Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Zhang Quan arrived very early with the generals above the garrison in Liaoyang. After Cao Huachun learned that these people had not had breakfast, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It was hard for these people to come here against the northwest wind in the cold weather.Hurry up and take them to dinner first.

Mao Yunlong approached Cao Huachun and asked, "Eunuch Cao, isn't it disrespectful for us to eat before going to see the emperor?"

Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "Master Mao, please don't call our family eunuchs, our family is not even a young eunuch. Calling Xiao Cao is flattering me as a slave."

Mao Wenlong blinked, as if he didn't understand Cao Huachun's change. When he was instructing them on the audience etiquette yesterday, he didn't object to calling him a eunuch.

Seeing that Mao Wenlong didn't know the way here, Zhang Quan cut down his face and interrupted Mao Wenlong who was still about to speak, and also relieved Cao Huachun.

"Just go and eat."

When Mao Wenlong saw his boss speak, he shut up obediently and followed.

Cao Huachun dared to take them to breakfast first because the emperor was having breakfast in the imperial tent.The emperor agreed to their request for an audience, and it was not that Jiannu came to attack the camp, so it was not allowed to interrupt the emperor's meal.But let these people wait outside on an empty stomach, the emperor will definitely reprimand him for not doing things when he knows.

When the people in Liaoyang served their breakfast, they cupped their hands and said to Zhang Quan: "Master Zhang, our family is going back to serve in front of the imperial court. It's good for you to eat breakfast and let the captain of the forbidden army take you back to the imperial tent."

Zhang Quan immediately bowed his hand in return, nodding his thanks.

When Zhang Quan and others came to the imperial tent again, they saw Taining Hou walking out.Marquis Taining shook hands with them with a smile, only greeted them, left a sentence that the emperor is waiting for them inside, and left in a hurry.

In addition to Zhang Quan, Hou Shilu, Tong Zhongkui and Taininghou also knew each other in their group. Yesterday, they all heard Cao Huachun say that Taininghou had contributed to the development of the new artillery led by the emperor, so they were full of respect for Taininghou.

Ma Xianglin whispered to Hou Gongji, "Is this the Marquis of Taining?"

Hou Gongji followed his father to meet Marquis Taining a long time ago, but from the names they called, he must have been this person.Glaring at Ma Xianglin, he motioned to the imperial tent in front of him to stop asking silly questions.

Zhang Quan was sent to Liaoyang City as a patrol censor during Wanli's reign.In a blink of an eye, he became a veteran of the three dynasties.When he bowed down to the young emperor on the throne, he not only had the etiquette that a courtier should have for an emperor, but also had a deeper respect.One of the reasons is the thorough investigation of Hidden Fields and the adjustment of commercial taxes.As a local government official, he is too aware of the impact of these two points on people's livelihood.Another reason is that the Shanxi merchants were completely eradicated, leaving Jiannu with no capital to continue rampant.

Another is that the young emperor was able to preside over the development of new artillery, and even dared to lead the battle.Although he disapproved of the emperor personally going into battle, it did not prevent him from admiring the emperor for having such courage.

Zhu Youxiao was very polite to Zhang Quan and others, and gave them a seat after they saluted.After carefully inquiring about the current situation of Liaoyang City, he praised these generals well.Instruct Zhang Quan to report the achievements of these generals in defending the city to the Ministry of War in detail, so that the Ministry of War can make appropriate awards.When Zhang Quan mentioned the Ning's and Ma's cases years ago, Zhu Youxiao immediately expressed his opinion.

"Zhang Qing did a good job. He did extraordinary things in extraordinary times. If those spies could not be dealt with decisively, Liaoyang City might have been lost by them, like Fushun."

Zhang Quan's heart finally came to fruition.He is not afraid that someone will be impeached because he signed the murder beyond his authority. He is afraid that the emperor is a character who is bound by the rules of the court and does not know how to act flexibly.It should be noted that if the officials in charge outside the country wait until the court responds to deal with anything, not to mention losing the opportunity, it is likely to cause irreparable losses.

Zhang Quan let go of his own concerns, and he was in the mood to persuade the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have sent three urgent letters to the capital in the past two days. The first one was to report to the imperial court that the emperor led the army to rescue Liaoyang. The key point is to impeach the cabinet and six ministers and other civil servants, military generals and honorable clans. They agree to His Majesty's personal conquest."

Everyone in the royal tent was stunned.

Mr. Zhang, you are awesome, your impeachment has exhausted the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao moved the corner of his mouth slightly, and just about to say something, Zhang Quan became impassioned.

