“It’s not about understanding, it’s about doing it!”
Chongzhen immediately waved his hand and said with a serious face, "Your main purpose now is to protect Mr. Hu! Remember this!"
"yes!"
Zhu Si glanced at the emperor. He didn't know why the majestic Emperor Ming even wanted to please Hu Yunqing in front of him. This was really puzzling.
"Okay, from now on you guys try not to reveal your identity, and arrange for one person to go back to the palace every day to report Mr. Hu's whereabouts. By the way, one more thing, each of you will be promoted to another level, and your salary will be doubled!"
Chongzhen waved his hand, turned around and headed towards the entrance of the village.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, several people couldn't help but smile.
I didn't expect such a beautiful thing.
"Little boy, young boy!"
At this moment, I suddenly saw Lao Hantou and several people surrounding him.
"..."
Chongzhen's face turned red when he heard this. To be honest, he hadn't realized what it meant.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu's cousin is Li Nian."
Wang Chengen quickly lowered his voice and reminded him.
At the same time, I was also a little scared. These guys were yelling at the emperor, fearing that they would die.
And he was also afraid that the emperor would be angry.
"Village chief, what's wrong?"
Unexpectedly, the emperor, who was suspicious by nature, was smiling and didn't seem to take it to heart.
"Little boy, let me tell you."
Old Hantou smoked a cigarette and reminded, "Since the last incident, the girl from the Wu family seems to have fallen in love with Yun Qing. I wonder if I should come to Yun Qing to propose marriage? After all, he You’re too old to be alone, so you can’t be alone!”
"Yes, he is alone now and has no relatives. As a cousin, why don't you call your parents?"
"My enemy, Yun Qing is very kind to the people in the village. We should handle this small matter for him!"
The villagers were chattering and talking to each other.
"Is it that Wu Xiulian?"
Chongzhen frowned, and then thought of Hong Shijie's case a few days ago. The woman was indeed named Wu Xiulian.
But according to his opinion, although the woman was somewhat beautiful, in the final analysis she was not worthy of his cousin.
"Master, it's Wu Xiulian."
Wang Chengen also nodded quickly and replied, "Just outside Beijing."
"I will go back and discuss this matter with my family. I will also tell my cousin then to see what he means."
Chongzhen was not satisfied in his heart. If he really had to choose a good wife, he felt that it would be better to choose a lady or a close relative of the country.
"Then you can discuss it then."
Old Han nodded, and then he chuckled and said, "I'm just talking about Yun Qing. Xiaonian, I remember you are two years older than him, right? Are you married now? Do you want us to find one for you too?" …”
"I already have a family."
Chongzhen's face suddenly darkened, one mouthful was enough for a small year.
"That's a shame."
Old Hantou seemed to feel quite regretful and said, "My granddaughter is now..."
"Farewell."
Chongzhen was afraid that the old guy would continue talking, so he quickly raised his hands and left.
"Master, wait for me!"
When Wang Chengen saw this, he immediately followed him, fearing that the hospitable villagers would find one for him too.
"Don't forget to tell your family!"
Old Hantou saw that the master and the servant were running faster than the other, so he hurriedly reminded them.
Jinzhou.
Since the last battle of Songjin, the status of Yuan Chonghuan and his generals has risen sharply. Whether they asked for money or food, Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate at all.
And the Ming army's dissatisfaction with pay naturally became a thing of the past.
Yuan Chonghuan also came directly to the Jinzhou front line and led his Guan Ning Army to hold on here.
"Commander."
Wu Sangui and Yuan Chonghuan were inspecting the city defenses at this time. "There is a letter here, which was sent from the inner court. It is said that it will be handed over to the marshal for personal inspection."
"These guys are reaching out longer and longer."
When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he looked disdainful, even though Wei Zhongxian personally sold grain and grass last time and helped him win the Songjin victory.
But he thought Wei Zhongxian was suspected of opportunism, and in the end he looked down on them.
On the surface, being friendly with them is just to get along well in the officialdom.
"Just open it and tell me the contents."
He waved his hand, not caring.
"Wang Cheng'en bows to Commander-in-Chief Yuan Chonghuan, and it's like seeing him in person."
Wu Sangui opened the envelope and was secretly surprised. The eunuch's handwriting was good, "I got the news that Huang Taiji, the leader of the Jian slave bandits, will definitely attack the city again soon! I also hope that the commander will not panic. If they use red cannons to attack the city, The handsome man personally leads the troops out of the city to fight with him! He will surely win every battle! It is the third day of the second lunar month in the third year of Chongzhen."
"That's ridiculous."
Yuan Chonghuan held the city wall with both hands and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "These talented people, do you really think that the last war was related to them? If our Guan Ning Army hadn't fought bravely to kill the enemy, Huang Taiji would have been easily defeated? Let us sacrifice our flesh and blood Do you really think we are invulnerable against the red cannon?"
"That's true."
Wu Sangui also thought it was pure nonsense and said, "In the final analysis, they are just a group of minions around the emperor. Even if they know a few words, how can they know the dangers of the battlefield? The military situation is changing rapidly?"
"That's really weird."
Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but cross his arms, a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face, "I don't know why the emperor wants these eunuchs to serve as supervisors. To be honest, they can't help at all except causing trouble."
"I think so too."
When Wu Sangui heard this, he nodded and replied, "Now that Huang Taiji has suffered two major defeats and has no available troops at all, he still says he will attack the city? It's simply ridiculous."
"But this time Lu Xiangsheng fought well. He severely dampened Huang Taiji's spirit!"
Yuan Chonghuan said with some envy, "It would be great if we were given another big victory."
Although he is already a highly respected minister, he still does not have a knighthood. Logically speaking, with his current military exploits, he could have been knighted long ago.
However, from beginning to end, the emperor still had doubts about him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"But I did hear about it."
Wu Sangui touched his beard. Most of his family members were in Kyoto, so they also heard some gossip, "It is said that the reason why Lu Xiangsheng and Mangui were able to win was because Wang Chengen was guiding them behind the scenes."
"How can he be so knowledgeable? Are you kidding me?"
Yuan Chonghuan was not confident, and couldn't help but said, "If he really has this ability, and I ask him to be my supervisor, then I will admit it. I don't think this may be the case? Could it be that Lu Xiangsheng deliberately wanted to please him? ?”
