Recently, Emperor Chongzhen, who has unloaded most of his power, began to care about family affection, especially Zhu Yousong's death, which made him feel a lot, and he slowly showed his fatherly love for Zhu Yujiao and Zhu Cihuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Zhu Yujiao didn't want Zhu Youzhen to be too sad because of King Fu's affairs, and even blamed Li Hongfei, so she simply lived in the palace these days, planning to accompany Zhu Youzhen more.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was rare for Li Hongfei to return home so early today, but he found that in the huge courtyard, in addition to the housekeeper and servants, only Chen Yuanyuan and Qi Hongying remained.

"How do I feel that instead of bringing you happiness, this extreme minister has made you more and more lonely? There's a saying......... That's right, alone. Qi Hongying discovered Li Hongfei's abnormality.

"You're right, I was alone in the first few decades, and then I survived in the troubled times, and I had to desperately calculate, even if the world was peaceful, but because of the big tree, I could only continue to climb up if I wanted to save my life, until I stood at the peak of this power."

"Call me hypocritical, call me pretentious, power seems to me to be the life-sustaining poison, without it, I will die immediately without a place to be buried, and with it, I am destined to have no friends around me."

"Now that I think about it, it was still the days when a few of us fled south from the capital, and we had the most fulfilling life." Li Hongfei said with emotion.

Now standing at the pinnacle of power, Li Hongfei has suffered from gains and losses.

When he had just crossed the Ming Dynasty, the whole country was in danger, and the most terrible thing was that he was labeled as Zhu Youzhen as soon as he came over.

Li Hongfei didn't want to die, so he could only use Zhu Youzhen's energy to climb up quickly.

From a small prefect to a small prefect, until the victory in the defense of Nanjing, Li Hongfei became a prince with 100,000 troops.

I thought the overall situation had been decided and I could breathe a sigh of relief...........

In order to save his life, or in order to keep his hard-won power, Li Hongfei had to take another path and go farther and farther..........

The life of intrigue has led Li Hongfei to define the people around him as two kinds: allies who can be used, and enemies who cannot be co-opted.

Six years have passed, and there are almost no friends who can really make friends with him.

Two wives, one is rewarded, and the other is a political marriage, if you want to talk about feelings, you really can't talk about it, otherwise after such a long time, it is impossible not to even have a child.

With Li Hongfei's status today, perhaps only Qi Hongying is the only one who dares to speak out about him.

"Among the few people who went south at the beginning, the emperor was set up by you, Dongchang Wang Chengen also became a marginal person, and the commander of the Jinyi Wei Wang was forced to hang himself, except for Sister Yuanyuan who was included in the room by you, it seems that Guo Sheng's kid is not bad now." Qi Hongying also recalled the bits and pieces of six years ago.

There is one more thing she didn't say, that is, she herself also chose to hand over the military power because of Li Hongfei.

"I seem to love crossing the river and tearing down bridges, don't you still have it! Tell me, what kind of official you want to be, as long as you say it, I will arrange it for you immediately. Li Hongfei said generously.

The two talked about the past, which made Li Hongfei no longer worry about the previous troubles.

Since he stands at the pinnacle of the power of the Ming Dynasty, what's the harm of being willful once in a while?

Suffering from gains and losses, and calculating too much, isn't it the same as Zhu Youzhen at the beginning?

This time, Li Hongfei finally thought about it, even if Qi Hongying asked to be the Minister of National Defense, Li Hongfei would not hesitate to agree.

"Forget it, it's not easy for Daming to have the current situation, there's no need to make it difficult for you for me, give me a useless title, let me return home." Qi Hongying said.

She knew very well why Li Hongfei had not arranged a position for herself, and she was able to become the chief soldier of Jiangsu and Zhejiang at the beginning, not because Zhu Youzhen took a fancy to her talent, but because the other party just wanted to use this to win over the Qi family's army.

Later, a series of encounters made Qi Hongying understand that a woman in the Ming Dynasty, even if she worked ten times harder, she didn't want to be recognized by the world.

"It's not time to return home, and it just so happens that a new instructor has recently been formed, who is responsible for the inspection and tactical innovation of new weapons......... Or you'll be in charge. Li Hongfei said.

With a military talent like Qi Hongying, Li Hongfei can't give up easily.

Although Qi Hongying was reduced from the commander-in-chief of the group army to a division commander at once, don't underestimate this instructor.

Which of the generals of the Ming National Defense Force today did not come out of the military academy?

