The Most Powerful Man in the World

While speaking, Zhang Mao suddenly raised his brows and shouted almost instinctively, "Stop!"

Following Zhang Mao's order, he immediately saw the carriage stop.

Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Mao doubtfully, obviously wondering why Zhang Mao suddenly stopped the carriage at this time. After all, they had to be summoned by the Son of Heaven, so they should have rushed to the Forbidden City non-stop at this time.

"grandfather……"

Zhang Mao lifted the curtains on the car and looked outside. At the same time, Zhang Mao solemnly looked at the few people on the side of the road who seemed to be discussing something excitedly.

"Lun'er, get out of the car and have a look. What are those people talking about? Grandpa seems to have heard about a great victory."

Zhang Lun glanced at the few people on the side of the road, just as Zhang Mao said, the words of a great victory could be vaguely heard.

After getting off the carriage, Zhang Lun walked to the side of the road and cupped his hands at those people: "Everyone, I don't know where the great victory you are talking about is the great victory? North or Jiangnan?"

Zhang Lun is dressed in fancy clothes and has received excellent education since he was a child, so his bearing is also very good.

As soon as Zhang Lun opened his mouth, those people were stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Lun nervously, and then slowly said to Zhang Lun: "This noble person doesn't know something, and what I was talking about was not long ago. The Xuanfu Victory just spread before."

"Victory in Xuanfu?"

Zhang Lun was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the man say: "We are guessing what happened to this Xuanfu catastrophe, and we never wanted to disturb the noble!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lun nodded at a few people, then returned to the carriage, Zhang Lun said to Zhang Mao: "Grandpa, just now the grandson went to test the words of those people, what they were talking about was the Xuanfu catastrophe. !"

Raising his brows, Zhang Mao's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. He stroked his beard and said slowly, "Victory at Xuanfu? Could it be that Chu Yi really did heavy damage to Tartar?"

Chu Yi quelled the rebellion of King Ning of Jiangnan, and the army returned and went straight to the border town. Naturally, the purpose was clear to everyone. Even Chu Yi wrote to the emperor, begging the emperor to dispatch the army in the capital to help him set up a big net to deal with the Tartars.

From Zhang Mao's point of view, Chu Yi's move was too crazy, and he wanted to swallow the Tartar in one bite, which was simply unrealistic.

Now, what are you talking about about the victory of Xuanfu? What is Yang Yiqing's ability? Zhang Mao and other old foxes have too sharp eyesight. Naturally, it can be seen that Yang Yiqing is enough to defend the city. It is necessary to count on him to severely damage the Tatars and obtain the so-called victory of Xuanfu. impossible.

Zhang Lun was surprised: "If this is the case, then it can really be called a great victory. I don't know how many of my Ming soldiers were killed and injured in this battle, and how many Tatars were killed and injured!"

There have always been many cases of false reports of military exploits in the army. Zhang Lun subconsciously thought that Chu Yi and Yang Yiqing might have achieved something in the battle against the Tartars, but even if they had achieved something, it would definitely not be a so-called great victory.

Zhang Mao closed his eyes slightly and said, "Enter the palace, everything will be known by then!"

The carriage squeaked to a stop outside the palace gate, and just after getting off the carriage, another carriage stopped, it was Duke Ding Xu Guangzhao.

Xu Guangzhu first bowed to Zhang Mao and entered the palace.

Xu Guangzhao glanced at Zhang Mao and said in a low voice, "Old Prince, I don't know why His Majesty summoned me to wait?"

Zhang Mao chuckled and said, "Your Majesty summoned me, perhaps to announce a major event to us."

Xu Guangzhao became even more puzzled when he heard the words, but Zhang Mao didn't mean to explain.

After a while, Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzhao entered a large hall, and when they entered the hall, they saw Jiao Fang's patriarchs there.

After a group of people greeted each other, just as they were about to discuss, they only heard the voice of the servant from outside the main hall: "Your Majesty is here!"

Zhang Mao and others hurriedly got up and turned to Zhu Houzhao for a week and said, "I'll pay your respects to Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live!"

Zhu Houzhao walked into the hall, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, and said slowly from a high position, "Every Qing family, please stand up without courtesy!"

I saw Zhang Mao and others stand up.

The inner waiter brought the seats, and everyone took their seats under the sign of the emperor.

Looking at the crowd, Zhu Houzhao's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and in the puzzled expressions of Jiao Fang, Zhang Mao and others, he nodded at Gu Dayong.

Gu Dayong walked down the steps and handed a letter to Zhang Mao. After Zhang Mao read it, his heart was full of shock.

The letter spread, but anyone who saw the urgent letter, whether it was Jiao Fang or other cabinet ministers, showed disbelief.

