golden scales

The emperor took care of everything, or thought he was doing everything, so he would ignore many "little things".

The so-called trivial matter is that Yan Shenggong was ransacked so innocently, it was just a breeze in the emperor's ears, and he couldn't think of it in a hurry.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered the matter of Yansheng Gong's mansion through Luo Yukun, and wanted to reward some property in the name of the Tian family as a consolation.Unexpectedly, Luo Yukun actually returned all the property he had obtained. In this case, he would save himself.Thinking of this, Chongzhen's already good mood became clearer. In this current situation, what can be saved is what is earned, and the money is really not enough.

"Sometimes your highness doesn't even have enough money to start a business in the palace, so your highness has to go to the army to have a big meal."

When Chongzhen thought of Wang Chengen telling himself the news with tears streaming down his face, his heart was extremely heavy.However, he looked back and saw that the quality of life between himself and the empresses in the palaces had not declined much, and he felt more and more the filial piety of his son.But his son never showed anything in front of him, this is true filial piety!

Thoughts drifted to filial piety, Chongzhen inevitably wanted to fulfill his son's wish...he couldn't help in calming the world, the next best thing seemed to be a big wedding.My son is seventeen or eighteen years old and has never been served by anyone. Obviously he is not feminine, so he hopes to get married as soon as possible, in the final analysis, it is out of filial piety.

——Too sensible!

Chongzhen was thinking in a daze, and fell into a deep emotion.

Zhu Cihong thought that his father would go back after he came to ask for news, but seeing that the emperor didn't intend to get up and drive back to the palace, he couldn't go away to do his own business out of etiquette, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay by his side.

At this time, it was Kunxing who brought his two younger brothers to make a rescue.

"Brother Huang, what's the matter with the colorful flags on the sand table?" Kun Xing walked behind Zhu Cihong, tugged at the hem of Zhu Cihong's clothes, and winked quietly, clearly asking for credit.

Zhu Cihong bowed to his father.Ignoring King Ding's face of being owed money and King Yong's slightly terrified expression, he led his siblings to the big sand table, and said, "These triangular colored flags are the Eight Banners of the Eastern Captives. There are eight kinds of blue. My national color of Ming Dynasty is vermilion, in order to distinguish it from the red flag of Donglu Zheng. The square flag is used.”

Kun Xing knew very little about the military affairs, and lacked interest. He glanced at the sand table, but couldn't ask any questions, so he winked at Brother Huang and motioned: "Sister, I can only help you here."

King Ding already looked a little impatient, but King Yong, who had just started to grow, lay on the table, staring at the hills and rivers that had shrunk by countless times, and asked with great interest: "Brother Huang. Here is a banner, is there a team?"

"Exactly."

"Brother Huang, then we don't seem to have as many people as Donglu..."

"Yes, but we have our own advantages." Zhu Cihong said: "War is to exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, and attack the enemy's weaknesses."

King Yong seemed to understand, cautiously stretched out his finger, lit a small flag, and said: "Brother Huang, how come our troops are behind the enemy?"

It was Zuo Shouyi's special investigation camp that King Yong pointed to.

"Eastern captives only know how to fight from the front, but they don't know the art of war: those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens. Once a war starts, they have to attack the enemy everywhere regardless of direction. How can they only focus on the formation in front of them?" Zhu Cihong He didn't treat King Yong like a child, and saw a staff officer stop what he was doing and eavesdrop, so he raised his volume a bit.Dao: "The dignified formation is certainly to destroy the enemy's foundation, but the harassment in the enemy's rear will make the enemy lose the will to fight and destroy its supply reserves. This is also a very important way to win."

"Therefore, to use troops to fight, first of all, we must destroy the enemy's fighting spirit and make the army's morale unstable; secondly, we must fight in a roundabout way, cut off the enemy's food roads and attack their storage, making them unbearable to fight for a long time; The enemy. Only by fighting these three together can we get a glimpse of the way to victory. Now the Eastern Captives only know how to attack the city, and they have already lost the first two games, so they are not far from the day of destruction." Zhu Cihong can be regarded as this An outline was set for the staff officers. If you want to launch a big battle, you must have these three battlefield preparations, otherwise you can't pass it.

Although Yong Wang didn't know it, he was aware of the advantages and disadvantages of it, and he was even more interested. He asked professional questions such as the paths of the mountains and rivers, how to arrange them, and so on.Zhu Cilang simply hired a staff officer to explain to him the formation of the army, how to set up camp, how to cross the river, and how to set up an army before a battle.

Although Kunxing and King Ding were also listening, they were a little distracted, and only King Yong interrupted from time to time to ask questions.

Zhu Cihong finally got this convenience to review documents and listen to reports from various ministries, and soon forgot about the emperor and his three younger siblings.It wasn't until Emperor Chongzhen drove back to the palace that the children had to be sent to the steps of the palace, and then Zhu Cihong was dragged out again.

As soon as the emperor left, Kunxing and King Ding hurriedly left as if they had been pardoned.King Yong really wanted to stay a little longer and explore the mysteries of the army formation.

"You just stay here, listen more, talk less, remember what you don't understand, and ask the staff members privately after work." Zhu Cihong said.

King Yong was secretly happy, but said with a bitter face: "But Brother Huang, I have to practice calligraphy this afternoon."

"I will tell the gentlemen that your homework for calligraphy practice will be reduced by half in the future, but you must do morning exercises with the staff." Zhu Cihong said.

