Chapter 224 Delusion to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight

() Queen Zhou was slightly surprised when she heard that the emperor was coming. She quickly put down her work and stood up to prepare to greet him.

Just as he was about to take a step, he saw Emperor Chongzhen walking in, so he prepared to salute.

Emperor Chongzhen saw Empress Zhou standing at a small table, preparing to salute, and hurriedly signaled with his hands: "The empress does not need to be polite."

When she finished speaking, she quickly walked up to Queen Zhou. The two looked at each other and saw the affection in each other's eyes.

"Queen, why don't you rest? Your health is very important."

"Your Majesty is busy until late at night every day, so you need to take more care of your dragon body." Queen Zhou said as she turned sideways and asked Emperor Chongzhen to sit down.

As soon as she gave in, Emperor Chongzhen saw what Queen Zhou had put on the table just now. He picked it up and looked at it, and praised: "The Queen's needlework is getting better and better. Even if you don't look closely, you can see there are patches."

above."

"Your Majesty, you have to rest earlier than usual today, and you are still in the mood to praise my concubine's handiwork. Is Uncle Zhongxing back?" Empress Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen and guessed softly.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he put down his inner garment, stretched out his hand to hold Queen Zhou's catkins, looked at her face, smiled and praised, "The Queen is indeed smart."

"I don't dare to interfere with the affairs of the court, but every time your majesty solves a difficult problem in the court, you always praise Uncle Xing. Looking at your majesty's current mood, I guessed that Uncle Zhongxing is back."

"Wrong, I won't be Uncle Zhongxing anymore." Emperor Chongzhen shook his head after hearing this.

"Ah, who is more capable than Zhongxing Bo?" Queen Zhou was a little surprised.

For more than a month, since Zhongxing Bo woke up, Emperor Chongzhen often returned to the palace. In front of her, he could not help but feel that God had shown mercy and Taizu had appeared and sent Zhongxing Bo to help him.

Now Emperor Chongzhen actually said that it will not be Zhongxing Bo who will help him in the future, which is really a bit surprising.

"Haha, the queen misunderstood. I have decided to make Master Zhong the Marquis of Zhongxing in the next few days. This is what I promised before." Emperor Chongzhen explained.

When Queen Zhou heard this, it turned out that she had misunderstood. She couldn't help but blush slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, I became stupid when I became pregnant."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and comforted: "It's impossible. How could my queen become stupid? I didn't explain it clearly. By the way, do you still feel sick these days?"

"It's much better now. According to my concubine's experience when she was pregnant with the emperor, she's almost fine. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it," Queen Zhou replied.

"Well, okay, where is my prince?"

"Not long after I fell asleep, my concubine asked the palace maid to carry her over?" Empress Zhou was a little surprised. Emperor Chongzhen had been busy with state affairs and rarely asked about the emperor.

"There's no need to fall asleep. I'm here today to tell you some good news." Emperor Chongzhen looked into Empress Zhou's eyes.

Empress Zhou did not speak, but looked back at Emperor Chongzhen with her charming eyes, with a look of expectation on her face.

There were too few good news coming out of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth. No matter what the news was, Empress Zhou liked to listen to her husband and share the joy with him.

"I am determined to enthrone the crown prince in the near future."

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Empress Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately realized that the prince had given birth to a child, and who else could be crowned the prince besides his own son.

Although my son is the eldest son and would generally be a prince, there is still a big difference between being granted a title and not being granted one.

Joy welled up from Queen Zhou's heart, covering her face, and there was surprise in her eyes: "Your Majesty, is this true?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "You are not joking, of course it is true."

It was such a surprise that my son was canonized as a prince when he was less than two years old.

Empress Zhou gently broke away from Emperor Chongzhen's hand, and then wanted to go down, but was immediately stopped by Emperor Chongzhen, who reminded her: "Be careful."

Empress Zhou stopped forcing blessings, and said in a slightly louder and excited voice: "I thank your Majesty on behalf of the emperor."

"No need to be polite, he is not only your prince, but also mine." Emperor Chongzhen said as he helped Queen Zhou sit down again.

He estimated the time and said to the still excited Queen Zhou: "It's getting late. Queen, go to bed early. I'll go to Concubine Tian."

If Empress Zhou had heard this before, she might have been a little jealous, but at this time she was not jealous at all, and was still filled with surprise. She responded to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "I know this, and your Majesty should rest early."

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the next day, Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, and Wen Tiren were all very busy.

Emperor Chongzhen was busy with general affairs, Wen Tiren was busy communicating with civil servants, and Sun Chengzong went to communicate with military generals. For a while, they were busy together.

