Chapter 262
Of course, Cheng Shijie couldn't tell Cheng Jiayue's mother, so he could only deceive: "Jiayue, you know that mother is the boss and is very busy. Let's eat first and wait until we finish..."
"Stop lying to me and treating me like a three-year-old child? I'm already seven and a half years old!"
Cheng Jiayue said in a very serious tone: "You still lied to me..."
"How could I lie to you!"
Although Cheng Jiayue is only seven and a half years old, the problem is that she lives in an era of information explosion and knows far more than children of the same age in the Ming Dynasty. When Cheng Jiayue first came to the Ming Dynasty, she did not notice this problem. However, as she lived in the Ming Dynasty during this period, almost most of the people she saw were wearing ancient costumes, from school teachers to all the people in the Ming Dynasty. student.
In addition to different clothes and hair, the biggest difference is that there is no TV, no computer, no wires, and no electricity-related things.
Although Liaodong is full of cement roads and two- and three-story buildings, there are no cars, no electric cars, no buses, and no large trucks. Almost all travel requires either horseback riding or horse-drawn carriages. Or walk.
Cheng Jiayue had a bold idea to travel through time and space. In fact, traveling through time and space was not unfamiliar to Cheng Jiayue. When she was with Xiang Hui, she had watched many time-traveling TV series, from the earliest "Xunqin Ji" to There are "Love Through Time" and "Magic Phone" and so on.
After playing with giant pandas for a few days, Cheng Jiayue remembered a video of a little girl asking her father to buy her a panda after watching the panda pavilion. The man in the video told the little girl that giant pandas are national treasures and individuals are not allowed to keep them.
After having this bold idea, Cheng Shijie became vigilant. She deliberately spilled rice on the table when eating at school. If in future schools, she would waste rice like her, which would definitely attract criticism from the teacher. However, in fact, the life teacher in charge of the children seemed like a blind man who did not see this scene at all.
Moreover, what made Cheng Jiayue most incredible was that her classmate Chen Zhong picked up the rice that Cheng Jiayue spilled on the table as quickly as possible and ate it directly.
Cheng Jiayue told Chen Zhong that if the rice fell on the table, it could not be eaten because it was too dirty. Chen Zhong told Cheng Jiayue, let alone drop it on the table, even if it falls on the ground, you can still eat it when you pick it up. A little bit of dirt is nothing, it’s not like I haven’t eaten dirt.
Chen Zhong also told Cheng Jiayue about his days as a refugee. Not to mention eating food with soil, even bark and grass roots might not be found. The experience Chen Zhong mentioned was something Cheng Jiayue could not imagine. This aggravated Cheng Jiayue's suspicion.
Cheng Jiayue began to continue testing. First, when she was painting, she deliberately soiled her clothes. The maids who served her did not dare to say a word and washed the clothes in silence. She deliberately broke the brush wash. Instead of scolding her, the maids frightened her. Gotta die.
Especially when she went out, she saw the guards holding knives and guns, and pistols on their waists. Cheng Jiayue knew this very well. Ordinary people were not allowed to hold knives and guns.
The thought that she might have traveled through time and space with her father made Cheng Jiayue panic. Therefore, she was very determined to ask for her mother, also to make Cheng Shijie tell him the truth.
Cheng Jiayue pointed to the giant panda playing on the slide next to her and said, "Dad, is this a giant panda?"
"yes!"
"Giant pandas are national treasures. How can we raise them by ourselves? This is wrong. Dad, tell me, is this the vast sea?"
"no!"
"How did you become a handsome man!"
Cheng Shijie didn't have time to answer.
Cheng Jiayue shouted at the top of her lungs: "Help..."
Just hearing a crash, dozens or hundreds of crossbow shooters appeared on the walls around the panda house. Each powerful crossbow had already been opened, and the terrifyingly sharp arrowheads had already been embedded in the arrow trough, pointing straight at the front. When the crossbow shooter found that there was no suspicious target, he hurriedly retrieved the crossbow arrow.
At this moment, the clanging sound of armor made the ground shake slightly, and hundreds of heavy infantrymen rushed out of the city gate like a group of tanks.
Cheng Jiayue looked at the crossbow shooters on the wall and the somewhat embarrassed heavy infantry with a proud look on his face.
