"what?"

Xiao Jing was on duty last night, he fell asleep at midnight, was catching up on sleep, but someone woke him up.

In the side hall, he was staring at his godson Wang Liu, and in his hand, he was holding a report sent urgently by Dongchang.

Xiao Jing said with a stern look in his eyes: "Have you checked it out? This is not a joke, Yang Xiong's son is usually peaceful, why did he go to Guizhou..."

"I've verified it. If I haven't verified it, I wouldn't dare to disturb my godfather."

call……

Xiao Jing's face eased a little, and then he suddenly felt, so to speak...

He glanced at the memorial again, and the contents of the memorial to the victory really shocked him.

"Let's go!" Gritting his teeth, he decided to trust Yang Xiong and Dongchang even though he felt incredible.

This is a great contribution. It is an unprecedented victory since the current emperor ascended the throne. Whoever reported to the palace first is also a great contribution: "Go to see the emperor!"

…………

Meridian Gate.

When Zhang Mao arrived here, he hurried into the palace. He had a badge for entering and exiting the palace, and the guards in front of the gate also recognized him, and they all saluted him: "I have seen the British Duke."

Zhang Mao's expression was solemn, and he just nodded lightly. At this time, he also held a good news in his hand.

It was sent by Kuai Ma, the commander of the capital of Guizhou.

Zhang Mao is the governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Although this is a temporary position, in fact, the Five Armies Commander's Mansion has long been emptied.

At the same time, the commanders and envoys of the provinces have been replaced by the commanders-in-chief of the provinces.

But this does not mean that the Commanders of the Fifth Army and the local commanders have completely lost their effectiveness. The Guizhou Commander is still the highest-ranking military officer in Guizhou Province in name, so it is also a good idea to report victory to the Commanders of the Five Armies. Do your part.

After Zhang Mao got the good news, at first he just sneered, pretending to be credited... No one pretended to be credited like this, he was looking for death.

But he quickly felt that something was wrong, and it wasn't until Jin Yiwei sent people to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to inquire about the news that he suddenly realized that a huge victory had happened in Guizhou.

As a British Duke, Zhang Mao, who has served several generations of kings, would not know that the Hongzhi Dynasty needed a huge victory to demonstrate his martial arts.

So, without hesitation, he immediately set off and entered the palace... see you.

At this time, the guard guarding the Meridian Gate said: "Grandpa, you came really early, but today is strange, Commander Mou has entered the palace just now..."

Mou Bin, Commander of Jinyiwei...

Zhang Mao bared his teeth immediately, and was too lazy to talk, and rushed into the doorway hastily.

A moment later, Ma Wensheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who was out of breath, got off the sedan chair and walked towards here as fast as he could.

…………

At this time in the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi looked a little tired after looking at the many test papers.

Although it was an inspection, all these memorials made him unable to lift his spirits, and they were still extremely boring.

He put the test paper aside, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Hey, those who specialize in stereotyped essays, but neglect policy theory, have a brilliant writing style, and those who can hit the point are very rare."

It’s not groundless to express this emotion. In the past, Emperor Hongzhi liked those scholars with outstanding literary talents, but after becoming an emperor, after a year, there will be either a severe drought or a flood, or a flood or a border emergency. It was the chieftain's rebellion, and only then did he realize how important those who can solve practical problems are.

Liu Jian saw that His Majesty was interested in talking, so he also put aside the matter at hand: "Your Majesty is serious."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled noncommittally: "I read Wang Shouren's paper again and again. If there is no problem in the verification, I will choose him as the first. There is also this Yang Wenshi. Ranked thirteenth? This time, he is ranked second..."

He reported more than a dozen names in a row, and when it was the fifteenth, he said calmly: "Ouyang Zhi's policy question is a bit more crafty, and he is ranked fifteenth..."

When Liu Jian heard this, he felt sorry for Ouyang Zhi.

However, he was not very satisfied with Ouyang Zhi's answer sheet. It is true that as His Majesty said, he was too crafty. Fang Jifan's idea of ​​building a mountain camp last time was not unreasonable, but the problem was that it was not unreasonable with others. Compared with the current strategy and theory, it seems that the weather is a bit worse, not to mention that His Majesty has ordered the construction of mountain camps, but apart from wasting a lot of money and food, there has been no victory so far.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang had no objection to this.

Emperor Hongzhi roughly stated his thoughts on this palace examination, and then he was about to bow his head and continue to review the papers.

But at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the Nuan Pavilion, and someone outside said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has handed over a report, saying that it is extremely urgent."

Cabinet?

Now all the academicians in the cabinet are here. It seems that Hanlin who is waiting for an edict has encountered trouble, so he came here to report.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, a little sullen.

Can't these things be done well? Don't they know that he is dealing with more important matters with Liu Qing's family and others?

