Seeing Chongzhen lose his temper, Shi Fenglai hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said with a look of fear: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down. Elder Ge said such heartfelt words for the sake of Daming Jiangshan. Elder Ge has a fair heart, Your Majesty."
Yan Mingtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hurriedly stood up and tried to persuade him.
Chongzhen looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt powerless.
Now, he finally understands why the imperial brother threw everything into the hands of that bastard Wei Zhongxian, and hid himself in the palace to do carpentry work.
It's not that the emperor is unwilling to take care of the government, but that these officials are too shameless.
"Then I ask you, what should happen to the current situation? The Xuan Mansion has been corrupted for thousands of miles, and countless people have been killed and injured. What I want is a serious solution, not to listen to your high-spirited talk." scolded.
The current Chongzhen is just a 16-year-old boy, where is the opponent of these old fritters who have been in officialdom for decades?
The young Chongzhen glared at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but unfortunately, his anger had no deterrent effect.
"Who can tell me, who can have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Chongzhen stood beside the dragon chair, roaring non-stop.
The eunuch Cao Huachun, the supervisor of ceremonies, stood respectfully beside Chongzhen, shaking his head constantly.
"Oh, Your Majesty is still too young to be a match for these people." Cao Huachun sighed inwardly.
At this moment, a small yellow door rushed in from outside the hall.
Cao Huachun had sharp eyes and saw him immediately.
"In the Golden Luan Palace, how can you be allowed to run around? Hurry up and get out of the miscellaneous family." Cao Huachun glared at the little yellow gate and roared angrily.
Now Chongzhen is in a fit of anger, you little eunuch, how dare you run around?Could it be that you have nine lives?
The little yellow gate ran to Cao Huachun's side as if he didn't hear Cao Huachun's voice.
Cao Huachun looked at him, and when he was about to let the big Han general pull him out, Xiao Huangmen leaned close to Cao Huachun's ear and muttered in a low voice.
After a few breaths, Cao Huachun's eyes lit up and his body trembled slightly, "Is what you said true?"
"You little one dares to lie to the ancestors, the knight who reported the news is outside the palace gate."
Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun, then at the little yellow gate, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Cao Huachun was about to tell the story, but when he saw the ministers kneeling on the ground, he dismissed the idea.
"Your Majesty, there is something going on outside, and the slave will go out and deal with it."
Cao Huachun bowed and said.
Cao Huachun is an old man in Chongzhen's hidden residence, and he is deeply trusted by Chongzhen.Chongzhen didn't cherish him, so he waved his hands and said: "Since there is something, then Cao Daban should deal with it quickly."
After receiving the order, Cao Huachun followed Xiao Huangmen and ran towards the palace gate.
"Where is that man?" Cao Huachun ran out of the palace gate, shouting excitedly.
"Old ancestor, that's right there." Xiao Huangmen pointed to the knight standing under a big tree outside the palace gate.
"This is the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, why don't you hurry up and pay a visit?" Xiao Huangmen shouted at the knight arrogantly.
"It's better to go with the miscellaneous family."
Cao Huachun held back the excitement in his heart and rushed directly in front of the knight.
The knight looked at the gorgeously dressed Cao Huachun, knelt down hastily, and took out a bamboo tube sealed with wax from his arms.
"Back to the ancestors, this letter was sent by the eunuch Liu Gonggong, the eunuch of Xuanfu Town, to the ancestors."
Cao Huachun looked at the wax on the bamboo tube, and thought about opening it himself, but then he thought, let His Majesty open it himself.
Cao Huachun's move was to please Chongzhen. After all, in the palace, the emperor's favor was very important.If Chongzhen can be allowed to open this victory report document in anger, it will be tantamount to rain after a long drought.At that time, Chongzhen must be extremely excited.
"You tell the miscellaneous family all the details of the Xuanfu's great victory. If you say something good, the miscellaneous family will reward you a lot." Cao Huachun said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the knight.
