Chapter 774: Triumphant Return

"Everyone, let's not hide it, Yan Song is very likely to suffer from "stupidity"! ”

When Xu Jie's words fell, everyone present was stunned at first, and then their faces were full of shock.

I saw Gao Gong coming back to his senses first, lowering his eyes, looking at the ground carelessly, and muttering to himself: "No wonder Yan Song has been so abnormal recently, and he has been doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a "stupidity"! ”

At this time, Gao Gong had already fallen into his memories, thinking of everything that had happened recently, he felt more and more that Xu Jie's conjecture was correct, Yan Song must be suffering from "stupidity".

"If that's the case, then I can also go one step further and take advantage of the situation to sit in the position of second assistant of the cabinet!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

If something goes wrong, try reading it later in your browser!

After learning the identities of the three people, the old man nodded, and then introduced his identities to the three of them.

After listening to Zhu Xizhong's words, Jiajing did not respond immediately, but looked in the direction where Yang Xuan was, waiting for his answer.

"This time, Altan Khan commanded an army of 200,000 and plundered in the south, and it was precisely because of your Aiqing who fought bloodily on the front line and bravely killed the enemy that the Gengxu change would not be repeated, and the people of my Ming Dynasty would have a peaceful life."

"Come on, give a seat to a few Aiqing!"

Hearing this, Jiajing glanced over everyone's bodies, nodded, and commanded: "Well, get up!" ”

After a series of activities such as roll call, thanksgiving, feasting, paying homage to the saints and teachers, erecting inscriptions, and compiling the records, Xu Shixing, Xu Wei, and Yu Youding, who were the champions, were finally officially awarded official positions by the imperial court.

……

"Maybe Your Majesty will take action to investigate Yan Song's condition, if it is confirmed that Yan Song suffers from "dementia", then sooner or later he will be killed! ”

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng on the side did not raise any objections to this, but nodded and responded respectfully.

The entire Hanlin Academy includes one bachelor, two five-rank officials, two bachelors, two five-rank officials, two subordinate officials, two waiters, and six officials, and historians include revisions, sixth-grade officials, seventh-grade officials, reviewers, nine hereditary doctors of the Five Classics, and eighth-rank officials.

"Elder Xu Ge, since Yan Song is suffering from "dementia", can we immediately start to overthrow Yan and remove Yan from the court? ”

"First, because of the benefits of firearms, secondly, because of the appropriate strategy, and thirdly, because of the abundance of food and grass, but Weichen thinks that the most important thing is that the soldiers dare to fight, can fight, and the monarch and ministers work together!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the court can win this time, mainly because of the benefits of firearms!"

"Hmm."

The rest of them are also terrified all day long, and they dare not regain any resistance again.

In addition, there are many Guys, and these Gilders have neither rank nor quota in the Hanlin Academy.

"Old man Wang Ruixian, take the position of a bachelor, and be in charge of this Hanlin Academy, you can call the old man Lord Wang in the future."

After finishing his emotion, I saw Wang Rui first gather his mind, paced leisurely, and walked out of the room.

The latter quickly understood, and immediately took the drafted holy decree from the hands of the eunuch who had been waiting on the side, and said in a deep voice.

"I have to leave a good impression on His Majesty's side, and more importantly, I can't let Your Majesty feel that I, Xu Jie, am greedy for power, and I want to sit in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet to impeach Yan Song."

When Xu Shixing heard this, he followed the prestige, and saw that the person who came was an old man who was nearly sixty years old, with gray hair and wearing a blue official robe.

After Jiajing finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to respond, he gave Lu Fang a look on the side.

The vast majority of these people are members of the White Lotus Sect, or people who voluntarily came to the steppe to attach themselves to the Tatars, and these people depended on the Mongols to cultivate the land, engaged in various craft production, and even worse, directly confirmed the identity of traitors, and repeatedly provoked Altan Khan to go south to plunder.

Zhao Quanquan was the head of the White Lotus Sect in the Yanbei region, and took refuge in Altan Khan, burning and looting the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, while Li Zixin often returned to his hometown and tricked the whole village to follow him to the Fengzhou region.

"Anyway, without Yan Song, it's not enough to worry about a single Yan Shifan."

After perceiving that the emperor's gaze fell on him, he saw Yang Xuan organize the language in his mind and report in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the reason why this battle was won was because of the reasonable strategy adopted. ”

It can be said that the Hanlin Academy has brought together the most outstanding talents in the entire Ming Dynasty, and most of them are the reserves of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.

When Xu Jie said this, his face was full of determination.

After Yang Xuan organized the language in his mind, he began to tell Jiajing: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, Weichen received a report from Peng Yao, the commander of the Suzhou Guard, saying that it was a sentry who "does not collect at night" and found traces of the main Tatar force, and after that, he ......."

