Chapter 142: Chen Yuan

Emperor Chongzhen's question was very sudden, but Zhu Changyuan was not surprised at all. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info [Latest Chapter Reading]

After more than two years of hard work, no matter how much no one has political consciousness, he has almost tempered it now, and the emperor has already guessed since he transferred him from the position of governor of Shaanxi.

In addition, it happened that Liaodong was defeated, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, many generals died in battle, and the emperor had no available soldiers in his hands.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, Zhu Changyuan didn't want to go.

Why, because he has to face to face with Huang Taiji to do it, if there is no big accident, with his current mentality and financial resources, it is still possible to beat Huang Taiji and not be able to take care of himself, but this is what Zhu Changyuan does not want to see.

beat Huang Taiji away, who is arguing with Chongzhen? No one is arguing with Chongzhen, how to subvert the Ming Dynasty? There is no way to subvert the Ming Dynasty, when will his ideals and tasks be completed?

As for personally rebelling, if this is not a last resort, he will not do it, after all, it is not good to be a thief when the time comes, and it is very likely that he will be engraved on the pillar of history by the officials of the sword and pen to promote his own verses.

Sooner or later, the Ming Empire will have to eat it in its stomach, but now that it has this ability, it can't be too anxious, and more or less scruple about eating and drinking.

Also, in order to consider Zhang Yan's feelings, you can't just pull the flag and rebel, if you don't let this woman hang herself like Emperor Chongzhen, the gains outweigh the losses.

Don't say it's impossible, in the original history, when the first queen's festival was big, when Li Zicheng broke the Beijing division, if it wasn't for the arrival of Li Xin, a fellow villager in Henan, one step earlier, this delicate and peerless beauty would have almost hanged herself on the beam of the house.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Changyuan hurriedly put the wine glass in his hand lightly on the small table in front of him, then took a step back, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the matter is serious, and the ministers are afraid that they will not be able to catch it!" ”

Chongzhen also thought that Zhu Changyuan was afraid of the big pit in Liaodong like other courtiers. Hehe smiled, this time he didn't let Zhu Cihong get up himself, walked to Zhu Changyuan's side, and helped him up. said: "Why is the emperor's uncle like this, I know the emperor's uncle's ability, and no one can be in charge of the land of Liaodong!" ”

At the same time, Chongzhen's psychology is playing drums.

In case Zhu Changyuan is unwilling to go, Liaodong is not only hopeless to recover. Shanhaiguan is still in danger of being lost, in case Wu Sangui can't hold it and is captured by Huang Taiji, the Ming Dynasty is really naked and exposed under the fangs of Jianyu.

Although the city of Beijing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how long can it hold out in a protracted day?

We must coax this guy over, don't ask for the whole Liao to recover, as long as I can restore to the level of Chongzhen's early years, and leave a decent country for future generations, I will be satisfied.

The point is, after I live a thousand years, no matter how it is written in the history books. The territory of the Ming Dynasty is not lost in my hands, although it is not commendable, but it can also be exempt from harsh criticism; Huang Quanzhi saw Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu below, compared with his grandfather and brother, he also had some face, didn't he?

"Uncle Huang, don't abandon me." Chongzhen looked crying, wanting to learn Liu Bei's performance back then, but he didn't have that talent, he should have shed two tears, but he could only smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "God doesn't love me." Heaven punished all the people, the water was in dire straits, and the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi was ten rooms and nine empty; The people do not love me, so that the wolf smoke is in flames. Banditry is rife; Uncle Huang is a member of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't love me, how can he bear to see his ancestors fall into the hands of Yidi? ”

This is called knowing with affection.

Then, he had to move reasonably, and helped Zhu Changyuan to say a lot of truths, but unfortunately this thing looked respectful. In fact, I didn't listen to a word in my heart.

In the end, the emperor used his killer trick again, and said: "Uncle Huang Dingjingxiang and Ping Shaanxi, with high hard work, it is not an exaggeration to compare with the Han Changping Marquis and the Champion Marquis." ”

Changping Hou, Wei Qing!

Champion Hou, Huo Quai!

For a general, this is undoubtedly a high evaluation.

What's more, it was admitted by the emperor himself, even if Zhu Changyuan was such an undisciplined person, he couldn't help but be moved.

"It's a pity that Chang Yuan has no heirs, otherwise, I should follow the example of Emperor Xiaowu, and the sons and heirs of Qing are all liehous!" The emperor can't talk nonsense, and when he talks to Zhu Changyuan like this, he almost tells Zhu Changyuan, you do a good job, once Liaodong is pacified, not to mention the reward, all your future heirs will be sealed.

Of course, Zhu Changyuan knew in his heart that the emperor Lao'er was painting cakes, but unfortunately, in the face of Zhu Changyuan, who was not hungry, it had no effect at all.

However, the moment the emperor said about the problem of heirs, he suddenly thought of one thing: Nima Laozi went to the hospital for a check-up, and there was no problem with his body and tadpoles.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the two of them?

Chongzhen saw that Zhu Changyuan was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, as a courtier, dealing with the king like this is somewhat unsightly.

But how did the emperor know that at this time, Zhu Changyuan's heart had already flown away from the nine heavens.

