"Hahaha......" The feminine laughter suddenly sounded in the lobby.

Everyone in the hall looked at Gao Qiqian and smiled, they were a little at a loss, what could be funny about Lu Shilang's urgent letter?

Among them, several generals smiled happily when they saw Gao Qiqian, although they didn't understand, but they also squeezed out a smile and laughed, laughing inexplicably, but showing the potential of a dog's legs.

But suddenly, Gao Qiqian suddenly put away his laughter, rubbed his hands, crumpled the letter from Lu Xiangsheng, threw it away, and then sneered coldly: "He is also worthy of learning from the overlord of Chu!" ”

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the generals who were smiling reluctantly suddenly froze, and they couldn't understand why the director suddenly said such a sentence?

When they were still stunned, they heard Gao Qiqian command outside: "Our family has no extra money and food here, as for the reinforcements, hehe, our family will wait for the opportunity to move!" Get lost! ”

Add the word "roll", then there is a problem with this "waiting for the opportunity". None of the people present are stupid, and they understand at once that it seems that Director Gao's attitude towards Lu Shilang is still the same as before.

In the gatehouse of the county office, Yang Tinglin was roasting the fire, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he quickly stood up, and immediately greeted him outside, regardless of the cold outside. Sure enough, he saw that the lieutenant had returned, but looking at his face, his heart suddenly chuckled, and he felt a little bad.

The captain saw Yang Tinglin's eagerly awaited look, thinking that the military affairs were like this, but he was eating, drinking and having fun inside, and he had no intention of helping at all, as a martial artist, he felt the same way, and said with a little apology: "This lord, please go back, the director made it clear that there is no extra money and food, as for the reinforcements, they are waiting for the opportunity." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Tinglin immediately understood the meaning of these words, but he was still unwilling, so he asked about the situation, wanting to know the details to support his judgment.

The captain hesitated for a moment, but finally leaned close to Yang Tinglin's ear and whispered: "The director said something after reading the letter, he is also worthy of learning from the overlord of Chu. ”

Yang Tinglin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately understood

It turned out that Lu Shilang's so-called clever plan was to learn from the famous battle of the Chu overlord, that is, the battle of Julu in ancient times, and use the army he led to fight a decisive battle with the Manchu army, just as the Chu overlord launched an attack on the Qin army several times his size, and finally led the other rebel troops (Gao Qi Qiansuo) to complete the tactics of defeating the Qin army (Manchu army).

When you think about it, it's a coincidence.

Lu Shilang's army was in Julu, and Jize was only sixty miles away from Julu, and the cavalry army was coming in an instant, and the Manchu army was also close to here. This giant deer may become a decisive battlefield between the two armies. And Lu Shilang's bravery, even if it is inferior to the overlord of Chu, it is estimated that it is not much worse.

Although the Manchu army and the Qin army at that time also had superior forces, this battle really had to be fought as Lu Shilang thought, and it was not impossible to fight. But this premise is that at least the Gao Qi Diving Department must move forward, and it is necessary to go to Julu to deal with it nearby, so that the Manchu army has scruples. But now, it is clear that the director still wants to hold on!

Thinking of this, Yang Tinglin was anxious, and wanted the captain to help spread the word, he wanted to meet Director Gao, and wanted to use his eloquence to move Director Gao.

"Your Excellency, don't be embarrassed." The lieutenant said with a wry smile, "Just two times, the last general has already been evil, and he really can't go again!" ”

When Yang Tinglin heard this, he knew that it was impossible for him to see Gao Qiqian, and he couldn't help but hate it. With heavy troops in hand, he didn't want to serve the country, and let the Manchu army rage, and the lives were ruined, and the eunuchs misled the country, and the eunuchs misled the country!

He stomped his foot, turned and walked away. I'm ashamed that I didn't do what the adults entrusted, but no matter what, I must let the adults understand the situation here!

In just a few moments, he had already turned on his horse and braved the bitter cold to leave again!

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on the throne, and he was also worried, wondering what happened to the war on Lu Xiangsheng's side? It's a pity that there are too few eavesdropping seeds, otherwise if you put one on Lu Xiangsheng's body, you would be able to know the situation over there at any time. It seems that you can only do more tasks given by the system, so that the more eavesdropping seeds, it will be much easier to do in the future.

Thinking so, he suddenly turned his head to look at a rotating eunuch beside him and looked at it for a while.

The eunuch was in the prime of life, but he was slightly bent over and waited very respectfully. Between his expressions, there was a faint hint of trepidation.

This eunuch is the famous Wang Chengen, who had a hanged friendship with Emperor Chongzhen in later generations, and he was still the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor at this time.

Feeling the emperor's gaze, Wang Chengen immediately bent down and waited.

