The apocalypse immediately squinted at him and teased: "My brother seems to be particularly interested in the county town where Xi Shi Huansha and Yue Wang Goujian are lying on the salary. ”

Chongzhen said unabashedly: "Since I was a child, I was forced to read Sima Qian's "Historical Records" with the imperial brother, and my love has been deeply rooted. When he was a teenager, he had a legend of a wandering Taoist, and he was even more leisurely and inextricable. ”

"A good love is deeply rooted, and a good one can't extricate itself." Tianqi didn't know what he thought, and suddenly laughed and said, "Since I was a child, I have not been as good as my brother in study, not as diligent as my brother, and not as affectionate as my brother. ”

Chongzhen laughed awkwardly.

Tianqi suddenly restrained his smile again, frowned slightly, and said, "If I remember correctly, Locust Aiqing is the Fushun clan, right?" ”

"My emperor really has a good memory." Chongzhen subconsciously stroked the beard that didn't exist under his chin.

Tianqi squinted at him again and said, "If you don't take me like this, then you can tell me, where are the other two teenagers from Guanning in Liaodong in your house?" ”

Chongzhen smiled embarrassedly: "That Zhou Yuji is from Jinzhou, and Huang Xiaoyu is from Liaodong. ”

"Liaodong Ronin?"

"It's that I've been wandering since I was a child, and I can't remember where I am from in Liaodong."

"The Lonely Soul?" Apocalypse Sword frowned slightly.

Chongzhen explained, "Yes, the Lonely Soul. This is the kind of person who jokingly calls himself, which can be regarded as a kind of self-deprecation. ”

Tianqi sighed: "It's me Da Ming who is sorry for these immigrants to the Han family!" How much is such a person? ”

Chongzhen shook his head slowly, and said word by word: "Very little, very little." ”

"Why?" The apocalypse was stunned, then suddenly, and said sadly, "Plough the court and sweep the holes? ”

"Exactly."

"This vendetta! Must report! Apocalypse stared at Chongzhen tightly, gritting his teeth.

Chongzhen also looked at him and said solemnly: "This revenge! Must report! ”

Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Zhang were very pleased that this pair of people who were destined to complete the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty could discuss the affairs of the family and the country so warmly and sincerely after tea and dinner, so they almost didn't interject, just listened quietly.

The night is getting deeper, Chongzhen is still a hundred times more energetic, but the apocalypse is gone, and it is time for Empress Dowager Liu to rest.

When I returned to the Heart Cultivation Temple, it was already after dusk.

The little palace maids did not have a date with their guards here, but the cold cold moon had quietly crept up to the plum tree.

Before entering the palace, Tianqi looked back at the plum branches that were about to be released in the courtyard, and he looked a little depressed.

Chongzhen looked up at the sky slightly and said, "It's about to snow." ”

Apocalypse's tall body and mental state were all lifted, and he said, "Are you sure it's not a change of heaven?" ”

"Liaodong is related to the Ning Army and the Denglai Army outside the Imperial Jiannu, the Inner Gongjing Division, there are cadres in the northwest such as Hong Chengchou, and there are chief soldiers He Huchen ploughing the court and sweeping the caves, looking at the Great Wall, who has this qualification, dare to call the sun and the moon for the sky?"

Chongzhen's smile looks very confident under the light veil-like moon.

Apocalypse was suddenly moved, obviously understanding the true meaning of the phrase "look within the Great Wall".

Today's Ming Dynasty is not as good as it was in its heyday.

Needless to say, in addition to the Guanning defense line and the southwest of the Liaoxi Plain, there is only the recently recovered Liaodong Peninsula, which has not yet been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, as for Phi Dao...... Well, sort of.

The northwest territory of the Ming Dynasty once advanced to the Hami generation during the Chenghua period, and established the Hami Guard, but it has been shrinking since then, and it is even rumored that the army of the Ming Dynasty has already retreated into the Jiayu Pass.

As for the Hetao area, that is, the large area of fertile land that was included in the Yellow River but excluded by the Great Wall, was once again encroached upon by the Mongol tribes.

It is really a synthesis of the situation at the east and west ends of the Great Wall, so that there is a saying that "the Ming Dynasty is invincible within the Great Wall".

However, this is obviously panicked.

Tianqi was obviously not stupid, and after pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice: "What my brother means, I still have to focus on the situation in Liaodong and Northwest, and must not relax, otherwise the thieves will be powerful, and there is a possibility of shaking the foundation of my Ming Dynasty?" ”

Chongzhen bowed and said: "My emperor Shengming, the courtyard is cold, please invite my emperor to enter the palace to cultivate." ”

Empress Zhang also nudged him and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, your body is important, let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything." ”

"After the New Year, my brother will replace me and go out to supervise the teacher." Tianqi glanced at Chongzhen deeply, and when he saw Chongzhen bowing down and agreeing, he stepped into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The warmth in the hall was like spring, melting the cold that gradually entered the bone marrow, and also warming his frosty imperial heart: "I said that it was the northwest, but where will he choose to go in the end?" Is it the northwest or the east of Liaodong? ”

Chongzhen was very pleased that Apocalypse could stand for so long in such a cold night, which showed that his body was really much better, and the vitality stored inside was enough to resist the cold for a while.

