Chapter 174: The Great Depression

This time a beautiful victory was fought, and Sun Dan led his soldiers to harvest the spoils of war and capture 20,000 prisoners.

Those who are willing to go home will be paid travel expenses, and those who are willing to follow will change into Jin army clothes.

Strictly guard and guard at the nine gates, and reward the three armies.

Zhao Chengqian suffered internal injuries and lay in the tiger tent to recuperate.

Yifan left a long time ago.

After Zhao Chengqian woke up, he asked, "What about the queen?" ”

Li Dean said: "The queen mother is in the military doctor's office, helping to treat the injured. ”

Zhao Chengqian smiled and said: "This girl is a knife mouth tofu heart, let me not take care of it, take care of those soldiers, and find her." ”

Li De'an responded.

Not much time.

Ye Long'er walked into the big tent and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Chengqian pretended to be in pain and said, "My heart hurts. "Clutching his chest.

Ye Long'er hurriedly said: "Hurry up and ask for a military doctor, I can't cure it if I come, I'm not a doctor." ”

Zhao Chengqian was angry and funny, and said: "You still know that you are not a doctor, I still think you are a miracle doctor." ”

Ye Long'er looked at him sarcastically and said, "The people I treat are all hard wounded, and you are an internal injury." ”

Zhao Chengqian pulled her into his arms and said, "You are the best healing medicine." After that, he went and kissed her on the mouth.

Li Dean hurriedly pulled the people out of the house.

As long as Ye Long'er touched him, he felt uncomfortable, had a sense of rejection, and pushed him to dodge.

Zhao Chengqian knew that she didn't like herself, so he pressed her down on the bed and said, "I want you." ”

Ye Long'er stopped him and said, "I said that I had the wedding night. ”

Zhao Chengqian made an inch and said, "I can't wait." ”

Ye Long'er was so frightened that Fang's heart was beating wildly, and said, "Don't force me, the emperor." ”

Zhao Chengqian went to untie her clothes.

Ye Long'er grabbed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, be sober." ”

Zhao Chengqian looked down, she was about to turn her face again, stopped, and asked, "I give you time." ”

Ye Long'er wanted to escape from bed.

Zhao Chengqian lay beside her, hugged her and said, "Don't go, I just want to hold you quietly like this." ”

Ye Long'er moved, did not break free, did not resist, and lay quietly on the bed.

I slept all night.

Day 2.

Zhang Cheng led his troops to continue to lead his troops to fight.

Zhao Chengqian returned to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries.

Since the victory at the Nine Gates, every battle since then has ended in failure.

Zhao Chengqian remembered what the master said, although the master said half of it, he only realized the truth today, and the meaning of the words of a Taoist is that the nine gates are the dividing line.

Now Chen's military spirit is not exhausted, and he can only lose his troops and generals if he continues to fight, recall Zhang Cheng, recuperate, and the soldiers have been fighting every day for half a year, and they are tired of it.

Zhang Cheng took the soldiers back to Beijing to resume his life.

The battle ended with heavy losses on both sides, a market collapse and skyrocketing prices.

Originally, two copper coins could have a breakfast, a bowl of chaos, a bun, five copper coins, a meat dish, and a bowl of shredded meat noodles.

Now ten copper coins can buy a bun. One tael of silver is enough for lunch.

The prices of grain and oil stores have risen, rising twice a day, and there is no stock in this way, some are closed, and some are not in stock.

The old white surname complained bitterly.

Zhao Chengqian was at a loss and sent troops out to suppress it, but to no avail.

The old man Wei Chen was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles, if he continued like this, he would defeat himself.

There are reports from all over the north, people are dying of starvation every day, and cannibalism is developing in some places.

Zhao Chengqian said: "How can this be? I have already ordered the opening of the treasury to release grain, why can't I suppress it? ”

Wei Chen said: "It seems that someone is obstructing it, and the soldiers are being controlled, and some people have made a fortune from it." ”

Zhao Chengqian shouted: "I have conquered all the battlefields, I am invincible, and I can't cure the economy, so I called Honghua from the Criminal Department." ”

Li De'an responded.

When Hong Hua heard the news, he trotted all the way to Zhenghua Palace to meet the emperor, wiped the sweat on his forehead in front of the door, and asked Li De'an in a low voice: "Gonggong Li, what did the emperor do to me?" ”

His daughter was dismissed as the queen because she was not angry, for fear that this matter would implicate her, so she fidgeted every day, and listened to the emperor summon her today.

I don't know which leg of Mai came to the palace, and my heart was in my throat.

Li Dean saw his unproductive expression and said, "I don't know this." He shouted, "Lord Hong has arrived." ”

Hong Hua tidied up his clothes and hat, and walked in tremblingly.

Zhao Chengqian sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, Hong Hua's heart was furious, and he said, "See the emperor." ”

Zhao Chengqian asked: "Honghua, do you know that there is a financial crisis now?" ”

Hong Hua said: "The minister knows, but this is not the minister's purview, and the minister can't do anything." ”

Zhao Chengqian asked, "What do you do?" ”

Hong Hua said: "Weichen is arresting. ”

Zhao Chengqian said: "Okay, then you will arrest Li Chaonan, the household servant." ”

Hong Hua was stunned, he had the same official position as himself, how dare he arrest him, and said, "Your Majesty, this ......"

Zhao Chengqian said: "This is my will, you can arrest people." "Hand a list to Hong Hua.

Hong Hua took it and saw that there were more than 20 people written on the list, many of them were officialdom, and the largest business owner in the capital, the owner of Tonghetang Grain and Rice Store was Wei Chen's brother-in-law.

