Chapter 838: I'll Sleep First
"I don't know, I was about to ask the prince" Chang Yu is also mentally prepared, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in a mansion, even if Daming is exhausted at the moment, there are two or three thousand, in addition to the vacancy of empty salary, there must be one or two thousand.
King Heng stretched out two fingers, Chang Yu knew that it was eight, and eight thousand was impossible: "Eight hundred? ”
Zhu Youdi nodded vigorously: "There were more than 2,000 in fifteen years, and that year the Tartars sent thousands of troops to besiege Qingzhou City, and Li Shiyuan led his troops to defend the battle to the end, but he also suffered heavy casualties in the past two years, and he has not filled the gap, and there are only eight hundred left on the books, and it is not known in fact."
Chang Yu smiled bitterly! I knew that I was poor, but I didn't expect to be so poor!
How do you fight more than eight hundred thousand?
King Heng saw Chang Yu smiling bitterly and was silent in his heart, and he hid his face with his hands and cried in his whining, completely losing the dignity of a vassal king, perhaps thinking of those difficult brothers and brothers who were raided by the Tartars and the thief army, and he didn't think that he was going to follow in the footsteps, how could he not be sad, not to mention that he was already timid and cowardly.
Chang Yu couldn't bear to see his posture like this, so he comforted: "Our family once protected the King of Jin in Taiyuan, and hundreds of thousands of thieves besieged the city at that time......
"This king has heard of the great achievements of Chang Gonggong, but at that time, you had nearly 100,000 troops in Taiyuan City, Taiyuan is a city with high walls and thick walls, but what is there in Qingzhou Mansion, how can a few hundred people stop tens of thousands of Tartars, but Tartars are a hundred times more ferocious than the thief army!" Zhu Xianxuan wailed in a low voice.
Chang Yu shook his head and was silent when he saw this, come on! The gentlemen ran for a few days and nights, and they were tired to death, and they didn't bother to coax you.
After a while, the carriage drove into the Hengwang Mansion, Chang Yu got off the car and went to the main hall with Zhu Youdi, and Chen Suole and other relatives had their own palace housekeepers with a group of miscellaneous servants with good tea and good food to serve.
King Heng was irritable and restless, and introduced Chang Yu into the lobby of the main hall, and was about to let people arrange wine and food while eating to discuss how to resist the enemy, but Chang Yu had eaten the princes' picnic outside the city before, but he was too tired and sweaty in the past few days, and he was really uncomfortable with sweat, so he said to King Heng: "Ask for a clean room to bathe and rest."
Damn, what time is it, and thinking about taking a bath and sleeping, Zhu Youdi can't wait to scold but he is really gutsless, and he seems to smell the smell of sweat on Chang Yu's body, so he asked a maid to lead Chang Yu to wash and rest.
"Father, make a good living and retreat!" There were only Zhu Youdi's father and son in the lobby, Shizi frowned and said in a low voice, Zhu Youdi looked up at Shizi: "What is the way out you are talking about?" ”
Zhu Ci'an glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "There are tens of thousands of Tartars, how can there be no soldiers and no generals in the city to resist the enemy, if the city is broken...... Father should pack up early and be ready to leave."
Ay! Zhu Youdi stomped his feet: "I don't know if I am a father, but if I leave the fief without the emperor's holy decree, it is a big crime!" Didn't he send this big eunuch to keep an eye on us, but that little eunuch is known as prestigious, and he may be able to defend Qingzhou City."
"Father" Zhu Ci'an was a little anxious: "It's just a matter of cutting the lord without permission, if the city falls into our Heng Palace, the Tartars will be razed to the ground, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" It is rumored that the little eunuch will fight, but it is just a rumor, who has seen it with his own eyes, there are a few eunuchs and eunuchs who can fight, and there are many rumors, and a few are really all presumptuous moves! ”
"This ......" Zhu Youdi was immediately speechless, he was already a timid and afraid person, his heart was even more chaotic, he didn't dare to violate the ancestral rules but was also afraid of death, and he didn't know how to choose for a while: "Maybe this little eunuch is a person with real skills, otherwise if he knows that he is dead, why would he enter this Qingzhou City, and you see that he is not panicked at all, maybe he has a way to deal with it......"
Zhu Ci'an thought about it and had some reason, the tens of thousands of Tartar troops were approaching, and the little eunuch couldn't run inside knowing that the city was dead, he could wait for the Qing army to break the city and then come over to go through the motions, why bother desperately crossing the line of fire to come to warn, and also vowed to defend the city and fight with the Tartars.
