Chongzhen naturally knows this truth, but in his heart, Zhu Cihong is just a seven or eight-year-old child, how can he have so much thought at a young age, how can he threaten his throne?

Moreover, the current situation is very bad, the Qing army has already reached Zhuozhou, and is marching to Langfang and other hinterlands of the Central Plains to plunder, and the surrounding area of Gyeonggi is in a mess. In the current situation, someone must come out to preside over the overall situation and direct the operation.

He, the emperor, naturally didn't dare to go out, although he advertised himself as both civil and military on weekdays, but if he was really allowed to go, Chongzhen would still silently admit it in his heart.

So in Chongzhen's heart, the crown prince Zhu Cihong is currently the most suitable, although I don't know how this son is organized, but at least two records are here, and he may be so good at fighting in terms of fighting.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was still worried about the safety of the crown prince, and Empress Zhou had been blowing the wind in his ears recently, saying that it was too dangerous to fight and asking him to transfer his son back to Beijing.

Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, gritted his teeth and played: "Your Majesty, please order the governor to send reinforcements from all walks of life to drive the slaves and thieves out of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Hearing him say this, several ministers looked at him like monkeys, and they all secretly said in their hearts, why is this timid military secretary so bold today? And ask yourself to be the governor? The old birthday star eats arsenic and thinks it will be long?

Seeing that Zhang Fengyi was so righteous, Wen Tiren immediately seconded: "Lord Zhang, as the secretary of the military department and the governor of all walks of life, is the most suitable. ”

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wen Tiren and then at Zhang Fengyi, his eyes were full of question marks, as if asking: Are you okay?

Wen Tiren seemed to be able to read minds, and read the question mark in Chongzhen's eyes at a glance, he continued: "The minister saw the casualties of the Yongwei battalion from the battle report, and the Yongwei battalion was seriously injured in this battle, and it was not suitable to fight again. ”

Chongzhen said: "That's right, the Yongwei battalion has fought hard repeatedly, and the soldiers have been lost, and it really needs to be repaired, and the decree will be sent to summon the crown prince Zhu Cihong to lead the army back to Beijing for repairs on the same day, and I will personally greet the soldiers of the Yongwei battalion at Zhengyang Gate!" ”

Hearing that Emperor Chongzhen had made a decision, Wen Tiren was not easy to refute, but shook his head secretly, this emperor is too fucking a calf protector, how can there be a reason for Lao Tzu to welcome his son......

On July 22, Emperor Chongzhen ordered that Zhang Fengyi, the governor of the Ministry of War, should reinforce the army from the Ninth Road, and Gao Qiqian would be the supervisor of the army.

Zhu Cihong, who was in Liangxiang City, received the news on the same day, and Li Tingbiao sent people to report the situation in the capital to him every day, and everything was under his control.

For Emperor Chongzhen's edict, Zhu Cihong did not resist, it was time to return to Beijing to replenish ammunition, as well as the compensation work for the soldiers who died in battle.

Zhu Cihong originally wanted to transport the remains of the soldiers killed in the war back to the capital, but the lack of vehicles and the hot weather made it easy to cause plague after a long time.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong opened up a cemetery in Liangxiang City, buried the remains of the soldiers who died in the war on the spot, and built a martyr's shrine and erected a monument in front of the cemetery to commemorate the Liangxiang War.

In all dynasties, sacrifice and military were the two most important major events of the country, and there was a strict national sacrifice system, which was divided into the central court sacrifice and the local government sacrifice.

The central sacrificial system is divided into major rituals, middle rituals, and small rituals, local sacrificial systems, and sacrifices at all levels such as provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties.

Zhu Cihong will be in Liangxiang City of the Loyal Martyrs' Shrine according to the provincial specifications of the sacrifice, not only that, he also wants to build the Loyal Soul Shrine in the capital, in the future, all the brave guards of the camp of the fallen soldiers into the capital Loyal Soul Temple, according to the central sacrificial specifications.

On the day of the sacrifice, almost all the people of Liangxiang City came to pay respects to the soldiers such as Ding Shiqi, the Liangxiang garrison who died in the battle to defend them, as well as the civil servants such as Jiang Bingcai, the county magistrate, who was martyred, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who died in the bloody battle with the Eight Banners Army to save them.

In the solemn and solemn sacrificial music and dance accompaniment, the chief priest commanded the worship, and the people were meticulous in their worship and tears.

