He took out the fold given by Lian Zining from his arms, held it high above his head, and said: "Emperor Master, this is a letter from our lords to you, I am stupid, I can't say clearly, the letter is the most clear." ”

When everyone heard him say that the cantata was a letter, they naturally laughed again, but they all stared at the cantata, just to know what was written on it.

Ma Yongcheng hurriedly walked down the jade steps, took the concerto, checked the fire paint, and after disassembling it, handed the piece inside to Zhengde.

Zhengde hurriedly shook off and watched carefully, he looked very carefully, and the joy on his face became stronger and stronger, and when he saw it, his eyebrows and mustache were already shaking.

He suddenly slapped the armrest, stood up, held the concerto, and laughed, looking extremely happy!

After laughing for a while, he shook the letter paper and exclaimed: "Lian Zining, a famous general!" Come, old horse, you read. ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Ma Yongcheng took over the concerto, and a sharp and long voice echoed in the hall

"Long live my emperor, the dragon is healthy, and the minister Lian Zining worships him.

In the fifty-second year of Zhengde, Jiannu sent 100,000 troops to attack the south, the enemy chief was Jiannu Haixi Jurchen Zhengnan general fortitude, Duoyan Sanwei Fuyu Wei sent 50,000 troops, the enemy chief was Fuyu Wei pseudo-Khan did not come out, 150,000 troops joined forces, besieged Xishenwei, the minister led the soldiers of the department, fought bloodily, fought fiercely for more than ten days, repelled the enemy Kou siege dozens of times, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, in the number of 30,000 or 20,000. The Chenwu Yi Army also suffered heavy casualties, with 13,000 dead in battle, more than 10,000 seriously wounded, and countless lightly wounded.

Fortunately, the emperor's grace is vast, and the enemy chieftain has changed his strategy because of heavy losses, besieging but not attacking, and only harassing with rangers every day, wanting to make my Ming undefeated and defeated, and the bandits are invincible and victorious!

If such a scenario continues for more than a month, Wu Yi's army will be exhausted. Caught in a desperate situation of certain death!

At that time, the minister deduced that Jiannu sent 100,000 troops to the hinterland of the Haixi Jurchens. It must have been empty, and the minister was determined to fight to the death. Chen led the only remaining cavalry of our Wuyi Army of 8,000, took advantage of the night to sneak out of Xishenwei by waterway, crossed the Songhua River, and attacked the hinterland of the Jurchens in Haixi.

My emperor is on top, and the ministers expected that there was no big miao. The Jurchen is on guard, empty and empty!

On the tenth day of the eighth month, the minister led the army to recover the Jurchen town of Salhu City, and beheaded three thousand Jurchen heads! Revert to its old name, Guru Hawei! On August 15, the minister led the army to recover the city of Wensar and beheaded the Jurchens with 8,300 heads! Restore its old name, Guli River Xiwei! August 23. The minister led the army to recover Yehecheng, the capital of the Jurchens in Haixi, and beheaded 6,700! Restore its old name, Demu Hewei!

Three battles and three victories. In addition, countless Jurchen towns and cities were swept away, and a total of 30,000 people were beheaded!

At this point, the Jiannu Haixi Jurchen has disappeared, and there are only tens of thousands of bandit troops under the Acropolis of Xishen. When the Jiannu bandits heard the news, they fled in a hurry. On September 12, on the bank of the Heilongjiang River, the Jiannu bandit army fought on the day, and the Jiannu suffered heavy losses and suffered more than 10,000 casualties. He retreated in a hurry and infiltrated the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, but the ministers did not obey the edict and did not dare to act rashly.

As for the Ministry of Ha Bu Ministry, he has repeatedly offended my Ming Dynasty, and his sins are unforgivable. The ministers will die, and they will never dare to make a gesture to escape, and they are raising up the remnants of the army and chasing after them with a drum.

After these battles, the minister's department was able to fight only 20,000 soldiers, and the losses were very heavy, and their situation was miserable, and they could not bear to see it, so they begged the Holy Emperor to have mercy, mercy on one or two, grain, grass and silver salary, and save the pensions and food of our soldiers, and the subjects of the Songhuajiang Department suffered heavy losses, and they were also in urgent need of grain for the purpose of settling down.

