Chapter 664 Elder Gong'e walked on the streets of Fuzhou, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the dim street lamps, or the noisy crowd, his eyes were full of strangeness and entanglement.Even if Quan Xu builds the palace in Fuzhou, it means that Quan Xu will not resist his interference in the management of Liaodong, at least in Fuzhou, around this palace, install a Zhizhou that he can trust, and Quan Xu will definitely have no opinion.However, the question he struggled with was, once the person changed, would the prosperity here still exist?"
Looking at everything in Fuzhou, I know how backward Beijing City is, I want to tear down Beijing City and rebuild it, but unfortunately, all this is unrealistic!"
After drinking two drinks with Quan Xu, Chongzhen was also a little tired, and when he came to Chongzhen's Qingquan Palace, he hid on the soft couch and looked at the stars in the sky.Due to the use of steam engines and coal, the night sky in Liaodong is not as bright as in the Central Plains, and no matter what the weather is, it looks a little hazy.Speaking from the heart, the emperor Chongzhen is actually quite difficult, and the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Empire in the Wanli era.In the Wanli era, not to mention Jiannu, even the younger brother of the Japanese invasion of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court still had the strength to pull hundreds of thousands of troops to find the field for the younger brother.Although because of Quan Xu, Jiannu completely left Liaodong, and they migrated from the Mobei grassland to the northwest, and the situation in Liaodong stabilized somewhat.But the problem is that the unique existence of Quan Xu and Liaodong has also become a problem for Daming's henchmen.Liaodong has grown into a towering tree, and it is a hundred times more powerful than Jiannu.Jiannu is amazing, but there are only more than 100,000 horses, but in Liaodong, how many people Quanxu has, Chongzhen doesn't know, I'm afraid only Quanxu knows best.The problem of Quanxu and Liaodong cannot be regarded as non-existent, once it is not handled carefully, it will be the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty is now the same as before, internal and external troubles are stormy, and life is very tormented.Quan Xu didn't speak, quietly being a listener, the reason why Emperor Chongzhen drank wine, talked a little too much, and it is estimated that there are not many opportunities to chat with people at ordinary times.Nothing to talk to the emperor?
Who deserves it!
Just like now, Shen Mingze's official position is the deputy envoy of Liaodong Strategy, and he is the deputy of Quan Xu, the pacification envoy of Strategy, but the problem is that since Emperor Chongzhen landed in Lushun, he showed his face, and then he disappeared completely.Shen Mingze used his actions to show that he was Quan Xu's person and would not take over the court's appeasement, which meant that even if the court wanted to remove Quan Xu, it would be impossible to remove.Chongzhen looked at Quan Xu, his eyes were full of appreciation: "The problem of the Ming Dynasty is very bad now, forty-three vassal states, in the past three years, only eleven vassal states have paid tribute to the imperial court, to maintain the glory of the Ming Empire, to let the people of the Ming Dynasty live a happier and better life, this requires all of us to work together, so I came to Liaodong, Liaodong has done a great job over the years." ”Quan Xu's heart is full of alarm bells.It's not a good thing to come up with so many high hats, in other words, it's nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.Although the current problems of the Ming Dynasty are very serious, in fact, they are mainly their own problems, and the background of the Ming Dynasty is still very good, especially in the eastern region, the Ming Dynasty is the financial center of East Asia and even the South Asian subcontinent.Like the copper coins and silver judgments minted by the Ming Dynasty, whether they are Japan, Annam, Korea, or Bo Ni, they can be directly circulated.This alone, if done properly, is a proper profit of nearly two or three percent, silver can be doped with tin and lead, and copper can be mixed with lead and tin, but it can be used as the monetary value of pure silver.At this time, the Ming Dynasty can pick up the wool of Southeast Asian countries openly.The key is that Da Ming is a king who has been beaten to the bottom, if he can't solve his own problems, then no one can save Da Ming.At least Emperor Chongzhen is right in one sentence, now it is indeed necessary for the Ming Dynasty to work together, in fact, as long as those gentry privileged class give up the privileges in their hands, all problems will be solved.But the problem is that making the current Ming gentry pay taxes is undoubtedly like raising taxes in the chaebol of a beautiful country, since before President Reagan, an average of one president has been assassinated in office every twenty years, and some people say that it is the curse of the Indians, until Reagan was assassinated but did not die, which broke this curse.In fact, this is the chaebol of the beautiful country is dissatisfied with the president as a spokesman for interests and decides to get rid of the president, and it can be said that the president of the beautiful country is a veritable high-risk profession.If Quan Xu didn't have a strong army, and the guards around him had the most advanced weapons of this era, it would be too difficult to assassinate Quan Xu, otherwise, he would have died a very ugly death.Chongzhen is very thoughtful, but the problem is that the Ming court has lost its executive power, to talk about unity, it is simply a fantasy, according to Quan Xu's reliable situation, Li Zicheng has recently obtained no less than 500,000 catties of steel, as well as a considerable amount of blades and armor and a considerable amount of food.Those gentry found that they could not defeat Quan Xu by using Jiannu, as long as they turned their heads and began to arm and support Li Zicheng, as well as Zhang Xianzhong and others, although the Xingyang Conference in history was not successfully held, the Fengxiang Conference was held in Fengxiang Mansion, which was to find a way out for the rebels.If it is fast, it will be two or three months, and if it is slow, it will be half a year, and Li Zicheng will definitely make a big move.The reason why Quan Xu is willing to help Chongzhen is that in the land he left in Liaodong, whether there is a lack of food in the Central Plains or a rebel army, he can come forward or take action to solve it, but once Quan Xu is pulled to the capital and raised by an idle job, Quan Xu is not willing to do it.Seeing that Quan Xu didn't take over the conversation, Chongzhen let out a long sigh.If the temptation fails, if you force Quan Xu to bow his head, then force Quan Xu to the opposite side, which Chongzhen does not dare to do, and he is unwilling to do.Chongzhen pretended to be asleep, so as to resolve this embarrassment.As Chongzhen made a hearty sound, Empress Zhou asked Gong'e to carry Emperor Chongzhen's soft couch and returned to Qingquan Palace, while Quan Xu got up to say goodbye, but Cao Huachun suddenly appeared behind Quan Xu like a ghost."
