Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

Won!

The wise emperor did not make trouble!

As Yu Qianyu Shangshu, who is "a white jade pillar that lifts up the sky and sets up a purple golden beam across the sea", he won!

The soldiers took the lead bravely. Although they were sent to the city and fought fiercely for several days, they won!

Rejoicing inside and outside the palace, Yu Shangshu let out a long breath, his eyes darkened and he almost passed out.

He is almost arbitrary these days. He didn't want to be like this at first, but everyone else's suggestions were wrong. Fortunately, he won now!

In addition to Empress Qian's concern for her husband, only the families of the soldiers who were killed or injured in the battle under the city were full of sorrow and joy, so it is needless to elaborate.

Also first rolled up the emperor and fled outside the pass. Fleeing is the same as paying tribute, it is a desperate march.

Zhu Qizhen was knocked to the point of death again, half happy and half confused in his heart, so he drifted with the crowd.I thought I could see the lonely smoke in the desert outside the customs, but the result was the same as in the past. When I set up camp at night and made a fire to cook, the smoke was billowing, covering the sky and the sun. There is a smell of roast meat and cooking soup in the middle, but mainly a smell of stinky smoke, which is different from when it was first caught.

He didn't know that when they were near Juyongguan, Wala's army cut down trees for cooking and used up the entire forest. After entering Guanzhong, they had looted rice, flour, grain, oil, and of course coal and firewood. Now they have withdrawn from the pass and recovered. original way of life.

Zhu Qizhen thought that his mother was finally safe and would not become a prisoner, and began to be curious about life: "What are they burning, the smoke is so big!" The imperial dining room in the palace also cooks and fry for thousands of people every day Cooking all kinds of dishes, I can see the smoke in that direction, but much less smoke than here.

Yuan Bin replied, "What was burned was horse dung."

Zhu Qizhen turned pale with shock, covered his mouth and nose with disgust on his face: "What!"

Yuan Bin told him carefully: "The emperor doesn't know. There are not so many forests on the grassland. There are some, but they are not enough for burning fire every day. The grass on the ground can be burned, but it can't be collected, and horses and sheep have to eat grass. Horses and sheep eat grass. The dung balls pulled out by the sheep and sheep are almost all hay, and they don’t smell very bad. You can boil a pot of water by picking up a small pile, and sprinkle the leftover ashes on the grass, which can also be used as fertilizer. If there is a little Moisture, there will be black smoke."

Horse dung and sheep dung are burned outside the pass, and cattle farmers also burn cow dung.

Zhu Qizhen: I want to vomit!

After the symptoms lasted for a long time, he didn't eat or drink water at night, and he didn't want to eat early the next morning.

The emperor is so precious, he feels disgusted when he sees his own body, not to mention the smell of burning horse dung.

After hearing about this, he came to visit in person. After being defeated by the Ming army, he learned from the pain and decided to be more polite to the emperor/overlord.As soon as the curtain was lifted, he walked in with a pleasant smile: "I heard that the Holy Majesty doesn't think about food and drink. Could it be that there is something wrong with our serving? Who made you angry?"

Zhu Qizhen was puzzled: "Grand Master..." What is the intention?What's the point?

Yexian's intention is very simple, since the Ming Dynasty is so powerful, it can't be offended, I will treat you well and take good care of you.Alas, after losing the war this time, Tuotuobuhuahan must have doubts about me, and I may have to find a way out.

Thinking of this, his face was full of joy: "The Holy Majesty must think that the food is not good, please come and eat in my tent."

Zhu Qizhen's heart warmed up, my mother changed the new emperor unambiguously, and Zhu Qiyu succeeded to the throne quickly, now I'm just a powerless overlord, you still miss me.Out of emotion and reason... He was picked up by someone, and he lifted it up again: "I don't want to disturb you."

Yuan Bin secretly looked at his face, alas.

He is already an old fox in his 50s and 20s, and it is not easy to coax a young man in his [-]s who has no experience of the world: "You and I have just suffered a disastrous defeat. There is a saying in Zhongyuan, which is to use wine to drown your sorrows. Why not have a drink together?"

