Chapter 272 One stone creates a thousand waves!(1/2)
Looking at the ministers who kowtowed in front of him like pounding garlic and praising him, Emperor Chongzhen was really like blowing a bottle of ice and falling in the air in the sky, and he felt uncomfortable without a single pore in his body.
The reason why he tightened his belt and had to mobilize nine-sided elites like Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu to rush to the Central Plains battlefield was because he was afraid that Xu Changqing, the lonely army, would have an accident.
But I never thought...
Xu Changqing didn't need reinforcements at all, and his own army defeated the main force of the bandits!
What is this concept?
The court has been encircling and suppressing bandits for more than ten years and spent no less than 100 million taels of silver, but it is not as good as Xu Changqing's new army that is more than 100,000 taels this year...
"My dear friends, the war in the Central Plains has been settled by Uncle Zhongyi. Is this food and salary no longer necessary to be adjusted from the people?"
Seeing that these people were tired of kowtowing, Zhou Yanru and the others could no longer help, so Emperor Chongzhen was slow to do so.
That kind of arrogance and contempt really make people want to go up and give him a slap.
But this is obviously unrealistic.
"Your Majesty, Bo Zhongyi has defeated the main force of the thieves, so there is no need to worry about the food and salary. I think, for the details of the subsequent Central Plains war report, Bo Zhongyi will be sent to the capital soon. For the old minister's opinion, let's talk to Bo Dingbei and Bo Yutian first."
Zhou Yanru was busy with his words.
"good."
"Emperor, Zhongyi Bo has defeated the main force of the bandits. Even if he fails to annihilate the main force of the bandits, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others will definitely need time to recover. This is enough for the court to collect this year's tax silver. When the tax silver is collected later, Zhongyi Bo, Dingbei Bo, Yutian Bo and others will have almost rested. At that time, they will definitely be able to give the bandits a fatal blow!"
Chen Yan, the old fox, hurriedly rode a donkey on the mill. How could he get a piece of the good thing without getting a share of such a good thing?
Chen Xinjia and others also hurried up to share the cake.
Seeing the respectful appearance of the courtiers, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel better.
But at this time, Wang Chenen, who had just communicated with a little eunuch, quickly came to Emperor Chongzhen's ear and whispered a few words.
Emperor Chongzhen's expression changed drastically, and he was not as calm as before. He hurriedly said: "The cabinet will draft a charter as soon as possible. We will discuss it tomorrow morning! Retreat the court!"
"Retreat!"
With Wang Chengen's shout, Emperor Chongzhen quickly left, leaving only a group of court officials looking at each other, all with unknown horror.
Could it be that this is a false good news?
But, if it is really a false good news, wouldn’t this Zhongyi uncle want...
But who dared to say more about this kind of speculation and retreated to the court one after another, and quickly used everyone's eyes and ears to inquire about the news.
...
After leaving the Huangji Palace, looking at Wang Chengen who was eager to catch up, Emperor Chongzhen said anxiously: "Hurry up, Xuan Houheng meets, I will ask him personally what happened to Bo Zhongyi!"
"yes!"
Not long after, Hou Xun, who had been waiting outside Dong'anmen for a long time, was taken to Dong'an Pavilion.
Just as he was about to salute, Emperor Chongzhen rushed forward: "Hou Ai, please don't treat me. Tell me what happened to Uncle Zhongyi?"
Hou Xun knew that this move would definitely work, but he didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would care so much about Xu Changqing's safety.
I'm really here this trip!
He hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is no accurate news about this matter. The old minister received the good news. While sending someone to Kaifeng to inquire about the details, he followed the good news to Beijing. Just now, the old minister received the news from Kaifeng. It seemed that Zhongyi Bo was sick and had been recuperating for the past few days. However, the old minister's people found out that Zhongyi Bo was not sick, but injured."
"Injuried?"
Emperor Chongzhen's face, which had finally been relaxed before, was already solemn.

To him, Xu Changqing's importance at this time was beyond doubt, and it was really like his amulet!
When Song Jin was about to fall into the abyss of hell, Xu Changqing pulled him up with his life.
Now in the Battle of Central Plains, he even had his bottom and pants stripped down. It was Xu Changqing who almost turned the impossible into a possibility again, pulling him out of the sea of suffering.
Unexpectedly, he actually received news that Xu Changqing was injured at this time...
If something really happened to Xu Changqing, then... Emperor Chongzhen could not imagine that consequence.
"Hou Aiqing, what do you think about this?"
