In the palace, Chongzhen was holding the little prince, and the baby had to look like something.

Queen Zhou sat on the bed, leaning on the soft pillow, looking at the father and son with a happy face.

She couldn't help but sigh that His Majesty might only be able to enjoy pure family happiness at this moment.

Chongzhen saw the little prince open his mouth wide, yawned, and seemed to be about to fall asleep.

He hurriedly handed the emperor to the nurse to hold, for fear of disturbing the emperor's sleep.

Seeing the nurse leave, Chongzhen sat on the stool next to Queen Zhou's bed, and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai, you gave birth to a good son for me, and I want to make him the prince!" ”

"The child is still young, is it too early to be crowned the prince?"

Queen Zhou was happy in her heart, but she wanted to refuse.

Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Liyan is a rule handed down by the ancestors, so don't shirk the concubine." ”

"Then, the concubine will thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of the emperor."

It was inconvenient for Empress Zhou to get up, so she could only bend down slightly.

Chongzhen hurriedly straightened her.

At this time, Cao Huachun came in with a recital. Seeing this scene, he turned around to leave.

"Stop!" Chongzhen stopped him, "Come back." ”

"The slave went to the wrong place, a capital offense."

Cao Huachun turned around, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed.

Chongzhen and Empress Zhou were both laughed at by his funny, Chongzhen raised his hand and said, "Dog slave, get up, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me." ”

"Yes, the minion obeys."

Cao Huachun got up.

Chongzhen saw the music in his hand and asked, "Who's?" ”

"Oh, Yang Concubine's."

Cao Huachun hurriedly held the song Shu in front of Chongzhen, and said: "He congratulated His Majesty on having the dragon son, and there was also a congratulatory watch from Princess Cheng'en, and a gift list. ”

Chongzhen took the note written by Yang Chengying, glanced at it, and snorted coldly: "Two days ago, I just received a note from him praying for the opening of the mansion, and today there is another congratulatory note, which is interesting." ”

Empress Zhou saw Chongzhen's frowns, and suddenly felt strange: "Your Majesty, Yang Yuma specially congratulated you, why is Your Majesty very worried." ”

"Alas! Concubine Ai didn't know anything, and a Tartar walked outside the gate, but a tiger came. ”

Chongzhen frowned and said, "No, it should be a lion." ”

The tiger is the king of beasts, and Chongzhen feels that this metaphor is inappropriate. The lion is fierce and fierce, which is just right for Yang Chengying.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the Tartars are vicious and have rebelled against the court."

Empress Zhou was relieved: "Although Yang is like a lion, he is respected by the imperial court. ”

"Concubine Ai is right." Chongzhen sighed.

Obviously, he didn't agree with that.

There is a way on the side of the couch, and it is not allowed for others to snore.

Whether it is Tartar or Yang Chengying, as long as it threatens the imperial power, it will not work!

"Yang Chengying made it clear that he wanted the right to open the mansion. This power is available from the governor to the Qipin County Order. ”

Chongzhen was puzzled: "However, what Yang Cheng should want is the shogunate of the Han and Tang dynasties. If it is granted, it is tantamount to acknowledging the power of his self-recruited subordinates.

If it is not allowed, the Shanyong army outside the Guanwai suffered a great defeat, and it is difficult to resist Yang Chengying's army. ”

"Your Majesty, let the slave interject."

Cao Huachun said respectfully: "The slave thinks that Your Majesty might as well grant Yang Yuma's request." ”

"Huh?" Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun, "You go on." ”

"Your Majesty has granted Yang Yuma's right to open the mansion, and you can also hand over Jiliao to him."

"What? Where do you start? ”

"Your Majesty, the Jiliao Governor naturally can't give it, and the Governor is not suitable, which will cause dissatisfaction among the officials. But Ji Liao Jingluo can be given, and the Man Gui who has died in battle is not the Wujing strategy. ”

"Oh, set up a ...... of civil and military affairs"

Chongzhen reacted.

