Chapter 174: Congratulations, Your Majesty
"What?"
Xiao Jing was at night yesterday and only went to bed at midnight. He was taking a nap but was woken up.
In the side hall, he stared at his godson Wang Liu, and in his hand, he was holding a report from the East Factory urgently delivered.
Xiao Jing said with a sharp look: "Has it been checked? This is not a joke. Yang Xiong's son is usually peaceful, why did he go to Guizhou..."
"It's verified. If it's not verified, I won't dare to disturb my godfather."
call……
Xiao Jing's face relaxed a little, and then suddenly became apparent. So...
He looked at the memorial again. The content of the memorial was really shocked to him.
"Let's go!" Gripping his teeth. Although he felt incredible, he decided to believe Yang Xiong and Dongchang.
This is a great contribution. It is an unprecedented victory since the emperor ascended the throne. Whoever reported the palace in front of him is also a great contribution: "Go to see the emperor!"
…………
Meridian Gate.
When Zhang Mao quickly arrived here, he quickly walked into the palace. He had a waist sign to enter and exit the palace. The guards in front of the door recognized him and saluted him one after another: "I have met the British Duke."
Zhang Mao looked solemn and nodded lightly. At this time, he also held a good news in his hand.
This was sent by the commander of Guizhou City, Kuaima ordered people to send it.
Zhang Mao is the governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Although he is on duty, in fact, the Governor's Office of the Five Army has long been undermined.
At the same time, the commander commanders of each province have been replaced by the generals of each province.
But this does not mean that the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the local commander have completely lost its effectiveness. In name, the Governor's Commander is still the highest military officer in Guizhou Province. Therefore, it is also the duty to report the victory to the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
After Zhang Mao received the good news, he just sneered at first, "Taking the Money to the Money... If he didn't do such a Money, he was seeking death."
But he quickly felt something was wrong. It was not until the Jinyiwei sent someone to the Governor's Office of the Five Army to inquire about the news that he suddenly realized that a huge victory occurred in Guizhou.
As the Duke of England and served in kings for generations, Zhang Mao would not have known that the Hongzhi Dynasty needed a huge victory to demonstrate his martial arts.
So, without hesitation, he immediately set off and entered the palace... to see the carriage.
At this time, he heard the guard guarding the Meridian Gate say, "Mr., you came very early, but today is strange. Commander Mou has just entered the palace..."
Mou Bin, commander of the Jinyiwei City Commander...
Zhang Mao suddenly bared his teeth, too lazy to talk too much, and rushed into the door hole in a hurry.
After a while, the breathless Minister of War Ma Wensheng had gotten out of the sedan chair and walked towards him desperately.
…………
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was looking at many test papers and was already exhausted.
Although it was verified, all these memorials made him unable to get excited and were still extremely boring.
He put the test paper aside, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hey, the students specialize in eight-legged essays, but they are negligent in strategy and have a great literary style. However, there are very few people who can hit the nail on the head."
It was not groundless to express this feeling. Emperor Hongzhi used to like those scholars with great literary talent. But after becoming emperors, after a year, there were either droughts, floods, or borders in urgent need, or chieftains rebellion. Only then did he realize how important those who could solve practical problems were.
Seeing that His Majesty had aroused his conversation, Liu Jian also put aside the matter at hand: "Your Majesty is so serious."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled unanimously: "I have read Wang Shouren's test again and again. If there is no problem with verification, I will choose him first. And Yang Wenshi, this person's policy is quite generous. He ranks 13th in the imperial examination? This time, I will click him second..."
He reported more than a dozen names in a row, and when he reached the fifteenth, he said lightly: "Ouyang Zhi's question is a little more craftsmanship, and he is ranked fifteenth..."
When Liu Jian heard this, he felt that it was a pity for Ouyang Zhi.
However, he was not very satisfied with Ouyang Zhi's answer. As His Majesty said, the craftsmanship was too strong. Fang Jifan's last idea was to build a mountain camp, but the problem was that compared with other policy arguments, it seemed that it was a little worse. Besides, His Majesty had issued an order to build a mountain camp, but apart from wasting a lot of money and grain, he still had no results.
Xie Qian and Li Dongyang had no objection to this.
Emperor Hongzhi roughly expressed his thoughts on this palace examination, and then prepared to bow his head and continue to review the papers.
But at this moment, outside the warm cabinet, there were rapid footsteps, and someone outside said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has handed over the report, saying that it is urgent."
Cabinet?
Now all the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet are here. I think it is because the Hanlin who is waiting for the imperial examination is in trouble, so I came to report it.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and was a little angry.
Can't these things be done well? Don't they know that he is doing something more important with Liu Qing's family and others?
But when things came to an end, I still suppressed my anger: "What kind of report is sent in."
Immediately, an eunuch on duty rushed in and saluted Emperor Hongzhi. Then, a report was placed on Emperor Hongzhi's imperial case.
Emperor Hongzhi looked down and was shocked.
