Dream Hua Embers Records

The blizzard lasted all night, and it gradually stopped at dawn.

The snow is not cold, the old people in Daliang City say that this day is the coldest day in more than ten years.

Next to the city gates on the four walls, there are placards from the Daliang Mansion, this time, they are written in the tone of Yuan Guo: "The first emperor of Da Yuan made great achievements in Zhao Guo, and the people of Zhao violated morals, so they wanted to ask for punishment. Teacher. However, Zhao Guo still dared to resist the teacher. The officers and soldiers attacked with all their strength, and the capital was destroyed. Fang stretched out the plea for guilt. The pursuit of the book was in violation of the agreement, the descendants were not good, the country was in danger, and the father and son lost the alliance. In fact, it was the same. Now that you have committed crimes, you should follow the old covenant. Zhao's old seal is quite broad, and it is my own, so it is appropriate to mix it up, but it is not greedy for land. The people of Liangdu followed the lord to move. Now invite the former Zhao Zaizhi, civil and military officials, and officials in Beijing. On the one hand, please invite the emperor, concubines, children, relatives, princes, and princesses to come out of Beijing. Elderly people are still gathered. Monks, Taoists, soldiers and civilians, and common people, in accordance with the imperial decree, discuss and recommend one person who is worthy of being the master of the people. There is no limit to the name, position, or rank. All good people have one thing in this, and they are also recommended together. They should prepare a book of rites according to the imperial decree. The people of the old Zhao should also start from the new country, waiting for a surname, and building a name with the book. , the 22th day of the first lunar month. Marshal Du Chong Wang Yan Luhu, Deputy Marshal Yi Wang Yan Qihao, Right Army Marshal Prince Yan Chong, Left Army Marshal Prince Yan Liang.

Last night, Yan Qihao led a troop of iron kites, occupied the Forbidden Palace, and sent Shuo Wang Kangying, Yu Wang Kangyu, Yong'an County Wang Kangwei and other clans stranded in Da Nei all out of the city.

Before dawn, groups of iron kite soldiers, led by Daliang Mansion, knocked on the gates of the mansions of princes and princes of various clans, and arrested every one of them according to the names on the clan register.

The two sons of Prince Yong'an were held hostage by two Yuan soldiers, and stood motionless.The concubine fainted from fright, and several servants at the side pinched the person for her. Zhu'er's face was pale, her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and she glared at the leader of the Daliang mansion official.

Hearing the princess whine, she woke up and turned around.

The official quickly bowed and said: "Princess... the prince of Yong'an County has left the suburbs, and the concubine please tidy up a little, and go out of the suburbs to reunite with the prince!"

The concubine was speechless in a daze, she seemed to be too dazed to think, but couldn't stop crying.

"What a good dog..." Pearl's voice was very soft, but the surrounding was very quiet, and everyone could hear clearly.

The official shook his body, as if explaining, and as if feeling emotional, "Now the world has changed surnames, and the Kang family has become prisoners of war. We are now officials of the new dynasty. There is an order from the top. Don't dare to disobey. It has been nearly two months since the city was destroyed, and it is not easy for the 150 million people in the city to survive until today... This last way of life depends on the kindness and virtue of the Kang family. , the grace of preservation, will never be forgotten..."

Zhu'er's heart sank, and she suddenly understood that the once impressive Kang family has now become a sacrifice offered by these 150 million common people. If they want to live, they have to sacrifice these nobles.More than a month ago, it was those women who worked as soldiers, but now they have become the royal family... I just don't know, when the emperor promised to donate [-] women as laborers, did he think of today?

"The king is the boat; the common man is the water. The water carries the boat, and the water capsizes the boat." It was not until today that Zhuer understood the true meaning of this sentence. It is not admonishing the monarch to love the people, but just explaining a fact.The hearts of the people are impermanent, just like the impermanence of wind, cloud, rain and snow. They can run around the city like headless chickens because of a rumor; they can also easily give up the so-called loyalty, filial piety and righteousness under the pressure of swordsmen. Your life is important... In the final analysis, as long as there is a chance for most people, they would rather choose to live. How many people have there been in the so-called sacrifice of life for righteousness since ancient times?

