The Manchu army never left the pass, and Jinju has always closed the city gate to martial law.

On this day, the people at the head of the city suddenly saw a group of knights flying horses coming, and when they got closer, they found that the leader was wearing a white flying fish suit, followed by a large number of people wearing black flying fish suits.

Suddenly, they thought of the conflict between their own Zhizhou-sama and Shousuke-sama. They don't have to guess, Jinyiwei suddenly came to Jinju, it must have something to do with this matter. When they thought about it, they immediately became worried.

Unlike the last time it was an army, there are no Manchu Tartars outside, and the other party is the emperor's own army, the famous Jinyi Guard, no one dares to let the Jinyi Guard enter the city.

Chen Hongxu, who was discussing at the Yamen, couldn't help but become nervous immediately when he heard that Jinyiwei had arrived outside the city and was about to enter the city. Although he knew that Lu Xiangsheng would help him speak, but this time he offended after all, it was the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the head of a hundred officials, and it was false to say that he was not worried.

The officials of the yamen who followed him to discuss the matter, as well as several squires who were the leaders of the city, were also frightened, and one of them immediately suggested to Chen Hongxu: "My lord, it is definitely not a good thing for Jinyiwei to come. Or don't let them into the city under the pretext of being afraid of spies? ”

"Yes, don't open the city gate, if the Jinyi guard can't enter, he won't be able to help the adults!" Others also chimed in.

When Chen Hongxu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "No, after all, this official is an official of the imperial court, and Jinyiwei must have come by order, how can he refuse to enter?" ”

Speaking of this, seeing that they seemed to want to speak, he immediately added: "Besides, if you can hide from the first year of junior high school, can you still hide from the fifteenth?" Let's go and greet it together, it's not necessarily a bad thing! ”

Although he said this, he didn't believe it himself. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and the only way to comfort yourself is to think about the good side.

After saying that, he took the lead and strode out.

The others saw each other, looked at each other, and all saw each other's worries. But there is really no way, so I can only go out with Lord Zhizhou.

However, Lord Zhizhou offended Shoufu for the sake of Jinju, and no matter what, they didn't want anything to happen to Chen Hongxu. Therefore, they fell behind a little, lowered their voices, and discussed as they went.

"If you want me to see, Jin Yiwei is here so soon, it must be bad for Lord Zhizhou!"

"Yes, although I heard that Lu Shangshu will speak for Lord Zhizhou, but can Lu Shangshu be bigger than Lord Shoufu? I think the emperor will definitely believe Shousuke's words! ”

"Otherwise, we can't wait any longer, we must immediately send someone to Beijing to contact the villagers who are officials in Beijing to move up and avenge Lord Zhizhou!"

"Listen, everyone, if Jinyiwei wants to take someone on the spot, let's intercede for the adult together and state the adult's hardship! You might as well stuff some silver, so that Jinyiwei can take care of the adults for us when he goes back, and it would be better if he could convey the wishes of the people of Jinju City! ”

“……”

When they said this, passers-by heard it and joined them in their ranks. By the time Chen Hongxu arrived at the gate of the city, behind him, there were already all the people of Jinzhou who had rushed to hear the news!

The city gate opened, and the Jinyi guard, who was already a little impatient to wait, entered the city gate hole, looked up for the first time, and was immediately startled when he saw the dense crowd of human heads.

However, when Chen Hao, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, saw the leader wearing the official uniform of the Jinzhou Governor, he was determined a lot, and immediately asked: "Are you Chen Hongxu, the Jinzhou Governor?" ”

Chen Hongxu was a little worried about the fact that so many people came behind him, and he was a little worried that if things really went bad, these brocade guards would come to arrest him on the spot, and it would be bad if it caused a civil uprising.

Therefore, when he heard Jinyiwei Baihu's question, he hurriedly replied: "This official is Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, please go to the yamen to speak!" ”

If there are fewer people in the yamen, it should not cause a big backlash from the people of Jinju. If you choose a time when there are fewer people to go out of the city, you may be able to leave quietly, and you don't have to worry about the Jinju people's uprising, which will cause trouble.

But who knows, when the brocade guard confirmed that the person in front of him was Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, his heart was wide, and he saw that the face of a person in front of him was full of worry, so he smiled and said loudly: "The emperor said, Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, received the order!" ”

When Chen Hongxu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seemed that his hard work was in vain, and he actually announced the decree here.

However, Jinyi Wei Baihu had already spoken, and he had no choice but to kneel down and listen to the order. The people behind him also knelt down, but they all raised their heads and looked nervously at the brocade guards and Chen Hongxu's back, with worried faces.

"I have ordered Dongchang to find out the truth, Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, is worthy of being the pillar of the country, and under the siege of 100,000 Manchu Qing troops, he held the city without losing it, and saved the people of Jinzhou, I am very relieved, and I will return to Beijing after the war to recount my merits, and I have another reuse......

Hearing this, Chen Hongxu looked up in amazement, thinking that he had heard it wrong! The officials and people of Jinzhou behind him were also very surprised, and even many of them opened their mouths wide and looked at the Jinyi Wei Baihu who was talking with an incredulous expression.

“…… Now that the Manchu army is still wreaking havoc in the Guannai, Jinzhou's experience in defending the city should be quickly promoted and the cities will learn from it. Therefore, Chen Qing quickly summed up the experience of defending the city of Jinzhou and handed it over to the Jinyi Guard to pass it to the cities to resist the Manchu army. ”

Hearing this, Chen Hongxu can confirm that he really heard correctly. remembered that in the emperor's edict, he praised himself as a pillar of the country, and suddenly he was excited!

As a courtier, what a high honor it is to be evaluated by the emperor as a pillar of the country! All of a sudden, he forgot to answer the order, and he was a little stupid there.

And those behind him, those who heard the emperor's dictation clearly, were also overjoyed. Instead of being stupid, they gossiped excitedly.

"The Emperor Shengming!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"Good people have good rewards, Lord Zhizhou is such a good official, the emperor is wise!"

“……”

Hearing these words, those who did not hear the content of the dictation immediately became anxious in their hearts. What's a good thing, what is it anyway? Hurry up, hurry up and talk about it, I'm really in a hurry!

In this noise, Chen Hongxu finally came back to his senses, and immediately received the order of gratitude excitedly. Then after getting up, he immediately stretched out his hand and signaled, asking Jinyiwei to follow him to the yamen, and he immediately went to write down the experience of defending the city.

On the street leading to the Yamen, the people standing were full of people, and they immediately automatically separated from a road, and one by one happily watched Lord Zhizhou accompany the Jinyi Guard to the Yamen. Soon after, they dispersed and spread the news throughout the city of Jinju. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, as if it was the New Year.

When he arrived at Yamen, there were fewer people around, and Chen Hongxu was still a little strange in his heart, thinking that Shoufu was just a fierce mouth, and he didn't impeach himself after returning to Beijing?

I didn't understand, so he asked Jinyi Wei Baihu by the way: "I don't know if Lord Shoufu can impeach this official?" ”
