Death is not actually the most terrible, the most devastating, there is nothing more than the torment before death!

It is really pressure to generate motivation, and in the seventeen years since he succeeded to the throne, he tripped Wei Zhongxian and encouraged his ministers to charge into battle, and Emperor Chongzhen, who picked up the fruits of victory in the back, was the first time that he played the vanguard.

"Isn't Mr. Chen going to return to his hometown? I'm ready, go back and hand over the documents of the ministry, let's go!"

It was still the depressing meeting of the important ministers, or the dead silence of the Heart Cultivation Palace, after more than ten days of relative silence, Chongzhen's words suddenly sounded like thunder, and in an instant, Chen Yan, who was there, was struck by lightning, and he suddenly fell to the ground.

Although the position of the first assistant university scholar is like a fire pit, the power status it represents still makes this old guy stunned.

You didn't understand the hatred, paced to his side, looked at the lost Chen Yan, Chongzhen suppressed his anger, and asked meaningfully: "Don't do it, Mr. wants to do it!" I want to do it, but don't do it! Sir think about it! ”

never gave Chen Yan a chance to explain or excuse himself, after saying this, Chongzhen directly drank Ling Jinyiwei and inserted the paralyzed Chen Yan.

After more than 30 days, Chongzhen finally made a move, after all, the power of the emperor was especially there, Chen Yan was taken down while speaking, and he lost the qualification to continue gambling at this table.

"The minister is guilty!"

After a delay of more than a month, Emperor Chongzhen finally took out the responsibility and courage that a political leader should have, returned to the dragon chair, and looked at the kneeling ministers.

"Spread my will, abandon the Ningyuan Mountain Pass, and the Liaozhen army will retreat immediately! Defend the Beijing Division, issue the edict of King Qin, call on the soldiers and horses of the world to defend the imperial court, and the military department will immediately pass on my will, there must be no mistake!"

How is it anymore? How? The tone of such an inquiry is to make the mouth of self-respect, and the responsibility is also from the top! In Emperor Chongzhen's surprisingly stiff uprightness, coupled with the fact that the toughest opposition was brought down, the six cabinet departments finally received the order and kowtowed neatly.

"Obey the order!"

This voice, even Chen Yan, who had been dragged out of a cluster of palace gates, heard it clearly, and suddenly, the embarrassed lost soul on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a crazy smile, in the expression of escorting the Jinyi Guard, he raised his head, laughed wildly, and immediately shook off the clamp of the two Jinyi Guards, laughed loudly and stumbled out of the palace gate.

…………

More than a dozen brocade-clothed guards scattered out of Sijiu City, and the military department, which had always been troubled by the military department that had no money or money, and could not even afford to investigate, was in danger of losing their officials and going to prison, so they sent out the edict on the same day.

And Emperor Chongzhen, who has always been mean and unkind, finally opened his mind, in order to defend the Beijing Division, mobilize the enthusiasm of the generals, and was surprisingly generous, in the holy decree, he added Wu Sangui as Ping Xibo, Ping thief general Zuo Liangyu as Ning Nanbo, Jizhen General Tang Tong as Ding Xibo, Luzhou General Huang Degong as Jing Nanbo, and several generals in the world are also at the level of additional officials, hoping to lure those general soldiers to fight for the country, in addition to the founding of the country and Jingyan, this is the most knighted in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the world's military generals, this time the Mao family also got an unexpected harvest, whether it was Mao Wenlong's affection to scatter his family wealth, or out of the idea of winning over Liaodong at a critical juncture, an unexpected holy decree still came to Mao's mansion.

"Old minister Mao Wenlong, take the order!"

In the courtyard, he borrowed a yellow silk from Liu'anbo next door and spread it on the incense case, and with his family, Mao Wenlong knelt heavily on the ground, holding his hands upward.

The eunuch Xu Gao, who delivered the decree, had a round face full of smiles, and hurriedly recited the decree with a playful smile.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Mao Jue, the king of Liao, is brave and good at fighting, respectful and benevolent, defeating the barbarians who have been in trouble for decades in the imperial court, recovering our country's land, and defending one side for me, and he is the best among the people!"

"The seventh daughter of the emperor, Princess Changping, virtuous and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, her age is appropriate, I am looking for talents, and there is no one left or right of the king of Liao, so I specially married the seventh daughter of the emperor Changping as the princess of Liao, and chose the day to marry in Beijing, so I admire this!"

"Congratulations to my husband for tying the knot!"

"Thank you, father-in-law, thank you, Your Majesty!"

With a smile on his face, Xu Gao handed the holy decree to Mao Wenlong's hands with both hands, and his face was also full of joy, Mao Wenlong stretched out his hand and wanted the housekeeper to send silver, but when his hand was halfway out, he remembered that he had donated all his belongings, and in desperation, he took off the jade plate given by the emperor in his waist and stuffed it into Xu Gao's hand.

"Oops! Old man, this can't be helped! I can't help it!"

"This is pleasing money, thank my father-in-law for this big matchmaker, my father-in-law doesn't accept it, don't you look down on me Mao!"

