After seeing Yan Shouqin off, Shen Kuo looked at the ministers in front of him.

Each one was asked their name and age.

Unexpectedly, Shen Kuo saw a familiar person.

"Captain Tong?" Shen Kuo smiled.

"Don't dare!" Tong Guan immediately bowed: "In front of the promotion, I dare to call myself Taiwei..."

Now he is just a junior member of the Huang family, belonging to the lowest rank among the ministers.

Although the ministers also have the method of grinding, every minister knows that if they really rely on grinding to get promoted, it is basically impossible to climb to the rank of ambassador until the age of eighty.

Therefore, for ministers, there is actually only one way - to perform meritorious services! To perform meritorious services! To perform meritorious services!

Shen Kuo smiled, looked at the others, and then said: "The officials have ordered you to specialize in manufacturing weapons bureaus. You will definitely be of great use in the future..."

Everyone smiles.

"However, I have to say something ugly before..." Shen Kuo also knew the problems of the ministers: "If someone in the Ordnance Bureau commits fraud because of greed for merit, or is jealous of talents and frames the master craftsman..."

"In front of officials, I will definitely impeach..."

"Wei!" Everyone lowered their heads.

Shen Kuo put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's do this for today!"

"When I arrive at the Ordnance Bureau's office tomorrow, I will assign errands to you all!"

…

Xinhai, the 19th day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

After Zhao Xu woke up, he had just finished washing and had not had time to have breakfast.

Empress Dowager Xiang came to the Funing Hall. She held in her hands two side reports that had just been transcribed and the ink was not even dry yet.

"Let's take a look at it, officials..." Queen Mother Xiang handed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took it and looked at the contents. One was from Lu Huiqing and the other was from Zhe Kexing.

Lu Huiqing's memorial was very simple. He only said: Meng Lianggong is kind and sage, His Majesty the emperor is sage, and I have repelled the invading bandits and bandits from the West. I have beheaded more than a thousand people, captured more than 2,000 people, and captured over 10,000 cattle, horses, and livestock.

Zhe Kexing's memorial has completely added fuel to the fire.

He reported in detail how Lu Huiqing instructed him to send scouts to investigate into the territory of the Western Bandits, how to detect the movements of the Western Bandits, and how Lu Huiqing laid out the battle plan.

He even pointed out in his memorial: If Zhang Zhi's admonition had not been delayed in Yanyan Road, Master Wang might have gathered together to annihilate the Western thieves at Jialu Village!

Then he expressed heartbrokenly: His Majesty the Emperor was wise and wise. He had known the thieves' intentions and commanded by imperial decree. He laid a huge net in Jialu Village. However, the road to Yanyan was delayed and the work was failed. I am really heartbroken! "

After Zhao Xu finished reading, he put down the memorial, took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and said with a smile: "Mother, if the Western thief escaped, just run away!"

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu's little face in front of her, pretending to be happy, but could not pretend to be anything like it. She immediately felt distressed. She hugged Zhao Xu and said: "Sixth brother Shenwu Ruizhi, the imperial decree personally teaches the commander-in-chief military affairs." event……"

"This could have been a great victory, which would have shocked the foreign barbarians at home and abroad! It would also have made all the states and counties know the power of Sixth Brother!"

"But he was blocked by a traitor!"

"Sixth brother, don't worry, my mother will never make things easy for that traitorous minister!"

These days, every time Queen Mother Xiang thinks of this time, her heart aches!

Today, after Lu Huiqing and Zhe Kexing's side report came to Beijing, her inner heartache and regret have reached the extreme!

Think about it if Zhang Zhijian had not resisted the imperial edict and refused Lu Huiqing's military order.

According to Lu Huiqing's deployment reported by Zhe Kexing.

Use Jialu Village to attract the Western thieves and let them enter the enemy's army and fortify the city.

Then the armies from Fuyan Road and Hedong Road advanced from east to west, outflanking the rebel army's retreat and setting up numerous ambushes!

In this way, none of the Western thieves can escape!

Sixth Brother has been on the throne for more than two months, and he can use the imperial edict to command a great victory!

