Chapter 22: The Reappearance of the Scriptures

When I returned to the upper study, I asked Wang Chengen to pass Wu Sangui over.

In the interval between Wang Chengen's words, I casually asked Zheng Chenggong that if he was allowed to fight against Wu Sangui, there were several layers of certainty of winning.

Zheng Chenggong listened a little blankly and asked me why I could ask this topic.

The main reason why buddies asked, was that they were afraid that if the talks collapsed, Wu Sangui would rebel.

I was explaining to Zheng Chenggong when Wu Sangui walked in with a smile on his face.

"Weichen see the emperor!"

"General Wu doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

Wu Sangui sat down and looked at Zheng Chenggong, who was disdainful, but still greeted Zheng Chenggong very politely, saying that he had heard that Zheng Chenggong was young and promising and had made many military exploits.

After a few pleasantries, I got to the point and talked about my position.

"Presumably General Wu should know what I asked you to do, I can't hide it, I have already rewarded the minister for his meritorious deeds this morning, because the general can't get rid of Li Zicheng for the time being, so I invited you to come to the study alone and reward you."

Hearing this, Wu Sangui was very happy, and looked at me with a little more expectation in his eyes.

"I have thought for a long time, the army is the important weapon of the country, and the military department is the core of the army. Therefore, those who hold this position must not only have outstanding military achievements, but also have a loyal heart. And the general can be said to have died for the sake of me and the Ming Dynasty, so I decided to award the post of secretary of the military department to the general. ”

Hearing this, Wu Sangui immediately knelt down and said, "Thanks to the emperor's trust, the minister will never live up to the emperor's grace!" ”

Although I said that I gave him this position, he didn't know that buddy and I still had a backhand, and this backhand was to make this military department secretary a fictitious position.

"With the general's words, I am relieved. But I still have one thing to say, the general has been stationed in Shanhaiguan for a long time, and our Ming army is in the south, and Shanhaiguan is thousands of miles away from Nanjing, so it is extremely inconvenient to transfer troops. Therefore, I want to add another deputy post under the general, so that this deputy can stay in Nanjing to assist the general. What does the general think? ”

Hehe, Lao Tzu is doing this to empty him, which is equivalent to only giving him Yulu and not giving him military power.

"Deputy? Who does the emperor think is suitable for this position? ”

"I can move the capital to Nanjing and eradicate the traitor King Fu, in addition to the assistance of the general, there is also Zheng Sen. No, it should be called Zheng Chenggong now. Although Zheng Chenggong was young, he had already shown outstanding military talent by repelling the thieves in the first battle of Jiujiang, and at the same time, Zheng and his son had been stationed in Fujian for a long time and were familiar with naval warfare, so I thought he could occupy this deputy position. ”

When I said this, buddy, I was very unsure, afraid that Wu Sangui would have a seizure on the spot, but he didn't.

He smiled and touched his nose, and said to me very heartily: "The emperor really has a good eye, General Zheng is indeed the best candidate for this position, and if the minister can cooperate with him in the north and south, the thieves will definitely be repulsed." ”

As soon as he said this, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell.

"That's good, Wu Sangui and Zheng Chenggong listen to the seal! I named Wu Sangui as the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, and the official residence is the second grade; Feng Zheng Chenggong was the left squire of the military department, in charge of the soldiers and horses of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the official residence was three products. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" The two knelt and spoke.

......

After the matter of the military department was settled, I asked Zheng Chenggong to leave first, and then chatted with Wu Sangui about Chen Yuanyuan.

Speaking of Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui was very excited, so he asked me where Chen Yuanyuan was, saying that he had wanted to see her for a long time.

Damn, hearing this, buddy, I was complaining in my heart: Do you want to see her? You're totally trying to soak her. Don't think I don't know, your little bit of caution, brother still doesn't understand.

Of course, buddy, as the king of a country, can't say it directly, but tell him a little foreshadowing, saying that Chen Yuanyuan talked to me yesterday about the affairs between them, and he wants to tell him some things in person, and he also wants me to be a witness.

Hearing me say this, Wu Sangui became even more excited, and said to me: "Your Majesty, could it be that Yuanyuan wants you to be the master and handle the marriage for us?" ”

I'm grass, Lao Tzu was speechless when he heard it, and he was still married, Chen Yuanyuan didn't like you at all.

"This ...... I don't know exactly what it is. In this way, you follow me to the Imperial Garden, and I will call Chen Yuanyuan over, and then you will know what she is going to say. ”

"Good!"

After speaking, I led Wu Sangui to the Imperial Garden, and Wang Chengen went to call Chen Yuanyuan.

The Imperial Garden is built on the highest point of the Imperial City, with a panoramic view of Nanjing City and the Yangtze River.

Wu Sangui stood in the distance, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to me: "Your Majesty, you said that with the danger of the Yangtze River, Zheng Chenggong's talent, can you resist the thieves going south?" ”

His question was a little inexplicable, I couldn't understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd, and it sounded like he was despising Zheng Chenggong.

