At the end of August, the capital was bleak, and the official road was full of yellow leaves.

At this time, the city gate had just opened, but the merchant travelers waiting to enter and exit the Desheng Gate were extremely scarce. This is because it is the annual period of martial law again. Dong Fox in the north and Alta in the west may lead thousands of troops and horses to plunder at any time.

Every year from August to October, the people of Gyeonggi take refuge in the city. Wait until the Tartars are out of the customs and the alarm is lifted before resuming activities.

Although the famous Qi Jiguang has been transferred to Jizhen, the number of times Dong Fox has gone south has been greatly reduced in the past two years, but the fear that has been cultivated over the years can not be dissipated for a while?

At the Desheng Gate, people are curling their necks and waiting in line to be inspected for entering the city. During the martial law period, the government's investigation was much tighter than usual.

Suddenly, a hurried horse's hooves sounded from the official road in the north, and a group of cavalrymen with small flags on their backs galloped towards them.

When the officer guarding the gate saw that it was a military newspaper, he hurriedly asked people to move away and let them into the city. The common people also hurriedly hid to the sides and looked nervously.

"Could it be that Dong Fox is here?" Someone couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice.

"Good news, good news!" Immediately, the knights ran wildly and shouted in unison: "Great victory!" ”

"Our army killed more than 10,000 enemies and captured 30,000 prisoners, Dong Fox bound himself, please surrender ......"

Before the words were spoken, the cavalry had galloped into the city and disappeared into the streets.

Under the Desheng Gate, people looked at each other.

"Won, did I hear me right?"

"You heard it right, it's good news!" Someone said with an incredulous face: "It was said that 10,000 enemies were killed, 30,000 were captured, and Dong Fox was captured." ”

"Really, bragging, right?" The over-exaggerated victory made the people unbelievable. "The Mongols are all riding horses, how can the officers and soldiers hold on to their two legs?"

"Yes, every time it was a big victory, but what was the result? The Mongols are still every year. An old man said indignantly: "It's just killing good and risking merit!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that's Qi Dashuai!" Immediately, a merchant from the south protested: "He has already made immortal achievements in the fight against the Japanese in the south, so why should he kill the good and risk the merits and ruin his own reputation?!" ”

"Can the Japanese be compared to the Tartars......" The old man was so frightened that his face turned red, and he said forcefully: "Those who have no horses are scum, and those who have horses are elites!" ”

"Alright, stop arguing." is still the hundred households guarding the Desheng Gate, and the quarrel was restrained in one sentence. "It's going to be true."

"What did the official say?" And the people looked at the hundred households.

"The key to killing good and risking merit is to 'kill', and only when there is no proof of death can it be done. When the official was in Xuanfu...... "Baihu is an expert as soon as he opens his mouth, and he probably has done it before."

"Well, anyway, there will be no survival. Since General Qi dared to report that 30,000 prisoners were captured, and Dong Fox also surrendered, of course the imperial court had to send a division to verify it, and this kind of big victory, eighty percent of them were to be sacrificed. That's 30,000 living Mongols, how did they pretend to be? ”

"Makes sense......" The people couldn't help but nod their heads, thinking about it like this, it really couldn't lie.

"So, Qi Dashuai really won a big victory?" The crowd became excited.

"That's for sure!" Baihu laughed and waved his fists, tears in his happy eyes.

"Whew!" The people and soldiers inside and outside the Desheng Gate also cheered with relief.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded all over the capital, and it was the people who got the news who spontaneously celebrated.

How many generations has Da Ming been abused by the Tartars? Even the emperor can be taken captive, and the Gyeonggi land has been plundered over and over again, and the Tartars have appeared under the city of Beijing for an unknown number of times.

It's a shame, it's a shame. Throw the face of the second ancestor to Yin Mountain! If it weren't for the big backing, the Ming would be the worst Han dynasty in history. Directly changed the name to 'Xiao Ming'......

Now you can finally throw the 'phobia' behind the Yin Mountain!

Can't be too much to celebrate!

~~

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, the scholars received the military report for the first time.

"Hahahaha!" The loud laughter of the high arch was like a bell, as if it were about to tear down the roof.

"How about it, Taiyue, the old man's decision is right!" He shook Zhang Juzheng's shoulders vigorously, and said proudly: "If I had listened to you at the beginning, how could I have won such a big victory?" ”

Zhang Juzheng was shaken so that his beard was messed up, but he couldn't break free, so he had to smile bitterly: "It's still Xuan Weng who is clever and conservative." ”

"Hahaha, the old man is a little more aggressive, you are more stable, we are in love...... Oh no, it's a golden match. Gao Gong happily pulled him up and said, "Let's go, let's go with the emperor to report the good news." ”

"Okay." Zhang Juzheng was helplessly pulled up by him, and did not forget to say to Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji: "The two of you go together?" ”

The two hesitated for a while, and when they encountered such a rare happy event, of course they wanted to show their faces, but looking at Gao Gong's unkind eyes, they knew that he didn't want them to join in the fun.

It's better not to humiliate yourself, the two scholars had to laugh and say that they had something to do. In order to prove that he was indeed in trouble, Li Chunfang also picked up this piece and pretended to look at it.

"Taiyue, go quickly, there are too many people with fast mouths, don't let people take the lead." Gao Gong withdrew his warning gaze and happily pulled Zhang Juzheng out.

