Zhu Ping'an didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would actually leave him alone to accept the summons, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset in his heart. According to his and Yin Shigang's inferences in private, the imperial court should award him a real vacancy for his military exploits this time, but the military department and cabinet are still under the control of Yang Sichang, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make extraneous branches.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an had a conversation with Lu Xiangsheng early in the morning. In the battle of Julu, Lu Xiangsheng was greatly impressed by Zhu Ping'an's ability and character, and felt that he owed Zhu Ping'an and his subordinates a lot. Therefore, when Zhu Ping'an just mentioned his concerns, Lu Xiangsheng took it down. If Yang Sichang dares to interfere with Zhu Ping'an's appointment, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely not give up on him. Besides, Lu Xiangsheng's brave retreat this time has already shown his unwillingness to compete with Yang Sichang in the court, if Yang Sichang takes action against his subordinate Zhu Ping'an again, then Lu Xiangsheng can naturally take advantage of the situation to fight back, even if he will not hesitate to fight the lawsuit in front of the emperor.

But today, Chongzhen is very abnormal, and he actually left Zhu Ping'an to summon him alone, but the deep meaning contained in this is beyond Zhu Ping'an's detailed consideration.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty retreated from the main hall with their own thoughts, and when they walked past Zhu Ping'an's side one after another, they all cast a glance full of deep meaning. Lu Xiangsheng, Hu Dawei and others looked at Zhu Ping'an with some concern.

After a while, the whole hall seemed empty.

Emperor Chongzhen got off the throne and directly ordered Huaide to lead Zhu Ping'an into the warm pavilion. All the civil and military officials retreated, but the internal officials did not get the edict, so they naturally waited in front of the emperor, and even Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian, Zhang Yunhan and others also stayed.

In order to catch up with this court. Zhu Ping'an got up early in the morning, and when he went to the hall, the sky was not yet bright, and he was already hungry at this time, but he could only endure himself.

About a time when there was a cup of tea, Emperor Chongzhen changed into a regular clothes, but it was a little faded from the pulp, Chongzhen didn't care, drank a few sips of tea, and looked at Zhu Ping'an who was standing respectfully in front of him. He was only seventeen years old. But after the baptism of war. The whole person seems to be stable and mature, and there is a lingering solemn temperament wafting out.

Chongzhen smiled and nodded, his eyes revealing an indescribable sense of closeness. Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian are both old people who have served by his side for many years, and they looked at Chongzhen's expression. Suddenly, there was a change in their hearts.

"Leave you alone. I didn't mean anything else. You are the hero of this giant deer war. I thought about your reward for many days before deciding. ”

"The minister is only loyal to the king. Don't dare to take credit! ”

Chongzhen suddenly laughed, "I heard that you were born in the second year of the Apocalypse, and now you are only seventeen years old, how can you talk so old-fashioned!" In front of me, you don't have to be so restrained, it's rare for me to decide to be idle for a moment today, and you will boldly reply, I won't care! ”

"Yes!"

"I've seen so many twists and turns, but it's only a rough description of the Battle of the Giant Deer, and if you're here today, you might as well tell me about the whole process!"

"Yes. Obey the order! Zhu Ping'an organized the language slightly, and repeated the whole process of the battle of the giant deer in popular language as much as possible, although he didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen meant, but every time Zhu Ping'an said the last paragraph, he still secretly screened the following content in his heart, so that he knew it in his heart, and then he told it. There is quite a sense that later generations will be questioned by the leaders on the spot.

With the experience of later generations, Zhu Ping'an naturally coped with it well, and told a big war about the climax and tragedy. It also focused on the loyalty, courage and courage of the Xuanda Department, and the achievements of resisting foreign enemies at the expense of others.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to it with relish, and only Zhu Ping'an's voice was left in the entire warm pavilion.

But Gao Qiqian's face on the side was getting worse and worse, and what Zhu Ping'an talked about was how Lu Xiangsheng's department fought bravely to kill the enemy, but not only intentionally or unintentionally, but completely ignored the important plot of the final stage of Ji Ze's army coming to help, which gave the Qing army a fatal blow.

Gao Qiqian patiently listened to Zhu Ping'an's story, and saw Emperor Chongzhen's Longyan Dayue, and kept clapping his hands, he really couldn't hold back the hatred in his heart, so he hurriedly interjected. "Emperor, Zhu Ping'an said the facts at any time, but he skipped the most critical part of the whole battle, that is, the part of my Ji Ze army and Lu Du's division that should be combined to break the enemy army, the slave maid thinks that this is unfair to the Ji Ze soldiers, Zhu Ping'an has ill intentions, please check the emperor!"

Wang Chengen's eyes closed slightly, and he didn't even open his eyes when he heard Gao Qiqian's words. Cao Huachun always stood respectfully beside him, and his expression did not change at all.

Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand easily, "You slave and maid, you have a lot of thoughts, but I also know the truth of listening and listening, but I just want to hear the deeds of the soldiers that day!" ”

As soon as Chongzhen said this, Gao Qiqian couldn't continue.

Chongzhen sighed for a moment and said: "In the battle of the giant deer, my Ming soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, it is indeed a song and a cry, I have made up my mind, spread my will, and seal the ......!" “

As soon as he heard this, Gao Qiqian suddenly jumped out again, "The emperor can't, this Zhu Ping'an is guilty of bullying the king, and he must not be rewarded!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Qiqian, "What does this mean?" ”

Wang Chengen seemed to sense something in his heart, slowly opened his eyes, and set his eyes on Cao Huachun not far away. Cao Huachun showed a subtle smile and winked at Wang Chengen.

