Chapter 200: The God of War
"Haha, hahaha, all this is the assistance of the ministers!" Zhu Qiyu was happy and shared the credit with the other courtiers. For a time, it attracted the voices of gratitude from the ministers, and it was endless.
However, not all the courtiers are shouting that the emperor is the true dragon emperor, just like Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has always maintained a clear mind.
He is already an old minister of several dynasties, and he knows very well that the emperor is just the head of the dragons, otherwise a court will not be able to achieve unity and the clarity of government decrees. As for who will be the head, it all depends on chance and identity.
Just like when Zhu Qizhen was the emperor before, didn't these ministers also shout that the emperor is wise when they have nothing to do, and the emperor is the true son of the dragon? But in fact, after losing the battle, everyone instantly shut their mouths. Now that I'm going to praise Zhu Qiyu again, I really don't know how thick these people's skin is.
But in the court, some things must be in the same dust as the light, if you are too alone, you can only be isolated by the ministers in the end, in that case, it is really difficult to do anything. It's just that even if you shoot the sycophants, do you have to shoot gently, Zhu Qiyu has been staying in the palace nervously, what does it have to do with him winning this battle?
There was some displeasure in his heart, or for the sake of his grandson-in-law, he was holding injustice, when everyone was shouting about the emperor's wisdom and long live the emperor, Hu Hu suddenly said: "Two generals, where is the loyal and courageous marquis?" Why didn't you see it, but went out of the city to chase the enemy, or was you injured in the course of the battle? ”
Someone finally mentioned Yang Chendong. The otherwise noisy scene instantly became quiet.
Hu Hui's words were like a shining slap, and many courtiers were flushed. There is no doubt that the real hero of this battle should be Yang Chendong, but how long has passed, but no one thinks of him, which is indeed a bit too much.
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qiyu's face also turned red, obviously he also knew that he had shown too much just now. If it weren't for Yang Chendong's words, I am afraid that it would be difficult to have such a big victory, but after knowing the great victory, he didn't think about the person with the greatest credit first, but was congratulated by the courtiers here, which was really a bit too much. Fortunately, Hu Hu reminded him in time, and he also asked out loud: "By the way, why is the loyal gallant not here?" Why didn't I see him? ”
Zhu Qiyu pretended to be anxious to show the ministers, which immediately attracted many courtiers to nod their foreheads constantly. They all seemed to praise the emperor's relationship with the heroes, but in fact, only they knew what was going on.
Yang Guang and Sun Yu have long wanted to report on the matter of the loyal and courageous marquis, after all, without this person, there would be no today's big victory, let alone a chance for them to be in the limelight. It's just that the emperor is only asking now, and it seems to be a little late.
Whether it is late or early, no courtier dares to question the emperor's approach. Now that he asked, the two immediately replied on their knees: "Your Majesty, the loyal marquis was not injured, he just said that he was tired and went back to rest." ”
"Tired? Rested? Zhu Qiyu was stunned by such an answer, and stood there with a suspicious face.
"Yes, it's really tired, the truth is this..."Sun Bou opened his mouth to tell the story of what happened on the battlefield, starting with Yang Chendong scolding Xining for being disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and then pointing out that Xining died, and then pointed out that the king of the race also fell off his horse and died, so that the Wara army had no morale and so on.
Everyone listened to Sun Wei's story on the battlefield as if they were listening to a book from heaven, and for a while, everyone's faces were tense, they couldn't imagine that the young loyal and courageous Marquis had such a ability.
While everyone was still digesting Sun Yu's words, Shang Shuyiming of the Ministry of War had already taken the first step to speak: "Commander Sun, do you know what you just said?" In front of you is the emperor, the Son of Heaven, how can you be allowed to open your mouth? ”
"The minister is not talking nonsense, the above are all facts, if you don't believe it, you can ask General Yang and all the soldiers who participated in the war." Sun Zhu'er heard Yiming's accusation of lying, where was he willing to follow, and immediately justified a few words.
A small command department, but just a sixth-grade official, dared to contradict the second-grade military department Shangshu, which naturally made Yiming's face ugly. I secretly made a note of this person in my heart, thinking that I would definitely give him a good look if I had the opportunity, so I set my eyes on Yang Guang's body, "Deputy Chief Yang, let's talk about it, what is the truth?" Of course, you don't have to be afraid of other people's threats, to tell the truth, there is a book in it, no one will dare to embarrass you. ”
Yi Ming said this, not to support Yang Guang, but to guide him in disguise to refute Sun Yu and deny the fact that the biggest contributor to this battle was Yang Chendong.
