Beiyang new warlord

"Xie Liao King!"

Holding the ground, a large group of courtiers staggered to their feet again, with their hands bowed and their heads bowed, standing respectfully in two rows, as if waiting for the leader to speak.

This is the time to win back people's hearts. Naturally, Mao Jue was not stage-frightened. He grabbed the horse's reins and walked to the front. With his sleeves raised high, he shouted incomparably high-spirited.

"In recent years, it is indeed God's blessings. I have been plagued by disasters, swords and soldiers are everywhere, and there is such a rebellion and capture of the capital. Your Majesty died, and the mountains and rivers fell! However, my Ming Dynasty has not exhausted its atmosphere. Now I, Mao, want to turn the tide. Mao Jue has the cheek to rebuild the mountains and rivers, and I hope all the ministers will help me!"

Those words are definitely treasonous, which courtier can say that he has turned the tide and reorganized the country?That is the emperor's right. Mao Jue is tantamount to revealing his ambition nakedly. All the ministers present here are well-informed. Who cares who is in the country, whoever is in the official position is grandpa! The villains who are mothers are once again knelt down one after another, with their buttocks on the ground and their heads in the sky, and responded with a loud voice.

"The minister dare not obey orders!"

The first confrontation with this group of villains ended in a complete victory for Mao Jue, and Mao Jue also showed the attitude of being a king. After accepting the visit, he immediately called on the former Ming officials to go to court tomorrow , to reorganize the court program, which is tantamount to giving hope to all the former bureaucrats. After bowing respectfully, a group of officials dispersed, and let the gate of the palace be in front of Mao Jue. Under the retinue of the cavalry, Mao Jue also proudly entered the center of power in East Asia just like Li Zicheng did back then.

To say that Li Zicheng is really a good man, he pulled out those thorns for Mao Jue, and scared all civil and military officials. When he entered the city, the palace was empty, but he left it for Mao Jue. It is 3000 million taels of heavy silver plates, not counting the more than 4000 million taels of silver that was stopped by Wenmeng in Datong.

However, the most precious thing is the catalog of mountains and rivers of the whole country, household registers, documents and files stored in Wenyuan Pavilion. These things are the key to supporting the rule of the entire empire. The Qing Dynasty in history relied on these things to be so smooth It ruled in the north, and relied on the manpower and material resources of the north to invade Jiangnan powerfully, painting a touch of blood for the entire Jiangnan.

It was completely different from the Dashun Dynasty, which had no foresight. As soon as he entered the palace, all civil servants in Liaodong became busy.Song Xiance took the lead, bringing along Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou who left the army, as well as civil servants such as Fan Wenju, Shen Rui, Su Changmei and others cultivated by Liaodong itself, and even the old uncle Shen Guangzuo who was dragged out of the mountain by Mao Jue. Being mobilized, with a large number of staff officers and civilians, they plunged into these piles of catalogs, and collected the messy field records and household registrations due to the collapse of the empire.

The sooner they master these, the sooner Liaodong can master this huge north.

The military officers, Shen Rong, Liu Xingzha, etc. were also busy, one after another orders for dispatching troops were issued in a hurry, and troops were also hurriedly transferred into the city. The palace was empty and chaotic for many days, and the majestic sentry posts It resurfaced, and before evening, the streets and alleys began to be filled with Dongjiang patrols. The capital, which had been in turmoil since the beginning of this spring, seemed to have restored the peace and tranquility of the former imperial capital overnight.

It's just that the whole empire should be the busiest person now, the king of Liao, Mao Jue, actually skipped work at this juncture.

Mao Leng stayed in the palace to put on a show, with only about [-] personal guards, under the command of Mao Liying, Mao Jue slipped out of the palace in a low-key manner.

As the Liao soldiers entered the city, Andingfang, where the rich and powerful once gathered, finally began to slowly regain its vitality. The bruised Hou and Bo took the things that they had managed to hide these days, and moved back to themselves full of regret. house.

