Chapter 716: Two Bastards (Part 2)

After Zhu Cixiao waved away the little eunuch in the palace, he said to Zhu Cihong mysteriously: "How about our two brothers each have a fast horse, and then take some guards and personal companions to chase after our father's marching route?" ”

Zhu Cihong shuddered suddenly, and seemed to remember something bad: "Brother Wang wants to go even if he goes by himself, Concubine Wan will not do anything to you, but the queen mother will tie me to a chair to learn the rules!" ”

Zhu Cixiao said: "What are you afraid of, as long as we catch up with our father, and we are hung up and beaten by our father, and he is reluctant to really beat us to death, then our brothers will also be on the battlefield?" ”

Zhu Cihong was a little moved.

Last time, I couldn't make the trip when I wanted to leave the palace, and my eldest brother ran to Myanmar for a wave, but he was tied up to learn the rules, so why don't you go out with your eldest brother this time?

But when he thought of Queen Zhou, Zhu Cihong suddenly wilted again: "Big brother, don't think about it, unless our brother leaves the palace and opens the mansion in the future, otherwise, the queen mother will not let us go." ”

Zhu Cixiao was still unwilling.

I was cheated by the father of the son of the pit, and in a few years, I have to marry a widow who is several years older than me as a concubine, and Zhu Cixiao, who was originally unhappy with the age gap between himself and the widow princess, is even more unhappy now.

Do you still have to have a woman in the Japanese country? The eyebrows are shaved, the teeth are blackened, and the white part of the face is only a little red on the lips, and people are not ghosts or ghosts, and the daughter of the Han family does not marry this kind of half-ghost creature?

This is really a real father! Why don't you marry yourself?

Although he felt better after being enlightened by Emperor Chongzhen, there was another opportunity to run out in front of him, but Zhu Cixiao didn't want to let go of it no matter what.

Out of the palace waves, when I was in Myanmar before, I could only watch others fight, do I want to rush up this time? Taking the lead in the battle, there is a feeling of blood boiling when you think about it.

But before Zhu Cihong could decide whether to leave the palace or stay in the summer palace, Zhu Cihong's personal little eunuch hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said, "Two highnesses, Empress Yi'an ordered someone to summon the two highnesses to go." ”

After Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong glanced at each other, they tidied up their clothes and followed the little eunuch to the palace where Empress Zhang and the others were.

As soon as they arrived at Yanfu Palace, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cixiao bowed together: "Erchen has seen the imperial aunt, the queen mother, and the concubine Yi. ”

Zhu Cihong bowed to Wan Yan Yuzhuo again: "Erchen has seen Concubine Wanniang. ”

Zhu Cixiao also said: "Erchen has seen his mother. ”

After a round of etiquette, the two brothers could hardly find the slightest fault, but Zhang Yan snorted coldly and said: "If the palace doesn't send someone to send your two brothers to come, I'm afraid you will run out of the palace again, right?" ”

Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of doubts - this discussion of leaving the palace was known to the two brothers, the little eunuch was kicked out, who was the secret?

Looking at the bewildered look of the two brothers, Zhang Yan knew that she had guessed correctly just now - who would have thought that she could really bluff these two bastards under a deception?

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Yan, whose chest was fluctuating with anger, stretched out her finger and pointed at the two of them, and said angrily: "You two little bastards, completely ignoring the worries of the palace and your queen mother, one by one, you want to lead troops to fight like your father, right?" You're planning to kill this palace with anger! ”

Queen Zhou patted Zhang Yan's hand and said, "Sister-in-law is angry, these two little bastards are still young after all, it would be good if they were older, it would be worthwhile to be angry with them." ”

After comforting Empress Zhang, Queen Zhou, who turned her head, sneered: "It's really amazing, at the moment, among the princes, you two are the biggest, and the two of you are the least worry-free!"

Seeing that the boss is not too small, and in a few years, he should take a concubine and become a vassal, and he doesn't want to learn how to govern the country, but thinks about how to lead troops to fight, right? ”

Looking at the two guys who were a little depressed, but a trace of unconvincing flashed in their eyes, Queen Zhou was even more angry in her heart, and shouted: "What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with this palace reprimanding you? ”

Zhu Cihong said fiercely: "Erchen doesn't dare, it's just that Erchen and Brother Wang want to serve in front of the battle and share their worries for their father, and there is nothing wrong with Erchen and Brother Wang!" ”

As soon as Zhu Cihong's words came out, he immediately secretly said that it was not good.

