Chapter 192: Marrying the county lord

Mosquitoes are also meat, Ma Sande and Lang Shaozhen have no reason not to accept it, this time they entered Beijing to report the victory, although they failed to rehabilitate Mao Wenlong, but at least they got the technical talents that the Leiden Army urgently needed, and it was worth the trip.

Chongzhen obviously had not yet recovered from the ecstasy, and after instructing the Jinyi Guard to build more than 4,000 heads outside the Desheng Gate into a Jingguan, he went to Kunning Palace, where he wanted to share his joy with his women.

Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhou was inspecting the schoolwork of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Cijiong, who was only seven years old, was playing with the ten-year-old princess Zhu Yujiao of Kunxing, and the family was also happy.

Prince Zhu Cihong was born in the second year of Chongzhen, and he was eleven years old.

Last year, the crown ceremony was carried out, and Chongzhen ordered Jiang Fengyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yao Minggong of Zhan Shi, Wang Duo of Shao Zhan Shi, and Qu Keshen to be the officials of the fourth class; Fang Fengnian, Shi Yude, Xiang Yu, Liu Lishun, Wu Weiye, Yang Tinglin, and Lin Zengzhi are the lecturers.

Although Zhu Cihong has been studying for less than a year, he is the prince after all, and Chongzhen arranged for a well-educated person who is familiar with the scriptures and history, and his handwriting is also dignified and decent.

Empress Zhou turned a few pages and said with a smile: "Cihong has recited the Taoist Analects with all her heart, and the queen mother will ask you, the Tao is governed by government, and all are punished, and the people are free and shameless." The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and what is the explanation? ”

"The queen mother, the meaning of the sage, that is, the politician should serve people with virtue, that is, the sage said, the way of education, Mr. Jiang has a saying, Qin governs the country by law, and its people do not know etiquette and shame, so they die in two generations, Han respects Confucianism, promotes filial piety and honesty into the office, and the country is long, if you want the country to be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time, you must make the people know the etiquette and know the shame."

Zhu Cihong stood respectfully next to Zhou Hou, answering the queen's question, while peeking to see his younger brothers and sisters playing.

"What Wu'er said is good!"

Just between the mother and son asking and answering, Chongzhen's hearty voice came from outside the hall.

Empress Zhou and Zhu Youzhen have been married for more than ten years, Chongzhen's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, she is clear, she will hear her husband speak full of anger, knowing that there must be good news coming from the front line, and hurriedly took a few children to meet Zhu Youzhen.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty!"

"Son-in-law, see ...... father!"

Seeing that the emperor entered Kunning Palace, Empress Zhou, Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong, and Zhu Yujiao saluted one after another, of course, Zhou was only slightly blessed, but Zhu Cihong and others honestly knelt on the ground.

"Zitong doesn't have to be polite, you guys should get up too!"

Chongzhen hugged Zhu Cijiong and kissed him twice, while instructing his wife and children to be exempt.

"Your Majesty is so happy, but the Eastern Captives have already withdrawn?"

Zhou watched in surprise as Chongzhen picked up his son, this scene was only seen when Gao Yingxiang was sent to Beijing, but at that time it was Princess Kunxing who was hugging.

"Hahaha......!"

On the platform, Chongzhen wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor, and when he arrived at the harem, he was excited for a long time and was immediately released.

"The Guanning army covered up the defeat and turned it into a victory, and saw the Dongyu out of the pass, what a joy, I was happy to be a great victory in Shandong, and the queen still remembered that I was able to eliminate the public opinion and seal Li Xingzhi, who was requested by Xue Guoguan, as the general army of Leiden."

Chongzhen gently put Zhu Cijiong down and slowly walked to the throne in the palace.

"Ugh! Your Majesty is talking about Li Xingzhi, who was born as a bandit? ”

Xue Guoguan Gaoyang's victory, she knows, although women are not allowed to interfere in politics, but the victory on that day is a rare event in the Chongzhen Dynasty, so she also knows a lot about the Gaoyang War.

"Yes, does the queen know how many Dongyu Li Xingzhi defeated with 3,000 soldiers in Shandong this time?"

Chongzhen's tone was mysterious, and his face was full of excitement.

