I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 175 He Must Give Yinzi Face
Chapter 174

If Cheng Shijie is not a prospective son-in-law, it doesn't matter to the imperial court whether he can behave in a human way.

However, he is now a prospective son-in-law, and even Najib has been accepted, so there are only two procedures left: questioning and welcoming the relatives. This matter is a major matter for the court.

No matter what the relationship between Emperor Chongzhen and Princess Le'an was, he couldn't find a son-in-law for his sister who couldn't behave in a human way.Such a tragedy once happened in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Princess Yongning is the fourth daughter of Ming Muzong Zhu Zaihou, and her mother is the Empress Dowager Li, which means that Princess Yongning is the same mother and sister of Ming Shenzong. , the favor of Emperor Wanli.

However, when Princess Yongning was paying homage, the son-in-law suddenly vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Not long after, the son-in-law died.And Princess Yongning is also pitiful, he and his son-in-law only have the name of husband and wife for this month, but they have no real husband and wife, let alone have children.Although she is a princess, the idea of ​​"observing chastity for her husband" was still deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible to remarry after all.

So after 12 years of being alone and widowed, he passed away at the age of 27.It is said that until death, Princess Yongning was a virgin.

At first, Emperor Chongzhen believed that this kind of impeachment was pretentious. After all, no one could come up with real evidence, and Cheng Shijie was different from Princess Yongning's son-in-law. Cheng Shijie was physically strong and skilled in martial arts. Cheng Shijie's eldest son, who is 12 years old, can be found.

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it, the news reached the ears of Concubine Li Kang. Concubine Li Kangzhen asked people to summon Emperor Chongzhen. Although Emperor Chongzhen hated Concubine Li Kang very much, he couldn't see Concubine Li Kang, because he was brought up by Concubine Li Kangzhen since he was a child. My name is Concubine Li Kang's mother.

Avoiding Concubine Li Kang, once or twice is fine, and after a long time, there will be no excuses. After all, Emperor Chongzhen can't bear the name of being unfilial.Being annoyed by Concubine Li Kang was so annoying, she had no choice but to call Gao Qiqian to ask.

If you want to say who knows Cheng Shijie best in the entire imperial court, it must be Gao Qiqian.

"Gao Banban, you are familiar with Cheng Qing..."

Gao Qiqian was very clear about Emperor Chongzhen's worries, because the impeachment of this crime was actually done by him, and it was spread with nose and eyes. Cheng Shijie was surrounded by Yang Yunniang, Jin Qiaoer, Jiang Xueer, Wang Wei, Feng Sanniang, and Luo's six Women come in all ages and shapes.

However, the problem is that none of these six daughters has served Cheng Shijie in bed, especially the three daughters Yang Yunniang, Jin Qiaoer, and Jiang Xueer, who are still virgins now.

In this situation, people have to think, is Cheng Shijie really bad?

As for whether Cheng Shijie can do it or not, Gao Qiqian actually has the right to speak. He once reported directly to Emperor Chongzhen: "My lord, this servant has already reported this matter!"

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly taken aback: "Have you reported it?"

Gao Qiqian hurriedly asked people to look for the old memorial, and finally found it after spending half a day. Gao Qiqian once reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your servant... bathing with Shijie... quite majestic!"

Emperor Chongzhen firmly believed in Gao Qiqian's words.

He asked curiously: "The impeachment by the court..."

"Those who are not envied by others are mediocre. You don't know, my lord. The servants have received a report from Jin Yiwei's scouts. The Chuanqi from Liaonan and Dengzhou have entered Beijing. I don't know if it has brought good news!"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned: "What's going on? Wang Banban, go and investigate!"

This is Gao Qiqian's brilliance. Gao Qiqian sent people to suppress the good news in southern Liaoning. Apart from him, only Xu Guangqi could get a few words of news from Sun Yuanhua, but Xu Guangqi also faintly felt Gao Qiqian The layout of the dive.

Xu Guangqi has been trying his best to defend Cheng Shijie. When he learned that Gao Qi was potential to dig a hole, he followed the trend and started to increase the fire. Now the memorial to impeach Cheng Shijie has nearly [-] copies, which is a full basket.

