When the master and slave were talking to themselves, a little eunuch suddenly poked his head out of the side hall, taking advantage of Chongzhen's lack of attention, squeezing his eyebrows at Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen saw his own grandson's style, and thought that the other party must have something to tell him, so he left Chongzhen under the pretext of leaving Chongzhen and walked to the side hall in broken steps.

"Li Leqing, what's the matter?" When Wang Chengen came to his godgrandson, he put away the previous respectful feeling in front of the emperor without a trace, and asked such a question with a very majestic look.

"Back to the ancestors, Wen Ge Lao and Zhang Da Sima are here, and they want to ask to see the emperor, the small ones look at their appearance, but they are happy, nine times out of ten, they are here to report the victory, and the small ones let them wait outside, and they are here to tell you." Li Leqing replied with a smile.

"Are Elder Wen Ge and Zhang Da Sima really very happy?" Wang Chengen asked again.

"But isn't it, if it weren't for the little one who stopped them in time and said that the master was resting, they would have waited obediently outside the main hall and called the little one to spread the word, and the little one would have come to tell you about it." Li Leqing said with a deeper smile.

"Well done, if they really bring good news, our family will guarantee you to walk in the celebrant supervisor, if you have your own creation, you can still be a pen and a hidden appearance." Wang Chengen smiled.

"The little one thanked the ancestors for their love." When Li Leqing heard this, his eyebrows curled when he smiled.

"Don't thank you slowly, if Elder Wen Ge and Zhang Dasima didn't come to report the good news, you would be rotten in your stomach just now, you can write it down." Wang Chengen suddenly restrained his smile and said coldly.

"The little ones know, the old ancestor, long live the master here, the little ones watch first, you go out to meet them first." Li Leqing said.

"Look closely, long live the master, who has been in a bad mood in recent days, and you should be careful to serve." Wang Chengen admonished.

"Long live the master, when will the mood of the master be better!" Li Leqing muttered in his heart, but he responded respectfully: "The little one has been written down." ”

"Hmm," Wang Chengen nodded, and then took small steps and walked out from the small door of the side hall.

Outside the hall of Wang Chengen's guide, he saw Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi waiting there with happy faces.

Now that Daming is in an eventful autumn, these two have always been sad, and now they suddenly smile like flowers, which must be a good thing, because the last time Wang Chengen saw these two come together, and when they came together with such a smile, it was when Lin Dan Khan Koubian of the Chahar Department was repulsed.

Now Wang Chengen thinks that there is no trouble in Jiannu at the moment, and the northern captives have also stopped, and the only place where the imperial court is still using troops is Shanxi, so it seems that Shanxi has a great victory.

As soon as Wang Chengen thought of this, he stepped forward, bowed with flat eyes, and said: "Elder Wen Ge, Da Sima, the two important ministers see your majesty at this time, I don't know what is going on?" ”

"Oh, Princess, you came out in person," Wen Tiren saw Wang Chengen come out in person, and immediately bowed deeply to Wang Chengen together with Zhang Fengyi.

"That's it, that's it, the two gentlemen are important ministers, worship me, eunuch, what kind of system." Wang Chengen waved his hand and said with a smile.

"The prince laughed, you often gave advice when you were around the emperor as a child, as if you were a hidden appearance, how can we not rely on the number of courtesies." Wen Tiren replied with a smile.

"Hey, how dare our family be the word hidden, it's just the two of you, forget it, don't talk about this, you two are now here to see the master Long live the master, I don't know what's going on?" Wang Chengen asked with a smile.

"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, the two of us came to ask to see the emperor at this time, but there was a good news." Zhang Fengyi is already very familiar with Wang Chengen's intention.

The previous Shandong pacification of Kong Youde, Shaanxi repelled Lin Dan Khan, since Zhang Fengyi and Wen Tiren came together to report the victory, every time Wang Chengen intercepted in time, grabbed a jackpot, and when there is any news of defeat in peacetime, Wang Gonggong is a fairy trail, and he can't even see a human figure, such a ability, even Zhang Fengyi is also very admired.

This time it was a big victory in Shanxi, and Wang Gonggong appeared in the right place and at the right time perfectly.

Sure enough, when Wang Chengen heard that there was a great victory, he immediately lifted his spirits and asked urgently: "Where is the great victory?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law's words, according to the report of Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, more than 300,000 thieves who had been poisoning Jindi for four years have all been exterminated, and the rescued people have been moved to Yansui Military Town, Shaanxi Province, and the thieves in Shanxi have been wiped out." Zhang Fengyi smiled and informed Wang Chengen of these reports.

When Wang Chengen heard this, the thoughts in his heart were finally verified, and he was overjoyed, and immediately said urgently: "The two of you are waiting here, and our family will go and tell the master long live." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he hurriedly walked into the main hall of Wuying Palace, and then ran to Chongzhen's side, and said urgently: "Long live the master, great joy, great joy, Shanxi's more than 300,000 thieves have all been exterminated, and the scourge of thieves who have plagued Shanxi for four years has been quelled and completely quelled." ”

"What, it's serious!?" When Chongzhen heard the news, he was surprised and stood up.

"How dare the old slave commit the crime of bullying the king, right now Wen Ge Lao and Zhang Da Sima are outside the main hall, and they are about to show you the good news from Shanxi." Wang Chengen replied.

"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you go and call them in," Chongzhen heard that there was good news, and he couldn't wait to go outside the main hall to see Song Shu.

