Red Mansion: I married my wife Lin Daiyu, but she didn’t consummate the marriage.

The atmosphere in the Jinluan Palace in Kyoto was very depressing. The eunuchs on both sides of the dragon throne did not even dare to take a breath. The civil servants and generals on both sides of the hall bowed their heads in silence, looking resigned. The current emperor Taiguang, who was sitting at the top

, did not dare to take a breath.

When the emperor saw this scene, he was furious.

He took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a low tone:

"Who will tell me how the Jin people defeated seven cities in one day? Where are my soldiers who defended the city? Where are the hundreds of thousands of troops in Youzhou? Where are the tens of millions of taels of military expenditure allocated every year spent? I just raised such a bunch of trash, what use do you have?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Emperor Taiguang finally failed to suppress his anger.

Everyone was silent and allowed him to get angry, looking at a group of dead pigs below that were not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Minister,

Emperor Taiguang’s eyes fell on a man among the civil servants:

"Zhou Aiqing, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, can you explain to me what is going on and where all my money went?"

Zhou Ru, the Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up with a wat board in his hand and knelt down on the ground with a thud:

"The humble minister is guilty, please convict your Majesty."

"Okay,"

Emperor Taiguang sneered and said,"In that case, I will remove you from the post of Minister of War and replace it with the Marquis of Zhenyuan." As soon as these words came out, the ministers below immediately exploded and stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb. They all stood up and expressed their opinions:

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. Mr. Zhou has worked hard and achieved great results. Even without merit, there is still hard work. If he were to dismiss from office, I am afraid it would be difficult to convince the public."

"Marquis Zhenyuan had secretly communicated with the Jin people as early as when he was at the border. It has not yet been investigated clearly. How can he take on such a big responsibility again?"

"Your Majesty, please think again. If you insist on doing this, I am willing to resign from office and go home to retire with Mr. Zhou."

"I am also willing to go."

Seeing the ministers kneeling in groups, the expression on Emperor Taiguang's face became more and more gloomy. He raised his head and glanced to the southwest.

If it were not for the support of the Supreme Emperor from the Daming Palace, how could these people dare? Against himself, he was now constrained in every way in the court. Who would believe that the great emperor actually wanted to listen to a group of ministers?

It was simply ridiculous.

Emperor Taiguang felt sad, fighting for power internally, and attacking each other. The Jin people outside are watching with eager eyes, and a large area of ​​territory has been encroached.

Sooner or later, Daqian will be completely devoured by the Jin people.

"That's all, if nothing happens, just retreat."

Just as the eunuch Xia Shouzhong next to him was about to announce his resignation, a sudden cry came from outside:

"Great victory, great victory at the border."

Everyone in the court was stunned, great victory?

Who is talking nonsense, and then secretly cursed the person who brought the message at the wrong time.

Now that the Holy Spirit is angry, you come to ask for military expenses, and you will harm everyone later. After being scolded,

Emperor Taiguang on the dragon throne heard the murderous intent in his eyes.

These border guards were really desperate.

They had just lost seven cities, and they dared to lie about military information. Military expenses,

Emperor Taiguang looked at the visitor coldly, and squeezed out one word:

"read!"

"Yes, Han Shucheng, the commander-in-chief of Youzhou, submitted that in September of the seventh year of Taiguang, I led my troops to launch several battles against the Jin soldiers in Youzhou and achieved great victory. They annihilated more than 3,000 Jin soldiers and regained the territory."We have two cities, and our army has lost more than ten thousand people." It sounds ridiculous to kill three thousand enemies and lose more than ten thousand people. However, instead of being angry, Emperor Taiguang's face showed a hint of joy, because this was the case between himself and the Jin people. This was the greatest result achieved since the war began. It could indeed be called a great victory. Even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Emperor Taiguang looked at the messenger and said:

"Go down and receive your reward,"

"Your Majesty, there is still a good news unread,"

"besides?"

Emperor Taiguang was stunned. Han Shucheng has made his mark. It seems that he has been working hard to resist the Jin soldiers during this period:

"read,"

"Yes, today, Zheng Jiahen of the dead soldier battalion led his troops to encounter the Jin outside. After a desperate fight, they finally wiped out 317 Jin. However, Zheng Jiahen, the leader of the team, was seriously injured, and fifty-four of his men were killed in the battle. Twenty-three people were killed and fifteen were seriously injured. I am willing to guarantee with my head that the result of this battle is absolutely true."

There was no sound, and you could hear the drop of a needle. You could even hear the breathing of everyone in the huge Jinluan Palace, and it was always in everyone's mind. One sentence echoed, saying that 317 Jin men were wiped out with fifty-four people.

This news was like a huge stone, falling heavily in everyone's hearts.

After a long time,

Emperor Taiguang said hurriedly:

"Hurry up and submit the battle report."

Xia Shouzhong, who was next to him, quickly took it and handed it over.

Emperor Taiguang read it several times after taking it, and suddenly laughed loudly and said:

"Hahaha, okay, I still have people who can be used in my cadre, and another Zhenyuan Marquis will come out of the Dead Soldiers Camp. He deserves a reward. I will reward this person well."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below looked a little bit. It was ugly, especially when I heard the words Death Soldier Camp and Zhenyuan Marquis , a dark cloud hung over my heart, and I secretly made up my mind to never let the second Zhenyuan Marquis appear.

"The ministers think how should I reward this Jiahen?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed in the long term."

Emperor Taiguang sneered in his heart.

What nonsense is there to be discussed in the long term?

Why don't you go to the Daming Palace to see the Supreme Emperor to make up your mind?

"Okay, since that's the case, let's withdraw from the court for the time being and discuss it tomorrow."

……

In the Daming Palace, the Supreme Emperor looked at the ministers in front of him and asked again:

"Do you think this person’s surname is Jia?"

"Yes, this person’s name is Jia Hen, and he comes from the Dead Soldiers Camp."

After receiving the confirmed news, the Supreme Emperor nodded and said:

"I already know this. Please step aside for now."

"Yes."

After everyone left, the Supreme Emperor said to the people around him:

"Go to Fengzao Palace to invite Concubine Xiande and tell her that the Empress Dowager misses her."

"yes,"
