Chapter 73: General Tao Shoots the Wolf with Arrows (6)

Wang Zhixin and Wang Chengen, as the number one and second eunuchs of the celebrant eunuchs, are ranked first, but they are not strong or weak in shili. Although Wang Chengen is under the heart of the king, he is also the commander of the East Factory according to the custom, and he is not weaker than the master of ceremonies.

When the two met the East Palace, they were so enthusiastic that Zhu Cihong was very unaccustomed to it. Although he never called Wang Chengen "Factory Gong", but when he met it in the past, he still had to make a look of respecting the old minister, where was he raised so high by the two Da Jue like now.

"Who is the emperor talking to?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"It's Mr. Chen."

It turned out to be Chen Yan.

Zhu Cihong responded. In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, it was not popular to call the chief "adult", and only the first assistant could enjoy the treatment of "old gentleman". Generally speaking, "adult" is also commonly referred to as a term for parents.

"Could it be that something is going on again?" Zhu Cihong asked casually.

It is impossible for the Emperor to leak what he said when he received his ministers.

It's like it can't snow in summer.

However, it did snow in the summer during the Xiaoice Age, so the conversation between the emperor and the vassal could naturally leak out.

"Actually, it's about Your Highness." Wang Chengen was bold and said first: "It's about the Chengguo Gong's attack on the Feng, as well as the recommendation of the Dingguo Duke and the British Duke to take charge of the Beijing camp." ”

"Hmm," Zhu Cihong nodded, "I still have to bother the two princes, help me see when Bixia will summon me." ”

"Your Highness, please sit down in the side hall for a while." Wang Zhixin smiled: "Lao Chen, let's go and take a look." ”

There are Benren Hall and Jiyi Hall as side halls on the left and right sides of the Wenhua Palace, and there is also a cross-courtyard called the Chuanxin Palace, which is the place to worship Confucius before the beginning of the sutra feast. Zhu Cihong studied in Benren Hall for a while when he was a child, and it is interesting to revisit his hometown now. It's just that before he had time to enter, he heard the sound of the class horn, and it turned out that the emperor had finished facing it, and the first assistant Chen Yan was about to leave the palace.

After a while, Wang Zhixin turned to Zhu Cihong and said, "Your Highness, Bixia has a will, please see you in the main hall." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, but there were some doubts in his heart. The main hall is the apse of the Wenhua Palace, and the regulations should be similar to the Wenhua Palace. In terms of function, it is generally the place where Chongzhen receives the minister after listening to the lecture. Since the Wenhua Hall can be used, Chongzhen generally rarely goes to the main worship hall, which can save the trouble of moving around.

Even if the Son of Heaven goes to the toilet, it is a very complicated matter!

Zhu Cihong walked along the corridor to the main hall, and there were naturally Han generals and chamberlains at the door. After waiting for the summons to arrive, Zhu Cihong was able to enter in a serious manner, without any special treatment just because he was the emperor's eldest son.

This is the rite of passage, separating people from other categories.

When Zaijian arrived in Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong was quite unaccustomed.

Although it was only less than a month of separation, my father, who had just passed the year of his establishment, had already grown gray hair and looked old in the dim candlelight.

Chongzhen is routinely thrifty, and even the lights and candles in the palace must be strictly controlled. It is only when the minister is received that the lights are brightly lit.

Now that he just sees his son, the light is naturally much weaker.

Zhu Cihong stepped forward to say hello, and the afterglow swept over Chongzhen's sleeves, and the cuffs of the faintly exposed middle coat were already hairy, and he didn't know how long this dress had been worn. The world knows that the heavenly family is luxurious, and the underwear and underwear are changed every day. When Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the clothes that were changed every day became a change every three days, and later became a change every five days, and Zuihou reached the point where he didn't wear them out and didn't change them.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong had some feelings for Chongzhen. The emperor is so frugal, but for the crown prince and other princes and princesses, Chongzhen does not have the slightest intention of deducting it, and still lives a luxurious life that is unimaginable to the world.

"Is my son still used to being away?" Chongzhen's lips squirmed, and he finally asked the question he didn't want to ask. He felt countless times that he should speak about military affairs, but when he saw his son's immature and mature face, he finally couldn't help but show the "appearance of a little woman".

"Everything is fine outside." Zhu Cihong responded. He suddenly felt that he should add some "moving", but decades of thinking inertia made it difficult for him to find this emotion. The brain has provided him with many powerful thinking weapons, making him far superior in memory and logical ability, but at the same time depriving him of many emotional things.

Chongzhen nodded, gradually regained the dominant side of the empire, and said, "The Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Britain recommended you to take over the Beijing camp, do you know?" ”

"Erchen got the letter a few days ago." Zhu Cihong said: "I just feel that the recommendation of the lord seems to be a little abrupt. ”

Chongzhen showed appreciation: "People are self-aware, you can know that you have shortcomings, this is extremely haode." I often tell you the story of Sui Yang, is it because their talent is not good? No, it is precisely because the talent is too good, so he is stubborn and self-serving, which breaks the fortune of the country. ”

Zhu Cihong lowered his head and didn't let the wry smile come out. These words were originally wise sayings, but they were uttered by a stubborn emperor, which is too ironic.

"But I still hope you can go to Beijing to raise the army." Chongzhen said thoughtfully: "The Beijing camp of the National Dynasty has always paid food and salary from the inside, waiting for the Son of Heaven to be in the army. However, it has been in the hands of the lords, and now it seems that those lords are really responsible for my family! I heard that your Donggong guards are all heroic and vigorous, and they have the appearance of a strong army, and it seems that you also have capable people to help, so it is better to give you the Beijing camp, and if you have some success, it will come in handy. ”

Zhu Cihong was naturally very happy to get the emperor's approval, and as for being looked down upon by his father again, this was already expected. He said: "Father Bixia, son-in-law went out of the palace this time, and really got the help of loyal and righteous people. And the effect is also obvious, the Jingshi market has gradually recovered, and the plague disaster is over, but I don't know how to reward them. ”

"Heaven's reward is nothing more than the word wealth." Chongzhen taught: "But you have to remember that if the reward is too heavy, you will be domineering, and if the reward is insufficient, there will be resentment. The best way for the emperor is to make him full and insufficient, so that he can always serve the king, and it is also the way to protect good ministers. ”

Chongzhen paused, and then said: "But the mourning of the deceased may as well give more, first, to let the living know that the heavenly family is benevolent, and secondly, it can be regarded as a monarch and minister." ”

"Erchen understands." Zhu Cihong knew that Chongzhen was referring to Chengguo Gong.

The plague that broke out in Chengguogong's house was fierce, not only did no one in the mansion escape the catastrophe, but even the guards of the East Palace who went in to prevent the epidemic died several times. Queen Zhou heard the rumors outside at that time, and fainted at that time, but fortunately, someone later said that although the East Palace went to the Chengguo Mansion, it was safe and sound, which was better.

"There can be no next time when it comes to becoming a national prince." Chongzhen said suddenly.