King Yong was very excited, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Huang!"

The education of the prince of the Tian family is by no means like raising pigs as the Manqing said.At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen not only selected the talented Jinshi headed by Fang Yizhi as the teachers of the two kings Ding and Yong, but also personally assigned them homework.A teenager in his early teens practiced [-] calligraphy every day, and it took almost two hours. If he was not interested, it would definitely be a torment.

Zhu Cihong firmly believes that interest is the best teacher. Since King Yong is interested in military affairs, it is no problem to give the green light.What's more, father and son soldiers, brothers fighting tigers, the royal family must not leave the army if they want to maintain a lasting influence in the army.

Because of the soul of the previous life, Zhu Cihong looked at Kunxing as if he was looking at his daughter. Now that he decided to take over Yongwang Cizheng's education, it seemed like he had an extra son.This feeling made Zhu Cihong a little awkward, but the so-called "elder brother is like a father", in this era, it is also the duty of elder brothers to treat siblings as children.

When Emperor Chongzhen learned that Cihong was going to teach his younger brother the art of war himself, he was relieved but also worried.He knew that at the age of 13, Yong Wang Cizhen could not have the intention of usurping.What's more, Concubine Tian has already passed away, leaving only such a son, without foreign aid and internal support, it is impossible to pose a threat to the crown prince's status.

But what if Cihong... has no heirs.Then King Yong, who knows how to fight, will pose a threat to the second son, King Ding.

Although Chongzhen loved Concubine Tian a lot, he would not empathize with Cizheng, let alone affect the national policy.He wanted Yongwang Cizheng to be trusted and reused by the Crown Prince and become a successful vassal, but he did not want the stability of the Tian family and the country to be affected.

——This is simply a difficult problem!Why does Cihong have such a talent, yet often make these ill-considered decisions!

Chongzhen sat on the dragon bed and couldn't help sighing.

After a week, I found out why.Of course, she doesn't want Concubine Tian's son to threaten her own son.She just thought about it, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Let Brother Chun get married as soon as possible, and when you have the emperor's grandson, naturally everything will be fine." As a mother, Zhou Hou never forgot Zhu Cihong wished to get married as soon as possible.

Chongzhen also thought about it: if there is an emperor's grandson, then Cihong will pass on the throne of emperor to the emperor's grandson even if there is no holiday.

but……

"The omen is not good." Chongzhen said simply.

Zhou Hou was taken aback for a moment, and also hesitated.

At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao also passed on the throne to Emperor Jianwen, the emperor's grandson, but in the end he was robbed of the world by his uncle.The so-called Fengtianjing difficult battle.

Originally, it was to solve the problem of King Yong, but don't make a second Jing Nan in the end.

"Simply don't let Yongwang learn the art of war." Zhou Hou resorted to his trump card: "Isn't Brother Chun in the law and politics school? Study law and civil affairs, and you can still help Brother Chun in the feudal kingdom in the future. Why bother joining the army?" ? Even Brother Chun, the concubine doesn’t want him to be contaminated in the army, it hurts to see him.”

Chongzhen frowned and thought for a while, then simply pushed the question away and said, "Go and talk to Brother Chun."

Queen Zhou refused to delay at all on this issue.When Zhu Cihong came to visit the province early the next morning, he stopped his son to talk.It has almost been pointed out that King Yong is not allowed to touch the military power.

Zhu Cihong soon realized that this was her parents' protection of her status, but she couldn't laugh or cry.

Is there anything better for brainwashing than a barracks these days?Even the schools are just cramming moral standards, only in the barracks, from the inside out, from the point to the surface, the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor is soaked into every inch of everyone's heart without interruption and without dead ends!Not to mention that King Yong is only 13 years old, even if he is 30 years old, entering the military camp will change his original worldview.He followed Zhu Cihong wholeheartedly.

——It's no wonder that the queen mother is worried, and her old man has never heard of pyramid schemes.

Zhu Cihong didn't know how to explain it, so he simply skipped this question.

"Your subjects are in their prime, why should adults worry too much?" Zhu Cihong was even more puzzled by this question: Could it be that Zhu Shi has some genetic disease that he doesn't know about?

He quickly ran through the lifespans of his ancestors: Emperor Taizu Gao died at 71, and Chengzu died at 65.They are all long-lived.However, none of the seven emperors from Renzong to Wuzong lived past the age of 50.Except for Renzong who lived to 47 and Xianzong who lived to 41, the other five emperors died prematurely before they even reached forty.

From this point of view, it seems that the longevity gene degeneration is very serious!

For the first time, Zhu Cihong was a little worried about his life expectancy. In his plan, he had to live beyond fifty to complete the big project of revitalizing Daming.

However, Emperor Sejong Jiajing ate so many pills rich in heavy metals, and still lived to his sixtieth year.Shenzong dragged his body fat, and he also survived to 58.As for Mu Zong, who only lived to 36, it was because of years of depression that he suffocated to death.Guangzong and Xizong died of untimely fates before their end of life.

From this point of view, the Zhu family should have no genetic problems.

Zhu Cihong said: "My son is now in good health. Although he occasionally suffers from minor illnesses, the military and state affairs are really heavy, and he is too young to bear the burden. When he gets older, he will exercise more frequently, adjust his work and rest, go to bed early and get up early, so he will naturally be free from illness and disease." disaster."

"Of course." Zhou Hou said so, but there was still a little haze in his heart. (To be continued..)
