"Minister, Xu Changqing, the chief military officer of the Shandong Left Association, knock to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live......

Nourishing Heart Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

Xu Changqing respectfully knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Hehe, Xu Aiqing is here, let's get even. Come, give a seat! ”

"Emperor Xie."

Seeing Xu Changqing sitting on the small round pier brought by the little eunuch in a regular manner, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was also a little complicated for a while.

He had long known that Xu Changqing would enter Beijing today, but he didn't plan to summon Xu Changqing so early and in such a hurry, but after finishing his government affairs, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that it would never work without seeing Xu Changqing.

At this time, although many war reports are extravagant and gorgeous, and everyone is embellishing their own achievements, they have never been able to bypass a core point:

"Xu Changqing was surrounded by the main force of the Qing army, and he held on!"

What is this concept?

At least so far, there is no second person in Daming who can do it!

Combined with the time Xu Changqing spent training in the Shandong Left Association, this is definitely a bit amazing.

"Hehe, Xu Qing, have you been tired these days, how is it, can your body still bear it?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Xu Changqing with a smile, although this smile was a bit fake, it could be seen that he had tried his best.

Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Emperor, it's okay." You also have to take care of your body, your body is the capital. ”

The two chatted a few words, and the atmosphere gradually softened.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Xu Qing, I read the battle report, the Qing army had besieged Haichengwei before, but the battle report in this regard is not detailed, can you tell me in detail?" ”

Xu Changqing didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to actually turn the conversation here, and he suddenly had a wit in his heart, but Xu Changqing quickly came back to his senses and reported the matter of the Haicheng Guard Battle to Emperor Chongzhen with a smile, of course, the difficulty was reduced a lot.

In the current state of affairs, Xu Changqing no longer wants to repay his merits with the Battle of Haicheng, anyway, the imperial court will definitely not be able to take out so much silver for a while and a half, and he wants to reward the soldiers under his command by himself, so why be such a rising bird at this time and attract everyone's jealousy?

Emperor Chongzhen's face was also a lot more solemn after hearing this, and he even began to discuss some tactics with Xu Changqing.

This made Xu Changqing quickly understand that the victory of the Jingshi Guard War gave this master a lot of confidence.

"Emperor, the Qing army actually has no tricks to attack the city, mostly using our Ming people as slaves, and bulldozing the fortifications outside the city first. In my humble opinion, this process is often the most important! The Tartars must be stopped from approaching the walls! Because once the Tartars come up, with the combat power of my Ming soldiers, many things will have to be done with half the effort. So, many times, for the sake of the big picture, there have to be trade-offs! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was willing to listen, and Xu Changqing also told him some dry goods, although according to the trajectory of history, he may never need it again......

"Oh? This ......"

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, and began to reflect on the many details of the previous Beijing division defense battle, if they had thought about it and did not let the Qing army push over, then, the Qing army would naturally not be able to push the city head of Guangqumen, and with the accumulation of the Beijing division, it would definitely cause them greater damage in the process of advancing after the Qing army.

The two chatted for more than an hour, and Emperor Chongzhen was in a happy mood, "Xu Qing, I heard that you are still unmarried, do you have any relatives?" ”

Xu Changqing suddenly became clever, and the smile on his face froze for a while, and only after a while did he come back to his senses, and said in his heart: Didn't this master ask knowingly?

After all, his affairs with Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei are almost known to the world.

But Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to see Xu Changqing's surprise, and continued to smile and look at Xu Changqing and said: "Xu Qing, you are my Ming Dynasty, and you are young and promising, your merits and loyalty, I see it in my eyes, to be honest, I can't overestimate you." It's just that, Xu Qing, you have to know that it's hard for me. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Emperor Chongzhen's words Xu Changqing couldn't answer at all, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while, so he pretended to look at him with fear.

Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be in control, smiled and said: "Xu Qing, you want to know, I have a daughter, named Princess Kunxing, she is very fond of you." ”

"Emperor, this ......"

The cold sweat on Xu Changqing's forehead couldn't stop pouring out, he never expected Emperor Chongzhen to come like this!

It's no wonder that everyone wants to be the emperor, standing on the commanding heights of righteousness, just a casual little trick can make the people below at a loss.

"Huh. Kun Xingming, she is fifteen years old this year, I am not boasting, she is like a flower in my heart! Xu Qing, are you willing to marry my daughter? ”

Emperor Chongzhen continued to advance, looking at Xu Changqing with a smile.

Xu Changqing's heart was already wet, and he really couldn't touch the vein of Emperor Chongzhen.

But soon, Xu Changqing also came back to his senses violently, Zhu Yujiao, this, isn't this the legendary Princess Changping, the master of the Nine Difficulties......

This master actually wants to ......

At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly saw that in the depths of Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, a touch of playfulness flashed away, which made Xu Changqing suddenly a lot clearer, this is to capture the old and indulge it!

"Emperor, you, you are very loving, in fact, the minister already has a family affair......"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Changqing also wanted to try the deep meaning of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Hehe, this is also true, Xu Qing is so good, and everyone in the world is not blind. This is a sudden matter. However, Xu Qing, don't you want to think about this matter? ”

……

Leaving the palace, Xu Changqing almost felt as if he had just been fished out of the water, and he was soaked.

I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen is the emperor in the end, even if he is very vegetable, but if he really wants to target a certain person, it is still like pinching an ant to death.

has been returning to the Wu Mansion, Xu Changqing has come back to his senses a little, this is probably a bait for Emperor Chongzhen.

Marry a princess.

Especially the famous Princess Changping, who doesn't want to?

But how can pie fall from the sky?

Especially the playfulness of Emperor Chongzhen's fleeting appearance made Xu Changqing deeply warned!

