Daming Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the royal road outside the Qianqing Palace.

Just after the end of the small court meeting, Zhang Yan was dressed in a solemn phoenix robe and the majestic appearance of the queen mother, and slowly walked towards the harem, followed by a team of palace maids and eunuchs.

Walking with him was Wei Zhongxian, the pen of the imperial front.

During this period of time, Li Mu was not in the palace, Zhang Yan restored the majesty that the Queen Mother should have, without a trace of little femininity, and with the help of the cabinet, she handled the cumbersome government of the Ming Dynasty with ease.

Shaanxi drought, Jinyiwei led the disaster relief is still carried out in an orderly manner, as long as you survive this winter, next year's spring, you can carry out sowing.

In order to ensure the smooth planting of next spring, the whole territory of Shaanxi has launched a wave of canal repair and well digging.

With the emergence of drought, the whole territory of Shaanxi has a large number of surplus labor, which does not require the imperial court to pay excess silver, as long as there is food, there will be a lot of strong labor, willing to respond to the imperial court's recruitment, and devote themselves to repairing canals and digging wells.

What's more, all these things done by the imperial court are for the people of the whole territory of Shaanxi, and there is no reason why the people are unwilling to pay for labor.

This also made the prestige of the Ming court in Shaanxi reach its peak, especially under the deliberate propaganda of Jinyiwei, the reputation of Zhang Yan, the Empress Dowager of Yi'an, became even louder among the people.

In addition to the drought relief in Shaanxi, post-disaster construction problems.

The inspection team's inspection of civilian officials, the statistical team set up by the Ministry of War, and the statistical problems of all the guards in the Ming Dynasty all need to be solved slowly.

Today, the small court meeting listened to the report of the Ministry of War, the statistics team has counted half of the data of the guard, when seeing the shocking results, Zhang Yan thought that the Daming Guard would have a concealment of the situation, but never thought that the Daming Guard had decayed to such a point.

This situation is a common phenomenon in the health centers that have been counted, and a large number of health centers have uneven personnel, lack of training, and old weapons.

It can be said that the military households in these guards are the same as ordinary people, they do not have any combat effectiveness, and even worse, they are not even as good as ordinary people, and they are as skinny as firewood.

Seeing the information submitted by these statistical groups, Zhang Yan was sincerely glad that Li Mu's proposal, if there was no such proposal to reform the military system.

Come to think of it, I don't know when the fact that Da Mingwei was abandoned will be discovered, and maybe it will never be discovered.

...

Walking on the royal road, Zhang Yan asked Wei Zhongxian beside him: "Duke Wei, how many days has it been that Mu Lang has been out of the customs with the brocade-clothed wolf guard for so long, doesn't there even have any news from Shanhaiguan?" ”

It's been more than ten months, Zhang Yan is in the palace, worrying about her lover day and night, but she can't get Li Mu's real-time information, so she can only ask Wei Zhongxian every day in anticipation of a miracle.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it has been more than two months since the Lord left the capital." Even if it was a cliché every day, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to slack off and inform him of the latest information.

"The old slave received the latest report from Shanhaiguan yesterday."

Before Wei Zhongxian could continue, Zhang Yan asked in surprise, "What did you say above?" ”

Sighing, Wei Zhongxian said: "Let the Queen Mother be disappointed, the report said that the first snow of this winter fell in Liaodong, and the snow was very heavy, which has blocked all the ways to Shenyang City, and also blocked the return to Shanhaiguan." ”

"The old slave thinks that when there is no heavy snow blockade, the exploration horses of the Liaodong border army do not dare to go too deep, and under the heavy snow blockade, it will be even more difficult to take the opportunity to get close to Shenyang City."

"Ugh." Zhang Yan was silent and no longer spoken.

Seeing Zhang Yan's frowning, Wei Zhongxian asked tentatively: "Queen Mother, otherwise the old slave will severely reprimand Shanhaiguan, and let Sun Chengzong send a horse to approach Shenyang City no matter what, and find out the news of the Lord." ”

"No need, it's not easy for Lord Sun to defend the Liaodong border, so don't make any more trouble." Zhang Yan stopped, she was very worried about Li Mu's safety, but it didn't reach the point of wasting people like this.

She knew that her lover had the ability to get out of danger, and there was no need to tell Wei Zhongxian beside her about this, just keep the secret in her heart.

"This, but the old slave's Dongchang found out from Mongolia that the Jurchen leader Huang Taiji's attack on Chahar has ended, and has won an unprecedented victory, I heard that countless people and animals have been captured, and I am ready to lead the Jurchen Eight Banners back to Shenyang City."

told the truth about Dongchang's discovery, and then said worriedly: "If the Jurchen Emperor Taiji really returns to the city with the Jurchen Eight Banners, the old slave is worried about the master..." ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to say the next words.

"What you want to say is that Mu Lang can't be the enemy of that Huang Taiji, right?" Zhang Yan spoke for him.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed down and pleaded: "The old slave doesn't dare, the Lord's heavenly and human resources are not comparable to the Jurchen traitor Emperor Taiji." ”

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with what you said, but the heavy snow in Liaodong is closing the road, what can the mourning family and you do? Is it the mourning family who ordered Shanhaiguan to rush to the aid of Shenyang City at all costs? Or did Duke Wei ask Dongchang to rush to Shenyang City with all his strength to protect Mulang's safety? ”

After a while, he continued: "I think if Mu Lang knew about it, he wouldn't agree. ”

At first, when she heard that the Jurchen Emperor Taiji would return to the city with the Jurchen Eight Banners, Zhang Yan's heart was also tight, as Wei Zhongxian said, she was also worried about whether Li Mu would be able to defeat the Jurchen Eight Banners.

"The old slave is incompetent? Shame with the Queen Mother. Wei Zhongxian also said with some frustration.

"Duke Wei." Zhang Yan looked up at the sky, a lonely goose just flew in front of him, looked at the figure of the lonely goose in the distance, and said slowly: "Mourning family, Daming, Liaodong Frontier, and you, now I can only pray, choose to believe, believe that Mu Lang can win, defeat the Jurchen Eight Banners who returned to Shenyang City, and return to Daming safely." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yan walked towards the harem with steady steps, and she was ready to go back to Renshou Palace to ask for the Bodhisattva and the Buddha.

Pray that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky can keep their lovers and keep this stormy Ming.

The harem is Wei Zhongxian's forbidden area, he doesn't care about crossing the thunder pool for half a step, he can only stand in place, bow down and say: "The old slave sends the queen mother." ”

At this time, Liaodong, where heavy snow closed the road, as Wei Zhongxian said, Li Mu ushered in his opponent, Huang Taiji won Chahar, and the triumphant class returned to Shenyang City.

Huang Taiji didn't know that in Shenyang City, there was a fierce beast that was pretending to sleep, with a group of greedy wolves, ravaging his people, robbing him of his wealth, waiting for him to bring back the Jurchen Eight Banners.

In the posture of waiting for the rabbit, prepare to fight the prey that is actively delivered to the mouth, and keep the spoils in the hands of the prey for yourself.
