"That's it for today's court meeting, let's go back to the yamen to work." Lao Zhu waved his sleeves, and was about to get up, when he suddenly saw a note in his sleeve, he took it in his hand and looked at it, and said: "I received the Liaodong military intelligence the day before yesterday, Naha has promised to surrender, and at this time it should be officially sealed Haixi, and Feng Sheng's good news will arrive soon." ”

"The emperor has become a martial artist, Siyi surrenders, and Weichen congratulates His Majesty!" Hu Weiyong has never been left behind, no wonder Lao Zhu likes him. Seeing this, all the Wenchen immediately followed, although it was not as fast as Hu Weiyong's reaction, the horses were definitely Hu Weiyong, a third-rate literati, was very clever. The generals and horses are much worse, and since Lao Zhu was not the emperor, he said those few words upside down, and it is estimated that Lao Zhu himself is a little tired of hearing it.

Who doesn't like to listen to sycophants, and the ferocious Lao Zhu is no exception, he smiled and pressed his hand and said: "Naha's surrender can set an example for the Fanbang barbarians, so I gave him a marquis, and the reward for food is also generous, and there is still a lack of a mansion at the moment, so the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry will start to build it." ”

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry hurriedly went out to receive the order, and Lao Zhu thought of something, "By the way, at present, Liaodong is pacified, and Shenyang can be the center of Liaodong in the future, but the city wall of Shenyang is dilapidated, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War can be rebuilt after being surveyed." ”

The secretary of the military department has not yet stood up to receive the order, but a junior officer of the military department hurriedly ran to the door of the main hall, shouting loudly: "Liaodong victory!" Liaodong victory! "Such an emergency military situation, when the Son of Heaven is played at the first time, even if it disturbs the court meeting, it will be fine.

Lao Zhu said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao Cao will arrive, announce him in!" ”

The junior officer of the Ministry of War walked into the hall, and naturally he would not forget to report his name when he had a rare opportunity to show his face, "Li Liben, the head of the Ministry of War, knocked to see my emperor!" Then he raised the song in his hand high, "Liaodong Jiebao, the capture of the general Feng Sheng, the army under his command captured the Naha camp on October 29, and fought with the enemy on the bank of the Baisha River that night, drowning and killing countless enemy soldiers......"

Lao Zhu only felt that his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't listen to the one behind him at all, so he suddenly got up and got off the Danqi, walked straight to the head of the military department, and copied the piece in his hand.

This little official is not excited, I have heard from my colleagues before that the good news was sent up, and the emperor waved his hand to send it away, and it was the first time that he personally got off the dragon chair and came to pick up the chapter like this. Presumably after today, Jane will be in the emperor's heart, this time it is really the light of General Feng, he just wonders why the high-ranking civil and military officials don't hurry over to sing the praises of virtue, the big guy doesn't open his mouth, it's always difficult for him to be in front.

"What's your name?"

Lao Zhu's question came from his ears, Li Liben was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen Li Liben, the current position of the head of the military department,"

Lao Zhu let out a sigh and said: "Li Liben, the head of the military department, doesn't know etiquette and etiquette, and he makes a loud noise to disturb the court, pulls out the court staff for twenty, and goes to Liaodong to make a county order." ”

Li Liben raised his head in disbelief, but Lao Zhu didn't look at him at all when he looked at the fold in his hand, and several brocade-clothed guards rushed into the hall and ignored his pleas, dragging him outside the hall, and after a while, he heard a scream from outside.

Lao Zhu turned a deaf ear, walked to Li Wenzhong's side, and said angrily: "You gave birth to a good son!" ”

Li Wenzhong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Weichen has no way to teach, wait for him to come back and ask the emperor to punish him severely to set an example!" "Actually, he is also a second monk who is confused, Li Jinglong is just a small thousand households, how can he affect Feng Sheng's affairs.

Lao Zhu glanced at Chang Yuchun who was snickering again, "What are you laughing at, you not only have a good son but also a good brother-in-law!" ”

Chang Yuchun immediately couldn't laugh, and hurriedly knelt on the ground like Li Wenzhong to plead guilty.

Zhu Biao, who was standing at the top, turned around and asked, "Father, what happened in Liaodong?" ”

"You still ask, it's not all your good brother's basket!"

Lao Zhu is shameless, Zhu Di stabbed the basket, he didn't say it was his son, but said that he was Zhu Biao's brother, it is estimated that he didn't want this mischievous son at this time. He scolded for a while, and then re-boarded the Danqi and sat on the dragon chair, "The messenger Jinyi Wei immediately rushed to Liaodong to give me a clear understanding." ”

Feng Sheng really didn't understand what he said in the good news, because he didn't know very well that soon after the Ming army broke through the Mongol camp, Feng Sheng arrived with a large army and surrounded more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry fleeing to the northeast on the bank of the Baisha River.

More than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry did not have the courage to fight against the water, and when crossing the river, countless people were drowned and killed, and the river was so red that even the river was blocked, and only two or three out of ten escaped across the river.

