Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 350 Chapter 350, Emperor Chongzhen is in a good mood, Wang Chengen has doubts
Beijing City, Daming Palace.

In the imperial study room, a cabinet meeting was coming to an end.

The theme of this meeting is mainly the spring plowing in full swing in Daming.

For agricultural societies, spring is undoubtedly the most important season of the year.

As long as farmers can plant their crops in the ground, they have hope of living for the next year.

With hope, they will stay in the fields honestly, work day after day, and contribute their strength to Daming without complaint.

If there is no hope, then 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 and man-made disasters, so there was no such condition at all.

It is different now, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been calmed down, and the war between Ming and Qing will not spread to the territory, it is an excellent time.

Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Give me an order. This time, all the local officials and three envoys of Chungeng must be arrested as the top priority. If anyone fails the assessment, I will directly remove his post and kill his head!"

Chongzhen also made up his mind, he didn't want to see another Li Zicheng come outside Beijing.

Hearing Chongzhen's order, several elders and eunuchs naturally agreed.

After dealing with all this, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Lang'er, is there any new news recently?"

It was Fan Jingwen who answered this question: "The Ministry of War has not received the latest battle report for the past two days."

Chongzhen frowned immediately when he heard the words.

In the last battle report two days ago, Zhu Cihong told Chongzhen that he had discovered the traces of the main force of the Mongolian army, and was about to find an opportunity to start a decisive battle with the main force of the Tatar and Mongolian forces.

Then there is no more text, until now.

This feeling is like reading a serial novel and seeing the climax, but the author suddenly said that he would update it tomorrow...

Li Banghua said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, His Royal Highness is the most outstanding commander of our Daming, and with him in charge, nothing will happen."

Chongzhen sighed and said: "I hope so, all the ministers are gone."

Seeing the crowd disperse, Chongzhen suddenly lost the mood to continue handling government affairs.

He sat silent for a moment, then stood up: "Go, go to the Queen's side."

When Chongzhen saw Empress Zhou, he was a little surprised to find that the Crown Princess Luo Yunyao was there.

"I've seen my father." Luo Yunyao saluted Chongzhen.

Chongzhen nodded slightly, showing a smile: "Let's be flat, are you here today to pay your respects to your mother?"

Empress Zhou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is lonely, so I asked Yaoer to talk."

Chongzhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and soon understood what Queen Zhou meant.

Queen Zhou should be missing her son.

Sure enough, the next moment Queen Zhou asked, "Your Majesty, is there any new news from Lang'er?"

When Luo Yunyao heard the words, she also looked at Chongzhen expectantly.

Chongzhen replied with some embarrassment: "There is no new news for the time being. If there is any news, I will let someone tell you two immediately."

For some reason, Chongzhen suddenly regretted his decision to come to Queen Zhou.

At this moment, Wang Chengen walked quickly into the hall with a happy expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, the good news just sent back from the north, His Highness has already achieved a great victory in the grassland!"

As soon as Wang Chengen uttered these words, the three people present were excited at the same time.

Chongzhen repeatedly said: "Quickly, show it to me!"

Soon, the victory report written by Zhu Cihong was opened by Chongzhen and read carefully.

I saw that it said:

"The son-in-law Zhu Cihong played the emperor's father:

After traveling for half a month, Erchen encountered Tatar Mongolian Chahar, Horqin and other small and medium-sized tribes allied forces somewhere in the Monan grassland, with a force of about [-] cavalry.

Fortunately, thanks to the dedication of our soldiers and soldiers, we were able to defeat the enemy army and wiped out more than [-] enemies. Chahar Khan Abu Nai led the rest of his troops to surrender, and Horqin's bandit chief Badali led his troops to abscond.

The ministers will continue to lead the army to pursue the troops of the Badalites, in order to achieve a one-shot victory and completely eliminate the border troubles of the Tatars and Mongols against the Ming Dynasty. Please feel at ease.

In addition, please tell the father to the Shanhaiguan British Office immediately, as the minister and the British official have agreed in advance, still do not make any changes. "

The content is less than two hundred words, but Chongzhen has read it several times.

Empress Zhou couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Only then did Chongzhen come back to his senses and smiled: "Queen, Lang'er has won, and it's a big victory!"

Empress Zhou and Luo Yunyao let go of their hearts at the same time, and both smiled.

Empress Zhou couldn't help complaining: "Your Majesty, if it's a good thing, you should hurry up and say it, and stare blankly for a long time, scaring the concubine."

Chongzhen smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Actually, I was shocked by Lang'er's record, so I read it carefully several times."

This is really not bragging. The generals of the Ming Dynasty have always liked to lie about their military achievements and even kill their meritorious deeds. Chongzhen has also been tricked many times.

If it hadn't been reminded by Queen Zhou, Chongzhen wouldn't have even realized that his own son, the majestic Prince of Ming Dynasty, was leading the army this time, so there was no need to exaggerate his achievements at all!

Empress Zhou was also a little proud when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lang'er's abilities are real, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Chongzhen let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "Yes, sometimes I feel strange, obviously I don't have any military ability, how did I raise a son who can fight like Lang'er?"

Empress Zhou took Chongzhen's hand and said with a smile: "Who said your majesty can't fight? You have the blood of Taizu and Chengzu in your body. If one day you go to conquer yourself, no enemy can be your opponent! "

Chongzhen's mood suddenly became more comfortable, and he burst into laughter.

"Wang Chengen, didn't you tell me to send a message to the British Duke? Hurry up."

Wang Chengen responded, with a smile on his face, and left briskly.

However, when the chief eunuch, chief inspector of ceremonies, left Chongzhen's sight, the expression on Wang Chengen's face changed a little.

"The agreement between His Royal Highness and the Duke of England, and His Majesty's tone of voice just now... Is there something His Majesty should know, but doesn't know?"

Wang Chengen narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

For others, there seems to be no difference between allegiance to Chongzhen and allegiance to Ming Dynasty.

But for Wang Chengen, his allegiance has always been to this master named Zhu Youjian, whether he is King Xin or the current Emperor Chongzhen!
