Chapter 97: It is gold that always shines

The Yongning Xuanfu envoy She Chongming rebelled in Sichuan. His chieftains claimed to have an army of 80,000. The court used Lu Qin as the governor and mobilized the officials from four provinces to encircle and suppress.

The news spread all over the world, and the capital was shocked.

One night, Zhang Yan waited for Zhu Youxiao in the palace, but she didn't receive the news, so she brought a few personal palace maids to the courtyard to relax.

When he arrived at the courtyard outside Kunning Palace, Zhang Yan raised her eyes and sniffed in the wind, but she could smell the faint smell of saltpeter.

Then, she frowned slightly.

At this time, the palace maid Ai, who was in charge, came back with a few eunuchs. As soon as he arrived in front of the yard, he smiled and said with a smile:

"Empress, the emperor is not here tonight! I have asked me to bring you this to relieve your boredom."

Zhang Yan's shining eyes slightly darkened, and she nodded quietly.

Ai also saw that the queen was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly called the eunuch to place the things the emperor sent, and then clicked on the midst of the empty courtyard.

Accompanied by the surprise laughter of the palace people, the fireworks suddenly emerged from the endless and deep night sky.

Then it exploded, smashed into pieces, and fell down again, and finally turned into nothingness in the colorful field.

This flash of brilliance that passed away was not a sight that ordinary people could see, and the palace people were still talking happily.

What Zhang Yan thought was completely different.

For some reason, the first thing she thought of when she saw this fireworks was the thousands of households destroyed by the war in Guangning.

There are so many corpses and millions of unjust souls, but I am afraid that in another ten years or a hundred years, they will not be able to disappear.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan shook her head again and chuckled.

I don’t know when, but after Zhu Youxiao was influenced by her, as the empress of the empire, she no longer looked at the Confucian classics and cared about the sufferings of the people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan sighed lightly, thinking about it, today is the first time that the emperor said he would come here for a long time.

I think...what big happened to the country?

Recently, the emperor was extremely busy and often stayed in the West Warehouse overnight. He didn't bother to go to Nanhaizi to ride a horse. Last time he said he wanted to meet his three uncles in Beijing, and he had no time to do so.

These fireworks were not exhausted during this year's Aoshan Lantern Festival, and some of them were affected by the tide.

It should be asked Wei Zhongxian to find him from the Neiku to give him a relief. Humph, let’s forgive the emperor for now.

Zhang Yan knew the general idea, but she still wouldn't use this little character.

At this time, Ai came up and rubbed his hands, and said unsatisfiedly:

"Empress, it's all over, and Eunuch Wei also said that it took a lot of effort to find these."

Immediately, Zhang Yan's eyes dimmed as the fireworks completely extinguished, and she knew in her heart that the emperor would not come tonight.

"I would have flew too."

When the queen said this in a muffled voice, the palace maid Ai was also a little surprised. Before she could respond, the queen returned to Kunning Palace.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yan walked on the couch by herself, looking at the empty side, and felt her chest was dull and lonely.

She couldn't sleep, so she called Ai and asked curiously: "The emperor has always said he was busy recently. What is he busy with every day?"

"A big incident happened in the southwest, and the outer court became a mess. The emperor wanted to pay tribute to the chieftains in the southwest, and to dispatch troops."

When talking about the recent tense atmosphere inside and outside the court, Ai also felt very scared.

"By the way, I heard from my fellow townsman on duty in the Qianqing Palace that a minister of the Ministry of Personnel was added to the Xihunting Pavilion. He followed the emperor to discuss the war situation in the southwest every day, and even the Ministry of War of the Foreign Court could not interfere."

"All right."

Zhang Yan couldn't hear what a minister, Xintianxi Warehouse, she lowered her eyes and felt a little disappointed.

But she did not continue to stubbornly and just asked: "What happened to the southwest?"

Ai was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he still said, "There is a powerful Tusi family in the southwest that has rebelled!"

"The emperor dealt with it in time and had already transferred troops from four provinces to fight for the suppression. This was a war of hundreds of thousands of people."

"who?"

"Yongning Xuanfu Envoy She Chongming..." As he said that, Ai stuck out his tongue and said again: "I heard from you, but I don't know this person."

"Why is it so bad..."

"The Liao incident has not yet subsided, and such a great disaster has occurred in the southwest. All civil and military officials, who are just waiting for the emperor to make a decision, can no one give advice?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was a little angry.

