Shangjing City
Guo Huai beat his knees, and although there was a stove, he still felt sore and unstoppable.
This disease occurred during the northern border, but it would occur during rain and snow. The imperial doctor in the palace had treated him many times but could not be treated. He had to remind him to keep warm and take a rest
Guo Huai smiled bitterly. He was not resting. Emperor Zhao Ming put almost all the burden on him. Recently, the war between the Western Xinjiang and the southern front made him unable to eat and unable to sleep at night.
Guo Huai often missed the days in the North Frontier Camp. Even if it was bitter, it was so bitter. He was as close as brothers, no disputes about interests, no intrigue. As long as he heard the sound of the horn, everyone was excited and fought bravely to fight the enemy. How comfortable it was.
Now above this temple, there are wine pools and meat forests, singing and dancing every day, and pushing cups and drinking cups, but even the true face of the person opposite may not be able to see clearly.
Sir, there is a battle report
Guo Huai woke up from his thoughts, rubbed his eyebrows and asked: Where did it come from?
It was sent by Lord Chu, Daying, the southern line
When he heard that it was sent by Chu Mingtang, Guo Huai was awake
Since he transferred 10,000 Black Cavalry to the South Front Camp, this childhood friend rarely wrote to him, as if the war on the South Front had never happened.
He was not easy to send a letter and asked on his own initiative, which really made him feel a little unhappy
He picked up the hot paint from the seal and took out the battle report. Guo Huai took a look and stood up.
The empress Chu Mingtang bowed his head and bowed, and asked the emperor for his blessing. Our southern camp won many battles and defeated more than 100,000 enemies, and completely destroyed the Southern Qi Navy Camp...
Guo Huai suddenly said to someone else: Change your clothes quickly, I will go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor
Guo Huai rushed to the palace quickly, and suddenly remembered that the emperor had already rested at this time, but he didn't care about so much, so he ran straight towards the emperor's bedroom.
The head of the inner palace company stood outside the door of the bedroom. Seeing Guo Huai coming hurriedly, he hurried forward and made a booing gesture, and whispered: The emperor just went to bed. Lord Guo will report it tomorrow if you have something to do.
Guo Huai shook his head and said: Manager Lian, this matter is urgent and must be reported to the emperor.
Manager Lian was waiting for another persuasion, and Emperor Zhao Ming's voice came from inside: Is it Guo Huai? Come in
Guo Huai pushed away the general manager, walked inward quickly, and shouted: Emperor is very happy
Emperor Ming Zhao wore a robe and saw Guo Huai so excited: Guo Qing, where is the joy coming from? Did Western Qin retreat?
Guo Huai was stunned and said: Western Qin has not yet retreated, but there is a good news on the southern front of the camp.
Emperor Ming Zhao was a little disappointed: Did Chu Mingtang come? I only asked him to guard the southern front camp, what can he do to win?
Guo Huai smiled and said: Mingtang not only guarded the southern front camp, but also took the initiative to attack, defeated 100,000 enemies, and wiped out the Southern Qi Navy Camp. This is the biggest victory of our dynasty since Taizu.
Emperor Zhao Ming was shocked and quickly took the battle report from Guo Huai. He hurriedly read it, and looked at it happily for a while, and then he said a little suspiciously: Guo Qing, do you think this battle report is true or false?
Guo Huai was shocked and said: Emperor, Ming Tang definitely would not do such a thing as deceiving the emperor.
Emperor Zhao Ming sneered: How can I see it?
Guo Huai felt cold in his heart. He didn't expect that Emperor Ming of Zhao had such deep concerns about Chu Mingtang, and hurriedly said: Emperor, the war report can be lies, but the above mentioned capture of 50,000 enemies, must not speak nonsense. This is all evidence-based. Even if you only capture 60,000 people of Southern Qi, it is definitely not easy to do it.
Emperor Ming of Zhao looked at the battle report in his hand again and snorted: If you defeat the enemy 100,000, you can actually capture 60,000. Guo Qing, how did Chu Mingtang do it? Can you do it?
Guo Huai hesitated: When I was in the northern border, I was against Hu Man outside the Great Wall. It was difficult to compare with the Southern Qi Dynasty. Ming Tang was commanding this time, and I was not good at commenting. I only knew that Ming Tang was proficient in military tactics, but the details of the matter were probably only known after the detailed battle report was reported.
Emperor Zhao Ming closed his eyes and remained silent
Guo Huai whispered: Emperor, will this war report be notified to all ministers as usual for the morning court tomorrow?
Emperor Zhao Ming sighed: Can you not tell the ministers? Since Chu Mingtang has delivered the battle report to me, Chu Tian probably has it in his hand.
Guo Huai didn't dare to speak again and quietly retreated
Emperor Ming of Zhao slowly opened his eyes and said to himself: Chu Mingtang, I really didn't expect that you were still proficient in military tactics. After such a big victory, I had no way out to retreat.
The next morning, Chu Mingting looked at the ministers in the palace in a daze, his ears buzzing, and some ministers kept pointing at him. The censor Tang even splashed with mouth and his face was full of anger, and his fingers were about to poke Chu Mingting's face.
He didn't understand what was going on. Before the morning court, Lord Tang still had a affectionate fight with him. Haha
But as soon as the emperor came, he was the first to impeach Chu Mingting for corruption and abuse of power, occupying the land, and the ruler was not strict, so he asked the emperor to dismiss Chu Mingting from his post and investigate.
Before the emperor could speak, the ministers who had always been friends with Chu Mingting came out one by one and counted his crimes one by one.
Although Emperor Ming of Zhao was quite dissatisfied with Chu Mingting, he was worried about Chu Tianfang and did not dare to treat him.
I didn't expect that so many people impeached Chu Mingting at the same time today, including many officials from the Chu clan.
He looked at the prime minister Fang Lingxin, who was standing at the head of the officials, and said: Fang Qing, what do you think?
Fang Lingxin was also thinking about what was going on. If this matter had nothing to do with Chu Tianfang that old guy, he would definitely not believe it.
No one can do that except for this old fox, but why is he impeached his son?
