Chapter 16

A family must be neat and tidy

Luo Yangxing nodded, but he just couldn't figure out when the bandit army would pull its hips like this, and its action plan could be fully known to others.

Mr. Yang Ge is even more useless. Even His Majesty knows that the messenger he sent will be kidnapped.

But thinking of this, Luo Yangxing became even more confused. Why did His Majesty know what Mr. Yang was doing, but he didn't remind Mr. Yang.

Luo Yangxing, who didn't know that his hometown had been stolen, took the signed reply letter and started to rush to the next location, Hanzhong, where Zuo Liangyu had retreated.



In the capital, Chongzhen did not correct the memorials as usual. Instead, he called everyone in the harem to gather in the imperial garden. He planned to have a family reunion dinner.

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly summon everyone here today?"

"Queen, the family is reunited today. Come and call your husband."

"Hate."

Empress Zhou patted Chongzhen coquettishly and looked at the sunny emperor in front of her. Over the years, it was during this period that Chongzhen made her feel the happiest.

"Father, father, have you missed me?"

Empress Zhou was surrounded by two girls, one large and one young. The little girl rushed over and hugged Chongzhen's thigh. She had a delicate little face under her hairpin, and the word "peace" was embroidered on the small purse on her waist.

"Of course, Father, I miss you. Come, Father, give me a hug. How are you doing with your homework recently, Cixi?"

"Father, my son has read a lot of scriptures recently, and I would like to ask my father to evaluate me."

"I will order someone to give you test papers. The six arts of a gentleman are not limited to poetry and writing. You must remember that the emperor cannot guard the country by relying on poetry and writing."

"My son has learned a lesson."

Zhu Cixi replied seriously that he still admired his father very much. There has probably never been a king as diligent as his father in the world.

"Everyone is here. Come and stand in a row. Gao Banban, please take a picture for us."

Chongzhen picked up the little girl with pity. This was his third daughter, Princess Zhaoren, and handed the digital Polaroid into the hands of Gao Yushun, who had already learned to take pictures.

"Husband, what is this?"

"Yes, husband, why are the whole family lining up, and what is the object in Gao Banban's hand?"

"Oh, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Yuan, you will know later."

Chongzhen didn't say anything. Looking around, everyone stood up as he asked, waved to Gao Yushun, and then extended his hands toward the camera as a hug.

"Kacha!"

In 1641 AD, the first photograph in human history, the Chongzhen family portrait, appeared.

"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper, I have already taken photos of our family. You cannot meet my family, so I will introduce them to you in this way."

"Chen Ye: It's great. In this era, your family will finally not be the same as history."

"Chongzhen: I still want to thank the shop owner. If it weren't for you, I would really have gone through all that. Between life and death, I would have slashed at my wife and daughter with a knife."

Chen Ye extracted the Polaroid from the space, and through digital storage, looked at the restrained family in the imperial garden. There was no gloominess in the historical pictures, only the full happiness of the family.

At the front are Chongzhen's four sons and two daughters, followed by Chongzhen's Queen Zhou, Concubine Wada and Concubine Yuan next to Queen Zhou.

"It's great. The whole family will be neat and tidy."

While Chongzhen's family coexisted warmly, Sun Chuanting almost died of anger at the Chinese army marching camp in the Fifth Army Camp.

"Is this how you guard the capital?"

When the Chinese army was encamping, General Li Guozhen of the fifth army camp was kicked and beaten by the imperial eunuch. He rushed over in disheveled clothes and bowed his head to Sun Chuanting.

"Master Sun, what brought you here? You didn't say anything in advance so that I could go and welcome you."

While Li Guozhen responded, he scolded his own bodyguards. They were a bunch of trash and didn't even know that the new governor of Beijing camp was here.

"I came here today and saw a lot of things. It was really eye-opening, wasn't it?

The Chinese army has 2,000 garrison troops and 10,000 troops stationed in the fields to defend the capital. Now tell me, during spring plowing time, where are the military households stationed outside?

According to the regulations, there should be one hundred households at the gate of the outer city, but tell me, why are there only two small flags?"

"Hey, Mr. Sun, aren't those people taking a break? No one can bear the pain of practicing every day? And there are definitely more than a hundred people guarding the city. I can guarantee this."

Li Guojie saw Sun Chuanting getting angry and quickly explained.

"Have a rest? Why did I hear that your yard is now being repaired by a thousand households? I also heard that there is a construction team in Shuntian Prefecture, who is from the Fifth Army Camp."

"Ah? Sir, that's all a false accusation! A false accusation! It's definitely the people from the Zuo Army who framed the official. They have the most experience in helping people repair their houses."

Li Guozhen jumped to his feet instantly. He didn't expect that Sun Chuanting would investigate so carefully, but he understood it after thinking about it.

This kind of thing is no longer a secret, but the norm, so when Sun Chuanting suddenly asked, Li Guojie couldn't even explain it, because in their subconscious, isn't it normal to use the army to occupy the army?

"Your Majesty has ordered me to rectify the capital camp. Naturally, I will take it seriously. If I have framed you, I will naturally tell the officer who oversees the army.

I now want you to explain clearly why the officers and soldiers who are supposed to be stationed and on guard are not on duty."

"Sir, I'm going to investigate right away. I think it's because of recent neglect of management that the people below have been sent away. I'm going to supervise you right now."

"Eunuch Li, send someone to get the roster. I want to name the people personally."

"Sir, isn't this good? There are a lot of people on this roster. Wouldn't it be overkill for your Excellency to count the names personally? I will go with Sun Jianjun to count the people right away."

Li Guozhen winked at the supervisors, who immediately ran towards the army.

But as soon as he reached the halfway point, he was stopped by Wang Chengen's godson.

"No need, I will arrange for someone to click on it, and the person who is not here will make a note of it. If I order it again next time and it still doesn't work, I will make it look better for you."

Seeing Sun Chuanting leading people into the database, Li Guozhen's expression changed. He called people over and gave a few instructions. The guards then left directly and headed for other military camps.



Dongchang.

There were buzzing generators, antennas exposed on the roof, several computer screens in the room, and several eunuchs wearing headphones, pressing the fast forward button and clicking on the bars with numbers one by one to listen.

On the table in the hall, compressed biscuits, self-heating food, and a pile of mineral water are neatly placed.

Wang Chengen, who has been missing recently, is here. He is also wearing headphones and listening.

Occasionally I hear a sentence that is shocking.

"Father-in-law, he has been taken to prison."

"Well, I got it, Shuanzi, listen to it for me, and write it down if there are different contents."

"yes."

The little eunuch didn't say anything more. He took Wang Chengen's earphones and started to listen as well.

Before leaving the room, Wang Chengen glanced at the young eunuchs inside and nodded with satisfaction.

If you want to thoroughly investigate the palace and clean up the factory guards, Dongchang must take action first, so that no one will cause trouble.

So after Chongzhen monitored Wang Chengen for two days, he asked him to lead here. Wang Dehua was just the beginning, and more eunuchs were facing diluted arrangements.
