Yu Xin was lying on the ground, enjoying the fragrance of the soil, when he heard a loud sound.

"Don't pretend to be faint, wake up."

The military report reporting the victory in the southwest was sent to the palace, and the lives of Zheng Yi and his family were saved.

The emperor can go along with the situation and grant mercy and pardon, and everyone's reputation is preserved. The emperor does not need to bear the reputation of being overbearing. If nothing happens, the emperor will go to court to summon his ministers soon.

Yu Xin opened his eyes in a daze, took a peek behind him, and found that many of his colleagues who had pretended to be fainted were now kneeling again, and then he coughed slightly and stood up.

"I was so anxious that I almost fainted. The sound of victory came into my ears like a fairy voice. It is a blessing to the country that the victory is played on the front line. I immediately felt much better physically and mentally."

"Mr. Yu Ge is so worried about national affairs, he is really a role model for us who are less advanced."

Outside the Meridian Gate, there was a lot of praise and praise, which made Fang Xiaoru stunned and opened his eyes.

Bao Zhao's face turned a little darker.

"The drama is over."

Zhou Yunfan, who reported the news, dismounted from the Hongwu Gate and entered the palace. He was immediately startled by the large group of kneeling officials in front of him. He had never been to the palace before. He only felt that the palaces and pavilions in front of him were like heavenly palaces.

The red walls and glazed tiles in the center shine with luxury and nobility in the sun, instantly weighing on my heart like a big mountain.

Is this where the emperor lives?

So fucking spectacular!

With a pop, Zhou Yunfan knelt on the ground. He was stopped by a eunuch after he had only taken a few steps, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Yunfan pointed to the group of people kneeling not far away, "Aren't they all kneeling?"

This large group of high-ranking officials wearing red and jade kneeling there made Zhou Yunfan subconsciously think that he was going to kneel on the ground when he entered the palace.

The little eunuch burst into laughter and stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Yunfan up.

"Have you brought your customs clearance documents, military report, and identity documents?"

Zhou Yunfan quickly opened his arms and took out a brocade box, "The military newspaper is inside."

The little eunuch took it and opened it. In addition to two memorials, there was also a gorgeous gold medal lying in the brocade box.

First Class Wu Yi Medal!

In the entire southwest, only the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, could enjoy it.

The young eunuch nodded and said, "Okay, we will go to the palace immediately to present it. You can wait here until called."

"ah?"

Zhou Yunfan was stunned and grabbed the little eunuch, "I can't go in?"

This is a chance to come to Nanjing to claim victory. In order to grab this opportunity, Zhou Yunfan did not know how many people fell down in exchange for the opportunity. Wasn't it just to see with his own eyes what the legendary emperor I said to be the supreme emperor of heaven and earth looked like?

"It's a beautiful thought."

The young eunuch rolled his eyes at Zhou Yunfan and said, "Stay still and don't run around. If your Majesty calls you, you have accumulated good deeds for eight lifetimes."

After saying this, the little eunuch turned around and left, trotting all the way through the Meridian Gate, leaving Zhou Yunfan alone and dumbfounded.

He carefully touched the end of a large group of officials and whispered hello, "Hey, brother."

The Hanlin student hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, knelt down and took a few steps to the side, "Stay away from us. If you have anything to do, just stop there and tell me."

Zhou Yunfan was immediately annoyed. Hey, I’ve been covered in stars and moons all the way. I even had to eat on horseback for ten days. I didn’t even change horses until I arrived in Nanjing. The blood blisters on the inner thighs were bruised several times. Damn you.

Still dislike me?

You think I smell bad, don't you? See if I don't disgust you to death.

Zhou Yunfan pressed forward and said, "Tell me, what are you doing kneeling here?"

The Hanlin student was almost crying, "Brother, I beg you, can you stay away from me?"

"You officials are no longer just playing tricks, right?"

Zhou Yunfan raised his eyebrows and glared, "I have just come down from the southwest battlefield. Do you know how hard I worked when I fought against Qinghua? You guys are charging forward despite the rain of arrows and carrying gunpowder bags, but you still have the nerve to dislike me?"

"

Okay, okay, you are awesome.

While the two were still entangled, they saw a eunuch running out of the Meridian Gate, pulling his neck and shouting, "Your Majesty is coming to court and has announced that officials of the fourth rank and above will pay homage to the Fengtian Palace. The rest of the people will go back to their homes."

To the ministers, this voice was the real fairy voice. Hundreds of people immediately got up from the ground, and those who were qualified to see them all walked to the Meridian Gate, while many more quickly turned around and walked tremblingly.

Legs go home.

It was really painful to kneel for most of the day on an empty stomach.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Zhou Yunfan fell into deep self-doubt. Above fourth rank? How high rank do I, Zhou Yunfan, count?

In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yunwen was holding two memorials and looking at them in fascination. When he saw a large group of officials coming in, he waved his hands hurriedly, "No courtesy."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty."

