"Treasures?" Emperor Chongzhen said happily, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" ”

"Long live, this treasure is ......" Wang Pu said this deliberately, and waited until he had satisfied everyone's appetite before he suddenly said: "Inherit the jade seal of the country!" ”

Heirloom Jade Seal!?

The jade seal of the country that has been lost in the desert for more than 200 years!?

Emperor Chongzhen and the civil and military officials held their breath for a moment, staring directly at the yellow silk package in Wang Pu's hand, if this yellow silk package is indeed the heirloom jade seal, then it can indeed be called a treasure, and it is a peerless treasure! The sudden appearance of the jade seal of the country brought the shock to Emperor Chongzhen and the civil and military officials far better than the capture of the slave chieftain Taiji.

In the final analysis, Huang Taiji is just a chieftain of the tribe, and the jade seal of the country has always been a thorn in the hearts of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!

Throughout the Chinese dynasties, they are very particular about the legal surname of the monarch's heavenly gift, and the jade seal is the physical symbol of the monarch's heavenly gift, you have the jade seal of the country, you are the emperor who is ordered by the sky, if you do not have the jade seal of the country, then you are not the true son of heaven who is ordered by the sky, it is a pseudo-dynasty and a pseudo-emperor to say that it is ugly!

Since the beginning of Hongwu, the jade seal of the Ming Dynasty has been lost.

Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to control the excitement in his heart, and said to Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Xie Aiqing, test!" ”

Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the yellow silk cloth bag from Wang Pu's hand and untied it layer by layer, and then carefully took out the five-inch jade seal of the country, and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Fengnian, Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Cheng Jiming, and the second assistant, Zhou Yanru, Wei Zhaocheng and other ministers began to carefully screen.

Half an hour later, Xie Sheng carefully held the jade seal of the country and knelt down on the danqi, so excited that his voice changed a little, and shouted sharply: "Long live, the ministers have checked it clearly, this jade seal is indeed the jade seal of the lost desert for more than 200 years!" ”

"Okay, great!"

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and the return of the jade seal of the country was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty, and it was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty that was now in turmoil! In the ancient times of feudal superstition, it was easy for people to associate this incident with some kind of "providence", thinking that this was a precursor to the imminent revival of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wang Aiqing." Emperor Chongzhen Long Yan said with great joy, "You have made a great contribution for me and for Daming, tell me, how should I reward you?" What kind of reward do you want? ”

"This ......," Wang Pu chuckled, "This is all long live Hongfu, how can the minister dare to invite rewards." ”

"Hahaha." Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "Say, say it boldly, what do you want?" ”

Wang Pu said: "Really...... Really? ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked around at the ministers and laughed: "Hahaha, Wang Aiqing is still a little embarrassed." ”

The ministers laughed, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became very warm, speaking of which, since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Ming monarchs and ministers have never been so happy, some of the older ministers have even been moved to tears, not easy, the Ming Dynasty finally has signs of prosperity.

Wang Pu took a breath and said loudly: "In this case, the minister said boldly, when Jining cleared the White Lotus demon, let the two captured Jiannu women escape, the minister hopes that Banzai can exempt the minister from the crime of poor care, and the minister also hopes that Banzai can reward all the property that the minister has plundered from Liaodong to the minister's subordinates." ”

Hearing Wang Pu's words, Fu Shuxun, the head of the household department, wanted to go out of class to speak, but he looked at Emperor Chongzhen, who was on the rise, and gave up.

"Yes." Emperor Chongzhen was happy and responded without hesitation, "In addition to these, do you have any other requirements?" ”

This request is changed in normal times, Emperor Chongzhen is absolutely impossible to agree, and if it is not good, he will reward Wang Pu with a reprimand, especially the property that Wang Pu plundered from Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen originally made up his mind to return to the treasury, but now, because Wang Pu has recovered the long-lost jade seal, everything is easy to say.

"It's gone." Wang Pu hurriedly shook his head and said, "The minister has no other requirements." ”

"The jade seal of the country has returned to the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Aiqing has made outstanding contributions." Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, and then said, "I only reward some money, but I am afraid that the people of the world will say that I am a little family, haha, in this way, I will give you a gold medal for avoiding death, and in the future, if you or your descendants commit a capital crime, as long as you take out this gold medal for avoiding death, you can have no worries!" ”

After that, Emperor Chongzhen took off a gold medal from his waist and ordered Wang Chengen to hand it over to Wang Pu.

The ministers were in an uproar, and the gold medal was avoided from death? That's a great honor!

Wang Pu received the gold medal from Wang Chengen's hand, and said happily: "Thank you, Long live the lord." ”

didn't say it, Wang Pu really likes this thing.

