Need for a Guard

Cheng Ye was terrified.

The death of the queen mother made him fall into an unprecedented passivity, and all the schemes and tricks could not cover up the catastrophe of the queen mother being assassinated.

Cheng Ye knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "The last general has tried his best, and my heart can attract the sun and the moon."

Xiao Yan also felt more passive, and hastily knelt down on the ground, saying: "My son-in-law can, but failed to protect the Queen Mother, but the security arrangement is under the overall planning and deployment of Commander Kang. If he is really held accountable, Commander Kang is the most responsible, and I ask the emperor to check it out."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he winked to the left and right. [

Zeng Shan hurriedly knelt down and said: "I think Admiral Cheng has a pure heart, he is not afraid of danger, he fought bloody battles with bandits, and the soldiers under his command also fought to the death under the encouragement of Admiral Cheng. The admiral has the talent of a leader like a general, even if it is credit, it is also hard work, besides, several ministers escaped safely under the protection of Cheng Ye, this is also the credit of Admiral Cheng."

"What Zeng Shang said is very true."

Shang Liudan of the Ministry of Industry knelt down on his knees and said, "I was almost killed, and it was Admiral Cheng who rescued me."

"Sir too!"

"The minister is the same."

……

Five or six high-ranking officials and ministers came forward to testify to Cheng Ye's "credit" for saving people.

Minister Zhao Shuo of the Ministry of War also knelt down, and said loudly: "The minister in charge of the Ministry of War has different opinions on the weakness of the troops. The Nine Gate City Guards had outstanding achievements, which cannot be disputed, but that was in the era of Hualei, the God of War. Going back to seclusion, the Nine Gates City Guard has been dismantled several times, and it has lost its former glory. Moreover, the days of peace have passed for a long time, and the soldiers have lost the murderous aura they used to be born and die."

"And the most important thing is that the Jiumen City Guard has been in charge of four generals including Hong Shan, Bai Zhi, Mo Bing, and Lan Jian. The change of generals is intentional and frequent. The battle strength of the city guards was damaged. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it with the phrase 'four different images'. In fact, Admiral Cheng took over the Nine Gates City Guards for just over two months. The strength of the Nine Gates City Guards has been improved, but it has brought out the spirit of daring to fight and not fearing life and death. These dead and injured Nine Gates City Guards are the best witnesses. Therefore, I think that Cheng Ye is not only guilty, but also Meritorious service, please the emperor clearly observe."

Zhao Shuonai is a soldier in the Ministry of War, and his words are sharp, which can be said to be to the point.

This skill has to be admired.

Afterwards, more than a dozen ministers knelt down and interceded for Cheng Ye.

"My dear friends, get up quickly. In fact, I also think that Admiral Cheng is a man to be made. Moreover, I also think that Admiral Cheng's merits outweigh his faults. He should be rewarded! He should be rewarded heavily."

Yan Jing changed the subject and wanted to reward Cheng Ye, which made Cheng Ye, Xiao Yan, Zeng Shan, Zhao Shuo, and Xiao Yan puzzled.

What kind of trick is the little emperor playing?

It would be nice not to punish Cheng Ye, but to reward him?Did he say something wrong?

When they were curious, they saw Bai Mochou also came out to speak, and said loudly: "Although Admiral Cheng is not very good at running the army, he still has the blood of a soldier. I also agree to reward Cheng Ye."

Shi Yue unexpectedly also said: "Most of the brothers of the Jiumen City Guard were killed or injured, and they sacrificed their lives for the country. I thought that not only should Admiral Cheng be rewarded, but these city soldiers should also be rewarded."

My day! [

Cheng Ye was completely baffled: what's going on today, even the old bastard Bai and Shi Yue, who have always been in the same situation as him, are speaking for him?Are they out of their minds?The little emperor's head should have been flooded, or was he overly frightened and lost his size?

In fact, Yan Jing, Shi Yue, and Bai Mochou needed to 'protect' Cheng Ye.

At the very least, we must keep Cheng Ye firmly in the position of the Nine Gate City Guards, and even expand it so that they can form a real threat to Kang Shanzhen.

Only in this way can Kang Shanzhen spare no effort to ask the little playboy out of the mountain.

If Cheng Ye fell and the Nine Gate City Guards were replaced by Kang Shanzhen, how would the little dude have a chance to come out?

To put it bluntly, this is a game, a deeper game.

But for Cheng Ye, he must be suppressed, so that he should not be too arrogant.

Moreover, the reason why Yanjing frightened Cheng Ye was to think that Xiao Yan was the only one who would kill ministers, and Xiao Yan was the only one who obeyed.

Yan Jing was very satisfied with today's results, only a dozen or so ministers including Zeng Shan and Zhao Shuo stood for Cheng Ye.

You know, Xiao Yan is calling the wind and calling the rain in the court, and there are dozens of ministers around him, like flies, who can't be chased away. There are only a dozen today. Isn't this enough for Yanjing to be happy?

Hehe... I have established my prestige today, and some ministers have already been alerted.

It feels good.

"Admiral Cheng, you are a meritorious person, why are you still kneeling there? Get up quickly."

Yan Jing's eyes drifted over the Nine Gate City Guards and the Black Clothes Guards, and said loudly: "You have protected me, the blood of the royal family, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. I am very pleased. I am proud of you. Especially Shi Qianhu's black-clothed guards moved me the most."

Yan Jing looked at King Fu and said: "Uncle, the Mongols are the ones you hate the most, right? The Mongols are also the ones you fear the most, right? Besides, my aunt Yantong is still alone and suffering so much. Isn't it because the emperor is afraid of Mongolian soldiers?"

Fu Wang Yanjun's face was burning hot, which meant to slap him in the face, but he couldn't make a sound, so he could only respond with silence

Today he received Shi Yue's favor, and also suffered the setback that Ouyang Liufeng brought him, his expression was downcast, he was really not in the mood to argue with Yan Jing again.

"That's right, you can't blame the emperor. Who doesn't know that the Mongolian soldiers are fierce and decisive, and they have the courage to fight? No one is afraid of such soldiers, but..."

When Yan Jing said this, she suddenly raised her voice, pointed at her heart, and shouted: "But, from today on, I am no longer afraid, because of what?"

Pointing to the piles of monk corpses, he said sonorously: "Because the Mongolian soldiers are nothing more than that. Although they are brave, in the eyes of Shi Qianhu's black-clothed guards, they are just targets and lambs. Fierce, no matter how brave, what can it do? The black guards killed more than 400 bandits at the cost of more than 700 casualties. Isn't this exciting number enough to make us despise the Mongolian soldiers?"

As soon as this remark came out, it represented his affirmation of the black-clothed guards, but it implied that these monks were basically killed by the black-clothed guards, and had nothing to do with the Nine Gates City Guards.

Xiao Yan coughed lightly, and argued: "Your Majesty, the black-clothed guards have made great contributions, but the nine-door city guards have also performed well."

"Really? Prime Minister Xiao, come here."

Yan Jing led Xiao Yan to stand beside the corpses of those monks, pointed to the blood holes on those monks' bodies, and said, "Please, Prime Minister Xiao, show me how many monks were stabbed to death?"

Seeing the blood holes and arrow wounds on those monks, Xiao Yan was immediately dumbfounded and blushed with embarrassment.