Emperor Chongzhen thought of the recent trend in the court, and now the memorial to impeach Cheng Shijie is mainly in three aspects. First, Cheng Shijie disregarded the overall situation and was determined to fight Jiannu to the death!Cheng Shijie wanted to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to pave the way for his official career, which was completely reckless.

Second, Cheng Shijie didn't understand the good intentions of Emperor Chongzhen, ignored the emptiness of the national treasury, and went his own way, and the warriors were overthrown.

Third, Cheng Shijie's body is hidden, but he cheated into marrying the royal family, and his intentions can be punished.

Emperor Chongzhen's current headache is the rogues. In Yang He, the former governor of the three sides, who was also the chief recruiter, the Ming court was unable to feed a large number of hungry people.Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong feigned surrender many times, recharging their energy for a period of time before turning back.The Ming Dynasty suppressed the "thief army" many times without dying because of this false surrender.

In fact, this problem cannot be blamed on Yang He's head. If Yang He was Cheng Shijie, as long as the hundreds of thousands of rebels surrendered, Cheng Shijie would organize these rogues into hundreds of households, and they would not rebel.But the problem is that Yang He has no food or money in his hands, and these rogues can only rebel again.

Emperor Chongzhen promoted Hong Chengchou as the new governor of the three sides. In all fairness, Hong Chengchou changed Yang He's "frontier suppression and side appeasement (inducing surrender)" to the policy of "all-out cleanup and suppression" and "suppression first, then appeasement" and concentrated his forces to attack Shaanxi. peasant army.The peasant army suffered heavy losses, the leader Ke Tianfei was beheaded, and the general Bai Guangen surrendered.Cao Wenzhao encircled and suppressed the peasant army at Zhuizi Mountain in Yaozhou. The leader of the peasant army, Lone Wolf, surrendered. Hong Chengchou ordered the massacre of 400 people, and the rest were dismissed.

It is a pity that these refugee troops took the opportunity to join Gao Yingxiang, and Gao Yingxiang reorganized the refugee army, which was divided into 36 battalions with more than [-] troops.

In August of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang conquered Daning, Xizhou, Zezhou, and Shouyang, shaking the whole Jin Dynasty.Encouraged by Gao Yingxiang, the refugees and grassroots bandits in Nanzhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and even Fujian were greatly encouraged.
They were not as powerful as Gao Yingxiang's rebel army, but they were enough to make the officers and soldiers burn out. For a while, Huguang, Sichuan, and Jiangxi were surrounded by smoke and fire, and the rebels' horseshoes resounded among the poor mountains and rivers.

Such a critical situation shocked the government and the opposition. Under such circumstances, Xu Guangqi, the cabinet deputy, proposed to transfer the Ning Navy to the customs to counter the rebellion.

It happened at this juncture that Cheng Shijie was impeached by the ministers and became a sieve.

The real reason for the impeachment of Cheng Shijie, Emperor Chongzhen now knows, is not that Cheng Shijie did something outrageous, but that Cheng Shijie worshiped Sun Chengzong as his teacher and planned to use Sun Chengzong's political legacy.

Sun Chengzong can also be regarded as a member of the Donglin Party, but the Donglin Party is actually just a loose political alliance.

Since the downfall of the Donglin Party cabinet, Wen Tiren, a minister in the cabinet, has manipulated the government. Naturally, he does not want such a respected person as Sun Chengzong to come out.

Following Wang Chengen's investigation, it turned out that the good news sent by Chuanqi in southern Liaoning was suppressed.

Gao Qiqian took the victory report and shouted excitedly: "My lord, great victory!"

"Win the fight?"

Emperor Chongzhen was very excited.

Gao Qiqian pretended to be even more excited: "My lord, not only did he win the battle, but General Cheng also beat up Jiannu badly. More than [-] Jiannu, more than [-] Mongols, and more than [-] Han troops, captured more than [-] prisoners and beheaded seven or eight thousand people!"

