The voice echoed in the Jinluan Hall of Nuo University, but the content read was suffocating.

Whether it was Lin Haoran's courage to take the initiative, the exquisiteness of his battle plan, or the results he achieved, these all impacted the nerves of everyone present.

Everyone thought that Lin Haoran would only guard against the attack of Anda's army, but Lin Haoran took the initiative to attack and beat Anda and the remaining troops to escape. This is such a heroic spirit.

After Chen Hong recited the content, he also secretly let out a breath.

This good news came just in time. When Xu Dang questioned Lin Haoran's military ability, a loud slap suddenly sounded.

Although the Mongolian cavalry is powerful, China is not weak either, and Lin Haoran is a rare talent seen in a hundred years. In the early days, the reason why the Ming Dynasty often hid in the city was mainly because the generals there were greedy for life and fear of death, and Yang Bo and others were not the same.

He is a mediocre person.

Now, this successful report explains everything. Even if Anda personally leads an army of 100,000 to invade, Lin Haoran and the border troops he manages will make Anda lose the battle and leave in despair.

As for the Ming Dynasty taking the initiative to sue for peace from Anda and offering to send food to Anda so that I can leave obediently, it is simply a big joke.

"Escape?"

Zhao Zhenji knew that his plan had been approved by Long Qing and that he was sure of winning this time, but when he heard the sudden victory, he opened his eyes in disbelief and murmured.

Although he knew that Lin Haoran did have two skills when he was in his hometown in Sichuan and had won several beautiful battles. It was just that the young man was very energetic. It was not unimaginable that this blind cat killed a mouse, but it was not Lin Haoran.

He is truly a military genius that is rare to see in a century.

Likewise, he did not think Lin Haoran was Anda's opponent from the bottom of his heart. He even gave up the dangerous Juyong Pass on the first day because of Lin Haoran's pride and underestimation of the enemy, so he came up with the middle-ground peace negotiation plan just now.

But who would have thought that now there would be news that Lin Haoran had easily severely damaged Anda's 100,000-strong army, and he felt a sense of shock and absurdity in his heart.

"Brother Yue Jing, I still underestimated Ruoyu's military talent!" Guo Pu withdrew his eyes from Chen Hong and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he has always trusted Lin Haoran and fully affirmed Lin Haoran's military talent, it can be said that Lin Haoran is in charge of Juyongguan this time.

But he never thought that Lin Haoran would defeat An Da who came with hundreds of thousands of troops. He never thought that Lin Haoran could achieve such an amazing record. He was simply the well-deserved military god of the Ming Dynasty.

"Master Lin Ge is really a god descending to earth!"

The officials in the palace woke up from the initial shock. Although they were very excited, they were also quite surprised by Lin Haoran's feat.

Over the years, Ming Dynasty's success in defense has always meant victory. Even if the Mongolian cavalry entered the pass, they would still be cracked in the city, let alone fight outside the pass.

However, Lin Haoran saw the opportunity and took the initiative to attack. While they were still arguing about war or peace in the Jinluan Palace, Lin Haoran had already beaten Anda back to the prairie with the force of thunder, which also demonstrated the national prestige of China.

Of course, there are many "fan brothers" of Lin Haoran in the court today. Not to mention Meng Zhao, Wang Shiju and Chen Jingbang and other disciples, like Yang Futian, Ning Jiang and others all take this for granted.

Just like this, facing this sudden eight-hundred-mile emergency, while everyone was excited, they also admired Lin Haoran's military talent.

Zhao Zhenji is a proud and arrogant person. Faced with such a slap in the face, he immediately questioned: "How could such a thing happen? Could it be Mr. Lin Ge who lied about the military situation!"

ah?

When the officials in the palace heard Zhao Zhenji's argument, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Zhao Zhenji in shock.

Not to mention that Lin Haoran's character has always been trustworthy, the phenomenon of lying about military achievements does exist, but the higher the status, the less likely he is to engage in such a little trick that can be easily exposed.

Nowadays, Lin Haoran is an out-and-out cabinet minister, and he is also the highly valued Minister of the Ministry of War. A person with such status and status is even less likely to make such a low-level mistake.

But now, the Nanjing Minister of Rites actually questioned Lin Haoran for lying about the military situation, and questioned the dynasty's most powerful cabinet minister for lying. However, we don't know whether it was Lin Haoran who was bold or the Nanjing Minister of Rites was delusional.

"Is this pig teammate?"

When the Minister of Dali Temple heard Zhao Zhenji's open questioning, he was not at all happy in his heart. Instead, he turned to look at Zhao Jizhen, who looked upright, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Sir Zhao, Mr. Lin Ge is a scholar of Wenhua Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of War. How can we allow such doubts?"

