"Two my dear friends, please calm down!"

Emperor Zhu Youlang, who was already anxious, had no emperor's airs at all. He smiled and raised his hand to ask Guo Shao and Liang Shuanghu to get up. After the two of them got up, Zhu Youlang saw that they did not dare to look at him. He knew that they were restrained and did not care. He said with a smile: "I heard that Guangdong announced victory and had won a lot of achievements. You two can bring specific documents and let me show you, so that I can know how the soldiers fought bravely to win this great victory!"

"Yes, yes, I'll take it for the Emperor!"

Guo Shao quickly took out the letter of victory written by Zhou Shi's blind date from his arms, Qi Fu stepped forward and handed it to Wang Kun, and Wang Kun passed it to Zhu Youlang.

Liang Shuanghu kept Qi Fu's instructions in mind, lowered his head and did not dare to move.

Zhu Youlang looked at it while nodding and praised: "What a strange scholar. He set up an ambush in the same place twice and annihilated thousands of Qing troops. The great victory was really a big eye-opener." After closing the article, he was about to speak when he saw Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo and Minister of Rites Ding Jishan, entered the house under the leadership of the internal supervisor.

Mu Tianbo is a few years older than Emperor Yongli, but he is quite rich, perhaps because of his long-term pampering and worrying, and his appearance is younger than Emperor Yongli. Ding Jishan is an old man in his 1960s. His hair is not all white, but his beard is white, but his walking is still very energetic.

When the two of them saluted, Zhu Youlang asked them with a smile: "Two my dear friends, do you all know about Guangdong's victory?"

Mu Tianbo nodded and said, "I already know, and I have sent someone to test it. It is indeed a great victory. The 214 heads are all the Tartars in Manchu. The Ministry of War has already checked it clearly. I and Lord Ding came to offer victory for the imperial court."

Ding Jishan followed and said, "Your Majesty, it has now been confirmed that the great victory reported by the General Zhou of Guangzhou is the reality. The court should hold the ceremony of presenting the war. According to the ancestral system, 36 generals of the Han Dynasty should be held, with the Ministry of Rites as the main ceremonies, and the Ministry of Rites as the host. The Emperor not only had to go to the Taimiao to sacrifice in person, but also to the Wumen Gate to reveal the world." Speaking of this, he looked puzzled. He changed his mind and said, "However, the court is in trouble now and it is definitely impossible to handle it according to the ancestral system. Therefore, the emperor also needs to get a correct rule for how to handle it. I will also start to handle it."

Ding Jishan's words made Zhu Youlang frown. This time, the ceremony of offering a ceremonial ceremony in Guangdong must not be carried out according to the ancestral system. First of all, there is no Taimiao in Kunming, and there is no Meridian Gate. Even the palace has not yet been completed. How can there be such a venue to organize the ceremony of offering a ceremonial ceremony? Moreover, when the King of Jin was two famous kings, the court had not held the ceremony so grandly when the court announced the victory. Although the gains in Guangdong are great, it has only wiped out thousands of Qing troops and did not recover the lost territory. It does not affect the momentum of the King of Jin back then. If the King of Jin was really doing a great job, what would the King of Jin feel when he knew it? If the King of Jin had the intention of the court to ignore him, wouldn't this be a good thing and a bad thing?

The ceremony of offering ceremony must be handled, but it cannot be handled in large quantities. Mu Tianbo also wanted to use this great victory in Guangdong to boost morale, but Ding Jishan said he wanted to do it in large quantities, but he did not agree. He thought it was the same as Emperor Yongli. First, the court did not have so much money to handle it now, and second, the King of Jin was using troops. The excessive ceremony would inevitably stimulate the King of Jin and his generals.

"I think Guangdong has a rare victory, so the ceremony of offering a war is to be held, which can encourage morale among all the people. However, the King of Jin is currently leading the army and the court has invested a lot, so the ceremony can be simpler if it is simpler." Mu Tianbo expressed his opinion.

"Um..."

Zhu Youlang pondered slightly, thinking that Mu Tianbo was right. The ceremony of offering a war can boost the military and civilian spirit in Kunming City, and eliminated the depressed and panic caused by Sun Kewang's invasion of Yunnan. Therefore, it must be done, but it cannot be done in large quantities. It is best to do it in a simple manner. He said happily: "According to Mu Qing's wishes, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites to handle. At that time, the two beloved ministers will have to worry more."

