Chapter 104: Splashing Grace

The emperor's such a blatant statement was also expected, and several old guys were silent. Li Xin came to the Wenhua Hall for the second time and met the famous Chongzhen Emperor for the third time.

"Long live the grass people, long ......live the grass people"

Zhu You ordered Li Xin to be exempt from courtesy, and looked him up and down carefully, shushing and asking for warmth. Li Xin was flattered, and the change in the emperor's attitude was too obvious. No wonder Xue Guoguan and Cao Huachun both unabashedly expressed their kindness to themselves when they entered the city yesterday.

But then the emperor's statement was like this, and the palace received important ministers to discuss state affairs, not just to express his favor to certain ministers in public. Zhu Youzhen allowed Li Xin to enter the hall and personally questioned him in front of Danqi, which was already an exception.

The little eunuch beside the emperor was also very discerning, and he came to the Danqi in small steps and led Li Xin, who didn't understand any rules, to the side, so that the emperor and the important ministers could discuss the matter. The topic of today's deliberation is how to deal with the aftermath after the Tartars have retreated.

And the first thing is to determine who will be the minister of the aftermath, this kind of errand is basically thankless, and the important ministers speak actively, but when it comes to who will take the lead, they are silent.

The sky was still cloudy, only a few flickering candles were lit in the Wenhua Palace, the light flickered on and off, Li Xin couldn't see Zhu Youzhen's expression clearly, but judging from his attitude of not saying a word, he was obviously angry.

The first issue involved in the aftermath is the resettlement of displaced people, which cannot be ignored in Gyeonggi. Yang Sichang, who was usually talking about politics and politics, began to be silent, but Fu Zonglong, Liu Juesi, and the marginalized Shangshu expressed their opinions and put forward various constructive opinions, but there was only one central idea, that is, to ask for silver.

The head of the household, Li Shiwen, jumped out and cried poorly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you know what the situation is in the household department, and don't you still have a penny of silver in the treasury?"

Xue Guoguan smiled and said: "Master Li, don't cry poor, don't you know when Xue someone, before the Tartar entered the Kou, there was just a sum of money into the treasury, why do you say that there is no money?" ”

Li Shiwen trembled slightly and immediately swore to the sky, "That is more than silver to rush the military salary, and now there is still a penny in the treasury, I, Li Shiwen, will give you the head!" ”

Xue Guoguan shook his head and smiled: "Master Li said that I am laughing, what do I want your head to do, it is only useful if you need silver!" ”

Li Shiwen, who was in a word, was flushed, and coughed suddenly and violently, and several important ministers next to him listened to it funny, some covered their mouths, and some couldn't hold back their laughter.

Yang Sichang had a cold face and reprimanded in a low voice: "The joke in front of the king, what kind of system has it become." ”

Everyone immediately put away their smiles, Yang Sichang is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, who dares to touch this moldy head when he speaks?

Only then did Yang Sichang turn around and salute the emperor: "Long live, the minister thinks that the top priority is how to greet and arrange the Hongsun Shaanxi army who is about to enter Beijing." ”

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, were ordered to rush to Beijing at night.

Zhu Youzhen, who had been silent for a long time, finally nodded, and a trace of relief appeared on his face covered in the shadows, not everyone shirked the responsibility, thinking of this, he glanced at Li Xin who was standing on the edge of the hall, only to see that he was standing upright, and he was as tall as a pine and cypress. The more I look at Li Xin, the more pleasing it is to the eye. ordered the little eunuch to move the embroidery pier to give Li Xin to sit on, and he was satisfied.

Several cabinet scholars and scholars were stunned by the emperor's actions, and in their impressions, the emperor's original courtesy to Yuan Manzi was nothing more than that.

"Hong and Sun can Yang Qing have a proposal?"

The candle flame jumped suddenly, and the light in the room suddenly brightened, driving away the shadow on Zhu Youzhen's face, but seeing that his brows stretched.

Yang Sichang pondered:

"The Shaanxi soldiers will stay in Jiliao, and the Beijing division must not be guarded without soldiers!"

This is also Lao Cheng's serious words, since the Guanning Iron Cavalry was wiped out, there are no elite soldiers in the entire Jiliao, and now the Central Plains thieves are basically cleared, and it is reasonable to transfer the most effective Shaanxi soldiers. This time, the ministers nodded in agreement.

But then the important ministers quarreled over the issue of what position to grant to the two, Yang Sichang mentioned yì by the governor of Hong Chengchou to go straight to the two provinces of soldiers and horses, but soon Zhang Sizhi, who had a white hair, jumped out, although the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was not very authoritative, but he was the emperor's teacher, and he still had a certain right to speak in the court.

"Lord Yang has a good calculation, and the soldiers of Zhijin have all been given to Hong Hengjiu, so where should Sun Ge Lao be?"

