Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 529 Wei Xiaobao's father-in-law?

"Brother Liu, my father summoned me yesterday and ordered me to supervise the country from the day after tomorrow!" Zhu Cihong seemed to be under tremendous pressure and couldn't express his displeasure.

Last year when Emperor Chongzhen personally conquered Jiannu, although he also supervised the country on behalf of his father, it was a last resort, but yesterday Chongzhen suddenly summoned him, and what he thought and said made Zhu Cihong feel uneasy.

In the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, only when the emperor was not in the palace, would he appoint the direct royal family to supervise the country, and there was never an emperor who let the prince supervise the country without reason in the palace.

"I am old and weak, and my body is not as good as before. You will take on the duty of supervising the country. If you do not decide on internal affairs, you should consult the cabinet. All the birds hide.

Yu Wenchen should not be credulous, nor should he be far away, take the body close to him, and the things far away, appoint people on their merits, know how to use them well, and put the people first...'

Zhu Cilang still remembered that Chongzhen was uncharacteristically strict last night, but spoke kindly, and suddenly felt a huge boulder pressing on his chest.

"Oh? Has the emperor finally made up his mind?" Liu Hongjian put down the wine cup in his hand and said meaningfully.

"So Brother Liu already knew..." Zhu Cihong subconsciously said.

"Is it the father's body..." Although Chongzhen kept his mouth shut, most people in the palace knew about Chongzhen's condition, every time Zhu Cihong thought about it, he felt that the sky was about to collapse.

"Hehe, what's the matter? Are you under pressure?" Liu Hongjian avoided talking about Chongzhen's illness, because some things cannot be changed no matter what.

"Well, although Cihong has the experience of supervising the country, most of the time it is still a few elders in the cabinet who handle government affairs on behalf of the Palace. Hearing the words of the emperor last night, it seems that he intends to retire. How can Cihong be so young and talented? ?”

Zhu Cihong said bluntly.

"What are you afraid of? The emperor was about the same age as you when he took over the throne. Back then, when Wei Wei was in trouble, most of the loyal ministers in the court were killed, and the rest were just assholes.

No one in the palace can be trusted. Empress Yi'an Zhang even told your father that you should not eat the food in the palace to prevent someone from poisoning you.

Compared with today's situation, the situation is very different. "Thinking of the situation when Uncle Chongzhen first came to the throne, it was not so dangerous. Now that 19 years have passed, it is embarrassing that his hair is already gray.

"The emperor expelled the Tartars to build a bridge and pave the way for you. Whenever there is an important matter unresolved, you can still ask your father and handle things with peace of mind." Liu Hongjian said in a deep voice.

Young man, hurry up and grow up, otherwise your father will not be able to live in peace even if he dies. Zhongxing Daming, his long-cherished wish in his life, but the sky fails to fulfill his wish, this damn disgraceful disease.

"Brother Liu, Emperor Father...how much time does he have?" Although Liu Hongjian didn't say anything, Zhu Cihong couldn't understand the reason.

Even if the emperor is called long live, how many of them can live to a hundred years old, Zhu Cihong asked with tears in his heart and eyes.

"Well, if you can stabilize your condition, be pure-hearted, less worried, less angry, maybe it can last for two years." Liu Hongjian sighed.

This is also his optimistic estimate, not to mention that the disease is difficult to stabilize, according to Uncle Chongzhen's quick temper, it is really hard to say what will happen in the future.

"Not to mention these worries, the emperor is now in the spirit of the dragon and horse, you are testing you as the emperor, don't worry about it, just let it go!
By the way, I heard that the concubine is happy?Is this true? "Liu Hongjian saw Zhu Cihong's compassionate face, and felt that the child was filial.

"Well, both the Chen family and the Qin family have heard good news one after another. The queen mother and the emperor are all happy!" Zhu Cihong also knew that he had lost his composure, so he wiped his eyes with his sleeves and said.

"You can, Cihong, kill two birds with one stone!" Liu Hongjian was not surprised to become a father at only 17 years old, and he would be preparing for the college entrance examination in future generations.

