After Emperor Chongzhen announced the so-called reward, he deliberately focused on Gao Qiqian, "Now that the society is in turmoil, all the secretaries must be sincere and united, work together to overcome difficulties, what I said just now, I hope to keep it firmly in mind, but there are negligent leaks, even if it is my own minister, I will not show mercy!" ”

Gao Qiqian suddenly shivered, and kowtowed with everyone to thank him. In his heart, he was secretly glad that Zhu Ping'an's life experience was a royal secret, so he didn't talk about it to Yang Sichang and others, otherwise it would have been a big mistake. Emperor Chongzhen's words just now made it clear that he was saying it to himself, that is, to prevent himself from communicating with Yang Sichang in private and leaking the matter of Zhu Ping'an.

The recital lasted for more than an hour, and Emperor Chongzhen's body was also a little tired, so he let everyone disperse. waited until Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang and others withdrew from the warm pavilion, then nodded at Wang Chengen, and then drove back to the dormitory accompanied by Huaide.

But Zhu Ping'an opened his mouth again, "The minister still has something to say!" ”

Chongzhen was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand, "Speak!" ”

Zhu Ping'an knelt down in front of Chongzhen, "Please forgive your majesty for being reckless, and the minister also wants to ask your majesty to give you a reward!" ”

Chongzhen laughed hehehe, "Say it to me, I haven't seen anyone who takes the initiative to ask for a reward, as long as it's not too much, I will answer you!" ”

"Xie Majesty, minister, minister......!" Zhu Ping'an actually stood up, and his face was also red.

"Speak up! I forgive you for your innocence! Seeing Zhu Ping'an's appearance, Chongzhen became more and more interested. Even Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and others became curious.

"Minister....... This, the minister dares to ask His Majesty xià to give marriage! ”

"Marriage?" Chongzhen was stunned, he never expected Zhu Ping'an to stutter for a long time. It was actually this request.

"Hehe, it is the proper meaning of a young talent to marry a beautiful woman, but you should talk about it, which lady you have fallen into, I will call the shots for you!"

"Ahh 陛xià, 陛xià agreed? Zhu Ping'an raised his head incredulously.

Chongzhen was immediately amused by him like this, "Look at you like this." Is it still the general who fought bloodily in the army of 10,000 horses? I am the Ninety-Five, the words that come out. There is no reason to regret it, so to speak! ”

"Yes!" Zhu Ping'an immediately came to his senses, "The minister wants to marry the daughter of Mr. Yan Zi, the great Confucian of the Beijing Division, please call the shots!" ”

"Mu Yanzi?" Chongzhen was stunned. But I suddenly remembered that according to Wang Chengen's report, this Mu Yanzi was still Zhu Ping'an's enlightenment teacher in the Tang Dynasty's mansion, it seems that Zhu Ping'an and his daughter are two little guesses, childhood sweethearts, so to speak, it is a good story, I might as well be an adult, send the Buddha to the west, and do good things to the end.

Emperor Chongzhen twisted his beard and smiled. Nodding frequently, "Is Mu Yanzi's daughter willing?" ”

"Back to His Majesty, the minister and Mu Yuling are in love. Love each other, please give your majesty a marriage! ”

Chongzhen thought about it carefully, "Isn't it because Mu Yanzi doesn't agree, so you will ask for me?" ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "I can't hide the eyes of my majesty!" ”

Chongzhen laughed. "You kid! He actually moved his mind to my head, or not. Just because of your merits, Mu Yanzi went to intercede for you, and the marriage was approved! ”

Zhu Ping'an was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Ping'an's appearance and couldn't cry or laugh, "I just won the reward, and I didn't see you so happy, this is my sincere gratitude, right?" ”

Zhu Ping'an didn't even dare to say it. Yang Sichang on the side was in a daze, and the inference just now collapsed in an instant. It seems that this Zhu Ping'an is very popular with the emperor, and from this point of view, it is not so simple to place him in Shandong.

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen stand up and drive back to rest.

Stayed in this Qianqing Palace for more than an hour, the clothes lined were all soaked with sweat, and even the legs were sore.

Zhu Ping'an followed behind everyone, outside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, sending the emperor away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to follow the team out of the palace. But he was stopped by a voice.

When I turned around, it was the middle-aged eunuch who had just stood behind Emperor Chongzhen.

He has a broad forehead, thin eyebrows and long eyes, a slightly chubby figure, and a smile on his face. Zhu Ping'an was stunned, but Cao Huachun turned around and glanced at it meaningfully, and then left quickly.

"Princess! But call the lower officer? In the conversation just now, Zhu Ping'an already knew Wang Chengen's name. Knowing that this is the only person who followed Emperor Chongzhen to the end, he admires him inexplicably in his heart, and Shi Li is also extremely respectful when he speaks.

"Lord Zhu is polite! At the behest of His Majesty, there are still some words for this reward, and I want to explain it clearly to my lord, please come to the room with my family! ”

Zhu Ping'an didn't dare to slack off, so he followed Wang Chengen to the duty room not far from the Qianqing Palace. As soon as he entered the duty room, Wang Chengen instructed his henchmen to take care of the duty room, and the idlers were not allowed to approach, which made Zhu Ping'an nervous.

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Ping'an's expression, couldn't help but smile, and personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhu Ping'an's hand. "Your Excellency, you don't have to mind, it's just that what our family says next involves the secrets of the Heavenly Family, and it is at the behest of the Lord of Long Live that we have to be careful!"