I wish me a long and long life. Wishing me a blessed life and good health.

Chen Lian Zining Bai worshipped, September 15, 52nd year of Zhengde, Ba Hulu. ”

After Ma Yongcheng finished reading it, all the ministers lost their voices, and when they heard the sentence 'Dangping Haixi Jurchen', they didn't feel much before, and they didn't feel anything, but the casualties were just a number. At this moment, I deeply realized the cruelty and fierceness of this war, and how difficult it was to achieve such a victory, but this victory was so vigorous! …,

This is a big victory accumulated from a series of bloody battles!

At this moment, everyone realized Lian Zining's military talent and Wu Yijun's strong combat effectiveness.

Dai Zhangpu, the left attendant of the military department, asked, "Is there a head?" ”

Liang Kuan blinked his eyes and said, "Yes!" When we came, the heads had already been nitrated, and they were brought together. But those carriages are moving slowly, I'm afraid they haven't reached the big city of Zhubang yet! ”

Zhengde's face was full of excitement, and he said loudly: "Lian Zining's battle is beautiful!" It's beautiful! Eight thousand iron cavalry attacked the hinterland, and they won successive battles, which is really a famous general of the ancients! This kind of record is comparable to Han Zhiwei Qinghuo going to illness, Tang Zhi Li Ji Su Dingfang! Hahaha, I have this famous general, why worry about the border? The Haixi Jurchen has been flattened, and she can't shake up any wind and waves anymore, so she is relieved! It's really relieving! From my point of view, this is the most brilliant victory of our Zhengde Dynasty! ”

Naturally, some people disagree with what he said, after all, the generals are certainly a one-sided reason, but they are not decisive, but they naturally dare not open their mouths to sweep the emperor's interest now.

Dong Qichang was the first to see the opportunity, and said loudly: "Minister, congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won this famous general!" This is my blessing! God bless me! ”

The ministers of the palace also shouted in unison: "Ministers, congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won this famous general!" This is my blessing! God bless me! ”

Zhengde laughed triumphantly.

And at this moment, all the glory is attributed to Lian Zining, who is three thousand miles away, since today, he has faintly occupied the throne of the first general of the Ming Dynasty, and the title of this ancient famous general is really on his head!

After a long time, the tsunami-like sound of the mountain fell silent.

Zhengde said to Jiang Bin: "Loyal Hou, this time Wu Yibo is a real credit, you Meng Lang." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister was terrified. Jiang Bin hurriedly snorted and excused himself.

However, he was not afraid at all in his heart, he knew that in the environment just now, he needed someone to stand up and question it, although the emperor verbally reprimanded, but he must have thought of his own intimacy in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhengde waved his hand and said: "You are also a hard worker, for fear that Lian Zining will do something wrong, but I don't blame you, step down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Bin thanked him and retired into the ranks.

Yang Shen, who had never said a word, came out and said: "Your Majesty, as mentioned in Wu Yibo's recital, after a series of bloody battles, there were heavy losses, and there was a huge shortage of grain, grass, and silver. The situation is very difficult, do you want to discuss how to support the Songhua River first? ”

A flash of gratitude flashed in the eyes of Gui Cao, who was still kneeling, he knew that Yang Shen was also trying to exonerate himself, and he discussed Wu Yijun's matter today. The disposal of his own side will naturally be delayed, and maybe it can be delayed until tomorrow, and the work of this day in the middle is promising, and if you do something, you may be able to turn the danger into a disaster.

Yang Shen is this person. In the DPRK, he made a good relationship with the people, and did not oppress people with the prestige of the first assistant, and his own article talent and ability to govern the country were also top-notch, so his prestige was one of the best among the first assistants since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhengde nodded, glanced at Gui Cao, but frowned, and sneered: "Gui Cao." What are you still kneeling here? ”

Gui Cao was stunned, just thought that things had taken a turn for the better, but he didn't expect to change his elbow again.

Yang Shen was also shocked. The emperor's reaction like this is obviously going to be difficult to get along with Gui Cao. It is clear that today is determined to rectify Guicalyx, what is this Guicalyx doing? It made the emperor so annoying.

