After Chongzhen went down to the court, he learned that Yu Fang's family had not left the palace, so he was not in a hurry to see the queen, and later heard that the queen had left Fang Ziyi for lunch, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Summoning Fang Ziyi to show favor was entirely because of Yu Guozhen, in Chongzhen's original idea, it would be great to keep her for about half an hour, but he didn't expect it to be almost a whole day.

This made him more and more curious, and later he simply sent a little eunuch to guard it, and he summoned several civil and military generals who were guarding the city one by one to inquire about the vigilance. It's all things that are asked a few times a time, and Chongzhen also feels a little bored, but if he doesn't stare at it, he doesn't know what tricks these people will play.

In the evening, the little eunuch finally came to report that Yu Fang's family had left the palace, so Chongzhen let go of the exhausted ministers and hurried to Kunning Palace.

I heard Zhu Yujiao's cheerful laughter from a distance, this voice was extremely pleasant, and Chongzhen was also infected when he heard it, even in the current situation, he smiled bitterly.

"It seems that the Yu Fang clan is very good, and the queen even left her to eat." After playing with Zhu Yujiao for a while, Chongzhen said to Queen Zhou.

Queen Zhou nodded: "It is indeed a beautiful girl, she knows etiquette with every gesture, and she is very modest, Kun Xing likes her very much." is a concubine, and I also feel that her person is like a zhi and an orchid, although she doesn't say much, but she is fragrant and charming. ”

To get such an evaluation in the mouth of Queen Zhou, it is quite a remarkable thing.

Empress Zhou pondered for a long time and asked softly: "There is one thing, today Kunxing wants Yu Jimin to be her master. ”

Chongzhen smiled dumbly when he heard this: "Child, how can the minister come to be a master for the princess...... Well? ”

He knew that Empress Zhou's words were not without reason, and mentioning Zhu Yujiao's words didn't just make him laugh. He turned his head away, but Queen Zhou pursed her lips and refused to say anything.

"Cihong, ah......" Chongzhen suddenly realized.

Zhu Cihong, the son of Empress Zhou, was made the crown prince in the third year of Chongzhen, and he is now seven years old. Chongzhen has been anxious about the affairs of the court all these years, and he has inevitably paid less attention to this son, and at this time, he suddenly remembered that it was time to choose a class for the prince to lecture on the official.

"That's a great idea!"

Chongzhen had been struggling with his brain before, in addition to rewarding Tian Zhai, what other way to envelop Yu Guozhen. The queen's reminder lifted his spirits: if Yu Guozhen is appointed as the prince's lecturer, then he can be regarded as the prince's teacher, and the two have a teacher-student relationship, and he is worried that he will not work hard for the Zhu family's royal family in the future?

Moreover, Yu Guozhen is only twenty years old this year, nearly ten years younger than himself, and there are few long-lived people in the Ming Dynasty.

"I already understand what the queen is worried about. However, it is not easy to let Yu Jimin speak as the crown prince......"

Chongzhen thinks more, there are not many beauties in his harem, except for the queen, Tian Guifei is the most favored, and Tian Guifei has many heirs, although the queen is generous, she always has to make some plans for her own flesh and blood. If Yu Guozhen really becomes Cihong's speaker, then the prince will have a usable person in his hands...... Then Chongzhen came to his senses from his imagination.

Yu Guozhen has no interest in being an official, his surname is also a little narrow, and his surname is too heavy, so he is not suitable for being the prince.

In a short period of time, Chongzhen found many shortcomings in Yu Guozhen, which made him hesitate.

Yu Guozhen didn't care about Chongzhen pondering whether to make him a prince in the palace, his main energy was still focused on Jiannu.

Since the last battle of Zaolin Village, Jiannu has become much more cautious, and Yu Guozhen has not found a chance to fight for a long time. On the contrary, it was Jiannu, quite successful: on July 21, they besieged Dingxing, and on July 27, they broke through the city and killed Lu Shanji, the former Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, who was at home but angrily entered the city to help.

"Let's take a closer look, whether the Jianyu Brigade has really left!"

Dingxing is a little far away from Jingshi, and Dingxing is surrounded by flat fields, at this time it has passed the wheat harvest season, the fields are empty, and if you want to get close to Jiannu without being discovered, you need certain skills. Therefore, when Huo Yan asked his companions around him, they were more than a mile away from the Jianyu people.

Fortunately, after the successful development of transparent glass, the telescope has been equipped in every shed of Huwei, so Huo Yan is a mile away, lying on the ground, and he can still clearly see Jianyu's actions.

"Be careful, be careful, a team of Jiannu is coming towards us, there are ...... Eighteen people, looking at their appearance, are a big fish! ”

Hearing the hurried voice of his companion beside him, Huo Yan raised the telescope again. There were six of them, all of them lying on the ground, and their clothes were grayish-yellow, the same color as the surrounding land, and they were not noticeable if they were not looked closely from a distance.

In the binoculars, he saw eighteen Jiannu in two teams, riding towards them.