Now that these words are spoken on this occasion, I am afraid that they will be finished today.

Sure enough, Queen Zhou, who was dizzy with anger, stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhu Cihong, and said angrily: "Come on, drag these two bastards to the palace and punish them for thirty years, so that they can learn the rules!" ”

Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong couldn't help but be secretly happy in their hearts.

It's just a beating, even if these executing eunuchs are given a few more dares, they may not dare to beat themselves up, unless it is Fang Zhenghua himself.

The question is, the father and the emperor led the troops to the battle, and Fang Zhenghua would definitely escort him with the men of the imperial horse eunuch, which of the remaining eunuchs in the palace dared to really beat him?

In this way, it is much better to be beaten than to be tied up and learn the rules.

After the two brothers were dragged down, Queen Zhou suddenly spoke: "No, the palace has to go and see it in person, the eunuchs in the palace are afraid that they don't dare to beat these two bastards." ”

Empress Zhang snorted, and also put down the embroidered bandage in her hand: "The palace will also go and take a look, if you don't give these two little bastards a good long memory, I'm afraid they will think about sneaking out of the palace next time." ”

After Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang came over with a group of people from Wuyangyang, their hearts were about to be blown up.

The two brothers were tied to a long bench, looking ready to be beaten, but they each had a piece of tiger skin on their buttocks, and they were bulging underneath, and they didn't know how many things were stuffed, and even the rope that tied the two brothers was a brocade rope twisted from silk.

Zhu Cihong, who tilted his head to the side, and didn't see Empress Zhang, Empress Zhou and others coming, was still shouting: "Hurry up!" After beating the palace, there is still something important to do with Brother Wang! ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhu Cixie: "We can't get out of this summer palace, but let's go to our brothers to do war games, this thing made by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is good!" ”

Zhu Cixie, who was already drowsy, did not notice the arrival of Empress Zhang, Empress Zhou and others, and muttered: "It's a pity! The real battle array is exciting, and this king wants to use a knife to cut people like the British dukes.

Having said that, if you become an emperor in the future, this king will lead a large army to conquer those Maozi on the side of Beishan and lay a big territory for you! ”

Zhu Cihong snorted coldly and said: "Brother Wang, don't dream, don't you know what kind of character our father is, can he still leave you hair for you to chop?" When the time comes, you might as well stay in the capital and play wargames with the main palace.

Besides, it's not certain who owns this throne, how could my father be the crown prince early in the spring and autumn period? Maybe then we will simply pass on the throne to the grandson, nothing to do with our brothers! ”

While he was talking, Zhu Cihong found that the little eunuch who was covering his ass with a brocade cushion had already knelt down with a face, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Looking at Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cixiao turning their heads one after another, Queen Zhou's pretty face turned pale with anger, and said angrily: "Take all these messy things, replace the rope with hemp rope, and fight hard with the palace!" ”

If I hadn't come over to see it myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that these two bastards were actually enjoying it like this, where would they be a little bit beaten? It's a shame that I'm still worried about them just now!

When the little eunuchs who were executed saw that Queen Zhou had finally spoken, they immediately felt like they had been amnestied, and hurriedly took away these messy brocade mat tiger skins and other things, and replaced the brocade rope with hemp rope, and then began the execution.

Zhu Cihong was ready to bloom on his buttocks, but the sound of the stick whistled down, hitting the buttocks very loudly, but there was only a slight pain, which was worse than a needle prick.

Although there was some confusion in his heart, Zhu Cihong still screamed first: "Help!" Mother save me! Erchen knows that he is wrong! ”

Zhu Cixiao also screamed: "The queen mother spares her sons!" Queen mother! Erchen knows that he is wrong! ”

Listening to the screams of the two, and seeing that the two of them were mixed up from the bench by the little eunuch, and they could barely stand, Queen Zhou snorted coldly and said: "I will write it down to the palace in the future, and if I beat it again in the future, I will have to beat it so hard like Fang Cai!" Dare to fool this palace again, be careful of your skin! ”

After Empress Zhou reprimanded many little eunuchs, Zhang Yan said lightly: "Send the imperial doctor to come and treat these two bastards!" ”

After finishing speaking, he left with Queen Zhou and others, and the weak voices of the two brothers came from behind him: "Erchen sends the imperial aunt, and the queen mother sends ......"

