Chapter 274: Night Discussion
Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "Get up! Stand still! ”
When Wang Zongguang heard this, he stood up with a spirit all over his body, and returned to the way he raised his head just now.
Emperor Chongzhen saw Wang Zongguang standing up, his face softened a little, and said: "If you fight bloodily for the Ming Dynasty, I will naturally not lose you."
I will be the master of this matter, the Wang family should be the family property, and after the seizure, I will give you half of it as compensation, and in addition, I will give you half a month to take care of your wife's funeral, how about it? ”
When Wang Zongguang heard this, he looked at his eldest brother who had been kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to speak out again, and said hatefully: "Your Majesty, this is the time to employ people, although the humble position is not talented, but also has the heart to serve the country. Therefore, the humble post intends to hand over the affairs of the clumsy Jing to his uncle, and ask His Majesty for permission. ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "It's okay, the Beijing camp plus the new army of 200,000, can't it protect my safety?" Take care of your wife's afterlife with peace of mind.
I think that it is the right thing for a man to protect his wife and children, not to mention that this matter was not your wife's original intention, and she has committed suicide to make a name for herself. ”
When Wang Zongguang heard this, his emotions that had just eased a little became excited again, but what Emperor Chongzhen said was not wrong, this matter was not his wife's fault inside and out, and naturally she should be allowed to have a good future.
After Wang Zongguang hugged his fists, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Go back to the palace, Qing and others will come together." Summoned the British Duke Zhang Weixian into the palace. ”
After Emperor Chongzhen left, the people in the lobby of Shuntianfu breathed a sigh of relief.
The officials stared at each other for a long time before they unanimously looked at the team leader who was preparing to stand on duty: "Yes, our Lord Yin has already sent a message, but what about us?" ”
The head of the team sneered and said: "Lord Fu Yin has made a decision, but there is also Lord Fu Cheng, Lord Zhizhong, and Lord Tongju, we are just some small minions, which kind of heart do we bear." ”
After a pause, the team leader continued: "Lao Tzu knows what you are thinking, so when you go back, keep your mouth shut, blow less useless, and be careful of causing trouble to your wives and children." ”
Everyone felt a pang in their hearts, and they also thought of the seriousness of this matter, and they all gave it up at the moment, and went back to brag and brag carefully.
The emperor's trial of security, he personally experienced it on the side, and it also involved the civil and military disputes, if it is not good, it is a big mess, and he can blow it for a lifetime!
Just as everyone was about to disperse, a captain of the brocade guard came in from the gate and said coldly: "Today's things are all rotten in the stomach." Otherwise......"
After speaking, he ignored the reaction of the crowd, turned around and went out.
The weight of the Jinyi Guard's speech was countless times greater than that of the squad leader's speech, and except for Wang Zongguang, the rest of the people present wiped a cold sweat and secretly said that they were lucky.
If there was no sentence from the head of the team, he and the others might have already discussed it at this time, and when the captain of the brocade guard came in, he happened to hear it, and the consequences were really unimaginable.
What the officials thought in their hearts, Wang Zongguang didn't know, and he didn't bother to think about it.
Picking up the eldest brother whose legs were a little weak, Wang Zongguang said: "Big brother, let's go home first and discuss Xiaolian's future." ”
When he got out of the lobby of Shuntianfu, looking at the uncles, brothers and aunts who came to help him, Wang Zongguang first bowed and gave a salute, and then said: "I'm tired of the big guy, now that the matter has been resolved, the Wang family will also be punished, and after Xiaolian's aftermath is half-finished, I will go back to the guard, and then let the eldest brother invite the big guy to eat wine and thank you." ”
Seeing that everyone said no, Wang Zongguang continued: "It's just that today's matter is very wide-ranging, don't talk about it after the big guys go back, Zongguang has thanked everyone here in advance." ”
After speaking, Wang Zongguang bowed again.
When I returned to Wangjiazhuang, it was completely dark at this time.
When he returned home, looking at the empty home, and no longer seeing his wife who was happy to give him good wine and food when he came back in the past, Wang Zongguang was also sad.
After sitting down in turn, Wang Zongguang said directly: "Uncles and brothers, aunts, and eldest brothers, it stands to reason that Xiaolian's matter has been brought back to justice, and the kid should also bury her beautifully."
