One Hundred and Thirty-Four Rapid Retreat (I)

When Lu Bing saw the emperor, Emperor Jiajing had already calmed down, although the duration of the three-minute heat had increased compared with before, it still did not increase enough to make Emperor Jiajing change his nature, so at this time he had closed his eyes and began to meditate, Lu Bing cautiously approached, Huang Jin moved Jin Dun'er to Lu Bing according to the usual example, Lu Bing did not dare to sit, so he stood in front of the emperor with his head down, waiting for orders.

"Sit down."

After a while, Emperor Jiajing's slow voice sounded: "The news just now has made me uneasy for a long time, and now I will calm down." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Jiajing stared at Lu Bing and spit out two words in his mouth: "Really? ”

Lu Bing comprehended: "Really." ”

Emperor Jiajing then asked, "Not adulterated?" ”

Lu Bing nodded and confirmed: "It's true, it's not adulterated, congratulations to Your Majesty, you finally got a good minister." ”

Emperor Jiajing Gujing Wubo showed a slight smile on his face, and then disappeared, his eyes flashed with strange brilliance, and he slowly spoke: "It's not that there are no good ministers under my hands, but the hearts of good ministers are not clean, and they won't think ******** about their own errands, thinking about how to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty, just thinking that if you fight for power and profit, you will do less and take more, so that even if you are a good minister, you have become a mediocre minister, and in the court, there are only a few good ministers who can share my worries, Lu Bing, you are one." ”

Lu Bing suddenly showed a grateful expression, stood up from his seat at once, and then knelt down, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty understands the minister!" Your Majesty understands the ministers! Even if the minister is broken, it's worth it, it's worth it! ”

Seeing this, Emperor Jiajing raised his hand and said in an unhurried tone: "Hey! What is this for, although I am complimenting you, you don't have to kneel down at every turn, right? There is gold under the man's knees, and I hope to get a man who can do things for me, not a eunuch who kneels at every turn! As he spoke, Emperor Jiajing's gaze fell on Mai Fu, the other great eunuch standing beside Huang Jin, and with just a flick, Mai Fu immediately knelt down......

Lu Bing knew that there was no other reason, the emperor pointed out that it was a daily habit to scold Huai, and it was also a normal practice after learning about the victory in the southeast, the emperor has always suppressed and rejected the eunuchs, it may be that the eunuch chaos during the Wuzong period left an indelible psychological shadow on the emperor, so after the emperor ascended the throne, even if he appointed eunuchs in order to limit the strength of the civil official group, he would beat them from time to time to let them know who they were.

As for Mai Fu, because of some meritorious reasons, he has a very high status among the eunuchs, and even took charge of the military power of the emperor's personal guards, Lu Bing vaguely knows that the relatives who wrote Mai Fu occupy some important positions in the southeast army, and there are some illegal things, of course, Lu Bing will tell the emperor what the emperor wants to do, it is his business, Lu Bing can't control it, maybe the emperor will not do anything to McFuk because of corruption, but Zheng Guang's groundbreaking battle The emperor was both happy and annoyed, so Mai Fu was going to suffer.

"I really can't imagine that in 20 years, hundreds of thousands of troops, and 100 generals, it is not worth a new army trained by a hairy boy who is less than 18 years old for a month. Or did you negotiate with the Japanese and they would run away as soon as the Japanese came, as long as they lived? Emperor Jiajing looked at Lu Bing and asked, but the corner of his eye was still paying attention to Mai Fu, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Huang Jin stood aside, obviously feeling the sad emotion of the rabbit and the fox.

Lu Bing naturally understood it, this is the emperor's daily homework to restrain the eunuchs, of course, it is necessary to cooperate: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister can't think of it, if this battle is not fought, the minister really can't imagine that Su Song's guards can defeat the Suzhou soldiers who enforce the law in front of the governor and the soldiers, and escape from the battlefield to take care of their lives, throw the governor and the soldiers in the dead domain, and go to survive by themselves, a full 30,000 guards, the minister's subordinates reported that seven or eight out of ten were not defeated, but fled." ”

In fact, Emperor Jiajing already knew some of these news, but it was not so detailed, in the early years, Lu Bing used less thought on the Nanzhen Fusi, and did not pay much attention to it, and the Jiajing Emperor himself did not pay much attention, so he didn't care, but in recent years, with the intensification of the Japanese trouble, the emperor began to gradually increase the amount of attention, and asked Lu Bing to reorganize the Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division, so that it and the Beizhen Fusi echoed each other, and together they mastered the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, so a few years later, Lu Bing began to grasp the amazing facts of the Southeast Guard.

