Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

Li Chengfeng leaned against the bed quietly, three days had passed since that day.Tightening his robe tightly, he couldn't help but smile wryly, should he be thankful for giving him a piece of clothing anyway, it's also considered as allowing himself to retain his last decency.

Sighing, he looked out the window with some sadness.He wasn't very worried about his situation, as he said before, it was not a problem to save his life no matter what.It's just that he is still at a loss as to what is going on outside.From the situation that day, it can be inferred that Liu Qingqing should be instructed by someone to expose his identity.Let's just take it apart, since the very beginning, he was already mentally prepared to fall off the horse.But through Liu Qingqing's words before his death, even though he exposed himself on the surface, every sentence in the dark was pointing at the little emperor.

But why on earth would she do it?

Just when he was puzzled, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and after a while, Zhu Chunyin walked in.

Li Chengfeng was a little nervous and didn't know how to speak for a while, the two looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Pfft," Chun Yin couldn't help laughing suddenly: "You are actually a man! My God! How can you look better than me if you pretend to be a woman!"

Her smile relieved the atmosphere, and Li Chengfeng's tense nerves relaxed, and he smiled wryly: "I'm sorry for you, I have never thought that today will happen when I come to work in the palace of a poor man."

"Oh, yes, who would have known that my elder brother would become emperor at that time?" Zhu Chunyin's small face was full of sighs, and then she said nervously: "Don't talk so much, I have important things to come here this time !"

Li Chengfeng was puzzled and looked at her questioningly.

Zhu Chunyin took out a cloth bag from behind and stuffed it into his hand: "Here are some money and your guide. After a while, you change into the servant's clothes, and I will take you out of the palace. You run quickly."

"So what's going on with all this?" Li Chengfeng asked hastily.

At that time, Zhu Chunyin had followed Jiajing from the beginning to the end, so she told what happened, and then said: "Fortunately, Guo Xun stopped those ministers, otherwise you would have to cheat in front of them. No Speaking of which, now I'm going to fight to Jizhou, and the south is also. King Yong's road is in full swing, and I feel that he will occupy Nanjing soon. The chaos in Beijing is a pot of porridge. I discussed it with my sister. Anyway, everyone is so busy now, I guess I don't have time to care about you, you better change your clothes and leave quickly."

Li Chengfeng was stunned, he never thought that the two sisters Chunying and Chunyin would still be willing to help him even at this point.He hesitated and said, "Then... what about the emperor?"

Zhu Chunyin froze, and then said bitterly after a long while: "My brother has been ill since that day, maybe because he was too stimulated before, and he managed to deal with the government affairs with the cabinet two days ago. Can't stop, the imperial doctor is diagnosing him now."

Li Chengfeng was silent, he understood everything at this time, and imagined that if Guo Xun hadn't committed the second crime, then Liu Qingqing would have shouted those words in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.At that time, everyone is bound to be dissatisfied with Jiajing, and my answer is pressing, and people's hearts are floating.Coupled with the backup option of King Yong, many of them would go for refuge.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhu Chunyin thought that he agreed, and quickly stuffed him with a servant's uniform, asking him to change quickly, and Li Chengfeng silently followed suit.

After changing, the two lowered their heads and hurried to the north gate. As Chun Yin said, the defense was lax along the way, and the air was filled with an aura of imminent rain.

Soon to be at the North Gate, Chunyin looked back at Li Chengfeng, and finally said with a smile: "I have known the Taoist priest for many years, and it is the last friendship. I am afraid that I will not be able to go on here. Otherwise, if someone sees you wandering around the gate of the palace as a princess of a country, you will gossip again."

Li Chengfeng bowed deeply to her, and the two parted.

After leaving the palace, he didn't go straight to the city gate as the other party said, but found an inn, asked for a room, and took a good wash.Maybe it's because the news that I'm going to call has already reached Beijing, but the inn that was originally full is empty at this time. The shopkeeper absent-mindedly checked the directions and took him upstairs. The capital is gone.

