Listening to those sarcastic sarcasm, Kou Baimen and Bian Yujing's faces turned pale.

Bian Yujing pulled Kou Bai's door and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as them. It's just a mud that can't be supported on the wall. It's really not worth it if you get angry!"

Kou Baimen said angrily: "Even if you are not capable, you still call me Huan. Mr. Li can write a Dream of the Red Chamber. Can they write? Mr. Li can write so many beautiful poems. What else can they do except talk big and attack and slander? I just can't stand these people. No wonder the Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse, it's just because these people are messed with!"

"When did you hate evil so much?"

Bian Yujing forced a smile.

"Miss Koubaimen is here, can Miss Koubaimen be there?"

At this time, the madam led a breathless young man to the yard.

Everyone turned their attention to it.

"I am, who are you?"

Kou Baimen asked with a look of vigilance.

The young man bowed: "It turned out to be Miss Kou. I am Tang Yan, the distribution agency of Ming Pao's distribution office in Nanjing. Miss Kou has a manuscript adopted by me. Today I am here to give Miss Kou royalty fees!"

"Oh? The royalty?"

Everyone was talking about it. Although Ming Pao had already stated that once the submission was adopted, there would be a fee for the manuscript, no one took it seriously. Unexpectedly, someone really came to give the manuscript fee.

Li Xiangjun couldn't help but say, "How much is Amei's royalty?"

"Every hundred words, five taels of silver, Miss Kou's article is not even the title, and is calculated as 843 characters. Based on 850 words, it is calculated as 42 taels of silver. I also asked Miss Kou to collect it and sign it again!"

Tang Yan took out a small bag of silver, and a book, turned to the first page, and handed it over to the next page.

Kou Baimen was in a mess in his mind, and he took the silver and booklets and signed two beautiful small characters Kou Mei.

"Miss Kou, you are welcome to continue to contribute and say goodbye!"

Tang Yan took back the book, bowed his hand, and turned around and left.

Kou Baimen looked at the money in her hand blankly. Although it was small, this was the first money she earned by not betrayal of sex, but by her own talents. It had the meaning of turning point in life. She could support herself without betrayal of sex!

"Amay, why are you crying?"

Bian Yujing held Kou Baimen's soft pancreas.

"No...it's okay!"

Kou Baimen wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Hmph, isn't it just about forty taels of silver? It's just pretentious!"

I don't know who snorted.

"Yes, Miss Huang, it's great to accompany me on a cruise tonight. I'll give you 100 taels of silver!"

"Oh, Prince Wang, I thank you in advance!"

...

How long can Songshan last? It is a heavy topic, which triggered fierce discussion. Celebrities in Jiangnan wrote articles to reflect on the court’s miserable defeat in the north, and called on Hong Chengchou to rather die than surrender, live as a Ming person and a Ming ghost!

Before we knew it, it was already the second year. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the discussion on the Songjin Battle did not decrease due to the New Year's Eve, but instead triggered the entire southern literary world. Various articles were published in the Ming Dynasty, expressing their opinions and refuting their opponents, which was extremely lively.

In February, the discussions in the south were spread to the north through merchants and messengers from the Grand Canal, and Chongzhen also heard them secretly.

Originally, Chongzhen was worried about the war situation outside the pass, but at this time he was upset and had no control. He could barely read the document for a while, and suddenly he was very humble and walked out of the Qianqing Palace and wandered on the Danbao.

In February, the winter is chilly in Beijing, but the night wind blows on his upper body, giving him a refreshing feeling. Just listening to the sound of the thrust, the thumping of the cloud board is hindering, and the rhythm of life-seeking is hidden, which makes him even more anxious. He turned around and asked, "Chen Xinjia has not entered the palace yet? It has been the second update!"

Wang Chengen happened to come and bowed and said, "Cheer the emperor, Chen Xinjia is waiting for summons in Wenhua Hall."

In the morning, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Chen Xinjia once in the Ganqing Palace and asked about the combat strategies for dealing with the Central Plains and outside the pass. Although Chen Xinjia was quite attentive, the court had been in a dilemma of fighting on both sides for more than ten years. He had insufficient troops, exhausted food and wages, and was not detained. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and were corrupted. He was unable to save the crisis. Therefore, the summoned secretly for a long time in the morning, but there was no result.

