Chapter 467

The news of the great victory of Wuzhou city came to the capital, which shocked the government and the public and made the whole country jubilant.

The Ming Dynasty has not experienced such a big victory for a long time, and its opponent is Nuzhen, the strongest ethnic group outside China.

This success report is like a shot in the arm, which injects some fresh vitality into the old Daming.

The information from the battlefield surprised all people in the court. The empress paid a private visit and personally supervised the battle in Wuzhou City, which made the victory more legendary.

It is no surprise that the number one meritorious official in this battle is the royal guards.

To be exact, it was Shen Jian, the governor of the royal guards, who first discovered LAN Mingyu's treason and killed him on the spot. He led the people to defend Wuzhou City and killed several Jurchen generals. Later, he sneaked into the Jurchen camp alone, assassinated the commander of Jurchen, defeated wugushun, the great master of Jurchen, and finally led the cavalry of the royal guards to attack Huanglong, When the military division of Nuzhen was wounded, even their wolf flag was interrupted, which forced Nuzhen to withdraw from southern Xinjiang.

This series of dazzling meritorious deeds are presented one by one in the court in front of the Minister of culture and military affairs. It's unbelievable, but the evidence is solid. People can't help believing it.

Even emperor Chongzhen was shocked. He was impressed by the reconstructed royal guards and the performance of the young governor.

"It seems that the royal guards will turn over again!"

"That's natural. This trip to the royal guards has made great achievements!"

"Don't envy others. Five thousand royal guards have come to Wuzhou. How many people are left?"

"That's true! This time, the royal guards have lost their money. They deserve to turn over! "

"I don't know what kind of reward that young Zhenfu Shen will get?"

"Yes! Why didn't you see anyone else? "

For a moment, the ministers in front of the hall talked about it, focusing on the royal guards and Shen Jian.

The president of Jinyi Wei, the nine princesses, put their hands in front of the palace, and looked calm, but the brow could not hide their joy.

"I didn't mistake Shen Jian. He has a long face!" Nine the royal highness of the princess has already opened her heart.

At this time, the supreme voice of the ninth five year plan came from the hall and said, "Xiao Jiu, why don't you see your young governor go up to the hall to see the couplet?"

Nine Princess Leng a Leng, just received the news of Wuzhou great victory, she is also waiting for Shen Jian back to reply, but the boy has not come?

At this time, Li Chengliang, who had been standing in front of the hall for a long time, stepped forward and replied in a deep voice: "I'll tell your majesty that Shen Jian, the governor of the royal guards, has already sneaked into the Nuzhen tribe to get information for our Ming Dynasty."

"What?"

"Ah?" On the main hall, including emperor Chongzhen, everyone opened their mouths wide and was very surprised.

It's clear that he has made great achievements and is waiting for a reward. But the boy keeps going deep into the enemy's hinterland. What does he want to do?

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "this man is a meritorious minister. Why did Taifu send him to a dangerous place? Is there no one in Daming? "

When his majesty heard the news, his first reaction was that Li Chengliang was jealous of the young hero, so he was so unhappy.

Li Chengliang, the Taifu, was very old and experienced. He saw the emperor's mind at a glance and quickly explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. On the day of the great victory of Wuzhou City, Shen Zhenfu left alone. Ben Taifu also wanted to stay. He said that the Nuzhen clan was powerful. Although they were defeated this time, their strength was not greatly damaged, and the crisis of Daming was not relieved. He had to sneak into the Nuzhen clan and know what they knew, so that they could fight a hundred battles. At that time, the empress was also on the side. When your majesty asked, she would know. "

"Talent! He is really a great talent! How lucky Daming is to have such a talented person, not to be proud of himself, and to be concerned about the country and the people! " Liang Qiuming, a cabinet bachelor, shook his head and sighed.

Emperor Chongzhen thought carefully that Li Chengliang had become a Taifu. He really didn't need to worry that a small town could shake his position. So it was true.

