When the court learned the news of King Ning's rebellion against King Yan, it was greatly shocked. They were not only worried that King Ning and King Yan would join forces to increase their power, but they were also worried that the combination of these two anti-kings would form a chain reaction and make the other kings also stupid, especially Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao in Liaodong, if he also followed suit, then the northeast and northwest would be connected, and Zhu Di would be qualified enough to fight with the imperial court.

But at this time, it is obviously not feasible to cut the king of Liao again, and the idiots all understand that this is bī The king of Liao went to the king of Yan, but put him in Liaodong, Zhu Yunwen was really relieved, he discussed with Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Lian Zining and others for a long time, and finally decided to use the Huairou method, that is, the strategy of cutting the feudal domain that Gao Wei, the judge of the Fifth Army, and Zhuo Jing, the head of the household department, suggested for him but was not adopted: change the land for the king and cut its foundation.

Zhu Yunwen sent his cronies to Guangning Prefecture (now Beizhen City, Liaoning) in eastern Liaodong at night, Zhu Zhi received the holy decree, and did not resist, but at this time King Ning had entered the customs with King Yan, and the land route was no longer possible, Zhu Zhi was afraid that it would be late to go back and the court would have doubts about him, so he took a big ship to take the sea route to bypass the area controlled by King Yan, landed in Shandong, and then rushed to Nanjing by fast horse.

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed, and immediately changed his fief to Jingzhou, and allocated some people to call him, telling him to go to Jingzhou to take office, so as to settle down and watch the hearts of the kings. It's just that Jingzhou ......, Jingzhou is the place where Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, burned his family, the whole family died a jīng light, and even the palace was burned down, Zhu Yunwen was not easy to arrange, he went to Jingzhou, and he was not afraid that he would face the ruins of the Twelfth Brother's house all day long, and regenerate any other ideas.

The King of Liao obediently went to Jingzhou, which made Zhu Yunwen greatly relieved, Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao who came by sea, had no soldiers and no generals, and he couldn't set off the wind in Jingzhou, and he could appease the rest of the kings by his "happy ending", after the King of Liao left Liaodong, he no longer had to worry about the soldiers and horses of Liaodong being taken by him to defect to the King of Yan, Zhu Yunwen was relieved again.

It's just that King Ning and King Yan join forces, in Zhu Yunwen's view, although it has added some trouble, it still can't control the situation of the war, 50,000 against 500,000 and 150,000 against 500,000 are almost the same, and the imperial army still maintains an absolute advantage. These things are with his teachers Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, and he doesn't need to be too careful, so his main time is still used to discuss with Fang Xiaoru.

Zhu Yunwen has more time to meet and review the recitals than his grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang is a workaholic, and he has to review thousands of recitals at most a day. Many of the courtiers' recitals are like old ladies' footwraps, and they are written in a long and smelly way, and you have to find something useful in a large number of useless clichés and give a clear answer, and there are more than a thousand such footwraps, and you can imagine the amount of work you can imagine.

But Zhu Yunwen admires the rule of vertical arches and inaction, and all the major affairs of the court and politics were given to Huang Zicheng's group, and the time he freed up was mainly used to talk about Zhou Li with Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng played the role of a religious leader and a political leader, one instilling ideals in him and the other managing the regime for him.

After going down to the court today, I approved a few important pieces that Huang Zicheng turned over, and Zhu Yunwen was free. The weather turned cold, and Mr. Xiaozhi occasionally contracted the wind cold, so he didn't come to teach in the past two days, so today Zhu Yunwen didn't learn the weekly ceremony, but began to perform the weekly ceremony.

Zhou Li should be learned, but also learned, as small as a family, as large as a country, everywhere can be reflected, such as...... The gift of Zhou Gong. It is said that the people in ancient times were very simple, simple to the folk customs were very primitive, and the relationship between the two was very mixed, so Zhou Gong set the ceremony, and when it came to the wedding, he formulated seven links, including Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, invitation, greeting, and Dunlun, each link has specific and detailed regulations, collectively known as "Seven Rites of Marriage".

※※※※※ more ※ new ※ most ※ fast ※ dang ※ ※ ※ ※ 100 ※ degree ※ brocade ※ clothes ※ night ※ line ※ bar ※※※※

Zhou Gong also summoned the children of the scholars to Biyong (school), and his wife performed a ceremony to them in person, but when it came to the ceremony of Dunlun, Zhou Gong's wife was very embarrassed and refused to perform in public.

