In the palace late at night, Murong Lie met Zhu Youxiao.
He knew that the emperor was not very literate, so he read Sun Chengzong's memorial in front of Zhu Youxiao.
At this moment, he roughly understood the content of this memorial, and he couldn't help but admire Sun Chengzong, who was a scholar.
In this memorial, Sun Chengzong described in detail the various arrangements he had made since taking charge of the defense of Liaodong, and very boldly proposed an idea, that is, not only to retreat to Shanhaiguan, but to extend the defense line beyond Shanhaiguan and build a line from Shanhaiguan to Shanhaiguan. The defense line was mainly Shanhaiguan, Guangning, and Jinzhou, and a large number of generals were activated at the same time.
The memorial also listed the whereabouts of the money allocated by the imperial court to Liaodong, and every transaction was remembered in great detail.
After all, this was a huge amount of money. It was thought that Sun Chengzong himself knew the current predicament of the Ming Dynasty. If he spent such a large sum of money at this time, if he did not explain it clearly, it would definitely arouse people's suspicion.
At the end of the memorial, Sun Chengzong briefly raised his doubts, that is, he presided over Liaodong affairs this time and carried out drastic reforms. Many personnel changes will definitely involve the interests of important ministers in the court. For this reason, he deeply Feeling panic.
After Murong Lie finished reading the memorial, he stood quietly aside, waiting for the young emperor to speak.
In fact, he was still a little worried, because the young emperor in front of him had no expression on his face when he listened to him reciting the memorial, and it seemed that he didn't understand it at all.
It's no wonder that Zhu Youxiao was a famous carpenter emperor, and his literary style was basically different. Sun Chengzong was also a Jinshi. Writing memorials was like writing an essay. He was very particular about his words. It seemed that he didn't consider whether Zhu Youxiao could understand them at all. .
"Your Majesty, if there is anything you don't understand, I can read it again."
Murong Lie said, and when he was about to tell the memorial again in ordinary vernacular, he saw Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.
I saw him saying lightly: "
This teacher of mine has led troops to fight, but he still speaks in such a formal manner. Not to mention, I really didn't understand what he said in this note. "
Hearing this, Murong Lie hurriedly bowed and was about to speak, but heard Zhu Youxiao say:
"Don't go to such trouble. Just tell him when you get back that he didn't care when he was my teacher. I can't understand what he said. Anyway, the affairs of Liaodong are all left to him. He can just take care of it. There is no need. You must tell me everything."
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, Murong Lie was shocked. He bowed to Zhu Youxiao and was about to leave, but was called back by Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and then said:
"He is my teacher, I believe in him!"
After saying this, he waved towards Murong Lie.
Murong Lie walked out of the palace, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and murmured in his mouth:
"It seems that the emperor doesn't study, and sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing!"
Indeed, in this kind of matter, if the emperor interfered too much, Sun Chengzong, who was far away in Liaodong, would definitely be helpless and even frightened.
This memorial can be said to be a test by Sun Chengzong, and Zhu Youxiao also gave him a very satisfactory answer. Murong Lie even began to doubt whether the confused emperor people said was really confused or just pretending. Confused?
So he came to the night watchman's building, passed through the circular arch, and entered the flower room where the flowers were blooming.
Although it was late at night, Hua Fangfang still didn't rest, as if she was waiting for Murong Lie.
Murong Lie walked into the room, bowed to Hua Fang, and briefly told what happened in the palace.
Hua Fangfang nodded slightly, sighed and said:
"Your Majesty has a keen eye. It is a very wise thing to let Sun Chengzong take charge of Liaodong affairs. If everything goes according to Sun Chengzong's arrangements, within three to five years, there will be no serious problems in Liaodong, and Ming Dynasty can also breathe a sigh of relief."
Hearing this, Murong Lie frowned and asked with some confusion:
"Although the situation in Liaodong can be temporarily suspended, what if the Ming Dynasty takes a breath? Nowadays, the military pay in various parts of the Ming Dynasty is seriously insufficient, and the court cannot come up with extra money. In addition, natural disasters continue, and the people's lives are not easy. We must restore the Ming Dynasty. Being alive is not an easy thing.”
Hua Fangfang shook her head, looked at the flickering candlelight and was silent for a long time, then turned around and said:
"There was really no way before, but now that we have that kid, maybe there really is a way."
Murong Lie suddenly raised his head and cried out:
"Lin Ping'an, is he really that capable?"
Hua Fangfang glanced at Murong Lie and said with a smile:
"He can go to heaven, do you still doubt his ability?"
Yes, throughout the ages, capable people have emerged in large numbers, but who can take people flying in the air? And he flew directly from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall at Badaling!