"Hahaha." Emperor Chongzhen laughed three times, and then said, "Come on, take Jiannu Chief Taiji!" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly took two steps forward, opened his throat and shouted: "Long live the purpose, take the emperor Taiji......"

The two Han generals who had been waiting outside the hall immediately escorted Huang Taiji to the main hall, although Huang Taiji was already a prisoner, but after entering the palace, he did not kneel and looked calm.

"Huang Taiji, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Although Emperor Chongzhen's voice was not heavy, it sounded like it had a taste of power without anger.

Huang Taiji snorted from his nostrils and said proudly: "I am also the king of a country, why do I need to kneel down to you?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Xie Shengsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, reprimanded angrily, "The barbarians dare to call the country, and the tribal barbarians also dare to claim to be respectful, which is simply a monkey and a crown, and Tian is shameless." ”

"Really?" Huang Taiji indifferently retorted, "Since the Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and my Great Qing Dynasty is just a barbarian, why has the Celestial Empire been beaten by the barbarians in the past few decades to abandon the city and lose the land, and retreat one after another?" The so-called inheritance of heaven's will, the next is in line with the people's heart, I Qing Dynasty Longxing Liaodong, take the Ming Dynasty and have the world is the trend of the times! ”

The head of the cabinet, Cheng Ji, came out and reprimanded: "You Tungusic savages, my Great Tomorrow Dynasty has educated your ancestors, so that you know etiquette and shame, and you know how to farm, fish and hunt, but instead of thinking about repaying your kindness, you turn to the sword and the soldiers, and bring disaster to my Ming descendants, which is simply ungrateful." ”

Huang Taiji said hungrily: "Although the body of the old cow is huge, one day it will die, although the wings of the young eagle are immature, but one day it will fly into the blue sky, and the emerging Qing Dynasty will one day replace the decaying Ming Dynasty and become the new master of the Central Plains." ”

Wang Pu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Just because of the hundreds of thousands of Jiannu in Liaodong, they also want to enter the Central Plains? Do you know how many Han Chinese there are in the Central Plains? Twenty thousand! Even if everyone spits on it, they can drown your hundreds of thousands of Jiannu, you are really a toad yawning, what a big breath! ”

The ministers burst into laughter.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said indifferently: "Hold it down." ”

The two Han generals twisted the emperor Taiji and walked out of the hall, and Emperor Chongzhen asked the ministers again: "The slave chieftain of Jiannu and all Aiqing have already seen it, in addition to being fatter, there is no legend that the three heads and six arms are three feet tall, and they are also two shoulders and a head, and they are also flesh and blood." ”

The ministers burst into laughter again, this is really a happy event, and even Emperor Chongzhen, who has never liked to tell jokes, also made jokes. Chongzhen smiled and said to the ministers: "While there is still some time for the banquet, I want to discuss with you Aiqing, how to deal with the slave chief Emperor Taiji?" ”

"Is this still negotiable?" Wang Pu shouted, "Of course it's a thousand cuts!" ”

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, hurriedly went out of class and said: "Long live, the minister thinks that what Wang Zongbing said is extremely true, and Huang Taiji should be punished." ”

Zhou Yanru, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, also went out and echoed: "Long live, the minister seconded the proposal." ”

Many officials who only looked forward to Zhou Yanru came out one after another, and impassionedly demanded that Huang Taiji Ling Chi be executed, but at this time, Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, came out of the class with his teeth and said: "Long live, the minister thinks that the construction of slaves has plagued my Ming frontier for decades, and has caused countless killings. ”

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Liu Zongzhou paused: "In the past, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty released the Turkic Jieli Khan, in exchange for hundreds of years of peace in the border area, long live, why not follow the example of the sages and repay grievances with virtue?" Long live if you can release Huang Taiji, and then return it to Liaodong with great righteousness, then Jiannu will feel my kindness, and will not face each other with swords and soldiers, and Liao affairs can be put to rest from now on. ”

"Hooray, the minister seconded."

"Long live, the minister thinks what Lord Liu said is not unreasonable."

"Long live, the minister also thinks that Huang Taiji should be released, not killed."

Liu Zongzhou's voice fell, and the imperial historians of the Qing school came out one after another to ask Emperor Chongzhen to release Huang Taiji.

Wang Pu held his forehead with his hand and almost fainted to death on the Jinluan Palace, there are such pedantic people in this world? And one by one they are still serving as big officials in the Jinluan Palace, no wonder they will make the officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty so smoky, and Emperor Chongzhen will also scold before hanging himself: I am not the king of the dead country, you are all the ministers of the dead country.
