Chapter 333
After the battle at Juyongguan began, it lasted for nearly half a month. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
Because of the sudden heavy snowfall, the soldiers guarding the pass got a little respite, the snow was slippery, and the momentum of the attack could only slow down.
In the city, Zhang Qianyuan delayed again and again, but still determined how to donate money and clothes to the officials of various provinces at a critical moment.
The money and food were sent to the front, and the soldiers defending the city were finally able to eat a full meal, and the situation was no longer one-sided, and the two sides were deadlocked.
The Tartars couldn't attack it, and Zhu Jinrui's soldiers couldn't attack it because of the serious attrition.
But fighting a war is a terrible existence that can empty the treasury, not to mention that the treasury is already empty.
The stalemate situation is not good for both sides, and the war has continued to this day, even if there is a shortage of major generals in the Ming Dynasty, it is not because the Tartars can enter the customs at will.
In February, after the Manchu Dynasty was dressed in plain clothes, the Tartars finally retreated, and Emperor Jing slapped his big hand on the throne and gave Zhu Jinrui a will to ask for pursuit.
The capital is poor and not chasing, and the Tartars just didn't take advantage of it this time, and where is the defeat.
Zhu Jinrui held the holy decree, and his cold and sharp gaze was just about to stare at the blood hole of the palace person who passed the decree.
The northwest is still in the hands of the Tartars, that is his fiefdom, so he naturally has to find a way to recover it, but one does not pay the army, the second does not give grain and grass, and the third does not give supplies, pursuit? It's faster to chase in dreams.
The army was still stationed in Juyong Pass, and the performance of asking for military salaries, grain and grass was only one day to send it to Emperor Jing at the frequency of three meals.
Emperor Jing was furious, and most of the furnishings in the Wuying Hall were smashed, but no matter what kind of will was sent, if he didn't give the army food, food, and grass, he wouldn't set off.
"Master Qu, this King Yu's attitude seems to be a little uncertain?"
Since Yu Youtai was crowned King Guang, Emperor Jing no longer has the faint trust in Gu Enyang as before, and Gu Enyang has been a man with his tail between his legs since then.
Emperor Jing's mind is becoming more and more unpredictable day by day, the six old people in the pavilion are in danger, and the peace Zhishi in Qu Wenhai's imagination no longer exists.
"Let's wait and see, but now the situation is still unclear, after this heavy snowfall, I am afraid that you and I will be a little difficult to support."
Two days ago, the secretary of the military department was already said to be sick, although Emperor Jing fell again, he didn't say anything to do, Qu Wenhai knew that Zhang Qianyuan had always had this plan, but his position in the head of the department was too sensitive, if he really dared to pick a son at this time, Emperor Jing would be able to raid his home.
Gu Enyang's heart moved, and he suppressed this thought in an instant, Qu Wenhai said that he could take refuge if he was sick, and he said that he was dead.
The two looked at each other and sighed, and went out of the palace gate to go back to their respective homes.
The situation in Beijing is not very clear, although Qu Qingyan can vaguely guess a little bit of Zhu Jinrui's plan in her heart, but the New Year has already passed, and she, a foreign official, should also leave for Yueyang.
"Fourth brother, don't send those goods to the capital for the time being, the second brother will help you contact the buyers in Jiangnan, if you can, you won't touch those goods recently, but understand?"
During the period of time after the year, many merchants inside and outside the capital were exiled because of such and such things, Zhu Jinrui's performance was delivered too frequently, and he held soldiers in his hands, and Emperor Jing compromised after a stalemate with him for half a month.
The fastest way to get money by raiding the family and destroying the family...... If Qu Qingyan knew that this method was learned by Emperor Jing and her, I don't know how she would feel.
"The second brother can rest assured, and the fourth brother knows it."
She was arranging around to earn some silver taels just so that she could give herself a helping hand when she wanted to be promoted one day in the future, and now she ...... No need.
The carriage out of Beijing swayed slowly, and only halfway through the journey, I received the news that Yu Youtai had entered Fujian.
This person came back quickly, it is estimated that he watched Zhu Jinrui rebelliously roast Emperor Jing on the fire, and the current situation will not affect him again, so he has come back in less than half a year.
The Guangwang Mansion in Yueyang City was not built quickly, because the treasury was tight during the war, only the main hall and the front hall were completed, and the apse had not yet had time to be built.
