In terms of generation, Zhu Youshu, the king of Shandong, is still Chongzhen's elder brother, and Song Youliang is the son-in-law of King De, so Song Youliang and Emperor Chongzhen are considered a family, so this banquet is called a family banquet.

Present at this family banquet were Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Concubine Tian, Concubine Yuan, King De, Prince De, Lord Wanling, and Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, who were waiting on the side.

As soon as the minister thought of His Majesty's high hopes and the comfort of the Ming Frontier, his blood suddenly boiled. Chen Gao shouted to all the soldiers: For the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor~~~" Song Youliang painted his voice and color, adding fuel and vinegar to tell his battle story in Liaodong.

Emperor Chongzhen has always been accustomed to reading Tang Bao, and it is the first time to listen to such a detailed story, and it is also novel and enjoyable. In addition, Song Youliang's clever tongue is like a spring, and Chongzhen's expression changes with the ups and downs of the plot, as if he is in the scene.

Song Youliang only said that the soldiers were killing out of righteous indignation, and he failed to stop it in time, so he got up and pleaded guilty to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen smiled: "What are you guilty of?" Like the Jiannu who tortured and killed my Ming people, how could he be merciful? This is the so-called karma unpleasant. ”

Song Youliang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Xie Chongzhen, and the moment he sat down, the corner of his eye suddenly saw his wife Wanling County Lord suddenly looking at him with very strange eyes.

Chongzhen raised his wine glass, faced King De, and said, "Brother Wang, you have chosen a good son-in-law for Daming." ”

Song Youliang won a great victory in Liaodong, and King De, as his father-in-law, naturally had a bright face, but as a vassal king, he felt that "Ya Pear" was so big. His son-in-law holds the military power, and he is a vassal king, so he can usurp the throne in a certain dynasty by colluding with internal and external forces. This is also the reason why Chongzhen not only reused Song Youliang, but also took Song Youliang's parents and Dewang's family to Beijing. The greater the achievement of one's son-in-law, the greater the danger to oneself in a way. The emperor became more wary of himself.

King De hurriedly took out his signature smirk, raised his glass and said: "How can I choose, it was Wan Ting's mistake, mistake." Tell me that it is better to honestly stay in the county horse mansion and have a few more children, and give birth to a few more grandchildren for me, the old Taishan, and then be like a kitten and a puppy at my feet, how interesting is that? Hahaha"

King De's nondescript analogy provoked laughter, and Zhu Huanting was even more ashamed and her face was flushed.

Zhou Hou also raised his sleeves, covered his mouth, and said to Chongzhen with a smile: "It's all Your Majesty's bad, a young couple, less than three months after they got married, they took Huanting to live in the palace." Although the concubine misses it, it can't let the family work for a long time! ”

Chongzhen also laughed and said, "Yes, I didn't think it through. That's it, Wang Chengen~"

"The old slave is here~" Wang Chengen responded with a smile on the side

"Choose a house for Brother Wang in the city and let Brother Wang's family move in, so that it will be easier for Song Aiqing to see his wife in the future." Chongzhen said with a smile

The crowd laughed again

At this time, a little eunuch came to report, saying that Princess Changping heard that the Song Junmen who built the slave and pseudo-capital was here, and she must come to see her

Chongzhen smiled: "Changping, this girl is really getting more and more unruly. ”

Zhou Hou also smiled: "It's not Your Majesty, you're usually arrogant!" ”

Not to be outdone, Chongzhen replied with a smile: "I am usually busy with state affairs and neglect discipline, so of course this harem matter is the queen's responsibility." ”

Zhou Hou laughed even more and said, "Then the concubine will ask Your Majesty for guilt, it's okay, right?" ”

Chongzhen, Concubine Tian, and Concubine Yuan also laughed

After a while, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little Lori came from outside the hall dressed in a gorgeous uniform. Although she was only fourteen years old, she was well developed. Song Youliang, who is not a Lolita, couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Who knew that Changping's gaze was directly cast at Song Youliang, first curious, then disdainful. "My daughter has seen her father and mother~" said in a long parallel salute

