Just when Jia Heng was organizing his army in the Jiangnan camp - in the city of Shenjing

Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall

The ministers in the palace are discussing matters. As the autumn grain collection has gradually taken over the theme of the political life of the Han Dynasty, and the rice grain and silver payment of northern Xinjiang need to be planned again, the cabinet and the military aircraft department have been frequently convened recently to hold court discussions.

Yang Guochang, the chief minister of the cabinet below, had a cold look on his old face. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Tan Jie, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, is reporting that since the beginning of summer in the south of the Yangtze River, there has been too much rain, which has affected the grain harvest. I ask your Majesty to take appropriate measures to avoid sending grain this year.

Amount."

If the child suffered a defeat in the south, I think the Holy Spirit's impression of the child would also change.

Emperor Chongping said solemnly: "Now the northern frontier army is in urgent need of transporting grain, and not a single grain of grain transported from the south of the Yangtze River should be missing."

Yang Guochang cupped his hands and said, "I will write to the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing to urge the transportation of grain."

Yang Guochang finished his duties and returned to court. It was almost noon. All the courtiers were hungry and wanted to wait for Emperor Chongping to say goodbye to the court.

Emperor Chongping glanced at the courtiers below, his eyes stopped on the face of Shi Jie, the Minister of War, headed by the Military Aircraft Department, and asked: "Is there any report from the Military Aircraft Department and Jinling?"

Shi Jie responded quickly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the memorial from Jinling has not been delivered in the past few days."

Because the news of the destruction of the Nanfang Town Navy was spreading in Beijing, Emperor Chongping did not receive Jia Heng's flying pigeon message for a while, and he was inevitably a little anxious.

Thinking it was Jia Heng, he wrote another memorial to record the events in detail and submitted it to Beijing.

Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment.

At this moment, behind the palace, through the hanging bead curtain, an eunuch poked his head out and winked at Dai Quan, who was serving beside Emperor Chongping.

Knowing that something was going on, Dai Quan went to the inner prison, took the brocade box containing the paper, paused slightly, and quickly returned to Emperor Chongping.

"Your Majesty, Yong Ningbo's flying pigeon sent a message."

When Emperor Chongping heard this, he took the paper from Dai Quan and couldn't wait to read it, saying: "Okay, as expected of Ziyu!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several cabinet ministers and court officials below changed slightly, and they secretly thought, what do you mean by this?

Emperor Chongping put down the paper, looked down at the expectant and doubtful eyes, and said: "Just now, the flying pigeon sent by Jia Ziyu said that on August 16, the army won a great victory at Haimen, and the bandits were defeated.

Three hundred Jurchens were captured in the battle, and four thousand pirates were captured. The Donglu did not dare to take boats to attack Jinling again. Detailed military reports will be delivered today by a 600-mile expedited horse."

Because the amount of information that flying pigeons can convey is limited, there is not much text on the paper, but fortunately there is still classical Chinese at this time. Although Jia Heng does not understand Shannon's information theory, he can simply encode the information with the help of later generations' spy war knowledge.

It’s better to know something and try to strike a balance between information distortion and simple compression.

However, the homing pigeons were still affected by the weather on the way. They could have arrived earlier, but they didn't want to arrive now.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stormy sea was set off in Hanyuan Palace, which was unbelievable.

How long has it been since then that Yong Ning Bo achieved another great victory? Is it true that his martial arts luck is Changhong, and he will win every battle?

Just when the ministers were having different thoughts, Liu Yu, who was not far behind Yang Guochang and was drinking wine at the Imperial Academy, frowned and his eyes flashed. He held a wat tablet and came out to play. He said: "Your Majesty, Zhen Haijun is here.

They were destroyed on August 15th, and the Japanese invaders were sent to the Jiangbei camp the next day. Will this flying pigeon pass the message..."

Well, Liu Yuzhong was clearly influenced by the events such as "Jia Ziyu cleverly recognized the false news, Emperor Chongping fainted in Xihe Palace", "Jia Ziyu boldly showed his loyalty, and Queen Xuefeng of the Song Dynasty was suddenly attacked", etc. His heart was blessed and his mind was activated.

, want to see through the authenticity of the letter passed by Fei Ge.

Liu Yuzhong's words obviously also played some role.

Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Liu said is not unreasonable. Could it be that they have already been defeated, and the bandits deliberately delayed our court's decision-making response?"

After these words were spoken, the officials in the palace looked at each other in shock. After thinking about it, it seemed possible.

"The battle in Henan was not

Is that so? The fake victory report is intended to disturb my central vision." At this time, Cen Weishan, the Minister of Punishment, nodded and said with a solemn expression.

Emperor Chongping: "???"

Did these people do this on purpose? Are they bringing up past events and exposing scars?

"This is a homing pigeon specially trained by the Jinyi Mansion. It took several homing pigeons to transmit the information. How can it be fake?" Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice, holding back the anger in his heart.

However, Liu Yuzhong stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, I think we should err on the side of caution and we need to wait for the follow-up memorial to prove what I said."

Emperor Chongping looked at the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine with his thin, pine-browed eyes, feeling angry and laughing at the same time.

Is this Liu Yuzhong a pedantic in his studies?

However, Liu Yuzhong's words were quite recognized by the officials of the Department of Science and Technology. For a time, several chief censors came out to agree with him.

Emperor Chongping's face was as calm as the abyss. He looked at Yang Guochang and said, "Yang Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, we still need to wait for the memorial to report the good news. If it is a good news, it is not too late to celebrate." Yang Guochang cupped his hands and said.

