Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Because Eunuch Qin is an old man of Xinwangfu, he now has a high status among the eunuchs, and he has long been in the Supervisor of Ceremonies.Therefore, it is not necessary for him to go out to pass the decree to go out of Beijing.But this time, Chongzhen specially sent Eunuch Qin to Qin Liangyu to preach the decree, which just showed Chongzhen's kind of holy family to Qin Liangyu.

Because at this time.None of the civil servants sent by the imperial court to Luanzhou City had arrived yet, so when they learned that the eunuch delivering the decree was going to pass through Luanzhou City, the highest officials in Luanzhou City—Wu Shigong and Qin Qianhu were ten miles away from the city to meet him. .

When Eunuch Qin's car arrived, both Wu Shigong and Qin Qianhu would kneel down to greet him.But just when they were about to kneel down, Eunuch Qin, who had just come out of the carriage, immediately stopped them.Moreover, he said affectionately to Wu Shigong: "Wu Qianhu, it's been three years since we left the capital, do you still remember Zajia?"

Wu Shigong took a closer look and found that the eunuch delivering the decree was Eunuch Qin, and immediately cupped his hands in surprise and said, "I didn't expect it was you, brother Qin! Brother, after I arrive at Guide Mansion, I miss you old brothers."

Seeing Wu Shigong revealed his true feelings, and Eunuch Qin laughed "haha".In particular, Wu Shigong called Eunuch Qin "Brother Qin", and Eunuch Qin was very useful after hearing this.

After Qin Qianhu saluted Eunuch Qin, the group walked towards Luanzhou City.It was near noon at this time, and Eunuch Qin was just passing by, so he continued on his way after having lunch in Luanzhou City.Because there are no residents in Luanzhou City, Wu Shigong led Eunuch Qin to his camp.

Just two steps away, Eunuch Qin was on the carriage, beckoning mysteriously to Wu Shigong who was riding beside him, and Wu Shigong rode close to the carriage curiously.Eunuch Qin smiled and pointed to the carriage at the back. Wu Shigong looked back, the curtain of the carriage was opened a slit, revealing a pretty face from inside. Isn't that his wife Xue Yufei?

How did Xue Yufei come to Luanzhou City with Eunuch Qin?Wu Shigong was a little confused.But it’s not easy to ask too many questions on the road.Wu Shigong had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart.

Along the way, Xue Yufei frequently opened the curtain on the carriage behind to watch Wu Shigong's back.Wu Shigong also felt that his wife had been watching him.So, when Xue Yufei opened the curtain once, Wu Shigong turned around and made a face, which caused a burst of laughter like silver bells in the carriage.

Eunuch Qin and his party entered the big camp. After everyone got off their horses, they all put away the expressions on their faces. They all looked at an open space on the right side of the big camp.In that open space, more than 100 coffins of Wu Shigong's dead soldiers were placed.

Wu Shigong pointed to those coffins and said to Eunuch Qin: "Brother Qin, these are the sons of our Thousand Households who died this time. I want to take them all back to their hometown. There are more sons who died at the Qin Zongbing. And Some, when they attacked Luanzhou City, there were no bones left when they were burned by thousands of enemies."

Eunuch Qin stared at the coffins for a while, clasped his hands together, and bowed to salute.The entourage behind Eunuch Qin also saluted.Eunuch Qin silently recited a scripture.Many eunuchs in this palace believe in Buddhism.After that, Eunuch Qin let out a long sigh, and followed Wu Shigong into the big tent.

In the big tent, the banquet has already been arranged.Seeing that Wu Shigong and Eunuch Qin were old acquaintances, Qin Qianhu was very knowledgeable and asked Wu Shigong and Eunuch Qin to have a banquet alone.I went outside to entertain Eunuch Qin's entourage.

When Wu Shigong saw Xue Yufei getting off the carriage behind him, he waved to Xue Yufei and asked Xue Yufei to enter the big tent to accompany Eunuch Qin.This move made Eunuch Qin even more satisfied, because in the Ming Dynasty, only very close friends would let their family members come out to accompany the guests.Moreover, Xue Yufei's status is quite high.

After the two of them sat down, they drank a glass of wine without formality. Eunuch Qin said: "This time the Tartars entered the customs, the emperor has not had a good night's sleep. It made us slaves feel distressed. It's just After recovering the four cities of Yongping and defeating the Tartars this time, the emperor had some smiles on his face."

"So this time when I went to Beijing to pass the decree, the Zajia asked for this job, and I wanted to meet these heroes of our Ming Dynasty. Not afraid of brother Wu's jokes, when I left Beijing, the Zajia gave 50 taels of silver to each of the children around me , I just don’t want them to make things difficult for you, Brother Wu.”

What Eunuch Qin said made Wu Shigong laugh.Wu Shigong raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Then let's toast Brother Qin again. But, why did Jiannei follow Brother Qin this time?"

Eunuch Qin said ostentatiously: "This time General Qin's tribute memorial also has Brother Wu's name on it. The miscellaneous family also told the emperor about Brother Wu's identity."

