After confirming Xu Qingyan's appearance, Zhang Daozhen immediately rushed to Liang Fuchen to report the news.
After hearing the report, Liang Fuchen's expression was neither surprised nor angry, but he looked stern and said slowly: "Oh? So, Zhao Junchen was indeed the mastermind behind my kidnapping by the horse bandits.
?”
Zhang Daozhen has followed Liang Fuchen for many years and knows Liang Fuchen's character best. He knows that Liang Fuchen's behavior means that he has made up his mind.
Therefore, Zhang Daozhen's expression was extremely solemn and he replied: "That's right! Mr. Liang Ge, do you think we should immediately summon all the officials of Huamachi Camp to expose Zhao Junchen's evil deeds in public?"
Liang Fuchen shook his head and sneered: "No, we have to wait until the minister who delivers the order arrives at Huamachi Camp before we take action! ... If we take action now to expose his crime, it will leave him with the opportunity to defend himself and get away with it.
But if he waits until the minister conveys the imperial edict before taking action, he will surely die!"
Zhang Daozhen is also a smart man. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly understood what Liang Fuchen meant.
After this matter was confirmed, Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen had become mortal enemies, and there was no possibility of easing their relationship.
With Liang Fuchen's strong character, in such a situation, he would definitely use thunderous means to complete his victory in one battle and completely plunge Zhao Junchen to death without leaving him any chance!
But if Zhao Junchen's crime is exposed in public now, Zhao Junchen will be embarrassed and his reputation will be ruined, but it will also leave Zhao Junchen a certain buffer time!
Before the messenger arrived at Huamachi Camp, Zhao Junchen still had a chance to erase the evidence and clear his name, which might give him a chance to make a comeback.
What's more, if Zhao Junchen's crime is exposed now, when the minister arrives at Huamachi Camp, he finds that Zhao Junchen has committed a serious crime and is a victim of crime. In order to maintain the dignity of the court, he will not
Announced in public the imperial court's decree to reward Zhao Junchen.
This also means that Zhao Junchen will be in a state of "unrewarded for his great achievements", and from now on there will be the possibility of balancing the merits and demerits and saving a life.
On the contrary, if the minister who conveyed the edict waited until the edict arrived at Huamachi Camp and read out the edict, and then suddenly exposed Zhao Junchen's various crimes, according to the content of Emperor Deqing's edict, Zhao Junchen must return immediately after receiving the edict.
Beijing, so Zhao Junchen lost the time and opportunity to do something secretly and reverse the situation!
At the same time, after the minister of the edict read out the imperial edict of award, Zhao Junchen's illustrious military exploits had been rewarded. After his crimes were reported to the center of the imperial court, he naturally lost the opportunity to balance his merits and demerits.
The most important thing is that the imperial court had just rewarded Zhao Junchen heavily, and the next moment it was revealed that Zhao Junchen had secretly ordered horse bandits to kidnap the current court elder. Such a situation would definitely make Emperor Deqing angry!
With Emperor Deqing's character, he would never leave Zhao Junchen any chance to defend himself. He would definitely be punished with an extra level of punishment!
At that time, Zhao Junchen was in a desperate situation and had no power to resist anymore!
After thinking about this, Zhang Daozhen's face was full of admiration, and he sincerely praised: "Mr. Liang Ge is so thoughtful that students can't even compare!"
Liang Fuchen did not praise Zhang Daozhen rationally, but asked: "Have you received any news about the current whereabouts of Zuo Lanshan, the minister who conveyed the order?"
Zhang Daozhen replied: "The student just received the news today that after Zuo Lanshan entered the territory of Xi'an Prefecture, he suddenly declared that he was ill and said that he would rest in Xi'an Prefecture for three days... estimate the time,
He will arrive at Huamachi Camp in three or four days."
Liang Fuchen sneered again: "Zuo Lanshan is Zhao Junchen's confidant. He delayed time many times along the way just to get more benefits for Zhao Junchen. He wanted to wait until the grassland war officially started before allowing Zhao Junchen to return to the capital...
...Hehe, although this wishful thinking is good, after I expose Zhao Junchen's crime in public, all his hard work will be in vain!"
After speaking, Liang Fuchen's expression became more serious, and he warned Zhang Daozhen: "In this case, when Zuo Lanshan arrives at Huamachi Camp, that is when we take action! Within the next three or four days,
You must personally teach Wang Mao and make him understand how he should testify when the time comes. You must not allow Zhao Junchen any chance to defend himself... At the same time, you must also be careful.
Eyeliners must not let them discover Wang Mao’s existence!”
After hearing Liang Fuchen's instructions, Zhang Daozhen quickly bowed and accepted the order: "Student, obey the order! He will definitely teach Wang Mao seriously, and will also carefully hide his whereabouts, and never let anyone discover his existence!"
