Three hundred and twenty chapters: the government and the public are shocked
This is not the first time that everyone in the Golden Palace has come. Of course, they are familiar with the road and do not need to be led by others. They all understand the procedures they should follow. Liu Yi was also very moved. He still remembers that it was already during the Tianqi period when he was awarded the first time in the Golden Palace. He didn't expect that he would accept the reward again today. And according to his contributions several times, he was afraid that he would be promoted to a considerable official this time. Liu Yi was also secretly excited, and the burden on him was getting heavier and heavier, but he was fearless. Since he came, he had to do his best. The fate of the Ming Dynasty was written by himself, to defy the heavens and change his destiny, and to conquer nature.
The atmosphere in the Golden Palace today is different from the past. The previous time I came here was when the cruising army was formed. At that time, Huang Taiji's army was still in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The haze enveloped the entire Ming Dynasty. The atmosphere in the court was naturally very depressing. Today is different from the past. Everyone in the court today is full of energy, and even Han Yu, who is usually serious, has a smile on his face.
The cabinet and officials of all six ministries gathered together. Today, Chongzhen has issued an edict that all the officials above the seventh rank in Beijing will attend the court meeting. This is the first time in the first place. According to the Ming Dynasty, only officials of the fifth rank or above can participate in the court meeting. Although the Golden Palace is large enough, it is a symbol of status. There are as many officials in the capital. Walking on the street, you may be an official. The level of the officialdom is pyramid type, and the number of people below is naturally large. For example, in today's court meeting, Chongzhen allowed officials of the sixth rank and seventh rank to participate. The two ranks of officials are actually more than the five ranks of officials in the previous five ranks. It is impossible not to mention Chong
Zhen gave enough military officials and praised the Youzi Army heavily. On the one hand, it was certainly because the achievements of the Youzi Army were indestructible. On the other hand, it was also a disguised commendation of Sun Chengzong and the generals of the entire Ming Dynasty who commanded the battle. After all, it was already the Chongzhen period, and the Ming Dynasty's military preparations were abolished, and the status of the military was increasingly low. It was not until Huang Taiji entered the pass that Chongzhen suddenly realized that he could rely on the civil service group to govern the world, but to defend the country, he had to rely on the army. The emperor did this to give the army a reassurance and also made all the generals proud. Because the court sent a clear signal. In the moment of chaos in state affairs, he still had to rely on the generals to turn the tide.
(Fisherman's Note: Looking at the Ming Dynasty, the status of military generals was like riding a roller coaster. When Zhu Yuanzhang's Red Turban Army became prosperous in the early years, military generals occupied an absolute dominance, including Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other military generals after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. However, when the situation in the country stabilized, Zhu Yuanzhang inevitably began to embark on the path of founding emperors of all generations and killed meritorious officials. It is rumored that Xu Da had a poisonous sore on his back and was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang with steamed goose. Of course, this is a folk legend.
But the fisherman thought that Xu Da died of illness because of his old comrades and old colleagues who were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. After the early Ming Dynasty, the situation in the Ming Dynasty became more and more stable, and then many areas were not aware of military forces for a hundred years. So between the Jiajing and Wanli periods, dozens of small Japanese pirates could kill all the way to the city of Nanjing, as if they were in a no-man state. The status of the military general plummeted from the middle of the Ming Dynasty and continued until the Chongzhen period. During the Chongzhen period, it was the Ming Dynasty martial arts.
The last time a man looked up, the military men of the Ming Dynasty shone brightly during the Chongzhen period. Of course, there were good people and bad people here. But after reading the history books of the late Ming Dynasty, you can find that Chongzhen killed civil servants just like killing them. After seventeen years in power, he killed countless civil servants. But how many military generals have killed? Many people think that because the generals have soldiers, Chongzhen is afraid that they will rebel and dare not kill them. The fisherman believes that the fundamental reason is that Chongzhen's indulgence caused this
The strength of some generals became stronger. After Huang Taiji first entered the pass, Chongzhen realized the importance of military preparations. Then the entire Ming Dynasty's policies were tilted towards military generals. In essence, Chongzhen caused such a situation. Finally, the separatist form of vassal states in the late Ming Dynasty was formed. In the early days of Chongzhen, he blindly maintained the military people, but had no good way to control them, which caused such bad consequences. In short, the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, Chongzhen himself was half responsible.)
