Above the main hall, Ye Xianggao and Han Xu looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of suspicion in their eyes.

Is Xiong Tingbi’s performance so clever?

He and Wang Huazhen arrived front and back, as if they came specifically to explain the Liaodong war.

At this time, the entire Wenhua Hall was echoing with the laughter of Emperor Tianqi. The voice was a bit cheerful, a bit joyful, and a little bit of youthful joy.

The anger that arose just now because of the suspicion that Wang Huazhen had taken credit has now turned into excitement and longing.

Who was the last young general to be so talented?

Emperor Tianqi clasped his fingers: Lan Yu, Qi Jiguang, Wang Shouren, well, Li Chengliang can't be counted... After counting, it can only be counted on ten fingers.

The earthen fortress cut off the back of the Ming Dynasty, the three major conquests depleted the people's wealth, and the Sarhu army wiped out all the elites in the country... Today, in the second year of Tianqi, when Emperor Tianqi was only in power for only the second year, the Ming Dynasty...

Won the first big victory over Jianzhou!

And that’s even when all the elite Lao Nu Jianzhou came out...

Wang Qi is just a crown prince. If he is given time to grow up quickly in the sea of ​​blood and corpses in Liaodong, then Emperor Tianqi feels that he can look forward to the scene of the Ancestral Temple comforting his ancestors...

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to pat the emperor's back to soothe his breath. While patting him, he asked softly: "Your Majesty, please take it easy... The family and the country are important, but the dragon's body is also important."<

/p>

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao finally came to his senses. After drinking a full cup of tea, he sat back on the throne and looked at the elders sitting in the hall. They obviously still didn't know the contents of Xiong Tingbi's memorial.

.

"Wei Daban, show the memorial to the elders," Zhu Youxiao sat upright on the chair, suppressed his excitement, and reached out as if to go.

Not long after, Wei Zhongxian handed the memorial to Ye Xiang, the chief minister of the cabinet.

"Mr. Ye Ge, please take a look!" Wei Zhongxian whispered softly, without any hint of the arrogance of Da Jue, the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

In the palace, Emperor Tianqi was busy waiting for Ye Xianggao and others to congratulate him on being a one-day general!

On this side, Ye Xianggao took the memorial from Wei Zhongxian, took his time and lowered his head to read it.

Ye Xianggao looked at it very slowly... Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were both Jinshi scholars. Although one was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the other was from Shandong, their memorials were all written in regular script and were extremely beautiful. However, the difference was that Xiong Tingbi's writing style was very beautiful.

Each word seems to be flying upward, with a sharp edge. But Wang Huazhen has a stronger sense of frustration, giving people a sense of weight.

Tapping the memorial with his fingers tightly, Ye Xianggao was not looking for any gaps in Xiong Tingbi's memorial, but was taking the opportunity to think about countermeasures.

First: Due to Sun Degong's rebellion, Wang Huazhen made improper appointments and was no longer able to continue to patrol Liaodong. In this way, the power of the Donglin Party in Liaodong was weakened.

Second: Xiong Tingbi has made great contributions in coordinating the Liaodong strategy and deserves to be rewarded. With the rise of the Chu Party and the decline of the other, the forces in the DPRK will inevitably be in chaos. This is something that the eunuchs and the enchantress Hakka are happy to see.

Third: The breaking point lies in the first achievement of this battle, Wang Huazhen’s nephew, Wang Qi. Can this person be roped in and used by Donglin?

To show favor by getting promoted to a higher position?

Ye Xianggao's fingers relaxed while he was tapping the memorial, and in an instant, his mind had been made up!

With a click, Ye Xianggao finally closed the memorial in his hand, turned around and handed it to Han Xu beside him.

When the two people made eye contact, their eyes were deep, as if they had read each other's thoughts.

Having been officials in the same dynasty and having cooperated for many years, Ye Xianggao believed that Han Xu had the same thoughts as him at the moment!

Not long after, the four cabinet members looked at it one by one.

