Chapter 402 The capital shakes
Jizhou, inside the Governor's Mansion.

After leading the army under his command to a triumphant return, Yang Xuan had no time to remove his armor, so he went straight back to the Governor's Mansion. He wanted to personally write a letter to the imperial court to inform His Majesty of the situation here.

At this moment, Yang Xuan was sitting in front of the desk, spreading out the pen and paper, brewing the contents of the letter in his mind, after much deliberation, Yang Xuan finally decided to keep things simple.

Perhaps because of being too excited, Yang Xuan's hand holding the brush trembled slightly. After deliberating for a long time, Yang Xuan put down the brush and wrote on the paper.

"Your Majesty, my minister Yang Xuan, governor of Jiliao, not long ago, my minister led an army to successfully defeat the [-] Tatar army that invaded!"

"A total of 720 and three enemy troops were wiped out, and 360 and two pieces of armor were seized, countless kinds of swords and so on, all kinds of cattle and sheep, livestock, etc., totaling more than [-] heads!"

"In addition, in this battle, our army suffered various casualties, totaling more than [-] people!"

When Yang Xuan wrote this, he paused for a moment, and after sorting out the language in his mind, he continued to write.

"Not only that, I have also captured the eldest son of Dalai, the current Zhasaktu Khan Tumahan, and I am currently sending people to escort him to the capital, and I think he will arrive soon!"

After the last stroke was finished, Yang Xuan put the brush back to its original place, checked the contents of the letter carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions.

After the ink on the paper was completely dry, Yang Xuan tidied it up, put it in an envelope, and immediately called his cronies, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Send this letter to the capital, and it's eight hundred miles away, so it must be fast!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Hearing the words, the cronies took orders and left immediately.

Not long after, a guard came in, knelt down on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"Report to the governor, Lord Shangshu is seeking to see you outside!"

Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and immediately ordered.

"Well, let him in!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After a while, Yang Bo, led by the guards, entered the study in the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing Yang Bo's arrival, Yang Xuan asked with concern.

"Have the soldiers' salaries and corresponding rewards been distributed?"

Yang Bo nodded upon hearing this, and immediately responded.

"Well, they have been distributed according to the double share!"

Later, Yang Bo saw that Yang Xuan's face was full of exhaustion, and immediately comforted him.

"Now that the battle is won, it's time for you to take a good rest."

After listening to Yang Bo's reassurance, Yang Xuan shook his head imperceptibly, and immediately spoke.

"After I take a shower and change my clothes later, let them prepare a table of wine and food. Let's celebrate!"

When Yang Bo heard the words, he also responded quite boldly.

"Well, let's not get drunk tonight!"

"Don't get drunk, don't go home!"

……

Capital, Yan Mansion.

In the early morning, when Yan Shifan came to the hall, he saw such a scene.

In the hall, Yan Song was sitting at the head at the moment, with his head drooping, and one hand was about to drop to the ground, but even so, Yan Song still held the book in his hand tightly, reluctant to relax.

And on Yan Song's body, a maid has already spread a layer of blankets.

Immediately, Yan Shifan called the maid and asked softly.

"How long did father wake up?"

When the maid heard the words, she didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately responded.

"Back to Xiaoge, the old man got up when he was Mao, and he has stayed until now."

After Yan Shifan got the answer he wanted from the maid, he immediately waved his hand and ordered.

"Well, I see, you go down!"

Seeing Yan Song sleeping, Yan Shifan sighed indiscernibly.

He knew that his father had been under a lot of pressure these days, and he had to personally interrogate any news that came from Jizhou, for fear of missing something.

Immediately, Yan Shifan walked out of the hall with silent steps, looked at the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, sighed, and said to himself silently: "Oh, I hope the front line can win!"

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the official duty.

When Yan Song and others came to the cabinet one after another, before they started to deal with today's memorial, they saw a subordinate staff walking into the cabinet quickly, kneeling on the ground, and holding the memorial in his hand high Over the top of the head, said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Ge, this is the [-]-mile rush from Jizhou!"

Hearing this, Yan Song regained his energy immediately, got up from the seat abruptly, and took the envelope from the subordinate staff.

Soon, Xu Jie and others also put down their unfinished business and surrounded them one after another. Like Yan Song, they were also extremely curious about the contents of the letter!

Facing everyone's eyes, Yan Song took a deep breath, carefully opened the envelope, and began to browse the contents.

Time passed so slowly, and when Yan Song read the contents of the letter word by word, perhaps because he was too shocked, Yan Song was speechless for a while.

It took a long time for Yan Song to react. The whole figure was like a madman, and he kept muttering in his mouth.

"Haha, the front line won... and won, and it's still a big victory!"

"what!"

Hearing this, Xu Jie couldn't hold back his inner curiosity any longer, took the letter from Yan Song's hand, and began to read it carefully. After a while, Xu Jie put the letter aside and said with a loud smile.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty Shengming, I am victorious, victorious!"

