Liu Ruyi did not expect that at such a late hour, Empress Zhou was still beside Emperor Chongzhen. She kowtowed again and said: "General Liu Ruyi, please see the Queen. The Queen is a thousand years old! I don't know that the Queen is here. General."
How rude!"
Queen Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "General Liu, please be freed! You have made great contributions to the country. How can the Ai family punish you for such a trivial matter? Your Majesty, do you think so?"
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that his queen would actually have a prejudice against his general! He laughed quickly and said: "The queen is joking! General Liu, please get up quickly! Come on, come on, let me
I’ll take a good look at you!”
Liu Ruyi was speechless, but she had to cheer up, walked four or five steps in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and bowed her body respectfully!
Emperor Chongzhen was obviously very satisfied with Liu Ruyi's attitude. He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Liu Aiqing, while the queen is here, can you tell me and the queen in detail what happened in Pinggu City at that time?"
Perhaps because of the similar age difference, the more Emperor Chongzhen looked at Liu Ruyi, the more he liked him, and his words became softer, almost in a consultative tone when he spoke to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi understood what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, and he had read more of "The Deer and the Cauldron" in later generations. He also understood that hard-working emperors like Chongzhen and Xiao Mazi must understand every detail of everything.
At that moment, Liu Ruyi narrated the ambush of Obai in the valley and the battle of Pinggu City to Emperor Chongzhen in detail.
However, perhaps because of the relationship between Queen Zhou and Liu Ruyi, intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Ruyi also added a bit of fantasy. He comes from a later generation and has seen so many so-called blockbusters and bad movies. Naturally, he knows how to grasp the high points.
~~The progress of the tide!
When it comes to low points and ambushes, Liu Ruyi's voice is low and soft, but when it comes to climax and passion, Liu Ruyi's voice is high-pitched and exciting. The story told is so wonderful that Emperor Chongzhen and Zhou Enlai simply let it go.
The queen is as immersed in the scene!
When she heard that Ao Bai's army was coming with great momentum, but the Caishi Army had no power to face the enemy head-on, Queen Zhou couldn't help but nervously opened her little cherry mouth, and when Liu Ruyi said, he cleverly set up a mystery to lure Ao
When Bai entered the valley where nearly a thousand mountain-opening thunders had been buried, Queen Zhou laughed again, which was even more refreshing than when she was on the battlefield herself!
But Emperor Chongzhen was not as superficial as Empress Zhou. When he heard Liu Ruyi talk about the war, he sometimes concentrated in silence, and sometimes asked Liu Ruyi some very sharp questions, and Liu Ruyi answered them one by one!
It wasn't until the whole story of the war was finished that Emperor Chongzhen slapped his thigh happily and praised: "Liu Aiqing is truly a soldier sage in this world! Even if I were in that kind of situation, I couldn't be as quick-witted as Liu Aiqing!"
How could Liu Ruyi dare to accept such praise from Emperor Chongzhen? She just thought of Wei Xiaobao dealing with Kangxi, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is really self-effacing! With Your Majesty's talent and strategy, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be no need for such small tricks as humble positions, and you will be upright and dignified.
Then you can defeat Dorgon!"
Emperor Chongzhen laughed loudly, obviously enjoying it very much!
But Empress Zhou secretly pouted. Obviously, she didn't expect that Liu Ruyi could even be so clever at flattering!
However, what Liu Ruyi could not deny was that Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou were both the best listeners, which also made him feel an inexplicable sense of pride.
A few people chatted about some trivial matters, and Emperor Chongzhen said: "Liu Aiqing, in your opinion, since the Qing army can definitely defeat it, how can I, the Ming Dynasty, resolve the crisis in Liaodong?"
Liu Ruyi pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, in the humble position, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has reached this level. It is no longer an overnight achievement! If it is an upright duel and the city is blocked and defended, our Ming Dynasty will not suffer. But if it really
If we have to fight head-on in the field, I’m afraid I’m going to suffer a lot!”
In fact, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty reached this level, it was already at its peak. Let alone encirclement and suppression, even holding on to the Ming Dynasty was already quite difficult!
After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had conquered Mongolia to the west and North Korea to the east. The strategic depth was so great that they almost had no worries!
But looking back at the Ming Dynasty, thieves were everywhere, corrupt officials were in power, and party disputes were constant. The two are not the same at all!
Emperor Chongzhen knew that Liu Ruyi was telling the truth, but he was not satisfied with Liu Ruyi's answer. He looked into Liu Ruyi's eyes and asked again: "Liu Aiqing, I mean, if you want to eliminate the troubles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liu Aiqing, you
Is there any good way?"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but be startled. This question finally came!
At that time, Governor Yuan's five-year plan to pacify the Liao Dynasty was probably forced out by Emperor Chongzhen in this way!
However, now that the matter has come to this, Liu Ruyi also wants to test Emperor Chongzhen's inner attitude. He took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has become bigger now! Even the Northern Yuan Dynasty was far away.
It is incomparable! If the emperor wants to quell this disaster in a short time, I am afraid it is already unrealistic! But I, the Ming Dynasty, are not invincible! It’s just that we need to be patient and look for opportunities!"
"Oh? What kind of opportunity is this? Liu Aiqing can come to me quickly?" Seeing that Liu Ruyi did not say anything, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and asked quickly.
