Chapter 828: Eyes in the Sand (Eighth Update, 2/5 for Book Friends' Monthly Pass)
"I really want to go out with you to fight!" Zhu Cihong came to the sentence for no reason.
Sometimes he is really a little envious of Liu Hongchuan, envying his chic, and at the same time envious of his style of doing things.
It's just that there are some things that can't be learned, limited to identity, and limited to cognition.
"When I finish training Dongying, I can take you for a walk." Liu Hong gradually said jokingly.
"Then it's better to go to the Rakshasa like this, take me with you, I promise not to meddle in any affairs." Zhu Cihong said again.
"Why did I turn to this topic again, no, if something goes wrong, how can I explain to the Empress Dowager Zhou? Aren't the courtiers going to come and cut me with machetes?
Go to bed! Go to bed! From now on, whoever is talking is a dog! ”
……
The next day, Liu Hong gradually followed Zhu Cihong into the palace, but because the conversation was too late last night, the two of them did not catch up with the early dynasty, and when they stayed in the palace, the sun was already on the five poles.
When Empress Dowager Zhou saw the two, she glared at Zhu Cihong, but did not reprimand her, and showed Liu Hong a seat, but Zhu Cihong stood aside.
"Youming has been working hard for the court in the past few years, and Cihong is young and ignorant, which really bothers you." Empress Dowager Zhou is always so kind, as if she was saying it to her own children.
Zhu Cihong stood aside and didn't dare to make a sound, although he was already twenty years old, he was obedient like a primary school student who was checking his homework next to Queen Zhou.
"I can't bear the Queen Mother's praise like this, the minister is just repaying the favor, Cihong is now skillful in handling government affairs, and he has the demeanor of a wise gentleman.
It's the Queen Mother, you should pay more attention to your body, you can go out for a walk with the Queen Mother Yi'an if you have nothing to do.
The county king's mansion on the west mountain is the minister's home, and the minister feels that this palace is your home, and people can't always stay at home, just like the minister goes out to do business, and he should go outside to see the scenery. Liu Hong's words were very respectful.
He was an orphan in his previous life, and he had never seen his mother in this life, and he has always been very grateful to Queen Zhou who took care of him very much.
After Uncle Chongzhen died, the Empress Dowager Zhou was obviously much older, and it was only two years, and it was the great woman in front of her, the woman who was once the queen of the huge empire, who lived with Chongzhen in patched clothes.
Liu Hong gradually knew that there were many rules in the palace, and he hated these useless rules, but he didn't dare to say it too rudely, so he could only express his thoughts in euphemistic words.
He felt a little sorry for this elder.
Is the queen really happy? Are women who have dead husbands happy?
Forever guarding a palace, I can only see the prosperity of the outside world from books, and I haven't even seen the moon in the West Lake and the horses in the grassland once.
Alas, life is always so fair, you get glory, you lose your freedom, you get power, and at the same time you are bonded.
"Hehe, this palace is old, and he can't walk, I hope you can help Cihong more and let him see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty." Empress Dowager Zhou smiled with relief and then said.
After saying this, Liu Hong was gradually stunned.
In Empress Dowager Zhou's words, he naturally did not refer to Zhu Cihong.
"The minister misses him a little, and the minister wants to go to pay tribute." Liu Hong gradually felt sad in his heart, and snorted.
"Go, you didn't catch up with the battle outside at the anniversary festival last year, so Cihong will also go with Youming." Empress Zhou sighed and said.
"Yes, my son obeys." Zhu Cihong said very honestly.
……
Out of the palace all the way to the north, Liu Hongjian and Zhu Cihong did not rely on it as usual, more than 3,000 tiger camp guards left and right to open the way, and the group rushed to the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen in just over an hour.
Zhu Cihong started crying before he reached the door of the mausoleum, and he didn't know if the burden on his body was too heavy over the years, or if he missed Chongzhen too much, anyway, he was crying a lot.
The surrounding guards of the Tiger Ben Camp were also peers from the martial arts hall, and Zhu Cihong was even familiar with most of them, and he didn't care about the guards, so he cried and knelt down in front of Chongzhen's mausoleum.
Liu Hong gradually did not cry, he carried a pot of wine in his hand, a pot of Liaodong soju, which Chongzhen liked to drink most during his lifetime, walked behind Zhu Cihong and sat down expressionlessly, and then opened the wine stopper and began to drink.
After a long while, Zhu Cihong stopped crying, and turned around to see Liu Honggradually sitting without speaking.
"Liu Qing, why don't you cry." Zhu Cihong asked with tears in his eyes.
He knew that in Liu Hongji's heart, his father had an extremely important position, otherwise he would not have sat down for him.
"Hehe, I'm just here to talk to the emperor, have you finished crying, let's go out first." Liu Hong gradually smiled and said to Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong didn't know why, knelt in front of Chongzhen's mausoleum and muttered for a while, what would he strive to be a Mingjun and the like, and then walked to the outside of the mausoleum with a handful of snot and tears.
Silence, long-lasting silence, silence for half an hour, Liu Hong gradually got up.
He took another wine glass from the tray behind him, and staggered to the front of Uncle Chongzhen's mausoleum and sat down.
"Uncle, I'm coming to see you, are you okay?" Liu Hong smiled slightly, and then filled both wine glasses with wine.
"It's been two years since you went down, alas, these two years have hurt me, and I regret it a little!"
Liu Hong gradually sprinkled a glass of wine in front of the mausoleum, picked up another glass of wine and drank it all.
"Did you see that? The potatoes and sweet potatoes that we vigorously promoted back then have now entered everyone's family, and now the people of Daming no longer have to suffer from hunger. ”
"Now that the Ming Dynasty has successively included the Northeast, Menggu, North Korea, Xinjiang, and Taiwan into the territory, our Ming Dynasty's territory is much larger than when you were alive, how about it, I'm amazing, right?"
Liu Hong smiled gradually, but there were already tears in his eyes, he sprinkled another glass of wine for Chongzhen, and then took a big sip himself.
"The Beiyang Naval Division has gradually become stronger, and when the new ironclad ship is successfully developed, I will be able to take our Ming soldiers to gallop to any corner of the world.
It's a pity, I said I was going to take you to see the world, but unfortunately I just took you to the Northeast to drink the cold wind for a few months.
Also, Kunxing and I already have a child, and when he is sensible, I will definitely take him to worship you again. Liu Hongjian took another big sip of wine.
"Actually, I'm not a person from this world at all!" He lifted his sleeves and wiped his eyes, but he couldn't stop the tears.
"But I'm thankful for the old man, even though he may not be in the same vein as you, and I don't regret losing my TV, computer, and video games forever.
I don't regret all these years of fighting in the south and the north, my hands are stained with blood, and my footprints are all over Kyushu, I don't regret these.
I only regret that I didn't come up with a way to cure your illness in the first place, I regret it! After speaking, Liu Hong gradually lay down in front of the mausoleum and cried.
I don't know how long it took, Zhu Cihong was waiting outside in a hurry, and Liu Hong gradually walked out of the mausoleum with heavy steps.
"Liu Qing, why are your eyes red?" Zhu Cihong said with concern.
"It's okay, my eyes got into the sand just now."
