Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 632: Liu Jin, who had been trained since childhood to aid the Japanese invaders in Korea, became disheartened
Ningxiang waved her hands in embarrassment: "That one is called milk tea, and it was invented by the Holy One, but you can't drink the one in this pot. There's something wrong with the source of its ingredients.

Ask Wang Ying to come over another day, and I will teach her how to do it. Then go back and ask her to do it for you. "

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing, and he quickly stood up and confessed.

Ningxiang continued to ask: "How is this marriage that I arranged for you? It's been a long time since we got married. Are you still satisfied with Wang Yingke?"

Liu Chang frowned: "Thanks to my empress, Wang Yingren is quite good, but she is shy. It's okay for her to be afraid of strangers. Even when she gets along with me, she always has a feeling of awe. Ordinarily the Duke's Granddaughter, this shouldn’t be the case.”

Ningxiang glared at Liu Chang as if she hated the iron, and said, "You were born in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed. Isn't it bad for women to be shy and introverted? Our Lord likes the tone of Xiaojiabiyu.

Think about it, Duke Yue took the blame for Xuan Temple's abandonment of Annan. He was deprived of his title and imprisoned in the third year of Xuande. He was imprisoned until the fourth year of Zhengtong before he was released as a civilian.

In other words, although Wang Ying was the granddaughter of the Duke of Yue, from the time she was born until the 14th year of Zhengtong, she was still a little girl from a commoner family.

It was after the Holy Emperor came to power that the public family of Yue State was revived.So it's normal for Wang Ying to be Xiaojiabiyu, and it's not easy for her. You should love and tolerate her more.

Let her come to Changle Palace to play more later, and we can take care of her. "

Liu Chang asked in embarrassment: "The Shenshu Camp was recently established, and all the pro-army troops were scrambling to send their children in. In the end, there was an endless stream of people asking for help here.

It is difficult for the general to refuse them, nor to open the door for them, and it is also difficult to complain to the saint about this kind of thing.

Please also ask the empress to give you some clear directions. "

Ningxiang smiled and said: "It's not easy to be the commander of an army. Nan and Hou Fangying also became honest a while ago."

Liu Chang nodded repeatedly: "I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Tens of thousands of troops have made things difficult for us. I really don't know how the Holy One can manage such a large empire in an orderly manner."

Ningxiang waved her hand: "Your Majesty was also embarrassed and couldn't sleep all night. Just tell them about Shenshu Camp. In the spring of next year, the young men in the camp who have been trained will also go to North Korea and Japan to fight for blood. kill.

Even if you are young and enter the Shenshu Camp, you will have to go to the battlefield in a few years.

The Crown Prince's Shenshu Camp is different from the imperial army's vanguard in the Xuan Temple. It is not a place for everyone to come and enjoy themselves. "

Liu Chang nodded: "This is a good idea, but..."

Ningxiang replied understandingly: "Just say this is the Holy One's will. Let the Holy One do anything that offends others. I will tell you what I will tell you when I go back."

Liu Chang was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him when he got up.

Ningxiang quickly stopped herself with a weak hand, and the two chatted a few more words. At this moment, an old eunuch came over holding a document, and there was also a little eunuch walking four or five steps beside him.

Seeing four people in the pavilion, the old eunuch quickly brought the young eunuch over and knelt down to salute.

Ningxiang asked curiously: "Normally no one sends documents to Qingyun Pavilion. Do you have any urgent report?"

The old eunuch replied: "This old slave is Liu Hong, the superintendent of ceremonies. He is here to deliver military reports from North Korea. He also has hidden secrets that he wants to report to the Holy One."

In fact, the old eunuch Liu Hong was originally going to deliver documents to Feng Pavilion, but he saw Empress Ningxiang taking the eunuchs Pei Dang and Chen Lin to Qingyun Pavilion from a distance, so he followed her to try his luck.

Ningxiang followed Zhu Qiyu to Fengtianmen many times to attend banquets, so as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, Liu Hong naturally recognized this beloved concubine.

Everyone in the government and the public knew that the prince's biological mother, Lin Xiangyu, was the emperor's first favorite concubine, and the empress Ningxiang in front of her was the second favorite concubine.

The first favorite concubine rarely shows up, and everyone has no way to curry favor with her.Therefore, all the eunuchs in the inner court dreamed of striking up a conversation with their second favorite concubine.

