Chongzhen looked at himself in the mirror carefully, grinned and smiled, which was very novel. After a long while, he sighed softly, "It's a huge profit, but it's a pity that it doesn't belong to the imperial court."
How could Chongzhen not know about the wealth of Jiangnan and the wealth of the merchants? Unfortunately, he did not have the courage to attack the gentry or impose heavy taxes on the merchants who were in close collusion with the government and businessmen.
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, let alone this mere thing?" Tian Guifei said it very well, and then said, "I also gave a piece to the queen, and she also liked it very much."
Chongzhen nodded and said, "My beloved concubine has done a good job. I am very pleased."
Competition for favor in the harem is a normal thing. Empress Zhou was known for her virtues, but she also quietly cheated Concubine Tian.
Concubine Tian was very talented and played the flute, drums and harp, which was highly praised by Chongzhen. Therefore, it was a pity that Queen Zhou was not familiar with this skill and she said a few words casually.
Queen Zhou was not ashamed, but said seriously, "I am a Confucian, but I only know how silkworms weave ears. Who taught me how to finger?"
Empress Zhou obviously knew very well about Chongzhen's suspicion and suspicion. A single sentence aroused Chongzhen's suspicion, and she questioned Concubine Tian about her background.
Concubine Tian told the truth that it was her mother who had given it to her. Chongzhen still didn't believe it, so he called Concubine Tian's stepmother into the palace and played a song to dispel his doubts.
Concubine Tian is favored again. Empress Zhou is the mother of a country and the head of the six palaces. Therefore, she has to flatter her and dare not offend her.
The entry of captives into the Pass during the seventh year of Chongzhen's reign caused unforgettable pain to the people of Gyeonggi and cast a heavy shadow on our hearts.
The pacification of Liaodong was, after all, a very far away place, and people knew what was going on. But the small victory of Zunhua happened right around the corner, and the capture and killing of King Jianlu Khan was equivalent to the emperor of the former Jin Dynasty.
Empress Zhou still remembers the fear and fear at this time, as well as the joy before Xiao Sheng.
"Shuai Mao is already a marquis. Can Guo Shuai be promoted to a marquis even if he is young?" The drunkard said, "Long live the Lord has said that he will be stingy with the reward of being a marquis."
Chongzhen sat down, drank the tea served by the palace maid, and chatted with Concubine Tian.
As we talked, the topic didn't go astray. There was a way. The people who suffered the pain all recorded their resentment against Master Yuan, but they could only make up for it by eating a few pieces of my meat.
"Hehe, it must be Yuan Chonghuan, a capable person who will oversee Liaodong, not to mention eight years, not even ten years. He said that my heart was not empty, and I tried my best to suppress Dongjiang Town, and even starved to death hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians."
At this time, the waiter came down with a tray and added a bottle of wine to each table, saying that it was the boss's favor, which made the atmosphere in the store a little colder. Empress Zhou suggested again. You also know Chongzhen's suspicion, but if you dare to Talk less and ask less. Lest Chongzhen believe that his father befriended Li Chen and received money from Dongjiang Town.
At this time, there was not yet a festive atmosphere in the capital. The New Year's Day was not even a month old, but the news of the pacification of Liaodong made the people even more excited than during the New Year.
A drunken man in short clothes had a pale complexion and seemed to be a miserable person, but he also joined in the lively discussion, but some people felt disgusted.
The official announcement of the pacification of Liaodong caused the least tension among the people, not the tension of relief and the uncomfortable feeling of a small grudge being avenged.
"The remaining captives have become a threat again. We fled far away and became savages. Being cold and hungry is not a reward or torture for us. Killing them with a knife will make us uncomfortable!"
"Long live the Qing Dynasty has been reduced again." Empress Zhou looked at Chongzhen with regret on her face and said with concern, "Now that Liaodong has been leveled, we will have to work late at night and eat late at night. It's too tiring."
"The earl also joined in. Anyway, Guo Shuai is still young. He is an earl in his eighties. He still got it based on his own merit. Xiao Ming can also be considered as the first one, right?"
In fact, Empress Zhou didn't discuss anything with Chongzhen. According to her father Tian Hongyu's inquiry, this so-called rare thing from the south of the Yangtze River did not come from Liaodong.
The old drinker shook his head heavily and said, "It is very possible to have two marquises in one town. Unless Mao Shuai is promoted to Duke or transferred from Dongjiang Town, Guo Shuai is at least a count."
"The days of fear are finally over!"
Some people were disgusted by the low-pitched shouting of drunkards who were not red-faced and drunk, but instead expressed their opinions and joined in the discussion.
"The Dongjiang Army was mighty and powerful, pacified Liaodong, wiped out the Jianqiu, and avenged all the people who were not harmed by the Jianqiu."
But I do know that the troublesome money problem is nothing to Concubine Tian. The so-called rare things from the south of the Yangtze River and huge profits all belong to Concubine Tian.
Outside teahouses and restaurants, the focus of people's discussion was the Ping Liao annihilation of the captives. They beheaded Shaoduo, killed a few slave chiefs, and before the captives fled north, would they still have the chance to clear the holes and eliminate them completely?
Although the Dongjiang Army launched a long-distance attack across the sea and dealt a devastating blow to the Jianlu captives, most of the people lost their families and their lives, and even fewer people felt the same pain because of the suffering of their relatives and friends.
Chongzhen laughed, patted Queen Zhou's big hand, and said, "Although the Dongjiang Army is brave, there are not many generals who can fight. But it is so complicated to enter the Pass and defeat the invaders."
"The Dongjiang Army must have suffered heavy losses in this small battle. To regain the entire Liaodong, reconstruction is the top priority. It is almost winter, and there is also an expedition by the French Army." An elderly drinker stroked his beard and made a very reasonable analysis.
The bad thing is that no one finally brought the topic to Dongjiang Army again and talked about the rewards for Dongjiang Army.
"There will never be wars before, and there will never be times when the capital is besieged!"
Chongzhen shook his head heavily and said, "Although Liaodong is peaceful, the thieves have not been eliminated. The government affairs are heavy, and I am also nervous. Too little."
"Now we are completely in trouble. Dongjiang Town is the mainstay. Yuan Chonghuan is not a treacherous villain. He is better than Qin Hui."
It's a pity that we can see his real face. Since he is a powerful general, he should be a man with small arms and round waist, a height of more than ten feet, and eyes like copper bells, right?
"In the end, the Dongjiang Army is still brave. Well, it should be Mao Shuai and Zhao Yong who are more powerful. It is said that the Liao Dynasty was pacified in eight years, and the deadline is still up, and the Jianlu were eliminated cleanly."
There are really talented people in Liaodong. Princess Takeda, Xiaojia, who has not yet written the lyrics, is really bad at writing. With these two brushes, I never dared to say that I could write lyrics and compose poems before.
Chongzhen and his beloved concubine enjoyed a rare and tense time together. But outside of their hearts, they would sometimes think of the imperial court's financial difficulties, which was also the emotion aroused by these rare things from the south of the Yangtze River.
Empress Zhou blinked her eyes and said, "The Dongjiang Army was able to beat the Jianlu to a pulp, and these bandits are just talking about it, right? It would be very practical to bring in strong generals and weak soldiers to annihilate the bandits, right?"
Although Tian Hongyu only sent a pair of small vases, he also copied many poems. Zhao Yongqing often recited them and rarely expressed emotion.
When you think about it, it's not that complicated. Dongjiang Army's young master is capable of fighting. I mean Mao Wenlong, not this Tian Guifei who is as young as an emperor. I heard that he has never been defeated.
