Not long after the eunuch went to Zhanzhi, the Ministry of Rites was still in the book, and Yang Sichang of the university was in a hurry.

He entered the warm pavilion and sang: "Minister Yang Sichang has seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

He peeked at Emperor Chongzhen's expression, and saw that he was infinitely happy, and he knew it in his heart, but he still looked respectful, waiting for the emperor's question.

Emperor Chongzhen said happily: "Yang Aiqing take a look at these two letters

Yang Sichang stood better, and took the two letters handed by the eunuch with both hands, one was Lu Xiangsheng's good news, and the other was Chen Xinjia's good news, and looked at it carefully.

Emperor Chongzhen took a sip of tea proudly, and looked at Yang Sichang's expression with some expectation.

But seeing Yang Sichang look at it for a long time, his eyes became more and more red, and finally almost tears rolled down, he solemnly tidied up his clothes, and gave Emperor Chongzhen a big salute again, shouting loudly: "Lai ancestor Hongfu, holy heaven." Lu Shilang and Governor Chen have such a great victory, Weichen would like to congratulate the emperor and Daming! ”

When he said this, he fell to the ground, and he could not cry. Emperor Chongzhen laughed, seeing Yang Sichang like this, his heart was moved, he stepped forward to help Yang Sichang with his own hands, and said softly: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, get up quickly." ”

beckoned left and right: "Come on, move a chair for Yang Aiqing."

Immediately, a eunuch on duty brought a brocade couch over and said respectfully to Yang Sichang: "Old gentleman, please take a seat." ”

Yang Sichang carefully sat on half of his buttocks, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Lu Shilang and Governor Chen have won such a great victory, they should immediately issue a commendation to boost the morale of our Ming army."

He said: "That Baozhou guerrilla general Wang Dou, beheaded the general and captured the flag." He has won a lot of people, and he needs to be encouraged to do a better job of killing thieves for the country and making new contributions to the emperor."

"General Wang was originally a general of Xuanzhen, and Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanzhen, also needs encouragement!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help nodding, and it was rumored that Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng were at odds, and Yang Tinglin impeached Yang Sichang because of this.

After Chen Xinjia finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "It's really difficult for Chen Aiqing to fight in person, and he is in danger, and it is really my luck to have a loyal minister like Aiqing who sacrifices himself for the country." ”

Chen Xinjia was in a turbulent mood, with the emperor's words, it was an incomparably bright future, and his eyes were red. He got up from his chair and prostrated his head. He choked up and said: "Weichen is a broken body, and it is difficult to repay the emperor's kindness." ”

Emperor Chongzhen sat down satisfied. Look at Yang Sichang on the left and Chen Xinjia on the right. Although the country is in a difficult situation, with the assistance of these two loyal and capable ministers, it may not be impossible to reverse the decline one day.

He suddenly remembered something, and joked Chen Xinjia and said, "General Wang is in your camp now?" Lianyi summoned him to come and personally offer his condolences. ”

Chen Xinjia and Yang Sichang glanced at each other. Chen Xinjia smiled bitterly: "Back to the emperor, this matter is really unfortunate, the military situation in Baoding is urgent, and Lu Duchen also sent people to ask for help." Weichen reluctantly asked General Wang to lead his army to help, and early this morning, General Wang led the army away. Emperor Chongzhen was a little disappointed and sighed: "It's really a pity." ”

He glanced at Chen Xinjia: "Originally, General Wang was under your command, and he could be more powerful." It's just a matter of making new contributions to the country, they are all Ming courtiers, regardless of each other, and General Wang is under whomever he commands, they are all the same thieves.

He looked at Chen Xinzao and nodded again and again: "You can take care of the military situation, endure the pain and cut your love, and put national affairs first, Lianlian is very happy." ”

Chen Xinjia kowtowed again: "As the emperor said, Weichen and Lu Shilang are both Ming courtiers. Weichen is stupid, but he knows that this is not the time to be timid and avoid war. For General Wang, although Weichen admires him very much, and he is the only one under his command who is the most brave and good at fighting, but the military situation is urgent, and Weichen's first thought is to send him to lead the army. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, asked Chen Xinjia to get up, and said to him: "Lianfang just discussed with Yang Aiqing about the matter of suing the Taimiao, I heard that this great victory, General Wang seized the armor of many slave thieves?" ”

Chen Xinjia said respectfully: "Exactly, General Wang's great victory this time has cut more than 670 levels ()." Among them, many slaves and thieves Jia Lazhangjing, divided into leaders such as Paishku, and there were also captured thieves Jia Lazhangjing Dajia and armor, and the rest of them had countless banners. Wechen have been properly preserved? ”

When Wang Dou asked Wen Daxing to transport his head, all the flags captured were also delivered, and the slain Jialazhang Jinghuda, his banner. His armor, Wang Dou knew that it was very important, so he did not put it in his own warehouse, but sent it with the car. After Chen Xinjia got the curtain and armor of Lazhangjing, if he got the treasure, he thought that the curtain was not tattered enough, and he tore it himself.

Listening to Chen Xinjia say this, Emperor Chongzhen was even more happy, and in routine battles, it was difficult to obtain the banner armor of a leader like Paishku by the Qing soldiers. Not to mention the great armor of Jia Lazhangjing, he said excitedly: "With this batch of slave and thief-level banners, when you win the Taimiao, it will be even more able to boost the morale of the army." ”

Coming out of the warm pavilion, Chen Xinjia still felt light and fluttering, but he peeked at Yang Sichang's expression beside him from time to time. There was a respectful look on his face.

In front of Chen Xinjia. Of course, Yang Sichang will not be the same as in front of Emperor Chongzhen, but his expression is proud.

He seemed to be groaning all the way, and after a long time, he smiled at Chen Xinjia and said: "Brother Fang Yuan, the emperor has a very good impression of you, and he has these military exploits in hand." In the future, he trained in Xuanda for a few years, and entered the cabinet in Japan. It's not difficult. ”

Chen Xinjia was overjoyed and gave Yang Sichang a deep salute: "Thanks to Yang Ge's cultivation." ”

Yang Sichang nodded slowly, and suddenly said: "You'd better get some more military merits, then Wang Dou, you have to win it over." ”

Chen Xinjia said angrily: "Pavilion Elder." Although Wang Dou fought bravely, he was too high-flying and domineering, so he left without a sound, and he didn't take the students in his eyes. ”

Yang Sichang said lightly: "Wang Dou is a martial artist, it is not a matter of concern, just envelop it." The key is that Lu Xiangsheng"
