For the people in the capital, today is just an ordinary day, but for the officials and relatives in the city, today is definitely a serious preparation. Because the hostess in the Forbidden City has a birthday today. There are not many elders in the new emperor's family, and even if there are, there are no people who can control the **, so this queen is a veritable **master. And don't look at this emperor who has the same simple style as Zhu Yuanzhang back then, but he is very fond of this wife, everyone knows that the emperor's birthday can be simple, but this queen's birthday is to be celebrated. I think Zhu Hongwu and Queen Ma, who were in deep love back then, didn't have such a scenery, right? It is not unreasonable for Jiang Tian to deliberately choose such a day to escape, you said that those civil and military officials, whether they like this queen or not, will at least send the lady of the family into the palace today to show up and pat the fart, as for those relatives, they can't let go of this opportunity, all kinds of rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as long as you can think of it, there is nothing they can't find. As long as you can win the favor of the queen, it is more useful than being appreciated by the emperor. On such a day, who would be in the mood to care about what Jiang Tian was doing?

Song Yi's mood was also a little apprehensive, although he didn't have anything to do with the gift, but he also waited outside the palace early, fortunately, he got the news as soon as possible, the old man Song relied on the old Dezhao and the dragon Yougong, after entering, he had to be left by the emperor to have a light meal or something, and let's look at the song and dance together is also the meaning of the question, if the queen can praise a few words, he, the actual R&D director, is not in vain, and the budget for the next year can also be a little less resistance. In this matter, Tian Xuhai is his difficult brother, Tian Gongzi's mother is considered to be the edict of the imperial court, so he also entered the palace to accompany him, Tian Shangshu naturally does not care too much, his son can serve his mother at any time outside, no one can criticize, so the brothers sat under a tree and put a game of Go and drank a pot of tea and waited for the news in the palace. Compared with them, Liu Baokai, as the eldest prince in the Duke's Palace, can only follow his mother to congratulate him, and by the way, he knows the prince who has just returned to Beijing from Jiangnan. If it weren't for the fact that the prince, who had been growing up in Jiangnan, had returned to Beijing, today would have been an official appearance in the imperial court, but in fact, he would have preferred to squat outside the palace and drink and fight with his brothers.

The duchess is naturally graceful and luxurious in court clothes and walks in the forefront of the edicts, as for Liu Baokai, a kid who has not yet taken over his father's throne, he can't run around, he can only follow his father to make a cameo appearance, fortunately, Liu Junding, the old general is not on duty today, and he put on a serious python robe and followed a group of old men to talk about it, this small circle is full of guys from a group of military generals, what they say is nothing more than remembering the bittersweet memories, and talk about which battle was the most difficult to fight back then. Usually at this time, their Liu family has a lot of say in it, who made him a martyr, only one Liu Junding is left, and he can still enjoy the fruits of victory.

"If you want to say that Nanjing City changed hands three times, the thousand-year-old capital was almost flattened, and His Majesty and our old guys were besieged for a whole month! If it weren't for the cavalry of our Liu family, who galloped thousands of miles to help and finally killed horses to replenish military rations, my father and my two brothers would have fallen under the city of Nanjing, otherwise the battle situation in the south of the Yangtze River would be dangerous......"

The pervert stood aside and listened a little impatiently, he heard these words since he was a child, and he also remembered seeing his bloody father pulling the corpses of three relatives back to the rear to rest, the former general and the current emperor His Majesty Xià also came to the funeral in person, and they cried bitterly in the camp this time. Last year, the dynasty was changed, and their family recounted their merits, which was exchanged for the duke's title and royal genealogy, and no one said that our credit was small?

The generals who chatted were also a little unhappy, how could there be immortals in a war? How many people died in your family? Didn't our emperor only survive with one younger brother? In less than ten years of the Northern Expedition, there have been dozens of big battles and countless vicious battles, and none of us have fought with our heads. Besides, your Liu family is also a cavalry, once our infantry is out of ammunition, and in the end, they will not hang up bayonets and Tartars in hand-to-hand combat, and there will be no one who can survive and listen to your nonsense who will not roll out of the pile of dead!

At this time, an old man with a white beard couldn't help but speak: "I think I drank with your father back then, and there has never been a bad breed in our Majesty's personal soldiers, so you also count when it comes to danger?" I followed His Majesty Xià through the Shanhaiguan, and your family was the dragon from that time, right? I think that when the Tartars entered the Kou, we relied on 2,000 southern soldiers to carry a few battles in Beizhili, and less than 500 people died in the whole army, but we brought back a thousand braids! If it weren't for this, would his former Chongzhen be able to marry the princess? Didn't your father admire that our men were also good men and could be like-minded? ”

This is an old qualification, in terms of seniority, Liu Junding's predecessors, if it weren't for the old man's age, and he was disabled early, otherwise the credit book is definitely in front of the Liu family, so as soon as the old man spoke, Liu Junding really couldn't say anything, this is the better side of the tradition of the Chinese people's seniority, sometimes there is such an absolute authority to save zài, which can avoid some unnecessary disputes.