Sun Chengzong suffered a great defeat, and retirement was inevitable.

The candidate to take over his post of superintendent, Chongzhen has not yet been decided.

But no matter who takes over, it is not as good as Sun Chengzong.

The Jiliao Governor was changed back to Jiliao Jingluo, and then the civil and military personnel served as the two people. Wen Jinglu was stationed at Shanhaiguan and monitored Yang Chengying, who served as Wu Jingluo, nearby.

Jizhen, Shuntian, and Baoding are nominally under the management of Yang Chengying, but in fact there are governors in various places, and the governors have general affairs on their heads.

Giving Yang Chengying by himself is just a false name.

If you encounter the Tatars invading Gyeonggi again, you can also justifiably transfer Yang Chengying to lead the army to King Qin.

How can Yang Chengying resign as Ji Liaowu Jingluo?

It also saved a sum of military spending, which is really a one-size-fits-all effort.

Thinking about this, Chongzhen said happily: "You immediately find the cabinet and draft a will, ordering Yang Chengying, the Duke of Yanguo, to take up the title of squire of the military department, and serve as the military affairs of Jingluo Jizhen, Shuntian, Liaodong, Baoding and other places, and approve the opening of the government." ”

"Yes, the minion will do it." Cao Huachun got up and retreated.

"This minion has some ability."

Chongzhen smiled, and immediately ordered someone to call Wang Chengen.

"Your Majesty."

"Wang Chengen, you are very careful in serving me these days, and I intend to promote you."

"Slave, thank you for your grace."

Wang Chengen knelt down excitedly and kowtowed.

"You go to the celebrant to be a palm print eunuch, and work with the eunuch Cao Huachun."

"The minions obey."

"Go ahead."

"The minions are gone."

Wang Chengen bent down and bowed his head, and retreated respectfully.

Queen Zhou, who was witnessing everything on the side, thought to herself, this is probably thunder and rain and dew, all of them are Jun'en.

Cao Huachun is such a smart person, someone has to be restrained.

As Cao Huachun's former subordinate, Wang Chengen, is the most suitable.

As soon as Wang Chengen left, a little eunuch came in to report that Hong Chengchou came.

Chongzhen was overjoyed, came out of the palace of Queen Zhou, and went to the Qianqing Palace to meet Hong Chengchou.

"Minister Yansui Governor Hong Chengchou, meet His Majesty the Emperor."

Hong Chengchou, who had a dusty face, knelt down in his robe and shouted long live.

"Flat." Chongzhen raised his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hong Chengchou held an ivory wat in his hand and stood up.

"Hong Chengchou, I am in such a hurry to summon you to Beijing, firstly, because you have made great contributions to supporting Xuanda, and secondly, I want to ask you something."

"Your Majesty, please ask, the minister knows everything."

"Good. I ask you, what do you think of the rebellion in Shaanxi? ”

These words stopped Hong Chengchou.

It's not that he can't answer, but because Yang He, the governor of the three sides, is his immediate boss.

Moreover, he had not yet figured out the emperor's mind at this time.

Therefore, I did not dare to answer rashly.

"Forgive the minister, the minister is the governor of Yansui, the matter of the three sides, please ask Your Majesty Lord Yang."

Hong Chengchou replied cautiously.

"I have summoned you here to ask for your opinion. You just have to answer, there are only two monarchs and ministers here, and no outsiders are present. ”

Chongzhen widened his heart.

Only then did Hong Chengchou speak: "The minister has three questions, please ask Your Majesty to solve your doubts." ”

"You ask."

"The first question of the minister, may I ask if you have money to appease the thief and grass coward?"

"Uh...... Second question. ”

"The minister dares to ask the second question, do you have any food to appease the thieves?"

"Well...... Third question! ”

"The third question of Chen Wan's death, is there a place to settle the thieves after being appeased?"

"Hong Chengchou!"

"The minister is here!" Hong Chengchou immediately knelt down.

Chongzhen looked at him coldly.