……

No one expected the emperor to suddenly ask such a question, and after a moment of stunned, he saw Zhu Xizhong stand up and give his own answer.

When Zhu Zaikun's words fell, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's eyes unconsciously fell on Xu Jie's body, waiting for his response.

For Wang Ruixian's orders, the subordinate naturally did not dare to disobey, immediately lowered his head, and responded without thinking: "Yes, my lord!" ”

"Those soldiers who unfortunately died in battle will be paid three times the pension money to their families by the imperial court, and if they have children in their families, if they are of the right age, they will be given priority to be sent to the government to study in the righteous school, and if there are old people, they will be supported by the government at the expense of the government, and they will be supported by the old age, and they will be sent to the end of their old age, so admire!"

Wang Rui first heard Xu Shixing's words, nodded, and then glanced over the three of them, and called his subordinates, and commanded: "Take them down and familiarize yourself with the environment of the Hanlin Academy." ”

Moreover, these people can also be counted as military merits, so those who dare to take up arms and resist are slaughtered as soon as they are seen.

After the restructuring, the Hallym Temple has undergone great changes.

"The flintlock pistols produced by the Ordnance Division not only have a long range, great power, and strong reliability, but also have paper shell bullets to assist from the side, paper shell bullets can greatly increase the speed of the gun's load, and the armor on those Tatar cavalry is like nothing in front of the gun."

When Jiajing's words fell, I saw Yang Xuan, who was the commander-in-chief, stand up and respond in a deep voice: "Obey, Your Majesty!" ”

After that, Zhu Xizhong, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Yang Xuan walked up the stairs and stepped on the stairs of the Qianqing Palace.

After all, they are both first-class jinshi, and they should be together for warmth.

As soon as everyone got up from the ground, they heard Jiajing's slightly excited voice.

Gao Gong heard Xu Jie's words, and after thinking for a while, he gave his opinion: "Elder Xu Ge, I think this matter should be cautious, after all, there is a lot involved, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will be the end of losing all the plates, and the more you get to this time, the more you have to calm down." ”

Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Jie did not respond immediately, but glanced over Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng respectively, and consulted their opinions: "What do you think?" ”

"You Aiqing have made a great contribution this time, I want to reward you well!"

After the three of them left, Wang Rui first withdrew his gaze, and his face was full of inexplicable expressions.

"Therefore, I think that you can continue to wait and see, and by the way, let the people under your command prepare in advance, and if the time is ripe, you can officially start to fall strict!"

Thinking of this, Xu Jie looked at Zhang Juzheng with a hint of appreciation.

When Xu Jie said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued to add: "Yan Song doesn't even remember what happened not long ago, and before that, I asked the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and I learned more about the symptoms of "dementia" from his mouth. ”

The Forbidden City, outside the Qianqing Palace.

"But we also have to prepare accordingly, so as not to suffer losses at that time, so as to order them to go down and prepare them to be strict."

"Lord Wang, I'll retire now!"

……

Although the Hanlin Temple is not of high grade, it is highly valued because of its proximity to the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Lord Wang's teachings, the lower officials must take them to heart."

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Xu Jie reacted instantly, Zhang Juzheng was clearly beating around the bush and persuading himself not to be anxious.

After all, he and Yu Dayou, like Yang Xuan, who is the head coach, have been promoted two levels in a row on the basis of the original.

"If all these firearms can be installed in the army of the whole country, then my Ming Dynasty will be invincible in the world!"

"Yes, sir!"

After this, Xu Jie saw that Zhu Zaikun on the side, as well as Zhang Juzheng's face, still had doubts remaining, and simply explained the ins and outs of this for them.

Subsequently, under the instruction of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, most of those who surrendered to the Ming army were also killed.

After receiving Jiajing's answer, everyone got up from the ground one after another.

After that, Xu Wei and Yu Youding, who were on the side, also hurriedly informed the old man of their identities.

If this matter was normal, Wang Ruixian would definitely refuse with righteous words, but this time it was different.

"The Che battalion troops under the personal command of General Qi and General Yu had a strong restraint effect on the Tatar cavalry, and combined with our invincible firearms, this was the victory in this war."

"You must know that Your Majesty can see everything that happened today, and maybe you won't even need Xu Ge Lao to make a move when the time comes."

After destroying the main force of the Tatar army and killing Altan Khan himself, the Ming army did not rush to return to the court, but took advantage of this momentum, according to the guidance of those Tatar captives, divided the troops into multiple routes, and raided the Fengzhou Beach in the steppe area with lightning speed.

When the guide eunuch heard Zhu Xizhong's words, his face was full of panic, and he hurriedly lowered his head and responded respectfully: "Where, Chengguo's public words are serious, this is nothing more than our family's responsibility!" ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy was also known as the Hanlin National History Institute, and the officials in charge of the Hanlin Academy were ranked as the three products.