"Which one of them is not deeply grateful for the grace of the Heavenly Family, but it is shameless to push the underage emperor to lead the army when the situation comes to an end."

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly interjected: "Zhang Qing, I don't want to take those old ministers with me. One is that they are old and their bodies can't bear the fast march. The other is to keep them in the capital to handle daily political affairs.

Duke Ying and Duke Ding of Xunguili are also vying to lead the army, but it is so easy for me to make such a burst of artillery. With this, I can make meritorious deeds and achieve achievements comparable to my ancestors, haha. "

Zhu Youxiao immediately told the truth and told Zhang Quan the reason for his personal enlistment.

Such an emperor suddenly blocked Zhang Quan's speech.

He coughed lightly and sighed: "Your Majesty, the battle of the Tumu Fort has completely lost the elite of the Ming Dynasty. The overturning of the front car is a lesson for the rear car."

Zhu Youxiao immediately followed Zhang Quan's words and said in a soothing tone: "Zhang Qing, I understand your intentions. But after the defeat of Sarhu, our Ming soldiers lost confidence in fighting against Jiannu. If I don't personally conquer , I'm afraid it will be difficult to motivate the soldiers."

Zhang Quan knew that what the emperor said was the truth, but when he was blocked by the emperor again, he immediately became annoyed.

"Your Majesty, it's fine if you conscript yourself. Don't you have enough generals in the army? You still need to lead the army to fight? If you are injured in the fight, have you ever thought about Daming's Sheji?"

More than a thousand words, Balabala, quickly spit out from Zhang Quan's mouth.When he stopped, Cao Huachun brought a cup of tea to Zhang Quan under the sign of the emperor, and whispered in his ear: "Master Zhang, the emperor came out of the pavilion to study after he ascended the throne. Those words you just said..."

Zhang Quan took the tea and looked up at the emperor.But seeing that the emperor and all the generals in the imperial tent had the same dumb expressions, he was so angry that he poured down the cup of tea, secretly hating himself for being right in what he said just now!

Seeing that Zhang Quan's expression was not good, Yang Lin smiled and helped him out because Zhang Quan had sent someone to take care of the seriously injured soldiers who moved over.

"My lord Zhang, His Majesty's martial arts is from the British public school. In the end, it will be seen that His Majesty's martial arts is still higher than that of the British princes. None of us may be able to take a few tricks in front of Your Majesty."

Hou Gongji and Ma Xianglin were young, and when they heard what Yang Lin said, they didn't dare to propose a competition with the emperor, but they immediately looked around, ignoring the face-to-face etiquette explained by Cao Huachun, and stood up to ask the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the last general asks to follow His Majesty's personal expedition."

Just as Cao Huachun wanted to scold the two stunned young men, Qin Liangyu and the others all stood up and challenged.He stretched out his hand to cover the teacup in Zhang Quan's hand, and pulled the teacup out of Zhang Quan's hand with some strength, not daring to look at Zhang Quan's face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The teacup in Zhang Quan's hand was picked away by Cao Huachun, and the pain caused by his nails scratching his palm made him regain his sanity.

Is the Son of Heaven another Wuzong?

Zhang Quan regretted impeaching those old ministers.It must be that Fang Congzhe and others could not dissuade him, so he had to let the emperor personally conscript.Don't say that the emperor wants to shine in the annals of history, which man doesn't want to make contributions.

But the young emperor in front of him wanted to establish a feat comparable to that of his ancestors, but his action of fighting in battle was inferior.Swords and guns have no eyes, what if you get hurt?Besides, will the annals of history open another list comparing the martial arts of emperors?

I can't stop the emperor's personal conquest, but I still have to dissuade the emperor from directly fighting.

Zhang Quan raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty."

The voices of the people calling for the battle were immediately suppressed by his abrupt call of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to think about the Ming Dynasty and not to fight in person again. Swords and guns have no eyes. If Jiannu learns that His Majesty's royal conquest is personally on the battlefield, maybe he will follow the example of the Tatars."

Cao Huachun stretched out his hand to give Zhang Quan a hand, Mr. Zhang dared to say anything.

Those who had never participated in the court meeting were dumbfounded at Zhang Quan, who looked serious and unrelenting.Is this the so-called censor's persuasion?Is it endless if you don't achieve your goal?

Zhu Youxiao had a headache looking at Zhang Quan who was so serious, he was easier to fool than Zhang Wenda.

