Zhao Hu, who had no choice but to return to Gubeikou with his soldiers, although he did not catch the little emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, he still gained a lot along the way. More than 200,000 Manchu people from Gubeikou to Lizhou, the road to Lizhou is full of Manchurian nobles, Zhao Hu didn't have time to deal with this gang of unlucky people yesterday, but when he returned, he was not soft.

These Manchurian nobles have been collecting in Guanli for seven or eight years, and they have brought countless gold, silver and jewelry, and now they are all cheap Zhao Hu. At the same time, some small Mongolian tribes outside the Gubei Pass also made a small fortune, these small tribes belonged to the Duoyan Sanwei, they learned that the Manchurians and Han people were fighting outside the Guan, and they brought their men and horses to fight outside the mouth. Of course, they didn't dare to deal with the large Manchurian Eight Banners, but it was still possible to clean up some lonely Manchurian nobles. Because Zhao Hu did not have the emperor's order, he did not kill the small Mongolian tribes who came to make soy sauce.

Zhao Hu walked all the way and retracted all the way, and re-entered the Great Wall of Gubeikou three days later. At this time, Wang Lin, who was guarding the city, had already received an order from the military aircraft department in the capital to continue to guard Gubeikou, and at the same time, Wang Lin also knew that the prince who went out of the city a few days ago was the emperor's nephew, and he was also the eldest princess's concubine, which was a thick thigh.

Wang Lin was born in the former Ming military household, and was the general of Gubeikou during the Chongzhen period, as a border general Wang Lin still has some ability, but the general trend is so strong that he is unable to resist alone. After learning that Beijing was broken by Li Zicheng, Wang Lin also took refuge in Li Zicheng, and then the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now he is back in the sequence of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few years, Wang Lin has suffered from the lack of a backstage, although the change of emperor in Guanli is like a marquee, but he has nothing to do with himself, and he is still a city guard in Gubeikou. Now that I know that this Zhao Hu is the prince, or the emperor's nephew, or the emperor's concubine, why don't you hurry up to this relationship?

Wang Lin went down to the city and waited at the city gate, and saw Zhao Hu riding the elephant-like war horse into the city, Wang Lin hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed and said: "The young general welcomes the prince into the city, congratulations to the prince for making such a great achievement!" ”

Although Zhao Hu is five big and three coarse, he is very kind to people, although he is unhappy when Shunzhi runs away, but it is really unreasonable for people to welcome him so much and ignore others.

"This garrison is invited, what is the great merit or not, this is all the emperor's planning, this king is just acting on orders!"

"Lord Wang, the young general has prepared a celebration banquet in the city, please invite the prince to participate in it!" Wang Lin originally arranged for women, but after knowing that Zhao Hu was a concubine, he hurriedly asked people to drive the women away, which would offend the princess!

Zhao Hu was in a bad mood and didn't want to go to the celebration banquet of Lao Shizi, but Zhao Hu didn't want to lose Wang Lin's face, so he had to say: "This garrison, this king has the emperor's order, and he will rush to the city with the Manchu prisoners, so he won't enter the city, thank you for your kindness!" ”

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he led his men through the city, leaving Wang Lin standing at the gate of the city, extremely melancholy. Wang Lin's brother Bao Chao watched Zhao Hu on the side and didn't give face, and scolded in a low voice: "Your mother, what kind of prince is so awesome, isn't it just to catch some old and weak women and children of the Manchu Dynasty!" ”

At this time, the city gate was full of Ming cavalry, and Wang Lin was afraid that what Bao Chao said would be heard, so he hurriedly pulled Bao Chao to the side.

At this time, a cavalryman of the Ming army ran in front of him, came to Wang Lin's side and said: "Lord Garrison, my lord thank you for the kindness of the garrison, but the emperor's order cannot be delayed!" The prince of my family sent a little one to ask the name of the garrison, and he will come to the capital to mention it to the emperor! ”

This is what Wang Lin wants, although he is a general, but last night when he saw Zhao Hu arrive in the city, he opened the door and let the Ming army out of the customs, which can be regarded as a small achievement. But Wang Lin knew that this kind of credit was in the hands of Zhao Hu, and what he said to the emperor completely depended on his mood.

Now hearing that Zhao Hu wanted to give him the credit, Wang Lin was very happy, and hurriedly asked someone to take out a hundred taels of silver and hand it to the Ming cavalryman, and said with a smile: "This general, please give the prince, the young general is called Wang Lin!" ”

The cavalry of the Ming army was only Zhao Hu's personal soldier, and his rank was only a second lieutenant, and he was happy to see Wang Lin give so much reward: "Thank you Wang Garrison, congratulations to Wang Garrison for being promoted!" After the soldier finished speaking, he rode after the large group and went after him.

Zhao Hu walked very slowly with a large number of prisoners, and did not arrive in Miyun until September 15, Li Yuanyin received the news that he had rushed to Miyun and waited for Zhao Hu here.

Entering Miyun County, Zhao Hu first went to meet Li Yuanyin, and Li Yuanyin stood at the door to welcome Zhao Hu.

"General Zhao, I heard that you have made great contributions, and you have worked hard along the way!"

Zhao Hu smiled bitterly: "Hey! Although the Manchu Empress Dowager was captured, it was really a fly in the ointment to let the Manchu Emperor escape! ”

"Where, nothing is perfect, and that's good! Fast into the house, Ben Shuai has prepared a reception banquet for General Zhao! ”

Zhao Hu handed over the horse to his own soldiers, and then followed Li Yuanyin into the house together!

