Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 134 Chen Yuanyuan

After entering the capital, he felt that it was really different from before.

He is from Tongzhou. In the past, the capital also came here.

But as far as I can see, the cleanliness of the capital is definitely many times better than the previous impression.

Immediately, a thought appeared in his mind: Could it be the horrible pimple disease, it must be related to rats, right?
Yan Yingyuan has been on his way, otherwise, he wouldn't have this question when the mansion report was sent to all states and counties.

But soon, he no longer cared about other things, but concentrated all his energy on the matter of meeting the emperor soon.

Regarding this matter, he was full of doubts, but also uncontrollable excitement.

In the world, which canonical history would have such an honor to have an audience with the emperor?

No, only myself!

He waited outside the gate of the palace, while the servant who passed the decree went in to pay the decree.

During the waiting period, he was also a little apprehensive. He didn't know what the reason for the emperor's urgent summons at eight hundred li was.
Ancestral treasure?But I don't have one!

After much deliberation, he just couldn't figure it out.Even why the emperor knew about him, he couldn't give himself an explanation!
While thinking about it, Yan Yingyuan received the order and immediately went to the Wuying Hall to have an audience.

So, with a complex expression of apprehension, anticipation, anxiety, etc., he immediately went to the Hall of Martial Arts.

Emperor Chongzhen was also looking forward to Yan Yingyuan's arrival, so he summoned Yan Yingyuan immediately.

He had read the materials Liu Weichao passed on to him on the [-]st day of Jiangyin, and he had no special feelings for others, because those people first surrendered to Jianlu, and later resisted because Jianlu wanted to shave their hair and change their clothes.

But Yan Yingyuan was no longer a canonist at that time, serving his sick mother at home, and there was no such thing as surrender and Jianlu.

When he was needed to resist Jianlu, he went out to lead the people of Jiangyin to resist Jianlu.

At the moment when he made a decision, he was probably the same as Sun Chuanting, knowing the danger but still stepping forward.

It can be seen from his final Jue Ming poem that what he pretends in his heart is Daming!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked closely at Yan Yingyuan who was attending the ceremony, and saw that Yan Yingyuan had a plump body, erect eyebrows, slender and long curved eyes, and a red face with a beard.The impression of this whole person is a bit like the legendary Guan Yunchang alive!
Seeing this image, he couldn't help nodding his head again and again. The so-called love is born from the heart. It is estimated that people with such abilities will have the spirit of righteousness, even if it is a desperate situation!
I have to say that sometimes appearance is really important.This is true in modern times, as well as in ancient times!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was more fond of him, said to Yan Yingyuan with joy: "Yan Qing is flat!"

The anxiety in Yan Yingyuan's heart was immediately replaced by excitement when he called out the word "Yan Qing".

There is no doubt that he was summoned by the emperor, which is a great thing!

So, he hurriedly flattened himself according to the words, and then stood with his hands down, waiting for the emperor to speak.

I just heard Emperor Chongzhen say to him: "I heard that I am very talented, good at military affairs, and good at dealing with Jianghu affairs, is it okay?"

Sure enough, someone recommended him to the emperor, Yan Yingyuan thought to himself, and immediately wanted to answer humbly.

But soon, he changed his mind again, now this opportunity is once in a thousand years, and if you miss it, why should you be humble?

Answer the truth and show what you have learned, isn't it good?
Thinking of this, Yan Yingyuan immediately replied: "The last general will perform his duties, and he should do his best to gain experience in military affairs and arresting robbers!"

The responsibilities of Dian Shi are somewhat similar to the police stations of later generations.Therefore, he prefers martial arts and has to deal with people in the world.

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Chongzhen immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll let Qing be the commander of the army and horse commander in the city for a while. Maybe I can handle this job well?"

The Five Cities Army and Horse Command Division is the yamen responsible for patrolling and arresting thieves in the capital, clearing streets, ditches, prisoners, and fire bans.It is a bit similar to the Public Security Bureau of the Jingshi District and the Urban Management Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau of the Jingshi District in later generations.

The Commanding Division of the Wucheng Bingma is not a yamen, but a collective name of five yamen, which are southeast, northwest, and middle.

Now, Yan Yingyuan has been promoted from a local classic history to the commander of the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department in the capital, and from an unremarkable classic history to a command of the sixth rank. This kind of promotion is unprecedented!

After Yan Yingyuan heard it, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Along the way, he thought a lot, but never thought that the emperor summoned him to Beijing to be the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Command!
And he also heard that the position of the commander was actually the emperor's inspection of him. If he did well, he might be promoted later!

What kind of virtue and ability am I, to be so favored by the emperor!
Excited in his heart, he looked up and found that the emperor was looking at him with a smile.

So, he immediately knelt down on one knee, suppressed his excitement, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The final general will never fail His Majesty's expectations!"

