Chapter 739: Fetching Chestnuts (Part 2)

On May 20th, Gong Dongning and Ouyang Ming reunited their armies: On May 22nd, Nang Dongning officially took over Ouyang Ming's hands. Ouyang Ming led 10,000 troops and retreated to Datong Guards Station not far from Yanjing.

; On May 25th, Gong Dongning reorganized his troops and led an army of 120,000 to completely surround Xuantong City; on May 27th, Gong Dongning began to order an attack on the city; on May 26th, Japan's Xuantong City was defeated.

They captured more than 30,000 Tatars and killed more than 9,000 enemies. They captured more than 3,000 horses. However, the Tatar leader Duoyan fled northwestward under the protection of a thousand cavalry. However, when the news came, the government and the public cheered,

The ministers came forward one after another to confer official titles on Gong Dongning, and asked Gong Dongning to offer prisoners at the Meridian Gate to show the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty.

In this way, the war is basically over. Eleven Niang put down the needle and thread in her hands and looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile. Brother Jin will be able to return to Beijing soon.

If the emperor approves Gong Dongning's sacrifice at the Meridian Gate, Brother Jin will definitely follow him back. As for whether he will be stationed outside the city or follow Gong Dongning into the city, that's not sure. But no matter what, it's okay to meet him quietly.

Question. Xu Lingyi was also in a good mood. As he spoke, he sat next to Eleven Niang, looked at the white silk stretched on the embroidery stand, and said: This character screen has been embroidered for many years, why haven't it been embroidered yet?

over

I just embroidered a few stitches when I had time. Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled.

Xu Lingyi just thought it looked familiar and didn't take it to heart. She picked up the half-emptied tea cup that Eleven Niang had drunk and took a sip. She said: In the past, I only thought that Gong Dongning was brave and good at fighting. I didn't expect that this guy was quite clever. He was quite emotional.

Knowing that her son was safe and sound, and that Gong Dongning was his immediate boss, Eleven Niang was naturally very interested in his affairs: how to deal with this matter

Xu Lingyi smiled and said: Duoyan fled to the northwest, Gong Dongning did not order to pursue the victory, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Sichuan Dusi stationed in Ganzhou, Gong Dongning did not order an encirclement and suppression, clearly leaving Ouyang Ming to clean up the mess. It can be seen that in speculation

In this regard, he did a good job. I was originally worried that he would not adapt to Yanjing, but now it seems that I was too worried. He said, thinking of King Yong. They cultivated a silver mine together, and Gong Dongning entered

King Yong of Jing will also pay more attention to him, right? As well as the candidate for the general army of Guizhou, King Yong will definitely bsp; Gong Dongning is like this, he can be regarded as a late bloomer, right? Eleven Niang said with a smile, it shows that people's opportunities are also very important.

Xu Lingyi was about to tell her a few military examples when a young boy ran in: Mr. Hou, Xuantongfu is urgent for eight hundred miles.

Everyone in the outer courtyard knew that Brother Jin was following Gong Dongning and was rushing to Xuantong Mansion for eight hundred miles. Naturally, they did not dare to stay for a moment.

Xu Lingyi also always paid attention to Xuantong's battle. After hearing this, he immediately said: Take it over. He sat there and started reading.

Eleven Niang came over.

But after a quick glance, her face changed drastically and she said in a voiceless voice: What does this mean? The smile also disappeared from Xu Lingyi's face, and his expression became solemn.

Seeing that something was not right, the boy hurriedly retreated quietly. Yanxiang and others looked at each other and winked at each other before retreating.

The room became quiet.

Apparently, the emperor wanted Brother Jin to take this opportunity to earn some military merit. Xu Lingyi's sigh was clearly audible, but this gesture was too big, and I'm afraid Brother Jin couldn't bear it.

Gong Dongning wrote in the letter that the imperial guard had obtained the emperor's secret decree and asked him to appoint Brother Jin as a co-inspector and to work with Ouyang Ming who was stationed at Datong Guards Station to encircle and suppress Duoyan who fled westward.

The overall situation has been decided. There are the forces of the Sichuan Governor and the Ganzhou Guards in the west. Duoyan only has a thousand troops at his side, but Ouyang Ming only has ten thousand troops. Moreover, as the leader of the Tatars, Duoyan will not be killed or killed.

Being captured is of great significance. It can be a head start. Ouyang Ming can be said to be okay, after all, he is a general who conquered the west. Brother Jin, let alone leading an army, has not even been on the battlefield from the beginning of the war to now.

He is just a scribe next to Gong Dongning. Neither his experience nor qualifications are enough to be Ouyang Ming's deputy.

This is simply a naked attempt to grab credit.

Even people who don't understand marching formations will know what's going on, not to mention the battle-experienced generals in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the scheming and powerful ministers in the imperial temple.

Those censors are not vegetarians

If he had just pretended to be trying to grab military glory from the beginning, he would certainly be dissatisfied with the soldiers who fought bloody battles. But at least the despicable sincerity was not like now. The despicable hypocrisy was even more despicable.

Once his character is doubted, how can Brother Jin gain a foothold in the military camp? Even if he becomes the commander-in-chief one day, how will he be able to command his soldiers?

Is the Emperor harming Brother Jin or is he trying to promote Brother Jin? The corners of Eleven Niang's mouth were filled with bitterness. Since it is a secret decree, can you pretend that you don't know, and you are not saying that the general will be away and you will not give the order?