I only heard Emperor Chongzhen's voice ask lightly, "How long have you been kneeling?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been half an hour!" Wang Chengen immediately replied respectfully.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, half an hour is an hour, and it is estimated that it is about the same. Still in a flat tone, he commanded, "Let them all come in!" ”

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed.

Turning around, he looked at a few small attendants who were waiting on the side. He really didn't expect that it was these few little chamberlains who caused such a big thing. Fortunately, I didn't go to the inner study hall, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to kneel outside.

These thoughts flashed by, and Wang Chengen personally went out of the palace gate to deliver the decree.

After a while, the eight eunuchs who were shivering from the cold entered the warm hall with a cold air, and they all fell to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at the eight palm seal eunuchs and said coldly: "Do you think that I have wronged you by punishing you like this?" ”

Eight of the twelve eunuchs in the palace knelt here.

"Slaves don't dare." The eight palm seal eunuchs replied almost in unison, "The slave is guilty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded slightly, and said: "It's good to know, the inner study hall is the source of fresh blood for the eunuchs in the palace, and most of them will hold important positions in the palace in the future." If the inner study hall has already been polluted by messy things, how can I believe that the slaves and maids in the harem can do good errands? ”

The eunuchs in the palace are divided into two parts, and one part is from the inner study.

These are all learned eunuchs, and their future will be better than those who have not read the inner study hall. After all, there are many important positions in the palace, but they are not just errands. For example, the celebrant has to deal with the country's major affairs just like the cabinet. If you don't have a certain amount of knowledge, you will definitely not be able to do it. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen said this.

This matter in the inner study hall is not light, and whether it is serious or not, it all depends on what the people in power think. Now that Emperor Chongzhen has talked about this, it means that he attaches great importance to it.

"The fact that you can come here to ask for your guilt as soon as possible shows that you are aware of the problem." Emperor Chongzhen continued to say to the eunuchs below, "In this case, I have already punished you, and this matter will end here." However, on the side of the inner study hall, it must be in accordance with the rules and regulations in the future, and if anyone dares to mess around again, he will not forget the love of the past! ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the slave thank the emperor!"

After Emperor Chongzhen stared at them again for a while, he didn't let them go, but said in a colder voice: "This time, I happened to pass by the Inner Study Hall and found out about this. I believe that there are other things in this palace, are you all still hiding it from me? ”

"Slaves don't dare to ......"

This time, before they could finish speaking, Emperor Chongzhen immediately interrupted them and said, "There is no need for you to perfunctory me, I have to know the situation in the palace." In this temple, write down to me everything you know about the transgressions in the palace, whether it is your own or that of others. ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and signaled, Chen Baoting, who had been standing on the side, and other eight attendants from the Inner Study Hall, immediately moved tables and chairs, and the four treasures of the study room, arranged as if they were an examination room, one seat per person, and also moved a screen to separate everyone individually.

This scene was very surprising to see the eight palm print eunuchs below. It can be seen that the emperor has been prepared for a long time.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that the arrangement was completed, he instructed Wang Chengen: "You all go out and wait, Chen Baoting and the other eight people will stay and wait." ”

When Wang Chengen heard this, he didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly retreated with other palace maids.

As soon as they left, Emperor Chongzhen said to the eight palm seal eunuchs: "It is impossible for people to be selfless, and I can understand this. Today I will give you a chance to write down everything you know. As long as it is not heinous, I can pardon it with impunity. But if after today, I still know that I have deceived me and not reported it, so I will not blame me for not remembering the love of the past! ”

The palm print eunuchs of the twelve eunuchs, generally speaking, are the emperor's henchmen, otherwise it would be impossible to sit in this position. As for whether the henchmen will do anything behind the emperor's back, that's another matter.

If it had been in the past, they, the eunuchs, would probably have denied it invariably. But today there is already a matter of the inner study hall, and they also know that the emperor has also heard some discussions, if he denies that there are no other violations at this time, then the emperor will not believe it.

Also, judging from the emperor's planned arrangement, maybe the emperor has already mastered some things, if he doesn't write it out, he will probably not be able to eat and walk away!

What's more important is that the emperor's hand came suddenly, and they didn't even have time to discuss, who knows if they didn't write it, would it be written by others?

Thinking like this, the hearts of these palm print eunuchs were suddenly full of helplessness and panic. I'm afraid it's hard to pass this level in front of me!

So, in the main hall, under the attention of Emperor Chongzhen, eight small chamberlains, each waiting for a eunuch with palm prints, entered the lattice to write a confession.

At the same time, Yang Tinglin hurried up, was anxious, and rushed back to Julu Jiazhuang as quickly as possible. However, he was still a step too late, and Lu Xiangsheng had already led the army.