Zhu Qizhen was happy and angry at the same time, he was happy because he also lost first, and angry because the ministers of the court and the central government did everything right, Zhu Qiyu tried his best to turn the tide, and I was the only one who did wrong things inside and out. "Okay. I also want to see how the grand master is well-clothed and well-fed."

"Don't dare to be, it's far worse than the emperor, it's just more meat and milk."

He also took the emperor to his tent first, and when he entered the tent, he moved the emperor up: "I was busy with raids a few days ago, I didn't have a rest, and I didn't have time to entertain your majesty. Please forgive me. Your majesty, sit down first, and I will be with you." The younger brother is serving." Two of his younger brothers were killed outside Beijing, and there were several other younger brothers, all of whom were strong generals in the army.

After a meal, the emperor had a good chat with him, mainly about business.

Also first praised the Ming army's tyrannical weapons.

The emperor praised the Oirats for their bravery and fearlessness.

Also first praise the emperor's court for its abundance of talents.

The emperor praised him for using soldiers like gods first.

He also touted the emperor's art of war as immature, just lacking experience.

The emperor touted that it was the blessing of Wala to have the first grand master.

Chatting is like this, if you blow to each other, it is easy to chat happily.Unreasonable, not serious, no matter what you do, you will be very happy.

After returning, the emperor sighed with emotion: "Everyone is his own country, I don't need to hate him so much, it's because my skills are not as good as others."

……

Zhu Qiyu felt that being an emperor is not difficult at all, as long as you don't make trouble for the ministers, don't make up your own mind, listen to opinions in everything, know people and do them well, you can achieve what the sages said to rule the world.It's not difficult. Up to now, no minister has said that he did not do well.

Concubine Wu was respected as Empress Dowager Wu, and she was listed as empress dowager of the two palaces with Empress Dowager Sun, and her father was also able to shine in the family.Empress Qian moved to live in Empress Dowager Sun's palace, while Empress Wang was in the middle palace, but the Hang family who gave birth to a child was named a noble concubine.

Empress Qian began to live a life of asceticism, hoping to move the heavens, sleeping on straw mats, offering incense and prostrating all day long, begging the Haotian God, the Queen Mother, and Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless the emperor to come back intact.

These had nothing to do with the prince, the prince was just forced to put on thick clothes, and soon he was going to wear a padded jacket. He clumsily rolled around on the bed, jumped off the ground, and ran all over the ground.

"Sister Wan! Sister Wan! Sister Wan!"

After searching inside and outside the house for a long time, the maids of honor followed behind him, with their hands open, for fear that he would fall. From a distance, it looked like a group of people chasing a little fat rooster.

Wan Zhen'er was not found.

Immediately, little baby Zhu's eyes turned red, and he looked at the nuns with the annoyance of a child, and shouted, "It's strong!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I'm sending someone to look for it."

"Looking for it soon."

"Sister Wan is here, she will be here soon."

Nanny Zhu was secretly anxious, if the Queen Mother finds out about this, I'll see what you will do.

Baby Zhu sat and waited for her for a long time (actually it was time for a cup of tea), then jumped up and stomped: "Man! Man!"

Wan Zhen'er was at the front, and the little eunuch next to Jin Ying asked how the defense of the capital was successful. The little fire fighters usually took on the role of the background board, standing by the side with things in their hands, although they had no part to speak, But they could hear clearly how the ministers met and how the army reported.

I went to the Imperial Dining Room to buy meat crisps (those with little fires have to serve people and have no time to eat banquets), bought a lot of sugar, and came with my things.

Little flamers: "Yo~ Miss Wan~"

"The people in front of Empress Dowager Sun~"

"His Royal Highness is strong~"

"Sister Strong~"

Her nickname has spread. Many people have heard that the prince is looking for Zhuang Zhuang, but later they found out that Miss Wan is Zhuang Zhuang.

Wan Zhen'er laughed: "Brothers, don't laugh at me, we are all waiters~ Come, try the freshly baked shortbread, stuffed with dried plums, vegetables and meat."