"Zhao Shangshu, I wonder if you are saying that this military achievement is impossible, or do you really think that our Ming army has no battle to retaliate against the Tatars?"

"Mr. Zhao, are your hearts for the Ming Dynasty or for the Tatars? You actually said such stupid things in front of the emperor!"

…

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Heng and other senior officials stood up one after another, but they did not expect that the highly respected Zhao Jizhen was a sanctimonious hypocrite, so they looked very angry and asked.

Just now I wanted to hold back, but now I am still questioning it.

Not only was the finger pointed at Lin Haoran, who had done the most great work, but his intentions were obviously evil. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty's frontier army was not normal after a complete defeat, and that China should be bullied by the Tatars. This Nanjing Minister of Rites was simply like a lackey of the Tatars.

Just like this, Zhao Zhenji's move was like lighting a powder keg, and more than half of the senior officials pointed their fingers at Zhao Jizhen, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.

this……

Zhang Juzheng also turned his head and glanced at Zhao Zhenji, his eyes full of complex colors.

Although he and Lin Haoran were in completely different positions, he still hoped in his heart that Lin Haoran could lead the border troops to defend Juyong Pass, and he even hoped that Lin Haoran could repel the Tatars.

But I never thought that the highly respected Nanjing Minister of Rites didn't seem to think so, and actually questioned this good news that was bought with the blood of soldiers.

If he had a choice, he would rather draw a clear line with the respected Minister of Rites of Nanjing than form an alliance with such a person.

"Zhao Shangshu, I don't know what evidence you have to question Shangguan like this. Could it be that you have accepted benefits from the Tatars?" Chen Yiqin also held back his anger and asked sternly.

Although he and Zhao Zhenji were from the same hometown, and the two had a personal relationship, they chose to stand firm in the face of major issues of right and wrong and principles.

Huh?

The neutral officials in the palace saw that Chen Yiqin no longer cared about the friendship of his fellow villagers and openly questioned Zhao Zhenji, knowing that this incident really angered Mr. Chen Ge, who had always been low-key.

But it's not surprising that Chen Yiqin was so angry. A small Nanjing Minister of Rites who came from Nanjing just took the initiative to stir up factional disputes. He even openly questioned Lin Ge for lying about his military merits. This was simply challenging the bottom line of Lin Ge's party members.

Zhao Zhenji did not expect that "junior" Chen Yiqin would treat him in this way, but he had his own arrogance in his heart. He said with a sullen face: "Mr. Chen Ge, although I have no evidence in my hand, this matter is really unbelievable. Please ask me

I can’t believe it!”

this……

When the officials in the palace heard this argument, they saw that Zhao Zhenji was obviously trying to rely on his old age and sell off his old age, but they couldn't help but feel a headache secretly.

According to common sense, a dignified cabinet minister would not make the simple mistake of lying about military achievements. However, the imperial court wanted to confirm this matter, so it went to Juyongguan to verify, and this undoubtedly took some time.

It was obviously a great happy event, but Zhao Jizhen questioned it so much that many officials suddenly lost their excitement and looked at the Minister of Rites of Nanjing who was looking for trouble with complicated eyes.

"Haha... It's really a joke. What does it have to do with the imperial court whether you believe it or not?" Guo Pu said coldly, and then he seriously raised his hands to Long Qing and said: "Today, the three armies have used their lives to kill more than 10,000 enemy heads.

I ordered the leader of the thieves to throw down the remaining troops and flee back to the desert. Please give me an order to reward the three armies!"

Huh?

The eyes of Zhu Heng and other officials couldn't help but light up, and they realized that they didn't need to pay attention to the Minister of Rites of Nanjing who was relying on his elders. Instead, they turned to Long Qing who was sitting on the dragon throne and asked for orders: "Please give an order to reward the three armies!"

Snap! Snap!

Zhao Zhenji was originally a little complacent, but Guo Pu's words made him feel as if he had been slapped in the face, and the officials who followed him to ask for orders made his face feel a pain.

In particular, he discovered that not only officials from Lin Haoran's side were petitioning for help, but even officials from the Xu Party were also in agreement, and he suddenly realized that he was the clown.

"Please, Your Majesty, issue an order to reward the three armies!" Xu Jie glanced at Zhao Zhenji complicatedly, and then he raised his hands and petitioned.

Although he and Lin Haoran are incompatible with each other, and he hopes that Lin Haoran will be held accountable for losing Juyongguan, and even hopes that Lin Haoran will die directly at Juyongguan, he will not question the authenticity of this good news.

