Fifteen days later, Chen Shaozong finally returned to Phoenix Castle. As soon as he came back, he went to see Geng Zhongming.

Inside the study, just the two of them, and even the outside of the study, the guards were standing far away, looking outside.

"How?" Geng Zhongming looked at the situation outside, closed the door, and immediately asked as soon as he turned around.

Chen Shaozong's face was excited, and he clearly expressed that there was good news. Sure enough, he immediately took out a letter from his body and said, "My lord, this is a letter from the governor. ”

When Geng Zhongming heard this, he immediately had a hint of surprise on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter, first checked the seal, and then immediately took out the letter paper and read it.

After a while, he finished reading it, and immediately said yes, and then, as if it wasn't enough, he read the letter again.

Chen Shaozong stood on the side, watching Geng Zhongming's face change, and his heart was also happy.

He was a little anxious, and he couldn't wait to tell Geng Zhongming everything he saw and heard. Finally, after Geng Zhongming read it for the second time and finally put down the letter, he said impatiently: "My lord, your decision is really right, even if you die in the future, you will have the face to meet people!" ”

What he didn't expect was that when he heard this, the smile on Geng Zhongming's face suddenly froze, but it soon disappeared, and he looked up and asked Chen Shaozong with a smile: "Did you see the Governor write a chapter and send it to Jingshi?" ”

"yes!" Chen Shaozong didn't think about anything else, and immediately nodded, "Your Excellency the Governor said that as long as we sincerely abandon the dark and turn to the light, the emperor's side should be fine." ”

After finishing speaking, he told Geng Zhongming about the conversation with Lu Xiangsheng as it was.

After finishing speaking, seeing that Geng Zhongming seemed to be still thinking about something, Chen Shaozong talked about what he had seen on the island again: "My lord, don't you know, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would always feel that the battle of Pyongyang was a bit exaggerated. When I first heard about it, I still wondered, how could Jianyu himself boast that the Dongjiang Army was coming, shouldn't it! Actually, my lord, you don't know, Jianyu is still said to be less. At that time, the governor personally led the army, and almost defeated the Yuetuo department in the field. If it weren't for those pig teammates in North Korea......"

Geng Zhongming didn't interject or interrupt, just listened to Chen Shaozong talking endlessly. Of course, he had heard about the battle in Pyongyang, but now he has heard it from Chen Shaozong, and he has a little more understanding.

To be honest, he was indeed surprised, he didn't expect the new Dongjiang Army to be so powerful! But he also came back to his senses, I'm afraid this is also the reason why Huang Taiji must get rid of the Dongjiang Army!

After Chen Shaozong finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, a big man, all showing a woman's gossip on his face, said to Geng Zhongming: "My lord, this time on Guanglu Island, I actually heard a big thing. That Azig, lied! ”

"Oh, lying?" When Geng Zhongming heard this, he confirmed casually. However, he was not too surprised by this, after all, Azig was the only one who escaped back, and it was not strange to tell a little lie.

Chen Shaozong nodded vigorously, and said to Geng Zhongming excitedly: "Yes, he didn't actually escape, he killed Ji'er Harang to be loyal to the emperor, and then came back to assassinate Huang Taiji before he was released!" ”

In his words, he regarded himself as a person of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor naturally referred to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Impossible!" When Geng Zhongming heard this, he immediately flatly denied it.

Whether Azig kills or not, it's hard to say. He didn't think that Azig would have that kind of discipline, and would rather die himself than do it to his own people. However, if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom believed Azig's words and thought that he would come back to kill Huang Taiji, he would be too stupid to be stupid. However, is the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom stupid? Apparently not!

As soon as Chen Shaozong heard that Geng Zhongming didn't believe it, he immediately took it out of his arms again, took out the briefing note he asked for from Lu Xiangsheng, handed it to Geng Zhongming and said, "My lord, if you don't believe it, just read it yourself!" ”

When Geng Zhongming heard this, he was a little curious, so he immediately took it over and looked at it. At this glance, he was immediately attracted.

This briefing probably gives a brief account of the battle of Naturalization City. With Geng Zhongming's eyes, he could judge that this was true. Moreover, since the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered, he has been taking advantage of the weaknesses of the Qing Dynasty and the Mongolian alliance, and finally annihilated the Qing army, and at the same time wiped out the two large Mongolian tribes, which can be said to be a matter of course. And he also saw from it that the army of the Ming Dynasty was not the army of the past, it was really capable of fighting. Even if the Qing army was blocked and the city was blocked, and the dog jumped under the wall, it was finally prevented. I have to say, amazing!

