Chapter 565: Meritorious Title

"He'll definitely go!"

The same words sounded in the Qianqing Palace. Li Dongyang lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, and said respectfully to the emperor.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said noncommittally: "How can you see it? That kid can be described as bold, but he is not a brainless person. ”

Li Dongyang smiled and nodded: "As Your Majesty said, although Su Neyan is young, he is calculating, and even the old ministers never dare to underestimate him. But it was precisely because of this that the old minister expected that he would go. ”

As soon as these words came out, the face of the British Duke standing in the main hall changed slightly, and Huo Ran glanced up at Li Dongyang. Everyone else was thoughtful, too.

Li Dongyang, known as Li Mou, has always been known for his wisdom. How high is it to make this cabinet minister, who is known for his wisdom, claim that he does not dare to underestimate him?

But here's the problem. If a person in his forties or fifties gets Li Dongyang's evaluation, of course, it is a very high praise. But Su Mo is only sixteen years old. If it's a child who can't even be considered an adult, let the first assistant be jealous of it, which can hardly be said to be a kind of praise, but a kind of killing.

It's just that this kind of method is impeccable, and no one can say anything. The Duke of England and the Duke of Dingguo glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes. But at the same time, there was also a wave of anger.

How could you, a dignified scholar and cabinet minister of the current dynasty, do such a thing to a child? Li Binzhi, this is really too much!

Emperor Hongzhi squinted and didn't speak, as if he didn't notice it, just quietly waited for the following.

Li Dongyang's eyes swept slightly, taking in everyone's expressions, and he secretly sneered in his heart. The eyes of the head bowed flashed with a look of great sadness.

How could he not know that this attack was too bad? But for the sake of his poor child, he finally had to have an explanation.

Now it's just a foreshadowing, and you can't accept it? Hmph, this is the beginning, let's do it and see.

"The previous grassland chaos not only involved the entire desert south and north desert, but even the Rakshasa country was involved. Such a chaotic situation is extremely unfavorable to all parties, but it is the most beneficial to my Daming. As the initiator of the entire chaos, Deputy Envoy Su really made him and others eager to kill him quickly.

In such a situation, it is difficult to protect oneself by virtue of the identity of one of our courtiers. And finding an opportunity to take the hostage, although it is a little scoundrel, is a wonderful move.

Therefore, the old minister thought that if he hadn't taken the Mongolian prince's affairs, maybe the deputy envoy Su might not dare to go to the royal court. But now that we have the ropes, there is no better opportunity than at this time.

With the ability of the deputy envoy of the Soviet Union, the minister should first congratulate His Majesty here, and this time the envoy to Mongolia will be able to succeed immediately. ”

He spoke eloquently, and his words were full of praise for Su Mo. If you don't know the inside story, you must think that the old and young have made friends for the New Year.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, but an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. He asked again: "Then the previous secretary and others, will there be any changes in the matter of marrying the Mongolian princess?"

Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "No need, everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, it will be wasted, walking on two legs is always more stable than one leg." Although Deputy Envoy Su can do his best, it is no better. And the marriage strategy will not affect the performance of Deputy Envoy Su, and may be a powerful supplement to it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and stopped talking, but his eyes were aimed at the British Duke and others next to him.

Today's small court meeting was originally the news that the British came to see the emperor after hearing that Su Mo had reappeared, broke the Mongol army, and captured a large number of Mongol prisoners, including the second prince Urusborot and the chief general of the three armies, Mukhan Timur.

Su Mo's strange disappearance made the old man anxious and worried, especially the departure of his brother-in-law Su Hong, which made him even more ashamed and deeply disgraced. The righteous brother came all the way, and with the friendship of the two ancestors, he only asked for his own request to take care of Su Mo, but with his dignity as a prince, in the end, it evolved into such a result, and the British prince was almost a crack in the ground.

As soon as he heard Su Mo's news this time, and it was such a hot news, he immediately reacted, this matter is not good, I am afraid that Xiao Su Mo will be in big trouble. Nothing else, as long as someone uses this to raise the charge of provocation, then everything is difficult to say.

Therefore, the old man simply took the first step, directly came over to his nephew to stand on the platform, and blocked everyone's mouths in advance.

As a result, after the emperor listened to his words, he even summoned several courtiers to discuss the matter. But what the British public didn't expect was that Li Dongyang didn't give anyone a chance at all, and directly defined the matter first. But although it calmed the hidden danger of the British public's worries, it buried a more subtle killing. It remains to be seen how this will play out.

He was suffering from gains and losses here, when he suddenly felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and he turned his head to look, but he saw that Dingguo was just looking at him.

After being slightly stunned, he suddenly came to his senses. peeked over, and sure enough, I saw Emperor Hongzhi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the meaning in his eyes was incomprehensible and profound.

The British public's heart sank slightly, but then he rolled his eyes, clasped his fists and arched his hands: "Your Majesty, what did Scholar Li say, the old minister didn't understand. The old minister only knew that in this war, the old minister's nephew was bloody and hard, lying on the ice and hugging the snow, first capturing the enemy chieftain in the first battle, and then breaking 10,000 horsemen.

