Li Dingguo and Racine entered the palace, but they didn't think that a eunuch was waiting for them here.

"Father-in-law Fang?" Li Dingguo recognized it, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

Fang Gonggong, that is, Fang Zhenghua, because of the high force value, has always been accompanied by Emperor Chongzhen as long as Emperor Chongzhen leaves Beijing or Weifu pays a private visit. Li Dingguo saw him, of course, not once or twice.

"We've been waiting for a long time!" When Fang Zhenghua saw Li Dingguo and Racine, he smiled and said, "Come, come with our family to see Your Majesty!" ”

Generally speaking, this kind of guy who leads the way is just a brocade guard or other chamberlain. Even if the status of Li Dingguo and Racine is not able to let Fang Zhenghua personally lead the way.

Therefore, Li Dingguo and Racine were a little surprised, and hurriedly followed, and guessed in their hearts, could it be something?

Naturally, they immediately guessed if it would have something to do with the vassal king's complaint?

Not to mention, they guessed it right.

Seeing Fang Zhenghua leading the way, he said to them: "If you go back and destroy Persia and Ottomans, grain and grass are the most important, and the emperor has to worry about it personally." I'm busy, I heard that you have arrived, and our family will ask for an order to come and lead you over, there are some things, although the emperor doesn't care, but our family thinks it's better to give you a good reminder! ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo and Racine hurriedly bowed down and listened.

Fang Zhenghua stood up, looked at Li Dingguo and said: "The three feudal kings before all suffered heavy losses, so when I saw the emperor, they all cried and wanted to cure your crimes......

When Racine heard that it was none of his business, he pretended to look elsewhere, but in fact his ears were pricked up, and he listened intently. It's really his Chinese dialect, although he is trying to learn it, but if he doesn't listen carefully, he won't have time to react.

If it is for other ordinary people, it is nothing, at most let him say it again. But at this time, he couldn't let Fang Zhenghua say it again. is not only a matter of status and identity, but also a suspicion of meddling.

However, he was curious about the matter, so he had to try to eavesdrop.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said solemnly: "It is indeed the last general, the last general is willing to accept the punishment!" ”

In this era of family and country, the vassal kings were relatives of the emperor, and one of them was even the emperor's own son. Let them suffer a heavy price, and the emperor will definitely be furious. And for people in this era, they basically take it for granted.

In the original history, when the first vassal king, that is, King De, fell and was captured, Emperor Chongzhen killed a large number of feudal officials and general soldiers. Later, Yang Sichang led the army to chase down the thieves, and when he learned the news that Luoyang and Xiangyang had been lost and the two kings were killed, he felt shameless to face the emperor and committed suicide to apologize. It can be seen that in this era, the vassal king is far more important than the courtiers.

Although in this plane, Emperor Chongzhen did not do this, but he also packed up a group of general soldiers who liked to escape, such as Wang Wei, Zu Kuan and others, and killed the morale of the Ming army.

Although Li Dingguo did not kill the vassal king, it is an indisputable fact that he caused heavy losses to the Tang State. Therefore, when he heard Fang Zhenghua mention it, he immediately confessed his guilt.

Who knew that when Fang Zhenghua heard this, the Buddha dust was raised, clamped on his arm, and his hands clenched into fists in the direction of the depths of the palace: "The emperor knows that you are loyal to the king and serve the country, and he also knows that the disparity in strength in this battle is too great, so he appeased Tang Wang and others." Give Lahore and other places to the Tang king as compensation. ”

Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and before he could come back to his senses and speak, he heard Fang Zhenghua continue to say: "As for your side, the emperor once said that if it weren't for the cruelty and cruelty of the Persian emperor, the defenders of the Tang State would be vulnerable, and your strategy would definitely be successful." You have done your best, so there is no need to be harsh, and I will not need to mention the impeachment of the vassal king, and this matter will be over. ”

Hearing this, Racine thought for a while, and then understood the meaning of these words, and felt that the Ming Emperor loved himself for the fists of his generals, and couldn't help but secretly praise, and rejoiced in his heart, it seems that he really picked the right emperor!

And Li Dingguo listened, of course, he could feel what even Racine could feel, remembering that the emperor had always been kind to him, and now he did not hesitate to use the imperial court to compensate Tang Guo for him, his eyes suddenly turned red.

He was born as a thief, how can he make the emperor so important!

Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen had always looked at him differently was because of his affairs in another plane.

Seeing Li Dingguo like this, it was already expected by Fangzhenghua.

