Princess Zhu Lixin of Anqing has been demoted to a concubine, so naturally she can no longer use the princess's dependence, and even in her clothing, she is mainly plain, in order to take care of her emotions, Princess Ningguo is also light and simple, wearing a plain dress, even from the person and even the car is the most ordinary style, so no one knows that this is the car of the eldest princess of Ningguo.

Princess Ning Guo lifted the curtain and looked at it for a while, confirmed what she was thinking, and ordered the coachman to drive away.

On the way back, a hurried carriage almost collided with Princess Ningguo's car, but fortunately, the horsemen on both sides were skilled enough to avoid a car accident, Princess Ningguo's guards wanted to scold, but Princess Ningguo shook her head and stopped the guards, because she recognized the other party and didn't want to have anything to do with it; And the other party also thought that Princess Ningguo was just an ordinary person, so she apologized a little and left.

Looking at the other party's back, Princess Ningguo shook her head and sighed in a low voice: "What a retribution, Zhao Xian in the past, Erleboke today, Your Majesty, now that Mongolia has not been destroyed, are you a little anxious?" Alas......"

......

Qianqing Palace.

Liu Zhen hurriedly walked to Zhu Yunwen's side, lowered his head and whispered a few words beside him, Zhu Yunwen raised his eyelids, indicating that he knew, Liu Zhen retreated silently.

After a long time, Zhu Yunwen put down the fold, greeted Xie Jin, who was standing, and said: "Spread my will, so that Lelang will command Mei Yin to return to Beijing to report on his work, and Lelang's garrison will return to Licheng Hou Shengyong to control it." ”

"In addition, an edict was issued to Sheng Yong, ordering him to exterminate Li Fangyuan before April 15, it is best to capture him alive, but it is really not good, and he can also die."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After giving the order, Zhu Yunwen stood up: "Mian Ren, you go to the courtyard with me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

It was already March, and the air was filled with the fragrance of spring flowers, Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, and suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable.

Looking at Yang Rong, who was half a step behind him, Zhu Yunwen smiled: "Mian Ren, don't be so restrained!" I won't eat you again! ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!"

Zhu Yunwen found that his words not only did not adjust the atmosphere, but made Yang Rong more restrained, and couldn't help but shake his head.

After walking around the courtyard for half a circle, Zhu Yunwen suddenly stopped, and Yang Rong followed suit, and hurriedly stopped.

"Mian Ren, what do you think of Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan's military reports?"

Listening to the emperor's calm voice, Yang Rong felt a pang in his heart, he pondered his words, and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the military reports of General Xu and Lord Tie are similar, they are both narrating the process of quelling the chaos in Shandong, and on the whole, the quelling of the chaos is still successful. General Xu adopted the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, attracting the rebellious army around Qingzhou to come to help, General Lu Zhen killed Lü Chongfei outside Qingzhou City, and General Qu Tao killed Cai Hanzhi outside Jimo City, so the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of the rebellious army have gone to the second. ”

"In the recent battle of Qingzhou, Wang Jingangnu and Qin Jingtian, who escaped by luck in Chuxian County, were killed on the spot, and the main force of the rebel army, the 'Protector Holy Army', was also wiped out, but it is a pity that the bandit leaders Tian Wanjia and Tian Yuer escaped into Langya Mountain by luck, but General Xu and Lord Tie have organized people to search the mountain, and the news of the capture of the bandit leader must come soon."

"Hehe, I hope so!"

Zhu Yunwen looked at the sky, was silent for a while, and said, "Mian Ren, do you think my strategy is wrong?" ”

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Yang Rong was startled, but immediately said: "The minister thinks it is correct, Lu Chongfei and Cai Hanzhi outside Qingzhou City were killed in the movement, and the main bandit capital was concentrated in the city, but unfortunately in the end the bandit leader ran away. ”

"Yes, he is guilty of the crime, but," Zhu Yunwen looked back at Yang Rong and said with a wry smile: "I really underestimated the enemy, I thought that the Beijing army plus the guards would be enough to pacify the thieves, so I wanted to finish the battle." It's just that I never expected that the White Lotus Sect bandits would be so fearless of death, Xu Huizu's camp was almost overwhelmed, and he had to mobilize reinforcements from the Guards, and as a result, the bandit leader escaped, what a pity! ”

While speaking, Zhu Yunwen clenched his hands into fists and knocked them a few times, feeling a little regretful.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to mind, the bandit leader just took the opportunity of the fog to escape from the gap in the movement of the guards, this kind of thing sometimes can't be helped, General Xu and Lord Tie have done their best!"

