serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 206 The Imperial Commissioner Is Here
On the first day of November in the third year of Jianwu, it was already dawn at this time.

As the old saying goes, there must be a sign of great fortune and disaster. At the end of Yinshi, since a rooster in Hefei city uttered its first long crow, and then all the chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock in the city crowed, it has not stopped since then. Still one after another.

"boom!"

A dull loud noise spread throughout the city. Many people felt the soles of their feet trembling. Then there was another loud noise. It seemed that the whole city of Hefei was shaking. The defenders on the city wall fell down one after another amidst the violent shaking.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall of Yongmen City showed horror. They saw a lot of smoke and dust rising from the city wall in the direction of Weiwumen.

The city wall of Weiwumen was blown up by explosives and collapsed more than ten feet. Zhang Cheng suddenly raised his saber and shouted, "Go into the city!"

"kill!"

The [-] troops hiding behind the earth hill surged out and rushed into Hefei City from the collapsed city wall. There were screams and roars one after another, and the two sides began the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

After a stick of incense, the Mighty Gate opened, and half an hour later, the Shiyong Gate opened. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers entered the city wielding knives and guns. A large number of rebels dropped their weapons and took off their armor. Flee from the battlefield and hide in residential areas.

Hefei City is broken!

As Hefei City was breached, there were appalling cheers in the camp.

But inside the big tent of the Chinese Army, it was very quiet.

Jia Hu sat on the handsome seat, holding a letter, looking at it, and smiled to himself.

The imperial envoy who delivered the imperial decree was standing in the center of the big tent holding the box containing the imperial decree.

Eunuch Zhao sat aside, drinking tea silently, without saying a word.

The imperial envoy's face became more and more ugly: "Where did Wang Ziteng go?"

There was silence.

The imperial envoy gritted his teeth: "If you refuse to accept the imperial edict, it will be regarded as treason!"

Jia Hu smiled faintly, and continued to read the letter.

Eunuch Zhao stood up and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the latest decree from the palace is already on its way, so don't declare this one, just treat it as if you haven't arrived at the camp yet."

The imperial envoy was stunned, his chest heaved on the ground, after a while, he managed to breathe properly, and said: "This imperial envoy only knows about enacting decrees, but I don't know anything else, and I don't want to know."

Jia Hu squinted at the imperial envoy who delivered the decree.

Eunuch Zhao's smile was still bright at this time, and he looked at the box in his hand: "You just need to wait in peace."

The imperial envoy gritted his teeth: "You are deceiving the emperor!"

Eunuch Zhao's face sank: "Are you really going to announce the decree?"

The imperial envoy raised his head and replied passionately: "The imperial envoy came here all the way to convey His Majesty's will to the army, so that all soldiers know the fairness and justice of the imperial court."

Eunuch Zhao stared at him closely, then turned to Jia Hu for a long time: "Marshal."

"Ah."

Jia Hu came back to his senses, stuffed the letter into his sleeve, and looked at Eunuch Zhao: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Zhao: "This loyal minister wants to make an edict for the prince."

Jia Hu waved his hand: "Prince Teng is in the wounded barracks. Go out and turn right and keep walking. There are many wounded soldiers around his tent, so it's easy to find."

Eunuch Zhao was startled, as was the imperial envoy, they all looked at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu: "There have been a lot of accidents recently, and you are not qualified to know many things. This commander can only tell you that Wang Ziteng was defeated. Not only did he lose his left hand, but he was also seriously injured. The conditions of his soldiers are very bad now. Stable. Think it over for yourself."

Eunuch Zhao made a serious face: "This is a military camp, and the rules of the officialdom are useless here. Your status as an imperial envoy can't suppress these murderers!"

Hearing what Eunuch Zhao said, the imperial envoy who passed the decree rolled his eyes sharply a few times, and then strode out with the box in his hand.

Jia Hu smiled and said, "Another person trying to catch fame." Then he said to Eunuch Zhao, "Send a team to follow, don't let them be beaten to death."

