Chapter 200: Meeting the Emperor

The next day, Emperor Chongzhen met Wang Rui and Qin Liangyu in the Qianqing Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the little eunuch was introduced into the hall, Wang Rui followed the etiquette of the audience that Cao Huachun had said before, and together with Qin Liangyu, he lay on the ground with his hands, not daring to raise his head easily.

After a moment, a slightly tired gentle voice came: "Qin Qing Wang Qing, please get up quickly." ”

Wang Rui followed Qin Liangyu and stood up cautiously, respectfully waiting for the emperor to ask.

"Wang Qing asked for war in blood, took the initiative to serve the king, and made such a great achievement, I am very relieved. Yesterday, the Ministry of War reported that Wang Qing had obtained all the first level of Manyi, and this sincerity was very rare. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and spoke, and walked towards where the two of them were standing. Wang Chengen, who served on the side, followed cautiously.

Wang Ruilang replied: "The Holy Lord, thanks to the blessing of the Holy Lord, Lord Wen has made a strategic decision, and he can have this gain, and Weichen does not dare to claim merit." ”

Chongzhen approached, looked at Wang Rui with gentle eyes, and said, "Wen Qing's merits, I know it, and your merits are not small, so you don't have to be too humble." If it weren't for your courage and loyalty, how could you have this great victory. The report of the Ministry of War said that the Laizhou army had been in arrears for a long time, and the part was only repaid by the Jinan Governor Yamen before the king of Qinwang went north. ”

"Your Majesty! The last general didn't have any great skills, and these soldiers were all honest people in the countryside. From the day of recruitment, the last general invited the gentleman to teach them about loyalty and patriotism, so that everyone can know the righteousness. When it comes to the battle array, everyone can die generously, and with Lord Wen's clever strategy, Weichen can get away with some small achievements. As for the arrears, as the Holy Lord said, the headquarters has been in arrears for half a year. Fortunately, when the rebellion of the bandits was suppressed before, a small amount of dirty silver was seized, and after reporting to the governor of Shandong and Denglai Road, it was allowed to be used to reissue part of the silver. ”

Wang Rui carefully organized the language in his mind and replied respectfully.

Wen Tiren next to him listened to Wang Rui's three words and did not leave the credit of Lord Wen, and became more and more satisfied with Wang Rui in his heart. Zhou Yanru, who was standing next to Wen Tiren, also exchanged glances with Wen Tiren, and nodded slightly, indicating that the military general in front of him was very good and worthy of cultivation.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was also very satisfied with Wang Rui in his heart. For more than a month, the Manchu army was rampant in the land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty, burning, killing and looting, but it put great pressure on the young emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen felt as if he was a few years older all of a sudden, and he was not even interested in having a relationship with his most beloved Concubine Tian.

At present, there is finally a large army that has defeated the Manchu captives, solved the crisis in Beijing, and made Emperor Chongzhen's mood suddenly gloomy. When I saw Wang Rui today, and saw his heroic, loyal, and humble response, I was happy, and I laughed heartily.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, and Wang Chengen also laughed, and there were tears in his eyes: These days of being full of prisoners and entering the Kou, but they have suffered from the saint!

Wang Rui took the opportunity to raise his head and quickly glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, only to see that the emperor was not dressed as expensive as he imagined, but just the emperor's regular clothes.

Of course, it is not as described in the novel of the later generations, and there are patches on the corners and cuffs of the clothes. What! No matter how poor he is, he is also an emperor!

Emperor Chongzhen may have been a little pale because he rarely basked in the sun, and he had a beard on his chin that was not too long, which was quite a bit of the feeling of a tired teacher in later generations. Although there was a slight amount of gray hair on his sideburns, it was still clear that he was young.

Chongzhen looked at Wang Rui, who was also young, his expression was very cheerful, and he asked Wang Rui with a smile: "I heard Wen Qing and Wang Banban say a few days ago that the Laizhou army used Qi Shaobao's training methods in the past?" ”

After Wen Tiren heard this, he took a step forward and bowed down to report: "Shengshang, according to the old minister's inquiry with the soldiers of Laizhou yesterday, General Wang will practice every day, and he will fight with the soldiers, and personally lead them to chant the patriotic slogan of loyalty. ”

Wang Rui lowered his head and said modestly: "Back to the sage, the Laizhou army garrison is not far from Qi Shaobao's hometown, and the last general has heard of Shaobao's prestige many times before. Weichen read Qi Dashuai's book of soldiers, not only benefited from the subtlety of his art of war, but also admired his spirit of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country. Since the last general has learned the art of war, of course, he has to practice and study with the soldiers. ”

"Good!" Emperor Chongzhen slapped his palms excitedly and said loudly: "Wang Qing said it well! It seems that Wang Qing is the one who reads and understands. Unlike some people, although they are full of wealth, they do not have the slightest heart of loyalty to the world. Wang Qing has such loyalty and knowledge, and his ability is even more extraordinary, and in the future, he only needs to pay attention to state affairs, and he will definitely be Huo Yao Bi of me! (Note 1)

Wang Rui was humble again, so he put this matter to rest.

After learning about Wang Rui's Laizhou army, Emperor Chongzhen paid attention to Qin Liangyu who came together. Qin Liangyu is a general of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen has also heard of it for a long time.

However, today, because the light of Lord Wang Rui is too conspicuous, the famous Qin Liangyu is a bit like a "soy sauce"!

Xu is in a good mood today, and Qin Liangyu alone has achieved the credit of beheading five hundred and three captives, and Emperor Chongzhen is also very satisfied with the white pole soldiers.

He not only praised Qin Liangyu's long-distance journey and the merits of King Qin, but also encouraged Qin Liangyu and Wang Rui to make new contributions together.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen urged Wen Tiren and others to agree on the merits of Wang Rui and others as soon as possible, and said to himself that Wang Rui could at least hang the general's seal and be promoted to the general army of a town.

Of course, according to the court regulations of the Ming Dynasty, what the emperor said like this is not counted. The matter still needs to be agreed between the Ministry of War and the Cabinet. However, since the emperor has already expressed such an attitude, I think that others will not easily go against the holy will.

Emperor Chongzhen was indeed very concerned about the Laizhou Army and the White Pole Soldiers, and asked about the garrison and grain and grass of the two armies. Finally, it is necessary to do a good job in coordination and supply, and we must not chill the soldiers' desire to serve the country.

When Wang Rui heard this, he was very moved. Damn, Emperor Chongzhen is not at all what Zhang Tingyu, a slave of captives, portrayed in the so-called "History of the Ming Dynasty"!

What Emperor Chongzhen said was mean and unkind, what was stingy, and what did not treat his subordinates as people, it was completely nonsense!

What bullshit "History of the Ming Dynasty"! Phew!

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen asked him about the sacrifice of prisoners and Xuanjie at noon on the second day, which he valued the most. Even the number of people, process arrangements and other small things, he asked in detail one by one.

Hey, who told this man that since he entered the court, there has been no good news in the imperial court. Now that there is such a big victory, it is natural to seize the opportunity to publicize it!

After the inquiry, an hour and a half passed unconsciously. It wasn't until Emperor Chongzhen himself was hungry that he smiled humbly and said, "It's been agreed for a long time today, and I think all Aiqing is already hungry." In this way, the king accompaniment! Go and arrange it immediately, and today I will invite all Aiqing to have a light meal in the side hall next door! ”

The palace gave a banquet, and without warning, our Lord Wang Rui met it!
