Chapter 445: Where is the Great Qing Dynasty

In Cining Palace, the smell of blood has not completely dissipated, but Chen Cao couldn't bear the loneliness and rushed in, but let Li Xiang go back first after entering, after all, the woman's family is still hostile.

"Yan'er..."

Chen Cao changed his previous banter, and looked at Zhang Yan, who was on the bed without energy, and said: "It is a good sign to be able to see our son born before leaving, I don't know when I will come back, so there are some things to prepare to do first." ”

Zhang Yan's face was gentle: "Your Majesty..."

Chen Cao squeezed Zhang Yan's hand: "You have a good rest and take our son well." ”

Saying that, Chen Cao looked at Zhang Yan intently, but said in his mouth: "Li Shanggong." ”

"The slave is here."

"Passing on my will, the sixth son of the emperor named Bozhong, established as the king of Chu, hereditary replacement, and arranged everything in the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion."

Zhang Yan almost shed tears, Chen Cao grabbed her hand and said softly: "I can't accompany you anymore, go and see Zhou's again, I'm going to leave soon, after I leave, you take good care of your son and Zhou, understand." ”

"The concubine understood..."

Chen Cao walked out of the main hall and took Li Shanggong and others to Zhou Yufeng's residence in the West Side Palace, Zhang Yan gave birth to her, but she still has a knot in her heart because of the last assassination of Chen Cao.

There were a lot of grandmothers in the care, seeing Chen Cao coming, they all half-squatted and saluted, and then opened the door of the hall, Chen Cao entered it, Zhou was sitting at the desk in a daze, but he didn't notice that it was Chen Cao who came in, thinking which grandmother came in: "Sister is born?" ”

"Gave birth to a big fat boy."

Hearing that it was Chen Cao's voice, Zhou was stunned, and then turned his head to see that Chen Cao had already walked to the chair behind her and sat down, so he was silent.

Chen Cao waved his hand to let Li Shanggong and the others withdraw, but the door of the palace was not closed, Chen Cao sighed, and then said to himself: "The official documents sent back by Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang from Beijing respectively confirm that Zhou Kui attached the Tartar and captured Zhu Cizhi, who was hiding in the Chengguo Mansion. ”

Zhou's back was to Chen Cao, and he trembled when he heard the news, but he didn't continue to move, Chen Cao didn't look up, and looked at the top of the hall: "Zhu Cijiong is his own grandson, Jinyiwei's reliable news, he has been killed by the Tartars outside the Zhengyang Gate." ”

"Impossible..."

Zhou's eyes were full of tears, and he kept shaking his head: "Father is not that kind of person, no..."

Chen Cao did not refute the Zhou family, and said to himself: "The puppet Qing regime of the Tartars gave Zhou Kui the title of an official of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Chen Cao sighed and said: "None of you and Chongzhen's children are alive, they were killed clean long before the Tartars entered Beijing, and everything was done by the Tartars in order to destroy the interior of our Ming Dynasty, so they made a so-called great political return in the name of Zhu Cihong, Zhou... Yufeng, you have to be sober..."

"Kill me... Woooooo

Zhou burst into tears, Chen Cao stood up and looked at her: "I won't kill you, you and I already have a husband and wife after all, what you did to me, I can understand, you live in Cining Palace, take good care of your sister, after all, she is your former sister-in-law, but now..."

Chen Cao thought for a while: "I have asked the Ministry of Rites to re-issue the document, remove her name, and change her status to the imperial concubine." ”

Zhou Yufeng didn't have any expression, just crying faintly, Chen Cao thought about it, and then said: "This Northern Expedition must be a complete battle, and when I come back, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, Zhou looked up at the back of the leaving, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, and when Chen Cao came out of the palace gate, Li Shanggong came up: "Your Majesty, the slave maid just got a message from the housekeeper's grandmother, Zhou... Empress Zhou did not come to menstruation this month. ”

Chen Cao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked into the palace gate where he could no longer see the Zhou family, and then said: "Don't tell the queen about this matter for the time being, you take my gold medal, and after I leave, take good care of the Zhou family, in addition, if necessary, ask Zhang Guifei to let her protect the Zhou family, understand?" ”

Li Shanggong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "The slave knows that it is powerful, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Chen Cao nodded and left Cining Palace first.

......

Beijing

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor sat on the throne made by the Ming Emperors of the past dynasties, and at this moment he frowned, and there was actually an indescribable depression in his heart.

The palace is already noisy at the moment, and as the basis of the Eight Banners Banner Lord's joint discussion system, it is also a precedent for a group of princes to quarrel in the palace.

"Old Fourteen, what do you think?"

The fourteenth prince Rui Dolgon, also frowned at the moment, he did not quarrel with those banner lords at the beginning, after the accident between Daishan and Abatai, there were a large number of his own people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji had to promote new people.

As the new flag owner of Zhengbai Banner, his heart at the moment is thinking about where to fight the Ming army.

Facing Huang Taiji's inquiry, Dolgon raised his head and was silent for a while before he said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that this battle can be fought." ”

As soon as Dolgon spoke, the hall immediately fell silent, Amin belonged to the Yellow Banner, but he was not the Lord of the Banner, he should have died a long time ago, for various reasons, he is still alive and healthy today, and the most important reason is because there is no one available.

He was about to interject, but was preempted by the loud-voiced Mang Gurtai: "Dolgon, how can you fight?" Even Haoge's 600,000 people were deflated, the seventh was still dead, and the life and death of the second child were unknown. ”

There is a reason why Mang Gultai is still only Heshuo Baylor, even Abatai has been promoted to the king of the county, but he is only a Baylor until now, but the only good thing is that after Abatai's death, he became the banner owner of the Zhenglan Banner, and the identity of the banner owner Baylor allows him to shout loudly in the Qianqing Palace.

If it weren't for the fact that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had reached the point of life and death at this moment, Huang Taiji would have many ways to kill Mang Gurtai, but not now.

"The minister has carefully checked around the capital before, since the Bauhinia Pass entered the customs, until the Guangning Gate of the Beijing Division is a plain, and the remaining three directions are to Hejian Mansion, which is basically a plain area, if it is directly in Beijing City and the Ming army is fighting, in fact, our army still has to fight;"

Dolgon continued: "In fact, the minister suggested that Yue Tuo should be appointed as the general of the expedition to the south, and that the Ming army should be restrained along the way from Shandong, and our army would shrink the strength of various places and fight to the death with the Ming army in the Gyeonggi area, which was also the only chance for our Qing Dynasty. ”

"..."

"Mang Gurtai..."

Reprimanded by Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai quieted down at this time, and Dolgon continued to say when he saw this: "The minister analyzed it this way, my eight banners and banners are added together, and now I can make up 100,000 as the absolute main force, 100,000 Mongolian cavalry in Horqin and Bahrain, 150,000 in the Han Eight Banners, and nearly 300,000 green battalion soldiers, can set up battlefields around Gyeonggi and deal with the Ming army, in addition, the last transaction between our dynasty and the foreign fan was a year ago, it is estimated that there are 500 Hongyi cannons, and about 1,000 artillery pieces of various types, if it really fights, Overall strength, I don't lose too much. ”
