Chapter 809: I congratulate you, the Holy One, and the great man!
Ningguo Mansion
In the afternoon, the sky is clear and the sun shines brightly in the courtyard. The evergreen pines and cypresses sway in the wind, making the greenery eye-catching.
As Jia Heng was socializing with a group of Jiangnan officials, Yuan Chun had already led Tan Chun, Xiang Yun, Zhen Lan, and Zhen Xi back to Ningguo Mansion. Chai Dai and Bao Qin on the other side also returned to the mansion.
Just after lunch, a group of orioles were sitting in the hall chatting, laughing and chatting happily.
Qing Xue Lan Xi, Wen Qi Yuan Tan and Chai Dai Yun Qin were sitting in the hall, talking and playing chess.
Xiangyun smiled and said: "When Brother Heng comes back, let him tell us the story of the war."
"Sister Yun is still thinking about the war." Baochai chuckled and said with amusement in his moist apricot eyes.
Xiangyun said softly: "I have never seen a war since I was so old. I usually see a lot of it when I look at Brother Heng's Three Kingdoms novels. I don't know if it is any different from those."
The two sisters Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were also talking in low voices.
At this moment, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue also found excuses to come over and were talking to little Lolita Shui Xin, while Youshi was by the side.
Shui Xin said in a soft voice: "Auntie, mother, is it time for godfather to come back?"
"I'll be back in a while." Zhen Xue put her arms around Shui Xin, with a clear and peaceful smile on her white and jade face.
At this moment, a nun who usually served Dai Yu said with joy on her face: "Miss Lin, Uncle Heng is back."
Everyone in the hall had different emotions after hearing this, but they all stood up and walked towards the threshold. They saw a young man wearing a python suit walking along the corridor.
"Brother Heng." Xiangyun was young and had a sweet and innocent nature. He called with a chuckle and rushed towards Jia Heng.
"Godfather." Shui Xin looked around in Zhen Xue's arms. When he saw the man, he quickly broke away from his mother's arms and ran towards Jia Heng.
Jia Heng looked at the two people, or at the people who had left the front hall and were standing under the eaves, and his expression was a little dazed for a moment.
Eight words can't help but spring up in my mind: "A hundred flowers are in full bloom, competing for beauty."
"Godfather, are you back?" Shui Xin ran over and shouted.
"Hey." Jia Heng came forward and picked up Shui Xin, letting the little Loli hug his neck, kissing her cheeks, turning his eyes to Xiang Yun who was holding his arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, you two, don't be so rash.
If you lose, you will fall down again.”
At this moment, the top-notch sitting python robe has not yet been taken off, and the sword is still hanging on the waist. She is very heroic, but she is holding a pink jade in one hand and smiling sweetly. In the eyes of everyone, that person is
His majestic and serious temperament is undoubtedly much less.
Under Baochai's eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were looking at the young man almost intently, feeling that the perseverance and the faint smile on the clear face seemed to contain an intoxicating aura.
Under Tao Dao's gaze, Jia Heng carried Shui Xin into the hall and asked Shui Xin, "Xin Xin is getting heavier and has grown taller, so she can't hold her anymore."
"No way." Shui Xin's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he put his arms around Jia Heng's neck, with a smile on Fen Dudu's little face.
Zhen Xue watched that scene quietly, feeling that the smile at the corner of her mouth could not be restrained from rising. The beautiful eyes under Liu Ye's thin eyebrows were as bright as water, and she was a little distracted for a moment.
She also had some thoughts...
Well, this is not the time to think wildly. I quickly dispersed all the distracting thoughts in my mind.
Zhen Qing's clear and narrow phoenix eyes smiled slightly, her cold and charming face, her white and snowy cheeks were flushed with blush, her voice was filled with an indescribable softness and charm, and she said: "Brother Heng, my second uncle
Are you back with your fourth uncle?"