Looking at Zhu Ping'an's unknown appearance, Wang Chengen was relieved when he heard this, and sat down opposite Zhu Ping'an. "Dare to ask Lord Zhu, are you satisfied with the reward of Your Majesty this time?"

Zhu Ping'an was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and replied, "Where did my father-in-law say, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, this time with the emperor's grace, the lower official has become a second-grade military attaché, how can I not be satisfied in my heart?" ”

Wang Chengen smiled, "With all due respect, according to your military exploits this time, you only have the official position of deputy chief soldier, which is indeed a bit of a disadvantage to your lord." ”

Zhu Ping'an hurriedly wanted to explain, but Wang Chengen pressed him back into the chair. "Don't worry, that's not what our family meant. Instead, His Majesty asked our family to tell the adults, and these words could never be mentioned in front of the Korean Chinese martial arts, so they could only be said to our family. Into the ears of adults! ”

"Your Majesty also knows that he treats the adults lightly, but because the adults are from the clan, it is most suitable for this Shandong envoy to be sent by the adults!"

Zhu Ping'an looked confused.

"I can't hide it, my lord, father and son are loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty for two generations, and your majesty sees it in your eyes and remembers it in your heart. Before this court meeting, His Majesty had already learned the true identity of the adult, and the reason why he was not punished. I realized the helplessness and pain of the adult's father and son, and I also thought of leaving this mission to the adult! ”

Zhu Ping'an became more and more confused when he heard it. It took a long time. Chongzhen already knew his identity, so what kind of mission would it be handed over to him, and what does it have to do with going to Shandong to take office?

Wang Chengen saw Zhu Ping'an's doubts, and did not explain at the moment. Instead, he took out a map of the Ming Dynasty and displayed it on the table.

"My lord, please see, this is Dengzhou Mansion, this is Weihaiwei, Weihaiwei and Dengzhou Mansion are connected to a line, firmly controlling the coastline in the south of Shandong."

Wang Chengen smiled, with some elegance on his face, "We want to ask my lord, Dengzhou and Weihaiwei and Tianjin Wei face each other across the sea, if they cross the sea." How long does it take? ”

This Zhu Ping'an still understands, "If you go back to your father-in-law, sail with the wind." About two days, if you go against the wind, it's only four days! ”

"What about Tianjin Wei Zhijing Division?" Wang Chengen then asked.

"It's just a day's trip! ……？ Zhu Ping'an replied subconsciously, and then seemed to realize what Wang Chengen meant in and out of his words, but he couldn't grasp the point, so it was vague. The clouds were shrouded in mist, and for a while his forehead was covered with sweat.

Wang Chengen simply threw away the map. His eyes were fixed on Zhu Ping'an, "My lord is on the front line of Dengzhou and Weihaiwei, and with the holy oracle, he can naturally train the sailor." Let's dare to ask, if there is an accident in the capital division, how many days can the adults arrive? ”

"Seven days at most!" Hearing Wang Chengen's question, Zhu Ping'an was suddenly shocked, "What does my father-in-law mean ......!" ”

Wang Chengen nodded heavily, "Your Excellency finally understands what our family means, this is Your Majesty's expectation for your Majesty, please don't live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" ”

Zhu Ping'an was a little dizzy for a while, and sat back in the chair in a daze. What's wrong with this, could it be said that there has been a deviation in history, Emperor Chongzhen began to prepare for the worst possible situation as early as the twelfth year of Chongzhen, so why is there a tragedy in the real history of Chongzhen defending Beijing? Could it be that because of his own appearance, the whole history has begun to shift in other directions?

Tianjin, Dengzhou and Weihaiwei line, the journey at sea only takes a few days, once the Beijing division changes, the army of King Qin can arrive in Beijing within a few days, even if it cannot turn the tide of the war, it can also take the royal family to Shandong, or go south along the coast, to Jianghuai, Liangguang, and even Fujian and Guangdong. The world is so big, where can you not go! So, will there still be a situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty where they are fighting for each other?

Wang Chengen said slowly: "Now that the war in Beizhili, Shanxi, Henan and Hebei is eroding, and the eastern captives are going south from time to time, and the Liukou is rising again, seeing that the situation in the north is already out of control, as the king of a country, His Majesty has to consider the safety of Sheji, so he decided to send reliable courtiers in Tianjin Wei and Dengzhou in case of emergency!" ”

"Don't need it?" Zhu Ping'an sighed secretly, "In another five years, these preparations can come in handy!" ”

"Your Majesty's expectations for adults, do you understand?" Wang Chengen asked.

Zhu Ping'an reined in his thoughts, got up and bowed down: "The minister should die!" "No matter how much he has, let's go to Shandong first, at least there is a piece of territory, in the troubled times, this is the foundation of life.

Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction, "Our family will report the adult's reply to the emperor one by one, and the adult doesn't have to feel very stressed." Although Shandong has received the poison of the Donglu and the Liukou, and now the people are not able to make a living, but with the ability of adults, isn't this a good time to make contributions? ”

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Ping'an intently, and his eyebrows and eyes, which were quite similar to those of the old man, almost made his tears burst out of his eyes, but Wang Chengen bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, forcibly controlled his long-standing feelings, restrained his mind, and said word by word.

"Adults, remember, this is the grace of His Majesty, and it is also an opportunity for adults!" (To be continued) R580
