Liu Zhong chased out, but Liu Jun had already turned over and galloped away. After leaving the inn, Liu Jun went directly to Hongxiufang.

She went directly to the exclusive third floor. After a while, Chen Man was already like a butterfly. Now her heart is really all about Liu Jun. Liu Jun is five years younger than her. At first, she thought she was acting at most, but after a few times, she found that she really liked him.

Since she fell in love with Liu Jun, she felt that she had a second spring, and she looked even more beautiful. In fact, she is only in her twenties now. Although she has experienced a lot, she feels like she is back in her teens with Liu Jun.

"I have seen the master." Chen Man held his skirt and bowed his salute.

"What are you calling me? Isn't this going to call me the youngest?" Liu Jun smiled, and directly reached out and pulled her over, hugged her in his arms, let her sit on his thigh, lowered her head and kissed her in the face.

Chen Man struggled for a few times before sitting in Liu Jun's arms.

"Master, Liu Gang is really the son of Dashuai Liu today. He won't cause trouble for you, right?"

"If you fight, you will fight. Don't worry, there will be no problem. This is all in my control."

"Master, I want to transfer Hongxiufang and no longer show up in public in the future."

Chen Man opened this Hongxiufang here, but after being driven out, she wanted to have a living and rely on her. But after meeting Liu Jun unexpectedly, she thought that she would no longer show up. After all, Liu Jun is now in the garrison and would definitely not want to watch her woman show up in public.

"You have worked hard to open this Hongxiufang, wouldn't it be a pity to change hands?" Liu Jun asked.

Chen Man misunderstood Liu Jun's meaning and turned to look at Liu Jun, "I'm thinking too much, I'm just a broken flower and a broken willow."

Liu Jun patted her forehead with a headache. He understood what she meant, "You misunderstood me. Of course I like you, but you don't have to give up Hongxiufang."

"Ah" Chen Man was a little confused about what Liu Jun meant.

After all, the two still have a gap in the times. In Shen Man's eyes, since they have a man they like, they should wash away their bad luck and no longer show up. In Liu Jun's thinking, women are not just men's accessories. They can have a family and a career.

"Hongxiufang actually has great potential." Liu Jun supports her to continue to operate. After all, she is the boss, and as long as she controls the overall situation, she doesn't have to greet guests in person. In this way, she can do not have to show up and continue to operate. For Chen Man, she is at most an outdoor room with Liu Jun, and even the door of her home may not be able to enter. Moreover, Liu Jun actually thinks that Chen Man is better for an outdoor room. If she doesn't enter the house, she will not see a big wife, and have her own business, so that she can live a better life and be happier.

Chen Man didn't expect that Liu Jun would think so far for her. Even if she joined the Liu family as a concubine with her identity, it would definitely be difficult to look up in front of the eldest wife in the future. "Thank you, my grandfather."

"In the future, you can hand over the front desk of Hongxiufang to the person who has written it, and you can take charge of the behind-the-scenes."

Chen Man looked happy and pressed Liu Jun's chest and said, "Master, but in this case, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve you. I have trained some girls. There are two little girls in it, really good, obedient and well-behaved. I won't send them to my side to serve you next time."

Liu Jun was thinking about whether he would give Chen Man another money to make Hongxiufang bigger, or even open some branches. If brothels like Hongxiufang are used to collect information, it would be good. Thinking about this, he didn't hear Chen Man clearly for a while, and he agreed casually, "You can just do these small things."

The capital, the Forbidden City.

The news of the Qihuang victory was reported to the imperial front of the capital, and Chongzhen was greatly shocked.

Previously, the imperial court made every effort to encircle and suppress the bandits in the Central Plains. Under the joint encirclement and suppression of the generals of the governors, the bandits surrendered and the situation was once very good. Later, some ministers proposed to recruit pacify. Chongzhen originally thought that the bandit chaos had finally been suppressed, so he also rejected the proposal of killing all the officials and allowed some officials to successfully recruit Zheng Yiguan, a large pirate on the coast, while serving as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and used Zheng Yiguan to wipe out Xiong Wencan, who was in charge of the pacification matters.

Chongzhen was once very happy that the increasingly fierce rebellion of bandits since he ascended the throne was finally over. At this time, he could finally transfer various elite troops from the Central Plains to the north and make every effort to defend against the Tartars outside the pass.

It was not long after the relaxation, Dong Jianlu attacked the pass again, and even killed Shandong and destroyed Jinan City. After half a year of invasion, the thieves were like entering a no-man, burning, killing, looting, destroying countless cities, and kidnap hundreds of thousands of people. This was the fourth large-scale invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty since he ascended the throne.

