Chapter 1905 I can rest assured that you will do things
Soon, the tea time passed, and the officials still could not come to an agreement on Zhu Ping'an's reward.
"Everyone, if you have any good ideas, don't hide them away. Come up with them quickly. If we can't agree on Zhu Ping'an's reward, we won't be able to explain it to the Holy One. If the Holy One asks again, he will definitely blame him.
Come down."
Mr. Wang, the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, was a little anxious.
"If the reward is too small if the reward is too small if you just remove the word 'Dai', wouldn't it be enough to add some other rewards?"
An official came up with an idea.
Wang Shilang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately found his direction, "Oh, it makes sense, it makes sense, but what should we add?"
The official who just spoke suggested, "How about a knighthood? Zhu Ping'an cannot simply regard him as a civilian. What he achieved is military merit, which can be regarded as a military attache. According to the military attache's system of 'big merit' and 'little merit'
, is it feasible to reward him with a title based on his contribution to the sea sacrifice?"
"Great merit" and "little merit" are two types of nobility systems popular in the Ming Dynasty.
A knighthood for "great meritorious service" is awarded to a knighthood for making a major contribution to supporting the country during the war. For "minor meritorious service", a general at the first level of the governor is awarded the title of earl due to his long-term defense of the place and other merits. If he makes further achievements
If you have merit, you can continue to be promoted. The two knighthood modes correspond to wartime and peacetime respectively, and complement each other.
"Zhu Ping'an's military exploits in the sacrifice to the sea were only to capture the heads of 290 Japanese pirates and rescued thousands of people. They did not meet the conditions for the title of 'great contribution' to Kuangfu Sheji!
As for the "small meritorious service", it is a bit reluctant. He is not a governor-level general, and it is a meritorious service, rather than cumulative merit. If he can be awarded the title of earl by capturing more than 200 Japanese pirates at one time, there are so many Japanese pirates in Jiangnan, and he will be defeated in one battle in the future.
Not only are there many generals who have captured the heads of more than two hundred Japanese pirates, but they also appear in endlessly. If all of them were granted the title of earl, wouldn’t the title be a waste?!"
Some officials thought for a moment, stood up and raised objections, disagreeing with the title of Zhu Ping'an.
As soon as he finished speaking, an official echoed: "Indeed, during the Zhengde period of the previous dynasty, a large number of foreign relatives, children of internal officials, and naughty military officers were awarded the title of military officer. At that time, the reasonable title system was destroyed. It was not until the Holy Emperor ascended the throne.
, to bring order to the chaos, we issued an edict to eliminate all kinds of officials, marquises, and earls who had been promoted or pretended to be ennobled during the Zhengde period. Your Majesty was very cautious about ennobling titles. Mr. Zhou Shangwen, who passed away in the twenty-seventh year of this dynasty, all of you are
You know, Mr. Zhou served as the commander-in-chief of Datong for a long time, guarding Datong, and repelled the invasion of Anda from the North several times. His military exploits were outstanding. Although he was promoted to the highest rank of military attache, Zuo Dudu, he was also awarded the three official positions of Taibao and Prince Taifu.
, it can be said that he is the first military attache in our dynasty to hold the position of three ministers, but he has not been knighted."
Another official took over and said, "Yes, I still remember that after Mr. Zhou died, the Li Ke submitted a memorial to Shen Shu asking for a posthumous title to Zhou Shangwen. The Holy Emperor was furious and said: Zhou Shangwen requested the title many times.
, he had a lot of resentment, so he was tolerant and did not punish him. After that, the Holy One handed Shen Shu over to the Jinyi Guards for questioning, which shows that the Holy One is cautious about the title."
After listening to the words of the three officials, Wang Shilang touched his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded. It is true that the Holy Lord is very cautious about the title. It can be said that he is stingy. It is better not to get into trouble with the Holy Lord, so as not to get angry.
But how to deal with Zhu Pingan's reward? Should we continue to promote him? That's not possible. Zhu Pingan offended Mr. Yan Ge and was ordered to be banned by Mr. Yan Xiaoge. If he is promoted again, it will not be to offend Mr. Yan Xiaoge.
Ni Lin? He couldn't bear the temper of Mr. Yan Xiaoge.
Just when Wang Shilang and others were in trouble, an official suddenly had an idea and got up impatiently.
"You can't be given a title, but you can be given a favor or a gift. My court is also very strict about granting gifts. It can only be granted for meritorious service, or for being excellent in evaluations for several consecutive years, or for meritorious service in governing a place, or for meritorious service in leading troops in battle.
Only then did he have the opportunity to benevolent and benevolent. Zhu Ping'an protected and sacrificed the sea for his meritorious service and captured more than 290 heads of Japanese pirates. This just met the conditions. We can consider granting a benevolence to his parents and granting a benevolence to his children. I heard that Zhu
Ping An is married, and his wife is about to give birth. To be kind to his unborn child can not only commend him for his merits, but also show the court's concern for his family. It achieves multiple things with one stone, so why not do it."
The official stood up and said to everyone.
"Oh, why did you forget this? Yes, yes, Master Liu said that you can give it as a gift, Yin Yin!"
Wang Shilang couldn't help but excitedly slapped his thigh hard, made an ouch, and said excitedly again and again.
For substantive official positions, just remove the word "dai" from him and no longer promote him, and then add them with gifts and empty posts of enyin.
This is also a disguised suppression of Zhu Pingan.
In this way, Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Yan Xiaoge can explain it to each other. Mr. Yan Ge will definitely remember me and my official career will be smooth again.
The more Wang Shilang thought about it, the happier he became.
"Yes, yes, you can give gifts and favors. Now Zhu Ping'an's reward problem is solved."
The other officials also nodded.
"Okay, now let's discuss how to bestow gifts and favors."
"Zhu Ping'an's mother has been given an imperial order before. Let's give her a royal decree this time. Zhu Pingan's wife can also be given a royal decree."
"In addition, last time Zhu Ping'an received a favor for his merits, he gave his son a favor for a hundred households. This time he favored another son and received a salary. The rank of the favored son can be upgraded one level compared to the old system, so that he can go from seven to seven.
Good use."
"You can give me some more gold and silver silk and satin to show your merit."
After having a direction, Wang Shilang and a group of officials quickly agreed on Zhu Ping'an's reward and formed a written agreement.
"My lords, I will go and ask Mr. Yan Ge for instructions first. If there is no problem with Mr. Yan Ge, I will leave it to the prince."
Wang Shilang picked up the final written material, stood up and spoke to everyone.
"Sir Wang, please." Naturally, everyone had no objection.
Soon, Shilang Wang took the written materials to ask Yan Song for instructions. Yan Song took one look and put them aside.
"Okay, I can rest assured that you will do the work. I have only one request: reward for meritorious service, and do not let any meritorious officials be deprived. These are troubled times now, with Japanese captives from the north and the south emerging in endlessly. It is the time when you employ people, you must be generous.
Reward ministers who have made meritorious deeds and serve as positive role models to inspire the morale of the military and the people to serve the country enthusiastically."
Yan Song emphasized to Wang Shilang.
"Yes, the elder's teachings will be kept in mind by all the subordinates, and they will definitely not fail any meritorious person."
Wang Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and bowed repeatedly.
"The reward for the Great Victory of Jihai has been delayed for so long.
