Chapter 193: A Magical Picture

"Alas. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Thinking that two more girls were going to be ruined by Zuo Liangyu, Chen Hongfan sighed helplessly.

Since coming to Gucheng more than a month ago, this Zuo Liangyu's evil deeds have occurred again, the arsonists have abducted women in the local area, and his bandit soldiers have wandered outside every day, killing people and robbing money, ** plundering, it is simply all evil, Chen Hongfan wants to manage but does not dare to care, there is no way, he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Captain, this Jingshi is really big, I'm afraid it's dozens of times bigger than Ji'an Mansion." Niu Huan said as he drank tea

He was the first time to come to Beijing, from the small county town of Yongxin to Beijing, the largest city in the Ming Dynasty, and he was indeed shocked.

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Of course, after all, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the city where the emperor lives, and the officials and rich people who live in it are probably more than the people in the city of Ji'an, and it is not possible to be prosperous if you want to." ”

"Huh? In this way, the daily food in Beijing is probably tens of thousands of stones. Niu Huan asked.

"Almost! ......" Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

After another conversation, the store brought in the food and drink, and a dozen people began to eat and drink with a snort.

After dinner, Zhao Hu of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei accompanied Gonggong Liu to the inn with a few Jinyi guards, and Gonggong Liu entered the room and said to Zhao Guohua with a smile: "Captain Zhao, Your Majesty will summon you tomorrow morning, you should be ready." After speaking, he nodded, and said goodbye, Zhao Hu smiled and arched his hand, and followed.

In the afternoon of the next day, Gonggong Liu and Zhao Hu came again, Zhao Guohua greeted the two with a smile, then rode on a horse and followed for about half an hour, then arrived at the Forbidden City, entered the Forbidden City, and passed several well-guarded palace gates, and then came to the Qianqing Palace where Emperor Chongzhen dealt with government affairs.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has been ordered to bring Zhao Guohua, the captain of the loyal team." After Gonggong Liu reported loudly, he took a few steps back, then turned around and walked lightly.

"Come in." The voice of a young man who was running low on breath came out.

Listening to the voice, Zhao Guohua knew that it was the tragic emperor in history - Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen was the most diligent emperor in the 17th Emperor of the Ming Dynasty except for Zhu Yuanzhang, and at the beginning of his succession, he vigorously eliminated the eunuchs. In November of the seventh year of tomorrow's enlightenment, Zhu Youzhen seized the opportunity to eradicate Wei Zhongxian's wings, so that Wei Zhongxian was isolated and helpless, and then issued an edict to belittle Wei Zhongxian Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, and ordered him to be arrested. After he hanged himself, he ordered his body to be buried in the river. After that, more than 260 eunuchs were put to death, sent to war, or imprisoned for life, so that the arrogant eunuchs suffered a fatal blow. Emperor Chongzhen eradicated the Wei Zhongxian group, which once made the Ming Dynasty have the possibility of rejuvenation. However, it also lost its restraint on the friends of the DPRK and China, and as a result, Chongzhen's policies were at the mercy of the Shidafu clique.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was attacked by the Houjin Dynasty again and again, and the beacon fire of the peasant rebel army was burning more and more, and the courtiers were constantly fighting for the gates, and the soldiers on the battlefield were lazy. Faced with the crisis-ridden political situation, Zhu Youzhen sought treatment. Every time there is a feast, listen to the interpretation of the classics, without tire, summon the courtiers to explore the way to govern the country. Be diligent in government affairs, and do everything personally. At the same time, he rehabilitated the wrongs and was deposed during the Apocalypse. Comprehensively evaluate officials, prohibit friends, and forcibly prohibit courtiers from befriending eunuchs. Rectify the border government, take Yuan Chonghuan as the secretary of the military department, give Shang Fang Jian, and entrust him with the important task of recovering the whole Liao. Compared with the previous two dynasties, there has been a marked improvement in the administration of the court.

Due to dissatisfaction with the ministers of the foreign court, Zhu Youzhen reused another group of eunuchs after purging the eunuchs led by Wei Zhongxian. Give the eunuchs the power to supervise the army and supervise the capital camp. A large number of eunuchs were sent to the local towns to override the local governors. He even sent eunuchs to prime minister the household and the second ministry of work, while the secretary of the household and ministry of work was put aside, resulting in the power of the eunuchs expanding day by day and the contradictions of the ruling group becoming increasingly intensified. In desperation, he continued to introspect, issued four edicts, reduced food and entertainment, but finally could not save the Ming Dynasty from danger. Drink and hate the coal mountain.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guohua walked in, only to see three people in the room, a pale young man in his twenties sitting on a chair covered with yellow satin embroidered with gold dragons, looking tired, with a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns, and an old man in his sixties with a white face and beard standing aside, obviously a eunuch.

On the other side sat an official in his forties and fifties, with a neat goatee under his chin, a crane embroidered on his chest, a white face, slender eyes, and a hint of compelling light in his half-squinted eyes.

