Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 229 Wise Ministers and Good Generals

Lin Cunli knelt down on one knee. Zhu Qiyu asked Lin Cunli to get up, and then said: "The box is sealed with vermilion lacquer and cannot be opened. Cheng Jing, tie it up for him!"

"Yes!" Cheng Jing came over immediately, and the father-in-law behind him came over with a cloth bag. Cheng Jing showed Lin Cunli first that the red paint was intact, and then put it into the cloth bag.

Then Cheng Jing and the father-in-law began to tie the cloth bag on Lin Cunli's body.

After being tied up for a while, Lin Cunli knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, you still have orders!"

"No more, Lin Cunli. As long as this thing is delivered to Cunde safely, I will promote you to Deputy Qianhu, to the position of Minister!" Zhu Qiyu said and called Yu Qian.

"I'm here!" Yu Qian came over immediately.

"Well, if he is successfully delivered to Cunde, he will be promoted to Deputy Qianhu when he returns in triumph!" Zhu Qiyu pointed at Lin Cunli and said.

"Yes!" Yu Qian immediately said with his hands in hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will deliver it in good condition!" Lin Cunli was also very happy. Before coming, Xiao Wu said that if he comes here, he can be promoted to deputy 1,000 households, which is true.

I just worked hard for three days and was replaced by a deputy of a thousand households. Such a good thing is hard to find.

"Go and do it, pay attention to safety!" Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunli with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please leave!" After Lin Cunli cupped his hands, he stood up, continued to cup his hands towards Zhu Qiyu, took three steps back, turned around, and went out immediately!

When they got outside, Lin Cunli also left the palace under the leadership of Jin Yiwei.

In Beijing, people were celebrating again, celebrating the victory of Shanhaiguan.

Lin Cunli came out of the palace and rushed to Shanhaiguan with his guards, but Zeng, Qiu Shuang, and their servants were waiting for Lin Cunli outside a shop on the roadside.

Qiu Shuang and Zeng were both very happy. Lin Cunde won the battle, and people in the capital were discussing and praising them. How could they not be happy?

It's just that they are worried about the safety of their two brothers.

They were relieved to learn from the guards that the two of them were safe.

Just as they were looking at the street expectantly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Now that the weather was hot, there were no pedestrians on the street.

When Mrs. Zeng heard the sound of horse hooves, she immediately rushed out. Sure enough, she saw a group of cavalry approaching. The person in the front was the husband she thought about day and night.

Lin Cunli also saw Mrs. Zeng. After the horse reached Mrs. Zeng, Lin Cunli did not dismount, but reined in the horse. He looked at Mrs. Zeng and said with a gentle smile: "Madam, I have something important to do, so I won't dismount." , how is everything at home, how are you?"

"Okay, okay, everything is fine!" Mrs. Zeng said with distress when she saw Lin Cunli was so tanned.

"Well, that's good, Sister Qiu Shuang, my fifth brother is doing well in Shanhaiguan, so you don't have to worry! I'll leave the family matters to you!" Lin Cunli said to Qiu Shuang.

"Well, okay, don't worry about family matters, I will take care of fourth sister-in-law!" Qiu Shuang also said with a smile to Lin Cunli.

"Okay, madam, I won't say much more. I need to rush to Shanhaiguan. It's urgent from 800 miles away. Madam, take care!" Lin Cunli said, cupping his hands to Mrs. Zeng,

After bowing to Zeng, he bowed to Qiu Shuang again.

"Okay, husband, just pay attention to your safety!" Mrs. Zeng also nodded and said with tears in her eyes.

"Let's go, drive!" Lin Cunli said and immediately urged the war horse. The war horse began to accelerate, and all the guards behind him followed. Zeng also stood there, watching them ride through the street quickly, and then disappeared into the street!

Qiu Shuang also supported Mrs. Zeng and said with a smile: "Fourth sister-in-law, it's okay. Fourth brother must have achieved military exploits this time! Don't worry!"

"Well, don't worry, let's go back. It's too hot. I just saw my husband carrying a kettle, so I guess he won't be thirsty!" Zeng said with a forced smile.

In the palace, Zhu Qiyu chatted with the ministers for a while. In fact, there was nothing serious. Some ministers wanted to report to Zhu Qiyu. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I want to celebrate today. The queen has to prepare lunch just now. If I want to invite you to dinner, I won’t talk about the affairs of the court. Tomorrow, I will go to the Fengxian Hall to offer sacrifices, and I will miss the court tomorrow!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The civil servants immediately said with their hands in hand.

Those civil servants are very panic now. They really want to take the initiative to report to Zhu Qiyu about their work, and hope that Zhu Qiyu will not liquidate himself in the future.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't give them a chance.

"If something happens, come back the next day. That's it for today. Everyone goes back first!" Zhu Qiyu looked at them with a smile and said.

Soon the civil servants left, but they discovered that the generals and Yu Qian had not left.

Those civil servants could only sigh in their hearts. Several civil servants wanted to talk to Chen Xun, but Chen Xun just put his hands behind his back and walked forward without saying a word. At noon, Zhu Qiyu was at Qianqing Palace and invited Wang Ying, Yu Qian, and Guo Sheng to have dinner together. Each person had two cups of wine, which was very little!

Wang Ying has stopped her addiction.

After lunch, Wang Ying went to the fifth military camp to mobilize troops.

