But when Zhang Linqi and Chongzhen walked side by side, what Chongzhen said next made Zhang Linqi dumbfounded. Chongzhen seemed to be looking ahead seriously, but he said in a voice that only Zhang Linqi could hear: "Guoyong, what are you doing at hand?"

So, do you still have some silver?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Linqi didn't react for a moment, wondering why he asked about money at such a grand welcome ceremony?

Chongzhen seemed to have a telepathic connection with him. He didn't even look back, but he knew what Zhang Linqi was thinking. He continued to stand up straight and move forward mightily, and said in a very low voice that only Zhang Linqi could hear: "

Guoyong, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are! Now that the town has won a great victory, you have to reward it! But even now

It's because of your Shuangshenlou subsidy, that is, it can barely maintain a profit and loss. [] There is no money left for reward. I know that you have obtained Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, and all the people's wealth and wealth that that old guy Zuo Liangyu has collected over the years have also fallen into your hands.

Here! And what is the relationship between the two of us? So, the matter of Reward Town will still fall on you!"

So that's it. Zhang Linqi was very angry and funny after hearing this. After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that he had no money, and the emotional rich man's family had no food left! However, although Zhang Linqi was leading the army, he still had a general understanding of the imperial court's financial situation.

In other words, just like Chongzhen said, we can barely maintain it. If there is any big expense suddenly, it won't work! We have to raise money! It is precisely because of this that when Zhang Linqi left Jinzhou City, he would simply replace it.

The imperial court issued a silver reward, but he knew that it would not be issued at that time, and he would still have to pay for it later! Who told him to attack the local tycoons now, divide the fields, and make his pockets rich!

Then I thought again, okay, let's give it. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and all the money used is the sin money of Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu and the like. And with his status, he can already do half of Chongzhen's job.

A family!

"Then how much do you want, Your Majesty? Is five hundred thousand taels enough? If it's not enough for a humble minister, there's nothing you can do about it. You know..."

Zhang Linqi wanted to continue nagging, but Chongzhen already said with a smile: "Enough, enough, five hundred thousand taels of silver is enough."

In fact, Chongzhen knew in his heart that Zhang Linqi now had a rich family, and the five hundred thousand taels of silver was definitely nothing. However, Chongzhen also had a plan, and he said that we are not in a hurry, anyway, your money is my money. Now I will take your five hundred thousand taels of silver.

, I will give you a lot of money when I marry my precious daughter to you in the future! Moreover, the situation of the wheat in the two million acres of the imperial farm is very good, and it will be harvested in a few days.

Another huge sum of money.

With this money, there is no need to tie down your hands and feet all day long... And Zhang Linqi felt Chongzhen's joy, looking at his not broad back, his heart was filled with joy. Hey, this man in history was so poor that he even had to sell off his furniture.

The emperor, the emperor who wants to pawn his pants, finally doesn’t have to worry about this anymore...

And this scene was really seen by Princess Changping who was hiding in the noble lady. This is the young general who is deeply respected by thousands of people...

When we first set out from the town, we walked through Deshengmen, which meant victory. But this time when Chongzhen came to greet him, he walked through Andingmen, which meant peace and stability. In addition, Andingmen is also called "Shengmen", which means "abundance".

"It means that Chongzhen went out of the palace once a year to the Temple of Earth to pray for a good harvest, and he also used this door.

"Sister, have you seen that your Majesty attaches great importance to your husband? They are both walking side by side!" However, Zhang Qingci, who was hiding in the carriage, caught the whole scene at a glance and couldn't help but said in excitement.

"Really? It's indeed very glorious." Fang Jianping frowned and said, "But since ancient times, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. It is also said that the first time is easy to break, and extreme joy leads to sorrow... Linqi must be on guard..."

There is another person who has the same idea as Fang Jianping, she is Tang Yanyan. At this welcome ceremony, Tang Yanyan also dressed up as Zhang Linqi's personal guard and mingled in it, so she also saw clearly the scene where Chongzhen strongly admired Zhang Linqi...

With Tang Yanyan's suspicious character, it felt a little inappropriate. As a minister, how could you show off your sharpness? You must know that the first bird will be shot... But after she thought of the incompatible relationship between her father Tang Ren and Zhang Linqi,

, but a vague idea arises, which can just solve the conflict between the two, and even turn the hostility into friendship, and reconcile Weng and his son-in-law...

After talking all the way, after returning to the Jinluan Palace, Chongzhen was naturally sitting on the throne, and Zhang Linqi had already led a group of generals to kneel in the Jinluan Palace, waiting to hear the conferment. At this time, hundreds of other military ministers in the Jinluan Palace,

They were all beaming with joy. After all, the Ningyuan victory was definitely a major victory for the Tatars. With such a great victory, they would surely be able to live in peace for a while!

