"Treasure?" Emperor Chongzhen said happily, "I wonder what treasure it is?"

"Long live, this treasure is..." Wang Pu said this deliberately, and when it aroused everyone's appetite, he suddenly said: "The Jade Seal of the Kingdom!"

The Jade Seal of the Kingdom!?

The imperial seal of the lost desert for more than two hundred years!?

Emperor Chongzhen and the civil and military officials held their breath and stared at the yellow silk package in Wang Pu's hand. If the yellow silk package was indeed the imperial seal, it could indeed be called a treasure, and it was a peerless treasure! The sudden appearance of the imperial seal brought far more shock to Emperor Chongzhen and the civil and military officials than to capture the slave chief Huang Taiji alive.

After all, Huang Taiji was just a chief who was blocked from outside, but the imperial seal was always a thorn in the hearts of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!

Looking at all dynasties in China, we have paid great attention to the legitimacy of the monarch's power and heavenly gifts. The imperial jade seal is a physical symbol of the monarch's power and heavenly gifts. If you have the imperial jade seal, you are the emperor who is ordered by heaven. If you do not have the imperial jade seal, then you are not the true emperor who is ordered by heaven. To put it bluntly, it is the pseudo-dynasty and the pseudo-emperor!

Since Hongwu, the imperial seal has been lost.

Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to control the excitement in his heart and said to the Minister of Rites Xie Sheng: "Thank you, my dear, let me know!"

Xie Sheng, the Minister of Rites, did not dare to neglect, hurriedly stepped forward and took the yellow silk cloth from Wang Pu's hand and untied it layer by layer. Then he carefully took out the five-inch radius jade seal, and he and his ministers from the Ministry of Rites, Fang Fengnian, Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan, and the cabinet chief minister Cheng Jiming, and the second assistant Zhou Yanru, Wei Zhaocheng and other ministers began to carefully distinguish them.

After half an hour, Xie Sheng carefully held the imperial seal and knelt on the Danbu. He was so excited that he even changed his voice and shouted sharply: "Long live, I have checked it clearly. This jade seal is indeed the imperial seal that has been lost in the desert for more than two hundred years!"

"Okay, great!"

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this. The return of the imperial seal was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty, and even more significance to the Ming Dynasty, which is now in a turmoil! In the ancient feudal superstition, people easily linked this matter with a certain "will of heaven" and believed that this was a precursor to the Ming Dynasty's upcoming revival.

"Wang Aiqing." Emperor Chongzhen Long Yan said happily, "You have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty for me. Tell me, how should I reward you? What kind of reward do you want?"

"This..." Wang Pu smiled softly, "This is all a blessing. Why do I have any merits? How dare I invite rewards?"

"Hahaha." Emperor Chongzhen laughed, "Say, boldly, what do you want?"

Wang Pu said: "What... Is it true?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked around his ministers and laughed, "Hahaha, Wang Aiqing is still a little embarrassed."

The ministers burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely enthusiastic. Speaking of which, since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty had never been so happy. Some older old ministers were even moved to tears. It was not easy. The Ming Dynasty finally showed signs of revival.

Wang Pu took a breath and said loudly: "Since that's the case, I said bravely that when Jining cleared out the White Lotus monster, the two captured Jiannu women ran away. I hope that Long live can save me from the guilt of poor care, and I also hope that Long live can reward all the property I plundered from Liaodong to my soldiers."

Hearing Wang Pu's words, Fu Shuxun, the Minister of Revenue, wanted to leave the class to speak, but after looking at Emperor Chongzhen who was in high spirits, he gave up.

"I agree." Emperor Chongzhen responded without hesitation, "Do you have any other requests besides these?"

In normal times, Emperor Chongzhen would never agree to this request. Maybe he would give Wang Pu a reprimand, especially the property that Wang Pu plundered from Liaodong. Emperor Chongzhen originally made up his mind to return to the national treasury, but now, since Wang Pu has recovered the long-lost jade seal, everything is easy to say.

"It's gone." Wang Pu quickly shook his head, "I have no other request."

"The jade seal of the kingdom returns to the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Aiqing has made outstanding achievements." Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and continued, "I only reward some property. I am afraid that the people in the world will say that I am petty. Haha, in this way, I will give you a gold medal for avoiding death today. In the future, you or your descendants will commit a death penalty. As long as you take out this gold medal for avoiding death, you will be free of worries!"

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen took off a gold medal from his waist and ordered Wang Chengen to hand it over to Wang Pu.

