Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 62

After sending Shi Kefa away, Zhu Yousong felt that there was no time to delay, and he had to deal with Huang Chuangzi's matter.

According to the original plan, this trip is dangerous, but if you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Fortunately, after Zhu Yousong experienced the Jinyi riot and the sword killing of Ma Luan, he has already developed his courage. On the battlefield of horses, he will also straddle horses and kill without frowning.

Hall of Martial Arts.The supervisor of ceremonies knelt down in front of Zhu Yousong, "but I don't know how much the emperor plans to pay Huang Degong this time?"

Zhu Yousong had thought about it a long time ago, and said flatly, "100 taels of silver."

"100 taels?" Li Guofu's fat face froze, staring at Zhu Yousong, thinking that he had heard it wrong, he couldn't help repeating.

"Yeah." Zhu Yousong nodded seriously, "This is out of my own pocket, and 100 taels of silver is quite a lot."

"Oh, yes, yes, the emperor said yes. What about the food, how many ten thousand stones are you going to give him?"

"How many ten thousand shi? Now that the national treasury is in short supply, how can there be any extra food for them? There is not enough food for disaster relief. I also have money and no food in my internal funds. Let them buy it themselves." Zhu Yousong spread his hands.

"Your Majesty is holy." Li Guofu agreed, but he didn't dare to be happy. He secretly thought that the emperor was joking. Huang Degong had 100 soldiers, and he was asked for food by the family. He only gave him 100 taels of silver, and the food was a stone. No, this is also called grain rate?Doesn't agreeing to give this mean not giving it, let them buy it themselves, how much can [-] taels of silver buy?
Huang Degong is also Lord Hou at any rate, but he is short of the 100 taels of silver. Isn't it a pleasure to find it?But all the promises have been sent out?The emperor is not a stingy person, there are thousands of soldiers in Suizhou, and the emperor's hand is worth 100 million taels, what's the matter today?It is estimated that they plan to collect food and pay halfway.

But Li Guofu was thinking wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth, and played again: "But I don't know who the emperor plans to send to escort this batch of food and salaries for the angel officer?"

Zhu Yousong smiled, "Naturally, it's Your Excellency and Rijian."

"Ah... the slave is leading the decree." Li Guofu felt like he was sweating, and said to my mother, let our family and General Zheng send 100 taels of silver to Chuzhou with the imperial decree. The master who says to fight, it is said that Huang Chuangzi will not die in a war, and kills without blinking an eye. If he wants to stare, he must cut us to pieces, but the emperor said that he dared not bargain, so he hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Yousong didn't say much, and immediately reported to Zheng Hongkui.

After Zheng Hongkui came in to kowtow to Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong gave Zheng Hongkui the prepared list of food and salaries. The commander of Jinyiwei and the admiral of the Beijing camp was a little dumbfounded when he saw the list. On the huge piece of paper, it was written: The payment is 100 taels of silver.

Zheng Hongkui secretly wondered if he should write the word "ten thousand" less, it should be 100 million taels, right?

"Why, Rihong doesn't want to receive the edict?" Seeing Zheng Hongkui's hesitation, Zhu Yousong asked him.

"I dare not make mistakes even if I am scared to death." Zheng Hongkui quickly knelt down.

At this time, Zhu Yousong sent all the irrelevant maids and inner eunuchs away, and let Zheng Hongkui lay down. Seeing Li Guofu and Zheng Hongkui's unbelievable faces, Zhu Yousong patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will be with you this time." Let’s go, but I’m your general, remember, when I leave Miyagi, my name will be Zhu Tian.”

Hearing this, Li Guofu felt comforted in his heart, and it would be easy if the emperor was with him.He knew that Zhu Yousong was now the Emperor of Kung Fu. He flew across the Zuhai with a good martial arts skill, and slashed Ma Luan, the most powerful Jinyiwei master with a sword. If he brought more personal guards, Huang Chuangzi would not be happy Don't dare to make mistakes.So he said: "How many soldiers and horses will the emperor plan to bring for this trip to Chuzhou?"

"Three thousand."

Zhu Yousong said it as naturally as drinking water, but Li Guofu and Zheng Hongkui were so shocked that they gave 100 taels of silver. The emperor wanted to disguise himself and go to Huang Degong's old lair, which supported his own self-respect. He only brought 3000 troops. Wan Xiongbing, what if there is something important to do?

The two knew that this trip to Chuzhou was of great significance. The emperor was not just sending food and salaries to Huang Degong. , Advised: "Your Majesty, how can this be done? Eunuch Li and my ministers are enough for the trip to Chuzhou."

"Yes, my lord, my lord is a man of gold, how can I leave Beijing so easily?" Li Guofu followed suit, but if the emperor didn't come to Chuzhou, this trip made him really willing or afraid to go.

Zhu Yousong stopped them with a wave of his hand, "This matter should not be publicized, and we will start tomorrow morning."

Knowing Zhu Yousong's temper, the two dared not persuade him anymore.

"General Zheng, please stay." After withdrawing from the emperor, Li Guofu caught up with Zheng Hongkui.

"Elder-in-law, what instructions do you have?" Zheng Hongkui stopped and cupped his hands.

Li Guofu looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Huang Degong has a rough nature, kills people like hemp, and his subordinates are all desperadoes, and they are neglectful of management. Our family has a bad feeling about going to Chuzhou. You and I have a cheap life, it is not worth mentioning, but what happened in Chuzhou is related to the emperor's safety, our family has to talk about it, we have to think of a way."

Compared with Zhu Yousong, the inspector of ceremonies and the handprint of the imperial horse inspector are more worried about the safety of the emperor, even more important than his own life. Once the emperor has something to do, his eunuch's blessing will come to an end, not to mention others, the Donglin Party and Fushe people will not let him go, Han Zanzhou of the current dynasty and Wei Zhongxian of the previous dynasty are living examples.

"What Eunuch said is very true, but Eunuch knows His Majesty's temper, once a decision is made, there is no one to persuade him." Zheng Hongkui looked helpless.

"Well, let's go see Mr. Gaoge together, he is a soldier, maybe he has a way."

Gao Hongtu, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was also shocked for a long time after hearing what the two said, secretly thinking, from the scene of the Jinyi riots to the governor's mansion and the empress's presence in the town, the emperor's courage is really getting bigger and bigger!
Although Gao Hongtu didn't like these eunuchs with power over the government and the public, but it was related to the safety of the emperor, so he had to lead the two into the secret room. An Lin, the returning imperial horse supervisor, cooperated with him, and the Beijing battalion and navy battalion were ready. If something happened, the [-] cavalry battalion would rush to Chuzhou as the vanguard within two hours to rescue King Qin. The remaining [-] Beijing battalion soldiers and navy The battalion will also arrive within a day as backup.But this matter should be kept a secret.Li Guofu told them that even the queen didn't know the inside story, so Gao Hongtu certainly knew how to keep it a secret.

After the agreement, the three of them split up and prepared to go.

　Dear friends, the past few days have been the party building and going to the countryside to help the poor. I was still in the village after [-] o'clock last night. yes sorry.