I smiled and said: "There is a general here, let alone knocking on Nanjing, whether you can hit Suzhou and Hangzhou is a problem." ”

"How so?" He asked again.

Before I could think about it, Chen Yuanyuan followed Wang Chengen and walked over.

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan coming, Wu Sangui was like a leopard in estrus, shooting up with an arrow step and holding Chen Yuanyuan's hand tightly.

"Yuanyuan, you make me think so bitterly!"

Damn, looking at his look, buddy, I'm depressed.

Chen Yuanyuan is such a delicate woman, if she falls into the hands of a rude soldier like him, it will be worth it.

Chen Yuanyuan had no relationship with him, and it was even more embarrassing to give him such a treat, and to add me to me.

"General......

Chen Yuanyuan gently pushed him away and lowered his head shyly.

"Yuanyuan, you ......"

The two fell silent for a moment, and then buddy and I stood up and said, "You two will meet again after a long absence, so I won't bother!" ”

With that, the buddy walked to the back of the Imperial Garden and observed them through the tangled vines.

Seeing that I wasn't there, Wu Sangui actually hugged Chen Yuanyuan, and then there was a burst of gobbling and gnawing, and I gritted my teeth when I saw it, and I couldn't wait to rush forward and beat him.

"Calm down, calm down!" I kept reminding myself.

"Ah......" Chen Yuanyuan pushed him away and said, "General, don't do this!" ”。

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing here?" Wu Sangui looked puzzled.

Chen Yuanyuan seemed to be hesitating, and as if he was brewing something, he kept strolling among the flowers and plants, and I was anxious to see the buddy.

After a long time, she turned back to Wu Sangui and said: "Yuanyuan knows that the general admires me, but the general doesn't know anything, Yuanyuan was given to the general on the day of the fight, in fact, ......"

Chen Yuanyuan crackled and said a lot, although I asked her to reject Wu Sangui, but I could hear from her words that she really didn't want to be with Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui's face changed instantly after hearing this, and then grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's collar and scolded angrily: "You said that you were forced to be helpless to follow me, then let me tell you, just a bitch like you, you will not be taken seriously with anyone." ”

Chen Yuanyuan didn't speak, and Wu Sangui slapped her in the face.

Seeing this, the buddy immediately rushed out and said, "General, why are you so angry? ”

Wu Sangui touched his nose and said to me: "I still hope that the emperor will be the master of Weichen, Chen Yuanyuan was originally the concubine of Weichen, but she used the minister's perennial war abroad as an excuse to break off the husband and wife status with the minister, and the minister couldn't accept it." ”

I pretended not to know anything, so I asked Chen Yuanyuan if this was the case, of course Chen Yuanyuan would not say it like Wu Sangui.

She said very frankly that she was forcibly given to Wu Sangui, and the two had no feelings, so she wanted to leave Wu Sangui.

Hearing Chen Yuanyuan say this, my buddy's heart was also steady, because she said so, I could express my position.

If I don't want her to be with Wu Sangui directly, Wu Sangui will definitely have an opinion on me.

"Sangui, since that's the case, forget it about you with my construction. If you want a beautiful woman, I can reward you with ten or eight, what do you think? ”

After hearing my words, Wu Sangui laughed out loud, and then said sincerely: "Okay, Weichen listens to the emperor." The big husband should put the world first, how can he be bound by a woman in the dust! ”

"That's a good Sangui."

As I spoke, I patted Wu Sangui on the shoulder, and then said to Chen Yuanyuan with pretended anger: "Chen Yuanyuan, go back, I don't want to see you, you have failed my beloved general." ”

I clearly saw that Chen Yuanyuan had tears in her eyes when she left, but she never cried.

To be honest, buddy, I know she's having a hard time, but I can't comfort her right now.

After Chen Yuanyuan left, Wu Sangui told me that the military spirit of Suzhou and Hangzhou was still unstable, and he wanted to go back as soon as possible.

I thought to myself, I was upset to keep you in Nanjing Lao Tzu to watch, so I agreed to him.

Before leaving, I explained to him about Princess Changping, and he agreed very well, saying that he would send it to me when he went back.

Oops, after sending away this plague god, buddy can be said to be relaxed.

After resting for a while, he was ready to comfort Chen Yuanyuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the gate of Chen Yuanyuan's dormitory, Wang Chengen hurriedly ran over and said to me: "Your Majesty, the old slave has found something special, and the emperor must go and see it." ”

"What's that?"

"The emperor will follow me to the study."

I didn't want to go, but seeing that he was in such a hurry, I went to the study with him.

When he arrived at the upper study, Wang Chengen walked to the innermost row of bookshelves and moved the bookshelves vigorously, there was actually a small grid on the wall behind the bookshelf, and there was a box containing books in the grid.

This bookbox is extremely exquisite, and there is a lid on it, and in the center of the lid are three big characters - "Xuanhua Sutra".
