"Good news, good news, Your Majesty!"

Bingbi eunuch Wang Chengen hurriedly trotted to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, but was too anxious to stumble on the high threshold at once, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, a shoe flew over his head, almost hitting the Chongzhen Emperor who was reviewing the folds on the desk, and then Wang Chengen couldn't get up, and even crawled in front of the Chongzhen case.

Chongzhen looked at the funny minion and almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but fortunately he endured a breath and did not lose the majesty of the emperor.

Then Chongzhen feigned anger and said: "You slave, what are you doing in a panic!" ”

As if shocked by the emperor's majesty, Wang Chengen knelt in front of the desk, trembling.

But still with a little surprise, but there was a panicked voice, trembling and said: "Your Majesty, the good news is coming!" ”

"Good news?"

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, but continued to review it.

"Is it another good news from the Zhou Cabinet Department? Good news is better than nothing! ”

Having said that, Emperor Chongzhen inadvertently frowned slightly.

Zhou Yanru is his trusted courtier, and Zhou Yanru invites himself to be a supervisor, this attitude makes Chongzhen appreciate it very much, and he likes this kind of courtier who takes the initiative to do things.

As a result, after Zhou Yanru arrived in Tongzhou, he sent him good news at the end of three days, and Emperor Chongzhen was very happy at first, but none of these good news were delivered, and in the end, they provoked the impeachment of one by one, impeaching Zhou Yanru to sit in Tongzhou, and watch the Tartars wreak havoc and harass the people.

Wang Chengen looked up and saw that the emperor was still busy with his head down, and he said carefully: "Your Majesty, this time it is not the good news of the Zhou Pavilion Department, it is from the Huai'an Cao Governor's Mansion, the good news of Haizhou, and three hundred are killed." The head has been delivered, and it is being inspected by the military department! ”

"What!"

Chongzhen finally put down the imperial pen in his hand at this time, and looked up at Wang Chengen in amazement.

"What the hell is going on? What about Shi Kefa's recital? ”

The Emperor asked anxiously.

With the good news that there is no head often coming from Liaodong. And the good news sent by Zhou Yanru these days explained that the Tartars are all cavalry. Even if they win, they often don't have heads, unless they can defeat the Tartars, it is impossible to capture them at all, but Shi Kefa sent three hundred heads, which means that Jiangnan has a big victory, and the enemies defeated are far more than three hundred.

Wang Chengen kowtowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the song was just sent, and the slave intercepted it." It's in the arms of the slave. ”

The emperor had already stood up: "Don't hurry up and present it yet!" ”

Wang Chengen got up and limped towards the emperor, already taking out a piece of hard paper in his hand.

The emperor looked at the appearance of this minion, and his face showed a slightly unbearable look, but he quickly took the fold and looked at it.

Looking at the emperor's hands, he couldn't help but tremble.

Shi Kefa explained the cause and effect in the twists and turns, Haizhou was besieged, Shi Kefa sent a thousand generals from Nanjing to rescue, the thousand generals rushed to Haizhou, found that there were more than 300 captives outside the city, so a fierce battle. Almost all the captives were wiped out.

Although the matter is simple, in the hands of a civil servant like Shi Kefa, the pen is brilliant. It's hard to write a sense of immediacy.

After reading it, the emperor slapped the fold on the imperial case, took a deep breath and sighed: "What a fierce general!" ”

Three hundred cavalry in front, charging from the infantry, charging cavalry with infantry, slashing three hundred, I didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general under his rule, he was really a famous minister of the virtuous king.

When Wang Chengen saw the emperor's expression, he immediately complimented him on the side: "Congratulations, Your Majesty." Congratulations to Your Majesty, this fierce general. Why can't you calm down! ”

But then Wang Chengen showed doubts: "It's just that those heads of soldiers haven't been inspected yet, and I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he looked at the emperor carefully. Since Cao Huachun, who served Chongzhen in the Xinwang Mansion since he was a child, went home to mourn, Wang Chengen replaced Cao Huachun as a eunuch of Bingbi, and won the trust of the emperor, especially after Chongzhen became more and more disappointed with the performance of the civil official group, Wang Chengen almost became the emperor's most trusted person, and even Zhou Yanru had to bribe him if he wanted to meet again.

