Chapter 696: Nanjing is alive

"Woohoo lament, the national thief is in charge, the lives are ruined, but my generation has no power to restrain the chicken, it has not come in the slightest, there are thousands of ravines in the chest, but there is no wisp to flatten! I'm sorry for what I've learned, I'm sorry for the teachings of the saints......"

"Brother Hou, Brother Hou, you drank too much, don't say a word."

"Drinking too much? Am I like I'm drinking too much? Brother Chen, you look at me, look at my eyes, do I seem to have drunk too much? Stare at your eyes and see, what has become of these vulgar martial artists in this world? Hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang were all slaughtered! Didn't you go to the river to see the floating corpses? Haha, haha! This is what you call the humerus! My people are devastated, where has he gone, where has he gone? Come, who's going to tell me?! ”

"Brother Hou, you really drank too much, be careful that the wall has ears......"

"The wall has ears? I'm not afraid that the wall has ears! Others don't dare to say it, others are afraid of him, but I, Hou Fangyu, am not afraid! Even if you are broken bones, what is there to fear? I, Hou Fangyu, want to leave this innocence in the world......"

Nanjing, on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

In the twilight like a veil, on the second floor of a well-known restaurant along the river, the wine was already half-drunk, and a young man in a gorgeous dress was full of wine and was impassionedly shouting something, which attracted the attention of the surrounding drinkers.

Many young scholars wanted to refute it, but when they saw that this person was actually the beloved son of the old man of the court, they immediately swallowed their words back.

No way.

Because of the Huguang war, Hou Ge Lao was 'just red' at this time, and he had a lot of right to speak, and these scholars were all small arms and legs, who would dare to touch his moldy head at this time?

At this time, because the "Haicheng Morning Post" was published almost at the same time as Nanjing, only one day apart, many scholars in Nanjing can also learn about the news of Haicheng, especially many of the enlightenment cultures, and everyone is no longer simply hot-blooded.

Seeing that Hou Fangyu couldn't be pulled by a few people, spitting fragrant fragrance and struggling like jumping off a building, a young scholar not far away couldn't help but take a low sip: "With this ability, what are you tossing here?" How good is it to go to the Huguang battlefield to kill the enemy? Anyway, our thief generals, it was their father and son who brought it up! ”

"Brother Jiang, be cautious. Do not let evil come out of your mouth. ”

A colleague next to him whispered.

Shizi took another sip and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Drinking wine doesn't make people feel good, it's really too old." Brother Lu, Brother Qian, wait a minute, let's change to a clean shop, I'll treat you, keep drinking! ”

Although the other people at the table didn't show it, they couldn't get used to Hou Fangyu's table, and they all nodded.

However, just as a few people were about to drain their wine glasses and change places to continue, there was a sudden restless noise on the street below, like thunder.

"What's going on?"

Several people were taken aback and came to the balcony to check.

Nanjing is the core of the Ming Dynasty at this time, the first good place, the most afraid is that there are many people and chaos, several scholars have not caught up with the imperial examination at the end of last year, have not yet entered the office, but at the beginning of the year, there was news outflow, saying that this year may be to add Enke, so they all came to Nanjing early, on the one hand, to find out the news, on the other hand, but also to know some colleagues in advance, more ways, so they also pay extra attention to the changes in the current situation.

"What's going on! Where did the people come from? ”

Hou Fangyu and the others also heard the movement, and they hurriedly came to the balcony to check.

Chen Zhenhui, who successfully passed last year's imperial examination and went ashore and had already entered the ranks, frowned and said: "Could it be that something happened in Wuchang, and there is news coming over?" ”

The faces of several people suddenly changed.

This is also one of the biggest shortcomings of Nanjing as the national capital, it is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and once something happens upstream, there will soon be a rumor here.

Hou Fangyu couldn't help but feel even more distressed, and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Heaven is pitiful, God is pitiful, who, who will save my Ming thousands of living beings and eliminate the first evil!" ”

However, before Hou Fangyu's voice could settle, the cheers in front of him became clear.