Seeing that Empress Zhou and the others had gone away, and they couldn't even see the shadow, Zhu Cihong threw off the little eunuch who was mixed with him, tore off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and threw it over: "I've rewarded you, take it to exchange for wine and drink, and go back to my palace to find Chen Companion to receive the reward." ”

A group of little eunuchs were immediately overjoyed, knelt down and bowed: "Slaves and maids, thank you for the reward from Your Highness!" ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and ordered the little eunuchs to get up, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Cixie: "Let's go, go to the palace of the little brother first, there will be a scene to be performed later, and then let's go back and play the military chess deduction." ”

Zhu Cixiao nodded, and strode towards the palace with Zhu Cihong, where was there still half a minute of the miserable appearance when he was beaten just now.

Zhang Yan, who had just left here, saw that there was already some distance, so she spoke: "Next time, you can't let them be fooled so easily." ”

Empress Zhou nodded and said: "What the imperial sister-in-law said is that this time let these two little bastards go, and if they dare to commit it again next time, the concubine will take matters into her own hands and teach them a good lesson!" ”

Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh: "The eldest son and the second son of the emperor are both of this temperament, how will they live in the future." ”

Queen Zhou said: "It's just that Yi'er is still worry-free, but how old is Yi'er?" There is such an elder brother as an example, but I am afraid that I will be like this when I grow up. ”

……

Emperor Chongzhen tightened his robe, even if it was already April, the weather on the grassland was gradually warmer, but the wind brought by the galloping horses would still take away the heat on his body, making people feel a trace of coldness.

How great the momentum brought by tens of thousands of war horses galloping is not at all what can be shown in the kneeling and licking dramas of later generations, so that the horses brought by Emperor Chongzhen acted separately.

If they get together, the configuration of one person and two horses will expand the whole team to the number of 200,000 war horses, and after running together, the entire grassland seems to be shaking, and the smoke and dust raised cover the sky, and it will take a long time before it slowly falls back to calm.

Slowly stopped the war horse, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and looked at it for a while and said, "Rest for a while, and then run like this, the war horse should not be able to stand it." ”

Zhang Zhiji and Liu Xingzuo bowed down and responded, and each ordered the team behind them to dismount and rest, and Emperor Chongzhen also got off the horse, picked up the water bag and took a sip.

After wiping his mouth, Emperor Chongzhen said, "I don't know what happened to Xia Ezhe and Battle?" Did you catch Dolgon's little badger? ”

Liu Xingzuo said with a smile: "According to Xiahou and Battle's speed, it is estimated that it will be tomorrow at the earliest, or even the day after tomorrow to catch up with those Jiannu, or even later, after all, Jiannu is the first to flee, and when Xiahou sends troops, several days have passed." ”

Zhang Zhiji also said: "What Liu Hou said is extremely true. Since those Jiannu slaughtered the old and weak in the clan, I am afraid that their speed will not be slow, and it will not be too easy for Xiahou and Batel to catch up with them. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "I hope to catch up with that little wild badger as soon as possible, I can't imagine that these dog Jiannu really dare to break the boat, if they let them run away to India, I am afraid that the Mughal will have to rely on life and variables." ”

Zhang Zhiji's heart is also constantly calculating.

If Jiannu ran to India, he would definitely face a Mughal attack, but there were many problems in it.

The first is that they have to cross the northern border of the Ming Dynasty - according to the hatred between these Jiannu and the Ming, they will only be hellish if they don't do something.

Once the frontier is attacked, the civil officials and imperial historians of the court will take the opportunity to spray, accusing the Governor's Office of the Five Armies of not even guarding the frontier well, so that the Jiannu salted fish will be reborn.

Even if they don't do anything, after arriving in the Mughals, it is likely to stimulate the nerves of the Mughals and unite the Mughal countries that are now divided into three parts of the world.

No matter which of these two situations appears, it is not what the current Ming wants to see - in order to let the Mughal fall into endless internal friction first, Emperor Chongzhen reluctantly let the Mughal go, and only cut some land before returning to China, is it necessary to let Jiannu disrupt all the plans of the Ming Dynasty?

It's impossible to think about.

After resting for a while and eating something briefly, Emperor Chongzhen transferred to another spare war horse and chased forward with his killers.

There is no need to worry too much about the supplies along the way, the speed at which the Jinyi Guard delivers the news will only be faster than the speed of the army's advance, not the speed of the army, I am afraid that the cities along the way have already prepared the food needs of the army.

PS: The second update, 8000 words have been sent. There will be a third shift later.
