But soon, Chongzhen stopped knocking on the table.The sudden pause also caused Wei Zhongxian's heartbeat to stop abruptly, and Wei Zhongxian, who came back to his senses, bowed his body more and more.

Chongzhen suddenly said to Wang Cheng'en: "The decree is that the queen is pregnant, and tomorrow I will order Hakka to enter the palace to serve. If the service is good, I will reward you. If there is any mistake, I will never forgive you lightly."

After finishing speaking, he said to Wei Zhongxian: "The empress is pregnant, let the people under you cheer up and watch over me. All the food expenses should be given priority, and they must be strictly investigated."

Wei Zhongxian bowed and replied: "The servant obeys the order."

But Chongzhen sneered and said: "The strict investigation I said is to strictly investigate the origin of these things, and there are uses. If something happens to the empress like the emperor's wife, be careful of your head!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian also probably understood what was going on with the happy look in the corner of Chongzhen's eyes. He had seen this kind of happy look in the corner of the eyes of Emperor Tianqi in Daxing more than once.As for the killing intent that cannot be concealed, it is probably related to Empress Zhang's miscarriages and the early death of Emperor Tianqi's prince.

I'm afraid that at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen suspects that someone secretly did the miscarriage of Empress Zhang and the early death of the prince.But obviously, what the emperor suspects is neither himself nor the Hakka family, but probably the elders in the court.

Chongzhen, who waved away Wang Chengen and Wei Zhongxian, sat for a while longer.He was indeed suspicious about the early death of Emperor Tianqi's son and the miscarriage of Empress Zhang.

Later generations said that it was the Ke family and Wei Zhongxian who attacked secretly, but Chongzhen felt something was wrong no matter what he thought.

The apocalypse has no future, and the ones who benefit must not be Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, but himself.Judging from his closeness to the Donglin Party at that time, Wei Zhongxian and the Ke family would definitely not end well. If Tianqi had a successor, Wei Zhongxian and the Ke family would be able to hold power for a few more years by virtue of their support.

And the most important thing is, I read the daily life records of Emperor Tianqi, and found that it was after Keshi left the palace that Tianqi fell into the water and drank that shit. If Keshi was still in the palace at that time Well, with this bitch's shrewdness, I'm afraid things won't reach the point where they are today.

Chapter 121

On April [-]th, the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the carriage frame of Wanyan Yuzhuo, the daughter of the Xibe patriarch in Liaodong, entered the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the common people in the capital were very calm - the emperor of Ming Dynasty had a lot of women from other races. Anyway, this is the emperor's own business. Children born to women from foreign races cannot become princes, and the emperor does not harm his own daughters. Who cares how much the emperor takes in the harem, if you have that time, it's better to draw two more copper coins.

Of course, calmness is calmness, onlookers still have to be onlookers-especially for the common people at the root of the imperial city, wouldn't it be a disappointment to live up to the good times of life if they don't watch when there is excitement?

Therefore, from the moment Wanyan Yuzhuo's bicycle frame entered Beijing, he was destined to be surrounded by people. Wanyan Yuzhuo also saw for the first time what is said in Han books about crowding shoulders and sweating profusely.

Originally, the weather in April was not too hot, but the crowds on the streets of the capital forced out the summer heat.Wanyan Yuzhuo, who secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage to look out, finally became convinced that the Ming Dynasty was so big that it was far beyond the comparison of the mere tribes in Liaodong.

It's just that I was surprised by the large population of the people in Ming Dynasty, and I was also curious - even if each person spit out one mouthful, they could drown all the Jiannu in Liaodong, so how could they be suppressed and beaten by Jiannu?

That's right, it must be that these slaves don't want to repay them. When they turn back to find father and ask some masters who train slaves, their husband will be able to destroy Jiannu with his backhand?If she gave birth to a son and asked her husband to give the land of Liaodong to herself and her husband's son, then the child's future future would be limitless.

By this time, Wanyan Yuzhuo had completely stopped thinking that if Chongzhen was a scholar, he would beat him to the point that he dared not go to bed—it is because of his ability to command so many servants that he can know his future. The husband must be a great hero like Genghis Khan.

The imperial city of the Ming Dynasty was originally built on the basis of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. The whole is red, gray, and golden yellow that represent the majesty of the emperor. Wanyan Yuzhuo has never seen such a majestic building in Liaodong?It's just that some books have described the appearance of Yuan Dadu, and Wanyan Yuzhuo has long been unable to recognize it after being repaired by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

In Wanyan Yuzhuo's heart at this time, she was already secretly grateful to the nanny who taught him etiquette and rules along the way.If I know these etiquettes, I won't be rude in front of my future husband.