When the emperor asked him, Fang Lingxin dared not answer. Although he had not thought it clearly, his intuition told him not to dismiss Chu Mingting, so he said: Emperor, Chu Shangshu has been serving as the Minister of Justice for nearly ten years. Although his ability is mediocre, he is also diligent and has never made any major mistakes. Now, it is too hasty to remove the position of Shangshu just by relying on the words of the Censor Tang.
The Censor Tang sneered: The Prime Minister said that the officials were just one-sided words, which means that the officials were empty-handed. The person came, bring the certificate up.
Two censors carried a box to the hall
The Censor Tang pointed to the box and said, "Prince, please read it."
Fang Lingxin flipped over the things in the box, retreated and remained silent.
The box is full of records of Chu Mingting receiving gifts, as well as some papers that occupy the fields outside the capital.
It was normal for officials to collect some property and fertile land, but when they were taken to the court, it was enough to be convicted.
Besides, since the Tang Censor dared to bring these up, it must be well-founded.
Fang Lingxin and Chu Mingting have always had a rift. Now he wants him to try his best to guarantee Chu Mingting, but Fang Lingxin is not willing to do so.
Emperor Ming of Zhao looked at the evidence presented and said: Since that is the case, what should Fang Qing thinks should be dealt with?
Fang Lingxin bowed and replied: Since the evidence is conclusive, he should be removed from the position of Shangshu of Chu Mingting because he has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years and is considered diligent, so he will be sent to Youzhou as the prefect. He has never wanted to punish Chu Mingting too much, and always feels that something is wrong.
Emperor Ming of Zhao nodded and said: Chu Mingting...
Chu Mingting went out without waiting for the emperor to finish his words: Mingting deserves his guilt, and is willing to go to Youzhou
Chu Mingting was disheartened at the moment. He was not a fool. He knew that today's affairs must be arranged by his father, but he did not get any news in advance. Obviously, his father no longer cared about his son.
Emperor Zhao Ming said: Well, you can leave Beijing for three days and go to Youzhou to take office.
Chu Mingting took off his hat and placed it on the ground. He bowed to Emperor Ming of Zhao three times and left the palace.
Emperor Ming of Zhao suddenly remembered something. The Southern Front Good News had not yet informed the ministers, so he cleared his throat and said: Chu Mingtang, the commander of the Southern Front Dazhan, came with the Southern Front Dazhan. The Southern Front Dazhan fought with Qi for several days, annihilated more than 100,000 enemy troops, and completely destroyed the Southern Qi Navy Camp...
A strange sound suddenly came from the court, and all the ministers looked at Fang Lingxin, and saw him clenching his fists and his face turned pale.
Fang Lingxin knew that his last excuse to prevent Chu Mingtang from entering the court was no longer there, but he really didn't expect that Chu Tianfang would make such a decisive decision and almost put his son to death.
Chu Mingting returned to the mansion in a daze, but saw his father Chu Tianfang waiting for him in the courtyard.
When he saw his father, Chu Mingting was full of anger, but under his father's power, he really didn't have the courage to get angry, so he had to turn back with hatred.
Chu Tian said in a deep voice: Come back
Chu Mingting's body stiffened and he slowly turned around
Chu Tianfang glanced at him and said: Come with me
Although Chu Mingting did not understand his intention, he did not dare to refuse and followed his father into the front hall.
Chu Tianfang pointed at the pile of luggage in the hall and said: "You are already prepared for you, but before leaving, you have a few words to say to you."
When Chu Mingting saw the luggage, he was so angry that his hands and feet were cold and could no longer bear it. He shouted: You are indeed the one who made trouble for the morning court today. OK, okay! Father, I finally called you Father. From then on, I will go to Youzhou, my bitter and cold land, and you will enjoy your glory and wealth. The kindness of father and son will be broken!
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall, and said to the two families at the door: Carry out my luggage.
Chu Tian put it in the house and called out: Take that beast in for me
Without hesitation, the two families carried Chu Mingting in mid-air and threw it in front of Chu Tianfang.
Chu Mingting almost fainted from pain, kneeling there and dared not resist anymore
He was not confused. He understood that although his family members were respectful to him on weekdays, his strength was really pitiful in front of his father.
Chu Tianfang seemed to have been aged for several years, sat down tremblingly, and said: Ting'er, how many years have you been called you by your father? It's almost twenty years. I thought you had grown up and didn't have to worry about your father anymore. But since you became the Minister of Justice, you are becoming more and more disappointed by your father. You are not a person who accomplished great things. You are mediocre. You always think that you are the eldest son of the Chu family. You are arrogant, bullying others to others, and are mean to your relatives. You never understand that the century-old glory of the Chu family can be supported by the Chu family in the capital? How do you say that you are the father and give it all to you.
Chu Mingting knelt down without saying a word
My father knows that you have always been dissatisfied with Chu Mingtang. If my father is still young, I would rather use Chu Mingtang as an opponent. Confronting people like Mingtang in the court, that is the joy of life. I think Mingtang will think so too. So Fang Lingxin, that boy will never be able to match us. He only knows to stop Mingtang from entering the court with all his strength. He overestimated his abilities, but instead increased Mingtang's prestige in the court and the country. Now he has to invite Mingtang into the court.
Unfortunately, my father is old and I have to choose Chu Mingtang. Fortunately, Mingtang always has the Chu family in his heart. Although he is favored by the emperor today, the Chu family needs him. He returns to the Chu family immediately. He knows that his roots are always in the Chu family. What he has shed is the blood of his ancestors, Xing Gong, who has given him the Chu family's sect leader to him. He is more at ease to be a father.
You can rest assured that Mingtang is not a narrow-minded person. As long as he is not hindered to him, he will not do anything to you. After all, you belong to the Chu family. But if you are in the court and only act voluntarily, it will be unfavorable to the Chu family. Mingtang will not be ruthless. Being a father will not let you cause trouble for the Chu family. This time, the Chu family has let you leave the capital. Maybe it is a good thing. You have been in the capital for more than ten years and only know that you should pay attention to small profits in front of you. When you arrive in Youzhou, the sea is wide and the sky is wide, your vision may be broader.
