At this moment, an eunuch suddenly came in from outside, holding a press conference in both hands and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Xingguo's report has arrived."

If it is a general memorial, after arriving in the capital, we will first go to the Tongzhengsi Department, which will be classified by the Tongzhengsi Department and then sent to the cabinet. The cabinet will make every effort to write and then send it to the Silijian. The eunuchs of the Silijian will review it. If the emperor is diligent, then let the emperor see if it is to decide whether to use a seal or to print it back. If the emperor is not diligent, then the Silijian will use a seal or to print it back directly.

However, Duke Xingguo’s memorials did not follow this process and were delivered directly to the palace.

At this time, when Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhang Mingwei's report, he immediately put down everything and hurriedly started to look first.

After reading it, he was a little stunned and did not speak immediately.

This surprised Wang Chengen who was watching from the side, because in the past, Emperor Chongzhen would be happy or something else every time Duke Xingguo reported it, rather than being stunned.

Therefore, he was a little curious and didn't know what the Duke of the State said?

After waiting for a while, he heard Emperor Chongzhen mutter to himself: "It's not my intention to be a marquis, I hope the Haibo will be peaceful! Are you also worried?"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he was stunned again. Just as he was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "You can take a look!"

So, Wang Chengen stopped talking and quickly started to look.

After seeing this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that after Duke Xingguo took over Wuchang Prefecture, the vanguard who pursued Zhang Xianzhong was defeated. Duke Xingguo submitted a memorial to explain his handling results, which was considered a memorial to apologize.

Behind this memorial, there was also a page of letters, which was the thought of Duke Xingguo, that is, he took responsibility and took over the pensions for the casualties. He neither severely punished the soldiers to lose their morale, nor did he easily punish the soldiers. The reason for doing this was that he led his troops to quell these rebellions was for peace in the world, not for personal glory and wealth.

Regarding this, he ended with a poem: I don’t want to be a marquis, I hope the sea waves will be peaceful!

After reading it, Wang Chengen thought for a moment and understood the past and guessed why Emperor Chongzhen reacted like this. After a sudden change, he had an idea. He carefully placed the memorial and the letters inside on the imperial desk with both hands, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the 'I don't want to be a marquis, I hope the Haibo is peaceful' was written by Qi Jiguang during the Jiajing period. I thought that this must be the true intention of the Duke of the State!"

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious when he heard this, so he turned to look at him.

This poem by Qi Jiguang is the most famous in later generations, but he is not a poet, but a martial artist, and is not far from this dynasty. Not to mention, poetry like Qi Jiguang was not popular in the late Ming Dynasty, which was a corrupt person.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had never heard of it, but Wang Chengen knew it.

At this time, Wang Chengen had an idea in his mind because he was recommended by Duke Xingguo. It can be said that Duke Xingguo is sharing honor and disgrace, so he naturally wants to speak for Duke Xingguo and eliminate bad things that may affect Duke Xingguo.

He heard him say to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live, think about it. Isn't Mr. Hu working hard on his daily life to revive the Ming Dynasty. His biggest wish is to spread scientific and technological knowledge, so that the Ming Dynasty can stand on the top of the world, and no longer be bullied by barbarians as in history! And Mr. Hu's talent also proves the possibility of this matter..."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and his face looked a little better unconsciously.

If he wants to think about it from the perspective of Zhang Mingwei's concern, he will feel uncomfortable. It may be nothing once, and it may be nothing twice, but if there are too many times, there may be problems.

"...If I evaluate Mr. I use the past practice to evaluate him, even if he is still innocent now, he will be rewarded in the end!" Wang Chengen secretly looked at Emperor Chongzhen's face and continued, "No matter what the teacher has proved in his strategy against Liao, the formula of cement and glass, or leading troops to suppress the rebellion, it is an extraordinary achievement. Moreover, in the future, there will only be more similar things..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but nodded again. He sighed in his heart: Who said it was not? The teacher has not said that he has more than four hundred years of knowledge, but he is still dedicated to serving the country and the people, without hiding his own personalities at all. He still doesn't know how many contributions he will make when he looks back!

Thinking of this, although he was no longer feeling uncomfortable, he still asked Wang Chengen: "But I always have to do something, right? Otherwise, how could I feel sorry for it?"

Originally, he wanted to say that if he made merit and did not reward him, would others not actively serve the court when they saw it? But when he looked back, who could have the ability of a gentleman?