Liu Ruyi smiled, this is the art of conversation!
If from the beginning, like Yuan Chonghuan, he directly drew a big pie for Emperor Chongzhen and took all the pressure on himself, this would obviously be extremely unwise!
After all, Yuan Chonghuan also knew at the time that his so-called five-year plan to level the Liao Dynasty was just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water. If it were really implemented, it would be like reaching the sky!
And Liu Ruyi's step-by-step approach made Emperor Chongzhen understand that there is hope, but it is very difficult! Step by step, the effect will be better!
This is actually like writing an online novel. What you pursue in the first chapter is a strong sense of immersion!
Emperor Chongzhen needs to be able to put himself into the perspective of a general. Only in this way will he feel at ease, feel at ease, and only then will he consider issues from the perspective of a general!
"Your Majesty, you have fought against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties so many times under your humble authority! You have also caught some clues about the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" Liu Ruyi glanced at Emperor Chongzhen.
"Go on!" Emperor Chongzhen also looked closely into Liu Ruyi's eyes!
"Yes!" Liu Ruyi lowered her head slightly and said: "This is mainly between the slave chief Huang Taiji and the brothers Prince Rui Dorgon. I think the emperor has also heard that they are secretly fighting for the position of the slave chief.
It’s hard to tolerate! In this battle with Beizhi, we got even more important news! Taiji, the slave chieftain, fainted from heartache because of the death of his beloved son! His body may not be able to hold on much longer! But Dorgon
But the brothers are getting stronger and more arrogant and domineering day by day. Maybe it won’t take long..."
Liu Ruyi didn't finish speaking, but he knew that according to Emperor Chongzhen's IQ, he would make up for the rest by himself!
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen was silent after hearing this, and even Queen Zhou also put away her little daughter mentality and thought a little!
After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sighed, "I have indeed heard what Aiqing said! However, if it continues like this, it is very likely that we will not get the results we want!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, "Your Majesty, so we need to add fuel to the fire! Their internal fighting must be accelerated. Only in this way can I, the Ming Dynasty, win enough time to recuperate!"
"My dear, if you have any good advice, please come to me as soon as possible!" Emperor Chongzhen asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have ever heard of the allusion that two peaches kill three men..."
Liu Ruyi did not reveal any substantive strategy, but it made Emperor Chongzhen think deeply.
Finally, Emperor Chongzhen summoned a young eunuch and told him to take Liu Ruyi to find a place to rest first, and Queen Zhou also walked out of the imperial study room with Liu Ruyi.
"General Liu, are you very majestic? Are you very capable? Even the emperor was intimidated by you!" Queen Zhou couldn't help but jokingly said to Liu Ruyi after walking out of the imperial study.
"The Empress is joking. I am humble. I am humble. Is this for the sake of Ming Dynasty?" Liu Ruyi hurriedly cupped her hands and cursed secretly in her heart. Didn't this bitch just touch you a few times unintentionally? Is it necessary to follow her?
Can’t I make it through?
But Empress Zhou obviously would not let Liu Ruyi go so easily, and said again: "But General Liu, the Ai family found that you kept talking half-heartedly? But are you afraid that the Ai family could eavesdrop?"
"Is this? Queen, you are worrying too much! According to the emperor's intelligence, there is no need to say anything more in the humble position. I am afraid that the emperor has already thought of a solution! Therefore, there is no need for the humble position to do anything! There is absolutely no need to hide anything in the humble position.
Queen, what do you mean?" Liu Ruyi explained helplessly.
Empress Zhou suddenly laughed and said, "General Liu, you, are you very good at life? According to the Ai family, there are tens of thousands of civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty, but~~~, how can you know how to keep yourself in check like you, General Liu?"
Self-protection, I’m afraid it really doesn’t exist!”
'Fuck!' Liu Ruyi couldn't help but cursed in her heart, 'This stinky bitch really refuses to stop talking without surprising anyone! It looks like she is really in trouble with him!'
"Queen, my humble duty to the Ming Dynasty and my sincerity to the Emperor can be seen day by day! I humble my duty and have a clear conscience!" Liu Ruyi could only grit her teeth and promise.
Queen Zhou smiled even more happily. When the little eunuch beside her was not paying attention, she suddenly lowered her voice and said: "General Liu, you are sincere to the Ming Dynasty! You are really too sincere to the Ming Dynasty! The Ai family has a deep love for the Ming Dynasty.
Experience it!”
"..." Liu Ruyi was really panicked and stayed where she was, not knowing what to say!
Empress Zhou smiled, waved her hand, and said to the little eunuch beside her: "Take General Liu to have a good rest! Oh, by the way, the emperor has ordered, don't forget to bring General Liu to the Imperial Garden for breakfast tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, I obey your order!" The young eunuch hurriedly bowed deeply.
Liu Ruyi saw Queen Zhou curling away happily.
"General Liu, please come with me!" The little eunuch seemed to have noticed something, but he did not say it out loud.
But just as he raised his head, Liu Ruyi hugged his neck, and without saying a word, three hundred-tael silver notes were stuffed into his arms. Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Little Third Son-in-law, let's
But we meet again! Tonight, I have to trouble my three gentlemen to take care of me more!"
This little eunuch is actually the third son who had a relationship with Liu Ruyi!
