    "Mr. Fang Ge, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the soldiers in the border town are deceiving Your Majesty?" Zhang Weixian's old face was stern and he immediately retorted!

    "Hmph!" Fang Congzhe sneered a few times and said: "I have been an official for many years, and I have read a lot of reports at the border. Not to mention the beheading of three thousand and five people, I have never even reported on the beheading of thirty-five people.  I¡¯ve seen it happen, and I¡¯m afraid that only the old prince would dare to achieve such a great victory at once!¡±

    Fang Congzhe¡¯s words were not that the generals in Bianzhen were deceiving the emperor, but that he pointed the finger directly at Zhang Weixian, saying that he used his status as a prince to instruct the generals in Bianzhen to commit fraud!

    Zhang Weixian was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he was very deep in the city and sneered: "Mr. Fang Ge, you can't say that. Back then, the Ministry of War fell into the hands of civilian officials, and the soldiers at the border were also oppressed by civilian officials. Naturally, they couldn't  Showing bravery, now it¡¯s all thanks to Long Live the Yingming Shenwu, which has allowed the border officers and soldiers to get rid of the control of civilian officials, and their abilities have naturally been shown. What¡¯s the big deal about killing thousands of Tatars who came to the Ming Dynasty to plunder?¡±

    Zhang Weixian¡¯s words were also vicious, pointing the finger directly at the incompetence of civil servants. Not only did Fang Congzhe quit his job, but Liu Yishen, who had recently regarded himself as a literary master and seldom interfered with political affairs, became angry!

    Liu Yishen took a step forward and said: "What the old man said is wrong. When the civilian officials took charge of the Ministry of War, they did not say that the generals must defeat the battles. However, the border towns were still losing one after another. This can only be said that the generals themselves have  The question is, how can we blame it on the civilian officials? Besides, this victory report is so exaggerated that no one can believe it is true. If nothing else is said, it is said in the report that six thousand bandits invaded and beheaded.  Three thousand and five, and five thousand of the enemy were captured. Where did the extra two thousand and five thieves come from? Seeing that they were defeated, the thieves could not have summoned more than two thousand as gifts to the soldiers in the border town, right?"

    Liu Yishen, an old fellow, has infiltrated Zhu Youxiao's gang and has thoroughly studied the manuscripts Zhu Youxiao gave him on the interpretation of classics. I don't know if he has made any other progress, but his ability to sophistry and hurt others is  Really good at it!

    After hearing what Liu Yishen said, the civil servants let out a big sigh of relief, and someone immediately laughed out loud.

    Although Zhang Weixian knew that the good news could not be lied, he was still alone in the court. He was ridiculed by the civil servants. For a moment, he couldn't resist it, and he was speechless!

    Zhu Youxiao was enjoying watching the fight between the two sides. Now seeing that Zhang Weixian was at a disadvantage, he naturally couldn't look at Zhang Weixian and make a joke like this!

    Then he coughed lightly and said, "I know why there are more than two thousand people!"

    Although Zhu Youxiao¡¯s voice was not loud, it shocked the faces of all the civil and military officials to suddenly change!

    Zhang Weixian was shocked that the little emperor actually had a way to get the news. Although he had already made a guess about this matter, but it was confirmed by the little emperor himself, which still made him feel guilty!

    What surprised the civil servants was that since the little emperor said he knew where those two thousand people came from, doesn't that mean that this report, which seemed like child's play, was true?

    But that¡¯s incredible!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the dumbfounded civil and military officials and said slowly: "Han Siwen, the nine-border military police officer, told me in a secret report that this battle actually ended on the second day of the first lunar month of the first year of Tianqi. At that time, he was beheaded.  Three thousand and five, and captured two thousand two thousand enemies. However, Cao Wenzhao later learned that the Mongolian camp was less than 200 miles away from the border wall, so he led his army to raid again. It took ten days to clear out the Mongols outside the border wall.  We have just captured more than 2,000 Mongolians, and now Cao Wenzhao has ordered the prisoners to be brought to the capital. Whether it is true or false will naturally become clear when the prisoners arrive in the capital!"

    Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui and all the civil servants have nothing to say this time. If they just use the report to talk about things, then the two sides will start a verbal war.

    "But they are going to escort the prisoners to Beijing, so what nonsense!"

    No matter how many Mongolians are killed, as long as more than 5,000 Mongolians are really taken as prisoners, it will be a great victory that the dynasty will never see in a century!

    But what makes the civil servants dissatisfied is that such a great victory came at the wrong time. It happened just after the Ministry of War was separated from the civil service system!

    This situation can only mean two things!

    First, civilian officials are incompetent. Previous military failures were all caused by civilian officials!

    Second, the little emperor¡¯s decision was completely correct. The opposition of the civil servants at the beginning was a complete joke!

    Fang Congzhe looked at the smiling Zhu Youxiao, and a bright smile suddenly bloomed on his face. He bowed and said: "Old minister, I congratulate your majesty on this great victory. Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

    &nbspOnly then did all the ministers react, saluting in unison and shouting: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on this great victory, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

    Zhu Youxiao raised his hands in vain and said with a full smile: "Your Majesty, no courtesy, this victory is all due to the lives of the border officers and soldiers, all ministers and ministers assisted me, I am happy with you all!"

    As soon as Zhu Youxiao said these words, the matter was settled, but Fang Congzhezhe felt bitter in his heart, because since the border battle was won, it is natural to reward him!

    But how should we reward the merit of beheading 3,500 people and capturing 5,000 enemies?  How much reward?  Where does the money come from?  But this is what Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, has to worry about!

    Thinking of this, Fang Congzhe felt his head swell twice, but he couldn't die because he was dizzy, and he still had to face what he had to face.

    However, Fang Congzhe is not stubborn. At this time, he naturally wants to take action on the little emperor. Anyway, the little emperor has just dealt with his uncle and made millions of taels of silver. If he doesn't get some money at this time, maybe  After a while, this money will be wiped out again!

    Although Zhu Youxiao was sitting on the throne, he instantly felt Fang Congzhe's sneaky gaze, and Zhu Youxiao immediately had a bad feeling!

    Sure enough, Fang Congzhe's face fell, and he said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, for this great victory, the border officers and soldiers will definitely reward you greatly, but your Majesty also knows what the situation is in the Ministry of Revenue. Do you think this reward money?"

    Although Fang Congzhe didn¡¯t finish what he said, everyone knew what he meant, and the entire court fell silent, waiting to see how the little emperor would respond!

    Zhu Youxiao originally thought that he would spend a sum of money to buy slaves, cattle and horses this time, but he didn't expect that the old guy Fang Congzhe couldn't even come up with the money to reward him, and he even had his own idea.

    Suddenly Zhu Youxiao smiled coldly and said: "Mr. Fang Ge, the soldiers' meritorious service must be rewarded by the court. Isn't it possible that the court can't come up with this money?"

    Fang Congzhe spread his hands and said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, the court really can't afford this money now!"

    Zhu Youxiao really didn¡¯t expect that Lao Fang was so thick-skinned that he would pretend to be a dead dog in front of the civil and military officials of the court. He didn¡¯t know what to say for a while!
