I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 23 Good!good!Well done!
"Boom boom boom!"

"Your Majesty, the Ping-Liao army is expected to return to Beijing today, and I have already ordered people to prepare wine and food to reward the soldiers."

Wei Zhongxian stood at the door and reported the government affairs of the court.

"Come in!"

When this voice came, Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

Ever since he was punished and grounded in front of the palace, he has never heard His Majesty's voice again.

If it wasn't for the amnesty at the beginning of the new year, and Hong Chengchou's recent business entanglement and not being in the imperial city, how could Wei Zhongxian find such a high-sounding reason to appear in front of Zhu Youjian.

Take a deep breath and push the door open.

Wei Zhongxian bowed his body humbly, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the majestic Zhu Youjian, and was shocked.

Surprised by surprise, the reaction was quite fast.

"His Majesty Saint Ann!"

Wei Zhongxian knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian with a plop, his words and expressions were full of remorse, his eyes were flushed, and he squeezed out a few tears in a daze.

"Get up!"

The corner of Zhu Youjian's mouth twitched, he held back his contempt, and said sternly: "If you do it again in the future, I will definitely not forgive you!"

"I dare not!"

"I ask you something, you answer truthfully, if there is half a lie, you will be killed without mercy!"

"I don't dare! Your majesty is wise. How dare you hide even half of it. You must know everything and say everything. You can just ask, Your Majesty!"

"Did the Pingliao army win or lose?"

The Ping-Liao army should not have been called this name.

This army is not going to quell the civil strife in Liaodong, but to resist gold and aid Liao.

However, Qi Wang Huazhen, the general of the Ping-Liao Army, insisted on naming the army this way.

"Your Majesty, the Ping Liao army is a victory this time! General Wang has set up formations in various strongholds in Liaodong, and formulated a plan for 6 people to destroy the Houjin, and comprehensively conquer the Jurchen tribe!"

"The first line was set up for Sanchahe, the second line was set up for Xiping Fort, and the rest were equal to the third line set up for Guangning City. Two of the lineups were seen through and ended in failure.

However, under the wise guidance of General Wang, General Xiong Tingbi beheaded thousands of enemies, and finally he was able to retreat completely and returned to the court. "

It is not difficult for Wei Zhongxian to report the military situation.

Speaking, he is the best.

If it is too true, others will not listen to it, and it will not be pleasing to the ear.

If it is too fake, it will be easily dismantled and untrustworthy.

In the past few decades in the palace, Wei Zhongxian has learned nothing but how to speak to His Majesty.

Half-truths and half-false are the leftovers of other people's play. Wei Zhongxian is quite proud of it, and he likes to talk about nine truths and one falsehood.

It is true that there are three lines of defense, and it is true that Xiong Tingbi is very powerful.

As for whether it is Wang Huazhen's credit, does it matter?The important thing is that Wang Huazhen is Wei Zhongxian's man!

Wei Zhongxian touched the gold ingot hidden deep in his sleeve calmly, and smiled until his wrinkles appeared.

"If it is as you said, Wang Huazhen's command is effective, and Xiong Tingbi's meritorious service in beating the enemy should indeed be rewarded."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian paused for a while, and glanced at Wei Zhongxian with a half-smile, his eyes resting on a slightly raised position in his arms.

Forget it, he will not pursue this matter for the time being.

There will be plenty of time to deal with this person in the future!
"After talking about the foreign enemy, let's talk about the internal strife! The Bauhinia has just been pacified. Is there any news from Hong Chengchou?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Hong is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he must be able to handle the rest of Bauhinia's chassis property with ease.

Today at Yinshi, the first batch of jewelery and silver counted by Mr. Hong has been put into the national treasury.

In addition, Lord Hong wrote in a letter stating that the remaining chassis of the Bauhinia Headquarters have been registered and stored, and the land deeds will be available for sale in the market in the near future. "

"Good! Good! Well done!"

Zhu Youjian made no secret of his appreciation for Hong Chengchou.

But Wei Zhongxian didn't have such a good idea.

During his relegation, he was grounded all the time, and he never had the opportunity to serve Zhu Youjian, but this Hong Chengchou seized the opportunity to become a popular person beside the emperor.

In the future, wouldn't this person take his place?
He can't let this happen!
"Master Hong is patient and meticulous. To be able to change from a small local official to a commander of the Jinyiwei must have extraordinary skills. I heard that after the morning court, all the adults will go to Master Hong for advice!"

Sow discord!

Zhu Youjian sees through but doesn't tell the truth.

He actually knew what Wei Zhongxian wanted to express, he just wanted to say that Hong Chengchou had made great achievements and stole his limelight.

"I remember, before you were grounded, Dongchang was the busiest every time you retreated from the court."

I really lifted a rock and shot myself in the foot!
Now Wei Zhongxian is honest.

Zhu Youjian was expressionless, waved his hands and said: "Xuan Wang Huazhen, Xiong Tingbi came to see me in the palace, I want to hear something about the Ping Liao army."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wei Zhongxian bowed and stepped back.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youjian stared at the two people standing bowed in front of him, and measured their loyalty.

The first is Xiong Tingbi.

85!

Shang Ke, knowing that he will be held accountable, but still have such loyalty, not bad!
Then there is Wang Huazhen.

70!

This loyalty is a bit low.

Moreover, this person looked at him with a wicked face, and he didn't look like a good person.

"This time Ping Liao, how do the two lovers feel? Is it victory or defeat?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is..."

Wang Huazhen spoke first, and secretly gave Xiong Tingbi a warning look.

"I want to hear the truth, I have to think about it before I speak!!"

Zhu Youjian said expressionlessly.

For the answer, he knew the answer, the reason why he said this was just to give them another chance.

Only then did Xiong Tingbi slowly raise his head, just in time to meet the emperor's encouraging eyes, and sighed softly.

He was both happy and a little sad.

Fortunately, their emperor was really as the world said, no longer licentious.

The sad thing is that if I make such a big mistake, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve the country in the future!

He has no face to face the emperor, he is ashamed of Daming!
Xiong Fangrui knelt down with a plop, but his body was straight.

He put down the things in his hand, took off his cap, took off his official seal, and kowtowed three times to Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty!"

Wang Huazhen's eyes were about to go blind, but Xiong Tingbi didn't understand.

"This time in Ping Liao, I misjudged and mistrusted others, and agreed to the strategy of dividing troops and deploying troops, which caused heavy losses to our [-] army of Ming Dynasty. Two formation strongholds were occupied by Houjin, and suffered a disastrous defeat!"

Xiong Tingbi is a person who doesn't know how to beat around the bush, and doesn't know how to "modify" his words, which is different from people like Wei Zhongxian.

But what he said was the truth, and it was the truth!
Strictly speaking, they were defeated.

Zhu Youjian raised his eyebrows, looked at the big man in front of him who had taken off his official hat and uniform, and suddenly felt that this man was a little naive and cute.

"Furthermore, I also heard that you have wiped out many Houjin troops. What's going on?"

What Xiong Tingbi said must be truer than what Wei Zhongxian said.

But how dare Wang Huazhen, who is in the same rank as Wei Zhongxian, let this stupid man continue talking, if he continues talking, he will be finished!
