In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Gu Lichao looked carefully at the eunuch, and remembered something. The eunuch team in the Ming Dynasty was huge. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were about 4 eunuchs and maids in the palace. Worked as a mine supervisor in mines.

Did this dynasty called Hou Chu also have the same tradition of eunuchs and supervising troops as the late Ming Dynasty?Gu Li secretly had a feeling that there was not much difference between the later Chu and the Ming Dynasty, only one was surnamed Gu and the other was surnamed Zhu.

Gu Li couldn't help but feel a little powerless. Could it be that the fate of Hou Chu is also like the Ming Dynasty, powerless?

The soldiers knelt down to salute, Gu Li ordered everyone to excuse themselves, and said a few words of comfort and encouragement.He saw a group of soldiers with red eyes and resentment on their faces, presumably they had been resenting the incompetent original owner for a long time.

If they can't be appeased, the rebel army will come to the city, and it will be bad if there is another mutiny.

Gu Li stood still and shouted: "Come here! Take Wang Zheng down! Take him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

The eunuch Wang Zheng, who had been following him all the time, was startled immediately, his legs went limp, and he knelt down to cry for grievances.Gu Lixin said that there is no other way, these soldiers are about to go to the battlefield for me, and they need to be appeased, although they don't know what the eunuch did, but he can guess a thing or two when he hears Xiao Tan scolding him for causing chaos.Let him be Yang Yuhuan first to appease the anger of the soldiers.

Gu Li continued to perform passionately online: "I was blinded by this thief. I didn't see with my eyes, and didn't hear with my ears. It hurt the people all over the world, and it also hurt all the soldiers. Now wars are raging, the people are displaced, and people are dying. ashamed!"

As Gu Li said, he bent down and tried to squeeze out two tears.He deliberately scolded himself a few more words, but because he didn't know what the original owner had done, he could only borrow Chongzhen's sinful edict and scolded himself: "My husband Jianzhou is originally a barbarian, and I am a child in Liufeng. Yu Deyi, how dare you go against my words and deeds. With the prosperity of the world, there are many people who are civil and military. You have no choice but to boast and cheat, but the real merit is rare. Thinking in the middle of the night, I am already too ashamed and angry!"

Gu Li tried his best to mobilize his emotions, pretending to be regretful, and said to grandma, hurry up and come to someone with a little insight, and take over my scene!

At this moment, an official finally spoke out, sighing and sighing: "The people in the world are devastated, and the people are displaced. How can you blame His Majesty? It's us who are the courtiers..."

For a while, the voices of self-blame came one after another.When Cao Cunlin saw Wang Zheng being escorted down amidst a lot of scolding, his face was pale, as if he had seen a ghost.

Yang Hongjian came up quickly and helped Gu Li stand up, his beard trembling with excitement.Gu Li pressed his arm and said: "Yang Shangshu, today I swear to live and die with the capital, if the rebels don't retreat for a day, I won't go down to the city for a day!"

The soldiers were quite moved when they saw it, and those who originally planned to find another way out did not dare to come forward.I don't know who took the lead, all the soldiers shouted in unison: "The city is alive and the people are alive, and the city is dead and the people are dead! I swear to live and die with Your Majesty!"

Gu Li ordered people to take Wang Zhengxian into the jail of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then followed Yang Hongjian into the guard tower of the city tower.

Gu Li carefully looked at Yang Hongjian, this Yang Shangshu had a gray beard, he was already old, and it was really not easy to fight on the battlefield.

Just now Gu Li did something to buy people's hearts, but Yang Hongjian was quite surprised. It didn't seem like something the emperor could do. Yang Hongjian was thinking about it when he heard Gu Li ask: "How is the battle going?"

Yang Hongjian brought him to the outpost, a field to the south, where the rebels camped.

Gu Li squinted his eyes and couldn't see anything. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "What's the name of this rebel leader? He can't be called Li Zicheng, right?"

Yang Hong was disappointed when he saw that the situation had deteriorated to such an extent that His Majesty didn't even remember the name of the leader of the rebel army, so he replied indifferently: "The leader of the rebel army calls himself Yishicao, his surname is Zhang, and his name is Ci'er."

Gu Li nodded, history has turned into a fork in the road, it is not surprising that people who have appeared in the history of Ming Dynasty disappeared.He just walked along the way, and met many Beijing officials and military generals, Zuo Liangyu, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang and other famous military generals in the late Ming Dynasty, but now there are no such people at all.

At this time, a sentry came in quickly and saluted Gu Li and Yang Hongjian.Seeing his anxious expression, Gu Li said, "What's the matter with you, but it's okay to say."

The sentinel replied: "The spies have come to report that the rebels have prepared ten crossbows and are preparing to attack the city with fire tonight. They have prepared fire oil rockets in the southeast direction."

Yang Hong's face changed slightly when he saw it, and he said in a deep voice, "Understood, you can step back."

The sentinel retreated, Gu Li smiled and said: "These people plan to attack the city with fire in the southeast direction?"

The north wind is bound to blow tonight. What are these rebels thinking? They set off rockets in the southeast direction, fearing that they will burn themselves in the end.

Yang Hongjian was not as relaxed as he was, with a dignified expression, and explained: "There is a celestial master in the rebel army, who is good at the art of wind horns, watching stars and holding ghosts, nine out of ten. Since they plan to set fire from the southeast, it must be It's pretty sure."

Gu Li smirked slightly: "Nine times out of ten, I will definitely fail this time. There will be a northerly wind and rain tonight!"

Yang Hongjian shook his head in his heart, it is already spring, how could the north wind be blowing, what kind of crazy is His Majesty talking about!