Because of Zhen Xi's relationship, and the fact that Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu went to Haimen with Jia Heng to fight the bandits, although everyone felt that the two seemed to be somewhat close, they did not believe it.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, his eyes calm and calm. At least outsiders couldn't see any clues. He said, "I'm back."
With that said, he sat down with Shui Xin in his arms, looked at Chu Princess Zhen Qing, and said in a solemn voice: "The two Zhen Shibos took the lead this time, fought bravely and gained a lot."
When Zhen Qing heard this, she felt slightly happy and said with emotion: "Brother Heng, this battle is really not easy. Many people in the city have been paying attention these days, and the government is worried. Today we finally won the battle."
Tan Chun's pretty face smiled lightly, looked at Jia Heng with radiant eyes, and took over the conversation and said: "Brother Heng, there are all kinds of rumors in Jinling City these days, and I heard that there are many impeachment memorials delivered to Beijing.
inside."
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "The southern country has experienced wars for a long time. It is inevitable that people's hearts will change when we encounter a war for the first time."
Yuanchun looked at the young man chatting in front of the sisters, his beautiful eyes were as soft as water, and the pride and sweetness in his heart seemed to fill the girl's body and mind.
This is the lover she is looking for.
Compared with all the girls who asked you and me curiously, the girl who was over 10 years old and had a beautiful appearance looked at the young man with a smile.
Baochai raised her eyes to look at the young man, her almond-shaped eyes filled with intense longing, almost wanting to speak but still giving up.
At some point it would end and she would ask him.
Daiyu looked at Jia Heng with sparkling eyes, holding her handkerchief, with a look of curiosity on her face.
Zhen Lan asked: "Brother Heng, I still haven't figured out how the army fought back the army led by Duduo."
The girl's voice was round and smooth, her face with chiseled lines was covered with makeup, and her bright eyes were looking at Jia Heng unwaveringly at this moment.
Zhen Qing frowned her beautiful eyebrows, glanced at Zhen Lan with her clear phoenix eyes, and whispered: "Third sister."
Zhen Lan said angrily, "I'm just curious."
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, smiled, indicated that it was okay, and explained: "The bandits have come from a long distance. Although they are powerful in numbers, they belong to many groups and their strength is difficult to unite. Moreover, the Jurchens are not fifty thousand, but three."
Ten thousand, the core main force is the North Korean Navy, which only has ten thousand people. It is not surprising that our army has the advantage of terrain and armor to defeat the enemy."
Zhen Lan listened, her eyes sparkling, and said: "Terrain, what are the advantages of armor?"
Jia Heng smiled, not wanting to talk in depth, and said: "This cannot be explained clearly in just a few words."
Zhen Lan wanted to ask again, but she felt her sleeves being pulled by Zhen Xi beside her, and immediately she met a pair of eyes as spiritual as a stream.
"Sister, it's forbidden to involve military secrets. Sister, don't ask further." Zhen Xi said softly.
Jia Heng looked at her with approval and said in a low voice: "Sister Xi'er is quite considerate."
You can’t just raise fish without feeding them.
This sentence made Zhen Xi blush, she quickly lowered her head, her eyebrows were lowered, and her hands were twisting the handkerchief. The fair-faced girl, Xia Fei, had cheeks like a little daughter-in-law who dared not meet people.
However, everyone knew that this was Jia Heng's concubine. Seeing the shy and timid scene of the girl, they secretly laughed in their hearts.
Zhen Lan pursed her pink lips, stared at the young man, held the handkerchief, and was confused.
What does this mean? Sister Xi'er is considerate, but she is not reasonable enough?
Jia Heng said: "Some of them are indeed confidential, let's wait until the time comes."
It’s hard to say much about the power and tactics of the Hongyi Cannon now. In the future, it will at least have some unexpected effects in the war against the Jurchens.
It's not that the Jurchens don't know the Hongyi cannon, but even if there are some misjudgments in the specific power parameters, it will still be an advantage for the big man.
