When Emperor Chongzhen saw him, he knew it was Liu Weichao who had contacted him, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
All along, it was basically him who took the initiative to contact Liu Weichao, and rarely Liu Weichao took the initiative to contact him.
So, out of surprise, Emperor Chongzhen quickly took out his mobile phone and connected to the video communication under Concubine Tian's curious gaze.
Needless to say, the candle on Emperor Chongzhen's side was originally quite bright, but when compared with the one on the other side of the video, it suddenly seemed dim.
"Ah, are you going to sleep?" Liu Weichao didn't expect that after the video was connected, the background seemed to be a bed, so he asked a little surprised.
According to the past, Emperor Chongzhen must still be handling government affairs at this time. His ability as a night owl will definitely catch up with him in later generations.
Therefore, it was only around eight o'clock in the evening and Emperor Chongzhen had already gone to bed, which had to surprise Liu Weichao.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen quickly explained: "I heard some things today, and I was not in a good mood. I was not in the mood to deal with government affairs, so I came to Concubine Tian early."
When Liu Weichao heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. Is there Concubine Tian Guifei nearby?
So, he quickly said: "Wait a minute, let's have voice communication then. Tell me if there's anything bad going on and see if I can help!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he quickly said: "It doesn't matter, just say it like this. I also want to find you, so I will tell you now!"
It was a major matter, so he was eager to listen to Liu Weichao's ideas, so he naturally ignored the small details.
Of course, another point is that now he can use a mobile phone, with the screen facing him, and Liu Weichao can only see his head. And Liu Weichao is also wearing clothes, so there is no need to change voice communication.
At least in his opinion, video communication is more real, and voice communication is always inferior to video.
He had already said so, and of course Liu Weichao had no objection, so he said to him: "Then you say it, I will listen!"
As he spoke, he leaned back and listened in a more comfortable position.
However, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something, and then asked: "You seem to have a roommate over there, is it convenient?"
If Liu Weichao had not first said something that was inconvenient to the parties concerned, Emperor Chongzhen might not have thought of it. However, Liu Weichao had already said it, and Emperor Chongzhen would have thought of it. Based on Liu Weichao's importance, everything he said was done with Liu Weichao in mind.
Already.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "He went on a date with his girlfriend to watch a movie. He won't be back until very late!"
He didn't understand what this meant. Emperor Chongzhen just knew that the person who shared the apartment with Liu Weichao was not there, so he said, "Wang Cheng'en reported something to me today. I'll tell you about it!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Concubine Tian and said: "You..."
Originally, he wanted Concubine Tian to go out.
However, when he opened his mouth, he felt that it was a bit bad to let Concubine Tian go out. After all, Concubine Tian was his most trusted concubine, and basically nothing was hidden from her.
Concubine Tian obviously realized it, so she took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go out for a walk first and enjoy the night view!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen, who was hesitating, stopped hesitating and just said to her: "No, it's just what I want to say. It's important, so just pretend you didn't hear it!"
After finishing speaking, he turned back and looked at Liu Weichao on the phone, telling him the list of generals who bribed Chen Xinjia and the current situation of the Beijing camp.
At the end, Emperor Chongzhen said with anger: "How can such imperial troops win the war? I really know that the disaster of national subjugation is really close before my eyes!"
Concubine Tian may have heard about many things outside the palace, but she definitely doesn't know the details.
She had never heard of it before.
Therefore, when she heard that the situation in the imperial court was so critical, and that there was even danger of national subjugation, she was immediately frightened and turned pale. The Ming Dynasty had actually reached such a state?
When Liu Weichao heard this, he was not surprised or surprised. He just smiled and said: "That must be the case. Otherwise, how could such a big country die at the drop of a hat?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately thought of something, and immediately added: "Of course, the Northern Song Dynasty is an exception, a weird one, he played his own game. We won't talk about it!"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was a little speechless upon hearing this.
But soon, he came back to his senses. He didn't worry about the troubles in the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, his mind was filled with his own affairs.
So, I heard him immediately say to Liu Weichao: "Today I also went to see Yongwei Camp. Zhou Yuji is discussing the issue of troop recruitment for army expansion. It is also a very difficult problem!"
"Oh?" Liu Weichao was very interested when he heard this. He didn't say much and just listened to what Emperor Chongzhen said.
"The state of affairs is such that my only hope is the Yongwei camp." Emperor Chongzhen said immediately, "As long as there are enough Yongwei camps and they are strong enough, I can take action to deal with those military leaders. However, expanding the army is not easy.
, the training of new recruits takes at least a year and a half before they can become elites. But, how can I have time to wait for a year and a half!"
At this point, before Liu Weichao could speak, he continued: "As for Zhou Yuji, I asked him to go to various health clinics to pick and choose, and he always got the same result. But what will Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong do after they come back? What will they do?
There is definitely no way to select the elites of each guard station. We can only select new recruits from good families, which will take a long time to train. I am worried when I think about this!"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he was about to speak, but Emperor Chongzhen started talking again, obviously a little anxious and out of control: "In the past, I was worried about having no money, but now, I have some money, but I am worried about having no money."
People don’t have time, alas..."
Having said this, he sighed heavily.
If he had money before the Battle of Songjin, the situation would be completely different.
But it happened that after the Battle of Songjin, the entire army that the imperial court could fight had been wiped out.
ah……
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was so difficult to do things, and he was really worried to death!
Concubine Tian Guifei on the side saw him and was very saddened to see him like this. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to comfort him.
Although she is also good at both civil and military skills, she can ride horses and shoot arrows, but those are just fancy skills, not real skills that can kill enemies in battle.
At this time, she also felt powerless and regretted that she could not help the emperor.
What they didn't expect was that after Liu Weichao heard this, he laughed and said, "This matter is not difficult to solve!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very surprised: Is it not difficult to solve? How to solve it?
