"Oh, are you the woman who was rescued by the Ming army on the road?"

The next day, when Makata was led to Ingmar, Ingrama frowned, looked Makata up and down carefully after a tattered Mongolian robe with a scabbed and dirty face, and said slowly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Makata stared directly at the other side dressed in fine clothes, but because of the fierce battle all night, he did not rest well, and his eyes were slightly swollen, and nodded slightly.

"Hehe, you, a Qing woman, have been in danger several times, but they are all fine, but your fate is very big." Ingmar laughed: "It's just that if it weren't for the timely action of the Ming army, I'm afraid that you would have fed the wolves on the grassland earlier, speaking of which, you should really thank my husband's soldiers for saving your life in time." ”

An embarrassed smile erupted into Makata's face.

It's just that in her heart, it is extremely bitter.

Hmph, what did you say to save my life, if it weren't for this bastard Li Xiao, what kind of bullshit Ming and Qing Dynasty discussions and marriages, how would I let me, who was engaged to my lover, marry that Emperor Chongzhen as a concubine, and bury the happiness that should have belonged to me.

If it weren't for him, how could he have been forced to elope with his lover and escape, and he was chased and killed, so that his lover lost his life, and he was left alone in this world, living alone and confused.

You are such a newlywed Yan'er, when you are talking to me and me, have you ever thought about how sad I am in my heart!

Hmph, if there was a good opportunity, Ben Gege would have killed this hateful Li Xiao with a knife!

If not, in order to deliberately get close to you and become your maid, so that you can have more opportunities to get close to Li Xiao, so that one day you can successfully assassinate him, my Gulun Wenzhuang princess of the Great Qing Kingdom, Makata, why bother here, let you, a small princess of the Tumut Department, comment so critically.

Makata had infinite hatred in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.

"Well, this princess doesn't want to delve into your past. I think you also know that my husband has arranged for you to be my maid, how about it, but are you willing? “

Ingmar finished speaking, and looked at her inquiringly.

A smile appeared on Makata's face, and he nodded: "The little girl Yagren, who was originally unaccompanied and lonely, was taken in by her wife, and she was grateful, how dare she refuse." “

"That's good, then you go take a shower first, change into clean clothes, these days, you have a good rest, and after three days, you can return to Han with me and my husband." Ingmar smiled.

Makata bowed her head in answer, and a maid led her down.

Unexpectedly, just as she turned her head and walked away, behind her, Ingmar's voice came again.

"Yagren, you remember, although this princess can ignore your past, I hope that you can serve me and my husband well, if you have any bad thoughts and actions, don't blame me for not reminding you then!"

Ingmar's words were inexplicably cold.

Makata's heart trembled, she hesitated, and subconsciously turned around, but Ingmar had already stood up from her chair and turned away.

At a small stream not far from the Khan's court, Makata stripped off the dirty, smelly Mongolian man's robe, untied his hair that had been knotted and glued, and plunged into the cool and comfortable stream.

The light and shadow flowed, the stream was in an uproar, and he couldn't help but shed tears when he looked at himself unkempt on the stream.

She washed for about half an hour, and after washing away all the foul and dirt on her body, she got up from the river and changed into the clothes of the Mongolian woman that Ingmar had given her.

Although it was ordinary, it was a close-fitting woman's clothes, and when she wore it, she suddenly showed her graceful and uneven figure.

Seeing the Makata after bathing and freshening up, as soon as the original dirty image was gone, it was quite beautiful and moving, and Ingmar was also very satisfied.

"Yes, that's what my maid looks like." Ingmar looked her up and down and chuckled, "Okay, you can serve me every day like them, and remember what I just said to you." ”

Makata was stunned again, then nodded with difficulty.

Originally, Li Xiao planned to leave with Ingmar the day after he got married, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Tumuthan Dabur and the royal family. Moreover, Li Xiao also considered that it would not be easy to take Ingmar back to Shandong and then come to the Tumut Department, so he agreed to stay for three days before returning.

So, in the past three days, Li Xiao and his subordinates spent every day in a feast, and at night they hugged their concubines to sleep, and their lives were comfortable.

Three days later, Li Xiao and his party finally bid farewell to the Tumut tribe and set off to return to Jintang City.

Ingmar's mother, Fujin Qileg, put her arms around her daughter Ingmar and cried endlessly, preventing her from riding away. In the end, it was Dabur who personally persuaded him, and finally separated the mother and daughter, who were already crying with red eyes.

And Li Xiao himself once again promised Dabur and Legg that he would take good care of Ingmar and not let her suffer any grievances and injuries, so that Ingmar finally broke free from her mother's arms and let one of her uncles ride on a horse covered with gold and silver.

