Cao Huachun?

Chongzhen waved his hand listlessly and said, "Let him in." ”

Cao Huachun quickly walked in, trotting all the way, and before he reached Chongzhen, he began to shout happily: "Your Majesty, what a victory!" Your Majesty, Liaodong is a great victory! ”

Chongzhen was stunned, Cao Huachun is an old man who has followed him for many years, unlike those new little eunuchs, who have never been so out of shape, shouting from afar in front of him, at this time, seeing him so excited, could it be that Liaodong Ancestor Dashou and Moli fought a big victory?

At that moment, Chongzhen suppressed the excitement in his heart, and didn't care about Cao Huachun's gaffe, and asked urgently: "Huachun, what is the big victory?" Let's talk about the situation! ”

Cao Huachun came to Chongzhen, bowed his waist and said happily: "Your Majesty, the slave has just received the news that Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, has sent a military report......

Before the words fell, suddenly a shrill voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, great joy!" Great joy......"

Cao Huachun was suddenly quite embarrassed, listening to the voice, he also knew that this was Gao Qiqian, although both of them were in the palace at the same time, and they were both very trusted by Chongzhen, but Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian have never been very opposed, and the reason for this is naturally related to Gao Qiqian's methods. And Cao Huachun also vaguely guessed the intention of Gao Qiqian at this time, which was also the reason why he felt embarrassed.

Because today is Gao Qiqian on duty, so he doesn't need to think of Cao Huachun as Cao Huachun needs to pass before he can enter the house to see Chongzhen, he just stepped into the threshold with his front foot, and saw that Cao Huachun was also there, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with a smile on his face and walked in and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Congratulations, Your Majesty! Liaodong victory! ”

Chongzhen was overjoyed suddenly, Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian came to report at the same time, it seems that this news will not be fake, and he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart at the moment, and said: "Really? I'm talking to Hua Chun about this, so take a look at the military report! ”

Gao Qiqian was busy at this time and respectfully handed the military report in his hand to Chongzhen, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Gonggong Cao also knew the news of this military report, and he rushed into the palace to report the good news before the minions, it seems that Gonggong Cao is faster!" ”

Gao Qiqian said politely, but Cao Huachun heard the squeeze and hidden hostility in it, and was afraid that Chongzhen would be displeased, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is a slave in the East Factory who is sitting in the General Administration Division, and as soon as the soldier report arrives, the slave will naturally know about it." Because it was good news, the slave wanted to let the emperor know as soon as possible, and if there was a transgression, he would ask the emperor to punish him. ”

The Department of General Administration is the central authority for receiving and inspecting internal and external pieces of music and appeals, and usually the newspapers and newspapers from other places are first sent here, and then sent by the eunuchs to the palace for the emperor's approval. And Gao Qiqian is in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he naturally reported the matter of this military report to the emperor, and Cao Huachun can be regarded as overstepping his authority.

Chongzhen was smiling happily at this time, where would he care about Cao Huachun's little matter, and waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." You see, Qiu Hejia soldiers said in the newspaper that Mo Li, the general soldier of the Pingyang bandits, led his troops to Liaodong, attacked the Jin camp in the rain and night, broke the siege of the Tartars, and then stationed in Dalinghe City, and led the troops to repel the attack of the Tartars together with Song Wei and other troops, and the Tartars have withdrawn, and in this battle, my Ming soldiers killed a total of 20,000 Tartar soldiers...... More than 20,000 people?! ”

Chongzhen was stunned when he read this. Kill 20,000 enemies! What is this concept?

Since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming and Jin have been fighting for more than ten years, and the Ming army has always been on the inferior side, and has hardly won any battles, so many Ming troops always flee when they fight against the Tartars. It was the famous "Ningjin Victory" in the history of the late Ming Dynasty and Yuan Chonghuan, and the battle reported by Yuan Chonghuan at that time was only "two or three thousand enemy casualties".

Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian also widened their eyes in surprise, with an expression of disbelief. Kill 20,000 enemies, this is too exaggerated! Could this be that the people below are lying about their military exploits?

In the past two years, because of the thieves, Chongzhen had difficulty sleeping and eating, and ordered the soldiers and horses of the state capitals to suppress the bandits and keep the people safe. In order to cater to the emperor's vision of peace in the four seas, the generals in various places often falsely reported their military exploits, and sometimes they only killed 100 or so exiled bandits, and dared to report them as great victories, so as to coax the emperor to rejoice, and there were even those who killed the good and risked their merits.

These things are not only known to Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian and others, but Chongzhen actually knows a little, but some things are too difficult to investigate and deal with. After a long time, Chongzhen also felt bored.

Cao Huachun only knew that good news had come from Liaodong, and knew that Chongzhen was worried about the war in Liaodong day and night, so he hurried to report the good news, but he didn't know the specific situation of the military report. Although Gao Qiqian received the military report, he only glanced at the beginning and rushed to report the good news, and like Cao Huachun, he didn't know what the situation was.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Gao Qiqian came back to his senses first, and said with a smile: "The emperor is blessed with great fortune, and the soldiers at the border pass are brave and mighty, and they repelled the attack of the Tartars in one fell swoop. ”

Cao Huachun also woke up like a dream, and then congratulated: "My emperor is diligent and loves the people, and the sky can learn from it, not to mention that my emperor is the king of Zhongxing, and he is blessed with all the people, and naturally the country is eternal, and the country's fortunes are prosperous and long!" Your Majesty, great joy! Great joy! ”

I really didn't expect that since the Donglu uprising, Daming has been beaten everywhere, and he almost broke the capital by Dongyu. A few days ago, when the news of the annihilation of Zhang Chun's army came, for a few days, the court seemed to lose its voice, and no one dared to mention half a word, now it's okay, today finally fought a decent victory, beheaded 20,000 at once, it seems that the hard days of the Ming Dynasty are going to survive.