It is certain that the four barbarians will be shocked.

Deterrence at home and abroad is also inevitable.

Everyone in the world will also admire it!

Now it's all destroyed! Destroyed by a traitor for his own selfishness!

Queen Mother Xiang is not stupid, she has checked it out.

That Zhang Zhijian was still in Hedong in March. He was impeached by Lu Huiqing because he opposed Lu Huiqing's implementation of Emperor Daxing's "policy of disturbing farming", so he was demoted to the Military and Horse Supervisor of Yanyan Road.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary disobedience, but a deliberate act.

But the question is, how could a military minister have the courage to resist the general orders of a civilian minister?

In other words, who gave him the courage?

Queen Mother Xiang is very curious now!

Zhao Xu gently snuggled into Empress Dowager Xiang's arms and said softly: "Mother, don't be angry, it's not worth it!"

"It's okay..."

"It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth doing this to my mother!"

Queen Mother Xiang looked at the sensible and filial child in her arms, gently stroked his head, and said: "The Queen is not angry... The Queen is not angry..."

However, her face had completely betrayed her.

…

In Yanzhou and Yanzhou, the pacification envoy was stationed at the Yanzhou Road.

The morning fog had just dissipated, and Liu Changzuo, already livid, led his troops straight into the official residence of the economic pacifier.

"What are you doing?" Several officers and soldiers who were taking a nap heard the noise outside the door and wanted to scold them.

Then they saw a large number of armored Western troops and directly broke open the gate.

Liu Changzuo, dressed in battle armor, walked in surrounded by his personal guards.

"Lieutenant Guanjun..."

After being appeased by the plan, the soldiers of the Si Yamen and the officials who came out after hearing the news lowered their heads and dropped their weapons.

Zhang Zhijian, who had just woken up from his sleep, hurriedly came out of the official office and was shocked when he saw the scene in the yard.

He looked at Liu Changzuo, who was wearing armor and was full of anger. He quickly put on a smile and was about to step forward to say something, but several large axes were already placed on his neck.

"Commander!" Zhang Zhijian was frightened and immediately screamed and asked: "Why?"

He is the military commander of Yanyan Road!

At the same time, he is also a seventh-grade envoy of the Imperial City who leads the Fangzhou regiment training envoy!

How many remote counties did the dynasty have?

Xining was only twenty before, but now she is only fifty!

Yaojun is a place to be controlled among military ministers. Without an imperial edict, even civil servants and prime ministers can easily do nothing!

What's more, Liu Changzuo is also a military commander!

Liu Changzuo took out a gold medal from his waist and took a photo of it to Zhang Zhijian.

Gifted by the Emperor, a symbol of imperial power!

"Zhang Zhijian, you are so brave!" Liu Changzuo suppressed the anger in his heart.

"The Merciful Saints of the Two Palaces, the Young Master issued an edict to Marshal Lu of Hedong Province to patrol the border. How dare you disobey the edict and disrespect it!"

"It turned out that the bandits from the west were not heard about the invasion, which made the young master's command fail!"

"You have done a great sin!"

"Take it!"

The guards on the left and right came forward, each kicked Zhang Zhijian roughly to the ground, and held him down.

Then, someone came up with heavy shackles and put them around Zhang Zhijian's neck without any explanation.

Zhang Zhijian struggled desperately and shouted on the ground: "Guan Jun! Guan Jun! The general has been wronged! He has been wronged!"

"Why did Lu Jifu tell the last general Yu that there was a young master who issued an edict?"

Lu Huiqing has an edict from the emperor?

This incident made Zhang Zhijian feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Guan Jun...Guan Jun..." Zhang Zhijian was still wailing.

Liu Changzuo shook his head and ordered: "Stop the mouth of this thief general and keep him in good custody. Don't let him make any mistakes!"

He looked at Zhang Zhijian's face and wished he could kill this bastard with a knife!

Lu Huiqing was the economic envoy to Hedong, and Emperor Daxing also asked him to serve as the pacification envoy to Yanyan Road.