There is nothing good to eat here in Miyun, Li Yuanyin just prepared a simple side stove, that is, mutton shabu in the Ming Dynasty. Frozen lamb is cut into paper-thin pieces, cooked in a copper pot and dipped in sauce, which is also delicious in this winter.

Zhao Hu is a native of the south, although he was born in Wuchang, Huguang, but grew up in Guangzhou, and it is the first time he has eaten this Mongolian-style side stove. Li Yuanyin is a native of Henan, and when he was a child, the conditions at home were not bad, and he had eaten this kind of side stove.

The two chatted while eating, and the words slowly turned to the current situation. Now that the Manchus have been wiped out, Liaodong has returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and there are basically no major wars in the whole country except for Sichuan and Shaanxi. According to the estimation of Li Yuanyin and these warriors, the emperor should seal the princes!

Zhao Hu is the prince, and he is a concubine, so he has no expectations for whether he will be sealed or not. But Li Yuanyin doesn't think so, he is still only a prince of the county, although he can inherit the throne in the future, but how can the inherited throne be as good as his own hard work, so Li Yuanyin is still looking forward to the reward.

There was no one else in the house except for the two, and Li Yuanyin did not call Zhao Hu an official position in order to get closer: "Brother-in-law, what reward do you say our Beijing Emperor can give this time?" ”

Zhao Hu was stunned when he heard Li Yuanyin say this, and asked, "Dashuai, you are the prince of the prince, what else do you want to reward?" ”

"Brother-in-law, there is no one in the house, you don't need to call me an official position, just call me brother-in-law!" Li Yuanyin drank a glass of wine and said: "Brother-in-law, you see, my life is shaded, the eldest husband doesn't want to make contributions, I have two sons, and I still want to earn a reputation for my second child!" ”

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that Li Chengdong's king of Jianning County could only be passed on to his eldest son, and the other sons had to be named Liujue, that is, the title of the first was lower than that of the first, and it was reduced to the commoners. But if Li Yuanyin makes meritorious service and is given a hereditary title by the emperor, then this title can be passed on to the second son, so that the descendants of the two sons are guaranteed.

Zhao Hu was amused in his innocence when he heard what Li Yuanyin said, do you think that the emperor's father-in-law is so easy to speak? Say that if you are given a title, you will be given a title? You must know that your Li Yuanyin's godson Li Chengdong killed the queen back then, although the emperor said that he was not to blame in the past, but Zhao Hu knew that this emperor was famous for his careful eyes, and he could say whatever he wanted for the general trend of the world back then, but it was difficult to say after the world was peaceful!

However, Zhao Hu and Li Yuanyin have a general relationship, and the two belong to different camps, Zhao Hu is the prince's party, and Li Yuanyin is the person of Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, so Zhao Hu decided not to say it too thoroughly.

"Dashuai, my Lao Zhao doesn't want to fight anyway, as for the offspring, that's their business, in the future, Lao Zhao and I close my eyes, what will happen after death, they can eat well if they can earn it, and they will eat bad if they can't earn it!"

Zhao Hu is an old Zhao, in fact, Zhao Hu is only twenty-eight years old, and his wife, the eldest princess Zhu Luo, is only twenty-five years old, so Li Yuanyin was very surprised to hear Zhao Hu say this.

"Brother-in-law, why do you think so now that you are less than a year old? Do you want to hide at home and be an apartment in the future? ”

Seeing the political novice Li Yuanyin say this, Zhao Hu sighed in his heart, feeling that he and Li Yuanyin were born and died together in the past few years, although the relationship is average, it is not bad, let's reveal it to him!

"Dashuai, you and I are both horses, the court law stipulates that horses are not allowed to hold official positions, there was no way to do the chaos in the world before, you and I can lead the troops outside, now the world is peaceful, you and I should let go!" Zhao Hu said this very tactfully, there is a prince standing behind both of them, Zhao Hu is still the eldest brother of the crown prince, how can the emperor rest assured that the army will be handed over to you in this relationship? Therefore, the queen of Beijing will definitely be relieved of the military power and become a rich man!

Li Yuanyin was still thinking of making meritorious contributions, and now he felt the same when he heard Zhao Hu say this, and hurriedly asked: "Brother-in-law, can the emperor remove our military power this time?" ”

Zhao Hu smiled, took a sip of wine and said: "Look at the past few days, the emperor's holy decree should come down, if we are allowed to go to Beijing, then it will be eight or nine and ten!" ”

Li Yuanyin was also very heavy when he heard Zhao Hu say this, and for a while, the two people in the room had nothing to say.

Things were just as Zhao Hu expected, three days after the army was repaired in Miyun, the emperor's holy decree came. The holy decree is very simple, Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu have worked hard, now give you a chance to show your face, take the Manchu captives to Jingxian prisoners, but don't bring 50,000 cavalry, stay in Miyun, and wait for the new Governor of the Left Army, Ma Liang, to send someone to receive them.

Li Yuanyin's fiery heart cooled as soon as he saw that the holy decree said this, and the fact was just like what Zhao Hu said, the emperor began to gather military power, and he could not lead troops if he was not from the emperor's lineage.

Although Li Yuanyin was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't help it, although he was the commander of the cavalry, but his subordinates were all cronies of the emperor, as long as he had any changes, these guys under him would be able to capture him immediately, and there was no way Li Yuanyin had to take his own soldiers and Zhao Hu to Beijing to offer prisoners.
