After the lecture was over, Jiang Fengyuan had just left the side hall of Wenhua Palace, and immediately a messenger eunuch came to let Zhu Cihong come to the main hall to meet him.

Since the victory in Liangxiang, Emperor Chongzhen's spirit has become better and better, seeing Zhu Cihong's arrival, Emperor Chongzhen beckoned and asked Zhu Cihong to accompany him to watch the concerto.

In recent days, Emperor Chongzhen has doted on Zhu Cihong, and he is even more willing to cultivate, and he wants him to accompany him every time he is in the morning.

Even the place where the ministers are summoned on a daily basis has been changed from the Qianqing Palace to the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, and Emperor Chongzhen wants him to watch all the rewards and punishments.

Even if it was to review the recital, Chongzhen had to summon Zhu Cihong to watch it together and teach him how to reply to the ministers' letters.

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong, became more and more fond, and said with a smile: "Prince, how did you learn today?" ”

Zhu Cihong said respectfully: "Back to your father, His Majesty, my sons mainly learned calligraphy from Mr. Jiang today. ”

"Write to me!"

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, Wang Chengen had already prepared pen and ink and gently put it in front of Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong took my ink pen and wrote unceremoniously on rice paper.

Emperor Chongzhen tilted his head and said in surprise while watching: "The shape is slightly flattened, the characters are square and round, the body posture is obviously obliquely raised to the upper left, the strokes are calm and rich, smooth and dignified, or occasionally implicated, this is Jiang Fengyuan's style, the prince has actually practiced a little similar in a short period of time, which is really good!" ”

Zhu Cihong hurriedly said: "His Majesty the Father and Emperor have praised it, and the sons are just beginners, and they dare not compare it with Mr. Jiang's calligraphy, for fear of polluting everyone's ........"

The father and son talked happily with each other, which made Wang Chengen on the side sigh with emotion, and secretly said that the emperor had not been so happy for a long time.

Not long after, an eight-hundred-mile urgent Tang newspaper came from the front line, and Cao Huachun went straight to the Wenhua Hall with the Tang newspaper in his hand, no slower than the last time he took Zhu Cihong's good news.

Cao Huachun shouted as he walked: "Emperor, a happy event, a great happy event!" Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi on the front line, sent a report from Tang that on the 20th of this month, Shaanxi won a great victory, and Sun Chuanting captured the thief's leader, Gao Yingxiang, alive! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's heart was suddenly shocked, he quickly took the Tang newspaper, swept it away, and suddenly his face was happy, and his slightly trembling hands could not hide his excitement, and he said loudly: "What a Sun Chuanting!" Lure the thief to death, gather and annihilate, and capture the thief alive! All right! ”

Gao Yingxiang has been rebelling since Chongzhen pulled the flag in the second year, it has lasted seven years, it can be said that Zhu Cihong just crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, the eldest brother began to rebel, and he was not arrested until today.

In the past seven years, Gao Yingxiang has moved to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and his troops are the strongest in the peasant armies of all walks of life in the country at that time.

Zhu Cihong was not so excited, he knew that although Gao Yingxiang's banner had fallen, it would be the more powerful Li Zicheng who would take him over from the king's banner!

However, he didn't want to sweep the emperor Lao Tzu's xing, his face was also very excited, and said: "Son, congratulations to your father, Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and suddenly his face turned straight, and he said: "Pass the decree, hurry back to Sun Chuanting, and ask him to personally lead the army to escort Gao Yingxiang to the capital and sacrifice prisoners in Beijing!" Be sure to be foolproof! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was tossed and scared by Gao Yingxiang, worried that Gao Yingxiang would be robbed by peasant armies from all walks of life on the road, so it would be really fucking happy.

