Chapter 297

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Fengyi, a minister of the Ministry of war.

At the beginning, he was also selected as the tall one among the short people, which was the product of compromise without a suitable candidate.

At first, the emperor thought that Zhang Fengyi was a man of great literary talent, proficient in the art of war and reasonable in speaking of the art of war. Such a person should show some performance.

However, the performance of Zhang Fengyi during his term of office disappointed the emperor Chongzhen very much. Although Zhang Fengyi appreciated some of his characteristics, he was also tired of the Ministry of war minister who kept handing in failed transcripts.

The emperor's heart has been looking for new candidates. Now he is very eager to need a military minister who knows the military to preside over the military department for him and be responsible for the mobilization of troops throughout the country.

The Minister of the Ministry of war is a civilian and has always been appointed by clean people. However, the emperor saw that it was not a way to change this. He just couldn't find a suitable reason for it. If there was no suitable reason, he couldn't easily convince the ministers in the court.

The loss of Fengyang this time is the best excuse. If Fengyang fails to recover for a long time, he is ready to take Zhang Fengyi for surgery.

But Zhang Fengyi did such a big thing quietly, which made emperor Chongzhen overjoyed.

Emperor Chongzhen has always believed that Zhang Fengyi is a silent man. A silent man has power. He will burst out at a critical time and surprise everyone.

A few days ago, Emperor Chongzhen had always despised Zhang Fengyi. He spoke a little too sedate and frivolous. He would only talk and would not actually work.

However, Zhang Fengyi secretly did this vote and completely stopped his heart. At this time, he was very happy to hear Zhang Fengyi talking and pointing to the map.

At this time, the official war report also reached the General Administration Department of the imperial court. Seeing such important news, the general administration department immediately transferred to the cabinet. The four cabinet ministers immediately came to see the emperor and reported the great good news to him.

After the cabinet saw the news, they were extremely surprised at first. Second, they found that this strange soldier was not deployed by the cabinet, as if the credit had nothing to do with them.

But there is no problem. As long as they win the war, they all have the credit of their cabinet.

However, the emperor put great pressure on them. If the Fengyang problem remained unresolved for a long time, someone had to get out of the cabinet. It is estimated that Wen Ti Ren's position as the first wheel of his cabinet will also be lost. Now someone has done this. No matter who it is, he has finally stabilized the overall situation. Even if it is not under the door of his problem, this kind of person is also a cadre of the imperial court, and night Bao retained the face of the imperial court.

Such a situation made them overjoyed and immediately reported the good news to the emperor. Who knows, when they reported the good news to the emperor, the Emperor just said faintly, "I know."

The emperor actually knew in advance, which shocked the four cabinet elders. Does the emperor have other information channels besides them?

When they saw Zhang Fengyi, they almost understood that Zhang Fengyi should have received the news in advance.

Wen Tiren and others hurried forward to play, flattered the emperor and praised his good leadership.

Chongzhen said coldly, "what does this have to do with me? Today's victory depends on Zhang Aiqing's strategizing and decisive battle for thousands of miles. He preached my will and ordered Zhu Dadian, Hong Chengchou, and they immediately led troops to Fengyang and attacked Fengyang within seven days, otherwise they would be engaged in military justice."

Without Liu Bu's model, such an order would be very difficult and inhumane for them. But imagine that Liu Bu's more than 3000 troops could defeat Zhang Xianzhong's army, capture Zhang Xianzhong alive and recover Fengyang. Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian supported hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were afraid of enemies and stood still. This is a typical greedy life and fear of death. "

In the past, he had 1000 explanations and 10000 explanations, but now there is no one. Thousands of people can do such a big thing. Are you hundreds of thousands of people pigs? Do you eat dry food?

Even after the emperor issued such a decree, even the cabinet dared not object. If they had found some reasons to explain the situation in the past, but Liu Bu, who had only a few thousand people, dared to attack Fengyang. This courage was not what Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian could have. No wonder the Emperor was so angry.

At this time, Zhang Fengyi made a timely speech. He said, "this time, Liu Bu's Dengzhou soldiers captured Zhang Xianzhong alive. They have made great achievements. I don't know what the emperor said."

Zhang Fengyi asked the emperor for an official for Liu Bu this time without money. Liu Bu gave him such a great credit, so he was embarrassed to accept the money. Otherwise, if someone else wanted to work, Lord Zhang's golden mouth asked the emperor for an official. Without more than 30000 Liang, he would never open the golden mouth.

This is called a golden mouth, gold ten thousand Liang.

When Zhang Fengyi said this, even the cabinet ministers were shocked. He said, "Liu Bu, they rushed south to Anqing and attacked Fengyang at the instigation of Zhang benbing?"

