Zijin City.

As soon as the news of Jining's fall and the news of the blockage of Cao Road spread, all the officials in the court were immediately in an uproar.

Liu Zongzhou, the left censor, took the lead in the troupe and reported: "Long live, Jining is lost, the grain road is blocked, and there is a worry that the nine sides of the capital will be cut off. I think Shandong General Liu Zeqing should be escorted to Beijing immediately, and Chen Xinjia, who recommended Liu Zeqing as Shandong General, should also be punished."

Liu Zongzhou was honest and honest in his official position. This is indeed a fact, but a clean official is not necessarily a good official! Sometimes a clean official is more terrifying than a corrupt official or a treacherous official! For example, in the current situation, the first thing these gentlemen think of is always to hold the responsibility accountable, rather than to solve the actual problems first.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was gloomy and silent.

Chen Xinjia was so scared that his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to defend himself.

The current Emperor Chongzhen is no longer the Emperor Xin when he was just promoted to the throne fourteen years ago. Emperor Chongzhen fourteen years ago was young and ignorant, and full of energy. He could easily believe Yuan Chonghuan's empty words of "Five Years of Pairing Liao", and could also pass on the backbone of the Ming Dynasty Xiong Tingbi, in his rage.

However, now, Emperor Chongzhen will never listen to anyone's words anymore.

Emperor Chongzhen did not express any opinions. He was waiting for the clever minister to figure out his thoughts and then say everything for him.

All officials were silent, and everyone's eyes were turned to the cabinet chief minister.

Cheng Jiming lowered his head silently. He really didn't know how to live long life and did not dare to express his opinions rashly.

Finally, Zhou Yanru, the second assistant of the cabinet, who was standing under the command of Chengji, came out to report: "Long live, Jining tightly hinders the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. This matter is not a minor matter. I believe that the most urgent task is to quickly mobilize heavy troops from the Jiubian towns to suppress them, recover the lost land as soon as possible, and clear the canal roads."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded gently, and only Zhou Yanru could understand his thoughts in the court.

The stone in Chen Xinjia's heart fell to the ground. Although Wansui was not angry when the secret report yesterday, he was just scolded for sending troops to suppress him, no one was sure what would happen in the morning court? If all the officials in the court all spoke in unison to attack him, it would be hard to say whether Wansui would protect him. Today's thoughts... are becoming increasingly difficult to figure out.

"Chen Xinjia." Emperor Chongzhen's majestic gaze turned to Chen Xinjia and said, "Did you hear Zhou Aiqing's words?"

"Long live the remarks." Chen Xinjia hurriedly left his squad and knelt under the Danban, reporting, "I have already dispatched troops to Shandong. I will recover Jining soon and clear the Cao Road."

"Report...Jiningtang News!"

As Chen Xinjia finished speaking, a little eunuch hurried into the hall with his hands holding a pond newspaper. The eunuch Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to take the pond newspaper. Emperor Chongzhen waved impatiently and shouted: "Remember!"

"I obey the order." Wang Chengen bowed, opened the pond and chanted in a sharp voice, "My minister, Datong General Wang Pu, wrote a letter to my lord, Long live the imperial front..."

Wang Cheng'en was so delicate that he deliberately paused when he thought about it.

The eyes of the officials in the court focused on Wang Chengen, and even Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but stand up from the imperial throne and said anxiously: "Read quickly, continue reading!"

Wang Chengen coughed and then recited: "I led 5,000 troops to fight bloody battles for three days and nights, defeated Bailian, 50,000 thieves, beheaded more than 10,000. The remnants of Bailian fled in the wind, Jining has been restored, and the grain road has been opened! Long live our lord, do not think about the grain transport country. I, General Wang Pu, of Datong, bowed my head again."

"Jining has recovered?"

"The Cao Road is also open!"

"Just only five thousand official troops defeated 50,000 White Lotus, the bandit coalition!"

"I also beheaded more than 10,000 levels, and I am worthy of being General Wang!"

A whisper suddenly sounded in the hall, and a light flush appeared on Emperor Chongzhen's face. This was all excited. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had only one thought in his mind. Wang Pu was really good at leading troops to fight! This is really the pillar of the country given to the Ming Dynasty by God.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's concerns were even more serious.

Wang Pu is so capable, and he is far beyond his imagination. Moreover, he is the general system of the border town where he is a military general, not a local governor who is from the imperial examination...

Jining, Shandong.

Huang Degong failed to catch up with Hong Niangzi and Bailian Sect Leader, so Wang Pu had to order the secret way to explode.

The brigade of troops was stationed in Jining for three days, and Shandong general Liu Zeqing arrived without stopping with five hundred light horses. This guy was actually paying attention to the situation in Jining. Hearing that Wang Pu defeated the bandits in Jining, he rushed back as soon as possible to make some credit. This guy couldn't lead troops to fight, but he was a good player to grab credit.

