Chapter Twenty-Nine: Good News and Recitals
I saw the eunuch go down the steps, go to the corner of His Royal Highness, remove the wax seal, open the lid, shake his hand, and confirm that everything is fine. It was a simple means of inspecting envelopes in the court, usually by a special eunuch, but the news was so exciting that the emperor and his ministers wanted to know it immediately.
Emperor Long Yan was furious just now, and he needed a good news to calm down at this moment, so the emperor glanced at the eunuch, and the eunuch read it out after a simple inspection.
After the eunuch had finished inspecting it, he picked up the report with both hands, walked up the steps, and read it in front of the royal railing in front of the dragon chair:
"Your Majesty, Li Desheng, the governor of the north of the minister, and His Majesty Hongfu and all the soldiers in the north worked together to fight bloodily to annihilate the invading northern captives in Yandang Mountain.
This is thanks to His Majesty's blessings, the soldiers under the command of the ministers use their lives, the ministers do not dare to take credit, and are investigating the meritorious soldiers in detail, fearing that there are omissions not only to lose the holy hope, but also to chill the hearts of the soldiers, so the ministers dare not play the list of meritorious soldiers this time, hoping that His Majesty will atone for his sins.
When the results of the detailed investigation come out, the ministers will play carefully to comfort His Majesty's eagerness, and do not miss the merits of the meritorious soldiers, and the minister's wishes are sufficient.
Minister Li Desheng is frightened, don't be angry for the minister's courage, look at Your Majesty's holy peace, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”
"Hahaha, this Li Desheng, won the battle, did not take credit, and comforted the soldiers, dealt with it impartially, did not fall into selfishness, and was cautious, which is rare.
Wang Xi drafted a decree to praise the soldiers in the north, and Li Desheng, the governor of the north, entered Beijing to personally report to me. Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said.
"Obey. Wang Xi, the eunuch next to him, replied.
(The chamberlains in the Imperial Palace of the Rose Empire are all of rank, and both eunuchs and female officials are imperial officials and enjoy official treatment.) Therefore, in formal settings, it is not different from ordinary officials to call themselves ministers.
However, eunuchs are palace ministers after all, especially in private, because the chamberlain, especially the eunuchs, are generally serving in the palace for life, many of them have served the prince and princess since childhood, and they belong to the private ministers of the family, and the relationship with the master is extremely close, and there may be some private words. )
A few days ago, Cheng Buzhi was telling the Governor General and other generals about the battle of Yandang Mountain in the Governor's Mansion in the north.
"I am really ashamed of my humble position, I ambushed more than 300 people in the north with more than 1,000 people without authorization, only killed more than 100 people, and let nearly 200 people escape from the north, but our department suffered heavy losses, with more than 600 casualties, you don't know, at that time, I looked at the messy battlefield at that time, and I really wanted to hug my head and cry. The more than 600 brothers who have been fighting with the lowly post for several years, are all the brothers whose names are called by the lowly function", said Cheng Buzhi, this big man burst into tears, beat his chest and cried, "I really didn't expect that the gap between us and the Beiyu is so big.
"General Cheng, we all understand your feelings, but we still have to face reality. And in the saint of the capital, the people of the world are still waiting for the details of our Yandang Mountain good news. ”
"The humble post has already told you the details, please ask the officials to ask for a reward for these more than 600 soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and it is not in vain that they have worked so hard for the country, please lords. Saying that, Cheng Buzhi bowed to the generals in the hall.
"General Cheng, you are reckless, this is an ambush planned by the Governor's Mansion in the north, this is the result of our quiet planning in the north, and the results of your soldiers fighting with their lives, you have made great contributions, and we will definitely ask for merit and reward for you and other meritorious soldiers."
You should also understand what we mean, our Rose Empire needs a great victory, the Holy Lord needs a great victory, the people of the world need a great victory, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my north need a great victory, and we also need a great victory!"
