Chapter 436

Fifteen days later, Chen Shaozong finally returned to Phoenix Castle.As soon as he came back, he went to see Geng Zhongming.

In the study, there were only the two of them, and even outside the study, there were guards standing far away, looking outside.

"How is it?" Geng Zhongming looked at the situation outside, and after closing the door, he turned around and asked immediately.

Chen Shaozong's excited face clearly expressed that there was good news.Sure enough, he immediately took out a letter from his body and said, "My lord, this is a letter from the Governor."

When Geng Zhongming heard it, there was a trace of surprise on his face, and he hurriedly stepped forward to accept the letter, first checked the seal, and then immediately took out the letter paper to read.

After a while, he finished reading, and immediately said yes, and then it seemed that it was not enough, so he read the letter again.

Chen Shaozong was standing by the side, watching Geng Zhongming's face change, he was also very happy in his heart.

He was a little anxious, wishing he could tell Geng Zhongming everything he had seen and heard.Finally, after Geng Zhongming finished reading the letter for the second time and finally put down the letter, he said impatiently, "My lord, your decision is really right. Even if you die in the future, you will have the face to meet people!"

What he didn't expect was that when he heard this, the smile on Geng Zhongming's face froze immediately, but it soon disappeared. He raised his head and smiled and asked Chen Shaozong, "Did you see with your own eyes that the governor wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital?" Is it?"

"Yes!" Chen Shaozong didn't think about anything else, and immediately nodded, "The governor said that as long as we sincerely abandon the dark and turn to the bright, the emperor's side should be fine."

After finishing speaking, he told Geng Zhongming exactly what he had said to Lu Xiangsheng.

After finishing speaking, seeing that Geng Zhongming seemed to be thinking about something, Chen Shaozong talked about what he had seen and heard on the island again: "My lord, you don't know, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you always feel that the Battle of Pyongyang is a bit exaggerated Yes. When I first heard about it, I was still wondering why Jianlu himself boasted about the Dongjiang Army. It shouldn’t be! In fact, my lord, you don’t know that Jianlu still said less. At the time, the governor personally led the army, Almost defeated Yuetuo's troops in a field battle. If it weren't for those pig teammates in North Korea..."

Geng Zhongming didn't interrupt or interrupt, just listening to Chen Shaozong talking about his knowledge.Of course he had heard about the battle in Pyongyang, but now he heard it from Chen Shaozong, and he knew a little more about it.

To be honest, he was really surprised. He didn't expect the new Dongjiang Army to be so powerful!But he also came to his senses. I'm afraid this is why Huang Taiji must get rid of the Dongjiang Army!

After Chen Shaozong finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, a big man with a woman's gossip-like face, said to Geng Zhongming: "Master, this time at Guanglu Island, I heard a very big thing. That Azig lied!"

"Oh, you lied?" Geng Zhongming confirmed it when he heard it.However, he wasn't too surprised about this. After all, Azig was the only one who escaped back, so it wasn't surprising to tell a little lie.

Chen Shaozong nodded vigorously, and said excitedly to Geng Zhongming: "Yes, he didn't escape. He killed Jierhalang to serve the emperor, and then came back to assassinate Huang Taiji before he was released!"

In his words, he regards himself as a person of Ming Dynasty, and the emperor naturally refers to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Impossible!" Geng Zhongming categorically denied it as soon as he heard it.

Whether Azig will kill Jierharang is hard to say.He didn't think that Azig would have that integrity, and he would rather die than do anything to his own people.However, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty believed in Azige and thought that he would come back to kill Huang Taiji, he would be an idiot who couldn't be more stupid.However, is the Ming emperor stupid?Obviously not!
When Chen Shaozong heard that Geng Zhongming didn't believe it, he immediately took it out of his pocket again, took out the briefing he asked for from Lu Xiangsheng, handed it to Geng Zhongming and said, "Sir, if you don't believe it, just read it for yourself!"

When Geng Zhongming heard it, he was a little curious, so he immediately took it over to look at it.At this glance, he was immediately attracted.

This briefing roughly summed up the battle of Guihua City.From Geng Zhongming's eyes, he can judge that this is true.Moreover, since the Ming emperor's personal conquest, he has been attacking the weaknesses of the Qing and Mongolian coalition forces, and finally wiped out the Qing army and two large Mongolian tribes, which can be said to be a matter of course.And he also saw from it that Daming's army was not the same as before, it was really capable of fighting.Even if the Qing army was blocked in Guihua City and jumped under the wall in a hurry, they were finally prevented.I have to say, great!

