“It’s so cold.”

In the Chenyang Palace, Xiaozhuang repeatedly rubbed his palms, staring at the brazier not far away with frown.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

After all, she was the bedsider of Emperor Taizong back then, and Chen Yang also stayed there a lot.

Why did I have been in the inner palace for more than ten years and can’t adapt to it when I come back?

Or is she too old to bear the cold?

Although it was not snowing, the cold wind kept pouring into the hall, making people feel a piercing cold.

"Come on, add some charcoal to the brazier to make the fire more prosperous."

To be honest, when I just returned to Chenyang, Xiaozhuang really couldn't adapt to anything.

Compared with the majestic Forbidden City in the capital, the Forbidden City in Shenyang is like a miniature version.

In addition, no one has lived in it for a long time, and the hall is already in ruins. Even after cleaning and repairing, it still makes people feel very disgusting.

But what can I do? Is it possible to survive even if the Forbidden City in Chenyang is not bad?

If you want to blame it, you can only blame the Eight Banners Army for being unsuccessful. If it had half the combat power of Emperor Taizong, it would not have been driven out of the Ming army.

After leaving the customs, Xiaozhuang was filled with emotion and began to rectify the military preparations as soon as possible.

The Eight Banners Army was the focus of her rectification. In her opinion, it would be fine if the Green Camp soldiers were not bad. After all, the Green Camp soldiers were used as cannon fodder.

But the Eight Banners Army must be able to stand up. The Eight Banners Army is the absolute elite of the Qing army, and it is a killer weapon.

If the Eight Banners Army cannot hold it up, who else can hope to defeat the Ming army?

When Xiaozhuang was in the pass, he could comfort himself and have a way out of the pass.

Now this retreat is gone. If the Ming army really fights, they have no other choice but to fight to the death.

Could it be that I will run all the way to Ningguta?

There is a saying among the Han people that is good, it is a blessing to lose one's wife.

Xiaozhuang hopes that this time, the Eight Banners children can awaken them and let them know their shame before they can be brave.

Although the current situation is not good for the Qing Dynasty, it is so good that it is not known where it is compared to the Taizu Taizong period more than ten years ago.

If the Qing army still cannot defeat the Ming army and cannot defend Liaodong under this situation, it would be a bit unreasonable.

There are actually many types of Liaodong Jurchens, and Jianzhou Jurchens are only a small part.

Xiaozhuang means to absorb all the other Jurchens to enrich the combat effectiveness of the army.

The number of soldiers is not the number but the essence. At present, it is unrealistic for the Qing Dynasty to compete with the Ming army, and it can only work hard on combat effectiveness.

As long as the combat effectiveness of the Qing army can be improved, it will be worth facing the head-on battle with the Ming army in the future.

The weather is getting colder, at least until the beginning of the next year, the Ming army will not have the idea of ​​being a barrier and attack.

This is an excellent buffering time for Xiaozhuang.

If you can seize the opportunity to train hard, the strength of the Eight Banners Army will be transformed by the beginning of spring next year.

Now that Emperor Kangxi is young, Xiaozhuang must carry the burden on the emperor.

At present, the Qing Dynasty is not in line with the past. As long as we can overcome this hurdle, we will definitely have a chance to make a comeback.

If necessary, Xiaozhuang even wanted to borrow soldiers from his parents' home.

I just don’t know if my family will remember her married daughter after having sex for so many years.

...

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty held a banquet in the Forbidden City to reward a group of meritorious generals and ministers. This was a great joy.

On the day of the banquet, all the invited ministers and generals had already burned incense and bathed in advance, changed into brand new clothes and then happily entered the palace.

The banquet is set up in the Imperial Garden, that is, the harem.

This means that the ministers must go to the harem.

This was something that I never dared to think about in the past. After all, the harem was an area where the emperor and his concubines gathered.

Although today, there are only one concubines in the last two concubines, this is a taboo after all.

But the emperor personally gave the banquet, so they had nothing to fear.

But it is said that the general who attended the most banquets this day was the Kuidong Army.

Leading by Li Laiheng, a dozen people entered the palace city in a mighty manner. Although they had already removed their weapons, they still had a lot of murderous aura.

They were led by the eunuchs in the palace and walked forward quickly.

I don’t know how long I walked, but finally arrived at the Imperial Garden.

The moment he entered the Imperial Garden, Li Laiheng and others were shocked.

I saw the lights and decorations in the imperial garden. Although it was not yet completely dark, I could already feel the atmosphere.

The palace people were busy traveling around and arranged the final matters.

It is obvious that Li Laiheng and the others have come too early.

"Hang this lantern on the tree and scratched the lantern with a little light."

"How can you be clumsy? What should you do if your Majesty sees it?"

"Pull the silk a little further, how wrinkled it looks like."

For the dinner, Han Miao, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, came to supervise it personally.

"Eunuch Han, why are you here in person?"

Li Laiheng stepped forward and said with a laugh.

He and Han Miao are considered to be in a relationship, and it seems that it is not surprising here.

"Oh, it turns out to be Duke Lin. Why are you here now? It's still half an hour?"

When Han Miao saw Li Laiheng and his group, he hurriedly came to meet him.

Not to mention that generals like Li Laiheng used to be covered with armor on their bodies, but now they are wearing silk clothes that look like a rich young man, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Haha, we're here too early. Eunuch Han, don't be surprised."

"Where, where. Our family is just talking casually."

Han Miao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a harmonious voice: "Since you have arrived, please come to the banquet. The seats for this dinner are arranged in this way. His Majesty the Emperor sat on the upper head on the platform he set up. On the left side is King Zhong and on the right side is King Jin. On the side of the Duke of Lin, your seats are ranked under King Zhong and King Jin."

Li Laiheng listened very seriously. To be honest, there is no problem with ranking in this way. He strictly follows everyone's title status and will not be able to surpass them.

As for the specific position, of course, whatever Han Miao said would be.

It was originally a happy event, and there was no need to hurt my brotherly relationship in order to fight for a seat.

Under Han Miao's leadership, Li Laiheng and others took their seats one after another.

Li Laiheng's location is very good, just in front of a rockery.

Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun were in front of the same flower bush.

As for Hao Yaoqi's position, it was a lot worse, and he was almost lined up outside the Imperial Garden.

This is probably because his title among the Thirteen Kuidong families is relatively low, so his good position is naturally unparalleled.

However, the generals of Kuidong were in a good mood, and they were talking and laughing.

"Your Highness King Jin is here!"

The crowd was chatting by themselves when suddenly a chanting sound came.

It turned out that King Li Dingguo of Jin arrived.

Li Laiheng and others stood up to greet each other.

No matter what, Li Dingguo's title is far above them, so the etiquette that should be had must be missing.
