After everything that should have been said, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded Tang Ruowang with a Grade A eavesdropping seed by the way, and he was not interested in talking to him again, and the Dongchang Servants escorted these Xiyi to Haojingao in Guangdong, and from there they would be supervised to leave the Ming Dynasty.

Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen decreed that Pang Tianshou, as the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, was familiar with the rules of the palace, but he still collaborated with outsiders to peep into the palace, intending to deal with the royal family. Other accomplices, exiled to Hainan.

Thus, this matter is over.

This matter, among the people of Daming, did not make much waves, after all, at this time, the influence of Western sects in Daming was still very small, and only some related to it were concerned.

Then, it's the New Year, Daming up and down, all are reunited, looking forward to the coming year to be better and better year by year!

Compared with the sound of firecrackers during the New Year of the Ming Dynasty, the sound of children playing and playing, and the smiles and blessings of adults, Liaodong is very bleak!

In the Tieling Royal Mansion, Kong Youde's family was eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Suddenly, Kong Tingxun dropped his chopsticks and said to Kong Youde a little angrily: "Father, my sons want to eat white-flour steamed buns, and they also want to eat meat!" ”

As soon as he heard this, his sister Kong Sizhen also put down her chopsticks, and she didn't even have white flour steamed buns to eat during the New Year, and there was no meat, is this still a palace?

Kong Youde's body stiffened when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, barely showed a smile on his face, and said to his son: "Well, I think back then, my father didn't even have to eat these things, eat quickly!" Nowadays, filling your stomach is the most important thing! ”

However, Kong Tingxun didn't buy it, and still said angrily: "But, now you are the prince!" Erchen listened to the kid from Jiala'e Zhen's family showing off, his family has meat to eat, as well as white-flour steamed buns, he eats a bite, spit out a mouthful......"

"Enough!" As soon as he heard this, Kong Youde finally lost his smile, snorted, stood up, interrupted his son's words, stared at him, and said almost word by word, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and left the table by himself, leaving everyone else with a sad face: this day is really getting more and more sad!

In the past, in Tieling, the prince was respected, and there was no Jurchen Jiala Ezhen, since the death of the first emperor and Geng Zhongming's betrayal of the Qing Dynasty, Shengjing sent Jiala Ezhen. The matter of Tieling is nominally for Kong Youde and Jia Lae Zhen to discuss. But in fact, most of the things are really in charge of the guns.

Kong Youde was known as a obedient king, but in fact he was just an overseer for a group of serfs, only responsible for specific agricultural work.

At this time, Kong Youde came to the courtyard, and he didn't care about the cold wind, but just let the cold wind blow, looking up at a crescent moon, and his heart was a little dazed.

Seriously, when he heard his son say that the dignified prince didn't even have to eat white-flour steamed buns, he was really stimulated.

At that time, he remembered that when he was still in the Dongjiang Army, the conditions at that time were also very difficult, and he also had to eat bran vegetables. However, after he rose higher and higher with his military rank, during the Chinese New Year, there were white flour steamed buns after all. But I didn't expect that a few years after the Qing Dynasty, it would be worse than the Dongjiang Army!

Thinking of this, Kong Youde couldn't help but think of today's Daqing, when it was still in the past, he really would never have thought that Daqing would have today!

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was so arrogant that it was simply pressing the Ming Dynasty. The arrogance of the Qing soldiers is still impressive.

At that time, the people of the Qing Dynasty were all coated with them, and the higher the status, the more coatings they received. When have you ever reached the point of eating bran vegetables, they are all big fish and meat, eat well, drink well, and have the strength to fight and win the battle, and the more things you grab, the more things you will share.

In the past, every time the Qing Dynasty felt that there was not enough manpower and financial resources, they would enter the customs to plunder. It's as if the Guannai is their own self-reserved land, they can go if they want to, and they can rob if they want to, but the Ming army can only stare dryly, and few troops dare to carry each other head-on with the Qing army, most of them fled when they heard the wind, and the Qing army chased the Ming army to kill!

Once upon a time, Kong Youde even had an illusion that one day, if he continued like this, would the Qing Dynasty enter the customs and then not leave!

However, just when he had this thought, Da Ming's side suddenly had a sudden change, as if he had suddenly received the help of heaven and became powerful all of a sudden.

