"I see how charming Qingshan is, and Qingshan should be like this when he sees me" Xin Qiji's sentence is the origin of Liu Ru's name.

Although he admired her literary brilliance and national integrity, Liu Ru seemed to be born with Pang Gang, and always looked at him everywhere He was not pleasing to the eye, and Pang Gang was also annoyed that Liu Ru was always accusing of what he did.

In fact, Pang Gang also knows that the most important one is that Liu Ru is an absolute Ming diehard, just look at the parity of Liu Ru in later generations. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied the entire Central Plains, she still contacted and funded Zheng Chenggong in Taiwan and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and kept running for the anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and she never forgot this goal until she was forced to death by her husband's family. In the words of the later games, the loyalty to the Ming Dynasty has reached the full value of one hundred.

And Pang Gang, from the later generations, he would never be willing to sink into the sea with the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty, he thought so and did so, Liu Ru is a smart woman, he has seen this from what Pang Gang did after he came to Qingzhou. On the ground of Qingzhou, the emperor's holy decree may not be as good as Pang Gang's words, and the support of the common people, especially the hundreds of thousands of military households recruited in the past two years, is not ordinarily high.

Because the common people recognized a very simple truth, that is, since it was a huge person who gave them everything now, then why did they still listen to the words of the emperor who they didn't know what they looked like all their lives.

Seeing such a scene, Pang Gang immediately rose to the ranks of rebellious ministers and thieves in Liu Ruyi's heart, but I don't know why Liu Ru has not left Qingzhou, today Chen Yuanyuan suddenly told Pang Gang that Liu Ru is leaving, which made Pang Gang stunned for a while.

After staying for a long time, Pang just asked, "Yuanyuan, is Miss Liu leaving today, why is it so sudden?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know." Chen Yuanyuan also shook his head in confusion, gently put Hao Shou in her husband's arms and said, "Sister Liu has always been very assertive, and there are some things that the concubine doesn't dare to ask more. ”

"Well, that's right!"

Pang Gang agreed, Liu Ru is this little lady is indeed a rare contemporary woman with the surname Ge Jian, which is very similar to those strong women in later generations, but Pang Gang doesn't like this, you said that you are a girl's family, isn't it good to learn from our family? During the day, she plays the piano, dances at home, composes music, and rolls the sheets with her husband at night, this is a traditional Chinese woman with a standard husband and children!

But no matter how outrageous she is, it doesn't matter to Pang Gang, and Pang Gang will not be so loving as to care about all the world, that is what God can do.

Pang Gang thought for a while before saying, "Okay, Miss Liu wants to go, let her go, you can take some more coils for her before you go, and send a boat to send her back to Suzhou for her husband." ”

"Well, the concubine went back first, and the master was busy first!" Chen Yuanyuan stood up, gently kissed Pang Gang on the face, and then left the study, but the soft fragrant lips and a faint fragrance seemed to be imprinted in Pang Gang's heart.

"Hey, it's better for my family to be round, both well-behaved and obedient and able to serve men, I don't know how many times better than her sister." After Pang Gang sighed at such a sentence, he picked up the pen again and prepared to write his army expansion plan.

It is already 20 December, and the new year is not far away, and this year's plan to recruit displaced people has almost been completed, and 2.67 million displaced people have been resettled in Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou, which is tens of thousands more than Pang Gang's expectations.

Since the population has increased, Pang Gang's army expansion plan will also be implemented, and Pang Gang plans to recruit 20,000 young men among the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, of which 6,000 will be allocated to the naval division, and the rest will be distributed to the army. In this way, after the training of these recruits is completed, Qingzhou will have an army of 26,000 men and a naval division of 12,000 men, coupled with today's weapons and equipment.

Just when Pang Gang was racking his brains for the army expansion plan, Chongzhen in the Forbidden City was also losing his temper.

"What, that's really what that thief said? He wants his father-in-law to be the governor of Shandong? ”

Ma Gonggong, who had just returned to the capital, knelt on the ground, trembling with fright, and said tremblingly: "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, that's what Pang Gang said, he said that this world is not his alone, why do you have to give him the money, there are more people in this world who are bigger than him, why does the court let him resist everything." ”

Ma Gonggong's voice was not loud, and at the same time his voice was trembling, but it could be heard clearly by everyone in the Warm Heart Pavilion.

The Warm Heart Pavilion was so quiet that no one dared to make a sound, even Yang Sichang, Wen Tiren, and Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the military department who had just been released back to Beijing, closed their eyes, and beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads.