As far as Wanyan Yuzhuo's thoughts were concerned at this time, it was actually quite normal.After the prairie, the strong are always respected, the weak will lose everything, and the strong will have everything - since my future husband is so great and rich in the world, he is naturally worthy of my heart, isn't he?

When Wanyan Yuzhuo's carriage finally entered the palace to meet Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, Chongzhen's mind began to flutter.Is Wanyan Yuzhuo pretty?She is beautiful, even compared to Queen Zhou, Concubine Tian, ​​and Concubine Yuan, is it half a point, and has a bit more wild beauty that cannot be seen in Queen Zhou, Tian, ​​and Yuan.

It's just that at this moment, this wild beauty was put away by Wanyan Yuzhuo.

Chongzhen smiled suddenly, ignored Wanyan Yuzhuo who was anxious, and suddenly said to Wang Chengen: "It's a good arrangement, let the people below be more careful."

After Wang Chengen bowed and said yes, Chongzhen left the harem and went to summon Cui Chengxiu who had gone to Beijing with Wanyan Yuzhuo.

Chongzhen was very curious, why did Yuan Chonghuan, who had sworn so vowed before leaving Beijing, still ran to Liaodong as in history?The target is still Mao Wenlong?What exactly did Cui Chengxiu and his party do in Liaodong?

Cui Chengxiu's heart is also very complicated. After his trip to Liaodong, he almost never came back to the capital.Cui Chengxiu, who secretly sighed for a while, cheered up after paying his respects, bowed to Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I have really touched a lot during this trip to Liaodong."

Chongzhen asked curiously: "Cui Aiqing is also a person who is used to seeing storms, what else can make Cui Aiqing feel so deeply?"

Cui Chengxiu said: "Your Majesty, on this trip, I first went to Hu Guogong's place. Liaodong is indeed a place of bitter cold. Even Hu Guogong and his original grassland tribesman's life in Liaodong is quite difficult. Many people think It’s not about rebuilding the homeland of Xianbei at all, but about whether they can live in customs like the Han people.”

Chongzhen thought for a while, and said: "I asked you to allow them to enter the customs before. Just like the Han people, I never thought that they would be willing to enter the customs. However, there is basically no difference between the Xibo clan and the Xianbei clan. It’s quite deep, if you really want to allow him to enter the customs, it’s nothing. It’s just that this matter can’t be urgent after all, we still need to bring it to the court for discussion.”

Cui Chengxiu bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise. This time, the ministers and Jin Yiwei escorted Concubine Wan to the south to the Dongjiang River. On the way, they were intercepted and killed by Jiannu chasing soldiers." As soon as Cui Chengxiu mentioned this incident, he felt a faint chill and pain in his neck and the back of his head. .That bastard Xiong Sen said it lightly, and that bastard Zhu Gang responded even more easily—send himself on his way first!

Cui Chengxiu, who was not too happy to think about it, suppressed the idea in his heart whether Zhu Gang should invite Zuixianlou or Qingfengguan, and continued: "A dozen Jinyiwei and a dozen Xibo cavalry are actually not at a disadvantage when fighting against Jiannu. , and the loss of Xibe cavalry is lower than that of Jinyiwei. Although the cavalry of the concubine's personal guard is also the elite of the Xibe, my Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei is also an elite, so it can be seen that the Xibo cavalry is worthy of use. "

After thinking for a while, Cui Chengxiu said again: "If the princes of the court can allow the Xibe tribe to enter the pass, Your Majesty can try to recruit cavalry from the Xibe tribe. In this way, when we fight against Jiannu, my Ming Dynasty will have a better chance of winning. .”

However, Chongzhen sneered and said, "Young lords of the court? It's no wonder that these people can agree. At that time, we will have to talk about it."

Cui Chengxiu said: "After I go back today, I will first pay a visit to Mr. Shi, and share with him the pros and cons. Mr. Shi will definitely support it. As for Mr. Wen, it is hard for me to say."

Chongzhen said: "Wen Tiren has already been sent to prison by imperial edict."

Cui Chengxiu said in shock: "Your Majesty, what crime did Wen Shoufu commit?"

Chongzhen stared at Cui Chengxiu and said, "You really don't know? You haven't heard the news that Wen Tiren was sent to prison just this way?"

Cui Chengxiu, who was frightened by Chongzhen's stare, said: "I'm guilty, you deserve to die, you deserve to die."

