General, please have some candy

"My next official, Sun Chuanting, welcome the holy driver!" Sun Chuanting led the officials of all sizes in Shanxi, and fell to their knees in the loess, splashing yellow mist.

Gu Yue stepped forward, supported Sun Chuanting, took his hand very affectionately, and walked towards the government office.

"Aiqing Luoyang rescued you, you have done a great job."

"Your Majesty strategized and decided to win thousands of miles away. I took advantage of Your Majesty's blessings to defeat the high-ranking thief." Sun Chuanting smiled lightly, with a bit of a bookish air, pointing out the country.

"Haha, Sun Aiqing is too modest, what about Li Zicheng, who is also dead?" Gu Yue has much more obsession with Li Zicheng than Gao Yingxiang.

"This man is young, but he is very brave. I have captured him alive and want to take him for his own use. Does Your Majesty want to see this man?" Sun Chuanting let the emperor take the seat and led all the officials to sit down.

"Call him here, Aiqing's praise makes me curious." Gu Yue held it up, suppressing his strong curiosity, expressing that it's okay to meet.

Sun Chuanting waved his hand towards the door, and several guards led away. Just as Sun Chuanting had introduced a group of officials to the emperor, Li Zicheng escorted him there.

His brows were cold and his head held high, Li Zicheng had the backbone to reject the handsome scholar who sent someone to treat the arrow wound, so now, this proud young man limped over, just raised his head higher, behind him The soldier kicked on the leg, and the tall man knelt on the ground with his teeth bared.

Gu Yue looked at this person, feeling a little mixed in his heart. Chongzhen was the person who broke through the city of Beijing and hanged himself in despair, but it was also this person who was buried for Chongzhen's glory, compared to those officials who ran to the coffin to scold the faint king , It seems a lot of loyalty.

"Hahaha, Li Zicheng, do you feel aggrieved by kneeling down? Where I didn't do well, you can come along one by one." Gu Yue started gently.

Hearing the voice, Li Zicheng turned his head and looked at the seat above. After seeing the emperor's face clearly, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Why are these dignitaries more handsome than the other?

Gu Yue was still smiling, looking at him, waiting for him to enumerate Chongzhen's crimes impassionedly.

"Hmph, indulge your ministers to oppress the common people, corrupt officials are everywhere, that is incompetence, even if you have a simple meal, what can you change, the world is as black as crows, even if you kill four of them, it can't change the fact that the others are still black .” Li Zicheng raised his head again and raised his chin.

The officials sitting in the hall who were beaten into a crowd of black crows all turned black and stared at Li Zicheng fiercely, as soon as they got down, they would beat him up in groups.

"You are Sun Aiqing's defeated general. Sun Aiqing is honest and upright, with outstanding talents. Do you think he is a good official? Gu Yue diverted the gunfire.

Li Zicheng glanced at Sun Chuanting quickly, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

"So, after all, I have such a white crow under my command, it's not too bad, isn't it?" Gu Yue smoothed things over for Chongzhen.

"Hmph, Bai? He has a white face and a dark heart. The person surnamed Sun is the most treacherous person. I have a feud with him. It's not because he is good, but because I don't want to talk about him." Li Zicheng said angrily.

King Chuang is angry?Getting angry at the little boy Sun Chuanting?

Since you think my Ming officials are not good enough, then you can do it!Gu Yue slandered in his heart, but still held it on his face, accusing arrogantly:

"Li Zicheng, don't rebel with the idea of ​​pleading for orders for the people. Apart from causing misery, what good are people who follow you? If you really have ambition, stop internal friction and use all your skills to deal with the Tartars outside the pass. Defend the country and defend the family. Be a real hero." Gu Yue lowered his voice, with a sense of imperial majesty.

Li Zicheng looked over, then tilted his head to look at the calm Sun Chuanting, suddenly pointed his finger, and said sullenly: "Surrender is fine, but I will follow him."

Sun Chuanting, who was chosen by King Chuang, smiled slightly and looked at the emperor.

"Certainly, take it down." The plot reversed rapidly, and Li Zicheng's attitude changed so quickly that Gu Yue was surprised. Originally, he wanted to send him out of customs, but putting him here with Sun Chuanting, who is stable and stable, shouldn't cause any major problems. , and readily agreed.

Sun Chuanting, who was white-faced and dark-hearted, took Li Zicheng as his personal bodyguard for a walk around Taiyuan City the next day. After knowing that the leader of the rebel army had thrown himself into the city, he locked Li Zicheng in a house and arranged for a The military doctor treated him for the arrow wound, and after that, it was as if he had forgotten about this man, and he was never recruited again.

You raise a tiger, not a pet cat. If you don’t sharpen your claws and temper, who would dare to use it?

Gu Yue secretly gave Sun Chuanting a thumbs up, this scholar has a lot of ideas.

When the royal driver was leaving, Sun Chuanting made a special trip to the time-honored brand in Taiyuan to make two barrels of old vinegar and dedicated it to His Majesty the Emperor.

When there was a lack of water along the way, the emperor drank vinegar, until the capital, Gu Yue's breath still smelled of sour vinegar.