After kneeling for several hours, everyone's calves were trembling, and they were swaying around. Bao Zhao asked first, "Your Majesty, the victory in the southwest, I wonder, what a great result it is?"

A quick victory over eight hundred miles would require at least the capture of more than 100,000 people, right?

The beginning of the Ming Dynasty is not the end of the Ming Dynasty. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, thousands of wild boars were enough for a group of people to brag about for several months. During the Hongwu Dynasty, they fought against the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Southwest. They achieved too many great victories. At the beginning, Mu Chun's ten thousand grams of Dao Gan were

Meng's 200,000 yuan was only 600 miles away. After Emperor Taizu saw it, he only issued an imperial edict to praise it.

An arrogant person like Zhu Di didn't even bother to avenge the execution of prisoners of less than 10,000 people. In Prince Yan's Mansion in Shuntian, Zhu Di had several servants and even the former head of ten thousand households in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen shook the memorial in his hand and burst into laughter, "Hu Ni is the leader, my Ming army has entered Hanoi, Annan has surrendered, and the Southwest Campaign has been a complete victory!"

Destroy the country in one battle!

There was a sudden silence in Fengtian Hall.

Although everyone already had some speculations about this in their hearts, when Zhu Yunwen said it himself, there was still a gasp of cold air.

Only Xia Yuanji stood up, "In the southwest battle, the enemy numbered more than 400,000. If we can defeat the enemy and destroy the country, our army will probably suffer a lot of casualties."

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Mu Chunluchuan was defeated miserably. Fifty thousand elite soldiers were killed in the first battle. Millions of taels of money were thrown out for pensions, and another million taels were spent on recruitment and reconstruction. Even though the national treasury was strong and the Ministry of Household Affairs paid silver

Xia Yuanji's heart ached terribly.

How many roads and dams can be built?

"casualties?"

Zhu Yunwen stood up, took the military report and walked down the imperial steps, "In this battle, our mountain army alone killed more than 12,000 people and wounded more than 3,000 people! More than 300,000 people were killed and captured before and after!"

"Taizu bless you!"

Xia Yuanji raised his head to the sky and roared. He fell down on the ground and howled several times. In an instant, the entire Fengtian Hall knelt down and shouted "Taizu bless you."

Zhu Yunwen's face looked a little embarrassed.

The lion's share of this military merit is obviously going to be on me, okay?

Are you not giving me face by doing this?

After all, there are smart people. Qi Tai, as the Minister of the Ministry of War and Zhu Yunwen's latent minister, still took the initiative to flatter him at this time, "Such a great victory in the southwest is all because Wei Guogong led the army well. The tiger's son in the general's door has never fallen. It's his father Zhongshan."

The king's majesty and reputation, His Majesty's discerning eyes, and the choice of him as commander are responsible for the destruction of the country today. Long live my emperor!"

The emperor must have seen it. At the critical moment, I, Lao Qi, still have the eye.

Qi Tai was so pleased with himself that he glanced at Zhu Yunwen secretly and asked me whether he should give me the title of bachelor and let me join the cabinet.

"Ah."

Zhu Yunwen chuckled lightly and threw the general's newspaper in front of Qi Tai, "Secretary of the Ministry of War of the Qing Family, please take a look first."

The latter picked it up and looked at it, his face instantly became embarrassed, and his flattery slapped the horse's leg.

This battle has nothing to do with Xu Huizu!

Ya brought the army to Hanoi, so he accepted the surrender?

"This is real?"

When Qi Taidi returned the memorial, his lips trembled, "In the Southwest War, only 20,000 mountain troops were able to destroy the Annan country alone?"

Twenty thousand people, destroy a country!

From ancient times to the present, except for the heyday of the Anti-Yuan Dynasty, there have been records of thousands of cavalry making forced landings on the countries in the Western Regions, but that was a forced landing. What those small countries in the Western Regions feared was that they would be massacred and exterminated after resisting, not that they could not defeat these thousands of cavalry, like those in the Southwest.

A battle, but a real battlefield confrontation, with 20,000 people destroying a country?

More than 10,000 casualties in exchange for more than 300,000 prisoners?

Could this mountain army be heavenly soldiers and generals?

It seems like this army was trained by the emperor!

Everyone suddenly remembered that there were more than 200,000 troops in the Beijing camp outside the city, right? When I thought of the majestic military appearance at the military parade that day, I suddenly felt that my scalp was about to explode.

"Xu Huizu is not a person who is greedy for merit and false rewards."

Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily and said, "I ordered him to go to the southwest to form a new army. He was originally just to send out surprise troops and disturb the enemy's logistics. I didn't expect that he would achieve such great military exploits without any intention. I am very happy, hahahaha."

I, the emperor, have begun to express my merits to myself. Are you all fucking fools?

The ministers hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground and cheered.
Chapter completed!