Emperor Chongzhen let it go without reading it, read it again, read it again, clapped his hands, laughed, and said: "Hey! It's done! I won, Daming won!"

As Emperor Chongzhen said, he fell backwards, clenched his teeth, and fell unconscious.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a coma, but Gao Qiqian was frightened: "Come here, come here, tell the imperial doctor!"

The imperial doctor came over, pinched people, and gave needles. Not long after, Emperor Chongzhen woke up. He jumped up from the imperial couch, and ran out of the palace without even wearing his shoes: "I won the victory of the Ming Dynasty. Daming won!"

Emperor Chongzhen became insane, which shocked all the officials.

Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, and Wu Zongda came over one after another. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor.

Wu Zongda asked puzzledly, "What happened?"

Gao Qiqian said: "Your Majesty has received the good news from General Cheng!"

"Good news?"

Xu Guangqi was not surprised. He had received it from Sun Yuanhua a day ago, but he was just curious why the court didn't announce it.

Wu Zongda said: "What good news?"

"Great victory in Baliwan, Haizhou. General Cheng beheaded more than [-] ranks of Jiannu, beheaded the two Baylors of Mang Gurtai and Dege, and captured Baylor Abata alive..."

"What a joke!"

"How dare our family make jokes!"

Wen Tiren hurriedly received the good news, read it at a glance, and then went back to read it sentence by sentence, still not quite believing his eyes, so after reading it, he read it word by word.

This is not Cheng Shijie's vernacular-style good news, but Sun Zhili's own handwriting, with extremely gorgeous words and great exaggeration...

Wen Tiren read it all at a glance, his expression was unpredictable, and finally turned into a sigh.

Cheng Shijie actually won the fight, and beat Jiannu so badly!He doesn't need to count the heads one by one in person, he knows that the Ming army really won a big victory in this battle, because false reporting of military exploits is a skill, if you want to add water to the record, no one will put beheading and The number of captives is so clearly written, there are wholes and parts, and he only needs to look at the number of beheads and captives to know that that kid really led the Ming army to a victory that he hadn't seen in decades.

Is Cheng Shijie really the reincarnation of Wu Qi and the reincarnation of Huo Qubing? He is so good at fighting!

While being puzzled, Wen Tiren also felt a little relieved. This time, Jiannu was really beaten to the bone. It should be a few years to stop, right?He, the chief assistant, can also relax a bit.

However, this thought flashed by, and a sense of crisis enveloped him like a dark cloud in June.He has not forgotten that behind Cheng Shijie is not only Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, but also Sun Chengzong, the former chief assistant of the cabinet.

Now that he has achieved an unprecedented victory, this victory will push the reputation of Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong to the peak, and he cannot be allowed to continue to win!
What Cheng Shijie didn't know was that he was being targeted by the chief minister of the cabinet at this time. Of course, he was not someone who had no heels. Stop Sun Chengzong again, but the key is that Cheng Shijie will immediately become a son-in-law.

Xu Guangqi's face was flushed and he was triumphant.

Emperor Chongzhen woke up in the middle of the night, and when he woke up, he found that Empress Zhou was crying.

"Queen, why are you crying!"

"Your Majesty, what if... your concubine is afraid!"

Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his heart: "I'm just so happy, I didn't expect Cheng Qing to be so powerful, all of a sudden..."

Empress Zhou looked at the flushed face of Emperor Chongzhen and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"I'm fine!"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hands and said: "I am so happy, now I can finally feel at ease for a few years."

"General Cheng is really a blessed general of Ming Dynasty."

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "In the past, everyone was terrified of Jiannu. Our army was invincible when we met Jiannu, but since he appeared, one victory after another, Jiannu almost made him lose his temper. Already!"

Emperor Chongzhen proudly said: "Yes, if he can win such a big victory one or two more times, I'm afraid Jiannu will kneel down and beg for mercy! It's a pity that he still has too few soldiers. If he doesn't command thirty-seven thousand It is a miscellaneous army made up of eight, but the [-] Ning Navy, and at least half of Jiannu's [-] army should be left behind."