By the way, seeing that Azig killed Zilharang and promised to come back to kill Huang Taiji, this kind of thing is not what Geng Zhongming is most concerned about. What he is more concerned about is that what he saw from this briefing was the wisdom and martial arts of the Ming Emperor, the ability to fight well in the Ming Imperial Forest Army, and the pervasive Jinyi Wei secret agent.

Looking at the analysis in his heart, Geng Zhongming couldn't help but be secretly frightened. Although I already knew that Mingguo was even more powerful, I didn't expect it to be so powerful!

It's not that he didn't think about whether this briefing could be faked by Lu Xiangsheng. However, from the analysis of the paper, date, and so on of this briefing, he concluded that there should be no falsehood.

As soon as this was confirmed, he was even more shocked.

After a long time, he looked up and asked Chan about the details of the briefing.

When Chen Shaozong heard this, he said it again. After finishing speaking, he saw that Geng Zhongming did not speak, so he spoke to himself about what he had seen and heard after he went to the island, and finally sighed: "If after the death of Mao Dashuai, the imperial court can send Governor Lu to the Dongjiang River, how good it would be!" ”

As soon as Geng Zhongming heard this, the image of Lu Xiangsheng appeared in his mind: he can be literate and martial, and he can eat and live with ordinary soldiers, and share weal and woe, this kind of commander is estimated to be only comparable to Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, right? If only after Mao Shuai died, the imperial court could really send such a governor to Phi Island......

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long while, Geng Zhongming came back to his senses and asked some more things before he ended this secret conversation.

When Chen Shaozong was about to open the door when he went out, he remembered something, so he turned around and reminded Geng Zhongming: "My lord, don't be fooled with the military news to the Governor, don't forget that there are Jinyi Guard's secret agents, if the Governor knows that we are fooled, this is not sincere!" ”

"Okay, I know what to expect." Geng Zhongming listened, agreed, and then watched Chen Shaozong open the door and go out happily.

He sat in his study by himself, and he didn't go out, he just sat there.

After a person calmed down, he thought back to the whole thing, and felt that he seemed to be a little impulsive just now. In any case, it is impossible for the Ming army to undergo such a big change in just a few years!

Thinking of what I saw and heard when I was under Governor Sun before, I saw a lot of ugliness in the officialdom of the Ming Kingdom. Even Sun Zhongcheng, who is kind to him, is actually prejudiced against them warriors in his bones. At that time, the new army was the most capable of fighting. When he rebelled at the beginning, how hard it took Ming Guo to drive him into the sea, he also knew it in his heart......

I don't know when, there was a "squeak" sound, and the movement of opening the door made him come back to his senses, and when he turned his head, it was his son Geng Jimao who slipped in.

Closing the door like a thief, he walked towards Geng Zhongming and asked expectantly, "Dad, how are things?" The governor of the Ming Kingdom didn't doubt it, right? ”

Geng Zhongming listened, did not answer, but handed him Lu Xiangsheng's letter.

After reading it, Geng Jimao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Geng Zhongming: "Dad, it seems that this Lu Xiang has been fooled, this is really good, he finally lived up to the emperor's expectations!" ”

Seeing his son's happy expression, Geng Zhongming didn't feel good in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he said: "You go to Shengjing, secretly ask to see the emperor, and report the situation to the emperor." And asked to give Liaodong military intelligence news, so that it would be good to reply to Governor Lu! ”

"No problem, the child will go immediately!" When Geng Jimao heard this, he immediately agreed, turned around and wanted to leave.

When Geng Zhongming saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, opened his mouth to stop his son, wrote a concerto, sealed the letter with Lu Xiangsheng and the briefing, handed it to Geng Jimao, and explained: "Be careful, go secretly, don't let people arouse suspicion." Jinyi Wei secret agent, but everywhere! ”

"Dad, don't worry, this is a major matter explained by the emperor, and the child will do it even if he works hard!" When Geng Jimao heard this, he immediately said.

Geng Zhongming frowned when he heard this, and immediately said, "What do you want you to do desperately?" Phew! ”

When Geng Jimao heard this, he smiled and hurried away.