Even if this cold comes from the terrible Xiaoice period.

During this period of time, how could Chongzhen step on a minefield like Liaodong, where even Yuan Chonghuan was bombarded with scorching outside and tender inside, and Wu Sangui and his ilk didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they were still happy to dance in the minefield.

The unsightly eating and dancing posture of the Wu family's generals, even the ancestral generals of Zu Dashou are ashamed of themselves.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and Chongzhen added a layer of straw to the roof and walls of the thatched house, and also covered the bedding that Zhou Yuhuang personally renovated and brought when he visited the Empress Dowager when he entered the palace.

Zhou Yuhuang couldn't bear the misery of the two dogs camping in the open air, so he ordered Huang Xiao to get tired of it and move the kennel into the eldest brother's cottage.

Ergou has been urinated by the bitter cold of Liaodong since he was a child, and he has exercised a copper head and iron bones, but it is still acceptable to the hostess who holds the little master.

It screamed twice, which was impatient with Huang Xiaoyi.

Xiaoxin Wang likes Ergou very much, even if his hands and feet are thickly wrapped, and he wears a small velvet hat on the top of his slightly hairy head, his first reaction to seeing Ergou is still dancing, and it lasted until he was hugged by Queen Zhang.

King Xiaoxin seems to be very face-saving to Tianxin, maybe Zhou Yuhuang is well educated, or maybe Tianqi does have the power of an invisible emperor, in short, when it was handed over to him by Queen Zhang's hand, all the lively, cute and naughty mischievous things of King Xiaoxin disappeared, and he looked at this uncle in a daze, not smiling, let alone saying a word.

"Uncle! Uncle! "Apocalypse has never been a father, but it does not hinder the joy of the first dearest nephew, and teases him vigorously, without showing any impatience.

After a long time, King Xiaoxin finally smiled and pulled the short beard under the jaw of the Apocalypse.

The apocalypse laughed, and the Empress Dowager Liu also symbolically carried a cane, and under the slight support of the little palace maid, she walked straight against the wind and snow, and the small courtyard that had been cold for more than 200 years finally became lively on this day.

A large family in the semi-enclosed pavilion where the charcoal fire is flourishing, surrounding Xiaoxin Wang, getting along harmoniously and enjoying themselves.

The first and last heavy snow of the seventh year of the Apocalypse finally fell on Chinese New Year's Eve.

At first, it was a small snowflake, but it soon turned into a goose feather snow, and the north wind blew and flew wildly.

This situation and this scene are just like "suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms".

The plum blossoms in the courtyard are also in full bloom. The gazebo is enthusiastic, cooking wine and appreciating plums, and life is happy.

Children are always full of beautiful expectations for the Chinese New Year primary school, because it is more of a New Year's atmosphere.

The adults frowned, worried about the unusual snow.

The Confucian scholars began to recite poems as usual, and for the Ming Dynasty, this was a special year, so many Confucian scholars did not even return to their hometowns, and stayed in Beijing with their officials who worked overtime.

In the face of the heavy snow, no one can recite the majestic momentum of "the scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow".

There is no longer anyone who can chant the "husband only does not fight" of "beauty does not compete for spring, only reports the spring".

These masterpieces are all talked about by people together with the phrase "if life is only as first seen".

The Confucian scholars tasted wine and plum blossoms as usual, and commented on everything under this great tomorrow.

The palace was just busy celebrating the New Year, and even Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch who had been busy for a year, pulled Li Yongzhen, Liu Ruoyu and others back from their homes and was busy greeting the nobles in the palaces.

The most important ones are, of course, Tianqi, Empress Dowager Liu, and Concubine Li Kang.

In Chongzhen's opinion, he seemed to have an urge to press the treasure on this favorite concubine of the Light Sect.

Because Tianqi actually listened to the words of this adoptive mother, the position of the imperial concubine was under the instruction of Concubine Li Kang, and the young Tianqi kicked his feet and asked Guangzong for it.

Concubine Li Kang's self-proclaimed hidden frequent movements, the apocalypse and the truth are actually clear.

But today is the Chinese New Year, just like adults always tolerate children's mistakes.

The plums who have prepared for the twenty-four solar terms have finally opened up angrily in people's countless expectations, yellow, white, pink, plum red, and a kind of purple and red spring weather pie.

The life that looks up to the sky and blooms is also very kind of confrontation with the sky and against the cold current.

Chongzhen suddenly understood, what the apocalypse was looking forward to was this instinctive momentum of life, and the advent of spring.

"Winter is coming, the plums are blooming, will spring be far away?" This is what Chongzhen said to him unintentionally, and Empress Zhang felt that it was quite philosophical, so she often quoted it to encourage Apocalypse to always have a low heart.

Apocalypse himself often recites that poem - it is already a cliff full of ice, and it is still full of flowers. Pretty doesn't compete for spring, only reports spring. When the mountain ring is full, she laughs in the bushes.

On this day, I felt the energetic breath of life of Xiaoxin King and the plum blossoms that bloomed angrily in the yard, and the apocalypse issued countless times that "I don't fight for spring, but only report spring".