Only then did Cheng Shijie realize that he had been tricked by his daughter.
"Meet the Marshal!"
Cheng Shijie shouted sternly: "Who told you to show your weapons? Put them away!"
"As you command!"
More than a hundred guards sheathed their swords with a clang. The archers on the city wall also put away their crossbows. Only the one hundred heavy infantry were still standing there like a wall, which was very stressful.
"Cure the team and stand down!"
The guards retreated and Cheng Jiayue said, "Dad, how did you become the commander-in-chief?"
"Daughter, wouldn't it be nice to become a handsome man?"
Cheng Shijie said earnestly and sincerely: "Let's eat!"
"good!"
Cheng Jiayue did not persist. The guards from the Ning Navy Guard Bureau frightened her, especially the more than 200 murderous guards, whose murderous aura was too strong.
Seeing that Cheng Jiayue no longer lost his temper, Cheng Shijie also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he was really not sure that he could successfully bring Xiang Hui to the Ming Dynasty. As for how to bring Cheng Jiayue here, Cheng Shijie still hadn't figured it out yet.
If Xiang Hui was brought here, Cheng Shijie had no idea how to bring Xiang Hui here.
When they came to the restaurant, there was a large table of dishes, all of which were Cheng Jiayue's favorite foods. In fact, Cheng Jiayue's taste can be said to be the same as that of most people in later generations. She also likes to eat meat, and she prefers beef and mutton. Although Hanhai City is not close to the sea, it is very close to the sea. Although the price of seafood is not high , but Cheng Jiayue doesn't like seafood, except of course the only prawn.
Cheng Jiayue doesn't like seafood such as crabs, scallops, sea cucumbers, squid, and tuna. Zhu Weiti has already figured out Cheng Jiayue's taste. When arranging the meals, there are six dishes of beef, including potato stew and beef. Tomato beef brisket, sauce-flavored beef, braised beef, sizzling veal, and spiced beef tendon.
Cheng Jiayue looked at these dishes and realized that she was actually hungry for a long time.
While Cheng Jiayue was eating, she looked at Zhu Weiti and said, "Aunt Zhu, are you my father's girlfriend?"
"girlfriend?"
Zhu Weiti was slightly stunned: "What is a girlfriend?"
Cheng Shijie coughed: "Jia Yue, don't go too far!"
Cheng Jiayue stuck out her tongue towards Cheng Shijie.
Zhu Weiti smiled and said: "I am your father's wife, you should call me mother!"
"What about my mother?"
Zhu Weiti said: "I call her sister!"
Cheng Jiayue said: "Mom's sister is called aunt, that's right!"
While Cheng Shijie was struggling to figure out how to solve family problems, Huang Taiji in Shenyang City was also hosting a banquet for Lin Danhan and his entourage who had come from afar.
Huang Taiji was also very happy to accept Lin Dan Khan's eight great blessings. As the main wife of Lin Dan Khan, Doluo Dafu was born in Nang Nang (historically known as the Queen Mother Nang Nang). Her surname was Borjigit and her given name Namu Zhong (also known as Delegedele) was named the noble concubine of Linzhi Palace (West Palace) by Huang Taiji.
Sutai Dafujin (called Queen Mother Sutai in history), whose surname was Yehenala and whose given name was Sutai, gave birth to the eldest son Erke Kongguo Erzhe to Lin Dan Khan. Ezhe is known as "the last great Khan of Mongolia". Huang Taiji married his second daughter Makata to him and named him Prince Chahar. Perhaps because Su Tai was too old, Huang Taiji did not include her in his harem, but he did not want to waste resources and married her to his cousin Jierharang.
Bad Agate Birch Fujin's surname was Borzigit and her given name was Bad Agate. Huang Taiji incorporated her into the harem and named her the concubine of Yanqing Palace (Cidong Palace).
Among the "Eight Great Fortunes", Erzhetu Fujin was historically betrothed to his elder brother Abatai by Huang Taiji. At this time, because Abatai was captured and imprisoned to death in the capital, Erzhetu was Reward Abate's third son Bolo. However, Erzhetu is the sister of Ataiba's first wife, Fujinara, who has passed away, and is also Bolo's aunt.