If you talk about a military department book, to question a deputy commander-in-chief, it is possible for the latter to be scared to pee his pants in peacetime. But Yang Guang, who had just experienced a war, really admired Yang Chendong, where did he dare to make up any bad things at this moment. Immediately kowtowed his head to the ground, "The last general doesn't dare to talk nonsense, what Commander Sun said just now is the truth." ”
"Wow!"
As soon as Yang Guang's words landed, there were bursts of exclamation from the crowd. Hurriedly the two generals said the same thing, so it seems that this matter is serious. It's just that why can Yang Chendong refer to who and who die? Could it be that he has some demon magic that he can't do?
Yi Ming stood there with an ugly face, the two nominally his subordinates, but at this moment, they dared to refute him in public, which was really a very embarrassing thing. Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on themselves at this time, and this face loss was not too ruthless.
After listening to what Sun Yu and Yang Guang said, the ministers knew why they said that the loyal and courageous marquis was tired and needed a good rest, I was afraid that the demon law was too lacking. Of course, there are also some people in the know who immediately think of mercenaries with advanced firearms.
These people only knew that the mercenaries' firearms were very advanced, but they did not know to what extent. After listening to what happened on the battlefield today, they have a new perspective on this matter.
Zhu Qiyu is naturally one of the insiders. But the more this is the case, the more worried he is that this advanced firearm can take people's lives from thousands of kilometers away, so doesn't it mean that if he wants to deal with himself one day, he will also have nowhere to hide?
As soon as this thought appeared, it was like a big stone, which made him a little breathless, and even a little restless.
As the emperor, the most worrying thing is that he can't control the situation, so he can't decide the life and death of others. The joy of winning the battle at this moment has long been less intense, replaced by a sad face.
Zhu Qiyu, accompanied by the great eunuch Jin Ying, left first. Without the emperor, the ministers also lost the mood of celebration, and turned around and went to their own mansion one by one. With today's victory, they can finally go back to sleep peacefully.
In the palace, Zhu Qiyu walked in front with a heavy heart, and Jin Ying followed behind him. It wasn't until he entered the backyard of the palace and there was no one around him that he quickened his pace, and said while half a step behind the emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm worried about the matter of the loyal marquis." ”
"yes!" Without anyone else, Zhu Qiyu finally admitted and said: "The mercenaries' firearms are too advanced, and the relationship between the loyal and courageous marquis and them is so good, once they are..."
Zhu Qiyu didn't say the next words, but he believed that Jin Ying would definitely understand. In a sense, they are grasshoppers on a rope, and only when their throne is stable, can Jin Ying follow the light and hold power.
How could Jin Ying not know these truths, with Zhu Qiyu, he is the Jin Gonggong admired by everyone, without this emperor, I am afraid that he will die without a place to be buried. Even if the emperor has worries and hidden dangers, he must deal with them in a similar way.
"The minister understands, in this case, I will immediately go to the Immortal Residence, talk with the Loyal Marquis, and at the same time see if there is a chance to contact the mercenary generals and reach some kind of agreement with them." Jin Ying reported his thoughts to the emperor.
"Okay, start with both sides, in short, there must be a result, I will not allow anyone who threatens my life to exist." Zhu Qiyu nodded lightly, with a little majesty in his voice.
......
Immortal Residence.
When Yang Chendong returned here, he had an additional title - the god of war.
The First World War was a god, and that's probably it.
A few fingers pointed out, creating a legend that belongs to him. According to reliable investigations, no one in the Ming army was killed in this battle, but more than a dozen people were injured because they were too excited during the pursuit. The achievement of retreating 10,000 enemies with zero casualties is well-deserved to be titled.
This is the benefit of cross-era weapons. It's not that Warat is too incompetent, but it's really the Ghost Sniper's marksmanship is amazing.
In the study of the Immortal Residence, Yang Chendong was listening to the personal report of Yang San, the deputy director of the Security Bureau, with his eyes closed. Post-war summing up is a fine tradition, and Yang Chendong is no exception.
Before this battle, the worst plan had been made, that is, the Warat cavalry did not stop and directly attacked the whole army. If that were the case, the four cold fronts that were lying in ambush outside the victory gate would all attack. If that's the case, no one dares to guarantee that Leng Feng will have no losses under the charge of the chaotic army. After all, their biggest shortcoming is that they are too small. If you really encounter an enemy who is not afraid of death, how many people can be killed with 400 guns?
Fortunately, the wide open door of victory gave the king of the race magazine the illusion that there was such a smooth battle.
"There can be no fluke mentality in war, this point must be conveyed to Commander Leng Song, and it must also be conveyed to the ears of every Leng Feng." Yang Chendong heard Yang Ben say that some Leng Feng had different opinions on just ambushing and not fighting head-on. It generally means that after the young master acted too carefully, his face became very serious.