Seeing Wu Shigong's face changed slightly, Eunuch Qin continued: "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family also know what you're thinking. This time Yuan Ni colluded with the Tartars, and the emperor also knew that civil servants are unreliable. The emperor still treats your Xue family with respect." Graceful. Do you think the emperor will not know about the miscellaneous family bringing your lady to see you?"

What Eunuch Qin said, he only said half a sentence without explaining it thoroughly.Wu Shigong didn't fully understand either.However, although Xue Yufei begged Eunuch Qin to take her to Luanzhou City this time, Eunuch Qin must have told Wang Chengen about this, and Emperor Chongzhen certainly knew about it.

The reason why they all acquiesced was that when Wang Chengen told Emperor Chongzhen about this matter, he vaguely revealed that the civil servants were unreliable, and that Xungui would never betray Chongzhen because he lived with the country. Emperor's.This statement just fits the current state of mind of Emperor Chongzhen.

The purpose of Wang Cheng'en's help was to make Emperor Chongzhen feel that the interests of the nobles were tied to the interests of the emperor, and the eunuchs, who were close friends of the emperor, were even more tied to the interests of the emperor.He wanted Emperor Chongzhen to attach importance to their eunuchs.

However, although Wu Shigong and his wife didn't fully understand the meaning, Xue Yufei still stood up and said to Eunuch Qin, "Thank you, Eunuch Qin."

Eunuch Qin quickly stood up and returned the salute.After all, Xue Yufei is the daughter of the Xue family, Eunuch Qin did not dare to be rude.

Seeing that the two of them exchanged courtesy, Wu Shigong smiled and said: "Don't be too polite. We are a family, everyone, sit down and drink."

"Yes, we are all family." As an eunuch, Eunuch Qin especially wanted a sincere friend, just like Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian at that time.Eunuch Qin said to Wu Shigong with a smile: "Here, let me tell you something that should not be spread out. Brother Wu has also made a contribution this time, and he is about to be promoted. Here, the miscellaneous family will congratulate first."

"Oh? Where do you want to be an official?" Wu Shigong asked curiously.

"Don't worry, the prince and the miscellaneous family are nostalgic for the past. You will not be allowed to go to the border or the barbarian land. You still stay in Henan. But you will definitely not stay in the Guide Mansion, because the Guide Mansion already has It’s a guard. But the miscellaneous family really doesn’t know where you went.”

Wu Shigong thought about it for a second, it would be nice to stay in Henan, anyway, all of his thousands of households had his apprentice Tao Xin.

After that, Eunuch Qin and Wu Shigong chatted about their experiences over the years.He sighed all the time.When talking about the time when they were together in Nancheng, Wu Shigong suddenly thought of Li Pengfei, a thousand householder from Jinyiwei at that time.

So he said to Eunuch Qin: "Do you still remember Li Qianhu who was in Jinyiwei in Nancheng? He is also in Henan now, and he is a bit miserable now."

Eunuch Qin was very curious. After learning about Li Pengfei's recent situation, he said to Wu Shigong: "Li Qianhu was also very straightforward at the time. He also helped the Zajia. In this way, the Zajia and Commander Luo (Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei) ) say, arrange a good position for him.”

After the pleasant luncheon, Wu Shigong quietly gave Eunuch Qin a land deed of [-] mu in Luanzhou City, and asked Eunuch Qin to bring Wang Chengen a land deed of [-] mu.Eunuch Qin also accepted it with a smile on his face.

Eunuch Qin left the camp after the luncheon, he left Xue Yufei by Wu Shigong's side, and brought Xue Yufei back to Beijing when Eunuch Qin returned.

After sending off Eunuch Qin, Wu Shigong returned to his big tent, and when he entered the big tent, he was surprised to find that Xue Yufei was sitting on a chair in the middle of the big tent, and standing behind her was Mei Yun who was serving Xue Yufei on this trip.And standing in front of Xue Yufei was Qiongniang.

Xue Yufei also ignored Wu Shigong, her expression was very solemn, she asked Qiongniang, "What's your name?"

Qiongniang replied with a blessing: "My slave's name is Qiongniang."

"Qiongniang, after you enter our Xue family, you must abide by the rules of our family. You must serve your husband well. Mei Yun, go to the box and get her a pair of gold bracelets as a gift from me."

Mei Yun quickly agreed, took out the gold bracelet, and handed it to Qiongniang.After Qiongniang took it, she thanked her again.

The more Wu Shigong looked at the situation, the more wrong it became. This oolong was a bit of a mess.Just as he stretched out his right hand to stop him, he saw Qiongniang hesitate for a moment, poured a cup of tea to the side, knelt down and respected Xue Yufei.Xue Yufei took a sip of the offered tea.

In fact, Qiongniang had already discovered that Wu Shigong had entered the big tent at this time, so when she knelt down, her cheeks were slightly red.Qiong Niang has basically been raised these days, so her face looks even more beautiful.

Wu Shigong looked at Qiongniang, and after several efforts, he didn't make a sound in the end.Is this a beautiful misunderstanding?Anyway, Wu Shigong welcomes this kind of misunderstanding.You said, do all men have this kind of virtue?
