After returning to Beijing, Emperor Yongzhen praised him.
Give him a thousand taels of gold and make him the king of Wuxiang.
But to everyone's surprise, it was originally rumored that the third prince would become the head of the Hyogo Division, but Emperor Yongzhen did not even mention half a sentence.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Guo Chongzhen, a cabinet scholar, Feng Qizhou, the prime minister, Li Fengqi, the prime minister, Wu Rong, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Zhang Jili, the secretary of the criminal department, gathered in the imperial study.
Emperor Yongzhen sat on the dragon chair, listening to Xiao Minyuan talk about Lin'an, and looked at the fold he presented.
Qiu Pengcheng confessed to his embezzlement, and the bursting of the embankment of the Canghe River was also caused by his collusion with some corrupt people in the DPRK and China to embezzle money for the construction of the embankment. ”
"Erchen rushed back to Beijing day and night because of the edict, and it was inconvenient to escort Qiu Pengcheng, so he handed him over to Cai Yan for care. After completely subduing Tian Feng and arresting the traitor Cao Ji, the two were escorted back to Beijing and handed over to their father and emperor. ”
When Emperor Yongzhen heard this, he closed his fold and said in a deep voice: "Wu Rong, Zhang Jili." ”
"Wechen is here. ”
"Later, the two of you will assist the three princes to try the Canghe corruption case. Anyone involved in this matter is not allowed to let go!"
"Wechen obeyed. ”
Emperor Yongzhen threw the fold on the case, looked up at Xiao Minyuan and asked, "What is the situation in Tian Feng now?"
"Back to his father, Cao He originally wanted to use Lu'an, Qiuzhou, and Tianfeng to encircle Lin'an. Now that there is no Lu'an and Qiuzhou as barriers, Tianfeng is a Jedi lonely city, and it will be able to break through in three days at the latest. ”
"Good!"
Emperor Yongzhen clasped his palms together when he heard this, and he looked at Xiao Minyuan, who was standing solemnly not far away, with a respectful and humble expression, and there was a rare warm look in his eyes.
"You have done a good job this time, you are brave and strategic, you can find a safe strategy in the chaos, calm the people's hearts, and solve the chaos, I am very relieved. ”
"Erchen didn't dare to take credit, if it weren't for the wisdom of his father and the emperor, and sent Lord Cai to help, I'm afraid that Erchen would have died in Lin'an. ”
While speaking, Xiao Minyuan knelt directly on the ground, and said to Emperor Yongzhen with gratitude and obedience: "Son, thank you for saving your father's life." ”
Emperor Yongzhen originally didn't like Xiao Minyuan, just because this son has always had a gloomy temperament and doesn't like to laugh, this time Xiao Minyuan made meritorious contributions in Lin'an, which can be said to be unexpected, and he already had a different opinion of Xiao Minyuan.
Before Lin'an rebelled, he also knew that Xiao Minyuan was almost killed, and at this time, seeing that he did not have any resentment, but was full of gratitude, Emperor Yongzhen was a little more satisfied with him.
He stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Xiao Minyuan, personally pulled him up from the ground, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why do you and my father and son say thank you, I know that I have wronged you this time." ”
"Father..."
Xiao Minyuan's lips trembled slightly, tears flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly turned his head to wipe it as if he was embarrassed.
Emperor Yongzhen rarely saw Xiao Minyuan's posture as a child, not only did he not think he was angry, but laughed happily: "Look at it, this is really wronged." With the way you look, how can I trust Hyogo Division to you?"
Li Fengqian and the others watched Emperor Yongzhen's father and son on the side, and they didn't speak, but when they heard that Emperor Yongzhen really wanted to hand over the Hyogo Division to the third prince, they couldn't help but change their faces slightly.
The Hyogo Division is one of the five divisions in Beijing, which is in charge of military quarters, which involves the military department, the household department and other matters, and has a close relationship with the military.