Li Chengfeng watched all this silently, packed himself up and went straight to the commercial street. After buying gifts, he turned around and knocked on the door of Yang Yiqing, chief assistant of the cabinet.

It wasn't long before Yang Yiqing came home, and he was exhausted, so he managed to cheer up and receive him.

"Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't you seen it? The old man thought..." He thought that the little emperor was worried about the safety of his sweetheart and took him away from the capital to some safe place.

Li Chengfeng didn't speak, but showed bitterness on his face.

Yang Yiqing wondered: "What's the matter? Then he said as if joking, why are you wearing men's clothes again, let alone, you really look like a man..."

"It's not pretending, the boy himself is a man." He explained the matter clearly under the stunned expression of the other party.

After hearing this, Yang Yiqing couldn't regain his senses for a long time, and finally said tremblingly: "It's, it's...absurd! Absurd! Why are you so confused!"

Li Chengfeng also knew that what he did was wrong, he lowered his head and gave a big gift to Yang Yiqing: "Master Yang, you and I have known each other for many years, and I have something to ask, and I hope you must agree."

Yang Yiqing was about to be annoyed by him, so he still had the face to make a request at this time?I want to listen to myself, what is he going to do first?

"Old Qiu Ge allows the boy to participate in the defense of Beijing, I will do my best to join the army!"

Yang Yiqing was a little surprised. Looking at the sincere and stubborn face of the young man below, he finally softened his heart, and sighed: "Get up, I'm afraid I can't promise you this matter."

Seeing that the other side still wanted to argue, Yang Yiqing raised his hand and stopped him: "Don't rush to talk, although you have made thousands of mistakes, but you have made a contribution to Daming, we can't let you die in vain."

"The final reason why this old man refuses to agree to you... There are no soldiers in the capital, so how can you join the army?"

This time Li Chengfeng was completely stunned, a little afraid to say: "What did you say?"

Yang Yiqing smiled wryly: "You heard me right, there are no soldiers in Beijing now."

It turned out that more than 100 years ago, a similar situation was faced at that time. The battle of Ming Yingzong’s civil fort killed most of the country’s heroes, Mongolian soldiers approached the city, and the city of Beijing was in danger.At that time, Master Yu Qianyu stood up to turn the tide. During the defense of Beijing, he reorganized the three major battalions in the capital that had already lost their troops and turned them into twelve regiments. The strength was reduced from a few hundred thousand people to 10 thousand people.

It stands to reason that this number is not too small. After all, this is just a tribe in Mongolia, with less than 10 people dying, which is enough to defend the city of Beijing.However, when the Ministry of War counted the number of people a few days ago, it was surprising to find that the so-called 14 army was only 5! ?

The most terrible thing is that most of these 5 people are not enough to go to the battlefield. Those who are too young, disabled, sick, and some are almost as old as Yang Yiqing!In fact, both the Ministry of War and the cabinet are also well-known. This is the most common method of military corruption since ancient times-employment.Lied about the number of people, and then filled their pockets layer by layer. Most of the people here are related households, holding guns to charge the number. No, in fact, they don’t even have guns.

After picking and picking, there are only more than 1 people who can be brought to the battlefield.On the opposite side is a bloodthirsty Mongolian cavalry with strong soldiers and strong horses. On my side is a docile and fat man who has never seen blood and has dilapidated weapons. I want to know who will win in the end.

As far as Yang Yiqing knows, the current imperial court is mainly divided into two factions. One faction advocates that the royal family and officials should not want anything, and fled to Nanjing immediately; .

"But if we leave, what will the people in Beijing do?" Li Chengfeng couldn't help frowning and asked, thinking that he knew what would happen to them when the Mongolian soldiers came.

Yang Yiqing smiled wryly and shook his head: "Now there is no need to think about what they should do." He said calmly, "Jizhou has already been occupied, and I estimate that I will arrive in the capital within two days, and it is too late to run now."

Looking at Li Chengfeng's shocked gaze, Yang Yiqing went on to say: "Now the Ministry of Rites is drafting the documents for the negotiation to strive for tribute."

