Chapter 64: Double Happiness

"Your Majesty, the Criminal Department arrested Jin Chan from Six Gates last night and returned to Beijing to report that the White Lotus Rebellion's lair was discovered in Erlong, Heshan Township, Ningyang County, Yanzhou, Shandong Province. Ningyang County mobilized troops and launched an encirclement and suppression campaign.

The rebel bandits were put down overnight. Xu Hongru, the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect, was forced to death in the Maitreya Temple. None of his comrades were executed. Now here is the victory report from Ningyang County, please

The Emperor Longmu’s Royal View.”

As soon as he came to court today, Yue Su went to the Huangji Palace to tell the truth about the extermination of the rebels.

When Zhu Carpenter heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Send it up."

A eunuch walked up to Yue Su, took the memorial, and presented it to the Carpenter Emperor. After Zhu Carpenter took it, he opened it and looked at it. This memorial to report the victory was written by the Ningyang County Magistrate himself. Whether it should be said or not, this guy deserves it.

He was born as a Jinshi, and he has a lot of ink. He wrote a thrilling and soul-stirring story about a not-so-thrilling encirclement and suppression battle. There were also some flattery and flattery in it, saying that it was caused by the power of heaven, and the bandit leader Xu Hongru saw it.

The situation was over, and Fang Liang died. Of course, Jin Chan's contribution must not be mentioned. In the end, he said that within a few days, people would be sent to take Xu Hongru's body, together with the captured prisoners, to the capital.

After looking at it, Carpenter Zhu looked happy and said, "Okay! Okay! The cabinet has issued a decree that all the officials and soldiers who contributed to the encirclement and suppression of Xu Hongru this time will be highly praised."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Congzhe was the first to shout: "Your Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, all the officials from the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang shouted: "Your Majesty, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"...

Above the main hall, the emperor's holy voice resounded. When the voice stopped, Gu Bingqian, the chief minister of the cabinet, stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"What do you want to say about the Qing family?" Zhu Carpenter looked over in confusion.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know much about the White Lotus Sect, I have heard a little bit about their behavior. The White Lotus Sect has always been secretive, and news of its plot to rebel has been exposed. It should be more careful to hide it. How can it be so easily exposed?

Discovered. Therefore, I wonder if this is a trap set up by the White Lotus Sect to deliberately let the court discover and destroy it. In this way, the court mistakenly believed that the White Lotus Sect had been defeated and took it lightly. They looked for opportunities to take advantage of the court.

Something happens when you are not prepared." Gu Bingqian said in a positive tone.

After he finished speaking, the eunuch officials responded one after another, "Your Majesty, what Gu Chief Fu said is absolutely true. I hope the emperor will not take it lightly and handle it with caution."

"Your Majesty, what Gu Shoufu said is indeed reprehensible, but it is unavoidable that it is unfounded." Seeing the objection raised by the Eunuch Party and why the officials of the three parties did not come forward to refute it, the Qi Shijiao immediately stood up and elaborated on different views. "Although the White Lotus Sect has always acted

They are secretive, but they are a group of clowns after all. It is only a matter of time before they are wiped out by the court. This time, the emperor sent Dongchang and Liumen to Shandong for a thorough investigation. The ability of Dongchang and Liumen was known to the world. As long as they handed over

Nothing they can't handle is impossible. Just now I heard Mr. Yue say that Jin Chan, the head catcher of Liumen, was supervising this matter in Yanzhou. Jin Chan was Mr. Yue's capable general. He used to investigate cases and catch thefts.

He has a very good skill, and has fought against the rebel Dragon Slayer Gang many times, which is a great contribution. In recent years, Jin Baotou has been deeply influenced by Master Yue, and the younger generation of Bailian Sect, no matter how clever they are in hiding, they will never meet Jin Baotou.

It is inevitable for a capable person like the leader to be found out of his lair. As the old saying goes, evil cannot defeat good, and this is the truth."

Qi Shijiao is very slippery. In order to prove that the rebel bandit that was wiped out was Xu Hongru, he simply moved Yue Su out. Your Majesty also knows the ability of Mr. Yue. The so-called strong generals have weak soldiers. Others doubt that this Xu Hongru is fake.

Yes, it was a trap deliberately set up by the rebels. Doesn't that mean questioning Mr. Yue's ability to do things?

"Your Majesty, what Master Qi said is true." This time it was Fang Conzhe's turn to stand up again and said: "I heard what Master Yue just said about the hiding place of the religious bandits. It is already very secret. The reason why it can be discovered is that all

Yu Jin's keenness and insight are of course inseparable from Mr. Yue's many years of teachings. I believe that in a few days, Yanzhou will send Xu Hongru's body to the capital and present the prisoner to the emperor.

, the prisoners will be interrogated in detail at that time, whether it is true or false will be known by just one question."

Mr. Fang Ge is still a capable person, and what he said is even more reasonable. After listening to this, Zhu Carpenter nodded and said: "What Fang Qing's family said is good. When the prisoners are sacrificed, they will be interrogated strictly and they will be able to find out the traitors."

No need to say more about the details of the bandits. The cabinet immediately drafted an order for Ningyang County to come to Beijing to offer prisoners."

The emperor had said so, and Fang Congzhe's words were flawless and could not be refuted. Seeing this situation, the eunuch officials didn't know what to say, so they had to look at Wei Zhongxian who was standing before the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, meaning to tell them, that's it, if anything happens, we can discuss it when we go back.

Therefore, the eunuchs didn't hesitate and said one after another: "Your Majesty is wise."

With the court meeting like this, it was obvious that nothing was going on. Zhu Carpenter nodded again and said, "What else do you have to do with your family? If anything else, I will withdraw from the court." After saying that, he stood up and asked if he had any big projects.