Baoqin said softly: "Brother Heng also captured the Jurchen Prince Duduo alive? How could Duduo be so brave?"
Xiangyun asked: "Brother Heng, didn't Duduo escape from your hands once before?"
"This time on Chongming Sands, even if you want to run away, you can't run anywhere else." Jia Heng said clearly.
If you include the assassination in Huanhualou, it should have been twice, but now Duduo was finally caught.
When everyone heard this, their faces looked thoughtful.
Jia Heng said softly: "Prince Jurchen came here originally to mess with our Jiangnan, but now he is defeated in Jiangnan."
Xiangyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said softly: "Brother Heng won't be too busy in the future."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at the young man with curiosity.
Jia Heng said softly: "I have a lot of leisure time recently, and I just happened to be taking Sister Yun around Jiangnan."
When Xiangyun heard this, his apple-shaped face as red as the clouds was filled with joy, and he said, "Brother Heng, you must keep your word."
It actually made a few people laugh softly.
Jia Heng nodded, smiled and said, "I'm free these days,"
While chatting casually with a few girls, Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, who was looking at him with a smile, and said: "When I was in Yangzhou, I met Uncle Lin and asked Sister Lin to walk more in Jinling City."
When Daiyu heard this, she said softly: "As long as it doesn't delay Brother Heng's official business."
At this moment, Baochai listened quietly and raised her eyes to look at the young man with warm eyes. Her thoughts were a little complicated. Didn't Brother Heng want to talk to her now?
When Jia Heng came back to Jinling from the Guangdong Sea, he stopped looking for the treasure hairpin and talked about it.
Jia Heng stared at Baochai, with a somewhat inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and said: "Sister Xue, sister Baoqin has just arrived in Jinling, please spend more time with her."
When Baochai heard this, the disappointment deep in her heart completely disappeared. She chuckled and said, "Brother Heng, Baoqin grew up in Jinling and is much more familiar with every plant and tree in Jinling than I am."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "When I have some free time in these two days, let Sister Baoqin be my guide."
Well, this is simply more energy-consuming than fighting Dodo for five rounds. He has to talk to Daiyu, but also takes into account Baochai's feelings, and can't neglect other people.
It was Yuan Chun who saw the tired look on Jia Heng's face and said softly: "Brother Heng, you have just come back. You should go take a shower and change clothes first. This journey has been full of dust."
After Yuan Chun finished speaking, Zhen Qing also reacted, smiled and said: "Brother Heng, don't just talk, go back and take a shower and have a good rest."
Daiyu looked concerned and said softly: "Brother Heng is very tired. Let's go back and rest first."
Jia Heng nodded, put Shui Xin down, looked at Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, and said, "Then I'll go over first."
With that said, with everyone looking at each other, he stood up and left the backyard hall. At this time, Qingwen was waiting under the eaves of the corridor, staring at the face that he thought about day and night.
"Son."
The girl is wearing a green dress. She has a slender figure and the colors are becoming more and more beautiful. The aura of the blooming flower core is silently flowing out from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
Jia Heng came closer, smiled and rubbed the air bangs in front of the girl's forehead, and asked: "Well, what's wrong?"
Qingwen pursed her lips and said softly: "It's nothing. Just now, there were a lot of people in the room asking the young master, and I couldn't even get a word in."
Jia Heng looked at the pretty girl, smiled and said, "Well, let's go and wait for me to take a shower and change clothes."
In fact, he got along with Qingwen quite a lot because he always had to take a shower every two days.
Sometimes, people who don’t write or write are the most popular. Who would write about what they had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day?
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Ke Qing in Beijing.
When Qingwen heard this, a smile appeared on her pretty face again, she hummed softly, and followed Jia Heng to the side room.
No matter how many people were around him, she was the only one who helped him take a bath.