Speaking of the emperor's fortune process is really a bit legendary, originally this hereditary military young master in the south of the Yangtze River fireworks is famous, you say he is a playboy is almost the same, but in the joy of offending some magnates, was assassinated and sent to the north to fight the Tartars, at that time the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and plundered more and more times, coupled with the Dengzhou Rebellion made the north vitality greatly damaged, the imperial court has not many available soldiers, no one will have much expectation of this southern guard. But in the eyes of outsiders, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there were many outlaws and hot-blooded people along the way, coupled with the reorganization of this traverser, so that when they rushed to the north, their spirit and spirit were very different from those of the other Ming army. Later, because the command system in the north had been chaotic, the large army of the Ming army could basically only defend some fortified cities, and turned a blind eye to the Tartars ravaging the people, so the Manchurians also relaxed their vigilance and sent small units of troops to rob everywhere every day, so the hereditary guerrilla general Zhang Tao who crossed over the country led the ragtag army of about 2,000 people to really fight a guerrilla war on the Great Plains when no one received him. When the Tartars burned and looted, they found that they had lost nearly a thousand people, and these were all genuine soldiers of the Eight Banners, including five white-armored soldiers alone. Of course, it is unthinkable for this kind of record to be put on the decaying Ming army, although Yuan Chonghuan claimed to have killed the enemy, but the real enemy's head and capture could not be taken out, and so these five hundred troops like a flower child were taken prisoner outside the Chengtian Gate, and the sensational effect of the five pairs of white armor and many armor honor guards can be imagined. The remnants of these 500 soldiers are the predecessor of the Zhang Family Army, which later dominated the world, and they are also the backbone of the current Imperial Forest Army.

From the beginning of the siege of Beijing, Chongzhen deliberately put them to the north to guard the pass, our guerrilla generals are not treated by their colleagues anywhere, but this poor jingle southern army fought impressively, although poor but in the same number of Tartars do not fall behind, the battlefield is murderous and ferocious, even the elite Guanning army gasped when they saw it, but it stirred up the Tartars in the north of Shanhaiguan to lie restless, the kind of ubiquitous and slippery guerrilla warfare made the cavalry with great mobility have big heads, At any time, you have to be on guard against these called Hanako to fight the autumn wind on their own territory. As the battle record became higher and higher, Chongzhen deliberately tilted his general fee towards this army in order to curb the arrogance of the Guanning army. Who knew that the corrupt civilian institutions were bribed and at the same time coveted those military funds, and deliberately withheld and made things difficult, which was indispensable, and finally one day, our generals, in a fit of rage, let people pretend to be thieves and raid the nest of several people, and hang those civilian officials under the door of their own house. Somehow the news leaked, and since then it has completely offended the civilian clique, and under various pressures, Chongzhen had to temporarily transfer this unit away from the front line, and drained a lot of elites to other warlords. In order to appease Zhang Tao and prevent a repeat of the old path of the Dengzhou Rebellion, he was especially allowed to marry the princess and crown the hussar general, which was considered to be a comfort, and also had the meaning of warning some people not to attack again.

Later, before the marriage was completed, Li Zicheng besieged Beijing, Chongzhen had no soldiers in his hands, and the day of breaking the country was just around the corner, only this cheap son-in-law sneaked into the capital with his henchman Ding Jia will sneak into the capital to rescue, Chongzhen was disheartened or decided to live and die with the country, and finally only saved his wife and prince. Non-stop recruited the old department to flee all the way south, and set up Zhu Cihong to take the throne and change the Yuan Hongguang, so far there are no messy emperors in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiang, a pig, has not been able to sit on the dragon chair. A general has been promoted to the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses to lead the Jiangnan military town, of course, the other warlords are still not so easy to speak, but the combat effectiveness of this army is too strong, first led a thousand elites to kill the Ma Shiying Chinese army who did not listen to the dispatch, captured the governor of Fengyang in one fell swoop, and reorganized his Fengyang garrison in a lightning flash, with the mixed formation of the old and new troops and ideological education that was tried and tested by the later dynasties, stunned in less than a year, He completely trained a group of sheep who wanted to run when they saw the Tartars into combatable soldiers, and when Wu Sangui fought hard to the area of Henan, he found that his old acquaintance had dug a pit and waited for him to jump.

"If it weren't for the Wu family's dog traitors, the saint would not have been transferred out of Shanhaiguan back then, and it would have been impossible for the savages to ravage the Central Plains for so many years. These grandsons even dared to show their faces, how could they be polite when they saw him Guan Ningjun! As he spoke, he pointed at Liu Baokai: "That grandson doesn't know anything, didn't he see what the elders said about being thirsty and wanting tea?" ”

The pervert almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, can you old man speak politely? Although I am also a grandson according to my generation, I can't talk about it together, right? Besides, there is a eunuch over there, why did you see me if you didn't instruct me? I thought my dad was annoying enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more annoying, and I didn't see that the people around me wanted to strangle you, a thing that relied on the old and sold the old.

Just when Liu Bao Kaiyi @lewd@ was thinking about how to rectify this old man, a little eunuch trotted all the way over: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty wants to summon you into the side hall to reminisce about the old days, and please come with me......"

Several generals who also couldn't stand this old man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stood up according to their ranks, and then walked in the direction of the Imperial Palace under the envy or jealousy of other officials, although Liu Baokai and the like also followed behind, but they were not qualified to face the king, this is not outside the palace, I just saw Wu Yuan waiting there, and the pervert said that you, the fake prince, also have no privileges, right? If they say that they have been addicted for too many hours, we will starve together at noon!

At this time, a group of palace people surrounded a child wearing a scarlet tow sa and walked towards this side, and the eunuch who took the lead said loudly: "The prince drove to the idlers to avoid!" ”

Wu Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Baokai, the two of them hurriedly retreated to the side and saluted with fists, and the pervert raised his eyes curiously and looked at it, it didn't matter, he was so frightened that he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