Feng Sheng still did not give up, and continued to chase north with his people, constantly dividing his troops to recover the towns and walled forts along the way, so that Fu Youde could sit in Shenyang, and he himself returned to Guangning in mid-November.

He came back in such a hurry, naturally to figure out why a sure surrender would suddenly become a large-scale battle, and the good news was vague, but after all, he had to figure it out, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to Lao Zhu.

At this moment, he was sitting in the main hall of the Guangning Mansion, and the soldiers on both sides were standing with swords raised, and he was much more majestic than the prefect. As for the suspects, except for Zhu Di, who had a seat, the others stood under the hall headed by Lan Yu, and Feng Sheng also found a scribe to record on the side.

He made it very formal, and let Ma Du hold his daughter to witness the trial, which is not only related to the title of merit, but may even be related to the life of the family.

"All raise their heads and look into Ben Shuai's eyes!" Feng Sheng was shocked and roared: "Lan Yu, you say first, Ben Shuai asked you to chase King Yan, not only did you not obey Shuai's orders but went with him, when did you collude with him, and honestly answer that Ben Shuai is not so easy to fool." ”

Lan Yuyi arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to deceive the marshal, my subordinates have not colluded with King Yan beforehand, and acting with him is just greedy." ”

Feng Sheng stared at Lan Yu's eyes with burning eyes, they were all old and sophisticated people, he naturally knew whether he was telling the truth or a lie, and snorted in his nose, "What a greedy person, rushing into the 200,000 enemy camp with more than 10,000 people, it is indeed a great merit, rewarding that is the emperor's business, this commander can only punish you!" ”

"But with the handsome, the subordinates will never complain!"

"It's enough to kill your head if you don't obey the commander's order, read your merits and spare your life, and you kill the generals and colonels, this account can't be confused, pull it out and beat sixty military sticks together!"

Disobeying the commander's order is indeed enough to cut off the head in the army, but no duke has dared to cut off the marquis's head, after all, it is Lao Zhu's patent. Thinking that Ma Du was beaten by Chang Yuchun for twenty military sticks, it was already painful to die, and these sixty military sticks must be enough for Lan Yu to bear.

Lan Yu began to shout injustice, "Dashuai, it's true that his subordinates killed those thousand households, but he didn't listen to the order before the battle, and he had no choice but to kill him!" ”

"Humph! Even if he keeps ordering, he should have his own handsome to deal with it, and it is not your turn to act as a substitute. Feng Sheng said to the soldiers who were about to pull Lan Yu to be tortured: "Don't worry, when the trial is over, they will fight together." ”

He looked at Li Jinglong beside Lan Yu, and asked, "Li Jinglong, why did you bring troops to follow King Yan to mess around, did you collude with him beforehand!" ”

Zhu Di said: "Feng Gong, what do you mean by this, this king didn't do anything unseemly, you colluded with each other, and those who don't know think that this king still thinks that this king has conspired to rebel." ”

"It's Wei Chen's inappropriate words, which will make amends to His Highness." Feng Sheng got up, arched his hand at Zhu Di, sat down again, and said to Li Jinglong, "Have you discussed this matter with King Yan beforehand?" ”

Li Jinglong said very simply: "I haven't discussed, Your Highness asked me to go, I went, completely out of righteousness." ”

"It's a good righteousness, but if you ignore the court's plan to surrender and ignore the commander, you will have to pay the price, and you won't be able to run away with twenty military sticks!" Feng Sheng pointed to Ping'an, "Usually you are smart and clever, how can you do such a bastard thing." ”

Ping'an smiled and said: "The two thousand men and horses were brought by Li Jinglong, and the subordinates just followed behind to watch the excitement, at most they left the camp without permission, and besides, didn't the marshal say, let me and Jiujiang protect King Yan, and the subordinates are also carrying out your orders in the end." ”

"Hey...... That's really good, you really didn't make any big mistakes, leaving the camp without permission is just a minor mistake, and Ben Shuai exempted you from punishment. Feng Sheng smiled, "With such a smart and clever son, he can be blind under Jiuquan, but if he is too smart, he will become a slippery head, so I will teach my son a lesson for my old brother, thirty sticks!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Jinglong couldn't help but laugh so loudly that even snot flew out, and Zhu Di laughed gloatingly, "Ping'an, you are smart but you are mistaken by smart, you are more than Jiujiang and you will be beaten by ten sticks." ”

Ping'an didn't care, "You didn't hear clearly what the marshal said was thirty sticks and not thirty military sticks, thank you for the marshal's teachings!" ”

Feng Sheng smiled and nodded, but suddenly shouted, "Chang Mao! What is your crime of killing a vassal? ”

His voice almost roared, like thunder, Ma Du's eardrums were shaken by him, and he covered Bi Lin's ears, "Da Shuai is angry, don't scare the child." Although Chang Mao is usually a little reckless, he is not a person who does not know the severity, he will not kill Naha for no reason, doesn't he say that Naha is deceitful? ”

Feng Sheng and Chang Mao are a pair of genuine sons-in-law in history, Chang Mao also followed Feng Sheng to conquer Naha, because he heard that his subordinates said that Naha was suspected of surrendering, so he slashed Naha out at the banquet, almost ruining the court's plan to surrender, and Lao Zhu was furious about it.