Later, when Confucius set the ceremony, Confucius felt that time had passed, the people's wisdom had been civilized, and there was no need to teach the rites of Dunlun, so the seven rites became six rites, but it was said that it was not taught, in fact, when the nv family got married, when the mother's always had to teach it secretly, or nòng a few chūn palace paintings for nv children to see, as for the man, ......, cough! I really don't need to teach.

Today's weather is relatively cold, Zhu Yunwen read for a while in the warm Zhengxin Hall, and when he was interested, he asked someone to bring wine and food, and wanted to have a few drinks. The person who served the banquet was a waiter NV official, called Murong Linshuang, Lin, Mei Yù, her skin was really warm and moist, and she was blown out. Frost, in this palace as warm as chūn, and in front of the current emperor, of course, the frost disappears the snowflakes, and the smile is like a flower.

Zhu Yunwen put down two glasses of rice wine, and when he saw that this NV official named Murong Linshuang was graceful, he didn't feel a little emotional, took her hand and asked a few words of her name and age, and then pulled her to the inner hall to perform the gift of Zhou Gong. Those who can be the NV officials in the palace are all a little older, Murong Linshuang never thought that he was in his early twenties, and he would be favored by the emperor, so he was naturally surprised and delighted, how could he take care of the shyness of the NV family.

However, even if she wanted to be flattered, she actually couldn't flatter her with any tricks, because Zhu Yunwen came to Dunlun very strictly according to the courtesy of Zhou Gong, which is what the West calls the missionary position, and the priests, like Zhou Gong, all think that men are the most reasonable, and oppose Luàn's messy tricks, so Miss Linshuang only needs to lie there obediently.

The man on her body didn't know how to caress or say a few words of love, or he was too lazy to do these things to her little NV official, so he went on a rampage when he picked up his gun and got on the horse, and the Murong girl couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, like moaning, and making her miserable, which made Zhu Yunwen very happy with a man's majesty.

After the blessing, the Murong girl endured the pain of breaking the melon, waited for Zhu Yunwen to bathe and change clothes, Zhu Yunwen walked out with a cheerful expression, and instructed Xiao Linzi who was waiting outside: "I am fortunate to be Murong NV official today, write it down, and give her the title of Shunv." ”

"Slave obeys!"

Xiao Linzi agreed, and hurriedly went to the Department of Internal Affairs to convey the emperor's message.

The rank of the concubine of the Ming Dynasty is the queen; Imperial Concubine; Chaise; Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, Concubine Shun, Concubine Kang, Concubine Ning; Virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, Zhuang concubines, Li concubines, Hui concubines, An concubines, and concubines, concubines, and concubines; Zhaoyi, Jieyu, talented, waiter, Shu NV. Murong Linshuang was named Shu NV, and it seems that there is still a long, long road to go in life in the future.

Zhu Yunwen walked to the porch with a cheerful expression, saw the snowflakes floating in the air, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, it is not easy to see the snow in Jiangnan, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly asked someone to take a robe, and walked in the snow, although the ground was only a thin layer, but also felt quite meaningful, so he waved his hand and dismissed a few small waiters who were waiting behind him, and walked alone in the snow.

The snowflakes were curling, fluttering slightly, after walking for a while, I saw a small pavilion in front of me, and the two green pines next to the pavilion were covered with a thin layer of snow, Zhu Yunwen wanted to go to the pavilion to stand at the station, and just walked to the pine tree list, I heard a crisp voice in the pavilion and said: "Godfather, are you telling the truth?" ”

"What did your godfather do to coax you? It's spread outside, my godfather is in charge of the imperial dining room, I heard it when I went out of the palace to purchase, alas, the 500,000 army was defeated! ”

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback, hurriedly stood still, and listened attentively, he could hear that the crisp voice was Xiao Linzi, the waiter who was waiting beside him, and the other person in charge of the imperial dining room was naturally Huang Ruoxu, the father-in-law of the imperial diet.