Tessina Birch Fujin was betrothed to his son Hauge by Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji married two Mongolian women named Borjigit among the "Eight Great Fortunes" in one go, so he had "one queen and four concubines" in the harem. The other two concubines are also Mongolian women named Borzigit.
The five women in Huang Taiji's harem all have the same surname. This phenomenon is unique in Chinese history. The formation of such a spectacle is no coincidence. You know, the Borzigit family is the surname of the Mongolian gold family.
The so-called Mongolian Golden Family refers to the descendants of Genghis Khan. Marriage with the Mongolian Golden Family will undoubtedly strengthen the alliance between Houjin and the Mongolian Golden Family. Therefore, not only did Huang Taiji marry a woman from the Borzigit clan of the Horqin tribe, but his brothers, including his father Nurhaci, also desperately married a woman from the Borzigit clan of the Horqin tribe. Nurhachi's division of Fusui and military conquest of Mongolia started from the Horqin tribe, and achieved complete success. Huang Taiji also defeated Lin Dan Khan's Chahar Ministry on this basis.
Lin Dan Khan's "Eight Fortunes" actually represent eight forces. Huang Taiji, his brothers, and sons married these women respectively, and the Manchu clan also formed a complicated marriage alliance with the Chahar tribe and even the entire Mongolian tribe.
This situation was related to Lin Danhan's brainless behavior. He fought with Huang Taiji to death, but turned around and attacked the Ming Dynasty again. The people of the Ming Dynasty were very grudges, but Huang Taiji had to worry about his hatred.
Among the three generations of the Aixinjueluo family, to be fair, Hauge has no advantage, nor is he outstanding. At least he is much worse than Yue Tuo, his nephew, and Du Du.
But the problem is that Huang Taiji is already forty-three years old, and Hauge is also twenty-five years old. Forty-three years old is the golden age of men in later generations, which is the peak period of career. However, in the Ming Dynasty, this was already the golden age for men. He is in his twilight years.
In addition to Hauge, Huang Taiji also had two sons who died in infancy, Luo Luo and Luo Bohui. The fourth son of the emperor, Ye Bushu, was only eight years old, and the fifth son of the emperor, Shuo Sai, was six years old. The other sons were not born yet. Although Hauge was not Okay, but he has no other choice. His fourth and fifth sons are all concubines. Their natal family has little influence and has been excluded from the inheritance.
Hauge had the eldest son, a natural advantage.
Hauge was assigned to a beautiful woman. Normally he should be happy. He could see that the skin on the beauty's face was rougher than his hands, especially the big yellow teeth all over her face. Hauge was not happy, but he couldn't show it. To give thanks, give thanks.
Drinking to soothe his sorrows, Bolo is also a fallen person in the world. Not to mention that he wants to marry his aunt. If her aunt is a beauty, that's it. After all, this aunt is only related by blood. But the problem is that Bolo's aunt is only two years younger than his nominal mother Nala. You know how terrible it is for a twenty-three-year-old young man to marry a fifty-three-year-old woman.
Bolo and Hauge, brothers in distress, can only drink to relieve their sorrows.
The more I drank, the louder I became. As a result, in March in Yangchun in Shenyang, snowflakes were falling.
Hauge rubbed his ears that were sore from the cold, and complained: "Such a cold ghost place is not suitable for people to stay. Why is Ming still staring at our place?"
While he was talking, Huang Taiji came over, sat on the ground with his huge butt, and picked up a bottle of wine: "Because the Han people are too greedy, they will never allow a strong neighbor to appear around them!"
Some people think that wherever the nomads go, there are corpses everywhere, which is really cruel. But the nomads pointed at Guan Nei and burst into tears and snot: "Compared with that guy, we are as kind as Bodhisattva!"
The nomadic people's war is to destroy the land but retain the people. They don't need so much land, they only want the population, while the Han people... retain the land but not the people. What is the so-called great integration of ethnic groups? To put it simply, kill all their men and rob all their women, and then the two nations will merge.
When the Han government was strong, any neighboring country with strong military strength or fertile farmland could basically die. But Goguryeo occupied both. If they didn't die, would there be any justice?