Although the situation was better than the situation last year when the bandits surrounded the city of Beijing in the third year of Chongzhen, the performance of the officers and soldiers still made him angry. After the Qing soldiers were full and plundered, Chongzhen suddenly killed thirty-six senior civil and military officials at the same time at Caishikou on the same day.

The damage caused by the Jianlu invasion has not been taken care of yet, and the bandits who thought they had been healed have rebelled again.

When Chongzhen heard the news of Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao and others' rebellion, his face was so hot that he regretted believing Xiong Wencan's plan to recruit him.

It was in this extremely bad situation that he saw the good news of the Qihuang victory.

Defeating more than 20,000 attacks from Hui Zuo Fifth Battalion effectively prevented Hui Zuo Fifth Battalion from going west to meet with rebels such as Xianzhe and Cao Cao. He also beheaded more than 2,000 prisoners. It can be said that this is the best news in two years and the only news that can make people happy.

"Macheng Training General Liu Jun led 500 regiments to fight fiercely with the bandits, Zhutianbao for two days and two nights, wiped out more than 3,000 bandits in the first battalion of Zhutianbao, and reinforced Huang An, repelled thousands of bandits in the first battalion of the bandits, Xiaobawang, and saved Huang An. Liu Jun is so brave, it is so great, I feel so comforted."

He walked around the Ganqing Palace, and was amazed from time to time, very happy. "This Liu Jun, a little general manager, has such ability, and is very good."

He couldn't help but be very curious about this Liu Jun. He wanted to know what kind of person Liu Jun was who could achieve such a record.

On his imperial case, many memorials have been submitted in succession in recent days. Among them are Prime Minister Xiong Wencan, and the supervisor Yang Sichang. In addition, there are memorials by Huguang Governor Fang Kongzhang and Huguang Xiajiang Defense Army Zhao Cheng. In addition, there are memorials by former Minister of Personnel Li Changgeng, Gansu Mei Zhihuan, and Shanxi Censor Li Lishu.

In these comments, they basically praised the emperor as a young man Liu Jun.

Through these memorials, Chongzhen realized that Liu Jun, the newly-made general, was only twenty years old. He was just a martial artist before. The Nine-Headed Bird Group Training he formed only took less than three months.

Chongzhen walked to the desk and wrote the word Liu Jun. Looking at the name on the paper, Chongzhen sighed very much. The country has not seen a promising young man like Liu Jun for a long time. According to Mei Zhihuan and others, Liu Jun is simply another Qi Shaobao.

At that time, Qi Shaobao became the commander-in-chief at the age of sixteen, but now 20-year-old Liu Jun was promoted to the commander-in-chief by Xiong Wencan, which is really a bit imaginative.

Today, Chongzhen got up before dawn, washed up under the service of a group of palace maids, put on their crowns and clothes, burned incense and worshiped the sky, and kowtowed. After praying silently for a while, then returned to the deliberate intention at the western end of the Ganqing Palace. Because he was in a good mood, when he accepted the greetings from the queen, prince, concubine and princess as usual, he asked them to stay for a while and shared the news of the Qihuang victory with them.

Wearing a dark dragon yellow satin dragon robe, Chongzhen sat in front of the imperial desk and looked at the piece of rice paper in front of him, with several names written on it.

The first one is Liu Jun, the second one is Xiong Wencan, the third one is Yang Sichang, and there are more than a dozen names including Zuo Liangyu, Kong Fangxu, Mei Zhihuan, Li Changgeng, and Li Shuchu.

A palace maid held a tray with a bowl of bird's nest soup and a silver spoon on it, and gently walked into the warm room. Another palace maid took the bird's nest and silver spoon from the tray, brought it to the emperor, and opened the lid.

Chongzhen picked up the silver spoon and slowly drank the bird's nest soup.

After drinking the soup, he picked up Xiong Wencan's memorial, which was the request to Xiong Wencan set up a new position of Macheng Guard and appointed Liu Jun as the garrison of Macheng. Xiong Wencan is currently the prime minister and has the right to appoint a military position such as Macheng Guard, but such an appointment must eventually be submitted to the court. Then the emperor reviewed and approved it.

In the past, a fourth-rank military position would not have to be presented to him. As the king of a country, he would have many things to deal with every day and have important matters to deal with. Such things as ex-prisonment and promotion are not required to pass through the Ministry of Personnel and the cabinet. Often, he just glances and then criticizes the word "Char". If he is not satisfied with that person, he can just cross the name with a red pen.

But now Chongzhen looked at this memorial, but he looked at it for a long time.

He picked up the note and read it again, but did not make a decision immediately.

"Call Wang Chengen here."

