Daming wolf ride

The voice was not loud, but when he heard the high-pitched dive, his scalp was numb, his palms were sweating, his head drooped, and he knelt there daring to speak.The eunuchs and maids in the palace were also terrified, everyone knew that the emperor was going to lose his temper.

"Why, don't you remember what you said?" Gao Qiqian's silence made Chongzhen even more annoyed, he stared at him motionlessly, his face was terribly cold.

Gao Qiqian, who had long guessed the emperor's temper, knew that the emperor would be really annoyed. He hesitated again and again, knowing that this test was inevitable, so he said in a low voice with fear: "The servant said that Pingkong thief should A quick decision must not be delayed, otherwise, Denglai will suffer."

"You do remember."

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, sneered, got up slowly, and asked in a still cold tone: "Quick battle and quick decision, okay, then why did the Kong bandits even fight against the bandits in Kelinyi, Shanghe, and Xincheng?" We have arrived in Qingzhou! Let me ask you, how did your army supervise? Did you try your best to do your job? How did you fight this battle?" [

"servant"

Gao Qiqian squeaked, and from the beginning of the answer, his face was full of shame.The fall of Shanghe, Xincheng and other prefectures and counties was completely caused by his underestimation of the enemy. Otherwise, how could Kong Youde's little army be able to spread across Hebei and Shandong.

Chongzhen snorted, ignored Gao Qiqian, but took a cup of tea from a court lady, the faint tea fragrance was refreshing, he smacked his lips lightly, and looked at the scene thoughtfully. It's just a sky blue Xuan kiln cup, with a cloudy expression on his face, he doesn't know what he's thinking.

Although Gao Qiqian had not served Chongzhen for a long time, he had a good grasp of Chongzhen's temperament, and he knew that Chongzhen didn't really blame him for delaying the military plane, but was beating himself, but the emperor But he is also a face-saving person, he never pretends to his ministers on the surface, and always waits for the ministers to speak out.

But Gao Qiqian couldn't kowtow like garlic, and then spoke generously, with a big guarantee, because he underestimated the strength of Kong Youde and Li Jiuzheng, the old generals of Liaodong, and he would be scared by those old generals of Liaodong. There is also some ambition before leaving Beijing.

Ever since he led the Beijing battalion out of Beijing, Gao Qiqian was eager to make contributions, and he wished to put down the rebellion in Hebei one day. He urged Zhu Dadian to supervise the troops to move quickly, intending to realize the "quick battle and quick decision" he said when he left Beijing. The [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp are really embroidered heads. As soon as they fought, the [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp were killed by the [-] rebels. Gao Qiqian's first supervision of the army is about to end in annihilation.

Relying on the remnants of the Beijing camp, Gao Qiqian couldn't fight this battle, but he couldn't fight it. Kong's bandit soldiers attacked Qingzhou.This is really unthinkable, Gao Qiqian hurried back to Beijing overnight, in order to ask Chongzhen for reinforcements.But the reinforcements he wanted could never be brought up by himself, he had to wait for the emperor to bring it up by himself, lest if the situation changed in the future and something happened there, he would not be able to bear the blame.

With such thoughts in mind, Gao Qiqian naturally didn't dare to speak easily, knelt there, lowered his head, and looked at Chongzhen secretly from time to time, so as to judge when he should speak out.

Zhao Quan and the few court ladies who were standing nearby were silent, they were all looking at Chongzhen's facial expression and his subtle movements of looking at the teacup.

Zhao Quan murmured in his heart, Eunuch Gao had lost the battle, he came back to plead guilty and ask for soldiers, but what the emperor did just now did not look like he wanted to punish Eunuch Gao, what is the emperor's intention?

The court ladies didn't see any instructions from Chongzhen to them, so they didn't dare to avoid them automatically.These court ladies don't need to wait for Chongzhen to speak, they will act according to any slight movement of his eyebrows, lips or beard, and will never make a mistake and be blamed.