Subsequently, Li Xiao and Ingmar, following the customs of the Mongolian people, slowly circled around the court tent of the Khan King three times before waving goodbye to Tumut Khan Dapur, Fujin Qileg, and a group of royal family members.

After Li Xiao's whole army set off, behind them, all the girls of the Tumut Department sang in unison the farewell song, and the long and distant song made Ingmar, a bold and strong girl, burst into tears.

A few days later, Li Xiao and the others returned to Jintang City.

After coming to Jintang City, Makata was quickly deeply shocked by this prosperous Jintang City.

She saw here that the caravans outside the city were endless, the factories in the city were standing one after another, and countless products and commercial goods were traded here.

As if seeing Makata's surprise, Ingmar, who was surrounded in the middle, said with a triumphant face: "Yagren, don't you know, this prosperous city was originally just a deserted border fortress, all built by my husband with his own strength. ”

Makata sighed, and his heart was full of shock.

This Li Xiao, with just one strength, can build such a prosperous and prosperous border city, this person's ability really can't be underestimated.

When Makata was secretly surprised, Ingmar smiled and said to her: "You, don't look like you haven't seen the world, when you follow me to my husband's Chifeng City in Shandong, you will understand what real prosperity is." Such a prosperous atmosphere, I and other people who have lived in the border for a long time, but I can't imagine it at all. ”

Makata sighed and said no more.

After entering the city, Li Xiao appointed Xu Xiu, the former director of the Supervision and Restoration Department, as the governor of the Abaghanar region, responsible for the construction of Xilin City in the local area, the establishment of various official offices, and the arrangement of Han refugees, mining minerals, grazing cattle and sheep, etc.

Li Xiao demanded that because the Xilin City to be built was not large, and there were sufficient labor and materials, he asked Xu Xiu to build the city thoroughly in about three months, so that before the weather in the north of the country became extremely cold and the land was difficult to excavate, the soldiers and civilians could have a strong city to live in.

Xu Xiu readily agreed and assured Li Xiao that the construction work would be completed on time.

At this time, more than 10,000 displaced people who had gathered outside Jintang City and had no formal jobs happened to be all selected by Xu Xiu as the main force to go to the development of the Abahanar region.

At the same time, a large number of builders and mine craftsmen also set off with the displaced people.

The General Soldiers and Horses of the Golden Wolf Battalion were led by its commander-in-chief, Liu Wenxiu, and then took the 600 Flying Harrier Light Horsemen to the Abahanar region with the displaced people to serve as a garrison guard.

Seeing that he had been appointed by Chifeng Bo Li Xiao as the future general of Xilin City, the nineteen-year-old young general Liu Wenxiu, the third son of the former rogue Zhang Xianzhong, was very grateful and expressed his loyalty to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao smiled and comforted him, and then gave him one of his own portable swords as a reward.

After arranging all the things in Jintang City, Li Xiao took Ingmar and a group of escorts to leave Jintang City and return to Shandong.

Li Xiao and others, fifteen days later, went all the way south and returned to Dengzhou City in Shandong.

When passing through the Red Phoenix City, after seeing the prosperous scene of the local area, Makata was even more impressed in his heart.

She saw that in Chifeng City, on both sides of the wide bluestone slab central street, there were many large wholesale markets, as well as large buildings such as carriage and horse shops, warehouse areas, and neatly planned civilian areas and rich areas. Here pedestrians shoulder to shoulder, traffic, noisy people, a lively scene.

And when he walked out of the north gate of Chifeng City and saw the Longkou Port that looked like a huge open dragon's mouth, Makata was even more eye-opening.

She saw from a distance that in this huge port, the blue waves were rippling, the sea and the sky were colorful, and there were hundreds of ships of all sizes. There are also many ants and transporters, carrying goods back and forth on the ships and docks, busy endlessly.

Batches of grain, tea, porcelain, cloth, wine, wooden utensils, traditional Chinese medicine, rouge gouache and other materials were constantly unloaded from the ship and transported into Chifeng City through the official road. Boxes of ironware, cigarettes, swords, raw silk, woollen wool, silk, sea salt, and other commercial goods were constantly transported out of Chifeng City, passed through Longkou Port, and were transported on various merchant ships.

And a wide and smooth official road, winding into the distance, connects the port and Chifeng City. On this official road, four-wheeled carriages, two-wheeled vehicles, wheelbarrows, human-powered sedan chairs, and pedestrians carrying commercial goods are crowded and endless.

On both sides of the official road, there are all kinds of shops, shops, restaurants, teahouses, shouting and shouting one after another.