Zhu Yunwen listened to it for a long time, and the more he listened, the more suspicious he became, he couldn't hold his breath, and immediately turned back to the Zhengxin Palace, and ordered with a calm face: "Quickly, immediately announce Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai into the palace!" ”

※※※※※ more ※ new ※ most ※ fast ※ dang ※ ※ ※ ※ 100 ※ degree ※ brocade ※ clothes ※ night ※ line ※ bar ※※※※

"Li Jiujiang is incompetent! Li Jiujiang is incompetent! ”

Huang Zicheng was so angry that his face turned purple, smashed a fine celadon cup, and roared angrily: "500,000 troops, even if it is led by a pig, it will not make the family fall into a ruin, he ...... He ......"

Huang Zicheng saw Venus in front of him, and he almost fainted to the ground, and the old family hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

There were still unmelted snowflakes on the cloak, and Qi Tai, who hurried to report the news, said solemnly: "Brother Yixing, the matter has come to this, what's the use of being angry." Let's go into the palace and explain this matter to the emperor, so let's quickly change a general. ”

"Nope! No, Shangli, you let the old man think about it. ”

Huang Zicheng took the old man's arm, returned to the table and sat down slowly.

Li Jinglong is the general he tried his best to protect, according to the rules, Li Jinglong is guilty, and he is also to blame, the 500,000 army is defeated, it is painful to think about, in case the emperor is angry, he will be held accountable......

Huang Zicheng twisted his beard and thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "Shangli, the old man regrets not being at the beginning, he didn't listen to your kind words and persuasion, and changing generals before the battle, it is really a taboo in the army, and now it is not appropriate to change the commander, Li Jinglong's defeat is not because of the arrogance of the army, and he will definitely learn a lesson from this heavy setback." ”

"What? Such a big thing, you have to hide it from the emperor? ”

Qi Tai glared and said, "Brother Yixing, don't make mistakes again and again!" The 500,000 army went out to fight like this, which shows that Li Jinglong is unbearable to be a general, and the society is not a child's play. ”

Huang Zicheng said: "Shangli, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Li Jinglong's defeat is defeated by carelessness and arrogance of the enemy, and after this lesson, he may not be able to fight again." Shangli, don't forget, you and I are promoted by the emperor and take on great responsibilities, how many people in the court are jealous? Now that the government and military are all in the hands of you and me, Li Jinglong has suffered such a big defeat, you and I can't escape the blame, according to the crime, Li Jinglong should be beheaded, what about you and me, can you still stand in the court with a shy face?

You and I are favored by Your Majesty, what is the honor and disgrace of yourself, but once you reach this point, you and I will also take the blame and resign, and it is nothing to resign from this official body, but the emperor's new policy, all thanks to you and me, if you and I are far away from the temple, the emperor has lost his left arm and right arm, and the military generals will inevitably make a comeback, and then Your Majesty will not become their puppet puppet? ”

Qi Tai was silent when he heard this, and said for a while: "That...... What should I do? ”

Huang Zicheng said: "This matter can't be reported!" Shang Li is in charge of the military department, and the military information is all in his hands, Mr. Xiaozhi's side, as well as Jing Qing, Zhuo Jing, Lian Zining and other colleagues, you and I rushed to explain the benefits and disadvantages one by one, and asked everyone to defend it together, don't talk in front of the emperor. The old man would repair a letter to Li Jiujiang, telling him to make meritorious service and win a big victory to redeem his mistakes. ”

Qi Tai was at a loss for a long time, only with a long sigh.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Sir, Qi Aiqing, I heard that the battle ahead is unfavorable and Jiujiang has been defeated, and now I have fled to Texas?"

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai had just made a decision, and they were summoned into the palace, and they didn't know what the emperor called him for. Yes! The minister knows that since the rebellion of Yan Rebellion, rumors have been spread repeatedly, and this must be another plan of Yan Rebellion, and the small people in the countryside, ignorant and ignorant, like to spread these shocking absurd things. ”

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face relaxed, and he hurriedly asked, "What, isn't that the case?" ”

"Of course not."