Chongzhen was also full of interest, his spirit was flying, he swept away the gloomy and gloomy look from before, and said with a smile: "Although this Mo Li is a little stubborn, but after all, he still has some ability, he really has never lived up to my high hopes, expelled the Tartars, and it is not in vain that Sun Gebu recommended him......"

Chongzhen said as he continued to read the military report. Suddenly, Chongzhen's face changed greatly, and he slammed his palm on the imperial case, and said with a sudden change of color: "The thief's nature does not change!" The thief nature does not change! ”

Gao Qiqian and Cao Huachun were taken aback, and the bright smile that had just bloomed suddenly froze on their faces, and they hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Chongzhen's remaining anger did not subside, and he slammed the soldier report on the imperial case, and said angrily: "It's just lawless!" Wild! This Moli is a bandit and a traitor! ”

Moli? Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian glanced at each other, and they didn't know why this Mo Li had provoked the Long Live Lord to be angry.

Gao Qiqian was ordered to supervise the army in the Moli army before, and he was somewhat responsible for Moli's affairs, so he mustered up the courage to ask: "Long live the lord, this Moli ...... What's going on again? ”

Chongzhen's eyelids glanced at the soldier's report, and said angrily: "Look for yourself!" ”

Gao Qiqian trembled and picked up the military report, opened it to take a look, looked at it quickly, and his face changed greatly, and he handed it to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun took a look and saw that it was written: "...... In order to survive, Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of the Liaodong forward, decided to lead his troops to surrender to the Later Jin Emperor Taiji on the evening of October 2...... After the attempted surrender, Moli's troops entered Dalinghe City, the Tatars attacked, the city was broken, and it was critical, Zu Dashou and Liaodong General Wu Xiang wanted to surrender again, tied up Moli's wife and wanted to sacrifice to Dolgon, and was killed by the angry Moli in front of the battle......"

After Cao Huachun finished reading it, he only felt a cold sweat on his forehead, this Mo Li was indeed too bold and reckless, killing two chief military officers in a row, is there still a king law in this eye?

Gao Qiqian felt a chill on his back, and before he could think about it, he knelt down and kowtowed again and again, saying, "Your Majesty is angry!" Damn the minions! Damn the minions! ”

Cao Huachun felt strange, this Mo Li committed a crime, what crime did you ask for?

Although Chongzhen was angry, he was also puzzled and said: "Qi Qian, you get up and speak, I am angry that this Mo Li is too bold and reckless, and I don't blame you." ”

Gao Qi didn't stand up when he heard this, and said: "Slave, thank Your Majesty for your forbearance!" Before the minion supervised the army Mo Li went to the river meander to suppress the bandits, he knew that this person was a little unruly, but he didn't expect that Mo Li was so arrogant that he dared to kill two chief military officers without authorization, it was all a dereliction of duty by the minion, and he didn't supervise Mo Li's thoughts and movements, and the slave should die! ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Dive, you get up!" It's not your fault, I don't blame you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Qiqian was like receiving amnesty, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, this Mo Li is arrogant and domineering, and the slave has also heard of it, the slave said a few days ago that this time he went to Liaodong, he did not receive an order from the imperial court to mobilize troops and horses to Liaodong without authorization, and the slave had spoken to dissuade him, but he didn't listen, and the slave had to come back first to report to His Majesty......

"This bandit brute! Last year, he killed Shangguan Liu Tianlu, and now he has killed two chief military officers in a row! What is he when he is himself? Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't succeed! Chongzhen was furious, and said angrily: "I killed the deputy general last year, and I killed the general soldier this year, what about next year?" Are you going to kill Sun Chengzong? And what about the future? Aren't you going to kill me?! ”

"Your Majesty is angry! Such recalcitrant people are indeed guilty of great sin and lawlessness! The minions have the audacity to say that such lawless fanatics must no longer be connived up! Gao Qiqian was originally annoyed that Moli had repeatedly opposed him, and also killed his henchman Lu Chaoji, and repeatedly slapped Chiguoguo in the face, and now this Moli happened to anger Tianyan again, it was a God-given opportunity, how could he let it go?

"Humph! If such fanatics are not dealt with again, where will the law of the land be? In the end, it was brought out by the barbarian, and the stubbornness and arrogance were no less than that of Yuan Manzi! Thinking that when Yuan Manzi killed Mao Wenlong, he was still the Jiliao Governor, he was good, a general soldier of the bandits dared to kill the chief soldier! And he killed two people in a row! It's really blue! Intended to be investigated, Qiu Hejia dismissed the madman Mo from his post and escorted him back to Beijing for trial! Chongzhen said angrily.

"Whoa! The minion is going to prepare pen and ink! Gao Qiqian was secretly happy, hum, look at how arrogant you are this time.

"Grandpa Gao, please wait!" Cao Huachun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the slave has a few words, I don't know if I should say it......

"Say!"