Yu Youtai has not yet gotten married, and there are no concubines and beauties in the house, so it doesn't matter much if there is a backyard.
As soon as Qu Qingyan arrived in Yueyang, he was concerned about the official move into the palace, and in a few days, Yuyoutai would arrive in Yueyang, and the Guangwang Mansion should also be officially opened.
The arrears of military salaries are like astronomical sums, Emperor Jing has the heart to make up but can't make up enough, he has already swept his eyes over the ministers, and everyone who has not had time to say that they are sick has a faint chill in their hearts.
The officials and Dali Temple suddenly got busy, and someone handed Emperor Jing a report on the corruption and bribery of a certain official, which was like a stone smashed into the lake to set off ripples.
The ripples lingered for a long time, intensifying, and gradually the revelations and reports were sent to Emperor Jing's bookcase.
Jingzhong was completely messed up, like the strings on the marionette's body were twisted into a mess, and there was such a situation in front of Emperor Jing.
And the army of Juyongguan still has not retreated.
An urgent order was sent to the barracks, and Zhu Jinrui entered Beijing overnight with 500 personal soldiers.
"If King Yu becomes the emperor, what do you think?"
On the second day after Yu Youtai returned to Yueyang, he took a group of people in the temporary mansion and waited for them, and lived in the Guangwang Mansion without any ceremony and solemnity.
At such a moment, no matter what the ceremony is, it is too conspicuous, and with Emperor Jing's strange mind now, he should be careful in everything.
What's more, Yu Youtai didn't pay attention to the so-called ceremony from beginning to end.
It's not a long time to reunite, Brother Huan, who has just been breastfeeding and is stretching his arms and kicking his legs, has been carefully recuperated for nearly half a year, and he can't see that he has any premature birth.
I just don't know why, several nurses take turns to feed, but he is not too big to be short of milk, although he does not have the weakness of premature babies, but he looks a little smaller than babies of the same age.
With his stature, he can also round out the rhetoric that Qu Qingyan used to say in front of Emperor Jing.
Qu Qingyan's eyes fell on Brother Huan from the moment he entered the door, while Yu Youtai looked at her with good eyes.
"Someone is going to sit on this emperor's throne, does it matter who that person is?"
"Of course it's related, if Qingyan wants to...... I have a piece of music in my hand, as long as I hand it over, my majesty is afraid that there will be some movement immediately. ”
can send Tuesday to Zhu Jinrui's side, he naturally has to keep a hand.
Qu Qingyan withdrew his gaze, was silent for a long time, turned around and went out, called the nurse to take Brother Huan away.
"I don't need to let me know what the prince is planning."
Since I never told her from beginning to end, why bother asking her opinion now.
As long as she calls him the prince, it means that she is faintly disgusted in her heart, and Yu Youtai can now figure out her thoughts, so she is busy explaining.
"I know you have ambitions in your heart and don't want to huddle in the backyard all day long, but my background is destined to prevent me from getting to that position, and my ancestral system cannot be broken.
"I can't sit in that position for you to rely on, so I can only think of a way, Zhu Jinrui has known your origin for a long time, and he has always been concerned about you, but he values the Lord Shangshuqu of the Ministry of Rites behind you more.
"Master Qu is friendly with Master Gu, if he really has a way to make you wholeheartedly devoted to him, with your ability and means and the Qu family behind him, he will definitely become the biggest help behind him.
"He has always been unwilling to be only a vassal king, since he is not reconciled, then I will help him with a hand, although he has a lot of calculations in your affairs, but he is also a good person, if he ascends to the pole one day, as long as I am safe enough, he will not do anything to you.
"And because of his unwillingness to you, your official career can be smooth, after all, it is always the best to get it, and his eyes will be unrestrained and want to fall on you."
Not counting the explanation of the explanation, Qu Qingyan looked slightly distracted, did he do all this just to pave the way for her?
"Aren't you afraid that the day he ascends to the pole will be when your and my heads will land?"
As a king, who would let others hold the disgraceful evidence of the hidden dragon in their hands, only the dead will not speak, if she is Zhu Jinrui, no matter what Yu Youtai has helped, he will be the first to disappear from this world.
"No, I promised you that you would let you live the life you want, if you want to continue to be an official, you can do it, and if you want to be an official, you can also worship the cabinet, as long as you let me stay by your side."
He also had ambitions in his heart, but now he is just changing Qu Qingyan to help him realize it, which is also the best arrangement for him.
