On the long street, many pedestrians avoided it from a distance, and if they were hit, it would be a white collision whether they were dead or alive.

Seeing the two messengers shouting a great victory and roaring past, many people couldn't help but show puzzlement, for Xuanfu, the people of Jingshi are naturally no strangers, that is the northern barrier of the land of Gyeonggi, which can be said to be one of the important towns on the nine sides.

Among the teahouses on the side of the long street, many people looked at the messenger whistling by.

A regular customer of the teahouse was surprised: "Xuanfu victory? I remember that not long ago, there was news that Yang Yiqing, who was appointed as the governor by the Son of Heaven, was confronting Dayan Khan in the land of Xuanfu. ”

A tea guest sitting next to him shook his head and said: "How is this possible, that is Dayan Khan of the Mighty Grassland, Governor Yang is indeed a rare official who is proficient in military strategy in my Ming Dynasty, but it is impossible for Nadayan Khan's opponent." ”

Many people nodded when they heard this, not because they didn't have confidence in Yang Yiqing, but because since the change of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty has changed from offensive to defensive against the alien races in the northern grasslands, and it can even be said that the border towns, the two sides are fighting, and they may not be able to take any advantage.

The biggest advantage of the people in Beijing is that they are well-informed, and the court can't help but talk about the government, so many people discuss the so-called general trend of the world, which is really the head of the way.

The biggest advantage of the grassland aliens over the Central Plains is the cavalry, and the innate disadvantage of the infantry when they fight against the cavalry makes many people not optimistic that Yang Yiqing in the land of Xuanfu can defeat Dayan Khan.

In everyone's opinion, Yang Yiqing's ability to defend the land of Xuanfu and guard the northern barrier for the imperial court is already the greatest credit.

The urgent messenger roared by, and soon in the capital, I don't know how many people knew the news of Xuanfu's victory.

Forbidden city.

In the imperial city, it has been two or three months since Chu Yi left the capital to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to quell the rebellion of King Ning, and a month ago, Chu Yi passed through the capital without entering the Beijing division, and went straight to the northern border towns.

With Zhu Houzhao's dependence on Chu Yi, he didn't see Chu Yi for several months, but Zhu Houzhao not only did not adapt, but became more and more concerned about Chu Yi.

In the imperial garden, Zhu Houzhao was dressed in a simple suit, and at this moment he was slowly practicing the Taoist health and fitness techniques taught by Shao Yuanjie.

Since the queen became pregnant, Zhu Houzhao naturally attaches great importance to Shao Yuanjie, and attaches more importance to Shao Yuanjie's teaching of his physical fitness and health preservation skills.

Shao Yuanjie stood on the side at this moment and watched Zhu Houzhao practice the art of health preservation, and Gu Dayong on the side looked at the fine beads of sweat on Zhu Houzhao's forehead, with a little distress on his face.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao slowly stop, Gu Dayong hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, shook the dust in his hand, took the silk silk from the little eunuch on the side and handed it to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty has a long breath and a healthy dragon body, so you are really envious of others!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was full of anger, and laughed and said: "My body can be today, thanks to Shao Zhenren!" ”

When Shao Yuanjie heard this, he bowed slightly: "The old Tao is deserved, Your Majesty praises it!" ”

While he was talking, he saw a rush of footsteps in the distance, and Zhu Houzhao and Shao Yuanjie looked at each other.

I saw two messengers coming to the Son of Heaven under the guidance of an attendant.

Almost a few zhang away from Zhu Houzhao, Gu Dayong took a step forward, and the two messengers bowed down in unison, respectfully took the good news from behind and presented it: "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles of urgency, Xuanfu is a great victory!" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, his face showed a little surprise, he looked at the two messengers in amazement, after reacting, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but take a step forward, but at this time, Gu Dayong had already stepped forward, took the letter from the messenger's hand, checked it a little, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the letter, and then walked to Zhu Houzhao and handed it to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please see!" ”

Zhu Houzhao took the letter with an impatient look, and then slowly opened it, swept the content of the letter at a glance and ten lines, and before he finished reading it, Zhu Houzhao showed surprise on his face, and couldn't help laughing at the end.

