Chapter 112
Before the Manchu and Qing troops left the customs, Jinzhou had always closed its gates and imposed martial law.

On this day, people on the top of the city suddenly saw a group of knights on flying horses approaching. When they got close, they found that the leader was wearing a white flying fish suit, followed by a lot of black flying fish suits. Obviously, it was a group of knights. A hundred households of Jinyiwei came with about thirty Jinyiwei.

Immediately, they thought of the conflict between their Zhizhou lord and Shoufu lord.They don't need to guess, Jin Yiwei suddenly came to Jinzhou, it must be related to this matter.Thinking of this, they immediately became worried.

It was different from the army that came last time. Now there are no Manchu Tartars outside, and the opponent is the emperor's own army, the famous Jinyiwei. No one has the courage to let the Jinyiwei enter the city.

When Chen Hongxu, who was discussing matters in the yamen, heard that Jin Yiwei had arrived outside the city and was about to enter the city, he couldn't help but immediately became nervous.Although he knew that Lu Xiangsheng would speak up for him, but this time he offended, after all, the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, the head of all the officials, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried.

The yamen officials who followed him to discuss matters, as well as the leading squires in the city, were also frightened. One of them immediately suggested to Chen Hongxu: "My lord, it is definitely not a good thing for Jin Yiwei to come here. Otherwise, just use the excuse of being afraid of spies. Don't let them enter the city?"

"Yes, don't open the city gate. If the Jin Yiwei can't get in, there's nothing you can do about it!" Others also agreed.

When Chen Hongxu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, I am an official ordered by the imperial court after all, Jin Yiwei must have come by order, how can I refuse to enter?"

Speaking of which, seeing that they still seemed to want to talk, he immediately added: "Besides, if you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, can you still hide from the fifteenth day? Let's go to meet them together, it's not necessarily a bad thing!"

Even though he said this, he didn't quite believe it himself.It's just that the matter has come to this, I can only comfort myself and think on the bright side.

After speaking, he took the lead in striding out.

The others met, looked at each other, and saw each other's worries.But there is really no other way, so I can only go out with Mr. Zhizhou.

However, Master Zhizhou offended Shoufu for the sake of Jinzhou. No matter what, they didn't want Chen Hongxu to have trouble.Therefore, they fell behind a little, lowered their voices, and discussed while walking.

"In my opinion, Jin Yiwei's coming so soon must be detrimental to Lord Zhizhou!"

"Yes, although I heard that Lu Shangshu will speak for Lord Zhizhou, can Lu Shangshu still be older than Lord Shoufu? I think the emperor will definitely believe what Shoufu said!"

"If this is not the case, we can't wait any longer. We must immediately send people to the capital, contact the folks who are officials in the capital, and take action to avenge the lord Zhizhou!"

"Listen everyone, if Jin Yiwei wants to arrest someone on the spot, let's intercede for him and state his difficulties together! You might as well put some money in so that Jin Yiwei can take care of you for us when he goes back. The wish of the people in the city is even better!"

"..."

As they said this, passers-by heard them and joined them one after another.When Chen Hongxu arrived at the gate of the city, behind him were all the people of Jinzhou who had heard the news!
The city gate opened, Jin Yiwei, who had been waiting impatiently, entered the city gate hole, looked up for the first time, and was shocked when he saw the dense crowd of human heads.

However, when Chen Hao, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, saw that the leader was wearing the official uniform of the prefect of Jinzhou, he felt quite settled, and immediately asked, "Are you Chen Hongxu, the prefect of Jinzhou?"

Chen Hongxu was moved by the fact that so many people came behind him, but he was also a little worried. He was afraid that if things really went wrong and these Jinyiwei came to arrest him on the spot, it would be bad if there was a civil uprising.

Therefore, when he heard Jinyiwei Baihu questioning, he quickly replied: "This official is Chen Hongxu, the prefect of Jinzhou, please go to the yamen to talk!"

If there were fewer people in the yamen, it should not cause a big backlash from the people of Jinzhou.Then choose a time when there are few people to go out of the city, maybe you can leave quietly, and you don't have to worry about the civil uprising in Jinzhou, which will cause disaster instead.

But who knows, when the Jinyiwei Baihu confirmed that the person in front of him was Chen Hongxu, the magistrate of Jinzhou, he felt relieved, and saw that the face of a person in front of him was full of worry, so he smiled and said loudly: " The emperor ordered, and Chen Hongxu, the prefect of Jinzhou, accepted the order!"

When Chen Hongxu heard this, he couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. It seemed that all his painstaking efforts were in vain, and he actually announced the decree here.

However, Jinyiwei Baihu had already spoken out, and he had no choice but to kneel down and listen to the order.The people behind him also knelt down, but they all raised their heads and looked nervously at the hundreds of royal guards and Chen Hongxu's back with worried expressions on their faces.

"I have ordered Dongchang to find out the truth. Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, is worthy of being the pillar of the country. He held the city under the siege of a hundred thousand Manchu troops and saved the people of Jinzhou. I am very relieved. I will return after the war." Jing Xu Gong, I have another important use..."

Hearing this, Chen Hongxu looked up in astonishment, thinking he had heard wrong!The Jinzhou officials and common people behind him were also very surprised. Many of them even opened their mouths wide and looked at the Jinyiwei Baihu who was talking in disbelief.

"...Now that the Manchu Qing army is still raging in the pass, Jinzhou's city defense experience should be quickly promoted so that other cities can learn from it. Therefore, Chen Qing quickly summed up Jinzhou's city defense experience and handed it over to the cities of Jinyiwei. To guard against the Manchu Qing army, please do so!"

Hearing this, Chen Hongxu can confirm that he really heard correctly.Remembering that in the emperor's oral order, he also praised himself as the pillar of the country, and suddenly he became excited!

As a courtier, it is such an honor to be appraised by the emperor as the pillar of the country!For a moment, he forgot to receive the order, and was a little silly there.

And those people behind him, those who heard the emperor's oral instructions, were also very happy.Instead of being stupid, they chattered excitedly.

"Emperor Shengming!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"A good man is rewarded with good rewards. His majesty is such a good official, the Zhizhou Lord is so wise!"

"..."

Hearing these words, those who didn't hear the content of the oral order later became anxious.What a good thing, what a good thing in the end?Hurry up, hurry up and talk about it, I'm so anxious!
Amidst the noise, Chen Hongxu finally came to his senses, and immediately thanked him with great excitement.Then after getting up, he immediately stretched out his hand to signal, asking Jin Yiwei to follow him to the Yamen, and he immediately went to write about his experience in defending the city.

On the street leading to the yamen, the people standing full of people immediately parted the way automatically, and watched with joy as the magistrate accompanied Jin Yiwei to the yamen.Soon after, they dispersed and spread the news throughout Jinzhou City.Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, as if it was the New Year.

When he arrived at the Yamen, there were fewer people around him. Chen Hongxu still felt a little strange in his heart, wondering if the chief assistant just had a bad mouth and didn't impeach him after returning to Beijing?
Unable to understand, he asked Jin Yiwei Baihu by the way: "I don't know if Mr. Shou Fu impeached me?"
