534 Warriors of the Kingdom

Sure enough, I heard Emperor Chongzhen call out loudly: "Where is Wu Zhong?" ”

Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was really envious, thinking about this, he was shouting to himself.

Under his gaze, he saw that Wu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard standing beside him, had already blushed, strode out of the ranks, came to the front of Emperor Chongzhen, and excitedly replied: "The last general!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wu Zhong, and he was actually a little emotional in his heart.

In his previous life, every time he saw a movie or TV series or something, or even in a real case, undercover was a bad ending, and he couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

Why so much about undercover?

The work of an undercover agent is really not something that ordinary people can do! Anyway, if the psychological quality is not up to par, what should I do if I dream of telling the details of my identity? Seriously, on this issue, Emperor Chongzhen has thought about it more than once, worrying about undercover. I can't figure it out, there are really undercover agents, because this exposed identity is not necessarily!

However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen can't control the affairs of his previous life. But in today's plane, as an emperor, if he can have the final say, he will never allow undercover agents to suffer unfair treatment.

Looking at the excited Wu Zhong, Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "Qing Jiu died all his life, with extraordinary courage and wisdom, went deep into the tiger's den, and maneuvered in the Jianyu, without any temptation, providing great support for the Ming Dynasty to win the war. I am very satisfied with Qing's performance, and I deserve to be my hero of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I specially awarded the gold Ming Hero Medal to Yu Qing to incentive! ”

After finishing speaking, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Chen Baoting on the side immediately held a small wooden box and opened it for the emperor to take out the gold medal inside. In the winter light, it is shiny and very eye-catching.

When Emperor Chongzhen hung it on Wu Zhong's chest, it could be seen from the obvious signs of the official robe being pulled down, that it was definitely gold, not brass-wrapped.

Of course, at this moment, whether it is real gold or not is actually not very important. Because the emperor said that this is gold, it is gold. And from the classification of the medals mentioned before, this gold medal is the highest level of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, this is the highest honor!

"The last general bows to the Holy Grace!" Wu Zhong knelt on one knee and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, with that kind of resoluteness in his eyes. Anyone who sees it will not doubt that at this time, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to jump off the building, and he will definitely not hesitate at all.

Indeed, this is the highest honor, and Daming is now the only one. Even in the future, it is conceivable that there will definitely not be many people who can get this medal. Such glory is enough to be a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, so that children and grandchildren know the deeds of their ancestors back then, as well as the immensity of the emperor's grace!

Seriously, Wu Zhong almost forgot. When he was ordered to go to Jianyu, Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, found him and told him about it, saying that the emperor had explained that when he returned from completing the task, he would be rewarded with a medal, called the Ming Hero Medal.

At that time, in fact, Wu Zhong was just listening, this kind of thing had never been heard of before. Besides, I don't know if I will come back with my life. Even when he came back later, he didn't take the matter of this medal to heart. As a result, now there is a piece on his chest, and it is still the highest level of the Ming Hero Medal!

Others, watching the scene. Although they heard Emperor Chongzhen's words of commendation, they didn't know much about Wu Zhong's affairs. In other words, Wu Zhong's deeds are far less famous than Chen Shaoan.

However, they could also hear from the emperor's words that this Jinyi Guard's commander Tongzhi had done the work of the Jinyi Guard's secret agent, and every time he sent back news that was crucial to the war.

Thinking so, they looked back and thought about it, really! In many wars, the Ming side seems to know the enemy's deployment well. Could it be that it's all the credit of this Jinyi Guard's commander and acquaintance, right?

This kind of thinking of theirs is actually what Emperor Chongzhen wants. Otherwise, it will all be calculated by Emperor Chongzhen himself, and every time it is like this, it will be absolutely abnormal, and it may make people suspect that there are immortals in this world. In this way, there will inevitably be obstacles to the promotion of natural sciences.

Therefore, he exaggerated Wu Zhong's credit. After all, if Wu Zhong really wants to send the news, the daylily will be cold. But no matter what, it's the best.

Some people who are willing to believe that the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven will let them continue to believe it. If you don't believe in this, you will believe that the ability of Jinyiwei's secret agent is absolutely amazing. In this way, if they want to do something, they will be afraid that there will be factory guards listening to the corner, so that a vigilant knife will be hung on their heads, so that they will not dare to do anything wrong and do things that violate the law and discipline.