Only Zhong Jinwei rested in his own house, sleeping until almost noon before getting up. Then he chatted with the old people in the house, and even gave a lesson on Arabic numerals and multiplication tables on behalf of Uncle Yu.

This class was a bit long because people in the Ming Dynasty were not used to the left-to-right writing method demonstrated by Zhong Jinwei.

After Zhong Jinwei finally taught a few people with strong receptive abilities to basically learn these things, he threw down the chalk and ran away. Being a teacher is really tiring.

He returned to his study and saw the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Archi had given him. He touched the damaged area on it and thought of Archi. So he wrote a love letter to Archi and reported on his recent situation.

, expressed my longing for it. Then I watched the Three Kingdoms, and the day passed quickly.

Not only Zhong Jinwei was leisurely, but the leaders of Jianlu were also leisurely, and they were still celebrating their victory in Yongping.

Why should we celebrate and what achievements should we celebrate? This matter has to start from the past two days.

That night, after Huang Taiji sent Dai Shan away, he kept thinking about the reason why the Ming army deployed with great fanfare and finally suddenly retreated to the capital.

Unfortunately, Huang Taiji spent a lot of brain cells and still couldn't figure it out. So the next day, Huang Taiji sent a large number of detective horses to search the surrounding situation to see if the Ming army was doing something somewhere.

As a result, Tan Ma did not find out where the Ming army was causing trouble, but he brought back an envoy from the Ming army. To be precise, he was an envoy from Tongzhi of Luanzhou in the Ming Dynasty, saying that he wanted to defect to the Kingdom of Jin.

This news was such a surprise to Huang Taiji, as such a situation had never happened before. For a moment, Huang Taiji thought that he really had the spirit of a bastard and could make the officials of the Ming Dynasty surrender after hearing the news.

After all, Huang Taiji was Huang Taiji. He quickly connected the Ming army's unusual behavior with the surrender of Luanzhou and sensed that something important had happened.

He sent troops to accept Luanzhou, and at the same time asked Luanzhou's fellow magistrates to come to Yongping for an audience.

The victory of a Ming army city in vain allowed the Jianlu soldiers, especially those who had attacked Changli and Funing, to regain their self-confidence, even more so.

They selectively forgot about those defeats and praised each other for the great reputation of Dajin, which could make the cities of Ming Dynasty fall in the face of the wind.

After Huang Taiji received the news, he did not explain that there was an inside story, but instead secretly added fuel to the flames.

The reason why he did this was that a series of previous defeats had led to low morale in the army and a decline in his own prestige. Now that an opportunity appeared out of thin air to restore morale and prestige, Huang Taiji would certainly not miss it.

Zhang Wenxiu, a colleague of Luanzhou, arrived in Yongping soon and immediately went to see Huang Taiji.

When Huang Taiji wanted to know the truth of the matter, Zhang Wenxiu flattered him at first, and even said that when the sun came out of the East, only the great Jin Dynasty was undefeated, the great Jin Dynasty sweated profusely, and cultivated martial virtues and unified the country for thousands of years.

But Huang Taiji was not a certain kind of person, and he was not dazzled by victory, and could be put off by a few words of flattery. With his kindness and power, Zhang Wenxiu finally told the truth.

After Huang Taiji figured out the truth of the matter, he laughed three times and immediately called all the Jianlu leaders to a meeting, where he announced the unexpected news.

No one expected that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be so stupid. When the invincible Jin army was stationed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he would start a large-scale anti-corruption campaign.

People's hearts are surging, this is a sign that the Kingdom of Jin will replace the Kingdom of Ming!

Many Jianlu leaders immediately asked Huang Taiji to order troops to be sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, following the example of the ancestors of the Jin Dynasty who attacked Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and took advantage of its civil strife to capture it in one fell swoop.

However, the speeches of these people were suppressed by Huang Taiji. He said: "I think that if Dajin attacks the capital of the Ming Dynasty now, it will give the Hunjun of the Ming Dynasty a chance to compromise, so now is not the best time. On the contrary, Dajin

Jin should shrink its activities so that the Hunjun of the Ming Dynasty feels that Da Jin will not threaten him or even feel the existence of Da Jin, so he can confidently fight against corruption boldly. When all the generals of the Ming army come to surrender, then it will be us

It’s time for Dajin to easily capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty!”

Huang Taiji spoke passionately and impassionedly, and other leaders thought it was reasonable. Therefore, after Jianlu accepted Luanzhou, he instead reduced his troops and took back his exploration horses. He drank and had fun every day, waiting for the Ming generals to surrender.

Of course, Huang Taiji did not just wait, he sent many Han generals to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, intending to contact the Ming generals.
