Chapter 541 540 merits and sins?

Author: Guests in Parallel Space

"Prepare a sedan chair and enter the palace."

With the good news from Xuanfu, Yang Bo felt that he was doing it again at this moment.

Although he was hit hard two days ago, especially Sun Bin's defeat and death put him under tremendous pressure.

Not to mention His Majesty and the court officials, even he himself has no confidence in himself and feels unable to serve as the Minister of War.

His Majesty must be allowed to see this good news as soon as possible and to restore his trust in himself.

"Sir, it's so late, Your Majesty should have a rest."

Ge Jin didn't know what he meant, so he hurriedly reminded him.

"Then let's go to Wuyi Palace first and hand it over to the Pavilion Master."

In the past few days, the two cabinet ministers and the Minister of Rites have been staying in the West Garden and are always inquired by His Majesty.

The emperor fell asleep, but the news still had to be sent in, ensuring that His Majesty would know about it as soon as he woke up.

When you get an official position like him, it is only within the emperor's mind to stay or leave.

However, after he got into the sedan chair, he thought more.

The Tartars have already escaped north, and the next thing is to clean up the mess. Those who should be rewarded should be rewarded, and those who should be punished should be punished.

Although the capital city implements night bans at night, it depends on who is walking on the street.

Yang Bo's sedan chair met several waves of patrol officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei and the military officers and soldiers who were patrolling the night. However, when the other party saw the marks on the lanterns in front of the sedan chair, he immediately decisively gave them to both sides of the street, without even the intention of stopping and interrogating them.

Swaying around, the sedan chair soon arrived outside the gate of Xiyuan.

When we arrived here, it was already the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city, so it was naturally impossible to go in without any obstacles.

Yang Bo did not rush to get out of the sedan chair, so naturally his subordinates knocked on the door, woke up the eunuchs on duty, and then reported them.

It is really not easy to open this door.

Fortunately, Yang Bo's identity is unusual. Although the servants guarding the gate were mad, they still had a smile on their faces, and there was no sign of impatience at all.

No surprise, the news that Yang Bo was going to enter Xiyuan finally reached Huang Jin's ears.

"Yang Bo? Why are he here to do so late?"

Huang Jin is old and is not willing to get up if she lies down, let alone be in charge of the matter.

But Yang Bo wants to enter Xiyuan, which is actually a bit unruly.

No matter how big the matter is, can't it be placed tomorrow?

Thinking that something might be a big deal, Huang Jin had to get up, put on his clothes under the service of several eunuchs, and went out to check at the gate of Xiyuan.

But along the way, he was actually still hanging his heart, for fear that Yang Bo would bring great bad news, and that he, the eunuch, would be difficult for him, to deal with it.

Yes, if there is really bad news, can you not wake your Majesty up and tell him?

If he delays major issues, he can't afford it.

Moreover, Emperor Jiajing's temper has been very bad these two days, because the Ming army suffered a great loss this time.

Within half a year, the generals of two towns were killed, from Liaodong to Jizhen.

The night before yesterday, the emperor had been asleep for a long time, but he just couldn't sleep and was pretending to be in his heart.

It's a little better today. If something big happens again, I'm afraid it's tonight

I dare not think, I really dare not think.

Huang Jin tried his best to reach the gate of Xiyuan as fast as possible. The door was not opened. Without the words of him, the great admiral, who would dare to unlock the lock?

"Who is outside the door?"

Huang Jin arrived at the door and asked loudly outside the door.

"The younger one is Changsui by Yang Bo and Yang Shangshu. Who is he?"

Yang Bo knew that the door was not that easy to open, so he did not have a sedan chair, but was waiting for the communication outside.

Soon, a sound came in outside the sedan chair.

"Master, Huang Jinhuang is here."

"Yeah, I got it."

Yang Bo then got up, the curtain of the sedan chair had been gently lifted from outside, and he also crawled out of the sedan chair.

Two lanterns in front shone on the road, and Yang Bo quickly arrived outside the Xiyuan Palace Gate.

"Eunuch Huang, I'm Weiyi."

Yang Bo spoke in the door.

