Chapter 51: Tribulation Field

Ganqing Palace.

When Emperor Chongzhen was reviewing the memorial, the eunuch Wang Chengen, who was writing, came in and reported: "Long live the emperor, Lord Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, was looking for a meeting outside the hall."

Emperor Chongzhen groaned: "Let him come in."

"Sister obeys the order."

Wang Chengen took the order and quickly led Chen Xinjia into the East Warehouse Pavilion.

Chen Xinjia knelt on the ground and shouted long live, but there was no movement behind the imperial case. Chen Xinjia lowered his head and looked up secretly. Emperor Chongzhen was frowning and continuing to review the memorials. It was obvious that his anger was not gone. Wang Chengen next to him was also constantly winking at him, signaling him not to speak nonsense and add fuel to the fire.

Chen Xinjia felt really aggrieved and helpless, and couldn't help but sigh silently. Why is this really hard?

Wang Pu acted like a scoundrel who was not afraid of boiling water, but Chen Xinjia had to wade into this muddy water. Whether Princess Changping could marry Wang Pu smoothly was related to the face of the imperial family. Moreover, this incident was entirely due to a word from Chen Xinjia. If he could not settle this matter, he would not have a future and his career would be ruined, and he would have lost his life.

It was not until almost noon that Emperor Chongzhen finished the memorial and stood up and said, "Chen Xinjia."

Chen Xinjia quickly climbed forward two steps and responded respectfully: "I am here."

Emperor Chongzhen asked with a dark face: "If you don't go to the Ministry of War to handle the work, will you kneel here all morning? Is there anything wrong?"

Chen Xinjia quickly reported: "Long live, I have important matters to report."

"speak."

"Long live, Datong General Wang Pu drank a few more drinks last night because he was happy, so he lost his composure in public and talked nonsense. However, in the morning, I had already scolded him severely. General Wang also knew that he had committed a tremendous crime and was quite repentant..."

"Where is Wang Pu?" Emperor Chongzhen said coldly, "Why didn't he come to apologize?"

"This..." Chen Xinjia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and said quickly, "General Wang is of low rank and is worried that he will not be able to enter the forbidden palace, so he asked the Wei minister to apologize for his crimes."

"I don't care about these." Emperor Chongzhen said coldly, "The Empress Dowager will hold a family dinner in Cining Palace at noon today. I want Wang Pu to give Ru'er, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager to explain in person, hum!"

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen left.

Wang Chengen next to him wanted to keep up, but Chen Xinjia gently pulled the hem of the robe and said softly: "Please stay, father-in-law."

Wang Chengen shook his head and said unabashedly: "Mr. Chen, it's not that our family talks about you. You are also a second-rank official. Why are you still so unpredictable when speaking? Wang Pu clearly has married a wife in Jiangnan. How can you tell Master Wansui that he hasn't married yet?"

"Oh my father-in-law." Chen Xinjia said anxiously, "When Xiaguan told the emperor of Wansui, Wang Pu was indeed unmarried, but who knew that this guy would be blown into Jiangnan by a hurricane, and would marry a fireworks woman from Jiangnan as his wife. Hey, Xiaguan regrets this, don't mention it..."

Wang Chengen shook his head and sighed: "This General Wang looks very smart, but why is this so brainless?"

Chen Xinjia looked around and asked in a low voice: "Dadonald, I want to ask you, what is the attitude of Wang Pu refusing to marry in public?"

"What's the attitude?" Wang Chengen glanced at Chen Xinjia and said sharply, "Mr. Chen, haven't you seen it yet? Let's tell you this. If General Wang can achieve good things with His Royal Highness, then there will be nothing. But if this matter is bad, Wang Pu's life will not be guaranteed. Lord Chen, your Minister of War, will be the end of the year."

"ah……"

Chen Xinjia's face turned pale and he sat on the ground with his butt.

■■■

Wang Pu's account.

Chen Yuanyuan already knew what happened last night. She was crying so hard that she was kneeling in front of Wang Pu and begging: "My husband, it's not worth it for me to offend Master Long Live for me. My husband, you should leave me, I beg you..."

Wang Pu stroked Chen Yuanyuan's delicate face with tears, and said softly but firmly: "Yuanyuan, listen, you are my wife, now, from now on, forever! Since I have married you, since I have accepted you from my heart, no one can force me to leave you, so long live the emperor, no one can do it!"

Chen Yuanyuan was moved and anxious when she heard this, and she cried: "But..."

"Nothing but." Wang Pu gently pressed Chen Yuanyuan's jade lips with his thumb and said seriously, "I, Wang Pu, will never sacrifice my woman for glory and wealth!"

"Um."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded vigorously with a crying voice.