Finally, when Chongzhen's eyes just left the teacup, a court lady immediately took a step forward, took the teacup with both hands holding a plate, and walked out carefully, and the rest of the court ladies all followed within a second or two. He stepped back and walked out without any sound of footsteps, and the huge Wenhua Palace was eerily quiet.

Now only Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian, and Zhao Quan are left in the palace.Chongzhen stood, Gao Qiqian knelt, and Zhao Quan stood there tiptoeing.

After being silent for a while, Chongzhen turned around, paced back and forth for a while, and then said to Gao Qiqian in a deep voice: "You know soldiers and have some experience, so I let you supervise the army. I thought, Asking you to supervise the soldiers to fight the hole bandits is a small test, but I didn't expect that you would do it like this. In fact, it doesn't matter if you lose the battle, but you shouldn't hide it from me. It took three days for the military intelligence to come up. It's not that I have other eyes and ears, I'm afraid you are keeping it in the dark now. Tell me, I am so angry!"

"Forgive me, my lord! Damn this servant!" Gao Qiqian hurriedly knocked his head on the ground, several times, his forehead was blood red.But in his heart, he scolded Cao Huachun like a dog. Why did he have eyes and ears? It wasn't the secret of his Dongchang people who secretly told him!

"Now I'm convicted, why didn't I know before." Chongzhen snorted, raised his hand, his expression eased a bit, then he changed the subject and said: "I am enthroned, you are the No. 1. I trust you, and put this burden in your hands. Not only I am watching, but also the outer court, and the people of the world are also watching. You have done your errands, and my face is bright, and the outer court is also watching. Confess. If you screw up, it’s not just the soldiers who died in battle, but even me, you know!”

"This servant failed the emperor, this servant deserves to die!" His Highness cried loudly, making people feel that this servant really repented.

Sure enough, Gao Qiqian's cry made Chongzhen very happy, he nodded slightly, and said lightly: "I didn't say that I would punish you, you are perfect, you used to talk about wars on paper, but this is the first time to do such an errand. I can't force you too much. However, after you go back, you have to be careful and deal with Denglai's matter quickly, and you must not disappoint me."

How could Gao Qiqian have the ability to settle the matter of Denglai quickly? He felt very bitter, but he had to express it when the emperor said so, so he still replied in a generous tone: "Slaves are willing to go through fire and water and die in battle. I will live up to the grace of the emperor who has supported me for many years.”[

Chongzhen nodded again, sat down on the dragon chair, and whispered: "Get up!"

Gao Qiqian kowtowed again, then stood up from the ground.On the one hand, Zhao Quan lit the palace lanterns. Under the bright lights, the tall and burly figure made people look sideways.If it weren't for the lack of a beard on his face, no matter how you look at it, he is a brave general.Although she is in her early forties, but because of her well-maintained skin and ruddy skin, she only looks like she is in her early thirties.

The door of the hall was closed tightly, although there was wind howling outside, but the lights in the hall did not shake at all, and the shadows reflected on the ground dragged long.

Seeing Gao Qiqian still standing there and refusing to leave, Chongzhen couldn't help saying: "Aren't you thankful?"

"Your Majesty" Gao Qiqian hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Kong's bandits are all former Liaodong generals, and they are extremely brave. Although the servants are not afraid of death, they are willing to go through fire and water for the emperor and die in battle, but the death of the servants is not a pity. If it is because of this mistake Even if the slaves and servants die thousands of times and hundreds of times, it is not a pity to die."

"Okay, what exactly do you want to say?" Chongzhen suddenly interrupted Gao Qiqian impatiently, he knew that the servant in front of him must have some intentions when he said so many words.

"The slave wants to say the slave wants to say"

If you don't speak again, you may not have the chance to speak again in the future.Taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "My Majesty, I think that if you want to put down the Kong bandits, you must use the Liao soldiers to control the Liao soldiers!"
