Chapter 1508 Heavenly Jealousy

"Isn't it going to go to the water?" Tianqi sat on the bed wearing only the middle clothes. The window in the hall opened and ventilated. The hall was tall and breathable. It would be too cold in winter and good in summer. Even so, the emperor had a slight sweat on his forehead. This was a sign of physical weakness. However, Tianqi did not care and never asked anyone to change his clothes. He was immersed in a shocked mood.

If there is no water flow, it must be an urgent report.

The Donglu had just fought far away from Liaoxi, and the old slave led his troops to fight Dongjiang. Dongjiang would send a pond to report every few days, and always claimed a great victory. If we counted according to Mao Wenlong's good news, the Donglu would have almost died now.

Emperor Tianqi no longer cared about the Dongjiangtang newspaper's victory. He also understood Mao Wenlong a little, and it was difficult to replenish logistics. Until now, the court has not officially opened a town and military pay for Dongjiang. He relied on the treasury and extorted North Korea to live. The hardships of Dongjiang can be imagined.

If you don’t brag about it, boost morale and attract the attention of the court, what can Dongjiang do?

In any case, under the premise that western Liaoning dared to fight and could not defend the city, Dongjiang Town dared to attack three times, which aroused the vigilance and attention of Jianlu, which was quite commendable.

From the perspective of ministers in the court who did not like Dongjiang, there was not enough slavery to control, but there was more slavery to hold them.

It is not western Liaoning, and of course it is unlikely that there will be internal rebellion. Tianqi did not feel anything wrong, so the only source of information is from the north and from the grassland.

As early as half a month ago, when he heard that Zhang Han had personally led his troops to Chahar, Tianqi asked civil and military officials in Jizhen to pay attention to the news that came from the grassland, and repeatedly ordered that once there was a definite news, they would report to Beijing immediately. Tianqi was just a thrust of the skill, and immediately sorted out the pulse of the matter in his mind, and confirmed that it was the latest urgent report on the grassland.

Sure enough, Wei Zhongxian had already taken out a hot-clad memorial from his arms and whispered: "What was handed in from the gap in the palace gate was an urgent report sent by Jizhen. Those who guarded the city gate did not dare to neglect and put it in directly. The palace gate was not opened, but handed in from the gap in the door."

Two eunuchs lifted the tent, and the emperor with his hair scattered hair sat on the edge of the bed. While receiving the urgent report, the emperor said in a daze: "The urgent report was sent from the gap in the cemetery outside the palace. After the founding of the country, this seems to be the second time?"

Wei Zhongxian was quite familiar with the story of the old man in the palace, and said decisively: "It is indeed the second chapter, and the first chapter is the rebellion of the eunuch Cao Jixiang."

Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian and others and asked, "Who is guarding the palace gate tonight?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "It's Xiangcheng Bo. He was on duty outside. After submitting the urgent report, he went to Qianqing Gate to receive it. I personally went to pick it up. After asking about it, I dared not delay it. I came to report it directly to the emperor."

"Is it sent by the General of Ji Town?"

"It was the minister of the capital, Heiyunlong, who heard the news and inquiries from many parties, Heiyunlong did not dare to delay and directly sent someone to Beijing to report it urgently."

"How is this person's ethics?"

"It's quite respectful."

Heiyunlong and Zhang Han were not involved in Hutchison. Half a year after the successful rescue of Shisanshan, this person was ordered to guard the Jinzhou area and cooperated with Ma Chengen and others to defend the outermost defense line in western Liaoning. His subordinates often fought with small groups of Jianlu, and were considered a very capable veteran.

Emperor Tianqi felt a little relieved, but the feeling of fear was still very strong.

Tianqi's fear was only a very short time, and the emperor knew that he was too worried.

The emperor is now more concerned about the urgent sounds in his hands. Judging from the Black Cloud Dragon’s report, the Chahar tribe is completely finished.

Although Hutchison has secured more than 90% of the herdsmen, nearly 10,000 people have escaped. They fled around and fled before the news was confirmed. Some have run to Bahrain and Korqin, and of course some have fled to the west or north.

At least hundreds of people ran to the side wall of Jizhen to ask for protection. The Chahar people also knew that the Ming Dynasty would accommodate some Mongolian surrendered people and used them as Tartar soldiers. All generals and generals below liked to use Mongolian Needin because they were born cavalry and had good cavalry and shooting. As long as they practiced some horse fighting skills and determined loyalty, they gave them good horses and armor. These Mongolians were good cavalry with very good skills and were used to be Needin.

The Chahar people of hundreds of people can already prove the news of the Chahar people's defeat. Heiyunlong is still quite persistent and has been confirmed by the conspicuous spies of Korqin and Balin. Indeed, Chahar's defeat was defeated, and 100,000 people disappeared. There were nearly 40,000 prisoners just taken to the Suicheng City. Moreover, from Lin Danhan to his wives, concubines and children, as well as the brain-mao Dada and other Taiji, the chief officer of the two wings, all those who could call them inside Chahar chose to surrender.

This is to be sure that the last Communist Khan, the strongest force in Mongolia, was conquered by the Han people, and everyone, including their great Khan, was conquered and everything was over.

The Apocalypse was confused for a moment and didn't know what to say for a long time.

"It seems like this." The emperor carefully said: "From the time of the report, Hutchison has already held a surrender ceremony. Lin Danhan was taken care of in public, and the people of the inspection department will also be placed in batches and time. In the short term, there will be nothing to do on the nine sides. Oh, there will be nothing to do with the Beilu."