If you remember correctly, it started with Prince Rui's army leading the raids in the pass. I don't know if it's because I moved the king of the Ming Dynasty, so I began to lose the battle. In the battle of Tianjin, half of the spoils of war were lost at once. If this is still an accident, the Ming Dynasty rebuilt the Dongjiang Army, captured Lushun, defeated the counterattack of the Qing Dynasty, and destroyed the joint naval division of the Qing Dynasty and North Korea, and regained a foothold on the Liaodong side, which is enough to show that this is definitely not an accident.

Subsequently, in the battle of Pyongyang, the Ming army even dared to go out of the city to fight. In the Battle of Tashan, more than 10,000 Qing troops were annihilated, and even Prince Rui was captured by the Ming army. In the battle of Guihua City, a Prince Zheng was folded and put back in Azig, and so on, it is enough to prove that Da Ming just dozed off, and now he has woken up.

Maybe Brother Geng just realized this, so he thought about returning to Daming!

Thinking of this, Kong Youde thought of Geng Zhongming, and couldn't help but feel sad again. He has no opinion on Geng Zhongming's submission. In this troubled era, everyone has their own aspirations, not to mention, the Qing Dynasty is actually still the enemy of the Han people in Liaodong, so how can they be loyal. It's just a pity that Geng Zhongming was betrayed by his son and ended up dying tragically.

Alas! Geng Zhongming sighed deeply. This brother of his own, even if he dies, he will not be at peace!

Originally, the Ming Emperor attached great importance to it and gave him posthumous glory, which can be regarded as okay. As a result, I didn't expect that under the counterattack of the Qing Dynasty, Jinzhou changed hands again. On the Qing side, Geng Zhongming's grave was laid down, and he was crushed and ashes were scattered. Geng Jimao, who was originally kneeling, was given a burial. Speaking of which, Brother Geng's bones were crushed and scattered, which is also his son's sin, otherwise, he should eat and drink spicy food at Daming's side at this time!

"Lord Wang, it's too cold outside, let's go back to the house!" A voice, with a hint of worry, sounded behind Kong Youde, and at the same time, a cloak was also draped on his body, "Xun'er is still young and ignorant, so don't take it to heart!" ”

Kong Youde turned around and saw that it was his princess, Kong Tingxun's mother, so he said coldly: "He's still young? I'm afraid that when he grows up, he will be as cheating as the unfilial son of the Geng family! ”

Although in the Qing Dynasty, Geng Jimao's loyalty is promoted, but in private, no one wants his child to be the same as that Geng Jimao. What's more, the Kong family and the Geng family are very close, and most of them are sympathetic to Geng Zhongming's experience.

"No, Xun'er will definitely not be like that person, don't worry." When Kong Tingxun's mother heard this, she hurriedly defended her son. If you really want to become such a person, you don't even dare to die, what face do you have to meet your ancestors and ancestors!

Kong Youde doesn't want to continue on this topic, it's troublesome!

Therefore, he turned around and continued to admire the moon, and at the same time commanded in a cold voice: "Go back to the house, I just want to be quiet." ”

Do you really just want to be quiet? Is it because the prince's face was punctured by Xun'er? Kong Tingxun thought so in his mother's heart, but he didn't dare not listen, so he sighed softly and retreated into the house.

There is a big family behind him, and Kong Youde has to think about his family. However, this is about to pass a year, and for the Qing Dynasty, there are really too many things happening, even if you don't have other thoughts, just want to live a stable life, it seems impossible.

In Kong Youde's heart, he is still grateful to Huang Taiji.

When he was desperate, he led the army to defect to the Qing Dynasty. It stands to reason that he also held some lives of the people of the Qing Dynasty in his hands, and he added a lot of blockages to the Qing Dynasty, but when Huang Taiji heard that he was coming, he actually led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet him, and even named himself a king with a different surname!

This kind of treatment, Kong Youde is still a little flattered when he thinks about it now. At that time, he even swore in his heart that if he died for his confidant, he would be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. For this reason, when attacking North Korea, it was really desperate.