Jia Heng followed Qingwen to the wing. After taking a bath, he immediately changed into autumn clothes and returned to the hall.
On the other side, everyone in the hall was happily discussing the war.
Zhen Qing looked at the young man not far away who was dressed in casual clothes and looked as heroic as ever. There was a hint of heat in his watery eyes.
At this moment, Daiyu also stopped talking, and she and Baochai also looked at the young man in the straight green shirt, with joy in their eyes.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Tell me some things about the two uncles and the two princesses."
After saying that, he looked at Zhen Xi like last time and said, "Sister Xi'er, come and listen too."
Zhen Xi's cheeks were hot, Yingying stood up and said in a slightly softer voice: "Brother Heng."
No matter how wild your imagination is, you will never think that the two princesses and a daughter of the Zhen family will have a charming love affair in the study. Moreover, the last time we talked about the Zhen family, Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu went to Tongzhou Wei the next day.
The Jiangnan camp in Hong Kong went to fight the enemy.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it is more confirmed that what is being discussed is the official business of the Zhenjia family.
Entering the back room of the study, Zhen Qing said softly: "Ziyu, you worked hard this time when you went out to fight."
While talking, he took Jia Heng's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked: "Did you get any injuries when you went out this time?"
"No injuries." Jia Heng said, taking Zhen Qing's slender hands that were untying her belt. They felt soft and tender, and said, "Don't make trouble, Xi'er is still here."
He didn't know why Zhen Qing was so addicted. This was clearly not her mistress's self-positioning, but that she regarded him as her man and needed to pay him regular wages.
Zhen Xi's little palm-sized face was flushed as red as the clouds, her bright eyes showed shame, and she said in a soft voice: "Brother Heng, you guys speak first, I'm standing at the door to watch the wind."
With that said, he turned around and ran out of the wing, went to the outer hall, and really helped look after the wind.
Jia Heng took Zhen Qing's hand, came to the bed, sat down, and left Zhen Qing busy.
Zhen Qing's face was as bright as fire, her cheeks were sometimes bulging and sometimes sunken, and under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows, her narrow and beautiful eyes were charming, and her voice was unclear as she said: "Ziyu, I won't be able to come here for a few more days."
Jia Heng gently lifted a strand of hair by Zhen Qing's ear, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Zhen Xue, who was neither walking nor staying in place, and said softly: "Xue'er, come here."
Zhen Xue's delicate body trembled slightly, but her feet seemed to be uncontrollable. She walked closer and said, "Ziyu."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hug Zhen Xue into his arms, looked at Zhen Qing who had her head lowered, and said, "I'm talking to Xue'er."
Zhen Qing: "???"
No, she is making a wedding dress for her sister?
Jia Heng said: "Last time when I came back, the war was in a hurry. I was just messing around with you and didn't even talk to Xue'er for a while. You don't need to worry about us. You are busy with your business."
Zhen Qing: "..."
This bastard!
When Zhen Xue heard this, her beautiful face flushed, and her heart was filled with sweetness. Her eyes reflected Jia Heng's profile and said, "Ziyu, you just came back from the battlefield, so don't overwork yourself."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Xue'er is right, then you go watch the wind."
Zhen Xue: "..."
Is this what she means? Why is this person so unreasonable?
Suddenly he turned his eyes and saw his sister who was smiling but not smiling. She realized that she was making fun of herself. She hit Jia Heng on the chest with a pink fist and said angrily: "You know how to make fun of others."
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Xue and whispered in the beauty's ear: "Xue'er, I miss you."
Just one sentence made Zhen Xue's delicate body soften half way. She raised her gentle eyebrows and looked at Jia Heng and said, "Ziyu, eh~"
As the warm breath hit her nostrils, Zhen Xue's eyelashes trembled, and she gently closed her beautiful eyes, letting the young man grow thin.
Jia Heng piled up a beautiful snowman and said in a low voice: "Finally everything is ready for this trip south, let's go back to Beijing, hiss..."