"Uncle is back, let the back kitchen fire up-"

At this time, the butler shouted, and the quiet Wu Mansion became lively again.

Although tonight's reception banquet was interrupted by the summons of the Son of Heaven, it was not too late at this time, so it was natural to continue.

Soon, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui, Wu Sanfu, including Xu Changqing's old mother-in-law, also welcomed out with the support of Wu Sanmei.

The Wu family had already prepared a banquet before, but what kind of identity Xu Changqing was at this time, how could he eat leftovers, so he naturally redid it.

is still the old mother-in-law and son-in-law, knowing that Xu Changqing has not eaten yet, so she asked the back kitchen to fry a few dishes for Xu Changqing to cushion her stomach.

After Xu Changqing finished eating, he came to the guest hall and sat down, Wu Xiang personally poured Xu Changqing a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Changqing, you holy family, the old man is a little envious." How's it going, right? ”

Wu Sangui pretended to be inadvertent, but looked at Xu Changqing very nervously.

Xu Changqing was amused in his heart, and said in his heart that if Lao Wu knew the core of his entry into the palace this time, he was afraid that he would be able to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

After greeting for a while, Xu Changqing delicately pushed things over, and as the wine and food were served like an assembly line, the wine banquet officially began.

At this time, although Xu Changqing and Wu Sanmei have not really married, they are no different from getting married, Xu and Wu are already a family.

After Xu Changqing toasted Wu Xiang and his mother-in-law's wine in a regular manner, the woman went down to rest, and the topic began to turn to the main topic.

Wu Xiang is also the same as Emperor Chongzhen, and he is quite concerned about Xu Changqing's defense battle in Haicheng, but he is undoubtedly much older than Emperor Chongzhen in his life.

Wu Sanfu had obviously said something to them, and Wu Sangui was also playing with the wine glass, staring at Xu Changqing tightly.

“…… Father-in-law, in the battle of Haicheng, although the son-in-law won in the end, it was only a tragic victory. The combat strength of the Qing army is not clear in a few words, but one thing can be determined by the son-in-law, if the model army encounters the main force of the Qing army in the field, it may not be their opponent! ”

Xu Changqing explained some details of the Battle of Haicheng to Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui in detail, and finally made a more fair evaluation.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui both fell into deep thought, but Wu Sanfu was a little unconvinced: "Dashuai, you can't say that, this time in Fengjialin Mountain, my model army and soldiers, didn't I also defend it?" Qing army, it's really nothing remarkable! ”

"Shut up and listen to what Changqing has to say!"

Wu Xiang's old temper was committed again, and he yelled at Wu Sanfu.

"Daddy—"

Wu Sanfu was aggrieved, but in the end he lowered his head with tears.

Xu Changqing sighed slightly in his heart, even if he was the same son-in-law, he was still the same person.

But soon Xu Changqing suddenly came back to his senses, Wu Xiang's attitude towards Wu Sanfu did not mean to please himself......

For a while, Xu Changqing broke out in a cold sweat again, playing with an old man like Wu Xiang is really a pit all the time.

This is Wu Xiang deliberately giving Wu Sanfu's good person to himself......

Wu Sangui said at this time: "What Changqing said is right. If there was Chen Jialin first, the Qing army had not lost its vigor and had no worries, and the outcome of this battle would be really difficult to say. ”

Wu Xiang nodded and said: "Tartar is the habit of beasts, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. You can only beat them until the flesh hurts, and they will never dare to mess around again. However, even so, who else can achieve this level of evergreen in my Ming Dynasty? Uncle, you have to study hard with Changqing. ”

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "I know Changqing's ability, if you really want to play with your life, I'm afraid no one in the world can beat it!" ”

A meal of wine was drunk until the middle of the night, except for Xu Changqing, the Wu family was drunk, and Xu Changqing could only send them back to the room one by one.

When he arrived at Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui suddenly came to his senses, ran directly to the grass on the side, and threw up with his throat.

When he finished vomiting, Xu Changqing had already asked the servant to bring him a bowl of water.

Wu Sangui didn't talk to Xu Changqing politely, drank the water cleanly, and said with a wry smile: "I knew that tonight would definitely not be your kid's opponent." ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "Second brother, it's rare that Old Taishan is so happy tonight, drink more, drink more." When we have time, we will get together alone. ”

Wu Sangui asked people to bring two bags of cigarettes, lit them separately with Xu Changqing, and sat in the garden to blow the wind.

After being silent for a while, he sighed and said, "Changqing, do you know about the eldest brother?" If the eldest brother is here, tonight will be complete. ”

Xu Changqing nodded.

Wu Sangui's words are already a bit heart-wrenching.

Wu Sanfeng, the boss of the Wu family, voted for Tartar a few years ago, although Wu Xiang didn't say it, how could he not miss it in his heart?

At this time, seeing Wu Xiang's state with his own eyes, Xu Changqing also felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

The vested interests of the Wu family, the Ming family, are indeed very unclean, but what choice can they have when they are in the game?

After chatting with Wu Sangui for half an hour, Wu Sangui smiled and patted Xu Changqing's shoulder: "Changqing, it's not too early, go back to sleep early." By the way, are you free the night after tomorrow? ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing raised his eyes to look at Wu Sangui.

Although the two talked a lot tonight, they never talked about business, they were all talking about history and ideals.

I have to say that Wu Sangui's charm is admired by Xu Changqing.

This is the elite of the true family.

Wu Sangui smiled and hugged Xu Changqing's neck, "Don't worry, can the second brother still pit you?" Meddlesome. Take you to meet the girls in Gangnam. When the time comes, I'll send someone to call you! ”

Xu Changqing wanted to say something, but Wu Sangui left humming a little song with a smile.