2605:F700:43:6000::6b6

Yang Xuan, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou all knew Zhu Xizhong's intentions, so they also acquiesced to his actions.

For the Ming army, these people were no longer subjects of the Ming Dynasty from the moment they fled, so they could be treated as enemies.

"Well, this Zhang Juzheng is a malleable talent, and he will have to carry it more in the future!"

When Jiajing's words fell, a eunuch soon stepped forward, prepared a seat for everyone, and covered it with soft cushions.

Today's Hanlin Temple was built on the site of Honglu Temple.

These people, where are the opponents of the Ming army armed to the teeth, the earthen fort they built is like a piece of tissue paper in front of the Ming army's artillery, and it can break a big hole with just a slight poke.

The Hanlin Academy was directly under the orders of the emperor and was mainly responsible for providing advice to the emperor, as well as writing books and histories, drafting edicts, serving members of the imperial family, and serving as an examiner for imperial examinations.

"Yes, Elder Xu Ge!"

When the old man's words fell, Xu Shixing and the others immediately leaned down and responded respectfully.

……

"As Zhang Juzheng said before, everything that happened today is in the eyes of His Majesty."

After entering the Qianqing Palace, under the guidance of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, everyone knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said in a deep voice: "Weichen knocks on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing that Xu Jie's gaze fell on him, Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment before speaking unhurriedly: "Elder Xu Ge, I feel that Elder Gao Ge has a point, but if you continue to wait and see, won't you miss the opportunity?" ”

Seeing this, the rest of the people also hurriedly guided the eunuch to give up their hands to show their gratitude.

When Zhang Juzheng said this, he added meaningfully.

After being awarded official positions, Xu Shixing, Xu Wei, and Yu Youding were taken to the location of the Hanlin Academy by the corresponding officials.

When Yang Xuan's words fell, I saw Qi Jiguang, who had been silent, stand up, looked in the direction where Jiajing was, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that there are many factors why this battle can be won. ”

Just as Xu Shixing and the three of them were still looking at everything around them with curiosity, they only heard a voice without any emotion.

"At that time, I, Xu Jie, will be able to ascend to the throne of the first assistant of the cabinet without much effort!"

At this moment, I saw the guiding eunuch walking quietly in front of everyone, and said respectfully: "Everyone, you can go in, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside!" ”

After responding, Zhu Xizhong, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Yang Xuan sat on the chairs one after another, and the whole person sat upright, not daring to make the slightest move.

"Well, Zhang Juzheng has a point, I've been waiting for so long, and it's not too late."

The person who came to ask him for help, but the high-ranking and powerful pavilion elder in the court, this face must be given.

"Alas, I don't know, what kind of luck these two people have taken, they can actually get the attention of the old man of the court!"

When Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, and the guide led the eunuch to arch his hand and express his gratitude: "Well, there is Gonggong Lao!" ”

Seeing this situation, Xu Shixing didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, immediately lowered his head, and respectfully informed the old man of his identity.

Subsequently, I saw Jiajing raise his eyebrows, face everyone, and ask such a question: "Then according to your Aiqing, this time the imperial court can defeat Altan Khan, where is the victory?" ”

After listening to Xu Jie's analysis, Zhu Zaikun's face was full of excitement that could not be concealed, and he unconsciously clenched his fists, looked in the direction where Xu Jie, and said happily.

At this moment, Zhu Xizhong, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Yang Xuan were waiting respectfully outside the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the emperor's summons.

"And today's Yan Song is even more disgraced in front of His Majesty, like this kind of mistake, Yan Song in the past would never have made it!"

When the Ming army came to Fengzhou Beach, most of these people were killed before they could resist, and even if they reluctantly organized a counterattack later, it was to no avail.

After Lu Fang finished reading all the contents of the holy decree, the faces of everyone present were full of excitement that could not be concealed.

When Wang Rui heard this, he just stroked his beard and replied imperceptibly.

Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: "This time the general Yang Xuan, who broke the enemy, was promoted to the general of Longhu, the general of Zhaoyi, Qi Jiguang, was promoted to the general of Zhenguo, the general of Huaiyuan, Yu Dayou, was promoted to the general of Anyuan, and Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, was awarded the post of minister of military aircraft, and the rest of the generals were promoted to one level on the basis of the original!" ”

It is rumored that Xu Shixing, who is the champion, has entered the eyes of Zhang Juzheng, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, and even Xu Shixing's answer sheet was personally reviewed by Zhang Juzheng, and Xu Wei, who is the eye of the example, once served as Hu Zongxian's staff.

Immediately, I saw Zhu Xizhong take the lead in reacting, slowly got up from the seat, turned his gaze to Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said respectfully: "Weichen thank you for your grace, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

When Jiajing's words fell, everyone slowly got up from the ground, and at this time, the shocked look on their faces had not subsided at all.

