Ming Zuo

Chapter 485
"Dog slave, what are you talking about?"

Chongzhen's furious voice echoed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, making all the maids and eunuchs terrified.

Beside him, Wang Chengen didn't even bother to step forward to comfort him.

Because the inner court chief Dang was also shocked by the news brought back by Gao Qiqian.

Standing high and crawling on the ground, his scalp is numb, but he also knows that life and death are at stake.

"My lord, what the slaves said is true. The Dongjiang rebels have indeed been defeated, and Denglai has been recovered."

Chongzhen's eyes were lost, and his thoughts could not be calmed down for a long time.In the depths of his eyes, there was panic.

Gao Qiqian brought back the news that the Dongjiang rebels were defeated and Dengzhou and Laizhou were recovered, but it was not a good thing for Chongzhen.

Chongzhen, who is well versed in tactics, immediately thought of...

Such a big thing, why did I know it last?

Who defeated the Dongjiang rebels?

Who recovered Denglai?

What are civil and military people all over Shandong doing?
Why is such a big thing not played at all?
The weather in the hall was as cold as this warm and cold weather, everyone was silent, waiting for the young emperor with Tianxian to make a decision.

Chongzhen shook for a while, and Wang Chengen came to his senses and hurried forward to support him.

Chongzhen didn't go back, he just fell down on the steps, glaring at Gao Qiqian viciously.

"Slave dog, tell me everything you know. If there is even a little bit of concealment, I will peel your skin and cram your tendons."

Stand high and show your loyalty.

"The servants are loyal to the emperor until death. When they think of someone plotting something wrong, they will come back to warn even if they die."

These words somewhat dispelled Chongzhen's anger.

"Who defeated the Dongjiang Rebellion?"

He has the potential to grow into a big peng, and he can be sent to fight everywhere, so his ability is definitely not bad.When I came back this time, I should have figured it out long ago.

Although the new army has blocked Denglai's contact with the outside world, it doesn't care much about the secrecy of the battle situation.

"My lord, it was Zuo Menggeng, the general of the Dongchang Association who defeated the rebels. The slaves inquired many times, and this person regained Dengzhou in the late autumn of last year, shortly after the defeat of the Guanning Army. Afterwards, he and the rebels were in the same place. There was a big battle in Huang County. The rebellion was defeated, and even Laizhou did not dare to defend, so the two towns were restored."

Chongzhen's evil fire came up again.

"Why didn't the matter of last autumn be reported to the court? Why did I only know about it?"

Gao Qiqian wept and said: "The emperor doesn't know something, so Zuo Menggeng is afraid of plotting something wrong. The servant was ordered by the emperor to go to Shandong. But when he reached Pingyuan County, he was stopped by Zuo Menggeng's subordinates, and he couldn't make it through. It was only when the servants took a detour and went to Linqing that they learned the news."

Chongzhen's eyes became subtle.

"You have been away for so long, and you only came to Linqing?"

After a few months, even Guangdong has arrived.

As a result, this guy was about to run to Linqing, and ran back without going deep into the hinterland of Shandong.

Gao Qiqian was taken aback, wondering if there is something wrong with this master?
There is a bigger matter in front of you, why bother to hold on to your whereabouts?
At critical times, only the eunuch can save the eunuch.

Wang Chengen interrupted at the right time, distracting Chongzhen's attention.

"My lord, why didn't Zuo Menggeng play on such an important matter? Even if Zuo Menggeng is a low-ranking official, where are the other officials in Shandong?"

Chongzhen quickly entered the state, and he didn't know how many conspiracies and tricks flashed in his mind for a while.

"Who is the governor of Shandong?"

"Uh……"

Both Wang Chengen and Gao Qiqian were stunned.

Shandong... now there is no governor.

The previous governor Zhu Dadian was defeated and committed suicide. The court was always in chaos and forgot to re-appoint Shandong governor.