Yang Sichang replied expressionlessly: "Sun Ge is the first honor in this battle, and he should enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Sizhi laughed: "Sun Ge has long been a cabinet scholar, Lord Yang might as well say that he wants to pay Sun Ge's military power, right?" Save yourself from talking about it! ”

The courtiers all knew that Yang Sichang advocated talking to the Manchus, but this was never just said in private, but no one dared to bring it up in the court.

Li Xinzuo listened to the noisy shouting of the ministers on the embroidery pier, and a wave of sleepiness hit, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

I don't know how long it took, Li Xin woke up at dusk, the Wenhua Hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard, only to see a figure standing in front of him, Li Xin rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully, it was Zhu Youzhen, the son of tomorrow, and what made Li Xin even more shocked was that Zhu Youzhen was still looking at himself with a smile.

Li Xin was shocked, he actually fell asleep when the ministers were discussing in the Wenhua Palace, this Zhu Youzhen has always been mean and unkind, maybe what will he do with himself, right? But when he smiled, he didn't seem to be angry. In the midst of the lightning and fire, Li Xin was completely awake, and hurriedly got up from the embroidery pier and knelt down on his knees.

"Li Xin's capital crime!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen laughed again, and stretched out his hands to help him up.

"General Li has been fighting hard for days, and his body must be tired, what is the crime, what does it matter if my Ming hero lies on this Wenhua Hall and sleeps soundly?"

Zhu Youzhen sat Li Xin on the embroidery pier again, and the little eunuch had a very eye-catching eye to hold another embroidery pier, Zhu Youzhen sat down next to Li Xin, took Li Xin's rough big hand, and sighed.

"I've wronged you!"

After the four words came out, Li Xin was still moved, he did come through time, and many times he had the mentality of watching a play, but after all, he was not hard-hearted, the four words of Emperor Chongzhen did come from the bottom of his heart, how could he not be moved?

That is, Li Xin is from the 21st century, if he was born and raised in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor is so close and relieved, I am afraid that he will not regret it, and he will even faint with excitement. In any case, the corners of Li Xin's eyes moistened, and he couldn't imagine that the first words of relief from the hard work of the past few months were actually from the mouth of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Killing the Tartars is for the sake of this country and nation...... Li Xin said the true thoughts in his heart, but then he felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately closed his mouth, but he felt that it should be inappropriate to sit on the embroidery pier again, according to the normal play, the emperor should kneel and bow down to thank him for such a favor.

Li Xin pounced and knelt on the ground again.

"I am willing to die for His Majesty!"

Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied with Li Xin's appearance, this kind of misbehavior seemed to him to be an expression of his true temperament, and the sentence that he was willing to die for him was even more heartfelt.

It was only for a moment that he had the idea of reusing Li Xin unusually, and what position he should be given should be carefully considered.

At noon, Zhu Youzhen left Li Xin to eat in the palace, Li Xin heard that he could eat the imperial meal, and his heart was full of expectations, but he waited until the meal was served, but he was disappointed, saying that the imperial meal was just four dishes and one soup with clear soup and little water.

Emperor Chongzhen in history was famous for his frugality, but he didn't expect to save to this Cheng dΓΉ, and several dishes were shabby like this, and the legend said that Yan Bao Wing did not have it.

After noon, Li Xin left the Forbidden City with a hungry stomach, and the chief eunuch who had just left Donghua Gate and ordered him to enter the city in the morning hurriedly followed him with a pale face.

"General Li stays!"

Li Xin had a good impression of this chief eunuch, and it was also a polite return gift.

"I don't know what happened to my father-in-law?"

"The spies from the East Factory came to report the ...... in the morning," he said, lowered his voice and approached Li Xin's ear and said: "The people of Shuntianfu surrounded the general's courtyard in the Taiji Factory before dawn, searched inside and out, and left in a hurry. ”

Immediately, he pulled away again and resumed his normal volume, "The general has been left in the palace by Banzai, which is a bad thing for our family." ”

Li Xin moved, it turned out to be a person from Shuntianfu, when did he offend Shuntianfu? It seems that Shuntianfu was only pulled down to sparring on the stage, and the real murderer behind the scenes should still be in the shadows. In the midst of lightning, Li Xin found a flaw in last night's emergency.

Seeing Li Xin in deep thought, the chief eunuch thought that Li Xin was worried about his own safety, and said with a smile: "Although General Li can rest assured, our family has arranged people from Dongchang, and those with bad intentions want to get closer to that courtyard, but it is better than Dengtian." ”

The safety of the Taiji factory is indeed a big problem, Li Xin thanked him again, and then slapped his head again, and said with a smile: "Haven't you asked your father-in-law for his name?" ”

The chief eunuch didn't care and said: "What is the surname Gao in our family, my parents were originally named Gao Keng when I was at home, and Cao Gong called our little Gao Zi......"

"Li Xin has something I want to ask Grandpa Gao."

Gao Keng waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Li is very polite, even if he is told!" ”

"There is a street hall in Dongjiang Rice Lane, and I want to ask my father-in-law to check their details."

After all, Li Xin still wanted to check the identity of the little brother Huang, and many things were too coincidental and unusual.