"Back to my ancestors, four hundred Tartars were beheaded in the Xuanfu Great Victory. Their heads have been tanned with lime and are being piled up in Xuanfu City. Eunuch Liu has written the specific news in detail in his letter. But the ancestors think that now If you know, the little one will know everything."
"At the beginning of last month, about [-] Tartars broke through the gates of Longmen Fort, slaughtered Longmen Fort, and then headed south directly towards the Xuan Mansion. They burned, killed, and looted along the way..."
The knight paused, and then said: "Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, didn't know what was good or bad, so he was overjoyed. When he saw that there were only [-] Tartars outside the city, he personally led a thousand soldiers to intercept and kill them. But who would have thought that he would be hit by the Tartars?" Zongbing Hou was killed in battle. This is not over yet, after the Tartars defeated Zongbing Hou and others, they led the rest of the troops into Xuanfu before the city gate was closed."
When Cao Huachun heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he said nervously, "Then what happened after that?"
"Later, Eunuch Liu made a decisive decision and closed the inner and outer city gates of Wengcheng, trapping more than 3000 Tartars in Wengcheng. For a while, the city walls were rolled down with trees and rocks, and tens of thousands of enemies waited. The weapons for defending the city were thrown down as if they didn’t need money, killing a large number of Tartars. If it wasn’t for the Tartars who broke open the outer city gate in the end, those Tartars would have all died under the Xuanfu City.”
The knight spoke exactly what Liu Changfu taught him.
"Okay, okay! This Liu Chang is rich and worthy of being someone I value." Cao Huachun laughed loudly, and even said several good words.
This Liu Changfu belongs to him, and now that Liu Changfu has made great contributions, his own face is also honored.
"By the way, there is another man named Zhao Wen. He made the most contribution in this battle. At the beginning, the Tatars stopped outside the gate of Xuanfu City, afraid that there would be fraud in it, so they dared not go in. It was he who led the troops , the one who brought the Tartars into Wengcheng. He alone beheaded more than 20 Tartars." The knight suddenly remembered what Liu Changfu had told him, and said hastily.
These words were full of loopholes, but now Cao Huachun couldn't care less about this, the most important thing is to make Chongzhen happy now, so he threw a silver ingot to the knight, and with the victory report in his arms, he strode towards the Jinluan Hall.

Chapter 39 Don't Coax Me (please collect, please recommend tickets)
Cao Huachun hurried into the Golden Luan Hall, looked at the civil and military officials kneeling in the hall, and smiled mockingly.
"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory." Cao Huachun hurriedly walked towards Chongzhen, shouting continuously.
Chongzhen frowned and looked at Cao Huachun, and said coldly: "Hmph, where did you get the victory?"
The courtiers kneeling in the hall also looked at Cao Huachun with weird faces, and said in their stomachs, "Could it be that he has lost his mind and gone crazy? The Xuan Mansion has been corrupted for thousands of miles, and countless people have been killed or injured. How can there be such a victory?"
Cao Huachun completely disregarded other people's faces, and hurriedly walked in front of Chongzhen.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the Xuanfu Town has won a great victory, beheading four hundred Tartars, and capturing countless!"
Cao Huachun exerted all his strength, looked around, and shouted loudly.
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? Don't lie to me." Chongzhen frowned and looked at Cao Huachun, with a flash of anger on his face.
Don't you think that I love and trust you, so you treat me like a fool?A few days ago, Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, gave me a letter, saying that the Tartars were rampant, and countless people were displaced. How could they kill four hundred Tartars in the blink of an eye?
"Hehe, did Cao Zhangyin become insane? Where did you hear the crazy words, and tricked me to wait in this Golden Temple?" Shi Fenglai said sarcastically.
Without even looking at Shi Feng, Cao Huachun took out the unopened bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, the messenger of victory is outside the gate of the palace. If the ministers don't believe it, you can invite him in. And the bamboo tube I handed to His Majesty is the document of victory." Cao Huachun looked at these ministers coldly.
