Chapter 447: Recital
The guards went straight to the Qianqing Palace with the newspaper in their hands.
In the Qianqing Palace, several cabinet scholars were discussing with the emperor.
Taking advantage of the gap between speaking, Gao Feng walked in softly and whispered beside the emperor: "Your Majesty, Shuozhou six hundred miles to expedite the report." ”
The emperor's face did not change when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh, the report from Shuozhou is coming?" Present! ”
Gao Feng immediately walked outside the hall, and the hall immediately quieted down, and the needle drop could be heard, and the matter that was still being discussed just now seemed to be no longer important, and their attention was all on the Shuozhou Newspaper.
Gao Feng entered the hall again with the newspaper in his hand, and the eyes of several scholars couldn't help but focus on the newspaper that Gao Feng was holding in both hands.
"Your Majesty, I have experienced it, but I have never opened it."
The emperor took the recital and tore it directly, took out the recital and looked at it, his brows shrunk.
Several scholars glanced at the emperor's expression slightly, and their thoughts were different.
Could it be that Tang Ning did not perform well in the war in the border town this time?
They weren't worried about any danger in Tangning, if there was any danger, it wouldn't be such a calm six-hundred-mile rush.
The reason why the emperor frowned slightly was because the barbarian invasion had caused a lot of losses to the border town. Of course, he was also very relieved.
Although there are only a few words in the recital, it is very clear that Tang Ning led his troops to fight in the field and repelled more than 10,000 barbarian troops.
This is a real credit, and no one can fault it! The emperor was not dissatisfied with the fact that there were only a few words in the recital.
On the contrary, the emperor admired the letter very much, and the trilateral governor became more and more sophisticated.
And the emperor knew that Yao Rong would have a secret letter sent later, and there would definitely be a detailed story of that battle on it.
The emperor frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "This time the barbarians are menacing, which has caused a lot of pressure on the border town, but fortunately, the reinforcements I sent have played a big role, and it can be regarded as reducing the pressure on the border army, even so, it is a lot of casualties, full of devastation!" ”
Several scholars, including Gao Feng and the others, were not surprised, because they had known about the menacing barbarians this time, so they had a premonition about the loss of the border town this time.
But what is curious is that the emperor said that the army sent for reinforcements played a big role, what kind of role did it play?
In fact, they also knew in their hearts that Yao Rong would share the credit to Tang Ning no matter what, and the biggest possibility in their minds was the credit for defending the city.
The emperor handed the chapter to Gao Feng and said, "Pass it on to a few pavilion elders!" ”
The chapter was first delivered to the Shoufu scholar, who looked at it at a glance and ten lines, and did not slow down until he reached the place about Tang Ning.
The loss of the border town was still in his expectation, and to his surprise, General Huaiyuan actually let Tang Ning lead his troops into battle.
Moreover, Tangning also led a large army to defeat the army of barbarians.
Even the Shoufu University Scholar, who had been up and down for a long time, couldn't help but be slightly moved when he saw this, because he could imagine the shock that this news would have on the outside.
However, he did not doubt the truth of this content in the slightest, because it was impossible to falsify it in such a big war.
The slightly moved appearance of the cabinet chief assistant fell into the eyes of several other people, which made them more and more curious.
Several cabinet scholars were moved when they browsed the concerto, not to mention the curious feeling in Gao Feng's heart who couldn't see the concerto.
With his intuition, these scholars were moved by Tang Ning, so he became more and more curious.
The first assistant of the cabinet said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this time the barbarian army is menacing, and the border town has suffered heavy losses, if it weren't for General Tang leading the army to defeat the barbarian army under Xiyue City, the situation is simply unimaginable!" ”
Although there were many speculations in his heart, Gao Feng was still shocked when he heard Elder Ge's words, and his face couldn't help but be moved.
Like most people, he felt that Tang Ning led the army to reap the credit this time, relying on General Huaiyuan.
As a result, Tang Ning actually led a large army to fight the barbarians himself, and defeated the barbarian army. I just don't know what the final result will be.
If he could see the music and know the final result, he would have been even more surprised.
The emperor shook his head and said, "The border town still has to be controlled by Yao Rong, and Tang Ning is just sharing his pressure." However, I asked Tang Ning to go to the border town because he wanted to experience experience, and his performance was not bad. ”
The emperor didn't praise Tang Ning much, and after saying this, he said lightly: "The cabinet will work with the Ministry of War to draw up a charter for dealing with the aftermath." ”
Several cabinet scholars bowed down and said that these things have been regulated in previous years, and it is not difficult to draw up a charter, but it is inevitable that there will be some confusion in terms of rewards and punishments.
The cabinet elders withdrew from the hall one after another, and the emperor sat in a chair in a daze, if anyone dared to look closer, they would find that the corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly upturned.
This six-hundred-mile rush broke the tranquility of the capital, and the news that the barbarians had been repelled quickly spread in the capital.
But compared to this news, the hundred officials in Beijing still care more about Tang Ning, after all, Tang Ning is not an ordinary general, he has other identities.
Most people in the capital think that Tang Ning's trip to the border town this time is a good way to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and he is protected by General Huaiyuan and mixed with merit and qualifications.
No one expected that Tang Ning would lead his troops out of the city and fight the barbarians. And it was not a small fight, it was a big battle with more than 10,000 barbarian cavalry in the wilderness, and the battle lasted for two hours.
In the end, he defeated the barbarian army and beheaded more than 4,000! There is no doubt that this is a big win! In addition to General Huaiyuan, there are few people in the border towns who can do it.
All the officials, even the most provocative Yushi, had nothing to say when they found out, because it was beyond reproach, and it was a big victory.
But there is no boasting in the recital, just a calm narrative of what happened, but anyone can feel the weight of it.
Many officials in the capital, especially the henchmen of the eldest prince and the second prince, are waiting to pick a thorn, and they are dumbfounded, they can't find a thorn at all.
The eldest prince listened to the report of his subordinates in the mansion, and the expression on his face was also a little complicated, if he was allowed to lead troops to reinforce the border towns, would he dare to lead the cavalry and the cavalry of the barbarians to fight in the field? Can he lead a great army to defeat the army of barbarians?
Ask him heartily, he felt that he didn't dare, and he couldn't do it.
That's why his heart is even more complicated, Tang Ning's qualifications have added such a heavy stroke, which must have strengthened the emperor's heart.
Who can compete with Tang Ning?
In the past, he only envied Tang Ning and envied Tang Ning for having his mother's protection, but now he has a trace of admiration for Tang Ning.
Fortunately, his mentality has changed, although he is also a little unwilling and disappointed, but he does not have jealousy.
