Chapter 520: Empress Zhou advises Emperor Chongzhen

After recuperating in Chahanhot for more than ten days, Wang Zhizheng recovered, and during this time, living in this small city on the Mongolian steppe, Wang Zhizheng felt an unprecedented calm. It seems that this victory has nothing to do with him. Every day, he lives in the luxurious Han family mansion dedicated to him by Lin Dan, which is no different from the capital.

But the Jingshi, who was thousands of miles away, was almost shocked and boiling!

This time Chahar victory, and the last Xianbeilia Fort victory, and Yantong victory was merged into the "Chongzhen Three Victory", Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru know that Wang Zhizheng has made an immortal achievement this time, it is really unstoppable, if you confront him head-on, I am afraid it is impossible, because the current Wang Zhizheng has unprecedented prestige in the Ming Empire, and Wang Zhizheng has an unshakable status in the hearts of scholars, soldiers, and businessmen of the Ming Empire!

Emperor Chongzhen heard that Chahar was victorious, annihilated the three flags of Huang Taiji, Emperor Chongzhen was so excited that he almost jumped up, he ran to the harem like a child, and went directly to the palace Cining Palace, the dormitory of Zhou Hou, and when he saw Zhou Hou, he picked her up and said excitedly: "Guess what is good today?"

Zhou Hou saw that the emperor was so happy today, so she said with a smile: "If the emperor has any good things, tell the concubines to come and hear about it, and be happy together!"

Before Zhou Hou finished speaking, Chongzhen said happily: "Wang Zhizheng has won another great victory in Chahar and annihilated Huang Taiji's Zhenghuang Banner! Hahaha! Lin Dan's capital Chahanhot has been preserved, and Huang Taiji has no choice but to retreat in Jianzhou for a while and dare not come out!"

Zhou Hou also said happily: "Really, it's rare for Wang Zhizheng to be so brave, now the situation in our empire is not optimistic, Wang Zhizheng's great victory has boosted the empire!"

Chongzhen nodded and said: "Yes! After this great victory, it is equivalent to saying that our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have taken a reassuring pill, and they all say that we can't fight Jianzhou, how about it, not all the troops of his two banners of Huang Taiji! Wang Zhizheng has returned to Beijing, and I will send him to the northwest to run the military of northern Shaanxi!"

After hearing Chongzhen's words, Zhou Hou said with some concern: "Your Majesty, there are Hong Chengchou and Yang He in northern Shaanxi, one is the main suppression, the other is the main care, the situation is very good, the commercial tax support in northern Shaanxi in the past two years, the technical people have been pacified, and there are fewer thieves, and Wang Zhizheng is transferred to northern Shaanxi, isn't it just in the hands of Huang Taiji?"

Emperor Chongzhen said with some disappointment: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, why did the queen forget?"

Zhou Hou hurriedly bowed down and said: "The concubine is guilty, the national affairs are not allowed to interfere with women, and the concubine will no longer say this time!"

Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a moment, and then pointed to the teacup: "Pour me a cup of tea!"

Zhou Hou hurriedly poured the tea and handed it to Emperor Chongzhen. Zhu You took a sip of tea, then stared at Zhou Hou and said, "If I put Wang Zhizheng in Beisai for a long time, no one can say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Zhou Hou asked puzzledly: "The concubine doesn't understand"

Chongzhen smiled, and said a little coldly: "This is why women can't interfere in politics, you have long hair and short knowledge, if Wang Zhizheng is placed in Saibei for a long time, if there are dissidents who instigate him to collude with Lin Dan to dominate Saibei, then wouldn't I add an enemy to myself?"

Zhou Hou was suddenly a little disappointed, why does the emperor always have a conspiracy theory, is there really no one to believe!

Zhou Hou said a little unpleasantly: "If you don't even trust Wang Zhizheng, who else can the emperor trust?"

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly slapped the table, stared at Zhou Hou and said angrily: "Wang Zhizheng, Wang Zhizheng! Who is this Wang Zhizheng? Could you have been poured ecstasy soup by him? Otherwise, you will also learn from the emperor's sister-in-law and remarry Wang Zhizheng!"

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly said such hurtful words, which made Zhou Hou lose face suddenly.

Zhou Hou's tears welled up all of a sudden, and he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine just said a few words for Sheji, if you really think so, then you simply put the concubine into the cold palace and no longer serve the emperor!"

Suddenly hearing Empress Zhou say such words, Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was something wrong with his tone, so he calmed down his emotions, held Empress Zhou's cold hand and beckoned, and said: "Empress, you may still be too simple, too kind! Don't you find out, Wang Zhi is a double-edged sword, if it is used well, it can be used to kill the enemy, if it is not used well, it can also hurt himself! Why did Emperor Taizu kill Lan Yu back then? Is it because Lan Yu is disloyal? No, his prestige in the army is too high, and after a long time, the soldiers only know that there is blue jade, but they don't know that there is Emperor Taizu, so if his subordinates have different intentions, he just doesn't want to rebel and can't help himself! So it's not easy to be an emperor!"

Empress Zhou was silent for a moment, looked up at Chongzhen and said, "Forgive the concubines for talking too much, did the emperor remember the emperor's dying plan again?"

After Emperor Chongzhen heard this, a layer of goosebumps appeared on his face, and the terrifying secret edict of the first emperor when he was dying really became the biggest estrangement and the biggest obstacle between him and Wang Zhizheng!

Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Zhou Hou knew Chongzhen's temper, and the more he persuaded him to believe in Wang Zhizheng, the more rebellious he would be, so he simply changed his tone: "Your Majesty, now the world is in chaos like this, it is not a capable general, and it can't be cleaned up at all, if we don't use Wang Zhizheng, then how many years will this world be delayed before it can be peaceful? Think about it, Huang Taiji of Jianzhou dreamed that Wang Zhizheng would receive Wang Zhizheng for his use, and we used Wang Zhizheng, how could we not use it." After all, Wang Zhizheng carried out the commercial tax reform in the southeast, which caused their family to be ruined, and this kind of hatred against the sky could not be dissolved, but we are royal, we should be sober, if we let the scholars of the cabinet lead the troops to fight, can we defend the mountains and rivers?

Emperor Chongzhen soothed his affection, and the priest named John Tang told him that he might be suffering from mild depression and anxiety. He didn't understand what depression and anxiety were, he just failed late and night, couldn't sleep all night, and was only twenty-two years old, but his sideburns were a little gray, and his physical condition was very bad.

Emperor Chongzhen figured it out, held Zhou Hou's hand and said: "Empress, thank you for reminding me, what you said makes sense, I think too much, the old bones of the cabinet, I really can't listen to and believe partially, I won't transfer him to northern Shaanxi, I let him continue to pass through the defense of the north in Datong, and I let Wang Zhizheng be the gatekeeper of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhou Hou continued: "The slave maid just wants the emperor to understand that all the concubines' intentions are on the emperor, and the concubines are as women in this life, which is to share worries and solve problems for the emperor and be a good assistant to the emperor!"
