Chapter 216: Step by step

"Zhou Aiqing, what you said is right, let him Yuan Dynasty continue to command Chen Zhouwei's soldiers and horses, and he can also help me take care of Henan."

"If I give him another commander, I think it will also make him feel the favor of the emperor." Chongzhen said to himself.

Zhou Yanru was also listening to Chongzhen's words below.

"Zhou Aiqing, hurry up and draft the decree, so that the meritorious ministers can be rewarded as soon as possible, and the meritorious ministers cannot be chilled." Chongzhen waved his hand as he spoke, and leaned back on the dragon chair again.

The long-term correction of the recital made Chongzhen a tired state every day, a little overexcited just now, and now he feels a little tired.

Zhou Yanru saw Chongzhen's tired face, and hurriedly bowed and exited the hall.

After exiting the main hall, Zhou Yanru exchanged a few polite words with Wang Chengen, explained that the emperor was a little tired, and asked Wang Chengen to send some snacks to the emperor.

Then he straightened out his official robes, pondered in his heart how to write the holy decree of the reward, and walked towards the cabinet.

With the consent of the emperor and the proposal of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, the reward of the Yuan Dynasty was soon decided.

Money, food, these rewards are symbolic, for the Yuan Dynasty, it is indeed a little worthless, the only thing that can make the Yuan Dynasty look at it is to reward a part of the armor and weapons, and the most weighty is to officially seal the Yuan Dynasty as the commander of Henan, and concurrently serve as the commander of Chen Zhouwei.

This officially represents that Yuan Chao has stepped out of Chen Zhouwei and entered a bigger stage.

The person who pronounced the decree to the Yuan Dynasty was also an old acquaintance of the Yuan Dynasty this time.

This time, it was Zhou Huaji's father-in-law who went out in person.

This Zhou Huaji is also idle in the palace on weekdays, and this time I heard that his old acquaintance Yuan Chao made a contribution and won a reward, so he simply asked for an envoy.

First, I went out of the palace and went out of Beijing to relax, and secondly, I also came to meet this amazing old friend.

"Father-in-law Zhou, I didn't expect that such a proclamation would also alarm Father-in-law Zhou to come in person, it really honors me." Yuan Chao, who got the news early and greeted the holy decree outside Chenzhou Wei, actually saw Zhou Huaji come to announce the decree in person this time, half out of politeness, and half out of sincerity.

"Oops, oops, Yuan Chao, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now I'm getting more and more energetic." After Zhou Huaji came to Chenzhouwei, he also walked in front of the team early, so that he could meet his old acquaintances.

Seeing Yuan Chao greeting him here, he also said cordially, what Zhou Huaji said was indeed sincere.

The Yuan Dynasty in front of him was wearing a scarlet robe painted with a tiger symbolized by the military attache of the third grade, young and radiant.

"Isn't this all for my Yuan Dynasty, otherwise where would my Yuan Dynasty have today's look." Yuan Chao was still polite and said modestly.

Yuan Chao said as he invited Zhou Huaji into Chenzhuang.

All the way, Zhou Huaji watched Chen Zhuang.

In front of Chenzhuang, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the business of merchants is booming, the soldiers are well-trained, where there is a trace of negative scenes, such an atmosphere makes Zhou Huaji feel as if he has left Daming and gone to another place.

"Yuan Dynasty, I heard that this time the emperor also wasted his brains in order to reward you."

"It is said that you have no shortage of food and clothing, no shortage of soldiers, horses, money and food, and in the end, you can only be rewarded with your official position."

"This time, I take a closer look at Chen Zhuang, and I really think that your lordship and the saint's opinion is good." Zhou Huaji said as he walked and watched.

"Then I'll listen to what high-ranking officials the emperor gave me." Yuan Chao also had a trace of worry in his heart when he heard it.

Yuan Chao was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that Chongzhen would play the piano indiscriminately, transfer himself away from Chen Zhouwei, and then get someone to replace him as the leader of Chen Zhouwei. And if you put yourself in a court official position, it will greatly affect your foundation in Chen Zhuang.

And he can't play with those old fritters in the court, and he will be dismissed after a while if he is placed on a charge, then he will really show himself.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chao beat a drum in his heart.

"Father-in-law Zhou, please hurry up and announce the decree for a while, so that I can rest assured." Yuan Chao had no choice but to ask Zhou Huaji to hurry up and announce the decree.

"You, because I think you're still in such a hurry to award a reward, okay, okay, we'll be rewarded in a while." Zhou Huaji smiled and thought that Yuan Chao couldn't wait to be promoted.

After walking into the mansion of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the place where the office and rest of the Yuan Dynasty were integrated, Zhou Huaji stood in front of the incense case that the Yuan Dynasty had prepared a long time ago, took out the holy decree, and began to read it word by word.

When he heard that the emperor had appointed himself as the commander of the capital and concurrently served as the commander of Chen Zhouwei, a stone in Yuan Chao's heart fell to the ground.

This reward can be said to be very in line with Yuan Chao's intentions, although it seems that the promotion is not large, but it is the most practical.

"Command, thanks." Yuan Chao said word by word. Then he stood up and respectfully accepted the decree in his favor.

"General Yuan, congratulations." Zhou Huaji said congratulations and looked at Yuan Chao, who was quite happy.

"Thank you Father-in-law Zhou, Father-in-law Zhou has worked hard, please take a rest in Chenzhuang these days, and then I want to accompany Father-in-law Zhou to Kaifeng Mansion to meet our old acquaintances, Sun Zushou, Brother Sun." Yuan Chao thought that he would just stop by and go north with Zhou Huaji, Zhou Huaji returned to Beijing, and went to Kaifeng Mansion to report by himself.

"Oh? Yes, I haven't seen Sun Zushou for a long time, so I'm going to see it this time, it's good. Zhou Huaji also agreed to Yuan Chao's proposal.

"Yuan Chao, I'll rest for a few days, and when you set off to take office, I'll wait for a north." After saying that, Zhou Huaji also took the people and went down to rest.

And the Yuan Dynasty had already arranged food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that these angels who proclaimed the decree could be well taken care of.

"Congratulations to the owner."

"Congratulations to the owner." After seeing Zhou Huaji and the others go down, these old men in Chen Zhuang congratulated Yuan Chao one by one.

These people don't fancy the rewards of the imperial court, and many of them have official positions in the imperial court.

But in Chenzhuang, in Chenzhouwei, the official positions of the imperial court are not so feasible, and they often take a fancy to the arrangements of the Yuan Dynasty.

Whoever the Yuan Dynasty lets is in charge of what, they will be in charge of what, so the Yuan Dynasty is promoted, they are happy, they have any emperor's reward, they don't value it, they value the reward of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Well, thank you. This time, with the help of all of you, I, Yuan Chao, was promoted to the commander of the capital. ”

"But such a co-governor official position is not the foundation of my Yuan."

"My foundation is all the brothers, Chen Zhuang, and Chen Zhouwei."

"With these, I have the strength to speak, without you, no matter how high my official position is, it will be a passing thing." Yuan Chao said flatly.

However, everyone tasted Yuan Chao's words, and it was indeed true.

Everyone is in the collective of Chen Zhuang, which is so important, leaving Chen Zhuang is a fish leaving the water.
