The younger sister is settled, but the elder brother has not yet agreed.

Seeing that Zu Zepu was still hesitant, Zhu Guoqiang frowned slightly and said.

"Why, don't you want to go to North Korea with me to fight Huang Taiji?"

"ah!"

Zu Zepu said in surprise,

"The general is going to fight Huang Taiji? Then my father..."

Seeing Zu Zepu's nervous look, Zhu Guoqiang laughed.

"Your father, he is a hero of the restoration of Liao Dynasty, and he wants to go to Beijing and become an earl!"

"Why is he going to Beijing? How is this possible?"

Before the second brother could speak, Wu Jiumei said in shock.

"How is it impossible? Sister Jiu, you are my daughter-in-law. How could the imperial court allow your father to stay in Shenyang?"

After saying that, Zhu Guoqiang said loudly.

"Miss Ninth of the ancestral family has already made a marriage contract with this prince, and now she is taking her back to the mansion and taking her as a concubine!"

What?

Is this it?

Zu Jiumei, whose face should not be as red as a big apple, couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. The girl's heart was so excited, so she knew that if she accepted it, her father would have no choice but to go to the capital to be a hostage.

.

After that, Zhu Guoqiang said to Li Peiji next to him:

"Li Peiji, you go back to the camp immediately and ask Fang to join the army to write a letter and report it to the court and the Ministry of Rites. Just say that my son has been ordered to pacify the captives, and I don't know when he will die for the country. In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, there is no one around to serve him.

, so we decided to adopt the ninth sister of the Zu family as the concubine! She will serve in the palace first, and then she will complete the etiquette after returning to Jinan."

All right!

Get on the bus first and then buy your ticket!

Of course, this car is...

"Your Majesty, this, this..."

Unlike the silly girl who looked at the prince with a blushing face, Zu Zepu had no idea of ​​the prince's intentions.

Such a high-profile request for marriage was clearly an invitation to come to Beijing for his father's birthday!

"Brother-in-law, what do you have to say?"

Zhu Guoqiang asked with a smile.

"This, this, everything is subject to the arrangements of the prince!"

Zu Zepu's answer made Zhu Guoqiang laugh.

"Let's go back to camp!"

Happy ancestor’s birthday!

Look, how good I am to you. In such a bitter and cold place like Liaodong, you are getting older, so don’t stay here and suffer. Go to the capital to retire!

Beijing is great!

Where in the world is better than the capital!

At the feet of the Emperor!

Well, in another three years, someone else will come to Beijing. When the time comes, your uncle will have to hold on!

…

Huangjimen, today’s royal gate hearing is still going on.

Everyone looked overjoyed today, even the emperor, who usually had a gloomy look on his face, looked happy today.

Yesterday, as soon as he received the memorial from his ancestors and confirmed it repeatedly, Chongzhen happily ran to Fengxian Hall to comfort his ancestors.

Shenyang was recovered!

Liaodong was recovered!

This is a huge happy event!

The Donglu, no, the Jiannu, who had been in trouble since the time of Shenzong, were finally pacified in my hands. Can Chongzhen be unhappy?

If it weren't for the cumbersome procedures that required the Qintian Supervisor to select a date for the sacrifice in advance, Chongzhen would have gone to the Ancestral Temple early in the morning to express his condolences to his ancestors.

Ancestor, look at how awesome I am. I beat away the Jian slaves who occupied Liaodong, our home. How awesome am I?

Come on, come on and praise me.

Not to mention, Chongzhen still thought so in his heart. Even early yesterday, he asked Babaili to rush to tell the world the news.

Well, it seems that the inn has been cut off, and 50% to 60% of the eight hundred miles have been lost. Well, it will take a few days for the people of the world to know the news.

And the ancestors should also wait.

After all, the important affairs of the country are sacrifice and military affairs. There has been no good news to tell the ancestors for so many years. We have to make this good news more grand. In order to show the grandness, Chongzhen specially ordered to sell the bronzes in the palace and raised ten thousand taels of silver. Come, I also ordered the Ministry of Finance to squeeze out ten thousand taels of silver!

A full twenty thousand taels!

What a big deal!

Not easy!

There has been no good news for so many years. Is it easy for the emperor to take this job?

