A middle-aged official paced over, saluted Lord Zhao, and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness King Chen is a true military god, and he will wipe out several times the rebels in half a day." ”

"That's that, tens of thousands of Jianyu were also wiped out in an instant, not to mention the Cantonese army."

"With a national pillar like King Chen, Daming Zhongxing is not far away!"

Previously, I had only heard that Chen Wangjiangxi and Fujing were constantly annihilating the Qing army, killing tens of thousands of prisoners, and the officials of Tianxing Mansion did not have any intuitive feelings, and even had some thoughts that the prisoners could not be warned.

And this time in the battle in front of Tianxing Mansion, they saw Zhang An and Su Ping's army show off their strength and power out of the city, and they were hung under the city after only half a day, and more than 10,000 soldiers were tied up, kneeling in the open space outside the west gate of Tianxing Mansion under the threat of firearms.

The strong impact of this personal feeling completely shocked all the officials, and with it was the horror and awe of King Chen's powerful military power.

It is that the courtiers gathered outside the noon gate all played their best to praise King Chen's outstanding military achievements, and the good words that could be thought of were used on King Chen without hesitation.

After the scene was finished, Lord Zhao lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Tang ...... Tang Wei is dead? ”

The middle-aged official nodded and said, "I got a reliable letter and killed myself." ”

"A few adults can know His Royal Highness King Chen...... What are the plans? ”

A slightly chubby official looked around and whispered: "A close friend of the official in the palace has sent a message that His Royal Highness has welcomed the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother back to Ciqing Palace. ”

The rest of them all looked at each other and nodded.

Several other courtiers not far from them also whispered.

"You don't know, do you?" One of them pretended to be mysterious, "His Royal Highness King Chen claimed to have only led five or six thousand soldiers and horses, but he was really confusing the thieves. The lower officials heard that the army had this number. He gestured with an eight.

"Eight thousand?"

"Where, it's eighty thousand!"

A few people on the side gasped and nodded one after another, "No wonder the thieves were defeated so quickly." ”

The man suppressed his voice and said, "I wonder how many labor troops you plan to take?" ”

"Lao Jun?"

"Tang rebellion has been removed, who do you say will be respected in Tianxing Mansion in the future......"

Those people suddenly realized, "What Ji Tongzheng said is very true, how much should you think?" ”

"The lower official wants to take three thousand taels, but it depends on the direction of the wind."

"Then I'll have three thousand taels ......."

Of course, there are also discordant voices stirring up in it.

"It's just a year of relying on force and a weak crown......"

The officials around him all looked sideways, avoiding thirty paces away like a plague.

There were also many people who squinted at the majestic Dragon Guard soldiers outside the noon gate, sneered and wrote down what the man said, and had already prepared a recital to join him in their hearts.

Subsequently, more than a dozen people were summoned into the palace by Huang Daozhou and Lu Zhenfei, and the rest patrolled outside the noon gate.

It was close to dinner time, when a young man in a crisp dark green military uniform was seen coming out of the noon gate surrounded by one hundred and forty or fifty soldiers.

All the courtiers were immediately shocked, and their hearts were not waiting for this day in vain, and then they all knelt on both sides of the road, and shouted: "Meet His Royal Highness King Chen!" ”

And then there are things like, "Your Highness has set the country to quell the chaos, and it is a great achievement!" "Your Highness's outer royal captives, internal punishment of traitors, the style of ancient sages!" And so on and so forth.

When Zhu Linmiao left Tianxing Mansion last year, only the eldest son of Huang Daozhou saw him off, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to draw a line with him, and when he returned here again, he was complimented by hundreds of officials.

He immediately remembered that during the Chongzhen Dynasty, those court officials who shouted all day long for coexistence with the country greeted each other like this when Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, right?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, few of these civil officials still had integrity, but whoever had the big fist would pay homage to whomever they wanted. He sighed in his heart, ignored these people, and went straight to King Chen's mansion with his own soldiers, leaving a group of officials looking at each other.

……

Huang Daozhou handed over the last official document to his officials, watched him turn around and retire, and when he looked out the window, he realized that the moon was on the branches, and only he and Lu Zhenfei were left in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Huang Ge has to pay attention to his body." Lu Zhenfei walked up and helped him sit down.

"It's been a long time since I've been this busy. However, the situation can quickly settle down, and the old man is very relieved, and he is tired. ”

Lu Zhenfei took a letter from his desk and handed it to Huang Daozhou, "What does the old man think?" ”

"What is this?" Huang Daozhou unfolded the recital, and saw that it was Liu Zhentang, the servant of the Criminal Department, who asked the imperial court to crown King Chen as an auxiliary king, but it was just presented in the afternoon.

He didn't know if he could do it, but he turned to look at Lu Zhenfei, "What does the Lu Pavilion Department mean?" ”

Lu Zhenfei already had a plan in his heart, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The dragon cannot travel thousands of miles without a leader, especially nowadays, the rivers are half mourned, and the strong enemy is waiting, and now the lord is young, and the queen mother is described like that......" He glanced out the window, "It is incomparably more suitable for King Chen......"

Huang Daozhou nodded and said: "King Chen arrived in Fujian and Jiangxi, his merits are great, and his conspiracies are far beyond ordinary people, and he is indeed the one who can stabilize the court situation at the moment." ”

Lu Zhenfei said again: "I just don't know what Yang Gebu means...... "He, Huang Daozhou, and Yang Tinglin are both the ministers of the first emperor's edict, and Yang Tinglin's opinion should be consulted on such important matters."

Huang Daozhou took out a letter from his body and handed it to Lu Zhenfei, who hurriedly unfolded it to look at it, and his face immediately showed surprise. This is a secret letter written by Yang Tinglin to Huang Daozhou, saying that King Chen is a great talent in the world, and he actually wants Huang Daozhou to try to urge King Chen to govern, and the society will be prosperous. Looking at the date again, it was before the coup d'état of King Tang.

Lu Zhenfei handed the letter back to Huang Daozhou, and his expression was happy, "If this is the case, everything will be harmonious!" ”

Huang Daozhou immediately said: "You and I will immediately jointly sign the table and invite Chen Wang to assist the government!" He thought for a moment, and then said, "It still needs to be signed by the main courtiers." ”

Lu Zhenfei took out a thick stack of recitals from the cabinet and said with a smile: "These are all today's invitations to Chen Wang Fuzheng, a total of more than 30 copies. ”

Huang Daozhou glanced at him, and also shook his head and smiled.

……

Zhu Linmiao hadn't been able to sleep well on the soft collapse for a long time. And this time, he slept until dawn, and then got up and walked out of the dormitory in good spirits.

He first followed Wang Laixian's instructions, practiced the basic skills of his waist and legs for a while, and ran around the courtyard a few times, and then was called by Princess Chen to ask for warmth, and did not let him go until he had lunch.

As soon as Zhu Linmiao came out of the inner house, he saw Shi Lin coming quickly, and said, "My lord, someone from the Ministry of Rites has come to issue an edict." ”

Zhu Linmiao frowned slightly, secretly wondering if there should be any will in the state of the Empress Dowager Zeng, so what kind of holy decree is this?

He changed into a formal princely outfit and came to the main hall. The officials of the Ministry of Rites had been waiting here for a long time, and dozens of people were hugging each other, and the battle was quite small.

When the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites saw him coming, he hurriedly said, "Please ask His Royal Highness King Chen to accept the order." ”
