The sound of the good news spread from far to near, from Meridian Gate to Fengtian Gate, and then to the three main halls, and centered on the three main halls, it gradually spread to the surrounding areas. In an instant, the Forbidden City became lively again.

"What's calling outside?"

How could the Chongzhen in the palace not hear such a big commotion. At this moment, he had already stood up and straightened his ears to hear clearly what was going on outside.

All the officials also turned around in unison, one after another leaning their ears outward.

Beside the imperial steps, the little eunuch Sixi understood clearly, and when the emperor asked a question, he shouted excitedly: "Jinzhou offers captives, beheading more than six thousand people, it's a fake!"

"The beheading is more than six thousand, and it's a fake?!"

In an instant, Chongzhen felt his heart was about to jump out, his cheeks twitched involuntarily, his throat swallowed up and down a few times, his face was full of disbelief and joy.

The hall was also boiling, beheading more than six thousand people, if it was fake, how could this news not excite them.

Zhou Yanru was even more happy, laughing with He Ruchong and other cronies there.As the first assistant, Jinzhou achieved such a great victory, and it was genuine, Zhou Yanru should laugh heartily.Those who command well and take the lead in meritorious service will be abandoned.

In the midst of the boiling, Xiong Mingyu and Liu Dexia both stepped into the hall one after the other. Before they arrived, a voice rang out: "Your Majesty, I am overjoyed, overjoyed, the Ministry of War has verified that the Jinzhou victory beheaded more than six thousand slaves! With the golden dragon flag of the slave chieftain, more than 180 slaves will go to Beijing with victory!"

"Good, good, good!"

Hearing the final decision of the Ministry of War, the excited Chongzhen no longer knew what to say. At this moment, there are no words to describe the joy and excitement in the young emperor's heart.If it weren't for the respect of the emperor, all the officials were in the hall, I'm afraid Chongzhen would have jumped up with cheers.

It has been four years, four full years, since he ascended the throne, Chongzhen has never been really happy, even when Wei Xie was removed, he had never been really happy.

He didn't understand why what his father and brother left him was not a peaceful and prosperous world, but a mess full of disasters.

For the sake of his ancestor's foundation, he always reminded himself to be a good emperor. For this reason, he worked as hard as Emperor Taizu.However, bad news came one after another. In the past few years, his young heart has been tortured by too many misfortunes.

Once upon a time, the young emperor trusted the supervisor who spoke big words, but what the supervisor rewarded him was an army of slaves.

Since that day, he no longer trusts anyone, he only trusts himself.One year, two years, two full years passed, and Chongzhen, who thought he could do his best to govern, was exhausted by internal and external troubles.

The repeated failures outside the customs made him start to doubt and fear, and he even started to avoid and numb himself.

Today, he can finally laugh out loud. Like the people in the capital, he has waited too long for this day.

Victory, big victory!

When the dust fell, Jinzhou really achieved a great victory, and the courtiers did not lie to him!

The emperor's laughter resounded in the hall without any scruples, floating in the air.This is a kind of catharsis, but also an emotional outburst that has been suppressed for a long time.

Compared with the reaction to hearing the good news for the first time, the current Chongzhen can be described by another person.At that time, he was also excited, but more doubts, unbelief, and fear; now, he is down-to-earth, excited, and more excited.

[

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

Zhou Yanru fell to his knees first, and in an instant, all the officials fell to their knees and shouted in unison.

Chongzhen, who was in a state of excitement, even forgot to ask the officials to get up, until he laughed so hard that he coughed, and then he remembered that the officials were still kneeling, and hurriedly waved them to get up.

"Dear dear ones, the Ministry of War has now confirmed the great victory of Jinzhou, beheading more than six thousand people. Such a great victory, do you think I will go to the Taimiao to personally sacrifice to my ancestors?"

