"Huh?"

"Yangzhou Skinny Horse?"

Huang Jiarui and Ma Mingluo immediately blackened their faces.

You are a eunuch, what do you want to do with this?

Besides, you don't look at what time it is?

"Ahh Gao Qiqian said angrily, "You hurry up and find a few Yangzhou thin horses, long live the lord is waiting outside the city, hurry up." ”

"Hooray? Fu Wang? ”

Huang Jiarui and Ma Mingluo looked at each other.

"What a blessed king." Gao Qi said, "Our family is talking about Long Live Lord." ”

"Could it be that the saint drove to Yangzhou?" Huang Jiarui and Ma Mingluo were taken aback when they heard this.

Then the two of them were furious again, and said that you are a faint gentleman, you just fled from Beijing to Yangzhou, and you luckily picked up a life, and you don't want to hurry up and reorganize the army, so you want to find a woman first?

It's not a woman.

But anger is anger, and the holy decree must be obeyed.

At that moment, the two of them went to Yangzhou Skinny Horse with black faces.

……

Chongzhen didn't rush to find a woman, Zhu Yousong really wanted to.

Because Nanjing Palace City has been in disrepair for a long time, it has long been dilapidated, and there is no way to live in it, so Zhu Yousong has been living in Nanjing for the past few days.

I have to say that the eunuchs guarding Nanjing are really luxurious.

Not only does it cover a very wide area, but there are all kinds of pavilions and ponds and rockeries in the line.

There is even a stage in the line, and there is also a theater troupe, just because Han Zanzhou, the Nanjing garrison eunuch, likes to listen to the opera, and the godsons at the bottom will buy everything for him.

Now it's all cheap, Zhu Yousong.

There is also a Dan horn in the troupe.

But Zhu Yousong immediately felt tired of Lin Xing for a few nights, and he was vulgar and vulgar.

Early this morning, Zhu Yousong called Han Zanzhou over and asked: "Han Daban, when I was alone in Henan Qiandi, I heard that Qin Huai's famous prostitutes are both unique in sex and art, you go and find a few for you." ”

"Ahh Han Zanzhou's face was embarrassed.

It's a really difficult thing to do, and it's quite difficult to do.

"How?" Zhu Yousong asked, "It's not easy to do?" ”

Han Zanzhou said patiently: "Your Highness, the famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River have a lot of friends with the scholars and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and these scholars and gentry can even influence the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, which is not easy to mess with." ”

"Can you sway the judges?" Zhu Yousong was taken aback.

Han Zan Zhou said: "Ruan Dacheng Ruan beard, can Your Highness remember?" ”

"Lone remembers." Zhu Yousong said, "I just gave 10,000 taels of silver to Gu." ”

Han Zanzhou said: "Ruan Huzi was ruined by an article "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos and Public Disclosure" because he offended the gentlemen in Jiangnan, and since then he has become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats. ”

"Well, forget it." Zhu Yousong was immediately stunned.

Han Zanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around to leave when a small eunuch hurriedly barged in.

"Godfather, godfather is not good!" The little eunuch shouted in a panic, "Something's wrong!" ”

"Shut up!" Han Zanzhou said angrily, "Even if the sky falls, it won't hit you, what's the panic?" ”

"Godfather, something really happened." The little eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said, "Long live Lord has already arrived at Yizhen in Jiangbei." ”

"What should I do, isn't it ...... long live the lord?"

Speaking of this, Han Zanzhou paused, and then snorted: "What are you talking about?" Hooray?! ”

Hooray? Zhu Yousong, who was sitting in the chair, was also stunned on the spot, what was the situation? What's going on?

The little eunuch snorted heavily, and then said: "Long live the Lord has already arrived at Yizhen last night, and the seven officials including the right Sikou who accompanied the southern tour have already arrived at the Yanziji Wharf!"

"Poof!" Zhu Yousong slipped from his chair and fell to the ground.

Han Zanzhou was too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Yousong anymore.

Long live the Lord has already arrived at Yizhen, and you still want you to be a bird in the prison country?

"Let's go, let's go!" Han Zanzhou ran away with the little eunuch.

Seeing Han Zanzhou's figure go out, Zhu Yousong was really confused.

Who am I? Where am I? What have I been doing these days? Oh no!

As soon as Han Zanzhou ran to the gate of Xingyuan, he met Lu Jiude head-on.

Because of his meritorious service in supporting King Fu, Lu Jiude has been promoted to the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal.

"Where is Grandpa Han going?" Lu Jiude stopped Han Zanzhou and asked.

"Get out of the way, our family is going to Yizhen to greet Long Live Lord." Han Zanzhou said with a dark face.

"What long live the Lord, it's the Emperor!" Lu Jiude snorted, "It's the Emperor!" ”

"Nonsense! Where did you come from? Han Zanzhou pushed Lu Jiude away and ran out.

"Damn, the erector is not enough to conspiracy." Lu Jiude stomped his feet and ran out with him, let's go too.

The two old eunuchs hurriedly came to Yifengmen with a group of little eunuchs, but found that Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Wang Duo, Jiang Yueguang and other Nanjing officials had also arrived after hearing the news.

And they all looked very excited.

Obviously, Chongzhen didn't die and gave them a big surprise.

It is an obvious fact that Chongzhen's appeal is definitely far better than that of King Fu, and it can also twist half of the south of the Yangtze River and the southwestern provinces into a rope, and there is still hope for the Ming Dynasty.

After waiting for a while, several officials came from the riverside.

Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu and other Nanjing officials hurriedly stepped forward.

Han Zanzhou, Lu Jiude and other eunuchs could only squeeze in the crowd.

It was Meng Zhaoxiang, Wu Linzheng and other seven Beijing officials who came over.