"Gui Cao, you should really thank Lian Zining. I listened to the news of the great victory in the Northeast and the Pingping of the Haixi Jurchens today, and I am really in a good mood, otherwise, you will have to go to squat in the Jinyi Guard's prison. After Zhengde finished speaking lightly, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Spread the decree, the military department is still the book Gui Cao." Dereliction of duty, failure to report the defeat at the border gate, and the intention to deceive the Holy Lord and block the Holy Hearing, it is really a heinous and unforgivable, and it should have been copied and beheaded. The extermination of the nine clans, Rannian has been working hard for many years, and the punishment is specially reduced and reduced within the share of hard work. Take away his official position, leave Beijing and return to his hometown within three days, and never enter Beijing again in this life! ”…,

"In addition, the general army of Datong Town is not in good hands, and it is called by the enemy, so he will be dismissed and sent to prison!"

Emperor Zhengde's indifferent and ruthless words echoed in the hall, Gui Cao's face was gray, his face was desperate, and his eyes seemed to be lifeless.

He knew he was finished! Ten years of hard study, forty years of officialdom climbing, countless intrigues day and night, those former glory and power, all with the words of this supreme, and gone with the wind.

As an official, he has come to an end.

The silence of the needle in the main hall could be heard, and the ministers were all shocked in their hearts, and they all guessed what Gui Cao had done, and he had angered the emperor like this!

To say that Gui Cao's previous official fortunes were very good, all the way was smooth, and last year he entered the cabinet four assistants from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, basically entering the highest hall of the entire Daming civil official group, and Gui Cao is not the boss, looking at the top three of the cabinet's ranking, if there is a third long and two short, he can make up for it, maybe he can go up further, leaning on.

Therefore, there are quite a few courtiers who are optimistic about his development potential, and since he replaced the fourth assistant of the cabinet, there have been many Beijing officials who have taken refuge in his disciples and worked for him. Even those local officials outside Beijing, every New Year's Day, there are many people who send their families to pull carts and give gifts to Gui Cao, and the outside of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War is also crowded, lively like a vegetable market.

It can be said that there are no less than fifty lackeys under his door in this court. But at this moment, everyone was silent, and no one dared to speak.

In the past, there were a lot of party struggles in the court, but at that time, it was the ministers and the ministers who were fighting, or the ministers collectively fighting with the emperor. The model adopted is basically that the pawns jump out and charge, and the big guys command behind, and at this time, the emperor plays more of the role of a referee, the so-called referee, and the ministers are the role of athletes. Even if the emperor was angry and hit thirty boards each, it was only a pawn who was beaten, and the big guys behind him could not be affected. And when the ministers united to fight with the emperor, the emperor was helpless and could only admit it.

But in this situation today, it is obvious that the emperor wants to pull Gui Cao out alone to fight-and it is indeed Gui Cao who accidentally gave the emperor a handle. That's not easy! When the ministers of the palace united to fight with the emperor before, first, they had to connect in tandem in advance, and second, they had to have a powerful person with enough prestige and high official position as the initiator, but now the emperor didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly made trouble, which caused everyone to be scattered. You must know that if a group of people jump out to oppose it, then the emperor will have to weigh it, and if one or two people go out, it will be for Gui Cao's funeral.

Obviously, no one wants to be the first bird.

Although Gui Cao had cultivated some henchmen in the Ministry of War, since he entered the cabinet. I don't care much about the affairs of the military department, these people have already been divided by Dai Zhangpu, the left waiter. At this time, Dai Zhangpu wished that he was unlucky, so naturally everyone jumped out.

Yang Shen looked left and right, and finally sighed lightly, looking at his nose and nose, his nose and his heart, and he was silent.

He understood that the Emperor had already made up his mind. At this time, jumping out and questioning yourself, not only is it useless, but it will cause a commotion. If you lose the emperor's trust, this first assistant will be the end.

Seeing that no one dared to object, Zhengde was even happier in his heart, and he waved his hand: "Pull him down!" ”

Then the imperial guard came in with a knife officer and dragged Gui Cao, who had been paralyzed into a puddle of flesh. Gui Cao's gray eyes suddenly burst into light, and he stared fiercely at Dai Zhangpu, who was expressionless on his face, with vicious resentment in his eyes. A raging flame that seems to burn! …,

He thought about it carefully for a long time just now, and he hadn't done anything during this time, but he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be too close to King Chu these days.