"Newspaperβ€”"

"Good newsβ€”"

"Haicheng is waiting for Xu Changqing's eight hundred miles to expedite the good news! More than ten days ago, the Marquis of Haicheng set up an ambush in the Kuandian Mountains in the north of Zhenjiang, successfully defeated the main force of the two red flags, beheaded nearly 30,000 people, captured the Tartar flag master with the red flag, Gushan Ezhen Dai Shan, and killed the Tartar royal family and the big master of the red flag on the spot, Luo Luohun, and captured ......countless armor, blades, and banners.

Calling all the way, the herald's voice was already hoarse, but he still shouted heartbreakingly, trying to spread the news brought by his voice to everyone who could hear it.

After one pass, the other shouted.

Even the crazy cheers of the surrounding crowd sounded, which was like a mountain and a sea.

"What?"

"He, he, he, he, he, what did he just say? Why didn't I hear me??? ”

Hou Gongzi, who was about to continue to make a statement, was like being slapped on the head, and most of the alcohol dissipated in an instant, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and he was a little incredulous.

Chen Zhenhui was also a little dumbfounded, and she trembled a little uncomfortably.

Hou Fangyu didn't know if he heard it clearly just now, but he undoubtedly heard it clearly, after all, the herald worked so hard.

But he couldn't put into words how he felt at this point.

It turned out that Xu Changqing didn't care about the war in Huguang, but ...... It's a different dimension, a different dimension that they can't even think of......

"Reported, good news......"

At this time, the herald began to shout again, and finally broke through the crowd, and hurried towards this side.

Suddenly, they were surrounded downstairs again, and right under their noses, they held up the report and shouted.

This time, even if you don't want to hear it, you can't hear it.

"Huh!"

Hou Fangyu's little face turned white, it was even cleaner than the white wall next to him, and he only felt a hot pain on his face.

W-how the hell is this......

Xu Changqing didn't go to Huguang, but went to Liaodong, the key is that he actually made such a great achievement......

How can he still play with his son?

Especially the performance he just had...... It's like a clown who can't get on the stage......

"Haha, hahahaha, it's worthy of the Marquis of Haicheng! I'll just say, who is Haichenghou? What a majestic strategy! How could he watch the dog Tartar bully our Daming! It turns out that Haicheng Houye is waiting for him here! Cool, cool, happy, must be a big white! ”

The young scholar who had been in the Hou Fang domain just now couldn't hold it back, laughed heartily and wantonly, and directly picked up the wine jug, and drank it with a headache, and he didn't care if the wine was drenched all over his clothes.

The rest of the people also directly threw Hou Fangyu out of the clouds and echoed loudly.

I don't know when they will feel at ease as long as they hear Xu Changqing's name!

And Xu Changqing has news at this time, it is still this kind of big victory, and it will definitely be able to influence the overall situation of the world!

This also means that the war is likely to change rapidly, and this year's Enko may not be able to run.

"Haha, it's done!"

"The Marquis of Haicheng is mighty!"

"The model army is such a good man......"

In a short time, everyone heard clearly, and could no longer suppress it, and the whole street turned into a sea of joy.

Even Chen Zhenhui couldn't help but shake her arms excitedly!

Even if he couldn't get used to some of Xu Changqing's actions, especially from the position of Hou Fangyu's friends, at this time, he couldn't help but give Xu Changqing a thumbs up!

What is the Pillar of the Nation?

That's it!

Only Hou Fangyu was stunned, muttering words in his mouth, and muttering 'how is it possible'.

But no one has paid attention to him for a long time.

After this battle, the reputation that he Hou Gongzi has accumulated over the years is really about to collapse completely.

……

Soon, the news spread to the imperial city.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Cihong was eating quickly, waiting for the next meeting with the cabinet, and hurriedly looking for a way to deal with the war in Huguang.