But then, to meet with the former brothers, to attack Phi Island, no matter how to fall out, for that place, after all, there is affection. Later, as a prince, he was not very valued. has been training firearms soldiers for the Qing Dynasty, and has not grasped the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Originally, it was nothing, but suddenly, the Ming Dynasty suddenly became stronger, and the firearms army that he could control had no advantage at all in front of the huge Ming army. From that time on, Kong Youde felt that he was being treated coldly in front of Huang Taiji.

This feeling, until he was transferred to Tieling, he could make it clear that Huang Taiji's mind about himself had changed, and he had changed his mind!

Originally, it was nothing, but it was okay to live a stable life anyway! Anyway, at least a prince is not!

However, in this year, Geng Zhongming had an accident, Huang Taiji died suddenly, followed by the six kings discussing politics, and Prince Rui was crowned regent. The situation in the Qing Dynasty has changed, and his treatment of Kong Youde has also taken a sharp turn for the worse.

On Sheng Jing's side, his distrust of himself has been put on the surface. This point can be explained by the fact that a Kala Ezhen was sent to seize power. The treatment of the palace is even worse and worse, and even during the New Year, you can't eat white-flour steamed buns or a piece of meat, if you say it, this prince is a joke!

Thinking of this, Kong Youde couldn't help but sigh again.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that the current predicament of the Qing Dynasty was really very difficult. Otherwise, I wouldn't have eaten a white-flour steamed bun, and if I ate a piece of meat, I would have been taken out to show off!

The grassland tribes were exterminated by the Ming Dynasty, and the Horqin tribe had nothing to eat, and they all crowded to Liaodong. And here in Liaodong, there was a shortage of grain and grass materials, and there were so many mouths at once, it would be strange if the grain and grass materials were not nervous! What's more, the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army wreaked havoc on a grain field, which made matters worse.

It is also thanks to the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army that when they destroyed the grain fields, they also killed the Jurchens and reduced some of the mouths for eating, otherwise, this grain would definitely be even more insufficient.

On the North Korean side, it is said that he came back with some looting. However, how could those things be given to Tieling, on the Shengjing side, all the armies have to be divided, and they must not be enough!

Thinking of this, Kong Youde sighed again, just as soon as he thought of the domestic affairs of the Qing Dynasty and his current situation, he didn't know how much he sighed.

As soon as tonight passes, it is the first year of Shunzhi, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, right? What will happen in the new year?

Naturally, he couldn't have known that in the original history, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was the most glorious and shit year of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, in this plane......

Kong Youde was thinking about it, and suddenly, he saw his housekeeper, like a thief, coming to him lightly.

"Huh?" When Kong Youde saw it, he couldn't help but snort from his nostrils, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "From your own house, what are you doing here?" Could it be, your son is also making trouble, and wants to come to me to order white noodles? ”

His housekeeper, called Kong Yongan, is his own family, fled with him, went to the Dongjiang Army together, and came to the Qing Dynasty together, it can be said that he is a confidant in his heart, a brother who shares life and death, therefore, when he speaks, Kong Youde will not put the prince on the shelf.

When Kong Yongan heard his words, he was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, the strange expression on his face made Kong Youde a little surprised.

Walking in front of him, Kong Yongan approached Kong Youde and whispered in his ear: "Chen Shaoan is here, saying that he wants to see you, master!" ”

Chen Shao'an? Kong Youde's brain short-circuited slightly, and then he was shocked, but he still couldn't believe it, and hurriedly confirmed in a low voice: "Is it Chen Shao'an under Brother Geng?" ”

Kong Yongan listened, nodded, and didn't speak, just looked at him.

After receiving the confirmation, Kong Youde was greatly surprised, so he whispered: "He really ate the gall of a bear-hearted leopard, and dared to sneak into Tieling?" ”

In his opinion, in the last incident, the Ming Emperor actually used the lives of Prince Li and three thousand Qing soldiers to replace his mother back, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to the Ming Emperor. According to his estimate, he must have enjoyed happiness on Daming's side.

But who knew that he would come to him? Isn't he afraid that he will tie him up and send him to Shengjing? You must know that if you do this, it is very likely that you will not have this kind of predicament of being monitored now, and your son will probably eat white flour steamed buns! And himself, he is a little bit of a prince's face!

Curious in his heart, Kong Youde hurriedly ordered to meet him secretly.
