father of Liu Taiyu, the current Marquis of Wanqu, died in the battle where Emperor Taikang was captured. After the news that his father died in battle and his body could not be found, his mother became seriously ill because she couldn't bear the stimulation. , died in less than half a year. Although Liu Taiyu was able to become the Marquis of Wanqu many years earlier, he obviously would not be grateful to Emperor Taikang, but would only be full of hatred for him.

If it weren't for the influence of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, he would have regarded Emperor Taikang as the enemy who killed his father and mother.

After that, no matter whether it is to push Jing'an to take the throne.

Or threatened to abolish the emperor, Liu Taiyu participated.

When the news that Emperor Taikang knocked on the door and asked the guard to let him and the Northern Man enter the customs first came, the Empress Dowager Sun asked all those who knew the news to keep it secret, because she knew that if the news spread, there would be public grievances, and she knew her son's behavior. Fan operation is not a thing, not a person.

Not worthy of being king.

But after all, he is his own son, so he can only protect him.

Then, Liu Taiyu and some honorable ministers who are dissatisfied with this have privately ordered people to spread the relevant news, otherwise the common people will know so quickly!

In the ensuing battle of defending the capital, Liu Taiyu even wore sackcloth and filial piety, and took all the private soldiers and capable servants of the family to participate in the guarding battle.

And killed many enemies.

It can barely be regarded as revenge for his father.

But in the end, the ability is not very good, and the credit is not particularly great, so when the merits are rewarded afterwards, the title has not been improved, but the title accumulated by the previous generations will not be lowered for five generations, and it is specially allowed to continue for three generations. It is to become a title that will not drop for eight generations.

Except for a few hereditary princes and marquises in the Min Dynasty, the other titles are mainly divided into two types.

It is easy to understand the first generation of nobles, that is, this title cannot be passed on, and the title is gone when a person dies. Many civil servants who are awarded are basically this type of title.

Marquis Wanqu belonged to the kind who was demoted to the rank of nobility.

Passing from father to son needs to be demoted to the first rank.

But, if they have done meritorious service, but this credit is not enough to be promoted to a noble, it is not enough to say that the marquis has been promoted to a duke, then they will be allowed to have one or two more generations without being downgraded to become a noble, that is to say, the father of this generation will pass on to the son. .

Still a Marquis.

Theoretically speaking, if every generation can make meritorious service.

It is basically not inferior to the hereditary title.

However, very few families can succeed from generation to generation, and most of them are passed on, and the titles of the lower ranks are gone.

The inheritance of the descendants of the Marquis Wanqu family is pretty good. The previous generations have made meritorious deeds and have accumulated the honor of being promoted to nobility without being demoted for five generations. Although Liu Taiyu is the third

The fifth generation Marquis of Wanqu, but the title has only been passed down four times to him, so even without this credit, his son can still inherit the title of Marquis, and it will be his grandson's generation that will be reduced to an earl.

And his operation can be regarded as doing it for his grandson.

But in any case, he definitely belongs to the nobles of Emperor Jing'an's faction, and is also one of the nobles who support Emperor Jing'an. A few days later, Emperor Qian'an was seriously ill. Queen Mother Sun joined forces with Emperor Taikang and some officials who supported Emperor Taikang. The rebellion, in Emperor Taikang's own words, was a successful restoration, and Emperor Jing'an was imprisoned and ascended the throne again.

Then, of course, Taikang Emperor liquidated his dissidents.

The Wanquhou family was not the only one whose home was ransacked.

Even Yu Shaobao, the chief assistant of the current cabinet, including most of the meritorious officials in the defense of the capital, and even some officials who killed Wang Zhen's remnants, all had their homes ransacked.
