Chapter 45 Hui Ming XXVIII
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang. ”
Wang Dan heard an old voice beside him calling to him, and he slowly opened his eyes, and saw an old man with white hair sitting next to him, and he was lying on the bed.
The old man nodded, "Lord Wang, you're fine, you only need to recuperate for a few days to get back to health." ”
"He's a doctor?"
Wang Dan thought in his heart, but when he looked at the old man's clothes again, he was relieved, this old man was also wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and he thought that he was some kind of imperial doctor or something.
The old man smiled kindly at Wang Dan, then got up and walked away, and Wang Dan saw Chongzhen's family appear in front of him at the table in the room.
Wang Dan hurriedly wanted to get up, disrespecting the emperor was looking for death, not to mention that he was so weak now.
But he couldn't get up after holding on for a long time, so Chongzhen hurriedly stopped, "Aiqing doesn't need to salute, just rest your body." ”
Wang Dan sincerely thanked him, "Emperor Xie came up to see Weichen, this is really sorry for Weichen." ”
This is Wang Dan's heart, no matter how much he despises the imperial power that has become a historical term in the era he came, but the emperor who has ruled China for thousands of years still has some weight in people's hearts, otherwise Gege Elder in the pigtail drama would not be so active.
Chongzhen got up and came over to take a closer look at Wang Dan's injury, and nodded after reading it, "Well, Aiqing is really fine, God bless me Daming,"
Wang Dan thanked Chongzhen and said, "Emperor Xie cares, and Weichen also feels that his body is fine. ”
Chongzhen turned back to Queen Zhou and shouted, "Changping, don't hurry up and return the things of General Soldier Wang." ”
I saw a petite palace girl squirming and squirming from Queen Zhou's side, her mouth was so pouting that she could hang two taels of oil, although she tried her best to make a grimace and be funny, but it was just to add a cute and cute aura to her originally beautiful face.
Before she could reach the bed, she threw the nameplate on Wang Dan from a distance, and said angrily, "Here you go, stingy ghost, isn't it just a small iron plate." I even fainted, I was really an uninformed countryman. After speaking, she ignored the scolding of Chongzhen and Queen Zhou, walked to the door by herself, and gave Wang Dan a contemptuous look before going out.
Chongzhen and Empress Zhou were embarrassed, as royal princesses, they were so rude, they both had an urge to send Changping back to the Zongren Mansion to learn etiquette.
Or Empress Zhou can be a person, she cares about Wang Dandao, "Is there anything uncomfortable about the body of the chief soldier, don't think too much about state affairs now, and the most important thing is to take care of your body." ”
Chongzhen also nodded and said, "Wang Aiqing has made a great contribution to saving the driver this time, and he was injured for me, and he is really the pillar of the country." Wait for Aiqing to take care of her body, and I will reward you well in front of the civil and military officials. ”
Wang said hurriedly, "My injuries are healed, and I don't dare to ask for any more rewards, so your Majesty, let Weichen go to the battlefield." ”
Wang Dan, who was full of sincerity, seemed to be eager to fight Zhang Xianzhong for Chongzhen, but in fact, he was afraid that staying in this palace for one more minute would be more dangerous, or it would be better to stay away from the palace compound.
Chongzhen looked at Wang Dan with satisfaction, nodded and sighed, "My Ming Dynasty has been a difficult state affair until now, all the civil and military officials are selfish, and they have no heart to serve the country, and it is extremely difficult to let them kill the enemy on the battlefield for the country." Fortunately, I still have Wang Aiqing, who is willing to serve the country loyally. I, Daming, and the people of the world are counting on Aiqing to come out and be the Poseidon Needle. ”
Empress Zhou also said in a timely manner, "Mr. Wang wants to share more state affairs for the emperor, and the mourning family asked the imperial chef to make a special banquet for you today, which is also a little bit of the mourning family." ”
Wang Dan was stunned and didn't know what to say, he just wanted to leave the palace as much as possible. But Chongzhen has high expectations for himself.
Thinking that in a short time, Brother Zicheng will be in the capital, and the couple and those concubines and princesses in front of him will go to the trouble together, and he is so uneasy in his heart.
Wang Dan felt that it was necessary to tell Chongzhen to be careful of Li Zicheng's attack, but his own history was really not good. How did Li Zicheng, who was now being chased up and down by Sun Chuanting, turn defeat into victory and hit Beijing City, he had no way to say, did he want to tell Chongzhen that Li Zicheng would defeat the dominant Ming army and then attack the capital. That will cause Chongzhen's suspicion again, and cause more turmoil for no reason, which is very bad for himself.
Seeing Wang Gu's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Chongzhen thought that Wang Aiqing, who was dressed in strange clothes, was so moved that he couldn't speak, he proudly reached out and patted Wang Dan's shoulder, and said emotionally, "Aiqing's loyalty I know, let's eat first." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered the palace maid to serve the food, and soon the large round table in this room was filled with a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Chongzhen and Queen Zhou were the first to sit at the table, and under Chongzhen's enthusiastic and firm request, Wang Dan could only sit next to Chongzhen.
