After the father and son met, Chen Yue saluted the generals at the head of the city, and his attitude was very modest, which made the generals dare not even shout. Although Chen Yue is only a seventh-grade soldier, his status is already too much higher than them.

After getting out of the city, he stepped on the war horse that had been prepared long ago and headed towards the inner city. The holy decree said very clearly, let him enter the city immediately to face the saint, and before he met Chongzhen, he couldn't even go home.

Today's Beijing is much more depressed than in the past, and there are many fewer vegetable farmers on Xuanwumen Street who set up stalls to sell things.

Of course, in this cold winter month, there are not many vegetables to sell, the city gate is closed, prices are soaring, many people can't even eat, and where can they afford to buy vegetables?

Aunt Zhang's bun shop has been sealed, the city gate has been closed for several months, presumably the business can't be sustained, I just don't know what their mother and daughter are living on now? However, with their father Chen Jianghe here, they shouldn't be hungry.

A sedan chair stood quietly at the corner of the street, the curtain of the sedan window opened a corner, a pair of wonderful eyes looked out through the gap, looking at Chen Yue and his party who slowly walked in, when they saw Chen Yue and Chen Ping on the horse next to him, the owner of the wonderful eyes trembled, and tears shook in his eyes.

"Since you're here, why don't you go down and talk to him?" In the sedan chair, Zhang Xiuer said to Wu Wan'er puzzled.

"He is now under the emperor's order, and he wants to enter the palace to see the driver, and he can't be delayed, so let's wait until he meets the saint, it's not a moment and a half." Wu Wan'er didn't dare to look back, for fear that Zhang Xiu'er would see the tears in the corners of her eyes, so she quietly wiped away the tears with her sleeve and said in a low voice.

Looking at Wu Wan'er in a brocade dress, and then looking at her cloth skirt, Zhang Xiu'er sighed secretly, who would have thought that fool would be so good today. Seven products are prepared for the road, Lu Xianggong is admitted to the lifting of people, I don't know how many years before he can become such a high-ranking official?

At this moment, Zhang Xiuer suddenly regretted a little, regretting that she shouldn't have treated Chen Yue like that in the first place. Maybe......

Chen Yue didn't know that Wu Wan'er was secretly watching him on the street, and rode slowly towards the imperial city, but his heart fluctuated.

It was only a small victory, killing a hundred and ten Manchurian Tartars, and being appointed as a senior official like the commander of a military division, which shows how much the Ming Dynasty needed a victory and how long it was since he had a victory! But Chen Yue himself knew that the reason why he was able to win was not how strong his subordinates were, but the luck of a specific form on a specific battlefield, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to win again.

However, since he was appointed as a soldier, this is a rare opportunity for himself, and he can quickly expand his strength by taking this opportunity, and if he can expand an elite team of thousands of people within a year, he will have the strength to protect himself in this troubled era. Counting on the fingers, it was only a little more than a year before the Dashun army attacked Beijing, and the situation was already extremely urgent.

Standing in front of Chengtian Gate, looking at the tall city tower, Chen Yue felt that something was missing, and after thinking for a while, he realized that a portrait was missing.

Under the guidance of a small eunuch, walk across the Jinshui Bridge and enter along the leftmost door opening, pass through the deep city gate hole, and enter the palace city through the noon gate.

Chen Yue visited the Forbidden City many times in his previous life, and was extremely familiar with the scenery inside, looking at the familiar palace pavilions, if it weren't for the bright armor of the Han generals standing on both sides, and the eunuch Gong E passing by, Chen Yue would have thought that he had returned to another time and space, and was visiting the Forbidden City.

Carved railings and painted columns, pavilions and jade yu, in the end are cheap barbarians!

With a complicated mood, he came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace, and the eunuch who led the way took him into a side hall, and a few brocade-clothed guards came over and began to search him. The short knife in the boots and the crossbow behind the waist were all put away and put aside, and several people thoroughly checked Chen Yue's body to make sure that there was no iron on him, and then left with his things, leaving him here alone.

I don't know how long I waited in the side hall, no one served the water tea, Chen Yue looked at the top of the hall in a daze, just when he was about to fall asleep on the back of the chair, a little eunuch walked in and told him that the emperor announced that he was in.

followed the little eunuch into the Qianqing Palace, and had already been warned not to look around, so he could only walk in with his head down.

When the little eunuch dodged and retreated to the side, Chen Yue knelt down and bowed three times.

"You are Chen Yue!" A slightly tired voice came, Chen Yue looked up slightly, and saw a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe looking at him with blazing eyes.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is exact!" Chen Yue replied respectfully.

"If you are not yet twenty years old, how can you defeat the Manchurian Tartars?" Looking at the young and handsome Chen Yue, Chongzhen couldn't help but ask.

Before meeting Chen Yue, in Chongzhen's impression, the person who could defeat the Mantar must be a strong man with a tiger's back and a full beard, but he didn't expect that the person kneeling in front of him was a young man who was not very strong and handsome.

"Weichen is capable, and he can defeat the Mantars by relying on my emperor's dragon power, and by the lives of the brothers!" Chen Yue didn't know how to answer Chongzhen's question, saying that he had the ability, he looked a little proud, saying that he didn't have the ability, but he really won the battle. can only use the way of patting the sycophants, but this sycophants are too blunt, so Chongzhen can't help but be happy.

"My dragon might? If there were, the Mantars would have been destroyed long ago! Chongzhen said funny, "You talk to me well, don't make these fools." ”

Wang Chengen, the great eunuch standing on the side, couldn't help but glance at Chen Yue more, over the years, there have been countless ministers who have played against each other in the prelude to the palace, and no one has ever been able to make Chongzhen happy. Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, he is sincerely afraid in front of the Son of Heaven, how dare he be so casual!

Originally, when Chongzhen was serious, the atmosphere in the entire hall was depressed and heavy, but with his smile, he suddenly relaxed a lot, and even Chen Yue was no longer nervous.

"Your Majesty, if Weichen wants to say that the reason why he was able to win the Manchurian Tartars was by luck, would you take away the soldiers who sealed me?" Chen Yue touched Chongzhen's temper a little, this is a man who lives in a depressed atmosphere all year round, and others and even himself are constantly creating pressure on him, making his life extremely boring. If he is serious and serious, he probably won't be able to attract his attention. Soldiers may be able to get more benefits by taking risks!

Listening to Chen Yue's words, Chongzhen was almost angry, he had been an emperor for so many years, and he had never seen such a reckless courtier.

"Say, if it makes sense to say it clearly, I'll keep this soldier for you, otherwise ......" Chongzhen snorted coldly.