Even Li Hongfei served as the dean of the Nanjing Military Academy at the beginning, and the fact that all the instructors recruited from the military academy shows its importance.

The purpose of Li Hongfei's formation of the instructor is very simple, that is, to build it into a training base for senior generals of the Ministry of National Defense.

Moreover, the instructor also cooperates with the Weapons Research Institute, and any new weapon will be equipped with this unit as soon as possible, although the purpose is only to test the performance of the new weapon and formulate corresponding strategies and tactics.

But it allows soldiers to constantly broaden their horizons and integrate what they have learned before they officially enter the army.

Only by combining the two can military academies learn theoretical knowledge and teach instructors to conduct actual combat tests can they train generals who can fight well for the Ministry of National Defense.

Such an important position, Li Hongfei originally wanted to concurrently hold it himself, because in addition to him, any general in the Ming Dynasty who came into contact with new weapons might have to take a lot of detours.

But then Li Hongfei also figured it out, he is a human being, not a god, it is impossible to protect the Ming Dynasty forever, and now there is not much threat within the Ming Dynasty, and it is not impossible to occasionally take a detour to learn a lesson.

"Mentor? Isn't this the equivalent of the post of president of the Military Academy? Are you really relieved to put me in charge of this army? Qi Hongying couldn't believe it.

Hearing Li Hongfei's explanation, how could Qi Hongying not understand the stakes.

If the military academy is the cradle for the training of officers on active duty, then the instructor will be the holy place for the training of reserve commanders.

After all, since the implementation of the six-year compulsory education system, a large number of students in Daming will be admitted to military academies every year, and the military establishment is limited, and it is impossible for all students who have graduated from military academies to serve in the army.

Then the tutor will become another choice for these students, in the words of later generations, it is equivalent to the postgraduate entrance examination.

Even if a large-scale war breaks out, any ordinary soldier in the instructor will be an officer at or above the company level, and according to the scale of a company of 120 people, as long as the army is expanded, with 10,000 instructors as the skeleton, in three or five years, there will be no problem at all to pull up an army of one million people.

If it is a rebellion, as long as you have enough money and control of this army, the chances of success will increase by at least 50%.

With such a sharp weapon in Qi Hongying's hands, can Qi Hongying not be shocked?

"Of course I'm relieved, because you're my only friend." Li Hongfei said sincerely.

In this world, there are almost no people who can make Li Hongfei fully trust, but he only believes that no matter what, Qi Hongying will not harm him.

"Is it just a friend?" Qi Hongying couldn't help but mutter.

"What did you say?" Li Hongfei asked.

"No........ Nothing, I mean think about it first, and I'll get back to you in two days. Qi Hongying's mind was a little confused, and she couldn't agree to the other party for a while.

"Well, anyway, it's just a shelf now, and there is only one battalion in the first batch of soldiers, so don't be too anxious." Li Hongfei said.

The regular classes of the Military Academy, each term (two sessions a year) only enroll 500 people, now the Ministry of National Defense has just been disarmed, this class of students can not enter the army after graduation, plus the Beijing Military Academy has also begun to recruit students one after another, the instructor does not have any military source now, but within three years, it will be able to reach the full scale here.

.............

After the two discussed the matter, they entered the inner hall to dine together.

From moving to the capital to the present, Li Hongfei doesn't know how many times he has eaten with Chen Yuanyuan, and he is often busy until late at night, and he rarely even goes home.

During the banquet, Qi Hongying and Chen Yuanyuan chatted happily, and Li Hongfei occasionally interjected, which can be regarded as coping with things.

"I'm full, you eat slowly."

Soon, Li Hongfei filled his stomach and wanted to slip away, because he suddenly felt that he had nothing to talk about with Chen Yuanyuan.

"Don't! It's still early, why are you going? Qi Hongying stopped Li Hongfei.

"Sleep!" Li Hongfei said as a matter of course.

"I'm going to sleep just after eating, are you a pig?" Qi Hongying didn't have a good airway.

"What if it weren't?"

Li Hongfei also felt that the time was still early, and it looked like it was just over five o'clock in the afternoon and less than six o'clock in the afternoon.

But when the two women were talking, he really didn't know what to say, and he couldn't seem to think of anything else to do but sleep.

In this era of no mobile phones, no TV, and no Internet, people's entertainment projects, in addition to casinos, green houses, and teahouses, are only left to make people at home.