As soon as they returned to the palace, they hugged the little prince who had been glued together, and the two of them took a comfortable soak in the hot spring. Before they closed their eyes, they called the prince and asked them to carry them back to the palace.

It wasn't until the next day when the sun was high that Gu Yue woke up to the call of the prince. He was startled, where is the little prince?

"Empress Zhou has been here, and she thinks the little prince is here to trouble the emperor, so she has taken him away." The confidant prince quickly explained.

Gu Yue patted his head, ah, it was a false alarm.

"Your Majesty, several members of the cabinet are waiting in the imperial study."

Gu Yue hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to change clothes for him, and after washing up, he walked quickly to the imperial study room. Several ministers of the cabinet were there, blushing and noisy.

"What is it that caused a few lovers to quarrel from the Wenhua Palace to the Imperial Study?" The tanned and thinner emperor walked in with his hands behind his back, frowning.

The five cabinet ministers hurriedly knelt down to salute, Gu Yue waved his hand: "Forget it, what's the matter?"

Cheng Jiming stepped forward, cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, three days ago, I received a letter from Lin Dan Khan of Chahar, Mongolia, and wanted to form an alliance with my Ming Dynasty again, and jointly deal with Dajin."

"Lin Dan Khan?" Gu Yue frowned, searching his mind carefully, heh, this unfilial descendant of Genghis Khan was chased to Qinghai by Huang Taiji two years later and died of smallpox.And for Daming, he is also capricious, the master who recognizes money but does not recognize people.

"What do you guys think?" Gu Yue raised his head and looked around the five cabinet ministers.

Two of the five said that they could agree to give him some money to help him attack the gold, but the three said no, because with this person's experience in the past, every time the lion would open his mouth, with that money, it would be better to make a few more rounds Cannon, guard Liaodong well.

The five people quarreled again while talking, and in the end the peace faction was directly attacked as traitors, and the combat faction was said to be short-sighted.

Gu Yue was so disturbed that his brain ached. He propped his head and waved his hands weakly. When he saw the five people stop, he opened his mouth slowly:

"In my opinion, the biggest threat to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty is not Lin Danhan's Chahar tribe, but the Horqin tribe that is closest to us. Where did the golden soldiers under Beijing come from?"

The clever Zhou Yanru raised his eyebrows and asked the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to marry Horqin or Chahar?"

The other four older courtiers shook their heads slightly when they heard this.

Gu Yue cried and laughed, and joked: "Oba of Horqin has stuffed his sister and daughter into Huang Taiji's harem, but there is no daughter who is waiting to be married to marry me. I really don't have that Yanfu

The five people also followed suit, and Gu Yue said again: "Besides, Oba and Huang Taiji formed an alliance of white horse and black ox six years ago, and their love is stronger than gold."

Although Xu Guangqi was the oldest, he was the most open-minded. He looked at the emperor who was still thinking about joking, and he cupped his hands and said, "Since the two of them can form an alliance, I, Da Ming, can also form an alliance with Lin Danhan. The girl from Horqin is not However, Chahar Lindan Khan has several beautiful daughters, and His Majesty's blessings are still generous."

Several high-ranking ministers followed suit and laughed unscrupulously.

Gu Yue blushed, not because he was thin-skinned, but because he knew that he was not interested in women at all. If he really sent a wedding princess, he really didn't know how to put it, so he changed the topic unnaturally.

"Lin Dan Khan is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan. Although he is a bit ambitious and talented, but the alliance ceremony is the most important thing. I plan to learn from that Huang Taiji and have an alliance with him first. What do you think?"

It was rare for the important officials to unify their opinions on this, and Mr. Xu was worried about the location of the alliance and safety.

"Xu Aiqing doesn't have to worry. Let Yuan Zongbing take full responsibility for the alliance. He will arrange the location and guards. Please rest assured." At the border, besides Yuan Chonghuan, Gu Yue couldn't think of anyone who was more loyal than him.

"Okay, the old minister will make arrangements now. Is His Majesty going to do it with great fanfare or in secret?"

"It's done in secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better." Gu Yue said calmly.

"Yes" the five bowed their hands and retreated.Just as Gu Yue was about to pick up his teacup and take a sip of tea, he saw Jin Yiwei standing at the door with a hesitant look on his face. Gu Yue beckoned him to come in.

As soon as Te walked in, he fell to his knees and handed over a piece of jade pendant. Gu Yue took it and saw that it was the one given to Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, and asked, "How is that kid?"

Te Yi sighed and said: "Excellent talent, but always bored by himself. Yesterday when I heard His Majesty came back, I took the jade begging for a humble position and came to see the Emperor. Hope to see His Majesty."

"Okay, take him to the school grounds." Gu Yue stood up, took the jade pendant, and walked towards the school grounds.

Before finishing a set of sword skills, he heard two footsteps, Gu Yue stopped, turned around, and saw the little boy.

The food in the palace is good, and there is no wind or rain every day. This young man has grown a lot taller, with red lips and white teeth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, very good-looking.

Following Te Yi's salute to the emperor in front of him, the young boy just stared blankly at Gu Yue, unable to think of anything to say for a while.
