Liu Zhong chased out the door, but Liu Jun had already turned over and galloped away, leaving the inn, Liu Jun went directly to the Red Sleeve Fang.

went directly to the exclusive third floor, and after a while, Shen Man had already come like a flower and a butterfly. Now her heart is really all tied to Liu Jun, Liu Jun is five years younger than her, originally she thought that she was at most acting on the spot, but after a few times, she found that she really liked him.

Since getting along with Liu Jun, she feels that she has rejuvenated the second spring, and the whole person is like a peach blossom with rain, which is even more beautiful. In fact, she is only in her twenties now, although she has experienced a lot, but with Liu Jun, she feels as if she is back in her teens.

"The concubine has seen the master." Shen Man took her skirt and bowed.

"What are you shouting master, isn't this calling me old." Liu Jun smiled, directly reached out and pulled her over, hugged her in his arms, let her sit on his lap, lowered his head and kissed her on the face.

Shen Man struggled twice, and then sat in Liu Jun's arms.

"Master, that Liu Gang is really Liu Dashuai's son today, he won't cause trouble for you, right?"

"Hit it, fight it, don't worry, it'll be fine, this matter is in my hands."

"Master, the concubine wants to sell the Red Sleeves Workshop, and she won't show up again in the future."

Shen Man originally opened this red-sleeved shop here, but after he was kicked out, he wanted to make a living and rely on. But after meeting Liu Jun unexpectedly, she thought about not showing her face again, after all, Liu Jun is now a guard, and she definitely doesn't want to watch her woman show her face outside.

"This red-sleeved workshop was opened by you with great difficulty, wouldn't it be a pity to change hands?" Liu Jun asked.

Shen Man misunderstood Liu Jun's meaning a little, and turned his head to look at Liu Jun, "It's me who thinks too much, the slave family is just a broken flower and a willow."

Liu Jun patted his forehead with a headache, he understood what she meant, "You misunderstood me, of course I like you." But you don't have to give up on Red Sleeves. ”

"Huh?" Shen Man was a little puzzled by what Liu Jun meant.

After all, there is still a generation gap between the two, and in Shen Man's eyes, since he has a man he likes, he should wash away the lead and no longer show his face. In Liu Jun's thinking, women are not just accessories of men, they can have a family and a career.

"The Red Sleeves Workshop actually has a lot to offer." Liu Jun supports her to continue to operate, after all, she is the boss, as long as she controls the overall situation. You don't have to greet your customers or anything in person, so you don't have to show your head and you can continue to operate. For Shen Man, she followed Liu Jun, and it was at most an outer room, and she might not even be able to enter the door. And Liu Jun actually thinks that it is better for Shen Man to be an outer room, not to enter the house, not to see the eldest wife, and to have his own business. Then you can live a better life and be happier.

Shen Man didn't expect Liu Jun to think so far for her, even if she entered the Liu family as a concubine with her status, it would definitely be difficult to raise her head in front of the eldest woman in the future. "Thank you."

"You can hand over the front desk of the Red Sleeves to the person who has passed the letter in the future. Just take charge of it yourself. ”

Shen Man looked happy, pressed Liu Jun's chest and said, "Master, it's like this." The concubine was afraid that she couldn't wait for a while, so the concubine taught some girls, and there were two little girls in it who were really good. Obedient and well-behaved, I don't want to send them to the lord to serve as a concubine next time. ”

Liu Jun is thinking about whether to give Shen Man another sum of money to make the scale of the Red Sleeves Workshop bigger, and even open some branches. A green building like the Red Sleeve Workshop is indeed good if it is used to collect intelligence. Thinking about this, he didn't hear Shen Man's words clearly for a while, so he responded casually, "You can just look at these little things." ”

Jingshi, the Forbidden City.

The news of Qi Huang's victory was reported to the front of the Beijing Emperor, and Chongzhen was greatly shocked.

Previously, the imperial court made every effort to encircle and suppress the bandits in the Central Plains, under the joint encirclement and suppression of the governors and soldiers, the bandits fell to death, the situation was once very good, and later some ministers proposed to appease, Chongzhen also thought that the bandits were finally suppressed, so he also rejected the proposal of some officials to kill them all, and allowed Zheng Yiguan, who had successfully recruited the coastal sea pirates Zheng Yiguan during his tenure as governor of Liangguang, and used Zheng Yiguan to exterminate Liu Xiang's pirate group Xiong Wencan, who was responsible for the pacification.

At one point, Chongzhen was glad that the bandit rebellion that had intensified since the beginning of his reign was finally coming to an end. At this time, he could finally transfer all kinds of elite troops from the Central Plains to the north and make every effort to defend against the Tartars outside the Guan.

It's just that it didn't take long to relax, and he went to Dong Jianyu to attack the pass again, and even killed all the way to Shandong, and broke the city of Jinan, and after half a year of entering the Kou, the thieves were simply like entering a no-man's land, burning, killing and looting, breaking countless cities, and kidnapping hundreds of thousands of people. And this is the fourth large-scale entry of Houjin since he ascended the throne.