Ningxiang was very polite to everyone, and immediately ordered: "Leave the documents to me. You are just here to deliver the documents, why is there a little baby next to you?"

Liu Hong replied: "I dare not lie to you, the old slave is old and faint, and he will not be able to work in another two years. The man next to me is the adopted son of the old slave, named Liu Jin.

The old slave took him with him because he wanted to build connections and see if he could find a job for him.In the future, the old slaves will all point to him to take care of themselves until they die. Ningxiang nodded: "What secret report do you want to report to the Holy One?" "

Liu Hong replied: "The old slave has a nephew who has no future and is a prodigal. Later, his family was completely ruined by him. In order to avoid debts, he went to Japan and Korea to become a pirate.

I didn’t expect that after 20 years, I would actually become famous at sea.

He has some contacts with many powerful people in Japan and is very familiar with Japan's customs.The old slave thought about asking Chen Shengshang to see if he could get his nephew to contribute to the Ming Dynasty. "

Ningxiang nodded: "If your nephew is patriotic, the Holy Emperor needs such talents. You are responsible for communicating with your nephew and report directly to Pei Dang in the future."

After that, Ningxiang beckoned little Liu Jin to come to her, looked at her carefully, and then smiled at Liu Hong and said: "He is a smart and clever child, he is very popular. I will recognize him as Pei from now on." How about staying in Siyuanjian and growing vegetables with me under my name?"

Liu Hongda was overjoyed and quickly took little Liu Jin to kowtow like pounding garlic.Although Empress Ningxiang joked about growing vegetables together, who among the senior eunuchs with some qualifications didn't know that although Siyuan eunuch didn't have the name of West Factory, he actually had the status of West Factory.

After sending away Liu Hong and Liu Jin, Ningxiang brought Pei Dang and Chen Lin to Qingyun Pavilion.

Just as the monarch and his ministers had finished talking about business, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the couch, took the iced milk tea from Ningxiang's hand, took a sip happily, and smiled at Zhang Ning and Wu Zhong:
"You all have a try of the snacks made by your wife yourself, which are not easily available for ordinary people."

Zhang Ning and Wu Zhong quickly thanked them.The monarch and his ministers chatted some more to deepen their feelings, and then they dispersed.

Returning to Qingliang Hall, after dinner, Zhu Qiyu hugged Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang for a nap.

Ningxiang told the whole story about Guanxin Pavilion, and Zhu Qiyu secretly marveled that Zhu Houzhao's confidant, the eunuch Liu Jin, could have gotten into his side?This world is really wonderful.

Judging by age, this Liu Jin should be the same Liu Jin.

……

On July [-]th, Pyongyang was bustling with activity.

Anguo Gong Xu Heng and Dingguo Gong Xu Yongning arrived in Pyongyang with [-] warriors and soldiers. At this point, all the [-] additional elites sent by the emperor had arrived.

The morale of the Ming army in Pyongyang was greatly boosted.

At this time, Fang Ying had already led troops to Anbian, and Jiang Yuan welcomed Xu Heng and Xu Yongning into the city.

The three of them exchanged a few words and then talked about military affairs.

Jiang Yuan first said: "It's very strange recently. The Japanese army seems to be making strange movements."

Xu Heng asked: "What happened?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "I can't really tell. It's just that it's a little different from the previous offensive. I always have the feeling that the Japanese army is distracted and wants to run away."

Xu Heng felt strange after hearing this: "Normally, since so many people died in Japan and North Korea in the last war, the pressure on food and grass should have been greatly reduced.

They have enough food and grass, and Kaesong and Seoul are also impregnable, so what can they do to escape? "

Xu Yongning answered: "Could it be that something happened in Japan?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at Xu Yongning in surprise. The young prince immediately pointed out the key point. He also thought for a long time and came to the conclusion that something had happened in Japan.

Duke Dingguo was able to think of it in such a short time, which was considered a quick thinker. No wonder the emperor wanted to cultivate him.

Jiang Yuan was also a little convinced. Zhang Ning and Wuzhong, who had been recalled to report on their duties before, were the Holy Masters who had a sharp eye for people. After they left, another young talent, Jun Dingguo Duke Xu Yongning, came. This Holy Master was really good at recruiting talents.

Moreover, Duke Dingguo was accepted as a confidant by the Holy Emperor when he was only ten years old, and he began to train him from an early age.
