Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 457

"Bring it up!"

Zhu Changyuan's face was a little reddish, and it was a big shame to be ashamed.

Cao Huachun brought up the memorial in the soldier's hand and handed it to Zhu Changyuan. Zhu Changyuan opened it and looked at it carefully, and then he knew the general process of the matter.

It turned out to be his fault.

Some time ago, the kings were divided, and Duoduo was named the king of Mongolia, and he was ordered to lead the army to attack Mongolia.

It's a pity that there was discord within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Hauge's soldiers were unwilling to distribute them to him. As a result, all of Duoduo's ten thousand soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled.

But even so, Duduo also achieved impressive achievements that are difficult for others to achieve: five battles and five victories, and countless Mongolian princes were captured.However, after all, there is too much disparity in strength.

When the Mongols organized a real attack, he would die, and was beaten back to his hometown in Liaodong after three battles and three victories.

Not only that, Duoduo also died in battle, and the entire army of more than [-] men under his command was wiped out. Mongolia took the opportunity to be aggressive, and the soldiers pointed directly at Liaodong, wanting to take the land of Siping and even Liaobei as their own.

That's why Zhu Changyuan received this memorial.

"Dorgon went to attack Fusang Kyushu, who knows what's going on?" Zhu Changyuan put the memorial on the table, seemingly asking an irrelevant question.

The courtiers below look at me and I look at you. Usually no one cares about this question, but now the emperor suddenly asked it and really couldn't answer it.

Kong He took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I urged Dorgon to go to Kyushu as soon as possible a few days ago, but he kept refusing to go, always citing shipbuilding as an excuse!"

"En!" Zhu Changyuan nodded, and said, "The cabinet drafted an imperial decree to Dorgon, ordering him to suspend his eastward journey to Fusang, and turn to the west to avenge his brother."

"I plan to make an agreement with him. One month later, Da Ming and Dorgon will force Mongolia from the southeast and drive it out of the grassland!"

Zhu Changyuan directly ordered, not caring about the cabinet's thoughts at all.

Xue Guoguan's face was slightly embarrassed, he stepped forward and knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty must not do it. Now that the country has been initially established, when it is time to use troops, the grassland is no better than other countries. Its territory is vast and sparsely populated. They often live in water and grass. .If we win in one battle, it’s okay, but if we can’t win in one battle or we can’t find the enemy after sending troops, it’s extremely bad for me, Ming.”

The corners of Zhu Changyuan's mouth curled up, and he said: "Master Xue is too worried, this kind of thing will not happen."

"Your Majesty!" Xue Guoguan continued to speak.

Zhu Changyuan reprimanded directly: "Absurd, half-knowledge!"

"I just said that I would fight with Dorgon. I never said that I would send troops to attack. I have my own way. Don't wait to dissuade you!" He waved his hands to let Xue Guoguan go on.

Kong He looked at Xue Guoguan with resentment, his fingers clenched into fists, and said to himself, "Whatever the general says, you dare to object. Don't you know that obeying orders is the duty of soldiers?"

After thinking about it, it seems that Xue Guoguan is not a soldier.

That's not OK!Kong He firmly believed that everything Zhu Changyuan did was right.

After retiring from the court, Zhu Changyuan secretly met a person in the cabinet of the side hall: Zhou Kui!
Zhou Kuizhe is the old father-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen, and it can also be said that he is the former head of state and the father of Empress Zhou.

This guy is also a strange thing. When Chongzhen used Xue Guoguan's idea to ask all the officials to help them pay, his father-in-law was on the list.

Chongzhen meant to ask him for 10 taels of silver, and then return it when the national tax comes up in the future, but this guy is extremely stingy, saying that he has no silver, so he can only help pay 100 taels.

Later, Chongzhen had no choice but to give him the title of marquis, and he asked people to go to him to beg him, so he barely got 1 taels out of his mouth.

But it was the 1 taels of silver, and this guy shamelessly ran to the harem to complain to his daughter, and at the same time hoped to follow his daughter's path and get the 1 taels of silver back.

What a character Queen Zhou is, she understands righteousness.How could he let his father do such a thing?

Therefore, she persuaded earnestly, analyzed the current situation, and took out 5000 taels from the queen's private treasury to Zhou Kui, and told him: "You take the 5000 taels of silver first, and donate it to the Yamen later in your name." !"

After Zhou Kui got the silver, he happily agreed, but immediately changed his mind after returning home, forgetting his daughter's instructions, and withholding 5000 taels of the 3000 taels of silver in his hand, and only handing over 2000 taels to the state.

The weirdest of the weirdest, the miser can't be exaggerated.

It would be fine if he was just greedy and stingy when he said the money was paid, but what he is doing now is somewhat unscrupulous or even shameless.

This kind of shamelessness made Zhu Changyuan want to kill him.

Zhou Kui, as a relative of Emperor Chongzhen, was a majestic national patriarch. Before his death, the emperor entrusted Zhou Kui with three children in his home so that he could live incognito from now on.

Fortunately for him, his daughter had just died less than two months ago, and he couldn't wait to send his grandson to the new court to ask for credit, and he wanted to continue to be his head of state.