Chongzhen was originally impatient. The more he was reluctant, the better he was, the more he was restless and lost his temper at any time. As soon as the dinner was over, there was a news about the Ming Dynasty's essay about how long Songshan could be maintained. Gao Qiqian, the military supervisor at Shanhaiguan, said that Hong Chengchou was surrounded by several months in Songshan, and was out of ammunition and food, and was in danger. It was also reported that once the Qing army captured Songshan, it would once again be blocked and besieged the capital.

In fact, Chongzhen no longer had too much hope for Songshan, but he still did not expect the situation to be so bad. He was overwhelmed all night and was almost desperate about state affairs.

Gao Qiqian once said in a secret memorial: "I heard that the Donglu still has the sincerity to discuss peace. If this matter can be accomplished, it may save the current urgent matter. If the state affairs are like this, only the emperor is willing to make a decision."

To be honest, Chongzhen did not like to use the word peace talks against the Donglu, and only allowed to discuss the pacification or the discussions. However, he also understood in his heart that this was peace talks, so he did not care about Gao Qiqian's words.

In fact, he also believed that the secret peace talks with the Donglu were an emergency and a good solution. He was secretly telling Chen Xinjia to carry out the secretly promptly. Now that he received a secret report from Gao Qiqian, he thought that Qiqian was my slave after all, and was different from a minister in the outer court. He understood my difficulties and was willing to think about my difficulties!

For the Liaodong incident, Chongzhen was anxious and waited for dawn, so he ordered the eunuch to sir Chen Xinjia to wait for the summons in Wenhua Hall.

Chongzhen took the chariot to Wenhua Hall. Chen Xinjia knelt down and took the car. Looking at Chen Xinjia, Chongzhen remembered Yang Sichang and felt sad. He thought to himself that he was the only one who was a sensible person with Xinjia. Then he sat down dejectedly on the imperial throne, feeling exhausted.

Chen Xinjia knelt in front of Chongzhen, performed the regular courtesy, and waited for the conversation.

Chongzhen winked, and the eunuch and palace maid avoided him. After a moment of silence, he said worriedly: "I called you tonight to discuss matters outside the pass. The two thieves of Cao attacked Kaifeng but failed. Because Zuo Liangyu's army was pressing down, he evacuated in despair. Zuo Liangyu was chasing him and Wang Qiaonian also went out of Tongguan to Henan to fight. He also said that the thieves and the thieves met with the thieves. I think there might be internal struggles. The situation in the Central Plains is not serious at the moment. What I am most worried about is the situation outside the pass."

Chen Xinjia bowed and said, "The situation outside the pass is indeed dangerous. Hong Chengchou has been surrounded until now, and there is no food or grass inside and no reinforcements outside. I am afraid that it will not support it for too long. Zu Dashou has long wanted to surrender to the Eastern Captains. However, he is still afraid of the emperor's power and deeds, and he refuses to betray him suddenly. He is still defending Jinzhou. If Songshan is lost, Zu Dashou will surrender. Once Song and Jin are lost, the forts outside the pass may collapse. The enemy's troops are in full swing. They may erode whales, or drive south, or two strategies will be carried out in parallel. If our army is defeated, there is no good strategy to deal with. As the first army, I am the only soldier, and I cannot share your worries for Your Majesty, and my crimes cannot be punished."

Chongzhen asked, "According to your opinion, how long can Songshan be kept?"

"It's hard to say!"

Chen Xinjia sighed: "Hong Chengchou received the kindness of the country in the world. When His Majesty knew about it, he would do his best to work hard to wait for a while to rescue him. Moreover, he had been in the army for a long time and was very scheming. Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen were his old subordinates, and he was willing to work hard. With a weak minister's suspicion, if there was no internal response, Songshan could be guarded for another month or two."

Chongzhen had some hope in his heart and asked repeatedly: "Is there a way to rescue him within one or two months?"

Chen Xinjia felt bitter. Where did the troops, horses, money and food come from the court? But he couldn't bear to attack Chongzhen, so he had to bow his head and speechlessly.
