Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 131 Resolving the Crisis

With panda eyes, Lu Mou entered the palace with a thick official document and memorial under his arm, went to the imperial study, took the official document and memorial directly in front of his father Chongzhen, and muttered angrily: "My father, my old man Dad, why don’t you do something else?”

Chongzhen raised his head from the pile of memorials and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"I seriously suspect that my father is lazy and deliberately encourages those ministers to come to my mansion every day to ask for work instructions. My mansion is my home, not a court or a place of work. Besides, my father is hiding in peace. , send the ministers to me. How old am I? What can I do? In order to assist my father, I have to grit my teeth. This is the official document I received. It is within my authority and I approved it. , it’s not my business, I wrote some suggestions, it’s up to you, Father, to approve them.”

Faced with San'er's complaints, Chongzhen was very pleased.

He smiled and said: "I am not hiding in peace. Look at the memorials and official documents in front of me. They are much more than yours. Why don't you share some of the burden for your father and complain about you?"

"It's not that I'm complaining, it's just that I'm afraid of trouble. Look at my eyes. The dark circles are like pandas, and the bloodshot eyes are like fishing nets. When I was a child, I was a flower in bloom in the Ming Dynasty, growing up. time. Father, if you do this, you will destroy the flowers of the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing such a metaphor, I was about to take a sip of tea to moisten the growth of my throat. A mouthful of tea spurted out, making a large piece of the memorial in front of my eyes wet: "There are still flower buds. With your performance, I think it will be a good time to bloom in the future." Foxtail grass. Nothing.”

"It's not that I don't want to share some of the burden for my father, but I am originally a person who can't stand still when climbing up trees to catch birds or going down to rivers to catch fish. I don't want to do anything. I just want to enjoy my prince's luxurious life honestly. This It's good, now you don't have a big cow to take care of the calf." Then he wailed and screamed: "Why is my life so miserable? When can I stop caring about things and be a carefree pig?"

Chongzhen also smiled helplessly: "Isn't there no way? Although the ministers are diligent now, we really have to rely on our father and son to run the Ming Dynasty. What can we do?"

"Hey, by the way, these things were originally done by my brother, the chief minister and prince of the dynasty. He is not my business. I am just a dog and a mouse doing things for my brother. Father, why don't you wait for me? My brother, King Yong, is one year older. Now, how about sending him to the Shanhaiguan Supervisor to replace my prince brother and assist my father in governing the country?"

Chongzhen patted San'er on the head who wanted to give up his choice: "Your brother is only eleven, you can't bear to let him go?"

Lu Mou looked discouraged: "I really can't bear to let him out. Oh, what can I do?" After saying that, he suddenly became excited again: "By the way, all the ministers went into the palace to confront the emperor alone. The palace was heavily guarded and the procedures were cumbersome, so you came to me. Dad, why don't I move back to the palace? In this way, wouldn't everything be solved?"

Chongzhen choked again: "According to the rules, at your age, you must live away from the palace. This system cannot be broken. Also, you take it home from time to time. Who can come and go from the palace? Therefore, the rules cannot be broken. Damn, it’s convenient for you to bring it home. Besides, it’s also convenient for you to handle some things for your father outside. You’re also blocking some trivial matters for your father. Your filial piety, your hard work, your father’s psychological memory You are here, go back quickly. There may be someone else or something waiting for you to deal with."

"But--"

"I allow you to act expediently and make the decision on my behalf. That's fine."

Lu Mou felt happy that the crisis was over. He was so good at acting. Was I an actor in my previous life?

He was happy and relaxed in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to have a sad face: "Well, this solution has not been successful, but it has been tightened. My fate is..." Then he left dejectedly.

Looking at his son's back and thinking about what his son had just said, Chongzhen also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is all forced by the current situation. You are still a child, so you have to share such a heavy burden for me. What bad thoughts can a child have? ? Why can’t I change my suspicious character?"

Suddenly, San'er came back in a hurry: "That's right, Dad."

"what?"

"Ah, father, I plan to go to his defense area with Wu Sangui this time. I have to urge him to send troops to Yuan Zongdi to completely regain Xuanda, eliminate the threat to the capital from the north, and open the way for me to counterattack Shanxi next spring."

Chongzhen smiled: "I think you are not going to supervise Wu Sangui, you are trying to hide from Qingjing."

Lu Mou deliberately giggled: "Father, you can see it. As the saying goes, if I can't carry it, why can't I hide? This matter is settled." Then he ran away happily without waiting for Chongzhen's answer.

Lu Mou was skeptical that Wu Sangui had just arrived to report victory. Lu Jian could not guarantee Wu Sangui's ability to annihilate Yuan Zongdi with fifty thousand Guan Ning.

So this time, Lu Mou prepared to take his precious 20,000 cavalry to go to war. After hearing that Lu Mou wanted to go to Xuanda and annihilate Yuan Zongdi, Zu Kefa couldn't sit still and went directly to Lu Mou to ask for a fight: "The emperor and the prince have shown great kindness to our ancestors. We, father and son, can't do anything for it. If you don't report, you can only fight for the country on the battlefield. Therefore, I, General, please bring my ancestral soldiers and the two Mongolian battalions to follow the prince to fight."

Zu Dashou controlled two battalions of three thousand Mongolians who were loyal to him. According to Lu Mou's military system, this violated the rule that generals are not allowed to raise personal soldiers.

However, Zu Dashou has returned, so you can't rush to seize his military power just yet, you can only maintain the status quo for the time being.

Fortunately, the military expenditures of these two Mongolian battalions did not need to be paid by the court. Their ancestors had a great business and a large family in western Liaoning could afford to support them.

Now, they have been placed in Tongzhou, a crossroads between the north and the south, a place where merchants gather at waterways and docks. In the future, the ancestral shop plus the income of the million acres will no longer be a problem.

How to eradicate this private army has become a serious problem for Lu Mou and Li Yan.

This time, he took the initiative to ask for a fight, but it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the enemy and consume them.

But after thinking about it again, Lu Mou shook his head: "To be honest with General Zu, it will be an easy task for me to go north to eliminate Yuan Zongdi this time, but I have to take the opportunity to do another thing."

"I wonder if the general can ask the military plane?"

"There is nothing we can't say about you and my family. Let me tell General Zu that after I destroy Yuan Zongdi this time, I will prepare my troops to go out and beat the Mongols, the Manchu lackeys. Beat him so that they will not Dare to cross the Great Wall easily and threaten our Ming Dynasty, so that I can conquer the northwest next spring and relieve my worries. And both of your Mongolian battalions are Mongolians, I'm afraid-" Then stood up: "But I know General Zu's devotion to the country. Let’s wait until next spring to sweep across the northwest and fight side by side.”

Zukefa couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"why are you laughing?"

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Although my three thousand Mongolian soldiers are Mongolians, they hate Mongolians even more."

"why?"

"Because they are all Mongolian fugitive slaves who were forced to have no other choice. Every day and night they are thinking about when they will return to Mongolia and seek revenge on their leader."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Lu Mou rolled his eyes and had a new idea: "Well, I have changed my mind. I will reposition the status of your ancestral family."

Zukfa was so surprised that he didn't know what was going on.

After a late-night plot with his friend Li Yan, Lu Mou no longer dared to make the decision without permission. After the court meeting the next morning, Lu Mou asked to see Chongzhen alone.
