Chapter 51: Report to Nine Thousand Years
"Haha, Wang Shangshu, you can tell by reading this book." Li Chunye stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Wang Shaohui took the booklet handed over by Li Chunye with some doubts and opened it. After a while, he was shaking all over and there was a flush of excitement on his face, "This, this, this, Chen Yanling actually has this ability.
"
He read the excerpt carefully. Chen Yanling planned the strategy and commanded well. Long Zongwu, a local Qianhu, and Huang Yu, deputy Qianhu, supervised the military affairs. The magistrates of Fanchang County and Wuhu County mobilized civilians to provide food and grass. The guards of the two places worked together.
Although
They lost one defense and two hundred households in total, but they actually eliminated the local Bailian bandits in Taiping Prefecture, the young Han Wang Han Zhen. They killed more than 300 enemies and captured more than 200 enemies. In particular, more than 100 of them were beheaded.
White Lotus Rikishi. What a great achievement.
I haven't heard any good news all year, and here comes one at the end of the year. Although the annihilation of five to six hundred bandits is not a great victory, the elimination of the remaining White Lotus bandits is worthy of mention. The imperial court has always deeply hated the White Lotus Sect.
, since Xu Hongru was annihilated, there are countless remaining bandits all over the country who are true and false under the banner of the White Lotus Sect. Being able to annihilate such a large group this time can definitely be regarded as a miracle.
It’s just that this excerpt can be changed again. Zhang Heming is an idiot. Can the emperor really go to Nanzhili to investigate? Anyway, they have all been wiped out. Why should we write about more than a hundred White Lotus warriors? Why not just write that all the White Lotus warriors were killed?
Got it
, let Chen Yanling pick out some of the remaining captives and kill them, saying that the white lotus warriors who were screened out were not more perfect. What an idiot, but it was too late to ask Zhang Heming to rewrite, so forget it, just report this to the superiors.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yanling lost 10,000 taels of silver and donated the position of prefect at the beginning of the year. He was really lucky. Wang Shaohui did not believe that Chen Yanling was the leader of this matter. It was probably the county magistrate below who organized the suppression of bandits. He did not expect to make great achievements. Chen Yanling was just
It’s just about sharing the military merits. The general banner named Liu Yi mentioned in the booklet is not bad. He only relies on the troops of his own headquarters.
It can kill Han Zhen. Although there must be water in it, no one would dare to lie about Liu Yi personally beheading the leader of the thief. Moreover, Han Zhen’s head has been certified, and the tablets with Xu Hongru and the banners of Bailian and Maitreya
The golden statues have already been transported to the capital to present victory to the Ministry of War. Li Chunye is also very lucky. A small general flag below can bring him glory.
Wang Shaohui was relieved. With this news, he rushed to report it before the imperial court, and directly blocked the mouths of Yuan Jing and the other villains. Now he could no longer say that I had neglected my employment, and that the official had sold his title. If ten thousand
If two pieces of silver could buy the lives of five hundred bandits, then the Ming Dynasty would have had good governance and peace, and the world would have been peaceful.
Thinking of this, he no longer bothered to drink tea with Li Chunye. Taking this book, he pulled Li Chunye and asked him to get into the carriage and go to Gu Bingqian's house to see him.
At this time, Gu Bingqian was warmly inviting Wei Zhongxian to appreciate a newly acquired blue and white porcelain plum vase with dragon pattern from the Yuan Dynasty in the main hall of the house. Wei Zhongxian was an eunuch, so since he had no function as a man, he naturally did not have many desires for men. However,
It is true that his desire for money and rare treasures is much stronger than that of ordinary people. He especially likes to collect treasures from all over the world, and he will not reject anyone who comes to play, calligraphy or painting. The following disciples and grandchildren followed him, so Wei Zhongxian's property is countless
.
This Gu Bingqian was the chief minister of the current dynasty, with a first-rank official position. He was actually the prime minister in ancient times. He had a position below that of one person and above ten thousand people, but he was a shameless person who followed people's influence. The dignified chief minister actually worshiped Wei Zhongxian's disciples. Ming history records
, once in order to be promoted, Mr. Gu Bingqian ignored his own
At the age of seventy, he took his son to visit Wei Zhongxian and said this: "I hope to recognize you as my father, but I am afraid that you will think that I am too old and unwilling, so I might as well let my son be your grandson!" (
"I wanted to bow down to you, but I was afraid I wouldn't like this white-bearded child, so I asked the young son to recognize his grandson.")
This was also despised by the scholars at that time, so after he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, the people of Kunshan rushed into his house and burned his house. He had no choice but to live abroad and eventually died in a foreign country.
Wei Zhongxian is not tall, about 1.6 meters tall in later generations. He wears a black winged crown with gold thread on his head, wears a black robe, and has a four-clawed python pattern embroidered with gold thread on his chest. Wei Zhongxian is known as
Nine thousand years old, usually travels
The ceremony and expenses are not much different from those of the emperor. Every time he comes out, clean water is splashed on the street, loess is paved, and all the officials and people are prostrated on the ground. He claims to be a nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-year-old grandfather, so his black hair is actually
Dare to rival the prince and embroider the python pattern.
Although he is over fifty years old, his skin is fair and fair, with no beard on his face and very few wrinkles, which shows that he is well maintained. His lips are very thin, the bridge of his nose is not straight, and his slender eyes are squinted, revealing a bright light.
