I am one year older than Chongzhen

Wang Kun knew that officials in the nearby state capitals must be fawning over Liu Yulie.

He didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable and hurried on as fast as possible. He was exhausted all the way while riding the horse.

After reading the letter from his godfather, battle eunuch Wang Kun suddenly felt energetic.

He gave the task of escorting the prisoners to Diao Dianbao, and he took Xiao Lizi, Diao Debao, Wang Zideng, and Chen Guangfu to order ten royal guards and galloped towards the capital.

Although the northwest wind was howling, Wang Kun, who was full of enthusiasm, ran with the pride of being proud of the spring breeze.

At every post station they stopped, they boarded a good horse personally selected by the post official, and actually ran a speed second only to the 600-mile acceleration.

Xiao Lizi, Diao Debao and the ten Jin Yiwei were in much better shape than Wang Kun. Seeing that Wang Kun was rushing on the road desperately, they all worked hard day and night.

Relatively speaking, Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu should be the strongest among the group in terms of physical strength, riding skills, and combat effectiveness.

Neither of them had the experience of running for hundreds of miles in a day. The bumps were so hard that their bones felt like they were falling apart. They began to admire Wang Kun's hard work.

My heart, which had always been uneasy, felt much more at ease.

They were outsiders. They did not follow Wang Kun closely, but fell slightly behind Jin Yiwei.

Chen Yongfu couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "I didn't expect that the supervisor army and the Jin Yiwei could also suffer such a crime!"

The prince said: "The prince is definitely a ruthless person. I'm afraid we can not only survive, but also achieve great success!"

"Eunuch Wang is in such a hurry just to see the emperor before the Chinese New Year. I can't figure it out. Is there any difference between the Chinese New Year and the Chinese New Year?"

"I don't understand either. The emperor should have seen the battle report a long time ago. What does it matter if the prince goes back early or late?"

"Yes, it's such a cold day. If the prince and the prince are in trouble, who will we rely on in the future?"

"Bah! Bah! Bah! Shut your mouth. The prince is so shrewd, how could he possibly not know what's going on?

Our status is awkward. We must be careful in our words and deeds when we go to the capital! "

"I think it's best for us both to keep our mouths shut, so as not to cause trouble if someone hears our Liaodong accent!"

"It makes sense. There are many adults in the capital in Shandong, and many of them have been exterminated. They must hate us in their hearts. If you don't speak up and go out less, you can really reduce the amount of right and wrong!"

The future was uncertain, and the two of them were thinking a lot. They were silent for less than a moment. "Alas!" Chen Guangfu suddenly let out a long sigh and said:

"Seeing that we are getting closer and closer to the capital, I feel more and more panicked."

Wang Zideng pretended to be relaxed and said: "Why are you panicking? I have never been to the capital, and I want to come and take a look in my dream!"

"What do you think will happen to Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Li Yingyuan?"

"Does that need to be said?"

"Will he really be chopped up?"

"Nine times out of ten!"

"What a sin! How good would it be to be killed on the battlefield? We shouldn't have persuaded them to lay down their weapons and surrender."

Wang Zideng said angrily: "What? Do you regret it? Then unless we both don't surrender, we just die in battle. The question is, are you willing to die?"

Seeing that Wang Zideng's tone was not kind, Chen Guangfu quickly apologized and said with a smile:

"It's better to die than to live. It's because of you that I saved my life. I will always remember it in my heart!"

"We are really close friends of life and death, and we have a long road ahead!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Looking forward, everything will turn around!"

……

On the 30th of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Wang Kun, whose face was chapped, met Emperor Chongzhen again.

This time Wang Kun looked worse than the last time he galloped from Xuanfu to the capital.

He rode horseback for four to five hundred miles every day, changing horses at least ten times a day, just to be able to meet the emperor before the New Year. For this reason, Wang Kun tried his best and risked his life!

Effect of the bar!

Chongzhen was a man of temperament. The moment he saw Wang Kun, he was so moved that he choked in his throat.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission. I have returned with a great victory! Wuwuwu..."

It's true that Wang Kun was excited, but it didn't make him cry. There were a lot of acting elements here.

Emperor Chongzhen really found it useful. He praised him repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good! The companion who is as strong as the sea is really extraordinary!"

The emperor actually walked up to Wang Kun himself, helped Wang Kun to his feet while he was kowtowing, and said: "Give me a seat!"

Wang Chengen, who has quick eyes and quick hands, quickly moved a Jindun himself.

The emperor bestowed a seat on the throne, and only Ge Lao enjoyed this kind of treatment. When will it be the turn of a eunuch?

No matter how powerful the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were, they were just domestic slaves of the emperor. This was not the case in the Song Dynasty where eunuchs could be crowned kings.

Of course, Wang Kun didn't dare to rely on pampering to make him coquettish. He said in fear: "I don't dare, I'm just standing here to answer you!"

"You have been working hard all the way, so you can sit down and talk!"

Of course, Wang Kun spoke next, and Chongzhen listened carefully, asking for details from time to time.

Fortunately, Wang Kun really experienced it firsthand, and fortunately he and Liu Yulie were on the same page.

The main attacking force was, of course, the Xinghe Army. It was only modified that the Xinghe Army attacked Dengzhou all together, and replaced it with a bloody battle to capture Dengzhou with the cooperation of friendly forces.

Wang Kun is very eloquent. To be honest, most eunuchs who can be favored can speak well.

He told the true story of the Dengzhou War in a straightforward manner without any exaggeration.

The intensity of the artillery fire during the Dengzhou offensive and defensive battle was truly unique, and of course Emperor Chongzhen's heart was filled with excitement.

Wang Kun's promise to save Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu's lives was nothing at all.

The emperor not only agreed, but also rewarded the two with hereditary official positions such as the General Banner of Jinyiwei. The two were assigned to Wang Kun.

Chongzhen, who had been on the throne for five years, began to get tired of talking to ministers.

He also knew that some officials whose families were in Denglai, Shandong Province had been seriously harmed by the rebels, and these officials were gnashing their teeth and waiting for revenge.

If we go through the process and want to save Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu's lives, I don't know how much saliva will be spent, and I don't know how many ministers will resist.

It is conceivable that Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others must have written a letter to talk about the lack of political integrity and to warn the emperor's relatives, virtuous ministers and villains.

Who is a wise minister and who is a villain?

Chongzhen, who had been deceived many times, had long refused to listen to such nonsense. As soon as he arbitrarily appointed ministers and supervisors, wouldn't Wang Kun emerge as strong as the sea?

If they were Jinshi and high-ranking ministers, they might have traveled thousands and hundreds of miles in three days in this cold winter, just so that I could hear the whole process of the fierce battle at Denglai earlier.

Oh, yes, there is a stark contrast right now!

The eunuch Wang Kun rushed to the Forbidden City on the 30th of the year. Where is Liu Yulie, the governor of Shandong and Denglai now? How long will it take to meet the saint?

Chongzhen had already seen through it, and of course he would not compare the work enthusiasm of eunuchs with officials who came from the imperial examination.

Liu Yulie would be considered diligent as long as he could return to the capital before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

If the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Cabinet can implement the rewards and punishments for pacifying Denglai by the end of the first month, it will not be regarded as overstaffing.
