At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen still lives the same life, every day is spent in busy work, since Liu Fan knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to be buried in his own hands, under great pressure, Chongzhen worked harder to make achievements, save the Ming Dynasty, almost all of his heart was in the government, and he had to review a large number of twists and turns every day.

Although Chongzhen has worked very hard, but the situation of the Ming Dynasty has not improved in the slightest, and it is even worse than in history, because Chongzhen's character is more irritable and suspicious because of the influence of Liu Fan, Chongzhen is even more disgusted and distrustful of those mediocre ministers, and he is often dismissed and imprisoned. In addition, Wen Tiren is very committed to cracking down on and eliminating dissidents, so that everyone in the current court is in danger, and they dare not act rashly at all, for fear of becoming the target of attack. The court is now full of thousands of horses, and it has become a hall of Wen Tiren's words. And Wen Tiren has no strategy and talent for governing the country, and he is obsessed with fighting for power and profit, and the current court has done almost nothing, which has further worsened the already bad situation.

"Emperor! Luo Yang's sex asks to see! Wang Chengen walked gently to Chongzhen's side and whispered.

Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen asked without raising his head, "Oh? What's the matter with him? Declare him in! ”

"Yes!" After Wang Chengen got Chongzhen's permission, he walked quickly towards the outside of the hall.

"The Emperor has summoned! Lord Luo come with us! Coming to the outside of the hall, Wang Chengen said to Luo Yangxing.

Luo Yangxing followed Wang Chengen to the hall, saluted Chongzhen and said, "Minister Luo Yangxing, please see Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing Luo Yangxing's voice, Chongzhen raised his head and glanced at him, and said, "Get up!" Why is Aiqing so anxious to see me? ”

"Your Majesty! Liu Fan, Lord Liu, has arrived in Tongzhou! ”

"What? So fast? So what is he doing now, why didn't he come to the capital to see me? Chongzhen exclaimed, stood up with some gaffes, and asked quickly.

Seeing Chongzhen's shocked appearance, Luo Yangxing didn't dare to slack off, and quickly replied, "Your Majesty! Liu Fan can't enter Beijing without the order of the Ministry of War and His Majesty's holy decree, and now he is being notified to be stationed! Just now, Lord Liu sent someone to inform the minister, so that the minister could show His Majesty. In addition, Lord Liu also said that there was a batch of silver to be sent to the inner treasury, so His Majesty would send someone to inform him! ”

Chongzhen said coldly: "Hmph! Knowing that he couldn't enter Beijing without an order, he dared to bring troops here! What a guts! ”

"It's... Lord Liu had already sent someone to show His Majesty last month! I got permission to go out of Shandong! Luo Yangxing reminded in a low voice

Chongzhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, glared at Luo Yangxing fiercely and said, "I know!" I ask you what Liu Fan is doing now? ”

Luo Yangxing knew that he had made some gaffes, he was afraid that he would anger the emperor, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, and when he heard Chongzhen's question, he hurriedly straightened himself and said, "According to the following, Lord Liu seems to have gone to repay his kindness!" It's the little village that once took him in! ”

Chongzhen's face softened slightly when he heard this, and he waved his hand at Wang Chengen and said, "Let the celebrant draft the decree!" Tell Jimin to let him come to Beijing to see me quickly! ”

Then he said to Luo Yangxing, "You go down first!" In addition, sort out Jimin's whereabouts this month and hand it over to me in the evening! ”

Wang Chengen and Luo Yangxing received the order, and after the two left, Chongzhen was not in the mood to continue to watch the performance, and sat on the chair in a daze, and muttered after a while, "Jimin!" I hope you can surprise me a little! ”

Two days later, after Liu Fan returned to Tongzhou, he received a holy decree to enter Beijing immediately, Liu Fan was overjoyed to immediately gather his own soldiers and people, escorted his belongings to the capital, and ordered the remaining soldiers of the Broken Army to go to the original garrison of the Broken Army in Niutun Fort to standby.

In order not to attract attention, Liu Fan ordered his subordinates to let them transport goods in batches to the imperial city for handover, and he rushed to the house in the capital with Li Xiaohu and others.

Coming to his home in the capital again, Liu Fan had mixed feelings, as the so-called "closer to home is more timid" Although the residence in the capital is not his hometown, but there are people he cares about. Thinking that I set off in August last year and only came back in October now, I have been there for more than a year, and I don't know how the two girls who were left behind are doing now? Although I would send letters back every month, I was not by their side after all, and even if they asked to go to Shandong, they were refused! I wonder if they blame themselves? With these thoughts in his heart, Liu Fan's footsteps gradually slowed down.

"My lord! I'll be home soon! Why don't you leave? Seeing Liu Fan stop, Li Xiaohu asked suspiciously

"Oooh! Thinking of something, let's go! Go home! Liu Fan was a little embarrassed to be woken up by Li Xiaohu, said a perfunctory word, walked forward, passed everyone, and walked forward with complicated feelings.

Seeing Liu Fan's somewhat embarrassed back, Li Xiaohu didn't understand, how did he feel that the adults were a little weird? Shouldn't you be happy to go home? Why can't adults see a little excitement? Anyway, this matter is not in my own hands, and my duty is to protect what adults want to do so much. Shaking his head, Li Xiaohu didn't continue to think about it, and quickly followed Liu Fan and walked forward together.

Turning a street corner, everyone arrived near the door, and saw two emaciated figures standing at the door from a distance, looking around, seeing these two familiar figures, Liu Fan's nose was sour, and he couldn't hold back the surging feelings anymore, and walked forward quickly and shouted, "Xiaozhu!" Little lotus! ”

The two girls who heard the voice turned their heads to look at Liu Fan, and when they saw Liu Fan wearing armor, they suddenly exclaimed in surprise and flew towards Liu Fan. Liu Fan was also excited, stepped forward and hugged the two girls tightly and whispered, "I'm back!" I'm sorry! Let you suffer! ”

Lying in Liu Fan's arms, smelling the familiar breath, the two women couldn't control it anymore, and cried bitterly. The surging tears still wet Liu Fan's chest even through the armor. Holding the delicate bodies of the two girls with almost no weight, Liu Fan's eyes were a little moist, gently stroked the backs of the two women, and murmured, "No matter what happens this time, I will take you with me!" I'll never leave you behind! ”

Hearing Liu Fan's words, the girl in her arms cried even more fiercely, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and thoughts she had suffered in the past few months before she stopped, Liu Fan couldn't interrupt and could only hold the two women and continue to comfort her. After a long time, the two girls slowly stopped crying, Xiaohe raised her head and wiped her tears and said, "Master! Makes you laugh! Let's go home and talk about it! The maid has prepared hot water for you, and the master has been in the dust all the way, so let's go home and freshen up first! ”

"Hmmm! Go home first! I have a lot more to say to you! After that, let go of the two women, and scolded Li Xiaohu and the others who were still peeking, "Hmph! Have you seen enough? Why are you still standing stupidly! It's home! Why don't you let me go in and clean up my room! Do you want a handsome woman to serve you? Something that doesn't have eyesight! ”

Hearing Liu Fan's reprimand, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and quickly ran towards the courtyard under the leadership of Li Xiaohu. Most of Liu Fan's personal troops are old people from Niutunbao, and they are also very familiar with this place. Before Liu Fan and the three of them entered the house, everyone had already performed their duties.
