The sky in November is very special, the weather is very cold, but the sun is very good, it will make people feel that the cold is not terrible, the warmth can be expected, in the afternoon, there will be old people sitting outside the courtyard wall basking in the sun, three or five people sitting on a small bench chatting, a pot of tea and a handful of melon seeds, the storyteller should have an opening, often with a sentence of how I started when I was young.

The emperor returned to the East Warm Pavilion from the Mao Zhai, the temperature in the room disgusted him, he didn't feel that he was an old man, and he could withstand the cold, but the warm clothes in this room didn't feel cold, and even a little stuffy.

He always wanted to reach out and push open the window again and again, and then retract his hand again and again while watching the sight of Dai Fangzhou, and every now and then, he felt like a child without freedom.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was going out on behalf of the boat, he secretly pushed the window open a gap, and the cool breeze outside blew in and swept on his face The moment he smiled proudly, as if he had successfully found the candy hidden by his parents and secretly ate a small piece, and then saw Lai Cheng coming out of the cabinet house outside, he hurriedly closed the window and tidied up his clothes, as if a child did not forget to wipe the corners of his mouth after stealing food.

Lai Cheng was holding an urgent military report in his hand, and his pace was so fast that even people like him were trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty!"

When Lai Cheng entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, he tripped over the threshold, stumbled in, his face flushed, and he felt that he was really out of character like this.

"Bohai Kingdom, take it."

He handed the military report to the emperor, although the emperor had always been sure in his heart that Shen Leng and Meng Changan would definitely take down the Bohai Kingdom, but when he heard the news, the hand that went to receive the military report couldn't help but tremble, very subtle, of course he couldn't show anything, emperor, be steady.

"It's not a big deal, look at you like that!"

The emperor glanced at Lai Cheng, Lai Cheng smiled, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, did you think that the minister didn't see it when your hands trembled just now?

The emperor casually swept the military newspaper, and did not see the news of who was injured in the military newspaper, so he seemed to put the military newspaper aside very casually: "I know, I plan to let Shen Leng, Meng Chang'an, Yan Kaisong and the three of them return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and see how I treat them for the crime of starting a war without authorization!" ”

Lai Cheng snorted, and then asked cautiously: "On the minister's side, how much should you scold?" ”

The emperor paused when he went to take the hand of the fold, and looked sideways at Lai Cheng: "Running to scold all over the door." ”

Lai Cheng laughed: "Okay, the minister understands." ”

The emperor also smiled: "After taking the Bohai Sea, there will be no worries about the northern expedition of the army in the future, and there is no need to worry about the flanks being attacked by the Bohai people...... Over the years, I have waged wars with foreign countries a little frequently, destroying South Vietnam, destroying the Poor Country, destroying Qiuli, destroying Nanli, destroying the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and now destroying the Bohai Sea, all of which are good news, but it is inevitable that people will say that I am reckless. ”

He glanced at Lai Cheng, and Lai Chengxin said Your Majesty, what are you doing with me.

The emperor slowed down and said, "Shen Leng knows that this battle must be fought, but I really can't convince the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, even if I am the emperor of Daning, I have to be reasonable, right?" ”

Lai Cheng: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

The emperor glanced at Lai Cheng again, and Lai Cheng immediately lowered his head.

"In this way, wasn't Shen Leng demoted by me? Then rise back to the third grade? ”

Lai Cheng raised his head and looked at the emperor, the emperor was a little hairy by him, and then sighed: "Okay, okay, I know, I won't rise back for the time being, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Lai Cheng snorted.

"Meng Changan didn't move either, right?"

He asked the emperor.

The Emperor nodded helplessly.

"Yan Kaisong wants to be rewarded."

As an emperor, he was a little lacking in confidence when he said these words.

Lai Cheng thought that Yan Kaisong must be rewarded, that is Pei Tingshan's people, if Yan Kaisong is not even rewarded, the old general with a hot temper may not know what to do, although in accordance with His Majesty's orders these days, the people of Yushitai have been constantly saying bad things about Pei Tingshan, but it seems that His Majesty feels that it is not yet time, and it is still accumulating, so it is necessary for him, as the capital of the imperial history and as the second assistant of the cabinet, to consider things in more directions, and before His Majesty has decided what to do, Pei Tingshan still has to take care of it.

Lai Cheng nodded: "General Yan Kaisong has no merits, so he should be rewarded." ”

The emperor snorted: "Go and draw up the decree." ”

Lai Cheng bowed, stood again when he went out, and looked back at the emperor: "Your Majesty's glance at the minister just now seems to have a deep meaning, and you won't think about how to punish the minister, right?" ”

The emperor waved his hand: "You don't have to think about punishing you." ”

Lai Cheng suddenly became happy, walked out briskly, and after walking a few steps, he felt more and more that what His Majesty said was a bit of a problem, don't you have to think about it? Is that a punishment that you don't have to think about, or a punishment that you don't have to think about......

After the Battle of the Bohai Sea, all the hidden dangers of Daning outside the Northeast Frontier were leveled, although Bohai is not a strong country, the military strength of such a deformed development of the country is not weak, the reason why the attack on Bohai can be so smooth, the first thing to say is that Daning's powerful sailors, such as the Chu State of the elite also hit Pingguang City, but it also buried 300,000 troops here.

The tactics formulated by Shen Leng and Meng Changan made the Bohai State have no power to fight back, that is, they took advantage of the weakness of the Bohai people's slow mobilization of troops, first used the war in northern Xinjiang to lure the Bohai State to send troops to aid the black army, and when the 150,000 troops of the Bohai State arrived, they immediately attacked the southern part of the Bohai Sea with the naval division as the main force, and with the road conditions in the Bohai Sea, how could the 150,000 elites in the northern Xinjiang be transferred back so quickly.

