Chapter 70 Good News (2)

Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude were reviewing memorials in Wenhua Hall. Since the emperor personally led the expedition, Ma Shiying spent most of the time working with Lu Jiude and his two days. They were both external ministers and internal ministers, firmly grasping the power of the court.

Because Wenhua Palace is a place for internal and external ministers to work, even the eunuchs who serve are always light-hearted, for fear that a little sound will cause unhappiness from the chief assistant and the general manager, otherwise it is possible to lose their lives. You must know that the weather is hot now, and people are angry, not to mention that the emperor's imperial guards go to war is even more heavy in the hearts of the two adults. Whoever makes a little sound is definitely looking for death. It is usually clear that even the needles fall to the ground here can be heard.

Suddenly, a huge noise came from outside, breaking the silence of the entire Wenhua Palace. Ma Shiying frowned and angrily put down the brush in her hand, shouting: "Who is outside?"

As soon as Ma Shiying finished speaking, Wang Duo walked in with the six chief officials. Two messengers were following them. Before Ma Shiying could speak, Wang Duo was already shouting: "Sir, the emperor has a great victory, the emperor has a great victory."

"Great victory." Ma Shiying reacted, and he said excitedly: "What you said is true... Really, the emperor is really victorious? Where is Zuo Liangyu, has he withdrawn?"

"No, Zuo Liangyu did not retreat. He was already dead. The emperor wiped out Zuo Ni's army."

When Ma Shiying heard that Zuo Liangyu had not retreated, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. These days, Zuo Liangyu's army was like a big rock pressing on his heart, but when he heard the following sentence, Ma Shiying couldn't help but open his mouth wide. In his opinion, although the emperor had won a great victory, it was amazing that he temporarily repelled Zuo Liangyu's attack. Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu was already dead and his subordinates were all wiped out.

"Hurry, tell me, what's going on?"

"Sir, please ask them about the details." Wang Duo pushed out the two messengers.

"See sir."

"Okay, don't be too polite, talk about the great victory of the emperor." Ma Shiying said impatiently.

The two messengers licked their dry lips and explained the emperor's personal expedition process in detail. Of course, there were many exaggerated words, such as Zuo Liangyu's death. In the mouths of the two messengers, Zuo Liangyu was completely scared by the news that the emperor was in charge of the emperor's personal expedition. He died of fear after losing his first battle. Jin Shengheng and others were also the result of the emperor's far-sightedness and sending people to contact him.

"God bless me! God bless me! God bless me! "After hearing the messenger's report, Ma Shiying was covered in tears and shouted regardless of the image of his chief minister. The difference in strength was too big. It was a miracle that the emperor could repel Zuo Liangyu, not to mention annihilation of Zuo Liangyu's entire army, and his own losses were minimal. Isn't this Tianyou?

Seeing Ma Shiying crying, Lu Jiude, Wang Duo and others also followed suit. These people were either supportive heroes or the emperor mentioned it to the end of the day, and were the ones who benefited greatly from the emperor's ascension to the throne. If the emperor was defeated, even if they surrendered to Zuo Liangyu, they might not have a good result.

Lu Jiude bowed to the north while crying, "The emperor is brave and powerful, but he still has no hero. My Ming Dynasty revival is expected, and my Ming Dynasty revival is expected."

Compared with Ma Shiying Tianyou's words, Lu Jiude's words are undoubtedly more deeply rooted in people's hearts. If the Ming Dynasty was revived and the emperor was the lord of the Zhongxing, they were naturally the ministers of the Zhongxing. If it was just a joke a few months ago, they really saw the opportunity for Zhongxing. Zuo Liangyu raised an army and was easily defeated by the emperor's 50,000 troops. Such an incredible thing could happen, so how could the Ming Dynasty not revival?

"The Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation is expected, and the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation is expected." Wang Duo and the officials of the six ministries replied with this sentence as if they were crazy. The guards outside didn't know what had happened, so they could only look at each other.

With a "dong", the messenger who had just reported the message was tired and exhausted, and could no longer support him. He fell down straight and the crazy ministers in the hall woke up. Ma Shiying hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, ask the doctor to bring the food and water, and never let him get any accidents."

There were already firecrackers in the city. Since the three knights who claimed the victory shouted out the victory, the firecrackers began to ring. Gu Daya, who rescued a messenger of the victory, had become a hero among the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate. After the messenger left, many people surrounded Gu Daya and asked about the specific news of the victory.

Although I knew that the emperor had a great victory, but I didn't know what the victory happened, it was a disadvantage. Gu Daya, the only person who knew the most, was naturally sought after by everyone. Even Gu Daya's boss urged Gu Daya to tell the story in the crowd.

Gu Daya was flattered. He had never been so glorious. However, he only knew a rough idea from the messenger. Of course, this could not satisfy the audience. Gu Daya could only use his imagination and brag as much as possible based on the information in the messenger's mouth. As a result, the more he blew, the emperor became a god. He just waved his army and Zuo Liangyu's army was wiped out. Although there were many loopholes, others listened with relish.

At night, except for firecrackers, lanterns were lit in the entire Nanjing city. From a distance, the lights in the city were dotted, and the entire Nanjing became a city that never sleeps. Countless people began to march around the palace under the lanterns to express their joy, and cheers came one after another.

The yamen runners of the Five Cities of the Military City also promptly lifted the order of martial law at night and allowed the people to hold a grand parade. These days, everyone is worried about the news of the emperor's failure. It has been suppressed for too long. Now they can be released. The morale and civilian spirit of Nanjing have reached its peak. At this time, the northern Tartars, which are described as green-faced and fangs, have become unterrible. As long as the emperor is there, the rebels or the Tartars are not the emperor's opponent.

Some people are happy and some are worried. At Liu Zongzhou's mansion, all the Donglin Party members couldn't help but shake their heads. They really couldn't understand why Zuo Liangyu failed and ended up dead.

"Sir, will this news be fake?" Jiang Yueguang asked. He had a little military affairs, and from which perspective the emperor had no chance of winning. At least he would not win so quickly. But he followed Jiang Yueguang and shook his head again. Jiujiang was not too far from Nanjing. Even if he was fake, it would take only a few days to expose it. What's the use?

"It should not be fake. The three people who reported the victory were indeed the Yulin Guards beside the emperor. They stayed asleep and ran for two days and one night before they arrived in Nanjing." Liu Zongzhou said.

"Oh." Everyone sighed. The sound of firecrackers and parades outside were so harsh that they were incompatible with their mood. Without Zuo Liangyu, the Donglin Party members completely lost the capital to return to the court.