Wang Chengen was a eunuch in the Sili Supervisor. He had a high status in the internal custody in the palace, equivalent to the emperor's inner court assistant, second only to the eunuch in charge of seals.

Wang Chengen arrived soon and stood respectfully.

"Wang Cheng'en, is Liu Qiao here?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Governor Liu is waiting for him to see you outside."

"Call him in."

The tall Liu Qiao entered under the guidance of the little eunuch and bowed to him as soon as he came in.

"Liu Qing is calm." Chongzhen called Liu Qiao, "Liu Qing, I ask you, what is the relationship between Liu Jun, the general manager of Macheng, and you?"

Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the emperor rushed to call him into the palace, which was actually for this matter. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the emperor had already continued, "You Liu Qiao, you actually have such a great nephew, but you still hide it. With such a powerful nephew, why didn't you report to me earlier?"

Liu Qiao was really shocked, and then he suddenly realized that the emperor valued Liu Jun, who had come to recognize his relatives but was rejected by the Liu family.

He immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Liu Jun is indeed a subordinate of the minister." Liu Qiao said immediately, and told him about how Liu Jun's grandfather Liu Chengye was driven back to Huguang by his father Liu Shouyou and drove him out of the Liu family. He also said that Liu Jiye was determined to reform himself, studied hard and married his wife and children, etc.

Chongzhen was very happy when he heard that Liu Jun was actually the descendants of Liu Tian and Liu Shouyou, a famous minister of this dynasty, and he was very happy. "Sure enough, the children of famous ministers are loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and it is rare to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism."

When he confirmed that Liu Jun was indeed the great-grandson of the former Jinyi Magistrate Liu Shouyou and the nephew of the current crown prince Liu Qiao, he made a decision immediately.

"Wang Cheng'en, I will draw an order for me, and the imperial envoy Liu Jun is the commander-in-chief of the Huguang Guerrilla General's Office, and is ordered to suppress the bandits."

Liu Qiao was shocked. Xiong Wencan directly promoted Liu Jun from an eighth-rank chief to a fourth-rank commander as a garrison, which was already an extraordinary promotion. Now the emperor has gone further and directly promoted Liu Jun to a guerrilla general. The guerrilla general is one level higher than the garrison and is an imperial envoy. Although he has no rank, the commander as a rank of the commander as a third-rank military post. Although he has added the name "大大" and means temporary agency, it is quite amazing.

However, Chongzhen did not give up and paused and continued, "Another heir of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Liu Jun, was appointed as the Hundred Houses of the Embroidered Uniform Guards."

Liu Qiao's heart was so thunderous that he glanced at the emperor secretly. He was familiar with the emperor. Once he liked someone, it would be impossible to get an extraordinary reward. He had been promoted to thirteenth level a year. For example, Yuan Chonghuan, who was also rising all the way, and Yang Sichang, who is now very proud of his holy favor. Could it be that the emperor has now liked Liu Jun again

Although Liu Qiao was far away in the capital, he knew about Liu Jun. His father once wrote to him that Liu Chengye's descendant Liu Jun came to the Liu family to recognize his relatives, and said that he refused. Later, his father sent several more letters and told him that Liu Jun was appreciated by Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan for some reason.

This kid is indeed amazing. Now he is not only appreciated by Li Changgeng and Mei Zhihuan. He has reached Tianting directly and has been greatly appreciated by the emperor.

Before Wang Cheng'en could not wait, Emperor Chongzhen, who had already picked up the ivory pen and quickly wrote a handwritten edict.

"Huguang General of Living Literature Liu Jun defeated the bandits and was brave and generous, which was very commendable. He was promoted to Huguang guerrilla general today, assisting the general of the general of the army, Yang Sichang, Xiong Wencan to suppress the bandits, drive away the rebel bandits, and report good news to ensure the stability of the country. Liu Jun's previous achievements were not rewarded with great rewards, so he could not inspire his soldiers. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief and also awarded the hereditary position of the 100 households of the Jinyiwei family. I admire this."

After Chongzhen finished writing this simple hand edict in one go, he read it himself, put down his red pen, and handed it over to Wang Chengen.

Although Liu Jun was just a Weiwu student three months ago, he was now suddenly promoted to a guerrilla general, which was really shocking. However, in the current chaos and harsh situation, Chongzhen really needed a young man like Liu Jun to bring more news to himself. Such promotion to Liu Jun is also a move that allows civil and military officials from all over the world to see his attitude.

After writing this hand edict, Chongzhen turned around a few times in front of the imperial case with his hands behind his back and said, "Transfer a secret decree to Yang Sichang, and let him take Xiong Wencan's decree to suspend his decree, and allow Xiong Wencan to take the matter under his guilt and redeem his sins." To be continued.
