Chapter 9 The New Year (One)

Her hand gently stroked the sable fur that Huang Taiji paid tribute, and under her head, her tender thighs were pillowing. Zhu Yinglong closed her eyes comfortably, allowing her to gently trick her long fluttering hair that she had no choice but to accumulate.

On the side, Lan Rong used her slender hand like mutton fat and white jade to slowly pull the charcoal burning in the charcoal plate with an iron wire, in order to make the fire more prosperous and the hall warmer.

However, what Zhu Yinglong could never understand was that Lan Rong was a woman, but she was a beautiful and charming woman. How could her almost flawless jade hands pull such a heavy bow?

Perhaps only one Lan Rong can be found among millions of women, and he happened to meet her. This explanation should be the most understandable one.

After the ceremony of enthroning the empress, Concubine Ning Zhou Yingning officially took office as the empress, and moved from the former Xuqin Palace to the Kunning Palace where the empress lives, becoming the empress who was the mother of the world, and accepting worship from all officials. At the same time, the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Cihuang was enthroned as the crown prince, the crown prince of the country, and other princes and princesses were rewarded.

Zhu Yinglong did not want to be crowned the crown prince now, but for the sake of stability, Zhou Yingning's status in the harem, the tranquility of the harem, and even to prevent problems before it happened, he had no choice but to push a baby who was still in his infancy and was hungry to a supreme position.

The storm of severe crackdown began to blow from the capital, but under the rule of Shi Kefa, there were few villains. After Zhu Yinglong killed Li Yongzuo, the nobles in the family warned their younger generations to pay attention to restraining their behavior. Therefore, the crackdown did not have much impact on the lives of the people in the capital. Instead, when the storm blew into Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and other places, a storm blew in the plains.

First of all, they are bullies who are suffering from the disaster. They think this is just a new emperor ascends the throne, and the new official takes office and makes three fuss, let alone the emperor? Therefore, the evil will be done, the women will rob and sleep. Anyway, the whole family is connected together. The officials can bully the kind people. They want to attack them, but they don’t have the courage. When the news passes, the nephew will still call the lantern, as usual.

But what they did not expect was that the court was serious this time. Anyone who was not cracking down on the magistrates ineffectively will be punished strictly. Those who were lightly dismissed from office, those who were serious colluded with local governments to embezzle and exploit the people. Those who had evidence should be investigated and the Ministry of Justice approved the document and immediately executed them, and arrested them on the spot. Those who colluded with officials and bandits should consider the seriousness of the circumstances, those who were lightly labored, and those who were serious were beheaded. For a time, those who were stubborn and restless were invited to prisons one after another, and those who resisted were even sentenced to heavy sentences.

The crackdown has spread across the country, and the people are proud of their superiors. Those who bully them all year round have received retribution. Those who behead them and those who go to jail are also in prison. Many corrupt and mediocre officials have also been dismissed due to this crackdown, and the impact has been far-reaching. Until many years later, officials who were promoted in this crackdown have been sighing when they mention this past. Without this crackdown, there is no future for them, such as the upright officials, there is no strong and healthy court, nor a Ming Empire that shocks the world.

At the same time, Zhu Yinglong is also very clear that this "critical crackdown" movement cannot last long. If it lasts for a long time, it will seriously damage the country's vitality. Because this movement is good at the beginning and is normal. Once it takes too long, it will have a huge negative impact and will be used by some people with dissent intentions, thus creating new local evil forces. Therefore, it needs to be stopped in moderation to avoid being too wide. Governing the country also requires both hardness and softness. If it is too hard, it is easy to break, too soft, and it cannot cure the situation. At the same time, it also needs to be relaxed and relaxed. This is the way for civil and military.

Yan Peiwei is Wu Sangui's deputy. From Liaodong to Tongzhou Military Academy, to the current first special combat unit of the Ming Dynasty, he exists as Wu Sangui's best partner, especially when he is older than Wu Sangui, he is willing to be his deputy, which is rare in the army.

Wu Sangui also respects him, a big brother-like deputy. Yan Peiwei does not have the calmness and restraint of his. The two complement each other and are almost born partners.

On this day, it was snowing outside and routine training was difficult to carry out, so Yan Peiwei was planning to call a few brothers to drink and chat in his house. He had no family, and the military camp was his home.

The wine was in full swing, and the tightly sealed door was pushed open. Everyone was shocked to look at the door, and blood was pouring on their faces.

"Prepare, there is action!" The visitor didn't say much, but just left a cold word, and didn't even bring the hole-opened door, allowing the biting cold wind to wake up everyone in the room.

Yan Peiwei was a little puzzled. It was so cold that it was snowing outside so hard, so there was no action. However, the military orders were like mountains. Although he was the largest in the military camp except Wu Sangui, he had to obey the orders and immediately stood up and shouted: "Didn't you hear the order? You won't go back and prepare, one stick of incense!"

In an instant, the people in the room ran out in all directions, leaving only Yan Peiwei.

Yan Peiwei dressed quickly, put on his marching backpack, and quickly ran towards the meeting place.

Wu Sangui has been standing in the snow for a long time, but his face was covered with fur. In addition, the heavy snow outside has not stopped, and snowflakes have been falling on his body, and a thick layer has fallen on his shoulders and head. If it weren't for the shaking of his eyelashes from time to time, it would have been a long time before his cold eyes would have been covered.

"Are you all here?" The messenger shouted just now, and saw a thin layer of snow on his body falling down.

"The report is all here!" A crisp and loud answer.

"Set out!" Wu Sangui shook his body, and the snow fell down, and said.

"Captain, what mission?" a brave soldier asked loudly.

"You will know then!" Wu Sangui's unpredictable voice came, and the people had already walked ten feet towards the camp gate.

After hearing this, Yan Peiwei felt a slump. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask secretly, but looking at this way, he would not know anything in advance unless he arrived at the destination.

Wu Sangui himself was also confused. The task given by the emperor was not very difficult, it was just kidnapped a woman. However, it was not in the Ming Dynasty, but in the Later Jin Dynasty. He did not tell him who the woman was and what identity he was. He just gave him a roadmap and a contact code in an emergency. He himself did not know the rest. This was the first time he had received such an inexplicable task since the establishment of the Special Wars Brigade. Could it be that the emperor was testing his loyalty?
