Shang Huaiying entered, walked quickly to the throne and saluted, "Your Majesty, King Yue intercepted the Tartar thieves twice in the north, beheaded a total of one hundred and fifteen levels, and did not let go of a single Tartar thief. ”

The emperor stood up straight, his face full of joy mixed with a trace of doubt, and only after a long time did he say "flat".

The hundred officials in the hall were even more shocked, and they saw that many people were looking at each other blankly, and the doubts were all written on their faces, which seemed very exaggerated, as if they suddenly saw the sun coming out of the west.

"How many guards and Yuefu guards are left with King Yue?" Walking in the military department, Shangshu Wang Ji said blankly.

Shang Huaiying glanced at Wang Ji, turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, seven people were killed in the battle by the pro-guard army and the Yuefu guard, and more than ten people were injured. ”

What the! Only seven people died? For Wang Ji, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, the exchange ratio of battle losses between the pro-guard army and the escort army is so low, what does it mean, he naturally knows it well, when he led a large army to conquer the remaining Tatar troops that have become frightened birds, the bloodshed is still vivid, and the heavy casualties of the Ming army have become an eternal pain in his heart. After a moment, Wang Ji's face was filled with sincere relief, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" All the officials bowed in unison.

For the first time, the young Son of Heaven made an arbitrary decision on the affairs of the society, and his sanctity had been perfectly confirmed, and the emperor was naturally overjoyed. However, the myth of Warat's invincibility has been shattered, which makes him suddenly forget about the matter of entering and suppressing Sirenfa, and his mind falls on Warat's head, and his dormant pride is reawakened. "Master Yue Wangwei, do you want to play Kai again?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Shang Huaiying bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it's just that the grain and grass on King Yue's side are not good, and I ask Your Majesty to issue an order." ”

"It's not difficult to do this, there is plenty of grain and grass in Baoan Prefecture." The emperor slowly walked down the imperial platform, "Oh, how is the record of the pro-guard army?" ”

"Your Majesty, Jiang Yi led the crowd to kill five Tartar thieves, and Zhao Gang, the deputy thousand, led the crowd to kill twenty-one Tartar thieves."

The emperor was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

At this moment, this boring battle that was criticized by later generations was suddenly put aside by the emperor, in this regard, the civil and military officials were silent, but Wang Zhen chose to open his mouth at this time: "Your Majesty, last year, the Duke of Qianguo led the Yunnan army to suppress the thieves of Si Renfa, and it was a pity that the thief leader escaped. Now that His Majesty personally ordered the troops and generals, he will definitely be able to complete his work in one battle, and let Si Ren send the Fa to ambush. ”

Wang Zhen's mind is not difficult to understand: if the Ming Dynasty wants to revitalize the army out of the country and hit the Wara army, this matter is extremely difficult, and it is not difficult to conquer Si Renfa such a rogue who hides in Tibet, once he wins, he can show the martial arts of the Son of Heaven, and the glory of victory is all unique to the Son of Heaven, and no prince has a share of the glory, so the military significance of the Battle of Luchuan is not large, but the political significance should not be underestimated.

Many historians are suspected of deliberately vilifying eunuchs, and future generations must objectively screen historical materials in order to make a logical combing of many historical events. Take Wang Zhen as an example, as a slave of the Son of Heaven, he is naturally a protector, and the original intention of the pre-government may stem from his loyalty to the Son of Heaven. As for the overflow of selfish desires after the power is overwhelming, it can only be a different matter, and the ministers and ministers are no different.

The emperor seemed to have accepted Wang Zhen's loyalty, and looked at Wang Zhen deeply, "Sir, this matter is not in a hurry." ”

Mr? I saw that some of the officials secretly pouted.

Yang Pu, who had been silent for a long time, stretched his head into the ear of Yang Rong, who was lonely, and called his words, "Brother Mian Ren, King Yue has five hundred personal guards, and there is also a Shang Huaiying, in other words, it is rare to be able to take precautions, and King Yue is more than that, pinching the people with their own hearts together, and using all their strength to be consistent with the outside world, with this intelligence, it should also make you and I sincerely admire." Raising his eyes to look at Wang Zhen, he lowered his voice very low, "The person in front of him has too many eyes, and he has put his mind on the head of hundreds of officials, he is the person who is really difficult to deal with." ”

Yang Rong glanced at Yang Pu indifferently, walked towards the emperor, and seemed to flick his sleeves lightly before leaving.

"Your Majesty, please send your respects."

The hall was filled with a strong sense of joy, so Yang Rong's rash resignation was extremely unexpected, the emperor was stunned when he heard this, and said slowly: "Yang Qing is my minister, he has been an assistant for many years, and he has worked hard, if I have any mistakes, Yang Qing might as well say bluntly, why abandon me?" ”

Yang Rong lowered his head slightly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he became dim, and knelt on the ground, "Thank you for Your Majesty's mercy." The minister has been away from his hometown for many years and has not returned for a long time, so he implores him to return to his hometown to sweep the tomb and worship his ancestors, hoping that His Majesty will grant permission. ”

The emperor helped Yang Rong up, with a smile in his eyes, but his face looked indifferent, "Be cautious and chase away, and the people's morality will be good." That being the case, how can I vain Gu Qing's kindness? Quasi-play! ”

Wang Zhen threw a complicated glance at Yang Rong, and at the moment when Yang Rong silently walked out of the Wuying Hall after his majesty's resignation, the hundred officials turned their heads to look at the back of Yang Rong's head with a few wisps of vicissitudes, and after a while, there was already snow flying outside the door, covering the back of a lone person, as if announcing the official end of an era.

