Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 870 This Is My Promise (4000rd update, [-]-word chapter)
The palace has already been decorated with lanterns and festoons, the lights are brightly lit, and fireworks are being set off in every palace. Although it is still solemn, there is joy in the solemnity.

It was not the first time for Sun Xiuxiu and the three daughters to come to the palace, especially Kunxing, who had been living in the palace before.

She wasn't surprised by her elder brother's departure, because every Chinese New Year Zhu Cihong would invite the whole family of Prince Anguo County into the palace to have a New Year's Eve dinner together. This tradition seemed to have started from the time of her father, Huang Chongzhen.

The banquet was held in Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Cihong, Empress Chen and Concubine Qin had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Sun Xiuxiu and others coming, Empress Chen quickly got up to greet her. Concubine Qin didn't want to get up at first, because she was an imperial concubine and her status was higher than that of Sun Xiuxiu and others. However, Empress Chen got up, so she could only force a smile to get up.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and get rid of the ceremony. Today's New Year's Eve, we just have a New Year's Eve dinner. You should just treat me as the little prince who went to Brother Liu's house three years ago!" Zhu Cihong said with a smile, pointing at the tables and chairs that had already been placed .

"Sister, quickly show my sister-in-law some tea."

Zhu Cihong hadn't seen Kun Xing for some days, he was really no outsider, there was no one else in the hall except Zhu Cihong's family and Sun Xiuxiu's family, even Pang Dahai, who was always smiling, was driven outside the hall to blow the cold wind.

However, this title is also quite strange. Kunxing married Liu Hongjian. It stands to reason that Liu Hongjian should be Zhu Cihong's brother-in-law, but Liu Hongjian is older than Zhu Cihong, and he himself used to call Sun Xiuxiu's sister-in-law before.

So in front of the powerful Liu Hongjian, Zhu Cihong could only argue with him.

"Your Majesty, my husband is not here today, so my concubine will offer tea to the emperor instead of wine, wishing the emperor good health and the prosperity of Ming Dynasty." Sun Xiuxiu raised her teacup and nodded to Zhu Cihong, Empress Chen and Concubine Qin.

Empress Chen also picked up the tea bowl to return the gift, while Zhu Cihong picked up the wine glass with a smile and drank it down in one gulp.

"Sister, when will Liu Hongjian come back?" Princess Zhaoren asked seriously as she sat beside Empress Chen.

She doesn't like Concubine Qin very much. Although Concubine Qin treats her very well, she just doesn't like it.

Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Dowager Yi'an like quietness. They both knew that Zhu Cihong had invited the prince's family of Anguo County, and they didn't come to join in the fun with the young people. Instead, they also held a banquet in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and had the New Year's Eve dinner with the late emperor's concubines. .

Princess Zhaoren is most afraid of the Empress Dowager Zhou, followed by the Empress Dowager Yi'an. Both of them are away now, so she is not afraid of the emperor's brother Zhu Cihong at all.

"Zhaoren, the king of Anguo County is fighting in Luocha country, don't keep talking about it, he will always come back." Empress Chen put a piece of fish in the bowl in front of Zhaoren and said.

"Hmph, that heartbroken man! When he comes back, I will..."

"What about you? It's really getting more and more disrespectful." Zhu Cihong reprimanded with a sullen face.

"I'll marry him, right? Qiqige?" Zhaoren was not intimidated at all, she had already figured out her emperor's brother's temperament, and she was pretending to be angry.

"Well, we can play together after we marry him!" Qi Qige sat next to Concubine Qin and agreed.

She seems to have forgotten that she used to be a Mongolian princess, and her father never cared about her after sending her to the capital. The Queen Mother Zhou liked this eccentric daughter very much, and felt sorry for Zhaoren's lack of playmates, so she simply accepted her Ge is a righteous daughter, and she stays with Zhaoren in the palace.

Both of them didn't know how to use fuel-efficient lamps, and they ran around in Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace and Compassionate Ning Palace every day, making the eunuchs and maids in the palace a little afraid of these two little ancestors.

"The two princesses are talking nonsense again, hurry up and eat the food, the food is cold." Qin Guifei only thought it was a joke between the two little girls, and hurriedly brought food for Qi Qige.

Zhu Cihong and Sun Xiuxiu looked at each other with embarrassing expressions, Zhaoren also had nothing to do with this younger sister, she couldn't tell whether Zhaoren was just joking or really wanted to.

Previously, Zhaoren had always taken Zhaoren's childish words as a joke, but it has been two years since Zhaoren said so almost all the time, and the few people who knew about it felt a little abnormal.

Fortunately, it was Empress Chen and Concubine Qin who kept bringing food to the two daughters, and the delicious food immediately blocked the mouths of the two daughters.

