Chapter 153: Three battles and three victories
There is a cat room in the palace. As the name suggests, it was set up by Zhu Youzhao to raise cats, because this thing is fine and it is too stress-free.
Before the Ming Dynasty, many people in the palace kept cats, called palace cats. In the Ming Dynasty, raising "palace cats" was the pinnacle.
The cat room has been available since Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is said that Empress Ma also likes to masturbate.
However, at the beginning, there were only three or four close servants who raised cats for the ladies of each palace to comfort the loneliness of the girls in the harem.
When Zhu Youxiao first came through time, he saw that the cat was so fond of it. After he was crowned the queen, Zhang Yan happened to love cats, so there was always a "blue cat" in the palace.
The emperor and the empress had a common interest, and the inner government office paid attention to it, gradually expanded the cat room, and the number of close servants increased to thirty or forty.
On that day, Zhu Youxiao was reading the memorial in the West Warehouse, holding a tabby cat selected by the inner government office from nearly a hundred palace cats.
This cat is also the best among palace cats. It has a pure bloodline and is extremely well-behaved, and will never cause any trouble.
Zhu Youxiao frowned as soon as he picked up the memorial.
Coincidentally, what the censor said in this memorial was that the royal family raised animals and expanded the cat room.
"Censor Zhang Wenda reported:
Wuzong was foolish. In the past, there were seven leopards in the leopard house, fourteen pounds of mutton on the day branch, and 240 people were serving nearly 2,800 stones per year, covering an area of ten inclines.
Today, the Shang and the Central Palace love cats very much. Since their reign, they have expanded their cat rooms and hundreds of cats. The food is allocated by Guanglu Temple, which only increases luxury.
I also ask Your Majesty to cut off the cat room and save the reduction of the amount, and to set an example for the court!”
Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, not caring about it.
I only have such a little hobby, one is hunting in Nanhaizi and the other is petting cats. It just so happens that the queen also likes petting cats, so it cannot be cut off.
When I went to Nanhaizi, these people talked a lot.
Now that I'm joking a cat, I'm actually talking about it. I can compare the cat room with the leopard room of Emperor Wuzong. Is this comparable?
It was a little cool outside the hall. Zhu Youxiao shrank on the bamboo mat on the chair, and was roasting in the warm pavilion, but everyone was covered with brocade quilts, and they didn't know whether it was cold or hot.
After a while, I picked up the imperial pen and approved four words on Zhang Wenda’s memorial:
I understand.
Immediately, he rushed to the Chaofu and said, "In the future, you don't have to submit such memorials. How much money can a cat room cost?"
"Besides, I spent my own treasury to get in the way of these people."
Wang Chaofu nodded and ordered people to throw away a bunch of memorials.
Zhu Youxiaofu raised the cat's jaw and kept teasing it with his two fingers. The cat made a "gurgling" sound comfortable.
After hearing this, the emperor smiled with relief.
The moonlight on that day was particularly bright. Zhu Youxiao, who handled the government affairs for one day, fell asleep unknowingly on the imperial desk later.
He had a strange dream, and felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, deep and narrow, endless.
Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes and saw the dim warm pavilion of candlelight and several figures guarding outside the door.
Although he was the emperor who owned the world, he felt very lonely at this moment.
Zhu Youxiao stared at the full moon hanging high in the night sky for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Come here!"
A little eunuch from the Imperial Horse Supervisor heard the sound and asked, "What are the instructions for the Emperor?"
Zhu Youxiao glanced around and said that at this time, the tabby cat had no idea where to go to find the little female cat and went to have fun.
Even this beast has its own place of return.
Zhu Youxiao laughed at himself and asked, "What time is it now..."
"Master, it's the hour of Hai. Are you going to Kunning Palace?" The little eunuch was active and laughed.
This smile made Zhu Youxiao feel much better.
When the emperor woke up, people rushed over and lit the candlelight in the Western Warehouse, making people's hearts open.
Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said lightly: "I won't go to the inner palace today, I will invite the queen to come and talk to me."
The little eunuch said, "Master, it's so late, I'm going to go, I'm afraid I have to pull the Empress of the Central Palace out of the quilt..."
Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and he pulled someone out of the bed and chatted with him at night, which was a bit noisy.
Lying on the chair and having a moment of silence, the long night was long, it was really boring. Zhu Youxiao made up his mind to go to the outsider:
"Go to Kunning Palace to call the queen, and say I want to talk to her. If Kunning Palace turns off the lights, go to find Concubine Yu."
This is the tone of the edict. The eunuch outside the door did not dare to be negligent. Without saying a word, he ran to Kunning Palace.
No longer long time, I came to a door and found that the candlelight in Kunning Palace was actually bright. I looked quietly, but it was Queen Zhang Yan who was using the candlelight to weave clothes.
I think it is the reason why Longzi is about to come to the world?
But how did the Empress know that the person she cared in her belly was a dragon son?
The little eunuch thought to himself, and came to the door to clear his throat and said sharply: "The emperor has an order, please ask the concubine of the Central Palace to go to the Xihunting Pavilion to speak--"
Zhang Yan was concentrating on making clothes for her future son when she suddenly heard the shouts and was frightened. The needle pierced her little finger.
In an instant, blood oozed out and dripped onto the skirt.
Zhang Yan was not angry, and put down her unfinished little clothes, and she felt a little happy in her heart:
......
In November of the first year, Yuan Chonghuan could not bear the urging and arranged Ningyuan affairs and led more than 8,000 troops from the headquarters to go out of the city to provide reinforcements to Liaoyang.
The purpose of this attack was to support Dongjiang and relieve Mao Wenlong's pressure.
But more than a month passed, the Korean War continued, the Dongjiang army was isolated and there was no help, and Mao Wenlong even made several urgent attempts, fighting bloody battles.
Yuan Chonghuan's reinforcements still have no trace.
On this day, Wei Zhongxian was handling affairs in the East Factory, but saw his nephew Fu Yingxing running from afar, with an anxious look on his face:
"Uncle, Your Majesty summons you to the palace!"
"What's wrong?"
When Wei Zhongxian saw Fu Yingxing's expression, his heart sank and asked.
"What a big incident happened. Your Majesty received Yuan Chonghuan's report and his face looked ugly. Uncle, be careful!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian had no time to ask more questions, put down his affairs and hurried to Qianqing Palace.
"Bang!"
As soon as Wei Zhongxian entered the hall, three memorials flew towards him and hit him directly in the face, causing the old eunuch to say a roar and almost fall.
Zhu Youxiao leaned against the lounge chair, closed his eyes tightly, and said lightly:
“See it all.”
The first memorial was written by Mao Wenlong.
The Dongjiang Army left the island in September and entered North Korea. He fought three bloody battles with Amin's troops and won all three battles. However, he was suffering from few soldiers and few generals, so he could not expand the results of the battle.
The second and the first one were only half a month apart, and it was also reported by Mao Wenlong.
In this memorial, Mao Wenlong's tone was even more rapid, and he said that he had to report carefully to North Korea on October 12th to find out that Amin was stationed in a Korean village and slaughtered.
The Dongjiang army was infuriated. Mao Wenlong personally led more than 100 people into North Korea, shaking flags and shouting from all directions, almost killing Amin.
But when the Later Jin soldiers rushed over after hearing the news, Mao Wenlong could not withstand any losses and did not dare to continue pursuing, so he had to break it into pieces and retreat in a hurry.
He said that if Yuan Chonghuan could support him in the north this time, Amin might have been the dead soul under the sword of Dongjiang.
As for the third part, it was reported by Yuan Chonghuan, one month after he led his troops out of Ningyuan.