But then Wang Chengen still closed his eyes, which made Cao Huachun stunned.

"The emperor's grace!" Gao Qiqian simply knelt in front of Chongzhen and pointed at Zhu Ping'an, "This person is the son of Zhu Yujian, the former Tang King of Nanyang, since he was born, he has not reported to the Zongren Mansion, his father and son concealed such things, it is clear that they have bad intentions, please make a holy judgment!" ”

As soon as Gao Qiqian's words came out, Zhu Ping'an suddenly became excited, although he knew that his true identity and such a secret would be known sooner or later, but he never expected that it would be revealed at the time of the Holy Emperor in front of the Emperor.

Although he was flustered, his inner reason kept reminding Zhu Ping'an that he must not panic at this time, otherwise, great disasters would follow.

When Chongzhen heard this, the expression on his face did not fluctuate, but he turned his face to look at Zhu Ping'an, "You, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhu Ping'an lifted his robe and fell to his knees. Regarding the situation that was exposed at this time, Zhu Ping'an did not think of it, as a cautious person, Zhu Ping'an had also deduced this matter countless times, and looking at the current situation, coupled with his understanding of Chongzhen, Zhu Ping'an could only gamble.

Zhu Ping'an has nothing to distinguish, after all, the facts are there. And those past events about the Tang Dynasty's lineage, now speaking, it is completely a bloodline dispute within the clan, in which the cruelty, ruthlessness and bloodiness are definitely a classic palace fighting drama in later generations. Now from the mouth of Zhu Ping'an, a witness, it is even more shocking.

In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, Zhu Yujian's father Zhu Qiqi was established as the son of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Qiqiao's father was the violent Zhu Shuoxi. In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, Zhu Shuoxi wanted to change the son born to his concubine as the son, so he fabricated charges and put his son Zhu Qiqi's family into the prison of the court. At that time, Zhu Yujian was just four years old.

Since then, until the second year of Chongzhen, Zhu Qiqi's family has always been under house arrest, although they have no worries about food and clothing, but they have lost the most important freedom in their lives. In the same year, because of physical reasons, Zhu Shuoxi was afraid that after a hundred years, the imperial court might not be able to determine the heir of the Tang Dynasty according to his own will, so he killed the killer and sent someone to secretly poison his son Zhu Qiqi.

It was also Zhu Shuoxi who was ruthless, which caused anger and resentment. After the political envoy Chen Qiyu learned of this, he went to the imperial court, and Chongzhen issued an order to establish Zhu Yujian as the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, and issued an order to apply for Zhu Shuoxi.

Zhu Shuoxi, who had a ghost in his heart, had his conspiracy exposed, and he was killed. Zhu Yujian inherited the title of Tang King that year. At this time, he was twenty-seven years old.

Zhu Ping'an is the child he gave birth to with the palace during the solitary confinement with his parents.

Speaking of this, Zhu Ping'an was already crying, and no one noticed that the muscles on Wang Chengen's face, who had been closing his eyes, twitched a few times inexplicably.

"The biological father of the criminal minister is indeed a Tang Shu man who is now imprisoned within the high walls. But please think about why the sinful father's father did this. My grandfather and my father were imprisoned for twenty-three years, and when they saw that their life was gone, they were fortunate to have the support of Yao Shaoqin, an official in the palace, and other officials, so that the criminal minister was born. The reason why the father of the criminal minister is willing to take such a crime of deceiving the king is because of his grandfather's earnest entrustment, and he wants to leave some blood and blood for his grandfather's lineage! The poor grandfather of the criminal still couldn't wait for the day when the moon was bright! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face was tense, and his body had already left the brocade couch behind him, his fists clenched tightly, listening attentively to Zhu Ping'an's crying and complaining.

Later, thanks to the grace of His Majesty, the father of the guilty minister was established as the grandson of the Tang King, and he was fortunate to inherit the Tang King's lineage. Because of his gratitude for His Majesty's kindness, the father of the guilty minister had to kowtow to the north every day to thank His Majesty for his grace, which was well known to everyone in the palace. But at this time, the identity of the criminal minister has been completed, although the father of the criminal minister has the heart to explain the sadness and helplessness to His Majesty, but he is afraid of bringing disaster to the Tang Palace, so he can only hide it. ”

"In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the Kou, attacked and harassed the Beijing division, and the imperial court issued an order to the kings of Qin everywhere. The father of the criminal minister immediately asked for help in Beijing, but His Majesty rejected the proposal. The father of the criminal minister was afraid that the master of the capital was in danger, and the danger of His Majesty made him unable to sleep at night. So, regardless of the advice from top to bottom, he resolutely gathered the guards, domestic slaves and thousands of young and strong people, set off from Nanyang overnight, and joined the Beijing Division, during which he also fought viciously with the Liukou and the Qing army, and the father of the criminal minister also personally beheaded the heads of the two Liukou! ”

"Later, the imperial court issued an edict ordering my father to return to the back cover, and after that, he was stripped of the throne and demoted to a concubine, and he has been imprisoned in the high walls of the central capital to this day."

Zhu Ping'an raised his head suddenly, "The criminal minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to think about it, why did Tang Shuren, the father of the criminal minister, know that a catastrophe was coming when he joined the Beijing Division, but he still insisted on going his own way, isn't it to repay His Majesty's kindness to the Tang King?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Ping'an touched the ground with his head and pounded. There was silence in the warm pavilion. (To be continued......)
