Liu Fangming wanted to eat Sun Chuanting, who was so heartbroken that he could even see the fierce light coming out of the eyes of these trusted servants around him.

Liu Fangming couldn't help but pull out the knife and looked at the servants with his eyes.

Fortunately, most of the servants were kept by him, so he did not act rashly.

Several of his sons and nephews also pulled out their knives and protected Liu Fangming around: "Father (uncle), what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? Sun Chuanting is never merciless in his work and pays attention to eliminating the roots. Today, you and I will die, so it's better to fight him once!"

Liu Fangming couldn't help but wail as he said: "It's only one day away, only one day away! The soldiers recruited and the robbed food and money have been made for Sun Chuanting's wedding dress."

At this time, a sharp arrow suddenly broke through the air and hit Liu Fangming's son's chest.

Liu Fangming was furious in shock. When he looked up, he saw that it was the adopted son he had taken in some time ago. He couldn't help but roar: "Li Hongji, what are you going to do!"

"It's nothing. Li thanks the master for taking in it, but as the saying goes, everyone flies when the disaster comes. Now Li wants to borrow your head for you!"

Li Hong's name is Li Zicheng. As soon as the Jinyiwei and Sun Chengzong came to Shaanxi to search him, he had always been suspicious that he thought the court was going to punish him, so he quietly fled his hometown, but by chance he became Liu Fangming's adopted son.

Li Hongji said that, and shot his nephew to death with another arrow, and then slashed it with one knife, and Liu Fangming's head fell into his hands.

As soon as Li Hongji offered his head, Sun Chuanting immediately came to Dingbian Castle with Liu Fangming's head: "The thief's leader has been killed, and he will withdraw his troops and return to the camp!"

...

In the Forbidden City, in the Qianqing Palace, the new top scholar Guan Shaoning, the second-level Shi Kefa, and Tanhua Yang Tinglin and the other two were standing respectfully in front of Zhu Youxiao.

However, when Guan Shaoning raised his head, he was full of horror and took a few steps back. He did not expect that the person who used to pretend to be Uncle Li Mingruishi in Qiongfanglou would be His Majesty today!

Shi Kefa was a little nervous, especially when he thought of the heavy-faced person in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the scene of bloody massacre of thousands of scholars in front of the Taimiao.

Only Tanhua Yang Tinglin held his head up and his chest looked like a soldier. He bent down to Zhu Youxiao with neither humility nor arrogant words: "The new first-class Tanhua and Yang Tinglin met the emperor!"

Guan Shaoning was first met by Zhu Youxiao during a private visit. Shi Kefa was a very controversial figure like Yuan Chonghuan and was very famous and was actually selected as one of Zhu Youxiao's first literary talent. However, Yang Tinglin did not know at first, but actually learned from the palace examination paper that this famous minister of the later anti-Qing Dynasty had participated in the imperial examination in the eighth year of the Tianqi period in advance.

Guan Shaoning and Shi Kefa were busy and bent down to bow to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao shouted Ju Ping before standing up and said, "The country is in a critical situation now. You are both new Jinshi and top three in the first class. In the future, you should be an example for all ministers. Do you not be pretentious, seek fame and act voluntarily. Do you understand?"

Although Zhu Youxiao was talking to the three of them, he was pointing out Shi Kefa. Of course, whether Shi Kefa could understand the meaning. If Shi Kefa did not understand, he would have to stay in the Hanlin Academy or the Royal Academy of Sciences for a lifetime in the future.

After seeing the first three Jinshis in the new subject, Zhu Youxiao had just had a lunch break when Xu Xianchun hurried into the palace:

"Your Majesty, I just got the news. Sun Chuanting, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, led his troops to Maoziling overnight. After ambushing Cui Minhao's troops, he brought the elite servants of Taiyuan General Zhou Yuji to disguise themselves as a grain transport team and sneaked into Dingbian Fortress. He successfully suppressed Liu Fangming. The Liu family servants named Li Hongji offered their heads. Now the matter of Liu Fangming's uprising has been eliminated. All the recovered food has been handed over to Sun Chengzong, and finally it can be solved for a few months."

After Xu Xianchun said that, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, Sun Chuanting, who is worthy of being a famous evil spirit. Your Jinyiwei also has made contributions to this matter. If the information was not in time, it would not be so smooth. Especially the one named Chen Lian was directly promoted to Qianhu, and hereditary. In addition, I also gave you the title of your crown prince's young tutor and gave you the cowfing uniform. Sun Chuanting, you sent the order to the cabinet and give you the title of the young master. His father was awarded the first-rank Guanglu doctor, and his mother was awarded the first-rank imperial edict."

In order to win people's hearts, Zhu Youxiao is now willing to reward those who are willing to do things in a real way. Anyway, these rewards can't cost much money, so why not do it?

"Thank you for your kindness. In fact, these are all your wisdom. If your Majesty had not ordered our Jinyiwei to shift its focus to military intelligence as early as last year, Your Majesty also asked us to use the Moss code. Sometimes, even if the enemy is discovered by the enemy, the enemy will not be able to guess it." Xu Xianchun didn't expect that he could be ranked among the three orphans, so he was naturally very excited, and at the same time he did not forget to flatter him.

Zhu Youxiao was also very happy. What he was most worried about was that while the Tartars entered the pass, large-scale incidents occurred in Qin and Jin.

But now at least the incident of fighting on both sides has been avoided. However, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to let the Later Jin Tartars and Zu Dashou know, so he then ordered Xu Xianchun to strictly block Liu Fang's famous troops and leaked the news that Sun Chuanting continued to mobilize troops to gather in the Yansui area, in order to create the illusion that something big happened in the Qin and Jin areas for Huang Taiji.

Here, Gangbatai, the son of the traitor Li Yongfang, secretly met Zu Dabi again: "Brother, according to our spies, Sun Chuanting from Datong has frequently mobilized troops to move westward recently. It seems that Liu Fangming has really started to cause trouble. In this way, the situation will be better. Maybe we can still rob Jin at that time. You must know that the Taiyuan area is also full of fertile ground."

"We also got the same news. Now that Zhu Youxiao has begun to transfer the troops from the south to serve the king. It seems that the troops are not enough. Today, another imperial edict urged my brother to enter Beijing quickly. It is obvious that Zhu Youxiao can't sit still, haha!"

Zu Dabi laughed loudly, then communicated with Gangbatai and returned to the army with a few silver notes and a little drunk.

But just as he entered a forest, the two Tartars appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but be stunned for a long time, and even greeted him in Manchu: "Two Jurchen brothers, don't look at me like this. I know your great Bele Daishan and Gangbatai. I am Zu Dabi. It's up to me to survive this winter."

"General Zu is really powerful and worthy of being a great traitor. He has close contacts with the Tartars," the Tartars started to laugh.

Zu Dabi couldn't help but be surprised and said, "I didn't expect that your Chinese language is so smooth. It's true that he was the old Liao people who joined the Eight Banners back then?"

"No, I am not a Tartar, I am a Qin native, with the surname Zhang and nicknamed Huang Hu. I finally escaped from my hometown and was entrusted by someone to ask for your head. If I take the head to see him with the head, he will give me a hundred taels of silver and join the Jinyiwei. You said that this is a good deal, but I met it."

Zu Dabi didn't know that this guy was Zhang Xianzhong, who was famous in later generations, but now he was indeed a little scared: "I dare to ask, who wants to kill me?"