Empress Zhou turned her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "That's not easy, why not just give him enough troops? If 8 is not enough, then give another [-]! His Ning Haijun is so powerful, if he can have [-] people, I am afraid that Jiannu will be terrified when they hear the news, and they will retreat as soon as they see the dust!"

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "That's right, the imperial court still pays the Dongjiang Army every year, cancels the Dongjiang Army, merges the Dongjiang Army into the Ning Navy, and then merges the Dengzhou Army into the Ning Navy!"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Cheng Shijie sneezed twice in a row, and the snot bubbles came out.He rubbed his nose, took a thermometer to measure his temperature, found that he didn't have a fever, and muttered to himself: "I don't have a cold, why do you keep sneezing? Could it be that my wife misses me?"

During this period of time, Cheng Shijie's attention has been on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and he rarely cared about the future generations. Xiang Hui has done a very good job. Her five Longyue companies have developed very well, and Longyue Catering has successfully won the sixth place. The student canteen of the junior high school, the Community Convenience Canteen has also successfully opened a second branch. This is a canteen located in the Baihua Road community.

Longyue Catering Company now has two community cafeterias and one student cafeteria. It has a certain scale and can directly purchase from the farmers' planting company in Hanhai City, bypassing the second-hand dealers to earn the difference, and can get fresh food at extremely low prices. vegetables and fruits.

Only then did Cheng Shijie discover how profitable the fruit and vegetable supermarket is. In off-season watermelon only costs [-] cents a catty, cabbage and potatoes only cost [-] cents, and vegetables such as water spinach and lettuce don’t cost more than [-] yuan. In the supermarket, it costs two or three yuan a catty, and the cheapest cabbage only costs two cents a catty.

In order to facilitate the transportation of vegetables, Xiang Hui bought twelve vans in one go, specializing in the transportation of vegetables, grain and oil.

Cheng Shijie hardly asked about these matters. Could it be that Xiang Hui was talking about herself?

At this time, the news of Haizhou's Baliwan victory spread to Jinzhou as well as the capital.Although Jinzhou is closer to the capital, it's just that the news got a little later.

What Wu Sangui couldn't accept the most was not Cheng Shijie's beheading of Mang Gurtai and Dege, nor was it Cheng Shijie's beheading of more than [-] Jiannu and winning a big victory.

The most critical issue is that in this battle, Guan Ning's army dispatched [-] elite cavalry, Zu Dabi and Zu Dale brothers dispatched together, but they bypassed Wu Xiang and did not let the Wu family participate.

This is almost making the conflict between the Wu and Zu families public, which is the most deadly.

Wu Xiang smiled wryly, "Am I wrong?"

In fact, there is still a clear difference between Wu Xiang of the Guanning Army and Zu Dashou. Zu Dashou is also corrupt and earns money. He will fight when it is time to fight.

But Wu Xiang was different, he stayed put and did not move, obediently obeyed the orders of the Ministry of War, and devoted himself to preserving his strength. He was completely wrong!The stupid way of preserving his strength not only caused him to miss a great achievement, but also made Chongzhen lose the last trace of his goodwill towards him.

In the past, there were no elites in Ming Dynasty who could fight against Jiannu. Chongzhen naturally accommodated Wu Xiang in every possible way. He could tolerate him eating nothing, could tolerate him rejecting dissidents, and could tolerate him selling food, iron and other military weapons to Jiannu. The Guan Ning army has no more troops to show for it.

Fortunately, in the battle of Haizhou, Ning's navy showed its edge. Now in the battle of Baliwan, the ancestor's Guanning army and the Dongjiang army also followed suit. In contrast, Wu's Guanning army's passive avoidance of war It seemed extremely unbearable.

With so many powerful and loyal iron soldiers, will Chongzhen tolerate Wu's Guanning army's passive avoidance of war and greed as before?
The great victory of Ningyuan is the strong rise of the Guan Ning army. Now Ning Haijun has established their position in Chongzhen and the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty with a more brilliant and brilliant victory than the Ningyuan Great Victory and Ningjin Great Victory. The Guan Ning Army is the only one. The pattern was completely broken.

