Qin Yunyun nodded: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, I believe they will never be your opponent!"

Chu Ze glanced at her and said softly, "Say less, I want to lead the troops myself this time!"

Qin Yunyun was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty is going to lead the army in person?"

"I want the Mongols to remember this lesson thoroughly!" Chu Ze said calmly, then waved his hand: "You can go back to the palace, I still have a lot of things to deal with!"

Qin Yunyun said no more, bowed respectfully and left.

Chu Ze stood there with a cold look in his eyes, then turned and left after a moment.

At this time, Lu Bing hurried over: "Your Majesty, I have arranged the troops and horses, and we can set off at any time!"

"Very good!" Chu Ze nodded: "Pass on my order, the army will march out tomorrow!"

"I'll arrange it right away!" Lu Bing bowed and quickly retreated.

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian army has set up camp fifty miles away. It seems that they are ready!" Lu Bing walked quickly into the tent and said with a fist.

Chu Ze sat at the desk and said coldly, "Ready? Humph, do they think they can easily break through the border with these people? I want to see how brave they are!"

"Your Majesty, spies at the front reported that the Mongolian army this time not only has a large number of people, but also has extremely sophisticated weapons and horses. It seems that they were well prepared!" Lu Bing continued.

"Excellent horses?" Chu Ze stood up and walked to Lu Bing's side. "I just wanted to see if their horses, no matter how excellent they are, can stop the Ming cavalry!"

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, should we send troops tonight?" Lu Bing asked.

Chu Ze glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't worry, let them sleep a little longer tonight, and let them know tomorrow morning that the majesty of heaven is inviolable!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing responded and stepped back.

At dawn the next day, Chu Ze stood in front of the tent, his eyes coldly scanning the front: "Pass the order, the whole army is ready, today's battle must be unforgettable for them!"

The army quickly assembled. Chu Ze rode on his horse, looking at the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner with a firm gaze.

He waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The Ming army marched towards the Mongolian camp in a mighty manner and soon arrived outside the Mongolian camp.

The Mongolian army obviously did not expect the Ming army to launch a sudden attack, and they responded hastily, with their formation in chaos.

"Kill!" Chu Ze gave the order and personally led the army to charge, with a long sword in his hand, unstoppable.

When the Mongolian army saw the Ming army coming in full force, they immediately became chaotic and their defense line quickly collapsed.

Chu Ze drove straight in and killed several enemy generals with one sword, which greatly boosted the morale of the enemy.

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian army has been defeated!" Lu Bing rode over and reported excitedly.

"Keep chasing, don't leave any one behind!" Chu Ze said coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Lu Bing immediately led the army to continue pursuing the remnants. Under the fierce attack of the Ming cavalry, the Mongolian army was defeated and fled in all directions.

The battle lasted for a full hour, and the Mongolian army collapsed across the board, with countless casualties.

Chu Ze rode on his horse, his eyes coldly scanning the corpses on the ground, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "These barbarians really overestimate their own abilities!"

"Your Majesty, we have won a great victory! The Mongolian army has been completely defeated, and the border is safe for the time being!" Lu Bing rode over and said with a fist salute.

"Well, this time we've taught them a lesson, but don't think they'll just give up!" Chu Ze said coldly, "Order the entire army to count the spoils and prepare to return to the capital!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing accepted the order and immediately went to make arrangements.

After clearing the battlefield, the Ming army set out on the road back to Beijing. When the people along the way learned about the battle, they lined the streets to welcome them and praised them endlessly.

After returning to the capital, Chu Ze immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss border defense and the situation inside and outside the capital.

"Your Majesty, although we have won a great victory over Mongolia this time, I think we still need to strengthen border defense to prevent them from making a comeback!" said the Minister of Revenue with a bow.

"That's right!" Chu Ze nodded. "As long as the border is unstable, the court will not be at peace. We must continue to strengthen our defenses!"

"Your Majesty is wise. I will intensify the defense and ensure the safety of the border!" Lu Bing bowed.

"Also, how is the situation with Prince Huai going?" Chu Ze turned around and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Huai's Mansion has been completely sealed off, and all evidence of collusion with foreign enemies has been obtained. We are currently awaiting further processing according to your instructions!" Lu Bing said.

Chu Ze nodded: "Don't make this matter of Huai Wangfu public for the time being, wait for my personal order before handling it!"

"I understand. I will continue to secretly monitor the movements of Prince Huai's Mansion and not let any news leak out!" Lu Bing responded.

Chu Ze stood up, walked to the front of the palace, and put his hands behind his back: "Although the Mongolian provocation has been repelled this time, the situation in the capital is not optimistic. Prince Huai is just the tip of the iceberg. I want to let those who are secretly doing evil know that the majesty of heaven cannot be violated!"

"Your Majesty is wise. We are willing to serve you till death!" all the officials responded in unison.

Chu Ze waved his hand: "Everyone go down, continue to do your own work, and report any unusual movements in time!"

All the officials left one after another. Chu Ze looked at the empty hall, tapped the table lightly, then turned and walked towards the back hall.

At this time, Qin Yunyun was waiting outside the palace. Seeing Chu Ze approaching, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you should have a good rest after returning triumphantly this time!"

"Rest?" Chu Ze said calmly, "The situation is complicated now, how can I have the leisure time!"

Qin Yunyun said softly: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and I can't do anything. I just hope you can take care of your health!"

Chu Ze glanced at her and nodded gently: "I know my limits!"

As he was speaking, Lu Bing walked over quickly and whispered, "Your Majesty, I just received news that some ministers in the capital seem to have secret dealings with Mongolia. I have sent people to investigate, but have not found any conclusive evidence yet!"

Chu Ze said coldly: "Keep investigating, I want to know who they are!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away!" Lu Bing took the order and withdrew.

Chu Ze looked at Qin Yunyun: "You go back to the palace first, I still have things to deal with!"

Qin Yunyun nodded: "Your Majesty, take care!"

"Your Majesty, the spies I sent out last night have reported back that several ministers were secretly in contact with the Mongolian envoys. The location was chosen to be a dilapidated temple outside the city, and the time was tonight!" Lu Bing hurried in and said with a fist salute.

Chu Ze stood in front of the hall, his hands behind his back, his eyes cold and stern: "Tonight?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the spies are sure that they will meet there, but the other side is very vigilant. Should we send troops to surround them?" Lu Bing continued.

Chu Ze shook his head slightly: "No need to surround them, what I want is to catch them and not alert them.

Send the order down, bring a team of elite soldiers, set up an ambush, and wait for them to gather before taking action!"

"I understand. I will arrange it immediately!" Lu Bing clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Chu Ze stood in front of the palace, his eyes flashing slightly, then he turned and walked towards the imperial study.

Soon, Eunuch Wang came in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has brought you some tranquilizers. He said that you have been too busy with state affairs recently, and he recommends that you take a rest!" (End of this chapter)