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict, and now there is a general who is leading the town. He first defeated the rebel Zhang Xianzhong's tribe, then beheaded the rebel general Zuo Liangyu's tribe, and then defeated the old slave Zhenghongqi's tribe. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements.

, now all the generals will listen to the seal.”

"Zhang Linqi, the general who governs the country, is named a mighty Marquis of Military Affairs! The crown prince's Taibao. His wife is a first-grade imperial concubine. He is rewarded with a silver reward of 10,000 taels!" After hearing such a reward, even those military ministers who were mentally prepared were still envious. They were rewarded with a silver reward of 10,000 taels.

Ten thousand liang, it’s fine if the principal wife is a first-grade imperial concubine. There are also several people in the imperial court who have received this honor, including the crown prince and Taibao.

That’s amazing. He is the prince’s teacher. When the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people! And the mighty prince is even more powerful. Since Taizu divided the kings, how many people in the Ming Dynasty have

In the past hundred years, there have not been several marquises with different surnames. I didn't expect that now there is another one. And if I take another step, it will be a prince!

"Thank you Lord for your kindness," Zhang Linqi said loudly. Zhang Linqi did not expect such a reward. He originally thought that General Zhenguo would be promoted to another level, but in that case, he felt that this resounding title would be gone. It was a pity. Unexpectedly

But he was directly awarded the title of Marquis of Might. Although it still does not exceed the reward of a first-class official like the Director of the West Factory, but it is a rare honor for a casual official! As for the 10,000 taels of silver reward,

It was originally his...

As for Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, Zhang Linqi, who was a little surprised at this moment, was also secretly proud, thinking that I didn't expect that I would designate you as a mighty warrior. Hehe, let's slowly build momentum for you now, and wait until later.

If we go one step further, then the right person can marry my precious daughter...

"Li Sicheng was awarded the title of General of Hussars and was rewarded with five thousand taels of silver."

"Fang Wei, was named General Ningyuan and was rewarded with five thousand taels of silver."

"Zhou Mo Mo, was named General Huanyuan and was rewarded with five thousand taels of silver."

"..."

After the rewards were awarded, Li Sicheng and others were all smiles, and they were promoted again!

"This severe blow to the arrogance of the Tatars is an unprecedented achievement of ours, and I am very happy. I will offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple tomorrow, and will go to Mount Tai soon to offer a memorial ceremony to heaven. The Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites have agreed on the relevant rituals and procedures.

The accompanying military officers, domestic and foreign ministers, and envoys from various countries will all accompany him!"

But it was Chongzhen who said with an excited expression.

"I sincerely obey my emperor's order" but all the ministers of His Highness kowtowed together!

Next came the main event, Azig was going to be interrogated! Soon, Azig was tied up to the ground. Azig was tall and tall. Even though he was tied up with ropes like a rice dumpling, he looked very tall standing in the Jinluan Hall.

outstanding. After all, race

There it is! The military officials in the Jinluan Palace were all whispering to each other as they looked at this unruly Tatar. After all, this was the son of the old slave! One of the four great Belles of the Tatars was actually captured alive.

Yes, it’s a great joy!

There were even a few veterans with gray beards who congratulated Chongzhen, saying that the Ming Dynasty had begun...

Chongzhen was elated when he said these words. Next, Chongzhen began to interrogate Azig. When he presented the prisoners at Andingmen, Chongzhen didn't even look at Azig. This shows the magnanimity of a heavenly king. I don't care about you at all.

He was dismissive, but now that he has entered the Jinluan Palace, he is going to be interrogated. You must know that this prominent prisoner is a prisoner equivalent to the level of Prince of Ming Dynasty!

"Ajige, let me ask you, the Ming Dynasty has always treated you very well, why is it so ambitious that you can repay kindness with hatred?"

Chongzhen said with a stern expression. Azig could not understand Chinese, so naturally someone translated these words into Manchurian and said them to Azig.

Azig also knew that the speaker was the supreme ruler of the empire, the emperor of a country. However, he did not show any awe. But after he listened to the Manchurian translation, he burst out laughing.

"No wonder your troops are all trash. It turns out that you, the emperor, are like this. What does it mean to repay kindness with hatred! Why should we eat the wind and sand outside the pass, while you Han people can hide inside the pass and enjoy the fertile land! As a brave and good warrior

Eight Banners warriors, descendants of Genghis Khan, we should have more fertile land and more cattle and sheep! And you humble and incompetent Han people should surrender to the Eight Banners warriors! Give up your land and women!"

Hearing Azig's arrogant words, the junior official in charge of translation was startled and did not dare to translate directly. Later, under Chongzhen's urging, he reluctantly explained what he meant. I have to say that Azig was really honest.

It's arrogant. This junior official from the Ministry of Education has just finished translating. Everyone in the palace is angry. There is no party struggle or faction at this time. There is just unanimous anger against the foreign barbarians! The Tatars are really abominable.

Got it!
Chapter completed!