Thinking of the tribes with hundreds of thousands of people in the Northern Territory and so many Khan Taiji surrendered to Zhang Han's soles, Emperor Tianqi had to admit that he was a little jealous.

"I don't remember what Zhang Han is like." The emperor still sat on the bed and said subconsciously.

"I don't remember it very much."

Wei Zhongxian actually remembered it very clearly. He was tall, cheerful smile, confident eyes, and a sense of confidence that he had been in the upper hand for a long time.

He looks very ordinary, but he obviously has the temperament of a well-educated family. He does not have much aura of businessmen and does not look like a philosophical figure.

Wei Zhongxian, a Western merchant, had seen many people. When he was a little powerful but not really developed, extorting merchants was the fastest thing to make money. After colluding with the Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory, he found a rich businessman to just make a charge and the money was obtained.

There are not tens of thousands of wealthy businessmen in the capital, but there are thousands of them. Powerful people regard them as flocks and can start at any time.

After Zhang Han appeared, Wei Zhongxian actually treated him like an ordinary businessman.

He just wanted Zhang Han's money. In addition, Zhang Han was confronting Donglin at that time, and Wei Zhongxian used this person as a signboard. As long as someone was willing to fight Donglin, Eunuch Wei would protect him.

Zhang Han also knew how to make a lot of money and gave him a lot of money. Wei Zhongxian expressed his satisfaction. The eunuch party became amulet for Hutchison in the capital. As a result, in a short time, Zhang Han had become a threat to the entire Ming Dynasty and had already made a separation from the eunuch party.

When Wei Zhongxian thought of his powerful figure as a fat sheep, his face felt hot. When he thought that he could not get the chance, Zhang Han would never appear in the capital again, Wei Zhongxian felt lost.

"What do you think of Daban?"

Tianqi looked at his confidant companion who had entrusted the country's affairs in the dark tabernacle. Seeing Wei Zhongxian frowning, the emperor felt a little relieved.

In any case, family slaves are more reliable than foreign ministers, and they can rely on family slaves to do major tasks. If their reputation is too bad, they will be used to calm the anger... This is the imperial spirit passed down by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty!

"I dare not speak nonsense." The matter involved military and political affairs related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale and could not provide any useful ideas.

Tianqi sighed slightly. It seems that the eunuch party’s governance still relies on the power of the group, and Wei Zhongxian’s own level is still quite limited.

Apocalypse believes that Hutchison may temporarily quit. After all, many consecutive battles have just been completed, and there will be no actual threat to the Ming Dynasty border in the short term, but the emperor is not sure, and he needs more help.

"Tomorrow morning, the cabinet's Mr. Zhu was summoned to meet at Huijimen to discuss this matter." Tianqi said to Wei Zhongxian: "Does the factory minister think he should summon the six ministers and nine ministers to attend the meeting?"

The cabinet is now completely under the control of the eunuch party, and the six ministries are not like this. At least half of the six ministries are not under control. Fortunately, the disobedient Wang Yongguang was recently replaced by Feng Jiahui. Wei Zhongxian replied: "It is better to be cautious in matters. I think it is better to be cautious. I can summon the cabinet and the Minister of War to report to the imperial court. If there is any change in the matter, the six ministries and nine ministers and the chief censors, and the chief officials of each department will meet together to express their opinions in order to prepare for the news."

"Oh, then do it like this."

...

When it was dawn, shortly after the time came, Zhou Kui, who lived outside the left gate of Chang'an, near Xiaoyongfang, was awakened by a burst of rapid horse hooves.

After his daughter Zhou married King Xin, Zhou Kui's life experience immediately changed drastically.

Take this mansion as the most obvious proof.

This house with a garden stable has more than forty houses in three places. It is worth at least 7,800 or even tens of thousands of taels of silver when every inch of land is valuable.

After knowing that Hutchison still had hundreds of thousands of people on the grassland, Zhou Kui had completely extinguished his mind to be the father-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is worried about the arrival of "that day". Sometimes he is very annoyed and wishes he could come early that day, and sometimes he is very scared, fearing that such a terrible day will really come.

Whenever there is any abnormal movement, the frightened former fortune teller will be very nervous. Zhou Kui is quite suspicious. Like a few more things happening this morning, he must be frightened and mentally ill.

However, this cannot be blamed on this prince's father-in-law. It is quite rare for someone to come out in the palace and imperial city. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. Zhou Kui's nervousness is not unreasonable.

When Zhou Kui walked out of the mansion, there were still very few people on the street.

Most of them are people carrying shoulder poles to take care of their lives. Whether the weather is hot or cold, these short-term workers are the most difficult. Before the vegetable farmers and laborers outside the city entered the city, they would get up early and take care of their work with some tools. They would just move and carry work. After working hard a day, they could earn more than ten or twenty copper coins. At this price, as long as there is a job to take, they would not be hungry and could support the whole family.

But if you are unfortunately unsuccessful and cannot take on work for several days, these men at the bottom may also go hungry. After all, their income is limited and their family's grain storage is quite limited.

These laborers rose up much earlier than the nuns who reported the time. When it was dawn, they had already eaten a simple breakfast and went out. When Zhou Kui looked out with a confused look on his face, several laborers were carefully walking past a pile of sewage and manure on the corner of the street.
