Boom!

The sound of the bell chime sounded.

Mao Weizhang, a hundred households in Jinyi, couldn't help but nervously straighten the military attache hat on his head, for fear of revealing a little bit of money rat tail.

Immediately after, there was the sound of lifting the curtain.

Mao Weizhang's heart was pounding, and he thought that His Majesty was about to appear, but when he glanced at it, he saw a cluster of red and green fringed skirts swaying in.

I also heard the sound of the bowl of cloth.

Mao Weizhang guessed that this was the palace maid arranging the emperor's dinner, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As for how these palace maids looked, he naturally didn't dare to look up, in the north, good-looking girls basically hid and didn't dare to come out, for fear of being ruined by the tartars.

Therefore, he has not seen the appearance of a beautiful woman for a long time, and today he just took a look at it from the afterglow, and he felt the unparalleled royal style of the harem beauties.

However, as soon as he smelled the smell of food, he became even more unbearable, and even remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day.

At this point, he felt that his stomach was already growling with hunger.

Just when Mao Weizhang thought of the tassel skirt of Gong'e to the harem beauties and the laughter and big fish and meat on the banks of the Qinhuai River, he heard heavy footsteps.

"See Your Majesty!"

The soft words of the woman who couldn't be more crispy were like thunder, which made Mao Weizhang tremble.

The emperor is here.

The Emperor Daming, who I was looking forward to seeing all the way, came up!

"Why don't you announce him in!"

A mighty and inoffensive man's voice came into Mao Weizhang's ears, and he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, Rao was not so nervous when he drank wine and ate meat with the Qing army in Hejian Mansion to inquire about secrets.

A bundle of dust flicked at him: "Come in, Your Majesty summons you." ”

"Thank you princess", Mao Weizhang smiled, and hurriedly walked over, as soon as he saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark emperor's regular clothes sitting there with a calm face, Mao Weizhang was frightened and crawled down: "Mao Weizhang of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei in Hejian Mansion asks the emperor to say goodbye!" ”

Although Jin Yiwei is an official of the foreign court, after all, he is the emperor's private person, especially Mao Weizhang, a spy who performs secret missions, has a close relationship with the emperor and can be directly responsible for the emperor, so he is commensurate with family etiquette and calls Zhu Youzhen the emperor, so as to distinguish him from the officials of the outer court and the chief eunuch of the inner court.

"Flatten, raise your head and look at me," Zhu Youzhen said.

"Emperor Xie", Mao Wei stood up, raised his head, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen's thin and long face with a thick short beard under his chin, he couldn't help jumping up in his heart, he didn't know what to say for a while, he forgot all the words he had prepared along the way, and he could hardly see the palace maids and eunuchs on the side.

Chen Yuanyuan and the others had to hide behind the screen and laugh secretly.

Although Wang Chengen coughed a few times, Mao Weizhang couldn't hear anything like a deaf person at this time.

"You must be hungry, it's the first time you go to Beijing to do something", Zhu Youzhen took the initiative to ask.

"Back to the emperor, yes, in the past, Wei Qianhu came to Beijing directly, but this time Wei Qianhu had something to do, so he sent a small one", Mao Weizhang replied.

"The speech is quite sharp, this way is fast, I must be tired and hungry, let's eat first, after eating, Wang Chengen will take it down to bathe first, and then come here to reply", Zhu Youzhen entered the screen after speaking, and saw that Chen Yuanyuan and the others were still snickering, so he hooked Chen Yuanyuan's chin: "What are you laughing at, when you first met me, you were no better than him." ”

Chen Yuanyuan pouted slightly, followed Zhu Youzhen into the warm pavilion with a shy face, and began to massage Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty is tired for a day, you must be tired." ”

Here, Mao Weizhang was flattered, he didn't expect to enter the palace to reply, and there was this benefit, there could be a banquet from the emperor, he hurriedly thanked him, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he entered the dining place.

However, because Zhu Youzhen and the palace ladies are across the screen, he is not good at gobbling up, so he has to eat gently, and he is not good at gnawing chicken legs and pig's trotters, he is afraid that he will make a disturbance because of this, and he is also afraid that his mouth will be stained with oil, and he will reply later, which will affect His Majesty's perception.

Here, the eunuch personally poured him a glass of wine, but he only took it carefully, and did not dare to drink it: "There is a father-in-law." ”

Mao Weizhang couldn't help but secretly swear that he would show off in front of the other brothers when he went back.

"Mao Weizhang, how is the heart of the people in the north, do the people still remember me, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how is my heart for the Qing court?" Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and let Chen Yuanyuan massage on his body, and asked Mao Weizhang at the same time.

Mao Weizhang had to quickly swallow all the grains of rice: "Back to the emperor's words, the people in the north are now complaining, and they have begun to think of Your Majesty, saying that you at least do not occupy their land, originally these people really believed that the Qing army came just to change the dynasty, and they were even more happy to avoid three rings, but from this head shaving order and enclosure order, there have been several rebellions in the entire north, but they have been suppressed by the Qing court." ”

"After the defeat of this Duoduo, the Qing court has not stopped the order of land enclosure?"

Zhu Youzhen watched Mao Weizhang eat a few more bites before asking again.

Mao Weizhang didn't dare to eat anymore, and respectfully put the dishes and chopsticks back: "Father-in-law, the little one is already full, please take it down." ”

The eunuch glanced at Mao Weizhang suspiciously, the seven-foot-tall strong man only ate half a bowl and said that he was full, and the amount of food was smaller than that of the concubine Niangniang, who would believe it, didn't he think that the food at the imperial banquet was not to taste?

Here, Mao Weizhang got up and answered Zhu Youzhen's question with a sense of fullness of only three points: "Back to the emperor's words, the Qing court has not stopped enclosing land recently, according to the people of Shuntianfu, it has become more and more intense, not only to drive out the Han people in Beijing City, but now I am afraid that the entire Shuntian Mansion will become the territory of the Manchurians. Now this enclosure order is getting worse and worse. ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but ponder at this time, Mao Weizhang understood the truth of a small brocade cloth and hundreds of households, and he believed that it was impossible for Dolgon not to understand.

In fact, the historical Qing court enclosure order did continue until Kangxi took power, and then began to gradually cease.

Although Zhu Youzhen hated the Qing emperor, he also admitted that none of them were stupid people, and it was impossible for them not to know the harm of this enclosure.

There is only one reason for doing so, and that is to satisfy the interests of groups that are more important than easing the Manchu-Han conflict.

If Zhu Youzhen guessed correctly, it should be the Manchu military aristocrats, these Manchu military aristocrats must be rewarded after entering the customs, and after tasting the benefits of occupying the land in the pass, they will be willing to follow the Aixin Jueluo family and fight the world for the Qing royal family.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Youzhen was also a lot relieved: "It's a good Dolgon, and it's also thanks to the fact that I lost the hearts of the people in the north before, so that Dolgon took advantage of the loophole, and now he can harm and abuse the people unscrupulously." ”
