Finally, I don't know if it was a hallucination in my mind, or if their anticipation moved the heavens and paid off. In short, not far away, three fast horses came to the dust.

"Report!" The speed of the war horse was running very fast, almost Zhang Ao had just seen their figures, and he had already come to the Zhanghua Gate, and he saw the person in the middle raising his head and shouting: "I am a hundred households under the command of the general, and I have a great victory in front, and I have killed hundreds of thousands of thieves in one battle, and now the Li thief has retreated to the direction of Shanxi." Now please open the city gates and let me enter the city to report the victory. ”

"Ahh Win, win, hahaha. Zhang Ao has no doubt that there is him, although he can't name the person who came to report the news, but he has also appeared behind Liang Jun, even if he is his own family, there is no need to tell lies at this time.

In fact, some lies were still said, such as the number of people who killed and injured the Dashun army, which added up to only 60,000 or 70,000 people, but now, it has been reported as tens of thousands.

In fact, this is also normal, the ancients always like to exaggerate in such things, for example, when they dispatch an army of 300,000, they dare to say that they have 500,000, and if they dispatch 600,000, they will claim to be millions, which is everywhere.

Finally waited for the news, or the most satisfactory news, Zhang Ao immediately ordered Blood Changkong to take people to open the city gate, and he happily went straight down the stairs of the city tower. At this time, he seemed to see a golden avenue in front of him, and he had a feeling that he would definitely glorify his ancestors.

The messenger entered Beijing, and the originally quiet city of Beijing became lively.

When the messenger rode through the street, the high-pitched sound of victory resounded in the sky above the Jingshi, and soon, the Jingshi, which was still pitch black, was like an awakened giant, shining countless points of light.

In fact, not only Zhang Ao, but also in the Jingshi, who can sleep peacefully this night?

In the homes of ordinary people, there are many children who send their children to join the army, but they don't come back for a day, and some smart people have already thought of something, but they just haven't announced it. Now that I heard the good news ahead, I could finally let go of half of my hanging heart.

As for the other half, they are worried about whether their family will be able to come back safely.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to make meritorious contributions, but it would be even better if you can return safely and make meritorious contributions.

There are also important ministers and magnates, they have not slept either, they all have their own news channels, and they learned that the Ming army went out of the city to parade fake, and it was true that they took the initiative to attack the Dashun army.

When they got the news on the first day, they were not optimistic.

How many catties and taels did the Ming army have, as the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, and even some powerful courtiers, how could they not know?

It's just that some people are young and strong in the army under the bewitchment of that Zhu Changwu, and they haven't even practiced once, pointing at them Can they win the battle?

If this can defeat the Dashun army, then the thieves have already been destroyed, how can they develop to such a strong state?

The so-called battle between the Ming army and the Dashun army was nothing more than self-destruction. In the end, it will only be a vain death in the prime of life.

In the afternoon, when I got the news that the Ming army was likely to attack, many courtiers' mansions were full of voices scolding Zhu Changwu. thinks that it is his self-inadequacy that has killed so many people.

The Dashun army is big and menacing, why not surrender on the spot, so that there can be fewer deaths, isn't it beautiful?

But just after scolding, there was news that the Ming army had won a big victory and Li Zicheng had retreated to Shanxi, how could you make them believe it, and how could they accept it?

Of course, not all the courtiers are scolding Zhu Changwu, the Ming Dynasty has been founding for many years, and there are still loyal ministers, just because there are not many of them, plus there is no power, and the thieves entered the Beijing division in history, and these people can't do anything at all, so there is no record of these people in history.

Just because you don't write it doesn't mean you don't.

It's like being in Xuanwu Bowei Mingchun's mansion.

For example, in the mansion of Liu Wenbing, Xinlehou, and the mansion of Gong Yonggu, etc., when they got the news, they all burst into tears, sighing that their ancestors would appear and ensure that Daming would not die.

Compared with these courtiers, after the news reached the palace, there was no rest, and Chongzhen, who was also sitting on pins and needles, became very excited when he heard the good news.

Chongzhen is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is completely different from the courtiers.

When a courtier comes to a foreign enemy, he can choose to surrender, and some can even continue to be his courtiers, in their eyes, it is just a different person on the throne to sit down, they are drinking wine and listening to music.

Chongzhen really can't, he must die.

He doesn't die, and Li Zicheng can't feel at ease.

Chongzhen, who was already holding the heart of death, was because of Zhu Changwu's arrival, which gave him hope again.

Just when he learned that Zhu Changwu was going to fight to the death with the Dashun army, he also asked how much the winning rate was, and the answer was fifty percent.

Even if it's half against half, it's enough for Chongzhen.

At least he had half a chance, unlike before, he could only be beaten passively, and he had no power to fight back.