In the Martyrs' Shrine, Zhu Cihong took the generals of the Yongwei Battalion to incense one by one and bowed several times.

On the square outside the ancestral hall, all the soldiers of the Yongwei battalion saluted with swords and guns, and sang the military song "Loyal to the Country" in unison......... How many siblings are loyal to their souls in other places, how to repay their families and countries with a hundred deaths, endure sighs, and are even more speechless, full of blood and tears.......

Thousands of people chanted in unison, full of shocking and infectious energy.

Some of the newly recruited soldiers defending the city sighed in their hearts: "With such a sacrifice, even if you die in battle in the future, it will be worth it!" ”

On the side of the cemetery, there is also a cemetery, which is the war horses killed by the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion, and all the horses killed in the battle are buried with the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion.

Zhu Cihong said: Although the war horses can't speak, they are part of the Yongwei Battalion like the sergeants, and they all died for the country, and they should be treated like this!

Zhu Cihong's actions moved the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion, the war horse is a part of the cavalry, and the cavalry has a very deep relationship with their war horse, like brothers, the crown prince's move makes the cavalry have a greater sense of belonging to the Yongwei Battalion.

The soldiers of the other ministries were also full of praise, saying that the crown prince was sympathetic to the soldiers, and it was really the greatest blessing in his life that he could serve under his command.

Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

The summer sun in July is like fire, there are Jiaotai Hall and Qianqing Palace in front of Kunning Palace, and there are courtyard walls around it, resulting in no wind all year round, and it is abnormally sultry.

Emperor Chongzhen happily came to the Kunning Palace, stopped the chamberlain who was about to pass the message, and when he entered the main hall, he found that Empress Zhou was wearing a summer shirt as thin as cicada wings and grooming.

Excited, Emperor Chongzhen played ambiguously, he tiptoed behind Empress Zhou and ruffled her hair.

Empress Zhou was shocked and slapped back, almost hitting Emperor Chongzhen's eyelids, making Chongzhen, a disciple, embarrassed for a while.

At this time, it happened that a waiter who sent melons and fruits saw it, Queen Zhou felt very embarrassed and bowed down to admit her mistake, and Emperor Chongzhen smiled generously and did not punish him.

Queen Zhou hurriedly entered the bedroom, and the two palace maids hurriedly followed up to change her clothes.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that she was like a hibiscus out of the water, although he was interested, he would not follow up without face and skin, and did some indecent things in broad daylight, so he sat on the main seat and flipped through the books next to the armrest.

After Chongzhen became the emperor, he was very good at reading, and there were books all over the palace thrones, and he could read them casually.

After hearing about it, the scholars all over the world rushed to recite it, and even more sycophantic ministers specially wrote articles praising Emperor Chongzhen for his scholarly demeanor.

Once a person is praised, it is easy to float, and Chongzhen is too, often touted, feeling that he is very awesome, and he almost can't get down in the sky.

He thinks that even if he is not the emperor, he must be a famous person in the world, and he can easily be named on the gold list.

Queen Zhou is knowledgeable and courteous, and she is quite literate, so Chongzhen is very fond of this talented Queen Zhou, and regards her as a confidant, and the two often discuss words at night.

After changing her clothes, Empress Zhou came over to greet her, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, how can you have time to come to Kunning Palace today." ”

Emperor Chongzhen put down the scroll in his hand, looked at her, and said with a smile: "Empress, guess! ”

Empress Zhou thought for a moment, and then said softly: "Didn't you win the battle on the front line?" ”

Chongzhen was surprised: "How do you know? ”

Queen Zhou was dumbfounded and said: "Your Majesty cares about state affairs, only the government and politics in your eyes, and now the slaves and thieves are in the country, and Your Majesty has not been to the harem for a long time, if it is not for the front-line Desheng, how can Your Majesty come to the Kunning Palace of the concubines." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The queen is still so smart about ice and snow, yes, it is the great victory on the front line, the prince severely injured the slaves and thieves in Liangxiang, and killed more than 7,000 enemies." ”

Empress Zhou didn't care about the battle record, but said eagerly: "How is the emperor?" Are you hurt? ”

Chongzhen comforted: "The emperor is fine, I have issued an edict ordering his class teacher to return to Beijing, you can rest assured!" ”

When Queen Zhou heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