It's unlikely that Xu Lingyi shook his head. Gong Dongning is about to enter Beijing. He will not make the emperor unhappy at this critical moment. He wrote to me just to inform me and let me know the reason.

give me a treat

In other words, Gong Dongning also feels that this is a bit inappropriate, Eleven Niang said in a deep voice.

Xu Lingyi said nothing.

Eleven Niang suddenly became irritable: Isn't there any other way? We can't just watch Brother Jin and follow Ouyang Ming to the northwest. Xu Lingyi thought for a while and said: You go to Princess Dujiang

Let's talk to the princess and see if she can persuade the emperor. Since it is a secret decree, it will make sense to appoint someone else when the time comes. He also said, I will write a letter to Gong Dongning and ask him to delay for two days. Eleven Niang also said

I thought it was good, and even thought that if the princess couldn't explain it, I would go to the palace to ask the queen. In short, I couldn't let Brother Jin follow me.

Unexpectedly, when she saw the princess, the princess smiled and said: I knew my aunt would come to see me, with a little pride in her smile.

Eleven Niang was shocked: Could it be a princess?

The third emperor brother said that his uncle was thinking about the eternal name. We should take care of it regardless of Brother Jin. The princess nodded, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. When the emperor brother told the emperor, the emperor also

I didn’t agree to let Brother Jin be the co-president, saying that he was young, so he only wanted to be a member of a hundred households. I also went to the palace to ask my mother, who told the emperor in person, and the emperor agreed. After saying that, she helped Eleven

My mother's aunt came just in time. The war was not going well in the past few days, and the palace was also very nervous. Now that the important matter has been decided, the queen mother and the empress breathed a sigh of relief, and called the three emperors' wives and me into the palace to talk. We went into the palace together.

, my aunt can also say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen, and can also meet the Third Emperor's Sister-in-law. Speaking of which, it was the Third Emperor's Sister-in-law who asked me to enter the palace to ask my mother to ask the Emperor. Otherwise, how would we know this?

Knowing that it was not the emperor's intention, a big stone fell in Eleven Niang's heart. But looking at Princess Jiangdu's excited face, she knew that she could not say anything more at this time, whether it was King Yong, Princess Jiangdu, or even

It's Princess Yong. She has good intentions. The last time she refused to let Brother Jin return to Yanjing, she poured cold water on Prince Yong and Princess Jiangdu. If she refuses again, it will inevitably make them feel chilly.

Fortunately, I was dressed neatly today. Eleventh Niang said with a smile. She thanked Princess Jiangdu and entered the palace with her.

The Empress Dowager did not mention the matter of speaking for Brother Jin. Instead, she asked about his marriage: He is not young anymore, why didn’t you make any noise? The last time you discussed the marriage of the Seventh Prince, I saw Hanlin Academy

The daughter of the lecturer Kong Wenjie is pretty good, and she is about the same age as brother Jin. One day I will recruit her into the palace, and you can take a look.

I don’t know how old Miss Kong is this year. Eleven Niang said with a smile, we showed brother Jin how to get married. He said it would be three or four years apart.

In this way, Brother Jin can get married a few years later.

That's it. The Queen Mother is a little disappointed. Miss Kong and Brother Jin are the same age.

Queen Sister Fang was also present. She glanced at Eleven Niang with a smile and said: Queen Mother, in this case, tell Miss Kong to the Eighth Emperor Uncle. The Eighth Emperor's Uncle has also reached the age of marriage.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother slightly frowned and told Huang Xianying: Invite Princess Song to come tomorrow to see what she means.

Huang Xianying responded respectfully and glanced at Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could it be that everyone thinks this girl is good, but because she is stubborn, she has lost a good marriage?

She thanked the Queen Mother somewhat uneasily.

"Brother Jin is from my mother's family," the Queen Mother said with a disapproving smile. "I will naturally take his matter to heart." Then she asked about the Queen Mother's health.

Everyone talked about their daily routine, and Eleven Niang saw that it was getting late and stood up to leave.

Princess Jiangdu is also going back home.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother personally sent them to the Nuan Pavilion, while Ying Xianying took them to the palace gate.

Eleven Niang first sent Princess Jiangdu off. Then she said goodbye to Huang Xianying and asked implicitly about Miss Kong: Did I do something inappropriate?

The Queen Mother wholeheartedly wants to be a matchmaker for Brother Jin. Huang Xianying said with a smile. She looked good at Miss Kong and used the excuse that Miss Kong was young and planned to leave it to the Sixth Young Master. She said and laughed, but since Mrs. Yongpinghou said

It is best for the Sixth Young Master to find someone who is three or four years younger than the Sixth Young Master. The Queen Mother also has a clue in her heart, and she will definitely find someone who will satisfy Madam Yongpinghou in the future.

The eleventh mother is ashamed.

He also asked his aunt to explain a few words in front of the Queen Mother, and she saluted Huang Xianying.

Mrs. Yongpinghou doesn’t need to take it to heart. Huang Xianying said with a smile. The Queen Mother feels pain to the Sixth Young Master to the core.

After all, the palace gate was not the place to talk, so Eleven Niang said a few words of humility and returned to the lotus.

Not to mention Princess Jiangdu, even the Queen Mother, it won't work.

She told Xu Lingyi about her entry into the palace.

The emperor was very filial to the Queen Mother. Xu Lingyi thought for a long time and said: I will meet Mr. Chen Ge tomorrow to see if there can be any improvement.

It can only be the