The reason why Wang Chengen was able to do this step was by no means because he was a eunuch, but because he knew how to observe words and feelings.

Sure enough, I saw the emperor's confident tone: "Shi Kefa has already inspected it, Shi Kefa is a serious courtier, if he inspects correctly, there will be no problem." ”

Wang Chengen secretly felt proud of himself, and handed the emperor a comfortable word, which could make the emperor wise: "The saint is wise!" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand: "Such a fierce general, such a courtier, should be rewarded." Just reward this, well, Yang Chao is one thousand, not three hundred taels of silver, Shi Kefa will also be rewarded, five hundred taels! ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is benevolent! ”

Chongzhen waved his hand: "Go and do it." ”

Wang Chengen ran away in a hurry, just like he came in a hurry, which also made the emperor nod, and then looked down at the music again, happy and slightly regretful, but unfortunately there were only three hundred captives, and I didn't want Zhou Yanru to always report the good news that thousands of captives were repulsed.

With the news of Haizhou's good news, the emperor Long Yan Dayue, and the news of rewarding meritorious heroes came out, and soon Yang Chao's name was also mentioned by more and more people, and more and more people knew about it.

The reason why Yang Chao's news has caused so many reactions, in addition to the fact that he already has a certain weight, the biggest reason is actually the relationship between winning the battle.

This time, Yang Chao in Haizhou didn't know, but other places more or less knew some of the situation, such as the people in the officialdom, the Dongyu ravaged Shandong, and Zhou Yanru took the initiative to ask for the superintendent in order to invite merit in front of the emperor, but as a result, he didn't go south at all in Tongzhou with a large army, and he didn't go to Shandong at all.

Lai drank and enjoyed himself with officials at all levels in Tongzhou all day long, but reported good news to the emperor at every turn.

The whole world knows what Zhou Yanru's good news is, but the emperor doesn't know, all kinds of rewards and awards, not stingy at all.

However, Yang Chao's military exploits are not compatible with Zhou Yanru's so-called good news of repelling thousands of people, Yang Chao's military exploits are real, each of them has a head as evidence, and he also captured alive two captives, one large and one small, one of whom is still a captive chief who led the troops to plunder, which has a very different meaning.

Therefore, it is simply shocking in the officialdom, plus the side eyes, basically no one doubts that Yang Chao will soar because of this military feat, as long as Yang Chao has always been able to fight, it is very possible to grow into the next Zuo Liangyu, so it is unwise to offend Yang Chao at this time.

Therefore, Xiong Mingyu had already planned to reconcile with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and promised Gu Zhaoji to let his brother-in-law go out of the mountain again, but as soon as the news came, Xiong Mingyu immediately used the power of the Nanjing Military Department to completely deny Gu Zhaoji's guarantee.

So originally because Xu Zhongxiao was very good at being a man, after Yang Chao went north, he decided that Yang Chao would definitely die, Feng Kezong had long lost the mind to clean up Xu Zhongxiao, and enjoyed Xu Zhongxiao's filial piety with peace of mind, but when the news of Yang Chao's victory came, Feng Kezong immediately made up his mind to break off relations with Xu Zhongxiao.

In fact, hearing this news, Feng Kezong was scared half to death at that time, Yang Chao's operation in Nanjing really brought too much damage to Feng Kezong's weak mind, others just knew that Yang Chao was not easy to mess with, Feng Kezong Ke has always regarded Yang Chao as the living king of Hades. But not only did he not do the things entrusted to him by the Living Yama King, but hooked up with Xu Zhongxiao and shared the benefits.

Feng Kezong suddenly recalled the feeling of the past, and scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, Yang Chao went to kill the Tartar, how could he fail, how could Yang Chao be the kind of reckless person, how could he do something that he was not sure of, Yang Chao was going to kill the Tartar, who cares about the legend that the Tartar is invincible, Feng Kezong only knew that as long as Yang Chao wanted to do something, it would be impossible to do it, he wanted to kill the Tartar, and the Tartar just lowered his head and obediently let him cut it, Feng Kezong didn't feel strange.

As a result, now that the news came, Feng Kezong was immediately at a loss and out of proportion.

But within a few days, another news about Yang Chao spread, Yang Chao was surrounded by 100,000 troops in Haizhou City! (To be continued) Junzi Juyitang returned to the late Ming Dynasty to become a warlord