Except for the last few things, he was almost ready to return to the capital. But before that, he had to go to see Li Shouzhong, the former imperial minister. He was busy and talked about going to see him, but he was delaying it all.
A few days.
If Fuqi can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs is still short of people. As for the two ministers of the Ministry of War, most of them will have to transfer people from Beijing.
"Yeah." Zhen Xue said with a blushing face and a slightly trembling voice.
After a long time, Jia Heng hugged Zhen Xue, who had rosy cheeks and was extremely soft, and whispered: "Xue'er, you clean up, and I'll talk to your sister."
Zhen Qing put her arm around Jia Heng's waist, lowered the millstone, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, let out a grunt from her nose, and asked in surprise: "Ziyu, how did the second uncle and fourth uncle perform in the war this time?"
"The merits achieved this time are not enough for the emperor to be open to the Zhen family. You should have expected it." Jia Heng looked into Zhen Qing's eyes and gently rubbed Zhen Qing's face and Mopan's skin.
It's getting better.
Zhen Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, I know, it's just that I can be a little gentler when my hair falls in the future."
If he were replaced by the Zhen family, his current achievements would be about the same.
Jia Heng sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it."
Playing around with Zhen Xue and Zhen Qing, it was almost dusk. Another autumn rain fell outside the window at some point, bringing with it a slight chill. The windows blew and made a few rustling sounds. Suddenly,
, it is actually November of the fifteenth year of Chongming.
Jia Heng left the study feeling refreshed and went back to the wing to take a bath and wash away the dust. After thinking about it, he did not go looking for the treasure hairpin for a while.
Firstly, after having a hard time with Qingxue, he didn't have much thought to show off his rhetoric. Secondly, Daiyu was probably paying attention to his movements.
Could it be that when he went to Baochai to bite the golden lock, Daiyu also went to Baochai's house and said, "I'm not lucky enough to be here?"
As Yuanchun said, he might as well rest for a day today.
…
…
Shenjing, Daming Palace, Hanyuan Palace
It has been five or six days since Emperor Chongping last received sweet potatoes. The high yield of sweet potatoes some time ago caused heated discussions in the capital. Today Emperor Chongping convened a special court meeting to discuss the promotion of sweet potatoes in the arid northern provinces.
.
The cabinet, the six ministries, the nine ministers, the six departments, and the imperial censor were all listening to the holy teachings in the empty and solemn hall.
This time, Qin Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, went to work and said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to Yongningbo, sweet potato cultivation needs to be rotated for several years in order to restore soil fertility. Therefore, in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan, they have been abandoned over the years.
Sweet potatoes are grown on some land and in some barren lands. Sweet potatoes are used as a supplement to the staple food of the people to alleviate famine. In addition, the Ministry of Works will send field supervisors to Shandong, Hebei and other places to take charge of composting and retting."
Eating too much sweet potatoes will cause flatulence, and whole grains cannot be used as a staple food for a long time, but it is better than eating tree bark or Guanyin soil in a year of famine.
Jia Heng also provided his father-in-law with relevant ideas about agriculture. In the Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space, Xu Guangqi had already written "The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs".
Emperor Chongping pondered and said: "The cabinet issued a letter to Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other chief ministers to encourage local governments to promote the planting of sweet potatoes to overcome the drought."
As he said that, he looked at Yang Guochang and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will also change the tax collection in kind in the future. In the northern provinces, people are allowed to pay the government in kind such as sweet potatoes. At the same time, tax exemptions should be made as appropriate according to famines."
The current Chen-Han tax system is still based on the two-tax law, which is divided into two taxes in summer and autumn, mainly in kind and silver. The central government takes the bulk for national coordination, and the local governments keep a part for daily official expenses.
In some northern provinces with no harvests, sweet potatoes are harvested in kind to alleviate famines.
Yang Guochang handed over his hand.