More importantly, because of its importance, the Hyogo Division has always been managed alongside patrol battalions and garrison battalions. This also means that once someone takes over the Hyogo Division, they will be able to include the Beijing Central Patrol Battalion and the 8,000 Garrison Battalion outside the city.
Previously, after Emperor Yongzhen learned that Xiao Minyuan successfully quelled the rebellion, he praised his courage and courage, and originally intended to let him join the Hyoku Division, but later Li Fengqian and others advised him, saying that the three princes had just returned from Lin'an and had not been in contact with the city defense and military affairs, so Emperor Yongzhen temporarily rested this thought.
No one expected that Xiao Minyuan, who had always been gloomy, would retreat into advance, making Emperor Yongzhen feel guilty about him because of the Lin'an incident, and he actually brought up the matter again.
Guo Chongzhen had a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, don't laugh at the three princes, but the old minister heard that the three princes' trip to Lin'an this time was extremely dangerous, and they almost couldn't avoid several crises. Not to mention the three princes, even if they are replaced by old ministers, I can't help but cry twice. ”
"You old fellow. Emperor Yongzhen glanced at Guo Chongzhen with a smile: "Then I really want to see how you cry your nose." ”
Li Fengqian was wearing court clothes, and after hearing this, his face was full of smiles and said: "Isn't it, Guo Ge Lao has always been tough, and the ministers are also very curious, what Guo Ge Lao will look like if he cries." ”
Emperor Yongzhen burst out laughing.
Li Fengqian laughed twice, but suddenly changed his words and said: "But Your Majesty, the case of the Canghe River bursting the embankment is not a trivial matter, and it will affect the entire southern capital. The minister heard that Qiu Pengcheng hated the three princes for some reason, and not only lured the three princes into the city, but also wanted to put the three princes to death. ”
When the minister heard this, he pinched a cold sweat for the third prince. Then Qiu Pengcheng has been away from Beijing for several years, and he has no grievances with the three princes, how can he be so undead to him?"
Emperor Yongzhen smiled on his face, and Xiao Minyuan looked up at Li Fengqian fiercely.
Li Fengqian didn't seem to see the two of them at all, but continued: "Speaking of which, the three princes are also brave and strategic, and Cai Yan has always been unruly in the court, and no one is convinced, but I didn't expect it to be used by the three princes." ”
"If the three princes can join the Hyoku Division, they will definitely be more compatible with the generals in the army, cooperate with each other, and share the worries of Your Majesty in the future. ”
"Lord Feng, did you say?"
Feng Qizhou was standing quietly aside, but he didn't want to be suddenly named by Li Fengqi.
He looked up and saw Li Fengqian looking at him with a smile, and Emperor Yongzhen and Xiao Minyuan also looked towards him.
Feng Qizhou smiled indifferently: "Xiangye asked the wrong person about this matter, the minister has always only cared about the one acre and three points of land in the transfer department, and he doesn't know anything about the affairs in the army." If Your Majesty says that it is good, it will definitely be good. ”
"The three princes are both wise and brave, and they have been named King Wuxiang, so they can naturally share your Majesty's worries. ”
Old fox!
Li Fengqian couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He knew that when Xiao Minyuan was in Lin'an, Feng Qizhou didn't know why, and privately stuck the fold that Xiao Minyuan sent back to Beijing to ask for military grain and grass.
Now that Xiao Min has returned from a great victory, he is a big reward and a king, and he has already won the Sacred Heart, if he is allowed to win the Hyogo Division again, they who do not belong to the three princes will not be able to do well, is it possible that Feng Qizhou thinks that he can get good?
Li Fengqian was about to speak, but who knew that Feng Qizhou continued: "The ministers in the army don't understand, but at the moment, the ministers have a matter that they want to ask Your Majesty to judge." ”
"The granary was destroyed during the Lin'an Rebellion, and the minister heard that Qiu Pengcheng had forcibly requisitioned grain to fill the official warehouse, which caused the people's resentment to boil. ”
"Now that the Cao disaster is settled, it is to appease the victims, and the ministers are ordered to send grain and grass to Lin'an, but they are afraid of being robbed by the victims.