Weng and his son-in-law not only did not report to the group for warmth, but also blamed each other in front of Lao Zhu after returning to Yingtian. Speaking of which, Chang Mao is still at a loss, even if Naha really surrenders, he should not be so reckless, and in the end, Lao Zhu cut Chang Mao's title and sent him to Longzhou, Guangxi.

Some people say that Chang Mao died in Longzhou, and some people say that Chang Mao took the opportunity to escape and escaped the bloody years, and it is more accurate to say that he went to Yunnan to defect to Mu Ying, whether it is true or false is not verified, anyway, in the 21st century, there are a group of Chang clansmen in Yunnan who claim to be the descendants of Kaiping Queen.

Because of the fluttering of Ma Du's little butterfly, Chang Mao and Feng Sheng failed to become Weng's sons-in-law, but history was stubbornly staged, and once again because of Naha's expulsion, the two were entangled together.

Chang Mao hadn't spoken yet, Lan Yu had already spoken first, "Uncle Guo is right, my nephew is a rectum, he said that Naha surrendered, then he was not talking nonsense, he must have gotten some news." ”

"Asking you to stay here is not for you to excuse your nephew, he has his own mouth for him to say!" Feng Sheng looked at Chang Mao Zhengse and said: "The crimes of several of them can be big or small, and they can even be said to be dispensable, only the evidence of your murder is conclusive, so many pairs of eyes look at it, and the matter is also because of you." I hope you can say that you are ugly, otherwise you will not be able to protect you. ”

Chang Mao didn't say a word from the beginning, swallowing saliva in his throat from time to time to see that he was a little nervous, it is estimated that he only realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, but he couldn't turn back and could only grit his teeth to resist to the end, "Du Du is right, Naha is a fraudulent surrender, I will kill them just now, and it is also meritorious!" He craned his neck like a sculpture, but he couldn't hide the emptiness on his face.

"Humph! It's a good meritorious, even if Naha is really a fraud, you should immediately report to the commander and deal with it, whoever gave you the courage to kill them all! Feng Sheng angrily slapped the table with a startled log, and the sawdust fell from under the case, leaving a thin layer on the ground.

Ma Du hurriedly persuaded: "Naha is the first to deceive and surrender, and if he deceives the king, he will not escape death in front of the emperor." Besides, if it weren't for the death of the Mongol generals, how could we win more with less, and easily break through the enemy's camp, even if Chang Mao has no merit, the emperor will punish him. ”

Feng Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't believe that Naha will surrender by fraud, but in fact, Ben Shuai doesn't believe it either." Naha out of the Mongolian four Jiemu Huali, after the man is still a little backbone, he was captured in the Taiping Emperor that year, he said that he was unwilling to insult the ancestors of the wise and would rather die than surrender, at that time the marshal was also present, even if the barbarians were admirable, the emperor could not bear to kill him and let him go. Now that Naha has received the emperor's holy decree, whether he is sincere or helpless, his ancestor's face has been lost, and he himself has no face to return to the Mobei grassland, and there is no reason to surrender by fraud. ”

"Dashuai, this person's heart is difficult to figure out, maybe Naha will be shameless, and he will surrender for the sake of his family."

"Ma Hou, don't excuse him anymore, otherwise Ben Shuai will suspect that he was instructed by you." Feng Sheng looked at Chang Mao again and said, "Chang Mao, since you said that Naha surrendered by fraud, is there any evidence?" ”

"Yes, of course! It was someone else who told me personally, and I heard it clearly, how could it be fake! ”

"Oh? The handsome man should ask who told you and who is the name. ”

Chang Mao subconsciously glanced at Bi Lin, but his finger pointed at Zhu Di who was crossing Erlang's legs, "It was His Royal Highness King Yan who told me, and it was King Yan who first snatched my short gun and killed Naha's son, and my own soldiers can testify." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "That's right, it was this king who told Chang Mao, and it was indeed the first king to kill Naha's son." ”

Hearing him say this, Ma Du and Lan Yu's heart breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them had heard Chang Mao say this set of rhetoric before, but as courtiers, it was not good for them to splash dirty water on Lao Zhu's son, whether it was true or not, it would be best if Zhu Di was willing to take it on his body.

Feng Sheng asked, "How does Your Highness know?" ”

"It's very simple, Naha went out to talk to his family and revealed it, and the king heard it with his own ears outside the tent!"

Feng Sheng smiled and asked, "Your Highness also understands Mongolian, why don't you say a few words." ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Zhu Di's black face was so red that he didn't say half a sentence for a long time, and suddenly heard a crisp voice say: "My cousin doesn't know Mongolian, I told my eldest uncle!" ”