However, when it comes to creating people, Li Hongfei is very helpless in his heart, he doesn't have much affection for Zhu Yujiao, and he has always respected each other since he got married, but fortunately, the ancients were easy to fool, especially the royal children, if there was no reminder from the old female official, he might not even know what the cave room meant.

Zhu Yujiao thought that as long as he held hands and slept together, it would be a cave room, and Li Hongfei would not break it, after all, he was still guarding against Zhu Yujiao's Lao Tzu at that time, how could he really have a round room with Zhu Yujiao.

As for the few years of marriage, there has been no movement........ Chen Yuanyuan was by Li Hongfei's side earlier, didn't his stomach move?

Well, although Zhu Yujiao is simple and doesn't know what sex is, she still knows a little about infertility.

And the reason why Chen Yuanyuan is not pregnant is because he is a veteran of the party and knows how to use contraception.

In addition, she is very conservative in her thinking, and she is not even pregnant with her wife, how dare Chen Yuanyuan take the lead...........

As a result, Li Hongfei was ruthlessly cut off even the last bit of entertainment for creating people, and the only thing left was to eat and sleep in addition to work.

"Why don't we listen to the music, Sister Yuanyuan is a talented person, I've been here for so long, and I haven't heard Sister Yuanyuan sing, and today is just the right time to see and learn." Qi Hongying proposed.

Chen Yuanyuan can sing and dance well and is talented, Qi Hongying has long known this, but no matter how much he pleaded during this time, Chen Yuanyuan just didn't agree.

Say anything only when Li Hongfei is present, she will sing and dance.

As a woman, but without the slightest attraction, Qi Hongying had to learn from Chen Yuanyuan, and she finally seized the opportunity today, so she naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Okay, okay, just listen to you, it's because you're a woman, otherwise I wouldn't have robbed my daughter-in-law with me for you!" Li Hongfei didn't have a good airway.

"If I were a man, such a marked little lady, I would really have to fight with you."

Qi Hongying's praise made Chen Yuanyuan's pretty face on the side blush slightly, and she glanced at Li Hongfei with beautiful eyes, and then said slowly: "The concubine hasn't touched the qin for some time, and I don't know if the piano skills are rusty, and I hope that my husband will forgive me." ”

It's not just some time, because Li Hongfei doesn't like this kind of elegant tune very much, Chen Yuanyuan has rarely touched the strings since he followed Li Hongfei.

Occasionally, when no one is around, I play the piano alone, which is also to prevent the piano from being rusty.

The piano can still be practiced when no one is around, but this singing skill can't be stolen, and now Li Hongfei wants to listen to the music, Chen Yuanyuan said that it is impossible not to be nervous.

"It's okay, I don't understand this thing anyway, as long as Sister Hongying likes to listen to it." Li Hongfei didn't care.

..........

This sentence made Chen Yuanyuan's whole face change, but fortunately, she had an outstanding temperament and a good self-cultivation, and she came back to her senses in just a moment.

Waiting for Chen Yuanyuan to prepare, Qi Hongying despised Li Hongfei and said: "Bai Ding vulgar, it's really disappointing." ”

Qi Hongying is holding grievances for Chen Yuanyuan, a woman is willing to sing for only one person and dance for one person, how deep feelings do you have to pay.

As a result, the other party was unmoved, and even bluntly said that he didn't like it, and it was strange that Qi Hongying didn't despise it.

"You yourself are like a gentleman, aren't you also a woman." Li Hongfei retorted.

Li Hongfei is clever in political methods, and he is not an idiot in terms of daring to love, he understands Chen Yuanyuan's intentions, but he really doesn't like music, or ancient music.

In his bones, Li Hongfei still regards himself as a modern person, and he is still very repulsive to the cultural atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also why he is engaged in all kinds of seemingly deviant changes and innovations.

Only from the new political system can he find common ground, find a sense of existence.

Especially in the army or weapons research institute, hearing a regiment commander or battalion commander and seeing a rear-loading rifle or mortar made him feel like he was back in his hometown and back in a familiar environment.

Li Hongfei strives to change the world, just to make himself no longer lonely.

Chen Yuanyuan had already started singing on stage, and her crisp voice like a yellow warbler was very pleasant, but at this moment, Qi Hongying was listening carefully, after all, she was a "female man" who wanted to make herself more feminine.

Li Hongfei, on the other hand, fell asleep while listening to it, and Mingqu is tantamount to an obscure opera for him, and the hypnotic effect is quite good..........