Chongzhen remembered it by himself, slapped his forehead angrily, and continued to ask: "What about the left and right political envoys? Where are the various patrols? What are the prefects and prefects doing?"

Wang Chengen and Gao Qiqian couldn't answer.

Even if you know it, you can't answer it.

They are just eunuchs, if this kind of thing gets involved, they are likely to die faster.

Chongzhen also understood that the question was not human, and began to think about countermeasures.

After a long time, he finally ordered: "Go, tell Mr. Zhou Ge and Mr. Wen Ge that they are here, don't disturb others. Well... and Wang Wanxiang is called."

The three officials soon arrived.

Two court elders, one censor, and a wonderful lineup, all of them don't know what's going on.

On the way, I gave money to the little eunuch, but the little eunuch didn't know.

When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chongzhen had already restored the emperor's prestige, and ordered Wang Chengen to clear out all the idlers before starting the discussion.

"The three lovers know that the Dongjiang rebellion has been defeated, and the Deng and Lai states have been recovered?"

"what?"

Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and Wang Wanxiang stood up in astonishment, all frightened by these words.

Among them, Wang Wanxiang was most concerned.

"Why don't the ministers know?"

Chongzhen looked at him.

"According to what I know, Aiqing lives in Shandong, and has countless relatives and friends. I really don't know?"

This was the purpose of Chongzhen asking him to come too.

As an official from Shandong, after the rebellion in Dongjiang Town, Wang Wanxiang was the most active person in the main battle after seeing his hometown was severely harmed.

It stands to reason that such a person should be very concerned about his hometown.

But looking at it now, it seemed that he had heard what Chongzhen said for the first time.

Wang Wanxiang said honestly: "This is the first time I heard about it."

Chongzhen didn't believe it.

"Ai Qing never sent a letter home?"

Wang Wanxiang said bitterly: "Since the defeat of the official army in Shahe, the capital lost contact with Shandong. I... I haven't heard the local accent for a long time."

Thinking of what Gao Qiqian said before, Chongzhen understood that it seemed that Shandong was really blocked.

Zhou Yanru didn't think too much about it. The news of the Dongjiang rebels' defeat shocked him.

"Your Majesty, there are no soldiers to send now. I don't know where the news of Dongjiang's defeat came from? Did someone lie about the military situation?"

Gao Qiqian's expression changed on the spot.

Zhou, you want to kill our family?

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou Ge, all the news came from the slaves who personally inquired about it. I wonder if there is anything suspicious?"

Seeing Gao Qi's sullen expression, Zhou Yanru thought to himself that it was broken.

Offended the eunuch.

Now he is competing with Wen Tiren for the government, hastily offended an inner court chief, and he might kill himself anytime soon.

"Hehe...hehe...Since Eunuch Gao is going out in person, he must be safe. I am just surprised that the Dongjiang rebels are extremely vicious, but whoever defeated them?"

Zhou Yanru found love in a timely manner, Gao Qiqian's face turned pale, and he followed Chongzhen's order, and told what he had seen and heard again.

Zhou and Wen couldn't care less about fighting, they were all confused by this sudden new situation.

Wang Wanxiang was even more miserable. He was really happy when he thought that his hometown could be saved and the thousands of acres of land in his hometown had been preserved.

"Oh, why is Shandong Wenwu so negligent on such an important matter?"

shuh...

The atmosphere in the hall instantly cooled down a few degrees.

There are smart people present.

Those who are not smart will not get here.

Wang Wanxiang trembled, trying hard to get back together.

"Maybe... maybe the battle situation is critical, Shandong Wenwu..."

Zhou and Wen are in charge of the government, so they have a clearer understanding of the official situation in Shandong.

"Your Majesty, Shandong has not yet appointed a new governor, and there is only Chen Yingyuan left and right. The former Shandong inspector Wang Daoyuan also died at the hands of the rebels, and the group has long been leaderless."

Only then did Chongzhen discover that Shandong had lost control to such an extent.

For a while, the worry was even worse.