"Yes, yes," Wang Chengen got the order, so he trotted away, ran outside the main hall with a snort, and said to Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi: "The emperor has an order, tell you two to go in quickly." ”

"There is Father-in-law Lao," Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi thanked Wang Chengen, and walked straight to the main hall, they saw that Chongzhen had not had time to salute, and then heard their emperor say urgently: "Excuse me, excuse me, show me the recital." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Fengyi saw that Chongzhen was so eager, so he handed over the report written by Xu Dingchen to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen handed it over to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen snatched the song from Wang Chengen's hand, glanced at ten lines, hurriedly read it, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Princess, your godsons are the first merit, it seems that your godfather is really good!" ”

This sentence of words without a beginning or end only shocked Wang Chengen's heart to jump out, he quickly knelt on the ground, and pleaded guiltily: "The old slave should die, when those few things come back, the old slave will discipline them." ”

"No, no, you get up, I know that this battle was won by Liu Renyu, without him, where did the victory come from, but he is still so young, he is already the chief soldier of Yansui, he will definitely have to make military merits in the future, if he is rewarded every time, and when he makes military merits, how should I reward him,

So, this time, your godsons will rob him of his credit, but he can't reward him heavily, and we can't treat his subordinates badly. Wen Aiqing, you and Zhang Aiqing discuss it, and you will show your merits according to this roster, but Liu Renyu can't be rewarded, he can only be promoted to a title, not a real position, and his subordinates can be rewarded more. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi replied in unison.

"That's it, you go down now, and take care of this promotion." Chongzhen commanded Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi.

"Yes, the emperor, the ministers obey the order." Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi are both smart people, otherwise they wouldn't be such a high official, they already know what the emperor means, Liu Renyu's strength is too strong, and he needs to promote the people under him to weaken his strength, which has nothing to do with loyalty or not, only about power checks and balances.

"The ministers are leaving." After Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi handed over the good news to Chongzhen, they went separately.

"Daban'er, now that the thieves have been pacified, only the Chahar Department of the Northern Captives is always in chaos for the time being, and now they are also scared by Hong Chengchou, I have the Jingbian Fort Army in my hands, the soldiers and horses of Cao Wenzhao's department, and the Liao Army, a strong army, do you say that you can exterminate the Jiannu that the temple master, the Guangmiao master and the Xi temple master failed to exterminate, and remove the elbow and armpit of my Ming henchmen in one fell swoop?" When Chongzhen said this, his face, which was pale because of his perennial hard work, seemed to be a lot more ruddy.

"Long live the master, don't say it, it's really possible, in the battle of the Great Ling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the slave chief Huang Taiji led the main force of Jiannu to engage our army, and was not defeated by our Great Ming Army, long live the master, you let Liu Renyu and Cao Wenzhao lead the troops to Liaodong and fight with Zu Dashou and them, and they will be able to destroy Jiannu." Wang Chengen thought about it and felt that there was a way to do this, so he echoed such a sentence.

"Well, Jiannu has been a disaster for more than 20 years, to eliminate them in one fell swoop, you still need to think long-term, Liu Renyu has a very good way to train soldiers, I might as well let him train more soldiers, but I am afraid that his tail will not fall, then all his subordinates will be promoted to the chief military officer, they will be at the same level, and they will no longer be monolithic, otherwise his Liu family army is extremely strong, but he can't destroy Jiannu, and go back and destroy me again." When Chongzhen said this, he couldn't help but laugh again.

"Long live the master, are you afraid that Liu Renyu will have a disobedient heart?" When Wang Chengen heard this, he was shocked for no reason.

"I heard that the Jingbian Fort under his rule has its own lineage, the ancestral law and discipline are gone, and his military power, financial power, and political power are all in one, isn't it An Lushan, Shi Siming's generation! Even Ma Tianjun, the commander of Ansai County, was also recommended by him, and I don't know what he meant by doing this?

I can't ask him, if I ask him, he is a loyal minister, and if his father suspects him, he will die, if he harbors evil intentions and raises troops to rebel, I am worried that no one on Xuanda's side will be able to stop him. When Chongzhen said this, he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"This ......" Wang Chengen felt that what Chongzhen said was very reasonable, but he still asked a little incomprehensibly: "Long live the master, Liu Renyu fought for the country and never asked for silver, in addition, I heard that he didn't even ask for much credit, and he didn't disturb the people wherever he passed, and he had the style of a king. ”

"Hehe, don't pay silver, all the soldiers under his command rely on him to feed, the soldiers don't know that there is a court, don't take credit, don't grudge with colleagues, protect yourself, accumulate strength, don't disturb the people, and invite people to buy people's hearts. Speaking of which, he is so good at being a man and doing things, but he doesn't want anything, which shows that he has a lot of ambitions, and this kind of person is the most terrifying.

But I hope that I will transfer him to fight Jiannu, and he and Zu Dashou will die together with Jiannu, so that my Ming Dynasty's external troubles and internal worries can be calmed down in one fell swoop. When Chongzhen said this, he suddenly shook his head again, and then said to himself: "According to Liu Renyu's style, he will never fight an unprepared battle when he fights, even if he destroys Jiannu, he is afraid that he will be unscathed, and I will always have to make plans in advance when the time comes." ”

When Chongzhen finished saying this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a cold breath came out of the soles of Wang Chengen's feet.

When you are not strong, you are a lackey of the court, and when you are too strong, you are a thorn in the side of the court, a thorn in the flesh.