This is not only a soldier's life and service to the king's kindness, but why is it not caused by His Majesty's discernment and picking up good talents?

The minister thinks, not to mention anything else, just for this merit, it should be congratulated for His Majesty, for the community, and for all the people. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads and secretly scolded this old thing for being shameless. Anyway, you are also a prince of the country, is it really good to shoot the emperor's ass so unabashedly? What about the lower limit? What about the arrogance of your martial artists?

Your uncle, you old thing not only shameless yourself, but even brazenly tried to give your nephew a hat of great feats, which is really an inch, a nose and a face.

Emperor Hongzhi was also slightly flustered, but then he chuckled, glanced at Li Dongyang, and said with an interesting smile: "Then according to the old man's opinion, should I reward something? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone dared to be indifferent, bowed down one after another, and said in unison: "The ministers don't dare, the ministers are guilty." ”

Emperor Hongzhi laughed, waved his sleeves to make everyone get up, turned his eyes on everyone, and looked at the British justice: "Let's talk about it first, since you ask for credit for Su Mo, how should you reward it?"

The British Duke clenched his fists, then got up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is bad, rewards and punishments, there are all laws, how can the minister put his beak." Since there is a Ministry of War, the liquidation department is implemented according to the law. ”

In the main hall, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately shuddered, so he couldn't open his mouth and scold. Why do you want to drag the old man into the water? This depressed day is really nothing to sit at home, and disaster comes from the sky.

The old man muttered in his heart, but Emperor Hongzhi above sighed, turned his gaze, and said warmly: "Ma Aiqing, in this case, please talk about it." ”

Ma Wensheng is so sick, but the emperor can't help but answer his questions. He groaned slightly, and didn't bother to measure more, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "My military merits, those who cut ten levels in battle can be promoted to one level; If this is the case, this time Su Deputy made a merit, and he should be a marquis of more than 1,000 households. However, the exact number shall be determined by His Majesty. ”

The old man glanced at him, finished speaking as if he were an endorsement, and then bowed back and retreated. Whoever you love, since you have to talk to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will tell you according to the law. As for whether to implement it, or how to implement it, please, it shouldn't be the old man's responsibility, Your Majesty, you can play by yourself.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little dumbfounded, and glared at the old guy with a smile, but he could only nod stupidly.

This Ma Wensheng is a jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, starting from the imperial history, and accumulating merit all the way to the current military department. So far, he is already a veteran of the four dynasties, highly respected, and the most old, spicy, and hard.

With such an old qualification, if he is determined not to give face, Emperor Rao is Hongzhi will not be able to take him. It's just a marquis...... Emperor Hongzhi smashed his mouth, and couldn't help but feel bitter.

That Su Mo was originally on a whim at that time, and he wanted to take care of the emotions of the British duke, so he was super promoted, and he was promoted as the envoy of the Qin mission in the way of a minister. Therefore, I don't know how many people have criticized the emperor in the middle of the court, and some people even made it clear that their emperor was going to start to be deaf, and they were worried that they would do the things of the previous emperor and the emperor.

If there is another marquis this time, Emperor Hongzhi thinks about it with his toes, and he knows what kind of scene it will be.

He named Ma Wensheng's original intention, hoping that he could understand what he meant, and casually transfer the issue to the cabinet or simply refute it back to the British public. But who would have thought that this old thing would kick the ball back directly, so that his son of heaven could sit on wax.

"Ma Laoshangshu is really a fair person, and he is really a model for my dynasty. Before he could come up with the words to deal with it, the British public Zhang Mao jumped out again, and praised loudly with a thumbs up on his face full of excitement.

Emperor Hongzhi's head suddenly darkened, and he was so out of breath that he had a good idea. This old killer, why are you everywhere? Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere? What does this Nima mean when he can't wait to jump out?

Did Ma Wensheng say anything? That's just a book of military laws, you uncle's excitement!

Emperor Hongzhi was annoyed, but he couldn't take this old hob meat. Now I can't find an excuse. Didn't you listen to what the old killer said, Ma Wensheng's dictated military law is fair, if he doesn't reward according to the law, wouldn't it mean that he, the emperor, is unjust?

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him hatefully, and wanted to strangle him. The British Duke looked innocent, as if he didn't realize anything wrong. This suffocated the emperor.

"Ahem. At this time, Liu Jian, who had not made a sound from beginning to end, suddenly coughed lightly twice, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly looked at the past expectantly.

Liu Jian was also helpless. Although he is Gengjie by nature, it does not mean that he is a fool. The fight between his old friend Li Dongyang and the British duke, he naturally understands it very well. It is precisely because of this that he has always restrained himself and is unwilling to get involved. When it comes to home, the two are just fighting for a child, and they can't affect the overall situation of the country after all. Otherwise, no matter which side it is, don't let him go easily.

But at this moment, seeing that the emperor was squeezed into a corner, it made Lao Liu Jian unbearable.
