Leaving Liang Qingbiao, this is completely to give Yuan Shu face, this time to go to Baoding, Yuan Shu specially sent a letter to come, intercede for Liang Qingbiao, Cao Bianjiao only learned that the two families are world friends, and although Liang Qingbiao is treasonous, but it is not bad for the official, it can be used, after all, the recovered lost land needs to be governed by officials, for some people who can be used, Cao Bianjiao is still willing to give them a chance, at this time there is no need to kill them all.

Zierharang was repatriated to the north, He Luohui was also repatriated, and was monitored by 50,000 Ming troops and left the Zhenbao line, from Tianjin to Yongping, even Beijing was not allowed to go back, and was directly sent out of the customs, and Shanxi's Azig also led the troops to withdraw from Datong, together with Dolgon, escorted the little emperor of Shunzhi to evacuate in batches, first the emperor evacuated, then the queen mother, and then the Manchu ministers, who withdrew from Shanhaiguan within half a month, and in Shanhaiguan, not a single Manchu person left.

After the Qing army withdrew from Shanhaiguan, Li Dingguo immediately blocked Shanhaiguan and became the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Cao Bianjiao also led the army into Beijing City, for the people of Beijing City, the Ming army once again killed back, for them is still quite excited, whether it is Dashun or Daqing, they have harmed them a lot in Beijing City, Liangtian Manor is occupied by Manchurians, and now that the Ming army is back, they finally don't have to be bullied anymore.

Cao Bianjiao also divided the troops to occupy various places, and the officials transferred from Nanjing also took up posts in various places and served as state officials, for those county orders in various places, according to their official reputation in the county, if they have a good reputation, they will continue to stay in office to serve the country, and those with an average official reputation will be demoted and investigated, and those with a bad official reputation will be directly detained and disposed of, and in accordance with the new policy policy, the people will be appeased, Chen Jin will be the governor of Shanxi, Cao Dingjiao will be the governor of Shanxi, Yuan Shu will be the governor of Zhili, and Jin Sheng will be the governor of Shandong......

"General, summoning the two of us late at night, I don't know what's going on?"

Beijing City, the palace of the king of faith before Chongzhen's accession to the throne, has now become Cao Bianjiao's general, it is already time, Cao Bianjiao recruited Song Xiance and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is unknown, and Song Xiance is also full of doubts.

Cao Bianjiao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to them, and the two of them also took it and looked at it, and they were immediately shocked on the spot.

"The emperor is critically ill, half a month ago, the emperor went to Xuanwu Lake for a cruise, but when he came back, he was frightened and threw the emperor out of the car, the emperor was seriously injured and in danger, this letter was sent by Yuan Ge Lao, please return to Beijing as soon as possible to decide, preside over the overall situation, I must go back immediately, and the affairs of the north will be handed over to you."

"If the emperor dies and has no heirs, only the second brother of King Yong and King Ling, King Yong is elder, he is sixteen years old, and King Ling is fifteen, both of whom were born to Concubine Tian, and they should choose one of them to stabilize people's hearts." Song Xiance also said at the moment that he was thinking about the fact that once the emperor died, they had to stabilize the situation.

Cao Bianjiao also nodded, and said: "Gang Chang is in order, the law of the free ancestors can be followed, this does not need to be discussed, I still have a lot of things to solve, so I need you to help me complete, especially Shanxi, Jiang Huang This person repeatedly, must not stay, when the Dashun army has not yet attacked the city, this person surrendered without a fight, Li Chuang Wang hated this person at that time, and wanted to kill him quickly, but was dissuaded by Zhang Tianlin, let Jiang Hao have a way out, this person repeatedly, after the defeat of the Dashun army, he killed Ke Tianxiang and Zhang Tianlin, the guards of the Dashun army, and took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I can't keep him anymore, but I can't kill him in the open, otherwise it will cause turmoil, how to deal with it, you can discuss it, I don't want him to live past next year. As early as the Wanli period, some Shanxi merchants used Zhangjiakou as a base to travel back and forth inside and outside the Guan, engaged in trade activities, transported materials to the Manchu regime, and transmitted documents and information. The most typical is Fan Yongdou, a wealthy merchant in Shanxi Province, who was summoned by the Qing court as an imperial merchant of the Internal Affairs Bureau, who traveled back and forth between inside and outside the Guan, and lost the leather currency in the Inner Government, and in the large-scale military operations of the Qing army over the years, most of them had received financial support from Shanxi businessmen, and these people were found out, and their family property was confiscated, and all of them were exiled to Gansu......

