Chongzhen Undergraduates

Without disturbing the two of them, Ji Biao just silently gestured to the mess on the ground, and even picked up the burnt jujube, and the smell in the room gradually improved.

"Huh? Is there anything going on outside?" After a while, Ji Biao had almost cleaned up, and Zhu Youjian realized that there was an extra person in the room.

"A few adults from the cabinet have arrived and are waiting outside the yard." Ji Biao glanced at Li Yan quietly, and he noticed that Li Yan wiped his nose with his hands, as if he was feeling a little sad just now.

"Arrange for them to rest for a day first. Commander Li will live in this small courtyard tonight, and leave the side room next to him." Zhu Youjian pointed to the side room.

There are not many guests who can let the emperor take the initiative to stay.Ji Biao had been with him for a few months, and Li Yan was the only one who had received this kind of treatment, especially when the two of them slept together for several nights in the Laizhou military camp, which was deeply memorable.

The relationship between Li Yan and Zhu Youjian is completely different from the situation that Fang Yizhi talked about at night while holding candles.If Fang Yizhi's conversation at that time was like a desire to seek knowledge;

But between Li Yan and Zhu Youjian, they are like lovers who have been separated for many years, a bit gluey.If Ji Biao hadn't confirmed the innocence of the two, he would have even suspected that the emperor was better than Long Yang.

When Li Yan heard Zhu Youjian's arrangement, he didn't make a sound, completely acquiescing.This can be difficult for Ji Biao. You know, Mrs. Li Yan came with her, so she can't arrange Hong Niang in this yard.

It was not customary for a young woman to live in the emperor's courtyard, even with her husband.

Ji Biao backed out of the courtyard, worrying about how to explain to Hong Niangzi, when he bumped into her head-on.

"Ma'am, Commander Li..." Before Ji Biao finished speaking, he was interrupted by the red lady.

"I live in another courtyard tonight, just prepare two maids for me." The red lady smiled, not allowing Ji Biao to refuse, turned around and went to the small courtyard she mentioned, and left here far away.

That night, a crescent moon hung in the sky.Zhu Youjian and Li Yan sang to each other over wine, so they placed a few dishes of side dishes in the middle of the yard and drank until midnight.

I cried and laughed from time to time, and sang some nice but weird ditties.

Ji Biao only remembers one sentence: "...When you pack your bags and unload the glory, I can only let the tears stay in my heart..."

Chapter 143: Qian Qianyi's student is Zheng Sen

Many people came to Xuzhou, so it was impossible for Zhu Youjian to bid farewell to Li Yan alone in front of everyone.

Therefore, this night, Zhu Youjian took advantage of the opportunity of staying overnight with Li Yan to express his heart and bid farewell to Li Yan in advance.

Hangover last night, but the two still got up early.

Zhu Youjian led Li Yan and appeared in the General's Mansion in Xuzhou in formal attire, which had been changed to the emperor's temporary residence.

In the distance, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying each led a group of people to meet them.The people who came to Xuzhou this time were not only the cabinet, but also some followers, who should be regarded as the most trustworthy confidants around everyone.

"Your Majesty, this is my new adoptive son: Shi Dewei." Shi Kefa blushed a little and introduced the godson he only recognized. Before, he did not agree with Gao Yuanjue to be his adopted son, but after seeing Zhu Youjian stand up, he has also learned how to do it now. Acknowledged his son.

"Well, yes, he is a fierce general." Zhu Youjian took a look and admired Shi Kefa's eyes. This person is not a cunning person at first glance.

"Your Majesty, this is my brother-in-law: Yang Wencong." Ma Shiying also introduced the people around him.

"I've heard of Yang Aiqing's excellent landscape works before. Very good!"

It is not easy to let the emperor know the name of the person. Ma Shiying has a bright face and consciously overwhelms Shi Kefa.

"My Majesty, this is my servant: Zheng Sen." Qian Qianyi smiled slightly, took a step, and stepped away, revealing a young man in his twenties hiding behind him, and said.

Zhu Youjian was shocked, resisting the shock in his heart, and looked at the young man carefully.

Zheng Sen is not tall, and is thin in his twenties. He has a small nose and small eyes, but he doesn't have a small face like a Fujianese.