Murong Lie was a little silent. When he heard about the marriage granted by His Majesty, he thought it was a joke. How could someone like Yan Xiaoxiao marry an unknown Lin Pingan?
So he came back this time determined to stop this matter, but judging from the current situation, he probably couldn't stop it.
In fact, he didn't want to stop her at this moment, because he had discovered that day that Yan Xiaoxiao was very fond of Lin Pingan, and now he found that the dean seemed to value Lin Pingan very much. In this case, he had no reason to stop her at all.
"Master Dean, what kind of person is he?"
Murong Lie asked Hua Fangfang. He really didn't understand why Lin Ping'an became a person that everyone valued.
Hua Fangfang walked to the window, looked at the dark night, and said slowly:
"He is the messenger of Ming Dynasty given to me by God, and the hope of Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Hearing such high praise, Murong Lie fell silent again, secretly deciding that he must find time to meet Lin Ping'an for a while.
.
Ten days later, a white dove fluttered its wings and landed in a mansion in Shengjing City.
Fan Wencheng untied the small bamboo tube from Jing's white pigeon's leg, took out a piece of paper and read it. After a moment, his expression changed drastically and he hurried out of the house.
"What? Lin Ping'an actually made something that can carry people into flight?"
In Sibeile Mansion, Huang Taiji looked at the piece of paper in his hand, eyes wide open, looking in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true. He flew all the way from the Forbidden City to the outside of the Great Wall, and landed after a distance of more than sixty miles."
Fan Wencheng said with a wry smile: "And all our Niangan people were killed this time. Obviously, Ming Dynasty has strengthened the protection of Lin Ping'an. If we try to kill this person in the future, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
Plop!
Huang Taiji sat down on the chair, his eyes were a little absent-minded, and he murmured in his mouth:
"If the Ming army flies from the sky on that thing, how can I, Houjin, guard it?"
Fan Wencheng seemed to be prepared for this problem. He smiled and said:
"Master Beile, there is no need to worry. Even from Shanhaiguan to our place there is a long distance. Although that thing can fly more than sixty miles, it does not mean that it can fly from Shanhaiguan to the sky above our Shengjing City in one go.
Furthermore, although we cannot kill Lin Ping'an now, if the Ming army wants to use a large number of manned flight tools, they will inevitably produce them in large quantities, so we will have the opportunity to steal that method for our own use. By then, they can fly, we can fly, and that thing won't be a worry. "
Upon hearing this, Huang Taiji nodded repeatedly, but cursed:
"That old guy Hei Xuan is becoming more and more useless. He failed to kill Lin Ping'an several times, and even left such a big thorn in his side. It's really hateful!"
Speaking of this matter, Fan Wencheng was also a little helpless. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was not that Hei Xuan was useless, but that he had despised Lin Pingan from the beginning, so he allowed him to escape back to the Ming Dynasty.
But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more, so he said again:
"Lin Ping'an is now the dean of the Ming Dynasty Zhulin Academy. During the opening ceremony of the academy, Dorgon once ordered people to send gifts."
Huang Taiji waved his hands impatiently and said:
"It's just a child's trick, don't pay attention to it!"
He also had a headache recently. Because he wanted to marry Dayu'er, Dorgon already hated him to the core. When the three brothers saw him, they didn't say hello at all, but glared at him.
Although he did not take this matter seriously, everyone thought that he had stolen Dorgon's childhood sweetheart, and they were deeply ashamed of it.
Huang Taiji was a very ambitious man, and he would never let a woman affect his future, so he wanted to resign from the marriage to Nurhaci several times, but in his mind, he thought of Dayu'er's graceful figure and That bright smiling face suddenly hesitated again.
Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty. Huang Taiji thought that he was a hero, so in the end he gave up the idea.
Seeing that Huang Taiji didn't pay much attention to Dorgon, Fan Wencheng originally wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.
Because Huang Taiji and Dayu'er's marriage will be held next month, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much he says, it will be of no avail.
At this time, Dorgon was drinking to soothe his sorrows. In one month, Da Yu'er in his heart would become Huang Taiji's concubine. By then, he would have to call her sister-in-law, which was really humiliating.
But he had no choice. What was even more unacceptable was that everyone knew that his woman had been robbed by Huang Taiji. This was simply a great shame and humiliation.
So he could only drink, because besides drinking, he could not find any other way to relieve the depression in his heart.
"Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, since you are my elder brother, why do you humiliate me like this!"
He smashed the wine bowl in his hand and yelled in his mind.
At this moment, Duduo ran in, and he grabbed him, Dorgon, and shouted:
"Brother, tomorrow Dayu'er will be sent to our Shengjing City by the Horqin tribe. How about we go and see her secretly?"