"Hmm~ Huang'er, this is what you want to see, the big hero who swept through Liaodong Jiannu - in terms of seniority, Song Youliang, who is also your brother-in-law." Chongzhen smiled and pointed at Song Youliang

"My daughter saw it just now." Changping Feng raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I thought it was a three-headed and six-armed immortal, but it was just such an ordinary martial artist." Changping pouted

"The three-headed and six-armed one is Nezha~" Song Youliang was angry and funny, and couldn't help but say

Emperor Chongzhen also shook his head with a helpless smile, and Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan were already laughing out loud

After another toast and a glass change, the family banquet ended, and Song Youliang accompanied his wife Zhu Huanting back to her residence in the palace.

As soon as she entered the room, Zhu Huanting broke away from all her subordinates, and with a charming smile, Yingying walked towards Song Youliang, and took off the Luo skirt on her body as she walked. At this time, Zhu Huanting had a little more of the charm of a young woman, and she was not better than the newlywed, Song Youliang couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhu Huanting's hand twisted around Song Youliang's neck like a water snake, and said softly: "I heard that you slept on the side of the harem concubines in Jiannu's pseudo-capital?" Is there such a thing? ”

Song Youliang was stunned for a moment, quickly shook his head and smiled: "Nonsense, what's the matter." After that, he smiled lewdly and opened his salty pig hand to touch Zhu Huanting's chest

Zhu Huanting let him knead it, and continued: "I heard that you are in North Korea, and the king of North Korea sends a beautiful maid to sleep with you every night? Isn't it? ”

"Huh?" Song Youliang felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly said, "Who is this nonsense?" The county lord is not around, I have always been as guarded as jade and clean as myself. ”

Zhu Huanting gently held up Song Youliang's chin with her fingers, and said with a wicked smile: "Whether it's true or not, the county lord will know it when he checks it~~"

Song Youliang panicked, could it be that in ancient times, there was a way to test whether a man was stealing food outside? If so, it's impossible not to know?

At this time, Zhu Huanting was actually depressed for a long time, and with a push of both palms, she pushed Song Youliang to the bed, "You said that you have been guarding yourself like jade, then give me at least five times tonight, if it is one less ~~~ hum~~" A cold light flashed in Zhu Huanting's eyes, and Song Youliang couldn't help but shudder

"What a shrewd woman~~" Song Youliang tried his best to show his might, and launched one impact after another towards the name of "Five Jiro in One Night".

As a result, through Song Youliang's efforts throughout the night, he finally temporarily dispelled the suspicion of the county lord, but when he went to see Chongzhen the next morning, he had to wear dark circles and big bags under his eyes.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention, Wang Chengen saw Song Youliang's appearance, and knew what was going on, so he secretly ordered someone to send some imperial tonic to Song Youliang

Chongzhen was very annoyed when he saw that Song Youliang sent the eight major profiteers in Zhangjiakou secretly communicated with Mongolia and Jiannu and sent a large amount of grain and military intelligence out of the customs. I wanted to order Jinyiwei to take people directly, but Wang Chengen persuaded on the side: These eight Jin merchants have strong financial resources, and there are many ministers in the court who have taken their benefits to speak for them

Chongzhen said angrily: "Then what should I do? Are they allowed to sell their kingdom for money like this? They sold Daming for a good price. Chongzhen was so angry that he smashed his fist on the dragon case

At this time, it happened that Song Youliang came in to ask for peace, and Wang Chengen said: "These things were all reported by Song Junmen, so does Song Junmen have a draft in his heart?" ”

Song Youliang listened to Wang Chengen's words, nodded in approval, and said: "They are businessmen, and the ministers think that they will use commercial means to defeat them." ”

"Oh? What does Aiqing mean to rule profiteers with profiteers? Chongzhen asked

Song Youliang smiled, "If those businessmen are traitors to the Ming Dynasty, how can they still be called profiteers?" ”

