Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 115 Worship the King of Tang, Determined to Support
The Qing army outside the temple was fighting evenly with the six Wang Yan, and inside the temple Tang Wang and his entourage suddenly came out. Zheng Sen was extremely capable of fighting, which caused the morale of the Qing army to drain, and the battle was out of order.

The personal strength of the Qing soldiers was not as strong as that of Hu Weizong and others, and it was only through the cooperation of the battle formation that they could not lose the wind. Now that they were disrupted by the king of Tang and his party, Hu Weizong immediately found an opportunity, swung his long knife, and cut down one person in an instant. On the other side, the little master They also slammed with long sticks, knocking several people into the air.

Seeing this, the small school of the Qing army knew that the situation was over, so they hurriedly left the battle and wanted to turn around and flee down the mountain.

After Zheng Sen rushed out, although he raised his sword from time to time to attack, but he was more protective of King Tang, just in case, when he saw that the little school was about to escape, he immediately threw his sword straight into his back, killing him kill.

The leader died. Seeing this, the rest of the Qing army didn't dare to fight any more, and immediately dispersed. Wang Yan and others took advantage of the situation to chase and kill more than ten Qing troops along the way. When they chased to the corner of the mountain, only three Mingzhen Manzhou seized the horse and fled.

Wang Yan and his party were short of manpower, and the northern captives were skilled in riding. Wang Yan couldn't catch up with them, so he had to let them escape.

Wang Yan had no idea how many troops the Qing army had sent to chase and kill the Tang king. Now that the three Qing troops had escaped, it was very likely that they would lead the troops back. Therefore, Wang Yan did not dare to let the Tang king stay here, so he sent Hu Weizong to pick up the three daughters. He also asked several young masters to take care of the remaining 20 horses, and he hurried to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the ruined temple had been engulfed by the fire, and the king of Tang was resting on the rocks outside the temple on the seats of his ministers. After the determination and excitement just now, everyone felt tired for a while.

His Highness and civil servants, it is impossible to compare with the soldiers in the battle. After the battle, the breath in the chest dissipated, and everyone suddenly seemed to be exhausted, but although the ministers were tired, their faces were mostly happy. It is even more reminiscent of the first battle.

At this time Zuo Maodi was talking with Huang Daozhou, but saw Wang Yan coming to the top of the mountain, so he hurriedly propped up his body to meet him, and said softly: "We will support the Tang king to supervise the country, Shi Heng, don't be rude."

Wang Yan couldn't help stopping when he heard the words, and after some thought in his heart, he nodded and said: "The king of Tang loves the people and has the ambition to recover, so he should be our lord!"

Seeing that Wang Yan did not object, Zuo Maodi nodded in satisfaction, then led Wang Yan to look, and hurriedly walked to Tang Wang, Wang Yan immediately bowed to the ground, "Your Highness is suffering, and my minister is too late!"

The king of Tang was very happy when he saw Wang Yan's big ceremony. He quickly got up to support him, and held his hand, "We will see you again today after a farewell to Hangzhou. Wang Zhidongliang, why is there such a thing as being late!"

Tang Wang's words were full of favor and reliance on Wang Yan, which moved Wang Yan's heart. He wanted to salute again, but was held back by Tang Wang. Wang Yansui had no choice but to say Tang Wangdao sincerely: " Your Highness loves you so much, and I will definitely reveal the death of Zhong Zhong, share peace with the country, and live up to your kindness!"

"True loyal ministers! Just like the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they are all like Qing, how can the society be here!" Tang Wang sighed in his heart, "It's a pity that the king has no daughters under his knees, otherwise he will be married to Qing!"

In the city of Hangzhou, Wang Yan had a particularly deep impression of His Royal Highness the King of Tang. He was very different from many other vassals. Tang Wang saw a glimmer of hope for the rejuvenation of Daming.

