Chapter 794: Even this is worth reporting to me
Ning Yu was listening to a man's report in the room.
"...The latest news from the northwest the day before yesterday said that after the defeat at Luanling Pass, Altan Khan was preparing to lead a large army to attack us. Datong was under martial law, and the brothers in the city could not pass on the news. However, the brothers outside the city discovered some clues..."
The man lowered his head respectfully, not daring to look at the fairy-like face, but he could smell a refreshing fragrance at the tip of his nose, and he didn't know where it came from.
"Hmm?" Yuanyang snorted coldly. The man realized that he was distracted and continued quickly, "It is said that Altan Khan is going to go south directly. Jiang Qingzhi dare not stop him. If things go wrong, the capital will become a dangerous place. They asked us to prepare. If Altan Khan's army..."
"Okay." Ning Yun interrupted the man, "The victory report has reached the capital, and the commander Jiang Qingzhi also arrived in the capital today. These words..."
Ning Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, and Yuanyang sneered, "They are all useless people, and they even said that Jiang Qingzhi didn't dare to fight. In addition, is there any unusual movement on Zhao Quan's side?"
The man said, "Before Datong was completely put under martial law, a brother reported that there were some unusual movements in the city, but they could not find out."
"Zhao Quan is under the protection of Altan. Altan is not a good person. Zhao Quan must give him corresponding rewards. There will definitely be actions in this battle." Ning Yu's eyebrows were more gloomy, "It's a pity for those followers."
Since Jiang Qingzhi returned victoriously, Zhao Quan's actions in Datong City were bound to fail.
"Yes." The man said, "If the Saint was here, maybe it would be different."
"I'm here?" Ning Yu thought carefully and wondered what would happen in this battle if he was in the northwest.
Cooperate with Altan's army to march south?
Ning Yu shook her head. They were a foreign race and she would never join forces with them no matter what.
Then we can only wait for the opportunity.
For example, if Jiang Qingzhi was defeated and the northwest was in chaos, she could take advantage of the situation, gather the followers and form an army, and then...
Altan's army is approaching the capital, and the two sides are fighting. I can be a fisherman.
Ning Yu was fascinated.
"A fight has started." Someone outside exclaimed.
But it is more of a joy to watch a show no matter how big the event.
"Who is it?" someone outside the door asked.
"It's...it's Long Wilbur!"
Ning Yu was startled. "Is it him? Shouldn't he be at home?"
Ning Yu pushed the door open, walked to the fence and looked down.
Jiang Qingzhi and Zhu Xizhong were fighting with several men. Zhu Xizhong was the first to fight and was hit in the face. He was then pinned down by two men. However, the old playboy refused to avoid them because Jiang Qingzhi was behind him.
Jiang Qingzhi’s fighting style is very unique, that is, fighting in a mobile manner.
You punch me and I dodge, you kick me and I dodge. Just when you retract your fist or kick, he will pounce on you and punch you in the face, leaving you with a big bruise.
Seeing the old playboy being besieged, Jiang Qingzhi roared like a tiger and rushed over, picking up a stool and hitting him on the head.
The man fell down with his hands covering his forehead, and Jiang Qingzhi and Zhu Xizhong teamed up to knock down the last opponent.
The two brothers laughed side by side and looked at the guests provocatively.
"Who else?" Jiang Qingzhi picked up a pot of wine, put one foot on the bench, and drank it.
"This is just like a powerful person who bullies men and women!" Yuanyang was surprised.
Ning Yu suddenly burst out laughing, "It's either like or it is."
"Stop beating her, stop beating her." The madam was trying to make arrangements but refused to persuade her.
A manager who had tried to persuade them earlier was kicked down. He was still groaning, covering his legs and twitching his cheeks from time to time.
Someone said sarcastically: "Chang Wei Bo's battle is world-famous. Everyone thinks that the famous general of the Ming Dynasty should be as elegant as his predecessors, such as Li Weigong and others, but at least he should be polite and gentle!"
From ancient times to the present, the people most admired by literati are not the brave generals, but the Confucian generals.
"But when I saw him today, I was shocked. He is not a famous general at all, he is clearly... a scoundrel!"
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
"Jiang Qingzhi, I'm not done with you..."
Li Qing woke up slowly, holding his forehead which was bleeding and swollen like a hill, and vowed to make Jiang Qingzhi pay the price.
Jiang Qingzhi walked over.
The sarcastic voice continued, "You beat your Majesty's relatives today, but you're going to beat your Majesty's children and grandchildren tomorrow? Tsk tsk! This courage is really amazing. Then the day after tomorrow, you're going to..."
"But what do you want?" Brother Yin Yangguiqi spoke from behind the crowd. When he looked up after hearing the voice, he saw the sole of the shoe getting bigger and bigger in front of him.
Bah!
Jiang Qingzhi kicked the weird guy in the face, and when he withdrew his foot, the guy's face was no longer look good.
He took a puff of the drug smoke, exhaled the smoke, and asked, "Who else?"
As his eyes turned, everyone avoided his gaze.
"This person... can actually make these powerful people silent?" Upstairs, Yuanyang couldn't help but sigh.
Ning Yu held the railing and smiled, "He is coming back with power. Whoever stands in his way will be in trouble. These powerful people are the best at seeking benefits and avoiding harm. They thought Jiang Qingzhi wanted to take out his anger on his rivals, but who would have thought that he wanted to provoke the entire circle of powerful people."
"How brave!" Yuanyang's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Isn't he afraid that those powerful people will turn against him? Even if there are ants, an elephant will die. Besides, he is just one person."
