The jade seal of the country that has been unknown for more than 200 years is in Cao Yue's hands at this time, although he has already known about it in the Tang newspaper, Emperor Chongzhen and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are still shocked and excited when they hear it, and their attention is all attracted.

They all held their breath one by one, their eyes staring directly at the yellow silk package in Cao Yue's hand. Emperor Chongzhen stretched out and retracted his two hands, and finally put them in front of him and rubbed them hard.

Cao Yue could clearly see that Emperor Chongzhen's body was trembling, and his handsome face was flushed.

The silence in the hall was unusual, and even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard.

"Inherit the jade seal, pass on the jade seal, good, great!" Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to control the excitement in his heart, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said to Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in a pitch-changing voice: "Xie Aiqing, Xie Aiqing, quickly, test!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, took the yellow silk cloth bag from Cao Yue's hand, and then untied the yellow silk cloth layer by layer with the same trembling hand, carefully took out the jade seal of the country wrapped in it, and began to carefully screen with the ministers such as Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zhaocheng, the second assistant, Fang Fengnian, Zhang Sizhi and other ministers.

The people who verify the authenticity of the jade seal of the country are all important ministers of the court, and their conclusions are the most authoritative.

After half an hour, after appreciating for a long time and discussing for a long time, several people seemed to come to a conclusion, and everyone looked very excited. Xie Shengcai, who was very excited, carefully knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen with the jade seal of the heirloom country, and played in a pitch-changing voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers have checked it clearly, and the jade seal brought back by General Cao is indeed the long-lost heirloom jade seal. ”

"Okay, great!" Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but high-five each other, the return of the jade seal of the country is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty than the victory of the Songjin War, this is the meaning of God, the Ming Dynasty is in sight, he looked up at the top of the palace, laughed, "It is really the jade seal of the country, the jade seal of the country that has been missing for more than two hundred years has returned to the Ming Dynasty, haha, great!" God Bao Daming! Haha!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"God bless Daming!"

"Your Majesty is only a generation of masters, and the jade seal of the country has been able to return!"

All the ministers stepped forward, knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and patted Chongzhen's ass vigorously, saying that Chongzhen was a generation of Ming masters, not only won the decisive battle with Jiannu, but also got the jade seal of the country that has been missing for more than 200 years. The congratulatory and sycophantic voices of the ministers almost overturned the temple.

And Cao Yue, who brought back the jade seal of the country, seemed to be ignored, and all the ministers knelt in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and took turns to praise Chongzhen for his wisdom, God bless Daming, and Daming Zhongxing is in sight, but no one mentioned Cao Yue, a general who has made great contributions, and no one proposed to reward Cao Yue.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen thought of Cao Yue, and after waving his hand to stop the noise of the ministers, signaling the ministers to get up, and walking back to the throne to sit down, he said loudly to Cao Yue: "Cao Aiqing, you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and I will reward you heavily." Today, I have set up a royal banquet in the palace to celebrate your achievements, and at the celebration banquet, I will announce your reward. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty," although the ministers ignored his existence just now, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but a few words from Emperor Chongzhen made Cao Yue feel better, and he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and said again: "Your Majesty, the minister also brought back the Prince of Li Dai Shan, who is the second son of the wild boar Pinuerhachi, the brother of Huang Taiji, and is very prestigious in the Jiannu country. Does Your Majesty want to be judged by the Temple? ”

"Hmm, take Dai Shan to the temple!" After Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, he immediately ordered Dai Shan to be brought in.

Dai Shan, who had been unloaded from the prison cart, was escorted into the hall by several forbidden army sergeants and forced to be pressed in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

Dai Shan has been tortured to an inhuman appearance, from Shengjing back to Songshan, and then from Songshan to Bei * Beijing, in the past month, Dai Shan has completely changed, and people have lost a lot of weight, and the original arrogance and sharpness have been wiped out.

After being forced to kneel, he didn't try to resist, and knelt in front of Emperor Chongzhen with his body down.

Looking at Dai Shan, who was kneeling in front of him in ragged clothes, looking haggard, like a flower child, Emperor Chongzhen showed a victorious smile, he looked at Dai Shan condescendingly, and asked loudly: "Dai Shan, have you ever thought about today?" ”

Dai Shan raised his head, glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, and immediately bowed down without saying a word.

Seeing Dai Shan's appearance, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be annoyed, got up from the dragon chair, walked down the imperial steps, walked in front of Dai Shan, stood with his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "What, Dai Shan, are you still not convinced?" Shengjing was destroyed, Huang Taiji also died, and the Battle of Songshan was defeated, you should retreat now, right? Hehe, I originally wanted to treat the world with kindness, but who knew that you Jiannu didn't know the height of the sky, and tried to steal the world in vain. ”

Dai Shan raised his head and opened his mouth, wanting to defend a few words, but in the end he chose to keep his mouth shut.

Seeing Dai Shan's appearance, Emperor Chongzhen became more and more proud, and continued to reprimand endlessly: "I tell you today, if you ......"

But at this moment, an accident happened, Dai Shan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly burst out, broke free from the hands of the two sergeants who pressed on him, and threw himself at Emperor Chongzhen, "Lao Tzu fought with you, haha!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who didn't expect such a thing to happen, suddenly stopped, and subconsciously took two steps back, but he didn't have time to react otherwise, and was stunned. At this time, a figure flashed forward and kicked Dai Shan, who was about to pounce on Emperor Chongzhen, out of the distance, and at this time, the two forbidden army sergeants who were originally holding Dai Shan also reacted, rushed forward in a hurry, and held down Dai Shan, who was kicked down.

