Before the Qing army left the pass, Jinzhou had been closed for martial law.

On this day, the people on the city wall suddenly saw a team of knights coming from the horse. When they got close, they found that the person in the lead was wearing a white flying fish suit, followed by a large number of black flying fish suits. It was obvious that a hundred households of Jinyiwei came over with nearly thirty Jinyiwei.

Suddenly, they thought of the conflict between their magistrate and the prime minister. They didn't have to guess that the Jinyiwei suddenly came to Jinzhou, which must be related to this matter. After thinking about it, they immediately became worried.

Unlike the last time I came to the army, there are no Qing Tartars outside now, and the other side is the emperor's personal army. The famous Jinyiwei, no one has the courage to not let Jinyiwei enter the city.

Chen Hongxu, who was discussing affairs in the yamen, heard that the Jinyiwei had arrived outside the city and was about to enter the city, and he couldn't help but feel nervous immediately. Although he knew that Lu Xiangsheng would speak for him, the offended this time was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and the head of all officials. It would be fake to say that he was not worried.

The officials of the yamen who followed him to discuss matters, as well as the gentry leading the city, were also scared. One of them immediately suggested to Chen Hongxu: "Sir, it is definitely not a good thing for the Jinyiwei to come here. Otherwise, I would just be afraid of spies and not let them enter the city?"

"Yes, don't open the city gate. If the Jinyiwei can't come in, you can't do anything to you!" Others also said.

When Chen Hongxu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, I am an official appointed by the court after all, and the Jinyiwei must have come by the order. How can he refuse to enter?"

Speaking of this, seeing that they seemed to want to talk, he immediately added: "Besides, if you can hide from the first day of the lunar calendar, can you still escape from the fifteenth? Let's go to welcome them together, it may not be a bad thing!"

Although he said this, he himself didn't believe it. It was just that things had come to this point, and he could only comfort himself and think about it in the better direction.

After saying that, he took the lead in walking out.

When the others met, they looked at each other and saw each other's concerns. But there was no way, so they could only go out with the prefect.

However, the magistrate offended the prime minister for Jinzhou. No matter what, they didn't want Chen Hongxu to have something to do. Therefore, they fell a little behind, lowered their voices, and discussed while walking.

"If you want me to see, the Jinyiwei will come so soon, it will definitely be unfavorable to the magistrate!"

"Yes, although I heard that Secretary Lu would speak for the magistrate, Secretary Lu could be better than the Chief Supervisor? I think the emperor would definitely believe in the Chief Supervisor's words!"

"Otherwise, we can't wait any longer. We must send people to the capital immediately to contact the villagers who are officials in Beijing to get active and seek justice for the magistrate!"

"Listen, if the Jinyiwei wants to take someone on the spot later, we will plead for the adults and state their difficulties together! You might as well give some money to let the Jinyiwei take care of us when he returns. It would be even better if we can convey the wishes of the people in the whole city of Jinzhou!"

“…”

As they said this, passers-by heard it and joined their journey. When Chen Hongxu arrived at the city gate, behind him were all the people of Jinzhou who had arrived after hearing the news!

The city gate opened, and the Jinyiwei, who was a little impatient to wait, entered the city gate hole. When he looked up, he was shocked when he saw the dense crowd of people.

However, Chen Hao, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, felt a lot calmer when he saw the leader wearing the official uniform of Jinzhou magistrate, and immediately asked: "Are you the magistrate of Jinzhou Chen Hongxu?"

Chen Hongxu was moved by so many people who had come to his heart, and was also a little worried, fearing that if things really went to a disadvantage, these Jinyiwei came to arrest him on the spot, it would be bad if it caused civil unrest.

Therefore, when he heard the question from the Jinyiwei Baihu, he hurriedly replied: "I am Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou. Please ask Baihu to go to the yamen to speak!"

If you get to the yamen and have fewer people, it should not cause a big rebound among the people of Jinzhou. If you choose to leave the city with fewer people, you may be able to leave quietly. There is no need to worry about the civil unrest in Jinzhou, which will cause trouble instead.

But who knew that when the Jinyiwei Baihu confirmed that the person in front of him was Chen Hongxu, the magistrate of Jinzhou, he felt relieved. When he saw a person in front of him, he smiled and said loudly: "The emperor ordered Chen Hongxu, the magistrate of Jinzhou, to receive the order!"

When Chen Hongxu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that his efforts were wasted and he was actually here to announce the imperial edict.

However, the Jinyiwei Baihu had already said it, and he had no choice but to kneel down and listen to the order. The people behind him also knelt down, but they all raised their heads and looked at the Jinyiwei Baihu nervously, and also looked at Chen Hongxu's back, looking worried.

"I have ordered the Dongchang to find out the truth. Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, deserves to be a pillar of the country. He defended the city under the siege of 100,000 Qing troops and preserved the people of Jinzhou. I feel very relieved. When I return to Beijing to discuss the merits after the war, I will use it with other benefits..."

Hearing this, Chen Hongxu looked up in shock, thinking that he had heard it wrong! The officials and people of Jinzhou behind him were all surprised, and many people even opened their mouths wide and looked at the talking household of the Jinyiwei with incredible expressions.

"...Now the Qing army is still raging in the pass, and Jinzhou's experience in defending the city should be quickly promoted to let all cities learn it. Therefore, Chen Qing quickly summarized the experience in defending the city in Jinzhou and handed it over to the Jinyiwei to pass it to each city to control the Qing army. I respect this!"

Hearing this, Chen Hongxu could confirm that he had heard it right. He was immediately excited when he remembered that he praised himself as a pillar of the country in the emperor's oral order!

As a minister, he was regarded as a pillar of the country by the emperor. What a great honor! For a moment, he forgot to accept the order and was a little stupid.

And the people behind him, those who had heard the emperor's words clearly, were also very happy. They did not become stupid, but were excited.

"The emperor is wise!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"Good people will be rewarded. The emperor is so wise!"

“…”

When the person who heard these words and did not hear the content of the oral order suddenly became anxious. What a good thing? What a good thing? Hurry up, talk quickly, I'm so anxious!

Amid the noise, Chen Hongxu finally came to his senses and immediately received the order to thank him. After getting up, he immediately reached out and asked the Jinyiwei to follow him to the yamen. He immediately went to write about his experience in defending the city.

On the street leading to the Yamen, the people standing were all over the streets, and they immediately separated a road and watched the magistrate happily accompany the Jinyiwei to the Yamen. Soon after, they dispersed and spread the news throughout Jinzhou City. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers rang out, as if the New Year was coming.

When he arrived at the yamen, there were fewer people around him. Chen Hongxu was still a little strange in his heart, thinking that the chief minister was just a fierce mouth and did not impeach him after returning to Beijing?
