Leopard room.

The bigwigs of the court gathered together.

They had already learned the news that Liu Liu and Liu Qi had been beheaded, and they couldn't believe it at first, because Wang Yuan only brought 200 cavalry.

But I have to believe it, because every time Wang Yuan wins a battle, in addition to beheading, he also captures thousands of living thieves (excluding the battle of Jinghai County). If you dare to kill the good and take the risk, you can know the truth and falsehood by interrogating the prisoners casually, which is much more reliable than the combat exploits of some friendly forces!

The Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty did look down on the military attachés, but they attached great importance to the military exploits of the civil officials.

Once the civilian government and the army achieve a great victory, the grade will inevitably rush upward, and even the first assistant can't stop it if he wants to!

What kind of reward should be given to Wang Yuan, the important ministers have already discussed it in private, and today they are just here to report the results to the emperor.

In front of the emperor and the ministers, Wang Chang, the secretary of the military department, re-announced Wang Yuan's achievements: "Patrol the imperial history Wang Yuan, the imperial horse supervisor Feng Yu Zhu Ying, and the commander Zhu Zhi, command 3,000 battalions of elite cavalry 200, Jinyi guard sentry cavalry 200. Yu Renqiu County broke more than 10,000 thieves, beheaded the thief Sun Hu, and captured thousands of anti-thieves; He also burned the anti-thief grain and grass in Jinghai County, broke through the camp of the thief, and beheaded the thief's first torture tiger, Liu Yanshen, and Zhang Xiu; Recovered to the north of Cangzhou Xinqiaoyi, broke the main force of the thieves, beheaded the thieves Liu Liu, Liu Qi, and Qi Hutou, captured the thief Liu Hui, and captured thousands of thieves. ”

"Shhh

The bigwigs collectively took a breath of cool air, although they had already read the battle report, they were still shocked at this time.

These achievements are so wicked, it's like watching a romance.

Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile: "Liu Liu and Liu Qi, the two thieves, can be promoted to the third level if they only capture and behead one person casually." Zhu Qing said, how to promote Wang Erlang? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, these merits should not be counted on Wang Hanlin alone, Zhu Fengyu and Zhu Commander, who assisted in the unification of the army, have their own merits. Zhang Maolan of Renqiu County, Xu Tai, deputy commander-in-chief, Nie Xuan, commander of Guangdong, and Manzheng of Qianhu in Zhejiang, were also cooperating to kill the enemy. ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Wang Erlang is very modest, he did not take the credit alone in the report documents. But it's always not wrong to be promoted to three levels and then given an earl, right? ”

Liu Kai, the secretary of Honglu Temple, immediately advised: "Your Majesty, the title should not be awarded lightly. ”

"Smack!"

Zhu Houzhao was immediately angry, slammed the table, stood up and said sharply: "Commanding two hundred cavalry, born and dead, even fighting and winning, beheading Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi in battle, is this a light award?" If this is not for me, how can you reward the generals of the army who have only captured a few hundred thieves? ”

Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can confer loose ranks and martial arts to show your merits." ”

Zhu Houzhao's anger subsided for a moment and asked, "Then how do you say you should reward it?" ”

Yang Yiqing said: "The official is promoted to one level, and he is a ...... for the six grades of the servant to speak or read."

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Houzhao was furious again: "I said that the good official was promoted to three levels, why did you send the official one level away?" ”

Yang Yiqing said bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is an official position of the Hanlin Academy, and you can't be promoted too quickly." If he is really promoted to three levels in a row, Wang Ruoxu is afraid that he will be a waiter before he is twenty years old! He is the new champion of this year's department, and it is difficult to change or concurrently hold other official positions, and there is really no way for the minister. ”

This really didn't deliberately suppress Wang Yuan, but Wang Yuan's situation was too special, and the bigwigs couldn't find any good way to discuss it for a long time.

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and bargained: "At least the official will be promoted to two levels, and he will be promoted to a bachelor's degree from the fifth grade!" Also, give him another Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yunzhong! ”

The ministers looked at each other.

The left and right Chunfang are all subordinate to the Zhan Shifu and are the full-time institutions for educating the prince. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was basically reduced to an honorary position, which was used as a springboard for the promotion of Hanlin officials.

