In the Hall of Political Affairs, there are no officials from the Six Ministries and Nine Temples who have come out to play the correct report. They are just waiting for the good news.
Huang Laosi was sitting on the dragon chair, wishing he could tell the whole world that Chu Wensheng was his uncle, an uncle who was as good as his biological father. The emperor was not good at all. His uncle was the closest to him. Not only could he fight, but he mainly wanted to save money.
.
After being on the throne for so long, except for the time when Chu Qing gave him 200,000 yuan in silver notes, the fourth child has never been so happy. Now when he returns to Taowu Palace at night, he invites three more concubines to accompany him to discuss life.
Since the end of the first month, the number of good news has been like a blowout of winnings after a sharp decline in lottery sales, with more than ten a day.
Wangyuan City was recaptured, and the formation killed 28,000 people.
Take back Nana, and kill 12,000 in formation.
Where is the Liangrong supply camp? How many cattle and sheep have been cut down for food and grass?
No, no, no, no, they encountered the Little Drum Rangers, and captured a lot of them alive, but because these bastards acted as if they were reincarnated as starving ghosts, they cut them in half because they didn't want to waste food.
There are more than a dozen such good news every day, and sometimes there are only four or five.
At first, some people questioned these good news, but as more and more Liangrong nobles were escorted back to the capital, no one said a word.
Everyone is numb, even the generals are numb.
When there is too much of something, it becomes a number. This is true for success reports and the same is true for military exploits.
Nangong Xi, Shangshu Sheng and officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were studying every day who should be granted official status, who should be promoted, and who should be rewarded.
I haven’t researched anything here, but the good news is here again. I haven’t finished reading the good news, and there are a few more military reports. Which tribe on the grassland led thousands or tens of thousands of tribesmen to defect to Dachang and bow to me instead of bowing to me?
, that is, calling him son.
It is also difficult for these grassland tribes who did not participate in the war. Wave after wave of envoys came to the capital, just saying, Dads, I was wrong. Please call Grandpa Chu Wensheng back. Grandpa said, wait until you die.
The Great Khan, the Golden Wolf King, wants to go out and kill us. The reason is that he is the most ruthless to us idiots. The Great Khan, the Golden Wolf King, beats you, Dachang, and if we don't come over, it must be because he has evil intentions, so he wants to kill us.
It was also at this time that the court officials realized how famous Chu Wensheng was on the grasslands back then. The Liang people were really scared. Mentioning the wolf-catching army, Chu Wensheng, and the general of the wolf-catching army, one of the two heroes, made the whole day.
I couldn't sleep well, and I was always afraid of finding out when I got up that my tent was gone, my trousers were gone, my sheepskin jacket was gone, and my son was the only one left in the camp, with no brain left.
When he was at the border, Lao Chu was a habitual criminal on the grassland. He went around committing crimes and led a group of wolf-catchers. He not only beat wolves, he also stole them, poisoned the water, and burned grain and grass. These were all basic operations, and he would return them every now and then.
For some fun, he got some wild horses with hoof disease to infect war horses, or he pretended to be other tribes to stir up trouble. The most disgusting thing is that he raided noble tribes and then blamed other tribes. When the two sides started a war,
When the beating was wrong, he went out to pick up what was ready, not only killing people, but also laughed at others, saying that these people were all stupid people.
Back then, when everyone knew that Chu Wensheng had left seclusion, all the tribes, without exception, treated each other with respect, no matter how big the conflicts were. Chu Wensheng was regarded as the end of the grassland infighting.
Many envoys from Liangrong who came to the capital lost their temper and quarreled with a group of officials from Honglu Temple who had just taken office. They said that Dachang was not fastidious and that Chu Wensheng had become the commander-in-chief of the border army. If you had earlier
He said, "We have come to bow down to you a long time ago."
The newly appointed officials of Honglu Temple were also very grumpy and almost started fighting with the Liangrong envoys.
Today, there is an iron rule in Honglu Temple: Don't give a good look to foreigners. You can beat them, but you can't give them a good look.
Because once they give a good look, they are suspected of "involving thieves." In the past, their predecessors always gave the envoys a good look, and they gave it to them. Now the ashes jars have been imprisoned by Qianqiying Tanma, Chu Qing
These beasts under my command won’t even spare the urn!
Not only the tribal envoys were resentful, but many civil and military officials were also resentful towards Huang Laosi and the Supreme Emperor.
Father Chu is staying well at the border. He must be mentally ill. If he doesn’t bring him back to the capital to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, how can Liangrong dare to find trouble every now and then for so many years? I don’t know.
How much money did the imperial court lose in terms of food?
"Report!"
The imperial guard walked in quickly with a calm expression: "Qucheng was recovered, and all of the Nalong tribe died except for the leader."
General Sun An brought it over, but the fourth child didn't even look at it.