"Sister is so young, do you want to marry my father? My father is really powerful!"

Fortunately, the two little princesses were stabilized, but Liu Lingfeng, the eldest son of the county prince's mansion, was not easy-going, and so on, just a single sentence brought the topic back to the wrong direction.

"Don't call me elder sister. I'm one, two, three, or six years older than you. You have to be called... you have to be called aunt, right, Qiqige."

……

"Of course your father is powerful, but I have fought side by side with your father, your father is very brave on the battlefield!" Zhu Cihong said directly to Liu Hongjian's eldest son, Liu Lingfeng, without bothering to pay attention to Zhaoren.

"Really, then tell me, the emperor, how brave my father is." As soon as Ling Feng heard this, he immediately became interested, and ignored the question of what he should call Zhao Ren.

"Back then, I galloped on the battlefield with your father and king, and defeated the enemy..."

"Bah, it's back then, isn't it just a few months ago?" Zhaoren listened to his brother bragging while eating, and sometimes tried to tear things apart.

"Eat well, don't interrupt!" Zhu Cihong glared at Zhaoren, and Zhaoren stuck out his tongue at Zhu Cihong and made a grimace.

"Back then, I wanted your father to gallop across the battlefield and surround the enemy in the city of Kulun. Have you ever seen the Raksha people?
All of them are tall, burly and covered in hair. Both I and your father call them Maozi.

There are more than 5 children in the city of Kulun. After your father blasted the city wall, I rushed into the city with your father and king with a sword, and killed hundreds of them!
That's killing blood like a river!Aotian, are you afraid? "Zhu Cihong said a lot in one breath, feeling a little dry.

Empress Chen and Shi Shi poured Zhu Cihong another glass of wine, and Zhu Cihong drank it down in one gulp, and the conversation became more intense.

Xiao Aotian is also a qualified listener, Ling Yu and Ling Xue also raised their heads to listen to Zhu Cihong's story, the story about their father.

"Don't be afraid! Father kills Maozi, and I will kill Maozi when I grow up!" Liu Lingfeng said immaturely but seriously.

"Hey, I'm afraid you don't have a chance. Your father and king should almost hit Moscow, the capital of the Raksha Kingdom!" Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

He himself has some regrets. The Western Expedition to Rakshasa is the first time in 300 years of Ming Dynasty, and it is also the first time that Ming has fought against Europa. It is Zhu Cihong's knot that he cannot fight side by side together.

"Father will always leave some for me, and I will kill it when I grow up!" Liu Lingfeng raised his small fist and shook it.

"Aotian, don't talk nonsense, go and pour tea for the empress!" Sun Xiuxiu was a little bit dumbfounded about the conversation between Zhu Cihong and her son.

If Ling Feng is young and ignorant, but Zhu Cihong is already twenty, and will be 21 after the new year, and the emperor of the dynasty can speak so incoherently, just like his husband.

Ling Feng obediently put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and poured a cup of tea for Empress Chen, while Ling Xue also obediently poured a cup for Concubine Qin Gui.

Afterwards, the two of them immediately became distant again, and put on airs, ready to listen to Zhu Cihong's continued storytelling.

"Your father, he is a great hero who stands up to heaven and earth, just like me." Zhu Cihong said again.

Empress Chen smiled at Sun Xiuxiu in embarrassment. She also felt that the emperor was a little different today. She also thought that Zhu Cihong drank too much, but Zhu Cihong's drinking capacity is usually not bad.

Only Zhaoren cast a blank glance at her imperial brother, she decided not to listen to his bragging when she was full, and dragged Qi Qige to watch the fireworks again.

"Then my father is back, do you want to promote my father?" Ling Feng knew that the person in front of him was the emperor, but he didn't know what the emperor did, he only knew that the emperor was very powerful.

Ling Feng's words caused the chopsticks in Sun Xiuxiu's hands to drop.

Tong Yan Wuji, this sentence is really not suitable for people in the county prince's mansion. Although Liu Hongjian has made great contributions, he is already the hereditary prince of the county.

Further up, what is there to do, Prince?

In the past 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, there have been only a handful of county kings with different surnames, and they are all just posthumous titles, princes with different surnames?Never heard of it!

Concubine Qin Guifei was also startled, but after thinking about it, she felt a little complacent. The emperor was most worried about the high meritorious service of his subjects, but any high-ranking minister, even if he won the battle, would like to transfer the credit to the emperor. Give it to others, otherwise it will be difficult to die well.

But the county prince's mansion is good. Not only does the whole family retreat bravely, but they even want to continue to rise. Could it be that you, the prince of Anguo, want to replace it?

Hehe, hehe.

"Aotian! If you talk nonsense again and go back, don't even think about going out!" Sun Xiuxiu said angrily.

She rarely lost her temper at home, but this time she was really angry.

