Chapter 26 Cao Banban, continue playing music and dancing!
Forbidden City, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This is the place where the emperor would bestow wine and food and hold grand banquets on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, and the Beginning of Spring.

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court, royal relatives, meritorious officials and old ministers who were able to move had gathered here.

The Honglu Temple arranged the shifts of the people who were attending the banquet, and the Guanglu Temple affixed their titles on the seats, and everyone took their seats in an orderly manner.

The earth dragon was burning vigorously, and the hall was as warm as spring.

The atmosphere in the hall was very warm, completely different from the depressing atmosphere a few days ago when the Jiannu troops were at the gates of the city, as if the world was going to end tomorrow.

The Jiannu were defeated and fled far away, the crisis in the capital was resolved, and the lives and property of these people were protected, so they were naturally happy.

At this time, everyone was laughing and talking about the previous war.

Looking at their high-spirited appearance, people who don’t know the truth would think that they were the ones who fought the war.

The young emperor, sitting behind the imperial desk, glanced at the delicious food and wine on everyone's desk, and his brows unconsciously furrowed.

He advocates simplicity, and today's banquet will cost a lot of money.

However, when he thought of Jizhen's glorious victory and the safety of the capital, the slight unhappiness in his heart was suppressed.

"The people from Liaozhen have arrived a long time ago." The generals from Jizhen were still not here, so some people started to complain, "I heard that Jizhen won the battle together with Liaozhen, why haven't they come yet?"

The disastrous defeat of Liaozhen was transformed into a great victory together with Jizhen through the processing of language art.

I have to say that being able to speak is really a science.

Everyone arrived in the afternoon and waited until it was dark, so they were naturally dissatisfied.

Someone took the lead and complaints and voices of agreement spread out.

Emperor Chongzhen was a person who was easily affected by his emotions.

Such commotion in the hall naturally affected his mood.

He also began to wonder, was Ji Zhen becoming arrogant due to his achievements?

So in the Ming Dynasty, even if you fight bloody battles outside, a few words in the court can make all your blood shed in vain.

Some young censors are already ready to impeach the powerful Ji Zhen to gain fame for themselves.

If the censors want to impeach someone, they have to find someone to blame, otherwise how can they become famous?
As everyone was getting more and more impatient, a loud roll call was finally heard from outside the hall.

"General Zhao Lujiao, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen and the general who pacifies Liao, sees His Majesty~~~"

"Commander-in-Chief of Zunhua, General Chen Ran, the guardian of the country, sees His Majesty~~~"

"General Zhu Guoyan, the General of Jimen, is here to see you~~~"

"Jizhou Deputy Commander-in-Chief, General Anyuan, Zhu Laitong meets His Majesty~~~"

"."

A group of Jizhen generals, accompanied by Zhou Yanru, entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a mighty procession.

This time when the Jiannu invaded the capital, the troops of Jizhen came into the fore, defeating the Jiannu army one after another, and even forcing the Jiannu to retreat far away.

Since the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu have fought battles one after another, and have always suffered more defeats than victories.

As for the few victories, they are so watery that it is hard to describe.

It was purely because there was no other way, so we forced the victory propaganda.

But this time when the Jiannu invaded, Jizhen’s victory was real.

Not only did they defend the city of Zunhua, but they also won a series of field battles.

The number of heads of the Tatars and Mongols that had been checked and confirmed by the Ministry of War alone exceeded 3,000. There were also many heads left after yesterday's battle that were waiting to be verified.

Not to mention, Jizhen also beheaded Ajige, one of the leaders of the Eight Banners of the Nu chieftain.

Such a real victory naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone in the hall looked at the generals of Jizhen.

After following the procedures of the people from Guanglu Temple, Zhao Lujiao led everyone to the jade steps and waited for the emperor to question them.

At this time, a young censor jumped out from near the palace gate.

"Your Majesty," the censor shouted with full energy, "I accuse the generals of Jizhen of disrespecting the emperor and being indecent in front of him."

The censor achieved his goal, and everyone's eyes were on him, a minor official of the seventh rank.

This is what it means to be famous!
The young censor was a little too excited and failed to notice the cold look Zhou Yanru gave him.

Everyone in the court knew that he was protecting Jizhen!
Once someone took the lead, more people soon stood up and accused the generals of Jizhen who had just saved them.

I have to say that this is really a very Ming Dynasty style.

No matter what else, you must first get your own people on board.

In history, the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed because of its own people.

The Liaozhen generals who arrived early all had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Why are we the only ones in Liaozhen unlucky while you are the ones who have achieved great success?
The three thousand taels of silver were well spent. The censors really do their jobs as long as they are paid. How open!

"My dear friends."

Emperor Chongzhen, with obvious suspicion in his eyes, asked solemnly, "Why are you so late?"

Zhao Lujiao had already thought of a reason in his mind. When he was about to speak, he heard Chen Ran behind him say directly, "Your Majesty, the reason why I came late is, first, to count the heads of the prisoners, and second, to safely send the gifts to Your Majesty."

"What nonsense!" the censors shouted even louder. "Your Majesty is rich, why would you want a gift? You are just flattering him!"

Chen Ran looked back at the censor with some curiosity, shook his head and said nothing.

Don't be too happy now, wait for Yanru to make a list.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure you will like and be satisfied with this gift."

