Chapter 1166 Another Great Victory

"What? Oops!" Yang Shiqi stood up suddenly in shock, and he couldn't help but talk loudly, but he forgot that he was still a wounded number. The pain was so severe that his legs went limp, and he couldn't help buttocks Sit down, cover your cheeks and get up.

The Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said with concern: "The first assistant belongs to the country, so you must take care..."

Yang Shiqi waved his hand, signaling him not to talk nonsense, and it took him a while to recover, and asked angrily: "What the hell is the Tabu River? Isn't Wang Xian in Dawang City? Why did he run there again?"

"Looking back, the Tabu River is a big river [-] miles north of the Great King's City. It is the only way for the Tatars to withdraw their troops." I just did my homework, otherwise the devil would know what kind of river it is!

Yang Shiqi took the ice pack from the attendant, spread it on his battered old face, and signaled the Minister of War to continue.

"As for Wang Xian's army, it turned out that the army that reinforced the Great King's City was just a partial division. He expected that Arutai would be scared away, so he took the main force to set up an ambush on the Tabu River, and in the end he really stopped Arutai. , when they were crossing the river, they attacked at halfway, with no more than [-] casualties, more than [-] enemies were killed, Alutai's eldest son Shi Niegan was captured, and a large number of horses were captured. This is really an unexpected victory..."

The Minister of the Ministry of War described in detail what he had learned, and at the end he couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect it to be like this, and it made me wait for yesterday for nothing."

Hearing that Wang Xian killed half of the elite Tatars with negligible damage, Yang Shiqi's expression was extremely exciting, and he felt a burst of fire inside, and half of his gums were sore and numb, and he got angry in the blink of an eye.

Regardless of the pain in his mouth, Yang Shiqi supported the edge of the table and got up, tremblingly said: "Hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, the old man is going to the palace to meet the saint!"

For a split second, everyone felt in a trance that Mr. Shoufu suddenly aged ten years.

.

Yang Shiqi's sedan chair took to the street, the streets were still full of gongs, drums, and firecrackers, and the spontaneous celebrations of the common people became more and more vigorous. Even lion gongs, drums, and stilt dry boats were moved out, and they paraded joyfully on the street to celebrate.This excitement is not only far better than yesterday, it is even better than the Lantern Festival Carnival.

Yang Shiqi was sitting in the sedan chair with a dark face, and he knew that he had a lot of credit for it.If there was no obliteration of Wang Xian's achievements yesterday, the common people would not have the loss of the collapse of the hero and the vain hope. Then after learning the news of today's great victory, they would only take it for granted, instead of being lost like now. The joy of being overwhelmed, I must vent my disappointment and frustration yesterday.

Similarly, Wang Xian's image also became taller and taller under this first suppression and then promotion!
The disappointment and embarrassment of the people in the city yesterday seemed to have all been transferred to the heart of Mr. Shoufu.Regarding my own painstaking calculations, who expected to fulfill Wang Xian's higher reputation, who is as persevering as Yang Shiqi, he couldn't help but secretly lamented, "Could it be that Wang Xian really has divine help, and I can't beat him in Beijing? That's all, why is this old man shooting himself in the foot when he's not in Beijing? '

Sitting in the spacious and transparent sedan chair, Yang Shiqi felt that it was difficult to breathe. He knew that it was not only because of the physical pain, but also because of the boundless pressure from Duke Zhen.

'We must make up our minds. Yang Shiqi clenched his fists tightly, his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, his old face with a bruised nose and swollen face looked extremely ferocious, "For the country to get rid of this serious trouble, why should I cherish this body?" ! '

.

Zhu Gaochi didn't know that his army had won another game until now.

Speaking of yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor was in high spirits every happy event, so he wanted to do something he loved to celebrate.Emperor Hongxi was diligent and caring for the people, frugal and frugal, he was a benevolent monarch, but he also suffered from widowhood. Otherwise, how would he have had more than ten or twenty daughters?It's just that he has been in poor health in recent years, fat and weak, and the imperial physician is chattering around, His Majesty the Emperor has not known the taste of meat for three months.

Last night, taking advantage of his joy, the emperor finally broke the precept. In order to enjoy himself, he even took the red pills. After a hearty and hearty chat, he felt a little uncomfortable in his body in the second half of the night, and his forehead burst into night sweats, but He didn't want to let the imperial doctor come to see him, so he didn't fall into a drowsy sleep until dawn.

Yang Pu, the bachelor on duty, stood anxiously outside the Qianqing palace bedroom, and he had been waiting for an hour with the military newspaper.It was easy to see the old eunuch Zhang Cheng tiptoeing out of the palace, he hurried up to meet him, bowed his hands to Zhang Cheng, and asked in a low voice: "Has the emperor not got up yet?"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly returned the salute to the scholar, and said in a low voice: "Master Yang, please go back. The emperor has worked hard for the country, and finally got a good night's sleep. If there is something important, can't we talk about it after the emperor gets up?"

How could Yang Pu be so easy to fool, he frowned and said: "Eunuch Zhang, could it be that the emperor's dragon body is slightly ill?"

"How can there be!" Zhang Cheng waved his hands again and again. If these senior scholars know that the emperor broke the precept last night, took medicine, and played a big game... the emperor will be said a few words at most, and the board will still fall On them slaves. "The emperor is doing well, but he lacks sleep and needs to make up for it."