In their opinion, Pang Gang's words are simply a great rebellion, and they belong to the kind of crime that can be directly pulled out without trial.

Chongzhen's teeth rattled, and Tie asked again with a blushing face, "What else did he say?" ”

Ma Gonggong's body trembled like a violently shaking dustpan, and he said with a cry: "Long live, slaves and slaves dare not say." ”

A thunderous voice sounded in the temple, "Say! Don't say that I will punish your nine clans! ”

"The slave said, the slave said!" Chongzhen's voice was so terrifying, Gonggong Ma was already frightened, "Pang Gang said, if you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed the horse grass, the emperor is not a hungry soldier, his silver is not blown by the wind, the court will only pay the silver if he agrees to his request, otherwise he is not the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the household department, why should the salary and silver of Liaodong and the salary of hundreds of officials be spread on his head." ”

"You, you" Chongzhen pointed to Ma Gonggong, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and his body began to shake, and he was about to fall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!" Wang Chengen, who had been waiting behind Chongzhen, saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward to support Chongzhen, and slowly patted Chongzhen's back with his left hand to make him feel smooth, and shouted to the front: "You damn minions, why don't you hurry up and help a few panting people to sit down." ”

As soon as Wang Chengen's words fell, a few eunuchs hurriedly came over next to him and helped Chongzhen to the dragon chair to do it, and another also hurriedly brought a bowl of ginseng tea.

Chongzhen closed his eyes and gasped, and after drinking two sips of ginseng tea, he finally calmed down, Chongzhen's arm on the armrest trembled slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Is that really what the traitor said?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid are true, and they will never dare to deceive the emperor!"

Ma Gonggong has been kneeling on the ground for a while, but Chongzhen didn't tell him to get him up, he had to kneel there all the time, and after hearing Chongzhen's suspicious words, he knocked his head on the ground.

In the Warm Heart Palace, five or six pots of burning tribute charcoal emitted faint blue flames, roasting the entire hall as warm as spring, but the three court ministers sitting under Chongzhen still felt that their backs were cold, and Ma Gonggong's answer made them realize a topic that neither they nor the rulers were willing to mention, that is, the local army forces were not willing to obey the emperor's orders, and this Pang Gang in front of him was the best example.

After Chen Xinjia was released by Pang Gang, his whole person lost a lot of weight, but some things will never change, such as hating Pang Gang, "We must not let this chaotic minister and thief go on so rampantly, Your Majesty, please send troops to suppress it, otherwise if the thief is strong, it will be too late for us to clean him up!" ”

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang rolled their eyes at the same time, Yang Sichang was a little tired in his heart, and said in his heart, why didn't I realize that this guy was an idiot before?

Chongzhen rubbed his eyes and asked tiredly, "Where does Chen Aiqing think the soldiers and horses should be mobilized?" ”

Chen Xinjia thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, you can order Lu Xiang to be promoted to marshal, and order the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu to be transferred, and then to Henan, Hebei and other places, and mobilize 50,000 troops into Shandong, so that the rebellion can be quelled in one fell swoop." If you want to take Pang Gang but more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can you dare to confront tens of thousands of kings and divisions in the imperial court, presumably Pang Gang will inevitably go out of the city and surrender! In the end, Chen Xinjia's tone couldn't help but get excited, but he didn't see Chongzhen's increasingly gloomy face.

"Bang enough!"

Chongzhen couldn't listen to it anymore, and slapped the handrail and shouted: "You idiot, it's not enough to mobilize Xuanfu soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion, even the armies of Henan, Hebei and other places have to be mobilized, what do you want to do!" ”

Chongzhen's anger woke up Chen Xinjia, he quickly got up from his seat and knelt on the ground with a "poof" and cried: "Your Majesty, the ministers just can't get used to Pang Gang's chaotic ministers and thieves, and they just want to vent their anger for the emperor." ”

"Oh yes?" Chongzhen stared at him coldly and said, "Do you dare to guarantee that your words are out of public intentions and not out of personal anger?" ”

"Minister" Chen Xinjia couldn't go on, and after being caught by others, he was put in a cell for half a month of inhuman life.

Since Chen Xinjia returned to Beijing, he has been holding back his strength to kill Pang Gang, and today he happened to be invited by Chongzhen to discuss the Warm Heart Pavilion, and this right attendant of the military department who hated Pang Gang to the bone naturally wanted to throw down a few stones, but he never thought that the stone was scolded by the boss as soon as he still made a move.