"Good! Although Shen Aiqing is not in Beijing, his credit can not be denied! In the eyes of my dear ministers, what official position should I offer him? " Emperor Chongzhen said slowly.

Taifu Li Chengliang looked around and found that all the civil and military officials were waiting for him to speak. Then he bowed and said, "according to the military practice, those who kill the enemy general before the battle will be promoted to three levels. Shen Jian is now the governor of the royal guards and can be promoted to deputy commander. "

"In addition, I sincerely request that general Shen be transferred to the army. I am willing to recommend him as a general of the dragon and tiger guards."

Taifu Li Chengliang's words are just like a heavy hammer, hitting the broken drum of the Ming Dynasty.

All the officials were very surprised. No matter how heroic and meritorious a young man with a weak crown is, being the deputy commander of the royal guards has already been an exception. Now Li Taifu even wants to make him a general of the first guard. That's a member of the local military power!

But emperor Chongzhen laughed, shook his head and said, "old master! Old master! As long as you see good talent and beautiful jade, you want to be included in the army. Instead of being put in the local place by you, let him be general Jin Wuwei for me! "

Shen Jian, the position of general Jin Wuwei, has been lost.

Jin Wuwei is the emperor's close guard and has close relationship with the royal family. However, this general is far less powerful than the general of the dragon and tiger guards.

It seems that emperor Chongzhen was not at ease to hand over the local military power to a person he had never met, no matter how much contribution he made to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chengliang can't help but look gloomy, and it's hard to say anything more.

At this time, the hall heard the voice of the nine princesses.

"Father, I have an idea!" Nine Princess Royal smiled.

"Ah Jiu, tell me!" Emperor Chongzhen seems to be in a good mood today. After all, he doesn't always meet with great victories.

Nine the princess's reverent and respectful head said, "the minister asked for his life, and sealed Shen Jian, the Jinyi Wei."

This is just like a thunder exploding on the Jinluan hall.

All the ministers were boiling.

Nine the royal highness of the princess is too bold. Shen Jian just won a battle.

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly stunned and said in a deep voice, "I'll listen to you."

With a mettlesome and handsome bearing, nine Princess Royal said, "ancient Gan Luo is twelve years old, and champion is handsome and famous. Now we need to set an example for the rest of the world to follow. "

"Shen Jian has made three contributions. First, he helped his children's officials to rectify the royal guards. Second, he made great contributions to the invasion of Nuzhen. Third, he devoted himself to serving the country and sneaked into the Nuzhen tribe to spy on the military situation for our Ming Dynasty. I would like to ask you in front of the hall, who has such strength? Who has the courage? "

Nine Princess asked, asked the ministers before the palace rendered speechless.

"Shen Jian is young, and he is the capital of a generation of famous officials and generals! My son thinks that the canonization of Shen Jian as the Marquis of royal guards is the first step to revive the prestige of Ming Dynasty

Nine Princess Royal talked with a great deal of voice, saying that the emperor in front of the hall was in perfect silence.

Emperor Chongzhen always believed in his little daughter. He thought that Xiao Jiu was the one with the most similar temperament among many children, and his suggestion was quite in line with his heart.

"Good! Ah Jiu, you have grown up! I am very satisfied! Shen Jian is loyal to his country and has made great contributions to it. He can indeed be a marquis. I will play for him! When Shen Aiqing returns to Beijing from the Nuzhen nationality, it will be the day when he is granted the Marquis! "

Emperor Chongzhen made the final decision with one stroke, and the great victory in southern Xinjiang served as an endorsement. In addition, the ninth Princess and Li Chengliang, the Taifu, bestowed blessings on him. As for Shen Jian's appointment as Marquis, it was overwhelming and no one dared to raise any objection.

What's more, Shen Jian's behavior of going deep into the Nuzhen tribe, on the one hand, really impressed the officials. On the other hand, whether he can return to the capital alive or not is another matter, so no one will care about anything with a person whose life or death is uncertain.