She put the basket on the table, opened the cloth on top, and opened the oil paper, revealing the eight catties of shortbread inside.The shortbread is very round, only one and a half inches in size. The baked skin is golden and crispy. The meat is soft and rotten with old soup.

The little flamers held one each: "Well, it's delicious."

"This is delicious."

"Thank you very much."

Wan Zhen'er watched them eat with a smile, and saw that the food was almost ready: "Brothers, tell me how the city of Beijing is defended. I heard in the uterus that Yu Shangshu used soldiers like a god. How much is it?" God."

"That's a long story."

"Yeah, I've been fighting for many days."

"Yu Shangshu is very godly, the emperor praises him, and the emperor is about to give him the crown prince Shaobao."

"Grandpa Jin admires him."

Jin Ying just slipped out to take a lazy drink of water: "Hey! Sister Wan, you are a rare visitor."

Wan Zhen'er laughed: "Grandpa Jin, you are blessed! You are taking care of everything in front of you, so I dare not come here to disturb you. It is not because the crown prince has an order, so I have come to ask your elder brothers for help." In fact, the crown prince did not order, she Just curious myself.She saw Jin Ying staring at the basket with burning eyes, and took out two packs of hardcover snacks (actually the same thing) in the basket: "This is to honor you."

Jin Ying was also really hungry, the emperor held a meeting with civil and military officials in high spirits, and talked for four hours, the discussion was so excited that he forgot to sleep and eat.He stood beside him for four hours, unable to speak, neither eating nor drinking, it was really unbearable.Even after eating and drinking, he quickly followed the four shortbreads down, and asked vaguely: "Little girl is pulling a tiger skin to make a banner, the prince is only two years old, what else can I tell you besides drinking milk?"

Wan Zhen'er said: "The prince listens to stories before going to bed. I grew up in the palace, so what is the story? Tell him the story of Yu Shangshu's strategizing."

Jin Yingdao: "Children can't understand this matter, and find it boring."

"Don't you just fall asleep if you're bored~" Wan Zhen'er smiled apologetically, "Grandpa Jin, you have pity on me, it's too difficult to coax children."

Jin Ying thought for a while: "You guys tell her." He got up and went into the screen to relieve himself, and then went back.

The little firemen ate and drank tea in a hurry, and told her everything the emperor had heard.Among these people, there were those who played the fan behind the emperor, and those who poured tea for the ministers next to them, and they heard everything very well.

After spending five taels of silver in exchange for half an hour's story, Wan Zhen'er went back satisfied.

After telling the story for half an hour and exchanging eight catties of shortbread, the little fire fighters started counting the shortbread contentedly and divided them equally.

Wan Zhen'er hummed non-tunable music in a low voice, walked happily to the East Palace, and heard hysterical crying as soon as she entered the door.

"My ancestor, you are back! The crown prince didn't see you for a while, so he started to cry. What are you doing! Why are you coming back now! When the crown prince tears his eyes and throat out of tears, the empress must teach you a lesson!"

Wan Zhen'er rushed into the house: "I'm back!"

Baby Zhu has been crying for half an hour, and his face was washed with tears. He cried while drinking water, and the tears kept falling, wetting seven or eight handkerchiefs.Now his fat face was flushed from crying, tears and snot were streaming down his nose, and the nuns wiped him gently.

Wan Zhen'er saw that his face was swollen from crying, and she felt very guilty. She thought that she would go out while the prince was sleeping and come back before he woke up. How could he wake up so quickly! "Hey, baby, I'm back."

It was as if the prince had turned off the valve, and he stopped crying at that time: "Burr~ hum!"

Turn around and get angry.

"Hiccup~"

"Hiccup~"

Wan Zhen'er poked her head from the left with a playful smile: "Your Highness~"

Little Zhu Baobao turned to the right.

Wan Zhen'er is so agile and nimble, she immediately poked her head over from the right: "Baby~"

Baby Zhu turned around again.

Wan Zhen'er changed her side and probed over again: "Guess what I did?"