"This is my duty, so why does the emperor say this?" Mu Tianbo said.

Ding Jishan opened his mouth and said nothing against him. He said that just now, but he could not know the current dilemma of the court. However, as the Minister of Rites, he had to treat this matter with the ancestral system. If he directly said that he would do it briefly, then those who did not know would think that the Minister of Rites was deliberately contemptuous of Guangdong and did not follow the system.

After deciding the ceremony for the presentation ceremony, Zhu Youlang turned his gaze to the two victories from Guangdong. He walked to Guo Shao, looked at him carefully, and asked him with a smile: "I wonder what kind of mission Guo Qing is doing in the Taiping Army now?"

Guo Shao replied carefully: "Reply to the emperor, I am the Xiangshan Salt Patrolman."

"Salt Commander?"

Zhu Youlang was stunned. What kind of official is this? He thought that since Guo Shao was sent by Zhou Shixiang to report his victory, he must have a great identity. He didn't expect that he was an official who had never heard of before.

Wang Kun didn't know what kind of official this salt envoy was. The one who managed the salt envoy in the Ming Dynasty had the salt envoy. Although he was a sixth-rank official, he was in charge of Lianghuai and Changlu Salt Field. He had great power and was also the most powerful position in the Thirteen Censors of the Censorate. However, this salt envoy had never heard of it.

Mu Tianbo thought for a while and asked Guo Shao: "Are you a salt patrolman Shang Kexi's private official set up in Guangdong?"

Guo Shao blushed and did not dare to hide his identity as a surrender. He said honestly: "I must not hide it from the emperor. I was indeed an official of the Qing Dynasty. This salt envoy was also a private official set up by the pseudo-vassal Shang Kexi for the sake of salt profit. However, since I surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, I have regarded myself as a wise minister and I dare not have any other intentions. This heart can be seen by heaven and earth!"

"oh!"

Zhu Youlang didn't care and waved his hand and smiled, "Hey, it doesn't matter where Guo Qing used to be. What's important is that you are my Ming official now. You are like a prodigal son who turns back and don't change gold."

Mu Tianbo also laughed. Since Jiashen, there have been countless officials from the Ming Dynasty who have been voted in the Qing Dynasty. There are countless officials from the Qing Dynasty who have been voted in the Ming Dynasty, far away, such as Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng and others in the past, as well as the thieves of King Jin Li Dingguo, King Shu Liu Wenxiu. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty was a trivial matter and worth mentioning.

Although Ding Jishan is a scheming old man, he knows that there are too many such things these days, so he is not surprised.

Wang Kun interrupted, "Since this salt envoy is an official position established by a pseudo-vassal, he cannot be mentioned again in the future."

"Indeed, the official system in Guangdong must be rationalized." Mu Tianbo agreed with Wang Kun's meaning. How could the official positions in the Ming Dynasty be used as the pseudo-vassal system?

Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "I will be rewarded for this great victory in Guangdong. In the previous period, Zhou Shixiang had the merit of seizing Xinhui. I have issued an order to grant him the position of general of Guangzhou, and now I have made great contributions. I still want to promote him to the post of other officials. Everyone with meritorious soldiers below Zhou Shixiang has also received rewards. Only in this way can the soldiers be encouraged to fight bravely and serve the court."

Guo Shao was overjoyed. After he joined the Taiping Army, Zhou Shixiang did not promote him to be an official, but he was still guarding the salt patrol envoy. Now that Emperor Yongli opened his golden mouth, he might be able to get a prefect, after all, he was the official envoy who came to report his victory.

Seeing Liang Shuanghu still standing there with his head down, Zhu Youlang realized that he had been slow to treat him, so he also asked him with a smile: "Where did Liang Qing work in the past?"

Liang Shuanghu was still immersed in the excitement of seeing the emperor. He didn't hear Emperor Yongli's question. Guo Shao hurriedly pulled him down, and then came to his senses and looked at Emperor Yongli with a confused look on his face: "Ah? What?"

Zhu Youlang and Mu Tianbo couldn't help laughing because of this. Ding Jishan raised his beard and shook his head in dissatisfaction. He thought that the martial artist was the martial artist, how could Junqian be so distracted!

Guo Shao was ashamed and whispered the emperor's question to Liang Shuanghu. After hearing this, Liang Shuanghu subconsciously said: "Reply to the emperor, I used to be a soldier in the green camp."

Green camp soldiers?