Zhu Qiyu stood at the gate of Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back, looking at the heat wave outside.

Cheng Jing and Wang Cheng stood behind Zhu Qiyu.

"Cheng Jing, pick some supplies and send them to Cunde's mansion, especially tea. Cunde loves tea. When he comes back, he can drink it!" Zhu Qiyu turned to Cheng Jing and ordered.

"Hey!" Cheng Jing also smiled and nodded.

"It's not easy to be virtuous when fighting in a day like this. A seventeen-year-old boy can command such a great victory. I still feel like I'm in a dream!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile. The victory of this battle, Zhu Qiyu was also relieved and felt much more relaxed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the servant said, Uncle Luling will definitely win! Uncle Luling is a scholar!" Cheng Jing looked at Zhu Qiyu with a smile and said.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved his hand and said: "There are so many scholars. Ask those civil servants who dares to say that they can win this battle. Even Yu Qian is not sure. In the defense of the capital, we did not kill many Wala soldiers, but you Look at Cunde. In the battle of Hequ, his father-in-law killed 30,000 enemies, relying on Cunde's crossbow. In the battle of Shanhaiguan, Cunde killed 50,000 enemies. As long as Cunde can control the northeast this time, there will be no border troubles in the north in the future. Got it!"

"Yes, your Majesty is benevolent, so heaven sent down virtuous ministers and good generals to assist your Majesty!" Cheng Jing said as he raised his hands to Zhu Qiyu.

After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he laughed and said: "You, you can talk, but I listen to this, I think I haven't done anything stupid in the past six months or so!"

"Of course, the people all say good things about Your Majesty and praise His Majesty the Holy Monarch! The soldiers also said that since Your Majesty ascended the throne, we have never lost in foreign wars! The soldiers love Your Majesty!" Wang Cheng also praised quickly from the side. Said.

"You guys, let's just chat, but we can't tell anyone outside. I still have a lot of things to do, many, many more. I hope Cunde can control the Northeast and help me govern the world! This belongs to my Zhu family The world is also the world of the people. I cannot be scolded by my ancestors, nor can I be scolded by the people!" Zhu Qiyu smiled and then said with emotion.

Zhu Qiyu stood there and looked outside for a while, then returned to the study with his hands behind his back.

Wang Cheng originally wanted to bring the memorial over, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I took half a day off, drank some wine, and am not clear-headed, so I won't review the memorial. I will drink some tea and rest this afternoon!"

"Hey, okay, okay!" Wang Cheng said very happily when he heard that Zhu Qiyu was going to take a rest.

"Your Majesty, please come and boil the water!" Cheng Jing immediately went over to boil the water. Zhu Qiyu was leaning there, feeling much more relaxed!

After a while, Zhu Qiyu fell asleep. Cheng Jing and Wang Cheng covered Zhu Qiyu with a thin blanket.

In the cabinet, several cabinet ministers did not speak. Yu Gang had just been transferred and did not dare to speak. However, Yu Gang listened to Zhu Qiyu, so those cabinet ministers did not dare to discuss some too secretive matters in the cabinet. .

At this time, a seventh-grade official came to the cabinet, raised his hands to Peng Shi and said, "Master Peng, your servant is looking for you outside, saying there is something urgent!"

"Urgent?" Peng Shi looked at the official in confusion and asked.

"I heard that your stepmother died of illness!" the official said while looking at Peng Shi.

"What?" Peng Shi was stupid at this moment. Peng Shi's mother died of illness when he was very young, and his father remarried. His stepmother was very good to Peng Shi. She always supported Peng Shi in his studies and treated Peng Shi as his own son. Moreover, in order to support Peng Shi in his studies, , doing farm work for those wealthy families, Peng Shi's stepmother is a rural woman, doing all kinds of hard work, just to earn a few more pennies to support Peng Shi's education.

Peng Shi burst into tears instantly, and then stumbled out and ran out: "Mother, mother, my mother!"

Chen Xun and the others felt even more worried at this moment. Peng Shi's stepmother died of illness, and the cabinet was missing one more person. Miao Zhong had already returned to his hometown as an official, and Yu Gang had joined the cabinet. Now Peng Shi wants Ding You, so the cabinet must choose someone. Got it!

This time, no one can stop Jiang Yuan!

They don't want Jiang Yuan to join the cabinet.

Chen Xun, Shangluo, and Gao Gu all looked at each other, and they could see worry in each other's eyes.

When Jiang Yuan joins the cabinet, there will be two people in the cabinet who support Zhu Qiyu.

In the future, I’m afraid it will be troublesome for the Cabinet to do things here!

As for Chen Xun, he also felt that he was being targeted by Zhu Qiyu and that he might fall at any time. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu had not provoked him and would just wait for an opportunity to deal with him.

"Hey!" Chen Xun sighed deeply.

With the great victory at Shanhaiguan, it is highly likely that Zhu Qizhen will not be able to fight back, and he will be placed under house arrest when he returns.

After all, this world still belongs to Zhu Qiyu!

Moreover, the two great victories established Zhu Qiyu's prestige in the army and also established Zhu Qiyu's prestige among the people!

There are also many civil servants who think that Zhu Qiyu is a good emperor!

"Hey, I feel a little tired. Please discuss today's matters first!" Chen Xun stood up, feeling exhausted.

In my heart, I hope that Lin Cunde can come back soon. I must keep this position no matter what, otherwise my family will be in trouble.
