I smiled pretending and said, "General Wu, I am very grateful that you can bring Changping to Hangzhou at a time when the army is in chaos. Hangzhou is only a hundred miles away from Nanjing, and I can send someone to pick her up at any time. ”

"If the emperor can understand the minister, the minister will be relieved."

After speaking, he touched his beard and continued: "Your Majesty, now that the traitor Ma Shiying has been beheaded by his ministers, I don't know what arrangements the emperor has for the post of secretary of the military department?" ”

Grass, this dog day detoured with me for a long time, and finally said his purpose.

He asked me how to arrange it, and Lao Tzu definitely didn't want to give him this position.

I thought for a moment and replied very subtly: "The secretary of the military department is the first person in the country's military strategy, and I listened to the rumors and awarded this position to Hong Chengchou, but I didn't expect Hong Chengchou to betray the country and surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, which became the biggest pain in my heart. I cannot make a hasty decision on the appointment of this position, but must consider it carefully. I wonder what the general suggests? ”

Hehe, Wu Sangui is cunning, and Lao Tzu is not bad, so he threw the problem directly to him, just to see what he thinks in his heart, and then I can deal with it.

And the reason why I mentioned Hong Chengchou was to hint at him. Because Chongzhen's fool gave the important military and political position to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou happened to be stationed at Shanhaiguan, and as a result, he took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, causing the Ming Dynasty to lose many cities.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Please rest assured, although the minister is stationed at Shanhaiguan, the minister has no two hearts!" ”

When he said this, he stared at me and his eyes kept rolling, like this Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, why is it not as simple as before.

Then he said: "For the post of secretary of the military department, the minister believes that he must choose a military general who can fight well, and at the same time, he must be loyal and filial to the court. Although the traitor Hong Chengchou can fight, he is disloyal to the emperor, and he must be cautious when the emperor selects talents, this position is related to the survival of the country! ”

Shit, when he said "be careful", he deliberately raised his voice, as if to imply me.

And the last sentence is related to the survival of the country, and it is more like blackmailing me.

I said calmly: "What the general said is that I will definitely think carefully about this matter, and I must not let a dishonest minister occupy this position. ”

After saying this, I immediately changed the topic and said: "By the way, General, last time you said that Li Zicheng didn't trust you, and now that you are leading your troops south, has Li Zicheng's attitude towards you changed?" ”

Although last time he sent me a letter from Feigeon, saying that Li Zicheng didn't trust him and asked me to help find a way, I think this may be true or false.

And the reason why I want to ask this is actually to find out his details and see what his attitude towards Li Zicheng is.

"Li Zicheng is not afraid of the villager. The emperor can rest assured that the minister has brought the map of the city occupied by the army to Hangzhou, and when the minister returns to the barracks, he will send it to the emperor! ”

Dog, he said it wonderfully.

On the one hand, he showed his loyalty to me, but on the other hand, he said that if I did not meet his conditions, the map of the army would definitely not be given to me. As for the map left in Hangzhou, that's complete nonsense.

Although I saw through all this, I did not expose him, but said, "I am relieved to have a general in me." By the way, the general, I don't know anything, and I hope the general will tell me. ”

"Your Majesty, if you ask, the minister will answer truthfully and never hide it!"

"I fled from Beijing overnight, leaving the prince and concubines, and now Princess Changping has been found by the general, I heard the spy say that the three princes were not killed by Li Zicheng the day before yesterday, and they should have escaped, I wonder if the general knows about it?"

I'm telling a lie, I don't know if Chongzhen's three princes are dead or not, I want to blow up Wu Sangui, I'm worried that he lied to me last time he flew a pigeon and passed the book.

You must know that if these three princes do not die, it is definitely a threat to me.

Once Wu Sangui rebels, he can sit in the north, catch one and stand up as the emperor, and compete with me.

Wu Sangui looked at me, touched his beard again, and said, "The minister is busy with the war and doesn't know about it, and he hopes that the emperor will atone for his sins." But the emperor can rest assured that after the ministers return to Beijing, they will make every effort to search and rescue the three princes. ”

Hearing him say this, it seemed that I really didn't know the whereabouts of the three turtle sons, and the stone hanging in my heart also fell.