Baby Zhu stretched out her chubby hand, and tried to push her face away: "Humph! Humph! Ignore you! Hiccup~" He hiccupped from crying,

The nuns watched her trying to tease the little prince with cold eyes, hum, who told you to go out and be lazy.

Wan Zhen'er tried her best and failed to make him laugh, she almost fell to the ground and turned somersaults to show him, she had an idea: "I'm going out to find out the whereabouts of the Supreme Emperor!"

"Huh, hiccup~" Zhu Jianshen didn't turn around this time. Although he was young, he gradually knew that his father was lost in the past three months.

Wan Zhen'er took the opportunity to hold him in her arms, and patted him on the back lightly: "The villain who captured the Supreme Emperor has come to the capital."

Zhu Jianshen was attracted: "What is the capital?"

Wan Zhen'er told him that we live in the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City has a hall in front and a bedroom in the back, there is a circle outside the Forbidden City, called the inner city, and there is a circle outside the inner city, called the outer city.Then she counted the delicious foods in the outer city, such as frozen persimmons, candied haws, black dates, fried beans, deep-fried dough sticks, meat pies, roast duck, and meat buns in winter—in fact, she didn’t eat anything.

The food outside the palace tastes a bit stronger than inside the palace, but what is more delicious is the freedom to eat outside the palace.

After Zhu Jianshen listened for a while, his saliva dripped down his chin. Wan Zhen'er wiped his saliva, and told him the story he heard today.

By the way, he coaxed the little prince to wash his face and ate half a piece of trough cake.

Wan Zhen'er threw the remaining half into her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Zhu Jianshen ate the trough cake cut into small pieces: "What about now? Yu Shangshu is so amazing~" He said softly and slowly.

Now the capital is full of 'Yu Chui', and Wan Zhen'er is no exception: "Yes, I heard that Lord Xuande valued him very much, and Lord Zhengtong also valued him."

Zhu Jianshen asked slowly, "Who is that?"

The mother said: "Master Xuande is your grandfather, the husband of the Empress Dowager."

Zhu Jianshen opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Your Majesty, your husband?" Hasn't she always been the Queen Mother?

The nuns gave Wan Zhen'er a veiled look, what happened to this young lady today, she's just trying to find trouble for us.They explained for a long time, and finally let the prince understand that the portraits in the Taimiao are Daddy's father, Daddy's mother and queen, and Daddy's father's father and mother's queen... Then they told the year number.

Zhu Jianshen asked sharply, "Why do they have so many names?"

Wan Zhen'er said: "Your Highness also has many names, there is the prince, there is the prince, there is the prince, and there is the baby, the empress dowager calls you by your name, the emperor calls you nephew~"

Baby Zhu thought for a while, stretched out his chubby hand and scratched his bald head, and laughed: "I am more than them!" Proud!

Wan Zhen'er thought the matter was over. The next day, little baby Zhu was sitting on the chariot, and everyone followed. When they arrived at the Palace of Mercy Ning, the little prince was eating snacks beside the Queen Mother. Zhang Shouyi hooked his hands: "Wan Zhen'er, come here."

He was silent at the front, and walked towards the small courtyard of Wangshang Palace. Wan Zhen'er looked around, feeling a bit like revisiting the old place.

Entering the room, Wang Shanggong was wearing the clothes of a female official, and sat in his seat with frowning: "Close the door!"

Wan Zhen'er closed the door smoothly: "Sister Shanggong"

Wang Shanggong said angrily: "What did you do yesterday! Why didn't you stay with the prince in the East Palace? Didn't you see how the prince was crying? Fortunately, the empress sent me there at that time. If I sent someone else to hear the crying, the empress would listen. If you get angry, you will definitely be angry, and you will be beaten! The prince is crying, but if something happens, can you bear it! Do you think the Oirats have retreated?"

Her voice lowered instantly: "Do you think the crown prince will be safe if the Oirats retreat?"

Wan Zhen'er was startled: "I"

"You go to the little fire fighters in the Qianqing Palace to find out the news! Our family knows." Zhang Shouyi said in an indifferent way: "Lao Jin even sent someone to tell me about the little girl who went out from our house. It's so easy to inquire about gossip. How do you keep the capital? You have a lot of control."

