Wu Sangui respected himself as a soldier and guarded the country outside the customs. The court had always been cautious in treating him, for fear that if he accidentally poked his sensitive part, it would cause serious consequences.
Wu Sangui undoubtedly took the lead in Ningyuan's victory, but blindly putting a high hat on him will make him more elated. If he accidentally hits the next one and it hurts, he will stumble again. This is a problem, and now Emperor Chongzhen wants to Listen to the little eunuch's opinion.
"Rewards and punishments are clear, merit is rewarded and demerit is punished," Chang Yu said thoughtfully.
"Are we going to give him one of the Eight Kingdoms Pillars?" Chongzhen was a little confused.
"Yes, but not now!" Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Rewards and punishments must be clear and combined. Originally, with Ningyuan's great victory, he could have been firmly among the pillars of the country, but if he neglected his duties, he must atone for his achievements and then all be together. Reward again!"
"The next thing you said was..." Emperor Chongzhen had already heard that there was something in Chang Yu's words.
"After retaking Jinzhou!" Chang Yu chuckled: "The Qing Dynasty was hit hard when they entered the customs. Dorgon had no time to be with me when he returned to the DPRK, but it was a good opportunity for us to regain Jinzhou, and it also gave Wu Sangui Find some work, otherwise he will be called a guardian of the country, but in fact he will be moldy in Ningyuan City drinking tea and basking in the sun every day."
Emperor Chongzhen touched his palm and said, "No, if he is just sitting there with nothing to do every day and wants this and that, it's time to find him some work."
Chang Yu continued: "After Zu Dashou comes back, he will hand over the task of recovering Jinzhou City to his uncle and nephew. They can also take the opportunity to divide Wu Sangui's military power and appear to let nature take its course, saving him from being arrogant."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed: "But if I don't let him be the pillar of the country by recounting his merits now, will he be deprived of his power?"
"So we need to give him hope. After the news is released and Jinzhou is recaptured, the national pillar will be 100% sure. Only with hope can we be motivated to work. Moreover, the emperor might as well spend more money to hang him."
Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand at this time: "Spend more money?"
Chang Yu whispered a few words in his ear, and Chongzhen was stunned for a long time: "You started baiting again!"
Chang Yu sighed: "The situation is forcing others to work hard these days, so they have to be willing to sacrifice their own capital." Emperor Chongzhen nodded, "You are right." Then he looked at Chang Yu with a half-smile but said, "You can both be embarrassed and embarrassed." Winning Wu Sangui's appetite can win your hearts and minds at the same time, you are killing two birds with one stone!"
Chang Yu quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "It's to win people's hearts for the emperor!"
"Okay, as long as the Tatars can be wiped out and the traitors are wiped out, no matter how big the capital is, I will buy it and how many people will buy it." Emperor Chongzhen became very ambitious for a while.
"Since the emperor has such a big heart, why not hold a big military parade in the next few days to win over people's hearts?" Chang Yu suddenly suggested.
"Military parade, me?" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned.
"I heard that Your Majesty summoned all the officials to slap some people hard in the face today, but I thought the beatings were not painful enough. Why not take this opportunity to hold a grand military parade and slap them hard on the face? Knock the Mountain Zhenhu to make them stop. Secondly, to consolidate the imperial power and stabilize the people's hearts, and to encourage military morale after the war has just ended."
"Do it! It must be a big one!" Stars appeared in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes instantly, red stars!
"At this time, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the capital. The scene is definitely big enough. At that time, the emperor can summon envoys from various countries, civil and military officials, nobles and gentry of the capital to attend together, and allow the people to watch the emperor personally review the 100,000 troops and reward the meritorious soldiers!"
"Do it!" Chongzhen punched him, and the bowls and chopsticks flew up on the table again.
When the mood was aroused, it would kill him if he didn't let it go. Emperor Chongzhen took the young eunuch and talked non-stop about the military parade, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.
Chang Yu traveled all night and stayed up all night, but his energy was always strong and he could endure it. But who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen's thin body could actually endure it. He was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, but his eyes were more red.
