In the middle of May of the fourth year of Chenghua, Jingshi.

Liu Juntao, the Marquis of Dingxiang, led more than 100,000 soldiers from the Tiance Army and the Beijing Battalion to return to the dynasty in triumph, and the entire Beijing Division was shaken.

On this day, hundreds of thousands of people in Jingshi and nearby prefectures and counties gathered inside and outside Desheng Gate, almost blocking all the official roads, and it took a lot of effort to maintain order in Beizhen Fusi and the Jinyi Guards of the Six Gates, and all the onlookers were driven to both sides of the official road.

At this time, the people around Desheng Gate were full of people, and the huge sound almost overturned the city tower, but it didn't take long to be suppressed by another neat and uniform sound, and for a while, the people gathered around the entire Desheng Gate became silent, and they all stretched their necks to look at the north.

I saw that the banner that covered the sky and the sun stretched from a distance to the sky, and an ironclad army with murderous awe-inspiring and high morale was driving along the official road, with momentum like a rainbow.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of people, officials and citizens suddenly burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, all of them shouted and waved their hands to their heart's content, almost exhausting all their strength.

The Ming Dynasty rebuilt the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, rebuilt the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, recovered the territory of the Han family that had suffered from Hu dust for nearly a thousand years in one fell swoop, rebuilt the Tianwei of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and let the Hu people in the Western Regions completely prostrate under the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, what a glory this is!

The soldiers of the Ming army who are coming at this time are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the Optimus Prime of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of everyone!

"Wan Sheng!"

"The general is mighty!"

Countless cheers gathered together, and the sound shook the sky!

In the large array of the Ming army winding like a dragon, Liu Juntao led the people of the shogunate to ride horses and walk in the forefront, and everyone was surrounded by the soldiers of the Longxiang army with helmets and armor, the Eagle Yang Army, the Tiger Ben Army, the Zhichong Army, and the Yue Cavalry Army marched in turn, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp also followed in formation, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and they constantly waved to the hometown fathers and elders who cheered and shouted around.

Soon, the soldiers of the Ming army who returned to the dynasty in triumph gathered outside the Desheng Gate, Liu Juntao led the general officers and generals of the towns, as well as the soldiers of the Beijing camp into the city, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army were camped outside the Desheng Gate in situ to wait for the arrangement of the imperial court, after all, it was impossible for all the troops of more than 100,000 to enter the city.

When Liu Juntao and the others led the soldiers of the Beijing camp into the city, the surrounding people came forward to watch, scrambling to see the heroic appearance of the soldiers of the Tiance Army, but the military regulations of the various departments of the Tiance Army were strict, and these people could only wait and see from a distance of 100 steps.

However, the officials of the Beijing Division transported a lot of supplies of wine and meat to reward the officers and soldiers of the Tiance Army.

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chenghua sat on the dragon chair with a spring breeze on his face, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together, and congratulated Emperor Chenghua one after another.

At this moment, the eunuch outside the main hall sang loudly: "Liu Juntao, the scholar of the military department and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the marquis of Dingxiang, have come to see you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall that was still full of people just now fell silent in an instant, and everyone, including Emperor Chenghua, looked at the door, only to see Liu Juntao striding in with heavy armor and his head held high, and when he walked to the center of the hall, he saluted and said: "Minister, Liu Juntao, meet Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for not being able to pay full salutes in their armor!" ”

Emperor Chenghua looked at Liu Juntao, who had a dusty face, walked off the dragon chair quickly in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, stepped forward to take Liu Juntao's hand, and said: "This time I went to the Western Regions, Dingxiang Hou worked hard and made great achievements, and led my Ming soldiers to fight bloodily and destroy strong enemies, which is really the pillar of the country!" After speaking, Emperor Chenghua did not wait for Liu Juntao to thank him, and directly pulled Liu Juntao to the dragon chair, and said loudly to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs: "Dingxiang Marquis is dedicated to the country, to open up territory for the country, to make contributions to China, and to return to the dynasty today, all the ministers should be thanked!" ”

Liu Juntao was immediately shocked when he heard this, and was about to politely decline, but Emperor Chenghua said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Dingxiang Hou, you can afford it!" ”

At this time, although Liu Juntao's expression was as usual, his heart was already a little chaotic.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military were also a little surprised, but they still bowed to Liu Juntao together, and Liu Juntao hurriedly thanked him.

Then, Emperor Chenghua ordered Liu Juntao to be the head of the hundred officials to discuss politics, and he sat back on the dragon chair.

"In this battle, the officers and soldiers of our army fought the power of the Ming Dynasty and took back tens of thousands of miles of territory belonging to China, and I decided to choose a day to sacrifice to the heavens to comfort the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Now that the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate have been established one after another, the Marquis of Dingxiang and the officers and soldiers of all departments of the army have made outstanding achievements, and I have decided to reward the soldiers of the whole army!"

After speaking, Emperor Chenghua waved his hand, and the celebrant and eunuch next to him held a holy decree in both hands, walked in front of the ministers, and read it out loud:

"Liu Juntao, the secretary of the military department and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the marquis of Dingxiang, has made outstanding achievements in the war, and has made great contributions to the country, and I am very relieved, and now the first assistant of the cabinet Qian Da is old and resigned, and Liu Juntao is appointed to succeed to the post of first assistant of the cabinet......"

"Promote Liu Juntao to the Duke of Tiance, promote the right pillar country (the highest martial honor), add the crown prince Taibao......, reward 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, reward a set of ...... in the Jingshi Mansion, and the officers and soldiers of the Longxiang Army have their own promotion ......"

