Half a month ago, the Tartars from the sudden entry into the customs to the siege of the capital, everyone was panicked, and finally in the early morning a battle was settled, the Tartars attacked the city and withdrew their troops, and the whole city cheered.

The rain was still pouring down, and the corpses outside the city were lying in the mud and no one had cleaned them up, and the blood stains had been washed away by the rain without a trace, if it weren't for these corpses, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

The city has been partially lifted, although the heavy rain is still difficult to stop the excitement of the people pouring into the streets, running and cheering to tell each other, some people are asking around about the details of the city defense battle, the tea houses and restaurants in the streets and alleys are very good at seizing the opportunity to open shops to make a living, and then they are full, and all kinds of gossip rumors spread between the cups and chips.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp have meritorious service in defending the city, and the emperor ordered the queen to go with the prince, the princess and the military bosses to go to reward, which is the supreme glory of the first time, and also means that the heroic performance of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp in defending the city has been recognized by the emperor, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion are in high mood for a while, and they are excited.

It is not an easy job to sacrifice the army, the main queen and a group of bigwigs are too particular about formalism, far less than Chang Yu's big horn to go in, say a few words to dig out the heart and still leave the silver, the officers and soldiers feel that it is easy for him to enjoy it.

But there are many royal rules, from leaving the palace to traveling to entering the barracks to greet the officers and soldiers, there are one or more sets of exquisite, Queen Zhou and a kind of military boss can still calm down, but the prince Zhu Cihong, a young man, is influenced too much by Chang Yu on weekdays, and feels that too much red tape is really boring, but even if he is bored, it is far better than being stuffy in the palace, but he really wants to go to the yamen to find Chang Yu and listen to him talk about the details of defending the city, it must be very spectacular and dangerous.

It's just that he can only think about it now, there are still many ministers around him when he goes out of the palace with the queen, where is he allowed to run around, and look at the little girl Kunxing has been honestly by the queen's side.

In fact, the little girl seems to be calm, but in fact, she is proud in her heart, I was in the city a moment before the Tartars attacked the city......

Of course, Empress Zhou didn't know what a pair of children were thinking, she took a group of ministers to visit the wounded soldiers in the barracks, and sincerely thanked these warriors who desperately defended the capital, and thanked them for preserving the foundation of the old Zhu family.

Of course, this time the army is not the previous royal habit of playing white strips and drawing flatbread, and there are really real things, silver! Before the war, both the official and the people launched a fundraiser, and the income was very rich, and Queen Zhou said that the emperor had issued an order that the proceeds of the fundraising would be rewarded to the whole army!

The barracks were a sensation, and the whole army cheered!

Speaking of fundraising, I have to mention another big man, Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, called on the nobles in the city to donate money in his personal capacity, and offended many bigwigs for this, but he was not afraid of the power to block the door and ask for donations, and for a time it was respected by the people, and the name was broadcast all over the city.

The people under the admiration, the emperor favored, Wu commander envoy is the scenery of the recent days, at this time also with the queen of Zhou to the military camp to reward the army, but because of the fundraising he and many people have a grudge, those ministers do not like to take care of him, in fact, it is the usual Jinyi guard is also the yamen who is blinded everywhere.

Get. Lao Tzu still doesn't want to get close to you, Commander Wu looked disdainful in the face of the cold eyes of those ministers, only the friends played together, needless to say, it was Chunxiang who represented the Dongchang Yamen.

Although Chunxiang is a little smaller than Chang Yu, but in fact, he is more suitable for doing things in the East Factory, he is not like Chang Yu who looks kind when he sees everyone, and he can even be said to be cold, he used to be a miscellaneous eunuch It was fashionable, but since he entered the East Factory, this temperament has increased day by day, of course, ordinary people dare not look at him.

Of course, he also looked at many people who were not going well, for example, he couldn't look down on the officers and soldiers in the barracks at the moment, although they had meritorious service in defending the city, but looking at the hypocrisy on their faces, it seemed that they had done something very remarkable and awesome.

