Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 258 News of Yang Chao (2)

"Good news, good news, Your Majesty!"

Bingbi eunuch Wang Chengen hurriedly trotted towards the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, but was too anxious to trip over the high threshold and fell to the ground. A shoe flew over his head and almost hit the desk where he was reviewing the memorial. Emperor Chongzhen, then Wang Chengen didn't care to get up, and rushed to the Chongzhen case without hesitation.

Seeing the funny servant, Chongzhen almost couldn't help laughing, but fortunately he held back a breath so as not to lose the majesty of the emperor.

Then Chongzhen feigned anger and said, "You slave, what are you doing in such a panic!"

As if shocked by the majesty of the emperor, Wang Chengen knelt in front of the case, trembling.

But still with a slight surprise, but with a voice of fear, he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the good news is here!"

"Good news?"

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, but continued to review the memorial.

"Another good news from Zhou Ge's department? It's better to have good news than nothing!"

Having said that, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly inadvertently.

Zhou Yanru was his trusted subject. When the captives invaded the East, Zhou Yanru asked himself to be a supervisor. This attitude made Chongzhen appreciate him very much. He liked this kind of courtier who took the initiative to do things.

As a result, after Zhou Yanru arrived in Tongzhou, he sent him good news every three days. At first, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, but none of these good news came. In the end, it aroused the impeachment of all the officials, impeaching Zhou Yanru to sit in Tongzhou, Sit back and watch the Tartars ravage and harass the people.

Wang Chengen looked up and saw that the emperor was still busy with his head down, and he said carefully: "Your Majesty, this time it is not a good news from the Zhou Ge Department, but from the Caodu Mansion in Huai'an. The good news from Haizhou, three hundred beheaded, the heads have been delivered. Under investigation by the Ministry of War!"

"what!"

Chongzhen finally put down the imperial brush in his hand at this moment, and looked up at Wang Chengen in astonishment.

"What's going on? What about Shi Kefa's memorial?"

the emperor asked anxiously.

Based on the headless news that often comes from Liaodong and the good news sent by Zhou Yanru these days, the Tatars are all cavalry, and even if they win, they often have no heads. There may be gains, but Shi Kefa sent 300 heads, which means that Jiangnan has a big victory, and the defeated enemies are far more than [-].

Wang Chengen kowtowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the memorandum has just been delivered, but the servant intercepted it, and it is in the arms of the servant."

The emperor had already stood up: "Submit it soon!"

Only then did Wang Chengen get up, and limped towards the emperor, taking out a hard paper memorial in his hand.

The emperor looked at the slave with a slightly unbearable look on his face, but he quickly took the memorial and looked it over.

Looking at the emperor's hands, he couldn't help shaking.

Shi Kefa explained the cause and effect in the memorial. Haizhou was besieged. Shi Kefa sent a general officer Qian from Nanjing to rescue him. The fierce battle almost wiped out all the captive soldiers.

Although the matter is simple, in the hands of a civil servant like Shi Kefa, the pen is brilliant, and he insists on writing with a sense of sight.

After reading it, the emperor slapped the memorial on the imperial case, took a deep breath and sighed: "What a brave general!"

Three hundred cavalry in the front charged directly, and infantry charged the cavalry, killing three hundred. I didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general under my rule. He was really a famous minister of the virtuous king.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Wang Chengen immediately complimented him from the sidelines: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, for having won such a strong general, why worry about not being able to defeat the Eastern captives!"

But then Wang Chengen expressed doubts: "It's just that those heads have not been inspected by the military department, so we don't know whether they are true or not!"

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he looked at the emperor carefully. Ever since Cao Huachun, who served Chongzhen in the Xinwang Mansion since he was a child, went home for the funeral, Wang Chengen replaced Cao Huachun as the eunuch of Bingbi, and won the emperor's trust, especially when Chongzhen became more and more concerned with the performance of civil officials. After being disappointed, Wang Cheng'en almost became the emperor's most trusted person, and even Zhou Yanru had to bribe him if he wanted to be prime minister again.