······

The thick snow covered the earth, hiding all sharp edges and corners, and even on the top of the knife-like cliff, the layer of snow showed a gentle arc, and when the sun shone, it was white, and the sky was even bluer.

"Shi Feng, slow down, wait for this king!"

Zhu Qiming galloped on his horse, and Wang Lie beside him was so excited that he screamed a few times, and his eyes lit up with two points of snow.

"Your Highness, that's a stupid roe deer, it doesn't have enough stamina, and most of it will be caught by Shi Feng."

"Silly roe deer? Why is it called a stupid roe deer? ”

"The roe deer is very curious, if the hunter misses a blow and let the roe deer escape, then the roe deer will return to the same place to see what is going on, it is easy to be ambushed by the hunter, it is really curiosity that kills the roe deer!"

"Yo ho ho!" A few feet ahead, Shi Feng shouted loudly, holding the reins of his horse in one hand and waving his bow in the other.

More than ten zhang away, the wild roe deer suddenly stopped, looked back at Shi Feng, his eyes exuded a soft luster, and he looked cute.

Don't run yet, fool! Zhu Qiming was about to make a sound, but when he saw the roe deer screaming, he turned around and ran wildly again.

"Shi Feng, don't let go of the arrows if you have a kind!" Seeing that Shi Feng was bending his bow and arrows, Zhu Qiming said hurriedly.

Shi Feng turned his head and hurriedly glanced back, and when he turned to look ahead, the roe deer suddenly changed direction, and Shi Feng unloaded the strength in his hand with a little frustration.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen meat for many days, and today I finally caught a living creature, and the small one didn't dare to let it go."

Before the words fell, Shi Feng saw the opportunity and bent his bow and arrows again.

Suddenly, I saw the roe deer burrowing into the snow, and its body was completely exposed except for its head. This scene surprised Zhu Qiming.

Shi Feng slowed down his horse, galloped slowly close to the roe deer, and lowered his bow and arrows, as if he was in trouble trying to shoot or capture.

The sound of hooves ticking behind kept ringing, and Wang Lie came to Shi Feng's side in a blink of an eye, "Shi Feng, could it be that you have also become a stupid roe deer?" If you don't do it again, be careful that it slows down and slips away! ”

Shi Feng raised his bow and was about to exert his strength, but when he saw Zhu Qiming arrive quickly, he held down Shi Feng's bow and arrow with one hand, "That's it, let's go out of the camp just to see the freshness, now that the freshness is enough, don't hurry back!" ”

"Your Highness, don't you want to eat meat?" Wang Lie said in surprise, his body swaying gently with the horse's slow pace.

"Think, if this king wants to eat wolf meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch it!" Zhu Qiming glanced at the two of them, turned his horse's head, and looked back: "What are you hesitating about?" Beware of the warning signal, the fighter plane is missing! ”

With a sound of land, Zhu Qiming instigated the war horse. "It's a pity!" Shi Feng and Wang Lie threw a reluctant glance at the roe deer, and reluctantly rode their horses to follow.

"Yo hehe!" Zhu Qiming followed the example of Shi Feng and Wang Lie, and shouted excitedly, and the dazzling sunlight made him squint his eyes slightly.

"Yo hehe!"

The harmony of Shi Feng and Wang Lie alarmed the resident birds in the forest in the distance, but they saw a few black shadows passing through the air.

Dozens of feet away from the camp, Zhu Qiming saw the flag waving in front of him at a glance, and a carriage slowly galloped in.

Zhu Qiming accelerated for a while, then lowered the speed of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins of the horse to Wang Lie behind him.

Wang Lie squinted at the convoy, "Sending grain and grass is under the banner of slipping, what a big show!" ”

"Build momentum with the flag, at a glance, you can see that it is the style of the guards, hum, play a false trick!" Shi Feng was the last to dismount, and seemed to be still frustrated by the delicious meal that slipped away for no reason.

"Your Highness!"

Zhu Qiming followed the prestige, and saw that Shang Huaiying had left the convoy and galloped over.

"Your Highness." Shang Huaiying turned over and dismounted, his feet slipped on the snow, and he staggered, but his face was full of smiles, and he was not half panicked. "The emperor ordered that sufficient grain and grass were transferred from Baoanzhou, but the snowy road was difficult to walk, and the sprinkler family was a step late."

"There is a father-in-law of labor and business."

Zhu Qiming greeted him, and saw many soldiers rushing towards him.

"Your Highness, the Sprinkle family has brought five carts of pork and five carts of mutton!" Shang Huaiying suddenly raised his voice, as if he was deliberately appetizing.

But when I heard a grunt, needless to say, it must be the pro-guards and the guards who were swallowing saliva.

"Five carts of pork? Five carts of mutton? That can't be piled up into a hill! We can take care of one bowl of meat a day! ”

The crowd burst into cheers.

"This is the emperor's great reward, and there will be another heavy reward after returning to Beijing!" Shang Huaiying shouted a few words at everyone, turned around and came to Zhu Qiming's side and whispered: "Your Highness, the Sprinkle family heard that the second war against Si Renfa is about to start. "Turning his head to look around," the emperor seemed to be a little hesitant. ”

Zhu Qiming was stunned, and couldn't help but turn his head to look north, and the distance might be facing the monolithic castle that he thought about day and night!