After discussing the encouragement of sweet potato cultivation, Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, looked at Shi Jie, and asked: "Military Aircraft Department, have there been any military reports from Jinling recently?"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers all looked at the entire staff of the Military Aircraft Department with different thoughts.
Shi Jie, the Minister of War, said: "Back to your Majesty, the 600-mile express has not yet been delivered to the capital. Zhejiang's naval forces such as Dinghaiwei and Ningbowei have been severely defeated. Yongningbo has already sent troops to suppress it."
After saying that, he hesitated and added: "Your Majesty, the Zhen family sent a petition for war the day before yesterday, and they have followed Uncle Yongning to Haimen to meet the enemy."
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent and said lightly: "I already know about this matter. The Zhen family is commendable for their loyalty."
At this time, the officials below changed from normal and remained silent about the war in Jiangnan today, because as time passed, everyone also saw that Emperor Chongping trusted the young nobleman beyond words and could not move it beyond words.
And before Yong Ningbo goes on a business trip, it is best not to openly speak against him.
Now that the war is raging, it's time to watch the jokes of this couple.
If we are defeated... there will be great drama.
But not all officials were willing to remain silent. Zhou Ping, the censor of Zhejiang Dao, held the wat board in his hand and went out to say: "Your Majesty, Yong Ningbo sent troops too rashly this time. Without waiting for the troops to come, Fuzhou Navy came to support and went straight to meet the enemy in a hurry.
The matter is dangerous, and I thought that the Holy One had made a plan in advance."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said in a low voice: "I vaguely remember that the officials of the Six Ministries in Nanjing were still saying that Uncle Yongning had a large army and just sat back and watched the enemy invade the territory. There were quite a few echoes in the capital. Now Uncle Yongning leads the army.
To meet the enemy with troops is to dispatch troops rashly. Why are your words contradicting each other?"
During this period, in fact, it was mainly Nanjing officials who tried to impeach Jia Heng in Shangshu and avoided fighting. Officials from the Six Ministries in Beijing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, except for the last impeachment, rarely supported the impeachment and mostly chose to wait and see what happens.
Zhou Ping cupped his hands and said, "Nanjing officials were afraid that troops were approaching the city, so they urged troops to attack. Officials in the middle of the capital didn't know what was going on, so they went along with it, but Uncle Yongning was unable to investigate and was moved by their words."
Some of the older officials present looked at the censor who was holding his neck in defense, and sneered in their hearts. One of them thought of inviting him directly. It was a pity that the emperor favored Uncle Yong Ning and would not listen to such unfavorable advice.
Emperor Chongping's face was as cold as iron and he was silent.
At this time, Wang Shuirong of Beijing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Since Uncle Yongning has chosen to send troops to meet the enemy, he must have a comprehensive plan. How can he arbitrarily interrupt the military plane because of noise?"
At this time, Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, held an ivory wat tablet in his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if Yongningbo is defeated, troops from all provinces will come to help, and the old capital of Jinling will be safe and sound."
Emperor Chongping: "..."
Yan Ye cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to lead the troops from the capital camp southward."
As Jia Heng left Shenjing and went south to supervise the army, the Prince of Nan'an County had already begun to try to intervene in the Beijing camp. However, due to Emperor Chongping's trust in Jia Heng, he did not know where to start for a while. If Jia Heng was engaged in military affairs in Jiangnan
Unfavorable, Prince Nan'an undoubtedly got a chance.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent and said in a deep voice: "The outcome of the war is particularly known. Isn't Yan Qing's statement conclusive?"
However, Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye raised his head and said righteously: "Your Majesty, I am going south just in case. Jinling is my old capital of the Han Dynasty and attracts the attention of the world. The safety of the country cannot be ignored."
Seeing that the Prince of Nan'an County invited him again and again, Emperor Chongping looked calm and remained silent for a while.