"The inferior rank understands, don't worry, the general, we will definitely finish this matter!" At that moment, Yuan Shu and Song Xiance also immediately gave up, both knowing that this matter was very important and had to be cautious.

"In addition, the rebel armies in various places also need to be reorganized, so the young and strong ones will be incorporated into the army to enrich the strength of our army, and the rest will be treated to return to their hometowns with leniency, and each person will be rewarded with a silver dollar, which must be properly disposed of."

"Yes!"

"Okay, you're tired too, go back and rest, tomorrow I will lead the army back south, and I'll leave it to you here."

The city of Nanjing is full of lights, laughter and laughter, all of which are celebrating the victory of the Northern Expedition, but in the palace city, it is indeed heavily guarded, deserted, ten steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, but seeing the forbidden army patrolling in the palace city, all of them have a dignified face. In the entire palace, there was a tense atmosphere, and when Cao Bianjiao followed Zhu Yujian to Wuying Palace, he saw Yuan Jixian, Wan Yuanji, Xiong Rulin, Lu Zhenfei, Huang Daozhou, Wu Ganlai and other six cabinet ministers waiting outside the palace gate.

Cao Bianjiao led everyone into the main hall and saw Zhu Cijiong lying on the bed, his shape was erect, and he was as haggard as two people.

"Is the general back?" After Cao Bianjiao and the others entered the hall, Zhu Cijiong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a weak tone.

Cao Bianjiao hurriedly walked up from behind, knelt beside the bed, and replied, "Your Majesty, the minister is back, and the minister is here." ”

Seeing Cao Bianjiao, a faint smile flashed on Zhu Cijiong's thin and bloodless face. This smile looks very familiar, when he was in Beijing City, when Cao Bianjiao rescued them, he had seen it, revealing a sense of peace.

At that time, Zhu Cijiong was young and young, and he was a little panicked and dependent, but now he is at ease...... When Cao Bianjiao saw Zhu Cijiong's appearance, he felt very sad, and there was an unspeakable worry, they continued to escalate from dependence and trust to the estrangement later, to now they look at each other and smile, everything is like dust and smoke.

"The emperor can rest assured, the emperor will recover......" Cao Bianjiao's voice suddenly choked up.

Zhu Cijiong beckoned to him and said, "General, come closer and sit on the edge of the bed." ”

Cao Bianjiao also stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, Zhu Cijiong said: "Don't resent me, the general, your merits are too high and your prestige is too heavy over the years, I know that the general is loyal to the country, but the more so, the more worried I am, your credit is too great, if you go to the extreme, there is no reward, I can't help but feel jealous." I didn't want to say this, but I didn't want the general to have any estrangement with me. General, after I die, you will definitely assist my brother like I am, and protect my Ming Dynasty for generations to come, can the general be able to deal with it? ”

Cao Bianjiao couldn't speak anymore, he hurriedly turned around and kowtowed, choked up: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will never live up to the emperor's expectations, and the minister will do his best to restore the society to protect the Ming Dynasty for generations to come, and never dare to have a second ambition." ”

"That being the case, I have no regrets! My last photo is under the pillow, and the general announces the ministers! ”

"Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, and they must take respecting the heavens and ancestors as the first priority...... I inherited the unification, Shaodeng Dabao, dreamed of worrying all night, and was afraid that I would not be able to overcome the load. Since his accession to the throne, he has devoted himself to politics, worked hard, and worked tirelessly. Although it did not live up to expectations, the government has gradually been purged, the people's hearts have gradually become good, and the subjects are full of virtue...... The emperor's younger brother Yongwang Cizhi admires the blessings accumulated by his ancestors, is frugal and benevolent, and is really one with me, especially when he inherits the unification: pro-righteous people, do the right thing, listen to the right words, don't be tempted by villains, don't be confused by heresy...... The celebration of the 10,000th anniversary of the Mianzu Society. They should be rituals and follow the rules......"

Reading and reading, I suddenly heard Princess Changping cry out sadly: "Your Majesty! ”

Cao Bianjiao's tears also flowed silently......
