But Zhu Jian's words made Sun Chengzong fall into deep thought for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't know how long it took, but I only heard the voice of the little eunuch in the palace.

"A lamp!"

Zhu Jian looked outside the Qianqing Palace, and it was already a golden black pendant and a bright rabbit.

"What a beautiful moonlight!"

The moonlight in winter is even more cold, and of course, it is precisely because of the coldness that the arrogant gorgeousness of the silver moon at this time is even more revealed.

The dew is white tonight, the moon is the hometown of Ming, and now the month is still the moon, but where are you in your hometown?

"Mom and Dad, my son is not filial, you are good-"

Every time he looked at the moonlight outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jian's pain from the bottom of his heart was always faintly sad.

"Your Majesty, Sun Taibao, the banquet in the palace is ready to stop, and the courtiers have already entered the ranks."

At this moment, Cao Huachun came forward to report.

"Oh, Gonggong Cao, tell the ministers that I and the Taibao will arrive later."

Cao Huachun's words woke Zhu Jian up from his thoughts, but he smiled indifferently, and then said softly to Sun Chengzong, who was still staring at the defense map of the Beijing division hanging in the dormitory.

"Taibao, listed as a minister, is already waiting in the Qianqing Palace."

"Oh, Your Majesty, you see that the old minister is confused, confused!"

Hearing Zhu Jian's words, Sun Chengzong realized that time had passed unconsciously, three or four hours, and now it was the beginning of the lanterns.

"Taibao and I share worries, don't say that."

Zhu Jian still smiled.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something in mind, but he is only afraid of delaying His Majesty."

"Oh, Taibao is too worried, I am just to wash the dust for Taibao, so why not let them wait!"

Zhu Jian saw Sun Chengzong's hesitation, thinking that he must have a new view of the battle situation in Beijing, so he comforted the veteran, as for those guys who eat imperial food all day long and don't do anything, in Zhu Jian's opinion, why let them wait! After all, this emperor is still him Zhu Jian!

"Your Majesty, the old minister carefully weighed it before, but he thought that what His Majesty said, it was very true, but the old minister still thought that if our army connected the Sanhe, Shunyi, Tongzhou, and Jizhou defense lines, it would inevitably force Jiannu to retreat!"

"Oh, is the Taibao still insisting?"

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was still stubborn, Zhu Jian was a little unhappy in his heart, but he also knew the reason why Sun Chengzong insisted on his own theory, after all, as a general, his first consideration was to ensure the safety of the king.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jian had something to think in his heart, but he suddenly spoke.

"Taibao, don't care about this in advance, oh, by the way, in the eight alleys of the imperial city, there is a thing for sale everywhere, called wonton, also called copying hands, has Taibao ever known?"

Faced with the sudden = sentence of the saint, Sun Chengzong was obviously a little puzzled.

"Presumably, the saint is a little hungry in his stomach, and I'm afraid that's why he has this question."

Sun Chengzong said secretly in his heart.

With this plan in his heart, Sun Chengzong is the Tao.

"Wonton is the staple food of ordinary people in the north, Lao Chen is a native of Beizhili, he grew up eating this thing since he was a child, and according to Lao Chen's experience, this pork stuffing with leeks is the best."

Speaking of this, the corners of Sun Chengzong's eyes showed a slight drunkenness, and everyone could see that Sun Chengzong was still a little particular about this meal.

"Foodie!"

Zhu Jian secretly spat in his heart, but instead said with a smile.

"Taibao, I will have a good reference with Taibao in my spare time in the future, I am inconvenient to discuss today, but I want to know that since this wonton Taibao is familiar, I wonder if Taibao has ever known about the practice of this thing? I don't know how the Taibao would feel if they compared this Jiannu invasion with the wonton method! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Jian glanced at Sun Chengzong with some meaning.

"Your Majesty is going to—"

Sun Chengzong is a person, he is a veteran of the battlefield, it can be said that he has experienced more wars than Zhu Jian, naturally as soon as Zhu Jian's words came out, he immediately understood.

In fact, Zhu Jian's words, Sun Chengzong didn't think of it a long time ago, but let Jiannu approach the Beijing division and the soldiers came to the city, which was an idea he would never dare to have.

"Your Majesty, isn't this too risky?"

Sun Chengzong wanted to persuade Zhu Jian, although this plan is very good, but the risk is too great, if more than 100,000 soldiers of Jiannu are allowed to come to the city, or even to break the Jingshi, such a consequence is unacceptable to him Sun Chengzong.

Zhu Jian knew Sun Chengzong's concerns, but said with a smile.

"Taibao, people often say that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, not to mention that the imperial capital is well defended, and it is not so easy to invite me to Liaodong as a guest if you want to come to Jiannu!"

Although he said a joke in his mouth, Zhu Jian did not have such absolute confidence in his heart, although according to the trajectory of history, Huang Taiji was defeated, but now the trajectory here has been deflected, and no one knows what will happen next, because Zhu Jian is not a god, turning his hands over the clouds, turning the tide and saying it, it is always not true, the most important thing is how the defense of the city of Beijing is, and he has no confidence at all.