Ai went out and looked outside the door. He found that there was no one, so he came back and whispered:

"I also heard that what the emperor wants to discuss tonight is the matter of the imperial commander personally going to pacify the southwest."

"Why do you have to go to the army in person?" Zhang Yan was even more worried.

Ai Shi couldn't respond and said with a flattering smile:

"Empress, I am a servant. The fellow villager on duty in the Qing Palace is just a clean-up of Xuande furnace. How could he know what the emperor was thinking?"

"It's hard for you."

Zhang Yan also understands the truth and has no angry look.

Seeing her frowning her eyebrows, she thought for a while, and said with a sigh: "If I were a man, I would hold my sword and cross the horse, go into battle to kill the enemy, and share the worries of the emperor."

When the queen said such words, Ai accidentally laughed out loud. Although he quickly stopped it, Zhang Yan also got a look at him.

"Empress, you always go with the emperor to listen to Yue Fei and write about Yue Fei, and your temperament has changed."

"How could you be... you damn girl!"

......

Not long after, the West Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao also smiled slightly when he heard Wang Titan talk to him about what the queen had seen after the fireworks.

It seems that my own hands-on and mouth-to-mouth teaching has played a role.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao changed his face to a serious expression and asked, "I have said it long ago that She Chongming will rebel. Do you have something to say now?"

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."

After Wang Zaijin, Gu Bingqian finished speaking, he turned to look at the minister of the Ministry of Personnel who was the latest in the Western Warm Pavilion.

Speaking of which, this person is just a small official compared to them. He can enter the Western Warehouse. I wonder how many blessings his ancestors have accumulated in their lifetimes.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and looked at the man and said lightly:

"Sun Chuanting, I think you don't say a word, is it because I'm holding it in my heart?"

Sun Chuanting, whose courtesy name was Boya and his pseudonym was Baigu, was from Zhenwuwei, Daizhou. He was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli and was first appointed as the magistrate of Yongcheng.

Since then, Sun Chuanting has been completely different from history, and his legendary road to promotion has never stopped.

In March of the first year of Tianqi, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge was appointed as the Minister of Personnel in Jin. He recommended Sun Chuanting to have a genius. He went to the cabinet to make a decision and transferred to the capital to serve. He was initially appointed as the Chief of the Ministry of Personnel.

In the Gengshen year, Sun Chuanting was outstanding in his career and had outstanding political achievements. Wang Zaijin presided over the presidency and was promoted to Sun Chuanting to the Jixun Doctor of the Ministry of Personnel.

Early this morning, the war situation in the southwest entered the capital. Emperor Zhu Youchao ordered the emperor to pass the imperial court into the west warm-up hall to assist in the war in the southwest.

At first, Sun Chuanting was not promoted by Zhu Youxiao. He was Wang Zaijin who discovered his talent, and then the cabinet decided to go to the capital to serve.

After Sun Chuanting arrived in Beijing, he was just about to catch up with the Beijing Cha.

That Beijing inspection was originally designed by Zhu Youxiao to enhance Wang Zaijin's prestige, so he didn't plan to deal with many people.

Under the open and secret investigation of the factory guards, many people who are not good at doing things are trying to ensure that they are not lost. They have all kinds of private meetings with Wang Zaijin, some give gifts and some sell miserable things.

Anyway, in the end, I dare not make too much noise.

Sun Chuanting had no such concern at all. He did his own thing and became the only one who was the only one who was soon discovered by Wang Zaijin.

The factory guards naturally had to go and investigate, but Sun Chuanting had just entered Beijing, and he was more principled and found nothing.

Suddenly, a Sun Chuanting appeared, and Zhu Youxiao naturally used him as soon as he was used.

The five-star god has delivered himself to his door, how can he be used without any gift?

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao can only say that gold can shine anywhere.

Such a truly talented person can quickly jump out of his circle that does not belong to him even if he just throws him into the vast sea of ​​officials in the capital.

Huang Degong and others were the same, throwing them in Yongwei Camp. After a few months, they quickly became the Qianzheng, Baizheng, and Firearms Camp officials based on their skills.

People don’t need you to pull out seedlings and encourage growth. In history, they have gained their strength step by step.

(Deeply mourn those martyrs and fellow deceased in the war against the epidemic. How can there be any peaceful time? Someone is carrying the burden for us! Salute!!)