"Maybe it's just that we are lucky, but the child doesn't believe that the soldiers at the end of the point can resist tens of thousands of Tartars, and the father still made plans early."
Zhu Youdi was silent, pacing back and forth in the hall, and finally gritted his teeth: "You quickly go to the back mansion and tell your mother to clean up, just in case, as for how to ...... More on that later".
Zhu Ci'an responded and left in a hurry, and the housekeeper reported: the prefect Qian Lianghan and the guard Li Shiyuan came, and King Heng sighed: "Please invite them into the palace."
Qian Lianghan and Li Shiyuan can be described as the pillars of Qingzhou Mansion, the two have been operating in Qingzhou for several years and have a good relationship with King Heng, at this time, Wen Zhao heard some rumors and came in a hurry.
The two of them entered the palace with a solemn face, Qian Lianghan was the first to hear that someone from Dongchang came to Qingzhou, and King Heng also asked him to go out of the city to greet him, and he sneered at the time, greeting the eunuch? Let people poke me in the back and scold, I won't go.
But in his heart, he also muttered what the Dongchang people were doing in Qingzhou, and it was the big eunuch who heard that the war was very powerful and personally led the team, saying that there were hundreds of fans brought.
Isn't it something that King Heng has committed in such a big move? It's impossible, King Heng is timid and afraid of things, usually he stares at it openly and secretly, and he doesn't find anything unusual!
Is it pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Dongchang has always been very good at collecting intelligence, presumably because he had some evidence, and the emperor asked his henchmen to investigate it in person.
If that's the case, will you be implicated? Qian Lianghan is also up and down in the palace, in fact, the vassal king in the early Ming Dynasty can still point fingers at the magistrates, and Zhu Di has no right to dispose of the magistrates after that, and these magistrates still have the responsibility of secretly monitoring the palace.
As mentioned earlier, there are also official positions in the palace, and the left and right long histories, and the book are all appointed by the emperor, saying that it is for the vassal king to manage the palace, but in fact, it is to monitor, but later these palace officials knew that there was no hope of promotion, but they were desperate to serve the palace, and the magistrates became the main force of surveillance.
Just when Qian Lianghan was restless, the royal family came to report that the king had summoned him to the palace to discuss important matters, and also brought news that spread throughout the city: tens of thousands of Tartar troops are coming to the city!
Tartars! Qian Lianghan was shocked on the spot.
Li Shiyuan is similar to him, but he first heard about the horse thief and then heard that it was Dongchang, and when he was confused, he said that the Tartars were coming, and he was immediately furious: Strictly investigate those who spread rumors!
Until the royal house is stamped, this is not a rumor! Li Shiyuan, who was pressed with ten thousand catties of stone in his heart, also came in a hurry.
When the two of them entered the hall, they saw King Heng with a dead face lying on the Taishi chair, looking loveless, and hurriedly saluted, Zhu Youdi sighed and waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, this is not so red tape, the two sat down, and the prince Zhu Ci'an hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare tea.
Qian Lianghan swept around, and said suspiciously: "Lord Wang, how can you see people when you hear that the eunuch of Dongchang is coming?" ”
Zhu Youdi sighed again: "I said that I was tired all the way and wanted to go to the rest meeting."
"Hmph, the tens of thousands of Tartar troops are about to come to the city, but he has to go to sleep, these eunuchs, seriously...... I can't figure it out! Qian Lianghan snorted angrily, and Li Shiyuan next to him was also angry, the eunuch supervision system began with Chengzu, because he had to help some henchmen and monks when he raised the army, so he especially trusted the ministers, and there were eunuchs to supervise the army, but these have been criticized by the government and the opposition for hundreds of years.
In fact, these eunuchs who did not understand military affairs did play a role in the decline of the Ming Dynasty and even destructively, and it is no wonder that the courtiers and generals were extremely disgusted with the eunuchs.
But I didn't expect that the great eunuch of Dongchang, who suddenly became famous in the past few months, was also so virtuous, Qian Lianghan and Li Shiyuan were disappointed, maybe Taiyuan and Guanwai were the credit of Zhou Yuji and Wu Sangui, who was taken by this big eunuch, and he was a person who deceived the world and stole his name.
The two of them had an impression of Chang Yu and suddenly plummeted down to three thousand feet.