If the prince of Nan'an County goes south, it will actually give the world a clear impression that he does not trust Yong Ningbo's ability to lead troops.
But a few days passed, and there was no news from Jiangnan. It was so quiet that people felt panicked.
Not only the imperial palace, but also the entire capital of the Han Dynasty were discussing the war in Jiangnan. The matter was discussed in the streets and alleys.
At this moment, civil servants such as Yang Guochang, Han Huang, Zhao Mo, etc. all remained silent and quietly watched the infighting of Wu Xun in the Military Aircraft Department.
While the atmosphere was at a stalemate, an eunuch wearing a red robe hurriedly ran up to the hall, out of breath, and said: "Your Majesty, this is Uncle Yongning's secret information and battle report."
Because Emperor Chongping was particularly worried about the war in the south of the Yangtze River these days, he asked Dai Quan to dispatch several internal guards to the General Administration Department, the Military Aircraft Department, Jinyi Mansion and other places where Jia Heng might send someone to deliver the memorial. It must be the first place.
It was time to learn about Jia Heng’s military report.
Emperor Chongping had a slightly surprised look on his face, but then he felt overjoyed and ordered Dai Quan: "Bring the memorial and the military report."
When the ministers in the palace heard this, their hearts moved slightly, and they secretly thought, military report? Is it a report of defeat? Otherwise, how could it happen so quickly?
In the past, which battle involving tens of thousands of troops didn't drag on for months?
Dai Quan took the memorial, bowed and came quickly, handing it over with both hands.
Emperor Chongping took the memorial and read it attentively. As time passed, the emperor's hand holding the military report trembled slightly. He read it again quickly, and finally fixed his eyes on the final summary of the results.
"In this battle, Prince Duduo was captured alive. The Korean navy surrendered countless people. The pirates were frightened and captured countless people."
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.
All the ministers in the palace were secretly watching the emperor's expression. Seeing this scene, their brows were furrowed and their hearts were filled with surprise and doubt.
what's the situation?
Could it be a big defeat? The emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
This won’t be like the time when Kaifeng fell and he fainted, right?
Thinking of this, Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he was ready to rush over at any moment if he saw that the Emperor's expression was not right.
When Kaifeng fell, he was inspecting the northwest border. It was his daughter Yiliu's wedding day, but he happened to encounter the fall of Kaifeng, and the wedding day was thrown into chaos.
Yang Guochang's heart skipped a beat, while Han Huang froze, rapidly assessing the impact of this matter.
If Yongningbo is defeated, will the Qi Party make a comeback?
However, just a moment later, Emperor Chongping could not suppress the smile on his face, and said with a hint of hearty laughter in his voice: "My lords, Lord Yongning led the troops to annihilate more than 30,000 pirates led by the Jurchen Prince Duduo, and captured them alive.
Prince Dodo, the leader of the Jurchen white flag, has achieved a great victory!"
Since the fall of Liaodong, how could the Jurchens have suffered such a great defeat? They also captured a prince, which was the greatest victory in the war against the captives in decades.
As if a huge boulder had smashed into the lifeless Hanyuan Hall, the originally quiet and slightly strange ministers felt a storm in their hearts.
The ministers were stunned and did not react for a moment.
Even though some courtiers would have imagined that there would be a great victory, it was not so sudden. How should I say? They thought that it would take at least a few months, and maybe it would be another bad battle. For example, there were continuous disasters in the south and southeast of the Yangtze River, as before.
In the Ming Dynasty, Japanese plagues were common and protracted.
But now...all the Jurchen princes have been captured alive?
Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye's complexion suddenly changed. He felt a basin of cold water poured down his pocket. The wat board he held in his hand almost trembled slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
So Jia Heng actually won?
Yang Guochang's old face was pale, and there was a hint of surprise in his cloudy eyes.
And Han Huang frowned, this... won again?
Not only annihilated all the bandits, but also captured the Jurchen Prince Dodo?