Today, naturally, driven by the good news of the recovery of Liaodong, many ministers handed over the certificates. Of course, they are all good news. Of course, there are also many people who want to take credit for the ancestor's birthday. Now he is the number one contributor to the restoration of Liao. We are the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty. With 20,000 troops, he defeated 100,000 Buddhist slaves, abandoned their helmets and armor, abandoned the city and fled. What was lost was the fake Shengjing, which is our Shenyang of the Ming Dynasty. Where can we find such a famous general? .

In fact, Chongzhen had already decreed yesterday to confer the title of earl to his ancestor Dashou. It was necessary to change the position of earl for the restoration of Liao Dynasty. However, as for what kind of earl, the cabinet still needs to discuss it.

"Yesterday, after discussing with the cabinet members, I thought that in order to show my ancestor's longevity and restoration of Liao Dynasty, I can confer him the title of Uncle Liaodong."

When Zhang Sizhi, the first assistant, held the wat board and played, Chongzhen naturally agreed immediately.

"Accurate performance."

Of course, because Zu Dashou’s contribution was so great, in addition to himself, three generations of his ancestors were awarded posthumous titles. As for his wives, concubines, and sons, of course they had to be taken into consideration. As for the "ancestral family members" in the excerpts asking for credit from the Ministry of War The merits of "general" must also be remembered. Those who should be promoted should be promoted. If there are only ten or eight generals in the Ming Dynasty's generals, are they embarrassed to go out to meet people?

Everyone has been accustomed to this for a long time, and besides, the filial piety shown by the ancestors of the family is not lacking in yamen.

Chongzhen, who was in an extremely comfortable mood, asked again.

"Is there anything else going on with your family?"

If it's okay, you can just back off, and I'll be more relaxed. Speaking of which, I haven't been around a woman for a long time.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial!"

The person who came out was Fang Shiliang, the minister from the Ministry of War. He was holding a wat tablet and said loudly as soon as he came out.

"Your Majesty, everyone in the world says that today's bad government is the most severe and harsh on the people. There is nothing better than to increase the payment of Liao's wages to make the people poor and robbers, then to increase the payment, then to train for all sides, and then to increase the payment. These are the only three payment methods. , several times the regular offering, which has taxed the people and cut off the fat and marrow. Now that Liaodong has been recovered, there is naturally no reason to impose additional Liao rates. I ask that the Liao rates be abolished to bring peace to the people of the world."

As soon as Fang Shiliang finished speaking, there was an uproar in front of the Huangji Gate. The reason couldn't be simpler. The imperial court's money was so tight that they cut Liao's salary! That's several million taels of silver. Once it's cut, let alone It’s the soldiers and horses from Liaodong, so the imperial court has to drink from the northwest wind!

But what Fang Shiliang said was out of righteousness - the Liao rates were levied to pacify Liaodong. Now that Liaodong has been pacified, it is natural that no more Liao rates should be levied. His suggestion immediately received as many comments as in the past. For these officials, they don’t care about the court, they only care about their own reputation. It would be great if this spread - you see how much I love the people, I am the first one to advocate cutting Liao’s pay, in the world The people all benefited from it.

Ah? The emperor didn’t agree? That’s a fool. Only with a fool can we show that we are loyal ministers!

For a time, Fang Shiliang's suggestion was like poking a hornet's nest. There were those who agreed and those who opposed. Everyone's comments made Chongzhen upset for a while, and his originally good mood suddenly turned bad.

You all can't stop arguing.

At this moment, Chongzhen couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, if only I were a foolish king, and you were so noisy, all your heads would be "clicked", and the world would be peaceful now!

Sometimes, for a moment, Chongzhen was really jealous of those foolish kings. Those foolish kings would kill people if they wanted to. They could do whatever they wanted, and the country had nothing to worry about.

Why did it happen to be here? He is obviously a wise king! But there are so many things to do, and none of these ministers are worry-free.

"Your Majesty, I have this report!"

Seeing that the emperor's joy at night had disappeared, Zhang Sizhi came out and started to play.

"allow."

I'd better change the subject quickly. If we keep arguing, I'll get a headache again. It's easy for me. I'm in a good mood just to let you mess it up.

"Your Majesty, last night the Ministry of Rites received a letter from Zhu Ciying, the Crown Prince of Defan, from General Pinglu, asking for marriage."

"oh?"

Isn’t that kid married? Why did he apply for marriage again? Could it be that he also wants to defraud some of his family members? Yes, that kid is not short of money.

But in the next moment, following the words of the first assistant and the fourth knowledge, Chongzhen was stunned, but he was a little shocked and said in surprise.
Chapter completed!