Huang Zicheng laughed: "Your Majesty, Cao Guogong led the army to the north, and repeatedly made gains, so that Yan was cornered, but the weather in the north was extremely cold in winter, your Majesty, even Jinling City was covered with snowflakes, the northern land, it was simply a cold wind and snow, and the snow was several feet, and most of my soldiers were southern soldiers, and they couldn't bear the cold weather, Cao Guogong cherished the soldiers, so he temporarily collected his troops and returned to Dezhou, and he had to wait for the Ming Dynasty to continue to attack Beiping." Alas! Unexpectedly, Yan was scheming, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were temporarily retired due to the weather, and they were used by them to spread such absurd and nonsensical rumors. ”

Zhu Yunwen was surprised and delighted: "Is this the case, Qi Aiqing has ever received a battle report from Cao Guogong?" ”

Qi Tai glanced to the side, Huang Zicheng was looking at him with a pair of eyes, Qi Tai sighed helplessly, and had to bow and say: "Yes, the minister received the battle report, after Cao Guogong sent troops, he first captured Yongping and regained Beiping, and Yan was defeated in a row, so he started King Ning's idea and went out of the customs to join forces with him." Although the city of Beiping is high and thick, it has also been broken by our army several times and was almost breached. Now...... Now the weather is very cold, most of our army is southern soldiers, intolerant of the severe cold in the north, many soldiers are frostbitten, Cao Guo judged the situation, and then returned to Dezhou to prepare for another battle. ”

"I see!"

Zhu Yunwen let go of his worries and was overjoyed: "That's the truth, I walked in the palace for a while, and I felt extremely cold, not to mention the bitter cold land in the north, it was really difficult for the Northern Expedition soldiers and Jiujiang, and I insisted until this moment before retreating." I want to reward the division of the Northern Expedition, I want to reward Jiujiang, the rewards and punishments are clear, hahaha......"

Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily, and immediately ordered: "Come on, draft the decree, add the title of prince and prince Li Jinglong, the prince of Li Cao Guogong, give the seal book, gold coins, imperial wine, mink fur, and reward the three armies!" ”

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng looked at each other, and Huang Zicheng stiffened his head and said: "Your Majesty loves the three armies so much, the three armies will do their best, and in the first battle, they will take Beiping and cut off Yan Wei." ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded again and again, Qi Tai really couldn't bear it, but Huang Zicheng is not only his staunch ally, but also the current emperor, Qi Tai and he advance and retreat together, and his interests are at stake, and he must not pull him back, but he is really relieved that Cao Guogong and those remnants of the defeated generals, and now this pass is prevaricating, what should Ming chūn do?

He had no choice but to cough and said: "However, when Cao Guogong returned to Texas, 500,000 troops were on the way, and most of Cao Guogong and his generals were good at attacking but not defending. Moreover, Yan rebelled to get the soldiers and horses of King Ning, and his strength increased greatly, and the minister thought that he could raise more troops and horses to supplement the army, and at the same time, he should send an old general to assist Cao Guogong, so that Ming chūn fought again, and it was decided in one fell swoop! ”

Zhu Yunwen said unhappily: "Shangshu is going to say something for Geng Bingwen again, Geng Bingwen suffered a defeat in Zhending, and his son Geng Zhen suffered another defeat in Yongping, the Geng family has a false reputation and is useless, don't say it." ”

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not the Marquis of Changxing, the minister thinks that Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, can assist the Duke of Cao Guo. ”

Zhu Yunwei still didn't allow it, Qi Tai glanced at Huang Zicheng, Huang Zicheng thought about it, and also felt that Li Jinglong's baby was really a little unreliable, and at this time, he couldn't care about his personal grievances with Zhongshan Palace, so he spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, it is not safe to make Xu Huizu the deputy general of Cao Guogong, and the complementarity is insufficient." ”

※※※※※ more ※ new ※ most ※ fast ※ dang ※ ※ ※ ※ 100 ※ degree ※ brocade ※ clothes ※ night ※ line ※ bar ※※※※

Zhu Yunwen saw that his teacher also agreed, so he nodded helplessly: "Okay, then call another 200,000 soldiers and horses, let Xu Huizu take them, go to help Jiujiang, and eradicate Yan Wei!" ”

Huang Zicheng and Qi Taimeng passed Zhu Yunwen, hurriedly left the palace, and immediately went to see Fang Xiaoru, who was recuperating at home, and visited Jingqing, Lian Zining and other close ministers of the emperor one by one.

In the palace, Zhu Yunwen learned about the "real situation" in the north, first rejoiced for a while, and suddenly remembered the head of the imperial dining room, and couldn't help but sink his face, eunuchs are not human, and sure enough, there is no good thing, I still discipline them too leniently. Zhu Yunwen commanded: "Huang Ruoxi, the steward of the imperial dining room, spreads rumors, demagogues, discusses the government in vain, slanders the minister, and orders him to be flogged to death!" Gather the servants in the palace and watch the punishment together to set an example! ”

This winter is indeed relatively cold, the snow in Nanjing City has been sprinkled on the ground for a long time, stepping on it is also soft and thick, the palace houses, inside and outside the city, as far as the eye can see, a piece of white, only this place, is red.