It can be said that the political situation in Beijing these days is very strange, because all knowledgeable people know that the appearance of sweet potato has made the prestige of Yong Ningbo, a martial artist, rising steadily among the people and scholars.
As for being so red in front of the emperor, Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, was given a cart of sweet potatoes by the emperor as proof. This time it was a cart of sweet potatoes, but next time it was a prison cart?
Therefore, whether it was the Qi Party or the Zhejiang Party, the relevant civil servants were afraid of them, so they stopped shouting and killing each other at the beginning, which to some extent caused a chilling effect.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty obviously would not object, but they still complained in their hearts. Some officials with dark minds were staring at this war with evil eyes and vague expectations.
It's not that the Jurchens are so powerful that they can land in the south of the Yangtze River, but that young man must lose once. Even if he is defeated, Jinling can't lose it with the soldiers from all provinces.
By then, the situation was tense.
but now……
Shi Jie took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent mood, and asked first: "Your Majesty, did Yongning Bo win the battle in Jiangnan?"
After hearing this, all the ministers in the palace immediately raised their eyes to look at Emperor Chongping, waiting for confirmation again.
Emperor Chongping, who was usually unsmiling, could barely hide the smile on his cold face and said: "Dai Quan, show all the general's reports to all the ministers."
At this moment, the worry on Dai Quan's face gradually dissipated, and the smile on his fair face could not be concealed. He took the military report and circulated it to the ministers below.
The Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department checked it first and saw that the military reports on it were all detailed, from the dispatch of troops to the battle with the enemy, to the final summary of the results of the battle, including the capture of Prince Dodo and the numerous losses of the North Korean navy.
Until this moment, Yang Guochang could only feel that his vision was dark, his heart sank to the bottom, his eyes were blank, his expression was dazed, and his face was ashen. He didn't know how he delivered the general's report to Han Huang who was standing aside.
It was an expression similar to Feng Biao's when facing Liu Huaqiang. Give me Liu Huaqiang a fight. Do you have the strength?
Losing one's soul is like losing one's heir.
Han Huang and Zhao Mo looked at the words on it, and their expressions changed. Their eyes were focused, they calmed down, and handed the general report to several important officials from the Military Aircraft Department on the side.
Han Huang's eyes were a little deeper, thinking about the impact of this matter on the court situation.
Prince Nan'an held the military report, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes became a little gloomy.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing held the military report and said with emotion on his young and handsome face: "Jia Ziyu will be an unparalleled general. He will be the mainstay of the country."
It's really hard not to be convinced. From the time when he was organizing the army in the capital camp, facing the complicated personnel in the capital camp, to now winning consecutive battles, there is nothing that Jia Ziyu can't do.
Jia Zheng also read the military report, his beard trembling slightly with excitement on his elegant face.
Ziyu achieved another great victory!
However, Emperor Chongping took the memorial written by Jia Heng and read it carefully. The memorial mainly described the benefits of firearms, especially the power of Hongyi cannons and suggestions for introducing the craftsmanship of making red Yi fire guns.
At this moment, all the ministers in the palace were passing by, and it was quiet for about one breath.
Cheng Xin, the general envoy, took the lead in congratulating each other and said: "Jiangnan has won a great victory. Congratulations to the emperor and the great Han!"
For a time, the ministers in the palace also calmed down their mixed feelings, and not to be outdone, they raised their hands and said, "Congratulations to the Holy Emperor and congratulations to the great man!"
No matter what he was thinking, there was only one voice in Hanyuan Hall at this moment, the voice of victory.
Moving from one victory to another can crush all objections.
Capturing a prince and annihilating a navy of 30,000 pirates was a great victory worthy of special mention.
It can be said that the civil unrest for several months made people think that the Chen-Han Building was about to collapse, but now it seems like overnight, there is another picture of the Chinese Renaissance?
The changes are so fast that it is almost dizzying.
