Chapter 21 The Beauty of the Country
I hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I didn't really have anything to do here, but I mainly wanted to care about your life. I have something I want to ask you if there is any love between you and Wu Sangui. ”
I took a detour, thinking that if she was ruthless to Wu Sangui, then I would be fine.
"The folk girl was originally a dust geisha, like duckweed playing in the world, and was accepted as a concubine by Wu Sangui, but in fact, she was helpless. I think the emperor should be clear about this. ”
Yes, buddy, I know very well, she was given to Wu Sangui by a Beijing official at that time.
According to what she said, she should have no feelings for Wu Sangui, and her buddy was happy at once.
But what I didn't expect was that she said next: "Although the folk girl doesn't get along much with Wu Sangui, let alone the word affection, Wu Sangui is loyal to the country, which is indeed admirable compared to the likes of the frontier." ”
Nima, as soon as he said this, Lao Tzu had no bottom in his heart.
But I still mustered up the courage to say: "Wu Sangui is indeed loyal and patriotic, but you are ruthless with him, he has a family, are you really willing to be his concubine?" ”
She looked at me very puzzled and said, "What does the emperor mean by this?" The people don't understand, please make it clear to the emperor. ”
Seeing that the words were all said for this part, buddy, I didn't want to twist and pinch anymore, so I confided my admiration to her, and also told her that Wu Sangui had arrived in Nanjing.
After listening to my words, she was very surprised, and her face was even more delicate with shame.
I thought to myself that she must have been attracted to me, but I didn't expect her to directly slap me.
"Your Majesty, General Wu is loyal to the country, even if the people's daughter is ruthless with her, you can't do such a thing; And now that General Wu occupies the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou, if the emperor does not let me return to General Wu, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not be able to protect it. ”
She's right, I shouldn't have done anything like this, but I like her, it's true.
I said excitedly, "You're right, but do you know that without you, I wouldn't be where I am today?" It was you who made me decide to be a good emperor. You have changed me, and I am even more sincere to you, visible to heaven and earth. Don't you feel it? ”
"The people don't understand what the emperor means by this, didn't the emperor be diligent and love the people before? Your Majesty, you have three palaces and six courtyards, what's the use of having one more woman in the dust? Then again, there must be a reason why the emperor wanted to take the people's daughter to Nanjing. As for the emperor's love for the people's daughter, the people's daughter really doesn't understand. ”
Grass, my words stunned me, and it was highly likely that she misunderstood me.
"Then tell me why I took you to Nanjing? If it weren't for my affection for you, I could have beheaded you if you leaked the news of me in Suzhou that day, but why would I try to keep you behind against all opinions? ”
"Huh!" Chen Yuanyuan sneered, and then said: "The reason why the emperor left the people's daughters and didn't kill the people's daughters was to use the people's girls as a pawn to control Wu Sangui from beginning to end. If the people's daughter died, Wu Sangui would not obey the emperor's orders. Although I, Chen Yuanyuan, am a geisha, even though I have no feelings for Wu Sangui, I am willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of the country. ”
Depend on! I really misunderstood me. But what she said later was so touching to me.
"What you said, I do want to use you to control Wu Sangui, but it's not entirely like this......"
Before I could finish my sentence, she interrupted me.
"Your Majesty, don't say it again! For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, you let me go with Wu Sangui! ”
Nima! Lao Tzu really loves her and is angry with her.
She is not cold, she is a fearless patriotic spirit.
She would rather sacrifice her happiness to be with someone she doesn't love, rather than the country suffering, which is completely two people from the Chen Yuanyuan recorded in the history books.
Seeing this, I was also anxious, so I completely let go of the identity of the emperor, took her hand, and said: "Yuanyuan, in fact, I am not an emperor at all, I just crossed over to Chongzhen, I was originally a history student......"
I told her all the things I had crossed over without reservation, and I also told her that if I hadn't reversed history and moved the capital to Nanjing, Wu Sangui would have taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and she was snatched away by Li Zicheng and ruined, and so on.