Chu Tian sighed and waved his hand
You go, be careful on the way
A gentleman does not win over what others like, Chu Zheng finally gave up asking Chu Luoshui for his idea of loving horses.
But these days he is still in the Black Cavalry Camp, asking Chu Luoshui and others for advice to get it right away
Chu Mingtang didn't care about him, thinking that since his son has this talent, let it go. Anyway, nothing happened these days
That night, the Navy of Southern Qi was raided and caught Nan Qi off guard again.
Although Prince E, who led the troops, had ordered strict precautions, most of the soldiers below believed that the Northern Zhao army had just returned to Jiangbei and would have some rest, so their morale was relaxed.
Prince E is only over thirty years old. Although he is smart and capable, he has never experienced any war. He did not expect that Chu Mingtang would mobilize all his troops to attack with all his strength this time.
The warships of the Southern Qi Navy were lost and they were unable to stop the landing of North Zhao.
There is no danger to defend by the river, so Prince E can only watch the Northern Zhao army disembark and move forward steadily
He originally wanted to resist stubbornly. Half an hour later, the two cavalrymen from North Zhao also began to intercept and kill in the Southern Qi formation. Prince E finally felt that things were impossible and retreated in a hurry.
The Northern Zhao army once again occupied the Southern Qi Navy camp, but did not stay for long. They moved all the things they could carry on the boat and returned again.
After returning to the camp by the river, the soldiers of North Zhao smiled happily
But Chu Zheng gave Chu Mingtang another bad idea that everyone in the riverside camp would grit their teeth.
Except for the Black Cavalry, all the troops rest during the day, divided into two at night, landed on the south bank once in the middle of the night, and went to the Nanqi Navy Camp for a walk and then came back, which was called the "Beach Landing War"
Three days later, everyone couldn't stand it, so they changed to two armies training overnight. Half a month later, the Northern Zhao army was extremely skilled in landing operations.
Prince E of Southern Qi had to mobilize national troops to form a 200,000 army, and deploy layers of defense on the riverside.
The training boom in Bei Zhao has gradually subsided
At this time, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan were standing on the sidelines of the Black Cavalry Military Academy. Looking at the child in the field, they were also troubled by the other day.
Others all secretly blame Chu Mingtang, but they both knew that this child was the real culprit.
Fortunately, Chu Xuan was angrily trying to teach Chu Zheng a lesson, but looking at Chu Zheng in the field, Chu Yuan was chilling all over and gasping for breath, and he could no longer have this idea.
A few days ago, Chu Zheng practiced his kung fu immediately, and always felt that he had no favorable weapons.
After trying Chu Luoshui, Xia Mo was not satisfied with his long sword. After all, he was short and very uncomfortable with his weapons. Suddenly, the iron lump used by the blacksmith in the army to build weapons. His eyes lit up. Didn’t Li Yuanba use a sledgehammer? He has been practicing the dragon and elephant demon-subduing skills for many years, and his divine power may not be much worse than him.
Chu Zheng ran to the ordnance camp and ordered the blacksmith to cast a pair of sledgehammers for him. When the blacksmiths saw the commander, they immediately opened the furnace and set fire to forge it for him.
Unfortunately, there were no ready-made molds in the army before. The cast sledgehammer was strangely shaped, just a piece of cast iron with an iron stick.
Chu Zheng had to make do with it, but each sledgehammer weighed nearly 100 kilograms, and an ordinary horse could not bear it at all. He could only borrow his BMW from Chu Luoshui.
Since Chu Zheng threw it out in the air, the horse was finally convinced. He knew that he could not afford to offend the child, so he let Chu Zheng step on its back
Zhou Han'an and Xia Mo almost laughed out loud when they saw Chu Zheng's unprecedented weapon. They all said that Mr. Chu would not need to fight against the enemy in the future, and they would ensure that the enemy generals would laugh to death.
Chu Zheng was so angry that he rushed to Xia Mo and smashed it hard.
Xia Mo hurriedly raised his long knife to block it. With a loud bang, Xia Mo's arms were numb, and the long knife in his hand was bent.
Chu Zheng then swept across the left hammer. Before the hammer arrived, a strong wind forced Xia Mo to breathe. He turned over and rolled down from the horse, barely avoiding the hammer.
Chu Zheng did not stop, turned his horse's head and ran towards Zhou Han'an.
Zhou Han'an suddenly saw Chu Zheng running towards him, and quickly turned around and ran away. His spear had been with him for ten years, so he really didn't want to be destroyed by Chu Zheng's hammer.
The black cavalry on the side saw the two deputy generals who were usually majestic and despicable, and the sound of the colorful sound was loud.
After chasing for a while, Chu Zheng calmed down his anger. Seeing his two brothers watching on the sidelines, he ran over with a smile and said: You are here too, why are you okay tonight?
Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan looked at their younger brother blankly, unable to speak for a while
Zhou Han'an and Xia Mo protected them at the order of Chu Luoshui in the last battle. Their bravery and good fighting were witnessed by the two brothers, but now they were beaten and fled everywhere. But that person was still his thirteen-year-old brother. The huge contrast is really unbearable.
After a long time, Chu Yuan pointed at the large iron block in Chu Zheng's hand and said dryly: What is this?
This, Chu Zheng threw the hammer in his hand. It was a new weapon I asked someone to make. How about it? It's OK
Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan repeatedly hit Xia Mo's long sword like this with one hammer. How could it not be possible
Chu Xuan looked at it and said: It's just that he looks too ugly
Chu Zheng said without any worries: It's okay, I threw it away after using it. This thing is about 200 pounds, and it's not possible except my cousin, this BMW. I'll breathe after running a few steps.
The two brothers gasped again, two hundred pounds?
Chu Zheng suddenly pointed ahead: Are you not the two gentlemen He Zhao in front of his father's account?
The two men also saw Wang Xiuhe and the three brothers here. They hesitated for a while and walked over to salute and said: See the three young men
Seeing that the two of them were carrying a group of people behind them, dressed in simple clothes and crowned on their heads, unlike those of the people from North Zhao. The leader was over thirty years old, with a clear face and a wise look, he couldn't help but ask Mr. He: Are they...?
