Chapter 70: Your Majesty is overjoyed
"Smack!"
Xue Guoguan was shocked by this terrifying news, and slapped heavily on the case with one hand.
Liu Yuliang and Yang Sichang both looked at Xue Guoguan in surprise and asked, "Xue Ge Lao, but there is another report of defeat?" ”
"Liu Chao is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and the old man is just angry." Xue Guoguan said hatefully, and quietly caged the inscription book on the desk into his sleeve pocket.
Although Yang Sichang and Xue Guoguan have political disagreements, and they are also fighting openly and secretly in the court, everyone is a decent person, and they are also on an errand in Wenyuan Pavilion, so they still have to take care of the big field, and they are kind words to persuade each other.
Xue Guoguan got off the donkey and sighed: "The old man is depressed in his heart, and he wants to go for a walk outside the pavilion, are you willing to go with the old man?" ”
Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, also sighed: "Xue Ge Lao is depressed in his heart, and it is good to go out for a walk, but now that Gyeonggi is erosive, His Majesty has three edicts a day, but the old man can't leave for a while, and Xue Ge Lao is still at his own convenience." ”
"Yes, Xue Ge Lao is still at his own convenience, this pavilion is still on the errand of the military department, and now the military horses in Shanxi and Liaodong are not far from the Beijing Division, and this pavilion can't get out of here."
Yang Sichang is also reluctant to go out, Gyeonggi is so erosive, if the emperor inquires and he can't deal with it, it is not worth it.
Xue Guoguan shook his head slightly, bowed his hand slightly to Liu Yuliang and Yang Sichang and others, and walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion with Shi Shiran.
Out of Wenyuan Pavilion, Xue Guoguan called his henchman Cai Yishen and cabinet secretary Liu Lishun over, and asked the two of them to go to the military department to find all the reports delivered by Gao Yang, and he went straight to Wuying Palace.
To tell the truth, if Huang Wenchang himself played and said that he would defeat the five thousand Dongyu and behead five hundred, Xue Ge Lao would definitely scoff at it, but this song was written by Sun Chengzong, then it can't be faked.
Sun Chengzong is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, supervised Liaodong several times, and was an auxiliary minister of the cabinet of the Tianqi and Chongzhen Dynasty, and he was loyal to the imperial court, so he naturally would not hide his defeat and turn it into victory, and falsely reported his military exploits.
Wuying Palace.
Since the eighth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang gathered peasant armies from all walks of life in Xingyang, regarded himself as the leader of the alliance, raised an army of 200,000 to break through Fengyang, and dug the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family.
In the hall, Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and looked at the report just sent by Wang Chengen, since the declaration of martial law in Beijing, the order of the queen of the world, Baoding general soldier Liu Guangzuo, Xuanda general soldier Yang Guozhu, Shanxi general soldier Hu Dawei, Datong general soldier Wang Pu and Guanning army Zu Dale, Zu Kuan and others have been ordered to enter the guard under the leadership of the supervisor Gao Qiqian, but to this day, only Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu rushed to Changping.
Long!
Emperor Chongzhen slowly spoke: "Wang Companion, what do you say is the matter?" I have clothes and food at night, five to nine, I don't dare to slack off, but the Central Plains Liukou continues, the Donglu is always on the side, just suppressed the thieves, the Dongyu is coming, retreating from the Dongyu, the Liukou will resurge, is this Ming Dynasty really going to be interrupted in my hands? ”
Seeing that the emperor was depressed, Wang Chengen had tears in his eyes and persuaded: "Emperor, the ancients, how difficult it is to prosper the country, although the country is flat, there is no shortage of loyal ministers and filial sons, and the soldiers are still fighting bloodily. ”
"Wang Banban, don't comfort me, look at this report, Shanxi's Qinwang army has arrived in Changping, Guanning army has just entered Shanhaiguan, Datong general army arrived in Baoanzhou, and stopped again, the generals are so afraid of the Dongyu, Lu Xiangsheng only has 20,000 or 30,000 troops and horses there, and he can resist the Dongyu."