No one has the ability to help him achieve the trouble of being rewarded with no rewards!

When Wang Chengen heard this, he smiled and replied, "Hasn't Master Long done a lot? In the world, there is one who can treat Duke Xing like Duke Xing? Princess Kunxing has always been with Duke Xing! I know that Princess Kunxing is the most beloved daughter of Duke Xing. I gave all this daughter. According to folk sayings, the gentleman is also half of the son of Duke Xing! Isn't this a kiss?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

He admired himself a little. At the beginning, he made a quick decision and made this decision. Now it seems that even Wang Chengen, the servant, agrees very much. It seems that he did it right!

He was thinking, and then Wang Chengen continued, "I think that since Long Live Knows Mr.'s wish, he will satisfy his wish. This is the greatest reward for him. Otherwise, if the gentleman fails to fulfill his wish, wouldn't he have regrets when he comes here once! This is definitely not what he wants."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but murmur again: "It's not my intention to be a marquis, I hope the sea will be peaceful!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he knew it even more, and quickly said, "It is not an easy thing to achieve Mr.'s wish. Not to mention anything else, Mr. often says that there are some things about his teammates. Just like this time, among these memorials that want to be king, some people may not be able to show their goodness. They cannot directly overthrow the Duke, so they use this roundabout way to make the Duke live in their hearts and slowly take it. This is their sinisterness!"

With a "bang", Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be furious and immediately slapped the table and shouted sternly, "Write the names of these people on the screen. No matter what they think, if I don't deal with them, I will feel angry!"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen said that he didn't care about it this time. Who among these people is really sinister, or is it just trying to flatter Xingguo, and they deserve it. Let them submit such a memorial!

At this time, he continued to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "Sir, help the Emperor to revive the Ming Dynasty and let the Ming Dynasty stand on the top of the world. If you want to achieve such a great achievement that is unprecedented and unparalleled, and make the wise kings of all dynasties as ashamed of, I don't know how many people will offend. They will definitely think about destroying this matter. If they don't work openly, they will come secretly. In short, all kinds of practices will come."

Speaking of this, he sneered: "But they don't know the origin of the gentleman, and they don't know the position of the gentleman in the heart of the emperor. This will destiny that their sinister behavior will not succeed!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately laughed, stroking his palm and laughed, "Haha, even if I say it, saying that Duke Xingguo suddenly appeared and fell in front of me, they would not believe it."

Wang Chengen clearly saw that Emperor Chongzhen was in a much better mood.

So he told Emperor Chongzhen again: "This time, why not justify what Mr. Mr. said. Isn't he going to take over the pensions of the casualties? Then give more money! Anyway, what the Duke wants, if the Duke agrees, he can do things with peace of mind without worrying about anything else. This is the greatest support for Mr. Mr. and it is enough to let Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately stroked his hands and said, "It's reasonable for the great companion to say this. I will never treat it as a sir, working hard day and night outside, and serving the country and the people..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he could not say that word, so he quickly changed his words: "Hold the sir! What's wrong, I have to make the sir feel at ease!"

After saying that, he pondered for a moment, then closed his smile and said seriously: "I'm going to write an order, and it's inconvenient to contact me. You can do everything first and then report it to me!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he was a little stunned, and the power was greatly increased.

Including the appointment of Zheng Fusong as the deputy general who led the Denglai Naval Division, etc., they had to report to the capital first. Now, the Duke can make a decision directly for similar matters.

Although Emperor Chongzhen would definitely agree before, it is still different to give such an order directly. It can be said that this is a more trustworthy act than to confer a title to the Duke of the State.

If the outer court knows this order, I am afraid that many people will object!

…………………

As Wang Chengen expected, when Zhang Mingwei's memorial and Emperor Chongzhen's decree were announced, it caused a stir in the court.

Many people reported to the press that since Duke Xingguo had lost the battle, he should be punished. Why should he give him greater power? And such excessive power!

Of course, some people defended Zhang Mingwei, saying that the defeat was the vanguard general underestimating the enemy, and the Duke of the State settled the thieves in Wuchang Prefecture. There was also Duke of the State far away from Jiangnan. If everything was reported to the capital, it would be a waste of time to go back and forth.

In the court, it was rare to argue about Duke Xingguo. In the middle, there was naturally a lot of stimulation from Emperor Chongzhen's will, which would make some people even more desperate!