"The general doesn't have to blame himself, life and death are fate, and the rich country is in the sky. The three of them can die and die for the country, which can be regarded as the right ancestor of the society. ”

After saying this, I didn't know what to say, because my mind was full of confusion, and I was afraid of losing my words.

At the same time, I was worried that he would mention Chen Yuanyuan's matter to me, so I deliberately said that I was unwell and needed to rest, so I asked him to step back first, and I would talk about anything until tomorrow after the morning court.

Although Wu Sangui was proud of his achievements, he didn't dare to disobey my will for the time being, so he could only retreat obediently.

After he left, buddy and I breathed a sigh of relief, it was too stressful to chat with him, and I really didn't dare to say a word wrong.

……

I drank some tea, calmed down for a moment and thought about it, it is definitely not a good thing to openly argue with him now.

If you want to stabilize him, you can only temporarily meet his requirements and give him the position of secretary of the military department, but you can't let him support the army and respect himself.

Thinking of this, I have a countermeasure in my heart, and I plan to discuss with him tomorrow morning after the reward for meritorious deeds.

As for the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou that he now occupies, I am not too worried about this.

What I think is that when the reward is finished, let him go back to Shanhaiguan, and then find an opportunity to replace the guards of Suzhou and Hangzhou with my people.

But this is also a risky move, whether I can go well or not, I don't know the result until I talk to him tomorrow.

After thinking about the political issues, I began to think about how to solve Chen Yuanyuan's personal problems.

I analyzed it carefully, first of all, it is impossible for me to return Chen Yuanyuan to him, but if I take a tough attitude to detain Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui will definitely be furious, and it will even turn into a military coup.

Secondly, if the ministers knew that I had offended Wu Sangui because of Chen Yuanyuan, they would inevitably have opinions about me.

So, what should I do to properly resolve this matter?

I pondered for a long time and finally decided to talk to Chen Yuanyuan alone and tell her about my love for her.

I think that as my emperor, Chen Yuanyuan should not refuse me.

If she doesn't reject me, I will let her talk to Wu Sangui in person and find an excuse to break up with Wu Sangui.

In this way, I can not only keep Chen Yuanyuan, but also not offend Wu Sangui.

Thinking of this, buddy, I was excited, and without saying a word, I went straight to Chen Yuanyuan's dormitory.

Because I was busy pretending to be stupid and coaxing King Fu before, and I was going to put down King Fu's rebellion later, I haven't had a good chat with Chen Yuanyuan for almost a month, and now I have to confess to her, buddy, I'm really a little nervous.

I hurried into Chen Yuanyuan's room, where she was playing the pipa, and the song she played was quite sad.

Seeing me coming, she put down the pipa and knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, the people have something to ask for!" ”

Damn, what kind of rhythm is this, she didn't even say hello to me, so she asked me to do something for her.

Could it be that she knew that Wu Sangui had come to Nanjing, and begged me not to return her to Wu Sangui?

I leaned down and helped her up, and said with concern: "Yuanyuan doesn't need to be formal, just say anything." ”

She hesitated for a while, bowed her head and said, "The people's daughter begs the emperor not to execute the traitor and venture to open up the territory!" ”

Nima, I thought something was going on, but it turned out to be interceding for that scumbag who took the liberty.

"I took the risk of betraying you and almost killed me, why do you still intercede for him?"

"The people's daughter knows that the crime of taking the border should be killed, but the emperor doesn't know it, and the people's daughter ......"

She tearfully told about her miserable life experience, saying that a few years ago, she fell into the dust and worked as a geisha in Suzhou, and the old bustard in the Qinglou had to force her to sell herself.

Although Mao Bijiang was disappointed by her in the end, she still felt that Mao Bijiang was kind to her, so she wanted to repay her this time.

After talking about her miserable life experience, she was already wet with tears, crying very sadly.

I reached out to wipe her tears, and she dodged, which made me very embarrassed.

But I thought about it for a while, it doesn't matter if I kill Mao Bijiang or not, after all, Mao Bijiang is just a small person.

So he said, "I promised you not to kill him." But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin cannot be escaped! ”

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, and the people are grateful."

After speaking, she wiped her tears, and then asked, "I wonder what happened when the emperor came to find the people's daughter?" ”

Forehead......

What's the matter? Dude, I'm here to confess to you!

But when she asked, it made me very embarrassed.

I didn't dare to look at her nervously, let alone how to express my emotions.
