I really hope that the Tartars and border troubles can be solved in one fell swoop!It's just that governing the country is like a small dish, and the same should be done with the enemy, slowly...

Empress Dowager Yang sighed, and winked at Wang Tiqian who was standing beside her.Wang Tiqian understood, pinched his throat and shouted in a shrill voice.

"Report if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do."

None of the civil and military ministers present said a word, so the court broke up early, and Empress Dowager Yang also led the little emperor Zhu Cilin to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

Because of the influence of the Little Ice Age, even in the summer, in the densely clustered Yuhuayuanzi, I still don’t feel the scorching heat. Even though the sun is shining high in the sky, it is cool with the breeze.

"It seems that this winter is coming earlier than in previous years." Empress Dowager Yang sighed, but she took Zhu Cilin's little hand and went to the pavilion on the eaves of Biwa, leaning on the railing, admiring the open or half-open lake blooming lotus.

"Why did my mother say that winter will come earlier this year? Is it because the summer is not hot?" Zhu Cilin leaned on the railing with her hands on her chin, tilted her head, and her eyes showed a trace of innocence. "That's right, it's midsummer, but it still doesn't feel stuffy. The supervisor of Qin Tianjian also said that this year's winter is expected to be full of snow."

He opened his mouth slowly, his little face wrinkled, obviously troubled by it.he went on. "But I'm thinking, it's not easy for us here, I'm afraid it's even worse for the Tartars. Thinking about it this way, I'm a little happy."

This is saying...

In fact, your mother is also a little happy to kiss me!

Empress Dowager Yang smiled and nodded Zhu Cilin's forehead, but said. "Since Qin Tianjian has said something, let's make preparations early. Don't rush to take countermeasures when it really snows like a snowstorm or a snow disaster. It would not be beautiful to make remedies."

Zhu Cilin nodded: "I understand."

Not long after the mother and son stayed in the gazebo, Zhu Shunan appeared in a majestic manner with the princess' money, leading the mother-in-law and maidservants.

"The sons and ministers see the queen mother, and see your majesty."

"Third sister is very polite." Zhu Cilin muttered, but asked. "Third sister didn't lead the two Tartar princesses to learn the rules, why did she come here when she has time?"

"Why can't I come here!" Zhu Shunan stared and said angrily. "Makata and Rita are still struggling to speak Chinese, the most urgent thing is to learn Chinese well, and there is no rush for the rules."

"I'm not in a hurry!" Zhu Cilin, who was arguing with Zhu Shumei, rolled her eyes familiarly, and said in a strange voice: "I'm not afraid that you will bring my two future Jieyu into a little stammer. ?"

"Queen, look at brother!" Zhu Shunan's eyes were red with anger, she glared at Zhu Cilin angrily, and almost rushed forward to bite someone.

Looking at the lawsuit in front of her, Empress Dowager Yang only felt a pain in her forehead.This kid Zhu Cilin, if he doesn't speak ill of his sister for a day, he will feel uncomfortable, right?When Zhu Shuyu was still in the palace, she could barely share the firepower, but ever since Zhu Shuyu went to Hangzhou to play with the Empress Dowager Ci'an, Zhu Cilin had her eyes on Zhu Shuyu, looking for an opportunity whenever she could.

Zhu Cixiu, the articulate little bastard, had nothing to say, only a single word.As for Zhu Shuying, she was obviously jumping her feet in anger at Zhu Cilin, a little bastard, but she still ran towards Zhu Cilin, forgetting to eat but not beating. Hey, let alone, after Zhu Cilin's "venomous tongue training", Zhu Shuying didn't stutter like before.Well, except in front of Qi Sichang.

"Come on, you two stop arguing." Empress Dowager Yang took a deep breath, interrupted the confrontation between the siblings, and cursed with a not-so-good tone. "Aren't you afraid that others will read the joke?"

"Who dares to make fun of me and Daming's eldest princess?" Zhu Cilin, the child, is most protective.Even if he often fights with Zhu Shuxie and Zhu Shuxie, if outsiders insult his two sisters, Zhu Cilin will be the first to refuse.

Empress Dowager Yang also knew Zhu Cilin's character, so she just laughed and cursed a few words, and shed light on the lawsuit caused by her poisonous tongue.The three mothers sat in the gazebo lovingly and filially for a while, and then returned to Qianqing Palace together when it was time for dinner.

Because the ancients paid attention to different seats for men and women at the age of seven, even according to the Ming system, daughters live with their mothers, but it would be inconvenient to live together in the same hall with a younger brother who became emperor after one year old, so at the beginning of the year Later, Zhu Shuxi and Zhu Shuyi moved back to Yikun Palace, the original hidden residence of Empress Dowager Yang.

But even though they moved to Yikun Palace, they still eat together in Qianqing Palace on weekdays, and Zhu Shuxie and Zhu Shuxie are also used to this. After all, Qiu Qu, who is beside Empress Dowager Yang, is the most familiar with their tastes. , Every time they eat, there will always be one or two favorite dishes, and today is no exception.

After eating, Zhu Shuying talked with Empress Dowager Yang in the side hall of Qianqing Palace for a while, and when the moon hung on the willows, she brought a group of women and maids back to Yikun Palace. Because of getting up too early and going to court early, I went to the east side hall of Qianqing Palace early and went to bed.