Liang Fuchen nodded with satisfaction and waved Zhang Daozhen to leave.
After Zhang Daozhen left the room, Liang Fuchen pondered alone for a long time, repeatedly considering his plan, but felt that it was foolproof.
Finally, Liang Fuchen murmured to himself with a stern expression: "It's my fault that I was blind. I actually thought Zhao Junchen was a useful talent and even took the initiative to cooperate with him many times... But now I have discovered the true face of his wolfish ambition.
It's not too late!...Zhao Junchen, when I returned to Huamachi Camp, I told you that I have always repaid kindness and revenge! The humiliation of being kidnapped and imprisoned by horse bandits is now also
It’s time to make you pay the price!”

According to the agreement between Zhao Junchen and Bagan, Huamachi Camp will send a large army to attack Hetao on the third day after Bogen takes away the food and grass.
In fact, neither Zhao Junchen nor Liang Fuchen wanted to renege on their promise.
Therefore, in the next few days, all officials in Huamachi camp were busy non-stop, and the entire Shaanxi and Gansu provinces were deploying troops and generals with frequent actions.
While busy with military affairs, because of Liang Fuchen's deliberate forbearance and Zhao Junchen's active cooperation, although the two had their own agendas, they could be considered to have a tacit understanding of cooperation.
During this period, Wang Ying also arrived at Huamachi Camp in time, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This attention is not only due to his great contribution, but also because he brought back first-hand information about the Hetao Plain and Ordos tribes.
Based on the intelligence reported by Wang Ying, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen also slightly adjusted their deployment and plan for the expedition to the grassland.
Soon, it was time to set out for the Hetao expedition.
At midnight on that day, following Liang Fuchen's order, the various armies in Shaanxi and Gansu launched a fierce offensive toward the Hetao map. They were divided into three armies and unexpectedly attacked the Hetao area.
Among them, the left army is led by General Fang Zhenshan, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan, and He Zhang is the deputy general. It combines 30,000 soldiers and horses from Guyuan Military Town and Ningxia Military Town; the army in the middle route is led by Guan Wuyuan, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and Lin Huishi, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Military Town.
The deputy general, combined with the reinforcements of the Forbidden Army, the Ningxia military town, and the 58,000 soldiers and horses of the National Guard Army; the right army was led by Gansu General Jin Huyuan, and Yulin General Wang Yan was the deputy general, combined with the Gansu military town and
The 33,000 soldiers and horses in the Yulin military formation.
These three armies dispatched a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses, and all the main forces in the three borders of Shaanxi and Gansu were involved. Such a large move was enough to show the determination of Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen!
The Ming army officers and soldiers have all received the news and understand that the main force of the Ordos tribe has been mobilized away from the mountains. This is a great opportunity for them to compete for military glory!
As a result, all officers and soldiers gave full play to their good qualities of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and greedy for merit and aggressive advancement. Everyone was active and scrambling to be the first.
In this way, the initial development of the war can be said to be extremely smooth.
By noon of the next day, Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen had received several good news. The three armies all pushed the battle line deep into the grassland, broke through several Ordos tribe camps, and plundered all of them.
A large number of Ordos people, as well as various livestock and supplies.
Seeing that the war was progressing smoothly, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen were happy, but they did not dare to neglect, for fear that something might happen to the good situation, so they both sat in the Governor's Mansion and did not dare to leave, waiting anxiously.
The latest battle report from the front line.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of this day, just after Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen once again received a good news from the army in the middle, before they could express their joy, they saw Zheng Zheng, the acting commander-in-chief of the Huamachi Camp.
Yu hurriedly entered the lobby of the Governor's Mansion and reported quickly: "For the two imperial envoys, Lao Zuo of the Cabinet Cabinet has arrived outside the east gate of Huamachi Camp with His Majesty's imperial edict, and is now waiting for the two imperial envoys.
Your Excellency, go and greet the imperial edict in person!"
After hearing Zheng Yu's report, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen subconsciously looked at each other first, but found that the other person was also looking at them. Both of their expressions did not change, as if they had expected it, but their eyes
All are shining with light.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was a little subtle!
Liang Fuchen smiled half-heartedly and congratulated Zhao Junchen: "Based on the time, this imperial edict should be for the purpose of rewarding Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao has the illustrious military exploits of annihilating the Mongolian coalition forces. This reward must be a great blessing.
I would like to congratulate Mr. Zhao in advance!"
As Liang Fuchen finished speaking, the officials in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion also rushed to express their congratulations.
Zhao Junchen also had a half-smiling expression. He bowed his hands to Liang Fuchen and said in return: "Liang Ge, you are so polite! I will have to ask you for more advice in the future!"
After some polite greetings, both of them smiled, left the main hall of the Governor's Mansion side by side, and led the officials to the east gate of Huamachi Camp to greet the imperial edict.