Can you walk with some sound?""
What is Master Hou talking about with His Majesty?""
Don't tell me you don't know, this palace, can there be no one without you?"
Cao Huachun smiled gloomily: "Master Hou, I have two more jars of good wine, why don't we drink some together?"
”"This is His Majesty's palace, let's go out and drink if you want to drink!""
No need!"
Cao Huachun smiled: "The queen mother has already ordered, there are too many empty houses in this palace, if the Hou Ye does not dislike it, you can rest there in Lijingyuan!"
”Lijingyuan is an artificial lake in Qingquan Palace, with an area of about twenty or thirty acres, and Lijingyuan is a palace group built near the lake.Adopting the architectural style of the royal garden, Quan Xu didn't care.Coming to the warm pavilion of Lijingyuan, Cao Huachun asked people to serve some dishes, both hot and cold, as well as Quan Xu's favorite sauce-flavored beef.After a while, Quan Xu found some problems, the palace ladies and eunuchs who came to dress in the warm pavilion seemed to be a little older, and many palace ladies were still graceful, but they all had crow's feet at the corners of their eyes."
Presumably Master Hou also found out!""
What did you find?""
Don't tell lies in front of Ming people!"
Cao Huachun smiled bitterly: "The palace has been released one after another over the years, but it is difficult to resettle, although the emperor's inner treasury says that there is some money now, but this money has to be used on the blade!"
”Quan Xu understood a little: "Didn't you lay off more than 1,400 people last time?"
”"Where is this?"
Cao Huachun smiled bitterly: "There are more than 7,800 palace ladies and eunuchs in the Forbidden City, and there are still more than 6,000 people, this time Your Majesty inspected Liaodong, accompanied by more than 640 people and more than 120 eunuchs, these people will be handed over to the Hou Ye, don't look at these palace ladies are older, they can still give birth and raise, and they have learned the rules in the palace for many years, they can not only pinch and calculate, but also take care of the family business, isn't it better than those mothers-in-law who don't know big words?"
”"Are you saying that you want Ben Hou to be a matchmaker and marry these more than 600 Gong Exu to the soldiers of the Liaodong New Army as wives?""
Even if you don't be a wife, you can be a concubine!"
Cao Huachun pounced and knelt in front of Quan Xu: "Please have mercy on Master Hou, pity me and wait for rootless duckweed!"
”Jeon Wook drank and didn't agree in time.If it weren't for Xu marrying the whole family of soldiers as his wife, Quan Xu would not have thought of it so far, if he said that he was married to the whole family of soldiers and soldiers, it would be absolutely impossible to say that Cao Huachun was not careful.After all, there must be fine works among these palace laves, and maybe even more than 640 palace ladies, all of whom are fine works, and each of them has their own tasks.However, since he openly raised this point, it must not be all, and he is not afraid of Quanxu's investigation."
Ben Hou thinks about it!""
That's fine!"
Cao Huachun and Quan Xu drank for a while, and then excused themselves to leave.When Quan Xu slept until midnight, he felt a little uncomfortable: "Water, water!"
”At this moment, a palace lady came over with a tea bowl.As the saying goes, look at the beauty under the lamp, and the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes.Quan Xu took the tea and asked, "How old are you?"
”"Back to the Hou Ye, the slave and maid were born in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli!"
In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, that is, in 1606 AD, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, he was just twenty-nine years old, such an age, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, was already an older woman, but in the eyes of Quan Xu, such a woman can be described as in her prime, and her whole body exudes the charming style of a mature woman.For a moment, Quan Xu subconsciously wanted to tell Cao Huachun that he agreed.Such a palace lady marries the whole family of soldiers, and it is not who suffers and who takes advantage.Cao Huachun is right, such a palace lady understands the rules, is educated, can run a family, and is considerate and gentle, she is simply the best beauty.In Gong E's eyes, Quan Xu's gaze stared directly at her chest, as if he wanted something.At Gong'e's age, what don't you understand?
Without Quan Xu's command, he leaned down.Quan Xu came to his senses: "Don't, you go out first!"
”Gong E was a little disappointed, after all, being able to become Quan Xu's concubine was definitely a beautiful destination for them."
The slave is guilty!".