After repelling Wang Zhixin and others during the day, Chongzhen's heart has been hanging high, and until now, he hasn't even eaten a bite of food, no matter how Queen Zhou and Wang Chengen persuade each other, it is useless.

Now, the good news came back, Chongzhen finally put his mind at ease, and then couldn't help crying with joy.

He finally did not become the king of the Ming Dynasty. Although Li Zicheng was only defeated and retreated, not eliminated, in his opinion, since Zhu Changwu could repel the thieves with less victory, as long as he was given time, one day he could completely eliminate these thieves.

"Congratulations to Long Live Lord, Congratulations to Long Live Lord, Daming Zhongxing is hopeful." Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, also shed tears of joy.

"Yes, Daming Zhongxing is expected, and all of this is due to Young Master Zhu. Wang Daban, how do you say I want to reward him this time? After Chongzhen was happy, after his mentality slowly calmed down, he began to think about how to reward the heroes.

As soon as he heard that Chongzhen was going to reward Zhu Changwu, Wang Chengen was a little anxious.

As the old saying goes, imperial power cannot be granted privately. There is also a saying that the merit is high and the Lord is shaken.

I think how old Zhu Changwu is now, not even eighteen, he has already been named the prince and young master, and he is a first-class court. If you continue to reward now, wouldn't you only have a seat for the first product?

If you make a contribution in the future, how will you be rewarded?

Is it possible to let Zhu Changwu be a one-word king?

Yes, Zhu Changwu said that he was not interested in the throne, but he couldn't stand up to others. As everyone knows, is there a sentence about the yellow robe?

As Chongzhen's absolute hardcore and the first loyal minister, Wang Chengen didn't care whether the master would be happy or not, so he knelt on the ground with a thud, "Long live Lord, please think twice about the reward." ”

"What? If you want to stop me, the eldest companion should know who Young Master Zhu is. Chongzhen's face really became unpleasant.

In his mind, Da Ming was going to die, and it was the appearance of Zhu Changwu that turned the tide. Such a courtier can't be overrewarded.

Especially Zhu Changwu said that he never thought about becoming an emperor, which made Chongzhen even more relieved.

"Long live Lord, Young Master Zhu doesn't have any delusions, but if he can't stand it, I'm afraid that his subordinates will think too much. Long live Lord, what Daming needs today is stability, it takes time to keep quiet, don't make waves again because of other things, please think twice, think again. Wang Chengen continued to kowtow and speak.

Finally, Chongzhen's complexion gradually returned to calm.

One thing Wang Chengen said is right, the current Ming Dynasty needs stability, if Zhu Chang's martial arts are too hard, some things are indeed prone to accidents. He nodded and said, "It's okay, that's the case, then wait for Zhu Qing to come back, let's talk about it." ”

Chongzhen didn't say anything to death, he still had to see what Zhu Changwu thought. In short, Daming finally appeared a capable minister, he will never treat the other party badly this time, and he has already thought about it, and he will firmly trust the other party in the future.

Think about it, in the seventeen years of his reign, didn't there be a capable courtier?

But later, didn't they all listen to the rumors and end up harming them, so that they have the current situation?

once self-destructed the country and almost died. Now Chongzhen has already thought about it, and Nengchen should be protected, so that they can serve the Ming Dynasty better.

Chongzhen wanted Zhu Changwu to come back and talk to him to see what the other party wanted. But the ministers didn't think so, and after Wang Zhixin, who fled from the palace, learned that the Ming army had defeated the Dashun army, he couldn't believe it at first, and then became panicked like an ant on a hot pot.

This time, he took people to the palace, and Chongzhen should have seen himself. With this incident, even if he wants to return to the court and work for Daming now, I am afraid that he will not have such an opportunity.

Now there is no other path in front of him, and there is only one left, that is, to follow Li Zicheng to the end.

There is no other way to do it is not only Wang Zhixin alone, such as Yang Guanguan and Luo Yangxing.

"Father-in-law, now we have to find a way to deal with Zhu Changwu, it is he who has ruined the plan of King Dashun, as long as this person is removed, King Dashun's stay in Beijing will be just around the corner." Yang Guanguan, of course, didn't want to sit back.

originally thought that he had made the most correct choice, but now, someone told him that he was wrong, how could he be willing to admit defeat.

Yang Guanguan opened his mouth, but Wang Zhixin shook his head after hearing it and said: "Zhu Changwu, the erectionist, has just won the battle for the Ming Dynasty, and it is the time when the emperor trusts him. And with us... How could you possibly deal with him? ”

What Wang Zhixin wants to say is that they have now become the anti-ministers who must be killed in Chongzhen's eyes, and they are difficult to protect, how can they have the ability to deal with the biggest heroes.