"It's time to go and see the three major battalions of the Beijing Division to get a feel for the confidence!"

Zhu Jian said secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has decided, the old minister can only use this remnant body to serve the battlefield!"

When Zhu Jian's words came to this, Sun Chengzong didn't want to say anything, Sun Chengzong understood that after all, the head of the Ming Dynasty was still the young son of heaven in front of him, since the Son of Heaven was not afraid of death, why did he bother to do this, not to mention that if such a decision was made for the entire Ming Dynasty, it would be excellent.

"Okay, okay, Taibao, it's over, it's over, the banquet has begun, I see, I'll go to the banquet first!"

But it was said that it was in the palace.

When everyone saw the old minister Sun Chengzong and Zhu Jian coming out hand in hand, they didn't say anything polite.

However, at this moment, the hall has already been lit up, although there is a singing and dancing, but the news of Houjin's entry into the customs still makes the atmosphere a little depressing.

Of course, what made those ministers a little confused the most was what was in front of them - three dishes and one soup.

A plate of greens, a plate of vinegared radish skins, a plate of pork belly, and a light of lard radish soup, with a handful of coriander flowers floating outside.

"What is the emperor's trouble?"

However, for Zhu Jian, it was these simple meals that also made him feel pain, from the cabinet department to the ministers of the six ministries, down to the imperial historian, and the six departments to the affairs of the general administration......

But all the Beijing officials above the fifth grade Zhu Jian have been invited, these hundreds of people come down, it is also hundreds of taels of white flowers, if this is used in the deserted land, it is thousands of lives!

But these guys who eat imperial food are still disgusted, and Zhu Jian is angry when he thinks of this, but today is a banquet for Sun Chengzong, and he is not good at destroying the atmosphere.

"Taibao, when the state is in danger, it is a little simple, and I hope that Taibao will not be surprised!"

After raising his glass, Zhu Jian smiled at Sun Chengzong on the side of the next one.

"Your Majesty is serious, but the old minister is ashamed, but His Majesty's requirements for himself are too bitter, and the old minister thinks that it is better to hold fewer banquets in the future, so it is better to give Your Majesty a good breath."

After drinking the wine in the cup, Sun Chengzong was a little heartfelt.

"Taibao is serious, how dare I be treated as a minister, I would rather be a hardship for myself, than for thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty to suffer, and of course I don't want to be wronged as a minister."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jian looked at the Donglin Shi people on the other side with some meaning.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou got up and said.

"Your Majesty, your concern for the common people in the world is the blessing of the community, the blessing of the people of the world, and the blessing of us, but Your Majesty's daily life is too hard, but it makes me ashamed and dare not speak!"

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou became more and more excited, either Zhu Jian's words to him before touched him a lot, or the wine was a little intoxicating.

Seeing Hong Chengchou like this, Zhu Jian didn't persuade him, but he raised his glass and smiled, as for those ministers, seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, naturally he didn't dare to come out and say anything.

With the strength of wine, Hong Chengchou is more and more energetic.

"Rank ministers, now luxury has become a trend in Shilin, a meal of food is a hundred taels, and some of my Ming people are still living in dire straits, the rank may have lived in Beijing for a long time, I don't know the situation on the three sides, Hong has followed Inspector Yang for many years, I have seen a lot, I have heard a lot, and now in the year of the drought in Shaanxi, some people sell their children and girls, but they can only barely read by eating grass roots——"

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou was a little choked in his words, and a dignified man was sitting there sobbing vigorously, but it made people a little panicked.

"Lord Liu, this-"

Seeing Hong Chengchou like this, Qian Longxi unconsciously pushed Liu Hongxun on the side, after all, Hong Chengchou was recommended by him Liu Hongxun.

"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Hong is saying it from within."

Liu Hongxun was also a little emotional, but the most important thing was that he saw the emperor at this time, and he seemed to be a little emotional there.

At this time, Zhu Jian was actually a little emotional, in his previous life, his ancestors were also ordinary farmers in China, and he had unusual feelings for such a simple word.

"Rank ministers, Your Majesty shrinks clothes and diets every day, how can we, as courtiers, be extravagant, so Hong suggests that in the future, these three dishes and one soup will be a model of my Ming Shilin officialdom, what do the ministers think?"

"Good! Hong Aiqing's words are exactly what I want! ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou's words landed, there was a burst of applause, everyone looked over, but they saw where their emperor was clapping and saying yes, some officials who were used to eating and drinking in the past, seeing this, but they put their heads together one by one, and no longer spoke, everyone knew their own master's temperament, and the vigorous and resolute action when Wei Zhongxian was removed, as well as the thunderbolt method, everyone remembered it vividly.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the minister is the history of the household Langzhong, what Lord Hong said just now, the minister listened to it really, it is all heartfelt words, but the minister thinks that this is far from enough, according to the minister, since the trilateral finances are scarce now, Your Majesty should not set up a temporary organization to raise money and food to solve the temporary worries of the three sides!"