Ji Guogong is one of them, and this place is busier than other houses. After all, a big fire burned down the main building completely. Even if the other courtyards were not affected by the fire, there was a lot of dust. Both need cleaning.

Fortunately, Pang Dashan of the navy was a close minister of Mao Jue's family. He sent two brigades of more than 200 people to help him. The bedding was carried from the navy's logistics. settle down.

A graceful figure in a long skirt stood in the yard like a spinning top and commanded. In her dispatch, whether it was the surviving servants or the sailors who came to help, they were all in good order and arranged things according to the rules. Be well behaved.

Only occasionally, when she looked at the door, she slightly revealed the anticipation and apprehension of a young woman.

While he was busy, a cough suddenly came from the house, and then leaning on a birthday crutch, Mao Wenlong walked out of the house unsteadily, glanced at her, then at the empty door, the old man couldn't bear it. Live sighed.

"A-Jiao, don't wait, that bastard is with me. It's his first day in town. He may be so busy these days that he won't have time to go home in a short time!"

Disappointment was evident in the bright pupils, but her face remained calm, and Chen Jiao nodded slightly.

"Understood, dad, you go to rest first, tidy up these things, and I will go back to sleep in my body!"

"You, oh"

Sighing heavily, shaking his head, Grandpa Mao turned around helplessly and walked into the house, turning around again to continue commanding, but at this moment, Chen Jiao was also a little lost, becoming absent-minded.

But at this time, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the mansion, and the voice of a sailor's exasperated voice came in loudly from outside the mansion gate.

"Who are you? This is the residence of the Duke of Ji, the old man's house, you, oh! Someone broke in!"

A Ye Zi slammed into each other, and there was obviously confusion. Mao Wenlong stopped in astonishment and looked out in surprise. Chen Jiao also frowned, but she still had to wait for her to figure out what was going on. A black figure suddenly rushed in from the entrance of the yard, grabbed her slender waist, and amidst her screams, led her to whirl and lean against the big grape vine in the yard.

A whisper sounded in her ears, and the struggling Chen Jiao froze there for a moment as if struck by lightning.

"You're alive, that's great!"

Thousands of words can't be worth a little concern, looking at the same red eye circles, listening to the trembling and surprised voice, unable to hold back, two clear tears hung in the corners of Chen Jiao's eyes, and fell down. In a second, there is no more Mrs. Yipin, Princess Liao.Hugging Mao Jue's back with both hands, Chen Jiao buried her face deeply in his embrace, crying loudly.

"This bastard!"

Shaking his head helplessly, looking at the two people embracing each other, Mao Wenlong's grizzled beard couldn't help but provoke a smile, and suddenly hummed a little song, this old man seemed to be a few years younger, Shaking his head briskly, he went back to the house.

This night, very warm

Chapter 597. The Regent

Thanks a lot to Adelaine.

In the beginning, Mao Jue released Lu Zhong as an eyeliner in the capital, purely to protect the top and bottom of the Mao Mansion, but Lu Zhong's ability was a bit beyond expectations. Later, the more energy he exerted, the more energy involved in protecting the Mao Mansion. On the contrary, it is getting smaller and smaller. At this time, the confidential secretary in charge of logistics, Adelena, made a decision. She divided the intelligence personnel into two groups, and handed over the spying operations in the capital to Lu Zhong, who became the shopkeeper. Tang's branch has part of its function to monitor Lu Zhong, and the rest of its energy is to protect the Mao Mansion.

So when Lu Zhong was busy arranging the eyeliner, the old and young Tang could play a protective role in the most stupid and direct way, digging a tunnel directly from the well-established shop to the Ji Kingdom's mansion.

However, it was precisely because the two intelligence agencies were not affiliated with each other and lacked sufficient communication. When Lu Zhong was trapped in the Ji State Mansion, Xiao Tang could not do much to support him. At that time, the passage was almost completed. On the day of burning the building, the fire burned the foundation of the Mao Mansion, and Xiao Tang's subordinates rushed to work. It was really a critical moment, and they rushed to transport Chen Jiao out of the ground.