When Beijing broke the siege, there were a total of nine civil officials, but Wang Jiayan was defeated and captured by the Dashun army, and Jin Xuan followed Chongzhen because he knew the soldiers.

Among the remaining seven people, the highest rank is Meng Zhaoxiang, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, who is the third grade.

However, there are several officials in Nanjing who are in the second grade, such as Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so they have to pay homage in reverse.

Wu Linzheng and other six people followed the big salute to pay homage.

"The lower officials see the Great Sima, the Great Situ, and the Great Zongbo."

"Excuse me, hurry up and excuse me, you have worked hard all the way."

After the two groups of officials saluted, Shi Kefa asked directly: "Where is the holy car?" ”

Meng Zhaoxiang said: "The Holy Lord has already led the 1,000 Yiding escorted and the 7,000 cavalry seconded from Jing Nanbo to Yangzhou to suppress Gao Jie. ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Suppress Gao Jie?"

Shi Kefa and others changed color.

They were surprised that Chongzhen dared to take 8,000 cavalry to suppress Gao Jie, and they were even more worried that once Gao Jie was forced to rebel, the entire Jiangnan would be turned upside down immediately.

"The Holy Lord's move is reckless!"

Shi Kefa stomped his feet and lamented, "Why don't you stop? ”

Zhang Shenyan, the imperial history of Nanjing's right capital, even pulled out Wu Ganlai, who supervised the imperial history Chen Liangyu and Hu Kedu, and reprimanded him with a head and face, and the imperial history had to advise!

Chen Liangfu and Wu Ganlai were speechless.

The heart said that you dare to teach us a lesson from the imperial history of Nanjing, the right capital of Nanjing?

When we followed the holy car from Chaoyangmen, where was your old man? Where were you when we followed the holy car to eat and sleep in the open on the Chahar grassland? You can retire with peace of mind, which one is idle.

Meng Zhaoxiang also said lightly: "Don't worry, the saint uses soldiers like a god, how can Gao Jie and others be able to compete?" If nothing else, the siege of Yangzhou has been lifted at this time. ”

"What did you say? The Holy One uses soldiers like a god? ”

Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan and others looked at each other.

When will the Holy Lord also use soldiers? I haven't heard of it.

Meng Zhaoxiang smiled again and said: "Holy Commander, this matter is indeed a bit unexpected, but it is not too late to say it in the future, there are more important things to do now." ”

With a straight face, Meng Zhaoxiang said loudly: "There is an edict!" ”

Shi Kefa and other Nanjing officials hurriedly made a move: "The ministers respectfully invite the Holy Jin'an." ”

"St. Bow." Meng Zhaoxiang waved towards Jiangbei, and then said, "Staying in the capital is an official: immediately post a notice on the people in the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, and say that the Holy Driver will patrol the south, and the household department will immediately raise 5 million taels of silver and send it to Yangzhou, there must be no mistake." ”

"Minister's order." Shi Kefa and other officials bowed their heads again, and Gao Hongtu, the head of the household department, had a bitter face, 5 million taels? They only raised 3.6 million taels.

[There are records in the history books of these 3.6 million taels, not apocryphal]

Meng Zhaoxiang specially said to Gao Hongtu: "Da Situ, the Holy Lord specially advises that 5 million taels of silver should not be delayed, because Jiannu is about to go south, and I must build the Huanghuai defense line before Jiannu goes south, and to build a complete defense line on the Huanghuai line, it is absolutely impossible to do without sufficient food." ”

Shi Kefa and other Nanjing officials are even more confused, Jiannu wants to go south?

Wasn't it the thieves who captured Beijing? Why did you become a slave again?

"Right Si Kou Rongyu." Gao Hongtu said bitterly, "At the moment, only 3.6 million taels have been raised. ”

Meng Zhaoxiang groaned for a while and then decided: "Then send the 3.6 million taels to Yangzhou first." ”

Seeing this, not only Gao Hongtu, but also Shi Kefa and other Nanjing officials had inexplicable looks on their faces.

In front of our second-grade halls, how dare you, a third-grade waiter, act as the person in charge? What's more, you are still a servant of the criminal department, and the affairs of the household department are not in your charge.

But when I thought about it, I was immediately relieved.

After all, Meng Zhaoxiang and the other seven people are responsible for the edict and are the messengers.

Meng Zhaoxiang paused, and then asked, "What about King Fu?" Can King Fu be available? ”

"In the present, alone." Zhu Yousong squeezed forward from the back of the crowd, and his hat was squeezed off.

Squeezed in front of Meng Zhaoxiang, Zhu Yousong was about to kneel on the ground as soon as he was short: "Meet the angel." ”

"Don't dare." Meng Zhaoxiang hurriedly stopped Zhu Yousong, and continued, "Since King Fu is here, the lower officials don't need to enter the city this time, so King Fu will cross the river with the lower officials to Yangzhou." ”

"To Yangzhou?" Zhu Yousong was stunned and asked, "What are you going to Yangzhou for?" ”

"Naturally, it's a face saint." Meng Zhaoxiang said abruptly, "The Holy One is waiting to see you." ”

The prison country must not let Zhu Yousong supervise the country, so he still took it and handed it over to the saint.

"Oooh, oooh." Zhu Yousong woke up like a dream and nodded again and again, "Go to Yangzhou, go to Yangzhou." ”

Shi Kefa, Jiang Yueguang, Zhang Shenyan, Lu Daqi and others glanced at each other, and also said, "I'll go together." ”

Meng Zhaoxiang didn't stop him, he vaguely guessed that Shi Kefa and others also wanted to go to Yangzhou to face the saint, the state machinery of the Ming Dynasty could not be shut down forever, and the cabinet must resume operation as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, it is to strive to be a cabinet assistant.
