Five days have passed, time is very precious, but Su Tiancheng is waiting in the capital, and there is no way to be in a hurry. He knew that the battle in the court must be very fierce, and many times, Zhu Youzhen did not do whatever he wanted, and the collision between imperial power and vassal power had gone through so many years, and to a certain extent, the vassal power even had the upper hand.

On October 14, the eunuch came to Su Tiancheng's mansion and told Su Tiancheng to go to the Forbidden City on October 15.

Early in the morning, Su Tiancheng set off from home and hurried to the Forbidden City.

During this time in the capital, Su Tiancheng didn't even see Hong Chengchou, it is said that Hong Chengchou and his party were waiting in Beijing, and they were not allowed to go out if they had nothing to do, and they were not allowed to contact other court ministers, from this point, it can be seen that the struggle within the court was fierce, Hong Chengchou came to the capital on behalf of Jiang Ningying, and the responsibilities on his shoulders were also different.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......"

Su Tiancheng knelt in front, Hong Chengchou knelt behind him, including Li Yichuan, Liu Guoneng and others, all kneeling, this time the holy decree was not one, including the reward for the Jiangning camp, the disposal of Gao Yingxiang, and the adjustment of Shaanxi officials, and the most important thing was the appointment of some vassal kings and vassal princes.

Zhu Youzhen still did not show up, and the person in charge of reading the holy decree was Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet.

After three consecutive holy decrees, Su Tiancheng's kneeling body was numb, and it took a full hour to do it.

This is actually Su Tiancheng's own request, no wonder others, if they didn't apply to come to the capital, there would be no such thing, but this time they came to the capital. The gain is great, even if it is kneeling all day, it is cost-effective.

The reward that Jiang Ningying received was one million taels of silver, which solved a big problem. Although it is said that Jiangningying still has some savings, but under the current situation, it is impossible for Jiangningying to have too much income, and it is still very difficult to rely only on businessmen such as Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui. The military salary allocated by the imperial court is equivalent to a drop in the bucket.

As for Gao Yingxiang's fate, it has been decided from the moment he was captured alive, this time. Without anyone to speak, Gao Yingxiang was sentenced to be decided.

The adjustment of officials in Shaanxi, as well as the arrangement of the vassal king and the prince of the vassal king, are a bit strange.

After receiving the holy decree, Su Tiancheng was ready to return to Shaanxi, and he went back with Hong Chengchou and others.

Su Tiancheng is still not ready to take his family to Shaanxi, and he will face a lot of things next. There are too many uncertainties, and the family is temporarily in the capital. The conditions are much better, there is no need to go to Shaanxi to endure hardships, but the wives are a little unhappy, they all want to follow Su Tiancheng to Shaanxi, especially Gu Hengbo, because there is no child to drag him down. It is a logical thing to follow Su Tiancheng.

After staying in the capital for such a long time, Hong Chengchou is not isolated from the world, and there are some bigwigs in the middle of the court, if they want to see him, they can still do it. Maybe it was because of something that Hong Chengchou seemed to be a lot calmer, even when he was listening to the holy decree, he didn't have much expression.

"Lord Hong, what experience do you have when you come to the capital this time?"

"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to listen to lies?"

"Hehe, the relationship between us is not a day or two, you see what I want to hear."

"I also told the truth, Jiang Ningying arrived in Shaanxi, it is not necessarily a good thing, I knew that Lu Dao was in such a situation, it is better to stay in Henan Mansion, the conditions are much better, and it will not cause so much attention, all the adults in the court, look forward to Jiang Ningying Camp within half a year, completely exterminate the Liukou, and it is very clear, as long as the Liukou can be eliminated within half a year, the silver taels that need to be spent, the court can be responsible, no matter how much, such conditions are really very attractive."

"Oh, how did you answer?"

"Adults underestimate me, such a big thing, how can I answer it easily, my attitude is very clear, the adult is the commander of the Jiangning battalion, and has the right to decide, I am just the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion, and I can't express my stance at will on these specific matters."

"Aren't you offending those adults by saying this?"

Hong Chengchou's expression became serious, and he spoke word by word.

"I have experienced a lot, I have already seen through it, if I hadn't come to the Jiangning camp, maybe I, a sinner, would have been cut to the people, and I have been fighting with the Liukou for so many years, after coming to the Jiangning camp, my heart has always been very refreshing, there are no constraints, and I can make decisions according to the situation on the battlefield, this is the real conquest, in fact, my inner thoughts, I have always felt that the Liukou finally fell into the hands of the Jiangning Battalion, not to mention the Liukou, even if it is a Houjin Tartar, it will also fall under the banner of the Jiangning Battalion."