Although the situation last year was better than the situation when Chongzhen besieged Beijing in the third year, the performance of the officers and soldiers still made him angry.

And the damage caused by the capture has not yet been cleaned up, and the bandits who thought they had been pacified have rebelled again.

When Chongzhen heard the news of Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao and others' rebellion, he really felt hot on his face, and he regretted that he had listened to Xiong Wencan's recruitment plan.

It was in this extremely bad situation that he saw the good news of Qi Huang's victory.

Defeating the invasion of more than 20,000 Hui Zuo 5 Battalions, effectively stopping the Hui Zuo 5 Battalion's plan to march west to join Huguang with the rebels such as Xian Thief and Cao Cao, and beheading more than 2,000 prisoners and more than 2,000 prisoners, it can be said that this is the best news in the past two years, and it is also the only news that can make people happy.

"Liu Jun, the general manager of Macheng Training, led 500 regiments to practice, fought fiercely with the thieves for two days and two nights, and completely annihilated more than 3,000 thieves in the first battalion of the Diamond Leopard, and reinforced Huang An, repelled thousands of thieves and bandits in the first battalion of the thief Xiaobawang, and protected Huang An. This Liu Jun is so brave, it's really amazing, I am very relieved! ”

He walked around the Qianqing Palace, pausing to marvel from time to time, and was very happy. "This Liu Jun, the little Lian Zong, actually has such a ability, very good."

For this Liu Jun, he couldn't help but be very curious for a while, he wanted to know what kind of person Liu Jun was, and he could achieve such a record.

On his imperial case, a number of articles about Liu Jun have been presented one after another in the past few days. Among them, there are both Prime Minister Xiong Wencan's and Supervisor Yang Sichang's. In addition, there are also the excerpts of Fang Kongzhi, the governor of Huguang, Zhao Cheng, the military preparation of the Jiangfang Road in Huguang, and the excerpts of officials such as Li Changgeng, the former secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, Mei Zhihuan of Gansu, and Li Lishu, the deputy envoy of Shanxi.

In these excerpts, they are basically appreciating Liu Jun, a young man, to the emperor.

Through these twists and turns, Chongzhen knew that Liu Jun, the general practitioner who had just made great achievements, was actually only twenty years old, and he was just a martial artist before. And the nine-headed bird group training he formed was only less than three months.

Chongzhen walked to the front of the case, picked up a pen and wrote down the word Liu Jun, and looked at the name on the paper. Chongzhen sighed very much, the dynasty has not seen such a promising young man as Liu Jun appear for a long time. According to Mei Zhihuan and others, Liu Jun is simply another Qi Shaobao.

Qi Shaobao became a conductor at the age of sixteen, and now Liu Jun, who is twenty years old, was exceptionally promoted to conductor by Xiong Wencan, which is really a bit imaginative.

Today, Chongzhen, as usual, got up before the sky was clear, freshened up under the service of a group of palace maids, and put on a crown dress. Then burn incense and worship the sky, after bowing, pray silently for a while, and then return to the westernmost part of the Qianqing Palace. Because I'm in a good mood. When he accepted the usual greetings from the queen, the crown prince, the concubines, and the princesses, he made a special effort to let them stay a little longer, and shared the good news of Qi Huang's victory with them.

Wearing a dark dragon yellow satin dragon robe, Chongzhen sat in front of the imperial case and looked at the rice paper in front of him. There are several names written on the rice paper.

The first one is Liu Jun, the second is Xiong Wencan, and the third is Yang Sichang. Then there are more than a dozen names such as Zuo Liangyu, Kong Fangzhi, Mei Zhihuan, Li Changgeng, and Li Shuchu.

A palace maid held a tray with a bowl of bird's nest soup and a silver spoon on it, and gently walked into the warm pavilion. Another maid took the bird's nest and silver spoon from the tray, brought them to the emperor, and lifted the lid casually.

Chongzhen picked up the silver spoon and slowly drank the bird's nest soup.

After drinking the soup, he picked up Xiong Wencan's recital, which was Xiong Wencan's new post of Macheng garrison and appointed Liu Jun as the Macheng garrison. Xiong Wencan is still the prime minister, and he has expedient power to appoint a military post such as the Macheng garrison, but such an appointment must eventually be played by the imperial court, and then reviewed and approved by the emperor.

If it was in the past, the appointment of a four-rank martial artist would not have to be presented to him. As the king of a country, he has every opportunity every day, and he has important matters to deal with in various militaristic states. In addition to promotions like this, as long as it goes through the ministry and the cabinet, he doesn't need to think about it, often he just glances at it, and then approves a word, if he is not satisfied with that person, he just crosses out the name with a red pen.

And now Chongzhen looked at this excerpt, but he looked at it for a long time.

