Seeing that the meeting was over and the emperor wanted to get up and leave, Shen Zizheng finally couldn't help but come out and ask the emperor to speak.

Zhu Youzhen, who had already gotten up half of his body from the chair, sat back again, waved his hand at the attendant who wanted to stop Shen Zizheng, and then said, "You are the Shen family Shen..."

Standing beside the emperor, Liu Jingting bowed down and whispered in the emperor's ear: "This is Shen Zizheng of the Shen family in Wujiang, the nephew of Shen Jing, a composer of the Wujiang School who compiled the "Thirteen Tunes of the Southern Nine Palaces". ”

Except for Feng Menglong and Ling Mengchu, because of the memory of three words and two beats, they were hand-picked by Chongzhen, and everyone else was recommended by Liu Jingting and others.

Chongzhen just wanted a team that could write or play according to his will, so as to promote the New Deal. He didn't think about finding any celebrities.

However, it is clear that those who have the time and energy to write in this era are all literati who were born as scholars. That is, the so-called celebrities who are not going well in the field, even if Chongzhen wants to find a poor scholar with culture, he can't do these things of writing and arranging.

It is precisely because of the rarity of talents that Chongzhen treats these literati as much as possible to maintain a cordial attitude.

After Shen Zizheng was allowed to speak, he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a word that he wants to confide in His Majesty.

His Majesty's desire to carry out a new cultural movement to restore morale was a fundamental and fundamental strategy, and it was a great deal.

However, it will take time to cultivate the style of soldiers, and the threat of the enemy outside the customs to our Ming Dynasty has become more and more day by day, and time is running out.

The minister once went to the border and visited all parts of the northwest and eastern Liaodong..."

Shen Zizheng did not want to put forward any opinions on the New Culture Movement. He wanted to take this opportunity to explain his strategy to the emperor to level Liao.

Zhu Youzhen only listened to it briefly, and then lost interest. Although he didn't know that this literati of the Shen family had attainments in composition, he could now be sure that this Shen Zizheng could only be regarded as an amateur at best in military affairs.

When Zhu Youzhen was about to make a voice to ask him to step down, he looked at the middle-aged man who was still trying to convince him, but there was a trace of unbearability in his heart.

Perhaps Shen Zizheng had no talent in military affairs, but with his enthusiasm, he personally visited the dangerous border area. Compared with others, he is at least patriotic enough.

"Shen Qing's thinking may be promising, but after all, this is the Guozijian, and it is too inappropriate to talk about Pingliao here.

The ancients said: If the king is not secret, he will lose his country, if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed. If Shen Qing has a unique view of Pingliao, he can submit a letter to the General Staff of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, or go to the Beijing Army Military Academy to recommend himself. Here, I won't listen to you. Zhu Youzhen finally left some face for Shen Zizheng.

As Chongzhen interrupted Shen Zizheng's words, after ending this cultural meeting. Ye Shaoyuan immediately pulled Shen Zijin and Shen Zizheng home, saying that he wanted to surprise the two.

On the carriage back to Yefu, Shen Zijin behaved leisurely, while Shen Zizheng still looked indignant. The emperor was unwilling to listen to it, and the frontier terrain and strategies he had spent several years exploring and destroying the enemy made Shen Zizheng feel very hurt in his heart.

Ye Shaoyuan glanced at Shen Zizheng, and finally didn't want to touch his brother-in-law's moldy head, so he asked Shen Zijin, who was shaking his head slightly with his eyes closed: "Xilai, what kind of track are you trying to figure out, thinking so into the alley?" ”

Shen Zijin, who is indifferent to fame and loves opera, suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly: "Naturally, it is Du Shi Niang, Your Majesty is right." If Du Siniang can be put on the stage, it will definitely be a good show..."

When Shen Zizheng stepped into the gate of the Ye Mansion, the unhappiness on his face disappeared. While striding towards the middle hall, he loudly instructed the housekeeper Ye Shan to clean up a table of wine and food for the three of them, and he wanted to have a good drink with his brother-in-law and cousin.

"It's not dark yet, is Junyong going to drink?" A woman's gentle voice suddenly came into Shen Zizheng's ears.

Shen Zizheng looked up, but it was his sister who walked out of the inner hall. Although Shen Yixiu is only one year older than him, Shen Zizheng has admired this literary sister the most since he was a child.

Compared to him, the years seem to have left almost no traces on Shen Yixiu's body, and he looks like his sister. He hurriedly tidied up his clothes and greeted his sister with courtesy.

The two sisters, Ye Xiaojun and Ye Xiaoluan, who followed behind their mother, also walked out to greet the two uncles.

Seeing Ye Xiaoluan, Shen Zizheng suddenly remembered his deceased wife Zhang Qianqian, which made him feel a little ashamed.

Zhang Qianqian is his wife and his cousin, and has a deep relationship with his sister. After the children of him and his cousin died one after another, Shen Yixiu passed on his third daughter Ye Xiaoluan to his husband and wife.

However, then Shen Zizheng went north to the capital, wanting to seek a career from Biansai, but did not return for 10 years, causing his wife to die of longing, and his adopted daughter Ye Xiaoluan returned to the Ye family.