Phew! It's just a matter of standing on the city and throwing a few stones and shooting a few arrows! Compared with those front-line soldiers and horses who have been fighting outside all the year round, it is now raining heavily outside, you at least have hot drinks, and barracks to hide from the rain and lie comfortably, but what about those field troops......

Chunxiang once followed Chang Yu all the way to Taiyuan on an expedition to Taiyuan, fought and endured hardships, saw the real cruelty, and experienced the hardships of the field troops.

Empress Zhou took a group of ministers, still comforting the wounded soldiers, Wu Mengming and Chunxiang were whispering on the side, chatting about the battle of defending the city in the early morning, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, some people were in an uproar, and looked at it with curiosity, it turned out to be hail, crackling and very mad.

The sudden heavy rain and the sudden hail are also a vision for the Ming Emperor in early summer, but the people of the Ming Dynasty have not seen any natural disasters and man-made disasters for many years, and they have long been accustomed to it.

Inside the yamen of the East Factory, the sleeping little eunuch was awakened by the sound of hail outside, frowning and looking out the window.

The sky is getting dark, the rain curtain is getting smaller, and the fireworks in the middle of the city are curling, but there is a feeling of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not so quiet, after all, the heat of the carnival of the people in the streets and alleys has not yet dissipated, but with the indignation of various gossip.

The royal family had returned to the palace, and the rest of the city had withdrawn to the barracks except for the standing patrols, and the refugees from the outer city were cheering for the victory of defending the city, and they were trembling and trying to find a dry place to spend the night.

In the imperial city, Emperor Chongzhen opened a late dynasty in a panic, and convened hundreds of officials to deal with the government in the Huangji Palace, discussing not only the immediate military affairs, including civil affairs in various places, discussing how to relieve disasters and the aftermath of the war.

At the gate of the Dongchang Yamen, Wu Mengming held an umbrella and said to the guards: "Did the factory governor really say that no one is missing, not even me?" ”

"Commander Wu, don't be embarrassed, the factory governor explained before, except for the emperor summoned, I didn't see anyone, he didn't sleep in the old man's city all night, he was asleep, or you go in and drink tea and wait, maybe the factory governor will wake up soon......"

"No" Wu Mengming returned to the carriage, he would rather wait in the car, and he didn't want to enter the yamen of the East Factory to stare dryly, mainly because the yin qi there was too heavy, and it was uncomfortable to stay for a long time.

Just squinted, heard the sound of cars and horses, Wu Mengming lifted the curtain and glanced at it, but saw the little old man Wang Jiayan, the governor of Beijing, getting down from the carriage and going to the yamen, he was puzzled, the evil door, in the eyes of civil officials, there is no difference between the Dongchang yamen and the ghost underworld, everyone avoids it, how can Lao Wang still go the opposite way and send it to the door, didn't he hate eunuchs in the past.

"Lord Wang, what a coincidence" Wu Mengming got down from the carriage and greeted, Wang Jiayan, who had just arrived at the door, was stunned when he heard it, and arched his hand when he saw that it was Wu Mengming: "Commander Wu, you are also here to drink?" ”

Drink? Wu Mengming was stunned: "Lord Wang, are you looking for the factory supervisor to drink?" ”

Wang Jiayan raised his forehead and shook his head with a smile: "It seems that Lord Wu is not, I think I came on a business trip, why don't you go in?" ”

Wu Mengming snorted ha, his heart was sour, and he actually asked Lao Wang to drink, but he didn't see me: "I heard that the factory governor is still resting"

Yes, Wang Jiayan sighed, and said to the fan at the door: "Please inform the factory superintendent, Jingying Wang Kaimei (Wang Jiayan's name Kaimei) asks to see."

That time he went in response, Wu Mengming's old face turned red, and the vinegar jar in his heart shattered.