Not to mention that he didn't believe that Lin Haoran, who was fighting to the death with him, would make such a low-level mistake. With Lin Haoran's scheming to force himself to the cliff, it was not unimaginable to inflict heavy losses on those Tatars.

Just like this, he ignored the smart-aleck Zhao Zhenji, but chose to maintain the dignity of his chief minister and follow the petition.

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to reward the three armies!" Zhang Juzheng and other Xu party officials saw Xu Jie standing up to express his position, and they also stood up and responded one after another.

For a time, the Jinluan Hall of Nuo University was full of petitions from officials. Everyone chose to ignore Zhao Zhenji's doubts, but chose to believe Lin Haoran unconditionally.

this……

Zhao Zhenji no longer cared about dignity, and when he saw that all the officials in the court did not look at him, and he was already like an island in the ocean, he suddenly panicked.

Since setting off for Beijing, he has made a long-cherished wish to "stay in Beijing". Although he knew that the situation in the court was complicated, he believed that with his personal relationship with Xu Jie, Guo Pu and Chen Yiqin, it would not be difficult to stay in Beijing.

He may even become a trendsetter in the court.

But who would have thought that just now he took the initiative to intervene in the struggle in the court, but now he was slapped hard and resoundingly, and even stumbled hard.

Given the current situation, even if I don't say that I want to stay in the capital and seek to join the cabinet, I am afraid that my position as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing may not be secure.

Naturally, Long Qing would not believe that Lin Haoran would lie about the military situation, so he pretended to be a good person and said: "It's accurate! The cabinet will discuss this matter and give me a plan!"

"I obey the order!" Xu Jie and other four pavilion elders said as if they were following the order.

There is actually a small problem hidden here. Faced with such military exploits, the imperial court naturally wanted to reward the three armies, but the Ming Dynasty's finances continued to be tight.

But no matter what, Ming Dynasty achieved an unprecedented victory, and many officials saw that Ming Dynasty was steadily moving towards prosperity and power.

The next morning, Lin Haoran led his troops back from Juyongguan and soon returned to the boundary of Shuntian Prefecture.

When the people of Shuntian Prefecture learned that Lin Haoran had won a great victory, they immediately prepared incense tables, wine and food along the way and respectfully invited the passing soldiers to enjoy them.

"The common people pay homage to the Prime Minister and wish him good health!"

Although Lin Haoran had been hiding in the carriage, the people along the way also knelt down in front of the carriage. The crowd around them undulated like waves, grateful to Mr. Lin Ge who had brought them peace and glory.

Shihuashan, Ma Fang and Qi Jiguang returned together. They made great achievements in this battle, so they were recalled by the court for awards.

The three of them sat on horseback and looked at the respectful people along the way and their sincere gratitude. While silently accepting this unprecedented honor, they also felt the public opinion that Lin Haoran had.

But the three of them knew in their hearts that Lin Haoran deserved all this. Not only did Lin Haoran bring stability to the people of Ming Dynasty, but he also brought benefits to the people through various measures, especially the people of Shuntian who have now got rid of the additional tax.

troubles.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a python robe, was not affected by the outside world and was separated from the joy of victory. However, he knew that Anda had not been eliminated after all, so the stumbling block blocking the rise of China still existed.

It's just that you still have to put your energy back into the court. Xu Jie is now protected by Long Qing. I'm afraid he can't kick Xu Jie out of the court directly yet.

Of course, his current reputation has reached a higher level. Even if he cannot kick Xu Jie out of the court immediately, he cannot continue to keep Xu Jie in the position of chief assistant forever and threaten himself.

That's why, along the way, he was thinking more about how to get rid of Xu Jie, how to get rid of this cancer in China, and how to bring this great nation to the top of the world.

As Lin Haoran's team entered the city of Beijing, countless people and scholars came from all directions to welcome the prime minister who had brought glory to China.

In fact, not only did the capital support Lin Haoran, but the news that Lin Haoran commanded the three armies to inflict heavy losses on Anda's 100,000 cavalry had spread from Beijing to the two capitals and thirty provinces, and even to the vassal countries of Korea, Ryukyu, Luzon, and Siam.

Perhaps there was no Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but many people knew that the Ming Dynasty had already produced a talented man who was capable of both literary and martial arts, and a virtuous prime minister who could lead China to prosperity.

March was a turbulent month, but with Lin Haoran's wonderful battle at the fortress, not only did An Da escape in panic, but he also slapped Xu Dang hard in the face, and everything quietly returned to peace.
