princess's sorrow

When I died, Li Zicheng's rebel army was in full swing and captured Luoyang. My brother was arrested. The emperor ordered to rescue King Fu no matter what, and my son-in-law, Ran Xingrang, was ordered to bring 3 taels of pension to the royal family. Relatives, most of Li Zicheng's rebels came from peasants. They were afraid of being bullied by officials. They thought that all the officials in this world were corrupt officials. When they saw my son-in-law bring a pension, they thought he was He also had a lot of stolen money, so he was arrested and tortured.

And my elder brother, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun finally died in the hands of the rebels at the age of 56. Emperor Chongzhen bestowed him with the posthumous title of "loyalty".

In the early morning of March 17th, [-]th year of Chongzhen, the rebels finally captured the capital. Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan, and the members of his royal family also died, and those who were killed were killed. I saw my coffin parked in the " In the hall of Yiyuan", the servants in the garden robbed some valuables and fled in all directions. Only Xia Shuang was still guarding my coffin and refused to leave.

At this time, Pingjuan said to her with a burden on her back: "Xia Shuang, why are you so stubborn? The princess has already left, what are we still doing here?"

Xia Shuang said calmly: "Pingjuan, let's go, I, I am the princess's servant, and I will always serve the princess for the rest of my life."

"But the princess is already dead. Are you still going to the underworld to serve her?" Pingjuan said angrily, "Xia Shuang, are you out of your mind? Did the princess give us any great benefits when she was alive? Now that we're all dead, it's time for us to go back to our own lives. Don't you remember how much we suffered when we were under Nanny Liang? That year, we were almost beaten dead."

Xia Shuang became a little annoyed by Pingjuan's words, she said: "Shut up, Pingjuan, how can you say that about the princess? After all, the princess protects us. Over the years, you and I are also her best friend." You valued girl, you should never resent the princess, if you want to go, you can go, I want to stay anyway, I want to watch the princess be buried."

Pingjuan finally sighed, "Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say what you just said, Xia Shuang, you can stay, I will go back to my hometown in the countryside. It has been so many years, and I have always wanted to go back and see Yes, it can be regarded as Ye Luo's return to her roots. Besides, on the princess' side, someone must arrange her burial. Don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, she carried her burden and went out. Xia Shuang called her, "Pingjuan, we will see each other forever in the future, so take care of yourself!"

Pingjuan also nodded, "Take care too!"

"The money must be collected properly. Also, there are rebels everywhere now, and it is very chaotic. You have to be more careful." Xia Shuang warned again.

"Well, I know, she's already an old woman, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Pingjuan said with a smile, and creases formed on her face one after another, like the petals of chrysanthemums on the branches in autumn. This reminded me suddenly that the two little girls who used to serve me were finally aging like me, and that day was the last time I saw Pingjuan.

People say "husband and wife are one body", it seems that there is a telepathy, I can feel the life of the son-in-law passing by bit by bit, and I seem to be able to hear him whispering my name in my ears, "Ning'er, Ning'er..." My heart was shattered and I rushed towards the direction I sensed.

Finally, in a small dungeon, I met my son-in-law, the man who had been with me for more than 40 years. He was lying on the ground covered in blood. But, he is the person I love the most in this world, and also my deepest bond in this world.

"Ning'er, I'm sorry, I, I can't wait to go back to see you, forgive me, I, I didn't mean it." I heard him whisper.

"My son-in-law, my son-in-law, you, get up!" I said to him, the tears could not stop streaming down my face, but, I am just a wandering soul floating in the air, I can't do anything, not even I can touch him, and he can't see me at all, but he obviously doesn't know that I'm dead, and what he's still thinking about is that he can't return to me, and when he left, it was clearly Answered that I came back earlier...

At this time, two more men dressed in rebel clothes came in, and one said: "It's about the relatives of the emperor. I heard that those royal people are weak bones. They've all been recruited, why is he so stubborn, hey, tell me, could it be that he really has no money?"

Another interface said: "Hey, who knows, maybe he really has no money, but speaking of it, if he is really rich, it's not up to you and me, right? It's better to let his family take some money to find out Visit the prison, let us brothers also make a little money."

The one who spoke first slammed the other person on the forehead and said: "You are stupid, don't you know that the princess in his family has died of illness, and now the coffin is parked at home, and the servants of the family have taken all those valuables. Points are divided, grabs are robbed, do you still expect someone to visit the prison, just dream."

Before the other person could answer, the son-in-law's body jerked violently, he raised his half body, looked at the person fixedly, and asked, "You, you said the princess, the princess is already dead?"

The man said: "That's natural, can't you lie to me?"

The son-in-law yelled "Ah", and suddenly leaned back, fell to the ground, and then remained motionless.

The man came up close and kicked the son-in-law's arm with his toe, "Hey, don't pretend to be dead, get up quickly, you haven't led us to find gold, silver and jewels, how can you die like this?"

I also threw myself on the son-in-law, and wept loudly, but at this moment, something grabbed my sleeve, and when I raised my head in surprise, it was a handkerchief that was handed over first, and then a smiling face, "The princess is crying like this, it's really a loss of royal demeanor."