"Yes, they tried their best, but I was wondering if it would be better if Xu Huizu arrived in Qingzhou a month ago and attacked the city immediately?"

"This," a bead of sweat appeared on Yang Rong's forehead, and he hesitated for a moment: "I don't think it is necessary, at that time, our army's foothold was not stable, and the grain, grass, and gunpowder were insufficient, even if the siege was successful, it would be difficult to completely annihilate the chaotic army, if Tian Wanjia and Tian Yuer escaped at that time and gathered the remaining chaotic army, I am afraid that it would be difficult to clean up the matter." ”

"Bei Wei commanded Wei Qing to return to the division to raid the rebel army near Laiwu, and Ao Shanwei commanded Wang Zhen to defeat the thieves in Zhucheng, although it was meritorious, but it gave the Japanese a loophole, attacked and killed more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians in Aoshan, Weihai and other places, at most it can only be regarded as merit and demerit, General Xu and Lord Tie have already impeached them, there are thieves inside, and there are Japanese robbers outside, from this point of view, there is no problem with Your Majesty's policy of fighting safely."

"Well, Wei Qing and Wang Zhen have both gone to the fold to ask for guilt, and they are on my desk!"

"So Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about Lord Tie's performance, to be honest, the minister thinks that Lord Tie is suspected of hindsight, if he has that kind of insight, why didn't he go to the fold to oppose it earlier?"

Zhu Yunwen was silent in place for a while, then turned around and gently patted Yang Rong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mian Ren, you are very loyal and very good at talking, I am very happy." ”

After speaking, Zhu Yunwen turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Looking at the emperor's back, Yang Rong was expressionless, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and his footsteps did not stop, and he followed the emperor back to the main hall.

Joo Yunwen himself is not sure whether Tie Hyun's accusation is justified, but it is also true that Tie Hyun did not object in advance. It's just that Zhu Yunwen knows what Yang Rong didn't say, this quelling of the rebellion is actually equivalent to a rehearsal of military reform, the supervision system has just been implemented, and the commander-in-chief of the front line, Xu Huizu, is afraid that he will be suspicious and dare not take a step beyond Lei Chi, so he does not dare to raise objections to his strategy, and the supervision envoy only has the right to supervise, and has no power to interfere with military command.

As for Xu Huizu, he inherited the cautious style of his father Xu Da, and took the initiative to confess his guilt without the slightest complaint. This, to a certain extent, Zhu Yunwen is very satisfied.

In addition, Zhu Yunwen was indeed shocked, Xu Huizu said in the recital: "...... On that day, a heavy fog suddenly appeared, and the bandits took advantage of the chaos to go out of the city and storm the camp. ”

"The bandits in the front row are not very good at equestrian skills, and they are poorly equipped, but they all tie themselves to their horses, and they are dressed in white and wear white belts on their heads, and they look like crazy, and they shout: 'Motherless, Mida is born!' ”

"They leapt out of the white mist, fearless of death, and the last general ordered a counterattack...... Arrows rained down and muskets rang out...... Although the rebel army was suffering from casualties, it did not flinch, and in the fog, it seemed that there was a steady stream of ......"

"Although the Beijing army was elite, it gradually wavered, and the battle front tended to collapse......"

"In the fog, the last general can only mobilize the elite Guards reinforcements, and only they can mobilize in this situation without confusion......"

"God bless my emperor, when the guards arrived, the dense fog began to disperse, and the last general ordered a fierce attack, the two armies flanked, and the bandit army was crushed......"

“......”

"After defeating the rebel army, our army occupied Qingzhou City, and when we counted the results, we found that Wang Jingangnu and Qin Jingtian were killed, but it was a pity that Tian Wanjia, Tian Yuer and others took advantage of the chaos to flee into Langya Mountain."

“......”
