was scolded by Niu Dan pointing at his nose, Zhang Sizhi was ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous because he was in front of the emperor. Zhu Youzhen found it interesting, these old guys are used to being powerful, and even he, the emperor, has to give them three points. Of course, Niu Dan's behavior is definitely a loss of honor in front of the king, and he will be punished according to the law, but Zhu Youzhen does not intend to do so.

These two people have obviously been rescued, but they resolutely came to Jingshi, and risked their heads to go outside the Forbidden City, and sued the emperor in this unique way, which can be regarded as brave and strategic. It can be seen that the Lord will teach the depth of his words and deeds. The generals under his command are so loyal and brave, how can the main general be a traitorous and treasonous scum?

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's doubts about Li Xin in his heart were further swept out, and what he was worried about was that Li Xin went out of the side wall and lost contact with him every day, what kind of emergencies did he encounter?

Zhang Sizhi, as a cabinet scholar, was scolded by a vulgar military attache pointing his nose, but it can be regarded as 40,000 sweeps and losing face. He froze on the spot, in a dilemma.

And Liu Yuliang, another important minister cabinet scholar, looked at Zhang Sizhi's jokes in the back, and didn't plan to come out to relieve him, but there was no one in the palace who could reprimand him, Zhang Sizhi could only blow his beard angrily and stare at him, but there was no way Zhu Youzhen didn't plan to entangle Zhang Sizhi, he was eager to get the specific news of Li Xin, but when he saw the two people with dozens of pounds of iron chains, he couldn't help frowning, and he no longer let the little eunuch give orders according to the rules, but personally ordered the forbidden army guards to open the chains on the two people.

In fact, according to the rules, even the admonitions to low-level officials like Niu Dan and Shi Datuo should be conveyed by the junior eunuchs, but Zhu Youzhen was troublesome, and he was no longer bound by vulgar etiquette, but directly interrogated, and this kind of thing was not the first time this kind of thing had happened, when Li Xin was still a horse thief without any merit on his head, he made an exception to meet and interrogate him personally.

The forbidden army took off the chains on the two of them, which made the two people very excited, and they were a little choked when they thanked them, and they had been humiliated for several days.

"Niu Dan, you say, where is your general now? Why has there been no news of this search? ”

"Return, long live, I, our generals went out of the side wall to fight the Tartars, and outside the side wall is the Tartars' territory-shaped shì complex, and it is common to not be able to get in touch!" Niu Dan answered the emperor's question with tears Zhu Youzhen nodded and agreed with Niu Dan's statement, but he didn't know that this seemingly loyal and honest Niu Dan lied, and he didn't know that Li Xin sent troops north before he came to Zhenwei. When Li Xin set off for Sanwei, he specially left the cow eggs to assist Tian Fuzhen, the prefect of Taiyuan, but a major event happened in Taiyuan, and Li Xin had to make the decision himself. Niu Dan went north to find Li Xin, and when he arrived at the Acropolis, he was just in time for the Tartars to attack the city, and the plan to get out of the side wall was put on hold.

However, immediately Zhu Youzhen raised another question: "Since you are Li Xin's pro-military battalion officer, why are you not by Li Xin's side?" "There's got to be a big deal about that.

"Long live, the general ordered me to protect Tianfuzun in Taiyuan, who knows, who knows that there is a big case in Taiyuan, I, I am going north to ask the general for help!"

Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized that this guy called Niu Dan was not with Li Xin, and when he thought of this, his already relaxed state of mind became inexplicably nervous. If Niu Dan wasn't with Li Xin, what he said about Li Xin before must have been just a guess, so how is Li Xin now, no one can say a meridian.

On the contrary, Zhang Sizhi interjected from the side, "What kind of big case does it have to be solved by your general?" Taiyuan has a political envoy, an envoy, and a prefect, so why can't it be the turn of a general soldier to take care of it? ”

was finally caught by him, and Niu Dan saw that it was the old man who was scolded by himself just now, so he was not polite to him.

"I don't talk to the traitor who framed our general!"

As soon as these words came out, someone in the hall couldn't help laughing, and even Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, feeling that this person was really interesting. However, Zhang Sizhi's question was not unreasonable, and he wanted to see what it was, and he had to introduce the general soldier to deal with it personally. Then he said:

"Leave him alone, you tell me what happened in Taiyuan?"

Niu Dan hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, saying that his words were rude and he couldn't speak. Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, forgave him for his innocence, and let him tell the truth.

"After Song Tangguan returned to Taiyuan from Beijing, he brought back good news, long live the internal fund personally allocated 200,000 taels of silver to Shanxi for disaster relief, and the people were very happy, but it was ......."

"But what?"

It was indeed his decision to allocate 200,000 taels of silver from the internal funds, and the household department pushed it off because he had no money, but Zhu Youzhen loved it, so he allocated 200,000 taels of silver under excitement. This matter can be said to have a great deal to do with him, but listening to Niu Dan's tone, it seems that something is wrong again, so he also became nervous.

