It was late at night, but Chongzhen still had many memorials that could not be processed. Today, he had not left the imperial case for a whole day. Please search and read the most complete novel!

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, rest soon!" Wang Chengen whispered.

Chongzhen raised his head and asked, "Wang Chengen, when is it?"

"It's the third hour of Xu, and it's time to settle."

"It's so late, time passes so quickly." Chongzhen shook his head, "But there are so many memorials left to be processed. Wang Chengen, come and read the memorials to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen came over, Chongzhen leaned on the chair and closed his eyes. Wang Chengen waved his hand, and a pretty palace maid came up with her head down, stood behind Chongzhen and began rubbing his shoulders and neck for him.

Although Chongzhen was already very tired, he did not go to rest here, nor did he hand over the memorial to Wang Chengenlai to review and draft the edict for him. Chongzhen was not completely relieved of this closest eunuch. He knew that many powerful eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, such as Wei Zhongxian and Liu Jin, took advantage of the emperor's ignoring government affairs, and then took the opportunity to steal the power in the court and cause harm to the world.

He often suspected that secretly colluding with internal and external ministers would keep him in the dark, just as Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng colluded with each other during the Wanli period and eventually controlled the government. So although he was extremely tired at this time, he still relied on here, asking Wang Chengen to recite the memorial, and then he gave a reply and handled the matter, and asked Wang Chengen to approve the money on his behalf.

"Your Majesty! Admiral Cao asked for a visit."

Chongzhen frowned. This year, Cao Huachun kept submitting memorials to ask for sick leave and return home. Chongzhen trusted this old man in the palace back then. At that time, Cao Huachun was expelled from Beijing by Wei Zhongxian and was sent to Nanjing for punishment. As soon as Chongzhen ascended the throne, he immediately recalled him and entrusted him with important tasks. Later, he was also handed over to Cao Huachun to rehabilitate the unjust case. Now he is in charge of military affairs in the Dongchang and the Jingying camp.

One Cao Huachun is outside and the other Wang Chengen is inside. He is the two most trusted internal officials of Chongzhen, but Cao Huachun is now always thinking about returning to his hometown to retire.

"Did you say what's going on?"

"Admiral Cao said there was an emergency report from Jiangbei, saying that the government army had won a great victory in Jiangbei and had annihilated the five thieves in Gleading!"

As usual, the palace gates are closed every night, but when there are emergency military information and important Tang newspapers, they will still be sent to the palace at any time. The Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty has Titang officials in various provinces, which are specifically responsible for military intelligence in each province. Tangma is also set up in various prefectures and counties to specifically inquire about military information and convey military information. These military information are called Tangbao.

I heard about the great victory in Jiangbei. Chongzhen opened his eyes suddenly, and an excited light flashed in his eyes.

"Summon Admiral Cao immediately."

Cao Huachun came in quickly, and as soon as he made progress, he immediately knelt down and said in a sharp voice, "I Cao Huachun greeted Master Cao Huachun!"

Chongzhen strode forward and helped him up, "Cao Daban, I heard about the great victory in Jiangbei. What is the situation? Have the five thieves of the Giveuo held it?"

"I congratulate the emperor and congratulate the emperor. The victory in Jiangbei, the five thieves in the Left have been awarded the heads, and the bandits in the five camps have all been annihilated and captured! Great joy!"

For a moment, Chongzhen didn't say a word. He was completely shocked by the news and was so surprised that he couldn't believe it.

"It's so fast." After coming back to his senses, Chongzhen breathed a long sigh, "What's going on with the specific bandit suppression?"

"Return to the emperor, Tangbao reported. The fifth camp of the Left of Ge Zuo wanted to break through the siege and flee east. Zhennan Hou discovered it in time and decisively led his troops to pursue and intercept it. The two sides launched a fierce battle on the Yehe River west of Shecheng County, Luzhou Prefecture. The two sides fought one day. Zhennan Hou led his troops to defeat the bandits and bandits, and won a complete victory. The five bandits were captured and killed, and more than 3,000 bandits were killed in formation, and more than 60,000 were captured!"

Wang Chengen exclaimed on the side, "What a Marquis Zhennan. The battle will be successful and the bandits in the Central Plains will be pacified!"

"Liu Jun really does not disappoint my expectations." Chongzhen, who calmed down, said slowly, "One battle was successful, one battle was successful!"

After a while of silence, Chongzhen took a cup of tea from a palace maid, took two sips, and put it aside. Although he tried his best to show peace on the surface, he was already inexplicably excited. He captured Gao Yingxiang alive in ten years, defeated Li Zicheng in eleven years, and this year he captured Zhang Xianzhong alive, defeated Luo Rucai and surrendered Ma Jinzhong, Liu Guoneng and other large number of bandit leaders, and captured and killed more than ten bandit leaders including the Ten Rebel Kings. Now, even the last large bandit bandits Glea Left Five Camp has been annihilated.

Since the Apocalypse, the more troubles it has become, and the bandits who once swept across the Central Plains and even captured Fengyang, Zhongdu were finally wiped out.

Since ascending the throne, the bandits have become a nightmare in his heart. During the days when bandits were most rampant, they were even shocked overnight and had never even had a safe sleep. They often dreamed that bandits captured cities and broken counties and swept his world like locusts.

"Come on wine, I want a drink."

Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun were both very surprised. The emperor rarely drank alcohol, and only drank it once in the last victory in eastern Sichuan.

"Yes, go and get the wine quickly and get the best wine." Wang Chengen hurriedly said to the palace people.

He took the imperial wine, Chongzhen picked up the full wine glass and drank it all, and then drank several more glasses in succession.

