Dajing, the fifth year of Yongxi, May 1st, 3:45 in the morning.
In the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the Forbidden City, people were bustling.
According to the rules, the court was divided into the Grand Court and the Regular Court.
The Regular Court referred to the morning court and the afternoon court.
Only officials of the third rank and above in Beijing needed to attend.
The royal family and noble dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and men were qualified to pay homage.
The Grand Court referred to the emperor receiving congratulations from his ministers in the main hall on New Year's Day, the winter solstice, and the day of the great celebration.
Usually, there were less than 300 people participating in the morning court, but today there were nearly 1,000 people. This was already the standard of the Grand Court, which caused a lot of discussion among the ministers.
""Go to court!"
A sharp shout interrupted the noise of the ministers, and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids surrounded Emperor Yongping and came.
""Your Majesty!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed.
Wearing a golden winged crown, Emperor Yongping wore a ochre-yellow round-collared, narrow-sleeved dragon robe. His high cheekbones made people feel cold when they saw him. He walked straight up from the left side of the Danbi, sat down on the dragon chair, looked down, and said lightly:"My lords, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials then stood up, retreated to the sides without raising their heads, and knelt in their seats one after another. The whole hall was filled with solemnity.
"In April this summer, the Khalkha tribe of the Mongolian desert invaded the border from the south, and the Jurchen Tatars of the Later Jin Dynasty mobilized 300,000 troops to attack Ningjin."
"The fierce fighting in Japan has lasted for a month. The battle in Datong Town is intense. Liaodong Town has lost Jinzhou and is trapped in Ningyuan."
""Do you have any opinions?"
Emperor Yongping spoke in a deep voice with a blank expression on his face.
As soon as the words fell, all the civil and military officials in the hall felt a jolt in their hearts. This was the biggest problem the country was facing at the moment.
One hundred thousand Mongolian cavalrymen went south, and Yuan Congyi led the 12 regiments of the capital and no less than 200,000 soldiers from Datong Town. They thought it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, General Zheng Keshuang of Pingbei was seriously injured and dying. The morale of the Dajing army was low, and they retreated to the city for a time and struggled to hold on.
In Liaodong, Feng Xifan, the general of Liaodong, attacked rashly and died in Daling River. Tens of thousands of soldiers died, Jinzhou fell, and only Ningyuan was left to guard the Liaoxi Corridor. Even if there were 50,000 soldiers from the founding camp and 50,000 soldiers from Jizhen to support, they were facing 300,000 vicious Jurchen Tartars. The situation was precarious. No one was optimistic about Liaodong, and they only thought that it was a matter of time before Ningyuan was broken.
"I have so many loyal ministers and generals in my great Jing, but there is no one in the court who can relieve my worries?"
Even though Emperor Yongping knew about the victory in Liaodong in advance, he couldn't help but feel angry when facing a group of ministers who kept silent. The emperor, the ruler of a country, was treated like a transparent person. Was he just a figurehead, or did he look down on him?
"Your Majesty!"
"I think the Khalkha tribe of the Mongolian army from the northern desert has come from afar and after a month of fighting, the food they brought has been consumed and they will withdraw soon."
"By then, the danger of Datong will be resolved."
The Minister of Personnel and Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion Zhang Tingyu, who was standing on the left side of the hall, came out first and said,"The biggest problem now is in Liaodong."
"Three hundred thousand Jurchen Tatars are preparing for war, and what they want is definitely not just a Liaoxi Corridor"
"I think if Ningyuan is lost, Shanhaiguan will be in danger."
"Your Majesty, I think what the Minister of Personnel said is very true. We should send more troops to Shanhaiguan."
The second-highest civil official, the Minister of War, Wei Dongting, then said:
"" I agree with you."
All the officials followed suit, as if they had all ignored the founding lineage that was in the middle of a fierce battle.
Among the military commanders, Qiu Liang, the commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division and the first-class general of Jingtian Houfu, stood up suddenly and angrily rebuked the officials:"Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?"
"The general who conquered Liao is still fighting hard in Ningyuan, and Ningyuan has not been lost, but you are now wondering whether Shanhaiguan will be taken away by the Tartars."
"The 100,000-strong army of the Beijing Camp and Jizhen, and the hundreds of thousands of civilians of the country in the Liaoxi Corridor, were abandoned by you."