These tribes are dying one by one, tens of thousands of them. Now except for the largest tribes, he has no interest in other tribes.
The monarchs and ministers all noticed that Chu Wensheng seemed a little anxious.
In the past, a captain of thousands or ten thousand would be escorted back after being caught.
The content of the military report had changed since five days ago. All the Liang people were stubbornly resisting, and the content was extremely nonsense. Ten thousand people were all stubbornly fighting against the trapped beasts, rushing out of the city, and fighting to the death without surrendering.
At that time, everyone thought Liang Zei was quite brave.
Later, I learned through various reliable gossips that the Liang bandits were not brave at all. Without food and grass, who could be brave enough to fight against the ghosts at all costs? Chu Wensheng thought it was troublesome, so he was killed on the spot.
There are even more ridiculous military reports. According to what Lao Chu wanted to express, he accidentally shot someone. By coincidence, he shot the leader of the opponent to death, and then thousands or even tens of thousands of people committed mass suicide and were buried with him.
So there were no prisoners of war.
Not only Huang Laosi, but also other ministers were no longer interested in military reports, because these military reports basically insulted their intelligence.
Just look at those scapegoat families. They were clearly tricked by Chu Wensheng. Let’s look at what was written in the military newspaper. Which family said who was in the city? Even if there were only a few hundred or thousands of people in the family, they still had to defend the city. Faced with
Liang Rong's tens of thousands of troops didn't blink an eye, they just defended to death. If they defended, they would die.
Chu Wensheng also gave a very sentimental praise in the military newspaper, saying that these aristocratic families are role models for our generation, and asked the court to burn more paper for them.
There are many new faces in the Council Hall, led by Xu Tianchen and his grandfather, many of whom are from Xunyang Dao aristocratic families.
They were able to become officials in the court because they had received Qiu Wanshan's "benefits".
Before Chu Qing left, he asked Qianqiying to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Finance to inspect the capital. Every day, officials were dismissed or retired and returned to their hometowns. The extra vacancies were "sold" by Qiu Wanshan. They were bundled and sold. If you become an official, you
You have to buy land.
Or it could be said that Mr. Qiu is a righteous man, and the first people he deceives are his own people. Those sons of aristocratic families who were forcibly captured by Chu Qing on Xunyang Road were the new recruits of the Wolf Catching Army. These new recruits came from aristocratic families who thought they were really taking advantage.
Regarding the incident, they sent family members to serve as officials one after another, and then hemorrhage began.
Originally, they were still scolding Chu Qing for not only letting their children join the army, but also cheating them of their money.
They don’t scold them anymore because they think it’s life-saving money.
If their children had not followed Chu Qing and became new soldiers in the wolf-catching army, now their whole family would have become loyal and loyal soldiers in the old Chu army, defending the city, and finally being killed by the Liang people.
"Let's end the discussion this morning in the morning."
When Huang Laosi saw that it was almost noon, there should be no military reports. Just as he was about to announce the dispersal of the court, Tong Gui ran in.
"Your Majesty, military report, urgent report!"
The fourth child smiled and said to Sun An: "Don't give it to me, just read it to the ministers."
Sun An walked over, took the military newspaper, opened the envelope, and was stunned.
Huang Laosi realized something was wrong and couldn't help but ask: "Is the war going badly?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this military report is..."
"What is it, read quickly!"
"Your Majesty, you can't read it, you can't..."
The fourth child's heart skipped a beat and he shouted hurriedly: "Where did all this nonsense come from? What happened?"
Sun An knelt on the ground with a plop, a look of hesitation on his face.
The officials were shocked. Could it be that Chu Wensheng died in the battle? Otherwise, how could Sun An be so shocked?
Originally, there was still room for this matter, so Sun An hurriedly reported it to the general, and the fourth child could take a look at it himself.
But now the ministers' hearts are in their throats. If they don't read it out, they will speculate.
Huang Laosi's face was as gloomy as water: "I, let you read it!"
Sun An was extremely hesitant and finally glanced at Lao Si. His eyes were very incomprehensible, as if he was saying, you asked Lao Si to read this.
Spreading out the letter paper, Sun An could have lowered his voice, but for some reason, the volume suddenly increased an octave and he spoke extremely fast.
"Old Fourth, hahaha, I'm rebelling. Hurry up and get people to come over and quell the chaos. Fifty thousand people are almost enough. We can also bring twenty thousand civilians to collect the waste from the government. We don't need the Beijing camp. We also need to bring five thousand pairs of twisters to find a job in the military department."
Just come here and hurry up. I'm a rebel here and I'm in a hurry. You hurry up and stop the ink. I'm going to make a country called Da Ramang. It's Rampant Rampant, hahaha."
Sun An raised his head, looked at the stunned Huang Laosi, and blinked.
Come on, come on, come on, hurry up and deduct a thousand years of salary from me. Our family can't afford it anyway. If you have the ability, let me and my son take out a loan.