In the eyes of neighboring countries and nations, the ferocity of the Han people is deep in their bones. No matter which piece of land they set their sights on, they will have to defeat it even if it takes fifty, one hundred, or even two or three hundred years, no matter which opponent they set their sights on. , even if they fight to die together, they must pull the other party to finish together, and never allow the other party to continue to evolve and grow. It is completely different from the ferocity of the nomads who can die in three minutes.
Hauge said: "Father, do we, Dajin, still have a chance?"
"have!"
Huang Taiji smiled faintly: "I asked you to read more, but you haven't done so. Haven't you studied the Han people?"
"They are powerful now!"
"They have always been strong and good at fighting. It is their nature to be aggressive. When there are external enemies, they will fight against them. If there are no external enemies, they will fight among themselves. When they are exhausted from fighting, they will win. If both sides suffer, then this is our chance!”
"Will they still fight?"
"Will!"
Huang Taiji vowed: "Now we need to be patient. This Khan has sent Fan Qing to the capital to beg for surrender to the Ming Dynasty and ask the Ming Dynasty to allow us to annex Dajin. This Khan can go to the Khan King, General Longhu, and Jianzhou Guard to command Envoy, this official position is not bad!"
…
Liaodong, Jinzhou.
Cheng Jiayue also knew that she came to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, she also knew that Cheng Shijie could bring her here, but he could not send her back to future generations.
Cheng Jiayue tried going on a hunger strike, rolling around and crying, but Cheng Shijie couldn't bring him back to future generations, so he had to give up.
As for Cheng Shijie's twelve concubines, they tried every means to please Cheng Jiayue. Zhu Weiti gave Cheng Jiayue two pandas, and Yang Yuniang gave Cheng Jiayue two newborn sika deers.
Jin Qiaoer gave Cheng Jiayue two Shih Tzu dogs, Lin gave two peacocks, and Gu Ziyi gave Cheng Jiayue two Persian cats.
Cheng Jiayue's current adopted animal panda house cannot be accommodated. She has gained twelve aunts, dozens of pets, including two eagles, and a room full of clothes and food.
More importantly, Cheng Jiayue also has four followers of his own, a small and exquisite carriage and RV, and a large garden for Cheng Jiayue to play.
Just after Cheng Shijie solved the immediate troubles and crises, before Cheng Shijie could breathe a sigh of relief, he received the imperial decree from the court.
No, it should be Queen Zhang’s decree.
"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the Queen's system is said, the Luan script is bright and clear, the Shufan is displayed to promote the emblem, the elephant costume is enhanced, and the Duan is used to hold the body, carry the order and code, and use Huanlun. The Cheng family, the daughter of Gongcheng of Zirhai State, is the original The adopted daughter of the palace is of pure natural talent, virtuous nature, capable of nuns' virtues, and obedient to the rites. It is suitable for her to show her rank and show her etiquette. Therefore, the Cheng family is given the title of Princess Changping, and is given a gold book, a permanent ribbon, and a generous salary. Xian heard it."
Because Empress Zhang had no children, she saw that Cheng Jiayue was smart and cute, so she adopted her as an adopted daughter and named her Princess Changping.
"Meet Princess Changping!"
Cheng Jiayue looked at Cheng Shijie at a loss.
Cheng Shijie's face turned cold: "Are you asking me to send my daughter to the capital?"
"Empress Zhang hasn't met Princess Changping yet. She must at least be sent to the capital to meet the Queen, right?"
The eunuch who came to deliver the order was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He naturally understood what Cheng Shijie meant.
At this moment, the crowd dispersed, and Gao Qiqian came in a dusty journey.
"Meet General Cheng!"
Cheng Shijie smiled and said, "What kind of wind brought Eunuch Gao here?"
Gao Qiqian's face looked a little ugly: "It's a long story!"
Cheng Shijie abandoned the eunuch who came to announce the decree, went back to the study, sat down on the chair, and said straight to the point: "Tell me, what happened to make you so nervous?"
"This... our family doesn't know how to talk about it!"
"Then pick out the most important thing!"
Gao Qiqian said in a deep voice: "A month ago, the King of Liao asked His Majesty the Emperor for a decree to return to the Liaodong fiefdom."
Cheng Shijie heard the taste: "You mean, His Majesty agreed?"
