In the shocked eyes of the court and the country, Hou Gongji kowtowed and retreated. Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and listened to Feng. Everyone was so generous that they did not dare to come out. They held their breath and listened to what Wang Chengen wanted to say next. Wang Chengen cleared his throat and continued to recite. "There is a famous prefect Lu Xiangsheng, who is a civil servant, but he can also fight for the first place to kill slaves, form a militia, serve the king for a hundred miles, and volunteer to join the cruising army, go deep into Jizhen, and go to the battle to kill thieves. This is a model of our Ming Dynasty's civil and military integrity. He specially appointed the Daming Prefect Lu Xiangsheng as a Censor of Zhili, who is in charge of the troops and horses of Zhili, and trains the strong army and assists in the defense of the capital for the court. He is also appointed as the Chief Minister of the Supervisor and the Shangqing."

Lu Xiangsheng could no longer control himself. As a civil official, his feelings were much richer than military generals, and he immediately burst into tears. In the promotion system of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials were much more difficult than military generals. The road to promotion of civil officials was very narrow. Unlike military generals, they could reach the sky in one step by step by step. However, civil officials needed to survive step by step. How many white-haired people could only become poor officials in their entire lives. The famous prefect for Lu, who was thirty years old.

Xiang Sheng is already a high-ranking official, but he didn't expect that he would become a Zhili Censor. The Zhili Censor is only one level lower than the governor of Zhili in terms of rank, and is a civil servant of the second rank. In the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, the civil servant of the second rank is even more valuable than the general of the first rank. Not to mention the official officials, the emperor actually handed over the military power of Zhili to Lu Xiangsheng. This is no different from Sun Xing's management of the Beijing Camp, and even the power must be more

After all, the Beijing camp is nothing under the emperor's nose. The military power in charge of Zhili can be used without permission. There are at least 50,000 soldiers in Zhili. This is a huge power. The entire capital is surrounded by Zhili. In particular, the emperor also granted him the power to train the new army in Zhili. This time, the Ming army suffered heavy losses. Many places have to recruit soldiers and expand their troops. Many soldiers and horses in Zhili have been replenished to the border town.

.Now Lu Xiangsheng can completely rebuild a Zhili army. What does that mean? That is, if Lu Xiangsheng has selfish intentions, he can completely insert the generals of the entire Zhili New Army into his own confidants and turn himself into the de facto general of Zhili. The sage general gave him such great power. How trust is this? Lu Xiangsheng will not be able to repay the holy grace even if he dies for thousands of years. Lu Xiangsheng immediately burst into tears and said bluntly that he is willing to go through fire and water for the sage, and he will never refuse.

(Fisherman's note: After Lu Xiangsheng took over as the Zhili Censor, he established the Tianxiong Army, which left a rich mark in history in the late Ming Dynasty. The Tianxiong Army followed him to fight south and north, and made great achievements in the battle with the Jin soldiers and Qing soldiers. Finally, in the Battle of Julu, because friendly troops were afraid of fighting and flinched, more than 10,000 Tianxiong Army was besieged in Julu by the Qing soldiers with superior forces under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng. Finally, the Qing soldiers flocked to attack. Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong Army fought to the death. The last soldier and one soldier wrote a heart-stirring elegy to the Ming Dynasty at the cost of death of all the members. After Lu Xiangsheng's death, he could not even find his body, so he was not rewarded for a long time, which made people sigh. The tomb of Lu Xiangsheng in later generations was just a tomb.)

Lu Xiangsheng retreated. Now it was the turn of the central figure of the entire court meeting, the inconspicuous Nanzhili Guardian Liu Yi. Lu Xiangsheng kowtowed and retreated. Liu Yi took two steps forward, then knelt down and listened to the imperial edict quietly. Wang Chengen looked at Liu Yi, and his face showed an admiration. As the butler beside the emperor, he had never seen any kind of people. However, Liu Yi was just an inequality general of the Ming Dynasty in terms of official terms. If it were someone else, he would have been so excited that he would have been unable to control himself. Even Sun Xing and Hou Gongji were excited with flushed expressions. Liu Yi was actually calm. He was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, extraordinary. He could train such a powerful new army and lead the cruising army to achieve great victory as the main general. It was indeed not a thing in the pool.

Wang Chengen said: "I have the Qianzong of Taiping Prefecture and the Anqingwei tutor Liu Yi, who is brave and brave in the three armies. Although he is young and weak, he can take the heads of the enemy generals among all the troops, and lead the Youzhi Army to win the battles and defeat the Jianlu. He is the future pillar of the Ming Dynasty. He is promoted to three levels in a row, and he is appointed as the commander of the Anqing Guard General of the Southern Zhili, and is also appointed as the General of Fengguo and the Guardian Army, and train a elite army for the Ming Dynasty. I will give another letter of iron blood to express my feelings."

With a bang, the hall was like boiling boiling water, and it exploded in a pan. What is the emperor doing? Can this thing be given at will? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for non-Kunming to give alchemy iron coupons. It is understandable that everyone has been promoted to three levels. Just based on Liu Yi's contribution, if you really have to calculate it seriously, I am afraid that you can be promoted to level four or five levels. The general of Fengguo and the guardians can also give it. After all, they are the generals, so it's fine. Moreover, this is the result of joint discussion between the cabinet, and no one has any objections. The iron coupons of the alchemy book are obviously beyond the scope. When did this be mentioned?