After the prince from the first dynasty is sent to the new court, he knows what will happen with his ass!
But the prince's grandfather actually did this.

Zhu Changyuan entered the cabinet with a gloomy expression. Seeing Zhou Kui who had already been sitting in his seat, he couldn't help but feel sick and wanted to twitch.

Chongzhen, Chongzhen, now I finally know why your country was subjugated. Look at what these courtiers of yours are. Now, I can't help but feel sorry for you.

What you old man said is true, all the ministers misunderstood me, and all the ministers misunderstood me.

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Kui got up as quickly as possible after seeing Zhu Changyuan, opened the chrysanthemum on his face as if he saw his own father, kowtowed to Zhu Changyuan, and paid homage.

Zhu Changyuan gave a cold snort, raised his foot and walked over beside him, sat down on the chair, first drank the tea for a long time while gently shaking the teacup, and then asked: "Mr. Zhou asked to see me, what's the matter? "

Zhou Kui knelt on the ground, turned his head to Zhu Changyuan in a strange posture, looking very much like a turtle.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince hid in the courtier's house first. After much deliberation, the courtier felt that he should turn it over to the new monarch, so as not to be disloyal and filial, which will leave him with a bad reputation!" Zhou Kui didn't have much education, and he spoke in a set way.

Zhu Changyuan sneered, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The prince is at your house, okay, I have been looking for him for a long time. But Mr. Zhou, you have given me a problem. You give it to me, and I will give it to you." How to deal with it?"

"If I kill the prince, I will inevitably be stigmatized. You also know that the prince is nearly ten years old and has never participated in military affairs. Naturally, there is no moral taint. I will not be famous if I kill him. But if I don't kill him , Keeping it will be a threat sooner or later, if one day he grows up, he will stab me twice."

"How is this good!"

Zhou Kui is also a ruthless person. After hearing Zhu Changyuan's words, he felt that it made sense, but he still didn't do enough to win the emperor's favor.

"So, I understand!" Zhou Kui assured Zhu Changyuan in a serious manner.

"You understand?" Zhu Changyuan was taken aback for a moment, I didn't say anything, what did you understand?

"Resign!" Zhou Kui bowed, then stepped back with his head bowed.

Zhu Changyuan was stunned and stunned, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he asked Cao Huachun to go out and chase Zhou Kuila back, and asked, "Why are you going, when will I let you go?"

Zhou Kui was stunned: "Didn't your majesty let the minister handle it? I thought, in order to avoid the stigma of your majesty, I would rather, I would rather handle it myself, so as to avoid future troubles!"

"Beast!" Zhu Changyuan threw the teacup and its lid onto Zhou Kui's face, oh, and tea leaves and boiling hot water.

"Puwu..." Zhou Kui wanted to vomit, but unfortunately he didn't dare.

"ungrateful!"

Zhu Changyuan walked in and kicked him up, kicked him two feet away, and scolded: "Isn't the prince your own grandson? Isn't he the biological son of your own daughter? How can such an inhuman person stand in the temple?" superior!"

"Call me out!" Zhu Changyuan waved his sleeves, and some soldiers came to invite Zhou Kui out.

"Go, find someone to take the prince out of this guy's house."

Cao Huachun followed.

In fact, the prince didn't leave the capital at all, and Cao Huachun took him back to the palace within half an hour.

Seeing that the palace was like yesterday, but everyone had changed faces, and he could no longer see his father, emperor and mother, the prince burst into tears.Cao Huachun comforted: "Prince, oh no, look at my mouth!" While speaking, he twitched his own mouth.

"Young master, although your father is gone, your aunt is still here, don't you miss her, don't cry, hurry up and follow the old minister to have a look."

"Woohoo!" Zhu Cihong stopped crying, and followed Cao Huachun all the way to the palace, to Kunning Palace.

After meeting Zhang Yan, the two naturally cried for a while, and Zhu Cihong's mood gradually improved a lot.He usually spends very little time with Chongzhen, and he is not very familiar with his biological mother, Queen Zhou, but he is inseparable with this imperial aunt every day, like a mother and child. Now that Zhang Yan is still there, life changes are unimaginable to him. It is as huge as the one in the picture, but it is acceptable.

Zhu Changyuan entered the palace from the outside with a smile, saw Zhu Cihong, and said with a smile: "Little boy, let's meet again!"

Seeing Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up at first, and he shouted: "Master!" But just after shouting, his eyes suddenly dimmed again, looking at Zhu Changyuan, he said: "My brother said that you are now the emperor, don't you?" ?”

Zhu Changyuan knelt down and said to Zhu Cihong, "Yes, I am the emperor now."

"Then will you kill me?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Zhu Changyuan smiled, looked at Zhu Cihong, thought for a while, and said, "Do you think I will kill you?"

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "No!" Then he said with some doubts: "But those old uncles and uncles said you would kill me."

"Oh, that's not sure, it depends on how well your aunt treats me in the future!" Zhu Changyuan shook his head and said, "No, from today onwards, you can no longer call her auntie, it should be grandma !"