People can't see any psychological clues in his eyes. People
She is very thin, with a slight hunchback, probably caused by always bending down when serving the emperor for many years. She carries a large Hetian Baoyu finger ring in her hand. The whole person looks a bit funny against the sari, and she has a good crown on her head.
The gold-inlaid pearl accessories jingled. A gold and jade belt was tied around the waist.
At this time, he was holding a crystal magnifying glass with a copper handle and was carefully studying the dragon pattern on the vase, "Well, the dragon's head is raised, the dragon's body is facing each other, winding and flying among the auspicious clouds, it is lifelike, haha, it is a real thing."
"As long as the factory owner likes it, I'll have him packed up and sent to the factory owner's house later." Gu Bingqian bowed and said. A dignified first-class official actually called himself a lower official.
"Your Majesty, Chief Assistant, is interested." Wei Zhongxian said.
"No, no, it's Gu's honor to serve the factory owner so well." Gu Bingqian said respectfully from the side with a flattering expression.
The two were talking. Gu Bingqian's son came over to report, "Grandpa, father, Wang Shaohui, Wang Shangshu and Li Chunye Li Shangshu came to visit."
"What are they doing here at this time? It's just disturbing the factory owner's leisure time. If you go, just say I'm busy and won't see you. Ask them to come back tomorrow." Gu Bingqian said, "I understand, father." His son responded.
"Hey~ Lao Gu, what are you doing? How can you say that you are disturbing my leisure time? The two ministers must have official business when they come here. How can they delay their official business because of me? Everyone is working for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. We should follow suit.
Marquis Zhuge Wu died after exhausting himself, Lao Gu, don't you think so?" Wei Zhongxian kept his hands on his hands, still staring at the magnifying glass, and said to Gu Bingqian without raising his head.
"Yes, yes, the factory boss taught me that it's Meng Lang who has been demoted. I'll call them in right now." Gu Bingqian nodded and bowed. If all the civil and military officials saw this scene, their eyes would definitely fall.
He acted like a little boy in front of Wei Zhongxian. You must know that Gu Bingqian was more than ten years older than Wei Zhongxian.
Gu Bingqian's son brought Li Chunye and Wang Shaohui into the hall. They were originally here to visit Gu Bingqian, but when they entered the hall, they suddenly discovered that Wei Zhongxian was here. The two of them knelt down and kowtowed in fear: "Factory
Lord Chitose!"
Wei Zhongxian continued to study the dragon pattern without looking back and said, "Get up. Unfortunately, our family is also at Mr. Gu's house today. I hope I won't disturb the two adults from handling their official duties."
Wang Shaohui immediately responded: "The factory owner really offended me by saying this. I was about to report to the chief minister before going to report to the factory owner. It happened that the factory owner was also there, so I reported it together."
"That's right, that's right." Li Chunye agreed from the side.
When the two said this, Wei Zhongxian really became interested. He put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and a maid next to him brought a basin of water. Wei Zhongxian cleaned his hands in the copper basin, then took the towel handed by the maid next to him and dried his hands and said: "
Don't stand there, sit down and tell me if you have anything to do, I heard that Mr. Gu likes to drink Biluochun, which is a tribute from his hometown, I wonder if our family can have a taste."
"The factory owner was joking. It's Gu's honor that Biluochun from his hometown can fall into the factory owner's eyes." He then ordered everyone to serve tea.
After taking a sip of tea, Gu Bingqian said: "Let's talk about it, the factory owner is also here." At that moment, Wang Shaohui told the Donglin Party about instigating the Yushitai to impeach him, and then presented the good news about South Zhili to him.
Wei Zhongxian looked through it.
Wei Zhongxian listened to what they said and sneered: "Hehehe, it seems that our family has not killed these clowns hard enough. Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou have both turned into ashes. These people are still evil-minded and will not die for a day."
I feel bad for causing trouble for our family. But you are lucky this time. Zhang Heming is very good. This discount was posted very timely. Otherwise, Yuan Jing and his gang would cause trouble.
Get up, our family can't protect you, but can you stop being so stupid when you recognize someone? Can you investigate first before accepting money? All cats and dogs are supported in official positions. You escaped this time, but you will be there next time.
It's doomed." Wang Shaohui broke out in a cold sweat and quickly responded, "What the factory owner said is that I will definitely reflect on it."
"Well, Zhang Heming did a good job. It would be a pity to leave him in Nanjing. If Lao Gu has a chance in the future, please find a way to transfer him to the capital." Wei Zhongxian said while drinking tea.
"Yes, I understand." Gu Bingqian replied.
Wei Zhongxian turned to Wang Shaohui again and said to Wang Shaohui: "Is the Chen Yanling mentioned in this report one of us?"
"Yes, he is one of ours, and he was promoted to the position of Taiping Prefect by a lower official."
"I'm afraid I took the money."
"This, this cannot be hidden from the factory owner's sharp eyes."
"Hmph! It's good to know. I can handle cash and do things beautifully. Chen Yanling is pretty good. Let's transfer him to the Nanjing Military Department and serve as a minister. There are also a lot of people waiting there. As long as they are our people, they will be promoted if they deserve it.
.The foundation of Donglin is in Jiangnan. We must eradicate it. Place more of our people in South Zhili and kill them carefully.
The arrogance of the Donglin Party. And the general banner who beheaded the thieves has some ability. Since the defense leader and Baihu were killed in the battle, let him take over the general position and ask Chen Yanling to talk to him.
, you understand what I mean. Remember our purpose, unite all the forces that can be united, and have only one goal, to destroy the Donglin Party."