With the official resume of Zhan Shifu, he can only be promoted to squire in the future, and Zhu Houzhao obviously wants to accelerate the promotion of Wang Yuan.

However, how can there be a new champion who concurrently served as the Zhan Shifu in the year of the palace examination?

Break the rules!

Li Dongyang, who has been seriously ill and has not been allowed to resign, finally spoke up: "Your Majesty thinks twice, you can give Wang Ruoxu a higher rank and rank, but you must not let him take up a post in Zhan Shifu now." ”

"Your Majesty think twice!" All the ministers shouted in unison.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to have trouble with the ministers, just a position in the Zhan Mansion, and he could also give him an opportunity in the future. He said, "Then give the Foot Rank and the Order Rank!" ”

Yang Yiqing looked at Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe looked at Li Dongyang again, and Li Dongyang leaned over and nodded slightly.

Yang Yiqing immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wang Yuan can be promoted to a bachelor's degree, a training doctor, and a Xiezheng Shuyin." ”

"Accurate!" Zhu Houzhao was finally satisfied, very, very, very satisfied.

The ministers felt tired, even if they were Sanjie and Wenxun, they couldn't be sealed so quickly, but it was better than directly giving the title and the position of Zhan Shifu.

Wang Yuan's contribution this time is too great, and the emperor is determined to be promoted by a super rank, and the ministers must give an explanation.

It's good now, a new champion will be promoted from the official position of the Wupin Hanlin Academy in half a year, and the civil officials from the fifth rank will be given all the ranks and Wenxun - if you continue to make meritorious contributions, you can also be awarded the Fengzhi doctor, that is the real promotion from the fifth rank.

Although this kind of reward for the package sale did not make Wang Yuanguan promoted to the third level, it was more terrible than the official promotion to the third level!

It's too scary to say it, and in the future, the official documents mention Wang Erlang, and his full name is: Fengxun Doctor, Xiezheng Shuyin, and Wang Yuan, a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, Guanglu Temple, and Honglu Temple, you can discuss how to make a big gift for prisoners." “

The ministers were all stunned, they had just broken the rules and rewarded a Wang Yuan, why did they come to make trouble again?

Fei Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, reminded: "Your Majesty, the ancestral system set by Taizu, the Ming Dynasty does not have a gift for prisoners. ”

"With such a great victory, how can you not offer a prisoner gift?" Zhu Houzhao was very angry.

Yang Tinghe advised: "Your Majesty, if you really want to hold a prisoner ceremony, it should also be a great victory in the battle against the remnants of Meng Yuan." Now that the administration has been in deficit and the people are in turmoil, the court should review its mistakes, how can it hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony to celebrate? ”

Li Dongyang came and said: "Your Majesty, offering prisoners is a great gift for the country, and you will sacrifice heaven and earth and the temple." ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "Then we won't offer prisoners." ”

This is a particularly embarrassing thing, the sacrifice of prisoners must be sacrificed to the temple, but how to write the sacrifice text?

Could it be said that the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were on top, and Zhu Houzhao, the descendant of the Ming Dynasty, was brutal and unreasonable, provoking the rebellious people to wreak havoc in Gyeonggi. Now that I have caught the head of the thief and presented it to my ancestors and ancestors, am I very awesome?

Shame on the ancestral grave!

After Wang Yuan's reward was finalized, those eunuchs and military attachés were very easy to handle, and it didn't matter how they were promoted.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor was served by Yu Zhu Ying, and was directly promoted to the Young Eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the official was promoted to the fifth level.

Jingwei commanded Zhu Zhi, promoted to commander of the guard, promoted the commander of the guard, promoted the official to one level, continued to command the two hundred elite cavalry, and then awarded the rank of general Zhaoyong from the third rank of martial arts.

Zhu Cong and Zhu Xiang were both hereditary thousands of households, promoted to two levels, continued to command two hundred elite cavalry, and then awarded the rank of general Wood.

Wu Liande was promoted to the hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei, and the official was promoted to two levels.

Even Nie Zhen and Man Zheng, who were fooled by Wang Yuan into fighting, were all promoted to the next level, and they were all happy anyway.