Chongzhen knew that he was speechless, and said with a smile: "Okay, if they can really get rid of this harm for the Ming Dynasty, I will personally send them a plaque of 'Business Model'." After that, Chongzhen took out a few more copies of the recital, and said: "This is a memora sent by Hong Chengchou, who participated in the impeachment of Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, feared the enemy like a tiger, and led the troops to retreat without permission, so that the hearts of the army were shaken, and the horses were galloping, trampling on each other, bows and armor were all over the field, and corpses were all over the ground. I think that stabbing the black sheep is not enough to boost the military law without killing. But Datong is an important town on the nine sides, who can succeed Wang Pu after killing him? ”

Wang Chengen said: "Deputy General Jiang Hao can succeed him, the Jiang family has been a general for generations, the eldest brother Jiang Rang is the general soldier of Yulin, Shaanxi, and the third brother Jiang Xuan is the deputy general soldier of Yanghe, Shanxi. ”

History, this Jiang Hao in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644) in March Li Zicheng Ke Taiyuan, surrendered Li Zicheng without resistance, Li Zicheng almost killed him because of this, blamed him: "The imperial court is a key town, if the first surrender?" Thanks to the persuasion of General Zhang Tianlin, he gave up. Later, the Dashun army was defeated by the Qing and Wu coalition forces, and withdrew to Shaanxi, and in May (June 1644) Jiang Jiu rebelled and killed Zhang Tianlin, the defender of the Dashun army, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and still guarded Datong. After that, he went to Shaanxi with the Qing army to conquer the Dashun peasant army. Not only did he not receive a heavy reward, but even the supply of military salaries became a problem, and he was also suspicious and reprimanded by the Qing court. At that time, the Shanxi peasant army was very strong against the Qing Dynasty, and Jiang Jiu was greatly touched. In September of the fifth year of Shunzhi, in order to prevent the Khalkha Mongols from crossing the border, the Qing court sent the British prince Azig to lead the army to garrison Datong, which aroused Jiang Jiu's suspicion and thought that he was attacking himself. As a result, Jiang Hao proclaimed himself a general and rebelled against Datong on the third day of December (1649). On the first day of the seventh month, Dolgon led his army to Datong. Datong was besieged by the Qing army for a long time, the city ran out of ammunition and food, the dead were sleeping, and there was a riot among the subordinates. On August 23, Jiang Zhenwei's general Yang Zhenwei beheaded Jiang Yang, his brother Jiang Lin and his younger brother Jiang Youguang, and surrendered the city. When Azig entered the city, he hated the soldiers and civilians in the city, and ordered the city to be slaughtered.

Song Youliang wanted to tell Chongzhen and Wang Chengen that this Jiang Jiu was unreliable, but Song Youliang thought about it, after Li Zicheng was knocked hard by himself in Thirty Miles, it should be impossible to enter Beijing again, and Jiang Jiu's surrender should not happen for a while. So, the proposal was acquiesced

"As for this Hong Chengchou~" Chongzhen hesitated, there are not many people who can be of great use now

Song Youliang hurriedly said: "If it weren't for General Zu Dashou Zu to defend Jinzhou, Hong Chengchou and Hong Jingluo sacrificed themselves to attract the main force of Jiannu, how could the minister make such a great contribution?" Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to reward all the rewards to General Zu and Hong Jinglue. ”

"Song Junmen made this great contribution at a young age, and he was humble and polite, which is really commendable." Wang Chengen said with a smile on the side

Song Youliang also thanked with a smile: "The prince has won the award." But he secretly said in his heart: My twenty egg-sized Dongzhu is not for you.

Chongzhen also nodded appreciatively, "Actually, I haven't really rewarded you yet." I remember two years ago, when Dengzhou Town was first established, you told me that there will be small achievements in three years and big achievements in five years. Now that he has made such a great contribution in less than three years, Wang Chengen, how do you think I should reward him? ”

Wang Chengen replied: "The old slave thinks that he should be rewarded no matter what. Song Junmen was originally a military household, and he has never had a resounding name since he left the country! ”

"Well, yes~" Chongzhen nodded, "Then I will canonize you as the general of Zhengbei, Pingbeibo, and hand over the military affairs of Dengzhou, Korea, and Liaodong to you." ”