And what's worse, Zu Dashou stopped playing with them.

Wu Xiang was not afraid of the imperial court, he instinctively preserved his strength, and the consequences were so serious!

I knew so...

Wu Xiang regretted it very much now.

But Zu Dashou felt a little distressed. After all, he could get a fortune of [-] elite cavalry.

But the problem is that the loss is not small.

Correspondingly, Zu Dashou also won the bet, following Cheng Shijie to win this battle, the gain was greater than the effort.

"send troops!"

Zu Dashou looked at Zu Kefa beside him and said, "Kefa!"

"exist!"

"You take two thousand cavalry to Liaodong!"

"Yes!"

Just when Zu Dashou decided to send troops, Wu Xiang also made up his mind: "Send troops!"

"father!"

Wu Sangui smiled wryly: "We don't send troops until the battle is over. Isn't that just making the world laugh at us?"

"It's not over yet! Although Jiannu has been defeated, the battle is not over yet!"

Wu Xiangdao: "With Cheng Shijie's personality, he will definitely not let Jianu withdraw so easily. He will lead the victorious army to follow behind Jiannu like hungry wolves, biting and biting until Jianu is driven out. Go back! We send troops now, there is still time!"

"But……"

Wu Xiang knew Wu Sangui's concern, that is, he couldn't hold back his face.

Wu Xiang looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Uncle, you have to remember that if you want to be a winner, you must stand by the side with the greatest chance of winning, not be against it, no matter whether the side with the greatest chance of winning is Jiannu or Daming , or Cheng Shijie! All the honors and disgraces are not important, only the longevity and prosperity of the Wu family are the most important!"

"All right!"

Wu Sangui said softly: "I listen to you!"

"Actually, there is still time. As long as we send troops, join the ranks of the pursuit, and win a few battles! Let Cheng Shijie say a few good words to us, and all this can be blurred."

Wu Sangui was puzzled and said: "He will say good things to us? We have no friendship with Ning Haijun!"

"Friendship is such a thing, friendship is not enough money to make up for it!"

Wu Xiang smiled disapprovingly and said: "Cheng Shijie can not give me face, but he has to give money! 60 taels of silver, in exchange for Cheng Shijie's good words, he will definitely say something!"

In fact, Wu Xiang was not so confident. He originally wanted to offer 30 taels of silver, but he was worried that Cheng Shijie would not like it.Just doubled.

In Wu Xiang's eyes, Cheng Shijie, who can't afford to lose face, is actually counting the money, counting the vain money to spend.

It's actually very simple to beat a long-distance runner. You don't have to be better at running than him. You just need to starve him for a few days and you can easily beat him.

Now the Jiannu army is acting as the starving long-distance runner, although they have tried their best to withdraw to Liaozhong Weicheng and Shenyang as soon as possible.

But because the damned Ming army cavalry kept biting them, especially the despicable Mongolian cavalry, they must have been almost embarrassed to let them fight Jiannu, but let him harass Jiannu, and they could complete the task brilliantly.Under the harassment of the Mongolian cavalry like a pack of wolves, the Jiannu army couldn't eat enough food at all, and couldn't even sleep well.

The Ning Navy infantry led by Cheng Shijie ate enough and slept well. They drove sixty miles a day and fought a few small battles just to digest food!Jiannu, who couldn't even eat enough to eat, ran in front, and those who were full, chased after them like a pack of jackals smelling blood. , who the hell can stand it!
Huang Taiji doesn't care about how many Korean and Chinese coated servants deserted now, they don't have extra energy to take care of these, they just focus on rushing to Liao Zhongwei.

When they arrived in Liaozhongwei, they could take a good breath, eat a few full meals, and get a good night's sleep. When they had enough energy, they would be much more calm whether they stood firm or continued to retreat.

Cheng Shijie didn't know Huang Taiji's thoughts, he only had one thought: "Liao Zhongwei must be mine!"

PS: I'm very sorry, I got stuck yesterday and couldn't write anymore.