Mr. He hurriedly said: This is Lord Xiao of Southern Qi, who was sent by Prince E to negotiate with the commander, and then introduced to the man: These three are all the sons of our commander Chu.
The man gracefully bowed to the three of them: Xiao Ruoshui of Southern Qi had seen three young masters for a long time and heard that Chu had known people for a long time and was good at managing the army. He was a hero of the world. Unexpectedly, the three young masters were also young and promising, so extraordinary.
The three brothers returned the gifts one after another. Chu Zheng was holding the pair of sledgehammers in his hand and quickly threw them down. He heard two muffled sounds and smashed two big holes on the ground.
Xiao Ruoshui felt a stern in his heart, and looked at Chu Zheng, feeling a little unbelievable.
Mr. Zhao said on the side: Lord Xiao, let’s go quickly. The commander is still waiting for the fifth son in the tent. Lord Zhao told you to go to the tent too.
Chu Mingtang's army tent is not far from the Black Cavalry Camp. It arrived soon. Mr. Zhao asked Xiao Ruoshui and his party to wait in front of the tent. He went in to report first.
Chu Zheng didn't have so much scruples, so he walked in swagger
Xiao Ruoshui looked at the child's back and thoughtfully
Mr. Zhao walked into the tent and reported to Chu Mingtang: Lord, the Southern Qi envoy was waiting in front of the tent.
Chu Mingtang hushed and asked: Who is the messenger's surname?
The man claimed to be a consultant in Prince E's mansion and was named Xiao Ruoshui
Chu Mingtang was stunned, frowned and thought for a while, and said to himself: Could it be him?
Chu Zheng sounded a little strange: Did your father know this person?
Chu Mingtang shook his head, and saw that it was Chu Zheng asking, and glared: What have you done? You are sweating all over. Go and wash, don't lose Da Zhao's face.
Chu Zheng curled his lips and walked into the inner tent
Chu Mingtang is a person who is slim and is always preparing a large bucket of warm water in the inner tent. Chu Zheng reached out and tried it. The water temperature was just right, so he took off his legs and jumped naked into the bucket.
Sighing a long sigh, Chu Zheng sighed: Comfortable
Just now, I heard my father's tone and seemed to know that Xiao Ruoshui was not an ordinary person either.
Chu Zheng knew that although his father could not say that he was above his top, he also had a high opinion of himself. Not everyone could catch his eyes on him. Even Prince E of Southern Qi, Chu Mingtang only commented on the golden branches and jade leaves.
Xiao Ruoshui followed Mr. He into the big tent, and Chu Mingtang did not neglect and stood up to greet him.
Xiao Ruoshui bowed and said: Xiao has heard of Lord Chu's reputation for a long time. I am honored to see him today. The person in front of me just destroyed 100,000 troops from the Southern Qi army not long ago. I don't know how many people in the Southern Qi want to crush him and throw him into ashes.
Chu Mingtang smiled slightly: Xiao Tanhua's literary talent is well-known all over the world, and I have long been honored by my great name. Please sit down.
Xiao Ruoshui sat down on one side, but was surprised and confused. He did win the Tanhua ten years ago. According to the Nanqi ancestor system, only the top scholar and the second place could retire directly. The first two were taken away by two ignorant families. Fortunately, he was favored by Prince E and entered the Prince E's mansion and became the chief clerk in the mansion.
But how did Chu Mingtang know these
Xiao Ruoshui looked at the people accompanying him, and most of them showed suspicion. Some people even looked at him with malicious intentions and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. I'm afraid that after returning to Southern Qi, I don't know how many rumors were targeted at him.
Xiao Ruoshui forced himself to speak: Lord Chu, Xiao, on the order of Prince E of the current dynasty, came to discuss with Lord Chu the matter of the two countries' silence of the troops and the war.
Mr. Zhao, on the left side of Chu Mingtang, coughed and said: Mr. Xiao’s words are wrong. Now you are in the territory of Da Zhao. The prince of the dynasty is His Highness, King Changping in Pingyuan City, not Prince E.
Xiao Ruoshui was a little embarrassed and was in a mess just now. He actually said the wrong thing for a moment. He looked at Chu Mingtang, but found that the child he had seen before stood behind Chu Mingtang at some point.
Seeing that he was absent-minded, someone stood up and said, "It's just that Lord Xiao was wrong. Please forgive me. But Northern Zhao fought against our dynasty this time and captured our southern Qi camp. Both Qi and Zhao were etiquette countries, and I don't know how Lord Chu explained it.
Chu Mingtang said lightly: You Southern Qi and Western Qin have formed an alliance and are preparing to attack our dynasty. Is this fake? Our army is just taking the initiative.
Xiao Ruoshui came back to his senses and said: Western Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. Everyone in the world knows that our dynasty has formed an alliance with it. It is just a plea agreement and a false entrusting snake. Our dynasty has not added a soldier to the Navy camp, so how can we attack this statement
As soon as this said, the tent suddenly became silent
The battle has reached this time, and most of Chu Mingtang's aides were as clear as a mirror. The 100,000 troops stationed in Southern Qi was completely groundless, but no one dared to say it. After all, this news came from the commander of Chu.
Chu Mingtang was about to refute
Chu Zheng spoke first behind him: But we have reported that Qi State has stationed 100,000 troops by the river. Moreover, according to the report of our generals, the battles in the past few days have lasted more than 100,000 Southern Qi troops encountered.
Xiao Ruoshui stared at Chu Zheng: Mr. Chu is indeed extraordinary and his words are sharp, but what you met was the reinforcements led by Prince E. The navy camp has always had only 55,000 naval troops.
Chu Zheng smiled at Chu Mingtang: Father, according to Lord Xiao, it seems that we got the fake news.
Chu Mingtang smiled and said: What Lord Xiao said, we will investigate strictly. If this is true, our court will send those people to Prince E.
Chu Zheng almost laughed, and couldn't help but think in his heart that the world has always been the most respected by the strong. Although you have the right to do this in the Southern Qi Dynasty, how can you be patient with me?