"Your Majesty is overjoyed! Gaoyang Sun Pavilion has a report that the Baoding guerrilla Huang Wenchang defeated the puppet Qing County King Abatai, broke the enemy by 5,000, and won the first 500. ”
Wang Chengen was about to speak, but the voice of Xue Guoguan, the second assistant of the cabinet, came from outside the door.
"What? Quick Announcement"
Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and stood up, even if the robe sleeve belt turned over the tea cup in front of the imperial case, he didn't know it.
Soon!
Xue Guoguan walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion with a proud face, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt down suddenly, raised the inscription in his hand high, and said: "Your Majesty is very happy!" ”
"Elder Ge, please get up quickly, sit down, and quickly read the battle report and listen to me."
Chongzhen suddenly heard the good news, and this would already be incoherent.
The emperor was happy, Wang Chengen was also happy, stepped forward to help Xue Guoguan, and ordered the little eunuchs around to move the brocade stool, invite Xue Guoguan to sit down, and then took Xue Guoguan's recital, and read aloud: "On September 26, the eleventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the slave chief Abatai committed Gaoyang with 5,000 teachers,...... It was a battle, and the ministers beheaded Sun Youguang, the commander of the white flag of the Han army, and won more than 500 first-class ,...... There were few soldiers and not enough to pursue, so they did not do their ....... ”
"Good, good, a good Baoding guerrilla, a good one as brave as Guan Zhang, with only 500 military horses, he dared to ambush 5,000 Tartars, and beheaded the Han army, and the slave chief Abatai fled in embarrassment."
Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and praised repeatedly.
Xue Guoguan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister originally read the report, and he couldn't believe it, but this report is written by Sun Ge's old family, but the minister has to believe it." ”
Emperor Chongzhen was puzzled: "Elder Sun Ge is loyal, and I believe in his report, but how did the battle report on September 26 reach the cabinet after these days?" ”
Xue Guoguan got up and played: "Your Majesty, now the military situation is like fire, the war reports from all over the country are sent to the Beijing division like snowflakes, the cabinet is busy raising money and food, and Sun Ge Lao is at home, so I don't want to pay attention to the military department!" Lao Chen has already sent someone to the military department to see if there is any follow-up war report. ”
After Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of the army, Chen Xinjia, the former governor of Xuanda, had been edicted to enter Beijing and was awarded the title of the left squire of the military department.
Chongzhen also knows what Xue Guoguan means, but Xue Guoguan has always suggested that his sacred heart is arbitrary, attaches importance to the factory guard, and like the previous Shoufu Wen Tiren, he suggested that the country should be governed by the law, and bluntly said that if the factory guard has the ability of the Apocalypse Dynasty, why should the courtiers be so greedy.
Xue Guoguan acted and governed the country, all of them emulated Wen Tiren, and he also won Chongzhen's trust, so who would succeed Liu Yuliang between him and Yang Sichang, Chongzhen had always been difficult to decide, which allowed Liu Yuliang to continue to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet.
Now Xue Guoguan is attacking Yang Sichang under the pretext of attacking him, Chongzhen doesn't want to ask, his mind at the moment is completely immersed in the battle of five hundred Dongyu, Zhang Zhiyong's Baoding guerrilla Huang Wenchang.
"Elder Xue Ge and Wang Companion, how do you say to give General Huang a credit?"
Xue Guoguan said: "Your Majesty, I am the ancestral system, non-first level can not discuss merit, now Huang Guerrilla has won such a huge amount, Gaoyang is not far from the Beijing Division, the old minister suggested that it is better to summon General Huang to send the first rank to Beijing to offer victory, so that General Huang's martial arts can be announced, and the morale of the military and civilians of the Beijing Division can also be boosted." ”
Chongzhen said worriedly: "If General Huang leaves Gaoyang, if the puppet king Abatai invades the realm again, then Gaoyang will not be in danger, and I will think about it." ”
After that, he opened the report again, and said happily: "With 500 soldiers, 5,000 people will break through the East Captives, and the real tiger generals will also, if all the generals are like Huang Guerrilla, why should I be afraid of the East Captives and Liukou." ”
