() When Zhong Jinwei heard this, his face was a bit shocked, and he replied sheepishly: "Your Majesty, I only care about their deeds, not where they are from."
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei. Zhong Jinwei was even more ashamed. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he really didn't remember it: "Your Majesty, even if Yan Yingyuan, I only confirmed that he should be the historical figure after seeing him in person and his abilities.
That hero. If he really knew how to time travel, he would definitely know all the historical figures of the late Ming Dynasty if he killed me."
Emperor Chongzhen knew that he was trying to force others into a difficult situation. How could he find two other loyal people in the vast sea of people?
However, Emperor Chongzhen thought in a blink of an eye, Jiang Yin could not escape. The people here treated the Ming Dynasty in the end like this, especially the deeds of Jiang Yin and his father who pretended to surrender, used their own bodies to lead, and used gunpowder to kill the Qing army. How could I
Treat them badly. Emperor Chongzhen secretly made up his mind to reward Jiang Yin in the future, even if the incident in history would never happen again.
Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhong Jinwei again: "Are there any other loyal people like Yan Yingyuan?"
Zhong Jinwei thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The eighty-one day of Jiang Yin is the most famous one. I dare not confirm the others because the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was revised by the Jianlu Tatars in three dynasties, which lasted for a hundred years.
It has been many years. Therefore, there are not many credible things in it. As for other characters, I am not sure whether they are loyal or jian."
It took more than a hundred years to revise the history of this dynasty, but it was really difficult for those Tatars. Emperor Chongzhen sneered secretly in his heart.
"Which wise men always know?" Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty, the history of the Ming Dynasty is confusing right and wrong. I can't say who is the king or who is loyal. I know that there are some who surrendered to the rebels in the end. But these people are also capable, but their bones are a little soft. If I tell your Majesty, I am afraid that there will be a gap in your Majesty's heart.
If they refuse to use them again, their talents will be wasted. So I think it’s better not to say anything. Anyway, in this life, as long as I am here, I will help your majesty to destroy the Jianlu. Yes, I will also make the Ming Dynasty a ruthless country.
empire."
"Well said! I still have some sense. Thinking about Cao Cao burning the letters to Yuan after his victory in the Battle of Guandu, I am not as good as Cao Aman!" Emperor Chongzhen no longer made it difficult for Zhong Jinwei and said to him: "I
I want to meet Jiang Yin Dianshi, your brother-in-law, where is he now?"
"Your Majesty, he is at the Meridian Gate at this time." Zhong Jinwei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen no longer dwelled on historical matters, and quickly answered Emperor Chongzhen's words.
"Okay." After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned around and shouted outside the palace: "Here comes someone."
The Jin Yiwei who was on duty flashed in.
"Come to see Yan Yingyuan from the Meridian Gate." Emperor Chongzhen ordered, and then turned around and returned to the throne.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Yan Yingyuan signed up to enter the Wenhua Hall. He knelt down and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "People from Tongzhou, Yan Yingyuan, kowtow to the emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Emperor Chongzhen kept staring at Yan Yingyuan, and after he finished his salute, he asked him to approach him.
I saw that Yan Yingyuan had a plump torso, erect eyebrows, thin and long eyes, and the cloth covering the wound on his right arm was still stained with blood, which added to the testimony of his bravery. He was indeed a hero! Emperor Chongzhen secretly praised him in his heart.
He wanted to reward Yan Yingyuan heavily, but he couldn't say it, because in the future you would lead Jiang Yin's people of the Ming Dynasty to bravely resist the Qing Dynasty.
After thinking about it for a while, he came up with it, so Emperor Chongzhen said to Yan Yingyuan: "Are you from Tongzhou Martial Arts Examination?"
"The grassroots won the Tongzhou Martial Arts Examination last year." Yan Yingyuan did not expect to see the Ming Emperor, and there was a hint of excitement in his reply.
"Okay, you have done a good job in protecting Zhongxing Bo this time and killed more than ten horse thieves. I will give you the title of royal guard for thousands of households. Are you willing?" Emperor Chongzhen said happily.
As soon as he made a move, he would be able to guard thousands of households. This reward would probably make many people jealous. Zhong Jinwei understood that the reason for the reward from Emperor Chongzhen was not the merit of the guard, but the eighty-one days of Jiang Yin.
Not hearing Yan Yingyuan's voice of gratitude, Zhong Jinwei thought that Yan Yingyuan came to the capital once and got the post of a thousand households in imperial robes. He was so excited that he didn't know how to answer.
So, he glanced at Yan Yingyuan. Unexpectedly, Yan Yingyuan didn't look at Zhong Jinwei at all. He just said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, ordinary people don't want to be a guard of thousands of households."