Everyone in the Southern Qi suddenly looked ashen
At this time, Wang Mingyuan, deputy commander of the Southern Front Camp, hurried in, gave a gift to Chu Mingtang, walked up to him, and said softly in Chu Mingtang's ear:
The emperor has an imperial edict
Guo Huai beat his knees, and although there was a stove, he still felt sore and unstoppable.
This disease occurred during the northern border, but it would occur during rain and snow. The imperial doctor in the palace had treated him many times but could not be treated. He had to remind him to keep warm and take a rest
Guo Huai smiled bitterly. He was not resting. Emperor Zhao Ming put almost all the burden on him. Recently, the war between the Western Xinjiang and the southern front made him unable to eat and unable to sleep at night.
Guo Huai often missed the days in the North Frontier Camp. Even if it was bitter, it was so bitter. He was as close as brothers, no disputes about interests, no intrigue. As long as he heard the sound of the horn, everyone was excited and fought bravely to fight the enemy. How comfortable it was.
Now above this temple, there are wine pools and meat forests, singing and dancing every day, and pushing cups and drinking cups, but even the true face of the person opposite may not be able to see clearly.
Sir, there is a battle report
Guo Huai woke up from his thoughts, rubbed his eyebrows and asked: Where did it come from?
It was sent by Lord Chu, Daying, the southern line
When he heard that it was sent by Chu Mingtang, Guo Huai was awake
Since he transferred 10,000 Black Cavalry to the South Front Camp, this childhood friend rarely wrote to him, as if the war on the South Front had never happened.
He was not easy to send a letter and asked on his own initiative, which really made him feel a little unhappy
He picked up the hot paint from the seal and took out the battle report. Guo Huai took a look and stood up.
The empress Chu Mingtang bowed his head and bowed, and asked the emperor for his blessing. Our southern camp won many battles and defeated more than 100,000 enemies, and completely destroyed the Southern Qi Navy Camp...

Guo Huai rushed to the palace quickly, and suddenly remembered that the emperor had already rested at this time, but he didn't care about so much, so he ran straight towards the emperor's bedroom.
The head of the inner palace company stood outside the door of the bedroom. Seeing Guo Huai coming hurriedly, he hurried forward and made a booing gesture, and whispered: The emperor just went to bed. Lord Guo will report it tomorrow if you have something to do.
Guo Huai shook his head and said: Manager Lian, this matter is urgent and must be reported to the emperor.
Manager Lian was waiting for another persuasion, and Emperor Zhao Ming's voice came from inside: Is it Guo Huai? Come in
Guo Huai pushed away the general manager, walked inward quickly, and shouted: Emperor is very happy
Emperor Ming Zhao wore a robe and saw Guo Huai so excited: Guo Qing, where is the joy coming from? Did Western Qin retreat?
Guo Huai was stunned and said: Western Qin has not yet retreated, but there is a good news on the southern front of the camp.
Emperor Ming Zhao was a little disappointed: Did Chu Mingtang come? I only asked him to guard the southern front camp, what can he do to win?
Guo Huai smiled and said: Mingtang not only guarded the southern front camp, but also took the initiative to attack, defeated 100,000 enemies, and wiped out the Southern Qi Navy Camp. This is the biggest victory of our dynasty since Taizu.
Emperor Zhao Ming was shocked and quickly took the battle report from Guo Huai. He hurriedly read it, and looked at it happily for a while, and then he said a little suspiciously: Guo Qing, do you think this battle report is true or false?
Guo Huai was shocked and said: Emperor, Ming Tang definitely would not do such a thing as deceiving the emperor.
Emperor Zhao Ming sneered: How can I see it?
Guo Huai felt cold in his heart. He didn't expect that Emperor Ming of Zhao had such deep concerns about Chu Mingtang, and hurriedly said: Emperor, the war report can be lies, but the above mentioned capture of 50,000 enemies, must not speak nonsense. This is all evidence-based. Even if you only capture 60,000 people of Southern Qi, it is definitely not easy to do it.
Emperor Ming of Zhao looked at the battle report in his hand again and snorted: If you defeat the enemy 100,000, you can actually capture 60,000. Guo Qing, how did Chu Mingtang do it? Can you do it?
Guo Huai hesitated: When I was in the northern border, I was against Hu Man outside the Great Wall. It was difficult to compare with the Southern Qi Dynasty. Ming Tang was commanding this time, and I was not good at commenting. I only knew that Ming Tang was proficient in military tactics, but the details of the matter were probably only known after the detailed battle report was reported.
Emperor Zhao Ming closed his eyes and remained silent
Guo Huai whispered: Emperor, will this war report be notified to all ministers as usual for the morning court tomorrow?
Emperor Zhao Ming sighed: Can you not tell the ministers? Since Chu Mingtang has delivered the battle report to me, Chu Tian probably has it in his hand.
Guo Huai didn't dare to speak again and quietly retreated
Emperor Ming of Zhao slowly opened his eyes and said to himself: Chu Mingtang, I really didn't expect that you were still proficient in military tactics. After such a big victory, I had no way out to retreat.
The next morning, Chu Mingting looked at the ministers in the palace in a daze, his ears buzzing, and some ministers kept pointing at him. The censor Tang even splashed with mouth and his face was full of anger, and his fingers were about to poke Chu Mingting's face.
He didn't understand what was going on. Before the morning court, Lord Tang still had a affectionate fight with him. Haha
But as soon as the emperor came, he was the first to impeach Chu Mingting for corruption and abuse of power, occupying the land, and the ruler was not strict, so he asked the emperor to dismiss Chu Mingting from his post and investigate.

Although Emperor Ming of Zhao was quite dissatisfied with Chu Mingting, he was worried about Chu Tianfang and did not dare to treat him.
I didn't expect that so many people impeached Chu Mingting at the same time today, including many officials from the Chu clan.
He looked at the prime minister Fang Lingxin, who was standing at the head of the officials, and said: Fang Qing, what do you think?
Fang Lingxin was also thinking about what was going on. If this matter had nothing to do with Chu Tianfang that old guy, he would definitely not believe it.
No one can do that except for this old fox, but why is he impeached his son?