The so-called paying tribute is actually just a more elegant way of saying it.From now on, as long as it is the territory of Ming Dynasty, as long as it is the things of Ming Dynasty, I can send envoys to take it by force.

"Is there no other way?" Li Chengfeng asked anxiously.

"Of course there is a way. In fact, as long as I can delay my answer for about ten days, the garrison around the capital will be able to rush over to King Qin. At that time, there is no need to be afraid of him, but..." Yang Yiqing didn't continue, and both of them knew clearly. Just relying on that group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, how could they hold him back for ten days.

Li Chengfeng stood for a long time, but still said: "Can you, let the boy have a try... I am willing to lead the army to fight!"

Yang Yiqing looked at the other party in amazement, he had already made his words very clear, this time he had narrowly escaped death, and now everyone in the capital is calling him sick, and the cabinet is planning to draw lots to catch the unlucky one, how dare this man stand out! ?

Li Chengfeng had no idea, but he felt that he had to do something, relying on the things in his hands, maybe he could procrastinate, so he told Yang Yiqing what he wanted.

Yang Yiqing thought for a long time before saying, "I'll discuss it with the cabinet."

The Forbidden City, the emperor's bedroom.

Zhu Houcong stared blankly at the veil on the top of the bed, wondering what he was thinking.At this time, Huang Jin came to report: "Back to the emperor, this is a memorial sent by Elder Yang Ge."

"Put it there, I'll take a look later." Zhu Houcong said hoarsely.

Huang Jin hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "I heard that this memorial... was actually entrusted to him by the real Jinghua."

Zhu Houcong clenched his fists tightly when he heard the man's name, didn't he escape from the palace?The little emperor thought in a daze, in fact, he knew Chunying Chunyin's plan from the very beginning, how could they have gone so smoothly without the emperor's acquiescence.

"Take it and burn it, I don't want to see it." Zhu Houcong turned away and said coldly.

Huang Jin obeyed the order and turned around to leave, but he was stopped after walking a few steps.

"Wait, first... put your things there, you can go down."

Huang Jin thought to himself, it seems that the real Jinghua will not lose his sacred heart in a short time.

Waiting for no one around, Zhu Houcong hesitated for a long time, but still struggled to get up, opened the memorial, and the familiar notes came into view.

"Criminal Li Chengfeng Qi..." Li Chengfeng thought for a long time, and wrote everything in it, except for his time travel, even how he tricked and abducted into the palace, including his previous experience, all of which were written in it. If you go there, you probably won't be able to come back. "...I know that I deserve death for my crimes, but when the country is in crisis, I should do my best. Now that we are parting, it will be difficult to see each other again. I only hope that the emperor will live forever and live in good health."

Zhu Houcong put down the letter, tears streaming down his face.

The author has something to say: 1. The incident of I Da entering Beijing is actually official history, but it was about 30 years ago in Jiajing.In our eyes, this person is an invader, but in fact he is quite talented because he doesn't know how to kill or rob. He built the city of Hohhot.However, Beijing's strategy at that time was to close the gates of the city tightly, let me kill and rob as much as possible outside, and then delay when I could negotiate the tribute, and finally dragged people away.

2. To put it bluntly, this series of events did not happen suddenly. If you think about it carefully, the little emperor has done too much in the past three years.Take the tax reform as an example. Historically, it was proposed by the Jiajing Dynasty and inherited by Zhang Juzheng. After hundreds of years, it was finally perfected in the Yongzheng period.Including the policy towards the imperial family, it is actually not that simple. Although there were many emperors in the Ming Dynasty who were not in tune, there were also shrewd emperors such as Zhu Di and Chenghua, and there were so many ministers. Are they not smart?Can't you see that there is a problem with the clan?But it was not resolved until the Ming Dynasty fell.It's great for the little emperor to cut through the mess so quickly, but according to common sense, there will definitely be problems.

To put it bluntly, it means that the strides are too big.Whether it is him or Li Chengfeng, there is still a lot of room for growth.