"Why is the victory report document in your hands? Why didn't our Ministry of War get any news? Why didn't the victory report document come to our Ministry of War first, but to your inner court instead?" Yan Mingtai pointed at Cao Huachun, his face full of disbelief.
Hmph, it is estimated that this eunuch made a false report and intentionally tricked the little emperor into favor.Hmph, I want to see, how long can you be arrogant?
Cao Huachun and Yan Mingtai looked at each other, sparks flickered in the air.
"Snapped!"
Chongzhen slapped the document in his hand on the imperial case.
Yan Mingtai was overjoyed when he saw Chongzhen's reaction.Haha, let me show you.Hmph, this kind of fake news is to deceive children.
Chongzhen was extremely excited, trembling all over, he pointed at Cao Huachun, his voice changed, "Cao Daban, is it true?"
"Really, the slave is using the head of the slave to guarantee that this news is absolutely true. Didn't your majesty see the signature on it?"
Only now did Cao Huachun see the autographs of many Xuanfu officials on this victory report, so he breathed a sigh of relief.I was always worried about the authenticity of this matter before, but now that I saw so many signatures, I finally felt relieved.So he pointed to the signature on it and said to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen picked up the victory report document again, and read it carefully.
"Hmph, this Hou Shilu is nothing but a fool, as stupid as a pig." Seeing that Hou Shilu was ambushed by the Tartars, Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
"Haha, this man named Zhao Wen is so courageous, he dared to go out of the city to seduce the tartars with only a few people. Tsk tsk tsk, unusual, extraordinary. My Ming Dynasty still has loyal and brave people. "Chongzhen pointed to Zhao Wen's name on the victory report, with a happy face, and laughed.
The ministers kneeling in the hall looked at Chongzhen for a while and laughed for a while, and they couldn't figure out what Chongzhen meant for a while.
"Your Majesty, can I let my minister see this victory report?" Shi Fenglai raised his head and looked weakly at Chongzhen.
Chongzhen handed the victory report document to Cao Huachun and said, "Since Mr. Ge wants to read it, let him read it enough."
Cao Huachun took the victory report and put it in front of Shi Fenglai.
Shi Feng came to pick up the victory report document on the ground, and looked at it at a glance.
"This guarding eunuch named Liu Changfu has such courage. He is really extraordinary, extraordinary." Chongzhen kept walking in front of the dragon chair, his immature face was full of excitement.
Cao Huachun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the guarding eunuch who can guard the Nine Sides dare not say anything else, but he definitely knows the soldiers. If he doesn't know the soldiers, how dare he let him stay in such an important military town?"
"Four hundred Tartars were killed in battle. This is four hundred Tartars. Since the emperor's grandfather, there has never been a battle that has killed so many Tartars. It seems that God has blessed me, Daming."
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing and the blessing of our ancestors to make a great contribution. Besides, now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, the Xuan Mansion can make such a great contribution. It is naturally the credit of His Majesty's governance of the country. How could it be possible to achieve such a great victory after working hard on state affairs with all the clothes and food? In my opinion, His Majesty is the number one contributor to the victory of the Xuan Mansion."
Cao Huachun was all smiles, and offered several flattery.
Being able to get to the level of the palm seal of the Sili Supervisor also proved Cao Huachun's ability to conduct himself in the world, and at the same time found out the character of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.
Cao Huachun smiled all over his face, and continued: "My servant congratulates Daming, and congratulates His Majesty!"
Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair with his eyes slightly closed, listening to Cao Huachun's flattery with an expression of enjoyment.
"Brother Huang, don't you want me to be like Yao and Shun? Now that I have done it, do you see it?" Chongzhen secretly said.
"Ahem, Cao Daban, am I as good as you say? I'm just doing what an emperor should do." Chongzhen coughed twice, and looked at Cao Huachun with some embarrassment.