"Okay, good, Chu Daban did a good job!"

Although it was not clear what the content of the letter was, just looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, he knew that the content of the letter must be related to Chu Yi, otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would not have been able to mention Chu Yi.

After Zhu Houzhao finished reading the urgent letter, his mood calmed down a little, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and a gleam flashed in his eyes and said: "Spread the cabinet elders to enter the palace, summon the British Minister, Dingguo Gong and others into the palace, just say that I have something important to summon!" ”

Soon, an attendant left the palace, and at this time, Gu Dayong said with a little surprise: "Your Majesty, isn't it what kind of feats have been made by the Chief Manager of Chu?" ”

Zhu Houzhao handed the letter to Gu Dayong and said, "Meritorious? That's an immortal feat! ”

Gu Dayong took the letter and looked at it, when he saw that Chu Yi and Yang Yiqing joined forces, they actually defeated Dayan Khan's 100,000 army in a battle and chased for more than 100 miles, capturing Nadayan Khan alive.

Just looking at the content of this letter, if it weren't for Chu Yi's understanding, Gu Dayong would definitely not believe the content of this letter if he killed Gu Dayong.

The content of the letter was unbelievable.

With Gu Dayong's status and status, he naturally knows many things, and naturally knows the situation in the land of the nine sides, Yang Yiqing will have a hard time resisting Dayan Khan, otherwise, the imperial court will not be able to transfer 100,000 Beijing camps from the Beijing division to the north.

For a long time, Yang Yiqing's recital to the imperial court said that the border towns were poor, and for the Tatars to enter the court, it was just a reluctance to parry.

This makes the impression of the Korean Chinese military that the situation in the border town is actually not very good, otherwise, Balsborot would not have been able to go straight to the Central Plains, and even killed the land of Gyeonggi and appeared outside the capital.

Now there is good news that Dayan Khan was captured alive, how can this not make people shocked.

Dayan Khan was captured alive, and if this was said by a person, he would be dragged out and beheaded on the charge of lying about the military situation.

However, this news was sent by Chu Yi, not to mention anything else, but Gu Dayong believed that Chu Yi would never deceive on such things.

Chu Yi has always acted neatly, one is one, two is two, words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, if you want to say that Chu Yi lies and deceives people, others don't say it, at least Gu Dayong is the first to not believe it.

Gu Da was horrified in his heart at the same time, how could he not be filled with boundless envy and jealousy, this kind of feats are simply terrifying, a war without nearly 200,000 Tatar troops, and even Balsborot, Dayan Khan and other Tatar high-level nobles and generals were wiped out, it can be said that after this experience, the steppe alien race wants to recover, but I am afraid that there is no hope for decades.

No matter what Gu Da thought in his heart, but in front of Zhu Houzhao, Gu Dayong immediately said to Zhu Houzhao with a happy face: "Old slave, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, with this battle alone, Your Majesty will definitely be famous in history, and he will be admired by future monarchs." ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face: "I knew that Chu Daban would not disappoint me, but I never thought that Chu Daban would give me such a big surprise. ”

In the cabinet, because Chu Yi delegated power, Zhu Houzhao, under the influence of Chu Yi, also adopted a strategy of delegating power to the cabinet, as the Son of Heaven, it is enough to balance the court, seize the financial power, the right to promote officials and military power, as for other civil affairs and other affairs, it is natural to delegate power to the cabinet to deal with.

The location of the cabinet is a palace complex in the Forbidden City, and in a spacious hall, the cabinet elders are assisting the Son of Heaven to review the chapters, and they are all doing their best.

A sound of footsteps sounded outside the hall, and I saw several chamberlains entering the cabinet, noticing the movement, and Jiao Fang, who was reviewing the recital, subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the visitors.

When she saw someone coming, Jiao Fang couldn't help but say with a puzzled look on her face: "A few fathers-in-law are ...... of these."