Unfortunately, Wang Pu is not a good man. This guy had already sent a report to the capital and exaggerated the results of the battle in the report five times. Even if Liu Zeqing wanted to take credit, he would only have the soup left.

Wang Pu is a time traveler. Zhen Youcai has lived outside the pass for a long time. Both of them don’t know how muddy and deep the water in the Ming Dynasty’s officialdom is? They don’t know that in the current Ming Dynasty’s officialdom, it’s not a good thing to make too much contribution! The two are still trying hard to make more military achievements for the court and Emperor Chongzhen.

After handing over the defense of Jining to Liu Zeqing, Wang Pu led a large group of troops to continue to march towards the capital. When he passed by Dongchang Prefecture, he was attacked by the Bailian thieves many times, but they were all harassed by small groups of bandits, which was not enough to pose a threat to Wang Pu's large group of troops.

There was nothing to say all the way. Half a month later, the large group of troops finally arrived in Tongzhou. The three thousand Jing camps sent by the Minister of War Chen Xinjia to pick them up had been waiting in Tongzhou for a long time. The three thousand Jing camps should have arrived in Jining to pick up Wang Pu, but the generals in the army were afraid of the White Lotus Sect, so they stopped moving forward when they arrived in Tongzhou.

The navy fleet moored the shore at the Tongzhou Wharf.

Chang Yanling, Li Zushu was commanding two thousand braids to transport goods to the docks. He didn't have to go to the water route from Tongzhou to the capital. Moreover, the navy led by Huang Degong was a foreign army. According to the Ming Dynasty, they could not enter the capital. After arriving in Tongzhou, they had to return to Nanjing.

On the dock, Huang Degongzheng bid farewell to Wang Puyiyi.

Huang Degong said: "General, this is already Tongzhou. The Jing camp that came to pick it up has arrived. The last general's mission has been completed. It is time to return to Nanjing to report to Shibutang."

Wang Pu handed the ronin sword in his hand to Huang Degong and said solemnly: "General Huang Gan, I know that you don't love money, but you will definitely accept this ronin sword! This is what I extorted from the King of Korea, and it is also my general's wish. If you insist on not accepting it, you will look down on me."

"Okay." Huang Degong took the Ronin sword readily and said loudly, "Then I'll accept it."

Wang Pu patted Huang Degong's shoulder hard and said in a calm voice: "Take care!"

"Take care, General." Huang Degong bowed with his fists and said solemnly, "I'll say goodbye until now."

After Huang Degong finished speaking, he turned around and left.

I don’t know when Zhen Youcai came to Wang Pu’s side and whispered: “General, this person is a good man, whether he is leading troops or fighting.”

Wang Pu Youyou asked, "Did you see it too?"

"I can see it." Zhen Youcai nodded, "The people in Jiangnan are weak, and the troops of each garrison have no combat effectiveness, but the three thousand navy under this man can be called a tiger and wolf army!"

Ganqing Palace.

While Emperor Chongzhen was reviewing the memorial, the eunuch Wang Chengen, who was writing, suddenly rushed in and ran in, kneeling down and replied, "Long live the emperor, here you are here."

"Who is here?" Emperor Chongzhen continued to review the memorial intently, and asked without raising his head, "Look, I am happy to you."

Wang Chengen gasped and said, "General Wang, General Wang Pu, General Wang of Datong, is here."

"Is that true?" Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up and asked, "Where has General Wang been?"

Wang Chengen said in a charming voice: "I have passed Tongzhou and will be outside Guangqu Gate soon."

"Thank you for your kindness, I will draft an order immediately." Emperor Chongzhen said loudly, "Wang Pu and his accompanying soldiers can temporarily stay outside Guangqu Gate. The camp and all the food and wages of the Five Army Governor's Office shall make proper arrangements, and no mistakes shall be made."

Wang Chengen said happily: "I obey the order."

Emperor Chongzhen said again: "You have someone to whitewash the Huangji Palace again. Tomorrow, I will summon Wang Pu in the Huangji Palace!"

"Ah, Huangji Palace!?" Wang Chengen was stunned at first, then he replied in a charming voice, "Yes, I obey the order."

Huangji Hall is the highest-quality royal building in the Forbidden City. Only when the new emperor ascends the emperor, canonize the queen, concubine, prince, or major festive festivals such as New Year's Day and Winter Solstice will he hold a grand dynasty here. Emperor Chongzhen usually summons foreign ministers only on the platform, but this time he breaks the land and changes it to Huangji Hall, which shows his importance to this summoning.

However, Wang Chengen understood even more that Emperor Chongzhen attached more importance to Wang Pu than to say that he attached great importance to slave chief Huang Taiji.
