Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Princess Ningde Zhu Huiyan relied on Tianqi and Chongzhen's favor, and said arrogantly: "I don't care about me. The emperor's wife must help me. When the emperor brother comes, you must help the younger sister more. "

Empress Zhou stroked her forehead with her hand, and said helplessly: "Okay. You don't know what kind of temper your brother is? Look at the heads of people who have been chopped off by him since he ascended the throne. You say you two If you don't live a good life, why don't you join in the fun!?"

While speaking, a burst of laughter was heard first, followed by a series of voices of kneeling and saluting.

After Chongzhen entered the Kunning Palace, he looked at Empress Zhou, then at Princess Ningde, stopped Zhu Huiyan who was about to salute, and said with a smile: "The emperor's sister is always a rare visitor. Why did you come to the emperor's brother today?" Already?" Turning to Wang Cheng'en, he said, "Send someone to the Imperial Dining Room to support and ask them to make two more dishes that the imperial sister likes to eat at noon."

But Zhu Weiyan said: "Brother Huang, my sister has something to ask Brother Huang to come, you must help me."

Chongzhen smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you say it. If the emperor can do it, he will never refuse."

Zhu Huiyan said: "Brother Huang, the son-in-law wanted to join the new army, but was stopped by someone. I beg Brother Huang to make the decision and take him in."

When Chongzhen heard that it was about the new army, his expression sank immediately, and he shouted: "Nonsense!"

Chongzhen, who traveled over here, became more and more majestic, and hadn't seen Princess Ningde and others for a long time. Dang was so scared that Princess Ningde knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Brother emperor, calm down, sister knows I was wrong."

How can Chongzhen, who has always regarded the new army as the best of his heart, tolerate someone's idea of ​​attacking the new army?But she didn't let Princess Ningde get up, and just asked with a sullen face: "The matter of the new army, not to mention you, even your emperor's wife never allowed her to ask more questions, how dare you come here to intercede for Fu Ma? Say, What does the son-in-law want to do?"

Zhu Huiyan knelt down and sobbed: "Brother Hui, the son-in-law just wants to enter the army and serve the country. It's my sister who deserves to die. I want to let him enter the new army. First, I can make some contributions. It is safer than the frontier army."

After Chongzhen heard it, he sneered and said, "Okay, you are thinking about the safety of your son-in-law, but the relationship between husband and wife is deep. But, you seem to have forgotten that you are the daughter of the Tian family, right? You are thinking about the safety of your own family." Who cares about Daming's safety? Who is going to worry about the safety of other soldiers?!"

Chongzhen, who was originally happy that Zhu Huiyan came to the palace to visit him, was extremely disappointed at the moment.Sure enough, the girl is extroverted. After getting married, she thinks about her husband's family completely, but she even forgets her identity as the daughter of her heavenly family.

Seeing that Chongzhen was angry, Empress Zhou hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to help Zhu Huiyan, and said to Chongzhen: "Why is your majesty so angry? Even if the new army can't do it, isn't it the same to let the son-in-law go to the capital camp?

After all, we are all one family, Your Majesty should take a break from the thunderous anger and listen to the imperial sister to finish what she has to say? "

Chongzhen snorted coldly, and said: "Let her tell. Tell me clearly, whether you came to intercede to let the son-in-law join the new army, or the son-in-law urged you to intercede, and I will send Jin Yiwei to verify. If there is A lie, I can't forgive you!"

Zhu Huiyan, who was frightened by Chongzhen, no longer dared to act coquettishly and shamelessly as she did to Queen Zhou just now, but sobbed: "Brother Hui, since the son-in-law went to the Martyr's Temple last time, he has been thinking about joining the army." Well, even the errands at the Qianhu Station in the south of the city are not as caring as before.

The son-in-law had already been there when the new army was recruited, but because he was a son-in-law and a thousand households in the south of the city, no one dared to accept him in, even the other capital camps and frontier troops, and no one was willing. Take him in.

