"Battle report, war report ~ Henan victory, Henan victory ~!"

Outside the city of Tongzhou, three horses galloped past, and the leader of the general flag, which was carefully selected, waved the flag in his hand, shouted to the people and horses in front of him to give way, and then roared loudly,

"What a big victory? Where's the big win? ”

On the road from Xingyang to Beijing, the soldiers and civilians who heard the news were all stunned, how many years have passed, they have not heard of any great victory!

"What? Henan's victory? ”

The guards stationed in the palace of the Forbidden City looked at the sergeant rushing in front of them, and their hearts were shocked,

"Hurry up and play to my emperor, Henan Governor Lu Xiangsheng Lord Lu, in Xingyang, break the thieves 200,000, kill the thief for his own use, a great victory~!"

"What?!"

The Jinyi guard on duty did not dare to slack off, immediately rang the yellow bell, not long, immediately there was a eunuch guarding the door to come, only to hear this, immediately happy, since the Chongzhen Dynasty, every year is the local war is not stopped, here lost a city, there lost an army, and even after the rise of Li Jing, lost three line divisions, this will finally encounter some good news.

"Henan Victory~!"

This is the sergeant at the gate tower screaming hard.

Then it was passed on until it sounded near the emperor's bedroom, and now it was already after noon, and the morning dynasty was down, except for the ministers on duty, the rest of the people went back to the yamen office,

"Where's the sound?"

Zhou Tingru, Wen Tiren, Xu Guangqi, He Wuyu, Wen Zhenmeng, Yang Sichang, Min Hongxue Seven pavilion elders were running errands, and suddenly heard a burst of shouting, and immediately displeased, but when Yang Sichang got up and leaned over to the door to listen, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Elder Zhou Ge is a great victory in Henan."

As a scholar of Dongge University, he supervised the affairs of the military department, and was regarded as a pillar of the country by Emperor Chongzhen in the court, so even if he entered the cabinet late. is also ranked second to last at the head of Min Hongxue, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but the two of He Wen are not even more noble than him.

If it weren't for the fact that Yang Sichang's rise was too fast, in order to prevent him from threatening his own status, Zhou Tingru rarely joined forces with Wen Tiren to suppress him, maybe Yang Sichang's status in the cabinet could be ranked in the top three, because Xu Guangqi is not very in charge of things now. It's just a matter of waiting for the rest of the day.

"What? Your Majesty will summon us, and my colleagues, please stop what you are doing for the time being, and wait for the summons. ”

Even if Wen Tiren is aggressive now, Zhou Tingru's status is about to be lost, but nominally, he is still the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and he will have the final say here in one day.

Sure enough, not long after Zhou Tingru finished speaking. A close eunuch came to summon him, "Your Majesty asks all the elders to go to the main hall to narrate." ”

……

"Long live our emperor, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Henan, lived up to the emperor's grace, on the third day of the first month of this month, broke the thief in Xingyang, beheaded 27 thieves, killed 7,569 thieves, captured 35,762 young and strong, and the rest of the women and children were not counted...... In addition, the meritorious personnel of this battle are attached. All belong to Jin Fu Sun Chuanting, Qin Yiming, the chief soldier of the Beijing battalion, Ma Xianglin, the deputy general of the Shizhu battalion, and Wang Jixun, the deputy general of Shanxi. He is not afraid of death, and he is the first soldier, but he is also a thief. ”

Of course, at the end of this thick recital, he also gave Zuo Liangyu a copy and sued him for not listening to the dispatch. Hold your own troops.

When the cabinet ministers checked it, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially Zhou Tingru and Yang Sichang first, of course, Wen Tiren's face was not so good-looking, after all, when the whole country was in chaos, such a decisive victory brought great variables to the cabinet.

Zhou Tingru, as the chief assistant of the imperial court, bears the brunt of the attack, and he is well-planned and strategizing in the middle, otherwise how can he give credit to others? But for Wen Tiren, this news is simply bad, because with this credit, he can temporarily keep the position of the first assistant, if he takes the opportunity to join him at this time, it will cause a backlash from this meritorious person.

Especially taking Yang Sichang as an example, he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, recommended Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and even the follow-up Qin Yiming, all of whom have great credit, it is obvious that if Wen Tiren wants to attack Zhou Tingru, he must discredit Yang Sichang, but in this way, it is bound to cause a violent backlash, and Yang Sichang is standing behind the emperor.

There is also the nodding pavilion old Xu Guangqi, he has a mortal enmity with him on the issue of Sun Yuanhua, although now Xu Guangqi's position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is given to He Wusu, but he does not resign as a day, he is a cabinet minister for a day, and this identity is enough for him to have a certain number of supporters in the court.

Therefore, in this big victory, the emperor is happy, Shoufu is happy, Xu Guangqi and Yang Sichang are also happy, but Wen Tiren is depressed, this person, the most painful thing is that he is obviously unhappy, and he has to remain very happy on the surface.

"Spread the decree, Galu Xiang was promoted to the prime minister of the five provinces to suppress bandits, the title of secretary of the military department, the son of Mengyin was the supervisor of the country to study, and the rest of the meritorious personnel should be rewarded with official titles, and the cabinet should come up with the charter as soon as possible, and don't treat the meritorious personnel badly."