The topic ranged from military parade arrangements to the current war in the south and suddenly detoured to Liu Zeqing and others. Emperor Chongzhen was very puzzled when he heard that the young eunuch had left Gao Jie and the others thousands of miles away outside Tongzhou City and ignored them.
Chang Yu gave a detailed explanation. First, he was brought here to prepare for emergencies. If the Tatars did not negotiate peace and wanted to fight for blood, the three of them would be able to cheer and cheer from the outside even if they did not take the beating. Secondly, He also took this opportunity to get to know the bottom of the three people. You must know that in history, the three people dared to resist the emperor's order, and the emperor did not give them face. Chang Yu just wanted to see if his words worked.
"At least it shows that they are a little restrained now and at least they are not resisting the order." Emperor Chongzhen has always been worried about Liu Zeqing's pretending to be injured in resisting the order: "But you don't plan to clean them up for me, and I won't be relieved if you don't beat me!"
"One of the reasons why I asked them to come is to vent my anger on the emperor." Chang Yu smiled.
"How to vent your anger? They don't have many troops at this time. What if we don't take the opportunity to pull them out?" It can be seen that Chongzhen wanted to get rid of Liu Zeqing more than Wu Sangui.
Chang Yu shook his head: "It's a bit too hasty. It's a good thing that there aren't many troops around the three of them, but it's not a good thing either. Although we can take advantage of the opportunity to take action, the main force is thousands of miles away. If they hear the news and cause chaos, it will be out of control, let alone clean up. They were planning to let them contribute to fight poison with poison to bite the intruder! If it is used smoothly, it will take more time, after all, it is difficult to raise a good dog!"
"If you don't pull him out, how are you going to vent your anger on me this time?" Emperor Chongzhen understood what Chang Yu meant, but he was a little unwilling to do so.
"Let them see that they can't eat it. It's best to spit out some more." Chang Yu smiled sinisterly.
The monarchs and ministers in the Qianqing Palace are discussing secretly, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb them. The eunuchs and maids in the imperial city are already whispering and gossiping that their idol, the young eunuch, has returned to the capital. I heard that he had another fight with the Tatars in Gubeikou yesterday...
In Duanben Palace, Zhu Cixiang jumped up and down, staring at Linglong at the door: "You haven't come out yet, haven't you come out yet? It's been so long since you've been in there... Oh my father, too. He didn't sleep all night after returning to Beijing..."
"Your Highness, please be at peace. In the past few months, Eunuch Chang has chased the Tatars from the north to the south and driven them out. I have to explain every little thing to the emperor in detail..." Linglong comforted her.
"I know, but I have to let him rest for a while. Hey, go and watch in person. When Chang Yu comes out, take him here immediately..." Zhu Cixiang was so anxious that he almost rolled on the ground.
In Kunning Palace, Kunxing Princess Zhu Yuyao was accompanying Queen Zhou to have lunch. She opened her jade teeth lightly and pretended to be indifferent: "Mother, did you hear that Chang Yu has returned to Beijing?"
Empress Zhou nodded, unable to hide her joy: "Little Changyu is really powerful. Not only did he let the Tatars keep all the things they had stolen, but he also made the Tatars lose tens of thousands of horses."
ah! Zhu Yasuo's eyes were filled with stars: "He is so awesome."
"No, if our Zhu family didn't have him, hey, we really don't know what we would be like right now." He said with a happy face: "I just heard from Dongchang that he ambushed the Tatars outside Gubeikou yesterday. This kid is really good at playing tricks, I'm afraid Dorgon would never have thought that he would bite him even after leaving the barrier!"
Zhu Yasuo covered her mouth and chuckled: "Chang Yu is so evil!"
Empress Zhou also laughed: "He was mean to the Tatars, but he was very kind to our Ming Dynasty and our Zhu family!"
"Chang Yu is a bad guy," the nearly six-year-old Princess Zhaoren muttered while slowly stuffing food into her mouth. Queen Zhou and Princess Kunxing couldn't help laughing, and the maids next to them also covered their mouths and snickered.