As a result, Geng Zhongming was left alone in the study.

He sat by himself for a while, and suddenly took out a letter from his bosom and read it again.

This letter was secretly sent by his brother Kong Youde.

I heard that he was robbed of the prince of King Huaishun, and Huang Taiji had a lot of opinions about Geng Zhongming, which made Kong Youde very worried. Although he sent someone to contact Geng Zhongming, if Huang Taiji knew, it would affect him, but he finally sent someone to ask about the situation.

He looked at the letter for a long time, and finally he sighed, found a flint, and burned it with a fire.

…………

Eight days later, in the Chongzheng Hall in Shengjing City, Geng Jimao, who came secretly, saw Huang Taiji alone, and he was excited, and immediately threw off his horseshoe sleeves, and shouted long live while kneeling on the ground.

Huang Taiji looked at him and was very satisfied, such a pious slave is still rare, it is rare for Geng Zhongming to give birth to a good son!

Leaning forward slightly, he said "flat" first amiably, and then asked, "Geng Qing sent you here, is it something I explained, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Geng Zhongming's son secretly came to ask for a meeting, if nothing else, it must be that matter.

Sure enough, when Geng Jimao heard this, he replied respectfully: "What Your Majesty explained, my father did with twelve points of effort. Your Majesty is wise, and there is indeed a reply from Lu Xiangsheng of the Ming Kingdom! ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately took out Geng Zhongming's copy of the piece from his arms and presented it with both hands.

When a eunuch on the side saw it, he immediately stepped forward, took the wooden box with both hands, and handed it to the imperial front. And find the key to open the lock, take out the music inside, and then put it on the imperial case, this is the so-called secret music.

When Huang Taiji saw it, it seemed to be very thick, and he was a little curious, so he immediately looked at it.

When he looked at Geng Zhongming's recital, he had a smile on his face at first, but after seeing it, his face slowly changed, and the smile disappeared.

Soon, after reading the recital, he immediately looked at the remaining two things.

Lu Xiangsheng's handwritten letter to Geng Zhongming, he just skimmed through it hastily and put it aside. Then he picked up the briefing and read it carefully.

Looking at it, he suddenly slapped the royal case and made a "snap" sound, which immediately startled Geng Jimao, who was waiting below, and frightened him to kneel down quickly.

His action brought Huang Taiji back to his senses, so he took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Geng Jimao: "It's none of your business, get up!" ”

"The slave sent his father's recital, which made His Majesty so angry, is this the slave's!" Geng Jimao didn't get up, but bowed his head and wept.

His words made Huang Taiji cry and laugh a little, and invisibly, it also diluted a lot of the bad feelings in his heart.

"I said, get up, you probably haven't seen anything attached to this piece." Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Father did a good job and let me know something else!" ”

"The slave really doesn't know that the father let the slave rush to Shengjing immediately after the seal was sealed." A big stone fell to the ground in Geng Jimao's heart, and after explaining, he finally stood up and stood with his hands down.

Huang Taiji secretly praised in his heart when he heard this, this Geng Zhongming knew how to be measured, and he didn't shout about Azig's affairs.

I have to say that after reading this briefing, his heart is even heavier.

He didn't say that he was worried that Azig would really assassinate him when he came back this time. Instead, from this briefing, he saw the strength of Ming Guo again, which made him feel very pressured!

This time to deal with Lu Xiangsheng and his Dongjiang Army, only Geng Zhongming's father and son know, even if the Jinyi Wei secret agent is really everywhere, this time he must not know!

Thinking so in his heart, he made a decision, and explained to Geng Jimao: "What your father asked, I will prepare it, and I will have someone give it to you early tomorrow morning." ”

In order to hang Lu Xiangsheng, a big fish, what kind of news should be given, this is something he has to think about. After all, first, it is still a bit difficult not to let Lu Xiangsheng suspect, and second, not to let the latent spies know about the subsequent arrangement.

When Geng Jimao heard this, of course he would not have an opinion, so he hurriedly agreed, and then he was led out of the palace by the inner attendant and went to the post station to rest.

After rushing for several days, when I arrived in Shengjing, I should always relax. However, Geng Jimao knew the seriousness of the matter, he came in secret, and of course he would not go out into the wilderness. It's just that in the post station, I will explain it and ask a few beautiful slave girls to accompany the wine.