After the two of them went out, Zhao Zhenji stood up and walked to Li Chunfang's table.

Shousuke-sama looked at the door and was distracted, not even noticing that the sorbet had been taken down.

Rao is his self-proclaimed 'good as water', and those who have been bullied by Gao Gong in the past year are almost quails, but this time he is still a little sad.

How can you not even bring yourself for such a thing? Don't you let Your Majesty see that this Shoufu is actually an ornament? Woo, Li Shoufu, who has been trying hard to pretend that everything is under control, wants to cry.

"Yuan Weng, the tall beard is too much!" Zhao Zhenji slapped the table, making Li Chunfang tremble. He wanted to use this method to bring back the courage of this licorice elder.

"Who is the first assistant in this cabinet? It's you old! But the surname Gao has always taken you in his eyes? He regarded himself as the prime minister everywhere, and he only discussed everything with Zhang Taiyue. Don't take us seriously! The more Zhao Zhenji thought about it, the more angry he became: "I'm not provoking, but if I am Yuanfu, I must not give up!" ”

"Alas......" Li Chunfang sighed, looked at Zhao Zhenji who was blowing his beard and glaring, and said, "What if you are not willing to give up?" Gao Xin Zheng has the emperor's sole favor, and the court has almost let him clean up. And most importantly, they have done a great job......"

"This ......" Even if Zhao Zhenji is extremely disgusted with Gao Gong, he has to admit that Gao Beard's ability is strong and fierce!

It has only been a year since he took office, and he tried his best to capture Wei Yinbao alive and pacify Guangxi. He asked Pan Ji to tame Prime Minister Hecao and repair the Yellow River this year. Wang Chonggu, who was appointed, also stabilized the northwest. Now Qi Jiguang has achieved a great victory at Xifengkou under his orders!

These hard stuff are enough to gag everyone's mouths. Gao Gong's one-year achievements topped the previous ten years, and the faces of the previous first assistants were swollen. Yan Song is dead, and Xu Jie's reputation is also ruined, of course it doesn't matter, all the doubts are focused on Li Chunfang, the reigning first assistant. made him more and more unconfident to compete with the high arch......

At first, he thought that as long as he didn't get in the way of the high arch, when he was quietly furnished, everyone could be safe. But as the high arch broke through and soared, he noticed that things were starting to change. If you don't leave, it will become the biggest sin.

"Alas, having such a hard-related, capable, and difficult subordinate is the magic star of the old man's life." Thinking of this, Li Chunfang was a little depressed, a boss like herself who was easy to talk to, had nowhere to find a lantern, but the tall beard didn't cherish it. "The old man can't do anything with him, you want to open a little too."

"The rabbit is in a hurry and bites!" Seeing his soft and unscrupulous appearance, Zhao Zhenji was angry and said angrily: "Xia Guan is now in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so I don't believe that I don't have a chance to give him some color to see!" ”

Li Chunfang snotted again, that is also the first assistant of the cabinet, Gao Gong always has to save some face for him. But Zhao Zhenji, a bachelor at the bottom of the line, how could he put a tall beard in his eyes? Calling and drinking at him all day long, calling at will, and beating him from time to time. Zhao Zhenji is such an arrogant person, how can he stand this idleness when he dared to offend Yan Song three times and twice?

"Don't." Li Chunfang hurriedly persuaded: "Gao Suqing is hindering the previous agreement, and it is not good to attack Kedao, so I am waiting for you to give him this excuse." ”

"I'll see the opportunity." Zhao Zhenji snorted, I don't know if I heard it. Then he asked in a low voice, "Yuanfu, what do you think of that Zhang Taiyue?" ”

"What do you think?" Li Chunfang pretended to be confused.

"He used to be a solitary person, what an arrogant person, but now he has become a boy under the tall beard, and his heart can be comfortable?" Zhao Zhenji then said to himself: "And it turned out that Zhang Taiyue was in good military management, and as soon as he came, he would stick a bar, and everything had to be done according to his will." Not only did he change the governor of Xuanda, but he also picked the peaches in Jizhen - that Qi Jiguang was raised by Zhang Juzheng as a child daughter-in-law, but he let the tall beard snatch it to be the wife of the village, can he be happy? ”

"What is this......" Li Chunfang pondered the words: "I'm a noble person with a deep heart, who knows what he thinks?" ”

In fact, Li Chunfang knew that Gao Gong had recovered from the past year, and Zhang Juzheng had contributed a lot behind his back. At that time, Zhao Zhenji had not yet entered the cabinet, so naturally there was no way to know such secrets. But Li Chunfang didn't plan to tell him, obviously he had the intention of letting Zhao Zhenji fight with Gao Gong, even if he couldn't move his surname Gao, he could still export his evil anger.

"He and the tall beard are very proud, and the two hedgehogs are hugging each other, and I must be uncomfortable." Zhao Zhenji became more and more convinced of his judgment and said, "I'll talk to him when I go back and see if it's possible to pull him over." ”

"Go ahead, I've got your back." Li Chunfang nodded and gave Zhao Zhenji a jiri, but sighed in his heart, the boss is not a small person, and he really wants to be a peach.

But Zhang Juzheng's guy is insidious and cunning, maybe he will use him as he is.