By the way, seeing Azige kill Jierhalang and agreeing to come back to kill Huang Taiji is not what Geng Zhongming cares most about.He was more concerned about what he saw from this briefing, the Ming emperor's brilliance and martial arts, the Ming imperial forest army's ability to conquer and fight, and the pervasive Jinyiwei spies.

Looking at the analysis in his heart, Geng Zhongming couldn't help but secretly startled.Although I already knew that the Ming Kingdom was even more powerful, I never expected that it would be so powerful!
It's not that he didn't think about whether this briefing was faked by Lu Xiangsheng.However, from the analysis of the paper, date, etc. of the briefing, he concluded that there should be no fakes.

He was even more shocked when he confirmed this.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked Chen Shaozong about the details of the briefing.

When Chen Shaozong heard it, he said it again.After he finished speaking, he saw that Geng Zhongming hadn't spoken, so he talked about what he had seen and heard after he went to the island, and finally sighed: "It would be great if the imperial court could send Governor Lu to Dongjiang after the death of Marshal Mao. ah!"

As soon as Geng Zhongming heard it, the image of Lu Xiangsheng appeared in his mind: capable of writing and martial arts, he could also eat and live with ordinary soldiers, sharing joys and sorrows. This kind of commander is probably only comparable to the famous Tang Dynasty general Guo Ziyi, right?If after Mao Shuai died, the imperial court could really send such a governor to Phi Island...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being stunned.

It took a long time for Geng Zhongming to come back to his senses, and after asking some more questions, the secret conversation ended.

Before Chen Shaozong left the house and was about to open the door, he thought of something again and turned around to remind Geng Zhongming: "Sir, don't be fooled by the military information given to the Governor. Don't forget that there are spies from the Jin Yiwei. The Governor knows about us." If you are fooling around, it’s not okay to be dishonest!”

"Okay, I know it in my heart." Geng Zhongming listened, agreed, and then watched Chen Shaozong happily open the door and go out.

He sat in the study by himself and didn't go out, just sitting there blankly.

After a person calmed down, he recalled the whole incident and felt that he seemed a little impulsive just now.No matter what, it is impossible for the Ming army to undergo such a big change in just a few years!

Thinking of what he had seen and heard when he was under the command of Governor Sun, he had seen a lot of ugliness in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.Even Sun Zhongcheng, who has kindness to him, actually has prejudice against warriors like them in his bones.The new army at that time was the most able to fight.When he rebelled back then, he knew how much effort the Ming country had spent to drive him into the sea...

At some point, there was a "squeak" sound, and the sound of the door opening brought him back to his senses, and when he turned his head, it was his son Geng Jimao who had slipped in.

He closed the door like a thief and walked towards Geng Zhongming, hoping to ask: "Dad, how is the matter? The governor of the Ming Dynasty didn't suspect anything, right?"

After hearing this, Geng Zhongming didn't answer, but just handed Lu Xiangsheng's letter to him.

After reading it, Geng Jimao couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly said to Geng Zhongming: "Father, it seems that Lu Xiangsheng has been fooled. This is really great, and finally he has lived up to the emperor's expectations!"

Seeing his son's happy expression, Geng Zhongming felt uncomfortable. After pondering for a while, he said: "Go to Shengjing, secretly ask the emperor to see the emperor, and report the situation to the emperor. And ask for information about the military situation in Liaodong. Good reply to Governor Lu!"

"No problem, my son will go right away!" Hearing this, Geng Jimao immediately agreed, turned around and wanted to leave.

When Geng Zhongming saw him, he couldn't help sighing again in his heart. He stopped his son, wrote a memorial, sealed the letter with Lu Xiangsheng and the briefing, handed it to Geng Jimao, and explained: "Attention, go secretly, Don't arouse suspicion. Jin Yiwei's spies are all-pervasive!"

"Don't worry, Dad, this is a major matter that the emperor has entrusted, and the child will manage it even if he tries his best!" Geng Jimao immediately expressed his opinion after hearing this.

Geng Zhongming frowned when he heard that, and immediately scolded: "What do you want to do so hard? Bah, bah, bah!"