But things are not up to anyone, you also know that the kid is on an errand in the guard, so the kid means that everything is simple, and things can't be missing, but there is no need to stop the mortuary for seven days, and the boy may not be able to come back and burn. ”
As soon as Wang Zongguang's words fell, he had just rushed over at this time, and according to his seniority, Wang Zongguang was about to shout Uncle Tai's clan elders happened to hear it when they entered the house, picked up their crutches and pulled towards Wang Zongguang.
Wang Zongguang himself was also ashamed, and he didn't dodge or dodge a hard stick before he arched his hand and said: "It's troublesome Uncle Tai, Uncle Tai is angry." ”
Uncle Tai, who had a goatee, was distressed about why this stupid boy who had been hurting since he was a child didn't dodge, but he was angry in his heart, and he cocked his goatee and said, "You still have the face to call me Uncle Tai?" I can't afford it! ”
Seeing that Wang Zongguang was trying to compensate himself, the anger in his uncle's heart also dispersed a little, but he continued: "Let me ask you, after Xiaolian, this child enters the door, serves her in-laws, and when your father and mother go, send them to the north and south pits, has the etiquette ever been missing?" ”
Wang Zongguang's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up: "When my father and mother were here, Xiaolian stayed in the morning and dusk every day, took care of her in-laws, and never lacked more than half of the courtesies. ”
Uncle Tai hummed angrily, and then said: "Then let me ask you again, I didn't say it when you were at home earlier, since you went to the guard house on an errand, Xiaolian guards the door every day, have you ever lost a little bit of people to our Wang family?" ”
Wang Zongguang said in a deep voice: "No." ”
Uncle Tai Guang slashed his cane again, and said angrily: "Then you want everything to be simple? If that's the case, can you just bury Xiaolian in the pit? ”
After scolding Wang Zongguang, Uncle Tai arched his hand to Wang Liu's eldest brother, that is, Liu Dalang, who carried Wang Liu's to sue before: "Let you see the joke, but don't worry, as long as this little animal still recognizes me as an uncle, we can't let Xiaolian, the child, be wronged!" ”
It turned out that Uncle Tai heard Wang Zongguang's words as soon as he entered the door, and then looked at Liu Dalang's face was as gloomy as water, so he was worried that the Liu family was dissatisfied.
This kind of thing is in that era when the dead are the greatest, not to mention that everything is simple, even if there is a little lack at the funeral, this is a major event that will add another life.
My own daughter married into your family, and now that the person is dead, even if it is not a grand funeral, do you want to bury it simply?
There is no such reason!
The consequence is a little lighter, that is, the two families have become enemies since then, and they will not get along with each other for old age and death.
And once there is such a thing as a fight between the two clans, after each of them can't contain the fire, it becomes a very common thing to kill people.
Therefore, Uncle Tai scolded Wang Zongguang on the one hand, and apologized to the Liu family on the other hand, which was actually a sign of love for Wang Zongguang.
It's just that the next performance of the Liu family was completely unexpected by Uncle Tai, and after bowing down and giving a salute, he continued: "Uncle Tai, I Liu Da and Zong Guang are brothers, so I also call you Uncle Tai." Although we haven't seen each other before, I heard Brother Zongguang mention you and say that you are a good elder who is sensible. ”
After Uncle Tai humbly responded, Liu Dalang continued to say: "Actually, Xiaolian's future affairs, I also mean the same as the Zongguang brothers, everything is simple. The Zongguang brothers couldn't keep the five sevens, so they took three days and seven days.
Tonight, I asked the aunts and aunts to help clean Xiaolian's body, and then I will prepare for the funeral tomorrow, and I will mourn directly the day after tomorrow.
Then wait until three days later, the Zongguang brothers will take three days as five or seven, and burn some paper money for Xiaolian. ”
Well, even if everything is simple, can it be simplified like this? Uncle Tai felt that he had never encountered such a thing in his life for decades.
Liu Dalang saw that Uncle Tai was anxious to explain, and knew that his old man was worried that he was talking the opposite, so he immediately gave up his hand again: "Uncle Tai, don't worry, my Liu family will never blame Brother Zongguang for this matter, and it will still be a family in the future." ”
Uncle Tai hurriedly said: "How can this be done?" Such a faux pas, isn't it a joke for outsiders? ”
Although Liu Da is honest, he is not a fool.
Because of his sister-in-law's matter, how big the turmoil is about to start, no matter how lacking he is, he can imagine it, and which woman from a common family in this world has such treatment?
No matter how big the funeral is, no matter how beautiful the funeral, can it be compared to the girl in your own family?
