[Seven watches overnight, the testimonial will be sent later]

Queen Zhou likes Zhao Shiyao's both appearance and appearance.

Zhu Youzhen is talking about Zhao Yannai, the number one legendary figure who can fight and lead troops among the civil servants of this dynasty.

Zhao Yan was a jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli. The official is still in the military department, and the prince is the Taibao. He has patrolled the border many times and made outstanding achievements. He is sensitive and wise, and he is not chaotic when facing major events. All his life, he worked on the border. He once patrolled Shandong, and in the second year of the Apocalypse, he and Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, jointly suppressed the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in the Zou and Teng areas.

At the same time, Zhao Yan's family also meets the standards of a big family mentioned by Zhu Youzhen.

In later generations, the Zhao family was a big family in Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, and the Ming and Qing dynasties for hundreds of years. Zhao Yan's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all enshrined in Yin Shangshu. The imperial court built the Guan Shuyoumao Fang in Yan'an Mansion to recognize Zhao Yan's achievements, and Yan'an Mansion City also built a palace protection Shangshu Workshop for Zhao Yan.

The Zhao family has many eunuchs, and they have married famous families such as the Yang (Zhao) family, the chief soldier Xiao (Ruxun), and the Ma (Maocai) family. Zhao Zhang is Zhao Yan's younger brother, who once served as the Guanglu Bureau, and when he was in his fifties, he resigned and returned to his hometown, opened a family school, and practiced virtue and discipline.

Zhao Yan's second son, Zhao Dayin, served as the chief soldier of Gangu and the governor of Tongzhi, and his wife was the grandson of Wang Daren, a scholar of Hanlin and the daughter of Wang Bangbi, the governor of the county; The third son, Zhao Tingkuo, served as a guerrilla in Hanqiang Town, and his wife was the niece of Du Yu Shi Bai Xixiu and the daughter of Jing Kui Bai Xicai; The fourth son, Zhao Longyin, is Gushizhi County, Henan, and his wife is the granddaughter of Wang Ping; The fifth son, Zhao Tingxi, is the commander of Tiantai County, and his wife is the daughter of Ma Maocai, who participated in Huguang politics; The sixth son, Zhao Tingying, the tribute supervisor Hou Quan, the first wife was the daughter of Yang Rugui of Zhixian County, and the second wife was the daughter of Da Sima, the granddaughter of Yang Zhao of Taibao, and the daughter of Yang Zhengyi, the secretary of Fengyang Dao; The seventh son, Zhao Tingyang, Bagong, and his wife are the daughter of Xue Tingmo, who has experienced the experience of Henan according to the judge; The eighth son, Zhao Tingjia, is a member of the official household department, and his wife is the granddaughter of Ma Rulong, the magistrate, and the daughter of Ma Maohua, a scholar in Shangzhou. Zhao Zhang's second daughter is the daughter-in-law of the general soldier Xiao Ruhui, and the third daughter is the wife of Liu Eryi of Guiding Zhi County.

Zhao Guangyin, who was selected by Zhu Youzhen, is now serving as a member of the military department, and his wife is the granddaughter of Yangji, who participated in politics in Shaanxi.

Such an intertwined big family may never be considered by the Ming Dynasty royal family in ordinary times. But at this moment, it is very precious and has a great help to Zhu Cihong.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen did not object to Empress Zhou's mention. At present, Zhu Cihong's identity has not been made public, and Zhu Youzhen can't make a fuss about the public reward no matter how happy he is. The fifteen-year imperial career told Zhu Youzhen that in the officialdom, being too popular will only attract everyone's sideways attention and jealousy. Many so-called amazing and talented rookies died in the unwitting slaughter.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhu Youzhen ingeniously planned to make an exception to find a good family for Zhu Cihong.

This is also a kind of reward.

So......

The next question is whether Zhu Cihong will accept it.

Thinking of this, Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen were a little silent.

"With Brother Hong'er's temperament, I can only hope that he will be more serious and return to Beijing sooner." Obviously, Empress Zhou was not sure that Zhu Cihong would come back.

As soon as she thought of this, Queen Zhou quietly set her eyes on Si En's body.

Seeing this, Si En immediately lowered his head on the floor and said nothing.

On the side, Zhu Youzhen thought deeply. He also knew that Zhu Youzhen's temperament couldn't be pulled back, and if he wanted Zhu Cihong to come back obediently, it would be difficult to do it as Zhu Youzhen.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen was slightly uncomfortable, but when he thought that Zhu Cihong was charging for himself, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Wait......" Zhu Youzhen suddenly thought of something, stared at Si En intently, and said in a deep voice: "Si En, don't say it quickly!" Where is Brother Hong now? ”

Puff ......

Knock knock knock......

"Your Majesty forgives your sins...... Your Majesty's forgiveness......" Si En suddenly kowtowed on the ground, and said continuously: "It's not that the old slave doesn't want to say it, it's really the prince who has said it again and again, and you must not let Your Majesty know, old slave...... Old slave ......"

As he spoke, Si En suddenly continued to kowtow, and after a while, the skin on his forehead was broken and there were blood marks.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen suddenly became anxious, looking at this posture, as if he was going to force Si En to commit suicide.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Youzhen suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "Brother Hong'er has entered Kaifeng City?" ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, Si En was stunned for a moment.

Wang Chengen on the side said faintly: "Si'en, the prince is certainly filial piety and does not want His Majesty to worry. But can such a thing be hidden? Besides, you and I are first and foremost His Majesty's slaves......"

Hearing Wang Chengen say this, Si En's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is wise...... The Crown Prince...... Truly...... It is indeed entering Kaifeng City. He also gave a letter to the minister......"

After speaking, Si En hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and held it high.

Zhu Youjian saw this, glanced at ten lines, and slowly read the letter.

"Now the country is in trouble, millions of soldiers and militia are surviving, the governors are useless, and the generals are fleeing...... Zhu Cihong is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, such a critical situation, who can ...... me"

Seeing the end, Zhu Youzhen slowly exhaled, his eyes slightly moistened: "Brother Hong...... Why bother, why bother...... I am so in such a dangerous place that I want my children to use their lives so hard? ”

When Empress Zhou heard this, she suddenly burst into tears: "Holy ...... Holy ...... I heard that there were millions of thieves and besieged Kaifeng. How is it good to be so dangerous? Holy one, you have to save Brother Hong'er. ”

Seeing that the queen was so worried, Zhu Youzhen frowned, and suddenly whispered for a long time: "I'm afraid it won't be possible to force Brother Hong'er to come back." Now I can only let go, and I can no longer let Brother Hong'er be restrained in the place. Now Brother Hong'er has gone to Kaifeng to supervise the army in a mere Shandong town, and because of his age, he will be despised a lot, so that Brother Hong'er can hold the field! It's safe enough to have it! ”

"Therefore, I want to seal Brother Hong as the generalissimo of Henan, Huguang, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Sichuan! Take charge of the battle situation in the Central Plains! ”

"And that Ding Qirui, such a rare defeat through the ages, staying in Kaifeng is to add another block to my Qilin'er? Withdraw, give way to my brother Hong'er! ”

"And isn't Hou Sui on the north bank of the Yellow River? I also have the 200,000 taels of military salaries I brought with me! Since this is the case, let Hou Sui add the title of secretary of the military department, and the governor of Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan on both sides of the Yangtze River. Isn't he Hou Sui kind to Zuo Liangyu? Let him quickly send Zuo Liangyu to rescue Kaifeng, as well as Yang Wenyue...... Tiger Dawei ...... They all have to gather in Kaifeng City, make meritorious contributions, and all the princes who assisted me in the past! ”