"Mr. Yang, when you come to the palace so late, you will first say whether it is a good or a bad thing. If it is bad news, I advise you to enter the palace tomorrow.

The emperor hasn't had a good rest these two nights. If he disturbs his rest, he will not be able to afford it."

Huang Jin didn't dare to ask anything directly, worried that Yang Bo would kick him the ball to the press, and who would he ask for advice?

It's not as easy as before. After all, it's not easy to deal with war.

However, Yang Bo gave him a good impression, so he only mentioned a few words.

No matter whether Yang Bo can continue to be the Minister of War or not, it is not a bad thing to make a good relationship first.

At this point, there is actually no room for improvement before, and they are all old, so they just want to spend the past few years peacefully.

Yang Bo didn't know what Huang Jin meant, so he hurriedly said, "Good things are great things. I entered the palace this time because I knew that the Majesty was worried about the unhappy war two days ago and did not have a good rest. With good news, he would naturally report it as soon as possible.

If Your Majesty has already rested, then I will submit the report tomorrow. However, the war report will still be handed over to the palace, so I can just send it to Wuyi Palace to Master Xu Ge."

"Good thing? Where did you win the battle?"

When Huang Jin heard that it was a good thing, he became interested and asked.

"The Ma Fang's troops of Xuanfu intercepted the Tatar army north of Pinggu. After a fierce battle, they beheaded more than a thousand levels, robbed three chariots of plundered property, and rescued more than 2,000 people captured."

Yang Bo explained the general content of Ma Fang’s battle report outside the door.

Ma Fang led his army to pursue him all the way. Seeing that the Tartars were in a bad situation, they not only gave up the slow-moving cart, but also the young and strong men and women who were escorted by them and planned to take them back to the grassland as slaves.

The cavalry charges, and the power is something that the people dare to stop.

No one would stay on the main road and wait for trampling by thousands of horses. They ran to both sides of the main road with alertness, leaving the road for the army to pass through.

It was not until the Ming army defeated the Tartars and returned to clean the battlefield that the people hiding on both sides slowly returned and followed the Ming army back.

"Oh, that's a real victory."

Huang Jin was relieved now.

Although he was in the inner court, he had to take charge of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei's report, as long as it was not a secret letter, he would have to go through his hands.

He knew more or less about the things outside.

When he heard that Ma Fang beheaded a thousand levels and rescued the captured people, this victory should be more credible.

At this moment, Huang Jin knew the reason why Yang Bo was so impatient to report the letter.

In fact, he felt that Emperor Jiajing was a little dissatisfied with the progress of the war two days ago.

Although the reasons are complicated, especially when the Governor General of Ji Liao made a major mistake, the Ministry of War is also to blame.

In any case, the Ministry of War failed to predict that the Tartars would be dereliction of duty this time.

The Tartars all fought to the suburbs of the capital, which was even more of a major mistake.

However, the war is still going on, so Emperor Jiajing will certainly not commit the stupid thing of changing generals at the last minute.

If the person is replaced urgently and the war will worsen, the face will be even worse.

With these concerns, I have been tolerant and never send them.

In fact, Huang Jin knew in his heart that as long as the Tartars withdrew from the Great Wall, Jizhen and even the Ministry of War might be held accountable by the emperor.

It's just to see who is in trouble in the end.

Yang Xuan must be unable to escape, it depends on how the emperor decides in the end.

With the victory of the Xuanfu Army, Yang Bo might have been taken away.

"Congratulations to Shangshu Yang. This time the Ministry of War has good command, so there will definitely be rewards from His Majesty."

Huang Jin said happily in the door.

He had already known the North-South attack strategy planned by the Ministry of War two days ago that he might have miscarriage. However, he did not expect that the Ministry of War would be so decisively ordered Ma Fang to intercept him. Ma Fang, the Xuanfu Mansion, was so proactive and dared to advance eastward directly and take the initiative to attack Huang Taiji, the Tatars.

The Ministry of War was not aware of Wei Guangde's letter to Ma Fang.

In fact, Yang Bo was also thinking about this on the road, but he thought that Ma Fang's whistle cavalry had discovered the movements of the Tartars, so he took the initiative to attack.

However, at the entrance of the palace, he naturally would not reveal his own shortcomings.
