Late at night, in the West Garden, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting silently in the fine house watching the performance. (.marshmallow)

If you talk about diligence, Emperor Chongzhen should be in the top three among the kings of the Ming Dynasty, second only to Taizu and Chengzu. In addition, he is diligent and thrifty, values civil officials, abolishes factories and guards, and exempts the people of the world from commercial taxes, no matter how you look at it, he is worthy of the four words of a promising king.

But things are so strange, no matter how diligent he is, this state affairs are getting worse day by day.

And the body has also deteriorated because of long-term staying up late and hard work.

At this moment, because he had been reading for a long time, he only felt that his eyes were dry, and his body was so soft that he couldn't lift his spirits.

He didn't expect that the reason why Taizu and Chengzu were so diligent was because Taizu and Chengzu were extremely strong, and both of them fought on the battlefield. Cheng Zu is even more handsome. Emperor Chongzhen was born in the deep palace since he was a child, and his four bodies were not diligent, how could he compare with the two ancestors of the dragon spirit and the tiger?

After a few days of sunshine, it was cold again this night.

The strong wind blew from the palace, from the Yuyuan Pond, and from the roof of the Jingshe, sharp and poignant, and it made people's hearts feel sorry.

In order to save, there is no earth dragon in the house, only the charcoal in the small copper furnace is faintly red.

How can this poor fire withstand the cold of the Xiaoice River period.

The room was as cold as an ice cellar, and with every breath, a long white breath would be spewed out in front of the mouth and nose

。 Even the candle flame seemed to be unable to stand the cold, and shrunk into a small dot like a bean.

Emperor Chongzhen gently stomped his feet to keep warm while flipping through the folds with his cold fingers.

I didn't look at one or two copies, so I put my hand in front of my mouth and took a breath, and then rubbed a few handfuls vigorously.

Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, was already so cold that his feet were numb, and when he saw the Son of Heaven frozen like this, his heart felt sour, and he said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon's body, or let the slaves and maids order the earth dragon first?" ”

"How cold is this, what kind of earth dragon is burned?" Chongzhen snorted lightly: "Even if it is ordered now, it will take an hour or two for the house to warm up, how much charcoal will be wasted?" Now that the capital is under martial law, prices are expensive, and this charcoal has not risen to the sky? I remember that when I bought charcoal in the forbidden period, I got two taels of silver for every catty. (Marshmallow provides Txt free download) I am comfortable on fire, at the end of the day, how can I have to burn hundreds of pounds of charcoal, how much does it cost to pay? It's enough to pay a hundred soldiers on the front line for a year, and I can't bear it! ”

Wang Chengen was speechless for a while, charcoal was only a dozen dollars a pound outside the palace, but once it was purchased in the palace, after many people changed hands and deducted everywhere, it became two taels of silver. These people have never felt distressed when they spend the emperor's money, but they are pitiful and long-lived, but they are just boiling up for a hundred or ten catties of charcoal every day.

However, this is the unspoken rule in the palace, setting up several yamen, and the livelihood and interests of dozens of people. Even if he was the minister of ceremonies, he didn't dare to pierce this layer of window paper.

Thinking of this, he looked at the patched cotton robe on Emperor Chongzhen's body again, his heart was sour, and there was hot liquid oozing out of his eyes, and he couldn't help choking.

Emperor Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen's grief, put down the fold in his hand, and rubbed his hands again: "You old slave, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Chengen's tears finally fell: "Slave maid...... Seeing that the Lord was so hard, the slave maid was very sad in her heart, and she didn't realize that she had lost her honor in front of the king, and His Majesty forgave her sins

。 (Long live Lord, you are wearing billions of living beings, if you freeze to death, how can you be good? ”

"Okay, okay, you old slave, I'm in the prime of life, what's the point of being cold. In my opinion, it's better to be cold, this cold, people will be refreshed, and they will not be so sleepy. Emperor Chongzhen comforted Wang Chengen a few words, and sighed: "It's cold here, aren't the soldiers outside the city cold...... Alright, alright, I have good news here. ”

Speaking of this, Chongzhen became happy and handed over a fold: "Then Liu Yuliang is also old and confused, a good teacher, but he is going to become a reader, in the end, he is still afraid and regrets." ”

Wang Chengen took the excerpt: "This Liu Pavilion is too unforgiving, and it is quite undignified." ”

"It's not just unseemly, it's just a shame." Chongzhen said with a smile: "It's really a big disappointment, what is the use of me taking such a corpse vegetarian meal?" I was going to spend a few days, so I sent him back to his hometown. But he didn't want to, just now this Liu Yuliang handed in another fold, saying that he would go out of the city at dawn tomorrow to see the division, and if Jiannu didn't withdraw for a day, he wouldn't enter the city for a day. Hehe, he's got the courage now. ”

Wang Chengen only glanced at it, then read the excerpt and returned it to the emperor, and smiled on his face: "It was about Liu Ge Lao who was grateful for His Majesty's kindness and was shocked by the long-lived Tianwei, and then he repented." There is a cabinet of ministers who supervise the army, and the officers and men of the three armies dare not fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”

Hearing Wang Chengen's untraceable compliment, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, and after a while, Chongzhen yawned when the fold in hand had been almost approved, "I'm tired, let's be like this today, I'm also tired." ”

At this time, a eunuch who was the master of ceremonies walked quickly into the room outside, and looked very anxious when he looked at him.