"Jiangning Camp has such a good prospect, how can it be easily injured, it is not that there has been such a thing before, Cao Wenzhao is the best explanation, to talk about brave and good fighting, who doesn't know Cao Wenzhao, Liukou heard Cao Wenzhao's name, shouted Cao Laohu is coming, can't dodge, it's a pity, because of some things within the imperial court, Cao Wenzhao actually took a thousand soldiers to meet tens of thousands of Liukou, in this case, it is a rare thing that nothing happens."

"Now, I have regarded Jiangning Camp as my home, and I will resist anything that damages Jiangning Camp, no matter what the other party is."

Hong Chengchou said so much in one breath, and suddenly hugged his fists and saluted Su Tiancheng.

"My lord, I also used to hang the title of secretary of the military department, the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and the rank is not low, but I am always a little apprehensive, I don't know when I am in the road, because of what happened, I suddenly fell down and came to the Jiangning camp, there is no such feeling, so long time has passed, I finally understand, the mind of the lord is admirable, so that I can devote myself to the military affairs, not worry about other things, all the miscellaneous things, the adults have taken care of it, and it has not involved me at all."

"I was originally the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service, the influence of the adults in the imperial court, such as the sky, there is no need to be so polite in front of me, but the adults let me command the Jiangning battalion, this time to exterminate 100,000 rogues, I just commanded the specific battle, and many preparations were done by the adults, but the adults attributed all the credit to my head in the folds, I am really ashamed."

"This time, the imperial court attaches great importance to the victory of the Jiangning camp, and many adults have revealed an optimistic attitude, thinking that the eradication of the Liukou is just around the corner, but I don't agree with this view, the situation in Shaanxi, many adults do not know the way, if it can not be fundamentally governed, it is impossible to exterminate the Liukou."

"No matter what the occasion, no matter who I face, I always adhere to this view."

"The civil affairs of Shaanxi Province, I don't have anything specifically in charge, but I have always been concerned, Jiang Ningying came to Shaanxi, and the fate of Shaanxi is linked, just now I listened to the holy decree, the arrangement of Shaanxi officials, I still have some opinions, I have always felt that the political envoys, according to the inspection envoys, and all command envoys should be adjusted, who knows that the road has not moved this time, the development ideas of the adults are different from their understanding, this is not to create obstacles."

"The current situation in Shaanxi has shown this point, Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang, their abilities are all lacking, this is the actual situation, but the cabinet ignored it, I heard Qu Qingze say, Pu Kaiqiang even thinks that because the Jiangning battalion has won the victory, the government and officials at all levels must manage the people more strictly, which is simply the opposite of the opposite."

"When the adults went to Shaanxi, they were ordered to be in danger, and at such a critical moment, the imperial court should unconditionally support the adults, who knew that such a drama would come out ...... Lu Dao"

Hong Chengchou has said a lot, this is the most Hong Chengchou has said since the two worked together, judging from Hong Chengchou's words, he has completely supported Su Tiancheng.

When Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Su Tiancheng smiled and spoke.

"Lord Hong, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, thinking that everything goes well, it is unlikely, think about it, if all the matters I proposed, the imperial court has complied, does it seem that the imperial court has lost its prestige, especially in the appointment of officials, such a big matter, the imperial court should pay attention to the balance technique, take care of Shaanxi, and think about the situation in other places."

Hong Chengchou was a little surprised, looking at Su Tiancheng, it was difficult to understand, why would Su Tiancheng say this.

"Lord Hong, don't think too much, the adjustment of Shaanxi officials, on the whole, is beneficial to us, all the people who followed me to Shaanxi have been arranged, at least we can control the prefect and governor, as for the counties below, you still need to take your time, don't be too anxious."

"The imperial court also urged me, hoping that the Jiangning camp could exterminate the Liukou within half a year, and I blocked it back, the time I gave was two years, in fact, this time is also very tight, and if we are a little negligent, we will not be able to do it, so we need to work hard, and we can't have the slightest slack."

"After returning to Shaanxi, your main energy is to manage the Jiangning battalion well, in two years, the Jiangning battalion needs to be expanded to 100,000 troops, and this scale will be maintained in the future, the Jiangning battalion has more than 60,000 soldiers, close to 70,000 people, the source of troops is not very worried, the main thing is the supply side, only if Shaanxi can be built well, it is possible to maintain the cost of the Jiangning battalion."

"My energy may have to be transferred to people's livelihood, at least within a year, to initially change the situation in Shaanxi Province, so I need to work hard for you."

"We will work together to completely change the situation in Shaanxi Province in three years, but we don't have to think about happiness, there are still many tasks waiting for us." (To be continued......)
