The moon is bright and the stars are combing, the excitement of the Wuying Hall has ended, and Emperor Chongzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace with a slight drunkenness.

Tonight was the most relaxing and comfortable night since he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty.

Under the circumstance that Emperor Chongzhen deliberately put down his body, he communicated very smoothly with the generals, not only won the allegiance of the generals present, but also had a deeper understanding of the true situation of the officers and soldiers on the front line of the Ming Dynasty.

Seriously speaking, there are many operational factors that affect the Ming army, but the most important ones are the following points.

The salary is not enough to support the family, the armor is not enough to protect oneself, the training is not enough to fight, and the disabled are not enough to provide pensions.

In fact, in the final analysis, everything is related to food.

This is also a necessary causal relationship.

When a country's finances have problems, the first thing that will affect them is a series of military problems.

After all, military spending is the largest expense in all dynasties, especially in a perennial state of war.

The war is rising!

Emperor Chongzhen wrote down these four words, his eyes full of determination.

The Ming Dynasty has a long history of being noble and lowly, and the military generals have no status in front of the civil ministers, except for the arbitrary deduction of food and salary, even their dignity is not guaranteed.

When the battle on the front line is won, forget the soldiers who died. If it fails, it will denounce the incompetence of the three armies.

In short, no one in the imperial court would care about the process and difficulties of fighting on the front line.

is so unfair, even if the Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, how can it be reasonable to strengthen the army?

Now that the Imperial Driver's personal expedition is imminent, if we do not take the opportunity to solve this problem, it will be even more difficult in the future.

While thinking about it, the chamberlain came in to report that Lu Jiude, the eunuch of the Yongwei Battalion, had something to report.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and motioned for him to enter.

The two supervisors of the Yongwei Battalion, Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin, are both two eunuchs who are the governors of the Imperial Horse Guard, and have made great contributions to the creation of the Yongwei Battalion.

Therefore, the previous Emperor Chongzhen was quite important and gave them the right to enter the palace at any time.

Soon, Lu Jiude came in hunched and reported to Emperor Chongzhen that Cao Bianjiao was leading his generals and soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion to drink in the military camp after the imperial banquet.

Speaking of which, drinking in the barracks is also a period of martial law, even for senior generals such as Cao Bianjiao, it can be big or small.

As the supervisor of the Yongwei Battalion, no matter how big or small, Lu Jiude must report truthfully.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and signaled that he already knew.

If this matter were someone else, Emperor Chongzhen would inevitably be furious and punished. But for Cao Bianjiao and them, it's a trivial matter, and they are even happy to see it come to fruition.

Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan and others are all fierce generals who fought hard from the border guards by their own skills, and they have many common languages with each other.

In addition, in the imperial banquet, Emperor Chongzhen added fuel to the fire, and vigorously praised them as the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and the fierce generals must rise from the model of the army.

I hope that in the future battles, they will be able to protect each other and help each other, jointly suppress the slaves, make repeated military exploits, and immediately become marquis.

It is estimated that they all listened to these words, so they did this.

Drinking alcohol is undoubtedly the easiest way to communicate with military generals to enhance friendship.

Besides, at today's imperial banquet, Emperor Chongzhen also advised them to drink as much as they wanted.

But in front of the Son of Heaven, as long as his head is not broken, no one will dare to drink happily, so as not to get drunk and ugly and leave a bad impression.

Therefore, for Cao Bianjiao and others, it must not be fun.

Then, after the royal banquet, find a place to drink, which is the proper meaning.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's smile, Lu Jiude instantly understood what the emperor meant, and immediately bowed down and left.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts were flying, and his mind was full of future layouts.

It's just that when he was distracted, a soft voice came from his ears again, "Your Majesty, the queen mother has boiled chicken soup, is it sent over or is Your Majesty going over in person?" ”

"I ...... Later will pass. ”

Sighing secretly in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and asked the female official Qingge to go back first to confess.

It's finally time to face reality!

To be honest, it has been more than ten days since he crossed over, and Emperor Chongzhen was subconsciously avoiding how to face the harem.

But what should come should always come, and it's useless to escape, so let's just face it calmly!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, rubbed his face and walked towards Empress Zhou's Kunning Palace.

It's just that the steps are a little unsteady, and it seems that I am still a little scared!

To be honest, in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou and Empress Ma have always been idols in his heart, and they can be called the most perfect people in the Ming Dynasty.

The mother's rites are placed on them in the world, and they are the most appropriate, and no one is impeccable.

Now, the time has finally come.

Kunning Palace, the head of the three palaces after the inner court, echoes with the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor is the sky, the queen is the earth, the emperor is Qian, the queen is Kun, and the Kun is a Ninging in the Tao Te Ching, so it is called Kunning Palace.

In the same way, the sky is clear, and the emperor's bedroom is called Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace represents the masculine, and Kunning Palace represents the feminine, in order to represent the combination of yin and yang, the meaning of the combination of heaven and earth.

Passing through the Jiaotai Palace, the majestic Kunning Palace was displayed in front of Emperor Chongzhen, who walked very slowly.

Along the way, the palace maids they met all bent down and bowed their heads to show their salutes.

There are not many eunuchs in the harem, there are no big eunuchs, only some small yellow doors. It seems to be the rule for eunuchs to serve the emperor and palace maids to serve concubines.

At the entrance of the palace, Empress Zhou's personal female official Qingge had been waiting for a long time to greet Emperor Chongzhen, who was still beating gongs and drums in his heart.

"You don't need to inform the queen to welcome you, you all are busy!"

When the matter came, Emperor Chongzhen came down indifferently, waved his hand to stop the palace maid who was about to go to report, and walked into Kunning Palace with his legs raised.

Kunning Palace is the dormitory of Queen Zhou, the main hall is nine, three rooms deep, from the outside, the area is about eight or nine hundred square meters.

Entering the door is a hall, about 15 meters deep, with carved seats on the left and right, and a coffee table in the middle of the seats.

The innermost part is a phoenix seat decorated with golden yellow decorations, which is where Empress Zhou met with courtiers and noble ladies.

Entering through the west door, it is very wide, with more than a dozen looms, and then the kitchen.

Throughout the ages, it is estimated that it is rare for the queen to weave and cook in person, but in the memory of Emperor Chongzhen, Queen Zhou is accustomed to it.

Touching the scene, tears slowly flowed, and Emperor Chongzhen was a little sad.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

When he was sad, Emperor Chongzhen heard a soft greeting in his ears with deep concern.