"Hahaha, I am in a great mood today. You don't have to persuade me. Come and drink a few more drinks with me. I am the happiest today since I ascended the throne."

Chongzhen raised his glasses repeatedly, and finally helped the people returning to the palace drunk.

The next day, Chongzhen slept until afternoon, which was a rare situation in his career as an emperor. After washing up, Chongzhen became energetic and smiled and said to the palace servant next to him, "I missed the morning court today, but it didn't matter. If I missed it, I would have missed it."

"Summons to the cabinet ministers to the palace to discuss matters."

While waiting for the cabinet ministers to enter the palace, Chongzhen began to review the memorials again.

However, he picked up the first memorial he opened and became angry after reading only a few lines.

This memorial was submitted by Fengyang Director Lu Jiude. In order to seize the merits, Liu Jun was impeached, regardless of the fact that he had surrendered to the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, and killed the leader of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo and thousands of surrendered bandits. He also captured the rest of the bandits who had already put down their weapons and surrendered them to his own camp, pretending to be a great victory, taking military merits, etc.

Chongzhen was very angry.

His good mood was gone. He believed in Liu Jun in his heart, but his suspicion towards the ministers had always made him begin to doubt Liu Jun.

It took him a while to calm down his excitement and began to continue reading the memorials later.

The second memorial was written by Hubei director Wang Kun, but the content was completely opposite to Lu Jiude's. Wang Kun reported that Liu Jun led the Hubei army into Huai, but Lu Jiude sought bribes from Liu Jun, but Liu Jun refused to give them. Lu Jiude was in a dilemma everywhere, even disregarding the plan of encirclement and suppression between the north and south sides that had been arranged by the governor Mei Zhihuan and the governor Li Changgeng, and even wanted to obtain the command power of the Southern Army.

After being opposed by his two governors, military supervisors and supervisors, Lu Jiude forcibly divided the Southern Army into two east and west routes, and actually seized the command of the Eastern Army.

After that, when the Chu army led by Liu Jun not only cleared out the bandits and bandits on the west road, searched and captured bandits and spies, and encircled the strongholds on the periphery, putting great pressure on the bandits of Ge Zuo, in order to escape from the siege, the bandits secretly bribed Lu Jiude and gave 200,000 taels of silver.

After receiving the gift, Lu Jiude immediately withdrew the troops and horses that had been arranged to intercept Shucheng, Tongcheng and other eastwards at Luzhen Pass, and released a large hole. The Fifth Battalion of the Left immediately broke through the east. If the Chu army had not discovered the horse in time, they would have immediately pursued and intercepted them decisively, fighting desperately, the bandits would have escaped from the siege and killed Huaiyang, or even Jiangnan.

There are many memorials behind, including Hubei Governor Lu Weining, Hubei Army Supervisor Qu Shiyu, Hubei Army Supervisor Mei Zhihuan, Governor Li Changgeng, and even Jiangbei Governor Shi Kefa.

In these memorials, the governors and ministers unanimously impeached Lu Jiude to accept bribes from the thief, and then made a fuss about the enemy and falsely accused Liu Jun, especially Mei Zhihuan, with a lot of evidence. Lu Jiude not only accepted bribes from the enemy, but also embezzled and sought bribes when he was guarding Fengyang. The property collected from his home was as much as 700,000, and the total amount of property found in Luzhou Prefecture and Anqing Prefecture was worth as much as one million taels.

The evidence is accurate and the evidence is as strong as a mountain.

Chongzhen's palms were red in anger, but he looked through all the memorials, but he did not see Liu Jun's memorials. Faced with Lu Jiude's slander, Liu Jun remained silent and did not even make a sound of protection by himself.

When all the major officials of the cabinet arrived, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun were also with him, and Liu Qiao, the commander of the Jinyiwei who came under the imperial edict.

Chongzhen threw a bunch of memorials in front of them.

"Do you all know about Lu Jiude?"

The chief assistant Xue Guoguan nodded. Before sending these memorials to the palace, they had already passed them in the cabinet, so of course they knew very well.

"Liu Qiao, you personally go to Jiangbei and take Lu Jiude to the capital."

"Mr. Yao, you will go out of the capital for me and go to Jiangbei to personally welcome the second governor of Meili and Zhennan Hou to the capital for me."

Everyone was shocked. The emperor sent a cabinet minister to welcome Mei, Li and Liu. This honor was too heavy.

"Your Majesty, how to deal with those more than 60,000 prisoners?" Xue Guoguan asked.

"Didn't Mei Zhihuan requested the land in the east and west Hubei and Huaixi military farms in the memorial? And I heard that Zhu Dadian and Liu Jun also agreed to this decision. Since that is the case, we will be approved and will be specifically resettled by the second governor of Hubei and Jiangbei."

Xue Guoguan said again, "I have something to do, but I don't know if it should be mentioned."

"Say!" Chongzhen looked at him, but he had already planned to dismiss the prime minister in a few days.

Xue Guoguan said, "Hubei General Liu Jun was a martial artist. By chance, he was promoted repeatedly. He became the general and was given the title of Marquis. At that time, he was forced to serve as the general and was appointed as the marquis. At that time, it was all due to the situation, and it was still possible to make the right decision. But now the five camps of the left have been destroyed, and the bandits in the Central Plains have been settled. Liu Jun was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censor of the Censorate, which was very incompatible with the ancestral system. In particular, Liu Jun also supervised the military affairs of the two lakes, the prime minister trained troops, and also handled food and money. I think that since the bandits are settled, then Liu Jun's part-time jobs should be removed."

Chongzhen didn't speak.
