The sound of the annunciation came from far and near, from the noon gate to the Fengtian gate, and then to the three major halls, and then to the three major halls as the center, gradually spreading to the surroundings, and in an instant, the Forbidden City was lively again.

"What's up outside?"

With such a big movement, how could Chongzhen in the hall not hear it, at this moment, he had already stood up, straightened his ears and wanted to hear what was going on outside.

The hundred officials also turned around in unison, and they all leaned their ears outward.

On the side of the imperial steps, the little eunuch Sixi could understand it, and as soon as the emperor asked, he shouted excitedly: "Jinzhou sacrificed prisoners, beheaded more than 6,000, and none of them faked!" ”

"More than 6,000 beheadings, none of them fake?!"

Suddenly, Chongzhen felt that his heart was about to jump out, his cheeks twitched involuntarily a few times, his throat swallowed up and down a few times, and his face was both incredulous and joyful.

The temple was also boiling, and more than 6,000 people were beheaded, and none of them were fake, how could this news not make them excited.

Zhou Yanru was even more happy, and laughed with He Rupet and other cronies. As the first assistant, Jinzhou has achieved such a great victory, and it is genuine, he Zhou Yanru should laugh heartily. The one who commands well and is the first to make the merit will abandon him.

In the midst of boiling, Xiong Mingyu and Liu Dexia both walked into the hall one after the other, and before anyone arrived, the voice had already sounded: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy, the Ministry of War has verified that more than 6,000 Jiannu have been beheaded in Jinzhou!" In addition, the slave chief Golden Dragon Banner was a pole, and more than 180 slaves were captured to Beijing! ”

"Good, good, good!"

Hearing the final decision of the military department, the excited Chongzhen no longer knew what to say, and at this moment, there were no words to describe the joy and excitement in the heart of this young genius. If it weren't for the respect of the Son of Heaven, all the officials would be in the hall, but I was afraid, Chongzhen would have jumped up with cheers.

It's been four years, four whole years, since he ascended the throne, Chongzhen hasn't been really happy, even when he excludes Wei Biao, he hasn't really been happy.

He didn't understand why his father and brother left him not a peaceful and prosperous world, but a mess full of disasters and difficulties.

For the sake of his ancestors' inheritance, he always reminded himself to be a good emperor, and for this reason, he worked as hard as Emperor Taizu. However, bad news came one after another, and in the past few years, his young heart has been tormented by too many misfortunes.

Once, the young Son of Heaven believed in the overseer who spoke loudly, but this overseer repaid him with the army of Jiannu.

From that day on, he no longer trusted anyone, he only believed in himself. One year, two years, two whole years passed, Chongzhen, who thought he could work hard, was exhausted by internal and external troubles.

The repeated defeats outside the gate made him suspicious and afraid, and even he had begun to hide and numb himself.

Now, he can finally let go of his big smile, this day, like the people of Jingshi, has waited too long. [~]

Victory, big victory!

The dust fell, Jinzhou really achieved a great victory, and the courtiers did not lie to him!

The laughter of the Son of Heaven resounded in the hall without any scruples, floating in the air. This is a kind of catharsis and an emotional outburst that has been suppressed for a long time.

Compared with the reaction when he first heard the good news, the current Chongzhen can be described by another person. At that time, he was also excited, but more doubtful, unbelieving, and afraid; Now, it's down-to-earth, it's exciting, it's extremely exciting

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

Zhou Yanru took the lead in kneeling, and in an instant, the ministers suddenly knelt down and let out a chorus.

Chongzhen, who was in a state of excitement, forgot to tell the hundred officials to get up, until he coughed with laughter, and then remembered that the hundred officials were still kneeling, and hurriedly waved them to get up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ministry of War has confirmed the great victory in Jinzhou, with more than 6,000 beheadings, such a big victory, do you say, do you want to go to Taimiao to worship the ancestors and ancestors?"

"On the 24th day of the fourth month of the 27th year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong, the sacrifice of Japanese prisoners was completed. The chief priest, Xiao Yuefeng, the tycoon, led the left and right attendants out of the class. Long and majestic, Ye Ye is mighty. When I went to the Imperial Noon Tower, I was in the morning. Xiao knelt on the royal road, and the two waiters sandwiched him, and the head was only elbow. The speech first stated the official rank, name and surname, and the left and right attendants, and asked the prisoner to be beheaded. Sueyun: 'Go to the city of Cao to be executed, please order.' 'Where there are hundreds of words, the words are loud and soothing. After the announcement, prostrate yourself. The word 'scoop away' was passed on by the pro-family. The courtiers have not yet heard the voice, and the left and right relatives are connected, and the two are four. but with sound, and eight and sixteen. crescension, thirty-two. At the bottom, there are 360 Han generals, and the unison should be like thunder. This kind of realm can be described as an extremely grand event in the Xi Dynasty."

The one who came out of the class was Li Changgeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a member of the Donglin Party. Chongzhen was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in April of the second year, and he is an old master of nearly seventy this year. The old master replied, quoted scriptures, and talked about it, but he moved out a prisoner sacrifice ceremony of the Wanli Dynasty, which made people can't help but look at the memory of this old master.

But Chongzhen frowned when he heard it, feeling that this old master was talking nonsense, helplessly, this Li Changgeng was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he was old, so he couldn't scold him, so he could only listen to him talk endlessly.

"Quoting the "Daming Huidian" and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites thought that the emperor would not only go to the Taimiao Temple to worship, but also expose the world at noon!"

Finally, after the excited Lord Li finished what he had to say, he exhaled with great satisfaction, and looked at the emperor with a smile that his ears were calloused.

"Well, since the Ministry of Rites agrees, I'm approved." Chongzhen is neat and tidy, he has the intention to use this Jinzhou victory to boost the morale of the upper and lower levels, the Ministry of Rites said that it would be a big deal, and he naturally agreed, even if it costs more, it is worth it. After all, this is the first real victory that Daming has achieved since he ascended the throne, and it is by no means a great victory that is to be blown about by beheading more than 100 levels.

"The military department can have an order, the Jinzhou battle, the soldiers of Lai brave, only to have this great victory, I feel the loyalty of the soldiers, we must reward the meritorious soldiers, so that the three armies know the meaning of compassion. Oh, yes, Liaofu Qiu He Jiajie reported that the battle of Jinzhou could be won, all because of the commander Shi Dayong's good command and the three armies working together, in order to attack the Dongyu, if it were not for Shi Dayong, I am afraid that Jinzhou has already fallen. When the Ministry of War draws up a reward, it can't chill the hearts of the soldiers, and it must be rewarded for this great bravery. ”
