Seeing Sun Chuanting again, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very emotional.

In his memory, it is mostly the impression of Sun Chuanting when he led the troops to King Qinwang in Beijing. At that time, gray hair was basically not visible. But now, not only is his hair gray, but his beard is gray.

"Sun Qing, hurry up!" Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal, then stood up, strode down, came to Sun Chuanting's face, looked at him nearby, and said with emotion, "I haven't seen you for so many years, Sun Qing has worked hard!" ”

This homely greeting made Sun Chuanting a little surprised. When I looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, I found that Emperor Chongzhen was much older than I had in my impression, and he was no longer young.

I think back then, the emperor patted his chest to reassure courtiers like him, and he did it boldly, he was an emperor who had to wait.

I don't remember the exact words, but the meaning is engraved in my mind. At that time, the emperor was still very young!

Over the years, no one can hide!

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Sun Chuanting also sighed with emotion in his heart, forgetting the emperor's question for a while, and sending greetings from the bottom of his heart.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I am used to leading soldiers to fight, and my body and bones are very good." Maybe in two years, I will lead the army again and completely level the whole earth! ”

Speaking of this, he said to Wang Chengen, who was on duty by his side: "Move a stool here, I want to have a good chat with Sun Qing!" ”

"Okay!" When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly agreed happily and went to move a stool in person.

Emperor Chongzhen did not go back to the dragon chair, but sat next to Sun Chuanting, looked at Sun Chuanting with a straight upper body, and said with a smile: "After so many years, Sun Qing has worked hard!" Now is the time to retire and enjoy the blessings! ”

"Your Majesty still has to go on the expedition, the old minister is willing to follow His Majesty, and the old minister does not obey the old!" Sun Chuanting was anxious when he heard this, and immediately said.

If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't said that he would be on the expedition in the next two years, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Sun Qing, I don't mean anything else. For so many years, Qing has been fighting wars in North and South America. Now that I'm changing with each passing day, there are a lot of things waiting for Qing to see. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, raised his voice, and said seriously: "Qing has dedicated most of his life to the Ming Dynasty, and now let the descendants do the work, it's time to enjoy it." Take a look around. I'm afraid that Qing won't be able to play my world in this life! ”

This is a reward for the heroes, disarming and returning to the field, saying goodbye to the old and returning to the hometown, walking around and seeing, and what you want! Sun Chuanting thought in his heart, but he still remembered it in his heart, so he insisted: "Weichen is still young, Your Majesty will ......."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at this stubborn white-bearded old man, and felt helpless, so he had to stretch out his hand and interrupt his speech: "If I remember correctly, I am eighteen years younger than Qing!" Can you compare it with me? ”

"......" Sun Chuanting listened and opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he couldn't speak.

Eighteen years apart, how nice it would be if I could be the same year as Your Majesty!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Emperor Chongzhen stood up, took two steps closer, patted Sun Chuanting's shoulder and said: "I think that in the early years, the life and death of the Ming Dynasty were in vain, how desolate it was!" I believe these things are imprinted in Qing's heart. Let's all go for a walk, and see everywhere while we can still walk. Today's Ming Dynasty will definitely live up to his life and save it. ”

"This is Your Majesty's work, how dare Weichen take credit!" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he hurriedly stood up, took two steps back, lowered his head with his hands, and replied respectfully in a sincere tone.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he laughed and said, "That's the result of the joint efforts of me and Qing, let's take a good look." When I have defeated all the countries of Europe, I will no longer fight, walk around, record everything in my heart, and finally leave a fortune to future generations! ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. That's right, I'm really old, so I should walk around next, write a memoir by the way, and leave something for future generations!

After thinking of this, he finally didn't bother with the matter of going out with the car. However, he was still a little curious, so he asked: "Wechen hasn't seen Hong and Lu for many years, I wonder how they are now?" ”

When he came before, he had inquired. But Zhang Pu and the others just said what Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were doing, and they had never seen it. Only Emperor Chongzhen came back from the West, so he asked.

There is actually another benefit to asking this question. It just seems that the three of them are different and have an unusual relationship.

And their friendship began at the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, when King Qin was king. At that time, it was the most critical time for the Ming Dynasty. It was the three of them who stepped forward, coupled with Emperor Chongzhen's Taizu Tuomeng, and began the road to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Sun Chuanting's question, he smiled and said, "The two of them are also old!" After my next expedition, I will bring them all back, so that Qing and the other three can fight together...... Fun! ”

He originally wanted to say that the three of you could just fight the landlord, but he immediately remembered that it was not good to say "fighting the landlord" in this era, so he temporarily changed his words.