After returning, the son-in-law was so unhappy that he hadn't smiled for several days.That's why the younger sister wanted to go to the palace to find the emperor's sister-in-law to ask for a kindness, so that the emperor's sister-in-law could help the younger sister with a few good words, and begged the emperor's brother to allow the son-in-law to enter the army.

It's just that the younger sister is worried about the safety of the son-in-law, so she wants to let the son-in-law join the new army.The younger sister was confused for a moment, and begged the emperor's brother to forgive her. "

Although what he said was a bit confusing, Chongzhen still understood it.Just thinking about his younger sister, some of the ministers of his family are Liu Youfu's son-in-law, Chongzhen has a feeling that his family's cabbage is being pushed by the pigs outside, and he still has the feeling that he is devoted to the pigs.

Chongzhen said unhappily: "My son-in-law wants to join the army, I am very relieved. But don't think about this new army. Let him go to the Beijing camp. When I go out in the future, I will take him with me. At least let him make some contributions That is.

There is just one thing, once a son-in-law enters the army, he has to abide by the military laws of the army, but the identity of this son-in-law is useless, and one day he will be on the battlefield, and he can only ask for blessings. "

Frightened, Zhu Weiyan didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so she could only thank her and said: "Thank you, Brother Huang. My sister knows I was wrong."

Only then did Chongzhen's complexion improve a bit.Zhu Huiyan was left behind after eating before ordering someone to send her out of the palace.

After returning to the consort's mansion, Zhu Huiyan breathed a sigh of relief.The emperor's brother has changed too much. He is no longer the emperor who doted on him infinitely before he ascended the throne, but has become a stranger and is incomparably majestic.

Princess Ningde's son-in-law, Liu Youfu, saw Zhu Huiyan come back with red eyes, and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness? But who made you unhappy?"

Zhu Huiyan said: "Yes, my brother scolded me, you go to him to vent your anger on me."

Liu Youfu, who was about to say that he wanted to vent his anger on Princess Ningde, was choked in his throat.Who dares to trouble Chongzhen when his head is squeezed by the door?

At the moment, he had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't be sad anymore. Your Majesty just reprimanded me a few times, and there is nothing wrong with you, right?"

Zhu Huiyan snorted, "It's not for you.

Seeing that my husband has always wanted to join the army, I had no choice but to go to the palace to find the emperor's wife. I want the emperor's wife to speak a few words of kindness in front of the emperor's brother for me, so that I can fulfill your wish.It's just that I never wanted to be reprimanded by the emperor.

Fortunately, Brother Huang still loves me, and now I have promised to let you enter the Beijing camp to practice, and when Brother Huang goes out to fight, I will let you join the army, so that I can get some credit. "

Liu Youfu was overjoyed when he heard the words, bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Only then did Zhu Huiyan happily say: "Look at how stupid you are. But you have to remember it. When you are in the army, remember to follow Brother Huang closely at all times. This is the safest way. You must pay attention to protecting yourself. "

Zhu Huiyan and Liu Youfu don't care about how affectionate their husband and wife are, but Chongzhen, who was so angry with Zhu Huiyan, didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, so he simply took people out of the city and went straight to the Royal Academy. go.

Chapter 92 Line up to be shot

Even after the new year is over, the capital city still belongs to the kind of cold winter weather that can freeze dogs to death, not to mention that the breath is almost frozen.

But Emperor Chongzhen's heart was not cold at all.The Royal Academy can be said to be the most important of its two line layouts.

The factory guards and the new army use force to ensure their own safety, while the Royal Academy is used to sound the death knell for the current Confucianism.

Galloping all the way, the evil consequences of the siege of the slaves can still be seen at this time.From time to time on the road, you can see demolished villages, and from time to time you can see the people and the soldiers of the Beijing camp who are cleaning up the ruins in the severe cold.

