Everyone knows that the history of the late Ming Dynasty was tampered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which completely reversed the right and wrong. In order to obtain the true historical records of the late Ming Dynasty, countless scholars have looked up North Korea's "Records of the Li Dynasty", which is comparable to the "History of the Ming Dynasty"

"It is much more reliable and true. Because North Korea's "Records of the Li Dynasty" records the major events of the late Ming Dynasty, especially the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong and the Later Jin Dynasty, from the position of a third-party observer, its authenticity is absolutely reliable.

.

So there is a strange phenomenon. Chinese historians may have some interest in history. One group of people go to "History of the Ming Dynasty" to find out the story, and another group of people go to "Records of the Li Dynasty" to find the truth. As for the two groups of people.

What is the purpose and the truth obtained is a matter of opinion.

Anyway, now, the authenticity of the North Korean envoy's report can hardly be questioned.

At that time, Tianqi stood there, his whole body trembling slightly, not because he was excited that his beloved general was about to overturn the verdict, but because he was trembling with the real news of a great victory brought to him by the North Korean envoy.

Ming Dynasty needs a great victory to inspire people and morale. It needs a great victory to prove that Ming Dynasty is still an invincible empire, and the clown is absolutely unshakable.

"You said that in the Battle of Linpan, Mao Shuai's formation killed three thousand Jiannu?"

"The Seven Battles of Linpan must be more than this number." The messenger answered honestly.

"You said that the Xiangguan blockade killed 5,000 Han troops?"

"Just a little more,"

"You said that at that time, three thousand warriors under Mao Wenlong performed a heroic act and killed Anfei Yanggu, the five ministers of the slave chieftain at the same time?"

"Although it was said that he died of illness in front of the army, and Mao Shuai also said so, we know that when Amin was restrained by Mao Shuai with suspicious soldiers, Anfei Yanggu was the general who led the army and pursued Mao Shuai to Xiang

It was impossible for those in front of the pass to be sick, but after the big explosion, Amin retreated and raised a white flag to mourn. Therefore, the foreign ministers and the small country investigated and learned that it was Anfei Yanggu who died in front of the army. "North Korea.

The envoy told the truth.

"You said Amin suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw to Liaodong?"

"There is absolutely no problem with this."

After receiving the exact news, Tianqi stared blankly outside the hall.

It was already noon, and the bright sunlight penetrated the windows of the hall without any hindrance, poured into the open door, and spread so warmly on the gold bricks of the Purple Gold Hall, making people feel in a trance and afraid.

The feeling of looking directly.

After standing for a long time, Tianqi suddenly raised his hands to the sky and shouted with all his strength: "Blessed by our ancestors, Mao Shuai is victorious, Ming Dynasty is victorious -"

Then, regardless of whether the foreign ministers were present or not, he immediately lay down on the table and began to cry.

He had to cry, he really cried bitterly because of his grievance.

Wei Zhongxian sighed, but did not try to persuade him. He just watched pitifully as the emperor he had watched grow up cried. How much did he hope that the emperor's cry would dissipate the cloud of crying in his heart?

Since the emperor came to power, the glorious Ming Dynasty has long been in a mess. Not only is the Ming Dynasty's finances in jeopardy, but the household expenditures are almost entirely supported by internal funds. The Hou Jin Dynasty outside the customs is aggressive, the Ming Dynasty's army is retreating steadily, and the general guerrilla guards have been killed.

It was commonplace, and it was not uncommon for governors to commit suicide. Refugees in the northwest began to surge, and uprisings continued in various places. The Mongolian tribes also began to no longer respect their own Ming Dynasty, and began to invade the borders, reaching as far as the hinterland of Yansui. The three generals

The soldiers were killed. The chieftains in the south also began to make trouble. Pirates were surging along the coast, and it could be said that they were besieged on all sides.

Internally, his grandfather, Emperor Wanli, neglected to go to court, and no one was involved in national affairs. Some important official positions were vacant. Appointments to scholar-bureaucrats were often unable to be made, and there was a great gap between the emperor and his ministers. The courtiers gradually formed various gangs, and various factions were formed.

The three major factions of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang are sparing no effort to attack, and the Donglin forces are also sparing no effort to fight back, causing the court to fight every day instead of doing business.

I wanted to work hard to do something, but the three major cases have become stubborn problems, and the court officials are entangled internally and externally. Although Ye Xianggao has outstanding abilities and is loyal to the country, he is too strong and has the ability to control the government as an independent prime minister.

Putting the emperor in his eyes, Apocalypse wanted to do something, but he couldn't pass the cabinet level. The imperial power has been infinitely despised. It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is a puppet.

He went to court every day and returned to the harem to work as a carpenter that he liked to relieve the depression in his heart. But while doing it, he would smash the finished work to pieces inexplicably. Isn't it because he had nowhere to vent his frustration?

I originally fully supported Mao Wenlong's entry into Liaodong, hoping to achieve something, but just before, he almost became a stain on the officials' attack on the emperor's random administration.

Now, Mao Wenlong really won a big victory. Not only did he have the credit he reported, but he also had the credit he didn't report. This way, all the ministers can see that Emperor Tianqi is no longer stupid.

Seeing the emperor disregarding his dignity and crying uncontrollably in front of outsiders, it shows how painful the emperor's heart is. As the saying goes, the emperor worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the emperor humiliates his ministers to death. Ye Xianggao, who is relatively upright, also knows that this time he

He overdid it because he fell into absolute trust and support for Xiong Tingbi. In the face of the facts and the long live cry, Ye Xianggao suddenly felt ashamed. What was wrong with him? According to the Buddha,

Got it.

So, with shame and loyalty to the emperor, he lifted up his robe and knelt down: "Long live, I deserve to die."

The officials were also frightened by Tianqi's appearance, and they all knelt down to plead guilty. Then, there were voices in the hall asking for forgiveness again. This time, whether they were sincere or false, the guilt was indeed found.

Apocalypse straightened up and wiped his tears with his sleeves in an inconspicuous manner. After breathing for a while, he glanced at a group of ministers who were kneeling in fear. It was only then that Apocalypse felt like he was superior.

He straightened his body and asked Ye Xianggao: "Is there any statement on Mao Shuai's report of meritorious deeds that he killed the five ministers who were responsible for establishing the slaves?"

Ye Xianggao lowered his head and answered quietly: "No."

Tianqi laughed. He loved and hated this powerful chief assistant. Tianqi, who always shrank in front of him, felt better after crying bitterly. Especially Mao Wenlong, whom he had always tried to support, gave him

He felt proud and proud, so he felt somewhat righteous when speaking in front of Ye Xianggao.

"Then in Ye Aiqing's opinion, what does it mean that Marshal Mao doesn't report such a huge achievement?"

Ye Xianggao heard it. Now that Tianqi has called him Mao Shuai instead of calling him by the name of Mao Wenlong (this was also the case in history), it shows how high Mao Wenlong's status is in the emperor's heart. Therefore, if Mao Wenlong is suppressed again,

That is disrespectful to the emperor, and once you insist on it, it will inevitably cause discord between the emperor and yourself, which will be detrimental to the situation of the court.

This is the difference between a capable minister, a loyal minister, and a treacherous minister.
