As soon as Liu Renyu said this, the officials of Honglu Temple, the ministers, and the emperor himself were all inexplicably surprised.

Is this what a foreign minister said!?

Liu Renyu didn't care about the reaction of everyone on the field, he continued to cry hundreds of thousands of lines, and choked up and said: "Your Majesty, you have lost weight, even your sideburns have been added with silver threads, you are still so young, just work hard, all of your subordinates are ineffective, and you have not shared the worries of your father, and the ministers are guilty." ”

When he said this, he simply knelt on the ground, "Bang, bang, bang, bang", and kowtowed again and again.

The emperor's eldest companion, Wang Chengen, saw Liu Renyu's superb acting skills, and couldn't help but secretly praise: "It's really not easy for a military minister to know so well." ”

The officials of Honglu Temple thought: "This guy doesn't know anything, and he is not the emperor's closest relative, so he dares to roar in front of the monarch and take the opportunity to invite pets, which is really rude." ”

And Chongzhen heard Liu Renyu's sentence 'Your Majesty, you have lost weight', and for some reason he was very touched in his heart, and now when he sees Liu Renyu like this, he is even more moved.

"Aiqing, you don't have to be like this, please hurry up." Chongzhen, who was moved, said gently.

"Yes, Your Majesty." When Liu Renyu heard this, he stood up from the ground, and while wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, he pleaded guilty: "The humble minister has no form in front of the emperor, please forgive the emperor." ”

"Aiqing cares about me, what is the crime? Also, the state affairs are complicated, each should be responsible for the yamen, if the matter is not done, I will find trouble for the yamen, Aiqing, you are a war, I heard that you have won a lot of battles, and you have just killed more than 400 northern captives recently, as a military general, what are you guilty of? You see that you are going to Liaodong now, ordinary border generals regard Liaodong as a fearful path, Aiqing is not afraid, and invites himself to Liaodong, so loyal to the country, I am very relieved. Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Jiannu is hateful, I went to Beijing to disturb the Holy Driver the previous time, and I am angry with them, but I will go to their hometown to teach them a hateful lesson, and let them know that I have someone in China!" Liu Renyu said with a resolute face.

Anyway, what is the best thing for this emperor, face; What is the most important, friendship.

Liu Renyu said that the emperor had lost weight and cried very sadly, Chongzhen was also a lover, and felt that Liu Renyu was very reliable, and now he was taking out the Jurchen entry into the Kou file and saying that he wanted to save face for the monarch's father.

Friendship and face have been mentioned, so Chongzhen happily encouraged Liu Renyu and said: "Aiqing is going to Liaodong, be honest and do more military achievements, and I will naturally be rewarded generously." ”

"The ministers should do their best to kill more slaves." Liu Renyu in view of the fact that Chongzhen must be compared, he doesn't like empty words, and he doesn't dare to say too much, so he can only say a word.

"Aiqing is going to Liaodong, after the victory returns, he still needs to return to Shaanxi quickly, and all the thieves who were appeased by Yang He before him rebelled, and Aiqing also needs to work together with people from all walks of life in the northwest to work together to suppress the thieves." Chongzhen Road.

Shaanxi thieves are reversed!?

Liu Renyu looked back and thought about it, and found that this time was a little different from history, the thief's rebellion in history was in July, but in view of his arrival, history must have been fine-tuned, so he didn't care too much, after all, Jingbian Fort and Zhenbei Fort have large armies, Liu Renjie is quite steady, holding the city, it is not a big problem, as for going back with 3000 troops to suppress the thieves.......

Liu Renyu said confidently: "When the minister returns to Shaanxi, he will do his best to exterminate the thieves and return Shaanxi to a prosperous future." ”

"So very good, Aiqing is about to go to Liaodong, I have the heart to consol, but at the moment the court is in some difficulty, I can only allocate 3,000 taels to Aiqing's labor army, Aiqing is not too little." Chongzhen said with a look of confusion.

"The ministers have thanked the emperor for their favor, but the emperor, please let the ministers tell me that the ministers have raised their own salaries, and the current salaries are sufficient, and the emperor is asked to keep this money for emergencies." Liu Renyu excused himself.

Chongzhen saw that Liu Renyu resolutely refused, not as if he was a fake, and his heart became more and more happy. You must know that this emperor belongs to the kind of typical representative who wants the horses to run and does not give the horses grazing, and now he is very happy to see that his subordinates not only know how to fight, but also do not want military salaries.

However, he asked: "When King Qin was in the past, there were many people in the border army who were short of pay and the army was defeated, but Aiqing was really paid?" Not afraid of the rout? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are in Jingbian Fort, using the method of Taixi to build carriages, glass mirrors, and sell soap, and the gains are quite large, enough to pay for military salaries."

Liu Renyu said this, in fact, there is already a suspicion of raising private soldiers, but now that the imperial court's finances are collapsing, there is really no money to pay military salaries, so the emperor can only turn a blind eye, after all, there is no money to raise soldiers, and don't let people think of a way to do it themselves?

Yi Chongzhen didn't care about this matter, but he said with great interest: "It turns out that the glass mirror and soap that Liu Chaoqing brought back to the queen are from your Jingbian Fort, and they are good things. ”

"Your Majesty, has the queen also used the things produced in Beichen Castle?" Liu Renyu couldn't believe it.

"Yes, these two things are really useful, but it's a pity that they are missing." Chongzhen smiled.

Liu Renyu immediately understood, and he immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since you think that the things produced in Beichen Fort are acceptable, Beichen will return to Shaanxi and send more to the palace in front of people to honor the emperor." ”

"It's so good, Aiqing, you can not only fight, but also generate money and food, good ability." Chongzhen praised casually.

