The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 85 Queen Zhang wants to fight a protracted war
Women who have become queens in the past dynasties have actually been judged one point by their looks and nine points by their family background.

But Zhang Yan, the queen, was actually selected through a beauty pageant.

Like those large-scale talent shows in later generations, national auditions were first launched. After the auditions, there were a total of [-] preliminary contestants (show girls).

These 5000 people were judged by concubines, court ministers, and Emperor Tianqi himself, and they went through a total of eight elimination rounds.

In the end, only three people were eliminated.

Among them, Zhang Yan was spotted by Emperor Tianqi, and she eventually became the queen of the Ming Dynasty.

Such people are naturally extremely beautiful.

So when the curtain was opened and Zhang Yan stepped out of the car, everyone present felt that their eyes were bright, as if... they had seen an unprecedented and beautiful scene.

Well, including Lord Min Wen and Gong Min.

He was stroking his beard with a smile, but now his hand could no longer move.

Although he had spoken to Queen Zhang, they had always been separated by a curtain.

Not only him, Min Wen Gong, but also Zhang Yan, who went from Beijing to Zhuozhou and then to Laishui County, welcomed and sent officials of all sizes, but none of them had ever really met each other.

It's not that Zhang Yan is particularly arrogant, but this is the rule in the feudal era: first, to have a noble status, and second, to avoid suspicion.

Even when Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian went to Ciqing Palace to pay his respects, he did so through a curtain.

But now Zhang Yan walked out in front of everyone, bowed to Fang Yuyingying and said: "The widow Zhang has met Mr. Fang. Mr. Zhang's trip was abrupt. Please don't blame Mr. Fang."

After all, Fang Yu is a person who is used to watching short videos and seeing a lot of Internet celebrity beauties, so his expression is very calm... unlike the high school sophomores and Liu Ji behind who are blushing, looking like they want to watch but don't dare to watch, feeling ashamed look like.

Fang Yu said politely, and then invited Zhang Yan and his party to the city.

Min Wen Gong knew that he was just a little ant and should get out after completing his mission.

Fang Yu also invited him to enter the city with him, but he said with a grimace, "Official affairs in the small county are complicated, and Min Wenggong really didn't dare to delay", then he said goodbye and left.

Looking at the hurried pace of his steps, it didn't seem like an excuse.

Just think about it and you will know that although Sun Chuanting has gone to Yizhou now, the grain base is on the Juma River, and the young men who carry the grain are recruited from Laishui County.

In addition, Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue is carrying out an anti-bandit operation near Laishui County. He, Min Wen Gong, can't just watch, right?Relevant coordinated actions are definitely indispensable.

Well, Zhang Yan just brought a military guard camp and a royal guard of honor. These people are all old men from Beijing, and they are no better than the hard-working officers and soldiers of the Inspection Department...

Fang Yu was thinking about something, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the old eunuch waving the fly whisk.

A box carriage drove up immediately from behind, followed by a small group of escorts.

They ran all the way to the city gate and stopped.

Then we started to move things from the carriage, which were all big and small boxes...

Fang Yu saw the large and small boxes that were moved down, and then looked at Zhang Yan beside him.

Her face was calm, but the base of her fair ears was obviously red.

It seems that the task given by Emperor Chongzhen to his wife is very heavy. She is required to stay here and fight a protracted war.

After entering the camp, Zhang Yan was slightly silent all the way, perhaps out of embarrassment.

As described in Chongzhen's letter and Sun Chuanting's words, this is really a place of divine refuge.She saw that every one of the people here had rosy complexions (this was also a miracle), she also saw the bell tower, and the black pillar connecting to the heaven in the distance.

In addition, she also saw a new miracle: a tall new house was built here. The walls of the house were made of blue bricks, but one of the walls was a huge green slab.

The plate was obviously made of metal, as it reflected a distinct brilliance in the sunlight.

Compared with the iron city wall, the golden clock tower and the black pillars reaching the sky, this miracle seems ordinary, but it is also particularly confusing.

What the gods send down must have its use, but what can a metal wall be used for?

Zhang Yan couldn't understand. Even though Fang Shenzi was close by, she didn't dare to ask.

Before she arrived in Laishui County, she made a special trip to Yizhou to find Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting originally thought that Queen Yi'an Zhang came to him to ask for money according to the emperor's order, and he was very worried. (It’s useless to cry about being poor now)

It turns out that Zhang Yan didn't mention the silver at all, as long as he explained in detail about the Son of God (and the gods).

After all, the letter didn't provide details, and her trip was so important. According to Emperor Chongzhen's words, "The emperor's sister-in-law's trip is closely related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty."

Therefore, she must know everything clearly and thoroughly, so as not to make irreversible mistakes when she meets the Son of God.

As long as he didn't ask for money, Sun Chuanting respected the Ming emperor's wife very much.

So Zhang Yan got a lot of valuable information from him. For example, the Son of God didn't like red tape, and he didn't like mortals calling him Son of Fang to his face.

In addition, Sun Chuanting also said "Don't" several times in a row, "Don't explore the reasons for the Son of God to live in the world, don't show royal majesty in front of the Son of God, don't kneel down in public... The empress only needs to act like an ordinary person and practice ordinary etiquette." That’s it.”

Zhang Yan kept these words in mind.

There was no suitable place for them in the camp, so Fang Yu took them directly to his residence.

The rooms on the second floor are all empty.

The house that Teacher Pan bought for a huge sum of 350 yuan was very large. Mr. Zhao insisted on living in the garage, and the second and third grade students grabbed a tool room.

Only Fang Yu and Axiu lived in the house, so it was really empty.

Now letting them live on the second floor can also make the house more popular, right? (please say "yes")
There's just one thing... Queen Yi'an Zhang is a widow. According to the ancient concepts at this time, I'm afraid it will inevitably cause some trouble for her.

So Fang Yu reminded: "This is my residence."

Zhang Yan naturally understood. Her face turned slightly red and she saluted, "I'm just afraid that I'll disturb Young Master Fang."

that's it.

Fang Yu said no more, led them through the door, and went directly to the second floor.

Zhang Yan held up her skirt and walked up the wooden stairs step by step, feeling clear in her heart.

In fact, before coming here, she had even made preparations for living in a shanty town. It would be best to live here now.

It's not that she covets the quality of her residence, but that this place is the closest to the Son of God, and it is a perfect opportunity for her (for the emperor) to get closer to the Son of God.

As for other people's rumors, she, Zhang Yan, simply ignored them.

This is a woman who has been fighting with the [-]-year-old Wei Zhongxian (and the Hakka family) for seven years and is still alive!