"Zhang Qing, I can only say that I will try my best not to fight in person in the future."

Zhang Quan stiffened his neck and did not spit out.

Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to persuade him patiently, "Zhang Qing, it was just an accident that I went to battle in person the day before yesterday."

As Zhu Youxiao expected, Zhang Quan's expression clearly showed disbelief.

"Zhang Qing, you led the soldiers to defend the city of Liaoyang. You know that things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. If I choose to promise you that I will never go to the battlefield in the future, it is definitely a lie. I can only promise you that the future Try not to go into battle yourself.”

Zhang Quan wailed in his heart, this is another Wuzong.God, take me away, so that I won't be worried about following the emperor.

"Your Majesty has broken the siege of Shenyang, so he will return to the court?" Zhang Quan and the emperor confirmed the date of return.

Zhu Youxiao immediately denied, "I want to take back Fushun, Tieling and other places."

Zhang Quan immediately said: "Your Majesty, I ask you to follow me."

This is even more impossible.

"Zhang Qing, I don't need civil servants to accompany me. Among my [-] troops, only Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua can't go into battle. Among the forbidden army, those who are slightly inferior in martial arts are not selected by the British Duke."

Zhang Quan was clearly disgusted by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it is true that I am a civil servant, but my martial arts are not weak."

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, "There are so many things going on in Liaoyang. If you represent my herdsmen and manage Liaoyang City well, you will fulfill your duty as a courtier."

Seeing that the emperor refused to agree, Zhang Quan retreated and said: "Your Majesty, how about letting the son-in-law of the minister follow you and be your Majesty's guard?"

Ma Xianglin immediately opened his mouth and let out a big smile.

"Your Majesty, the general's martial arts are very good, and he will definitely protect His Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao looked Ma Xianglin up and down for a long time, but when he asked, he forced Ma Xianglin to take a step back.

"Do you have a son?"

Ma Xianglin didn't know that a guard who wanted to be the emperor would have to have a son, so he said shyly, "The last general got married in Laba last year, so naturally he won't have a son so soon."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, "We'll talk about it after you have a son."

Qin Liangyu took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the last general requests to follow His Majesty on the expedition."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "General Qin, the imperial army in Liaoyang City has been taken away, and there are still so many seriously injured, you have to rely on your white soldiers to maintain the peace of Liaoyang City."

Hou Shilu saw that the emperor just didn't want to look like anyone else, and instead of saying that he wanted to ask for orders, he recommended Mao Wenlong instead.

"Your Majesty, the final general recommends Mao Wenlong, who is guarding Kuiyang, to follow him. He is highly skilled in martial arts, flexible in mind, and has quite a few old soldiers who can take care of things."

When Mao Wenlong saw Hou Shilu recommending himself, he immediately bowed down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to be a pawn."

Zhu Youxiao first ordered Mao Wenlong to get up, and then said to him: "The military discipline of our [-]-strong army is very strict. If you are not afraid of breaking the military law and being beheaded before going into battle, come here."

Tong Zhongkui admired Mao Wenlong, and after a few months, he became more aware of Mao Wenlong's sexuality, so he immediately stopped him.

"Mao Zhennan, you are still planning to garrison Kuiyang Pass next month."

After he said something to Mao Wenlong, he immediately bowed his hands to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is being rude. This Mao Zhennan is used to laxity. If Liaoyang Defenders didn't need him, he would indeed be able. The number of times, as early as [-] years ago, the upper body of the army was beaten into a meat paste."

Mao Wenlong was embarrassed, and wanted to say that he could abide by the military law by following the emperor, but he opened his mouth several times, but he still couldn't say it.

Zhu Youxiao was very disappointed with him in his heart, but he still encouraged him to guard the Kuiyang Pass after a few words, which was the first pass in Liaodong.When Hou Shilu saw Tong Zhongkui mentioning Mao Wenlong's violation of military law, he was embarrassed and knew that Tong Zhongkui was doing it for Mao Wenlong's good and to save Mao Wenlong's life.Everyone else regretted in their hearts that Mao Wenlong could not discipline himself and lost a great opportunity.

After the audience, Cao Huachun took Zhang Quan and others to have lunch, but Zhang Quan refused.

Cao Huachun was not reluctant, and sent the man to the gate of the barracks, and said to Zhang Quan with a smile: "The emperor's soldiers of the imperial army were selected one by one by the British Duke. Those horses are also used to the sound of shell explosions."

Zhang Quan thanked Cao Huachun with his fists in his arms, and took the generals back to Liaoyang City.