At this moment, the closed curtain was suddenly lifted open. Wang Pu turned around and saw Scarface stumbled in. He shouted in anger: "General... General, no... not good..."

"What's wrong, scarface?" Before Wang Pu asked, Xiaoqi, who followed, had already asked, "What's wrong? Has the Lord Long Sui sent someone to capture the general?"

At this time, Zhen Youcai, Chang Yanling and Li Zushu also went into the bill one after another, and his face changed when he heard this.

Scar took a deep breath, tried his best to stabilize his tone, and said, "No, it's a big... a big beard!"

"Big Bearded!" Wang Pu stood up quickly and shouted sternly, "Are he still alive for the big bearded?"

"Well, the bearded man is still alive!" Scarface nodded vigorously, and then said something terrifying, "But I'm about to be slashed."

"Strike and ask!" Wang Pu's expression suddenly became ferocious. He grabbed Scar's clothes and shouted sternly, "Why?"

"I don't know." Scarface shook his head and gasped, "The villain saw him being taken to the entrance of the vegetable market. He heard the onlookers say that he was about to be executed at noon and asked."

"Three o'clock in the afternoon?" Wang Pu's heart skipped and asked, "What time is it now?"

Zhen Youcai narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky and replied, "It's almost noon."

"Damn it, there's no time!" Wang Pu shouted sternly, "Scarface, immediately summon brothers and rob the court of law first!"

"Ah?" Chang Yanling said in a lost voice, "Brother, you are not wrong, robbing the law is a rebellion."

Zhen Youcai also said: "Yes, General, you can't rob the Dharma field. Even if you want to rob the Dharma field, you can't go there yourself. Just let Scarface or Xiaoqi take people there."

"No, I have a gold medal for avoiding death, but Scarface and Xiaoqi don't. Besides, they may not be able to suppress the decree!" Wang Pu said, "And we are not going to rebel, we just go to save people. What kind of person is the bearded man? Don't others know that we still don't know? He fled back to western Liaoning to cover our breakout from Shengjing! He was wronged!"

"But if the general does this matter really, it will be difficult to explain it clearly afterwards?" Zhen Youcai said anxiously, "And you have not settled the matter of refusing marriage in public last night. If you are involved in this matter, isn't that a mess? General, calm down, you must calm down now."

"Can't calm down!" Wang Pu shouted loudly, "I will never watch the bearded man ask for helplessness!"

Scarface, Xiaoqi and others' eyes suddenly became hot. In order to save the bearded man, Wang Pu even dared to rob the law field. After following such a commander, his life is worth it! Chang Yanling and Li Zushu's eyes when he looked at Wang Pu also changed. They were both moved and worried. Wang Pu's affection with his soldiers touched them, but his actions made them very worried.

In fact, Wang Pu didn't say anything. He was afraid that he would scare Chang Yanling and others. The sentence was, "Things really are irreversible. At worst, they can turn against Beijing and become bandits." Wang Pu was not a Confucian scholar in the late Ming Dynasty who was stupid in studying Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism. He was never a loyal minister and good general.

When Wang Pu turned around, he saw Scarface still standing still, and couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Scarface, why are you still being stunned here? Hurry up and summon people!"

"yes!"

Scarface suddenly agreed and took the order.

In less than a moment, more than two hundred servants were summoned by Scarface. Wang Pu picked up fifty servants from them. Just as he was about to leave the camp, a group of great Han generals surrounded an eunuch and hurried into the camp. The eunuch was holding the imperial edict and wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns, which was obviously of high quality.

When the eunuch saw Wang Pu, he shouted from afar: "The imperial edict has arrived, and Datong general Wang Pu received the edict."

Wang Pu ignored him and turned over and headed straight for the camp gate. Now, the big things didn't save Big Beard's life! In order to create a chance for Wang Pu and more than a thousand servants to break through, Big Beard would rather take fifty servants to die. If such a good brother is not saved, it will be difficult to tolerate!

After being charged with disobeying the order, Wang Pu believed that with his great achievements and the gold medal of avoiding death in his hands, things could still be saved, but if he missed the third hour of noon, he would never be able to save his bearded man’s life and death! As the same goes, Wang Pu would never sacrifice his brother to exchange for his future. If he really did that, he would be no human.

Fifty riders followed up one after another. Amu, who was stunned, fell to the end, suddenly turned around and said, "My general has something urgent to do, but now he has no time."

"What, I'm not available?"

The eunuch who sent the order almost fell down and ate his shit. When he got up again, Wang Pu had already taken his fifty cavalry servants away. The eunuch who sent the order was also considered an old man in the palace, but he had never seen a person like Wang Pu in his life, and he had no time to accept the order? What urgent matter? What urgent matter can there be? Can a big thing be greater than the imperial edict of Long Live?

Isn't this asking for death?