"One person?" Ning Yu shook his head. "Under Jiang Qingzhi's command are generals like Wang Yiqi, warriors like Zhang Da, and disciples of the Mohist School... and the former Prime Minister Xia Yan's assistance... This man is becoming more and more powerful. Unless these powerful people have a deep hatred for him, who would make enemies with him for no reason? At most, they would stab him out of the blue when they see that he is in trouble." "Who is that man?" Yuanyang asked, pointing at the man whose face was almost flattened by Jiang Qingzhi's kick.
The servant beside him said, "That man is the brother of Qiu Luan's concubine, and he has been quite appreciated by Qiu Luan recently."
"Isn't Qiu Luan in hiding?" Yuanyang was puzzled.
"It is said that there are suddenly many more guests in the Marquis' Mansion today, so this person jumped up and down."
"No wonder. There are so many more people in the Marquis' Mansion..." Yuanyang whispered, "Miss, those people may have bad intentions!"
"Jiang Qingzhi has returned to the capital with great momentum. The emperor will certainly use this momentum to do something. Jiang Qingzhi will also take advantage of the situation to expand the power of the Mohist School in the court. As one grows, the other shrinks. Jiang Qingzhi gets more power, and those people will naturally have fewer. In the end, it's still dog-eat-dog."
Ning Yu said contemptuously: "The emperor needs Jiang Qingzhi to stir up trouble in the court, so why would he be suspicious of him! Those idiots are expecting the emperor to suppress him. How foolish."
"Miss, wouldn't Jiang Qingzhi become more powerful if this were the case?"
"As Jiang Qingzhi becomes more powerful, the Yan Party will bear the brunt. Secondly, as the Mohists become more powerful, the Confucians will certainly not let it go. Just wait and see, the capital will probably become even more lively from now on."
"But... even those people couldn't do anything to Jiang Qingzhi!"
"It was a different time. At that time, those people felt that Jiang Qingzhi was not a serious threat, so they did not join forces. Later, when they realized it, they chose a leader...Xu Jie."
Ning Yu smiled, "That Xu Ge Lao was good at forbearance. After being pushed out, he had to deal with the Yan Party and Jiang Qingzhi. This great victory shocked the world. If it were so, it would be fine. Do you know why Jiang Qingzhi came to Baiyun Tower to fight today?"
Yuanyang glanced at Jiang Qingzhi, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking down on others. He was a little dazed, "Is it... to vent your anger?"
"No, it was to defile himself." Ning Yu looked at Jiang Qingzhi deeply, turned around and walked towards the room, "No reward for great merit, but if no reward, how can we show that rewards and punishments are clear? So he came to Baiyun Tower to fight on the first day after returning to Beijing. Look at his momentum, it is clear that he wants to make this matter known to everyone, which is to say..."
"Come and impeach me if you have the guts!" Yuanyang understood.
Those old prostitutes knew Jiang Qingzhi's intention, so no one wanted to be the first to do it. Otherwise, they would be beaten for nothing. Jiang Qingzhi had done a great job to protect himself, so at most he would not be rewarded or punished, but he would become a laughing stock.
They are all thousand-year-old fairies, who are you trying to fool?
The dignitaries remained silent.
The weird guy who came forward had some of the air of a nouveau riche, and felt that his brother-in-law...even if his sister was just Qiu Luan's concubine.
The man was suddenly valued by Qiu Luan, and he was in high spirits. He then thought of what his sister always said.
——If it weren’t for the thief Jiang, the Marquis would have soared to the sky long ago.
What a deep hatred this is!
So this guy came forward, and then got what he wanted.
Jiang Qingzhi walked away.
The weird guy was carried to the Marquis's Mansion. Qiu Luan and Yan Shifan had just returned home separately. Seeing this, he became angry and asked, "Who did this?"
Yan Shifan always invites him to drink, and the number of guests who came to his house in half a day today is more than in the past two years combined... Qiu Luan's popularity has soared, and his spirits have become even higher.
"My Lord, it's Jiang Qingzhi!"
The followers who followed Brother Yin Yang Guaiqi looked at the Marquis expectantly, waiting for him to speak up on behalf of Brother Yin Yang Guaiqi.
Qiu Luan clenched his fists, then suddenly relaxed his whole body, stomped his feet, and walked away.
"Master Hou! Master Hou!"
At this moment, a concubine in the palace did not know that her brother had been beaten by Jiang Qingzhi. She was muttering to someone, "My family said that Jiang Qingzhi once said that the world has suffered from scholars and officials for a long time, and they should be suppressed. This boy is really arrogant. However, he has made a great contribution this time, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will be bewitched by him..."
Another concubine came to visit. Both of their families had vested interests, and they gritted their teeth when they mentioned Jiang Qingzhi.
"He is trying to fish in troubled waters."
"The key is your majesty!"
"He is here to see the Emperor today, and I don't know how His Majesty will treat him."
"At least there is no reward, which shows that His Majesty is also hesitant."
In Yongshou Palace, the Taoist priest had just finished his meal and was taking a walk to digest the food.
"His Majesty!"
Lu Bing is here.
"Is there something urgent that brings you to the palace so late at night?" asked Emperor Jiajing.
Lu Bing glanced at Emperor Jiajing and saw that he looked calm. He wondered if Jiang Qingzhi... His Majesty was not going to reward him?
Is this suspicion?
Lu Bing suppressed the secret joy in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Qingzhi and Duke Cheng went to Baiyun Tower and had a fight, seriously injuring several officials and almost crippling another person."
If Emperor Jiajing was suspicious, he would reprimand or even punish him... and offset the reward.
Lu Bing held his breath...
waiting.
"not dead?"
"not dead."
"Is this even worth reporting to me?"
