Chapter 12: The Covenant of the Ruler and the Minister, for a Period of Five Years (2)
It was close to winter, although it was already in the Guannei, it seemed that the towering Shanhaiguan, even if it was a tiger standing on the dragon plate, but it still could not stop the cold wind blowing in Shuobei. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Outside the old camp, Hong Chengchou's resolute face was obviously a little dusty.
Coming out of the capital and traveling 800 miles overnight, this road is obviously not so comfortable, but the situation is critical, not to mention the emperor's order, Hong Chengchou naturally does not dare to slack off.
"Inspector Yuan really deserves his reputation!"
Looking at the old camp, there are many tents, but without losing the sense of neatness and solemnity, Hong Chengchou said with emotion.
However, just when Hong Chengchou was overwhelmed, a rush of footsteps sounded.
"Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan led his soldiers to welcome the angel!"
Hong Chengchou looked at the situation, and saw that the first person was burly and resolute, especially the pair of deep eyes, which were unconsciously felt majestic but cordial, which made Hong Chengchou a little lost for a while, but although they are both famous generals, it is common for the two to cherish each other, but with the emperor's order, Hong Chengchou quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile.
"Inspector Yuan is heavy, how can the lower officials be so unbearable as a junior, isn't it a torture for the lower officials."
Hong Chengchou is telling the truth, if it weren't for the emperor's order, his small Shaanxi senator would naturally not be able to compare with Yuan Chonghuan and other feudal officials, not to mention that Yuan Chonghuan has guarded Liaodong for several years, and has repeatedly saved the Ming Dynasty.
"Lord Hong is too modest, Lord Hong is a capable general under Inspector Yang, and his name is on three sides, Yuan has admired his name for a long time, but he has been fighting Liaodong for the imperial court all these years, and he has not had the opportunity to meet Lord Hong, but he is fortunate to see Yuan Mou Sansheng today!"
Although Yuan Chonghuan is an important minister, he is not old-fashioned, not to mention that he has entered the officialdom from the Jinshi of the Wanli Dynasty, and now it has been more than ten years, and the clichés in this natural officialdom are well understood, not to mention that Hong Chengchou is still a few years ahead of him, and he has also made many political achievements in Shaanxi over the years, and Yuan Chonghuan's words are not too cliché.
"No, no, the superintendent really doesn't dare to be Hong like this."
The two of them are polite, and it is already half a cup of tea.
"Inspector Yuan, the lower officials came this time because of the emperor's order, but they also asked the Inspector to accept the order."
After all, there is an imperial order, but after some politeness, Hong Chengchou immediately got to the point.
"Order? Could it be that the palace is about to do something to the handsome? ”
Hearing this, Zu Dashou felt a creaky sound in his heart.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had already taken the lead in kneeling on the ground and waiting for his will.
But seeing this, Hong Chengchou took out a colorful holy decree from his sleeve with a black rhinoceros horn shaft as the edge.
immediately lifted Yuan Chonghuan up from the ground with one hand.
"Inspector Yuan, when Your Majesty came to the lower officials, he personally told him, and this decree was read out by the Inspector himself."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Zu Dashou on the side was a little puzzled, but then he was shocked, and he was even more happy, because he saw the colorful holy decree.
Similarly, hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan was also obviously trembling, but after an instant, he recovered as before, and he understood that the colorful holy decree in front of him was the highest honor of the Ming Dynasty.
Back then, the old handsome Sun Chengzong supervised Ji Liao, who didn't enjoy such treatment, but today he never expected that he would enjoy it himself.
The officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army below were also happy in their hearts when they saw this colorful holy decree and the excited expression of their own commander, because in their opinion, this colorful holy decree was not only an honor for their old commander, but also an affirmation of the entire Liaodong Guanning Army, as a member of the Guanning Army, how could these generals not be excited?
"The edict said: At the time when the soldiers of the Golden Tiger and Wolf committed my Daming, and the country was in danger, Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the military department and the governor of Jiliao, personally led the Guanning Lion under his command to return to the division to save the driver, it can be seen that the ambition is loyal and pure, and he is the minister of my Ming Society, and I am very relieved.
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou also had a different color on his face, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
"Tobe Zuo Shilang, when did Your Majesty give me any promotion?"
It turned out that this will was after Hong Chengchou received the decree and thanked him, Zhu Jian personally dictated it, and Liu Hongxun personally wrote it, naturally the specific details of this Hong Chengchou are not clear, but the Holy Grace is favored, that is how many great Ming scholars can not be expected, and now to be able to get the trust of the emperor, there is nothing more important for Hong Chengchou than this, but why did the emperor let him be the left servant of the household, he was a little confused, but the holy grace is unpredictable, and he doesn't think much about it.
"Special reward for ten zhang of Shu brocade, 100 heads of cattle and sheep - on the day when my Ming soldiers break the enemy, I should personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!"
"Thanksgiving! Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”
With a thanksgiving, Hong Chengchou woke up from the previous confusion, and silently chanted in his heart, "Thank you for your grace!" Hong Chengchou's look of hesitation was seen by Yuan Chonghuan, thinking about what kind of person Yuan Chonghuan was, he naturally guessed the general situation of the matter, but stepped forward and smiled.
"Congratulations to Lord Hong!"
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou was stunned, but then his face was as usual and he smiled.