As an old-fashioned old man, Chen Ding was full of surprises and doubts when he saw Chen Ding step forward and say to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, if the old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, he may be sure that all the contents of this letter are true. It's just that Ballsborough was arrested, but Director Chu said that many Tatar nobles and leaders, including Dayan Khan, were arrested, and the old minister really felt that he couldn't believe it was true!"

He frowned slightly, and had to say that Chen Ding's words really made the emperor unhappy, but Zhu Houzhao also knew Chen Ding quite well.

I just heard Zhu Houzhao say in a deep voice, "I believe in Da Compan, Da Compan will never deceive me!"

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and said slowly: "As for whether what is said in this letter is true or false, you don't have to worry, I just need to wait for the news of Xuanfu, Xuanfu is not far from the capital, I believe It won't be long before Yang Yiqing's memorial will arrive."

Everyone's heart moved, just as Zhang Mao said, if the letter that Chu Yi presented to the emperor is true, then this is really a great victory that has not been seen in almost a hundred years. Only this battle will make the emperor Zhu Houzhao famous. If you stay in the history of youth, as long as you don't kill yourself in the future, you will definitely be comparable to Taizu and Chengzu.

Zhu Houzhao saw that all the civil and military people were unwilling to believe the authenticity of this great victory, and he was indeed a little unhappy, but Zhu Houzhao believed in Chu Yi.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, send someone to the Ministry of War to watch, as long as the news of the good news of the Xuanfu comes, get it immediately."

Ru Jiao Fang felt a little uneasy at the moment. Although she hoped that the news was true, it was hard to believe that the news was true. Everyone was caught by Chu Yi, and everyone felt so unreal.

There was only Zhu Houzhao's indifferent expression, and he sat there enjoying tea and waiting for news from the Ministry of War.

Xuanfu's great victory, Chu Yi's letter is naturally not presented together with Xuanfu's good news, but it is also an expedited letter of [-] miles, and the speed of the two is not much different.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

At the same time that Chu Yi's letter arrived in Beijing, the news of the good news of Xuanfu also entered the Ministry of War. The officers of the Ministry of War looked at the good news stupidly, and the first reaction was disbelief.

But soon the palace servants came, and after the servants inquired, the officers of the Ministry of War naturally did not dare to hide anything, and even took out the urgent letter that had just been presented to the servant.

The inner servant found that the news of the good news of Xuanfu had arrived, and he immediately took him to the palace to resume his life.

in the palace.

Zhu Houzhao sat there with a calm expression. For about an hour or so, the hall was silent, and a group of civil and military officials accompanied the emperor to drink tea there and other news.

If there is no news from the Ministry of War, then it is almost certain that the previous so-called good news is false news.

It can be said that the dozen or so important officials present had different thoughts. To be honest, everyone had different feelings about the so-called Xuanfu victory.

Some people hope that this Xuanfu victory really exists, but there are also people who do not want to see this.

In the eyes of very few people, in the course of the war against the Tatars, it would be best if Da Ming could remain undefeated or suffer a little loss.

Everyone knows that this battle was planned by Chu Yi himself and led the army to face the Tatars.

Jiangnan was pacified and the chaos of King Ning subsided. Among them, Chu Yi can be said to be the greatest contributor. Even if there is such a bright pearl as Wang Shouren, it still cannot suppress Chu Yi's brilliance.

Wang Shouren can be described as an outstanding military service this time, but Chu Yi personally arranges it in the middle, even if Wang Shouren is arranged by Chu Yi in advance.

At the beginning, the Chinese and martial arts of the dynasty were naturally unknown, but later, as the rebellion of King Ning was gradually quelled, especially Wang Shouren showed his rare military talent, which made Wang Shouren enter at once. into the public eye.

Wang Shouren can be considered to be of extraordinary background. His father is a court official, and he is also the teacher of Zhu Houzhao in the past, but he can barely be called an imperial teacher.

But even with such an identity background, Wang Shouren's career was not smooth sailing. He was able to emerge when King Ning was in chaos. It can be said that it was all thanks to Chu Yizhi.

Even though his father was a minister, he never asked for an official position in front of the emperor. Instead, Chu Yi single-handedly arranged for Wang Shouren's assignment.

It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of many people, Wang Shouren is Chu Yi's right-hand man, and many people regard Wang Shouren as a lackey of Chu Yi.

The merits made by Wang Shouren are naturally regarded as the merits of Chu Yi.

Chu Yi had already made such a great achievement in pacifying the rebellion against King Ning. Now, as mentioned in the [-]-mile expedited letter, he returned with a great victory. Even the emperor can no longer embarrass Chu Yi.

It is indeed that the achievements made by Chu Yi are too great and amazing.

In that letter, the Tatars added up to nearly [-] troops and horses. Although it was said that the troops were divided into two groups, there were [-] troops in each.