From the moment Liu Yi, Lu Xiangsheng and others stepped onto the Golden Palace, they discovered the huge scene today, and the number of officials was twice as many as usual. However, Liu Yi was relatively calm in his two lives. Lu Xiangsheng, as a civil servant, was of course a little cunning, but Hou Gongji had been in the border town, so he had never seen such a scene, so his steps were a little vague. What kind of grace does the emperor want to give them? Sun Xing was also secretly excited. After following the Pavilion Master for many years, even after the Pavilion Master was demoted, Sun Xing was always with him. It can be said that Sun Xing was the confidant of Sun Chengzong, so after re-activated Sun Chengzong, Sun Xing became a deputy general. After today's reward, I'm afraid he would lead the army alone. What should I do if the Pavilion Master did? Sun Xing was thinking about it.
"Long live my emperor." According to the process, everyone naturally worshiped the emperor with great gifts, and Chongzhen was happy to let the beloved ministers calm down. There were no other topics in the court meeting today, because there were too many officials to be awarded, and the imperial edicts were written in a long string. As for Hou Shilu and others who had been promoted to the releasing official, who were not in the capital, they could only read out the rewards to them first. Anyway, these people had actually received the rewards when they were in the capital. It can be said that the protagonist today was Liu Yi and other generals of the Youshi Army.
Wang Chengen quickly read out the rewards for Sun Chengzong, Han Yu, Hou Shilu, Yang Guodong and other senior officials. These people also made great efforts in the battle for the king. Moreover, they were pillar ministers, so it would be no harm to add some titles to them. Besides, the rewards had long been agreed in the Yangxin Palace. The disciples and former officials of the big bosses had already received some news. Moreover, it was a good thing for their leaders to receive praise, so naturally no one would stand up to oppose them. So after Wang Chengen finished reading, Han Yu and Sun Chengzong and other officials in Beijing all the rewarded representatives, shouting long live and thanking the holy ethics.
After reading their rewards, they naturally came to the highlight, which was the rewards to Liu Yi and four others. Liu Yi was the main general and naturally put it to the end. Lu Xiangsheng and Hou Gongji were the deputy generals, and Sun Xing was the supervisor of the army. So I started with Sun Xing. Wang Chengen took out a new imperial edict from the cover and recited loudly: "The emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: "The deputy general of the Jing camp, Sun Xing, was the deputy general of the Jing camp, and was rewarded with loyalty and righteousness. He helped the Minister of War Sun Chengzong to defend the city. He also voluntarily joined the cruising army and went deep into Jizhen to re-create the enemy. I felt very relieved. I specially appointed Sun Xing as the governor of the Jing camp, with the title of deputy general, and was given the title of General Dragon and Tiger, and the guard!"
"Wow! Oh!" A burst of exclamations came, and Sun Xing was stunned. He was originally a guerrilla man when he followed Sun Chengzong. This time, Sun Chengzong revived, so he had the job of being a general. Unexpectedly, the emperor promoted him to deputy general, and the deputy general was not the same as the admiral of the Jing camp. Sun Xing knew very well what the admiral of the Jing camp meant. The admiral of the Jing camp was the person in charge of the three major camps of the capital, and he had always been the official of the foreign relatives and officials. This position can be said to be directly related to the safety of the emperor. He was not a confidant. During the Jisi period, Sun Chengzong personally took over the Beijing camp. Unexpectedly, the emperor would take this important task now.
It was given to Sun Xing. It was equivalent to expressing his deep trust in Sun Chengzong in disguise. Sun Xing suddenly became the actual ruler. How could he not be excited? This is really the only one who scorpion shit. Especially when he was given the title of General Dragon and Tiger and the Guardian, he suddenly pulled his honorary and scattered officials to the second-rank top. What a glory this is, Sun Xing was so happy that he was about to faint. His face turned red and he forgot to thank him for his gratitude. It was Lu Xiangsheng who was beside him who reminded him and kowtowed to thank him, as if he could immediately go to the sword to the mountain and the sea of fire for the emperor. Chongzhen was also relieved, and Sun Chengzong also looked at Sun Xing with a smile.
"I have Hou Gongji, the general of Xuanfu Town, who is extremely brave and brave enough to fight the enemy. Although he guards the nine borders, he can serve the king in time and make a contribution. Later, he voluntarily joined the You Cruise Army and killed very much, promoting the power of our army. He specially appointed Hou Gongji as the deputy general of Xuanfu. After Hou Shilu, the general of Xuanfu, he took over as the general of Xuanfu, and was appointed General Jinwu, and was appointed as General Guardian!" Wang Chengen said loudly.
Another exclaimed in the same way. Hou Gongji never expected that the emperor would plan what happened several years later. The golden mouth would not be taken back as soon as the deputy general opened. The deputy general made a promise that his father would take over as the general of Xuanfu after he retreated. What a great holy grace was. The nine generals on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the nine most powerful people among the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Now, Hou Gongji was awarded the emperor's reward at a young age. It can be foreseen that after his father came back this time, he would gradually give in. The generals in the Xuanfu were actually himself. Hou Gongji was trembling all over and knocked his head pounding.