"Rejoice! Rejoice! We all rely on His Majesty Longen, but the day when Inspector Yuan breaks the enemy is only a few days away, and then it will all depend on the support of Inspector! ”
"What Lord Hong said is extremely true, we are all by the grace of the Son of Heaven, and we should be smeared with liver and brain, but if it is really as Lord Hong said in the future, how can Yuan not be served, Lord Hong, it is cold outside, please gather in the tent!"
"Just right, Inspector Yuan, please!"
"Please!"
The two entered the account hand in hand, but they left behind them, and all the generals looked at each other a little.
"Hey, Ancestor, do you understand?"
Cao Wenzhao's expression was all written on his face, and he said with a puzzled expression.
"Haha! You don't understand? ”
Zu Dashou laughed the same and asked rhetorically.
Although Zu Dashou is a military general, he is also delicate, otherwise he would not be a confidant for Yuan Chonghuan, in contrast, although Cao Wenzhao is brave and invincible, this delicate aspect is much inferior.
"I don't understand."
Seeing Zu Dashou ask about himself, Cao Wenzhao still shook his head and said helplessly.
"I don't understand, I don't understand, if you ask the overseer, I don't understand!"
"You! Hum! ”
was teased like Zu Dashou, Cao Wenzhao is also worthy of blowing his beard and glaring.
"Haha! Lao Cao! ”
Seeing that Cao Wenzhao was teased by himself, he finally moved back to the first game, but Zu Dashou smiled and went to the handsome tent.
"Lao Ma, do you understand?"
Cao Wenzhao saw Zu Dashou leaving with a smile, although his teeth were itchy with hatred, but he couldn't help it, but he turned his head to Ma Dengyun on the side and asked.
Ma Dengyun shook his head, Cao Wenzhao is his eldest brother, and the eldest brother doesn't understand, how can he understand.
Seeing Ma Dengyun shook his head, Cao Wenzhao suddenly laughed.
"You don't understand this!"
After that, he didn't look back, and walked towards the handsome tent in a very chic manner, but Ma Dengyun, who was on the side, was confused by the second monk, and said with a wry smile.
"To whom have I sinned? I. ”
Seeing this situation, Sun Zushou, He Kegang, Hei Longyun and others on the side smiled.
"General Ma, let's go!"
He Kegang patted Ma Dengyun's shoulder and said with a smile.
said that in the handsome tent, he had already drunk three rounds, and all the generals were drunk, but Yuan Chonghuan and Hong Chengchou were still sober.
"Lord Hong, has Your Majesty ever been well?"
Yuan Chonghuan asked.
"Shenggong'an, although Your Majesty was a little sick a few days ago, but at this time it is no problem, when the time comes for the official to make this trip, His Majesty wants to go down to the official on behalf of His Majesty He greeted Inspector Yuan, and His Majesty also said that His Majesty will bear the affairs of the court for you."
Hong Chengchou took a sip of wine in the cup and said.
"Your Majesty really—really said that."
Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan seemed to be a little excited, and he was a little choked up between his words.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan seemed to think of what Zu Dashou mentioned to him before.
"Your Majesty, did he even say that he wanted to bear it for Yuan-"
Yuan Chonghuan muttered a little.
"Inspector Yuan, Inspector Yuan-"
Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was suddenly in a trance, Hong Chengchou reminded softly.
After hearing Hong Chengchou's several calls, Yuan Chonghuan woke up from his previous thoughts, but found that he was a little rude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Yuan Chonghuan arched his hand in the direction of Beijing City.
"Lord Hong, Yuan has just been rude, don't be surprised!"
"The superintendent worries about the side affairs day and night, sharing the worries for His Majesty, how dare the subordinate blame the superintendent for being negligent."
Hong Chengchou smiled.
"That's good, that's good, Lord Hong, Yuan respects Lord Hong with a cup."
Yuan Chonghuan raised his glass and said.
"Wait, Inspector, Your Majesty has a secret decree for Inspector."
Hong Chengchou did not take the cup, but looked around the big tent, and after seeing that the crowd was getting drunk, he said.
"Oh."
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan's face was also tight, he knew that the emperor sent money so late at night, it was not as simple as rewarding a few cattle and sheep, but Hong Chengchou didn't say it before, and Yuan Chonghuan didn't want to ask.
"Lord Hong, please come with me."
Behind the tent is Yuan Chonghuan's sleeping place, and no one usually comes.
"Inspector Yuan, this is what His Majesty personally said to the lower officials when the lower officials came, and it was recorded by the lower officials according to the holy will."
After that, Hong Chengchou took out a brocade silk and handed it to Yuan Chonghuan on the side.
As a result, the brocade silk in Hong Chengchou's hand, after carefully inspecting it, Yuan Chonghuan's face was a little heavy, and the previous slight alcohol seemed to have been swept away in an instant.
"Inspector Yuan, Your Majesty also said that if this matter is really as Your Majesty said, he wants to make a five-year appointment with you, I wonder if the Inspector is willing?"
"What? Is Your Majesty really like that? ”
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan's face became more and more gloomy, but he was a little surprised.
"The lower officials dare not fake the holy decree when they die."
Hong Chengchou is very colorful.
"yes, yes, a five-year covenant—"
Yuan Chonghuan muttered a little.
