"I can finally meet Chongzhen!"

Fang Yuan had been waiting for this opportunity for several months since he crossed over, and now that he had finally waited for it, Princess Chong Kunxing shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, princess." ”

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to summon Fang Yuan, but Princess Kunxing could only suppress her dissatisfaction, and pouted, "Xiaolinzi, my father doesn't see me?" ”

The little eunuch named Xiao Linzi said respectfully, "Princess, Your Majesty has not summoned the princess, so please go back!" ”

Princess Kunxing stomped her feet and stood by the gate full of exasperation.

Fang Yuan smiled at her, and asked Xiao Linzi and a few little eunuchs to carry a large wooden box into the Qianqing Gate, and went to meet the deceased king of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen sat in front of the dragon case in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and was engrossed in watching the DV machine handed to him by Tian Guifei.

He was very curious about the novelty of being able to put a human figure into a small box, and he couldn't put it down.

Tian Guifei was unwell and had returned to Yonghe Palace. In the entire Dongnuan Pavilion, only the eunuch Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, and three or four little eunuchs were waiting quietly on one side.

The night vision device and drone of Fang Yuan's big box have been checked back and forth countless times, and even Wang Chengen himself has personally looked at it for a while, making sure that it is not the murder weapon, so he ordered it to be put into the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Fang Yuan entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen watched the video of Tian Hongyu's self-confession back and forth, and was hesitating whether to kneel down and salute according to the etiquette.

Chongzhen suddenly looked up at him, and raised the DV machine in his hand, "Fang Yuan, where did this DV machine come from?" Can actually ingest people into small boxes, is it witchcraft? ”

Emperor Chongzhen was thirty-one years old, with a fair face and a handsome spirit, he was a young and handsome emperor, but between his handsome eyebrows, there was tiredness that could not be concealed.

Chongzhen is a workaholic, and it is said that the average daily time spent on handling government affairs has reached sixteen hours, in other words, in addition to sleeping, there is also time to entertain with the harem concubines, basically spent in the Qianqing Palace to deal with government affairs.

Emperor Chongzhen even ordered that even when he was sleeping, as long as the minister had an important piece of music, or a military and political suggestion, he could come directly to the Qianqing Palace to call the door, and usually Chongzhen would also meet him at the first time.

This emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in Fang Yuan's view, is a fair-skinned and handsome workaholic, whether there is merit or not, hard work must be there, in other peaceful and prosperous times, it is more than enough to be a Shoucheng Ming monarch who will remain in history. But he encountered the irretrievable turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he could only bear the name of the king of the dead country.

His question Fang Yuan had already anticipated, Fang Yuan had thought of his words in advance, and took the opportunity to stop kneeling, and hurriedly said, "This is not witchcraft, but it was sold by an American businessman that the minister met in Shandong." ”

"The United States?"

Chongzhen had obviously never heard of the name of the country, frowned, and turned to Wang Chengen to ask, "Have you heard of the United States?" Where is the United States? ”

Wang Chengen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave has only heard of Franco, the Wa Kingdom, the Tianzhu Kingdom, and even the Hongmao Country and the Lu Country, and has never heard of the United States. ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly explained, "I heard that it is a country in the New World on the other side of the ocean. ”

Chongzhen couldn't judge the truth of his words, anyway, these were also trivialities, so he didn't ask anymore, put down the DV machine, looked up at Fang Yuan, looked up and down for a while, and a pleasant voice came, "Fang Yuan, what I hear the most these days is your name." First Tian Guozhang, then Wang Chengen, today even my beloved concubine dragged her sick body. What kind of powerful person are you, who can make so many people come and talk about you. ”

He was not as sensitive and irritable as Fang Yuan expected, Fang Yuan hurriedly said, "The minister is not supernatural, but he did some bold things when he went to Jiangnan, which caused Tian Guozhang's dissatisfaction. ”

Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair without a trace of joy and anger on his face and said, "What did you do when you went to Jiangnan, tell me one by one." ”

Fang Yuan had a clear conscience in front of Chongzhen, and told everything that happened during the trip to Jiangnan, only omitting the section where Tian Guozhang colluded with the Donglin Party to seek a future for the two little princes.

Chongzhen listened to Fang Yuan's account without saying a word, was silent for a while, and said, "You said that you annihilated fifty Houjin Tartars in Yanzhou Mansion, how could Tian Guozhang impeach you for falsely reporting the military exploits of five hundred people?" ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly explained, "It is true that the minister only annihilated fifty Houjin Tartars in Yanzhou, and the military exploits of the five hundred people were falsely reported by Tian Guozhang, but they were framed on the head of the minister, Your Majesty is clear." ”

Chongzhen groaned and said, "Twenty brocade guards can annihilate fifty Houjin Tartars, which is already a great victory, if the Ming border army also has such combat power, why worry about the injustice?" Can you tell me how you fought? ”

Chongzhen's focus is obviously not on the political struggles of falsely reporting military merits, but on military feasibility, Fang Yuan said truthfully, "In this battle, it was only because the ministers took advantage of the time, place and people that they were lucky to win, and the two armies faced each other head-to-head, and Houjin was still the number one force in the world." ”

Chongzhen was stunned and asked, "What is the right time, place and people?" ”

Fang Yuan explained, "The time of heaven is that there is no moonlight at night, but it is a night battle; The location is advantageous, and the minister ambushed the Houjin Tartars in the special terrain of the post station; Speaking of people and ......"