When the emperor asked him, Fang Lingxin dared not answer. Although he had not thought it clearly, his intuition told him not to dismiss Chu Mingting, so he said: Emperor, Chu Shangshu has been serving as the Minister of Justice for nearly ten years. Although his ability is mediocre, he is also diligent and has never made any major mistakes. Now, it is too hasty to remove the position of Shangshu just by relying on the words of the Censor Tang.
The Censor Tang sneered: The Prime Minister said that the officials were just one-sided words, which means that the officials were empty-handed. The person came, bring the certificate up.
Two censors carried a box to the hall
The Censor Tang pointed to the box and said, "Prince, please read it."
Fang Lingxin flipped over the things in the box, retreated and remained silent.
The box is full of records of Chu Mingting receiving gifts, as well as some papers that occupy the fields outside the capital.
It was normal for officials to collect some property and fertile land, but when they were taken to the court, it was enough to be convicted.
Besides, since the Tang Censor dared to bring these up, it must be well-founded.
Fang Lingxin and Chu Mingting have always had a rift. Now he wants him to try his best to guarantee Chu Mingting, but Fang Lingxin is not willing to do so.
Emperor Ming of Zhao looked at the evidence presented and said: Since that is the case, what should Fang Qing thinks should be dealt with?
Fang Lingxin bowed and replied: Since the evidence is conclusive, he should be removed from the position of Shangshu of Chu Mingting because he has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years and is considered diligent, so he will be sent to Youzhou as the prefect. He has never wanted to punish Chu Mingting too much, and always feels that something is wrong.
Emperor Ming of Zhao nodded and said: Chu Mingting...
Chu Mingting went out without waiting for the emperor to finish his words: Mingting deserves his guilt, and is willing to go to Youzhou
Chu Mingting was disheartened at the moment. He was not a fool. He knew that today's affairs must be arranged by his father, but he did not get any news in advance. Obviously, his father no longer cared about his son.
Emperor Zhao Ming said: Well, you can leave Beijing for three days and go to Youzhou to take office.
Chu Mingting took off his hat and placed it on the ground. He bowed to Emperor Ming of Zhao three times and left the palace.
Emperor Ming of Zhao suddenly remembered something. The Southern Front Good News had not yet informed the ministers, so he cleared his throat and said: Chu Mingtang, the commander of the Southern Front Dazhan, came with the Southern Front Dazhan. The Southern Front Dazhan fought with Qi for several days, annihilated more than 100,000 enemy troops, and completely destroyed the Southern Qi Navy Camp...
A strange sound suddenly came from the court, and all the ministers looked at Fang Lingxin, and saw him clenching his fists and his face turned pale.
Fang Lingxin knew that his last excuse to prevent Chu Mingtang from entering the court was no longer there, but he really didn't expect that Chu Tianfang would make such a decisive decision and almost put his son to death.
Chu Mingting returned to the mansion in a daze, but saw his father Chu Tianfang waiting for him in the courtyard.
When he saw his father, Chu Mingting was full of anger, but under his father's power, he really didn't have the courage to get angry, so he had to turn back with hatred.
Chu Tian said in a deep voice: Come back
Chu Mingting's body stiffened and he slowly turned around
Chu Tianfang glanced at him and said: Come with me
Although Chu Mingting did not understand his intention, he did not dare to refuse and followed his father into the front hall.
Chu Tianfang pointed at the pile of luggage in the hall and said: "You are already prepared for you, but before leaving, you have a few words to say to you."
When Chu Mingting saw the luggage, he was so angry that his hands and feet were cold and could no longer bear it. He shouted: You are indeed the one who made trouble for the morning court today. OK, okay! Father, I finally called you Father. From then on, I will go to Youzhou, my bitter and cold land, and you will enjoy your glory and wealth. The kindness of father and son will be broken!
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall, and said to the two families at the door: Carry out my luggage.
Chu Tian put it in the house and called out: Take that beast in for me
Without hesitation, the two families carried Chu Mingting in mid-air and threw it in front of Chu Tianfang.
Chu Mingting almost fainted from pain, kneeling there and dared not resist anymore
He was not confused. He understood that although his family members were respectful to him on weekdays, his strength was really pitiful in front of his father.
Chu Tianfang seemed to have been aged for several years, sat down tremblingly, and said: Ting'er, how many years have you been called you by your father? It's almost twenty years. I thought you had grown up and didn't have to worry about your father anymore. But since you became the Minister of Justice, you are becoming more and more disappointed by your father. You are not a person who accomplished great things. You are mediocre. You always think that you are the eldest son of the Chu family. You are arrogant, bullying others to others, and are mean to your relatives. You never understand that the century-old glory of the Chu family can be supported by the Chu family in the capital? How do you say that you are the father and give it all to you.
Chu Mingting knelt down without saying a word
My father knows that you have always been dissatisfied with Chu Mingtang. If my father is still young, I would rather use Chu Mingtang as an opponent. Confronting people like Mingtang in the court, that is the joy of life. I think Mingtang will think so too. So Fang Lingxin, that boy will never be able to match us. He only knows to stop Mingtang from entering the court with all his strength. He overestimated his abilities, but instead increased Mingtang's prestige in the court and the country. Now he has to invite Mingtang into the court.
Unfortunately, my father is old and I have to choose Chu Mingtang. Fortunately, Mingtang always has the Chu family in his heart. Although he is favored by the emperor today, the Chu family needs him. He returns to the Chu family immediately. He knows that his roots are always in the Chu family. What he has shed is the blood of his ancestors, Xing Gong, who has given him the Chu family's sect leader to him. He is more at ease to be a father.
You can rest assured that Mingtang is not a narrow-minded person. As long as he is not hindered to him, he will not do anything to you. After all, you belong to the Chu family. But if you are in the court and only act voluntarily, it will be unfavorable to the Chu family. Mingtang will not be ruthless. Being a father will not let you cause trouble for the Chu family. This time, the Chu family has let you leave the capital. Maybe it is a good thing. You have been in the capital for more than ten years and only know that you should pay attention to small profits in front of you. When you arrive in Youzhou, the sea is wide and the sky is wide, your vision may be broader.
Chu Tian sighed and waved his hand
You go, be careful on the way
A gentleman does not win over what others like, Chu Zheng finally gave up asking Chu Luoshui for his idea of loving horses.