Chongzhen continued: "Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the Central Plains suppressed Kou, both of them have made great contributions to Sheji, and I will also reward them heavily, and the decree will also let the two of them enter Beijing!" ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty Father, by all means, the Central Plains bandits have not been completely eliminated, and the rest of Gao Yingxiang still has Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other big cowards, and my father must not recall the two important ministers, ruining the Central Plains plan to suppress the coles that has been arranged for many years!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "According to the Tang newspaper, the thief leader Gao Yingxiang and his henchmen Liu Zhe and Huang Long were all captured, and the tens of thousands of troops under him also completely collapsed under Sun Chuanting's blows. ”

Zhu Cihong explained: "Father, Gao Yingxiang has thirteen big families under him, among which Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are the most powerful, far from being comparable to Liu Zhe, Huang Long and others, don't underestimate it!" ”

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a little unconvinced, he was still more cautious, so he agreed with Zhu Cihong's opinion and said: "Then let Sun Chuanting enter Beijing to offer prisoners, and Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng will continue to cooperate with the south and the north to completely exterminate the Central Plains Liukou!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong was finally relieved, last time he gave one million taels of silver for nothing to suppress the Central Plains, as long as these two bigwigs are not interfered with by external factors this year, there should be no problem in encircling and suppressing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!

As soon as the war in the Central Plains is over, the Ming Dynasty will recover for a while, and then it will be able to wave its army to the north, fight a decisive battle against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, recover the lost territory in Liaodong, and restore the Nuer Gandu Division!

Of course, this is the most ideal development, history is full of variables, the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty has just begun, and the natural disasters in the next few years will be ten times more violent than now!

After the news of the capture of the thief Gao Yingxiang spread, the palace was overjoyed, and Emperor Chongzhen took Zhu Cihong to Fengxian Palace.

In front of the tablets of more than a dozen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen wept bitterly, sacrificed to his ancestors, and told his hard work over the years, and now he finally got a reward.

Rao is Zhu Cihong was firm-minded, and he was also infected when he heard it at this time, so he couldn't help but go up and comfort him.

Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong knelt in the Fengxian Hall for a long time, and they all said what they should say in front of the ancestral tablet, and then the two got up and went to the Qianqing Palace nearby.

Kneeling and talking for a long time, Chongzhen was already tired and thirsty, and on the dragon chair of the Qianqing Palace, regardless of the image, he put the classic "Ge You Lying", sipping tea, thinking about Gao Yingxiang's capture, and the smile on his face gradually relaxed.

Zhu Cihong has been with him, and he was also tossed a lot, so he found a bench to sit down, and looked at this emperor father who didn't care about his image speechlessly.

After resting for a while, Chongzhen was afraid that others would not know about Gao Yingxiang's capture, so he hurriedly took Zhu Cihong to Kunning Palace.

The two came to Kunning Palace together, Chongzhen's old problem was made again, and he didn't let others pass it on, so he pulled Zhu Cihong and slipped in quietly.

The two of them sneaked to the outside of the main hall of Kunning Palace like thieves, stretched out their heads to look in, and saw that Queen Zhou was sitting on the embroidery pier, teaching a eunuch to read and write, and the eunuch scratched his ears and cheeks and didn't recognize the words in front of him, Queen Zhou was immediately annoyed and punished him for kneeling on the steps.

As soon as the little eunuch walked out of the palace gate, he saw the two peeping people, and hurriedly saluted in horror.

Chongzhen saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to come out and said with a smile: "Queen, why do you want to punish him?" ”

Queen Zhou first saluted Chongzhen's rules, and then Zhu Cihong saluted to Queen Zhou, and after a set of etiquette was completed, Queen Zhou said: "The concubine asked Xiao Qinzi if he was literate, and he said he couldn't read, so the concubine wrote a few words to teach him, and after a while, he forgot." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "The queen mother is also a teacher." ”

Emperor Chongzhen also smiled when he heard this: "But isn't it, then I beg Mr. to intercede, please exempt Xiao Qinzi from punishment, how about it?" ”

Empress Zhou laughed and said angrily: "You guys, you have broken the school rules. ”

Xiao Qinzi was full of eyesight, and after hearing the meaning, he hurriedly thanked him and got up, and then made tea for the two big guys.