"My Daming is really invincible in the world!"

Immediately afterwards, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan also read the contents of the letter one after another, and they were also shocked by the content written in the letter.

"Yang Xuan, governor of Jiliao, not only wiped out the [-] Tatar army that invaded, but also captured Tumaihan alive. This is an unrivaled achievement!"

Immediately, Zhang Juzheng was the first to react and reminded.

"Should we inform His Majesty of this news as soon as possible?"

After hearing Zhang Juzheng's reminder, everyone came to their senses, and immediately set foot on their way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation without stopping.

On the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yan Song reminded everyone as if he suddenly remembered.

"By the way, call Eunuch Lu along!"

"Ah."

……

In the early morning, Jiajing was sitting on the futon, his eyes seemed to be closed but not closed.

After exercising his mental strength earlier, Jiajing can clearly perceive that his meditation time and the benefits of meditation have greatly improved.

After Jiajing exited the meditation state, he slowly got up from the futon. After roughly sensing the situation in his body, Jiajing could keenly perceive that the mana that could be contained in the dantian was about to reach its limit.

In other words, Jiajing is about to break through again. Since the last breakthrough, Jiajing's realm has remained at the peak of the middle stage of Qi refining. After this period of meditation, the shackles of the realm have been loosened a lot.

If he continues to practice step by step like this, Jiajing will be able to advance to the late stage of Qi refining soon and logically.

Recalling the situation when he broke through the realm last time, Jiajing still had lingering fears. He never thought that just breaking through to the middle stage of Qi refining would attract thunder and calamity. What should we do in the later stage of Qi refining?
"Forget it, it's meaningless to think about it right now, let's focus on practicing!"

I saw Jiajing shaking his head unobtrusively, as if trying to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, the voice of the leading eunuch came from outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge and Eunuch Lu are waiting outside the hall!"

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but frowned, and immediately said in doubt.

"So early, why did they come to me?"

"Forget it, let them in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving Jiajing's order, the guiding eunuch soon came to Lu Fang who was still waiting to be summoned, as well as Yan Song and others, and said respectfully.

"Everyone, His Majesty just said that you can go in!"

"Ah."

Everyone withdrew their gazes, and immediately stepped up the steps of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with solemn expressions.

As soon as they entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, everyone knelt down on the ground in unison, looked at the figure sitting on the dragon chair, and said respectfully.

"My ministers and others meet your majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

Seeing this situation, Jiajing withdrew his gaze, waved his hands quite casually, and immediately ordered.

"Well, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's consent, everyone slowly got up from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Jiajing's ancient well without waves rang in their ears.

"You came to look for me so early, is there any news from Jizhou?"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song, who had just got up from the ground, immediately responded.

"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things. Not long ago, the governor of Jiliao, Yang Xuan, sent people eight hundred miles to rush and sent news. There is a big victory ahead, and tens of thousands of enemies have been wiped out!"

When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment, took out the memorial from his sleeve, held it high above his head, and continued.

"Not only that, Yang Xuan, governor of Jiliao, also captured Dalai's eldest son, the current Zasaktu Khan Tumahan!"

"At present, this Tumaihan is being escorted to the capital by the guards, and he will arrive soon!"

After listening to Yan Song's report, Jiajing couldn't hide the joy on his face, he clenched his fists suddenly, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, this Yang Xuan has done a good job, I want to reward him well!"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang on the side took the memorial from Yan Song's hand, came to Jiajing's side, and handed the memorial to Jiajing respectfully.

Jiajing took the memorial and took it apart, and after browsing the contents above, he felt relieved and said loudly.

"It is my decree that the imperial court will pay four times the salary to all the soldiers who participated in this battle, and the imperial court will also pay four times the original standard for the soldiers who died in battle."

"The relatives left by them will all be supported by the imperial court's special allocation of money!"

"Governor Yang Xuan of Jiliao captured the Great Khan of Tatar and made great achievements in killing the enemy. Now the imperial court officially named him General Hussars, and his duties remain unchanged!"

"Yang Bo, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War, assisted the Governor of Jiliao Yang Xuan in annihilating the invading enemy, and made great contributions. He is now named General Huaiyuan, and his duties remain unchanged!"

"In addition, all officers, big and small, who participated in this battle will be promoted to a higher level on the basis of the original!"

Jiajing's voice fell, and no one at the scene raised any objections to it. Immediately afterwards, everyone knelt down respectfully and said in unison.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Soon, the front line was victorious, the Ming army wiped out tens of thousands of enemies, and the news that the Tatar Khan was captured alive spread quickly to the entire capital at a viral speed!

The common people clapped their hands and applauded, and the officials were also extremely excited, and even didn't care about handling the government affairs at hand, they gathered together in small groups to discuss the matter.