But because Wang Chengen and the emperor were talking in the retreat, it was not easy to make a mistake.

Standing behind the threshold, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Chengen, and quietly raised a fold in his hand.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand at Wang Chengen: "Go, I will rest soon, and I don't need you to serve here." He reached out to serve the cup of hot tea that Wang Chengen gave him, hugged it between his hands, and felt the pleasant warmth.

Wang Chengen knew that the eunuch had urgent official business, so he hurriedly walked out and asked in a low voice: "What time is this, and what is the big deal?" ”

The eunuch also suppressed his voice: "Godfather, the front line is urgent, 100,000 are urgent."

。 ”

"100,000 urgent?" Wang Chengen thought that the Ming army had suffered defeat on the front line again, and couldn't help frowning.

The eunuch saw that Wang Chengen's face was ugly, and said with a smile: "Godfather, you are thinking badly, but this time it is an unprecedented victory." The Bohai Institute of Xuanfu Town, with 2,000 foot soldiers, broke 5,000 Jiannu and beheaded more than 1,200 levels, which is good news. ”

"Ding!" There was a crunch.

Wang Chengen and the eunuch turned around at the same time, but saw that the cup in Emperor Chongzhen's hand had fallen to the ground and fell into pieces: "What, a great victory, behead more than 1,200 levels." ”

Before the words fell, Emperor Chongzhen had already dropped the cotton robe draped over his shoulders, strode over, and snatched the good news.

"Hooray, be careful not to be cold, lamp, lamp, lamp!" Wang Chengen shouted loudly.

Several eunuchs rushed in when they heard this, and a candlelight came up to Chongzhen, revealing a face full of blush and almost distorted with excitement.

"Okay, well, beheading 1,200 levels, this is the best news I've heard in the past two months." There was a tremor in the Emperor's voice.

"Two thousand foot soldiers broke five thousand Jiannu, and one thousand two hundred were beheaded, is it a false report?" Wang Chengen has been an internal minister for so many years, and he can see much more about the military heroes below who falsely report their military exploits, how can he not understand.

For example, the Guangning Army in Liaodong obviously only beheaded one or two levels, but if you hug it, you dare to multiply it a hundred times, and make up a few hundred. When it came to the fortunate governor's hand, it had to be multiplied tenfold. After the good news arrived in Beijing, the military headquarters doubled, and dared to report and kill tens of thousands of enemies.

As a result, the Ming army fought with Jiannu for decades, and the front line reported that the harvest had accumulated to 100,000.

Just kidding, there are only a few people in the Eight Banners of Jiannu. It is said that Jiannu is already scarce, and after deducting the old and weak women and children, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people who can go into battle. In other words, from the year of the Apocalypse to the present, Jiannu has been slaughtered by the Ming army several times.

But the problem is here, not only was Jiannu not slaughtered, but the more they fought, the stronger they became, the more they fought.

Now this good news, maybe there is a lot of water in it, at least ninety percent of it has to be squeezed out. One thousand two hundred, a hundred is considered good

。

Chongzhen is naturally also a shrewd person, and said with a smile: "Even if there is some exaggeration in it, and there is even a suspicion of making up the numbers with people and auxiliaries, it can be regarded as great news." "There are no fish in the clear pond, and sometimes it is okay to be confused. As a monarch, sometimes you should be generous to others.

Even if only a hundred are beheaded, it is a very remarkable achievement. I think that at the beginning, 100,000 Guanning iron cavalry fought with the old slave in Liaodong, and such a big battle was only a few levels of beheading.

Speaking of which, this Xuanfu town soldier of the Bohai Institute is really remarkable.

"Long live the lord, the heads of the 1,200-level Jiannu have all been sent to the city, and after the inspection of the military department, they are indeed the leaders of the enemy, among them, there are more than 500 Zhenyi, this is undoubted."

"What, all the real enemies?" At this moment, Wang Chengen couldn't help but widen his eyes, couldn't help but take a long breath, and muttered: "How is it possible, how is it possible, two thousand border troops can defeat five thousand Jiannu, and they are so beheaded, is it wrong?" ”

But the eunuch said with certainty: "If it is another army, there may be water, but if it is the border army of the Bohai Institute, it is true." This is an iron army no less than the Qi family's army, not only the slaves and maids think it is true, but the military department and the cabinet did not raise the slightest question. ”

Wang Chengen was a little puzzled: "What did the border army of the Bohai Institute say?" ”

The eunuch: "If you go back to your father-in-law, you probably don't remember it, but the border army of the Bohai Institute has another name, called Ningxiang Army." ”

Wang Chengen clenched his fists and couldn't help but shout: "It turned out to be Sun Yuan's soldier, then it's no wonder, then it's no wonder." It is indeed an unprecedented victory, God bless me Daming, God bless me Daming, how did the old slave forget such a fierce flying tiger general! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was a little inexplicable: "Who is Sun Yuan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the eunuchs were embarrassed.

Sun Yuan has been extremely famous in the past two years, if it weren't for those reasons, with his merits. Not to mention the marquis, the uncle, and the chief military officer are all possible.

Unexpectedly, Long Live Lord didn't remember such a person.

However, Sun Yuan's situation in the past two years is inseparable from the emperor.
