Yu Zilian understood that Wang Chengen's pursuit of questioning must have been instructed by Emperor Chongzhen, so he replied very politely: "Non-officials don't care about the safety of the capital, the capital city is high, and there are also Jingying tigers, it is difficult for the Tartars to attack, and there are not many officials and a Ruzhou army." Speaking of the prince, you also know that this official and General Wu have always had old grudges, but we are only personal grudges, and in state affairs, we have always cooperated sincerely, and we dare not abolish the public with private interests. ”

"Miscellaneous knows! Miscellaneous family understands! Yu Shilang is loyal to the country, and the imperial grandfather and the elders also see it. Wang Chengen nodded again and again.

"Princess! The official is not afraid of making a fool of himself, when the official first put together this Ruzhou army, the army was full of good people, that is, a group of rabble, how could they fight with the fierce thieves? also encountered a critical situation several times, if it weren't for General Wu's two helps, the Ruzhou army would have disappeared long ago. After that, General Wu sent food and knives, so that the official could practice to strengthen the army. Although the official still can't get used to the appearance of General Wu's contemptuous husband, he is in trouble, and the official has the responsibility to go to the rescue. ”

"And that matter?" Wang Chengen was quite surprised by Yu Zilian's words.

"Indeed!" Yu Zilian nodded.

But Yu Zilian's words touched Wang Chengen's mind, and he was silent for a while before he sighed: "If the governors of the world are like the two of them, leaving behind their personal interests, then the emperor's grandfather will be relieved!" ”

These words made it difficult for Yu Zilian to speak, so he could only wait aside.

After waiting for a while, Wang Chengen suddenly came to his senses, and he hurriedly smiled and said to Yu Zilian: "I'm sorry!" Yu Shilang! The miscellaneous family was distracted. Let me ask you more, is General Wu sure that he has beaten the Tartars? ”

Yu Zilian thought carefully for a while, and replied: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, the Ruzhou army of this official is actually inferior to the Tartars, and the Runing army of General Wu's army is better than the army of this official." The two armies should be evenly matched. However, the Tartars and the official army originally had their own strengths, the official army was stronger than the guard, and the Tartars were mostly cavalry, stronger than the field battle, so Wu Zongbing fought this time...... This official is not very optimistic. But even so, the army of General Wu should kill quite a few Tartars. Although he doesn't want to say so, Wu Zongbing's character is indeed extremely inferior, but he is indeed a good soldier. ”

"What do you mean is to say: General Wu will be defeated, but he and the Tartars will also be defeated?" Wang Chengen asked.

Yu Zilian nodded and said, "It should be so." So the officer sent the cavalry to come to the rescue. These cavalry guarding the capital did not play a big role, but in the field, they always helped General Wu to help! ”

Wang Chengen was quite satisfied, because the questions that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to ask were answered, so he wanted to return to the palace to resume his life. But right now. Wang Chengen suddenly had a question in his heart, and he asked again: "There is still a strange thing in the miscellaneous family to trouble Yu Shilang!" Since Yu Shilang said so. Isn't it that the army of General Wu is already comparable to the Tartars? Is he also invincible? ”

"Definitely!" Yu Zilian said with a smile. "As far as this official can see, the army of Huguang Zuo Shuai is not weaker than this army, and I have also heard that Jinling Huang and Liu Ershuai are also brave and brave, and their army should not be underestimated, not to mention the Qin army of Inspector Hong and Shaanxi Fu Sun Gong, which should be better than this official's army."

"But why do they cower when they see the Tartars?" Wang Chengen is even more strange.

"Without him! Commanders of all stripes may be timid and afraid of war; or for their own personal gain; or not treating soldiers well. Why does the Ruzhou army of this official dare to fight? It is nothing more than a civilian death. The military attache is also fighting to the death. One more word to my father-in-law, does Mr. Wu have different intentions? The official can't guarantee it, but his courage to fight to the death, the official is quite admired! ”

"Yue Wumu's words are very good!" Wang Chengen sighed.

After returning to the temple. Wang Chengen repeated the conversation between himself and Yu Zilian to Emperor Chongzhen in detail, and Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a while after listening to it, and then sighed: "Hey! Yu Aiqing's character is high, I was deceived by the stroke of the DPRK before, and I almost missed this good minister! ”

Then Emperor Chongzhen thought that Wu Shigong would be defeated by the Qing army, and he felt a sense of relief all over his body, so he smiled and said to Wang Chengen: "If the son-in-law of Marquis Xue is defeated, don't blame him too much, at least he dares to fight." After this battle, let him return to Yangwu Marquis Mansion to raise it! Wang Companion! If you haven't said hello to Concubine Liu for many days, you can go to Cining Palace with me! ”

Concubine Liu is the concubine of Emperor Wanli, the grandmother of the emperors of the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, and has the highest rank in the palace, so Emperor Chongzhen also greets this elder from time to time.

But after the ceremony was done in Cining Palace, the family sat down and chatted about family life, but I didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to have such a rare opportunity to relax, and without saying a few words, he actually fell asleep with the case in his hands.

Of course, Concubine Liu felt very sorry for Emperor Chongzhen, and she didn't dare to wake him up, so she asked the palace maid to cover him with some clothes to avoid catching a cold, and the whole palace and the emperor's attendants were waiting with bated breath.

When Emperor Chongzhen woke up, he felt a little rude, so he said apologetically and self-deprecatingly: "When Shenzong was in the world, the world was safe and sound, and the palace was happy, which the concubine had seen with her own eyes." Now I am suffering from many difficulties, and I have been reviewing documents for two nights in a row, and I have not closed my eyes. I thought I was only in the prime of life, and I could withstand it, who knew that my physical strength was not competitive, and I couldn't hold myself in front of the concubine. ”

When the old lady heard this, the old lady reminisced about the past and the present, and couldn't help but shed tears to .......

Just when Emperor Chongzhen greeted Concubine Liu, Xue Lian's family was eating.

At this moment, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion hurriedly ran in, and he didn't care about saluting, he said in a panic: "Master Hou! Madam! Miss! Shizi! I just learned the news from the Ministry of War that my uncle is leading the army alone and is going to war with the Tartars. ”

"Daddy wins!" Xue Chenglin immediately cheered and jumped for joy, but he immediately heard the sound of chopsticks falling, and then saw his grandparents and mother's pale faces. Xue Chenglin was stunned all of a sudden.

Xue Lian was still slowing down, he barely squeezed out a smile, stroked the top of Xue Chenglin's head, and said, "Your father is Wansheng, hurry up and eat!" After eating, go play with your brother for a while. ”

The meal was tasteless, and Xue Chenglin also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he hurriedly filled his stomach and fled from the house. Seeing that Xue Chenglin had left, Mrs. Zhang immediately complained: "Why does this kid ignore himself? Master Hou! Will this battle be won? ”

After frowning for a while, Xue Lian shook his head and said, "It's not good to win!" It's not good to lose! Hey! "Whether it is the high achievement after the victory, or the circle back to the capital after the defeat, Wu Shigong and the Yangwu Marquis Mansion have not had a good end.

Listening to his father's words, Xue Yufei only felt a blank look in front of him, and immediately fainted. (To be continued......)