Although I don't know who the other two are, it must be Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sitting on the dragon chair.

"Junior minister Zhao Guohua to see Your Majesty, long live long live long live." Learning from the jokes on TV, Zhao Guohua said a congratulatory message, and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen three times.

"General Zhao is flat." Zhu Youzhen said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Guohua stood up as he spoke

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhao Guohua a few times, only to see that he had a delicate face, a slender figure, a strong physique, and the heroism of a soldier in his elegance. ”

The old eunuch moved a chair over and put it aside, "Your Majesty Xie!" Saying that, Zhao Guohua sat down and turned sideways to Zhu Youzhen.

Seeing this, the old eunuch seemed to be angry, but when he saw the smiling expression on Emperor Zhu Youzhen's face, he didn't say anything.

"You are the Zhao Guohua who captured the big Tartar in Zhuozhou, rescued tens of thousands of people, and captured Lao Huihui and others in Jinzhai this time?" The forty or fifty-year-old second-grade military attache asked lukewarmly, rubbing his beard.

Arching his hand, Zhao Guohua asked respectfully, "I don't know your surname?" ”

"The old man, the secretary of the military department, Yang Sichang." The old man said

"Oh, disrespectful, disrespectful, it turned out to be Lord Yang, I don't know, please atone for your sins." Zhao Guohua stood up and respectfully apologized.

Zhu Youzhen interjected with a smile: "I don't know if it's a crime." Yang Shangshu has a large belly, so he won't blame your ......".

"That's right! Right! Right! What Your Majesty said is that Your Majesty still understands me. Yang Sichang hurriedly said with a smile.

After glancing at Zhao Guohua a few times, Zhu Youzhen asked gently: "I heard that Lao Huihui and others were captured by you, can you tell us about the specific process of the couplet?"

"Yes!" Speaking of which, Zhao Guohua conspired with Xiong Wencan? How to get the old back to take the bait step by step was explained in detail.

"This old man is extremely cunning, but he was still captured by General Zhao, and the general is really talented." Yang Sichang stroked his beard and praised with a smile.

"It's hard to be a general, the United won't forget you." Zhu Youzhen said emotionally.

"The minister doesn't dare to be so praised by His Majesty, the minister is also a member of the Ming Dynasty, sweeping away the civil strife, and reviving the Ming Dynasty is also a long-cherished wish." Zhao Guohua Gong said.

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied, and he said warmly with a smile on his face: "I heard that Mr. is a descendant of pre-Qin immigrants who returned from overseas? ”

"Yes! Xiaomin returned from overseas Huaxia. Zhao Guohua replied respectfully.

"Overseas Huaxia country? What kind of kingdom is it? How far is it from Daming? Zhu Youzhen asked with great interest. Although he already knew about Zhao Guohua's situation from Jin Yiwei, after all, it was not as detailed as asking in person. The other two people in the room listened curiously.

Glancing at them, Zhao Guohua said: "This Huaxia Kingdom is a descendant of the pre-Qin Luban...... and he retold the story that he had told several times.

After listening to his story, there was silence in the room, no one spoke in the middle of the sound, and everyone could not have imagined that there would be such a magical country in the east far away from the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, this is too shocking, I don't know what evidence there is?" Yang Sichang asked suspiciously.

Yang Sichang is well-read, well-traveled, and among his acquaintances, there are also a few sea merchants, but he has never heard anyone talk about Huaxia, so he has a high degree of doubt about Zhao Guohua's words.

"Of course. I have a real picture of my life in Huaxia Kingdom, and Your Majesty and Your Excellency will understand that I am not telling a lie at a glance. Zhao Guohua said indifferently.

When he was about to come to Beijing, Zhao Guohua had brought the photos with him, these photos were the props he used to promote in the Ming Dynasty, and now he is going to the capital to see the biggest official in the Ming Dynasty - the emperor, how could he not bring props.

"Live pictures? Take it out and let the Union take a look. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said excitedly. He wanted to see what kind of scene the distant and magical Huaxia Kingdom was.

Seeing Zhao Guohua take out a transparent bag from his body and take out a stack of square color pictures from it, the old eunuch hurriedly walked over and handed the pictures to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen looked at it urgently, and when he saw the first photo, he was stunned, and stayed for a while before continuing to look at it, and after reading it, he didn't say a word, and handed the photo to Yang Sichang, who was looking at it.

Yang Sichang took the photo and looked at it urgently.

After reading the photos provided by Zhao Guohua, Yang Sichang was also speechless in surprise.

He knows how to paint, and he knows that these small pictures are definitely not painted, but made in a special way, according to the real scene, because the men, women and children in the pictures have clear faces, flowers, grass, trees, roads, and houses are so real, just like in front of them.

Such a clearly recognizable scene cannot be painted by even the most skilled painter.

"Mr. Zhao, how did you get these pictures?" Yang Sichang asked respectfully.
