Chapter 628
In the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Zhang Cheng sat on a chair with half his buttocks, and was gazing intently at a maid of honor. He saw the eyes on her oval pretty face, which were as clear as water under the long eyelashes, and the small pale red eyes. The little bead on the mouth is even more lovely.

"A half-curved phoenix eye hides amber, and each vermilion lip is dotted with cherries."

Zhang Cheng felt that this maid in his eyes had seen somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment, he had already forgotten where he was, and was only searching for the answer in his heart.

Chen Xinjia saw that Zhang Cheng lost his composure and dared to stare at Gong'e in front of Emperor Chongzhen. He hated him so much in his heart and cursed secretly: "It's so cowardly, you dare to do it in front of the emperor." Such a disgrace to Meng Lang."

"Cough cough..."

He coughed hard a few times, but Zhang Cheng was still indifferent. At this time, the voice of Emperor Chongzhen came: "Zhang Cheng, how many soldiers and horses have you brought to Liaodong to break the siege of Jinzhou this time?"

The entire East Nuan Pavilion was completely silent, and a needle could be heard falling, and that beautiful palace lady had already noticed that Zhang Cheng had been staring at her, but there was nowhere to hide, and her already pretty face was flushed with anxiety, making her even more shy .

"Zhang Cheng, the emperor asked you something!"

Chen Xinjia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered to remind Zhang Cheng.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Cheng woke up suddenly. He first looked up at Emperor Chongzhen who was behind the case, and saw that his face was as pale as ever, and he couldn't see a trace of joy or anger.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly got up and threw himself down in front of the chair, kowtowed endlessly, and said at the same time: "Please forgive me, the emperor will just look at the palace woman like Chang'e in the painting. I also ask the emperor to forgive me... forgive me... "

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhang Cheng who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy on the ground, the expression on his face remained unchanged. After being an emperor for more than ten years, he has already cultivated the ability to not express emotions.

"Get up."

Although Emperor Chongzhen said these three words in a low voice, Zhang Cheng could hear them clearly, and felt relieved, but he didn't get up, and still knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

It was Chen Xinjia who reminded softly: "Zhang Cheng, get up quickly, Your Majesty forgives your innocence!"

Only then did Zhang Cheng stumbled up the donkey down the slope and stood in the East Nuan Pavilion with his head down, not daring to go back to the chair just now.

There seemed to be a hint of a smile on the corner of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth, but it was so fleeting that no one could notice it. Anyway, Zhang Cheng didn't see it.

Zhang Cheng now knew that Emperor Chongzhen would not punish him for his disrespect just now, but whether he could really pass the test today, there was still suspense until the last moment.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't tell Zhang Cheng to sit down, but asked softly, "Zhang Cheng, I came to ask you, who did you say she looks like just now?"

When Zhang Cheng saw Emperor Chongzhen pointing to that palace maid and asking him questions, he naturally couldn't say that this palace maid looked like a friend of the opposite sex he had before time travel, not to mention that now it seemed that he only looked like that.

The reason why he was stunned when he first entered the Dongnuang Pavilion was that he mistakenly thought that this maid was just like him, someone who had traveled through future generations, after all, his appearance was too imaginative.

However, at this moment, he is also basically sure that this palace woman will never come from time travel. As for the resemblance, he can't help but think of an assertion that he has seen somewhere in later generations: every few hundred years, there will be someone who looks exactly like himself. people.

I saw him knelt on the ground again, kowtowed and replied: "Returning to the emperor, Zhang Cheng just thinks that this palace lady looks exactly like Chang'e in the painting. I was insane for a while, and I ask the emperor to forgive the crime of rudeness!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak when he heard the words, he turned his head and looked at the palace lady. At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen had already forgotten that he had embraced this unknown palace lady in his arms for intimacy.

Yes!

He is such an emperor who wears clothes and eats all day long, and works day and night, and the daily affairs of the government are about to wear him down. He doesn't even have time to accompany the queens and concubines in the harem, so how can he treat an unknown person in front of him? How caring is Gong'e.

On that day, it was only after Fufan suffered disaster that he suddenly heard the good news of the great victory in Kaifeng, and he had no place to vent his joy for a while, so he took a palace lady into his arms and made some intimate gestures, but he later said The matter was completely forgotten.

Looking at that Gong'e now, I seem to have some impressions in my heart, but I can't remember it for a while, so I stopped thinking about it and asked, "What's your name?"

The young Gong'e knelt on the ground and replied in fear: "Go back to the emperor, servant girl Tang Chunru."

Emperor Chongzhen ignored her, and turned to Zhang Cheng and asked, "Zhang Cheng, let me ask you, how long will it take to resolve the siege of Jinzhou?"

Zhang Cheng knelt on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, in the 11th year of the last general, he fought several battles with the Donglu. Although the Luqi field battle is strong, it is not invincible.

If all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can work hard, and if we can command and dispatch properly, set up the camp tightly, defend and lead the attack, and wait until the Donglu troops are slightly defeated, then find a gap and attack fiercely, maybe we can win the battle and make the Donglu within a few years. Don't dare to do it again.

It's just that our army is first assembled, and it will take time for the commanders of the towns to work together to defend against the Eastern captives. In the war in Liaodong, we should be cautious and not rush forward. Once the battle in Liaodong is unfavorable, My Ming Dynasty has no more military rescue, so it will be too late to regret. "

After he finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground, waiting for the order of Emperor Chongzhen.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Get up, sit down and talk."

It was only the second time that Zhang Cheng got up slowly, returned to the chair and sat down, but what he didn't know was that the maid named Tang Chunru was watching him quietly with a pair of clear phoenix eyes.

As soon as he sat down on the chair, he heard Chen Xinjia say: "Your Majesty, the food and salaries delivered to Liaodong should be able to last for more than half a year, but it is not easy to raise money and food now, and the war in Liaodong should be resolved quickly. If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid Food and pay are unsustainable!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't stop nodding when he heard the words. He also knew that in the past few years, he was suppressing thieves and dealing with Eastern captives. Daming's money and food had been emptied, and Liao's salary, suppression salary and training salary were levied again and again. , causing the people to live in dire straits, but the thieves and bandits have not decreased, but more and more suppressed.

He sighed in his heart, and said: "Money and food are difficult to raise, and it is not easy to transfer. The war in Liaodong cannot last long. Zhang Cheng, you should work together with several generals to solve the siege of Jinzhou as soon as possible." Drive back the Eastern captives to relieve the siege of Jinzhou."

Zhang Cheng saw that their monarchs and ministers were singing and singing together, and they all advocated a quick battle, so he didn't insist anymore. He saluted respectfully and replied: "Please rest assured, your majesty, the last general will leave the capital and go east. Seek a quick battle!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded. He was slightly satisfied with Zhang Cheng's answer, and asked about some military affairs, so he ordered Zhang Cheng to step down first!