How many people will be offended by arresting these, but the emperor's order will not be violated, and people will be arrested according to the list.

After a few days, these people were all arrested.

Hong Hua came to hand over again, arrested so many people, these are all grandfather's, scolded and scolded in the criminal department, and had to eat and drink well.

Zhao Chengqian shouted: "All of them were pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut down." ”

Hong Hua was startled, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked, "Cut them all?" ”

Zhao Chengqian said: "Yes, all of them were cut." ”

Hong Hua was so frightened that sweat suddenly rained down, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

This incident caused the entire capital to be restless, and the beheading was crowded with people.

He cut off the heads of more than 20 people and hung them on the head of the city for public display.

The grain and rice fell in a few days.

Zhao Chengqian asked: "There is another person named Mu Fugui, why don't you see him?" ”

Hong Hua was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, there is no name of him on the list." ”

Zhao Chengqian said: "Catch." ”

Hong Hua said: "Your Majesty, he is ......" did not dare to say down.

Zhao Chengqian: "I know, I will arrest people first." ”

Hong Hua said: "Yes." ”

"Your Majesty, who are you going to arrest?" Mu Jingxian walked into the main hall.

Zhao Chengqian hurriedly stepped down from the dragon chair and said, "The son will see the queen mother." ”

Hong Hua Shili said: "See the Queen Mother." ”

Mu Jingxian said: "Lord Hong, you should retire and listen to the order." ”

Hong Hua Shili said: "Yes." "Exit it.

Mu Jingxian withdrew everyone again.

Only the mother and son were left in the main hall.

Mu Jingxian asked, "Qian'er, who else are you going to arrest?" ”

Zhao Chengqian knew that Mu Fugui was the cousin of the queen mother, and to arrest him was not to give Mu Jingxian face, to slap her in the face, and he didn't want to hide it, and said, "Mu Fugui." ”

Mu Jingxian nodded and said, "Aren't prices under control, you still have to toss, just stop in moderation." ”

Zhao Chengqian said: "Do you know how many bad things Mu Fugui has done in the capital with his mother? ”

Mu Jingxian said: "The mourning family knows that if it weren't for him, your grandfather wouldn't be alive today, so the emperor would just warn him." ”

Zhao Chengqian didn't like to listen, and said: "I have knocked on him many times, but I don't listen, this time the price is soaring, he is the one who is hindering him, do you know how much benefit he has gained?" Now I can say that he is richer than me. ”

Mu Jingxian said: "The mourning family asked him to hand over a part, and this matter will be handled by the mourning family." ”

Zhao Chengqian said: "The queen mother is asking her sons to cheat for personal gain. ”

Mu Jingxian said: "The queen mother only asks you for this one thing, you abolished Queen Hong and appointed Ye Long'er as the queen without authorization, didn't the mourning family say anything?" ”

Zhao Chengqian was stunned.

Mu Jingxian said: "Son, Mu Fugui didn't help our Mu family before. ”

Zhao Chengqian was in a dilemma, if he didn't catch it, he couldn't explain it to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and he caught it, and the queen mother talked about it.

"Your Majesty, it's not good." Li De'an ran in.

Mu Jingxian said coldly: "Li De'an, you are becoming more and more unruly. ”

Li Dean hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother atons for her sins." ”

Zhao Chengqian knew that something big must have happened, otherwise Li De'an would not be so unruly, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Li Dean said: "The queen and Uncle Mu Guo fought in the drunkard building. ”

Mu Jingxian and Zhao Chengqian were all shocked.

Mu Jingxian Mu Fugui caused trouble for himself at a critical moment, the emperor who just said was moved, this is good, everything is lost, and asked: "For what?" ”

Li De'an said: "I heard a report that Uncle Mu Guo was molesting the queen. ”

Mu Jingxian's eyes darkened, and now it's over, Mu Fugui, a dog with eyes and beads, said: "He hasn't met Ye Long'er, this is a misunderstanding." ”

Zhao Chengqian's eyes showed a fierce light, and he dared to be my woman, so he grabbed the handle and said, "Bring him to me." ”

Two hours later.

Mu Fugui, Ye Long'er came to Zhenghua Palace.

Mu Fugui was like a hairless bear, a big fat man of three hundred pounds, his brain was bright, he knew that he was in trouble, he came to the main hall and knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are wrong, the grass people don't know that they are the queen." ”

Ye Long'er's clothes were torn, and Chunhua's clothes were also torn.

It turned out that Zhao Chengqian saw that Ye Long'er was bored in the palace, and today asked Chunhua to accompany Ye Long'er to walk outside the palace.

Both of them happily agreed, and they didn't bring any guards, and after playing on the street for a long time, they came to the drunkard building to eat.

Zhao Chengqian's guards were only protecting in secret, and Ye Long'er didn't like to be followed, as if he was being watched.

I didn't know that when I arrived at the drunkard building, I happened to meet Mu Fugui.

Mu Fugui is so evil in the capital, he has ruined countless women, no one dares to sue, even if he sues the government, no one dares to arrest him.

That is the emperor's uncle and the queen mother's cousin, so he is getting bolder and bolder, as long as he sees a beautiful woman, he never lets it go, and he doesn't know how many concubines there are in the family.

There is something in the capital that Mu Fugui mixed up with how much money he had, he didn't know, how many women he had, he didn't know.

It shows what kind of thing he is, he is oppressive, and today I saw two handsome boys and brothers, and my heart was itching.

Want to try what it's like to be a pretty man, picking his teeth, one foot on a stool, and a bunch of fox friends are yelling.

Look at the two of them, and smile evilly.
