    The capital palace is still as calm as usual, with a hint of indifference in the calm.

    From time to time, Zhu Houzhao's loud cheers came from the Qianqing Palace. Of course, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others also echoed.

    In the middle of the hall, two majestic fighting cocks with their feathers standing on end stared at each other, looking for an opportunity to kill the enemy with one blow.

    Zhu Houzhao was wearing a dragon robe, lying on the ground in a disgraceful manner, beating the ground hard with one hand, foaming at the mouth and shouting.

    "Mighty General, peck it! Peck it! Peck it to death and I will make you a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Give me a good reputation!" Zhu Houzhao shouted with his face flushed.

    Liu Jin nodded hurriedly at the side: "Oh, mighty general, have you heard His Majesty's decree clearly? Your promotion is just around the corner. This is the Emperor's grace. Why don't you help Your Majesty quickly?  ¡­¡±

    There is no doubt that one of the fighting cocks in the palace is also called the mighty general, and he is hereditary for the third generation.

    Ever since he discovered that Qin Kan was the nemesis of the mighty generals of all dynasties, Zhu Houzhao had not dared to play cockfighting for a long time, fearing that Qin Kan would enter the palace at any time and kill his beloved general Yihe. Until Qin Kan left Beijing to inspect northern Liaodong, Zhu Houzhao  Then he ordered people to bring out the fighting cocks that Liu Jin had collected for many days and stage a full martial arts show.

    The atmosphere was tense and lively. Everyone took Zhu Houzhao's preference as their favorite, and cheered and cheered for the mighty general in unison. Not to mention his combat power, public opinion was already one-sided.

    Zhu Houzhao shouted a few words and suddenly felt a little uninterested, and his attention was no longer on the two fighting cocks. After a moment of silence, he stood up, tilted his head and said doubtfully: "Liu Jin"

    "The old slave is here."

    "I have been feeling uneasy these past few days. Did something happen in the court?"

    Liu Jin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the court is calm and peaceful. The three bachelors and the old servants are sharing the state affairs for your Majesty. The Ming Dynasty has been quite peaceful recently, but there is a small locust plague in Shandong. The court's relief  Food and grass were delivered to Shandong last month. The chieftain of Sichuan rebelled and led hundreds of thousands of people to shout and utter treacherous words. The little toad sat in the well and looked at the sky, speaking loudly. The chieftain of Sichuan sent out two guards and horses to kill the chieftain.  Suppressed Your Majesty, apart from these two things, there is really nothing else worth mentioning."

    Zhu Houzhao frowned and pondered for a long time, and said: "Where is Qin Kan? Qin Kan inspected Liaodong, and I received his last report saying that Li Gao, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was taken away. It also represented me, the imperial court, and Duoyan Guard.  After forming an alliance, counting the days, it's time for him to come back, right? Why hasn't there been any movement?"

    Liu Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is hundreds of miles from Liaodong to the capital. Mr. Qin led thousands of honor guards all the way. It will take at least half a month to walk. Your Majesty, please don't be impatient."

    Zhu Houzhao hummed: "Why am I anxious? Whether this guy is leaving or staying in Liaodong, he has to bring something to me. There are so many military posts from the capital to Guanwai, how much trouble will it take to send a fast horse to the capital? I'm still waiting.  He came back to talk about the process of eradicating traitors in Liaodong. A villain who commanded the Six Guards took care of them immediately. I don¡¯t know whether it was due to his invincible luck or the bad water in his stomach"

    Listening to Zhu Houzhao's intimate tone, Liu Jin couldn't help but smacked her lips, and her old face suddenly turned sour.

    "Your Majesty, Mr. Qin's temperament is different from other ministers. He is used to living alone, and I am afraid that I don't have the habit of asking for advice on everything"

    Zhang Yong, who had just returned to Beijing from Liaodong to declare an imperial edict, heard Liu Jin's insinuation and provocative words. He couldn't help but snorted loudly, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave just came back from outside the customs. Lord Qin said before leaving.  After the military and political consolidation in Liaodong, he set off back to Beijing and asked the old slave to report it to His Majesty. The old slave reported it to His Majesty on the day he returned to the capital. Humph! The old slave thinks that some people should first take a look at their own virtues.  , He obviously holds all the power with one hand, and even with bribes and money, his hands are weak, but he has the nerve to say that others don¡¯t have the habit of asking for bribes, it¡¯s extremely ridiculous!¡±

    Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, his old face suddenly turned red, and he said in a sharp voice: "Zhang Yong, you are such a bastard, what do you mean by this? Speak clearly!"

    Zhang Yong raised his chest without showing any signs of weakness and said: "What if we make it clear? Are the Za family afraid of you? I'm talking about you! Liu Jin, you know what you have done. In front of His Majesty, do you dare to open your warehouse?"  , let your majesty see how many rare treasures you have collected these days?"

    Liu Jin¡¯s face turned green, and white mist could be seen rising above his head.

    The two fighting cocks in the middle of the hall had long since ceased, but Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were fighting with each other holding their necks. Their faces were red and their ears were bulging, staring at each other, almost ready to fight.

    Zhu Houzhao already knew about the disagreement between the two, and they even said it in front of Zhu Houzhao more than once.They had quarreled and scolded each other in person. Fortunately, although Zhu Houzhao was mediocre about state affairs and had no good feelings towards civil servants, he was as generous and kind to his family as the eight eunuchs who had served him since childhood. The two had quarreled and scolded many times.  This time Zhu Houzhao was not annoyed.

    Seeing that the two were starting to quarrel again, Zhu Houzhao waved his hands with a headache: "Here we go again! Here we go again! Get out of here, you two old dogs, and stay away. I'll be annoyed when I see you."  !¡±

    Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was impatient, the two of them spontaneously and consciously ceased fighting and grunted at each other.

    When Zhu Houzhao was having a headache, a eunuch looked panicked and stumbled into the Qianqing Palace. He knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and said in a trembling voice with sweat: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from eight hundred miles east of Liaodong. Mr. Qin Kan Qin  problem occurs!"

    There was deathly silence in the palace, and everyone was stunned.

    Zhu Houzhao was stunned: "What happened?"

    "On his way back to Beijing with 8,000 honor guards, Lord Qin encountered 5,000 Tatar cavalry on the east bank of the Liaohe River in Guangning. The two sides fought fiercely. Lord Qin led his troops to resist to the death. Unfortunately, the Tatar cavalry was too powerful, and Lord Qin's officers and soldiers were unable to defeat him.  , finally defeated Liaohe!"

    "Qin Kan Where is Qin Kan and others?"

    "Life or death is uncertain."

    Zhu Houzhao stood there for a long time, with a demented expression as if he had been struck by thunder. Then his face turned red and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Finally, he kicked out angrily, knocking the young eunuch backwards.

    The young eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly knelt down again and kept kowtowing in apology.

    "You fart! Who created the rumor? Let me find him out in Lingchi! How could Qin Kan die? Since I knew him, what storms and waves have we not experienced? What dangers can he not easily solve? How can it be possible for a mere five thousand Tatars?  Kill him?"

    The young eunuch kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, calm down. This matter is absolutely true. How dare I fabricate such a rumor? At the last moment of the battle between the two armies, Master Qin sent someone across the Liao River and delivered a handwritten letter.  Please ask your Majesty to read my final letter."

    Zhu Houzhao took a letter tightly wrapped in oil paper from the young eunuch with a dull expression. He opened it and read two lines, but his face was as pale as paper, and tears fell one drop at a time.  (To be continued.