One of the eunuchs said to Jiao Fang: "Your Majesty, summon the cabinet elders to enter the palace as soon as possible!" ”

A group of pavilion elders were puzzled, but a few of them respectfully received the order.

After cleaning up a little, I soon saw several pavilion elders following those chamberlains out of the palace and heading straight to the depths of the palace.

A pavilion elder walked with Jiao Fang, looked at the attendants, and then looked at the majestic palace in front of him, and heard the pavilion elder Lu Wenliang say to Jiao Fang: "Does Lord Shoufu know why His Majesty summoned us in such a hurry?" ”

Jiao Fang shook his head slightly, he naturally didn't know why the Son of Heaven summoned them.

Like Jiao Fang and others, there are also a few people who are confused by the British Duke and the Duke of Dingguo, even if the messenger who spreads the emergency news gallops by, many people already know the news of the victory of the Xuanfu.

The British Duke hurriedly left the Guogong Mansion, got on the Guogong Mansion and went straight to the imperial city.

On top of the squeaky carriage, the white-haired Zhang Mao sat there, and next to it was a young man, Zhang Mao's grandson, Zhang Lun.

Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Mao and said, "Grandpa, Your Majesty summoned Grandpa into the palace at this time, and I don't know what it was for!" ”

Zhang Mao said calmly: "Your Majesty's thoughts, how can we as courtiers figure it out, but if the old man is not mistaken, the Son of Heaven is urgently called, and the ** of the ten is related to the dynamics of Jiangnan or the border towns in the north." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Mao suddenly raised his eyebrows, and almost instinctively shouted: "Stop!" ”

With Zhang Mao's order, he suddenly saw the carriage stop.

Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Mao suspiciously, obviously puzzled why Zhang Mao suddenly stopped the carriage at this time, after all, they were summoned by the Son of Heaven, and they should have rushed to the Forbidden City non-stop at this time.

"Grandpa......"

Zhang Mao lifted the curtains on the car and looked outside, and at the same time, Zhang Mao looked solemnly at the few people gathered on the side of the road as if they were talking about something excitedly.

"Lun'er, you get out of the car and take a look, what those people are talking about, Grandpa Fang seems to have heard some great victory or something."

Zhang Lun glanced at the people on the side of the road, just as Zhang Mao said, he could indeed hear the words of a great victory vaguely.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhang Lun walked to the side of the road, arched his hand at the people and said, "Everyone, I don't know what the great victory you are talking about is?" North or Gangnam? ”

Zhang Lun is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he has received an excellent education since he was a child, so his bearing is also very good.

As soon as Zhang Lun spoke, those people were stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhang Lun with a little nervousness, and then slowly said to Zhang Lun: "This noble man doesn't know, what we and the others are talking about is the Xuanfu victory that just spread not long ago. ”

"Xuanfu victory?"

Zhang Lun was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the man: "We are guessing what this Xuanfu Tribulation is all about, and we never wanted to disturb the nobles!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lun nodded at a few people, and then returned to the carriage, Zhang Lun said to Zhang Mao: "Grandpa, just now my grandson went to test the tone of those people, what they are talking about is the Xuanfu Tribulation!" ”

Raising his eyebrows, a gleam flashed in Zhang Mao's eyes, and he stroked his beard and said slowly: "Xuanfu victory? Could it be that Chu Yi really hit Tatar hard? ”

Chu Yi quelled the rebellion of the king of Jiangnan Nanning, and the army returned and went straight to the border town, the purpose of which was naturally clear to everyone, and even Chu Yi wrote to the Son of Heaven, imploring the Son of Heaven to send the army of the capital to assist him in setting up a big net to deal with the Tatars.

In Zhang Mao's opinion, Chu Yi's move was too crazy, and he wanted to swallow the Tartar in one bite, which was simply unrealistic.

Now what is the great victory of Xuanfu, what is Yang Yiqing's ability, Zhang Mao's old fox's eyesight is too sharp, it can naturally be seen that Yang Yiqing is enough to defend the city, and it is impossible to expect him to hit Tatar hard to achieve the so-called Xuanfu victory.