At this moment, seeing the adopted daughter who was like a girl, Shen Zizheng suddenly felt a little nostalgic for his wife and himself.

Shen Yixiu noticed the change in her brother's expression, and immediately quietly beckoned her cousin and her husband to enter the outer hall together, and then she personally cooked for the three of them to prepare wine and food.

The two sisters, Ye Xiaojun and Ye Xiaoluan, were also bombarded back to the inner courtyard by their mother, but Ye Xiaojun was not grateful to return to the small inner courtyard, she secretly pulled her sister to stand in the aisle of the inner hall, listening to the conversation between the two uncles and her father.

When Shen Yixiu returned to the inner hall with wine and food to her husband, she happened to see her two daughters preparing to escape. She couldn't help but stop the two of them and reprimanded them in a low voice.

Ye Xiaojun listened to her mother's tone and was not serious, so she and her sister each hugged one of their mother's arms and sprinkled back, perfunctory about the eavesdropping.

When Shen Yixiu was about to take the two sisters back to the backyard to see her young son, Ye Xiaojun, who was holding her left arm, suddenly asked her in a low voice: "Mother, who is this Du Shi Niang..."

After Zhu Youzhen held a meeting on the New Culture Movement from Guozijian, he did not immediately return to the palace, but went to a garden by the sea in Shicha outside Bei'anmen.

This garden was intended to be used for placement, and the propaganda department presided over by Liu Jingting inspected the repaired garden for a while, and Zhu Youzhen stopped at a small wooden pavilion by the sea.

However, after the attendants around him dispersed, Liu Jingting began to report to Chongzhen about the news coming back from Phi Dao.

Liu Cheng, a reporter from the Daming Times appointed by the minister, recently sent back the news that since they crossed the sea to Liaodong, all the islands through which the fleet passed had announced to the sergeants stationed on the islands that His Majesty was ready to take the martyrs and disabled sergeants back to the mainland for support.

All the soldiers of Liaodong Islands were grateful to His Majesty, but when the fleet arrived at Phi Dao, Mao Zhen's personal soldiers forbade them to publicize His Majesty's policies on Phi Dao, saying that it would disturb the morale of the troops in Dongjiang Town.

Later, Lord Wang personally came forward to reprimand these Mao Town's personal soldiers, so that they did not dare to prevent us from publicizing His Majesty's policy towards Dongjiang Town.

After that, Mao Zhen personally boarded the boat to greet Lord Wang and saluted very respectfully. After hearing about Lord Wang's plan to rescue Guanghaijun, Mao Zhen greatly appreciated it and suggested that he set off as soon as possible, and Lin Baihu decided to wait until Guanghaijun was rescued, and then read His Majesty's will to Mao Zhen.

According to the latest news, Gwanghae-kun has been rescued, and most of the North Korean side has accepted the request put forward by our Daming. And Lord Wang is preparing to take over Jeju Island, so they have not yet returned to Phi Island.

However, the first batch of martyrs and disabled sergeants who are ready to be transported back to the mainland will arrive in Tianjin in the middle of this month. ”

After Zhu Youzhen listened, he asked Wang Chengen: "How is the construction of the new towns in Gegu and Tanggu?" ”

Wang Chengen immediately replied: "Two small villages near the river have been built in the two places, which can accommodate about 150 families. However, the land in these two places is very barren, and even if these houses are built, those refugees from Liaodong may not be able to rely on farming for a living. ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "What kind of fields to plant, the people who come back from Liaodong are not children and women, or disabled people, let them farm, isn't it embarrassing for them."

Wasn't the Tianjin shipyard established? Let them see, find some light work to guard the warehouse, and give priority to these disabled soldiers and martyrs in Liaodong.

In addition, orphans younger than 16 years old are sent to orphanages in the capital for care. Over the age of 16, arrange for them to enter various workshops, learn a trade, or arrange for them to enter military schools and new army or something.

In addition, in the two new towns, to set up clothing factories or other munitions factories or something, it is necessary to arrange for all the people who have returned, so that they cannot be left hungry after returning to the mainland. ”

Wang Chengen agreed, and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, these Gegu and Tanggu are to build houses, factories, settle refugees in Liaodong, and build water conservancy. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it and asked him, "Then do you have any suggestions?" ”

Wang Chengen immediately proposed 3 or 4 names, but they were vetoed by Chongzhen one by one. You can see from the daily style of these people that they can't do such a complicated and hard work.

When Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen were thinking, a close attendant came to report to Chongzhen, and Sun Guoyi was brought.

This person, who fought back in the court and knocked the Donglin Party hard, has fallen into the situation of being isolated by both parties at the same time since the meeting of the Imperial Palace.

Although the Donglin Party people were disgusted that he betrayed the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party was also unwilling to trust him because he was the person arranged by the emperor. These few days can be described as the most difficult days for Sun Guoyi, but after sitting on the cold bench for several months, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Sun Guoyi, who was being led by the chamberlain and walking towards him from the garden path, and suddenly turned his head to Wang Chengen and said, "It's him." ”