In the past days, even thousands of gangsters would be able to make the roaring chickens and dogs jump around in the border towns, but now the Tartars have dispatched [-] to [-] people at once, and even let the Tartars fight. After arriving under the capital, the Jingying desperately blocked the Tartars from the city and insisted that the Tartars retreat.

Even if there were a lot of losses under the capital, if the Ballsborough part added up, there were tens of thousands of people. If Dayan Khan's [-] people were added, it would be hundreds of thousands. so many people.

The news of Ballsborot's defeat and capture has been sent back to the capital, and Ballsboroth is nothing more, the key is Dayan Khan.

What kind of character Dayan Khan is, even if the opponent is an alien from the grasslands, the Ming Dynasty Chinese military officials have had a lot of dealings with Dayan Khan.

Dayan Khan unified the Tatars and even suppressed the Oaras, becoming a new hegemonic force on the grasslands in one fell swoop.

A tribe that was able to grow from a small tribe, and finally annexed and unified the large and small tribes on the grassland, became the master of the grassland.

Ballsborough is the son of Dayan Khan, and it is reasonable to be calculated by others. The most important thing is Dayan Khan. Such a heroic figure is definitely not so easy to be captured alive.

A burst of hurried footsteps came, and many of the people in the hall felt sleepy. They were suddenly awakened by the footsteps, and at the same time, they subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the hall.

I saw a courtier respectfully holding a memorial and walking quickly into the hall, and then bowed down in front of Zhu Houzhao and said, "The servants pay their respects to Your Majesty, the memorial presented by the Xuanfu is here!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the memorial held in the hands of the servant.Many people's eyes can't wait to see through the memorial to see the contents of the memorial.

Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there and drinking tea, suddenly lit up his eyes, and his eyes fell on the memorial in the hand of the servant.

Since this memorial came from Xuanfu and it was an urgent one, Zhu Houzhao first thought of whether this memorial was the news of the Xuanfu victory presented by Yang Yiqing of Xuanfu.

The victory of Xuanfu was too shocking. Zhu Houzhao naturally trusted Chu Yi [-]%, so he never doubted the contents of the urgent letter submitted by Chu Yi.

But as the emperor, Zhu Houzhao could believe it, but he couldn't ask other people to be as skeptical as he was.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao needed the memorial from the Xuanfu to prove that Chu Yi was not lying about the military situation, but actually achieved the victory written on the [-]-mile rush.

"Hurry up and present it!"

Gu Dayong hurried down the steps, stepped forward quickly, took the expedited memorial from the servant's hand, and then stepped forward and handed the memorial to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao opened the memorial and swept his eyes across ten lines, his face was full of joy, seeing Zhu Houzhao excitedly slapped on the desk table and said, "Okay, okay, I know that Chu Dafan will not deceive me!"

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao excitedly said: "Come here, pass this memorial from the Xuan residence to the Qing family to have a look!"

Gu Dayong personally took the memorial from Zhu Houzhao, and then slowly presented it in front of Zhang Mao, Jiao Fang and several other important officials in the court.

Whether it was Zhang Mao or Jiao Fang, they stared at the memorial one by one, eager to recite all the contents of the memorial.

Zhang Mao squinted his eyes and sighed in his heart. Even if he looked at the memorial, Zhang Mao was still in disbelief.

When his ancestor Zhang Fu was old, he accompanied the Emperor Yingzong on a personal expedition and ended up in the battle of Tumu Fort. As a British government, the existence of the Dinghaishenzhen just disappeared.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Mao has a better understanding of the Tartars. In Zhang Mao's view, the Tartars have many advantages, not to mention the other, the full cavalry alone makes people scratch their heads.

Perhaps during the battle, the Tatars could be injured in one battle, but if you want to surround the Tatar army and force it to land, it is naturally difficult, especially important, even a steppe hero like Dayan Khan has fallen. into the hands of Chu Yi.

Looking at the detailed description in the memorial, even Zhang Mao had to admit that Chu Yi really brought them a great surprise.

Clearly shocked more than happy.

The memorial made a circle in the hands of everyone, and all the figures in the hall bowed their heads slightly, their faces full of surprise or disbelief.

Zhu Houzhao picked up the teacup and drank the tea while observing the expressions of the crowd.It seems to be to see how the people react when the news is confirmed.

When the memorial was returned to Zhu Houzhao's hands again, almost half an hour had passed.

Zhu Houzhao slowly spread out the memorial and placed it on the table, and slowly read out the contents of the memorial.

The whole hall was silent, only Zhu Houzhao's slightly excited voice echoed in the hall: "Everyone has seen the memorial presented by the Qing family and Xuanfu."

Everyone's expressions changed, looking at Zhu Houzhao and the two reports on the victory of Xuanfu on his desk.