Hearing this, Geng Jimao made a playful smile and left in a hurry.

So, Geng Zhongming was left alone in the study.

He sat by himself for a while, then suddenly took out a letter from his pocket, and read it again.

This letter was sent secretly by his brother Kong Youde.

Hearing that the title of King Huaishun was taken away, and that Huang Taiji had a lot of opinions on Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde was very worried.Although he sent someone to contact Geng Zhongming, if Huang Taiji found out, it would hurt him, but he finally sent someone to ask about the situation.

After looking at the letter for a long time, he finally sighed, found a flint, and burned the letter with a fire.

…………

Eight days later, in the Chongzheng Palace in Shengjing City, Geng Jimao, who came secretly, saw Huang Taiji alone.

Huang Taiji looked at him, feeling very satisfied in his heart, such a pious servant is still rare, it is rare that Geng Zhongming gave birth to a good son!

He moved his body slightly forward, said "Pingshen" kindly, and then asked: "Geng Qing sent you here because of my instructions. Do you have any clues?"

Geng Zhongming's son came to ask for an interview in secret, if nothing unexpected happened, it must be that matter.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Geng Jimao replied respectfully: "Father devoted all his attention to what His Majesty explained. Your Majesty is wise, and indeed Lu Xiangsheng of the Ming Dynasty has replied!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately took out Geng Zhongming's memorial from his arms and offered it with both hands.

When an eunuch next to him saw it, he immediately stepped forward, took the wooden box with both hands, and turned it to the imperial court.And found the key to unlock it, took out the memorial inside, and put it on the imperial case. This is the so-called secret memorial.

When Huang Taiji saw it, it seemed to be very thick, and he was a little curious, so he immediately looked at it.

When he looked at Geng Zhongming's memorial, he had a smile on his face at first, but after seeing it, his face slowly changed, and the smile disappeared.

Soon, after finishing the memorial, he immediately looked at the remaining two copies.

Lu Xiangsheng's handwritten letter to Geng Zhongming, he just skimmed through it and put it aside.Afterwards, he picked up the briefing and read it carefully.

Looking at it, he suddenly patted the case and made a "pop", which immediately startled Geng Jimao who was waiting waiting, and made him kneel down quickly.

This action of his brought Huang Taiji back to his senses, so he took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Geng Jimao: "It's none of your business, get up!"

"Your majesty was so furious because I sent the memorial to my father. It's my fault!" Geng Jimao didn't get up, but bowed his head and wept.

His words made Huang Taiji a little dumbfounded, and unconsciously, it also diluted a lot of the bad feelings in his heart.

"I said, get up, you probably haven't seen the thing attached to this memorial." Huang Taiji said with a smile, "Your father did a good job, let me know something else!"

"The servant really doesn't know. The father sent the servant to rush to Shengjing immediately after the seal was sealed." Geng Jimao's heart fell to the ground, and after explaining a sentence, he finally stood up and stood with his hands down.

Hearing this, Huang Taiji applauded secretly in his heart, this Geng Zhongming knew how to measure, and he didn't yell about Azige's matter.

I have to say that after reading this briefing, his heart was even heavier.

It's not that he was worried that Azig would really assassinate him when he came back this time.But from this briefing, he saw Ming Guo's strength again, which made him feel very stressed!
Only Geng Zhongming and his son knew about dealing with Lu Xiangsheng and his Dongjiang army this time. Even if Jin Yiwei's spies are really everywhere, they must not know this time!

With this in mind, he made a decision, and confessed to Geng Jimao: "I will prepare what your father asked for, and someone will give it to you tomorrow morning."

He had to think carefully about what kind of news he should give in order to win the big fish of Diao Lu Xiangsheng.After all, the first thing is not to make Lu Xiangsheng suspicious, and the second thing is not to let the lurking spies know about the subsequent arrangements, which is still a bit difficult.

When Geng Jimao heard this, of course he would have no objection, so he quickly agreed, and then he was led out of the palace by the servants, and went to the post station to rest.

After rushing for many days, I arrived in Shengjing and it was time to relax.However, Geng Jimao knew the seriousness of the matter. He came in secret and of course he would not go out.It's just that in the inn, I asked a few beautiful female slaves to accompany me to drink.

 Thank you Kuangrui for the reward of 500 starting coins, and thank you for your reward!
