Before the noon gate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Lie faced Zhu Youjiao, and almost took out his heart to show the emperor, this Weimo general, who had never had the opportunity to meet Tianyan in his eight lifetimes, never thought that he would have the opportunity to show his demeanor in front of the emperor.

With this mentality, Zhu Lie didn't say anything about it, even if he spoke decently, he was worried that he was wrong.

Zhu Youzhu pointed to the vehicles with Tatar heads stacked in the distance, and asked in surprise, "Is this ...... Are these still small amounts?

Zhu Lie thought about it, compared to the piles of heads like a hill outside the city, these were indeed not too much, and hurriedly saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, it's like this!" The last general will not dare to lie in front of His Majesty! ”

Li Dongyang asked with a smile next to him, "I don't know what this general is called?" ”

Zhu Lie replied respectfully: "The last general's surname is Zhu, and his name is ...... His name is Zhu Lie! I don't know which lord this Shangguan is in the court? ”

Because Zhu Lie had never had the experience of facing a saint, so that he spoke with a rustic atmosphere, lacking the courtiers' gentle and elegant script-style norms, Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said: "Don't ask for the time being, all the ministers will go back to you first, and wait for the Imperial Forest Army to transport the head of the thief!" ”

Li Dongyang originally wanted to question Zhu Lie for Liu Jian, but after listening to the emperor's words, he was also a little annoyed, in his opinion, these generals under Shen Xi were too shameless to even lie and not make drafts.

Returning to the convoy, Zhu Lie waited for the next batch of heads to arrive. Although he has a stupid mouth, he is very bold, if Liu Xu is allowed to face the Holy Brigadier, he will be so frightened that he will tremble, and this time Zhu Lie is also reporting to the emperor on behalf of the entire Qinwang army and horses.

Li Dongyang asked Xie Qian in a low voice: "Yu Qiao, do you believe that Zhu Lie's nonsense?" ”

Xie Qian squinted his eyes and asked, "Bin Zhi's words, how can I reply to you?" I don't want to believe it, but I always ...... That's the soldier brought out by Shen Xi'er, what does Bin Zhi think? ”

Li Dongyang was a little angry, he thought that Xie Qian would think about the problem from the standpoint of the cabinet, but he didn't expect Xie Qian to push and prevaricate on this kind of issue, and actually helped Shen Xi's people speak.

While talking, the third batch of more than 1,000 skulls outside was transported to the front of the noon gate.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War hurried up to do a simple inspection and counting, and the emperor was very happy to see that several carriages carrying the heads had come, and he had rarely had the opportunity to participate in such a large-scale ceremony of sacrificing prisoners since he ascended the throne...... Now, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys of various vassal states, there is nothing happier than witnessing the great martial arts of the Ming soldiers.

Zhu Youzhu was excited, his body was full of qi and blood, and he couldn't help coughing violently a few times, Liu Jian hurriedly stepped forward to advise: "Your Majesty should go back to the palace early!" ”

Zhu Youzhu was a little impatient, why did he keep persuading me to return to the palace? Don't have any other opinions? raised his hand at the moment and said: "Don't be in a hurry, it's all come to this point, I'd better wait for the ceremony to end before returning to the palace!" ”

At this time, Zhu Youzhi was enjoying watching it, and he was curious in his heart, how many Tatar heads were killed by Shen Xi's soldiers and horses, and he didn't leave if he let him go!

Li Dongyang pinched his fingers beside him and counted, this is nearly 8,000 heads, plus the more than 2,000 Tatars captured by Shen Xi, and the Tatar soldiers and horses that Shen Xi defeated have exceeded 10,000, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "According to what Zhu Lie said, it seems that there will be a large number of heads in the future, could it be the head of the battle of the nine gates of the Beijing Division?" Could it be that His Majesty requisitioned those heads over and mixed them into the Shenxi army, in order to show off the prestige of our Ming army in front of the envoys of the vassal states? ”

Li Dongyang didn't believe that these heads were all obtained by Shen Xi's department, so he hurriedly asked Liu Jian, Liu Jian said in a low voice: "There is no matter, the defense of the Beijing division is over, and after the first level is calculated, they have all been buried on the spot, how can they participate in it?" ”

Zhu Youzhu was in an extremely happy mood, and said to Zhu Lie with a smile: "General Zhu, I want to ask you one thing, which battle gains are these more than 1,000 heads?" ”

The emperor asked about his own history of merits, and Zhu Lie was like a cowhide king who opened the chatterbox, and replied excitedly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, this is the Tartar national teacher Yisi Mayin, who led the troops to the Tumu Fort on the same day, suddenly launched a siege battle, but was bombarded by Lord Shen with artillery a few times, and made full use of trench tactics, combined with firearms and crossbows, the Tartars could not get close to the city at all, leaving thousands of corpses, and fled in embarrassment." Originally, I got more heads, but the Tartars dragged some back, so there weren't many heads in this battle! ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded slightly, and hurriedly instructed the eunuch next to him, at this time, he was going to prepare to compare the previous Shen Xijin's meritorious performance to see if it could be confirmed.