"Keep your heads down and don't make a sound!" Huo Yan's own heart was pounding with nervousness, but according to the requirements of his usual training, he still gave orders to his subordinates.

After a while, the eighteen cavalry Jianyu arrived at a place only more than a hundred zhang away from them, they talked and laughed loudly, and their tone was rude, because they were speaking Manchu, Huo Yan couldn't understand it, so he naturally didn't know, what he saw was the two senior generals Tan Tai and Ah Shan in Jianyu.

"There are warriors among the Ming people, but these warriors are all old men."

"You're right, that Lu Shanji would rather die than surrender. I heard that the guards of Dingxing City were arranged by him, just one Dingxing, and we fought for six days, tsk......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, the meaning of Ah Shan's words was actually that he was dissatisfied with Azig's ability. Don't think that Jianlu is a straight man with a rough intestine, in fact, since Nurhachi, Jianyu has been proficient in all kinds of murderous infighting.

"When the army was discussed, Dorobel said that he would divide his troops and plunder, why didn't you say anything?" Tan Bai said to Ah Shan.

"I don't open my mouth, what can I say, I'm a slave, you are the master." Ahsan laughed.

Yanguli is a forehead and Tan Bai's brother, although Ahsan has the heart to be close to Yanguli, but he is also unwilling to be the first bird to provoke the anger of King Wuying.

"Looking at it now, the Ming people don't have to worry, only Wang Pu dares to fight, but after the last battle with us, he also shrank back." Tan Bai sneered twice: "Divide the troops and plunder, you only need to send more scouts and cavalry, and if you find out that the Ming army is moving, you will gather troops to destroy it, so you can have more gains, like now, it has been a month since you entered the customs, but you have only robbed thirty or forty thousand people, what is the use?" ”

They were scratching in private, but they did not dare to bring it to Azig and say that although Azig was young, his heart was arrogant, and if he was brought in front of him, he could only bring humiliation on himself.

"Shh......h

Seeing them gradually moving away from him, Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, when this group of Jianyu was closer, they were less than ten zhang away from him, if it weren't for the special training in the usual practice of the guard, he would almost be unable to hold back and jump away and escape.

"It seemed like an opportunity...... There are only a dozen Tartars, where are they going? ”

Huo Yan hesitated slightly, they were six people, and they could summon four people from a distance, and the other party was eighteen Tartars, and they all looked like elites. If you break out, you may be able to gain something, but you will inevitably have losses.

Looking at his companions around him, the light of ambition in his eyes faded slightly.

He was accompanied by a gang under his jurisdiction, and the relationship between everyone in the company was very close, even if there were some small disputes or the like, it didn't hurt their feelings. When he saw these big fish, he wanted to fight them, show his face in front of Yu Guozhen, and prove to him that he was no worse than Tian Boguang, Zhang Zheng and others, and he could also be on his own.

But if he was asked to pay the price of casualties among the people around him in exchange for this result, he really couldn't bear it.

At this moment, a guard beside him suddenly said: "It's moving, but it's gone, look!" ”

From the ruined Dingxing County in the distance, there were weeping and wailing and unbridled laughter, Huo Yan raised his binoculars, only to see a large group of people and horses out of the city, in the front was a group of cavalry from the Tartars, judging from the banner, it should be a blue flag. Immediately afterwards, a large number of captured Ming people, wept all the way, took three steps and one return, and were driven away from their homes.

Huo Yan stared at the Jianyu tightly, silently counting the number in his heart, and when he found that the number of Jianyu escorted exceeded three thousand, he could only sigh slightly.

Yu Guozhen said early that if the number of enemies exceeds 500, no matter how good the opportunity is, he can't do it, this is a dead rule. Therefore, although he took pity on these captive people, Huo Yan could only sigh and give up this opportunity.

There are more than 10,000 people who have been captured in Dingxing County, this is already the rear of the Tartar, Huo Yan was about to withdraw, but he heard a warning signal behind him: "The eighteen horsemen are here again!" ”

They lay in the middle of the field, and Tan Bai and Ah Shan and the others turned back again, and they didn't know what they had run to do. Huo Yan was a little curious in his heart, and after the eighteen people left, he made a gesture, and everyone walked in a prostrate manner, following the direction where Tan Bai and the others had just disappeared.

"Here...... Over here! ”

What they saw was a small village that had been destroyed and abandoned, but when they reached the entrance of the village, Huo Yan noticed a large number of wheel marks on the ground, proving that many cars had been haunted here.

Then they saw a group of silent prisoners, numbering about a thousand people.

"It turns out that Jianyu has ambushed people here!" Huo Yan muttered, "Can you see what that's doing?" ”

"It seems that the province of East Tibet that will be robbed is here." One humanity.

"I feel like food." Another home guard.

"Also, there are 100,000 people who build slaves, and people eat horses and chew ...... Wait a minute, what's that? ”

As they climbed on the trees, spying on the village through the branches and leaves, Huo Yan suddenly saw something that he had not thought of beforehand.

Seeing this, Huo Yan was overjoyed: this is a fish bigger than those Jiannu leaders!
