Duanben Palace.

Zhu Cixi looked up expressionlessly under the shade of a tree in the courtyard at the birds chirping on the treetops. Not far away, the palace maid Linglong looked at him at the entrance of the palace and sighed quietly, her heart skipping a beat. There is no way to tie up a small wild animal in this palace compound. The horse is gone.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Chang is busy with official duties. He should be here later." Linglong walked to Zhu Cixiang and whispered. She was waiting for Chang Yu outside the Qianqing Gate. She finally saw someone in the afternoon, but Chang Yu He was in such a hurry that he had no time to see the prince.

"I am a little anxious. He has not slept since he hurried into Beijing from Gubeikou last night. Even his iron-clad body can't bear it." Zhu Cian looked back and sighed softly: "It should be very lively outside the palace right now. ?”

The capital city can no longer be described as lively. To be precise, it is boiling. Yes, it is boiling.

It stands to reason that the common people in the capital have seen the world. In the past ten years or so, the imperial court has been a complete failure both externally and internally. Occasionally, when there is a small victory, it is full of self-deception. Over time, it has become insensitive and has never felt that there is anything truly worth celebrating. It was a great victory, but one bad news after another made people panic.

At the beginning of the year, the bandit army crossed the Yellow River to march eastward and besieged Taiyuan with heavy troops. The sword pointed at the capital and the whole country was in an uproar. But just when everyone in the government and the public had their own secrets, good news came that the Shanxi general general Zhou Encountered Jilik's bandits and routed hundreds of thousands of his troops. For the first time in more than ten years, the people of the capital felt the excitement of good news.

Later, Wu Sangui defeated more than ten Qing troops outside the pass, and the generals of Baoding Prefecture joined forces with King Qin to fight Li Zicheng back to Xi'an. The good news was really coming, and the people's excitement was getting higher and higher. Of course, at this time, the government and the public also noticed a key point. The man is the eunuch of Dongchang! He is behind every victory.

If the previous bloody battles were a bit far away from the capital, and the people were excited but lacked some sense of empathy, but this time the Qing troops entered the customs and experienced the pain and pleasure from beginning to end.

In the past month or so, the Qing army has broken through the customs and entered the country, stormed the imperial capital, and then marched south to plunder and besiege Qingzhou Prefecture... Every scene has touched the heartstrings of the people in the capital, and every good news has made them excited from the bottom of their hearts and sweat pores. .

The battle to defend the capital, the camel camp to lure the enemy into battle, the Xianghe River shopping spree... went to the Tatars to sue for peace, made compensation in Tongzhou, and ambushed at Gubeikou... they had won many battles. Think about how the imperial court had ever been so tough and victorious against the Tatars in the past ten years. However, if nothing else, in the past years when the Tatars entered the customs, they would always leave with full harvest and swagger, but this time they stole the chicken but lost the rice. Not to mention the damage to the soldiers and horses tonight, two of their generals were injured and captured their prince. , and compensated tens of thousands of war horses before leaving customs! I am really proud of myself!

The imperial court issued several good news in two days, which brought the whole capital to a boil. Everyone in the teahouses and restaurants talked about it. The emperor had the ability to recognize people, the imperial court had the ability to strategize, and the soldiers had the desire to kill the enemy and serve the country. Even the usual The shameless Dongchang also has the ability to supervise the war... This is the point of Donglin, who has always been at odds with the court in the past. Groups such as Fushe have also begun to shut up, and there are fewer targeted clamors.

When the matter was over, he took off his clothes and went to hide himself. At the time of the whole city's carnival, Chang Yu huddled behind the public case in Waidongchang's Yamen and read the official documents. His face looked slightly tired. Dongchang's fans were coming in and out with various secret reports. According to the information, several personal attendants in the courtyard were chatting and drinking tea, looking like they were peacefully passing by.

Mr. Factory, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to bring some snacks. Could you please meet me when you are free?

He is busy with official duties.

The factory owner, Mr. Wu of Jin Yiwei, asked to see him, saying that he was discussing the military parade.

Let him discuss with the Ministry of War Shi Kefa and the Ministry of Revenue Shangshu Ni Yuanlu, and everything will be done in accordance with the order...

Factory owner...

At the time of application, the fan on duty gently closed the door and said to the outside world: "The factory owner is taking a rest, please don't disturb me."

At the same time, Deshengmen was very lively inside and outside. Soldiers and horses escorting baggage from Tongzhou and Shunyi directions entered the city one after another, attracting countless people to watch and discuss, and some even couldn't help but cheer. This is definitely a rare thing, you know that in previous years, people He hates officers and soldiers even more than he hates bandits and bandits.

Wow, that's the Shenji Camp.

Hey, I have a sharp eye. The one riding the big black horse was Mr. Wu...

I heard that the Shenji Battalion had made many military exploits. They used cannons to defeat the Dog Tartars... Wu Houye was very proud this time...

