Hong Chengchou's bones were scattered.

He didn't remember how he got back, only how comfortable it was to lie in bed.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but I know that someone woke him up, and it's already three poles a day.

Looking at the sun like a flatbread outside the window, Hong Chengchou still didn't want to get up.

A subordinate took a fan and fanned beside him.

"Master, the sun is all on your butt, and you haven't gotten up yet."

The person who came was the steward.

has followed Hong Chengchou for many years, and witticisms can be said.

"What's the hurry, sir, I'm uncomfortable, sleep for a while."

Hong Chengchou turned over, ready to continue sleeping.

The housekeeper couldn't cry or laugh: "Master, if you are at home, you can sleep all day, but this is King Zhou's Mansion." The people from the palace have come twice, and they ask if you are up. ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he didn't feel sleepy.

With the support of his subordinates, he got out of bed with difficulty.

"King Zhou's spirit is so good? It's good to be young! ”

Hong Chengchou complained while dressing under the service of the servants.

"It's not just you, General Zuo and General Ma have sent people, maybe it's a trip?"

The housekeeper guessed.

If it's a simple meeting, you don't need to call Zuo Guangxian and Ma Ke.

Hong Chengchou agreed: "Very likely." ”

He hurriedly washed up, walked out of the bedroom, and came to the living room.

Zuo Guangxian and Ma Ke also arrived.

Like Hong Chengchou, they were in pain all over their bodies, and they were also called to get up.

Meals are already ready in the living room.

The three of them sat down and ate together.

At this time, I can't control my superiors and subordinates, so it's important to go to the palace as soon as possible.

"It's weird."

Zuo Guangxian said: "It stands to reason that King Zhou has just pacified the Tartars, and he should devote himself to national politics, and he actually messed with that monster." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. It's really strange, this was the territory of the Tartars before, and he was not afraid of being assassinated by the Tartars. ”

Marco also didn't understand it very much.

"Guanzi" said that Cang Liao knows etiquette, knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, and has six relatives and solid service."

Hong Chengchou said: "Yang Chengcheng should formulate laws so that all officials will abide by their own order. In the army, the rewards and punishments are clear, so that the army can win all battles.

In the people, rewarding loyal and righteous people with titles, educating the people with knowledge, and lightly paying for the meager endowment, of course, do not need to concentrate on national affairs. ”

When he said this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh.

He thought of the current Emperor Chongzhen.

In terms of "diligence", Chongzhen far surpassed his father and brother, and even his grandfather, Emperor Wanli.

However, Chongzhen never left the Forbidden City.

Many things can only be done by eunuchs and ministers.

The eunuchs were full of private pockets, and the ministers formed parties for personal gain.

Chongzhen hated the ministers to form a party, so Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru did not form a party and bewitched the sacred heart.

Chongzhen hated corruption, the minister wore tattered clothes to the court, and Wen Tiren was even poorer.

So, the more diligent Chongzhen is, the worse things will be.

After breakfast, Hong Chengchou, Zuo Guangxian, and Ma Ke left the courtyard and went to the Zhou Palace.

Yang Chengying waited for them for a long time.

Seeing them, Yang Chengying smiled and said, "The superintendent and the two of them definitely haven't rested well, but I have something urgent to tell the two." ”

"What's going on?" Hong Chengchou sat down.

Waiting for Hong Chengchou to sit down, Yang Chengying handed him a copy of the newspaper on the table: "There is an urgent report from the imperial court here, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong started an incident and captured Zhushan County and other places. ”

Hong Chengchou was shocked, hurriedly took the newspaper and glanced at it, and said angrily: "At the beginning, I wanted Lin Mingqiu to execute the thief on the spot and co-opt his people, but he didn't listen to me. ”

"It's nothing, Inspector, please look at the back." Yang Chengying said.

Hong Chengchou continued to look at it, his face turned red and white.

It turned out that behind the newspaper was a list detailing the officials who asked Zhang Xianzhong for bribes, as well as the dates and silver taels.

At the end of the list, a sentence was written: Those who don't accept my gold, Wang Bingbei has one ear.

Wang Bingbei, named Wang Ruichang, was the military officer of Huguang at that time, stationed in Xiangyang.

When Zhang Xianzhong asked to return to the imperial court, Wang Ruichang disagreed.

Unexpectedly, before leaving, Zhang Xianzhong specifically mentioned him.

"Your Majesty has a decree to let you enter Beijing as soon as possible to discuss military affairs." Yang Chengying said and took out a wooden box.

This thing is generally kept by eunuchs, and it is actually in Yang Chengying's hands.

Hong Chengchou understood everything.

The holy decree should have arrived in Shenyang a long time ago, but Yang Chengying deliberately suppressed it.

"King Zhou, if you have anything you want me to help you do, please feel free to speak."

Hong Chengchou sighed and added: "As long as it's within my ability." ”

Yang Chengying took out a proclamation.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the content above, and it turned out to be a Liaodong reclamation order.

"Inspector, please play His Majesty the Emperor on my behalf. Let's just say that the population of Liaodong is thin, and I hope that the imperial court will allow me to recruit people to Liaodong to reclaim land and expand the territory for our Ming Dynasty. ”

Yang Chengying said very sincerely.

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he coughed several times in a row.

However, he quickly changed his mind and said: "Whether this matter is successful or not, I can't say anything, I can only do my best." ”

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to Beijing with you."

Yang Chengying said and slapped his face.

A middle-aged man without a beard appeared in front of Hong Chengchou's eyes.

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming, as if he had met somewhere.

When I think about it, I don't think it's like it.

The man hugged his fists and said: "Our family is called Gao Qiqian, it turns out to be a person from the palace, I am afraid that Inspector Hong has never seen it before, and it is not unusual." ”

Listening to the sound is a little sharp, there is no doubt that it should be a eunuch.

Hong Chengchou didn't dare to show contempt in his heart, and the person who was assigned by Yang Chengying to do the errand definitely had a few brushes.

In the end, he was the Liao Governor of Daming Ji, and he only hugged his fists slightly.

Yang Chengying said: "This tall man was originally a eunuch sent by the emperor to Liaodong, and now he is the director of foreign affairs of the Foreign Affairs Department of our Political Affairs Yuan. ”

This name is a bit strange, Hong Chengchou has no intention of exploring it, but it sounds like the name of the Honglu Temple of the Imperial Court.

"He will follow you into Beijing and complete the matter of the reclamation order." Yang Cheng responded, "It's just that in front of the saint, it still needs the help of the superintendent." ”

"Well said, well said." Hong Chengchou said, "I will play on behalf of the emperor in front of him." ”

"There's Inspector Lao Hong."

After Yang Chengying finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Gao Qiqian: "Gao Langzhong, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Please rest assured, the king will definitely live up to his mission."

High diving is full of confidence.

Seeing that Yang Chengying had already made arrangements, Hong Chengchou got up and said goodbye.

Yang Chengying got up: "Supervisor, this matter is entrusted to you." ”

Hong Chengchou once again said that he would work hard to get it done.

Everyone left the palace, and Hong Chengchou couldn't help but ask Gao Qiqian: "When did the holy decree arrive?" ”

"The day before yesterday." Gao Qiqian replied.

Hong Chengchou understood and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In order to let him do this great favor, Yang Chengying really took great pains.

Thinking of the sentence "The weight of the tripod cannot be asked", Hong Chengchou had a new understanding.

Perhaps, I should add a bet on Yang Chengying!