Zhu Youlang and Mu Tianbo were both stunned: The envoy was a private official set up by the pseudo-vassal state. The deputy envoy was a green camp soldier of the Qing army. Could it be that Zhou Shixiang's subordinates could not send some decent talents here?

"Well, it used to be the past, now it is now, it's good to abandon darkness and turn to light, okay, very good."

Zhu Youlang didn't mind Guo Shao's former pseudo-official status just now, so naturally he couldn't talk about Liang Shuanghu's identity as the green camp, so he smiled a little embarrassedly.

Unexpectedly, Liang Shuanghu heard what Emperor Yongli said, "Many of our generals were from the Qing army in the past, and some of them were bandits who were robbed. However, since we followed our generals, our brothers have been soldiers of our Ming Dynasty. They all know that they must work hard for the emperor in the future and win a wife and son."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianbo frowned and said in confusion: "Are you all the Taiping Army like this?"

Mu Tianbo didn't care that Liang Shuanghu called Zhou Shixiang a general, because many people have called him generals these days. Moreover, Zhou Shixiang is already the general of Guangzhou. Although he has not had the general seal, since he calls himself a general, the court can't issue an order to rebuke him. The land in Guangdong is far away from Kunming, and the court can't control it even if he wants to!

Liang Shuanghu shook his head and said carelessly: "Our brothers in Taiping Army are all this kind of people. The brothers drink in a big bowl and eat meat. They tie their heads to their belts to kill the Tartars, and they are happy!"

After hearing this, Guo Shao curled his lips secretly. Liang Shuanghu, Qiu Ba, could really say anything, and he didn't see where this was. He, damn, it was unreasonable to treat surrendered soldiers and bandits as capital for showing off in front of the emperor.

Mu Tianbo was stunned, not knowing what to say, but for a long time, the Taiping Army was actually a team of surrendered soldiers and bandits. With such a team, he could defeat the Qing army and win such a big victory. Zhou Shixiang was really amazing.

Qi Xiucai is really a talent!

Zhu Youlang was also a little moved. He didn't think much and said with a smile: "It's okay, they are all righteous men who care about my Ming Dynasty. No matter what your origins were from before, I will treat you equally and will never be biased."

Liang Shuanghu looked excited: "Your Majesty, I really want to work hard for you and drive away the Manzhou Tartars. I also specially learned from Yue Wumu and stabbed the word behind him!"

"oh?"

Zhu Youlang was excited. Could it be that God really wanted to bless the Ming Dynasty's revival? Otherwise, why would the martial artist know to learn from Yue Wumu? He was a little excited and asked, "But he be loyal to the country?"

Liang Shuanghu shook his head and said, "I don't know what the man carved me, why don't the emperor help me take a look?"

"presumptuous!"

When Ding Jishan heard Liang Shuanghu asking the emperor to see the words on his back, he couldn't help but scold him. It was too unconventional, so he could not be naked in front of the emperor.

Zhu Youlang smiled and told Ding Jishan not to make a big fuss. He said to Liang Shuanghu: "Okay, take off your shirt, and I will take a look at what words are engraved on your back."

"Oh, OK! I'll take off my clothes now!"

Liang Shuanghu didn't seem to see Guo Shao calling him repeatedly to stop him from looking at him. He unbuttoned his clothes and turned around and pulled his shirt down.

"Your Majesty, is it carved on my back to serve the country?" Liang Shuanghu turned his back proudly to everyone.

There was no sound behind it.

Zhu Youlang couldn't speak.

Mu Tianbo had nothing to say.

Ding Jishan and Wang Kun were dazed.

After a while, Qi Fu burst out with a "puchi". He couldn't help laughing, because the words were indeed engraved on the back of Liang Shuanghu, but they were not engraved with loyalty to the country, but five big black characters - "Shunzhi is a dog".

"I learned from Yue Wumu's loyalty to serve the country. I engraved these big words on my back, which reminded me at all times that I must pacify the Tartars in Manzhou for the emperor and protect the emperor to revive my Ming Dynasty. Even if I die in the battlefield, I will be willing to wrap my body around the horse and the horse and the horse will be covered with corpses!"

Guo Shao took a deep breath and looked at Liang Shuanghu, who was proud, with a very strange look. He only had a thought in his mind: Was this Qiu Ba real or fake honest before?

"Okay, okay, what a loyal service to the country! What a loyal service to the country!"