Liu Da arched his hand and said: "Uncle Tai, there are a lot of things here, and it is not convenient for the kid to explain to you, but what the kid said is sincere, and there is no half-truth, Liu Da is also willing to vouch for the head, and the Liu family will not have a little opinion because of this." ”
Uncle Tai sighed and said, "Hey, I just wronged Xiaolian's child." ”
After sighing, Uncle Tai shouted at Wang Zongguang: "Bastard, I haven't thanked your eldest brother!" ”
Wang Zongguang simply knelt on the ground towards the Liu family's eldest man, and arched his hand: "Big brother, the younger brother is to blame for everything, it is the younger brother who did not take good care of Xiaolian."
The eldest brother can rest assured, the younger brother will definitely be motivated in the future, if he gets ahead one day, he will never lose Xiaolian, she will always be the wife of the younger brother, and the younger brother will never remarry again in this life. ”
The eldest man of the Liu family hurriedly helped Wang Zongguang up and scolded: "This is bastard!" Xiaolian went, but she didn't want you to be like this.
You still have to marry a wife in the future, as long as you still remember Xiaolian, you will have a child in her name in the future. ”
Wang Zongguang and his entourage immediately discussed the funeral of Wang Liu's family, and planned to prepare for the funeral the next day.
If it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen's words today, and without such a big mess, Wang Zongguang felt that he should have guarded enough for his wife no matter what, and then returned to the guard house.
It's just that now, Wang Zongguang's face is full of a poem he heard from the teacher in the barracks: "Repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king." ”
What Wang Zongguang thought in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know.
But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen was in the palace, and he also had a headache in front of him who were his confidants.
Among the Wenchen, there are Wen Tishi and Shi Fenglai, Ni Yuanlu, plus a group of eunuchs.
The number of military generals and nobles who died was pitiful.
British Duke Zhang Weixian and his son, Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen, Dingbei Marquis Liu Xingzuo, plus Mongolian Wanqi Wanhu Battle.
Wei Zhongxian, Xu Xianchun, and Cao Huachun among the factory guards.
That's all there is to it.
But on the other side is a civil service system all over the world.
But Emperor Chongzhen has a headache, but his confidence is very strong.
After he ascended the throne, he first scolded Jiannu under the capital, and then announced to the world that he had made countless great achievements in Jingguan when he conquered the grassland in the north, plus there were new troops and Beijing camps, as well as Mongolian horses in hand, the world's guards could not be chaotic.
What's more, there was an edict of never giving the throne in front of him, and a few days ago, he bought a wave of Yixin in the name of the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, so the probability of civil chaos is actually not great.
The only concern is whether these civil service systems will be completely shut down.
And what kind of reaction the gentry and landlords behind those Wenchen will make, Emperor Chongzhen is not clear at present.
This is the biggest headache for Emperor Chongzhen.
But it doesn't matter, no matter how bad your situation is now, can it be worse than the situation when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country?
Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and a cattle herder could chase north to the north, which could be said to be a pseudo-yuan with most of the world's territory at that time.
He has a righteous name in his hands, and he has a great military exploit to dominate the world, whoever dares to jump, let him die, it's a big deal to plant a few more trees on the coal mountain to hang people!
After making up his mind, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Has my will ever been prepared? ”
Wang Chengen bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the will has been prepared, and it can be read out in the court tomorrow." ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and then said to Xu Xianchun: "How did the civil and military ministers in Beijing react? ”
Xu Xianchun bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since the city gate was blocked at sunset, the civil and military officials in the capital have been visiting each other. Among them, they discussed why they should close the city gates, and they still don't know what happened today. ”
After Emperor Chongzhen pondered, he then said to the British Duke Zhang Weixian and the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen: "I intend to rebuild the capital of the five armies, and in the future, all military affairs will be decided by the capital of the five armies, and will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War." ”
Zhang Weixian and Zhu Chunchen bowed down, but Cui Chengxiu was in a hurry.
The military department doesn't care about the soldiers, so what is the book of the military department?
Emperor Chongzhen saw Cui Chengxiu's eyes rolling wildly, and said with a smile: "I simply made it clear, whether the battle should be fought or not, and to what extent, I and the cabinet have the final say."
However, once the order to fight the war was issued by the cabinet, it was up to the Protectorate of the Five Armies to decide how to fight the war. As for the Ministry of War, after that, it will only be responsible for recruiting troops, and the merits will be reviewed and approved. ”