He regretted it in his heart at the moment, in fact, Gui Cao was also a smart person, and he also knew that participating in the emperor's family affairs was a taboo for people and ministers, but he saw that Zhengde was getting higher and higher, and some time ago there was news from the palace that he was vomiting blood and was in a coma, so he began to plan for his death. So this period of time is approaching with the promising fifth prince Chu Wang. A few days ago, he had a banquet in Yanhuilou, but he was shocked in his heart, his approach to King Chu was a very secret thing, but why was it known to the emperor? You must know that King Chu is also quite powerful in Jinyiwei, and King Chu was young. Smart and clever, quite loved by Emperor Zhengde, and once specially asked Jiang Bin, who was skilled in arching horses, to teach him how easy it was to ride a horse and shoot arrows, this friendship has always been there, so it is unlikely that Jinyi Wei will tell the truth!

He suddenly remembered that he was close to King Chu, and the person who introduced him was Dai Zhangpu?

Then the answer is also coming out.

If he falls, can the throne of the military department be cheaper than others?

However, he still has three points of reason, and knows that it is useless to say anything at this time, if he says those words, not only will it not help, but it will anger the emperor, and maybe he will not even be able to return to the countryside safely! At this moment, he had already turned countless insidious and vicious ideas in his heart, just thinking about the future and then making plans.

After Gui Cao was dragged down, sure enough, Emperor Zhengde glanced at Dai Zhangpu and said: "After Gui Cao goes, the military department is vacant, and the military department is the key point of my Ming court, and it cannot be stagnant for a day, especially when it is in these four wars, the responsibility is heavier." Dai Zhangpu, you have been an official in the Ministry of War, and you have been in the office of Zuo Shilang for a long time, and you are very familiar with the Ministry of War. ”

Dai Zhangpu stepped out, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Minister, Dai Zhangpu, thank you for your grace, I will definitely do my best, I think I am Ming!" ”

Zhengde nodded and encouraged: "Your talent, I can trust!" ”

Yang Shen also came out of the ranks, responded to the emperor's order, and said that after the next dynasty, he would convene the cabinet to discuss and come up with a candidate as soon as possible.

But everyone in the court can see it clearly, this military department is already in Dai Zhangpu's bag, and what more suitable candidate can the cabinet come up with than him? What's more, several auxiliary ministers in the cabinet have a good relationship with Dai Zhangpu, especially Yang Shen, the first assistant, who was the main marriage of the woman when Dai married his daughter!

This political storm like a storm came and went, lasting only a few minutes, but in such a short period of a few minutes, a cabinet minister who had been entrenched in the center of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years had been expelled and forced to return to his hometown, and there was no hope of recovery in this life. And another powerful person took advantage of this to climb another level.

The speed is jaw-dropping, and even now before many people can react, it has suddenly ended.

However, many people who are a little more flexible in their minds are already clear in their hearts, and the upper-level political pattern of the Ming Dynasty has changed because of this seemingly unshocking personnel change. Dai Zhangpu will inevitably become an extremely powerful political force that cannot be ignored!

You must know that this Master Shangshu of the New Science and Technology Department is a Jinshi of Zhengde for 37 years, and he is only forty-one this year! Just past the year of confusion, how many years has the Ming Dynasty not produced such a young chief official? Let's take a look at the other six chiefs, cabinet ministers, and even the chief officials of Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, and Honglu Temple, and the other high-level officials, which one is not an old man with gray hair and beard? Dai Zhangpu is only forty, if nothing else, there are at least thirty years of career to go, how far can he go in these thirty years?

Young, that's the number one advantage!

And don't forget, two years ago, he was just a member of the military department of the military department, and the future of the fifth grade was just that, in the past two years, he has already reached the peak of a literati who can walk in martial arts, and he is a dignified second-grade officer!

This is the pinnacle of Wenchen's grade - in the civil official sequence of the Ming Dynasty, except for the three dukes, three orphans, and three divisions are the first grade, the others, the highest is only the second grade. And there are almost no civil officials who can be knighted, so now this is almost the end of the second grade. (To be continued.)