Emperor Chongzhen has been the emperor for more than ten years, but he still has cunning things. Even though he was worried and anxious, he did not reveal much.
At this time, since Hou Xun came here, I think he had already found a solution.
Seeing the emperor's eyes looking at him, Hou Xun couldn't help but feel more indifferent and respectful: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here mainly to report to you the situation of the Central Plains. On the other hand, the old minister later wants to go to Kaifeng and go to the front line to coordinate the post-war arrangements."
Although what Hou Xun said was obscure, how could Emperor Chongzhen not understand what he meant?
This is to be the broker in the middle for him, the emperor and the court.
To be honest, if Hou Xun had dared to play such a trick with him a few years ago, he would have already been slaughtered.
But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to catch Hou Xun and kiss him a few times.
After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen nodded slowly and looked at Hou Xun with appreciation: "Hailei, you are a loyal minister! If I had used a loyal minister like you earlier, why would I be like this in the Ming Dynasty?"
Hou Xun couldn't help but feel happy!
He bet right!
I kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. It is a blessing that I have only cultivated for several lifetimes in my life! I have also figured out a lot of things after leaving the country over the years! As long as you give me your order, the old minister will never refuse even if he goes through fire and water!"
...
The effectiveness of the imperial center is beyond comparison.
As the court center moved rapidly, the news of the victory in the Central Plains was transmitted to every corner of the Ming Dynasty like the wind.
"What?"
"Xu Changqing, did he really win?"
Xiangyang, the mansion of the general who pacified the bandits.
Zuo Liangyu, who was originally like a sleeping tiger, was napping lazily and enjoying massage by a few delicate maids, suddenly jumped up like a hair.
"Master-in-chief, this should be true. The court has issued an announcement. I heard that Master Hou has rushed to Kaifeng City in person."
Zuo Menggeng's originally handsome face had turned into a bitter gourd at this time. He sighed sadly while talking.
Who would have thought that Xu Changqing, who was completely desperate, not only did not break through, but instead... turned the tables...
"Did you say in the good news that how did Xu Changqing do this?"
Zuo Liangyu was so scheming that he quickly realized that he waved his hand and turned away several maids, and he was as calm as water.
"Master, I didn't say anything in detail, but just mentioned that Xu Changqing sneaked into the thief's food camp overnight. It seems that the information we received before that Luo Rucai and He Yilong flowed into Jing was not a false alarm.Master, if, if this is true, then what should we do?"
Zuo Menggeng looked at his father dryly, and the despair in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Although Zuo Liang's face was still calm, his heart was nowhere better than Zuo Menggeng.
Why did he dare to escape again and again on various battlefields? Selling teammates is like selling vegetables?
That's because he had already figured out the foundation of the court!
As long as he has soldiers in his hands, even if he is domineering or arrogant, the court will not want to
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You have to use him, and you have to increase his title!
Before, the reason why he promised Zuo Mengmei to Xu Changqing was indeed to take advantage of Xu Changqing's east wind to really make some achievements and go to a higher level.
But when he really encountered a tough battle and saw that there was no chance, he didn't care much about it?
But I never thought that Xu Changqing's background was ten times more than he had imagined!
Now, Xu Changqing has actually fought against the Central Plains war with his own strength. So, how should his Zuo family handle it?
Seeing what Zuo Menggeng had to say, Zuo Liangyu waved her hand irritably: "Menggeng, you go down first! You're so frightened! It's not falling yet! Even if it collapses, I'll hold you over!"
"yes……"
Although Zuo Menggeng was unwilling to give up, but now that things have come, he has no choice but to retreat first and wait until his father calms down before he comes over to find a solution.
Watching Zuo Menggeng leave, a trace of ferociousness suddenly appeared on the corner of Zuo Liangyu's mouth, "Xu Changqing, I want to see if you are a human being!"
...
Dongqin, Baishui City, Ding Qirui's Qin army's garrison, and the 800-mile rush of the imperial court also arrived.
However, the huge tent of the handsome man has been quiet for almost a quarter of an hour, but no one dared to say a word for it!
Whether it is as fierce as a tiger, Li Guoqi, or Niu Chenghu, everyone has become elementary school students at this moment.
Ding Qirui, wearing a purple python robe, sat on the main seat, as if he was being locked in a cage, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped.
But things still need to continue.
After a while, Ding Qirui breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at everyone in the tent: "Everyone, let's talk about it. What do you think? How should I deal with my Northwest Army?"
There was a slight commotion in the tent.
To be continued...