Obviously, the emperor's interest was piqued. "Oh, what is the gift?"

"The gift has been handed over to Eunuch Cao." Chen Ran turned and shouted to the outside of the palace gate, "Eunuch Cao, His Majesty wants to see the gift~~~"

After a while, heavy footsteps were heard outside the hall. Everyone's appetite was whetted and they all looked over.

I saw several big generals coming in, grunting and carrying a prison cage.

Those who knew the goods could recognize it at a glance. It was a cage used by the Imperial Stables to imprison ferocious animals such as tigers and leopards.

But at this moment, there was a person locked in the cage.

As the cage was lowered, everyone's curiosity reached its peak.

Emperor Chongzhen simply walked down the jade steps and curiously asked, "Who is this?"

Chen Ran stepped forward and reached out to open the cage.

Daishan, who was tied up with iron chains like a dumpling, was dragged out and thrown onto the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Here, Cao Huachun stepped forward very attentively, knelt in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and held high in both hands the large flag with Daishan’s golden helmet and golden seal.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! God bless the Ming Dynasty! General Chen and his men have captured Daishan, the leader of the four false princes of the Jiannu army and the leader of the false Zhenghong Banner, alive during the battle! I present him to your majesty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The generals of Liaozhen stood up in disbelief.

Zu Dashou, in particular, even knocked over the table in front of him, and didn't care at all that his clothes were stained with soup and wine.

"Impossible, how is this possible?!"

"Impossible?" Chen Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to grab Daishan's golden rat tail, pulled up his face and showed it to Zu Dashou. "General Zu, this is an old acquaintance of yours, don't say you don't know him!"

Looking at that face, Zu Dashou turned pale and was speechless.

He really didn't expect that the powerful Jiannu would be defeated so miserably, and even Daishan, one of the four great beiles, was captured alive!

In a trance, the Jiannu army that once weighed on his head and seemed forever invincible gradually became blurred.

"Is Jian Nu going to do something bad? I can do it too!"

Wu Sangui, who had secured a position in the Hall of Supreme Harmony by relying on his kinship with his ancestors, could not help but ask, "Master Chen, since you have captured Daishan, why didn't you inform us?"

All the generals in Liaozhen were very upset.

If we had known that in yesterday's battle, we had caught such a big fish, we would have fought to the death.

Even if you can't snatch it away, you'll have to spend a lot of money to buy one!

What a pity, now all this great achievement belongs to Jizhen.

“Daishan?” Emperor Chongzhen looked at the man in front of him with a dazed look. “Are you really Daishan?”

The pressure that the Later Jin brought to the Ming Dynasty was increasing day by day.

Liao salary was the most direct response to this pressure.

Especially this time when the Jiannu invaded the pass, the entire capital area was in ruins. At the most dangerous time, even the capital seemed to be in danger.

But now, Daishan, one of the four top beiles of the Jiannu clan, was standing in front of him!
The emperor's emotions were surging, and an unprecedented feeling of joy was surging in his heart.

Knowing that he was doomed to die, Daishan raised his head and looked at the emperor in the dragon robe. He used all his strength to shout out what might be the last words of his life.

"Dog Emperor~~~"

As soon as he said this, Chen Ran's fist landed on his mouth.

Then a group of Jizhen soldiers quickly surrounded him and started beating and kicking him crazily.

Inside the hall, there were sounds of fists hitting flesh, like the sound of leather being rotten.

After a cup of hot tea, Emperor Chongzhen's expression eased. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, "That's enough."

Then he added, "We have to send it to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to celebrate the victory, don't really beat him to death."

All the generals in Jizhen retreated one after another, leaving Daishan lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Under the envious gazes of his colleagues such as Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, with a smile on his face, hurriedly called upon the Han generals to put Daishan back into the cage and carry him out.

Immediately, he knelt before the emperor again and shouted loudly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty~~~"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Since he ascended the throne, he had been trying to maintain his image as a wise ruler. Emperor Chongzhen, who always had a stern face and was serious, laughed out loud without caring about his image.

He was so happy.

Jiannu?

But that's it!

I have powerful soldiers in Jizhen, and can destroy the Jiannu!
The emperor was in a good mood. He looked at Chen Ran and nodded repeatedly, "My dear minister, you have made an unprecedented contribution. I must reward you handsomely!"

This time it was Chen Ran's turn to be subjected to the envious, jealous and hateful gazes of the crowd.

Ignoring the countless burning gazes, he bowed and saluted, "This is all my duty, I dare not take credit for it."

The emperor pointed to the table closest to the jade steps, which was originally the seat of the chief minister of the cabinet. "My dear minister, please sit here."

Then he looked at Cao Huachun again, "Cao Banban, continue playing the music and dancing!"

The sound of stringed instruments rang out, and palace maids in cool clothes rushed in, dancing gracefully on the bloodstains left by Daishan.

Everyone was toasting each other and cheering loudly, as if anyone who did not participate enthusiastically in the banquet would be disrespecting the emperor.

However, everyone's eyes would fall on Chen Ran from time to time.

Duke of England Zhang Weixian came to Chen Ran with a glass of wine.

Before Chen Ran could greet him, Zhang Weixian opened his mouth with a powerful attack.

"My dear nephew, are you married?"
