Chapter 2065: Great Victory in Yilibali
The hot summer makes people feel annoyed, and they just want to find a cool place to hide.
The Ming Dynasty was scorching under the scorching sun in the north and south. No one was willing to work, and no one was willing to do hard labor. Those shopkeepers who hired people had to pay high prices with bitter faces, otherwise no one would pay attention to them.
Jin Ying was very excited because the workshop had already produced steel. According to Zhu Fang, the material of this steel could surpass the Ministry of Industry from Beiping to Xuanfu.
So he took a steel ingot and rode into Beiping City to ask for an audience with the emperor.
The palace was also hot. As he was led in, Jin Ying raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat from time to time. The steel ingot was tightly held by him and was covered with a layer of sweat.
There was no one in the Qianqing Palace. The weather was too hot. The emperor was impatient to work in it, so he directly got an ice basin and enjoyed it in the warm room.
Jin Ying was waiting outside. When the person inside came out, he glanced and saw that it was Zhang Fu, so he smiled.
Zhang Fu was happy to have a son, and he was so happy that he posted all over the world recently, saying that he was going to hold a banquet.
The emperor was very considerate. Zhang Fu looked like he had been rewarded.
Zhang Fu nodded slightly and walked away.
Feeling cool after entering the warm room, Jin Ying bowed and held out the steel ingot.
Yu Jia felt sweat on his hands. He frowned and asked someone to bring a handkerchief to wipe it dry before putting it on the small table next to Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the steel ingot and said, "The workshop has finally made it. There are many things needed in various places in the Ming Dynasty. Since I promised you not to use the craftsman registration, it will naturally depend on the effect..."
Zhu Zhanji just glanced at Jin Ying, and Jin Ying began to break the stone in his chest.
"... If I can't beat the Ministry of Works, I will jump into the furnace and leave no bones..."
Zhu Zhanji was naturally not very interested in this statement. He nodded and showed a little approval, which made Jin Ying excited. When he left, he said that he must keep an eye on the craftsmen when he returned and wait for the Ministry of Works to assign tasks.
Jin Ying left the palace with great confidence. Along the way, he chatted with the eunuch who escorted (monitored) him out of the palace, and asked him about many new things in the palace.
"... When the prince cried, the whole Kunning Palace was shaking!"
"... The imperial concubine is pregnant again,
Tsk tsk! The rewards will be like water, and the whole palace is watching. If she gives birth to a prince... Hey! Why are we talking about these things!"
The eunuch glanced at Jin Ying. If it were in the past, Jin Ying would definitely kick him in the ass.
But a phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken. Jin Ying is now an "outsider".
Since losing to Yu Jia in the competition for the position of the chief eunuch beside Zhu Zhanji, Jin Ying's life in the palace has not been easy. He has made many moves for this, and his purpose is just to worry that Yu Jia will take advantage of the situation to kill him.
So he was almost a pauper after leaving the palace. The accounts of the workshop were recorded very clearly, with a dedicated person in charge, and no one was given face, so Jin Ying had no way to start.
Seeing Jin Ying's awkward expression, the eunuch snorted in contempt.
The two were almost at the palace gate. Jin Ying knew that he had broken the rules, so he gritted his teeth, took out a banknote and handed it over.
The eunuch took the banknote, looked at it, and then sneered softly.
Five hundred coins!
Five hundred coins is a large amount in the palace, but for these eunuchs, it is just a thing to send beggars.
Jin Ying's face flushed, and he casually bowed and left the palace gate, feeling that his life was meaningless from then on.
Another sneer came from behind.
This is bullying!
Jin Ying regretted it a little. According to the rules, if he didn't get any information, he naturally didn't need to give any benefits.
Curiosity is embarrassing!
"Great victory! Great victory!"
Two dusty cavalrymen galloped over.
They gradually slowed down on the street of the six ministries. People from each ministry came out to watch. Among them, the most people were from the Ministry of War, and they helped the cavalrymen dismount and trotted towards the palace gate.