"Are you officials of Dajing or Houjin?"
"General Qiu is wrong."
Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, said righteously:"For the sake of the country, the loss of Ningyuan is inevitable. It is a waste of effort to continue to increase troops at this time. Once Shanhaiguan is lost, 300,000 Jurchen Tartars will march straight in, the capital will be in danger, and the country will be overthrown. Who will be responsible at that time?"
"That’s right!"
""Master Fu is right!"
Many officials spoke out in support.
This was because Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was not only a civil servant, but also a disciple of Prince Yi Zhong. He was a direct opponent of the founding dynasty and wished to see all the founding nobles die in Ningyuan. How could he want to send more troops to support the army?
"You bunch of bastards!"
Qiu Liang and the generals and officials of the founding dynasty were all furious, spitting foul language.
For a time, the entire main hall of the Qianqing Palace was noisy, and Prince Yi Zhong's disciples and the founding dynasty were almost on the verge of a fight.
Emperor Yongping, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a gloomy face.
His fourteenth brother really did not miss the slightest opportunity.
If he gave up the Liaoxi Corridor, the people of the country would curse him as the emperor who lost his land.
By then, could Emperor Yongping still sit on the dragon throne with peace of mind?
Most of the others were ministers of the retired emperor. People like Zhang Tingyu and Wei Dongting were like Maitreya Buddha, and they did not care about anything that did not concern them.............
At the same time, in the capital, outside the Xuanwu Gate, a Jinyi Army cavalryman was galloping on his horse, holding a small silk flag with words on it, fluttering in the wind.
"Victory in Liaodong, 800 miles!"
"The imperial army has defeated 300,000 Jurchens!"
The resounding voice came from the Jinyi Army, echoing throughout the city from Xuanwu Gate.
Wherever they passed, the people were all excited and watched the Jinyi Army enter the palace with their own eyes.
"His Majesty!"
"Liaodong sent a proclamation to report victory!"
Su Peisheng, the head of the palace of Qianqing Palace, could not hide his excitement and trotted into the palace to report.
What? A proclamation to report victory?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongping on the dragon throne could no longer sit still and was shocked.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, only when the generals in the army won a great victory could they send messengers to the capital with a proclamation full of victory texts. No one could stop them along the way, and they had to provide horses, dry food and clean water.
Since the founding of Dajing, there has never been a proclamation to report victory. What did Liaodong do?
All the civil and military officials present heard it clearly, even Zhang Tingyu, who was pretending to be a wooden man, had a gleam in his eyes.
"Quick! Quick pass it on!"
Emperor Yongping could not hide his excitement and raised his hand to signal
"Yes."
Su Peisheng went out of the hall to greet him without saying anything.
All the civil and military officials in the hall were staring at the gate.
"Step..."
A moment later, a soldier covered in dust and looking exhausted entered the Jinluan Palace and was about to salute.
"No need to be polite, report quickly."
The anxious Emperor Yongping immediately interrupted him and said
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Jinyijun took out a bamboo tube sealed with beeswax from his bosom and held it high:"The report from the General of the Liao Expedition and the First Earl is here."
"On April 28, our army went out of the city and fought fiercely against the Jurchen Tartars. The Dragon Guard Lieutenant Jia Xuan led his army to attack from the rear, shot and killed the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty Aixinjueluo Yinzhen with one arrow, and beheaded the Prince of the Later Jin Dynasty Aixinjueluo Yinxiang in battle. Three thousand Dragon Guards cooperated to kill and completely wiped out 300,000 Jurchen Tartars."
"The remaining Jianzhou Jurchens surrendered to the imperial court under the leadership of Aixinjueluo Yinzhen. The memorials and messengers have returned to the imperial court with the army."
""The Later Jin Dynasty is destroyed! What a blessing for Da Jing!"
Boom!!!
Instantly, the whole hall was in dead silence. Everyone was stunned, some of them couldn't believe it.
In the Battle of Ningyuan, Da Jing actually wiped out 300,000 Jurchen Tatars with an army of 100,000. Even the Khan and the prince of the Later Jin Dynasty were killed. How could this be possible?
"His Majesty"
"It was just that the enemy chieftain was killed, and the Later Jin still existed. The General of the Liao Dynasty actually said that the country would be destroyed. I ask that the General of the Liao Dynasty be punished for deceiving the emperor!"The sudden words of Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, attracted the attention of all civil and military officials.