He picked up the fold and looked at it again, but did not make a decision right away.

"Call Wang Chengen over."

Wang Chengen is the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and his status in the palace is very high, which is equivalent to the emperor's court assistant, second only to the eunuch of the palm seal.

Wang Chengen quickly came and stood aside respectfully.

"Wang Chengen, is Liu Qiao here?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Liu Dudu is waiting outside."

"Call him in."

The tall Liu Qiao entered under the guidance of the little eunuch, and bowed as soon as he entered.

"Liu Qing is flat." Chongzhen called Liu Qiao, "Liu Qing, I ask you, what is the relationship between Liu Jun, the head of Macheng Lian, and you?" ”

Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the emperor to summon him into the palace in a hurry, it was actually for this matter. For a while, he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the emperor had already continued, "Okay, you Liu Qiao, you actually have such a great nephew, but he is still hidden." With such a powerful nephew, why didn't you recommend it to me earlier? ”

Liu Qiao was really shocked, and then he suddenly realized that the emperor actually valued Liu Jun so much who had come to the door to confess his relatives but was rejected by the Liu family.

Immediately hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Liu Jun is indeed a subordinate of Weichen." Liu Qiao immediately said, and told Liu Jun's grandfather Liu Chengye how he was driven back to Huguang by his father Liu Shouyou and driven out of the Liu family, and said that Liu Jiye was bent on reforming himself, studying hard, marrying a wife and teaching children, and so on.

Chongzhen heard that Liu Jun was actually the descendant of Liu Tian and Liu Shouyou, the famous ministers of this dynasty, and he couldn't help but be very happy at the moment, "Sure enough, the children of famous ministers are loyal and patriotic, which is rare!" Rare! ”

When he determined that Liu Jun was indeed the great-grandson of Liu Shouyou, the former handsome man in brocade, and the nephew of Liu Qiao, the current crown prince, he made a decision at the moment.

"Wang Chengen, for me to draw up the decree, Qin sent Liu Jun to be the commander of the Huguang guerrilla general's office, and was ordered to suppress the thief!"

Liu Qiao was shocked, Xiong Wencan directly promoted Liu Jun from an eight-rank training general to a fourth-rank commander to serve as a garrison, which was already an exceptional promotion, and now the emperor has gone one step further and directly promoted Liu Jun to a guerrilla general. The guerrilla general is one level higher than the garrison, and belongs to the Qin mission, although he has no rank, but he is in command of the affairs, but he is a military position of the third grade, although he has added a signature, which means temporary agency, but it is also quite amazing.

However, Chongzhen did not give up, paused and continued, "Another hereditary brocade clothes and guards of Liu Jun are one hundred households. ”

Liu Qiao's heart jumped and he secretly glanced at the emperor's face. He is familiar with the emperor, once he takes a fancy to someone, it is not too much to be promoted to an exceptional reward, he was once promoted to thirteen levels a year. is also like Yuan Chonghuan in the past, who has also risen all the way, and now Yang Sichang, who is also very favored. Could it be that now the emperor has taken a fancy to Liu Jun again?

For Liu Jun, although Liu Qiao is far away in Beijing, he also knows it. His father once wrote to him to tell him that Liu Chengye's descendant Liu Jun came to Liu's house to recognize his relatives, and also said that he refused. Later, his father sent a few more letters, telling him that Liu Jun somehow won the appreciation of Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan.

This kid is really powerful, and now he has not only won the appreciation of Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan, he has gone straight to heaven and has been greatly appreciated by the emperor.

Wang Chengen hadn't polished the ink yet, and Emperor Chongzhen, who couldn't wait, had already personally lifted the ivory tube wolf pen and quickly wrote an edict.

"Liu Jun, the general manager of Huguang Lian, broke the bandits, and he was brave and generous, which is very gratifying. On the same day, General Lian was promoted to Huguang guerrilla general, and assisted the superintendent Yang Sichang and Premier Xiong Wencan to suppress bandits, drive out the rebels, and make another good report to secure the country. Liu Jun's previous achievements, non-heavy rewards can not motivate the soldiers, the department is in command of the affairs, and the hereditary brocade clothes and hundreds of households are rewarded, admire this! ”

After Chongzhen finished writing this simple edict in one go, he read it himself, put down the red pen, and then handed it to Wang Chengen.

Although Liu Jun was only a student of the Weiwu military force three months ago, it is indeed shocking that he has suddenly been promoted to a guerrilla general. But for the current chaotic and bad situation, Chongzhen really needs young people like Liu Jun to bring more good news to himself. Such a promotion of Liu Jun is also a move of a thousand golden people, so that civil and military officials everywhere can see his attitude.

After writing this edict, Chongzhen turned around a few times in front of the imperial case with his hands behind his back, and said, "Send a secret decree to Yang Sichang, let him take Xiong Wencan's decree and pause it before, and allow Xiong Wencan to look at the crime and atone for his crimes."