It was an urgent report sent by Guizhou!
Thinking of the four words "Hurry" just now, I think that the military situation in Guizhou must have undergone great changes. Emperor Hongzhi did not hesitate and immediately took the memorial and opened it. When he saw it, he was completely stunned.
"My dear, Wang Shi, bowed and greeted him. Guizhou was set up for the construction of a mountain camp in accordance with His Majesty's order. A few days ago, the mountain camp went to fight and encountered most of the rebels, with three thousand troops, and fought fiercely with the bandits. Although the rebels were good at the mountains, our mountain camp was even more brave. In the battle of the mountain, it was like walking on flat ground and brave enough. The bandits were defeated. The mountain camp took advantage of the situation to block the killing. The bandits were defeated and left Jinshanzhai. On the same day, the mountain camp defeated them and pursued them with the victory. The momentum was unstoppable...
Now, the rebels were beheaded at level 5,371, and twenty-three camps were drawn. Another camp was another one. Without waiting for the mountain camp to arrive, the bandits were furious, like a dog with a broken spine, burning it. I was overjoyed to hear this good news. Now I am particularly excited to report the good news…”
Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly turned pale.
The next moment, he slapped the memorial on the desk: "Wang Shi, you are so brave. He dares to take credit for it. This is a deception of the king. Don't forgive me if you die!"
Emperor Hongzhi rarely got angry. At least in front of his ministers, of course, if he met the prince, it would be another matter. After all, few people had the courage and IQ would jump around as unscrupulously as the prince.
Liu Jian was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty... This is..."
Xie Qian and Li Dongyang also looked at each other, and were also shocked.
"Let's take a look, see how ugly this Wang Shi is."
The eunuch was so scared that he didn't dare to let out, so he quickly obtained the good news and delivered it to Liu Jian's hand. Liu Jian only glanced at it hurriedly, his face turned pale, and then he sighed heavily.
After Li Dongyang and Xie Qian circulated, their expressions became solemn.
Emperor Hongzhi stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "You guys, why did Wang Shi take the blame?"
"I'm afraid..." Liu Jian was the first minister of the cabinet. After several dynasties, he had never seen any world. He shook his head and said, "When the previous emperor was there, if there was a rebellion, once the official army was in trouble, in order to prevent the court from pursuing the court, he wrote a letter to win and a victory was made. Not only that, he also used this to seek credit, and at the same time he bribed the alchemist trusted by the previous emperor, or tried his best to curry favor with the imperial concubine, so that the previous emperor would misconvince..."
"No," Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "It's really terrible. I rely on Wang Shi so much. I never expected that he would be unfavorable to the attack. He actually gave me such a ridiculous good news to swear. Did he think I was confused? He regarded me as the previous emperor?"
Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that his veins burst out: "Three thousand people beheaded five thousand, so how many thief troops are they facing? Dozens of camps are drawn. Is this possible? If the rebels are so easy to deal with, then why have tens of thousands of troops been repeatedly frustrated? If the three thousand people can be solved, what is the purpose of the 100,000 troops deployed in Yunnan and Guizhou?"
Every question is actually normal thinking and logic. After all, Emperor Hongzhi is not stupid.
Liu Jian sighed in his heart, and just comforted him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter... may not be what Your Majesty thinks."
"Isn't it what I think, or that? Can't I count it? I'm so stupid that I can't even tell the truth or falsehood of the victory?"
As he was speaking, someone else said outside: "Your Majesty, I ask for a visit."
This is Xiao Jing's voice.
Emperor Hongzhi remembered that Xiao Jing was on night yesterday, but he didn't expect that he had not fallen asleep at this time.
Emperor Hongzhi was furious at first, but now when he heard this, he had no good expression and said coldly: "Come in."
Xiao Jing entered the pavilion with a trembling trembling. When he saw His Majesty's angry look, he understood everything. However, he smiled slightly and bowed: "I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty."
"..." Emperor Hongzhi frowned and stared at Xiao Jing, wanting to have an attack.
Xiao Jing immediately took out the report and said without delay: "Report to Your Majesty, Yang Xiong, the central official of Guizhou, has received a good news. Guizhou is a great victory. Your Majesty is prosperous and prosperous, and where is the prosperous Ming Dynasty eternal eternal period?"
There is still a report?
Is it Yang Xiong, the middle-aged official?
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned. Yang Xiong was a man from the palace and actually colluded with Wang Shi to commit fraud?
This seems wrong. Wang Shi’s fraud can be understood as taking credit for his achievements, but Yang Xiong, a eunuch, was a man from the palace. Why did he take the risk of controversy with Wang Shi’s world?
A doubt suddenly arose in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi. Perhaps... it was bought by Wang Shi?
Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward to get the good news and looked down at it. The content inside was almost the same as Wang Shi's retribution.
He still had a calm face, but suddenly became quiet.
What the hell is...what happened.
He may not believe in Wang Shi or Yang Xiong, but is it not true that the two of them are together?