The ancient monarchs promised their ministers with their daughters. This is a very high favor and honor. Although the king of Tang has no daughters, but he said this, it shows how much he values ​​Wang Yan. This makes Wang Yan quite moved, " Your Highness is benevolent, I will be loyal to Daming, I will never change until death, and I will never forget each other!"

"You have such thoughts, what a blessing to the country!" Tang Wang held his hand, wanting to pull Wang Yan to sit beside him, "Come and sit down with you, and then have a chat with me."

Wang Yan was worried that the escaped Qing soldiers would recruit troops again, and he dared not waste time, so he said, "Your Highness's whereabouts have been leaked, and this place is no longer a safe place. Your Highness now regards the country as the lord of the country, and he belongs to the country. Your own safety is the most important thing, and the following ministers leave this place first and join the army. Only then will they be safe. When Your Highness enters the army of the ministers, you will be guarded by the army, and then you will talk to your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness thinks so?"

"Your words, no matter what!" The king of Tang took it for granted when he heard his words, nodded, and said to everyone: "I follow the words of Qing's family, and all my lords get up, and together with me, follow Wang Qing to leave this place and run away." To a place of safety."

At that moment, Wang Yan went down the mountain with Tang Wang and his party, Zheng Sen helped Tang Wang in front, and he helped Zuo Maodi in the rear.

On the way down the mountain, Zuo Maodi talked with Wang Yan, "Shi Heng sees Your Highness today, what do you think of His Highness?"

"Your Highness knows people's hearts, respects the virtuous and corporal, and is determined to recover. He is the master of Zhongxing!" Wang Yan replied, and then asked back: "Zuo Gong fled with His Royal Highness, and embraced His Highness as the supervisor of the country. What do you think of His Highness?"

"His Royal Highness does not drink alcohol, does not love beauty, likes to read books but is silent, and is good at official affairs. He has learned from the past to the present, has lofty ambitions, and knows the sufferings of the people. He is unique among all the vassals. He is indeed the master of the Ming Dynasty!" Zuo Maodi praised.

"So, I, Zuo Gong, will do my best to assist His Royal Highness, restore the rivers and mountains, and rebuild the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!" Wang Yan couldn't help holding Zuo Maodi's hand tightly, and said sincerely.

"Don't you dare to call out with your heart?" Zuo Maodi responded with a smile.

On Wang Yan's face, there was also a smile that he hadn't seen for many days.

After Nanjing and Hangzhou were defeated successively, Emperor Hongguang and Lu Fan both fell into the hands of the Qing army. When all the courtiers loyal to Ming Dynasty fell into despair, they were able to find a king like King Tang. .

Wang Yan, Tang Wang and others came to the foot of the mountain. Hu Weizong had brought Su Kunsheng and the three daughters. Wang Yan hurriedly asked them to salute to Tang Wang. Tang Wang accepted it with a smile, but many ministers showed displeasure on their faces. Zuo Maodi also blamed him a lot.

Although the theory of talented scholars and beautiful ladies in the Ming Dynasty was widely spread among the people and gradually accepted by the society, it has not been accepted by the imperial court and scholars, otherwise there would not be countless times when Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi combined. The scholars stood on the bank and cursed, throwing bricks, stones and rubble into their wedding boat.

Seeing everyone like this, Wang Yan knew that it would be useless for him to talk too much, so he didn't explain it. He just asked Hu Weizong to take care of the three daughters, and then he and the king of Tang rode on the horses left by the Qing army and crossed Lishui to Wenzhou.

In the carriage, Xu Yanyan, who was pure and caring, naturally felt the courtiers' dislike for her. Even Mr. Zuo, who was entrusted by Wang Yan to take care of her in Nanjing, did the same. She couldn't help but feel a little bit Ashamed of myself.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Seeing that she was a little unhappy, Li Xiangjun asked with concern.

When Xu Yanyan heard the words, she came back to her senses slightly, "Sister, tell me, will Yanyan affect the courtiers' opinion of Brother Wang?"