Before the demolition and burning of villages outside the capital, Chongzhen had said that he would use internal funds to help the people rebuild their family members, and all the losses caused would be made up for by the royal funds, so the people were full of hope and prepared to wait. After the beginning of spring, it is good to rebuild the homeland. After all, the emperor at this time is a sacred existence in the eyes of the people who has the constitution of heaven in his mouth and follows the law.

It was not until the afternoon that Chongzhen and his party arrived at Huangzhuang in the south of Jing.

The entire Huangzhuang in the south of Jing originally occupies a huge area, comparable to the size of some small towns, enough to ensure that enough people and departments can be placed in Huangzhuang.

It's just that at this time, Huangzhuang in Southern Jing can no longer be called Huangzhuang, and it is not appropriate to call it the Royal Academy.

The entire Huangzhuang has been surrounded by cement walls, and uncharacteristically, it is not a traditional square wall, but a rare pentagonal bastion structure.

The ten city walls tightly protected the five city gates. When any city gate faced an attack, it would be attacked by the city walls on both sides at the same time.On each section of the city wall, there are quite a few artillery pieces.

As for the lineup in charge of guarding, it is even more scary. Jinyiwei patrols with the East Factory, West Factory, and Inner Factory to ensure that there is no dead corner. The protection level of a small Huangzhuang can even be comparable to that of the imperial palace.

The emperor is everywhere, the guns are unloaded, and the bows and crossbows are unloaded, but they are custom-made.Emperor Chongzhen, who was riding on a horse, saw Wang Chengen's identity checked four times by the factory guards. After confirming that he was correct, the entire Royal Academy lifted its guard and opened the main gate to welcome the emperor in.

In the entire Royal Academy, craftsmen are still busy everywhere. Even if the weather is cold and the normal construction is not possible, these craftsmen will still work for a while every day when it is warm at noon, and then cover the place after construction with straw felt in the afternoon, so It did not delay the overall progress of the Royal Academy.

In a workshop of the Royal Academy, Chongzhen smiled and said to Xu Guangqi, holding a musket with a slender barrel in his hand: "Xu Aiqing, you have done a good job. In less than a month, this gun has been made. It is not bad." ,good."

But Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, if I were to do this myself, I might not be able to make it, but thanks to Mr. Dongjiao's help, I made it."

Chongzhen asked curiously, "Mr. Dongjiao?"

Xu Guangqi said: "It is Mr. Dongjiao. Mr. Dongjiao's real name is Bi Maokang, his style name is Menghou, and his nickname is Dongjiao. He was originally a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli, and he was an official in Shandong to inspect the salt censor. Now he is white. The minister has an old relationship with him, so I begged him to help, and then I made this firecracker."

When Chongzhen heard that his name was Bi Maokang, he thought about it carefully.It turned out that he was not as impressed with Grandpa Bi. In his mind, Bi Maokang only knew such a name, and knew that he was a good player with firearms, and nothing else.

Since the impression was not deep in his mind, he probably didn't know which corner of the salted fish, Chongzhen didn't think too much, and simply smiled: "What's so good about being an official? Be an academician of the Royal Academy with peace of mind. Wouldn't it be great to have reached the first level? Since Mr. Dongjiao has contributed a lot, he must be rewarded. If how to improve the reward, Xu Aiqing will write a book for me later. In addition, if the musket is done well, why should I seal it? Lord?"

After Xu Guangqi bowed to answer, Chongzhen said again: "Is this gun usable now? Maybe arrange someone to test it?"

Xu Guangqi heard the words and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, you can arrange a trial shooting."

When Chongzhen heard the words, he smiled and said: "Quickly, arrange someone to try it, I want to see how this gun is."

After a lot of tossing, the range test was finally ready.All the staff are the eunuchs from the inner factory who followed Chongzhen from the palace. These people can be said to be the most trusted staff of Chongzhen, who can ensure that no matter what the situation, they will not point their guns at Chongzhen.