Without any excuses, Yan Yingyuan made up his mind to prove himself to the emperor!
"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with satisfaction after hearing this, "It's troublesome, work hard, I will watch!"

Only in troubled times will there be more leapfrog promotions!

Afterwards, Yan Yingyuan was led by someone to go to the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department to handover with the generals of the Yongwei Battalion.

After all, the soldiers and horses of the five cities cannot always be controlled by the Yongwei Battalion. If someone is available, they still have to be handed over.

As Emperor Chongzhen himself said, he also wanted to see what Yan Yingyuan was capable of, so he first gave such an official to work under the eyes of the emperor.

The commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses is actually very difficult to be, especially at the feet of the emperor.

At the very beginning, or the original intention of the establishment of the Wucheng Bingma Division, anyone in the block who has water and fire thieves and officials who have details or needs to be heard can respond at one call, fight fires, watch nights, and govern in a clean and honest manner. Penny.

But in the end, after a long period of time, evils arose, from the initial arrest of thieves, to the later taboo thieves, and then to the acquisition of capital from thieves, collaborating with thieves, it can be said that they just used their power to make money.

And at the feet of the emperor, there are many dignitaries.For the powerful and powerful, they will be obedient, but for the poor and powerful, it is extortion, which is commonplace.

All these are the current situation before the Yongwei Battalion suddenly took over the Wucheng Bingma Siqian.

Of course, the reason why the soldiers and horses of the five cities are like this is also related to the corruption of the patrolling censor, and the corruption of the factory guards is also related.

Otherwise, these are all supervisory functions, and they can supervise the soldiers and horses of the five cities not to do these things.

Seeing Yan Yingyuan leave, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help saying to himself: "I hope I won't be disappointed!"

If Yan Yingyuan did well, he wanted to transfer Yan Yingyuan to Beijing as a general.

In this way, even if the general army of the Beijing camp has a different heart, and some of the generals under it are loyal and serve the country, they will inevitably contain the general army of the Beijing camp so that the capital camp will not die.

After arranging this matter, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy that there was another person who could be used, so he was naturally grateful to Liu Weichao, the person who recommended him, and immediately remembered the voice message Liu Weichao sent him.

No matter what, I have to repay Liu Weichao!

So, he immediately drove and went to find Concubine Tian Gui.

As soon as Tian Guifei saw him, she immediately asked with concern: "Your Majesty, how is my song?"

For her, since she can't do politics, there are not many things she can care about.

I don't know what Liu Weichao in the other world would think of the song she sang before, it's what she cares most about!
When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he smiled and said, "Very good! He also asked for more songs!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Tian Gui was very happy, and immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen: "No problem, how about I sing a few tunes now?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, nodded and said, "Hehe, that's why I came here. You don't know, a person recommended by Liu Weichao has come to the capital. I feel good, so no matter what, we have to give him a gift. Is that all right?"

Concubine Tian Gui didn't care much about this, she was more concerned that her songs would be very popular in later generations, so she wanted to sing a few more.

So, she quickly nodded in agreement, and then urged Emperor Chongzhen to record her.

Three songs came in a row, and they were all the ones she was most familiar with.As for the others, Tian Guifei felt that she had to sing it a few more times to ensure that she could sing the best, so she didn't record it for now.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he shook his head a little and said, "Only these three songs are still a little short!"

Having said that, he thought, how about calling the Department of Political Affairs and Communications to see if there is anyone who sings better among the people selected from the Department of Jiaofang.

As a result, when Concubine Tian Gui heard what he said, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, as I said yesterday, didn't my father buy famous prostitutes from Jiangnan? I saw that they were indeed good, so I stayed in the palace." gone."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately remembered such a thing and nodded.

When Tian Guifei saw it, she immediately suggested: "She can sing a few songs well, why don't you listen to it, and if possible, you can also send it to Liu Weichao!"

"Okay, then I will listen to it!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and agreed after listening.

Concubine Tian Gui listened, and then someone came in from outside the hall.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he was a little taken aback, but saw that the person who came in was very beautiful!

Afterwards, he came back to his senses, thinking in his heart, what a pity!

If it's a girl from a good family, that's fine!

He was thinking, but Concubine Tian Gui told the man: "Chen Yuanyuan, please sing a song for Your Majesty!"

That's right, this person is Chen Yuanyuan, one of the "Qinhuai Eight Beauties" in the late Ming Dynasty.

Gong Ruofu, the son of Gong Xiuling from Jiangyin, once paid a lot of money to redeem Chen Yuanyuan as his concubine, but was not tolerated by his wife.As far as life experience is concerned, he is actually a poor person.

At this time, Chen Yuanyuan may have experienced a lot, so she didn't lose her composure in front of the emperor, and she did whatever she was asked to do.