Wu Weiying led his troops into the city with a smile on his face. His face was filled with a vague sense of pride. Before he followed the little eunuch, he was just one of the countless nobles in the capital. Now, he is the sign of the deferential marquis of the old Wu family. Maybe the old tree has sprouted new branches. When I listened to the discussions of the people on the street, my pride became stronger. Even the ordinary people knew about the great achievements of the Shenji Battalion. Hehe, word spread really fast.

The day before yesterday, Chang Yu broke off with Dorgon outside Tongzhou City and pursued him northward. Wu Weiying ordered Wu Weiying to escort the troops back to the capital. However, after several days of pursuit and rapid march, his soldiers were too exhausted, so Wu Weiying did not take action immediately, but took a little rest to take advantage of the opportunity. I met Liu Zeqing and several others, and after building some friendships, he broke camp and returned to Beijing in a hurry. He didn't arrive outside the city until this afternoon. It happened that Gongziying's escort from Shunyi also arrived outside the city, attracting countless people to watch.

But Wu Weiying, Gao Jie and others have an incomparable relationship, and they have never had any contact before, so why are they suddenly becoming friends? It can only be said that they are all old people, and they are just guests!

The little eunuch is now at the height of his power, and his reputation in front of Emperor Chongzhen and in the government and the public is unparalleled. Wu Weiying followed him in the north and south and made great contributions. At this time, Gao Jie and three people went north alone and had no idea of ​​the situation, so naturally they wanted to find someone to trap them. To use clichés, Wu Weiying thought that his life would be like this. But now there was hope for further progress. He also decided to work hard in the army to ensure that he could add glory to the old Wu family. He was before The Governor of Jingying had also been in the military, so he naturally knew the importance of a network of connections. Liu Zeqing, a distinguished figure, and Liu Ma, Liu Hua Ma, were all powerful warlords who dominated one side and held military power. They had their own explanations for shackles with a few people so that they would be able to meet each other in the future. Endless benefits.

So in Tongzhou, when Chang Yu raised his troops to move north, and Wu Weiying was thinking about how to get close to the three men a few miles away, the soldiers came to report, and Gao Jie and the other three asked to see him!

Wu Weiying was flattered by this. Although he had a distinguished status as a marquis, these three people were murderers. They were unruly warlords who held heavy troops and could even ignore the emperor's imperial decree. So he hurried to greet him and started a hot chat. model.

But the old man always kept half of the words and kept the other half, trying to figure out each other. Liu Zeqing and the other three pretended to be confused and curious, asking questions, asking how the Qing army and the young eunuch fought with each other for thousands of miles after entering the customs, and asked what was going on now. Condition?

Wu Weiying is also a good person, and his answers are all specious. Some of them are very detailed, such as how the Shenji Battalion overturned Duduo's troops in the Camel Camp, how they bombed Kong Youde to a bruised nose and face in the Yellow River, and how well they played in the Qingzhou War. Of course, it’s not enough to boast about its important role. How to stay away from the little eunuch at all times, how to use troops to hide in the sacred mountain, how to coordinate with the inside and outside, how to lead the way and kill countless enemies, and even broke Dorgon’s arm just now...

Liu Zeqing and the others were so shocked that their jaws almost dislocated. The little eunuch had broken Dorgon's arm just now! ! !

Then the topic changed, and it was Wu Weiying's turn to insinuate Gao Jie and the others about the process of intercepting Li Zicheng, and hinted that the three of them had gained a lot. Liu Zeqing and others also boasted about how fierce the battle was, and how the intruders were trapped and still fighting, but they actually gained very little...

So, what is the situation now? Is there a peace agreement or something else? Finally Huama Liu asked the key.

I do not know! Wu Weiying shook his head like a rattle. He said that after the little eunuch had a fight with Dorgon, the Qing army broke camp and headed north. The little eunuch followed closely, and he was ordered to rest and return to Beijing.

Liu Zeqing and the other three looked at each other and knew something: they were at odds with each other. To be precise, neither family wanted to fight but the terms had not been agreed upon, so the stalemate continued until the Qing army left the border and everything was fine.

The stalemate is the best situation. The Tatars don't want to get hurt before going out, and the little eunuch is not sure about retaining the guests, so that's it.

Come on, there’s nothing to gain this time!

This trip was just a show of trying to show off the little eunuch's face, and the little eunuch seemed to know that there was no oil or water for them and was too embarrassed to bother the three of them, so he let them rest where they were.

Although this situation made the three of them a little more disappointed than before, it was still within the acceptable range, and they were even relieved. So they ate, drank and chatted in Wu Weiying's camp until he broke camp and returned to Beijing. Liu Zeqing and the others were still there. Camping by the Tonghui River was motionless.

Why is this?

At the feet of the Emperor, you must be a good boy. The little eunuch asked us to wait for orders, so we should wait for orders. Otherwise, if we follow Wu Weiying back to Beijing, what if the little eunuch deliberately set a trap and fell out with them? Wouldn't it be an unjust death for someone who disobeyed military orders?