Fang Yuan hurriedly turned around and took out the night vision device from the big box, held it in both hands and said, "It's all about this night vision device, which makes the night battle more beneficial to our army, but not to the Houjin army." ”

Wang Chengen took the night vision device and put it on the dragon case in front of Chongzhen, Chongzhen took the night vision device and fiddled with it a few times, but he couldn't get the point, so he ordered Wang Chengen to move the dragon chair and sit in front of Fang Yuan, "How did this thing fight at night?" ”

Fang Yuan still knelt on the ground and taught Chongzhen how to use the night vision device, "Your Majesty, as long as there is no light at night, you can clearly see things in the dark through the night vision device." ”

Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "With this baby, are you not afraid of the Houjin Army?" ”

Fang Yuan is not Yuan Chonghuan who fired the cannon casually, and the Chongzhen in front of him is not the ignorant and ignorant young emperor fifteen years ago.

Fang Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "The night vision device can only be used for sneak attacks at night, it has high requirements for celestial phenomena, and it is useless when the two armies face each other. ”

Chongzhen was slightly disappointed that Wang Chengen accepted the night vision device, and asked, "How did you deal with the civil rebellion that stirred up the literati in Suzhou Prefecture?" ”

Fang Yuan took out the drone in the big box again, put it in front of Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, it's all up to this drone." ”

Emperor Chongzhen saw this strange shape, the bird is not like a bird, and the eagle is not like an eagle, and asked curiously, "What is a drone?" ”

Fang Yuan took out the drone's remote control, turned on the drone's power supply, and skillfully operated it.

In front of Chongzhen, Wang Chengen, and a few little eunuchs, the drone circled back and forth around the roof of the Dongnuan Pavilion, sometimes over the dragon bed, and sometimes flew over the dragon case, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Chongzhen was surprised again and again, "Divine bird, really a divine bird!" ”

Fang Yuan commanded the drone to land steadily in front of Chongzhen, and Chongzhen picked up the drone with him, as if he was caressing a rare treasure, "Can this thing defeat the Houjin Army on the battlefield?" ”

Fang Yuan said truthfully, "No, the maximum flight altitude of the effective remote control of the drone is ten zhang, which can only be used to burn the enemy's grain and grass, or high-altitude reconnaissance. ”

Chongzhen sighed lightly, put the drone again, and asked Wang Chengen to put it away, then he got up and looked at Fang Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, "Being able to detect the enemy's situation, and burning grain and grass is also a help for the battlefield." Fang Yuan, you also got these new things from the United States, the United States? How much did it cost? ”

Fang Yuan truthfully quoted to him, "Three hundred taels of silver for a night vision device, and two thousand taels of silver for a drone." ”

Chongzhen frowned and said, "This, two thousand taels of silver is too expensive, I can't draw out the money!" ”

He said to himself, looked at Fang Yuan and asked, "Why do you want to be an enemy of the Donglin Party in Jiangnan?" Is it really because of blackmail, annoyed and angry? ”

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "No, those Donglin party members in Jiangnan only hope that the imperial court in Beijing will perish as soon as possible, so that they can establish a new dynasty in Jiangnan. ”

"A little punishment?"

Chongzhen said to himself, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, and asked Fang Yuan's fifth major crime, "Fang Yuan, have you spoken out of your mouth?" ”

Fang Yuan sighed and said, "The so-called words of the dead country are the days when the Jiangnan literati were drunk and drunk, and they dreamed of dying, and chanted a sentence 'The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the back garden across the river'. ”

"Hate the country, hate the country, Fang Yuan, you are really bold, dare to say anything!"

Chongzhen muttered silently, sat back in front of the dragon case with a blank face, and said loudly, "Wang Chengen, pass on my message to the Jinyi Guard." ”

According to the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor's edicts, decrees, and oral edicts were transmitted to the outer court, they must be approved by the cabinet before they can be executed; However, if the word is passed to the Jinyi Guard, which belongs to the inner court, there is no need to go through the cabinet.

Wang Chengen hurriedly took out the edict and waited for Chongzhen's decree, in his opinion, the edict was passed to the Jinyi Guard, what the Jinyi Guard did, that is known to everyone on the earth, and it is estimated that Fang Yuan is more than lucky.

Fang Yuan obviously thought of one thing with Wang Chengen, and his heart was also hanging, the time of life and death had finally arrived!

Chongzhen said in a deep voice, "Fang Yuan's behavior in Jiangnan is absurd and unlawful, and he is specially ordered to be sent to prison and punished with a hundred rods." ”

Five brocade guards on duty outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace rushed in like wolves.

"I was sent to prison and punished with a hundred rods, where is my life?"

Fang Yuan was startled, and his heart sank to the bottom, it seems that this Chongzhen Emperor is indeed moody, and if he doesn't argue loyalty and treachery, Da Ming is really hopeless!