Wang Shanggong said again: "How dare you pass on the decree, saying that the prince wants to know, bah! How old is the prince, and the orthodox emperor has never been close to the prince. If you don't mention it, will the prince think of the emperor? Who does he even recognize?" It's the emperor who depends on his clothes! Look at the dragons on his clothes! Even Empress Qian and Empress Wang can't tell the difference!"

Zhang Shouyi sneered: "You are Sun Dasheng who escaped from Huaguo Mountain, and you are planning to make a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. Look at your ability, let you go to the East Palace to be a female official, but you are not made a princess. You stay up late in the morning and practice martial arts. You don’t shy away from people, you order the little maid at will, and even go to the kitchen of the Qianqing Palace to chat with people, why don’t you just change into the eunuch’s clothes and follow the emperor to be the eunuch of Bingbi! Our family really admires~convince~you~”

Wang Shanggong: "You are still messing around with the prince! No matter how young the prince is, no matter how ignorant he is, he is still the master, and he will be the emperor in the future! You are the king of the palace, so you have to serve the master carefully! It's nothing if you mess around, if something happens to the crown prince, you will die forever!"

Zhang Shouyi said: "You don't know, Empress Qian lost one eye because she missed the emperor. You dare to make the crown prince cry again, ha ha."

Wang Shanggong said: "Don't think that the prince can't do without you for a while! Think about Wang Zhen's fate! He has also served the prince since he was a child. He has been favored by the prince. Now he is serving the prince. To the Oirats!"

Zhang Shouyi: "You have neither talent nor family background, let alone a stunning beauty. Our family really doesn't know where you have the courage to act recklessly."

Wan Zhen'er was scolded by the two together, she didn't care at first, but after hearing it, she began to think about it, after she fell into the East Palace, it was really...sometimes the crown prince got up, and I was still lying down and stretching... Eating from the prince's plate...it's not good.

Seeing the look on her face, Wang Shanggong and Master Zhang knew they had listened: "This time, Sister Wang and I will help you cover it up, if there is another time..."

Wan Zhen'er: "I will never let you down."

The corner of Zhang Shouyi's mouth twitched and he almost laughed out loud: "Stop listening to dramas!"

The three of them went out of the house together, pretending that nothing happened, and when they got to the front, they saw the little prince pawing the cat boredly outside the house, and the door was closed inside.

Wang Shanggong was startled: "What are you talking about in the room?"

The maid at the door said: "Zhou Dalian wants to take care of the prince, but the queen mother disagrees. The queen mother thinks that she is greedy for money and jealous, and she is very petty, and she has the second prince to take care of, leaving the second prince to take care of the prince, obviously... Um."

Wang Shanggong smiled contemptuously and said nothing.

Wan Zhen'er walked over: "Your Highness?"

Zhu Jianshen was a little disappointed and sharp: "My lady, I'm not happy." The two ladies were not happy.

Wan Zhen'er squatted down and stroked the cat with him: "It will be fine."

"Wait until Father comes back, will it be all right?"

Where did Wan Zhen'er know, and said vaguely: "It should be."

Zhu Jianshen asked again: "When will Father come back?"

"Well...in another two years."

Little Zhu Baobao: "Did Yu... Yu... Yu Wushu bring Daddy back?" I can't remember the name Shangshu!

Wan Zhen'er said: "When the Supreme Emperor returns, we will know."

Little Zhu Baobao asked again: "Uncle is the emperor, why does the queen mother cry?"

Wan Zhen'er has never been married before, so how should she answer this question, she said vaguely, "I don't know."

Baby Zhu held his face sadly, pondered for a long time, and stretched out a hand.

Wan Zhen'er knew that his legs were numb from squatting again, so she reached out to help him up, stomped his feet, and moved around, chasing the cat around the yard for a couple of laps.

Back in Chengqian Palace, Wan Zhen'er asked for a pen and paper, wrote a few big characters, and taught him how to read with Mammy Zhu.

It was his third birthday in a few days, the emperor was very happy and gave him a big birthday party, and the other five infant princes also started running around.