Of course, it was Cao Yue who had been standing in the hall and kicked Dai Shan to the ground, and he saw Dai Shan's move of raising his head and lowering his head just now, and when Dai Shan looked up, he also saw that he faintly felt that Dai Shan was likely to have bad behavior, so he kept paying attention.

Dai Shan rose up and prepared to raid Emperor Chongzhen, who came to his side, Cao Yue also reacted immediately and kicked Dai Shan away. Cao Yue's skills are very good, Dai Shan is old, after this period of torture, his body is very weak, how can he not resist Cao Yue's kick, he was kicked and flew far away, and he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time, and was finally held down by the two sergeants.

At this time, several more forbidden army sergeants rushed into the temple and held Dai Shan down.

The other ministers were all stunned, no one had ever seen such a scene, and no one could react just now, including those generals. It wasn't until Cao Yue kicked Dai Shan to the ground that several forbidden soldiers rushed forward to hold Dai Shan down again, that they came back to their senses, and several people rushed forward to try to protect Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in shock, glared at Dai Aftermath angrily, hurried back to the dragon chair, and glanced at Cao Yue gratefully. At this time, Shoufu Zhou Yanru stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Daishan vainly tried to attack Your Majesty on the Golden Palace, this is a capital crime. Even regardless of the crimes committed by Jiannu against our Ming Dynasty before, based on this article alone, the minister thought that he should be sentenced to beheading. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal," the second assistant, Wei Zhaocheng, also stepped forward and agreed with Zhou Yanru's proposal.

Followed by other ministers, they also expressed their intention to behead Dai Shan, and no one stood up against it.

If there was no incident of Daishan Dangdian attacking Chongzhen, there may be some people who would stand up and propose to take a gentle approach to Jiannu, spare Daishan's life, and even suggest that Daishan be released to Liaodong.

Seeing that all the ministers asked for the beheading of Dai Shan, Emperor Chongzhen, who was extremely angry, also immediately accepted, "I allow." Three days later, he was sentenced to death at the entrance of the vegetable market, and I wanted him to die with a thousand knives. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Immediately, there were ministers kneeling in the hall and praising Emperor Chongzhen's wisdom and martial arts.

Seeing the ministers say this, Emperor Chongzhen, who was almost scared to death just now, was in a better mood.

But at this time, Liu Zongzhou, the imperial historian of the left capital, stepped forward, raised his knees and knelt down to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that Your Majesty should reprimand Cao Yue." It was Cao Yue who asked His Majesty to declare that he would enter the palace on behalf of Shan, if it weren't for him, His Majesty would not have been attacked just now. Also, Cao Yue actually used force in the palace, this is ...... This move is very inappropriate, if he accidentally injured His Majesty just now, then it will ......"

Hearing this, Cao Yue, who was still expecting more rewards from Emperor Chongzhen for his actions just now, couldn't help but be shocked, and he looked at the civil official like a visitor from outside the world, and wondered if he had heard it wrong. He relieved the siege of Emperor Chongzhen and subdued Dai Shan, who tried to attack Chongzhen, but he didn't expect to be blamed by the ministers of the court. Does he want to see death and not save him, and let Chongzhen be attacked?

What surprised Cao Yue even more was that several ministers stood up and supported the proposal, all saying that they would punish him, and the thrilling scene just now was because of him.

God, who are the people standing in the hall of the Ming Dynasty? How could these people say such a thing? Cao Yue was stunned.

In the end, Cao Yue was furious, and without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's reaction, he counterattacked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what you mean is that the last general should not take Dai Shan prisoner, bring it back to Jingshi, and present it to Your Majesty." His Majesty was in distress just now, and the last general should not come to the rescue, let His Majesty be injured by Dai Shan, is this the intention? If that's what you mean, please explain why you think so!"

Liu Zongzhou and then stood up and asked Emperor Chongzhen to punish Cao Yue's right capital imperial history Li Banghua and the history department Shangshu Zheng Sanjun did not expect that Cao Yue, who was of low grade, would stand up as a palace to fight back against them.

"Bold Cao Yue, there is no qualification for you to speak here!" Liu Zongzhou grimaced and angrily reprimanded Cao Yue.

"Enough," Cao Yue, who was extremely angry in his heart, didn't wait for his face to turn red, and Emperor Chongzhen on the dragon chair spoke, "Cao Aiqing, you saved the car just now, and I will be rewarded." Liu Aiqing, Zheng Aiqing, Li Aiqing, you also have to say no more. The crime of this matter is not Cao Yue, Dai Shan's status in Jiannu is extremely high and his influence is very great, so I should personally inquire about it. Cao Yue made a move in the palace, but he made a move in a hurry, and he had no other intentions, he just wanted to save me, this is an act of loyalty and bravery, and I should be commended!"

After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and others couldn't say anything more, so they had to confess and retreat.

Cao Yue was still indignant in his heart, but he still stepped forward in time to thank him.

Dai Shan has been escorted out, although the interest was a little defeated by the episode just now, but the mood is quite good, Emperor Chongzhen, after a few words of praise to Cao Yue, also immediately announced that he will hold a celebration banquet in the palace in a while, and all the ministers who participated in the court meeting today must participate, and they will not return if they are not drunk.