The reason why Wang Chengen was able to do this was definitely not because he was an eunuch, but because he was very good at observing words and expressions.

Sure enough, he saw the emperor's confident tone: "Shi Kefa has already inspected it. Shi Kefa is a serious courtier. If his inspection is correct, there will be no problem."

Wang Chengen secretly felt a little proud, and gave the emperor a comfortable word, which can make the emperor wise: "The Holy One is wise!"

Chongzhen waved his hand: "Such a strong general, such a courtier, should be rewarded. This is the reward. Well, Yang Chao will be rewarded with a thousand taels, if not 300 taels of silver, Shi Kefa will also be rewarded, 500 taels!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is benevolent!"

Chongzhen waved his hand: "Go and do it."

Wang Chengen ran away in a hurry, as if he came in a hurry, which also made the emperor nodded, and then looked down at the memorial again, feeling a little regretful in joy, but unfortunately there were only three hundred captive soldiers. It was reported that thousands of captive soldiers were repelled.

Following the news of Haizhou's success, the news of the Emperor Longyan's great joy and rewards for meritorious officials spread, and soon Yang Chao's name was mentioned by more and more people, let alone more and more people know it.

The reason why Yang Chao's news aroused so many reactions was that apart from the fact that he already had a certain amount of weight, the biggest reason was that he had won the battle.

Yang Chao in Haizhou didn't know about the invasion of the Eastern captives this time, but he knew some things in other places. The army Lai in Tongzhou never went south, never went to Shandong.

Lai spent all day in Tongzhou drinking and having fun with officials at all levels without mentioning it, but instead reported a good news to the emperor at every turn.

The whole world knew what happened to Zhou Yanru's victory, but the emperor didn't know that he was not stingy at all with various rewards and awards.

However, Yang Chao's military exploits have nothing to do with the so-called victories reported by Zhou Yanru that he repelled tens of thousands. The captive soldiers captured, one of them was the captive chieftain who led the troops to plunder, this meaning is too different.

Therefore, it is shocking in the official circles, plus sideways glances, basically no one doubts that Yang Chao will rise to the top because of this military exploit. As long as Yang Chao can fight like this, it is very possible to grow into the next Zuo Liangyu, so he offended him at this time. Yang Chao is unwise.

So Xiong Mingyu originally planned to reconcile with the Marquis of Zhenyuan and promised Gu Zhaoji to let his brother-in-law come out of the mountain again. Totally negative.

Therefore, because Xu Zhongxiao is very good at being a man, after Yang Chao went north, he believed that Yang Chao must die, Feng Kezong had long since lost his mind to deal with Xu Zhongxiao, and enjoyed Xu Zhongxiao's various filial piety in a down-to-earth manner. As a result, Yang Chao beat him. When the news of the victory came, Feng Kezong immediately made up his mind to break off ties with Xu Zhongxiao.

In fact, Feng Kezong was frightened to death when he heard the news. Yang Chao's operation in Nanjing really brought too much harm to Feng Kezong's weak heart. Think of Yang Chao as the living King of Hades.But not only did he fail to do the job entrusted to him by Huo Yanwang, but he hooked up with Xu Zhongxiao and shared the benefits.

Feng Kezong immediately recalled his past feelings, and scolded himself in his heart for being stupid. How could Yang Chao fail when he went to kill the Tartars? How could Yang Chao be the kind of reckless person? Is it sure that Tartar can be killed? Who cares about the legend that Tartar is full of invincibility? Feng Kezong only knows that as long as Yang Chao wants to do something, he can't fail to do it. If he wants to kill Tartar, Tartar just keeps his head down. Feng Kezong didn't find it strange to let him cut off his head obediently.

As a result, when the news came, Feng Kezong was immediately at a loss and lost his sense of control.

But within a few days, another news about Yang Chao spread. Yang Chao was surrounded by [-] troops in Haizhou City!