It was also fortunate that Liu Zongmin didn't investigate carefully when he was about to set off. After hiding in the old shop for more than half a month, the situation was reversed. Mao Jue's navy counterattacked the capital, and when Mao Wenlong returned, Chen Jiao also reappeared.

But even so, Mao Jue was still so angry that his teeth were itching. In the middle of the night after the decisive battle, Adelaina reported the news to Mao Jue, mainly to stop his massacre of the prisoners of the Dashun Army. If you are responsible, it is estimated that Mao Jue will have to keep it in the dark until the capital sees Chen Jiao in person.

It is also the gentleness of women in this era, virtuous and virtuous. If in later generations, if Mao Jue had a girlfriend, if the girlfriend risked his life for him, he would have to go shopping and buy bags desperately coaxing, but to For Chen Jiao, a gentle hug is enough to capture her heart, leaving behind so many days of fear and suffering.

Originally, Mao Jue came back in a hurry to make up for this woman, but in the end, it was still Chen Jiao who greeted him with gentle service.

Pulling Mao Jue to let him go back to his room to rest, regardless of the time being late, Chen Jiao cooked for him by herself and copied two light side dishes for him.

There is no vigorous life and death, no gluey sweet talk, when you are most tired, a soft corn kernel is gently rubbed on your back, washing away the tension and blood caused by the life and death battle for you, relying on the bathtub, in this house In the harbor, Mao Jue unconsciously lowered his head and let out a heavy snoring sound.

Gently stroking his scarred but firm back, Chen Jiao's bright eyes were full of tenderness and love.

For people like Mao Jue, a leisurely family life is also a luxury. In the early morning of the next day, when Mao Jue was still in a deep sleep, the sound of hurried horseshoes suddenly sounded at the gate of the Duke of Ji. up.

This time can be regarded as the most special and sensitive moment in Liao Town. After staying up all night yesterday, his eyes were red like rabbits. Mao Li came to the door anxiously. First, he bowed heavily to his old master Mao Wenlong. Immediately, there was another hasty call to the door.

Really full of waking up, I haven't been so reluctant for a long time. After being pushed three times by Chen Jiao, Mao Jue just muttered and rubbed his eyes to get up. Before dawn, Mao Jue was pushed out the door.

"I'll be back tonight!"

A basin of cold water woke me up, and before leaving, Mao Jue made a solemn promise again, but here, Chen Jiao's side of a career-oriented housewife was revealed, she was solemnly facing Mao Jue He bowed and asked with clasped fists.

"My husband cares about the world and the country all my life, and I ask my husband to put business affairs first. I am a wife, so how dare I miss you!"

"Yes, what the virtuous wife said is very true, I went for my husband!"

He promised well, and made up his mind to sneak back at night, and smiled at Chen Jiao. Mao Jue turned over and was about to get on the horse, but before he got up, he turned around and was among the crowd seeing him off at the palace However, a little guy's eyes full of hostility fell heavily on him.

Mao Jue immediately slapped his head in distress.

To be honest, he really doesn't have the awareness of being a father. Su Yi takes his daughter with him on weekdays, and the son Yu Leer raised for him is still young. He is busy with the military these days, and he also asks this girl to take care of the child in Shenyang. As for himself The eldest son, Chen Jiao came to the capital as a hostage with a big belly, and this was the first time he met.

The little guy was obviously very dissatisfied with the bastard man who occupied his mother, hiding behind a maid, but stared at him angrily with his fists twisted.

How to get along with children, even if Mao Jue is full of conspiracy, he is also a noob in this regard. Seeing the father and son's big eyes and small eyes, even Chen Jiao was a little dazed, and she was dumbfounded before she said sternly.

"Xingjian, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to your father!"
