East Factory Governor

Chapter 204 Dongchang Duke Cao Huachun

Everyone was shocked!

If it is said that Yuan Chonghuan sent people to congratulate Qin Shuhuai because of his military exploits for the Guanning Army, then why did Dongchang Governor Cao Huachun come to congratulate him?Could it be that Qin Shuhuai still has contact with the people from Dongchang?
Qin Shuhuai also frowned, what kind of trouble did the people from Xindao Dongchang come to make at this time?This Cao Huachun didn't mean to let the martial arts world know that my Jianghe gang was created by Dongchang, right?Damn, if he does this, the situation he has worked so hard to save for so long will be completely ruined!You must know that the people in the martial arts are most taboo about the imperial court meddling in the martial arts. If you let them know that the Jianghe gang belongs to the imperial court, who will listen to you then?Not only won't listen, I'm afraid the whole martial arts world will be full of hostility towards him!This Cao Huachun has always lived in the palace and never showed his face, but he doesn't come sooner or later, but he came at this time!

Not long after, I saw a middle-aged beardless man wearing a golden lin robe, a rhinoceros belt around his waist, and palace boots striding forward. His face was slightly pale, but his breath was vigorous and even, and every step They are all as stable as Mount Tai, and they are obviously top internal experts.

All the heroes present looked sideways.The factory guard is the link between the imperial court and the martial arts, and the Eastern Factory is above the Jinyiwei. There are so many masters in the factory, and they have a great reputation in the martial arts—although it may not be a good reputation.Cao Huachun, the governor of the East Factory, has always lived in the palace and never appeared in the martial arts world, but there are many legends about him in the world.It is said that he had practiced evil skills. When he captured Wei Zhongxian that day, he almost single-handedly killed Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Generals, Shi Hai'er and a large number of masters.Although he has a great name, but it is the first time to show his face in martial arts, how can everyone not be curious?
Qin Shuhuai glanced at Cao Huachun, only to see that he had a smile on his face, but he was indescribably kind, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.And behind him was Li Daliang who hadn't been seen for a long time.

After Cao Huachun entered the hall, he first took out a yellow gold scroll from his sleeve, and said in a sharp voice, "Qin Shuhuai, the leader of the Jianghe Gang, accepts the order!"

Everyone's heart was shocked again.

Qin Shuhuai was even more shocked, thinking what Chongzhen was going to do?Make an order for yourself at this time, isn't this to tell the heroes of the world that I am yours?When did he become so stupid?

For a time, countless thoughts surged in my heart.

Could this be Cao Huachun's conspiracy?He wants to destroy the Jianghe Gang?No, when did he become so bold and dare to falsely preach the imperial decree?
Although he was surprised and entangled in his heart, he had no choice but to accept the order first.

However, he did not kneel down, but clasped his fists in front of the imperial decree, and said, "I will accept the imperial decree from the great emperor."

Neither humble nor overbearing, to show that he is not in a subordinate relationship with the emperor.Qin Shuhuai has already made up his mind, no matter what, he must not reveal his identity.If there is information in the imperial decree that is easy to expose his background, it is better to turn his face and deny it, tear up the imperial decree and insist that the court wants to sow discord, it is better than admitting that he is a member of the court in front of the heroes.

When Cao Huachun saw that Qin Shuhuai did not kneel down, he just smiled lightly, and then announced his decree.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Today there is Qin Shuhuai, a martial arts chivalrous man, who is unparalleled in martial arts and unparalleled in strategy. He is dedicated to protecting the people of Ming Dynasty and fighting bloody battles..."

Obviously, this is a certificate of commendation, a certificate of commendation from the emperor.In the imperial decree, Chongzhen reviewed the fact that Qin Shuhuai fought bloody battles against the Tartars in Zunhua, praised him greatly, and ordered him to be the general of Pingnu, plus eight hundred lands outside the city of Tongzhou!At the same time, in order to celebrate his wedding, Chongzhen rewarded 600 taels of gold, a pair of emerald jade Ruyi, and a luminous pearl.

After hearing the imperial decree, Qin Shuhuai felt relieved.The imperial decree only mentions that he is Qin Shuhuai, a martial arts knight, and does not say anything else.As for the title of General Pingnu, it doesn't mean that he will be a member of the court in the future, it is just an honorary title.The Shaolin School also has such honorary titles conferred by the imperial court. For example, Master Zhiyuan is the "Great Master of Protecting the Nation" proclaimed by Emperor Wanli, but who said that Shaolin is serving the imperial court?
Qin Shuhuai was right in thinking, this decree will not reveal his identity, but will only increase his reputation.

According to the rules, the emperor generally would not give orders to people in the martial arts. To put it bluntly, even if he gave orders to people in the martial arts, no one would listen to him.But there are exceptions.For example, if a sect has made a particularly great contribution to the national economy and the people's livelihood, or has done a great deal of chivalry, the emperor will order a reward.

This is an extremely honorable thing.

People in the Jianghu are fond of a "name". Since the emperor represents all people, his reward is the recognition and praise of this sect by all the people in the world. This kind of glory is naturally incomparable!What's more, the imperial court and martial arts have always been in a very subtle state of half-cooperation and half-confrontation. It is extremely rare for the imperial court to issue an order to reward a sect.In the Ming Dynasty, only the Shaolin and Wudang sects had won such honors.

And Qin Shuhuai was the third person to receive this honor.From this point of view, his Jianghe Gang was once again able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Shaolin and Wudang.

It has to be said that Chongzhen's decree is not only not stupid, but also extremely smart.First, he once again helped the Jianghe gang increase their prestige.Second, he appointed Qin Shuhuai as General Pingnu, in order to convey to Wulin that the imperial court intends to use the power of Wulin to fight against Jiannu.In this way, all future cooperation between Qin Shuhuai and the imperial court can be justified. Under the banner of "anti-slave" and under the halo of "national righteousness", no matter how close he is to the imperial court in the future, even if he is openly involved with the factory. With Wei, no one can say that he has taken refuge in the court.Without this layer of burden, Qin Shuhuai can let go of his hands and feet and work hard.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but praise in his heart, my brother Chongzhen, your divine assist came at just the right time.

Yuan Chonghuan and Chongzhen sent envoys to congratulate him again and again, making Qin Shuhuai's reputation reach its peak.So far, no one has questioned the fact that he was attacking Jiannu in Zunhua.

Sitting in the hall, Qi was already trembling with excitement.Originally, she thought that Qin Shuhuai was just a second- and third-rate gang leader, but it was only when she came here that she realized that this Qin gang leader has such a prominent position in the martial arts world. Not only that, even the commander of the Guan Ning Army and even the emperor rely on him so much !The Chen family was able to get acquainted with such a big person, and she didn't even believe it was not arranged by the heavens!

With him here, why don't I worry about avenging my Chen family's great vendetta?With him here, why can't my Chen family's injustice case be overturned?

After Cao Huachun finished reading, he handed the imperial decree to Qin Shuhuai with both hands, then he chuckled again and said, "Master Qin, we are here this time to read out the emperor's imperial decree. Second, we are also here to congratulate Chief Qin on his wedding. Qin The boss won't drive us home, will he?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, and said, "Duke Cao personally came to congratulate me, I can't ask for more. Please!"

Cao Huachun walked a few steps in, and the moment the two of them turned their backs, the eyes of the four suddenly met.

Two people who were destined to be rivals looked at each other, but neither could read anything from the other's deep eyes.