After hearing his teasing, I couldn't help but squeezed my fists and wanted to punch him, I said coquettishly: "I don't care about royal manners, I, I, I will be with you."

The son-in-law hugged me lightly and said, "Princess, we are finally together, and we will never be separated again."

I nodded, and when I looked at the fallen corpse on the ground, there was no trace of sadness in my heart. Whether it was a human or a ghost, I always wanted him to be by my side.

That night, I entrusted Xia Shuang with a dream and told her that I buried some gold under the bed in my bedroom. Buried together, the rest is left for her to spend her old age in peace.

After Xia Shuang woke up from her dream, she was skeptical, but finally tried it according to my instructions. When she really dug out the gold, she quickly knelt down in front of my bed with her hands clasped together, and kept saying: Said: "The princess has appeared, the princess has appeared..."

With Xia Shuang's help, my son-in-law and I can finally be together. She also specially invited someone to clean up and groom the son-in-law's body with multiple torture injuries, and then we were buried together.

On the night after the burial, I appeared in Xia Shuang's dream holding hands with my son-in-law, and told her to take care of myself, and told her that my son-in-law and I are now together, very happy, and I hope she will be safe and happy in the future , Xia Shuang was reluctant to let go, and was finally awakened from her dream by the sound of a rooster crowing. She immediately burst into tears, because she knew that my son-in-law and I would probably never appear in her dreams again...

I am a princess. I was born noble like a princess, and I enjoy the worship and admiration of thousands of people. However, I cannot live with dignity and dignity like a princess, because I have been oppressed by Nanny Liang all the time, and I cannot Die like a princess with infinite glory, because if it weren't for Xia Shuang, I might not even have a tomb. To me, this is indeed the sorrow of a princess, but at this moment, amidst this sorrow, I feel Some kind of joy, my son-in-law and I can finally stay together forever...

postscript:

According to the "Jiashen Chuanxinlu", Princess Shouning, the seventh daughter of Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, has a delicate appearance. For the prince, he fought with the ministers for 20 years, but still failed to win. Zhu Changxun was named the King of Fu, and finally left Kyoto for the fief Luoyang.

But Princess Shouning was loved by the emperor, and the emperor would visit her in person if she didn't see her for a few days. After Princess Shouning got married, the emperor ordered her to go back to the palace every five days.

Ran Xingrang, the son-in-law, had a strong relationship with the princess after they got married, but she was intervened by the princess's housekeeper, Liang Yingnv. Every time she had to pay bribes before she could see the princess. The discipline is so strict that it is unreasonable. Liang Yingnv is fierce, and she relies on herself to have obtained the imperial edict to discipline the princess, and she can't understand the young people's love and darling, so she often scolds the son-in-law in a dirty manner, and the son-in-law But he could only swallow his anger.

One day, the princess missed her son-in-law, so she announced him to come. At the same time, Nanny Liang was drinking and gambling, so Ran Xingrang didn't disturb her interest, and went straight to the princess's room. When Nanny Liang learned about it, she rushed into the palace, threw Ran Xingrang out, and asked the princess to tidy up her clothes so as not to lose her image of golden branches and jade leaves.

This time the princess finally couldn't hold back her anger, and the repeated forbearance only made them fall into an unbearable situation, so why did she still have to forbear?So the princess sternly reprimanded Nanny Liang, but Nanny Liang cursed obscenely. The princess had a thin face and ran back to the house to hang herself, until she was dragged and persuaded by everyone.

Early the next morning, the princess and the son-in-law entered the palace together. The princess planned to ask Concubine Zheng to tell her mother and concubine all the evil deeds of Liang Nanny, while the son-in-law wrote a scripture and planned to hand it over to the emperor, but who knew Liang The nanny had already gone one step ahead and arranged a meal for the princess and the son-in-law in front of Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng was furious and turned the princess away three times in a row, while the son-in-law was even worse. Seeing the emperor, he was violently beaten with sticks by dozens of eunuchs. He was beaten to a bloody mess and escaped from the palace desperately.

After this incident, Ran Xingrang appealed many times, but only ended up with the result of seizing the official for self-reflection, while Nanny Liang was transferred to work elsewhere, but the eunuchs were not punished at all.

Three years later, the minister Yang He gave lectures to the emperor, criticizing the eunuchs in power for not even having a legitimate appeal channel, citing the example of Ran Xingrang.In this way, Ran Xingrang regained his official rank.

Later, when Li Zicheng revolted and captured Luoyang, Ran Xingrang was ordered to bring 3 taels of pension to the relatives of the emperor, mainly the relatives of the princess’ elder brother Fu Wang Zhu Changxun. Soon after returning to Beijing, Li Zicheng captured the capital. "The concept, coupled with the need to get military salaries, arrested a large number of officials in the Ming Dynasty and tortured them, which is called "pursuing stolen goods and subsidizing salaries".Ran Xingrang Zeng brought silver pensions, and was also believed to have hidden a large amount of stolen money.During torture such as clamping sticks, he couldn't hand over the stolen money, so he was tortured to death.

Princess Shouning lived until the end of the Ming Dynasty. She was about 50 years old when she died. She was staying at home at that time. After Ran’s son-in-law died, her family members were also scattered or died. nothing.