Chongzhen ignored Cui Chengxiu's attitude, and said with a sneer: "The Kong family's hand is stretched too far. Although Wen Tiren is loyal, he still has to follow the wishes of the Kong family. I really don't know whether the court's surname is Zhu or hole!"

Chapter 122 Everyone's Life Is Hard

Cui Chengxiu didn't dare to answer, so she could only say embarrassingly: "Your Majesty is the only one who can make the decision."

Chongzhen also knew that Cui Chengxiu was a wise way to protect himself, so he didn't point it out.It's okay to kill with a butcher's knife, but it's a problem to kill them all.What's more, Cui Chengxiu is just a little greedy, but under the government, Cui Chengxiu, like Shi Fenglai, belongs to the standard royal party, and this kind of person should be retained.

Chongzhen, who was not self-important, continued: "Let's not mention this matter for now, let's talk about the situation in Liaodong. For example, Mao Wenlong, and did Mr. Sun tell you about the situation in North Korea?"

Cui Chengxiu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the situation with General Mao is good. It's just that Jiannu has been acting quite frequently recently, and he probably wants to conquer Dongjiang. Even North Korea has also been threatened by Jiannu envoys."

Chongzhen hummed, all of this was expected.Huang Taiji, the slave chieftain, is by no means a good character. He was able to change from the model of the four major Baylors discussing government affairs together to the model of eight kings discussing government affairs, and later proclaiming himself emperor facing the south, laying the foundation for slaves to enter the customs. Even if there are all kinds of coincidences, it shows that it is not simple.Even though he scolded this person like a dog and a slave, he couldn't help but secretly admire this person's great talent.

However, no matter how much I toss, the worst result is just to hang on to the southeast branch. I can toss vigorously, and with the little things that later generations know, at least I will hate Huang Taiji.

Chongzhen said: "For Jiannu, if Mao Wenlong is not removed for a day, it will be like a gnat in the throat. They will not dare to attack North Korea with all their strength, let alone knock down Daming. In this way, Jiannu must have to find ways Except Mao Wenlong."

Cui Chengxiu responded, and said: "Your Majesty, Dongjiang Town under Mao Wenlong's department is useless and cannot fight against Jiannu in the field. But if Dongjiang is not eliminated, Jiannu will not be at ease. What's more, Mao Wenlong's department Now they are constantly harassing Jiannu, although the results are mediocre, but the harassing Jiannu is extremely troublesome. If you kill one today and kill another tomorrow, how many Jiannu can there be in Liaodong?"

Chongzhen said: "That's right. As long as Jianu is not safe and secure, Mao Wenlong has done a great job. Under constant harassment, even Jianu is a fat giant, and he can be dragged thin. This time, Yuan Chonghuan went to Dongjiang , just ran towards Mao Wenlong?"

Cui Chengxiu replied: "Your Majesty is wise. Yuan Chonghuan went to Liaodong this time because he was instructed by Huang Taiji, the chief of Jiannu slaves, to get rid of this serious trouble for Jiannu."

When Chongzhen heard the words, he sneered and said, "Did Ming treat Yuan Chonghuan lightly? But now he is willing to be a lackey for Jianshou. He deserves to be punished for causing trouble to Daming!"

Cui Chengxiu bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true."

The wrath of thunder that Cui Chengxiu had expected did not come, only Chongzhen said indifferently: "Forget it, let's not mention him for now. Cui Aiqing tell me, how is North Korea?"

When Cui Chengxiu heard the words, he replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, according to what Mr. Sun said, Li Yan, Lord Lingyang of the Joseon Dynasty, really had a heart for Daming, and the envoy sent by Jiannu had already been tricked into killing him."

Chongzhen said: "I looked through the documents from North Korea. Is this Lord Lingyang, Li Zhen, really interested in my Daming? How is it among Korean scholars? Do you have a heart for those who built slaves?"

Cui Chengxiu said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lingyang and Li Yubing admonished the former ruler of North Korea, Lord Gwanghae. According to common sense, it was an act of treason and injustice. As the suzerain of my country, Ming Dynasty originally reprimanded him immediately, and even sent people to guard him. It’s just that Lord Gwanghae is demented, and there is ambiguity between him and Jiannu. North Korea has always called itself a small China, and even the Korean people think that Lord Gwanghae is demented, and should serve Daming loyally.”

Chongzhen sneered in his heart, Li Hui lost his mind?This kind of nonsense is nothing more than bluffing children. As the ruler of a country, Lord Guanghai Li Hun's choice was not wrong.North Korea is a small country with few people, and the foundation of a country is a big deal, so why talk about a small China?Don't be ridiculous, the North Korean devils of later generations can be more fucked up than the little Japanese devils.