Eunuch Zhao hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this is not very good."

Jia Hu: "If you don't let the officials and gentlemen of the court know the anger of the soldiers, they will bite the prince to death."

After a pause, "Of course, if His Majesty wants to punish Wang Ziteng, I can help deal with those remnants. You know that I don't like Wang Ziteng."

Eunuch Zhao thought for a moment, and said: "The miscellaneous family will send someone there immediately." After speaking, he hurried out.

Looking at the back of Eunuch Zhao going away, Jia Hu smiled and took out Jia She's letter from his sleeve. Jia She kidnapped Zhen Fu's wife and son and got a lot of important information from Zhen Fu. After the dispute broke out, the Liaodong faction headed by Yongqi and the North Korean faction headed by other princes broke out again, and it reached the point of irreconcilability, and they both wanted to put each other to death.

The Wu Ya family, who has always remained neutral, was involved in this dispute because of Zhen Fu. No matter whether the peace talks succeed or not, they will completely offend one side.

It's intentional to do Xiaosi, no wonder people say "ruthless is the emperor's family", Wu Ya's family almost completely lost their incense for Qianlong, but they still couldn't avoid being suspected and used as spearmen.

Thinking of Wang Ziteng again, Jia Hu shook his head and smiled wryly. This scumbag finally stepped on the ground, not only failed to get benefits from the old emperor, but was put together, and almost died in the chaos.

This time his life was saved, but his title would definitely be taken away, the defeat was too miserable, there were more than 1 left in the [-] army, and the Jiangnan camp was only left with a name.

As for his being captured, it was pure confusion. Except for Yang Kaiwu in the city, who was dead, no one could prove it. The most important thing was that the emperor wanted to use Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he also saved a hand. That letter will kill Xia Shouzhong.

At this time, Lin San's voice came from outside: "Commander, General Xie Qiong is here."

"Please come in." Jia Hu folded the letter and put it in the box on the desk.

Xie Qiong walked in excitedly, and said: "The commander-in-chief really hit the mark. The rebels wanted to break out from the Gongchen Gate, but they were not only defeated, but also captured by the Shaanxi Wei. The army has already entered the city from the north. Go. This battle will soon be over."

Jia Hu shook his head. Street fighting is not only difficult, but also has a very high casualty rate.

The curtain was lifted, and Eunuch Zhao walked in, with a wry smile on his face: "The military doctor said, I won't be able to get out of bed for a month."

Jia Hu smiled: "If you lie down for a month, you will be able to become a respected Qingliu when you go back, and you can be promoted to another position. It is very cost-effective."

Eunuch Zhao waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it. We still have to find a way to deal with those remnant soldiers. They have a lot of resentment in their hearts. They feel that the court has betrayed them. If this continues, something will happen!"

Jia Hu pondered for a moment, then said: "As long as the imperial court dismisses Wang Ziteng from his military post, I can arrange these soldiers."

Before the words were finished, Lin San's voice came from outside the tent: "Marshal, the king of the cabinet is old."

Jia Hu stood up: "Come in, please."

Before he could say a word, Wang Hetang, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked in and congratulated Jia Hu loudly: "The merit of all ages! The merit of all ages!"

Jia Hu clasped his hands together and said, "I entrust the emperor with great blessings, and I rely on the soldiers to do their best!"

Wang Hetang: "Duke Ning is modest." Then he turned to Eunuch Zhao: "His Majesty has received the urgent delivery from Supervisor Zhao, and ordered this pavilion to handle the matter."

Zhao Jianjun: "What about the imperial decree?"

Wang Hetang shook his head: "There is no imperial decree, and there are no official documents from the cabinet and the Ministry of War. Your Majesty appointed this cabinet as an imperial envoy to take full responsibility for this matter and find out the truth. Time is running out. I will go to Chao County immediately to meet Prince Teng, and then go to Jinling. "

Eunuch Zhao glanced at Jia Hu and said, "The situation has changed. Wang Ziteng was defeated, seriously injured, and lost his left hand."