"This is the end of the matter, it's useless to resist, Miss should go change clothes... If they... come and talk about it, everyone will not look good, and it will also tarnish Miss's innocence." The more the official said, the lower his voice, bowed. The body is also getting lower and lower, and the face is almost pierced to the ground, as if he has no face to look at others.

"Miss! I'll go with you!" Zi Xiao interrupted suddenly.

"Zi Xiao?!" Zhu'er was startled.

The official shook his head and said, "As a rule, only children under the age of five can bring a wet nurse. I wonder how old the lady is?" After speaking, he raised his head and stared straight at Pearl.

Zhu'er's heart moved, and she thought that what he was holding should be the patriarchal book, and her age should be written on it, and now she asked again, but what did she mean?

"Seven!" replied Pearl.

The official nodded slowly, "You can't bring servants with you, and it's a merit to save one person from being dragged down...Miss, go inside and change clothes."

In the inner room, the fire was still burning brightly.With tears in her eyes, Zi Xiao changed Zhu'er's clothes.

"Zi Xiao, okay, okay... why are you wearing so many clothes for me?" Zhu'er also had tears in her eyes, but forced herself to keep her voice calm.

"It's cold today..." Zi Xiao lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs.

"Then it's enough to wear a few thick ones, don't you need to wear two for the mid laner and socks?"

"They don't allow you to bring thin and soft luggage, and wear a few more. If something happens, there will be a change of clothes...Miss, you have been in the palace since you were young, and you don't know the pain of going out. The slaves have followed Ren Yazi from the south to the place since childhood." From the north, you can do nothing wrong if you listen to your servants. You should also bring all the things you should bring with you, and you will be able to use them when you don’t know.”

Zhu'er nodded, but the tears in her eyes fell down with her movements, and fell into Zixiao's bun, leaving no trace.

Zi Xiao noticed something, raised her head, with tears in her eyes, "Miss...you have to take care of yourself!"

Zhu'er just opened her arms like this, letting Zi Xiao play with her, until the clothes were tightly wrapped around her body, and she couldn't wear any more clothes, and it was even a little difficult to bend her arms, Zi Xiao stopped. .

When the two came out of the inner room, they found that the two elder brothers and the princess had disappeared.

"Where's my mother!" Pearl was anxious.

The official sighed softly, "According to the rules, clan men, princess princesses, harem concubines, and concubines and clan wives all have to set off separately. Your mother and elder brother have already left, so let's hurry up, miss!" He didn't wait for Zhu'er to reply after he finished speaking, he turned around and whispered to the leading Yuanbing, "Bring to Yong'an County Wang Kangwei Dazong Ji Kang Ruizhu, seven years old."

Zhu'er clearly saw that the ink pen was hooked casually, concealing her birth year. From then on, she was no longer 16 years old, but seven years old...

After leaving the house, stepping on the patch of broken snow and mud, watching her feet sinking in the snow, the snow on both sides, submerging her ankles... Cold is the only feeling, Zhuer can't help but feel deeply grateful to Zi Laugh, fortunately I wear so many clothes, otherwise I would be so cold to death.

Staggering along the way, he followed those Yuan troops on foot.The carts, horses, oxen, and mules had all been requisitioned by the Yuan army. Team after team, there was an endless stream, full of everything in Daliang City, rushing back and forth.

The snow under the feet gradually soaked through the shoes and socks, and there were bursts of numb pain from the toes. Occasionally, she would kick something under the snow. Zhuer didn't dare to think whether it was stones and rubble, or a corpse buried under the snow. ...

Zhu'er was unable to care about where she was going and what would happen in the future, and she didn't want to think about it. She even thought about going on like this, to the end of the world, which seemed to be a good destination...

The author has something to say: In fact, according to records, at that time, each emperor, concubine, king, son-in-law, etc. had an average of less than 2 servants, but after entering the Kingdom of Jin and agreeing, it is not clear whether these servants still serve them It is recorded, judging from a profile description, it seems that those people were enslaved by the Jin people
