Speaking of such a miserable situation, Mrs. Xu looked up at the bright blue sky and smiled. "What a coincidence. It was December, too, just like when they came back."

Same as now.My heart trembled, and I went to see Kunming City in December.In the distance, the sky is blue and the clouds are light, and everything is vivid and clear; downstairs, the mountains are far away and the water is close, and the trees are verdant.The glazed tiles are blue, the owl kisses Chun'an, and the crabapple tree in front of Zhumen is bright and beautiful, as if it has always been so graceful and rich, calm and relaxed, and there has never been anyone's cry or catastrophe.

Xu Niang walked to the railing and looked down at the blooming crabapple flowers. "It's just that I didn't expect that I didn't die after all. On December 12th [-] years ago, some of us cried and cooked Fu Jin's last meal. Wang Fujin never ate it. As it was, let Chuan Shan The father-in-law brought it back again and said that he rewarded us. When the meal came back, it was already cold. But we did not dare to resist the order, and we ate all the meals we made with our own hands. The ice was cold and hard as a rock.

"Everyone's heart is colder than their stomachs. Everyone guessed that the queen had died on her own, and several people tied ropes to themselves, saying that they would go with them. I saw them looking for death and life in public, On the contrary, I couldn't see it, so I persuaded them with a few people, and waited for news from the palace together."

The aunt smiled lightly, "These people are all living well now. I heard that one of them is a celebrity around Zhang Fujin. It would be a pity if they really died at that time."

"It wasn't until the afternoon that the father-in-law came again and said that Fu Jin was not dead, but was going south with the emperor. He was sent to ask everyone whether they should follow, or take the money and save their own lives.

"I thought it was time for me, so I quietly avoided the crowd, and walked to the edge of the ancient well outside the courtyard alone. I found a stone and tied it around my waist. I was about to jump down when I saw a father-in-law coming in. It turned out that this There was a big vine tree beside the well, but the tree was empty. This father-in-law once hid a bag of silver in the tree hole. Now he is leaving, and he happened to come to get the silver while there was no one. This saved me Come down. People who have really died once don't want to die. We agreed to flee together. The two of them carried the burden and quietly left the dining room... However, they didn't escape. At that time, the Holy Majesty, Although the Queen Mother and Fu Jin are no longer in the palace, King Qingyang is still there.

"At the beginning, he said that he was willing to defend Kunming and live with the city. He is not a bad person, and he did things with good intentions. At that time, he was worried that people would trample on the palace and rob property after the people in the city were in chaos. So he locked the gate of the palace and opened it. A corner door, let those who are willing to escape, go out through the small door.

"Who knows that the gate is narrow and there are many people, and the palace people are in a panic. Hundreds of people crowded into a group of ants by the gate. If you step on me, I will step on you. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. No one knows, the situation is changing rapidly, and I haven't gone out yet." Well, King Qingyang surrendered a long time ago. Prince Pingxi has already destroyed Kunming City without a single soldier. The palace people don’t know that there are soldiers all over the street outside the gate, robbing everywhere.

"What do you think will happen when you come out of the palace with gold and silver, and you meet soldiers like hungry tigers? They were crowded to go out, but retreated desperately. The people behind didn't know the truth, and resented the people in front for being too slow. Squeeze forward. It is hard to know how many people are trampled to death.

"When the father-in-law and I rushed to the palace gate, everyone was in chaos. We fled back to the imperial dining room and locked the door firmly. The two of us guarded the door and listened to the movement outside. In the afternoon, I saw Xia The mother-in-law passed by, opened the door, and told her about the situation outside. She didn't leave and went into our yard. At night, a few more sisters came in. After that, we couldn't see anyone. We hid in the In the courtyard, relying on the food stored in the imperial dining room, and celebrating the new year in the courtyard, Grandma Xia's hair turned completely white at this time.

"Later, at least I stayed until the third day of the first lunar month. Only then did I see a father-in-law holding a trick and shouting all the way, saying that Kunming has been settled, so people from all palaces and courtyards should not panic. So everyone crowded to the door together. The father-in-law then said that the new king of Yunnan wanted to take over the palace and make it his own mansion. If the palace servants wanted to leave, they would go somewhere to get money, and if they were willing to stay, they would go somewhere to get new palace clothes. "

When the aunt said this, she stopped and didn't speak.

A small courtyard in the sun quietly appeared in my heart.The small door squeaked, and a few haggard, miserable White House ladies came out.One of them, wearing a long green dress with a branch of green bamboo still swaying at the hem, walked towards me hesitantly, and slowly merged with Mrs. Xu in front of me.

Thinking of this, I felt an indescribable heaviness in my heart, and my mouth was bitter, "What would happen if I got to such a field?" I thought in my heart, but I said it out before I knew it.

Mrs. Xu looked at me and sighed: "Now the country has been settled, and the prince is in command of the southwest. This is something the world admires. How can you suffer so much?" Pausing, remembering that the story was not finished, So he said: "Although we know the father-in-law, we still have doubts in our hearts after all. Who knows, someone really settled us. Asked whether to leave or stay. Some people said they wanted to leave, and the official gave him money and let him go. I think, after all, I am used to serving others, and the world outside is in chaos. Now that the prince is willing to take him in, staying is a way to survive, so I stayed as an errand. After a long time, I realized that my fate was fate. That day, a group of people crowded at the palace gate People in the regiment, those who were trampled to death, robbed of money, chopped with a knife, felt that there was no way out, and drowned to death. All of them. On the contrary, it was us who hid, because the prince ordered that those traitors He was severely punished, and sent people to guard the palace day and night, and he was lucky that he was safe and sound. At that time, he really felt that Wang Ye was a good person.

"A few days later, I heard that His Majesty Yongli had already run away. I knew in my heart that Daming was really over, and there was no more. The emperor and Fu Jin would never come back. So they stayed in the mansion even more desperately." I worked. I thought it was nothing bad, and I earned more money. However, just two years later, the prince led people to fight all the way to Burma, and captured the emperor and queen. He didn't spare any sympathy. I felt that I was wrong again, he is not a good person. After all, he is also a courtier of the Zhu family, how could he do such a ruthless thing in order to please the new master.

"Although the prince locked up the emperor and Fu Jin, he sent someone to take care of them every day. Knowing that some palace people went to see them secretly, he didn't blame him. He went to ask the emperor himself. I heard that one day in the middle of the night , He went to see the emperor alone, and when he came out, he was so crying that he couldn't walk, and he was helped out. I thought again, he should be a good person.

"Who knows, after a few days, he beat the gongs and drums again, charged the emperor, queen mother, empress and prince, and killed them all in front of the whole city! After a while, because of this, he The new emperor made Pingxi king." At this point, Mrs. Xu turned to look at me, "So, even now, I can't answer your question, I don't know if he is good or bad."
