Chapter 570 Zhang Cheng is good, live up to my expectations!

On the third day of the first month of the 14th year of Chongzhen, in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in the Imperial City of the Imperial Capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial from Kaifeng on the imperial case, and dared not open it for a long time.

After a long time, he finally had the guts to dismantle Gao Mingheng's secret performance of the Henan tour press. He only glanced at the content of the "reason" and his face was full of shock.

He seemed to be in disbelief, and after busy reading it again, a long-lost smile flashed on the corner of his mouth. After he finished reading the full text excitedly, his face had returned to the rosy color of blood, and he felt a sense of spring breeze on his face.

Due to the excitement in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen's fingers trembled even more fiercely. A court lady with a beautiful face and fair skin was lowering her head to add incense to the Xuande incense burner. Using her to vent the fury in her heart made her heart constrict in fright, her face turned pale, her calves trembled, and bursts of cold sweat broke out on her back.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention to her, and with excitement, he hastily opened Zhou Wang Zhu Gongyan's memorabilia, read it hastily, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

It was only at this moment that he realized that the maid Tang Chunru had finished adding incense, and she was withdrawing her white and tender hands from the incense burner, ready to step down slowly.

When Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, he felt that the court lady in front of him was slender and graceful, wearing a light red robe, with a rose made of velvet on her temples, her hair was thick black, and her neck was pink and white.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was full of joy because of the great victory in Kaifeng, suddenly hugged Tang Chunru into his arms, put him on his lap, lowered his head, kissed her pink neck, and then kissed her on the cheek After a while, he said loudly: "Okay! Kaifeng is safe!"

…………

Emperor Chongzhen held the young and pretty Tang Chunru in his arms, looked at her white teeth and bright eyes like autumn water, and suddenly saw himself reflected in her eyes, and suddenly remembered that there were a few lines in Zhou Wang Zhu Gongyun's memorabilia that he hadn't read clearly.

He pushed Tang Chunru away from his arms without mercy, picked up the memorabilia and read it carefully. After a while, he put down the memoir, picked up the ink pen and wrote down the edict:

"It is about to arrest Li Xianfeng, governor of Henan, Wang Yinchang of Bingbei Dao, Wang Shaoyu of commander-in-chief Wang Shaoyu and others. The inspector censor Gao Mingheng has made meritorious service in defending the city, and he was promoted to governor of Henan; the deputy general Chen Yongfu was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Henan, and his son Chen De was promoted to guerrilla General, Wang Xie, magistrate of Xiangfu County, was promoted to censor, and the rest of the meritorious personnel were investigated separately and rewarded for their meritorious service."

He then bowed his head again and drew circles in Gao Mingheng's memorabilia with a red pen. In particular, he wrote in the memorandum how Li Zicheng's surprise attack failed, how Zhang Cheng and Chen Jiugao defeated Kou Dun, a thief from the north of the city, and how Chen Yongfu and his son broke the siege of Kaifeng. They attacked the bandit camp at night and shot blindly, until finally Zhang Cheng and Chen De chased the bandits for more than a hundred miles, killing and wounding tens of thousands of bandits.

The more Emperor Chongzhen looked, the more excited he became, as if he was already in the Kaifeng city tower pointing the country. The red circles were like his battle axes. , Loyalty is commendable."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was holding a vermilion pen in his hand, shouted even louder: "Hello, Zhang Cheng, you have lived up to my expectations! Chen Jiugao, you didn't embarrass me! Chen De, you are a general!"

Emperor Chongzhen was happy in his heart. He paced back and forth, and suddenly stood still in front of the imperial case. He grabbed the ink brush and began to write: "Zhang Cheng, the deputy general of Xuanzhen Town, is in peace with the people. With the merits of recovering Luoyang, he is now under the city of Kaifeng to thwart the ferocious flames of the bandit army, winning consecutive battles. He should be a model for all armies, in order to demonstrate his merits and encourage the latter.

Promote Zhang Cheng..."

He picked up his pen and meditated, and after a while, he put down the vermilion pen in his hand on the pen stand, and said softly to the little eunuch at the side: "It is said that the cabinet ministers Fan Fucui, Chen Yan and others and the Minister of War Chen Xinjia have come to the palace."

…………

The immature court lady who was still adding fragrance to his red sleeves just now, and was embraced by him in a moment of joy, and kissed twice was still standing beside him, but he had forgotten it beyond the sky.

There are thousands of maids in the Daming Palace, most of them are rough envoys, who can serve the emperor, empress, and imperial concubine, and have the opportunity to be seen by the emperor.

And these lucky maids all hope to be favored by the emperor accidentally, fortunately there is a "day of success" in the palace.

But Tang Chunru was still young, and she had only been in the palace for two years, so she was unprepared for this sudden event. When she was embraced by the emperor, she was very panicked, shy, and her heart was beating wildly, but she didn't dare to struggle. He was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing.

When she was pushed away by Emperor Chongzhen, she staggered two steps before standing still, and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing whether to walk away or stay.

After a while, she realized that the emperor was concentrating on dealing with military affairs and didn't want her anymore, so she thought she should leave. She timidly retreated to the door, lifted the curtain, and hurried away.

…………

The afternoon sun shines into the Warm Pavilion through the carved windows. Although it is not very dazzling, it adds a lot of warmth. Emperor Chongzhen stood in front of the window, bathing in the warm sun.

He even daydreams whether the spring of Daming has come at this time!
The rebel Li Zicheng experienced such a big setback, the situation in Henan should be able to ease for a while, and although the battle in Sichuan was set back by Huangling City, there is still no warning from Zhang Xianzhong after he left Sichuan. It seems that Huguang is not yet in great danger .

Emperor Chongzhen thought that it seemed that he had to pull out his hand to save the crisis outside the pass.

He understands that Zu Dashou was besieged by Dong Nu in Jinzhou, which is related to the overall situation of the Jinzhou defense line in Liaodong and Ning. Now Jinzhou has been besieged for a long time, and food and grass are extremely difficult. Surrender, the defense line outside the customs that the imperial court has worked so hard to build is unimaginable.

There was a sound of small footsteps, from far to near, but Emperor Chongzhen still stood in the light and shadow of the warm sun, unmoved at all, enjoying the bright spring in his heart.

At this time, Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies and the admiral of Dongchang, was also among the crowd. He took a few steps forward and called softly, "My lord, my lord, all ministers are here."

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen open his eyes in the light and shadow, and he walked slowly back to the imperial case with some reluctance. He sat on the dragon chair and ordered: "Give a seat to some of your lovers."

Seeing the long-lost smile on Chongzhen's face, Fan Fucui and other cabinet ministers felt a lot more relaxed. They had been hiding for several days, and no one dared to enter the palace to make fun of themselves without being summoned.

They hurriedly prostrated and sat down on the chair brought by the little eunuch, all of them dignified and respectful, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to speak.