"I ask that the general who conquered Liao be punished for deceiving the emperor!"
Many officials from Prince Yizhong's school echoed him.
"You guys?!"
All the founding nobles were furious. Such a great victory was unprecedented, but someone actually lied with open eyes. How could this be tolerated!
However, before they could make a move, Emperor Yongping had already taken a step forward. On the imperial platform, overlooking the officials below, he said with a fake smile:"Su Peisheng"
"I'm here!"
Su Peisheng, the eunuch in the Qianqing Palace, held out a report at some point and said loudly,"On the first day of April, Jia Xuan, the Dragon Guard, personally led 3,000 Dragon Guards out of Gubeikou, through the south of the desert into the Khorchin grassland, and defeated the Balin and Khorchin tribes."
"Hundreds of Khorchin nobles and their wives were captured, and the two tribes submitted a letter of surrender."
"On April 15, Jia Xuan, the captain of Longxiang, rushed to Shengjing at night, annihilated the eight banners of Manchu, Mongolian and Han, and captured 1,300 people including the princes, nobles and concubines of the Later Jin Dynasty. The Yehe, Hada and Huifa tribes of the Haixi Jurchens submitted a letter of submission and sent envoys to Beijing."
"At present, the captives from the Mongols and the Later Jin have been guarded in the imperial prison by the Jinyi Army, and all the seized items have been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"The Later Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, and the threat from Liaodong has been eliminated."
Boom!
This remark sounded like thunder in the hall.
The officials under Prince Yi Zhong, led by Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, were all dumbfounded.
No one noticed that in the corner, Jia Zheng, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, had his mouth wide open, so wide that he could swallow a watermelon.
"The great victory in Liaodong put an end to the threat from the Later Jin border that had plagued the Ming Dynasty. This was the most notable victory for our country since the Kaiyuan Period."
"I congratulate your majesty and Dajing!"
Zhang Tingyu was the first to come to his senses, and he shouted with an extremely solemn face.
"I congratulate Your Majesty and Dajing!"
"I congratulate Your Majesty and Dajing!"
"..........."
The civil and military officials in the palace realized it later and came out one after another. Their voices echoed throughout the Qianqing Palace and even spread to other places in the Forbidden City.
Fu Bingcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten dog shit, but he had to follow the other ministers in expressing his views.
"Hahaha!"
"My dear ministers, please stand up!"
Emperor Yongping had never been so happy before, and he laughed out loud.
After four years on the throne, he finally waited for this day. The Later Jin Dynasty was destroyed, which was an achievement that Taizu and Taishanghuang had never achieved. Just for this reason, he was not in vain in his life. There must be a place for him in the Taimiao.
Future generations must respect Emperor Yongping. Dajing was in his hands, and the territory was once again expanded by 3,000 miles. It was brilliant.

"The Imperial Household Department was ordered to reward the army with a reward of one million silver coins and three thousand jars of imperial wine."
"Confirm the time for the army to return to the capital. I will personally go to Deshengmen to welcome the victorious army!"
Delighted, Emperor Yongping issued two imperial edicts.
"Yes."
Su Peisheng, the internal minister of the Qianqing Palace, immediately responded and sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare rewards.
On this day, the news of victory shocked the entire capital, and millions of people were watching. The name of Longxiang Schoolmaster Jia Xuan was resounding throughout the world.
In the past, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Jing Taizu conferred the title of Duke of the Two Kingdoms on the Jia family, which was the best among the nobles in the country. Everyone in Jing admired him.
Today, the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion has another unicorn child, who rushed three thousand miles, subdued the Mongolian tribes in the east of the desert, killed the enemy chiefs in battle, and destroyed the Later Jin. The border troubles in Liaodong that had lasted for more than a hundred years were eliminated, and the world was cleared. How could people in the world not admire him?
More importantly, Jia Xuan was only sixteen years old, even one year younger than Huo Qubing who was conferred the title of Duke of Langjuxu. He is a legend in Chinese history!............
As soon as the news reached the Jia family, Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion were both shocked.
"Mother"
"Happy event, great joy!"
"Liaodong has won a great victory, and Xuan-ge'er is coming back.