But these days he is still in the Black Cavalry Camp, asking Chu Luoshui and others for advice to get it right away
Chu Mingtang didn't care about him, thinking that since his son has this talent, let it go. Anyway, nothing happened these days
That night, the Navy of Southern Qi was raided and caught Nan Qi off guard again.
Although Prince E, who led the troops, had ordered strict precautions, most of the soldiers below believed that the Northern Zhao army had just returned to Jiangbei and would have some rest, so their morale was relaxed.
Prince E is only over thirty years old. Although he is smart and capable, he has never experienced any war. He did not expect that Chu Mingtang would mobilize all his troops to attack with all his strength this time.
The warships of the Southern Qi Navy were lost and they were unable to stop the landing of North Zhao.
There is no danger to defend by the river, so Prince E can only watch the Northern Zhao army disembark and move forward steadily
He originally wanted to resist stubbornly. Half an hour later, the two cavalrymen from North Zhao also began to intercept and kill in the Southern Qi formation. Prince E finally felt that things were impossible and retreated in a hurry.
The Northern Zhao army once again occupied the Southern Qi Navy camp, but did not stay for long. They moved all the things they could carry on the boat and returned again.
After returning to the camp by the river, the soldiers of North Zhao smiled happily
But Chu Zheng gave Chu Mingtang another bad idea that everyone in the riverside camp would grit their teeth.
Except for the Black Cavalry, all the troops rest during the day, divided into two at night, landed on the south bank once in the middle of the night, and went to the Nanqi Navy Camp for a walk and then came back, which was called the "Beach Landing War"
Three days later, everyone couldn't stand it, so they changed to two armies training overnight. Half a month later, the Northern Zhao army was extremely skilled in landing operations.
Prince E of Southern Qi had to mobilize national troops to form a 200,000 army, and deploy layers of defense on the riverside.
The training boom in Bei Zhao has gradually subsided
At this time, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan were standing on the sidelines of the Black Cavalry Military Academy. Looking at the child in the field, they were also troubled by the other day.
Others all secretly blame Chu Mingtang, but they both knew that this child was the real culprit.
Fortunately, Chu Xuan was angrily trying to teach Chu Zheng a lesson, but looking at Chu Zheng in the field, Chu Yuan was chilling all over and gasping for breath, and he could no longer have this idea.
A few days ago, Chu Zheng practiced his kung fu immediately, and always felt that he had no favorable weapons.
After trying Chu Luoshui, Xia Mo was not satisfied with his long sword. After all, he was short and very uncomfortable with his weapons. Suddenly, the iron lump used by the blacksmith in the army to build weapons. His eyes lit up. Didn’t Li Yuanba use a sledgehammer? He has been practicing the dragon and elephant demon-subduing skills for many years, and his divine power may not be much worse than him.
Chu Zheng ran to the ordnance camp and ordered the blacksmith to cast a pair of sledgehammers for him. When the blacksmiths saw the commander, they immediately opened the furnace and set fire to forge it for him.
Unfortunately, there were no ready-made molds in the army before. The cast sledgehammer was strangely shaped, just a piece of cast iron with an iron stick.
Chu Zheng had to make do with it, but each sledgehammer weighed nearly 100 kilograms, and an ordinary horse could not bear it at all. He could only borrow his BMW from Chu Luoshui.
Since Chu Zheng threw it out in the air, the horse was finally convinced. He knew that he could not afford to offend the child, so he let Chu Zheng step on its back
Zhou Han'an and Xia Mo almost laughed out loud when they saw Chu Zheng's unprecedented weapon. They all said that Mr. Chu would not need to fight against the enemy in the future, and they would ensure that the enemy generals would laugh to death.
Chu Zheng was so angry that he rushed to Xia Mo and smashed it hard.
Xia Mo hurriedly raised his long knife to block it. With a loud bang, Xia Mo's arms were numb, and the long knife in his hand was bent.
Chu Zheng then swept across the left hammer. Before the hammer arrived, a strong wind forced Xia Mo to breathe. He turned over and rolled down from the horse, barely avoiding the hammer.
Chu Zheng did not stop, turned his horse's head and ran towards Zhou Han'an.
Zhou Han'an suddenly saw Chu Zheng running towards him, and quickly turned around and ran away. His spear had been with him for ten years, so he really didn't want to be destroyed by Chu Zheng's hammer.
The black cavalry on the side saw the two deputy generals who were usually majestic and despicable, and the sound of the colorful sound was loud.
After chasing for a while, Chu Zheng calmed down his anger. Seeing his two brothers watching on the sidelines, he ran over with a smile and said: You are here too, why are you okay tonight?
Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan looked at their younger brother blankly, unable to speak for a while
Zhou Han'an and Xia Mo protected them at the order of Chu Luoshui in the last battle. Their bravery and good fighting were witnessed by the two brothers, but now they were beaten and fled everywhere. But that person was still his thirteen-year-old brother. The huge contrast is really unbearable.
After a long time, Chu Yuan pointed at the large iron block in Chu Zheng's hand and said dryly: What is this?
This, Chu Zheng threw the hammer in his hand. It was a new weapon I asked someone to make. How about it? It's OK
Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan repeatedly hit Xia Mo's long sword like this with one hammer. How could it not be possible
Chu Xuan looked at it and said: It's just that he looks too ugly
Chu Zheng said without any worries: It's okay, I threw it away after using it. This thing is about 200 pounds, and it's not possible except my cousin, this BMW. I'll breathe after running a few steps.
The two brothers gasped again, two hundred pounds?
Chu Zheng suddenly pointed ahead: Are you not the two gentlemen He Zhao in front of his father's account?
The two men also saw Wang Xiuhe and the three brothers here. They hesitated for a while and walked over to salute and said: See the three young men
Seeing that the two of them were carrying a group of people behind them, dressed in simple clothes and crowned on their heads, unlike those of the people from North Zhao. The leader was over thirty years old, with a clear face and a wise look, he couldn't help but ask Mr. He: Are they...?
Mr. He hurriedly said: This is Lord Xiao of Southern Qi, who was sent by Prince E to negotiate with the commander, and then introduced to the man: These three are all the sons of our commander Chu.