The eyes are small, the eye sockets are a bit deep, the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is short, and the inner and outer corners of the eyes are open.Especially the bridge of the nose is higher than the average person.

"Is Nan'anbo in good health?" Zhu Youjian asked abruptly.Qian Qianyi originally thought that Zhu Youjian didn't know about Zheng Sen's background and was planning to show it off in public, but he didn't expect the emperor to say it out loud.

Nan'an Bo is Zheng Zhilong, the biggest owner of the Daming Navy, and Zheng Sen is Zheng Chenggong.

"My father is fine, thank you for your concern." Zheng Sen was very polite, neither humble nor overbearing, and had an extraordinary bearing. He looked like a good seedling.

If it weren't for his obvious Japanese facial features, Zhu Youjian couldn't react for a while.Zheng Chenggong's mother, Tianchuansong, was from Hirado, Japan.

Zhu Youjian also had to sigh: Qian Qianyi accepted a good student!

"Now that you're all here, let's get started."

Following Zhu Youjian's order, the guards immediately lined up and quickly formed a line of defense.The cabinet and the chiefs of each army went to a separate small courtyard, and the other followers at the door were all blocked outside.

Although quite a few people came, most of the attendants came to see the world and could not participate in the core meeting.

Within 200 meters, no one can stand. 200 meters away, the guards formed an iron wall, tightly protecting the small courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, but there is a big house in the courtyard. It used to be a warehouse, but it was cleaned up and used as a conference room.

There are no guards in the courtyard, except for a huge long table in the room, which is a huge map hanging on the pawn wall, with the topography of southern Shandong, eastern Henan, and Huaisi clearly drawn on it.

"Everyone sit whatever you want." Zhu Youjian raised his hand and pointed to the chairs surrounding the long table.

This is the first time everyone has encountered this method. In the past, the ministers were standing in the imperial meeting, and even the generals were standing when discussing matters in the army.

It was the first time that they all sat down to discuss matters, probably only when the emperor gave a banquet.

Reluctantly, the civil servants and military generals finally separated into two sides and sat down.

"Today's business, I pour the tea by myself, and I kicked out all the handymen here. I won't serve myself!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.The atmosphere instantly eased a lot.

"Chen Zilong is today's clerk, Zuo Maodi, please tell me first."

......

A meeting went on for a whole day, and even the lunch was delivered by Ji Biao alone.

Surrounding Xuzhou, the supervisors smoothed out all the military forces of Ming Dynasty in this area.

The summary is: Shandong has 5 soldiers, which is the strongest among the towns; Huang Degong of Hezhou actually led 5000 troops; Yan Yingyuan led [-] troops to garrison Xuzhou;

Mrs. Xing has 3 people, but she must be the weakest.In addition, there are about 1 people in the Yangtze River Navy, which are general local troops and are temporarily under the command of Huang Degong.

Zhu Youjian estimated that the troops reported to the Ministry of War by the four Jiangbei towns before were all worthless.

"My Ming Dynasty currently has a total of 24 people in Jiangbei. We need to focus on two directions of defense: Shandong and Henan..." Zuo Maodi began to elaborate on his tactical concept.

Before Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Qian Qianyi interjected, "Your Majesty, why didn't you transfer the Zuo Liangyu Department from Wuchang to Huaisi?"

This point is also a question of many people. Zuo Liangyu did not openly rebel, and after all, he is still a military force of Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youjian has clearly excluded Zuo.

Shandong was facing Houjin, and Henan was facing Chuangjun (Li Zicheng was resting in Nanyang at the time.), if Wuchang was added, Nanjing would have three enemies at the same time.

"I have issued three imperial decrees to Zuo Liangyu, but none of them responded." Zhu Youjian couldn't say it in public, so I knew Zuo Liangyu was going to rebel, right?Therefore, after he arrived in Nanjing, he successively issued three imperial decrees to recruit Zuo Liangyu to report on his duties in Nanjing.

How could Zuo Liangyu go to Nanjing alone to report on his work? This is obviously a grand banquet.However, the imperial decree is the imperial decree, and continuous disobedience to the imperial decree is basically tantamount to treason.