"Han Qing."

Han Huang hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to answer at first, but he couldn't resist the emperor's aggressive gaze, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Wei Chen believes that in military affairs, if you are more cautious, you will never go wrong."

Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, speechless.

Just now I said I was asking about the good news, but in fact I was asking about the attitudes of the Qi and Zhejiang parties towards Jia Heng. As expected, due to the promotion of the Military Aircraft Department, he gradually valued Zi Yu, and the officials from the Qi and Zhejiang parties began to form a vague consensus of rejection.

This may not be a good thing.

Just when the ministers in the palace were quiet for a moment, suddenly, a young eunuch hurriedly ran over from Danbi outside the Hanyuan Palace, panting and entered the palace, with sweat still on his forehead and temples, holding a

Brocade Box, loudly said: "Your Majesty, Yong Ningbo's military information has been delivered urgently and densely."

Because Emperor Chongping had specifically told him that if he had any military information about Jia Heng, he should deliver it to the palace as soon as possible. No matter what he was doing at the time, he had to come and report it. After the report came quickly, the report finally arrived.

Arrive at Shenjing City.

As soon as the eunuch said these words, the palace suddenly fell silent, and all the courtiers were shocked.

"Dai Quan." Emperor Chongping ordered. "My servant is here."

Dai Quan responded, took a fly whisk, came over from the golden luan, took the secret box from the young eunuch, quickly opened it, took out a memorial from it, turned around and trotted to present it to Emperor Chongping.

Under the attention of the civil and military ministers in the palace, Emperor Chongping took the memorial and began to read the text of the memorial.

Compared with the brief text of "The Carrier Pigeon", the narrative of the battle report recorded in the memorial is undoubtedly more detailed and sufficient. It records in detail that after the defeat of Zhenhai, Jia Heng went to Tongzhou to defend the port to help, and then picked up the remaining troops in Tongzhou to defend the port, using strong tactics.

Cleaning up military discipline, motivating generals, and also mentioned the issue of rewards for generals who kill the enemy.

Then Jia Heng led the navy to attack the pirate navy. He fought against the enemy at Haimen and defeated the pirates. Zhengbai Banner had three hundred flag soldiers.

The army was annihilated and four thousand pirates were captured. It was a great victory.

After Emperor Chongping read it, he read it again, his cheeks flushed, and he couldn't help but take another look at the seal and signature. After confirming it, he felt even more happy.

Well, what Liu Yuzhong just said finally made the emperor suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After all, if you fall into the same trap twice, you will die of shame.

When Emperor Chongping saw that there was nothing unusual, he picked up the memorial and said with a smile on his face: "Dai Quan, show it to all the ministers."

This time, there will be no lies!

Upon hearing this, Dai Quan quickly took the memorial and walked towards Yang Guochang, Han Huang and others.

After a while, the ministers circulated it, with shock on their faces.

Did Yong Ningbo really win?

Emperor Chongping looked at Liu Yuzhong who was looking at the memorial and asked: "Liu Qing, do you still see any doubts?

Not everyone in the civil and military circles of this dynasty is Ziyu!

Liu Yuzhong took the memorial and saw nothing unusual. He looked sullen for a moment and handed it to someone.

Wang Shu, the minister of Dali Temple nearby, cupped his hands towards Emperor Chongping and said, "The humble minister is stupid and cannot tell the truth from the false."

Emperor Chongping looked at Shi Jie at the military station and asked, "Where is Shi Qing? Shi Qing has read the memorial before. Do you know whether it is true or false?"

It may be said that it was also because he was so deeply wounded by the false victory last time that Emperor Chongping simply took the risk this time and asked the courtiers below, as if he subconsciously wanted to wash away the original shame in this way.

Shi Jie cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the memorial contains the code mark previously agreed upon by Yong Ning Bo. This will be used as a secret to confirm the authenticity of the memorial."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuzhong's face was slightly shocked, while Yang Guochang's face darkened, and his heart was slightly shocked.

Han Huang, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, also narrowed his eyes. This Jia Ziyu is really scheming. Does a minister of the Privy Council also have a secret code mark?

When Emperor Chongping heard this, a bright light flashed through his heart, and he suddenly said: "When Shi Qing said this, I seem to have remembered that Zi Yu mentioned at the beginning that the military and political ministers contained in the secret brocade box of the Military Aircraft Department were for the purpose of

It must not be leaked, so the memorial should have a secret code for the appointment. I forgot about it just now, so the pattern of the memorial is dotted with bird patterns, the length and length..."

Ziyu had mentioned it to him before, but he was so busy with government affairs that he didn't think of it just now.

Shi Jie quickly became solemn and interrupted: "Your Majesty... this method cannot be used frequently."

Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "I forgot my feelings for a moment, Shi Qing reminded me.

It is indeed difficult to make this kind of secret appointment known to the public.

As for the ministers below, listening to the monarch and his ministers singing almost in unison, describing the key points of the secret box of the Military Aircraft Department, they all looked confused. What else do they, the ministers outside the Military Aircraft Department, not know?

Emperor Chongping looked at the ministers below and said: "You ministers, ministers of the military and state, are concerned with the danger of the country, and communication must be kept confidential."

There is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Ziyu was really a minister who planned the country and had far-sighted plans. If the Ministry of War had kept secrets when delivering official military reports, how could there have been false reports of success in the past?