When Liu Renyu heard this, he also said that the emperor had something else to say, so he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The capital crime of the subordinate minister, that is, the power of the army, and the military quartermaster, seeing that he was suspicious of His Majesty, the minister asked to be relieved and returned to the field, and from then on he did not ask about military affairs." ”

"Heh, where is this, Aiqing, please get up quickly."

Chongzhen watched Liu Renyu's performance, and couldn't help but be a little funny, a small guerrilla in the border area, with only a few thousand soldiers in his hands, could give birth to many things, but he suddenly felt that Liu Renyu was so cautious, and he could be relieved to use it in the future.

When Liu Renyu stood up, Chongzhen comforted the subordinate and said: "The government has no money for the time being, and the soldiers of the border army always have to eat and support their families. ”

"It is the duty of a minister to do things for the monarch's father. As long as the monarch's father can be happy every day, the minister will have no regrets even if he dies on the battlefield. Liu Renyu said again undisciplinedly.

"I don't want Aiqing to die on the battlefield, you have to live a good life and guard the frontier for me." Chongzhen smiled and replied.

"I am willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain, and I will not give up." Liu Renyu said solemnly.

"Well, Aiqing sent me a mirror and soap, and I am rude, I will invite Aiqing to have a meal today, Wang Chengen ......." Chongzhen is about to arrange a banquet.

Don't be wary of Liu Renyu's sudden words: "The Beichen is guilty of a capital crime, Your Majesty is graceful, the military situation is like fire, the Beichen hopes to be able to rush to Liaodong to fight sooner, so the Beichen will not eat, and wait for the Beichen to cut off the head of Jiannu, and then ask the emperor to give the minister wine and food." ”

Chongzhen listened to Liu Renyu's words, but he was not annoyed by the interruption of his words, he smiled slightly and said: "Aiqing is happy when he hears the war, and I am very relieved, since the military situation is like fire, then I will wait for Aiqing to come back from Liaodong and eat this wine and dinner." ”

"The humble minister thanked the emperor for his grace, but before the humble minister left, he hoped that the emperor could give the humble minister something." Liu Renyu said.

"What's that?" Chongzhen saw that Liu Renyu didn't want any military salary, but he still wanted one thing, so he couldn't help but be very curious about this thing.

"Beichen brought some chariots, and needed to set up cannons, so that in the field battle, to resist the impact of the Jiannu cavalry, and asked His Majesty to give Beichen Franc 64 places, as well as gunpowder projectiles." Liu Renyufu knelt down again and pleaded.

"Why is this difficult, Wang Chengen." Chongzhen called.

"The old slave is here." Wang Chengen, who had been standing beside him, responded.

"I ordered the cabinet to immediately allocate 64 francs and gunpowder projectiles to Liu Aiqing, and this matter should be handled immediately, and there must be no mistakes." Chongzhen ordered.

"The old slave commands."

After Wang Chengen received the order, he said to Liu Renyu: "General Liu, let's go with me to get the paperwork." ”

"Hey, okay." Liu Renyu first agreed, and then bowed to Chongzhen four times, and said in a downward voice: "The humble minister retreats." ”

"Well, I wish Aiqing a victory." Chongzhen smiled.

"Your Majesty." As Liu Renyu spoke, he bowed down and walked backwards towards the outside of the main hall.

When he left the main hall, he walked straight to the cabinet room with Wang Chengen.

"The last general has thanked his father-in-law, if it weren't for his father-in-law, how could the last general see the emperor." When walking on the road, Liu Renyu did not forget to thank Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen smiled and replied: "You also have some names left and right, let's order a few words in front of Long Live Lord, and this matter will be done." Speaking of which, I am really very happy to see you today, and you will come to report the good news to the Lord when you are free, so that the Lord will be very happy. ”

"Then I have to bother my father-in-law to introduce me." Liu Renyu smiled.

"It's okay, your Angelo comes to the palace, our family will naturally introduce you, you, you must win the battle when you go to Liaodong this time, and come back so that the Lord of Long Live will continue to be happy." Wang Chengen reminded.

"Father-in-law just rest assured, since the last general joined the army, he has not tasted a defeat, even if he can't win a big victory in this expedition, he will have a small victory." Liu Renyu said firmly.

"That's very good." Wang Chengen smiled indifferently.

"Father-in-law, speaking of which, there is something to ask your father-in-law to take care of." Liu Renyu said.

"What's the matter, General Liu just has to say." Wang Chengen replied.

"The general who is impermanent in the world, if the last general misses and loses the battle, when the emperor wants to ask the last general, he also asks his father-in-law to say a few words for the last general, and the last general will always be filial to his father-in-law." Liu Renyu pleaded.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's not easy to be an errand for Long Live Lord, if General Liu really has something, our family should excuse General Liu. By the way, General Liu, Liu Chaoqing went to Shaanxi to get a carriage from you a while ago, but I think that carriage is still a little interesting. Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"The last general will send someone back to send a carriage to his father-in-law, and in addition, the last general will also give 4 additional horses." Liu Renyu said flatteringly.

"Okay, General Liu, our family has written down your business. But if you go to Liaodong this time, you can't miss it. Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"When I go to Liaodong, most of them are just defending the city, so there will be no big victory, and there will be no defeat. My father-in-law just has to be relieved. Liu Renyu assured.

"That's very good, let's go to the cabinet to write paperwork." Wang Chengen nodded, stopped talking, and went straight to the cabinet with Liu Renyu.

It is said that the two walked for about 30 minutes before they walked to the cabinet, where Wang Chengen asked Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, to write a document, and then went to the celebrant to use the treasure.

Subsequently, Liu Renyu said goodbye to Wang Chengen, carried the documents of the cabinet department, went out of the palace, and went to the Ministry of Industry to ask for cannons together with Sun Wuzhi and others.