"Of course His Majesty did not agree, but the King of Liao was determined to change the fiefdom. He proposed to use hundreds of fertile fields in Jingzhou Prefecture, as well as the collective support of Huguang officials!"
Gao Qiqian sighed and said: "Your Majesty has always been very soft-spoken. I'm afraid that this time, he will agree to the change of fiefdoms by the King of Liao!"
The first king of Liao was Zhu Zhi. He was first named King of Wei and was elected as the Daming Prefecture of Peking. He stayed in Beijing because of his young age. On the ninth day of March in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, he was granted the title of King of Liao, and on May 27th of the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu's reign, he was granted the title of Guangningwei, the capital of Liaodong.
If the King of Liao moved to Guangning, it would be equivalent to standing between the Ning Navy and Guan Ning Army.
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Who is the King of Liao that he has such great courage?"
Gao Qiqian was slightly startled: "Cheng Shuai doesn't know who the King of Liao is?"
"There are so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, should I know who he is?"
"this……"
Cheng Shijie said this and Gao Qiqian didn't know how to answer. Gao Qiqian replied helplessly: "The current king of Liao is Zhu Shuya, who was named king in the thirty-fourth year of Wanli."
What Cheng Shijie didn't know was that Zhu Shuya was still a long-distance running general. When Beijing was defeated, he escaped from Beijing and ran to Hengzhou. When Hengzhou was defeated, he ran to Guangzhou. Kong Youde conquered Guangzhou. Zhu Shuya surrendered. Kong Youde took him away. execution.
Cheng Shijie now figured it out. He first asked Queen Zhang Yan to give Cheng Jiayue the title of Princess Changping, and then asked Cheng Jiayue to go to the capital. This naturally meant taking her hostage.
Now Emperor Chongzhen actually made up and performed a trick to let the Liao king change his fiefdom. Although the Liao king ruled Liaodong and was also in charge of Liao affairs, apart from the first generation Liao king Zhu Zhi, there were only Zhu Xianyu, Zhu Shudong and Zhu Shuyuan. (In thirty-four years, he died), this guy, like Zhu Changluo, managed to get to the throne, ascended the throne in the same year, and died in the same year.
However, after Zhu Shuya came to the throne, he did not take care of the affairs of Liao Mansion. Instead, he inherited the throne in Jingzhou Mansion. Now that Zhu Shuya is called out, no one will believe that Emperor Chongzhen has good intentions.
This is clearly a chess move, a chess piece to differentiate and win over the civil and military forces of Liaodong. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, no matter how strong Cheng Shijie's ability is and how high his prestige is, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied with him. When Cheng Shijie was the dominant family in Liaodong, those who were dissatisfied with Cheng Shijie did not dare to express their anger.
But the problem is that once the Liao king Zhu Shuya arrives in Guangning, those who disobey Cheng Shijie in Liaodong will definitely defect to Zhu Shuya. In this way, the purpose of splitting Liaodong will be achieved.
When the conflict broke out between the King of Liao and Duke Hai, unless Cheng Shijie wanted to rebel, he could only ask Emperor Chongzhen to mediate their conflicts. This was the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen.
"This matter seems to have nothing to do with Eunuch Gao, right?"
"What do you mean it doesn't matter?"
When Gao Qiqian heard this, he immediately became anxious: "The King of Liao moved to Liaodong and set up Guangning avant-garde, Guangning rearguard, Guangning left-back, Guangning right-back, plus Guangning guard, which gives him five Guarding the troops and horses, doesn’t Cheng Shuai realize the seriousness of the problem?”
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "The King of Liao has strong soldiers and horses. Let the heavy responsibility of recovering Liaodong be left to the King of Liao. I will retire and return home!"
Judging from the current situation, the honeymoon period between him and Emperor Chongzhen is over. In fact, most emperors can share adversity, but never wealth.
Cheng Shijie used all means to help Emperor Chongzhen solve his financial crisis. Now that Emperor Chongzhen had just got six to seven million taels of silver in his hands, he began to target Cheng Shijie.
"Cheng Shuai, you can't..."
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "After half a lifetime, I finally found my daughter. It's time to enjoy life!"
Cheng Shijie decided to take the opportunity to solve his own problems.