"Alas!" Chongzhen patted Zhu Changyuan on the back and said, "Uncle Huang should think about it first, come, have a drink with me!" After speaking, he picked up his wine bottle and came straight to Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan suddenly realized, hurriedly apologized to the emperor, and told the truth: "Your Majesty forgives the ministers for being rude, it is really that Your Majesty just talked about the heir, and the ministers are uncertain, alas... ”

"Oh!" Chongzhen laughed, and at the same time, the depression in his heart was slightly relieved, and said: "Don't worry, this matter is easy, but Dona concubine!" Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Some time ago, my cousin Tian Hongyu sent a beautiful girl from Suzhou Mansion, and I heard that Uncle Huang loves beauties, and today I will share the joy of silk and bamboo with Qing." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at the only two remaining palace maids below, and said, "Zhao Chen Ji is here, how can the emperor be unhappy." ”

"Yes!"

The two palace maids went down, and the whole room resumed its quiet voice, Chongzhen poured a glass of wine with "shhh ”

"Chen Cheng is scared!" Zhu Changyuan also poured a glass of wine, raised it above his head, saluted the emperor respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"This spring, Tian Hongyu found Chen Ji from Suzhou Mansion, it is said that the color is very beautiful, I am busy with state affairs on weekdays, and I haven't seen it yet, Chang Yuan is here today, so let's take a look?"

After speaking, before Zhu Changyuan could answer, he looked at his eldest son and crown prince Zhu Cihong, and said, "The prince can step down." ”

The prince reluctantly walked out of the main hall.

Chongzhen understood in his heart that Tian Hongyu sent Chen Meiren to the palace not because of any good intentions, but because Tian Guifei had lost power in the harem in recent years, and her authority was concentrated on Queen Zhou alone, and Chen Meiren was just to share favor.

It's a pity that Tian Hongyu miscalculated, because Chongzhen was not a womanizer in the first place, and for the sake of state affairs, he didn't have time to indulge in lust on weekdays.

Therefore, Chen Meiren's fate is tragic, after being sent to the palace, she has not seen the emperor for half a year, let alone the six palaces that Tian Hongyu promised.

But today, her good fortune seems to have come.

Because, the Son of Heaven has an edict to let her go and dance.

But the moment she received the edict, she was extremely entangled.

On the one hand, if you get the favor of the emperor, in this life, you can soar up, fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and then not only no one dares to accuse yourself of the identity of the singer, but also give orders, and decide life and death in anger.

But on the other hand, as a woman who has fallen into the dust, she has entered the Beijing Division all the way with involuntary bumps, tasted the sadness of the world, and missed the figure who had gradually drifted away.

"What to do? What if Your Majesty lets me sleep? Chen Meiren asked herself, and after a long time, she finally made a decisive decision, hiding a dagger in her waist!

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Meiren entered the side hall with bright candles, and in the hall, there were only Zhu Changyuan and Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, Chen Meiren is here!"

The palace maid reported.

"Xuan!"

Then, under the cover of the two palace maids, Chen Meiren slowly entered.

The candle shadow swayed, the brilliance was blurred, Chen Meiren half-covered the flower face, followed the palace maid up the steps, and then, knelt down in front of the palace, whispered, and said: "Chen Yuan, the daughter of the people, knock on the Son of Heaven, long live Your Majesty." ”

The sound is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, a warbler and a warbler, and six horses are looking up.

"Sure enough, the beauty, although she hasn't met yet, just listen to this voice, and she is already intoxicating!" Chongzhen first praised it, and then said, "Raise your head." ”

Chen Yuan fell to the ground, his head raised slightly, but he lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look up.

After seeing her face, not only Chongzhen, but even Zhu Changyuan, who originally wanted to see the excitement next to him, was taken aback.

I saw Chen Yuan's face pale, beautiful and plump, bright and outstanding, and beautiful like a flower.

No wonder Tian Hongyu dared to send Chen Meiren to the palace in order to divide Queen Zhou's favor, it turned out that she was a genuine beauty, but under a closer look, she didn't look like a woman in the world, jade and ice bones, like an immortal.

"Uncle Huang, how is this girl?"

Chongzhen couldn't help but take a sip of wine and asked.

Although Zhu Changyuan is easy to get into his brain, he can still restrain himself in this situation, knowing the main purpose of coming today, he arched his hand towards Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty asked the ministers to watch the song and dance, Chen Meiren has not danced, it is not yet known!" ”

"Hahaha!" Chongzhen laughed a few times and said, "Okay, the beauty should dance first." ”

Chen Yuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, the folk girl is just an ordinary singer and is not good at dancing, so let's sing a paragraph for Your Majesty and the adults." ”

Chongzhen bowed his head, and then turned to Zhu Changyuan: "Uncle Huang points to the question!" ”

Zhu Changyuan said: "The minister is dull and doesn't understand etiquette and music, so it's better to let Chen Meiren sing it herself." ”

"Good!" The emperor clapped his hands in agreement and said, "Beauty, please get up and play music." ”。

Chen Yuan got up from the ground, retreated to a stool and sat down, then took out a pipa, stretched out his hand and played it, and opened his mouth to sing at the same time. (To be continued.) )