The ministers were upset and avoid death from the gold medal? That is the supreme honor and favor!

Wang Pu took the gold medal of avoiding death from Wang Chengen and said happily: "Thank you, Master."

I didn't say that, Wang Pu really likes this thing.

"Hahaha." Emperor Chongzhen laughed three times and continued, "Where are you here, bring Jiannunu Chief Emperor Taiji!"

Wang Chengen rushed forward two steps and shouted at the top of his voice: "Long live the order, bring Huang Taiji..."

Two great Han generals who had been waiting outside the hall immediately rushed Huang Taiji to the hall. Although Huang Taiji was already a prisoner, he refused to kneel down after entering the hall, and looked calm.

"Huang Taiji, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Although Emperor Chongzhen's voice was not heavy, it sounded like a sense of powerlessness without anger.

Huang Taiji snorted from his nostrils and said proudly: "I am also the king of a country, why should I kneel down to you?"

"Rareless!" Xie Sheng, the Minister of Rites, angrily scolded, "The barbarians dare to call themselves the country, and the barbarians dare to claim their respect. They are simply a monkey-like crown, shameless."

"Is that true?" Huang Taiji counterattacked calmly, "Since the Ming Dynasty is the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, and our Qing Dynasty is just a barbarian, why has the supreme country of the Celestial Empire been defeated by the bailers over the past decades and lost land, and retreated step by step? It is true that the supreme rule of the will of heaven and the hearts of the people. Our Qing Dynasty rejuvenates Liaodong and takes the Ming Dynasty and has the world as the general trend!"

Cheng Ji, the chief minister of the cabinet, came out to scold, "You Tungus savages, I, the Great Ming Dynasty, educated your ancestors, and made you understand etiquette, shame, farming, fishing and hunting. But not only do you not want to repay your kindness, but you go against each other and bring disaster to our descendants of the Great Ming Dynasty, which is simply ungrateful."

Huang Taiji said with a hungry voice: "Although the body of the old cow is huge, one day it will die, and although the wings of the eagle are tender, one day it will fly into the blue sky. The emerging Qing Dynasty will one day replace the decaying Ming Dynasty and become the new master of the Central Plains."

Wang Pu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just because more than 100,000 Jiannu from Liaodong want to enter the Central Plains? Do you know how many Han people there are in the Central Plains? 20,000! Even if everyone spits, they can drown your hundreds of thousands of Jiannu. You are really a toad yawning, and you are such a big tone!"

The ministers burst into laughter.

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said calmly: "Go down."

Two great Han generals twisted Huang Taiji and left the hall. Emperor Chongzhen asked his ministers again: "I have seen Jiannu's slave chief and all my beloved ministers. Apart from being fatter, they do not have the legendary three heads and six arms and three feet tall. They also carry their heads on both shoulders, and they are also flesh and blood."

The ministers burst into laughter again. This was really a joyful moment. Even Emperor Chongzhen, who had never liked to tell jokes, started joking. Chongzhen laughed and said to the ministers: "While the banquet is still some time, I want to discuss with all my dear friends, how should I deal with the slave chief Huang Taiji?"

"Is this necessary to discuss?" Wang Pu shouted, "Of course it was cut into pieces!"

Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, quickly came out to report: "Long live, I think what General Wang said is so true, Huang Taiji should be punished."

Zhou Yanru, the second assistant to the cabinet, also came out to echo: "Long live, I will discuss it."

Many officials who only followed Zhou Yanru's horse leader came out and passionately demanded that Huang Taiji be executed. But at this moment, Liu Zongzhou, the left censor, held his teeth and said, "Long live, I think Jiannu has harmed the border of the Ming Dynasty for decades and committed countless murders. Although he should be cut off from the crime, the Ming Dynasty is a country of the Celestial Empire after all, and the country of dignified etiquette can be seen as much as the barbarians?"

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Liu Zongzhou paused and said, "In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty released the Turkic Khan Jie Li, and brought hundreds of years of peace to the frontier. Why not follow the examples of the ancestors and repay grievances with virtue? If Huang Taiji can be released and then influenced by righteousness and released him to Liaodong, then Jiannu will be grateful to our great Ming Dynasty and will not face each other with swords and weapons. From then on, the Liao affairs will be stopped."

"Long live my opinion."

"Long live, I think what Lord Liu said is not without reason."

"Long live, I also think Huang Taiji should be released and should not be killed."

As soon as Liu Zongzhou finished speaking, the censors of the Qingliu school all went out to advise Emperor Chongzhen to release Huang Taiji.