Also eating at the same table were the four-year-old Princess Zhaoren, the sixteen-year-old emperor's eldest son Zhu Cihong, the fourteen-year-old Dingwang Zhu Cican, and the ten-year-old Yongwang Zhu Cihuan.
Different from the banquet imagined by Wang Dan, the Chongzhen family was very quiet during the meal, they ate silently, and all kinds of movements were extremely elegant, showing the royal solemnity everywhere, but Wang Dan was in it but did not know the taste, and it was too challenging to eat the emperor's family banquet.
Fortunately, Princess Zhaoren, who is only four years old, and Zhu Cihuan, the king of Yong, are very lively. They kept asking for this and that, and let the palace maids put the best parts of various dishes into their bowls with long chopsticks, watching them eat as if they were fighting, and Wang Dan couldn't help but suspect that the two babies had not eaten well.
Chongzhen looked at the two young children embarrassed to eat greasy and greasy, and did not maintain the proper manners of royal children in front of the courtiers, which made his face sink quickly, even the youngest children could not be without manners.
Chongzhen was about to scold the two children, but it was Queen Zhou who stopped the two children and asked them to eat slowly, which prevented Chongzhen from having a seizure on the spot.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is here, I will take the two children back and teach them etiquette. ”
The queen glared at Chongzhen in disgust, which made the latter's face soothe.
Chongzhen looked at the two young children fixedly, and the two children bowed their heads in cringe, but the two children were still struggling with the food in the bowl, and they were silent for a long time before Chongzhen let out a long sigh.
"Can Wang Aiqing be so greedy for food on the table in wonder that my children are so greedy. ”
Chongzhen looked at Wang Dan in a bitter tone, and the helplessness and sentimentality in his eyes made everyone at the table feel empathetic. (Wang Dan follows the masses and never takes the stupid route)
Without waiting for Wang Dan to speak, Chongzhen continued, "Today's banquet used to only be made by the imperial chef during the New Year's Festival, and my Huan'er and Zhaoren have not eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time. ”
"The Emperor"
Chongzhen stopped Wang Dan's words and continued, "I think I have been reducing the amount of money in the palace in the past ten years, but the treasury is still in deficit every year, and money is being spent everywhere, sometimes I really want to learn from the emperor's brother to hide in the deep palace and ignore the government, it is better than hearing every day that a few cities have been lost here, the Tartars over there have invaded the border passes, and the Guanning border army has been making trouble every now and then, it is difficult for me!"
Everyone in the room hung their heads sadly, and some of the palace maids were still crying and choking quietly. Wang Dan felt very uncomfortable, what did the last emperor Chongzhen say in front of me, I was just a little person who inexplicably broke into the Ming Dynasty, I came to witness the changes in history, and of course I had to try my best to save lives, so that Yangzhou Ten Days and Jiading Santu would not kill so many people.
Just as Wang Dan was thinking about how to make the people of those two cities believe that there would be a massacre and avoid it in time when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Chongzhen suddenly said something that made Wang Dan's eyes widen in shock.
"The Ming Dynasty can only remain immortal in my hands, if it is handed over to the crown prince to govern, there may be a time for Zhongxing, I only hope that Wang Aiqing can faithfully assist my emperor and make contributions to the re-establishment of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Wang Dan opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time, Chongzhen This means that he put the hope of Daming on himself, I am in the customs to play soy sauce, and if I get enough benefits, I will go back to Zhaojiabao to be the owner of a happy manor, and besides, Daming will soon die, at this time, you asked me to be Daming's watchdog, isn't it harmful to me!
Before Wang Dan could speak, Chongzhen's crown prince Zhu Cihong stood up first and said loudly, "My father is in the prime of life, why did he have the heart of retreat, this world still needs you to govern." ”
Yongwang Zhu Cican also stammered and said, "Father, don't care about us, those traitors want to kill." ”
Chongzhen smiled bitterly, "I'm really tired, you can eat." After saying that, he got up and walked out of the room, and Queen Zhou said something to make Wang dare to eat more, and then took Princess Zhaoren to chase after Chongzhen.
At this time, Chongzhen's three princes were left in the room, they looked at each other, or the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Cihong, spoke first and said to Wang Dan, "Lord Wang is very strong in training, even his father is full of praise, Cihong hopes that there will be time to ask the Lord for training soldiers." ”
The king hurriedly replied, "At any time, the ministers will not dare to hide their secrets." At the same time, he said to the crown prince Zhu Cihong in his heart, "I hope you can afford the soldier's salary." ”
Yongwang Zhu Cican looked at Wang Dan blankly, and only said after a while, "Lord Wang, can your army beat Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, I heard that there are many of them?" After speaking, the young man who began to understand national affairs looked at Wang Dan with blank eyes.
The fate of King Fu made this little boy so scared that he had nightmares for a few days, and he and King Fu had a fight for obesity and lost 3 milligrams for this, which really worried him.
Wang Dan thought about it and replied, "Perhaps my soldiers will have suffered some harm, but they are not as numerous as theirs. ”
"That's too bad, wouldn't it be dangerous for me. The boy was starting to get scared, and it seemed that his little body was about to lose some fat again. (To be continued......)