Emperor Jiajing was naturally annoyed, and when he heard this, he was even more annoyed, originally taking into account the large number of guards, once they were disposed of, it might cause chaos in the southeast, but now, these people have developed to the point of abandoning Shangguan and fleeing for their lives, and they don't listen to orders at all, how can such an army be used to pacify the Japanese? No wonder Zheng Guang said that he had to recruit other troops to form a new army by himself, and he didn't want to use these ready-made soldiers.

These people can't be called soldiers at all.

After all, the problem of more than 100,000 people also involves some things in the court, Emperor Jiajing does not believe that the military generals in the southeast have not sent gifts to the ministers in the court to cover up their crimes, they each have their own protective umbrellas, so they have no fear, thinking that as the emperor, they must not be responsible for the public, and they have no energy to deal with them, so they are getting more and more carried away.

"Your Majesty, it's ridiculous to say, originally those generals and soldiers may think that everyone doesn't fight, and the court can't pursue so many people, so they have nothing to fear, but Zheng Guang's first battle has uncovered their fig leaf, and the people of the southeast have begun to widely question whether the guards are fighting with their hearts, whether they dare to fight, whether the generals have the heart of peace, if they have, why are they repeatedly defeated, Zheng Guang's seventeenth age with three thousand new troops can do it, they still can't do it with hundreds of thousands of people?" Lu Bing smiled and fanned the flames, adding fuel and vinegar.

The smile on Emperor Jiajing's face became more and more vigorous, but those who were familiar with him knew that under this hypocritical smile, anger was also accumulating, and it was about to break through the critical point.

"Yes, a seventeen-year-old child, after training 3,000 recruits in a month, captured the southeast giant alive, and also cut off 7,000 skulls by the way, I was thinking, over the years, the southeastern soldiers cut off the head shells of the pirates, is there a total of 7,000? Lu Bing, have you made any statistics? Emperor Jiajing asked.

Lu Bing's face showed helplessness: "Your Majesty, it's been so many years, and the minister can't control the affairs of the previous minister when he was not a commander, but the minister roughly estimated that in the past 20 years, the soldiers in the southeast have been defeated repeatedly, and the number of heads thrown by the soldiers in the southeast to the Japanese is probably far more than 7,000, as for the heads they cut off, it is estimated that there is no such number, after all, dozens or hundreds of heads, even if it is a big victory, it is such a great victory, and it can be counted on two hands." ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded, didn't speak for a while, and after a while, Emperor Jiajing sighed slightly, and then asked, "Lu Bing, Zheng Guang is the exam in February next year, right?" ”

Lu Bing knew that the emperor still did not intend to attack Su Songwei's soldiers immediately, and after hearing him ask like this, he knew that the emperor must have thought about Zheng Guang, and it was easy to produce a courtier who could fight, if he didn't make good use of it, he would be thundered and struck, and the emperor who prided himself on knowing people and being good at his duties would never let go of the opportunity to show his ability to use people, so the emperor should have followed his own guess and planned to let Zheng Guang stay in Suzhou for a few more years, and then come to take the exam after the trouble was settled.

To tell the truth, Lu Bing and Zheng Guang have never known each other in their lives, they have nothing to do with each other, Lu Bing has no reason and necessity to help Zheng Guang, but I just don't know why, Lu Bing always feels that if he doesn't help secretly, he will definitely regret it in the future, this feeling is actually very mysterious, making people feel confused, and they can't believe it, but they don't dare not believe it, Lu Bing thought about it again and again and made his own decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Zheng Guang will come to participate in the examination of the Ministry of Rites in February next year." Lu Bing replied.

Emperor Jiajing pointed out meaningfully: "These days, Zheng Guang is training and fighting, and all other moves are immersed in hard study, striving to get the Jinshi, he has spent so much time for national affairs, and has made such great achievements, he will definitely be distracted, will he not be able to keep up with his homework?" After all, the imperial examination is not a battlefield in this regard, but it is better than a battlefield, if you don't study for a month or two to prepare for the exam, will it affect that child? ”

Lu Bing opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty can worry about that kid so much, it is a blessing for that kid, but Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this moment, if Zheng Guang can go north to the capital to prepare for the exam immediately, it will be a good thing." ”

Emperor Jiajing was stunned, frowned, and asked, "Why?" ”

Lu Bing said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guang's battle is down, and the battle exploits of the sky are not something that can be divided by three or five people, and under this battle, how many people's fig leaf has been torn off?" Even if His Majesty is magnanimous and does not punish them, will they give Zheng Guang a good look? will definitely look for Zheng Guang's stubble at two ends in three days, and try every means to stumble Zheng Guang, so that Zheng Guang is not happy, and even worse, it may even ...... Your Majesty...... So ......"

Emperor Jiajing's eyes narrowed, and the whole person became dangerous: "I really forgot about this stubble, there are many of them, Zheng Guang is alone, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with...... Or not...... Or not...... has the identity of a jinshi, and those people don't dare to do it, Huang Jin, pass on Xia Yan, Yan Song Erfu. ”