She knows better than anyone else that the master of meritorious deeds is jealous, and it is for this reason that she seldom accepts invitations from other noble wives in the capital.Even the old man Liu Delong hardly dealt with courtiers and dignitaries. For a person with outstanding merit, the biggest barrier is to push all his subjects to the opposite of him.

Let the royal family know that this subject is wholeheartedly serving the country and doing things for him, so he does not hesitate to offend everyone in the government and the opposition.

Although Liu Hongjian didn't do it deliberately, but for the sake of the future of Ming Dynasty, he really offended high-level figures including nobles and courtiers once, oh no, twice.

But is it really okay to say this on this occasion?
Seeing that Xiao Aotian was taken aback, Empress Chen quickly smoothed things over in embarrassment. Fortunately, Ling Feng was very stubborn and did not cry from fright, but just lay down on the table and stopped talking.

But who would have thought that what Zhu Cihong said next shocked everyone again.

"It's time to be promoted, why shouldn't it be promoted? I have long wanted to make your father a prince!" Zhu Cihong stood up blushing and said to Liu Lingfeng.

Liu Lingfeng wanted to ask why he wasn't promoted, but he took a look at his mother's expression and decided to hold back what he was about to say.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that your father doesn't accept it, Aotian, your father is really lazy, even lazy than me." Zhu Cihong sighed and sat back on his seat.

"Your Majesty, you drank too much." Empress Chen stood up and poured Zhu Cihong a cup of tea to warn her.

"I didn't drink too much, I'm almost full. Tonight is New Year's Eve. I just came back from worshiping the Monument of Heroes this afternoon. When He Ping grows up next year, I will take him with me." Zhu Cihong felt sorry for him and pointed out Said with a glass of wine.

The soldiers guarding the border suffered too much. Although those days were short, Zhu Cihong really felt the pain.

Soldiers have to travel nearly a hundred miles every day when they go out to fight, and they just put up tents and sleep casually in the wilderness at night. When fighting, no one knows whether they can survive a war.

It is very likely that he will still brag in the tent tonight, and die in battle tomorrow, without even leaving a whole body.

Now he also suddenly understood why Liu Qing always told him that the emperor should go to the military camp to see, and it would be best to participate in a war.

Because only in this way can we truly understand what war is, what the cost of war is, and the real situation of soldiers.

The emperor should also go out to see his own civilians, so as to understand how difficult people's livelihood is. The emperor should also go to see the ocean and the civilization outside the ocean, instead of those who live in deep palaces and high walls.

Fortunately, he was still young, Zhu Cihong suddenly smiled and took another drink.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Brother Liu and I are friends in times of need. Brother Liu and the late emperor also cooperated sincerely and loved each other...father and son." Zhu Cihong said to Sun Xiuxiu with a smile.

When Ming Dynasty was most critical, it was Liu Hongjian who stepped forward to help the late emperor turn the tide. Zhu Cihong saw all this.

"Father had warned me before he died that I am not a cold person. As long as I am here, no one will be able to touch Liu Qing. This is my promise!"

He knew what Sun Xiuxiu was afraid of. Although it was nothing to him, what had to be said had to be said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I believe that if Daming is really at peace, my husband will definitely not miss his position." Sun Xiuxiu was very grateful to Zhu Cihong, but at the same time, she also had some strong trust in her husband.

"That can't be done. My sister-in-law has to help me persuade her when she goes back. Even if it's peaceful, she can't leave me. Otherwise, wouldn't I be too busy with such a large territory?"

Zhu Cihong couldn't sit still when he heard that, the current Daming is not five years ago, and the territory of Daming will almost double when the Raksha Kingdom is conquered. Japan for a long time.

Zhu Cihong could easily tell the blueprint that Liu Hongjian once drew for him, such as gold in North America, silver in South America, kangaroos in Australia, and rubber from the Incas. He didn't understand what was going on! ~Hiss—I dare not think about it.

Although he felt that his ability to handle government affairs had improved, after all, he was used to being supervised by others. If Liu Hongjian really retired in the future, it would be difficult for Zhu Cihong to accept it.

Sun Xiuxiu just smiled and didn't answer.

The capital was peaceful, and a heavy snow fell quietly in the capital late at night on New Year's Eve. The heavy snow heralds a good year, and the people in the establishment all said that the crops will definitely be a good harvest again next year.

And no one would have thought that thousands of miles away, the [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty were still fighting bloody battles in the severe cold.

No one would think that behind their peace, there are soldiers shielding them from the wind and rain, and the soldiers only want to give the motherland peace, and shoulder the burden that ordinary people are unwilling to bear.

Oh, to be exact, it should be [-].

　Thank you book friends for recalling the 500 taels rewarded for the rest of my life.