When they arrived at the east gate, they found that Zuo Lanshan had been waiting there for a long time.
This time it was to issue an imperial decree to Zhao Junchen, so Zuo Lanshan did not show any signs of impatience while waiting.
After seeing Zhao Junchen appear, Zuo Lanshan first nodded with an affectionate expression, then took out a bright yellow imperial edict from the wooden plate beside him and said loudly: "Zhao Junchen accepts the edict!"
As Zuo Lanshan finished speaking, Zhao Junchen quickly took two steps forward, then knelt down and bowed his head, quietly waiting for Zuo Lanshan to read out the content of the imperial edict.
Behind Zhao Junchen, including Liang Fuchen, all officials also knelt down.
This was Zhao Junchen's glorious and most glorious moment, so Zuo Lanshan also looked happy when he read out the imperial edict.
I saw Zuo Lanshan take a deep breath, and read out melodiously at the highest volume:
"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor said: I govern the world with literature and fight chaos with force! Zhao Junchen has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, annihilated the Tatar enemies, preserved one side, and stabilized the country. I highly commend him! He should be the mainstay of the temple and the imperial court. Qiancheng! Considering that Zhao Junchen has been in charge of the household department for many years, he has also achieved remarkable results and achieved many political achievements. He is said to be both civil and military. Wouldn't he be commended and favored by his life?
Zhao Junchen is hereby conferred the title of Young Master of the current dynasty and a bachelor of the East Pavilion. He is admitted to the Wenhua Pavilion to assist in government affairs, and is ennobled as the Immortal Xin Chengbo. He is given a salary of 800, and is also given a jade plaque, ten pearls, and three gold and silver coins. thousand!
After receiving the order, Zhao Junchen should return to the capital immediately without further delay! I appreciate this!"
As Zuo Lanshan finished reading out the decree, Zhao Junchen immediately replied loudly: "Senior, Zhao Junchen accepted the decree to thank you!"
After the process was over, Zuo Lanshan handed the imperial edict to Zhao Junchen. Zhao Junchen slowly stood up after receiving the edict.
Then, with a smile on his face, Zuo Lanshan congratulated Zhao Junchen and said: "From now on, Mr. Zhao will not only become an assistant minister of the cabinet, but also a distinguished noble of the dynasty. This is among the hundreds of officials in the dynasty." It’s a unique honor. Zuo is here to congratulate Mr. Zhao!”
Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded. Although he had known the content of the imperial edict in advance, he still couldn't hide his joy after actually receiving the edict.
After working as a chess piece for such a long time, I finally have the qualifications to become a chess player. All the risks and hardships these days have been worth it.
But Zhao Junchen's expression was one of unfazed by favor and humiliation, and he returned the favor and said: "For me to have the glory I have today, Mr. Zuo Ge must have worked hard, and I will be rewarded in the future!"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's promise and hint, Zuo Lanshan felt relieved immediately. He had been waiting for Zhao Junchen's words.
However, before Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan could say a few more words, all the officials from Huamachi camp rushed to Zhao Junchen's side, rushing to express their congratulations to Zhao Junchen, for fear that they would be left behind. One less word.
For a moment, Zhao Junchen's ears were filled with flattering words.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao! Congratulations to Mr. Zhao!"
"Haha, from now on, I should call you Mr. Zhao Ge!"
"Master Zhao is so young that it seems a little inappropriate to add the word 'old' in his title. It would be more appropriate to call him Lord Zhao!"
"Old Zhaoge has a great family of saints. I once served under your command, and now I am honored to do so! I hope that after Mr. Zhaoge returns to the capital, he will never forget that you had a pawn like Beizhi under your command! "
"It will be a lifetime honor for me to serve under Mr. Zhao!"
Just like what Zuo Lanshan said, Zhao Junchen has the status of both a noble and a pavilion elder. This is the only honor among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. From now on, his reputation will definitely increase, and all officials will naturally be I can’t wait to get closer to Zhao Junchen.
As the officials spoke, they became more explicit. Some officials could not help but express their intention to surrender on the spot, and Zhao Junchen was overwhelmed.
While all the officials expressed their congratulations to Zhao Junchen, Liang Fuchen just stood aside in silence, quietly watching Zhao Junchen steal the show, but there seemed to be a sneer on his lips.
After a full quarter of an hour, the officials' flattery and congratulations finally came to an end.
Then, the officials followed the three cabinet ministers Zhao Junchen, Liang Fuchen, and Zuo Lanshan back to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
After everyone sat down, Zuo Lanshan planned to speak first and ask about the current situation of the grassland war.
Then, before Zuo Lanshan could speak, Liang Fuchen, who had been silent for a long time, spoke first.
He suddenly stood up, looked at Zhao Junchen deeply, and said loudly: "Master Zhao, I have something here, and I want to take this opportunity to ask you for an explanation!"