Of course, Sun Chuanting also heard that the emperor had changed his words and didn't say anything, so he didn't want to ask, so he suppressed a little curiosity in his heart, and said in the tone of Emperor Chongzhen: "Weichen and Mingweihou were born in the same year, so he must have all white hair, right?" Liaodong Bo is younger than both of us, but the difference is only seven years old, I don't know how it is now? ”

"Huh!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said with a smile, "They are all perennial soldiers, and they are in good health!" Hong Qing really had to be completely white. His place is a cold place! When I came back this time, I told him that he must take good care of his body. Lu Qing is only half-white, but he has a lot of things to worry about, I don't know if I will have to go completely white next time! ”

"Your Majesty, what is Liaodong Bo worried about on the Persian side?" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he asked curiously.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said to him: "Lu Qing not only has to worry about the recovery of the people's livelihood in Persia, but also beware of the Ottomans, and even make the Ottomans feel threatened......

The two of them chatted for an afternoon, until the sunset, when the afterglow of the sunset shone into the hall, and the electric lights were on, the topic was stopped.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is this?" How shiny it is, like daylight? ”

Originally, he didn't want to affect the emperor's rest and wanted to retire. But the electric light was too surprising to him, so he asked.

Originally, there were also on the train, but Sun Chuanting took the train during the day, and now the train is equipped with glass, so he can't use electric lights at all, so he ignored it.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "This is an electric lamp, which was invented by the crown prince. How's that, not bad, right? ”

That's definitely good! Sun Chuanting listened, nodded hurriedly, and wanted to stare at the electric light, but when he looked at it directly, the light was too dazzling, so he blocked it with his hand.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "How about it, I said, Qing should enjoy life and take a walk more, there are more things that Qing has never seen!" ”

This time, Sun Chuanting was really moved, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this time, he had already come back to his senses, and he didn't dare to delay, and when he turned back to the palace gate to be locked, he said goodbye.

The next day, Emperor Chongzhen held a grand court meeting.

At this court meeting, Sun Chuanting's merits were introduced, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, personally recited the will prepared in advance.

No one is surprised by this. They were just a little curious, and including Sun Chuanting, they were all guessing in their hearts what reward the emperor would give in the end.

“…… Sun Qing has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is specially gifted ...... "Wang Chengen is also a troublemaker, and when he read this in a frustrated manner, he deliberately stopped and glanced at Sun Chuanting below. But after all, the emperor was also there, and he didn't dare to pause for too long, so he raised his voice and continued: "Sun Qing is the ...... of the United States."

What is behind, Sun Chuanting can't hear it anymore. His mind was full of "American public ...... Echoes of the ...... of the American public.

O Guogong! It's really a national prince!

Sun Chuanting guessed that he would definitely be knighted, the earl was at least, and the marquis was also possible, after all, Hong Chengchou had already been named the Marquis of Mingwei. As for Guogong, he never thought about it!

is really the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty has never been rewarded except for the founding of the country. This is in the Ming Dynasty, it is the top title, the highest peak of the people!

However, in the decree just now, he was clearly named the Duke of the United States!

"American Princess, still don't accept the order to thank you?"

Wang Chengen's words finally summoned the shocked Sun Chuanting back to God. He wept with joy and immediately thanked him.

The civil and military officials looked at this scene with envy. But if you think about it carefully, Sun Chuanting also fought with his life, and he opened up so much territory for the Ming Dynasty, which is also unprecedented. Thinking about it like this, this envy makes me feel a little better.

However, many people also have their own ideas, and if they want to be at the top of the people, only military merit is the most effective. However, now there are not many enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Shouldn't you play to the emperor and go to Europe to make some military achievements?

Most of them had already heard that Portugal, an ally of the Ming Dynasty, had been exterminated by the Europeans. The crown princess Catherine has obtained the emperor's consent to kill her to take revenge.

Follow the crown princess to Europe, it's the time to finally make military achievements, right?

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the excited Sun Chuanting above, and he didn't care at all about sealing a national duke. For him, Daming is really equivalent to reopening the country once. Sun Chuanting has to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, and it is not hereditary, it is definitely deserved.