The ceremony of awarding the medal ended in this way, and Emperor Chongzhen finally instructed the soldiers in the audience: "On the day of the ceremony, I want my people to see the glory of the meritorious soldiers." You are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, and I am proud of you! ”

Hearing his words, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers all knelt down on one knee excitedly and shouted in unison: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

A thousand words, which boil down to the most ordinary sentence is, with such an emperor, there is nothing to say!

Although it seems that a lot of medals have been issued on this school field, how many soldiers are there in the Ming Dynasty? Millions! Even in the Beijing Division, most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp did not have them. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, not to mention, have not a single one. It can be seen that this medal is actually still very rare. Hanging on your chest and walking out, it will definitely make many people envious.

In fact, not to mention other people, the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty who came with them were also envious in their hearts.

For them, this kind of medal is actually similar to the belt of civil officials, mends, fish bags, etc., which is a symbol of honor and status.

In advance, they didn't know about this medal, which was quietly prepared by the emperor. They all knew about it before they first arrived. If I had known earlier, I would have been advised.

Emperor Chongzhen seemed to know what they were thinking, and after returning to the palace, he smiled at the ministers and said: "Although the civil and military are different, they are all my right-hand men, and they are indispensable. Wu You's medal, Wen, and I are naturally prepared. ”

As soon as he said this opening remark, all of a sudden, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall froze. Unexpected, very unexpected!

Seeing the surprised looks of the courtiers below, Emperor Chongzhen didn't take care of them, and then said: "Wu is a heroic medal, and Wen, I have prepared a national soldier medal, which is also divided into three levels: gold, silver and bronze. When I destroy Jianyu and recover Liaodong, I will be rewarded again, and at that time, there will be a reward for the Order of the Nationals! ”

The country's warriors are unique, which means that the contemporaries are outstanding and the only one is outstanding. This is the highest level of praise for a talent. From "Historical Records: The Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin", generally refers to Han Xin.

It can be seen from this that the weight of the word "national scholar" weighs, compared with ordinary heroes, these literati with ink in their stomachs naturally prefer this honorary title of "national scholar".

Although these civil officials in the palace probably guessed that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding, who was still in Liaodong, would definitely have this honor. However, what about the other people present, maybe if they work hard, they can also have a national medal, even if it is bronze!

Thinking like this, they immediately became excited, and they all shouted long live together.

Seeing that they all accepted the medal, Emperor Chongzhen threw out the regulations about the medal.

Let's not talk about the specific terms, but it can be summed up in three points.

First, if there is a bronze medal, under the same conditions, there will be priority for things that are beneficial or whatever.

Second, if there is a silver medal, on the basis of the bronze medal, there is also the privilege of not bowing to the official.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials had to worship, which was the rule of Taizu. And among the officials, those who are higher than the third level also have to worship. Although by this time, it is not very compliant. But, after all, it's not a rule! But if you have the silver medal, even if you have the Qipin County Order, you can see the cabinet ministers when you look back, then you can treat them politely.

Thirdly, the gold medal is on the basis of the silver medal, and there is also the privilege of not having to salute the emperor and having the privilege of secret recital.

If those who are qualified to discuss in the Wenhua Hall are all important ministers of the imperial court, and they don't particularly care about the privileges of bronze and silver medals, then they will definitely care very much about this gold medal. Everything else can be ignored, just giving the emperor the right to play secrets, this one is enough.

Of course, some of these important ministers actually have the right to play secrets. But he will also envy those who have a gold medal, after all, this is the highest level of honor for the country's warriors! At least in a few years, a person with a gold medal can be counted in the palm of one hand. For a while, many of them were very envious of Lu Xiangsheng, who was far away in Liaodong.

At the same time, I was also thinking about what I should do to have the opportunity to have the Order of the Nationals? Even if it's copper, after all, at this time, others don't have their own, so hanging out is a symbol of status!

Compared with these important ministers of the imperial court, after the news of the medal spread, the people of Beijing were very envious of this medal. Not only is there an honor, but the privilege of the medal is also a very real content for ordinary people. In other words, it's a superior credential!

All of a sudden, the people of Beijing were looking forward to the upcoming ceremony, because they already knew that when the ceremony was held at the end of the year, the honored soldiers would line up to participate in the ceremony. At that time, you will be able to see the medals on their chests!

In fact, they didn't have to wait long, and a few days later, the ceremony began. The people of Beijing, as before, got up early to participate in this grand event as before.
