The civil and military officials listened attentively, as if shouting...... Wan Sheng? It seems to be ...... Banzai?

After getting a little closer, many people heard clearly "the great victory of the grassland, the Ming Dynasty annihilated 40,000 enemies, the great victory of the grassland, the extermination of the Chahar tribe, and the great victory of the grassland......"

Generally, the messenger will shout along the way to report the victory, so that the people who hear it along the road will be happy and promote the prestige of the Ming army.

The noise I heard just now was not only from the Forbidden City, but also from the sound of the people outside the Forbidden City cheering.

"What, Prairie Victory?" The official who was close to the temple gate looked incredulous, thinking that he had heard it wrong!

When his colleagues heard this, they were convinced that they had heard correctly, and replied: "It seems that it is said that 40,000 enemies will be annihilated, and the Chahar tribe will be exterminated!" ”

……

While they were whispering, the messenger was getting closer and closer, and at last, under the guidance of an attendant, hurried over. All the civil and military officials immediately focused their eyes on the messenger.

This time, the messengers came not just one, but six. I saw the messenger in front of me, holding the good news in his hand, and the five people who followed him were holding five boxes.

When they went up to the front of the palace, the six messengers knelt down and reported loudly: "Lin Dan Khan's troops invaded my border pass and killed my border people, and the governor of Yansui was ordered to go on an expedition, encircling and destroying nearly 40,000 Chahar troops, and seizing countless cattle, horses and sheep......"

Civil and military officials, whether they know the soldiers or not, know one thing, when did the Ming Dynasty have such great results in the war against the Mongols? Listening to the messenger's announcement, they always felt that it was impossible! On the steppe, won't the Mongols run if they can't beat it?

The expressions on the faces of these people present were almost all surprised, or surprised. There are even some civil officials who think in their hearts, could it be that the emperor did not hesitate to let the governor of Yansui lie about his military exploits in order to protect those treacherous people?

When the first messenger had finished speaking aloud, he handed over the report with both hands, and his attendant took it.

The second messenger raised his hands and said loudly: "Lin Dan Khan's head is here!" The chamberlain on the side immediately stepped forward and lifted the lid, revealing a head.

"What, it's really Lin Dan Khan's head?" When many civil officials heard this, they were surprised, and they couldn't help but stretch their necks to look over, wanting to see clearly, what was Lin Dan Khan, who was born in the golden family, like? I think that back then, Daming sent people to see Lin Dan Khan, wanting to work together to deal with Jianyu, but this Lin Dan Khan ignored it and asked for a price, so that he had the prestige of the Mongolian Great Khan, and now he is already a dead man?

At this moment, he saw Cheng Jiming play loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister will test it on the spot!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but have a sneer on his face, and at this time, he still wanted to die and struggle, just like you wished, so that you could die: "If you want to test it, anyone else who has seen Lin Dan Khan can go to the test!" ”

Hearing this, in addition to Cheng Jiming, there were three other civil officials, and a military general had seen Lin Dan Khan before, and immediately went up to verify.

"How's it going, can it be fake?" Emperor Chongzhen saw them whispering in front of the head, so he snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, the last general is confirmed!" The general was the first to respond.

However, the three civil officials just replied under Cheng Jiming's eyes: "Your Majesty, it seems to be a little similar, and it is a little different, the minister is incompetent!" ”

There will naturally be a difference between the head that has been stored for many days and when it is alive. Moreover, these officials are not very familiar with Lin Dan Khan, and they can make some sense when they say so.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't bother to pay attention to them, and with a wave of his hand, the third messenger stepped forward: "The head of the prince of the Chahar tribe is here!" ”

"The head of the thief leader Wang Jiayin is here!"

"The head of the thief leader king is here!"

The next few heads are not as heavy as Lin Dan Khan's heads. But even so, Cheng Jiming and the others were not reconciled, and circled around those heads.

The last messenger was a child, a little taller, but at first glance he knew that he was only a teenager at most. The box in his hand was smaller, and he knew at a glance that it was not the first level.

Without waiting for the little messenger to tell him, Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "The heads have all been seen, what else can you say?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this battle exploit is quite strange, and it needs to be verified, so as not to make the people laugh like the war in Liaodong again...... "Cheng Ji is not admitted."

In fact, he already believed it a little in his heart. But if you admit it on the spot, what about what happened before? The emperor is already furious, and he will definitely severely punish the person who initiated the impeachment this time. Not to mention that he covets the position of the first assistant, even the position of the assistant will definitely not be kept.

And if you verify the results of the battle, not to mention who to send, you can delay the time once you come and go, and then find some other reason to delay it, and the impact of the original big victory will slowly dissipate. When that happens, it will be advantageous to talk about it again.

The other civil officials are also human spirits, so why don't they know Cheng Jiming's thoughts, and seeing that they are about to fail, they naturally deal with it like Cheng Jiming, and they seconded it one after another. As for the affirmative opinion of the previous general, they have ignored it.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but sneer, looked at the messenger and nodded slightly. Then the leading messenger immediately shouted again: "Your Majesty, Tashheycesan and Huluk Saisan, the commanders of the left wing of the Chahar Department, have surrendered to me, and are now waiting for the decree outside the palace to ask for guilt!" ”

"Biography!" Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued an order.

When Cheng Jiming and the others heard this, why did they still have living people? Or two left-wing chiefs! This...... How can this be delayed?

You must know that these two left-wing governors are important ministers under Lin Dan Khan, and the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty are mostly entertained by one of the two of them to be introduced to Lin Dan Khan. If it were really these two people, there would be more people who had seen it, and they wouldn't be able to say that they were impostors to their faces!

In fact, as soon as Tashhacesan and Huruksesang appeared in front of them, it was clear from their demeanor that they were definitely in the upper position before. It's just that now he has become humble. They put their posture very low, shouted long live, and called themselves barbarian sinners, so that those who had dealt with them before were relieved in their hearts.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiming couldn't help but lower his head, even if the sweat on his forehead was dripping, he didn't even think to wipe it. At some point, he was suddenly awakened to the noise.

"The jade seal of the country? It turned out to be a jade seal? ”

"No, my regret since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, today I actually saw the jade seal of the country return to my Central Plains!"

"Your Majesty is really destined to return, I should be in the Ming Dynasty, and I have made up for Taizu's regret!"

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

“……”

In this piece of surprise, Cheng Jiming looked at the box held high in the hands of the last messenger a little sluggishly: a jade seal in a boxy, a jade seal with a corner made of gold......
