On September 15, the seventh year of the Tianqi period, Zhu Yinglong sent negotiators, mainly Liu Hongxun, Huang Jin and Zhou Wenyuan as the assistant, to Liaodong to negotiate with Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty. At the same time, he issued a secret decree to Yuan Chonghuan and Xiong Tingbi on the Ningyuan front, so that they should be prepared to fight and not take it lightly.

Wu Sangui rescued his father and brothers, and the family reunited, so he naturally cried with joy. Wu Sangui could not recognize Xiong Tingbi, but Wu Xiang was not blind. He was a martial arts master in the second year of Tianqi. Although he was arrested by the court for shortly after he served in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi was arrested by the court, he still had a deep impression of Xiong Tingbi. When he saw Xiong Tingbi, who was the first face of the pseudonym Xiongba, he had already begun to doubt it. However, Xiong Tingbi was cut into pieces by the court and passed on to the nine sides. This is a well-known thing. Even if Xiong Tingbi's true identity was confirmed, he would not dare to say it. Besides, he already knew that Xiong Ba had taken away his most beloved Erwa as his disciple.

The Ningyuan city wall was damaged by seven or eight out of ten, and the imperial court allocated silver. Before the cold weather was cold, Yuan Chonghuan immediately organized the young and strong people in the city and the guards to repair the city. After the war, Ningyuan city was full of passion, with bricks everywhere and workers who repaired the city walls. After nearly a month of bloody battle, they finally won the victory. Both the officers and soldiers and the people were enthusiastic, especially the imperial court transported them food, salt and various daily necessities in time, and the people gathered together, and the project of repairing the city walls was naturally quick and ready.

Xiong Tingbi highly valued Wu Sangui and expanded his vanguard battalion to five thousand at once. Yuan Chonghuan also drew some soldiers who were good at cavalry and shooting from Ningyuan to him. Man Gui also generously sent three thousand war horses captured by Shanhaiguan. Now Wu Sangui, who was young, vaguely became a new new star in the army in Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi submitted a memorial to Zhu Yinglong and recommended Wu Sangui as the chief general of this iron cavalry and was appointed as the general of the general.

"How could he do this Xiong Tingbi!" Zhu Yinglong was very dissatisfied with Xiong Tingbi's strong praise of Wu Sangui. It should be noted that Wu Sangui is one year younger than him. It is not impossible to be able to be at such a high position at a young age. Yes, Wu Sangui has military talent, but suddenly he is too high will inevitably breed his pride and be arrogant. As the saying goes, the higher the praise, the more painful it falls. It seems that not everyone is a perfect person!

"Your Madam Xiong Hu asks for a visit!" Xu Yingyuan looked unhappy and came forward timidly and reported that although he could not stand the reorganization of the inner palace, he had been annoyed by the people below these days. Some entrusted and some gave gifts, and no one was in the worldly manner. He hid in this Yangxin Temple every day to serve Zhu Yinglong. Wang Chengen dealt with all the troubles. He was so angry that Wang Chengen scolded him for being ruthless and unrighteous.

"Let her come in. In the future, Li Niang will come to see me. As long as I am not dealing with things or meeting ministers, you can let her come in at any time, and there is no need to ask for an order." Zhu Yinglong closed his eyes and thought to himself. He was thinking about how to deal with Wu Sangui's affairs, and it also involved such complicated relationships in all aspects. While the relationship is not deep, it is better to cut the mess quickly.

"Minister Xiong Hu kowtows to the emperor!" Xiong Hu walked to the imperial case and actually kowtowed to Zhu Yinglong and said to him.

"Oh, Li Niang, what are you doing!" Zhu Yinglong hurriedly stood up from the dragon chaise, walked down, and helped Xiong Hu and said, "Come on, come on, come on, get up quickly!"

"Your Majesty, the courtesy must not be abolished." Xiong Hu leaned over and said.

"Okay, what's wrong with you today?" Zhu Yinglong asked strangely, "What did I do wrong to make you angry?"

"The emperor has nothing to do wrong, but the common women dare not." Xiong Hubei said with a lip lightly biting his lower lip.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Yinglong was even more surprised.

"The emperor asked the private girl to prepare for the university, but the private girl couldn't handle it anymore." Xiong Hu said with red eyes.

"What can't you do?" Zhu Yinglong thought to himself. So that's what happened. Seeing Xiong Hu kneeling on the ground and unable to get up, he simply sat on the ground. Xu Yingyuan quickly handed over two soft pads, one for himself and the other for Xiong Hu, and then said, "You tell me, who gave my baby Li Niang to be angry!"

"The emperor planned to set up a university and summon all schools of thought. No matter whether they are from a certain field, those who have made unique achievements in a certain field or are skilled in a good manner can go to the university to teach. In this way, the teachers who originally agreed to go to the university to teach well and said that they were reading the books of saints and doing saints until they were saints. How could they work with peddlers and barons? So, the errands of the people can't do this job." Xiong Hu said aggrievedly.

"That's all?" Zhu Yinglong laughed. In fact, the idea of ​​his preparation for establishing a university was that the Imperial College was originally an institution for cultivating talents for the country, while the Hanlin Academy was an institution for reserve talents for the country. He wanted to withdraw the Imperial College to set up a university, or rename the Imperial College to a body similar to the later generations of academic, degree and professional titles, and separate the part of cultivating talents and establish a university. Since one is now a diehard who reads the books of sages, and the other is a genius school that constantly creates wealth for the country. The two schools are simply incompatible and cannot urinate in a pot, so they should be separated. In this way, the so-called literati and doctors will have smaller opinions and easier acceptance, and said, "Li Niang, your beautiful head is flexible and flexible in military terms, and I can't compare to it, but why are you no longer smart in this regard?"

"What do you think of?" Xiong Hu said angrily.

"Since these so-called well-educated scholars are unwilling to be with peddlers and barricades, it's easy to do, just separate them!" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile. He thought he was too impatient to consider, and reform also requires strategies, and it is not possible to force it.

"Yes, why didn't I expect it!" Xiong Hu suddenly felt enlightened and said happily.

"Okay, okay, I have thought of a solution for you. Why do you thank me? Why don't you thank me? Tonight..." Zhu Yinglong hasn't touched a woman in the past month. First, it was during the new mourning of the late emperor. He could not be criticized. He was still addicted to women during the mourning period. Second, he was too tired and had no energy at all. Now that he is firm in his position, he should relax his relaxed nerves. He is a normal man. He was about to hug Xiong Hu and kiss Fang Ze, but found that Xiong Hu had stood up and jumped a few steps away. He smiled at him, "Emperor, the civilian woman has the imperial destiny and cannot be delayed. The civilian woman has surrendered!"

Zhu Yinglong sat on the cushion and watched Xiong Hu's graceful figure disappear in front of the gate of Yangxin Palace.

I read Xiong Tingbi's memorial carefully again and Zhu Yinglong wrote with his pen that Wu Sangui is a talent, but he is young and energetic, and he needs to be beaten and polished before he can find great use. You can do it yourself!