"Long live forgiveness, I, I dare not say it!"

Zhu Youzhen was made to cry and laugh by the cow eggs, you dare to go to the Forbidden City to sue the emperor, what else don't you dare?

"Say, forgive you!"

"Then I'll just say ......"

Zhu Youzhen was speechless by Niu Dan's verbosity......

"After the silver was transported to Taiyuan, it was only two thousand taels after inventory!"

Two thousand taels? Zhu Youzhen changed his color, how is this possible, the internal money is the emperor's private property, in other words, it is all his money, how did he get to Taiyuan with only two thousand taels?

"You, you say it again, how much?"

"Two thousand taels!"

Niu Dan replied with a pair of innocent bronze eyes. This sentence was exclaimed, and he was surprised to find that the emperor, who was still smiling, had a gloomy and terrifying face in an instant, and he didn't say a word for a long time. The air in the entire Wenhua Hall seemed to be frozen in an instant, so that everyone in the hall didn't even dare to take a breath.

At this time, Shi Datuo had recovered from the excitement and nervousness at the beginning, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, he felt that Niu Dan's words were not clear, which made the emperor think that Taiyuan was suspecting that the emperor did not allocate 200,000 taels of silver at all, but only allocated 2,000 taels. In addition, he was anxious to show Xiàn in front of the emperor, so he further told the various rumors he heard from Niu Dan's mouth as if they were true things, so as to relieve the emperor and relieve his embarrassment.

"Long live really allocated 200,000 taels of silver from the inside, but ......" Shi Datuo deliberately accentuated his tone, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "However, they have been stripped off layer by layer by officials at all levels along the way!" So after arriving in Taiyuan, there were only two thousand taels left! The political envoy glared at him, saying that it was not his turn to take care of this matter, and the envoy wanted to investigate but was powerless, and the Taiyuan prefect was not powerful enough, so if he didn't find the general to call the shots, who would he call the shots? ”

Shi Datuo was talking to himself freely, not noticing that Zhu Youzhen's dark and dull complexion had turned purple. Finally, the emperor snorted and walked away. Shi Datuo was stunned, why did the emperor leave?

No one in the Wenhua Hall expected that it was supposed to deal with the matter of suing the emperor, but who knew that it would be such a result in the end?

Zhang Sizhi had long since lost the heart to continue to stay in the Wenhua Palace, and after the emperor left, he also brushed his sleeves and left, looking preoccupied. Liu Yuliang stared at his back, sighed lightly after a long time, ordered someone to send Niu Dan and Zhang Shi out of the Forbidden City, so that he could settle down, and sent someone to strictly protect their safety, waiting for the emperor's summons at any time. Liu Yuliang knew that it wouldn't be long before the emperor would summon the two of them.

……

This change in the Jingshi, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Xuanda, who was hundreds of miles away, did not know that he had already prepared for a decisive battle with the eastern captives outside the acropolis, but at this critical moment, he suddenly received an urgent report from the Xuanfu that suspicious people and horses had entered from Zhangjiakou and were cruising near the Xuanfu.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Hong Chengchou suddenly fell into an embarrassing dilemma. In the end, he had to make a painful decision, first go back to the division to save Xuanfu, and then save the town guards after the siege is lifted, after all, Xuanfu is much more important than a town guard.

The generals had no meaning, all the horses pulled out the camp overnight, Hong Chengchou was even more worried, and personally led the Xuanfu cavalry to open the way. After a night of rapid marching, when they reached Wanquanwei, there was a sudden return of rangers, and a large force of unidentified cavalry was found in front, because it was dark night, they could not see how many people and horses the other side had, and they did not know who the other party belonged to.

Hong Chengchou suddenly became nervous, he never expected that his well-organized strategy would be disrupted by the Tartars, starting from his rear, planning to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and couldn't help but secretly blame himself, fighting geese all year round, and today he was pecked by geese.

However, he brought a thousand cavalry, and it was too reckless to rush into it, and it was not his style of using soldiers. He urgently ordered the army to stop advancing, monitor its movements from the sidelines, and retreat as soon as the opponent attacked, waiting for the arrival of the army before fighting a decisive battle.

This encounter was too hasty, and Hong Chengchou was not sure of victory, so he was reluctant to send troops lightly, hoping to observe the opponent's flaws before waiting for an opportunity to attack. He was very calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent, the situation that the Xuanfu army was facing now was already being attacked on both sides, once the eastern prisoners in the direction of the Zhenfu Guard sent troops to form a flank with him, I am afraid that he would not be able to return to the sky at that time.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and there was not much time left for him, and at this moment, a piece of news from the Chinese army that shocked him inexplicably, the thousands of troops in the rear army made a roar, and the Chinese army was too busy to quell the chaos! And let him immediately go back to preside over the overall situation.

Hong Chengchou was heartbroken and regretted. Suddenly, someone came to report that it was the chief general of the other party's army who sent someone to ask to see him!
