Chongzhen Chat Group

Just chatting like this, the monarch and his ministers chatted for a long time. Hu Guang was very satisfied with Lu Xiangsheng and confirmed that he was a truly versatile genius with both civil and military talents. Whether he is leading an army or facing a surprise attack, he has his own way.

Lu Xiangsheng also admired the young emperor, as evidenced by the achievement points he contributed several times during the conversation. He was especially impressed by the sixteen-character mantra spoken by the emperor. It simply revealed the true meaning of Dongjiang's military actions in the future: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

Lu Xiangsheng felt impatient in his heart. He really wanted to rush to Dongjiang immediately, integrate an elite force, and implement the kind of fighting method the emperor said on the land of Liaodong.

At the end of the conversation between the two, Hu Guang said with satisfaction: "I have decided to let you governor Denglai and integrate the Dongjiang military strength. However, the court's financial resources are currently limited, and I will try my best to give you resources. But you must be mentally prepared to live a difficult life, sir. Do you think it’s okay?”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed and accepted the order: "Your Majesty's will, I must obey it. If you ascend to Lai, I will make the prisoners sleep and eat uneasily!"

Hu Guang nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and then ordered: "You should stay in the city first, so that you can live a good life and take care of your body, and make sure there are no hidden dangers. When King Qin's army gathers in the capital to discuss merits and reward them, I will issue an order to you."

"According to the order!" Lu Xiangsheng responded, and then said, "I am in good health, it is best to go back to the outside of the city with the soldiers!"

This is to lead by example, not just to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. After hearing this, Hu Guang couldn't help but nodded and let him go.

When Lu Xiangsheng left the imperial city, the servant Lu Da, who was waiting outside, saw him and reported with surprise: "Master, go and have a look outside Tiananmen, go and have a look!"

"Well, what's the matter?" Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised.

In the Battle of Changli, the servants suffered heavy casualties. Only six people including Lu Da were still alive, and two of them were still disabled and could no longer fight. Therefore, despite their great achievements, so many of the companions they had been with day and night suddenly disappeared, and Lu Da and others became silent for a long time. At least in Lu Xiangsheng's impression, it had been a long time since he had seen such a surprised expression on Lu Da's face.

At this time, Lu Da realized that he was too excited, so he reported in detail: "Your Majesty plans to build the Ming Dynasty Martyrs Hall next to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and in the square outside Tiananmen. All those who died in the Ming Dynasty war can be enshrined in it, and enjoy the incense of the people, and The country will survive together!”

"What, there is such a thing?" Lu Xiangsheng was shocked, and immediately waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Let's go and have a look!"

At present, only people within the capital know about the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie Hall. Therefore, it was not surprising that Lu Xiangsheng and the others were surprised when they heard it for the first time.

Not long after, the group arrived at the address of the Zhonglie Hall of the Ming Dynasty. They watched the craftsmen marking the lines and digging the foundation. After asking clearly, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but face the direction of the Wenhua Hall and sighed: "Your Majesty will be the master of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty." , with just this move, you will win over the hearts of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

After he finished sighing, he turned to Lu Dadao and said, "You stay in the capital and inquire about what else happened in the capital?"

Lu Xiangsheng's intuition told him that the emperor must have something shocking to do. This can be felt from the conversation between him and the emperor, as well as the fact that the emperor dared to send away King Qin's army and use his body as bait.

"Yes, sir!" Lu Da agreed excitedly.

After Lu Xiangsheng left, he still stood there for a long time, staring blankly at the craftsmen at work.

He couldn't help but be excited. Those companions who had been together day and night entered the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall and lived with the country. Even if they died, they would have no regrets!

For a long time, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Old Seven, you don't have to complain anymore that no one will give you paper money after giving birth to a daughter! Old Sixteen, although you are unmarried, you have people all over the world... "

Towards evening, Lu Xiangsheng was meditating on the map of Liaodong in his tent. Lu Da came back and informed him of recent events in the capital.

Killing Luo and Yuan, killing Cao Yubian, banning the power of hearing and reporting, food control, centralized factory guards to arrest gangsters, etc.

Lu Da was talking about these things while Lu Xiangsheng listened and nodded from time to time.

At the end of Lu Da's words, his excited tone suddenly stopped and turned into a slightly worried report: "There are also rumors in the capital that the emperor summoned famous masons from the capital to the palace a few days ago to choose a master. It seems that three people were left behind in the end, and then the emperor ignored the government affairs and stayed with the masons. Someone in the capital said...said..."

"What did you say?" Lu Xiangsheng frowned and asked, staring at Lu Da.

Lu Da did not hesitate anymore and immediately reported: "The emperor and the late emperor are brothers. The late emperor liked carpentry work, and the emperor liked the mason's work. It is logical. Maybe the emperor will also focus on the work of masonry in the future. , ignoring government affairs, leading to something like Wen Ni, Cao Ni, etc., is possible!"

"Nonsense!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted angrily and slapped his hand on the map on the table with a "pop" sound.

Facing his anger, Lu Da shut his mouth.

Lu Xiangsheng came to his senses after he finished speaking, and immediately ordered: "Don't say this casually. I talked with the emperor for a long time today, and I dare to say that the emperor is definitely not such a person!"

Lu Da nodded. Just because of the Great Ming Zhonglie Hall, he was unwilling to believe the rumors spread by those in the capital. However, he thought for a moment and continued to report: "Master, at that time I also reprimanded those who talked nonsense about the emperor. But they also said..."

"What else can you say?" Lu Xiangsheng frowned.

Lu Da swallowed and continued: "They said that there was Tang Xuanzong in the former Tang Dynasty, and there was the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but then there was the Anshi Rebellion. They said that the emperor used to be very diligent, but recently... recently..., they said that the emperor seemed to After three fires are burned, he is probably like Tang Xuanzong, who knows how to enjoy..."

"Nonsense!" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he shouted angrily and slapped him down again. This time, he heard a "snap" and the table was broken by him: "The words of a villain can be punished!"

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng even had the urge to go to the palace immediately and report to His Majesty to arrest those who spread rumors.

But in the end, he suppressed this thought and said to Lu Da Dao in a somewhat bad mood: "These slanderous remarks should not be spread outside, and they cannot be believed. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Lu Da agreed, and with nothing else to do, he left.

Lu Xiangsheng lowered his head to look at the broken table, then turned to look in the direction of the imperial city. Just based on the emperor's true knowledge, I don't believe it! If your Majesty really shows signs of this in the future, he should do his best to dissuade him.