But when the matter came to an end, he still suppressed his anger: "What report, send it in."

Immediately, an eunuch on duty outside hurried in and saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and then a memorial was placed on Emperor Hongzhi's imperial case.

Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head

Look, but I was shocked.

It's an urgent report from Guizhou!

Reminiscent of the four words of “hundred thousand and urgent” just now, thinking that the military situation in Guizhou must have undergone great changes, Emperor Hongzhi did not hesitate, and immediately took the memorial and opened it. After seeing it, he was completely stunned.

"Your Majesty Wang Shi kowtowed to say hello. Guizhou is preparing to build a mountain camp according to His Majesty's will. A few days ago, the mountain camp went to war and encountered most of the rebels. Three thousand troops fought fiercely with the rebels. Although the rebels are good at mountains, our mountain camp is even braver. In mountain warfare, it is as brave as walking on flat ground. The bandit army was defeated, and the mountain battalion took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them.

Today, 5,371 ranks of the rebel army have been beheaded, twenty-three strongholds have been pulled out, and there is another stronghold. Before the camp in the mountains arrives, the rebel army is raging like a dog with a broken spine. I'm overjoyed, and now I'm rushing to report the victory..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned livid.

The next moment, he ruthlessly slapped the memorandum on the copybook: "Wang Shi, you really have the guts to dare to take credit for it. This is deceiving the emperor, and I will never forgive you!"

Emperor Hongzhi seldom gets angry, at least in front of his courtiers. Of course, if he meets the prince, it is another matter. After all, few people have the courage and IQ to jump around like the prince. .

Surprised, Liu Jian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...this is..."

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang also looked at each other in shock.

"Let's take a look at the Qing family, and see how ugly this Wang Shi is."

The eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out, so he hurriedly took the good news and delivered it to Liu Jian first. Liu Jian only glanced at it hastily, his face turned pale immediately, and then he sighed heavily.

After Li Dongyang and Xie Qian circulated it, their expressions became dignified.

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, clasped his hands behind his back and said, "You tell me, why did this Wang Shi pretend to be credited?"

"I'm afraid..." What kind of person is Liu Jian? He shook his head and said: "When the former emperor was here, if there was a rebellion, once the army's advance and suppression failed, in order to prevent the court from pursuing him, he would write a letter to win, and a victory was created out of nothing. The alchemists trusted by the emperor, or trying their best to curry favor with the noble concubine, misled the previous emperor..."

"That's right." Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "It's really scary. How much I rely on Wang Shi. I never expected that he would be unfavorable in advancing and suppressing. He actually took out such a ridiculous victory to prevaricate me. Are you confused? Thinking of me as the former emperor?"

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that his veins burst out: "Three thousand people beheaded five thousand, so how many rebels are they facing? Dozens of rebels, is this possible? If the rebels are so easy to deal with, then the tens of thousands of rebels before Why is the army repeatedly frustrated? If 3,000 people can solve the problem, what is the use of the 100,000 troops deployed in Yunnan and Guizhou?"

Each of these questions is actually normal thinking and logic. After all, Emperor Hongzhi was not stupid.

Liu Jian also sighed in his heart, but he just said in relief: "Your Majesty calm down, this matter... may not be what His Majesty thinks."

"Is it what I think, or is it that? Could it be that I don't know how to count, am I really so stupid that I can't even tell whether the news is true or not?"

Just as he was talking, another person said outside: "Your Majesty, this servant is asking to see you."

This is Xiao Jing's voice.

Emperor Hongzhi remembered that Xiao Jing was on duty last night, but he didn't expect to fall asleep at this time.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious at first, but now that he heard it, his face became even more displeased, and he said coldly, "Come in."

Xiao Jing entered the pavilion trembling slightly, when he saw His Majesty's furious look, he understood everything, but he smiled slightly, bowed down and said: "The old slave congratulates Your Majesty, congratulates Your Majesty."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi frowned, fixedly staring at Xiao Jing, wanting to explode.

Xiao Jing immediately took out the report, and said without delay: "Your Majesty, Guizhou Zhongguan Yang Xiong has a good news. Guizhou has won a great victory. Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous forever."

And report?

Is it Zhongguan Yang Xiong?

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned. Yang Xiong was from the palace, but he also colluded with Wang Shi to cheat?

This doesn't seem right, Wang Shi's cheating can be understood as taking credit, but Yang Xiong, a eunuch, is a man in the palace, why would he take the risk of risking the world's dissatisfaction with Wang Shi?

A suspicion suddenly arose in Emperor Hongzhi's heart, maybe...was he bought by Wang Shi?

Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward to take the victory report, and looked down. The content inside was actually similar to Wang Shi's report.

He still had a sullen face, but suddenly became quiet.

what happened.

He may not believe in Wang Shi or Yang Xiong, but if two people are together, can't they be trusted?
