In the general army of Datong, Wang Chengen was chatting with Cao Yue privately.

"Chief Cao Bing, after receiving the good news from Datong, he praised your bravery, this time Jiannu attacked in the harsh winter, no one expected it, and there was no news from the Liaodong Hongdu. If you hadn't hit Jiannu under Datong City, Jiannu wouldn't have come and gone in a hurry, maybe Beijing City would also suffer a catastrophe, and Long Live Lord promised that he would definitely give you a heavy reward!"

"Thank you Princess," Cao Yue could understand the meaning of Wang Chengen's words, it seemed that Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to blame him, "The prince is determined to speak for Cao in front of His Majesty, I am really very grateful." ”

"Hey, the miscellaneous family didn't say anything, but according to the truth, Cao Zongbing made a pardon and forgiveness of the war exploits, looking at my great future, there is really no one to compare, and the miscellaneous family is also very amazed. Without you, no one can predict what the final outcome of the Battle of Songshan will be, and this time Jiannu will surprise the southern expedition, maybe there will be chaos in the north. Jiannu is good at using troops in the ice and snow, and my Ming officers and soldiers will be trapped in the cold, hehe, Cao Zongbing is really my Ming minister, Your Majesty often sighs, fortunately, there are a few tiger generals of your Cao family, otherwise Jiannu's offensive is difficult to block. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chengen showed a mysterious look, approached Cao Yue, and whispered: "Chief Cao Bing, in fact, Your Majesty knows that you are loyal and have no disobedience, but someone has been impeached, and some ministers in the DPRK and China have also accused you, so he has to investigate this matter well." The miscellaneous family believes that the results of the investigation will be available soon, and you will be cleared!"

Wang Chengen's words suddenly made Cao Yue put down his hanging heart, and it seemed that he would definitely be fine. But Cao Yue also knew that Wang Chengen must have a deeper meaning when he said such things so clearly, and Wang Chengen wanted benefits, that was for sure.

But Cao Yue couldn't think of what Emperor Chongzhen secretly asked Wang Chengen to reveal the bottom line for.

But soon Cao Yue understood a little, and only listened to Wang Chengen continue: "General Cao, Your Majesty has repeatedly praised you, saying that you are a handsome among young people, and he will become the top general of the Ming Dynasty one day, and he admires you very much." ”

Hearing Wang Chengen praise him again through the words of Emperor Chongzhen, Cao Yue had to repeatedly express his modesty.

"Mr. Cao shouldn't be married yet, right? Is there a matchmaker for you at home? ”

Seeing that Wang Chengen asked about private matters, Cao Yue didn't hide it, and replied honestly: "Father-in-law, Cao is still young, and he doesn't want to get married and start a family so early." If it is not peaceful today, the construction of slaves is powerful, threatening my Ming border pass, and the rogue is rampant, Cao wants to use his own blood to expel the Tartars, eliminate the rogues, and return the people of the world to peace. Huo Biyao once said: The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home, although Cao is not talented and does not dare to compare with Huo Biyao, but he is willing to follow his example, lead the army until he kills all the Hulu, and then consider marriage after pacifying the Liukou!"

"Good!" Wang Chengen couldn't help but high-five and praise, "Mr. Cao has this ambition, and the miscellaneous family admires it very much." Cao Zongbing has made so many military exploits at a young age, it is really Huo Biyao of the Ming Dynasty, and in other days, Cao Zongbing's military exploits will definitely be able to overshadow Huo Biyao. Today, the miscellaneous family does not hide it, His Majesty intends to take the eldest princess of Kunxing Xu Cao as his wife, but Princess Kunxing has not yet arrived, and she still needs to wait for another year. ”

Wang Chengen had already revealed the news last time, and Cao Yue was not too surprised to hear him say this again today. What is different from last time is that this time he has understood the meaning of Wang Chengen's words, that is, Emperor Chongzhen really wants him to be a concubine, maybe this is Emperor Chongzhen's means of entrapment, Cao Yue understands the meaning of Wang Chengen's confession with him today.

In front of him, Zhu Yujiao's pretty and lovely appearance immediately appeared, as well as the embarrassing things that happened to the two of them. To be honest, he seems to have a bit of love at first sight with Zhu Yujiao, but because of his identity, he doesn't dare to think too much. Now it seems that it is really possible to marry that little beauty into the family, and Cao Yue has an indescribable joy in his heart.

It's just that Cao Yue also knew that the horses in the Ming Dynasty were actually respected in status, but they had no actual power, and they couldn't even lead those officials who had real positions, so they could only hang some false positions. In other words, when he became a lieutenant, he could not lead the army as a general soldier or in any other capacity like he is now, and do greater things.

Wang Chengen seemed to see Cao Yue's hesitation, and immediately explained: "Cao Zongbing, for a long time, the captain of the horse has not been able to actually do things for the court, but now is a very moment, the world is in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger. Long live the Lord said, when Princess Kunxing becomes an adult, the court has announced your marriage, and is ready to let you supervise the Jingying, I believe this is something Your Majesty, the princess and you are willing to see, isn't it? ”

Wang Chengen's words eliminated the last doubt in Cao Yue's heart. can marry a princess who is as beautiful as a flower, and can continue to lead the army, and even administer the Jingying, which can be said to be the best of both worlds. Jingying can be said to be the most relied on by the emperor in the Ming army, although the current combat effectiveness is not very good, and it may be a group of rabble, but the status of the commander of Jingying is respected, far higher than the general military officer of Datong. If he can master the Beijing camp, his status in the Ming army will definitely be further improved, and Cao Yue is of course excited.

He also immediately got up and thanked Wang Chengen, and said that he was very grateful for the emperor's favor, and he was willing to accept the emperor's marriage, and hoped that after becoming a lieutenant, he could continue to fight for the country and make military exploits.

But what Cao Yue didn't know was that this was a means that Wang Chengen proposed to Emperor Chongzhen to deal with him.

Now Zhu Yujiao is still underage, and he has not yet been able to marry, continue to let Cao Yue train in Datong, and wait for next year, the training of Datong soldiers is almost over, and Zhu Yujiao has also reached the age of Ji and can get married, then the court ordered Cao Yue to be transferred away, and entrusted him with the post of commander of the Beijing camp, and the Datong army changed its commander, and this army trained by Cao Yue himself became an army under someone else's name.

This is Wang Chengen's plan to pick peaches, no one can find a problem, and he believes that Cao Yue will not resist.

Although Admiral Jingying said that his position was higher than that of the Datong General Army, this was not the case. The affairs of the Beijing camp are very complicated, many forces are mixed in it, the affairs of the Beijing camp The governor of the Beijing camp cannot have the final say, and even the army of thousands of men and horses may not be able to command the movement, and the real power is actually not as good as the chief military officer of a town.

Seeing that Cao Yue was in the trap, Wang Chengen was relieved, and encouraged Cao Yue a few more words, telling him not to worry about everything, he would deal with this investigation incident, and the court's reward for the victory in this battle of Datong would come soon.

In order to express his gratitude, Cao Yue generously took out a lot of money to express his gratitude to Wang Chengen, but Wang Chengen was just polite and accepted it.