At this time, Shi Fenglai's voice sounded again, and he passed the document in his hand back, his face flushed with excitement, and said: "Your Majesty, the victory of the Xuanfu was confirmed by the minister, right? What I said just now is what I said from the bottom of my heart. How long has it taken? The state affairs have improved like this. This great victory in the Xuanfu, I very much agree with what Cao Zhangyin said just now. How can there be such a big victory if you don't stop worrying about state affairs?"
Shi Fenglai was also shameless, this Xuanfu victory had nothing to do with him at all, but in the end he was somehow involved.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, these officials had no other skills, but they were very talkative.
Chongzhen squinted his eyes, looked at Shi Fenglai with an excited face, and slandered: "Hmph, didn't you just say that I am a foolish emperor? Why, don't you admit it now? You admit that I am a very wise emperor?"
Hearing Shi Feng's flattery, Chongzhen felt a little flustered.
"Your Majesty is wise, the victory of Xuanfu is all due to His Majesty's wiseness, and the ancestors bless you! Now that I am the Holy Son of Ming Dynasty, how can I not be prosperous?"
Seeing this posture, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hurriedly offered their own flattery.
Anyway, flattery does not require money, and it doesn't matter if you say a few words.
Several officials who were famous for writing articles actually wrote a few fus in class.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Chongzhen only felt that he was now a wise and mighty emperor comparable to Emperor Taizu Gao.
"Ahem, ministers, please be quiet." Cao Huachun coughed twice as he looked at the Jinluan Palace, which was like a stage.
"The Xuanfu battle has been won, but I still hope that the ministers will come up with a charter for the rewards and pensions for the soldiers."
Emperor Chongzhen opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Cao Daban is right. Those who have made merit must be rewarded, and those who died in battle must also be compensated. Otherwise, the hearts of many soldiers will be chilled. As for the specific rewards, it is up to the cabinet first." Discuss it and report it to me. At the same time, let the world know about the victory of the Xuan Mansion, and I want people all over the world to be happy with me."
"Oh, by the way, Zhao Wen on this victory report document, you must give me a good reward. My Ming Dynasty needs such a loyal and brave person. I will use him as an example and tell the world. As long as you are loyal to state affairs, I will reward you generously."
"Also, immediately dispatch the troops from Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Ministry of War to the Xuanfu to verify the gains."
In fact, Chongzhen still has some concerns in his heart, that is, can these frontier soldiers really capture so many Tartar heads?Could it be killing a good person and taking credit for it?You know, these gains are more than the entire Apocalypse Dynasty combined. If this is really a case of killing good people and taking meritorious deeds, wouldn't the court be ashamed?

Chapter 40
Outside the city of Xuanfu, the official roads that were originally a mess have now been tidied up. The entire official roads have been re-paved with loess, which looks quite neat.
From the place about ten miles outside Xuanfu City to Xuanfu City, a tree was planted every fifty steps, and the tree was tied with red silk, which looked very festive.
At the same time, every mile, a pavilion is tied with colored paper and red silk, and herbal tea is prepared in the pavilion.
"Here we come, hurry up and blow it up!" Liu Changfu stood about ten miles outside Xuanfu City, watching the smoke and dust approaching in the distance, and hurriedly shouted at the musician who had been preparing for a long time.
All of a sudden, the musicians who had been preparing for a long time immediately began playing and playing, which seemed very lively.
Liu Changfu straightened his clothes and looked forward with a smile on his face.
"Vice Chief Soldier, look at the miscellaneous family, are the clothes neat?" Liu Changfu couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and said to Lu Daliang who was standing neatly next to him.
Lu Daliang was trembling with excitement, he said tremblingly: "Eunuch Liu's clothes are very neat, there is nothing improper about it."
Lu Daliang looked at the smoke and dust approaching in front of him, and thought: "I, Lu Daliang, have today too, haha, I, Lu Daliang, will finally stand up."
Lu Daliang was oppressed by Hou Shilu for so many years in the Xuan Mansion, and today he is finally about to stand up, how can he not be excited?
