Chapter 166: Unknowingly poked a basket
For the New Year, what can be done in a hurry like this, so that Qi Zhengyu didn't even return home, and rushed to the General's Mansion to deliver the letter.
Wang Zheng asked what was so solemn, but he couldn't answer, but he said that the person who handed him the letter should be of a very high status, and a messenger came with it.
"Where is the messenger? Why don't you talk about such a big thing first? ”
Only then did Wang Zheng know that there was an unknown messenger waiting outside the door, a messenger from Beijing, and the messenger standing behind him could not be a mediocre person in any case, because it was really unreasonable to offend a trivial matter.
Qi Zhengyu was still speechless, Wang Zheng's tone softened a lot, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly:
"Alright, go and call the messenger in, and go home for the New Year."
"Hey!"
Seeing that Wang Zheng's voice was gentle, Qi Zhengyu also relaxed and turned his head to call the messenger in.
The so-called messenger looked very small and delicate, but it was not a woman, but a thin man, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, with many scars on his face, red hands and ears, and obviously suffered a lot along the way.
Wang Zheng instructed Xiao Cui to bring him a bowl of hot tea to warm his body, and he had to read the letter immediately, but no matter how anxious the messenger was, he would not take out the letter until he had checked Wang Zheng's seal.
Wang Zheng wondered in his heart, looking at it like this, what kind of great man is it?
After checking the seal, the messenger was relieved, and Wang Zheng took the letter and instructed Xiaocui to take him down and settle down, so that he could rest.
After thinking about it, he shouted again:
"Tell me to go down, without the order of the general, no one is allowed to approach the lobby, and you all go down."
After everyone retreated, Wang Zheng opened the letter cautiously, and the more he looked at it, the more frowning he became.
He didn't expect this person to write this letter anyway, he was a real big man, so big that even Liu Zeqing's godfather of Nanzhili Si Supervisor couldn't afford to provoke him.
This is a secret letter from the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the Beijing Division, and the content of the letter is very simple.
Wang Chengen has heard of this person, although this person is a eunuch, he is upright and the most loyal and patriotic eunuch in history.
The city of Jiashennian was ruined, and those civil officials who were full of benevolence and morality joined the new master, Wang Chenen was a eunuch, watching the country break down but there was nothing he could do, crying and accompanying Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself and martyr the country, and his backbone was a few mountains higher than those civil officials.
He didn't know if he had an account of greedy ink and silver, and he didn't care, he only knew that Wang Chengen, a person who was in a high position and was deeply appreciated by Emperor Chongzhen, suddenly wrote to him, something terrible must have happened on the Jingshi side.
There were only a few words on the letter, and Wang Chengen's tone in the letter was unpredictable, with both appreciation for this great victory and dissatisfaction and reprimand.
What I appreciate is that Wang Zheng's good news is real, and the head of the Tartar is also real.
You must know that Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou, the famous ministers and supervisors in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places, forced the rogues to retreat one after another, and the heads sent to Beijing were only dozens or hundreds.
As for the Qing army's entry into the Kou, although the merit report documents were like pieces of paper, the Tartar heads transported to Beijing from all over the country were not even one-tenth of the documents, and the routs and chaos were endless.
Here Wang Chengen's tone became stern, saying that Wang Zheng was "unfamiliar with the world", and warned Wang Zheng that this kind of low-level mistake should not be made again next time.
The implication is that this time he actually wants to protect Wang Zheng.
Speaking of which, your little Ninghai cucumber will behead eight hundred, although the good news is true, but directly use the right of the Wendeng camp to serve the heavenly hearing, and bypass the procedure to send the head to the Beijing division for reward.
This is too arrogant and domineering, such a great victory is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers out of the battle, and the famous ministers and superintendents have gained something from the formation.
You distinguish between guarding the staff and the generals, with less than 2,000 people, and annihilate the Qing army, which is not wrong in itself, but now at this time, you report truthfully, aren't you slapping the face of the governors and towns in various places.
Wang Zheng here is also bitter and can't say, he naturally knows the normal procedure of reporting merit, after the inspection of the local government office, send people to the Shandong General Army and the Denglai Governor, and they will take the song to the Beijing Division, and finally the Beijing Division Military Department will come down to inspect it, and then bring the head back.
Liu Zeqing's urine sex Wang Chengen didn't know, but Wang Zheng knew very well that it was not his own credit to send him to his eight achievements, and he was robbed once, so he was naturally unwilling to be robbed a second time.
That's why Wang Zheng used the right of Wendengying to cross Liu Zeqing this time, and he didn't know that there was such a thing at the time.
Wang Zheng knew that there were so many ridiculous rules in this officialdom, and he was both funny and disappointed at the moment.
This time, the king made a great contribution but unknowingly committed the anger of the people, if it was those generals who had no background at all, this time the court was afraid that they would immediately issue a document to ask people for guilt.
Speaking of which, Wang Zhengda has no background, but there are a lot of small local backgrounds.
Although the promotion to Ninghai General is a real meritorious achievement, there are also the care of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, Wang Dahu, the deputy chief soldier of Denglai, and Wu Weizhong, the chief soldier of Denglai.
However, these small relationships are placed in the imperial court, and the one who can speak is Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, and at most Sun Hualong, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, who saved his life because of Wang Zheng's merits.
Now that Wang Zheng has poked out such a big basket, the celebrant supervisor on Nan Zhili's side is also pressuring, even Yang Wenyue doesn't dare to say more, let alone Sun Hualong, who just escaped death and dares to intercede for others.
Originally, this document was to be reported to the military department after discussion, and then sent Jinyi Wei to Ninghai to get people, which is also the reason why Qi Zhengyu stayed in Beijing for a few months.
The competition inside and out, the depth of the water is terrible, Qi Zhengyu thought it was a beautiful trip this time, but he didn't think that it was a trip from the ghost gate, and he was more cautious than going into battle, and at that time Ninghai was still happily buying New Year's goods.
However, this time the document was forced down by Wang Chengen, and he did not report it to Emperor Chongzhen, but only submitted the document brought by Qi Zhengyu.
Speaking of which, Daming has not had this kind of good news for many years.
Wang Chengen is anxious every day, no more relaxed than the emperor, and now Ninghai's general Wang has won such a big victory, although his eyesight is a little worse, but he is also a plastic talent.
Let's keep it safe, what if he can bring even greater success after he is promoted?
Wang Chengen has been following Chongzhen when he was still His Royal Highness the King of Letters, Chongzhen's mind is clear to him, if the document is reported to the military department, it will definitely make the emperor in a dilemma, and it is not to be caught, and it is not to be caught.
Wang Chenen pressed down this document, which saved Chongzhen from a trouble.
The people in the capital can't figure out the north and the south, and many people secretly feel that it is tricky, maybe Cao Huachun and Cao's father-in-law also intend to protect the king?
Cao Huachun and Wang Chenen are both eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, but he is the most powerful, Wang Chenen has always been under Cao Huachun's door, and his meaning is not much different from Cao Huachun's meaning, which of these officials inside and outside cannot be provoked.
Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of War were also worried, and the celebrant supervisor on Nanzhili's side sent people to ask again and again, wanting to get rid of Wang Zheng.
But now the celebrant of Beizhili wants to protect it, and the eunuchs also have times when they are not happy, which is strange.
Nanzhili Tiannanhaibei, even the power of the eunuch in the palm seal is not as powerful as the Beizhili in the center of the imperial court, these officials naturally know the stakes at a glance, and no one mentions this matter again.