Zhang Lun was surprised: "If this is the case, it can really be called a great victory, and I don't know how many of my Ming soldiers were killed and wounded in this battle, and how many Tatars were killed and wounded!" ”

Zhang Lun subconsciously thought that Chu Yi and Yang Yiqing might have won a big battle with the Tatars, but even if they had gains, they would definitely not deserve the so-called victory.

Zhang Mao's eyes closed slightly: "Enter the palace, everything will be known by then!" ”

The carriage squeaked and stopped outside the palace gate, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw another carriage stop, it was Xu Guangqi, the Duke of Dingguo.

Xu Guangqi first saluted Zhang Mao and entered the palace in parallel.

Xu Guangqi glanced at Zhang Mao and said in a low voice: "Old Guogong, I don't know why His Majesty summoned me and others?" ”

Zhang Mao chuckled and said, "Your Majesty summoned us and others, perhaps to announce a major event to us. ”

Xu Guangqi was even more puzzled when he heard this, but Zhang Mao didn't mean to explain.

It was just a while, Zhang Mao and Xu Guangqi entered a large hall, and when they entered the main hall, they saw several elders of Jiao Fang there.

After the crowd greeted each other, just as they were about to discuss, they heard the voice of the chamberlain from outside the main hall: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Zhang Mao and the others hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "The ministers meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

Zhu Houzhao walked into the main hall, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, and said slowly and condescendingly: "Everyone, get up without courtesy!" ”

I saw Zhang Mao and the others get up.

The chamberlain brought the chair, and the group of people sat down separately at the signal of the Son of Heaven.

Looking at the crowd, Zhu Houzhao's face was filled with a bit of irrepressible joy, and he nodded at Gu Dayong in the puzzled looks of Jiao Fang, Zhang Mao and others.

Gu Dayong walked down the steps and handed a letter to Zhang Mao, who was shocked after reading it.

The letter spread, but anyone who read the urgent letter, whether it was Jiao Fang or the other ministers, all showed a look of disbelief.

Chen Ding, as an old-fashioned man, was full of surprise and suspicion in everyone's hearts, when he saw Chen Ding step forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the old minister dares to ask Your Majesty if you are sure that the content of this letter is all true?" It was okay for Balsborot to be arrested, but the governor of Chu said that many Tatar nobles and leaders, including Dayan Khan, had been arrested, and the old minister really couldn't believe that this was true! ”

frowned slightly, I have to say that Chen Ding's words did make the Son of Heaven dislike, but Zhu Houzhao also knew Chen Ding quite well, and knew that this person had always been upright and not right about people, so he didn't blame the other party.

I only heard Zhu Houzhao say in a deep voice: "I believe in Daban, Daban will never deceive me!" ”

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and said slowly: "As for whether what is said in this letter is true or false, you don't have to worry, we just need to wait for the news of Xuanfu, Xuanfu is not far away from Jingshi, I believe it won't be long before Yang Yiqing's recital should arrive." ”

Everyone's hearts moved, as Zhang Mao said, if the letter presented by Chu Yi to the Son of Heaven is really true, then this is really a great victory that has not been seen in almost a hundred years.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the civil and military forces who were unwilling to believe the authenticity of this great victory, and he was indeed a little unhappy in his heart, but Zhu Houzhao was convinced of Chu Yi.

With a little smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Daban, send someone to the military department to keep an eye on it, as long as the good news of Xuanfu comes, take it immediately." ”

For example, Jiao Fang was a little apprehensive at this time, although he hoped that the news was true, but rationally it was difficult to believe that the news was true, after all, it was just the thought that these people, including Balsborot and Dayan Khan, were caught by Chu Yi, and everyone felt so unreal.

There was only Zhu Houzhao's indifferent face, sitting there safely drinking tea, waiting for news from the Ministry of War.

Xuanfu was victorious, and Chu Yi's letter was naturally not submitted together with Xuanfu's good news, but it was also an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter, and the speed of the two was not much different.