The man gracefully bowed to the three of them: Xiao Ruoshui of Southern Qi had seen three young masters for a long time and heard that Chu had known people for a long time and was good at managing the army. He was a hero of the world. Unexpectedly, the three young masters were also young and promising, so extraordinary.
The three brothers returned the gifts one after another. Chu Zheng was holding the pair of sledgehammers in his hand and quickly threw them down. He heard two muffled sounds and smashed two big holes on the ground.
Xiao Ruoshui felt a stern in his heart, and looked at Chu Zheng, feeling a little unbelievable.
Mr. Zhao said on the side: Lord Xiao, let’s go quickly. The commander is still waiting for the fifth son in the tent. Lord Zhao told you to go to the tent too.
Chu Mingtang's army tent is not far from the Black Cavalry Camp. It arrived soon. Mr. Zhao asked Xiao Ruoshui and his party to wait in front of the tent. He went in to report first.
Chu Zheng didn't have so much scruples, so he walked in swagger
Xiao Ruoshui looked at the child's back and thoughtfully
Mr. Zhao walked into the tent and reported to Chu Mingtang: Lord, the Southern Qi envoy was waiting in front of the tent.
Chu Mingtang hushed and asked: Who is the messenger's surname?
The man claimed to be a consultant in Prince E's mansion and was named Xiao Ruoshui
Chu Mingtang was stunned, frowned and thought for a while, and said to himself: Could it be him?
Chu Zheng sounded a little strange: Did your father know this person?
Chu Mingtang shook his head, and saw that it was Chu Zheng asking, and glared: What have you done? You are sweating all over. Go and wash, don't lose Da Zhao's face.
Chu Zheng curled his lips and walked into the inner tent
Chu Mingtang is a person who is slim and is always preparing a large bucket of warm water in the inner tent. Chu Zheng reached out and tried it. The water temperature was just right, so he took off his legs and jumped naked into the bucket.
Sighing a long sigh, Chu Zheng sighed: Comfortable
Just now, I heard my father's tone and seemed to know that Xiao Ruoshui was not an ordinary person either.
Chu Zheng knew that although his father could not say that he was above his top, he also had a high opinion of himself. Not everyone could catch his eyes on him. Even Prince E of Southern Qi, Chu Mingtang only commented on the golden branches and jade leaves.
Xiao Ruoshui followed Mr. He into the big tent, and Chu Mingtang did not neglect and stood up to greet him.
Xiao Ruoshui bowed and said: Xiao has heard of Lord Chu's reputation for a long time. I am honored to see him today. The person in front of me just destroyed 100,000 troops from the Southern Qi army not long ago. I don't know how many people in the Southern Qi want to crush him and throw him into ashes.
Chu Mingtang smiled slightly: Xiao Tanhua's literary talent is well-known all over the world, and I have long been honored by my great name. Please sit down.
Xiao Ruoshui sat down on one side, but was surprised and confused. He did win the Tanhua ten years ago. According to the Nanqi ancestor system, only the top scholar and the second place could retire directly. The first two were taken away by two ignorant families. Fortunately, he was favored by Prince E and entered the Prince E's mansion and became the chief clerk in the mansion.
But how did Chu Mingtang know these
Xiao Ruoshui looked at the people accompanying him, and most of them showed suspicion. Some people even looked at him with malicious intentions and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. I'm afraid that after returning to Southern Qi, I don't know how many rumors were targeted at him.
Xiao Ruoshui forced himself to speak: Lord Chu, Xiao, on the order of Prince E of the current dynasty, came to discuss with Lord Chu the matter of the two countries' silence of the troops and the war.
Mr. Zhao, on the left side of Chu Mingtang, coughed and said: Mr. Xiao’s words are wrong. Now you are in the territory of Da Zhao. The prince of the dynasty is His Highness, King Changping in Pingyuan City, not Prince E.
Xiao Ruoshui was a little embarrassed and was in a mess just now. He actually said the wrong thing for a moment. He looked at Chu Mingtang, but found that the child he had seen before stood behind Chu Mingtang at some point.
Seeing that he was absent-minded, someone stood up and said, "It's just that Lord Xiao was wrong. Please forgive me. But Northern Zhao fought against our dynasty this time and captured our southern Qi camp. Both Qi and Zhao were etiquette countries, and I don't know how Lord Chu explained it.
Chu Mingtang said lightly: You Southern Qi and Western Qin have formed an alliance and are preparing to attack our dynasty. Is this fake? Our army is just taking the initiative.
Xiao Ruoshui came back to his senses and said: Western Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. Everyone in the world knows that our dynasty has formed an alliance with it. It is just a plea agreement and a false entrusting snake. Our dynasty has not added a soldier to the Navy camp, so how can we attack this statement
As soon as this said, the tent suddenly became silent
The battle has reached this time, and most of Chu Mingtang's aides were as clear as a mirror. The 100,000 troops stationed in Southern Qi was completely groundless, but no one dared to say it. After all, this news came from the commander of Chu.
Chu Mingtang was about to refute
Chu Zheng spoke first behind him: But we have reported that Qi State has stationed 100,000 troops by the river. Moreover, according to the report of our generals, the battles in the past few days have lasted more than 100,000 Southern Qi troops encountered.
Xiao Ruoshui stared at Chu Zheng: Mr. Chu is indeed extraordinary and his words are sharp, but what you met was the reinforcements led by Prince E. The navy camp has always had only 55,000 naval troops.
Chu Zheng smiled at Chu Mingtang: Father, according to Lord Xiao, it seems that we got the fake news.
Chu Mingtang smiled and said: What Lord Xiao said, we will investigate strictly. If this is true, our court will send those people to Prince E.
Chu Zheng almost laughed, and couldn't help but think in his heart that the world has always been the most respected by the strong. Although you have the right to do this in the Southern Qi Dynasty, how can you be patient with me?
Everyone in the Southern Qi suddenly looked ashen
At this time, Wang Mingyuan, deputy commander of the Southern Front Camp, hurried in, gave a gift to Chu Mingtang, walked up to him, and said softly in Chu Mingtang's ear:
The emperor has an imperial edict