"How does this make the concubine guess?"

Empress Zhou said angrily, she knew from the emperor's expression that it must be a great victory, and she also deliberately acted petty.

"Master, Mr. Li is in Laizhou this time, and he has defeated 40,000 Tartars, and the Tartar heads of Deshengmen have become a small mountain, and the banner master of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty was also captured alive by Mr. Li, and the old slave is really looking at it on the platform!"

Wang Chengen told the good news very doggedly.

"Ah......h

Queen Zhou was shocked by this news, Zhu Cihong was also shocked, and Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Yujiao looked at Wang Chengen blankly.

"You old guy just has a quick mouth!" Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen angrily, and then smiled and said: "The queen knows that Li Xingzhi has 3,000 troops in his hands, not only more than 4,000 Tartar captives, but also more than 4,000 prisoners. ”

"Father, the son also heard in Chunfang, this time the eastern captives entered the Kou, and the imperial court to aid the army suffered heavy losses, almost invincible, this Leiden general army relied on this little man, how did he defeat the Tartars?"

After all, Zhu Cihong performed the crown ceremony, and he still knows something about the affairs of the imperial court.

According to Li Xingzhi's report, the Leyden soldiers used the big rivers as pools and the mountains as cities, and took advantage of the favorable terrain to constantly consume the grain of the Tartars, and the other army had no food, so it naturally collapsed."

Although he is in the deep palace, after so many years of fighting, Zhu Youzhen still has theoretical knowledge.

"The concubine congratulates His Majesty and congratulates Daming!"

"The son congratulates his father and the emperor, and congratulates Daming!"

Empress Zhou and Zhu Cihong were saluting again, their faces also filled with excited expressions.

"Your Majesty, the old slave still has one more thing, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

There are many officials on the Shicai platform, and he never dared to say anything about the conflict between the Jingbei Army and the Beijing camp, but now in Kunning Palace, Wang Chengen still couldn't hold back after all.

"What?"

"Your Majesty, when the old slave went to announce the decree, Xiangcheng Bo and Peng Laibo's envoy seemed to have a conflict, when the old slave arrived, the soldiers of the Beijing camp were injured by the Leiden soldiers, there were three hundred people, and the five or six hundred soldiers of the Beijing camp did not dare to advance, and our Beijing camp was loosely armed, which can be seen in general!"

"Well, I know, it's time to rectify the Beijing camp, let Li Guozhen learn from Peng Laibo and Huang Zongbing, and the soldiers must share weal and woe, and the money, food and materials that should be distributed must be distributed on time, otherwise who is willing to work hard, Peng Laibo's subordinates are still hiding, and they refuse to tell me about the method of military training, you choose two henchmen and eunuchs, this time you will follow the envoy to Leiden, one is to see how he trains soldiers, and the other is to see King De for me."

"The old slave obeys!"

Wang Chengen knew that the emperor was going to send a supervising army, after all, the army that could repeatedly defeat the Tartars must be in the hands of the imperial court.

"Emperor, the old slave heard that Peng Lai Bo was born in the first year of the Apocalypse, and this year is less than twenty, Xue Ge Lao also said that the reason why Li Xingzhi went up the mountain and fell into the grass was because his parents were killed by the Tartars, and there was no chance to enter the body, so he gathered to be a thief, since he has no marriage match, why didn't the emperor give him a main marriage?"

"You mean to choose the daughter of a clan to marry?" Chongzhen's eyes couldn't help but glance at Princess Kunxing.

Zhou obviously saw Chongzhen's gaze, and said angrily: "You are still young, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Emperor, the old slave means that Zhu Shuni, the daughter of King Fu, has passed the age of the Emperor, and her appearance is dignified, if it is married by His Majesty, if she marries Peng Laibo, Peng Laibo will naturally die for Your Majesty."

Chongzhen and Queen Zhou glanced at each other, Wang Chengen said that he was marrying instead of Shang, which means that the county lord is going to marry to Leiden, not to stay in Kaifeng, which is unprecedented since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally regarded as the emperor's grace.

"Well, big companion, you should send someone to contact Uncle Fuwang, you need to be cautious in this matter, don't leak the news, if something goes wrong, won't it tarnish my sister's name."
