Chapter seventy-ninth quick battle
Huangtai's army was invading, and even went to Yizhou City in person. It can be seen that he wanted to capture Zhu Cilang alive.
The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, this huge fat meat, is tempting Huang Taiji.
At the same time, Hong Chengchou was secretly happy. Zhu Cilang's plan really worked, and Huang Tai fell into the trap.
Beijing City was not so calm. The Qiansui of the State Crown Prince was besieged on the border. Chongzhen was anxious: "Where is Luo Yangxing, please come!"
Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has been very busy recently. The reason for his busyness is that the 500,000 taels of silver collected by Zhou Kui, the father-in-law Zhou Kui. If Zhou Kui had been thrown away the more than one million taels of silver, he could hear at least a splash.
And the 500,000 taels were donated quietly. No one in the capital knew about this.
It is said that Zhou Kui, who donated the 500,000 taels of silver, was so funny at home. He relied on his servant Liu Fu to feed food and drink water every day, just like a walking corpse.
Luo Yangxing thought it was for the sake of the 500,000 taels of silver, so he happily entered the palace: "Emperor, I have done the money and money according to your instructions. The prince of the country sold his property and had already collected 500,000 taels of silver and handed over all of them to the Beizhen Fushi."
Chongzhen frowned. He was not asking Luo Yangxing for this: "No one can tell the queen about the Liaodong affairs, and those who violate the crime will be killed without mercy. Go and tell the big-mouthed guys in Huitongguan. Whoever dares to mention the Liaodong affairs to the Queen again, please ask them to sit in the imperial prison. Also, when the queen asks, she says everything is fine in Liaodong."
Empress Zhou could no longer bear this stimulation. If she knew that her son was besieged by Jiannu on the front line, she would probably not be able to bear it. Chongzhen must hide this from her. Although he was the emperor, he had a deep relationship with Empress Zhou and his wife.
Luo Yangxing knelt down and received the order: "I obey the order."
Empress Zhou was always worried about Zhu Cilang's safety, and her maid Xiao Tao often went to and from Huitong Hall.
This originally inconspicuous small official position has now become a hot commodity in the eyes of the palace queen. Mao Jiang, the ambassador of the Huitong Pavilion, is a ninth rank. Among the many official ranks in Beijing, no one takes a ninth rank ambassador of the Huitong Pavilion seriously.
At this moment, Mao Jiang crossed her legs and was humming a little song leisurely by the table. Huitong Hall is a clear yamen, and there is no benefit on weekdays. But he has become a fat man these days.
That is Xiao Taozi, the maid next to the queen in the palace, comes to inquire about news from Liaodong every day. Xiao Taozi often rewards a few taels of silver when she comes, saying that it is the queen's favor.
This made Mao Jiang discover a rule that as long as he talked about the situation in Liaodong that was extremely nervous, the little peach would lose his vigor and then give him a few taels of silver. On the contrary, if Liaodong was safe and sound, the little peach would bow and thank him and leave.
After a long time, every time Xiao Taozi came back, Mao Jiang would deliberately speak out: Oh, it’s a bad thing in Liaodong. Although there was no urgent report, the postmen from there said that Jiannu had great movements at any time. I heard that Huangtai was extremely fierce and cruel, eating human flesh and drinking brains. I hope that the Qiansheng Emperor would protect him so that Jiannu would not dare to get close.
Every time this happened, Xiao Taozi was so scared that she was disgraced. While taking out a few taels of silver, she reminded Mao Jiang to continue inquire about information about Liaodong.
The ginger came to the queen's head, and this ginger really ate the courage of the bear heart and leopard.
On this day, this guy hummed a small song and drank tea in the Huitong Hall. He lay on the chair and closed his eyes happily, humming a Peking Opera and closed his eyes and enjoyed his face.
Suddenly, my shoulders hurt a sharp pain. When I opened my eyes, I saw a palm like a palm fan pressing on my shoulder.
Mao Jiang was shocked, and when he looked up, he almost fainted. He looked at the other person in horror, his teeth trembled, and his words were trembling and he couldn't speak: "Big, big, big, sir, sir..."
Because Mao Jiang saw the identity of the other party’s Jinyiwei, the rise of the Jinyiwei, not to mention Luo Yangxing’s personal visit, even a small family of Jinyiwei was enough to scare him, the ambassador of the Nine-rank Huitong Hall, to the point of peeing his pants.
Luo Yangxing pinched his shoulder and said sarcastically: "Mr. Mao, I heard that you have been very close to the palace in recent days. If you should say or not, I heard that you have said a lot. You don't have to keep your mouth. Come to our Zhao Prison. We Zhao Prison has a good tailor, so let him sew your mouth up. How about it?"
To deal with such a sesame official, he actually needed a commander of the Jinyiwei in person. Mao Jiang was so scared that he peed his pants. He was covered in soft teeth and trembled: "Finger, commander, commander, lower, lower, lower, right, know, you know the crime."
The other party was so scared that Luo Yangxing didn't have to continue to make things difficult for him. He just leaned over and whispered in Mao Jiang's ear: "Remember, the people in the Queen's harem come to ask about Liaodong again, so you will say that..."
When Xiao Taozi returned to Qianning Palace, she looked full of joy: "Empress, great joy, great joy."
Queen Zhou, who was weaving cloth, stopped the work in her hand in shock and looked at the happy little Taozi: "What, what's the happy event?"
"The person who went to Huitongguan said that the prince's prince was no longer in Yizhou City. Governor Hong personally went to Yizhou City to persuade the prince, and the prince agreed."
"Really!" Empress Cao stood up in surprise when she heard this: "Didn't Ci Yang say when will she be back?"
Xiao Taozi shook her head: "No, but I'm not sure. The people from the association said that the Crown Prince had already arrived at Shanhaiguan. He said that he would not go outside the pass, and that Shanhaiguan was far away from the front line would be much safer."
At this time, the Liaodong Songjin defense line was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and Shanhaiguan was the last line of defense. If Zhu Cilang stayed in Shanhaiguan instead of Yizhou City on the front line, it would mean that it would be much safer.
When Queen Zhou heard this, she hurriedly stroked her chest: "Thank God, the Buddha bless you, and the ancestors bless you."
There was a tense atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace. Chongzhen clenched his fists and his face was full of nervousness. Several ministers in the Qianqing Palace were also panicked.
"After all, Jiannu surrounded Yizhou City. What should I do? Who gives me an idea? What should I do!"
Chongzhen was anxious. His son was surrounded by Jiannu, so how could he not worry?
However, to his disappointment, the ministers below were like dead pigs, all bowing their heads and silently.
This made Chongzhen even more angry. His ministers didn't say anything, so he had to choose one: "Chen Xinjia, Minister of War."
Chen Xinjia shivered. The Minister of War was not a good job. Since Jia Jun in the early years of Hongzhi, the Juren has never been a Minister of War. The military was in critical condition and the ministers were unwilling to be the Minister of War, so Chen Xinjia became the Juren.