After finishing the work, coming to the morning court is already considered a missed work, and sitting here for the meeting is already worthy of the ancestors.

But just as Zhu Carpenter stood up, a eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside the hall. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, great victory, Liaodong victory..."

The war in Liaodong has been lingering on the minds of the Ming Dynasty. Even though Carpenter Zhu liked to be a carpenter and was reluctant to pay attention to official matters, he was extremely happy when he heard about the good news from Liaodong. He sat down quickly and shouted: "

What good news is this?"

The little eunuch hurriedly ran to the steps, knelt down on the ground, and gasped: "Great victory, great victory... Lord Sun of Liaodong sent people to report the victory... He said that Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Pi Island, went to recapture Jinzhou and Lushun...

...Later, they conquered Donggu Village, Niu Mao Village, and King of Hell Village...beheaded a thousand people...captured 14 living barbarians and five barbarian women...all of them have been verified by talismans...

…”

"Okay! Okay! This is really called good things coming in pairs!" Zhu Carpenter happily photographed the dragon chair and said, "Hurry up and send the person who reported the victory to the palace."

Who doesn't want to hear good words and good news these days, especially as an emperor. When there is good news, he is very happy, but when there is failure, he will inevitably be sad. The same is true for the carpenter emperor. You know, these are all his own.

Not even an inch of land can be given to foreign invaders. There is no way to defeat Nurhachi for a while, but the generals guarding the border must not fail to act.

After a while, the messenger sent by Sun Chengzong to report the victory came to the palace and presented the victory report to the emperor. Zhu Carpenter opened it and took a look. The contents of the victory report were probably as follows: "Mao" Wenlong regained the lost territory, which was a great achievement. Lien Chan

Successive victories, destroying enemy fortresses, and beheading senior soldiers are all made by strong and powerful Tartars, which is even more commendable. Looking at the defeat of Saerhu, it is rare for the court to have such a victory. Today's victory shows that there are still people in the court who want to kill thieves, and thieves have their own.

The day of destruction.

The last content is that Sun Chengzong asked for a reward for "Mao" Wenlong, and said a lot of praise. "Wenlong came to the jackal's den with his lone sword, wandering in the wind and waves, and was able to form alliances with the country, but he was always away from others.

They camped and fought, repeatedly thwarting the thieves, and if they wanted to comply with the request of the ministers, they would pull their tails and destroy their nests. The people of the world were cowardly and watched, worried about those who could not defend themselves, and thought they could be captured. This was really enough to inspire

The bravery and righteousness of the world's heroes will make those who shrink their necks and stoop to death."

Zhu Youxiao read the full text and said: "Mao Wenlong is really a general of our Ming Dynasty. All you dear friends should also take a look." After saying this, he took the good news and circulated it to all the ministers.

Gu Bingqian, Fang Congzhe and others saw it and all nodded in praise. After all, General Mao did not belong to the eunuch party, nor did he belong to the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang. He was an independent official of the party. Such generals who have made contributions to the country will still be rewarded.

Should it be rewarded?

Immediately there was a proposal to make "Mao" Wenlong the governor of Qianshi and give Shang Fang a sword. These things were all imaginary, that is, a higher salary and a good reputation. Of course, Carpenter Zhu would not be stingy with these and immediately agreed.

Although this was just a small episode, Yue Su couldn't help but think of what Xiong Tingbi said to him in the Penal Department Prison. Among them, he mentioned that Mao Wenlong could be valued by Xiong Manzi.

There are not many people there, so this "Mao" Wenlong must be a general. When he heard about the victory report he submitted today, Yue Su kept this person in mind.

And "Mao" Wenlong's fate also changed at this moment.

Within two days, Jin Yiwei brought officials from Jizhen and a lot of evidence back to Beijing.

Now that everyone was here and the evidence had arrived, Yue Su had no reason to delay any longer. Before he could speak, Zhou Yingqiu rushed to ask Yue Su to try Ruan Zhenmei's case as soon as possible.

You have to face what you have to face. On this day, Yue Su went to court to try Ruan Zhenmei in the Ministry of Punishment. Naturally, all the officials from the Third Law Department were present. After everyone sat down, Yue Su first brought the prisoners brought from Jizhen to the lobby.

above.

The commander-in-chief and the supervisor were dead, but that didn't matter. The two students who gave gifts to Ruan Zhenmei were there, as were the other officials who gave gifts. As soon as they came to the hall, they all confessed truthfully and gave all the gifts.

What, what I said is very clear.

What everyone asked Ruan Zhenmei to do was, of course, to conceal the true situation of the border troops. The number of border troops submitted by Jin Yiwei was now clearly sent, which was half less than what Ruan Zhenmei presented to the emperor.

When the case reaches this point, it doesn't matter whether it goes to trial or not. The only difference is that Ruan Zhenmei signed and stamped the confession.

Okay, let’s bring Ruan Zhenmei to court.

In a short time, Ruan Zhenmei was brought to the hall by the officers. When he came to the hall, the hall was full of officials who had given him gifts. The son-in-law was sitting in the middle. When he saw him coming up, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Ruan, it's been a long time."

…”

Business is business. Although the relationship is between father-in-law and son-in-law, in the lobby, public and private matters must be distinguished.

Ruan Zhenmei also raised her hand to Yue Su and said: "Master Yue, it's been a long time..."

By the way, if Xiaoyi had a cold in the past, he would be 70% or 80% better after just sleeping. But this time, the cold didn’t go away in a week. He always had headaches and didn’t know what was going on. Have you heard that something happened recently?

A strong flu or something?

The chapter at zero o'clock will be postponed again. 55555555555 I'm sorry, but Xiaoyi promises that it will be coded out as soon as possible.
