The rebellion of She Chongming was put down, which also made Fang Congzhe breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Fang Congzhe was actually worried that the rebellion of She Chongming would trigger a large and lasting war, which would add a lot of financial pressure to the court and would easily give his political enemies a legitimate.

After all, Fang Congzhe himself had to admit that since his son ascended the throne today, he had a severe blow to the gentry, especially the gentry in Jiangnan, which had caused dissatisfaction among many scholars and officials.

Fang Congzhe was worried that once the rebellion in the southwest was out of control, many scholars and officials who had not dared to cause trouble began to cause trouble and eventually overthrow the entire Ming court.

But Fang Congzhe did not expect that Yuan Keli, Xu Keqiu, Zhu Xieyuan and others would quell the rebellion in such a short time.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe's worries naturally disappeared.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe was more confident that the destiny of heaven and the hearts of the people were indeed on his side, so these rebellions were put down so quickly. The new policies implemented by him and the emperor did not change the Ming Dynasty in a bad direction.

In short, the quellation of She Chongming's rebellion increased a lot of confidence, Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet who followed the emperor to attack the scholars and officials in the world.

Therefore, after Fang Congzhe saw the memorial from Yanshenggong, Shandong, his first reaction was that he felt that Kong Zhenning was quite ignorant of politeness, and he threw the memorial to the case with anger: "This Yanshenggong! I advised the emperor to issue an order to let him express his attitude, to give him a chance to express his loyalty to the emperor. Do he really don't know what I mean or is it false, and because I, the Emperor of Ming, is the Emperor of Han, has a friendship with Han people and officials, and also relies on the respect of Confucianism in the country, and do not take Your Majesty seriously or the court seriously?!"

"What memorial made Yuan Fu so angry?! He actually threw the table!"

Zhu Youxiao happened to come in at this time.

Fang Congzhe was not able to hide it at this time, so he had to hand over the memorial: "Your Majesty, you are from Shandong. This Yan Shenggong is a confused man. He actually said that Kong Wen has always had noble character and has the legacy of a saint, and it is impossible to slander the king and father. It is all caused by the frame-breaking of the slaves. Therefore, he also avenged your majesty, and even asked the court to return Li Gui to the Kong family to let him clean up the family tradition."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and took Kong Zhenning's memorial from Fang Congzhe.

After reading it, Zhu Youxiao was not angry, but just smiled faintly and asked, "Why did the cabinet send this memorial to the Political Affairs Hall now?"

"It must be because of the high military affairs recently that the cabinet did not think this matter was important, so it delayed a little."

Fang Congzhe replied.

"It doesn't matter? This is all an order to me. It seems that the Ming Dynasty has become his Kong family. If you don't say such a ruthless word to me earlier, how long will it be delayed?!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted sternly.

"Have your majesty calm down!"

Fang Congzhe immediately crawled on the ground and replied, "This Kong family does not have His Majesty in their eyes. It is a crime that deserves death! But this Yansheng Gonggong Mansion is no more than the nobles of ordinary families. They are descendants of saints and have always been treated by many Confucian scholars. It is also related to the style of saints. Therefore, the court officials dare not deal with this matter without authorization. They also know that Your Majesty, you are busy with military affairs and do not dare to disturb Your Majesty's mood with this matter, so they dare not report it immediately."

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything after hearing Fang Congzhe said this.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao asked: "What's the war in Liaodong now? Sun Chuanting and my guard battalion's 1,000th headquarters will be won."

Fang Congzhe was shocked after hearing this and said to himself: "Your Majesty is going to directly deploy troops to the Kong family? If the 1,000th headquarters of the Guards Battalion is in Liaodong, it will be transferred back and then transferred to Shandong?"

Fang Congzhe knew that the Yulin Guards at the 1000th headquarters of the Guards camp were all personal soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor. Unlike ordinary officials who do not need cultural training, Yulin Guards were instilled with the idea of ​​absolute loyalty to the emperor since they were trained. Just like students worshipping Confucius in school and calling Confucius the most sage teacher, during the training of Yulin Guards, they would worship the emperor's statue, and they would learn from the time they learned that obeying any orders of the emperor as their duty.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe knew that the emperor suddenly asked about the situation of the Guards, and he must have the Guards do something for him that he would do something to do the world.

For a moment, Fang Congzhe didn't know what to say.

But Fang Congzhe did not object to Zhu Youxiao's idea of ​​doing this.

Because according to the Ming system, the emperor had the final say in the world, and everyone must be loyal to the emperor, and Fang Congzhe was the same. Being loyal to His Majesty's orders was his only principle now, and he could not have asked the descendants of the saint to stop the emperor.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe only replied truthfully: "Thank you, there is no new report from Liaodong yet."

Zhu Youxiao said "hmm" and didn't say anything anymore, just looked at the sunlight outside the window.

...

Liaodong.

Because Nurhaci also understood the strategic intentions of the Ming Dynasty, he became much more honest now and basically did not dare to lead a large army to attack Shenyang and Liaoyang at will.

In addition, Nurhaci also began to consciously leave enough troops behind him to prevent the attacks of the Ming army.

Therefore, Nurhaci had to send small groups of troops to harass the Ming army.

The Ming army also adopted a small group of troops to go out to harass the Eastern Barbarians.

Therefore, in this way, intelligence collection and reconnaissance become more important.

After all, once the information is inaccurate and the reconnaissance is not in place, it is easy to lose it or fall into a pre-set pocket array.

Huang Degong now leads a team of Yulin Guards to explore the enemy situation on a hillside near Chaihe.

"Head, you guessed it right. There were indeed Donglu camping here in front, with about a thousand people. I guess there were three or four Niulu."

At this time, Tiefeng, a Yulinwei Xiaoqian official who came from Yebu, came over with Huang Degong, covered in snow, grinned at him, and then handed the telescope in his hand to Huang Degong.

The telescope was specially made by Zhu Youxiao, who organized craftsmen by Xu Guangqi and missionary Yang Mano. Now, these first telescopes were naturally installed in the Guards camp for use as a sentry detective.

Huang Degong took the telescope, turned the lens barrel, adjusted the focal length, and then started to look carefully.

For a moment, Huang Degong saw many Jiannu with rat tails in his money pointing to the north, and said, "They seem to be leaving, going to the north, let's follow us!"

"Follow the past?! No, boss, we are already very close to Donglu. The scouts of Donglu will find us at any time. Will there be any trouble if we follow us all the way?"

Tiefeng hurriedly asked Huang Degong.

"That's right, these Dongliu are becoming more and more cunning now. We have been in Liaodong for so long and have not fought a decent battle. It's embarrassing to say it out. Since I finally saw so many Dongliu coming out in this snowy day, I can't let them go!"

Huang Degong pointed his head, smiled and put away his telescope, and after whistling, a white horse ran out of the woods.

Then, Huang Degong immediately turned over and said, "They have already pulled out the camp, and we will follow us slowly! It will be dark this day. Let's continue to do so, and the fire will not be lit!"