I said it sincerely, but unfortunately she listened with a confused look and didn't know what I was talking about.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. But I know that you are a good emperor, and now the Ming Dynasty needs you! ”
"Jiangshan? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought about this bullshit at all. Do you know that you changed me? I shook her body, expressed my emotions excitedly, and said, "Without you, even if you get the country, what's the use?" What is the use of a man who can't even protect the woman he loves to be an emperor? ”
I'm really excited, but everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart, without her presence, where would I be where I am today.
Perhaps it was because she saw my sincerity, or perhaps because she was under the pressure of my status as emperor, after I said this, she pondered for a moment, and then said:
"I don't care if you're the emperor or a student, but I want to tell you that I, Chen Yuanyuan, won't fall in love with a man who has no sense of responsibility. If you really want to get my heart, then you should show what a Ming Jun should be. ”
Hearing this, I eagerly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Pacify the four seas, restore the Ming Dynasty, reduce taxes, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, free from foreign slaughter. If you can do it, my Chen Yuanyuan's heart will naturally be captured by you! ”
I grass, these words make my blood boil, although she is from a humble background, but she cares about her family and country, how can I not love such a woman buddy?
And what she always wanted was not glory and wealth, let alone coveting me as the emperor, she wanted a hero who saved the common people.
"Okay, don't worry, I will do it for you!"
I said firmly, tears of excitement coming out.
After I said this, she pondered for a while, looked at me again, and then asked, "In that case, what does the emperor want the people to do?" ”
"Tomorrow I will arrange for you to meet Wu Sangui, and when you arrive, tell him that you have no feelings, and you want to find another him. Rest assured, I will do justice to you. ”
"Alright! I hope Daming won't die because of me! I also hope that the emperor can really do what he says and be a good emperor like Tang Zong and Song Zu. ”
After saying that, she went into the bedroom, and I sighed and stood there for a long time before leaving.
Although I confessed to her today, she didn't actually agree to be with me, which made me a little disappointed.
But buddy, I won't be discouraged, I will definitely fulfill my promise, restore the Ming Dynasty, and I want the beauties of the country.
……
Early the next morning, the ministers gathered in the court, and Wang Chengen stood by my side again.
And what I have to do today is to reward meritorious deeds, and then let Chen Yuanyuan have a showdown with Wu Sangui after it is over.
Speaking of meritorious deeds, I had already talked to Shi Kefa last night, and basically figured out the situation of the ministers, and killed all the important ministers who supported King Lifu as the emperor, and I opened the net and did not kill those small shrimps, which also bought people's hearts.
At the same time, I reactivated Shi Kefa and let him continue to be the secretary of the ministry.
After all, his essence is not bad, and he is also a scholar, and the reason why he took a detour at the beginning was completely to blame King Fu.
And for those who are loyal to me and want to support me as emperor before, I have rewarded them, promoted those who should be promoted, and those who should be transferred to different positions have also been transferred.
Among them, the most meritorious ones are Zhang Zhao, Zheng Chenggong, Xia Wanchun and others.
For these people, I already have my own position in my heart.
Zhang Zhao has a meritorious escort, and I fulfilled my previous promise on the ship and made him the commander of the forbidden army.
Xia Wanchun, although he had great achievements, was too young to give him a position, so I named him "the first warrior of the Ming Dynasty" and enjoyed the benefits of a third-grade official.
As for Zheng Gongcheng, buddy, I didn't reward him with an official position in front of the ministers, but according to historical records, I gave him the surname of the country, and then gave him the name "Chenggong".
The main reason why I didn't knight him in public is that I haven't negotiated with Wu Sangui yet, and once I negotiate with Wu Sangui, Zheng Gongcheng's position will be determined logically.
After the meritorious deeds were rewarded, I asked Zheng Gongcheng to follow me to the upper study, because I wanted to have a direct conversation with Wu Sangui in the upper study.
Although I had already thought about how to negotiate with Wu Sangui for the position, I was still a little worried that he would not buy it at that time.
But I can't care so much about it now, what should come will always come, let's not be afraid!