"In the battle of Beshbalik, Wuen was killed, Pugu was beheaded, a great victory..."
"Our army rushed a long distance, conquered Turpan in one battle, and defeated the coalition forces in another battle, and built a Jingguan outside the city of Beshbalik, a great victory..."
Jin Ying quickly dodged to the side, and someone in Chengtian Gate behind him shouted: "Quick! Some people come, carry the victory report in!"
The joy was overflowing, and those in Chengtian Gate couldn't even wait, and rushed out against the rules, and then snatched the victory report from the hands of the people in the Ministry of War, and ran inside happily.
"Great victory, great victory in Yilibali..."
The so-called victory report means that the good news needs to be spread all the way, and the stricter ones have to report it when passing through larger towns.
So when Jin Ying left the imperial city, he saw that there was more joy on the street
"Who said last time that Xinghebo was demoted? Ah! Who?"
"Look, Xinghebo is going to kill the enemy, where is Yilibali?"
"Behind the original Wala and Tatar, I heard it's very fierce."
"..."
Winning the battle means that the Ming Dynasty has one less external threat, so the people are naturally happy.
When someone is happy, there will naturally be someone else who is worried.
"He is not... demoted."
Two men in blue shirts stood outside the imperial city, watching the soldiers guarding the gates happy, watching the people happy.
But they were a little depressed!
"Yes, it has been said for a long time that he and the King of Han went to the frontier, but we don't know where to attack. Now it seems... they said that Yilibali is irrelevant, so it is even more difficult to understand your majesty's intentions."
"Your Majesty is going his own way, which makes people sad! That Fang Xing is the number one minion. The most hateful thing is that some people actually agree..."
"Those people pride themselves on being poor and happy, saying they can support their families... Since ancient times, chaos has mostly appeared internally first!"
"Fang Xing is coming back. He must be traveling day and night to come back. Those idiots have been working in the south for a long time. They must be scared when this news gets passed..."
"This is not something you can avoid if you are afraid, so... let's see, I guess they still want to see..."
…
"Huanhuan, your father won another battle and will be back soon."
Behind the Immortal Residence, Mochou was fanning Huanhuan's bed for a nap.
Huanhuan, with his eyes closed, turned over and faced inside, muttering: "Mom, I'm afraid."
Mochou said helplessly: "That's your dad, what are you afraid of? Your dad even brought you things and hugged you."
"Afraid!"
Huanhuan turned over and awkwardly hugged Mochou's legs.
Mochou touched his head and said softly: "Your father is a hero! When you grow up, you should learn from your father..."
Huanhuan squirmed, but she didn't want to get close to Fang Xing, her father.
The number of guests in the Shenxian Juli outside was gradually decreasing. Brother Yao frowned and looked at the accounts, and soon he became impatient.
In the afternoon, a carriage entered Beiping City.
The carriage rumbled, and Bird Tongue opened the curtain and took a look at the bustling street.
"Girl, do you know anyone in Peiping?"
A woman was sniffing in the carriage.
Que Tan said blankly: "I don't know..."
The mother-in-law sighed: "Girl, Peiping is so big! If we don't know anyone at the emperor's feet, the road sign will say "Looking for a relative!" I didn't run away if I was caught."
Queji was a little panicked and said, "Why don't you go to Qiu Qiuxing and Bota?"
The mother-in-law was speechless, thinking that you were originally from Leji, and if a beautiful woman went to ask to see Uncle Xinghe, would there be a fire in his backyard?
"Girl, please find a safe inn to stay in first. Wait for me to find it."
Que Toi nodded and warned: "It should be in the Ministry of Punishment. I'll ask you about it then and get the money to use it."
The mother-in-law nodded, but she sneered in her heart.
In her opinion, Yang Yan was already dead. After Queshi deregistered his nationality and followed him to Beijing, this was clearly a demonic obstacle and nothing good could happen.