After visiting the Makata in Chifeng City, I can deeply feel that the prosperity of the entire Chifeng City can be described as a heaven and an underground compared with the Shengjing where I stayed before. Moreover, although this Chifeng City is prosperous and lively, and there are many business travelers, it is orderly and orderly.

When she heard Ingmar proudly tell her that this Chifeng City was built by her husband Li Xiao with her own strength, Makata sighed in her heart, and her heart was inexplicably complicated.

After Li Xiao and others had just returned to Dengzhou City, they heard Chen Zilong praise in front of the army and reported a major event to him.

That is, just two days before Li Xiao's return, news came from the DPRK that the first assistant Wen Tiren was ordered by Chongzhen to go to work and return to his hometown.

It turned out that recently, Wen Tiren's minion Zhang Hanru, in order to bring down Qian Qianyi, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who had always been at odds with him, framed Wen Tiren and murdered him, saying that Qian Qianyi had made a group of friends in the township, spreading strange theories and slandering the government all day long, and he was really suspicious.

In order to completely defeat Qian Qianyi, Wen Tiren took the opportunity to arrest Qian Qianyi and others, and at the same time listed his crimes, preparing to kill him, at least let him resign and return to his hometown.

Qian Qianyi felt very wronged, and he was deeply afraid of the catastrophe, so he asked Cao Huachun, the eunuch who had been friends with him, for help. After Zhang Hanru learned about this, he hurriedly reported it to Wen Tiren.

Because in the past year or so, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun, who originally had a good relationship, have begun to deteriorate because of some personal matters, and the relationship between the two has become increasingly cold. Wen Tiren, who believed that Emperor Chongzhen had deep favor, sent a secret letter to Chongzhen, in addition to asking him to severely punish Qian Qianyi, who formed a party for personal gain and discussed the government in vain, and asked the emperor to deal with Cao Huachun, the eunuch who wanted to protect Qian Qianyi.

What Tiren never expected was that Emperor Chongzhen was actually in his heart, and he was already quite dissatisfied with him, the first assistant who was good at internal fighting but had no way to govern the country. So, the emperor transferred Wen Tiren's secret recital to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun was very panicked when he saw this vicious secret performance, and repeatedly kowtowed to the emperor to ask for guilt, and at the same time, he recommended himself and asked to personally preside over the trial of Qian Qianyi's case, so as to find out the truth and clear himself. Chongzhen thought about it and agreed to Cao Huachun's request.

Soon, Cao Huachun and Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to join forces, and soon figured out the origin and inside story of the matter.

He quickly reported the whole matter to the emperor, and Emperor Chongzhen was furious.

The reason why the emperor is so angry is not that he is bitter and gentle, and he uses his power for personal gain and rejects dissidents. Rather, it was not until this moment that he finally knew that Wen Tiren, who had always pretended to be without a party and without a party in front of him, was dedicated to the public, but in fact, in the imperial court, a "friend party" headed by Wen Tiren had already been formed, which Chongzhen absolutely could not tolerate.

The young emperor had a deep sense of being deceived.

Chongzhen immediately ordered Zhang Hanru and other Wen Tiren minions to be immediately shackled to death to show the court's punishment. Shoufu Wen Tiren saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly pretended to be sick at home, not daring to go to court.

He originally thought that he had served for many years, and there was no merit and hard work, and Emperor Chongzhen would definitely appease and keep him. Unexpectedly, only three days after the shackles of Zhang Hanru and others, Wen Tiren was eating at home, and Emperor Chongzhen sent a holy decree ordering Wen Tiren to be stripped of all his official titles and let him go to work and return to his hometown.

Wen Tiren saw that after the eunuch who came to announce the decree finished reading the holy decree, he was so frightened that the spoon in his hand fell to the ground. Subsequently, this famous traitor in the middle of Chongzhen finally left the capital with his family and servants and returned to his hometown in Wucheng, Zhejiang.

After that, the old fritter of officialdom, known as a good man, Zhang Zhifa, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, replaced Wen Tiren and served as the first assistant.

After Chen Zilong finished saying Wen Tiren's resignation, Li Xiao smiled and said: "This is exactly what happened, the initiator, and there is no aftermath." Wen Tiren was selfish and deceitful, rejected dissidents, and attacked the enemy, but he pretended to be honest and deceived the emperor. According to this official, the current ending is a light hair for him. ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he asked Chen Zilong again: "Zilong, Wen Tiren's matter, don't talk about him." Now that this official has been away from Shandong for a long time, he doesn't know what the situation is in Dengzhou, as well as in Jeju, Taiwan, and Monk An, Mo Changrong and others who were sent abroad to suppress bandits. ”