As a result, before the merit was delivered, a new herald arrived, and this time the herald's voice was much louder than before, and every shout could cause an uproar wherever it passed: "The fourth batch of Tatar heads, a total of seven thousand four hundred and five, will be transported to the noon gate of the capital!" ”

Hearing this voice, Zhu Youzhu Huo Ran stood up and asked loudly: "How much?" ”

Zhu Lie thought that the emperor was behind his ears, and hurriedly repeated: "Back to Your Majesty, it's seven thousand four hundred and five." Hey, this is the result of a bloody battle in which the Tartar national teacher Yismayin attacked Tumu Fort on the night of October 17, and that night can be said to be dark, and the sun and moon were dark......"

"Enough!"

Liu Jian interrupted Zhu Lie's words that he was about to make a long speech, and said sharply, "A lot of words, it's better to stop in moderation!" ”

After Zhu Lie stopped talking, Liu Jian took the initiative to ask Zhu Youzhu for instructions, "Your Majesty, please re-check the results of this battle!" ”

Because the fruits of the war obtained by Shen Xi's subordinates were greatly beyond Liu Jian's imagination, Liu Jian immediately judged that Shen Xi used the method of falsely reporting merits in this war to obtain more military merits.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao, who was looking at the rise, stood up with his emperor father and protested dissatisfiedly: "Young Master Liu, why do you want to re-examine?" After a while, the first level was delivered, and it was clear at a glance, is it really necessary to re-count? ”

Liu Jian was forced to look at by many ministers and envoys present for a while, and he wanted to say a lot in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth...... He originally wanted to make some inferences, such as that the head was obtained by Shen Xi for killing good people, or that the head was the head of the Tatar to kill the Ming soldiers, and for example, many of these heads were won in other battles and were not the same as Zhu Lie described.

Zhu Youzhi already has a lot of resistance to Liu Jian at this time, and he is unwilling to comply with what Liu Jian says.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Young Master Liu, I know what you mean, Shen Qing's family is young, and it is really a bit ...... to have won such a great meritorious service It's incredible, but he can fight his way out of the Tumu Fort besieged by the Tatars, and lead his troops to relieve the siege of the Beijing Division, he has always been a hero of the Ming Dynasty, even if he wants to re-check, he will wait until all the heads are offered! ”

"That...... Xiong Shilang, the number of heads displayed here is too much, and then a large number of heads will be sent over, so these heads will be sent outside the Zhengyang Gate first, and the Beijing Temple will be built to deter foreign countries! ”

Xiong Xiu stepped forward and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The so-called view of building the capital, is to pile up all the heads on both sides of the road, in order to deter the enemy, this way is not uncommon in all dynasties and generations, especially after the pacification of the thieves, in the battlefield around the city inside and outside the construction of the Beijing view, and hanging the head on the head of the city to show the public has the same effect.

Xiong Xiu's side is still arranging the manpower of the military department to be responsible for the construction of the Beijing Temple, and the next batch of heads has been transported here outside the city.

Transporting more than 7,000 heads at a time, the carriage was almost insufficient, and after his subordinates played with Zhu Lie, Zhu Lie stepped forward and said to Zhu Youzhu on the high platform:

"Your Majesty, there are still a lot of Tartar heads piled up outside the city, but the number of carriages and horses is not enough, so please send a vehicle to the city!"

Zhu Youzhu smiled dumbly, looking at the messy carriage below, indeed, outside the noon gate is almost a hell built of heads, fortunately it is a winter moon day, the weather is cold, and the north wind is blowing, otherwise it is estimated that he will not be able to stay here.

Liu Jian said: "Please give an order to your majesty and let the old minister personally go to check the head!" ”

Zhu Youzhu glanced at Liu Jian, and in order to shut up Liu Jian completely, he nodded and said, "Then it's bothering Young Master Liu, please be sure to check carefully!" ”