Gu Li said firmly: "Yang Shangshu, the north wind is blowing tonight, and since the rebels plan to attack from the southeast, then we just plan to use it!"

Yang Hongjian nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, what your Majesty said is true, I will arrange it now."

Gu Liman thought he had heard it, and said proudly: "I'm standing here at the outpost, helping Yang Aiqing to observe the wind direction!"

After he said that, he stood in front of the window, stretched out his hands to feel the direction of the wind and the air humidity, and then took a look at the sunset glow in the sky. The north wind had to wait for about three hours, that is, six hours, and it might be midnight.

Yang Hong saw and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will go and arrange the layout first."

Gu Li nodded.Yang Hongjian walked out of the gate tower quickly and saw Xiao Tan wandering around, so he called him quickly.

Xiao Tan was the young soldier who threatened Gu Li in the palace. He explained everything in the palace. Yang Hongjian was very surprised and asked, "Did Your Majesty never punish you?"

Xiao Tan was also very confused: "Dog...Your Majesty only asked Xiaozhi to come with him, and didn't say anything else. Yang Shangshu, if Your Majesty wants to settle accounts after the autumn, this matter will be entirely undertaken by Xiaozhi!"

Yang Hongjian shook his head, and comforted him: "Get over the current difficulty first, then we can talk about it! You go and call Guo Zongbing and Deputy General Tian."

The sun was setting and the light in the surrounding fields was gradually dimming. There was no star or moon in the sky. Gu Li took a deep breath and was thinking about how to solve the immediate urgent need. When he turned his head, he saw a little man, clinging to the edge of the door, revealing a Head, secretly looked at him.

"Huo! What?!"

Gu Li was startled, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a human cub.He heard the cub call him softly, "Royal Father."

Gu Li was taken aback, grabbed the tinder on the table and tried to light the lamp first, but after wiping for a long time, it didn't turn on.It must be due to the high humidity in the air, and the tinder is a little damp.

The cub had already walked in, staggered, leaped forward, hugged Gu Li's leg, softly and coquettishly called out again: "Father."

Gu Li's whole body was stiff, and he lowered his head to look at it. The biological age of the cub was about three years old, and he had just reached Gu Li's knee. He was still wearing winter clothes, and he was round and bulging. The light in the room was dim, and his face could not be seen clearly.

At this time, a servant came in with his head bowed, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, the palace is in a mess right now, and the villain was afraid that someone would hurt the little highness, so he made a proposition and brought the little highness here. Here, please His Majesty punish you."

There is going to be a war here, and it is not a safe place, but human cubs are such fragile creatures, so don't worry if they are tied to the waistband of their trousers.Gu Li asked stiffly, "Who are you?"

"The villain is Yu Guangle, who is a servant beside Guo Xuan."

"Yu Guangle, stop kneeling and light this lamp for me first."

The house finally became much brighter.Gu Li took a closer look at the human cub, and saw that his lips were red and his teeth were white, his fragrance was soft and soft, and he was wearing Yuxue cutely. As soon as he got rid of the debuff of stiffness, he got the debuff of charm again in an instant, and he couldn't help but love him. He hugged him and said: " Little guy, there is going to be a war outside, are you afraid?"

His Highness's eyes were round and pitch-black, he glanced out of the window in horror, put his arms around Gu Li's neck, Gu Li patted his back and comforted him: "Your father is here, what are you afraid of?"

As soon as the words came out, Gu Li burst into tears.Even without a wife, can you say the word "Father Emperor" so smoothly?Human cubs are indeed the most powerful creatures in the world!

Gu Li told Yu Guangle to step back first, walked to the window with the cub in his arms, and whispered, "Father has a few questions to test you."

The cub hummed.

"Father asks you, what is your name?"

"My name is Little Highness, everyone calls me Little Highness."

"Little guy, Father asked your name!"

"My name is..." The cub scratched his head and thought for a while, then replied, "The emperor's grandmother calls me Youzhen."

"Then in this palace, who do you like the most?"

In a few words, Gu Li came up with a lot of information. Coincidentally, the original owner was also named Gu Li, which was good, so he had to change his name and surname to get used to it.The child's biological mother, a concubine of the original owner, died of dystocia during childbirth. Now Gu Youzhen is being raised by a servant named Guo Xuan in the harem, and Yu Guangle is the servant serving next to Guo Xuan.There is also a queen mother in the harem who eats fast and recites Buddha all day long. She is not the biological mother of the original owner, and she doesn't usually take care of things.

That's good, it saved Gu Li a lot of trouble.Otherwise, at this time of internal and external troubles, it is necessary to deal with the disputes between the harem and foreign relatives, wouldn't it be life-threatening.

Gu Li went out with Gu Youzhen in his arms, and the servants standing outside the door hurriedly followed, and a group of people walked around the city.The soldiers were busy transporting arrows, stones and fuel to the southeast. After asking, they found out that the only two Hongyi cannons in the city were placed at the Guangqumen and Zuoanmen in the southeast. Gu Li was surprised and didn’t know why. Only to prepare firearms in the southeast, and asked someone to find out that it was Yang Hong who ordered everyone to arrange them in the southeast to prevent the rebels from attacking from the southeast.

Gu Lixin said: It seems that Yang Hongjian doesn't believe what I said at all, not only doesn't believe it, he probably thinks that I'm directing blindly.

Gu Li was a little depressed, but he really couldn't win the trust of Yang Hongjian now. Do you want him to meet Yang Hong about popular science and weather knowledge?He can speak clearly, but Yang Hongjian may not be able to understand.

Gu Li thought for a while, and said to the people beside him, "Go get that soldier named Xiao Tan just now."