"Ah? What kills two birds with one stone?" Zhu Cihong was stunned.

"Oh, hehe, I'm praising you for my brother!"

……

Before the end of April, Liu Hongjian had a rare leisure time. He got up every morning and took the fat tiger for a run around the west mountain. Tinkering and improving the steam engine.

It has become Liu Hongjian's habit to take his dog for a run in the morning, and Menggu Mastiff Fat Tiger has grown into a dog now, and this kind of mastiff does not eat rice, and only eats two chickens a day, that is, Liu Hongjian's family was so wealthy that an ordinary family couldn't afford it.

It's just that this dog always looks like he doesn't like to talk to people. When he sees Liu Hongjian, he just wags his tail slightly. So far, the only advantage is that he seldom barks.

On this day, just after Liu Hongjian finished exercising, a servant came to report that a distinguished visitor had been waiting in the middle hall for a long time.

Liu Hongjian changed his clothes and entered the middle hall, but saw that there were three people sitting sideways in the middle hall, all of whom were dressed luxuriously.

"Next Zhang Wei first! I hope the prince will not be offended if you take the liberty to visit." Zhang Weixian was about [-] years old and was the first to greet him.

"I know you. You are the son of Zhang's family who is the new British duke!" Although he didn't know what these three people were doing here, Liu Hongjian still returned the courtesy.

After the last Hongmen Banquet, the old British Duke Zhang Shize knew that he was ashamed of Chongzhen, so in panic he asked to inherit the title to his eldest son Zhang Weixian in order to avoid Chongzhen's crime.

After Zhang Shize pledged to donate 5 taels, his son Zhang Weixian donated 40 taels of family money to the imperial court for emergency without telling Zhang Shize, so the line of the British public continued.

"It's exactly, and I will introduce you to the lord. This is the Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, whose name is Yuye, and this is Uncle Cheng, Liu Kongzhao, whose name is Fuyang." Zhang Wei first introduced Liu Hongjian one by one, and then both of them saluted and greeted each other. .

"From Prince Mu's Mansion? Isn't it in Yunnan? Why did you suddenly come to Beijing to visit me?" For some reason, when seeing Mu Tianbo, Liu Hongjian's first thought was, this is Wei Xiaobao's father-in-law?

"My lord, please don't talk nonsense. I'm the Duke of Qian, how dare you call him the mansion?" Mu Tianbo felt his heart tremble when he heard this, and seeing Liu Hongjian look at him strangely, he felt a sense of being on pins and needles. embarrassment.

"Oh, it's my lie. Brother Yuye, please don't blame me. Just sit down." Liu Hongjian laughed and said to himself, why did this old man say this word, Yuye, Yuye, is this a good drink?
"Are you after Liu Bowen, the sincere uncle who likes to talk about matchmaking?" Liu Hongjian looked Liu Kongzhao up and down and said.

Among the three, the eldest brother Liu Kongzhao was only 40 years old, and Zhang Weixian and Liu Kongzhao were the only ones who donated their family money at the Hongmen Banquet.

And Mu Tianbo, who was far away in Yunnan, also sold his property and pledged tens of thousands of taels immediately after hearing the news, becoming the only two remaining princes of the Chongzhen Dynasty who were furious and committed crimes.

Liu Hongjian was just curious, if Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, known as the military adviser of Zhuge Zhuge, knew that there was a matchmaker in his family, he didn't know how he felt.

"Exactly. I wonder if the prince needs to be a matchmaker?" Liu Kongzhao said half-jokingly, not at all.

"Hahaha!" Then the four of them laughed out loud.

"Let's talk about it, why did you three find me?" Liu Hongjian sat down and asked.

Before the national calamity, there was still a conscience of serving the country, but the three of them, Liu Hongjian, did not have any prejudices.

After the fall of the Nanming Dynasty, Mu Tianbo followed the Yongli court, and then entered Burma with Zhu Youlang. He was hijacked by the Burmese soldiers to go out during the calamity of Cursing Water, and resisted to death with a knife. This also made Liu Hongjian admire him deeply.

"To be honest, the three of you are all here for the workshops in Xishan."
