Chapter 20 Farewell to Chongzhen
The two of them were about to reach the door of Gao's house. Zhao Peng was worried about something at this time: "Brother, have you informed His Highness the Princess about the death of the late emperor? I'm afraid that His Highness the Princess will not be able to bear the blow if he knows this. If there are any shortcomings, we will feel uneasy."
Gao Wencai said: "It can no longer be hidden. When the First Emperor is in funeral and the thief ascends the throne, he will be told to the whole city. When the whole city knows it, how can he hide it from His Highness the Princess? Instead of letting His Highness the Princess know it then, we should inform him today."
"How do you inform me so that the princess can be less stimulated?" Zhao Peng asked.
Gao Wencai frowned and replied firmly: "Tell me the truth, Your Highness Bingxue is smart. In fact, he had a premonition that Your Majesty had collapsed. Instead of hiding it, it would be better to tell me as soon as possible."
"It seems that the only way is to do this. I hope the princess can hold on." Zhao Peng sighed.
Back in the Gao's courtyard, Zhao Peng walked into the room where Princess Kunxing was staying with great worries.
"General Zhao, is there any news about his father?" Seeing Zhao Peng coming in, Princess Kunxing asked.
"Your Highness, Princess, I am..." Zhao Peng knelt in front of the princess' collapse, hesitating, wanting to say it but not daring to say it, just worried that it would stimulate Princess Kunxing, who had just recovered.
"What's wrong with my father? General Zhao, tell me!" Princess Kunxing asked anxiously.
"Your Highness, you must hold on! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away!" Zhao Peng burst into tears. He had just arrived in this era for a few days and had no feelings for Chongzhen, but after he had sex with someone else's daughter, he had to show his appearance as a loyal minister, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.
"Father!" Princess Kunxing spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Although she had been mentally prepared for her father's rebirth, she could not withstand the blow after hearing the news.
"Your Highness Princess! Your Highness Princess!" Zhao Peng gently hugged Princess Kunxing and pinched her people.
Princess Kunxing slowly woke up, opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and suddenly turned into a spring. She lay on Zhao Peng's arm and cried loudly, crying like a tearful person, soaking all the sleeves of Zhao Peng's flying fish suit.
Zhao Peng didn't know how to comfort the princess, so he could only gently stroke her soft long hair. Princess Kunxing suddenly hugged Zhao Peng with one arm, buried her entire head in his arms, and soaked Zhao Pengfei's front chest in her eyes.
I don’t know how long I cried, but Princess Kunxing’s crying sounded like sobs. She also grabbed Zhao Peng’s sleeve, used the sleeves of the flying fish suit as a handkerchief, and wiped her nose.
Zhao Peng had no idea how miserable the original Princess Kunxing in history was, and there was no one-armed god nun at all. They were all fabricated by novelists. After hearing the news of the demise of the Hongguang Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Princess Kunxing in real history felt hopeless in revival. She died in sorrow and despair at the age of sixteen! And when she passed away, she was five months pregnant.
After a long time, Princess Kunxing stopped sobbing and asked with tears in her eyes: "General Zhao, where did they put their father?"
"This is not known yet. But in three days, the thief will be buried with the emperor's courtesy. The two of them will go to worship the emperor and send the emperor's last journey." Zhao Peng replied.
"Three days later? Three days later, right? Three days later, I will go to see my father personally!" Princess Kunxing's eyes flashed with tears, but she said firmly.
Zhao Peng was shocked: "Your Highness Princess must not be there! The thief does not know that Your Highness Princess is here. If Your Highness Princess shows up, it is known to the thief. I am afraid that Your Highness Princess will be humiliated by the thief!"
"My father is going to have a funeral, so how can I not go as the emperor's daughter? This is filial piety! Not to mention being humiliated by thieves, even if I lose my life, I will go to send my father's last journey! How can General Zhao make the slave unfilial!" Princess Kunxing pushed Zhao Peng away.
Gao Wencai also walked in just in time and continued: "I have a plan to make the princess perform filial piety, and will not let the thieves discover His Highness the Princess."
"What's your trick?" Zhao Peng asked.
"You can let the princess disguises herself as a man and disguise herself as a Jinyiwei Clerk, so that she can avoid the thief's eyes and ears." Gao Wencai said.
Gao Wencai asked someone to take a set of clothes from the Jinyiwei Guard and asked Princess Kunxing to change it and try to see if it fits first.
Princess Kunxing asked the two to go out first and changed into clothes in the house. After a while, Princess Kunxing, wearing a wingless black gauze hat, a flying fish suit, and embroidered a spring knife on her waist, walked out of the house.
"Is it not right." No matter how you look at it, you know that this is obviously a beautiful woman, how could it be a man? Zhao Peng shook his head.
In later film and television dramas, when a woman dressed as a man, she tied her hair up, and when she changed into a man's suit, she dressed as a man, all the audience had already seen that she was a beauty, but the protagonist was stupid and didn't know that the heroine was a woman because the director did not allow the protagonist to know. It was not until the fight that the heroine's hair spread out that the protagonist knew that there was a beauty in front of her.
The director can treat the audience as an idiot, but Shunjun and others are not idiots. Princess Kunxing's outfit, as long as the person who is not blind, can tell at a glance that she is a stunning beauty.
Gao Wencai said: "It's okay, I have my own way, and I will definitely make the thief army unable to recognize His Royal Highness the Princess."
Next, Gao Wencai took some equipment, one was a human skin mask, the other was a fake arm wrapped in cotton on paper, and the shoulder pads on the shoulders. The so-called human skin mask is not a real human skin, but a mask made of sheepskin after special treatment. This is the disguise equipment of Jinyiwei.
With the help of Fei Zhen'e, Princess Kunxing put on a human skin mask. In a blink of an eye, she turned from a beautiful woman to a yellow-faced man, and there were a few fake beards on the mask. Then she put on shoulder pads, tied her fake arms into her sleeves, and put on a flying fish suit.
When Princess Kunxing walked out of the room, Zhao Peng could hardly recognize her. A yellow-faced man in a flying fish suit and a wingless black hat appeared in front of him, with a few rat beards on his lips and chin.
"It's so magical, I can't see it at all!" Zhao Peng sighed.
"How can you just see the Jinyiwei dress up as a disguise?" Gao Wencai said.
Princess Kunxing walked to the pool, took her reflection at the pool, and sighed: "This is so ugly."
Three days later, it was the day for Chongzhen to have funeral. Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng, Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e, who were disguised as Jinyiwei's lieutenant, left Gao's house and went outside Donghuamen to worship Emperor Chongzhen.
Although Princess Kunxing was very resistant to such a dress, she still changed into this dress. After all, women in this era regard chastity as more important than their own lives. Only by dressing up as a man can they achieve their filial piety and not be humiliated by thieves.
Fei Zhen'e dressed up as a black-faced man, with shoulder pads and fake waist, and a beard on her mask. She has become a rough man since she was a young beauty. It is impossible to tell that this is a great beauty who has fascinated Li Zicheng in real history. In the past two days, Gao Wencai also trained the two women until their walking posture would not reveal their daughter's identity.
Chongzhen's funeral specifications were relatively high. The generals of the Shun Army were basically here, and Li Zicheng even came to see him off in person. However, there were very few ministers from the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the prince Zhu Cilang, the prince Zhu Cijiong, and Zhu Cihuang, there were also Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen, Qiangu Qiangu, Qianyiwei Gaowen, the captain Zhao Peng, Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e dressed in disguise. In addition, there were only Changping local officials Zhao Yigui and more than ten gentry, while none of the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to Li Zicheng came.