When the 150,000 people wanted to rush back, Meng Changan stuck behind and killed, and killed the 150,000 troops with tens of thousands of troops.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, the emperor wanted to shout happily, he hadn't felt this way for a long time, it seemed that he had suddenly returned to the time when he was young and led the troops, and it was strange to say, if this battle was won by someone else, the emperor would be happy, but he would definitely not be happy like this.

Chu State attacked the Bohai Sea three times without breaking it, and Daning was determined once he conquered, isn't this enough to show that Daning far surpassed Chu?

What will the future descendants of Daning think of when they mention him Li Chengtang?

Destroy the countries in the south, destroy the countries in the west, and destroy the Bohai Sea in the east.

Even if there was no battle in the northern frontier, he was already the first person after the founding emperor of Daning.

Think about it again, which of these battles to destroy the country did not have Shen Leng?

That's a lucky star.

The more the emperor thought about it, the happier he became, and the speed of dealing with the twists and turns was faster, and it was getting late, so the emperor changed his clothes and asked Dai Fangzhou to prepare the carriage and horses, so that Han Zhaozhi and Ye Liuyun were informed, and the three of them went to the small noodle restaurant to eat noodles.

Lao He, the shopkeeper, saw that His Majesty was coming, the corners of his mouth were about to crack to his ears, and he hung a sign outside the door that was temporarily closed, and then hurriedly and carefully packed up a few side dishes, and scalded two pots of wine and sent them to the table.

It seems to be dozens of years younger.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and Lao He hurriedly went over to the door and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are guests at home today, so it won't be opened." ”

The old dean's voice came from outside the door: "I'm just here to eat." ”

The emperor and they all laughed when they heard the voice of the old dean, and let Lao He open the door, the old dean was wearing thick clothes, and his body looked a little bent compared to last year, but his spirit was still so good, as soon as he entered the door, the old dean sniffed, and then leaned over and bowed: "Minister, bow ......"

The emperor beckoned: "Don't bow down, come and sit." ”

The old dean came over and sat down with a smile, and the emperor personally poured him a glass of wine: "Sir is really omnipotent, I can be found by Sir if I hide here to steal a drink." ”

The old dean said: "The ministers are more professional." ”

The emperor said with a smile: "Sir, I'm afraid that I heard about the victory in the Bohai Sea, so I calculated that I would find a place to celebrate, but it can't be in the palace, and I am not in the welcome building, so it can only be here." ”

The old dean sighed: "Originally, I had already cooked porridge in the academy, and I heard that the Bohai Dajiechen put on his clothes and ran out for fear that he would not be able to rub this wine if he found His Majesty too late, and the minister did go to the Yingxin Building first, but His Majesty was not there, and after thinking about it, this noodle restaurant is still the same as Your Majesty's taste." ”

The emperor asked: "The academy is so close to the welcome building, and the gentleman also asked people to prepare a car for a sip of wine, and his spirit is commendable." ”

The old dean was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood the minister, how could the minister have to take a car from the academy to the Yingxin Building in order to rub the wine, the minister arrived at the Yingxin Building and found that His Majesty did not come, so he hired a car at the door." ”

Emperor: "......"

The emperor smiled and said, "Sir has come just in time, I have something that is really unpredictable, so I want to ask Sir." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

The old dean stared at the glass of wine and replied.

"Shen Leng and Meng Changan, I want to reward, but I can't reward it, such a big merit, just because it is an unauthorized war, so if this reward is given, it will violate the law of the country, and if you don't do it, the two of them are already extrajudicial favors, at most it is a merit and demerit ......"

The old dean pondered for a moment: "I heard that Shen Leng and Meng Changan found a six-foot-high coral tree when they destroyed the Bohai Sea, and the shape of the coral tree resembles the Ning character of Daning. ”

The emperor was stunned: "Where are there any coral trees?" ”

The old dean shrugged his shoulders: "Your Majesty said that there is one, and there is merit in offering treasures, and it is not a matter of fighting the Bohai Sea." ”

The emperor looked at Han Zhaozhi, and Han Zhaozhi pointed at Ye Liuyun: "Let him do it." ”

Ye Liuyun had a question mark on his face.

The old dean took a sip of the wine glass and said slowly: "It's a pity, the treasure that the two people worked so hard to find made people rush back to Chang'an to dedicate it to His Majesty, but the ship that sent the treasure was robbed by the Sang pirates halfway. ”

The chopsticks in the emperor's hand stopped.

A smile on the corner of his mouth.

Han Zhaozhi and Ye Liuyun glanced at each other, and then raised their wine glasses at the same time.

"Respect for the old ginger."

The old dean laughed and took a sip of wine: "It's so spicy, it's really spicy." ”

His Majesty will definitely fight Sang Guo in the future, so the old dean will think of this method, this method is not good or bad for adding some rewards to Shen Leng and Meng Changan, and the treasures have been lost, so don't talk about rewards, it is okay to add a punishment, but if it is because of this matter, the courtiers will not say anything.

The main thing is that it was a coral tree, a coral tree that looked like the word Ning.

If the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that they had been robbed by the pirates of the Sang Kingdom, would they be able to bear it?

In the future, when His Majesty decided to use troops against Sang State, he thought of this coral tree that looked like the word Ning, and he was afraid that not to mention the military generals, the civil officials would also shout in their hearts to fuck him.
