It was still dark when the winter morning began. The lights in the palace were bright and bright, and the ground dragon was burning hot, but everyone still felt cold in their hearts.
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne was in very bad spirits. He had not had a peaceful sleep for a long time.
Officials all over the court were making a lot of noise.
The surrounding topics are naturally still the refusal of Duke Cheng to return and the domineering and arrogant son of Duke Cheng to escape.
By the end of the quarrel, everyone was angry.
"Sir Huang, if you are impeaching Duke Cheng Guo at this time, isn't it just public revenge for private revenge?" an official shouted at Huang Cheng.
"That's right, you just played tricks on your colleagues and deliberately harmed your country." Someone also shouted.
Ning Yunzhao, who was standing at the end, frowned.
To be honest, you can't say that.
"That's it." He whispered to the person next to him.
The officials next to me couldn't help it.
"Then it's a tie this time." He whispered, "Master Ning had the upper hand yesterday."
The officials in front were arguing and making noise, but they, the lower-ranking officials, had no time to participate and just watched peacefully.
There are also low-level officials who are eager to try. Great dynasty disputes are also an opportunity to leave an impression in front of the emperor and shine in front of the world.
"Impressions can be divided into good and bad, and limelight can also be divided into high and low." Ning Yunzhao did not suggest, "It's not time for us to talk yet, it's better to wait and see."
His uncle was Ning Yan. Perhaps this was Lord Ning's intention, so everyone watched the changes and watched the high-ranking courtiers arguing endlessly.
Sure enough, as Ning Yunzhao said, after hearing these words, Huang Cheng did not refute, and the emperor took the Long case first.
"Is every impeachment of a censor a private act of revenge?" he shouted, "ridiculous."
Immediately, several censors stood up and rebutted the two officials, but Huang Cheng stopped talking and had a sneer on his lips.
"Of course not everyone." Ning Yan signaled the two officials to step back, then stood up and said in a deep voice, "But Mr. Huang and Duke Cheng Guo have always been at odds with each other, and everyone knows that. Now the war ahead is tense, but Mr. Huang is here
If there is obstruction from the rear, is this going to hand over the Northland to the golden thieves?"
Huang Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"This is not because I want to give away the Northland to the golden thieves. It's because Cheng Guogong is so happy that he caused the war in the Northland today." He shouted in a high-pitched voice, and then sneered, "The Northland is in such chaos now, maybe it's because of Chengguo's great success."
The Duke wants to see him, so that he can show how important he is to the court."
This is really heartbreaking!
The expressions of everyone in the court changed.
"Master Huang, please stop talking nonsense." Ning Yan shouted.
"If not, why couldn't we restrain the gold thieves for so long? Why did we let the Kaide Mansion ignore it?" Huang Cheng also shouted, "The Kaide Mansion, so close to the capital, was allowed to be occupied by the Jin people, threatening the capital, and people were panicking. He
Who are you trying to scare, who are you trying to coerce? So ten edicts, in exchange for ten refusals from him, means you are sure that no one can touch him now, right?"
It’s really heartbreaking!
This simply accuses Duke Cheng of treason and rebellion.
The emperor was already taboo about the military power of Duke Cheng, so if he said such words again...
"Huang Cheng, your heart is worth killing." Ning Yan shouted with an ashen complexion.
"Who has a heart to kill? If you don't have a heart to kill, take back Kaide Mansion." Huang Cheng shouted, "Drive the gold thief out?"
The fall of Kaide Mansion is indeed an unavoidable event and is the best weapon to attack Duke Cheng.
Because this position is too important and too sensitive, there is no solution unless Kaide Mansion is recovered.
There was silence in the hall.
Looking at the silence, a sneer appeared on Huang Cheng's face.
Just as he was about to say something more, an emergency call came from outside the door.
The emperor on the dragon chair immediately grasped the armrests tightly.
Which place was lost this time?
The officials also had different expressions, and their eyes fell on the report held high by the chamberlain who rushed in.
"Yes..." the emperor asked anxiously.
Before he could say anything, the waiter had already knelt down.
"Your Majesty, Kaide Mansion has won a great victory." The chamberlain shouted loudly.
Kaide Mansion.
There was silence in the main hall. Everyone was stunned. The emperor also looked stunned. He seemed to have no idea where Kaide Mansion was.
"Your Majesty, Kaide Mansion has been recovered." The chamberlain shouted again, leaning on the ground and sobbing, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Kaide Mansion has been recovered."
Kaide Mansion was recovered.
The hall was quiet for a moment, then suddenly there was a bang.
The report was handed to the emperor. The emperor looked at the report excitedly. The courtiers stared at the emperor closely, eager to grab it to see if it was true.
"It's really a great victory." The emperor finally found the words "Great Victory" in Kaide Mansion, confirmed that he was not dreaming, and said loudly.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Ning Yan was the first to bow and bow.
Others hurriedly followed suit and knelt down. In this movement, Huang Cheng's movements were particularly stiff, and he leaned down to the ground, hiding his gloomy expression.