Under the flickering candlelight, Empress Dowager Yang, wearing a plain tulle palace dress, leaned lazily on a soft bed covered with a bamboo mat, with her eyes slightly closed, apparently in deep thought.

After a while, the cool night wind suddenly blew in through the half-opened window.Empress Dowager Yang, who was leaning on the soft bed, shuddered and opened her eyes suddenly.

In 1632 AD, which is the fifth year of Taichang today, many things were different from what should have happened in history.First of all, the Yellow River still broke through Mengjin, but it did not appear because of the timely response. Historically, military and civilian merchants who appeared when Chongzhen was in power were killed and injured.The people migrated, begging for food everywhere, with nowhere to go, it was a scene of gathering and rebelling.

Then, Mao Wenlong died drunk and was not killed by Yuan Chonghuan, but his subordinate Kong Youde still rebelled, but because she insisted on destroying the rebels, Kong Youde and his trilogy who fled to the Yalu River to join the Houjin Tartars had long been lurking there. The Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers were ambushed and killed.

When Kong Youde died, I have to say that Empress Dowager Yang breathed a sigh of relief.When looking at the history of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, who the Empress Dowager objected to was undoubtedly the so-called vassal princes who took refuge in the Qing court.And if one finds out one person who hates the most, it is undoubtedly Kong Youde!Because in the eyes of Empress Dowager Yang, he is the out-and-out No. [-] traitor!

In history, he took Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi's high-quality firearms hired by the Portuguese to defect to the Tartars. Since then, the Tartars have excellent firearms. How could a Tartar with the power of the city have the ability to challenge Daming head-on.

Before Kong Youde surrendered to the Tartars, the Tartars also used the traitor Li Yongfang to imitate a batch of artillery, but the quality was not very good. They were shoddy artillery.

Later, Kong Youde defected to the Tartars, and his harm was far greater than that of Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.At that time, even if Wu Sangui did not open the Shanhaiguan Pass, the Tianyou Army with Kong Youde was cut off by Li Zicheng, and Wu Sangui, who had no food supply, would not be able to stop the Tartars sooner or later, so Wu Sangui's harm is actually not that great, and Wu Sangui is also There was no massacre.The reason why he organized the city massacre is because the Tartars poured all the dirty water on him after he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty.

It was because of Kong Youde that later the Tartars bombarded Yangzhou and Jiading with cannons, so there were ten days in Yangzhou and three massacres in Jiading.Kong Youde's Tianyou Army is a greater threat to the Han people than Wu Sangui's army!Similarly, it is gratifying to have another big traitor who massacred Guangzhou, and he was also a member of Kong Youde!

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly realized a problem.Kong Youde rebelled, so Shang Kexi, who belonged to the same breed as Kong Youde, would also have a rebellion, and began secretly planning to rebel against the court!

Empress Dowager Yang closed her eyes and thought about it again. She recalled that Shang Ke liked to defeat Dongjiang General Huanglong in the sixth year, defend Kagoshima, and then led his troops to Houjin on the second day of the seventh year...

Recalling this incident, Empress Dowager Yang couldn't sit still.

The reason why she didn't choose to attack Kong Youde first was because Mao Wenlong was there, and Kong Youde was obedient and didn't show any intention of rebellion, so Empress Dowager Yang didn't choose to strike first.It's just that Empress Dowager Yang never expected that in this time and space, Mao Wenlong, who was arrogant and domineering but still loyal, did not die at the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, but died of drunkenness. Dissatisfied, rebellious...

This negligence directly led to Kong Youde's rebellion. Although Kong Youde was finally killed in an ambush on the Yalu River, Empress Dowager Yang still felt a little depressed, and she should have acted first if she knew it earlier.

So should we act first, it is gratifying to kill him!

Empress Dowager Yang, who vaguely felt that the Tartars must be involved, shivered suddenly.He had a premonition that the reason why the Tatars would participate in it was probably because they had planned it long ago.

Empress Dowager Yang, who could no longer sit still, changed her thin palace attire that could be used as a nightgown, and changed into a sky blue Confucian skirt with dark patterns of the same color, and summoned Yuan Houshan, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, overnight.

"I heard that among Jinyiwei there are experts who are proficient in skinning and killing people."

Yuan Houshan's expression was as usual, and he described the crafts that the Jinyiwei staff were good at as if he was talking about ordinary things, and at the end he asked Queen Mother Yang what he planned to do.

Empress Dowager Yang was picking at her fingernails, with a hint of sternness and firmness in her beautiful eyes: "Shang Kexi, the general of Lushun, had a close relationship with Kong Youde, and Ai Jia suspected that this person would also rebel and invest in gold like Kong Youde, so he should have been killed directly. .But the Ai family wanted to know the Tartars' movements through Shang Kexi, so they decided to keep the identity of 'Shang Kexi'..."

Although Empress Dowager Yang spoke very cryptically, Yuan Houshan still understood what she meant, cupped his hands and said, "I will immediately arrange people to handle this matter, please rest assured, Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Yang smiled with satisfaction, and waved Yuan Houshan to leave.Yuan Houshan quietly disappeared behind the main hall of Qianqing Palace just like when he came. Empress Dowager Yang leaned against the entrance of the hall and looked at the vast night, and stood for a while. Piandian went to rest.