This soldier is also another name of the Minister of war.

Zhang Fengyi had no doubt. He said, "exactly."

Wen Tiren said, "why did your Ministry of war give a voice to our cabinet? If you inform us in advance, we can let Hong Chengchou and Zhu Dadian cooperate, and maybe we can destroy the roving bandits in one fell swoop."

Zhang Fengyi said faintly, "Hong Chengchou, Zhu Dadian, the number of mercenaries is 100000. They are afraid of the enemy and stand still. The lower officials only sent 3000 people, and they don't know what role they can play. Therefore, it's better to act secretly. If they make a big fuss, they may let the wandering bandits know and lose the effect of strange soldiers."

Wen Tiren obviously means to blame them, but if Zhang Fengyi loses, he is naturally to blame, but now he has won and made great contributions. He can naturally do whatever he wants. This is called that the winner is not blamed.

If it was done in other places at other times, it would be illegal and might be held accountable by the cabinet, but he came out for the emperor and recovered Fengyang, the capital of China. Who dares to say no?

The emperor only hated that the officers and soldiers recovered too late. If anyone helped him recover in advance, he would only be happy.

Chongzhen immediately said: "The soldiers are crafty and unexpected. When they are unprepared, they can only take the effect of strange soldiers. Zhang Qing's skill is deep in the three tastes of military use and has made great achievements. I am very happy, so I sealed Zhang Aiqing as the crown prince's Shaobao and gave him a python Robe. Governor Liu Yuanqiao of Denglai raised food and grass. The teaching son was wise. The royal decree was transferred to governor Denglai. With a python robe, Liu Busheng made great achievements in capturing Zhang Xianzhong, such as As a result of the recovery of Fengyang, I named him general Longhu and the chief soldier Fengyang. "

Since he has made such a great contribution, if he doesn't give a reward, the subjects all over the world will be dissatisfied. Moreover, this time, the emperor is very happy. Long Yan Damen yuan, so the reward is particularly rich. Liu Bu is only young, but he has hung up the military order of Long Hu general and served as the commander-in-chief of Fengyang. These are some veteran generals of hundred battles and highly qualified generals who are qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of Fengyang Yes, Liu Bu is only young. He has held this position in his twenties and has an unlimited future.

The emperor strongly expressed that Wen Ti Ren did not dare to investigate such a problem again. Did he still show it in front of the emperor that it was too early for you to recover Fengyang, the emperor had to slap him in the face and hit him in the mouth?

As far as the imperial court is concerned, Liu Bu's surprise soldiers are outstanding this time. He rushed to Anqing to defeat Zhang Xianzhong and captured Zhang Xianzhong alive. The inspired prestige of the imperial court is also a very good thing for the imperial court, so they also welcome and praise it very much. You know, the current imperial court is getting worse and worse day by day. Either here or there, they live in the city However, there is no way to take the rogue bandits.

If they didn't capture Zhang Xianzhong alive this time, but let him continue to wander around and attack the Ming court, it would be fatal. Even those who attacked Fengyang and dug up the emperor's Mausoleum could not be brought to justice. This shows that the Ming Court has completely declined and lost control, which will only alienate people all over the world.

So this time, Xun Bu inspired the authority of the imperial court and let the world know that the imperial court still has power and can deal with these rebellions.

Since they are mixed in the imperial court, they hope that the imperial court can continue to maintain its prestige. If the imperial court doesn't even have the ability to suppress roving bandits, where will they become officials?

Therefore, the cabinet welcomed Liu Bu's move. If they could recover Fengyang, the capital of China, they would be even more happy. Therefore, the emperor promised such a high reward, and they did not object. Wen Tiren made a color to the other cabinet ministers, and they immediately nodded and agreed.

Although Wen Tiren doesn't like Liu Yuanqiao, he even suspects that his student Lin Ruonan died at the hands of Liu Yuanqiao, but now Liu Yuanqiao's hand is very in his interests.

He is an old politician and a veteran. He knows one thing best, that is, when playing politics, he must be rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for mistakes. There is no doubt about this.

Since Liu Yuanqiao and his son have made great achievements, no matter whether they have any political opinions or don't deal with them, they should still be rewarded. Especially when the emperor took office in the year of the dragon and made a statement, he will never confront the emperor.

After overthrowing Zhou yanru, Wen Tiren was able to sit firmly at the head of the Ming Dynasty for many years. Naturally, he had his means. The people did not comment well on him. He said he was the Prime Minister of plague, but he felt good. He thought he was a famous official of the Dynasty and the left and right arms of the emperor, leading all civil and military officials and assisting the emperor to achieve great achievements. He also had a way to finish the affairs of the king and win the world The ambition of fame before and after death.