"This, our family is reluctant to make it difficult! Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Grandpa!"

It's really a bit helpless, the Mao family is already a king and a prince! Give Mao Jue's eldest son Mao Xingjian a knighthood again? People can inherit the throne of the Liao King in the future, who is rare?

The only thing that can be done is marriage, not to mention, in all dynasties, the imperial court has strengthened the relationship with the king with a different surname, and marriage is a common means, the only point, Mao Jue is not a bachelor, not to mention, his wife has been named a wife before! This princess got married, and she has a bit of a taste of being a junior.

However, the situation is pressing, and Emperor Chongzhen, who has already been let out, can't take care of it anyway.

However, this is also an excellent political marriage for Dongjiang, in this way, the Mao family is also a relative of the emperor, from the perspective of natural reason, the son-in-law inherits the property of the father-in-law, although it cannot be said to be justified, it is reasonable to say that it is reasonable, once Mao Jue has any big moves in the future, it is reasonable to call on those old ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

It is indeed a big unexpected happy event, Mao's house is lively, it is simply beating gongs and drums, and the warmth and coldness of people are also vividly reflected here, every year Emperor Chongzhen will have a large number of rewards for these noble royal relatives, and when the court is in urgent need, they are simply a dime, and they take out dozens of taels to deal with things, but now Mao Wenlong, the father of the hot minister, is doing a happy event, and a group of sons and nobles are just like flies that smell stinky meat.

As soon as he heard that Mao Wenlong was poor and took off the jade pendant from his waist as a reward, the neighbor on the right, Liu'anbo, was simply angry, gritted his teeth, and didn't wait for Xu Gao to go out, he stopped the father-in-law, took 10,000 taels of silver as pleasing money, and ransomed the jade pendant, Mao Wenlong refused to ask for it, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

There is more than one smart person, like Pinglu Bo, Fuchunhou, a group of people who usually want to dig out the Dingbei Mansion from this noble area, and the neighbors who go out are all detours, and they are also like magic, and they don't ask children to come to the door with expensive gifts to congratulate them.

What the? The Dingbei Mansion can't afford to hold a reward banquet? Tell us! Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!

It is rare for Jingshi to invite Bapinju, Liuhesheng and other famous buildings, the chef is a group to come, and the back kitchen in Dingbei Mansion is like a cooking competition, changing tricks.

There is also the top sign in front of the fence gate, what Qiuli girl, Miss Xiangmo, a big star at the time, known as an elegant cultural person, also like a beggar who came to ask for money, a swarm of bees poured into the door, Mao Wenlong didn't wait for a reaction, the entire Mao Mansion was already full.

Of course, what is even more indispensable is the gift, the silver is not in sight, the lowest thing that people sell is gold, and there are all kinds of cherished elixirs, ginseng in the north, bird's nest in the south, shark pearls in the sea, rare treasures on weekdays are gathered here, and Mao Wenlong was dumbfounded.

However, the most sad thing here is Xu Gao, he single-handedly handled the donation to the nobles, the emperor pulled down the old face, tossed twice, but only raised about 300,000 taels, this Mao Wenlong is estimated to receive 300,000 taels of gifts, this is just relying on the nobles of a stable workshop near the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the warmth and coldness of the people, it can be seen!

But just when he was stunned, a graceful and elegant female voice sounded in his ears.

"The concubine came to see Grandpa Xu!"

"Oh? Mrs. Mao! We're courteous! ”

Leng Buding came back to his senses, looking at Chen Jiao, who was dressed in a sackcloth and plain skirt, he didn't know when he stood in front of him, Xu Gao was really startled, and then he replied with some embarrassment.

This trip to Mao's Mansion, I'm afraid the biggest loser of the Mao family is none other than her, the lady of the main house, the princess entered the Mao Mansion and robbed her of her position, not to mention, once Princess Changping gave birth to a boy, it is very likely that Mao Xingjian, the eldest son's status as a scholar, will not be guaranteed.

Seeing Chen Jiao, this eunuch was like Xu Gao, and he had a feeling of being a little weak.

Who knew that Chen Jiao was still so graceful, and handed the booklet in her arms to Xu Gao.

"This is the gift book received today, if it is unstable today, the dowry of the King of Liao can't be shipped for a while, the court is using money, and the Mao family can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha! Just a gift, I hope my father-in-law will bring it back to the palace, and it can be regarded as a modest contribution for His Majesty!"

was really stunned, full of incredulity and stunned for a few seconds, Xu Gao bent down heavily and bowed to Chen Jiao.

"Madame Gaoyi! We will take it to heart!"

At this time, what Mao Fu wants to show is to be low-key and enthusiastic about the country at the same time, so that in the future power changes, in the hearts of the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, win greater political points! If Chongzhen knew that Mao Wenlong had received more than 300,000 taels of gifts, he would definitely be unhappy in his heart, and those previous shows would be in vain! Mao Wenlong didn't react a little, but Chen Jiao was extremely sober and dealt with all this tail.