"On April 27th, Jihai, the 24th year of Shenzong, a Japanese prisoner was presented. The big boss Xiao Yuefeng, a tycoon, led his left and right servants to play. He is tall and majestic, and Ye Ye is powerful. When he goes to the Yuwu Tower, he is in the court. Xiao knelt to drive the road, and the two servants sandwiched each other, the head only reached the elbow. In the speech, he first stated the official title, first name and surname, and the left and right servants, and asked the prisoner to be killed. Mo said: "Let's go to the city for execution, please order." Hundreds of words, the words are loud and slow. After the announcement, I bow down. The word "Take it" was passed on by the superior. The courtiers have not heard the sound yet, and the left and right honored relatives pick it up. Two suddenly become four. There is a sound, then eight, and sixteen Gradually, it was 32. At the bottom, there were 360 ​​generals of the Han Dynasty, and the unison echoed like thunder. This level can be described as a grand event in the Xi Dynasty.”

It was Li Changgeng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a member of the Donglin Party, who answered the class.In April of the second year of Chongzhen, he became Minister of Rites. This year he is nearly [-] years old.The old master played and answered, citing scriptures and classics. Once the phone call ended, he brought out a prisoner offering ceremony in the Wanli Dynasty. People couldn't help but admire the old master's memory.

But Chongzhen frowned when he heard it, thinking that what the old master said was nonsense, but Li Changgeng was a veteran of three dynasties, and he was too old to reprimand him, so he could only listen to him talking.

"Using the "Da Ming Hui Dian" and the records of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites believed that the emperor not only went to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices in person, but also went to the Meridian Gate to reveal the world!"

Finally, the excited Lord Li finished what he wanted to say, he let out a breath of satisfaction, and looked at the emperor with a smile on his ears.

"Well, since the Ministry of Rites agrees, I agree." Chongzhen was straightforward. He wanted to use this Jinzhou victory to boost the morale of everyone. The Ministry of Rites said that it would be a big deal, so he naturally agreed. Even if it costs more, it is worth it.After all, this is the first real big victory that Ming has won since he came to the throne. It is definitely not a big victory that needs to be bragged about by beheading more than a hundred levels.

"The Ministry of War has a policy. The battle of Jinzhou depends on the bravery of the soldiers to achieve this great victory. I feel the loyalty of the soldiers. I must reward the soldiers who have made great contributions, so that the three armies will know my sympathy. Oh, yes, Liaofu Qiu Hejia's victory It is said that the victory of the Jinzhou War was all due to the command of the general Shi Dayong and the unity of the three armies to defeat the Eastern captives. If it were not for Shi Dayong, I am afraid that Jinzhou would have fallen. Shi Dayong must be rewarded heavily for this.”

"Don't worry, your majesty, the Ministry of War has already drawn up a statement."

"Long live, I have a book to play!"

The news of Jinzhou's great victory came more than ten days ago. Although it is not known whether it is true or not, the Ministry of War has still made preparations, and relevant awards have been drawn up.Therefore, upon hearing the emperor's inquiry, Xiong Mingyu hurriedly went out to report, not wanting to finish a sentence, but was interrupted by the second assistant Wen Tiren.

Ok?

Xiong Mingyu glanced at Wen Tiren in doubt and dissatisfaction, not understanding why he interrupted his performance.Chongzhen was also puzzled, not knowing what Wen Tiren was going to do.

"What is Wen Qing's family going to do?"

"Chen Ang, the prefect of Jinzhou, secretly reported that the general of Jinzhou, Shi Dayong, had a strong eye on the court's discipline. He took advantage of the time when the eastern captives invaded the border, robbed Jinzhou of military and political power, and put Chen Ang, the prefect, under house arrest. The gentry and common people in Jinzhou were deeply harmed by it. It is well documented that hundreds of people were indiscriminately killed by the Ministry of Shi during the night of military control. Afterwards, nearly a thousand people died in the Ministry of Shi. It is a pity that the people of Jinzhou did not die of slavery. Hand, but lost at the hands of our own officers and soldiers first, it is really chilling!"

Wen Tiren gritted his teeth, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and finally said loudly, "Shi Dayong is extremely domineering and tyrannical. He has heard that he once drank human blood, cannibalized human flesh, and made human pigs. He is so cruel. How can this kind of beast behave?" People, how can I reward you!"