"Promote the chief military officer of Taiyuan Town, the captain of the light car, and the general of Zhaoyong Yan Hu to the upper protection army (Zheng Erpin Wuxun), General Longhu (plus the award of the second rank of martial arts), hang the general seal ......of Taiyuan Town, and the officers and soldiers of the Yingyang Army have their own promotion ......"

"Zhang Xiaojun, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, made meritorious contributions to the Dutch fleet, and promoted Zhang Xiaojun, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, to the protector army (from the second rank of martial arts), and the general of Fengguo (from the second rank of martial arts), and hung the ...... of the general army of Shandong Town, and the various departments of the trapped army and the naval officers and men of Dongping Island have their own promotion ......;"

"Promote the captain of the light car, General Zhaoyong, and the chief military officer of Pingyang Town, Sun Xu, as the upper protector (Zheng Erpin Wuxun), the Dragon and Tiger General (plus the second rank of Wusan), hang the ...... of the general army of Pingyang Town, and the officers and men of each department of the Tiger Ben Army have their own promotion ......;"

"Promote the captain of the light car, General Zhaoyong, and the chief military officer of Zezhou Town, Chen Ziping, to the upper guard army (Zheng Erpin Wuxun), the general of Longhu (plus the award of the second rank of martial arts), hang the general seal ......of Zezhou Town, and the officers and soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Army have their own promotion ......;"

"Promote the captain of the light car, General Zhaoyong, and the chief military officer of Lu'an Town, Gao Ran, to the upper protection army (Zheng Erpin Wuxun), General Longhu (plus the second rank of martial arts), hang the ...... of the general army of Lu'an Town, and the officers and men of all departments of the Zhichong Army have their own promotion ......;"

"Promote the captain of the light car, General Zhaoyong, and Zhou Zongsheng, the chief military officer of Hanhai Town, to the upper protection army (Zheng Erpin Wuxun), the Dragon Tiger General (plus the second rank of martial arts), hang the ...... of the general army of Hanhai Town, and the officers and soldiers of the Changshui Army have their own promotion ......;"

"Hu Dexing, the governor of Shandong, has made outstanding contributions, and the post of governor of Shandong will be revoked with immediate effect, and Hu Dexing will be transferred to the post of secretary of the military department, and he will rush to Beijing to take up his post within one month......

After this series of reward decrees were read, the entire court was silent, and all the civil officials in the court were dumbfounded.

According to Emperor Chenghua's reward, the martial arts power in the court will expand dramatically, in addition to the six chief military officers under Liu Juntao who have been crowned earls, the rest of the generals of the Tiance Army have also been awarded the ranks, and the number of martial artists in the court has increased greatly for a while, and all of them are a series of Tiance Army, so that Liu Juntao is even more powerful.

Now Liu Juntao is about to take office as the first assistant of the cabinet, and Liu Juntao's old subordinate Hu Dexing has been promoted to the secretary of the military department, which means that Liu Juntao's forces have completely controlled the military and political power of the Ming Dynasty.

Correspondingly, now the political situation of the Ming Dynasty has been dominated by the martial arts, completely suppressing the existence of civil officials, and sweeping away the slight momentum of the Ming warriors after the change of the civil fort.

At this time, all the civil officials in the court felt sad and frightened, and were full of confusion about the future of themselves and the Ming Dynasty.

But Liu Juntao did not have a trace of confusion in his heart, now that Emperor Chenghua arranged it like this, although he also had the intention of promoting Hu Dexing to contain himself, it was still extremely beneficial to himself in the overall situation.

In the next step, Liu Juntao is ready to start his grand plan to comprehensively change the law and transform the Ming Dynasty, which will be a big plan to lay the foundation for the millennium national fortune of China!

Liu Juntao took the holy decree, bowed three times and bowed nine times in the main hall to thank the emperor, and then stood at the head of the hundred officials with his head held high.

Then, Emperor Chenghua spoke impassionedly, and the court meeting entered the next agenda.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are still those who are discussing, let's start playing now!"

At this time, the civil and military officials had not completely recovered from Emperor Chenghua's reward will, nor had they prepared the proposal in advance, they all looked at each other, and no one spoke.

At this time, Liu Juntao raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal!" ”

"Elder Liu Ge, please speak!"

"The minister, please discuss the name of Yu Shaobao!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden roar in the hall, and all the ministers began to talk in a whisper, and Emperor Chenghua also frowned slightly, but then he stretched out and looked at Liu Juntao with a smile.

"Your Majesty! When the Warat army came to the city, it was Yu Shaobao who repelled the Tartars in the army, and he made great contributions to the country, and the minister seconded it! ”

"Your Majesty! Yu Shaobao is loyal and upright, and should not be stigmatized, and the minister seconded it! ”

“…… Yu Shaobao is a famous minister for the ages...... and the minister seconded it! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

For a time, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces all seconded the proposal, but no one came out to oppose it.

Liu Juntao and Emperor Chenghua were also a little surprised by this, but after thinking about it carefully, they understood the reason.

One is that Emperor Jingtai's power has been basically cleared back then, and there is a lack of resistance to opposition, and now Yu Qian's merits and personality have been widely spread with the growing strength of the Tiance army, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have no psychological motivation to continue to oppose it, so it is reasonable that this proposal was unanimously passed.

Emperor Chenghua said loudly: "I also have this intention, Yu Shaobao is the pillar of the country, and it is really helpless to be wronged, I have decided to restore Yu Shaobao's reputation ......"

Liu Juntao listened to Emperor Chenghua's words, and the whole article was in front of affirming Yu Qian and praising him, and suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart, and two lines of tears were suddenly left.

Yu Shaobao, eternal!