On the throne, Emperor Tianqi, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, walked down the jade steps.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi was in a good mood, walking with a breeze, and said loudly:

"I just said that if what Wang Huazhen said was false, he would have deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. If the battle was true, and if Wang Qi, an official from hundreds of households in Guangning, was indeed the first official to contribute to the victory of Sipingbao, then he will be our descendant tomorrow.

Wu Qu, I will write it in my own handwriting! I will grant you the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and increase my rank and rank! In order to inspire the scholars and common people in the world to serve the country!"

With a plop, Wei Zhongxian, who had already prepared his flattery, knelt down on the ground and shouted long live: "I congratulate your majesty on finding the heavenly martial arts star of the Ming Dynasty! God bless my Ming Dynasty! Your majesty is both civilized and military, and has a keen eye for people.

I am only one ten thousandth less than your Majesty!"

What is a minion?

This is it. Always try to figure out the Holy Will. Wei Zhongxian can catch whatever Emperor Tianqi farts.

This is also the brilliance of Wei Zhongxian. Different from the respectful service of his predecessor Wang An, the Chief of Ceremonies, and also different from the excessive cunning of his predecessor Wei Chao, Wei Zhongxian knows best how to figure out the emperor's mind. It is like a worm in the heart of Emperor Tianqi.

, as if he could hear the emperor's voice and know what Emperor Tianqi needs at this moment? What does he want to do? Happy or angry, does he want to be alone or go out to have fun? The Hakka family is responsible for Emperor Tianqi's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Wei Zhongxian controls the emperor.

With their different moods and thoughts, the two of them cooperated and became a perfect match, invincible in the world.

"Hahaha, please get up, Mr. Wei." Wei Zhongxian's flattery made Zhu Youxiao feel very comfortable. He turned to look at the cabinet ministers with several old gods present. Emperor Tianqi looked sternly: "What do you think, all your beloved ministers?"

"Your Majesty, Liaodong has won such a great victory! Wang Qi and other Liaodong generals deserve to be rewarded." Ye Xianggao bowed first, then stood up and said seriously: "In this battle, Wang Qi, an official from one hundred households in Guangning City,

Those who make the first contribution should be rewarded more generously. I believe that high-ranking officials should be given generous salaries and generous salaries, which is the way to employ people!"

"I have no objections!" Han Xu and others stood up and bowed to Emperor Tianqi.

"Okay!" Emperor Tianqi looked at everyone, and at this moment he felt what it means to be united as one heart between the monarch and his ministers, and what it means to work together as one heart.

Emperor Tianqi felt greatly at this moment that changes in the situation in the imperial court affected the entire world, but if the world was at peace and if there were more extraordinary soldiers and generals like Wang Qi, then there would not be so many cliques and cliques in the court!

"Then what kind of reward do you think we should give to Wang Qi to show the virtue of employing people in the court?" Emperor Tianqi paced in the main hall with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say," Han Xu, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up.

"Tell me and listen."

Han Xu bowed and answered: "Wang Qi killed the rebel general Sun Deku and saved the court's face. This is his first merit. He led his army to defeat Huang Taiji, led his army to break through and saved our Liaodong cavalry. This is his second merit. Then he led his army to defeat Huang Taiji.

Mang Gurtai besieged the city, attacked its army, made Jianzhou aware of the power of our imperial court, relieved the danger of Siping Fort, and saved Guangning City from danger. This is the third achievement!"

"With these three merits in hand, according to the imperial regulations, the military position was promoted to the fifth rank of the Guards House, Qianhu, the rank was promoted to Xiaoqi Lieutenant, a certain amount of gold and silver was awarded, and the casual rank was promoted to General of Wude!" Han Xu was originally in charge of the Ministry of Personnel!

, I have a clear understanding of the examples of rewards and reprimands given by ministers of civil and military affairs.

"Five-grade Thousand Households?" Emperor Tianqi smacked his mouth, muttered, turned around and continued pacing.

"Ahem..." Sun Chengzong, who was standing aside, coughed lightly when he saw this.
Chapter completed!