Suddenly hearing the news, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he choked up all of a sudden.

is still a palace maid with sharp eyes, seeing that his face is about to be suffocated, she is busy bringing him a bowl of herbal tea.

Zhu Cihong subconsciously drank a few big sips, and then he felt much better, but he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Haichenghou, Haichenghou, you really didn't disappoint me!" All my grievances are worth it...... Quick, go to the queen of the mother. No, I'm going to ...... myself."

……

Cabinet.

Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Hou Xun, and Qian Qianyi were about to enter the palace, and when they heard the news, everyone stood on the spot, unable to help themselves for a long time.

After a while, after waiting for the battle report to be handed over, everyone checked it in turn, and then they came back to their senses.

Hou Xun was already covered in cold sweat, and muttered: "Marquis of Haicheng, there is such a martial artist...... Isn't this, isn't it just the abolition of the two red flags of the Tartars......"

Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying glanced at each other, and both of them had indescribable wry smiles on their faces.

What are the two of them fighting?

Under Xu Changqing's obscuring control, their little ninety-nine is simply not as good as a ......

Only Qian Qianyi's eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, but he felt that there was not a single pore on his body that was uncomfortable!

Following a master like Xu Changqing, do you still have to worry about having no right to speak?

Now, if you don't want to have the right to speak, you can't keep your eyes open......

……

It's almost like a gust of wind.

The news of Kuandian's victory spread all over Nanjing City in the blink of an eye, and the entire Nanjing City swept away the haze of this time, and the whole city came alive at once, exuding a huge vitality that could not be spoken.

Soon, all the taverns, green buildings, flower boats, small shops, and even street stalls are almost about to burst, and it is simply hard to find!

Everyone must thoroughly and happily vent their unhappiness during this time!

At this time, Zhu Cihong also directly postponed the cabinet meeting, and his fat body was like a dexterous penguin, and he hurriedly came to a small temple in the depths of Kunning Palace, with the three big characters of 'Qingya' written on it.

When the palace maid saw that the Son of Heaven was coming, she was scared and her pants were about to pee, and she was busy kneeling and kowtowing, but she didn't dare to let Zhu Cihong in.

Zhu Cihong sighed deeply, looked at a few palace maids guarding the door and said, "I am not blind, and the queen mother didn't want to hide it from me, I already knew!" Go, Queen Tongbing, I came to see her, and I have important news to tell her! ”

"This ......"

[UM dazw.biz] several palace maids still didn't dare to let him in.

Zhu Cihong could only kneel at the door, and he couldn't kneel straight.

Several palace maids had no choice but to walk in quickly to pass Queen Bingzhou.

Although Empress Zhou did not follow Xu Changqing's advice and went out of the palace to recuperate, she was confident that she could control her son, so she hesitated for a while, waved her hand and asked the palace maid to bring Zhu Cihong in, but she was busy letting the old palace maid carry a delicate little baby girl inside.

After a short time, Zhu Cihong walked over quickly and knelt down respectfully in front of Queen Zhou, "Erchen has seen the queen mother......

Queen Zhou was in confinement, her pretty face was still a little pale, and she had been a little embarrassed, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, are you ......here?"

When Zhu Cihong saw the appearance of Queen Zhou, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, but he no longer covered it up and described the matter in detail.

Although Empress Zhou said that she had known for a long time that Xu Changqing would never be untargeted, let alone see that Nanjing was in danger and not be rescued, how could she have thought that Xu Changqing would actually ...... made such a miraculous feat, and directly crippled the two red flags......

"Queen Mother, don't get too excited, be careful of hurting yourself. I, is my sister okay, can I see her? ”

Zhu Cihong struggled for a while, and then said embarrassedly and difficultly.

How smart is Empress Zhou? In an instant, I understood what he meant, the Son of Heaven had accepted the reality and wanted to take advantage of it......

Biting his red lips, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Come on, go, take the little girl out." ”