Jia Zheng, who had just left the court without taking off his official uniform, rushed into Rongqing Hall in high spirits and shouted:
"Um?"
"You calm down."
"What does the victory in Liaodong have to do with Xuan Ge'er?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but show a puzzled look.
"oops!"
"Come on, come on, go and invite my elder brother and Dongfu Zhen'er and the others."
Jia Zheng couldn't help but rub his thigh and hurriedly called the many maids in the hall.
........
........
Unexpectedly, Yuanyang and the other girls just looked at Grandmother Jia, who nodded, and then left the hall one by one to inform Jia She and Jia Zhen.
Not only the men in charge of the mansion, but also Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing and other female relatives came to Rongqing Hall, each with a confused look in their eyes, and some did not know what was going on.
"Second Brother"
"What are you so anxious about?"
Jia She glanced at Jia Zheng with some dissatisfaction.
"Big Brother"
"This is a great happy event for our Jia family."
"At the beginning of the month, Xuan Geer led 3,000 Dragon Guards out of Gubeikou and traveled a long way to Modong."
"The Balin and Khorchin tribes were defeated successively. The princes and nobles of the two tribes were escorted to Beijing. The remaining tribes submitted to the emperor. The eastern desert was pacified."
"In the middle of the month, Xuan Ge'er attacked the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shengjing, at night, and annihilated the Eight Banners of Manchu, Mongolian and Han people, and captured more than a thousand people including princes, nobles, concubines, and princes."
"A few days ago, three thousand Dragon Guards rushed out from Jinzhou. Xuan Ge'er shot and killed the Khan and the prince of the Later Jin Dynasty with one arrow. He cooperated with the troops of the Beijing Camp, Jizhen, and Liaodong to wipe out 300,000 Jurchen Tartars. The remaining Jurchens have submitted their surrender. The Later Jin Dynasty was eliminated and Liaodong was pacified.
Jia Zheng told all the news in the court today.
‘????’
The entire Rongqing Hall was in complete silence. Jia She and his men, as well as the women in the family, were all dumbfounded.
"Good, great!"
"He is truly our unicorn child!"
The experienced Jia Mu patted the golden lotus pillow on the couch with joy and said hurriedly,"Quick! Send someone to guard the city gate!""
"As soon as Xuan Ge'er returns to Beijing, report to me immediately!"
"There is no need to arrange for the banquet in the East Palace. Let's have a banquet in the Rongguo Palace. I will be the host."
"All the eight families in Ningrong Street who are in financial difficulties will be given 300 taels of silver."
Although Jia Mu was dissatisfied with Jia Xuan's cruel treatment of Jia Baoyu in Rongqing Hall, she was not senile.
She knew that the Jia family had only one person with a resolute mind and complete skills and courage. Now Jia Xuan has made an unprecedented contribution. The whole country is jubilant and will not compete with Jia Baoyu for these things. Instead, the Jia family needs to rely on Jia Xuan.
Therefore, Jia Mu held a banquet in Rongguo Mansion to erase the grudge in Jia Xuan's heart and ease the relationship between the two mansions.
"" Mother is right!"
Jia She and Jia Zheng naturally could not refuse Jia's mother's face, and both of them agreed.
Seeing this, Jia Zhen was happy that he did not have to pay for it himself, and he smiled and said repeatedly:"As you like, old lady."
The expressions of all the female relatives changed, each in a different way.
Mrs. Xing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, with an attitude of indifference and high aloofness. Youshi and Qin Keqing were surprised and happy. They were surprised that the young man was coming back, and they were happy that Jia Xuan would return to the court victoriously and would definitely clean up the family, and the things that shackled them would soon disappear.
Li Wan covered her pink lips lightly with her jade hands, and the shock in her beautiful eyes completely exposed her disbelief, and there were some deeper emotions contained in it, which were not for the people. All I know is that.
Only Mrs. Wang had a look of resentment on her face,"Why hasn't this little beast died yet?"
Wang Xifeng noticed the change in Mrs. Wang's expression and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: What can I do? My aunt has already offended Xuan Ge'er. Once Xuan Ge'er comes back, the rumors will reach his ears, and I'm afraid it will set off a bloody storm.
On the other hand, Lin Daiyu and Xiao Xichun heard the news, and their faces were full of joy. They were all looking forward to Jia Xuan's return to Beijing. And.