In fact, this is entirely the result of Emperor Chongzhen's decision. After the reward agreement that day, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the reward and felt that there was indeed less promotion to three levels. But the ministers were right. Now, Liu Yi cannot be allowed to reach the position of general. That is definitely unrealistic. It is indeed not good for young generals like Liu Yi, but Chongzhen did not want to say that the emperor was stingy and gold and silver were too vulgar. In addition to the official position, everyone would receive a large amount of gold and silver rewards, but so much money was just for a while.

The national treasury was really impossible to take out, so Chongzhen did not write it on the imperial edict to avoid making jokes. Chongzhen had already discussed with Bi Ziyan. This time, the deaths and injuries of the kings and horses in various places were indeed severe. If they were not compensated, it would definitely not work. The money could only be paid from this year's Liao salary. Chongzhen decided to withdraw 30% of the tens of millions of Liao salary this year, and a total of 3 million taels were distributed to various military towns. The new army in Nanzhili annihilated the most enemies and made the most contribution. Chongzhen arranged 500,000 taels of silver to supplement the new army with a big pen. It accounted for one-sixth of the total, but what Chongzhen didn't know was

According to Liu Yi's death and serious injury, one person was calculated by 50 to 100 taels of silver, the 500,000 taels of silver was just a solution to the cost of Qingyi's army's troops, pensions and various equipment losses, and there was a slight surplus. However, for other old-style troops, such as Xuanfu Town, it could also get 500,000 taels, which was an amazing number. This silver cannot be fulfilled at present, and can only be distributed at the end of the year. After thinking about it, Chongzhen felt that he would have to reward Liu Yi with something. The emperor once gave the Qingyi army flag and also rewarded Liu Yi with a musket. Chongzhen racked his brains.

It's too exaggerated to give Shang Fang's sword to Liu Yi, so it's too exaggerated, so if you can take advantage of it, even if you have some weight, it's a gold medal for the death penalty. Even if Liu Yi commits a death penalty, it can be offset. It should be the thing that commends Liu Yi's best achievements. Chongzhen did not discuss it with the ministers and made this decision privately. He also knew that if these old scholars knew that he would give Liu Yi a silhouette, he might have to do it again. The Tempera Stars flew around. He quietly ordered Wang Chengen to add this one to the imperial edict, which led to the scene today.

Chongzhen did this, which really shocked the ministers. The Censor of the Kedao was about to come forward and report the impeachment. Today, this day of great joy, most people did not want to be troubled by Chongzhen. The most important thing is that Han, Sun Chengzong, Qian Longxi and others think that it is nothing to award Liu Yi a elixir certificate, but it is just a gold medal for avoiding death. In fact, it is just a symbol of honor. Young generals like Liu Yi who are both wise and brave must be trained well. Chongzhen is also very skillful to give him a gold medal for avoiding death. With this move, he is afraid that Liu Yi will not be loyal to the emperor.

Is it true to your heart? So in essence, the big guys agreed. However, there were disharmonious voices. For example, a villain like Wang Yongguang would not be able to see a small general who could also obtain a elixir certificate. And there was no discussion with the cabinet at that time. It was Chongzhen's own personal decision. Wang Yongguang's Ministry of Personnel and Cao Yubian's Censorate were preparing to list impeachment. However, He Ruchong of the Ministry of Rites and Liu Tingyuan of the Ministry of Works, and others seemed to have nothing to do, as if they had not seen such a thing. Wang Yongguang secretly cursed these people in his heart, and he looked like he was hanging high.

Han and Qian Longxi saw Wang Yongguang and others trying to make moves, so they looked at each other. Han Dong immediately took the lead and said, "General Liu is a young hero. Beheading the enemy's general among thousands of troops is like taking objects. The emperor gave the elixir book iron voucher, which was even more like a wise king in ancient times. As the saying goes, a wise king and a good general, I will definitely come to the prosperous era of Yongle again!" This was very important, and it directly blocked the words of the censors behind him. If you dare to say the opposite, it means that the lord is a fool. Besides, Han Yu, as the head of all officials, has a large number of people under his jurisdiction. He stood up and set the tone first. Immediately half of the officials who were preparing to impeachment immediately retreated, and then Qian

Long Xi and Sun Chengzong made a stand while the iron was hot and stood up to support Han Yu. Even the iron-faced king of hell, like Qiao Yunsheng, the Minister of Justice, came out to support Han Yu. He Ruchong, Liu Tingyuan and Bi Ziyan remained neutral. It seemed that Cao Yubian and Wang Yongguang were extremely weak. Moreover, Wang Yongguang was best at changing his power when he saw so many ministers expressing their position to stand in the side. If he was accidentally killed, he could be doomed. He immediately changed his color and stepped forward and said, "I also support the Prime Minister." Cao Yubian had nothing to say now. A verbal and verbal attack that was almost about to break out in the court was wisely stopped by Han Yu.

Needless to say, Liu Yi kowtowed and thanked him, in fact, Liu Yi was just calm on the surface. How could he not be excited? Commander of the Anqing Guard, this is already a great power. What does this mean? In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's release of militia, in addition to retaining the 6,000 soldiers of the guard, he could completely transform the county into a prefecture like in Taiping Prefecture, stationing a militia in each prefecture, a military camp, a military camp, three militias, an intelligence army and a navy army. To put it bluntly, there may be 30,000 troops. This is equivalent to a commander of a reorganized army in later generations. The huge sense of accomplishment did not penetrate Liu Yi's mind. He still kowtowed the commander's order to thank him according to the procedures, which made everyone admire him again. Unexpectedly, Liu Yi's determination was so good.