The eunuchs who watched the execution had all left silently, and only the chamberlain Xiao Linzi was still kneeling beside the bloody corpse of his godfather Huang Gonggong in a demented manner, with two bubbles of tears in his eyes. The blood and snow had frozen together, and the two eunuchs with shovels and pickaxes came over silently, put down their tools, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Huang Gonggong's corpse: "Huang Gonggong, go with peace of mind, and vote for a good family in the next life." ”

After speaking, he got up, dragged up Xiao Linzi, whose kneeling legs were already numb, shoveled up a piece of red snow under Huang Gonggong's body, and dragged his body away......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Texas has recently been compared to Luàn.

Li Jinglong fled back first, and the Ming army besieging the nine cities of Beiping fled back one after another two days later, and along the way, the army was crushed, and the Luàn army was a group and a regiment, and fled back to Dezhou City one after another.

There are also soldiers who fled directly back to Jiangnan, but there are not many, once they are caught, the deserters will be beheaded, and most of the defeated soldiers will come to Texas after leaving Beiping. They lack food and clothing, and they are angry, so they are naturally unwilling to spend money on food and accommodation along the way, and they have to pay for the war for the imperial court, do they have to pay for it themselves? The emperor didn't have a reason to send hungry soldiers, so the inns, restaurants, and even houses along the way stopped molding.

But when they arrived in Texas, they began to abide by the rules again, after all, it is the location of the Chinese army camp of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, here, there are still few people who violate military discipline, and Dezhou has always been a military town of the Ming Dynasty, and the military material reserves here are very rich.

It's just that these 500,000 people came from different regions, and chōu was transferred from different armies, and when they fled all the way, the establishment was even more chaotic.

Li Jinglong, who had learned from the pain, finally began to work hard, for a few days, he gave up his beloved concubine to keep the empty boudoir alone, he was dressed all over, reorganized the army, after a few days, there were not many soldiers who rushed back to Texas one after another, at this time reorganized, reorganized, and inspected the three armies, when the division was 500,000 troops, now there are only about 400,000 left, and the wounded, sick and disabled soldiers account for tens of thousands, Li Jinglong regrets and fears, and does not dare to report the military situation, I don't know how the emperor should punish him if he knows that he has failed so badly.

There is a mixed hall (bathhouse) in Texas City, at the beginning of the month, the shopkeeper has just been changed, and a person surnamed Xia has been called down, and the original mixed hall shopkeeper is surnamed Zhou, but now it is the Xia shopkeeper.

This Xia shopkeeper is naturally Xia Xun.

The subordinates who arrived in Texas in advance drew up two occupations for him to choose from: a yào shop and a brothel.

In these two places, one fights with wounded soldiers the most, and the other fights with soldiers who are not wounded soldiers, and they can get a lot of useful information, but they are both vetoed by Xia Xun. The professional xìng of the yào store is too strong, and the shopkeeper of the yào store who does not understand the theory of yào is too suspicious. And the brothel, even if those prostitutes are forced to make a living and voluntarily sell themselves, he is not willing to be the head of the big teapot, which always feels a little hurtful.

He found a profession on his own: bastard.

I can think of this because the first time he went to Beiping, he was put on a scene by Xie Yufei in the mixed hall here in Texas, and was almost beaten by a group of angry NV crowds. The bathhouse is also a place where soldiers often go, and they have to be soldiers with a few small amounts of money in their hands, so Xia Xun made a final decision, and his subordinates fought and fought here a few times, and made enough money, and finally let the boss of that week painfully put the chaos out of the hall.

This mixed hall male left nv right, left is the men's bathhouse, right is the nv bathhouse, there is a common entrance at the front, the entrance is hung above the "Baiquan mixed hall" four big characters, so the officers in and out of the city and the big girls and daughters-in-law in Texas, every day can see a man wearing a sheepskin jacket, wearing a dogskin hat, two beards, holding a big abacus, nodding and smiling men standing behind the counter.

This person is naturally Boss Xia Xunxia.

PS: Boss Xia asks for tickets, monthly passes, and recommended tickets. If you don't vote, you will be arrested and sent to Boss Xia's subordinates, and they will all be NV spies_