After several congratulations, everyone stood up and asked about specific matters.
When it was heard that it was done by soldiers stationed in five garrison camps near Kaide Mansion, the court became quiet for a while, and then there was an uproar again.
"Even if there are five forts, there are only more than 2,000 people, right?"
"Isn't there three or four thousand elite soldiers in Kaidefu City?"
"In the past, we used to have 50,000 people fighting against the opponent's 30,000 people. There was a huge disparity in numbers. I didn't expect that there would be times when we would have 2,000 people fighting against the opponent's 4,000 people."
Upon hearing the inquiry, the officials from the Ministry of War who came with the eunuch introduced what happened. First, they described the various evil deeds committed by the Jin soldiers in occupying Kaide Mansion, which caused great harm to the lives of the people.
These things have not been discussed in detail before. After all, it is heartbreaking to say such a fact when someone is occupying it, and the emperor does not like to hear it.
Seeing the Jin soldiers oppressing the people and causing misery, the guards could no longer bear it, so with the cooperation of military leaders Ding Dashan, Wang Bao, Mao Shiqi and others, they decided to go to war with the Jin soldiers of Kaide Prefecture.
They first used their familiarity with the local terrain to ambush a small group of Jin soldiers leaving the city, and threw their bodies in front of Kaidefu City to shock the Jin soldiers.
Then he used the secret passage in Kaide City to sneak into the city during the dark wind of the month and burned down the military camp. Taking advantage of the chaos, he attacked the city gate guards and opened the city gate, allowing the assembled Zhou soldiers to rush in.
Relying on his familiarity with the city, he found the leader of the Jin soldiers, Zhan Tiemu, and worked together to kill him. The Jin soldiers were thrown into chaos, either killed or escaping from Kaide Fucheng.
The city of Kaidefu was thus recovered.
Having said this, the general presented a wooden box.
"This is the head of the golden thief Zhan Tiemu." He said loudly.
Listening to this story, the people present were excited, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. This process was courageous, resourceful, not hasty, and the battle flowed smoothly.
Regardless of whether this battle was so exciting, the literary talent of the writer who described the details was extraordinary. The Ministry of War actually had such a powerful writer? Can he write such a discussion in such a short time?
The emperor was so elated that he ordered the eunuch to open the box and let everyone watch the gold thief's head.
"It can be seen that the golden thieves are strong on the outside and capable on the inside. We and our heroic soldiers can drive out the golden thieves in just a short time." Ning Yan said loudly, saluting the emperor again, "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."
This time, he sounded more confident and more agreeable when he said it this time, and the emperor nodded with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Cheng suddenly stood up and said, "This is really gratifying. Your Majesty can feel at ease."
He actually said that?
Ning Yan looked at him sideways.
When the emperor heard his congratulations, he looked even more pleased.
"With only two thousand soldiers, they faced a fortified castle and numerous elite soldiers of the gold thieves. Under these circumstances, they not only regained Kaide Mansion, but also killed the leader of the gold thieves. What a great victory it was." Huang Cheng
He said excitedly while saluting the emperor again, "This is your majesty's wisdom and the blessing of the people."
Everyone hurriedly followed and shouted again.
"Your Majesty, these good generals and warriors must be heavily rewarded," Huang Cheng said.
The emperor smiled and raised his hand.
"Rewards, there are rewards." He said.
"Your Majesty, with such good generals and warriors." Huang Cheng continued, looking up at the emperor with a sincere expression, "Even if the Duke returns to the defense, we, the Zhou Dynasty, are not afraid of the arrogance of the gold thieves, nor are we afraid of the gold thieves' 50,000 army pressing down on the border.
"
Coming!
Ning Yan's face darkened, and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that Huang Cheng was not well-intentioned.
This is going to be bad.
If Kaide Mansion is lost, Duke Cheng will be transferred back. If Kaide Mansion is recovered, the emperor will have more reason to transfer Duke Cheng back. What should he do?
"Your Majesty..." He was about to speak.
A voice also sounded.
"Your Majesty, the great victory of Kaide Mansion was achieved only under the guidance of Duke Cheng Guo."
What?
Does this have anything to do with Cheng Guogong?
Everyone was stunned again and looked at the Ministry of War official who spoke.
The officials of the Ministry of War also looked a little surprised, as if what they said was a matter of course, but everyone's surprise was strange.
"It's written in the report." He said, pointing to the report placed on the dragon case, "It was under the arrangement and guidance of Duke Cheng that Ding Dashan and others set up the battle plan and succeeded in one fell swoop."
Have you written it?
The emperor just confirmed those five words and did not read other words in the memorial.
He reached out and picked up the memorial and read it word by word. Sure enough, the name of Duke Cheng Guo appeared.
it turns out……
turn out to be…….
so…….
"This is an advantage." Ning Yunzhao whispered to his colleagues beside him, with a smile on his lips, "I admire you."