"Oh, you don't want to serve the imperial court?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused. Logically speaking, he shouldn't.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the common people don't want to serve the imperial court. They are just protecting Zhongxing Bo. In fact, they are just protecting their own brother-in-law. The common people think that this way they can get the position of guarding thousands of households in royal robes. Others don't accept it, and the common people don't want to either."
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but look at Yan Yingyuan in a different light. At first, he only had a good impression of Yan Yingyuan because of what was going to happen in the future. After all, he had not seen it with his own eyes, so the impression was not very deep. He had seen many people who seek official positions and wealth, and now he saw that Yan Yingyuan could not be interested in fame and wealth.
I can't help but feel a little moved. It really has the integrity in history that Master Zhong said.
So Emperor Chongzhen asked: "What do you want?"
Yan Yingyuan looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, the common people are willing to serve in King Qin's army and swear to kill the Tatars and restore peace to the people."
Zhong Jinwei was listening to their conversation, and he secretly admired his brother-in-law. It was hard to say whether he would refuse if it were him.
Now listening to Yan Yingyuan's intention, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, when I was at his home, I asked him about his future plans. He said to me at that time: A man will gain fame immediately, destroy the Jianlu, suppress the Mongolian Tatars, and get rid of the Mongolian Tatars.
The bandits of Haihe gave peace to the people of Ming Dynasty!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Okay, you are worthy of Jiang Yin Dian Shi." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had missed the secret, so he quickly changed his words: "He is worthy of being the brother-in-law of Uncle Zhongxing, haha." Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking.
, I felt that I was also witty, so I laughed out loud, feeling very happy.
Zhong Jinwei looked at the laughing Emperor Chongzhen and also laughed. It was not a good idea for the emperor to use the title of his future brother-in-law to cover up his slip of the tongue.
Yan Yingyuan was laughed at inexplicably, but he didn't dare to ask.
Emperor Chongzhen laughed for a while before he stopped, and then said to Yan Yingyuan: "Okay, I meet your request. Do you want to go to that Qinwang army, is it the Guan Ning army?" Emperor Chongzhen thought that Yan Yingyuan should be able to pick a strong army.
.
Yan Yingyuan didn't expect it but said: "Previously, Uncle Zhongxing recommended grassroots people to serve in Lu Zhifu's army."
Emperor Chongzhen was astonished and looked at Zhong Jinwei, asking him, "How can you recommend your brother-in-law to serve in the motley army? Can he stand out?"
When Zhong Jinwei saw Emperor Chongzhen looking over, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what kind of medicine Zhong Jinwei sold in his gourd, and it was hard to ask him in front of Yan Yingyuan, but Zhong Jinwei would not treat his brother-in-law badly no matter what. Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen asked Yan Yingyuan: "Then what position do you want to be?
, I’ll go talk to Lu Xiangsheng.”
"Your Majesty, the common people want to compete with Magistrate Lu, and Magistrate Lu will weigh the abilities of the common people. If they are qualified for any position, they can take any position." Yan Yingyuan still told Zhong Jinwei that he was not Lu Xiangsheng's opponent, and was a little unconvinced.
"Okay, I will give you a martial arts background and serve in Lu Xiangsheng's army. It depends on your ability which position you can take." After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned to Zhong Jinwei and said: "Master Zhong, I am satisfied with my arrangement.
?”
"Satisfied, satisfied, Your Majesty is wise. It's just that I promised Archie to let my brother-in-law go back to celebrate the New Year. Now he is injured. He just went home to recuperate. When he recovers, he will return to the army, okay?" Zhong Jinwei then smoothly patted Emperor Chongzhen's flattery,
Then he brought up what he had agreed to do before to let Yan Yingyuan go home for the New Year.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this is possible, and agreed to Zhong Jinwei's request. Then he called the Jin Yiwei on duty and asked him to take Yan Yingyuan to Lu Xiangsheng's army outside the capital city. He was also looking forward to whether Yan Yingyuan would be appreciated by Lu Xiangsheng.
Zhong Jinwei watched Yan Yingyuan leave the palace gate, and suddenly remembered that Gu Baichuan was also waiting at the Meridian Gate. So, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the main reason why I was able to escape this time was because of the help of the Dongchang officer.
Chief Gu Baichuan, he is very smart, I hope that among the six guards sent by Dongchang, there will be him and Wang Peng, the police officer."
Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said: "No problem, these two guards have served well. I have asked my senior companion to reward them generously."
"Your Majesty, Gu Baichuan is currently staying at Wumen." Zhong Jinwei reminded Emperor Chongzhen.