So, Fang Zhenghua stepped forward, held Li Dingguo's rough big hand with one hand, and said emotionally: "Our family has never resisted or disobeyed. But this time, we thought that these things should be known to you. If you feel guilty in your heart, in the next battle to destroy the country, be more attentive, capture more cities, make up for the territories given by the emperor to the Tang Kingdom, and repay the emperor's kindness! ”

Li Dingguo believed his words 100 percent. Because he knew that there was no need for the emperor to let Fang Zhenghua say this to show mercy to himself. When there are things, the emperor will say them in person, and they belong to the kind that has one thing to say.

And he was brave and faithful, and had no other thoughts. The emperor also knows. There is no need to collect your heart in this way.

It can be seen from this that this matter is what Fangzheng himself advocates. is to let yourself know how much the emperor values and protects himself.

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo's eyes turned even redder, and he immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Father-in-law Fang, don't worry, the last general's life has long been the emperor's." ”

Seeing him like this, Fang Zhenghua nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, our family is also willing to be punished by the emperor!" ”

Racine on the side couldn't help but be very envious when he saw this, and at the same time, he also secretly made up his mind that he must fully integrate into the circle of Daming!

He still knows this. He was a Cossack, and before the expedition of the Ming army to Mingweiburg, there was no direct connection at all. Even if he is now the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, for these native-born Ming people, he is always inferior. Although no one said this, Racine knew it in his own heart.

In the past, it was by leading the clansmen to the side of the Ming army. Although there are also several military exploits of war victories. However, he also understands that the gold content of his military exploits is far from being comparable to Gang Zhenbo, or the Li Dingguo in front of him. Only in the next war, do you really make real military achievements, so as to win the recognition of the Ming Emperor and other generals and officials!

With this decision in mind, when Racine followed Fang Zhenghua again, his steps were a little more solid.

Later, Li Dingguo and Racine did not mention what Fang Zhenghua said just now, but they only asked for guilt and told them all about their war experience.

Although they didn't say it, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew it clearly through the Grade A eavesdropping seeds on the three of them. He did not say anything, he brushed aside Li Dingguo's plea, praised him for turning over rivers and seas in Persia, and did not hesitate to praise Racine for completing the ambush mission. As for the specific military exploits, of course, it is impossible to explain it in just a few words, and it has its own set of processes.

When Racine and Li Dingguodian resigned to rest, Fang Zhenghua knelt on the ground and took the initiative to admit that he had disobeyed the order just now and asked the emperor to punish him.

Because he knows that the most taboo thing for being an emperor is for his courtiers to hide from the emperor. He is a eunuch, so he can't hide it from the emperor.

Not to mention, although he had good intentions, Emperor Chongzhen was still waiting for him to confess. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been brought in the future. In history, there are many things that are done for the good of others, but they often hurt people.

Although Emperor Chongzhen has the golden finger of the eavesdropping system, he is not afraid of others doing ghosts behind his back, but no matter what, he will not like it.

At this time, seeing that Fang Zhenghua confessed to himself, he let it go gently. After all, Founder's loyalty has been tested experimentally.

The next thing to do was to gather enough food for the army to march west and destroy the country.

Conquering Persia, in fact, even if you don't prepare so much food, it's nothing, and Emperor Chongzhen is absolutely sure of this.

However, after conquering Persia, it is necessary to govern Persia and become the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, so it is necessary to consider the post-war affairs. Those people will eventually become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be able to recognize the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the most important problem is the problem of eating, and if this problem can be solved, the rest will be easy to do.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Emperor Chongzhen will not talk about the deployment of troops, but also focus on solving the problem of grain and grass.

Of course, this preparation of grain and grass is not only here in Delhi. In fact, the consumption of grain and grass transported by land is too large, and it is very uneconomical. The main point of grain transportation is still on the southern sea, by sea.

Therefore, among the three major feudal states, those who could transport grain to the sea were transported to the sea. In addition to this, Yan Yingyuan also collected grain in Ceylon.

On the side of Ceylon, after several years of recuperation, the products have been abundant. Therefore, a lot of grain and grass are shipped to Mumbai. At least in the short term, yes.

However, on this day, Yan Yingyuan did not patrol the island, but was in the original Colombo, which has now been renamed Zhennan City, and looked at the direction of the sea from time to time.

Seriously, he's been busy and can't leave, otherwise, he would have run back to take a look.

Before, the imperial court's palace report finally reached Zhennan City. After Yan Yingyuan saw it, he was taken aback, he didn't expect it to be so powerful!

This time, since I passed through Ceylon, I must see it with my own eyes.

Yan Yingyuan was thinking about it when suddenly a lieutenant came to report: "Lord Governor, here, here......"

Between the words, there is also excitement and curiosity.