Yang Pu already understood everything, but he was not as strong as Yang Shiqi, he said earnestly: "Eunuch Zhang, you are an old man by the emperor's side, I want to persuade the emperor to take care of the dragon's body." Zhang Cheng hurriedly responded, Yang Pu Sighing, he handed the military report to Zhang Cheng and said, "This is a good report from the Ministry of War. Please forward it to the emperor as soon as possible." Because it is a good report, there is no need to make the emperor angry.

"Master Yang, don't worry, when the emperor comes, this old slave will report it quickly." Zhang Cheng took the military newspaper with both hands, and watched Yang Pu leave.

When Yang Pu went out, he met Yang Shiqi coming in. Seeing his swollen face as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, Yang Pu couldn't help laughing to himself, and said politely: "Master Shou Fu is not at home to recuperate, why not?" To insist on working hard for the country is really lamentable."

Among the four academicians in the cabinet, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi belong to the anti-king, Yang Pu belongs to the prince, and there is a small transparent Huang Huai who is considered neutral.On weekdays, the two Yang joined hands and overwhelmed Yi Yang so much that he couldn't lift his head. Naturally, the two sides have long been at odds with each other, but since we are all big shots, the superficial politeness can still be maintained.

However, Yang Shiqi has been suffering from bad luck since yesterday, and his stomach is full of evil fire. Hearing Yang Pu's sarcasm greeting, he couldn't suppress the fire immediately, and said with a sneer: "Brother Hongji is always in good spirits when there are happy events, just be careful." Don't let extreme joy beget sorrow."

Yang Pu was stunned for a moment, and realized that this guy's condition was not right today, so he stopped arguing with him and said: "The emperor hasn't gotten up yet, the first assistant is afraid that the trip will be in vain, so let's go home and recuperate at ease."

"If the emperor doesn't see you, it doesn't mean he doesn't see me." Yang Shiqi snorted, his mouth hurts today, and it's not suitable for a long fight, so he ignored Yang Pu and walked away.

.

Yang Shiqi entered the dormitory on fire, Zhang Cheng hurriedly greeted him, bowed to greet him and said, "Senior assistant..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Shiqi's rude raising of his hand: "The old man has something urgent to tell me, father-in-law, please report!"

"The emperor hasn't got up yet..." Zhang Cheng wanted to tell Yang Shiqi what he did to Yang Pu.

Yang Shiqi didn't like this, interrupted Zhang Cheng again, and said loudly: "Then quickly wake up the emperor!"

In the dormitory, Zhu Gaochi was in a shallow sleep, but when he heard the yelling outside, he woke up suddenly and turned over with difficulty.

An eunuch heard movement on the dragon bed, hurried over, bowed and asked, "Is the emperor going to get up?"

"Hey..." Only Emperor Hongxi let out a long sigh.

The eunuch was taken aback, thinking that something happened to the emperor, he quickly asked: "Does the emperor feel that he is not feeling well, why don't you call the imperial physician to take a look?"

Zhu Gaochi just felt dizzy and his limbs were weak. When he heard that he was going to call the imperial doctor, he immediately woke up.I thought to myself, if I let those guys know what I did last night, they will definitely persuade me again and again. It's really a headache, it's better to be rare.He waved his hands and said, "I'm fine, what's going on outside?"

The eunuch hurriedly went out to check, and reported in a blink of an eye: "Report to the emperor, Yang Shoufu asks to see you."

'Could it be that the old Shoufu heard something and came to persuade me? Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, thinking that I should be more careful in doing that in the future.For Yang Shiqi's request to see him, Zhu Gaochi refused in his heart, but he still didn't dare to see him... After all, Emperor Hongxi was not a faint king, so he knew that the old Chief Assistant must have something important to come to ask for an audience.

As soon as Yang Shiqi came in, he saw that the emperor's eyes were darkened and his face was pale, so he knew what he had done last night, so he couldn't help but sighed: "Your Majesty, be careful..."

"Hehe..." Emperor Hongxi smiled embarrassedly. Seeing that Yang Shiqi didn't intend to investigate further, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and changed the subject: "The chief assistant didn't come here just to persuade the widow, did he?"

"Yes." Yang Shiqi presented the military report he got from Zhang Cheng to the emperor with both hands, and said, "Today I received another victory report from the front line. Wang Xian led his army to a great victory at the Tabu River, annihilating [-] Tatar cavalry and taking prisoners. Arutai's eldest son lost Nirvana!"

"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed at first, then surprised, and didn't answer the military report. He just looked at Yang Shiqi and asked, "How about our army's losses?"

"Insignificant." Yang Shiqi sighed: "In this battle, Lord Zhen retaliated with an eye for an eye, and also used the method of half-crossing to attack him. He avenged the one arrow at the Tolu River back then. His martial arts went straight to the late emperor, and his prestige is already shocking!"

Zhu Gaochi's expression became more and more tense, and he could no longer see any joy.He didn't care about putting on a show, and asked quickly: "Can this military newspaper be produced in the same way?"

Yang Shiqi shook his head and sighed, "You can't do the same thing twice, or it will be self-defeating, and the court will lose the support of the people."

"Ah..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a while in shock, Fang looked at Yang Shiqi for help, and asked in a trembling voice: "What can I do?"
