350, Emperor Chongzhen is in a good mood, Wang Chengen has doubts
Beijing City, Ming Dynasty Palace.
In the imperial study, a cabinet meeting is about to come to an end.
The theme of this meeting was mainly the spring plowing that was in full swing in the Ming Dynasty.
For the agricultural society, spring is undoubtedly the most important season of the year.
As long as farmers can plant crops into the fields, they will have hope of living in the next year.
With hope, they will stay honestly in the fields, work day after day, and contribute their strength to the Ming Dynasty with great effort.
If there is no hope, they will rise up and become the next Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.
Of course, Chongzhen understood this very well in his heart, but in the Ming Dynasty under Chongzhen's rule in the past, there were constant natural disasters and man-made disasters, so there was no such condition at all.
It's different now. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been pacified, and the war between the Ming and Qing dynasties will not affect the territory. It is an excellent opportunity.
Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Send orders to me. This time, all local officials and the envoys of the Three Sessions must be arrested as the top priority. If anyone cannot pass the assessment, I will directly remove him from his post and kill him!"
Chongzhen also made up his mind that he did not want to see the second Li Zicheng killing outside Beijing.
After hearing Chongzhen's order, several cabinet masters and eunuchs naturally replied.
After dealing with these, Chongzhen was relieved and asked, "Have any new news been heard recently?"
The person who answered this question was Fan Jingwen: "The Ministry of War has not received the latest war report in the past two days."
Chongzhen frowned immediately when he heard this.
In the previous battle report two days ago, Zhu Cixuan told Chongzhen that he had discovered the main force of the Mongolian army and was about to find an opportunity to fight the main force of the Tatar Mongolian.
Then there is no further information, until now.
This feeling is like reading a serial novel and seeing the climax part, but the author suddenly said that he would update it tomorrow...
Li Banghua said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the most outstanding commander in our Ming Dynasty. Nothing will happen if he is in charge."
Chongzhen sighed and said, "I hope so, all the ministers will be dispersed."
Seeing everyone dispersing, Chongzhen suddenly lost his mood to continue handling government affairs.
He sat in his seat and was silent for a moment, then stood up: "Go and go to the queen's side to take a look."
When Chongzhen saw Empress Zhou, he was surprised to find that the Crown Princess Luo Yunyao was also there.
"I've met my father." Luo Yunyao saluted Chongzhen.
Chongzhen nodded slightly and smiled: "Pretty, are you here to pay tribute to your mother today?"
Queen Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am lonely, so I ask Yao'er to talk to you."
Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and then he quickly understood the meaning of Empress Zhou.
Queen Zhou probably missed her son.
Sure enough, the next moment, Queen Zhou asked, "Your Majesty, is there any new news coming from the side of Feng'er?"
When Luo Yunyao heard this, she also looked at Chongzhen with anticipation.
Chongzhen replied a little embarrassedly: "There is no new news yet. If there is any, I will let someone tell you two immediately."
For some reason, Chongzhen suddenly regretted the decision to come to Queen Zhou.
At this moment, Wang Chengen quickly walked into the hall with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, the good news he just sent back from the north has already achieved a great victory in the grassland!"
As soon as Wang Chengen said this, the three people present were instantly excited at the same time.
Chongzhen said repeatedly: "Hurry up, let me show you!"
Soon, this good news written by Zhu Cixuan was taken apart by Chongzhen and he read it carefully.
I saw it said:
"My son Zhu Cilang initiated his father:
After half a month of traveling, my son met the Tatar Mongolian Chahar, Korchin and other small and medium-sized tribes somewhere in the grassland in the south of the desert, with a force of about 60,000 cavalry.
Fortunately, our army was responsible for their efforts to defeat the enemy and annihilate more than 10,000 enemies. Chaharhan Abunai led the remaining troops to surrender, and the Korchin tribe thief Badali led the troops to flee.
The son ministers will continue to lead their troops to pursue Badali's troops, in order to win with one blow, completely eliminate the Tatar Mongolia's border problems against the Ming Dynasty, and ask the father and the ministers to rest.
I also asked my father to quickly tell the British Office of Shanhaiguan to follow the plans agreed by my son and the British Office in advance, and still not make any changes."
Chongzhen read the content of less than two hundred words several times.
Queen Zhou on the side couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Chongzhen then came to his senses and smiled: "Queen, Feng'er won, and it was a big victory!"
Queen Zhou and Luo Yunyao let go of their hearts at the same time and smiled.
Queen Zhou couldn't help but complain: "Your Majesty, it's a good thing, just say it quickly. I'll be scared when I've watched it blankly for a long time."
Chongzhen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I was shocked by Yan'er's record, so I looked at it carefully several times."
This is really not a brag. The border generals of the Ming Dynasty have always had the tradition of liaring about military merits and even killing good people. Chongzhen has also been cheated many times.
If it weren't for the reminder of Queen Zhou, Chongzhen wouldn't even realize that this time the leader was his son, and the dignified Prince of Ming Dynasty would not have had to exaggerate the credit at all!
Empress Zhou was also a little proud when she heard this and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the ability of Yan'er is real, there is absolutely no falsehood."
Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes, sometimes I feel strange. I obviously don't have any military capabilities, so why did I develop a son like Wanger who can fight?"
Empress Zhou held Chongzhen's hand and smiled and said, "Who said Your Majesty can't fight? You have the blood of Taizu and Chengzu. If one day you personally commandeer, no enemy can be your opponent!"
Chongzhen suddenly felt relieved and laughed loudly.
"Wang Cheng'en, didn't Wang Er say that I would send me a message to the Duke of England? Go quickly."
Wang Chengen responded, smiled and left with a light pace.
However, when the eunuch of the Silijian left Chongzhen's sight, the expression on Wang Chengen's face changed a little.
"The agreement between His Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of England, and His Majesty's tone just now... Are there some things His Majesty should know but not know about?"
Wang Chengen narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
For others, there seems to be no difference between being loyal to Chongzhen and being loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
