Until night.

With the support of a group of soldiers, Chongzhen finally inspected the city.

The morale of the soldiers defending the city soared, and when they were about to burn the fire and cook, Empress Zhang and Empress Zhou came with a group of princesses and princesses, and each prince and princess stood at a post across a section of the city wall, eagerly checking the meals of the soldiers and civilians, adding more and making up for less, and seeing that someone was dressed in tatters, there must be a palace maid who carefully sewed and repaired.

"You can rest assured that you will kill the enemy with Your Majesty on the front line, there is a palace in the city, and the imperial sister-in-law and all the princes and princesses will distribute food every day, and you will never let your parents, wives and children freeze and starve."

While the two queens were sewing clothes with needles and threads, they earnestly instructed the soldiers who came around.

Such a scene made some old scholars burst into tears: "Your Majesty and the two mothers are really benevolent and kind, if they were born in a prosperous era...... However, the heavens do not treat me preferentially, and disasters are rampant year after year, there are thieves inside, and Tartars in the outer lands...... The sky has no eyes! ”

The others were also infected and began to cry.

"Don't cry, men don't flick when they have tears, you are all good men, you follow Your Majesty to repel the thieves, and in the coming days, the monarch and the people will join hands to create another prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty."

The two queens' backgrounds are not too dazzling, they are both drafted by the people, they have always been virtuous, and if they are considerate, they have won the recognition of these soldiers and civilians.

A group of soldiers and civilians shouted together with tears: "Defend the Ming Dynasty and create another prosperous world~!" ”

In the end, the queen and her entourage made a round and came to Changyi Gate again.

Thousands of factory guards stood here, and when they saw Feng Jia coming, they knelt on the ground to greet each other.

The two queens waved their hands, said a few words softly, and then went up to the city tower to meet Chongzhen.

It's just that these factory soldiers knelt on the ground and didn't give way.

Seeing this, the female officer accompanying the car couldn't help but scold: "Bold! Are you trying to stop the two queens' phoenix scolding? ”

"This ...... The two queen mothers, the horse master Zhou Xian is arranged, but do you want to summon them? ”

The factory soldiers led by him did not dare to offend these queens and princes, gritted their teeth, and turned their heads to sell Zhou Xian.

Empress Zhang and Empress Zhou glanced at each other, both very puzzled in their hearts, and then their eyes fell on Princess Changping.

Zhu Yujiao also looked confused, but she seemed to think of something, and her little face turned red.

Horse Zhou Xian, isn't that the fiancé who has a marriage contract with him?

If it weren't for the siege of the capital, the two of them might have been married.

Queen Zhou thought for a moment and nodded: "You will announce that he will come to see him, this palace heard that he has made a great contribution today, he beat Wei Zaode to death with a stick in the Jinluan Palace, and when he raided the Chengguo Mansion, he shot Zhu Yuanchen with another arrow, and the loud cheer, as if the god of war was coming, and the frightened rebels surrendered on their knees......

"Oh? This brother-in-law is so brave? Scared the thief to surrender as soon as he drank it? Isn't there Zhang Yide's bravery? ”

The crown prince Zhu Cihong couldn't help but praise.

Princess Changping was slightly stunned, and the image of a strong man with a height of one meter eight, a stubble on his face, and a fierce appearance came to mind.

Soon, Zhou Xian hurriedly came over in a drape, bowed and saluted: "Minister Zhou Xian, I have seen two queens, princesses and princesses!" ”

In fact, this was the first time Empress Zhou had seen this son-in-law, and she and Empress Zhang both looked at Zhou Xian curiously, but they forgot to speak for a while.

The prince and princess Meng were even more wide-eyed, staring at Zhou Xian like a national treasure.

Fortunately, Zhou Xian's appearance is handsome, his facial features are correct, and he is wearing a light armor and has a mighty spirit, which is expected, after all, those who can be selected for the horse must have both ability and political integrity, and the Ming Dynasty advocates beauty, and it is basically impossible for ugly people to pass the assessment of those officials.

"Chen Zhouxian, I've seen two mothers ......"

Zhou Xianjian didn't respond, and couldn't help but chant again.

Only then did Empress Zhou come back to her senses, and her jade hand was weak: "There is no need to be polite to the horse." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Princess Changping.

Zhou Xian raised his head and followed their gaze, first stunned for a moment, and then realized that this shy girl was afraid that it was Princess Changping, his fiancée.

Princess Changping was beautiful and lovely, dignified and elegant, Zhou Xian just glanced at it, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva......

At this time, if Chongzhen is here and hears his heart, I'm afraid he will have to have a few military sticks!

"Ahem."

Empress Zhou coughed and pulled Zhou Xian's gaze back: "Your Majesty is arranging city defenses?" ”

Zhou Xian didn't hide it like those factory soldiers, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty is dealing with the national uncle and the national uncle. ”

"My father and brother?!"

"Yes, when the two mothers and princesses went out of the city to appease the people, the two princes and uncles also came, but instead of distributing food and wages, they teamed up with Li Guozhen and others to exchange the grain for Chen Gu and the soldiers and civilians to eat.

His Majesty was furious when he found out, and immediately beheaded Li Guozhen in front of all the soldiers and civilians.

As for the two fathers and uncles...... Your Majesty doesn't know what to do with the ministers, but he has already sent someone to the Zhou Mansion to raid the house......"

Zhou Xian said slowly, and said everything in 1510.

Empress Zhou's face darkened when she heard this, and she muttered in her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

Previously, Chongzhen called on the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to donate money and grain, and Zhou Kui, as the national abbot, should have taken the lead in donating, but he did not pull out a dime and refused to donate half of his son.

After Queen Zhou found out, she personally came to the door as a lobbyist, and sold the gold and silver jewelry in the palace to get 5,000 taels, and asked Zhou Kui to add half of it himself, making up enough 10,000 taels to make a face.

But after Zhou Kui took Queen Zhou's silver taels, not only did he not add silver himself, but he also greedy two thousand taels of it, and donated the remaining three thousand, so that the ministers followed suit, and the donation of silver by hundreds of officials became a joke, and a total of more than 200,000 taels were donated.

It's just that he hasn't made trouble, but today, when His Majesty was in command of the patrol, he actually did such a thing......

Empress Zhou sighed: "In this case, the concubine will tell Your Majesty that the palace has come." ”

With that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

There is no intention of asking for affection at all.

Empress Zhang and the princesses hurriedly chased after them to comfort them.

Zhou Xian saw the group leaving, so he went up to the city floor to see Chongzhen.

It's just that what Zhou Xian didn't expect was that when he went up to the city tower, Chongzhen had already slaughtered Zhou Kui's father and son, and hung their corpses on the flagpole at the head of the city and exploded the corpses to show the public.

[, this is my father-in-law and brother-in-law, I will cut it when I say it, how will I face Queen Zhou in the future? ] 】

Zhou Xian looked at the two corpses and was surprised in his heart.

What he didn't know was that the reason why Chongzhen was so decisive was because of him.

According to historical records, after the army broke through Yanjing City, the crown prince Zhu Cihong was captured in the chaos and properly settled. Later, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Li Zicheng retreated, and Zhu Cihong turned to take refuge in this grandfather, but he never thought that he was finally sold to the Manchu Qing by his grandfather.

Chongzhen heard Zhou Xian's heart, and after knowing about this, he was eager to kill, how could he easily let go of Zhou's father and son? !
