Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 259 Excited Wang Hua
Cabinet. When the cabinet received the Xinantang report, the three cabinet elders were stunned, their faces were stiff, and they even lost control of their expressions.

This is also possible? This can also win?

Could it be that the two uncles of the Zhang family are really military geniuses?

At the beginning, Emperor Hongzhi went against the public opinion and sent Zhang's uncle to the southwest. Who didn't privately think that this was a stupid move?

Logically speaking, if you say that the two uncles of the Zhang family won a victory in the southwest, any person with a brain would think that this is absolutely impossible!
But it really happened!
The three cabinet elders looked at each other in bewilderment. Xie Qian spoke with difficulty, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Li, what do you think of this?"

Li Dongyang was silent for a moment, and said, "Qian Yue inspected Guizhou for several years and still failed to win the war. It is impossible for Zhang's uncle to win."

Liu Jian suddenly asked, "The one who was the Jinshi in the Ministry of War? The one who was just promoted to the chief clerk?"

After Liu Jian said this, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian thought it was even more outrageous!

……

In the Zhanshi Mansion, Wang Hua packed up the documents in the duty room and prepared to go off duty.

These days, he, as a father, has been worried. There is no news from the southwest, and he goes to the Ministry of War every now and then to inquire about Wang Shouren's news.

As a father, who doesn't worry about his son?

Three months have passed since Wang Shouren left the capital last year, and there is still no news. How can he not be worried?

He even began to feel vaguely regretful now. If he had known earlier, he should not have believed Chen Ce's nonsense and should have opposed Wang Shouren's going to the southwest no matter what.

After all, he is... just a child!

Where is the ability to lead troops to fight?
A colleague found Wang Hua who was about to leave his post and sighed, "No news yet?"

Wang Hua shook his head.

Shen Cheng, Zuo Yude of the Zhanshi Mansion, said helplessly: "Old Wang! I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when Shouren went to the southwest, you, as a father, should have refused."

"He is young and easily deceived. How can you not resist the temptation when you are old?"

"Yes, I understand you. After all, as a father, who doesn't want his son to have a promising future? But the southwest is a battlefield, and the battlefield has no eyes. Even if we take a step back, don't you know what kind of character the two uncles of the Zhang family are?"

"If a war really breaks out, what command authority does Wang Shouren have? Can this war be won with these two unreliable uncles? Unless your son is the reincarnation of Huo Qubing, sweeping across the northern desert at the age of seventeen."

"But is it possible?"

Wang Hua was already worried, and after hearing what Lord Shen said, he became even more anxious. He was afraid that his son would die in the southwest, and then he would regret it.

Why was he so bewildered at that time that he believed Chen Ce's instigation?
"So...what should we do now?" Wang Hua asked Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and offered a suggestion: "In my opinion, you should directly write a letter to Wang Shouren, asking him to claim illness and return from the southwest as soon as possible."

"If he's still alive."

"If this continues, sooner or later I will die in the southwest... Haha, meritorious service? You are not still thinking that Wang Shouren can make meritorious service, are you? The prerequisite for meritorious service is that he can win this war. Do you think it is possible?"

Wang Hua shook his head slightly.

At this moment, an official from the Zhanshi Mansion came over and asked with a smile, "You guys heard about it too?"

Wang Hua and Shen Cheng looked suspicious and asked, "What did you hear?"

The official from the Zhanshi Mansion said, "The southwest has won the battle. The news has just been reported to the Ministry of War... Weren't you just talking about the southwest military affairs? I thought you all knew about it."

"The army has returned victoriously and is on the way. It will arrive in the capital soon."

puff!
Shen Cheng spat out a mouthful of tea and stared at this colleague in the Zhanshi Mansion in a daze. What? Southwest won? Shit! Doesn't that mean Wang Shouren will reward people for their merits?
If I had known earlier, I would have let my son go to the southwest to gain some military merit!

How could this be? Old Wang, you are so unfair. How could your son win in the southwest?

This, this, this...it hurts!

Wang Hua was also stunned. It took him a long time to react. He patted Shen Cheng excitedly and asked, "Old Shen, did my son win the battle?"

know.

Shen Cheng's face twitched slightly.

"Haha! Good, good! He is right indeed. My son should have gone to the southwest. He has saved himself many years of detours! I must thank him, thank him very much for his recommendation."

Ok?
Who are you thanking? Who recommended your son? No, what do you mean, Old Wang? Hey, who recommended your son? Can you introduce him to me so I can get to know him?

……

Sophora japonica alley.

Wang Hua excitedly found Chen Ce holding a beautiful gift.

Seeing Wang Hua's flushed face and excited smile, Chen Ce guessed that the result of Southwest should be out, so he asked with a smile: "Southwest won?"

Wang Hua nodded heavily: "Win! Thank you, Master Chen, for recommending Wang Shouren to go to the southwest. If he comes back this time, he will definitely be promoted."

Chen Ce breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Shouren had indeed won a victory in the southwest.

Wang Hua hurriedly handed the gift in his hand to Chen Ce and said, "Please do not refuse these meager gifts. They are just a token of my appreciation."

……

Qin Hong has asked the Ministry of Revenue to pilot commercial tax in Weinan County, Shaanxi Province. When encountering some problems in practice, he still has to seek advice from Chen Ce.

When he was leaving the palace, he, the Minister of Revenue, also heard the news of a victory in the southwest, and his shocked expression was exactly the same as that of the three cabinet elders.

Similarly, Minister Qin did not believe that the useless uncles of the Zhang family could win the war in the southwest.

The chief clerk of the Ministry of War? This is too outrageous. The emperor has the courage to use a Jinshi who has just entered the officialdom.

That’s all, but he actually beat me?
But what Qin Hong couldn't understand was, who would recommend a newly-minted Jinshi and a newcomer to the officialdom to the emperor?

His father, Wang Hua of the Zhanshi Mansion? As long as the father is not a fool, he will not let his son fall into danger, right?
If it wasn't Wang Hua, who would have the courage to recommend Wang Shouren? And would the recommendation be successful?

Qin Hong was a little confused, but after all, it had little to do with him.

He is now more concerned about the commercial pilot in Weinan County. He has encountered some problems in practice, such as how to collect taxes based on profits for small vendors? For example, how to regularly check the taxes of large merchants? Although Chen Ce gave him a general direction, there are still many problems in practice that he cannot figure out.

While Qin Hong was thinking, he had already arrived outside Chen Ce's courtyard.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard a conversation in the yard.

"Thank you, Master Chen, for recommending Wang Shouren to go to the southwest..."

Hearing this, Qin Hong was stunned. What did it mean that Master Chen recommended Wang Shouren to go to the southwest?
He recommended the new Jinshi of the Ministry of War? Qin Hong stiffened a little after hearing this. This was too unbelievable!

Who is this guy? How many unbelievable things has he done behind the scenes?

Qin Hong stood outside the door, dumbfounded for a moment.
