Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 440 I want to help you as a wife
But Zhou didn't know if Dorgon had ambushed masters around him, and whether Luc Dehun on the side would suddenly stop him.

In order to better bury deeper in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and fulfill the entrustment of his emperor Zhu Youjian to himself, Zhou Ze did not take such rash actions.

And Zhou Ze knelt down in front of Dorgon without any hesitation:
"The servant has seen the prince!"

"Get up." Dorgon was also looking at Zhou Ze carefully. Although he had never met Zhou Ze, he had checked Zhou Ze's background.

Although on the surface.

Zhou was favored by Luck Dehun because of his good opera singing, and Luck Dehun was Dorgon's confidant, so he became the deputy capital of the Han Army Banner.

But in fact, it was Dorgon who was willing to promote Zhou Ze after he found out that Zhou Ze was originally a former Ming actor and had no official background in the Ming court.

Dorgon knew that there were few Manchurians, and the Qing Dynasty would naturally need a large number of Han people if it wanted to maintain its rule.

But he hopes to use some Han people from lower backgrounds, so that these Han people can be grateful and forget the old Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Dorgon also reused the coat slaves of various princes Baylor.

Now Zhou Ze naturally became the deputy capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty because of this.

When Dorgon saw Zhou, he was calm and not bad-looking, and he was a little happy:
"I heard that you were attacked by Hong Chengchou as an abandoned army to attack Xingshan camp, but you outwitted Xingshan, and led more than two hundred cavalry to break out of the siege and rescue your master?"

"Returning to the words of the prince, the servants dare not lie to the previous sentence of the prince;
At that time, the Xingshan Camp was actually a lucky slave. I thought Master Hong sent the slaves to the Xingshan Camp to die, but who knows that there are not many guards in the Xingshan Camp, and they are all old and weak, so the slave's outsmart is not counted. , just happened to come across it.

As for the matter of saving the master, the slave actually has selfish intentions. If you don’t come out to rescue the master, I’m afraid that you will not tolerate a slave like me, and a slave like me is not worthy of being a slave. Master's reasoning. "

When Zhou Ze said this, Dorgon was naturally satisfied: "You are an honest person."

Dorgon now believes that Zhou Ze has nothing hidden in his heart, and seems to be more responsible.

Then, Dorgon asked Zhou Ze: "According to your master, do you know the whereabouts of Hong Chengchou?"

Zhou Ze naturally guessed that Dorgon would ask himself this matter. He didn't stay in Xuanchengbo's mansion for nothing. Having seen a lot, I naturally know what the answer Dorgon really wants is.

"At that time, the servant was anxious to save the master, so he sent many rangers to find out the whereabouts of the master, but he never expected to meet the master. After saving the master, he sent brothers to call other brothers back to find out the whereabouts of other troops. According to those who came back, Hong Chengchou’s body was not found, but according to the information from the Ming army, Hong Chengchou met Zhu Youjian that night and offered ten strategies for the Northern Expedition.”

Dorgon was struck by lightning after hearing this.

Although Dorgon has always been suspicious of people, he is not suspicious of people, but now he will care about it and make chaos, and people who are always smart will easily think things complicated.

Now hearing what Zhou Ze said, Dorgon also began to wonder if Hong Chengchou had been acting as a spy for Zhu Youjian all the time.

Even thinking of Hong Chengchou's advocacy of conquest of Ming Dynasty in the past and even actively offering suggestions, Dorgon now thinks that it is all about bringing his new force from the Qing Dynasty into Zhu Youjian's encirclement so that Zhu Youjian can eat his new force.

In addition, Hong Chengchou's surrender to the enemy caused Dorgon's instinctive distrust of Hong Chengchou and the existing distrust between Manchu and Han.

Moreover, now that the Qing army has been defeated and the main force has been completely lost, Dorgon also needs to shirk his responsibility. Naturally, he wants to blame Hong Chengchou, so he can't help but slap the table angrily: "What a scheming!"

"You are capable and your own slave. I can only trust you. Meng Qiaofang will definitely not come back. You will take over the position of governor of Shaanxi and change it to governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. You will be in charge of military affairs in Sichuan and Shaanxi. Liang Anmin!"

Zhou Ze almost didn't react when Dorgon said this suddenly, but immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"

"Back off, the court order will come down in a few days."

After Dorgon said this, Zhou Ze stepped back, and he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the lie he made up was still the right bet. Now Dorgon really wanted Hong Chengchou to take the blame, and he didn't care about himself anymore. What is said is true and false.

As soon as Zhou Ze left Dorgon's mansion, he saw a group of cavalry coming:

"The prince has an order, Tu Hong Chengchou is full of family!"

Suddenly, smoke and dust rose all the way, and the sound of horseshoes kept rushing.

"Old thief Hong, you will have today too."

Zhou Ze couldn't help but sneer.

Immediately, Zhou Ze returned to his mansion in a hurry. Seeing the fourth girl Hanran sitting at the table in the main room and looking at him with a cunning smile, Zhou Ze was in a good mood and couldn't help shouting:

"Miss Hanran, Mr. Zhou wants to help you as his wife!"

"What are you saying all of a sudden?"

Hanran stood up and walked over gracefully, brushing Zhou Ze's messy hair, with a smile on her mouth, she was magnificent:
"Look at you, with this embarrassment on your face, did you win this battle?"

"Victory, I have seen His Majesty."

As Zhou Ze spoke, he hugged Han Ran horizontally:
"Fourth Miss, Zhou Ze wants you to be my wife!"

"Isn't it now?" Han Ran asked with a smile.

"No, this doesn't count, I want everyone to know, let everyone in the capital know!"

Zhou Ze carried Hanran into the room as if in a frenzy, ignoring the sumptuous dishes on the table, and within a short while there was the sound of * * *.

After the cloud collected and the rain rested for a while, Zhou Zecai hugged Hanran's delicate body and said:

"Dorgon wanted me to be the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi."

"From this point of view, the focus of the Manchu Qing Dynasty next will be Hanzhong and Sichuan. If you go to Sichuan, if I go with you, I will definitely be suspicious. There is no one who leads troops to fight with wives and concubines. It is just right for you to support me as a regular wife." Allow me to take this opportunity to make friends with the rich and powerful in the Manchu Qing Dynasty under the guise of an imperial edict?"

Han Ran asked.

"You're not as smart as the fourth girl," Zhou Ze said with a smile.

"Then tell me, do you really want me to be your wife, or do you just want me to get information conveniently?" Han Ran looked at Zhou Ze and asked.

"Naturally, it's sincere. Who doesn't know that Zhou Ze is an infatuated kind, but fourth girl, can we do it again? These days, Zhou Ze always thinks of you in his eyes and dreams."

Zhou Ze pursed his lips, staring at Hanran hungrily.

"Take it easy, you just hurt me."

Hanran smiled, but when Zhou Ze crawled over, she couldn't help saying, "Wait, put on a hat to cover that braid, it's annoying to see this dog's tail!"

"I'm also annoyed, I wish I could cut him off! I don't know how long I'll wear it."

"It's almost time, the higher-ups are already preparing for the Northern Expedition. It's just that Nanjing has made it clear, but our Grand Marshal's Mansion is already planning, eh!"