Although it is not clear who is entrusted by the visitor, it is possible to figure it out if you think about it a little.

Under Yang Xuan's narration, Jiajing finally had a general understanding of the whole process of the entire battle.

There is no softness in dealing with these people.

After all, for something like this, it is only fitting for him, the manager, to be able to analyze this war from a global perspective.

"You are the champions, top eyes, and tanhua of this year?"

And in the process, the Ming army discovered the Han people who fled from the Ming Dynasty and lived in the Fengzhoutan area.

According to the usual practice, the champion is generally awarded the official position of the Hanlin Academy, and the rank is from the sixth grade, which is mainly responsible for the compilation of the national history, while the list eye and Tanhua will be awarded the official position of the Hanlin Academy, and the rank is the seventh grade.

Thinking of this, Gao Gong's breathing couldn't help but become rapid.

"In addition, grenades, new cannons and other firearms also caused great damage to those Tatar troops, killing those Tatar troops frightened, disheartened, and afraid of the imperial army."

"But since then, Yan Song seems to be a different person, often in a trance, occasionally forgetting our names, and processing the music much slower."

"It's a pity that Xu Wei is too old, and the height he can reach in the future is far less than Xu Shixing, who is also a first-class jinshi, and Yu Youding."

"Although Yan Song appeared in front of everyone in a dignified manner, dispelling the doubts of the government and the opposition."

Although the old man's face was full of wrinkles, he was in good spirits and gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Not only Yang Xuan, but even Qi Jiguang, who has always been old and serious, was full of shock that could not be concealed.

Not long ago, two groups of people found him privately, hoping that he could take proper care of Xu Shixing, who is the champion, and Xu Wei, who is the role model.

"Yan Song, a sinister and cunning traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, ended up suffering from "stupidity", which is really a vision of the sky, and the retribution is not happy! ”

"Anyway, not long ago, didn't the news about the recurrence of Yan Song's old illness spread in the DPRK?"

Jiajing seemed to be quite happy with the arrival of Zhu Xizhong and his party, only to see him wave his hand and command: "Everyone, Aiqing, please hurry up!" ”

"All the soldiers who participated in the conquest of the Tartars were given three times the amount of silver, and as for the merits, they were counted according to the number of beheadings."

Jiajing didn't care about this, just shook his head imperceptibly, and commanded: "Well, sit down!" ”

Subsequently, Xu Shixing, Xu Wei, and Yu Youding were taken down by the previous subordinate to familiarize themselves with the environment of the Hanlin Academy.

Seeing this, under the leadership of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, everyone bowed their hands to Jiajing, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”

Among these traitors, Zhao Quan, Li Zixin and others are the most outstanding.

These Han people are called "bansheng" by the Mongols, and bansheng means house.

When Xu Shixing heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face at the right time, and he responded respectfully.

As soon as the three of them entered the Hanlin Courtyard, they were soon greeted by officials, and after a few words of greeting, they took the three to the corresponding room to wait.

Then, only to hear Jiajing's slightly emotional voice sound, pulling everyone back to reality: "Tell me about the process of this battle!" ”

When Zhu Xizhong's words fell, the rest of the people also reacted, followed Zhu Xizhong's footsteps, got up from the seat one after another, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Weichen thank the Holy Grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After that, I saw Xu Jie come back to his senses, looked in the direction of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng respectively, nodded, and then said: "Well, you have a point, the more you get to this time, the more you have to calm down!" ”

After listening to Gao Gong's opinion, Xu Jie did not comment on this, but looked at Zhang Juzheng on the side.

Subsequently, under the severe torture of the Ming army, Zhao Quan, who was disguised as an ordinary villager, was found and brought back to the capital.

Maybe it's because the imperial court is too heavy on his reward, at this moment, Yang Xuan's brain is blank, after all, this is the Dragon and Tiger General!

This is the culmination that ordinary military attaches can reach, and if they want to rise further, then they must make a contribution no less than the war of annihilation.

"Although the three of you are first-class jinshi, but our Hanlin Academy, the most important thing is the first-class jinshi, I hope you can guard against arrogance and rashness in the future, work hard, and don't let down Your Majesty's importance to you!"

Long before coming, Xu Shixing, Xu Wei, and Yu Youding informed each other of their names and places of origin.

"The Gengxu change that occurred in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing is undoubtedly a shame for the imperial court."

"Your Majesty, you have kept this shame firmly in your heart, appointed meritocracy, and worked hard, and the Ming Dynasty was also under your majesty's governance, gradually recovering its national strength, and had the capital to fight with Altan Khan."

"It can be said that this battle can be won, Your Majesty, you are indispensable!" (End of chapter)