"Obey~!"

Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan spoke, of course several ministers didn't dare to do it, and Wen Tiren couldn't help it, this big victory was too crucial, and it happened to be the stall where he was accumulating strength and preparing to drive Zhou Tingru away in one fell swoop, which was too frustrating.

"Lord Yang, please stay for a while."

Taking advantage of the emperor's prosperity, the cabinet took the opportunity to ask for instructions on many things, and after obtaining approval, the discussion was dispersed, Zhou Tingru's heart was even more ecstatic, this emperor's senses for him seem to have changed a lot, and he will move back the previous loss of points, it seems that his position as the first assistant can still sit for two years.

So for his lucky star Yang Sichang, he was even more powerful.

"Hmph," Wen Tiren, who saw this scene, left directly in a huff, and now in the cabinet, he and Zhou Tingru have completely torn their faces, if Zhou does not come to the stage, then he will be sad, after all, a Shoufu who is about to fall, and a Shoufu who sits firmly on Mount Tai, the status difference is big.

"What's the matter with Shousuke?"

At the beginning, Yang Sichang was promoted from the position of governor of Shanyong to the military department, and was actually added to the university scholar, Zhou Tingru contributed, but later I saw that the situation was not right, the emperor was ready to let Yang Sichang directly take over his position?

So he instantly felt threatened, so he turned to join forces with Wen Tiren temporarily, and when arranging Tingtui, he deliberately ranked Yang Sichang's ranking to sixth, so as to ensure that before the previous person resigned, Yang Sichang could not threaten the status of the first and second assistants, otherwise it would really be according to the emperor's will,

As soon as he came up, he arranged the first supplement for Yang Sichang, so wouldn't it be ranked fourth? And looking at Xu Guangqi's appearance, he couldn't figure out that he would retire one day, so Yang Sichang was one day, and Zhou Tingru was worried that he would threaten him, but later, when the second assistant Wen Tiren came up aggressively, he regretted it,

After all, no matter what Yang Sichang is, it is impossible to threaten him within a few years, and Wen Tiren's threat is real, so this first assistant has made the decision to win over Yang Sichang again, just taking the opportunity of Henan's victory to mend the relationship with him.

"Wen is weak, it's been a while since you entered the pavilion, have you ever gotten used to it?"

Zhou Tingru's face was now affectionate, and Yang Sichang, who was looking at it, secretly frowned a little, but he still had a smile on his face, and even said gratefully,

"Thanks to the first assistant's refusal to give up, the cabinet ministers have a lot of love, and the lower officials are quite comfortable in the cabinet."

Can you be uncomfortable, the first assistant and the second assistant suppressed him together, and replaced him with a good old man Xu Guangqi, and he couldn't help much, he was in the cabinet, and he almost didn't hold up a sign saying that I was excluded.

"It's good to be comfortable, it's good to be comfortable, in the future, let's be closer and closer, otherwise this cabinet will always be blackened by some people,"

Zhou Tingru, who has been pretending to be a turtle for half a year, is now in a stable position, it is time to settle accounts with some people, is it really easy for him to bully someone Zhou?

"The lower officials are dedicated to doing errands for the emperor, and the first assistant is the minister of His Majesty's humerus, and the lower officials must go all out."

As an official, how can there be a lifelong enemy, Yang Sichang can be screwed up, he and Zhou Tingru, to put it bluntly, there is no direct conflict, and his status is not easy to threaten the first assistant, so now, their common enemy is Wen Tiren, only by driving away this second assistant, the first assistant Zhou Tingru can feel at ease, and Yang Sichang can take advantage of the situation to enter another place.

Wait until a certain day, the emperor feels that Zhou Tingru is not good, that is the day when Yang Sichang will take over the first assistant, this day, it will not be too long, it will not be too short, as for Xu Guangqi, it looks like within this two years, he will go into hiding, and when he retreats, and then fights Wen Tiren, then Yang Sichang's life will be much better.

As for He Wusu, Wen Zhenmeng, who was in front of him, is that still a threat?

"It just so happens that today's Cao Cao brought Jiangnan wine, and the old man prepared some food in the house, I wonder if Lord Yang can enjoy his face and talk about it in the house?"

"The first assistant invited him, and the lower officials naturally didn't dare to disobey."

Yang Sichang's words are also clear, you are the first assistant, I am the minister, and now I have to follow, but if you want me to follow you unconditionally, it is impossible, sooner or later, I will come to your position.

"That's good, the old man is waiting for Lord Yang in the mansion."

How could Zhou Tingru not hear the meaning of his words, but he didn't care at all, who said clearly what happened in the future, didn't he move to his predecessor with the full support of Emperor Chongzhen back then? But look at what position he has become now, if the time hadn't come, he would have been kicked away a long time ago.

After the two were temporarily separated, everyone understood that they had reacted, and a new round of standing in line began immediately, looking at this appearance, Shoufu and Xu Guangqi, Yang Sichang are temporarily allied, and Wen Tiren He Min Hongxue is counted as all the way, as for He Wusu and Wen Zhenmeng, one is also in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is in charge of Hanlin, which is useless, to put it bluntly, there is no strength in your hands, who can look down on you.
