563 Good News

The civil and military officials listened with their ears, as if they were shouting... Wansheng? And it seemed... long live?

After getting closer, many people heard clearly that "the great victory in the grassland, the Ming Dynasty annihilated 40,000 enemies, the great victory in the grassland, the great victory in the Chahar tribe, the great victory in the grassland..."

Generally, the messenger would shout for good news along the way, so that the people who heard it along the way would celebrate the Ming army's power.

The noise I heard just now was not only heard from the Forbidden City, but also the sounds formed by the cheers of the people outside the Forbidden City.

"What, the great victory in the grassland?" An official near the hall gate looked incredible, thinking that he had heard it wrong!

When his colleagues heard him, they were sure that he had heard it correctly and replied: "It seems that he would also say that he would kill 40,000 enemies and destroy the Chahar tribe!"

...

Just as they were whispering, the messenger of victory was getting closer and closer. Finally, under the guidance of an eunuch, he hurried over. All the civil and military officials immediately focused their attention on the messenger.

This time, the messenger came not only one person, but six people. The messenger was holding the good news in his hand, and the five people following him were holding five boxes in his hand.

Upon the imperial front, six messengers knelt down and shouted: "Lin Dankhan's troops invaded our borders and killed our border residents. The governor of Yansui was ordered to go out to fight, encircled and annihilated nearly 40,000 Chahar's troops, and seized countless cattle, horses and sheep..."

Civil and military officials, regardless of whether they know the military 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 report, they always felt that this seemed impossible! On the grassland, wouldn't the Mongols run away if they couldn't beat them?

The expressions on the faces of the people present were almost surprised, or suspicious. Some civil officials even thought to themselves, could it be that the emperor was willing to let Governor Yansui liar about military merits in order to protect those traitors?

After the first messenger reported loudly, he submitted a report of the war with both hands, and the eunuch took it.

The second messenger raised his hands and said loudly: "Lin Danhan's head is here!" The eunuch next to him immediately stepped forward, uncovered the lid, revealing a head.

"What, is Lin Danhan's head?" Many civil servants were surprised when they heard this, and couldn't help but stretched their necks to look over, wanting to see clearly what Lin Danhan, who came from the Golden Family, looked like? Back then, the Ming Dynasty sent people to see Lin Danhan and wanted to work together to deal with Jianlu, but Lin Danhan ignored it and asked for a price everywhere. He was so powerful that he was as powerful as the Mongolian Khan. Now he is already a dead person?

At this moment, Cheng Jiming heard loudly: "Your Majesty, I will test it on the spot!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sneer appeared on his face. At this time, he still wanted to struggle to death, just as your wish, so that you could give up: "If you want to test it, you can test it. Anyone who has seen Lin Danhan can test it!"

After hearing this, in addition to becoming a master, there were three other civil officials and a military general who had met Lin Danhan before, so they immediately went up to verify.

"How is it? Is there any falsehood?" Emperor Chongzhen shouted coldly when he saw them whispering in front of the head.

"Your Majesty, the last general is sure!" The general responded immediately.

However, the three civil officials, under the sign of Cheng Jiming's eyes, just replied: "Your Majesty, it seems a bit like it, but a little bit like it. I am incompetent!"

There is a difference between the head level that has been stored for many days and when you are alive. Moreover, these officials are not very familiar with Lin Danhan. There is some reason why they say this.

Emperor Chongzhen was too lazy to pay attention to them, and waved his hand and the third messenger stepped forward: "The head of the Crown Prince Ezhe of Chahar's tribe is here!"

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

"The thief leader Wang uses his own head here!"

The following heads are not as heavy as Lin Dankhan's head. But even so, Cheng Jiming and others are not willing to accept it and turn around those heads.

The last messenger was a child. Although he was a little taller, he could tell at a glance that he was only a child in his teens. The box in his hand was smaller, and he could tell at a glance that it was not a head level.

Before the little messenger could report, Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "I have read the heads, what else can I say?"

"Your Majesty, I think this military achievements are quite strange, and I need to verify them before talking about them, so as not to let the people laugh at it like the war in Liaodong..." Cheng Jiming just refused to admit it.

In fact, he was a little convinced in his heart. But if he admitted it on the spot, what should he do about the previous incident? The emperor has become angry and will definitely punish the person who initiated the impeachment this time. Not to mention that he is coveting the position of chief minister, even the position of auxiliary minister will definitely not be able to be preserved.

If you verify the results of the battle, not to mention who you send, you can delay your time by going back and forth. If you find some other reasons and delay, the impact of the victory will gradually disappear. By that time, it will be very beneficial to talk about this matter.

Other civil officials are also good at humans, so how could they not know the idea of ​​becoming a bachelor? They were about to fail, so they naturally responded to it like becoming a bachelor, and they all agreed. As for the previous affirmative opinion of the military general, they had been ignored.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he couldn't help but sneer and nodded slightly at the messenger. So the messenger led the messenger immediately reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Tashhaisesan and Huluksesan, the left-wing chief of the Chahar tribe, surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, and are now waiting outside the hall to apologize!"

"Biography!" Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued an order.

When Cheng Jiming and others heard this, why did they still have a living person? They are still two left-wing chief executives! How can we delay this?

You should know that these two left-wing chiefs are important officials under Lin Dankhan. The envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty were mostly invited by one of them to entertain Lin Dankhan. If these two people really had seen them, they would not be able to tell lies to each other in person and say that they were fakes!

In fact, when Tashheisen and Hulukseisen appeared before them, they could see from their behavior that they were definitely in the upper hand before. However, they became humble at this moment. They put their posture low, shouted long live, called themselves barbarian sinners, and made those who had dealt with them before feel relieved.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiming couldn't help but lower his head. Even if the sweat dripped down from his forehead, he didn't think about wiping it. At some point, he was suddenly called back to his senses by the noise.

"The Jade Seal of the Kingdom? It turned out to be the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?"

"No, I'm sorry since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Today I actually saw the jade seal returning to my Central Plains!"

"Your Majesty is really the destiny of heaven. It is my revival of the Ming Dynasty, which actually makes up for Taizu's regret!"

"Long live, long live, long live, long live!"

“…”

Amid this surprise, Cheng Jiming looked at the box held high in the last little messenger's hand with a little dull look: a square jade seal, a jade seal with gold to make up a corner...
