The next day, the middle study finally issued a reward for the meritorious people during Zhao Hongrun's expedition, which was promulgated by the Ministry of War.

There are two first-class meritorious services, Bailiba, the general of the Junshui Battalion, and Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Sai.

For these two current generals who were once Zongwei by Wei Tianzi's side, the rewards of the imperial court seemed to be decent, including Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Battalion who was in the second rank of meritorious service.

It's no wonder, after all, these three generals used to be the guards of Wei Tianzi's side, and now they hold great power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the three of them are extremely powerful.

Therefore, in order to avoid the embarrassment of "no reward and no seal", the imperial court did not promote the titles of these three this time, but only mentioned some "Yin Ze heirs", to put it bluntly, that is, one day these three generals are gone, their heirs can also enjoy the meritorious status of their fathers, at least the position of local military captains.

You must know that the military lieutenant is not a petty official, how many people participated in the military department and shined during the period, and the starting point was only the deputy position next to the local captain, like Chen Shi, Wang Shu, Ma Zhang and others, which one didn't stay up for several years before being transferred to another position as a military lieutenant?

Although in normal times, the local military lieutenants are also in charge of the security of the city's anti-theft, at most, when there are thieves in the surrounding area, they can be regarded as middle-level military attachés in the military.

However, in an emergency, due to the provisions of the Great Wei Military Law, the local lieutenant has the right to control all the surrounding military power in an emergency, just like when Pingyujun Xiong Hu attacked Yanling, Yanling Wuwei Chen Shi became a front-line general.

All in all, he is a good military attaché, usually idle and has a lot of oil and water.

The second-class meritorious service includes more people, including Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, who was the leader, and Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wu Majiao, and other generals of the current Yanshui Army and Shangshui Army who surrendered to the Great Wei. as well as Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, Wang Shu of Yan Lingjun, and even Meng Kui, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works.

For the reward of this meritorious level, the imperial court mainly gave them houses, money and goods, and at the same time gave them the honor of building a house.

Take Qu Cheng as an example, although the court did not directly reward him with a mansion, but. When he bought or built his own mansion in Yanling in the future, he could engrave the words "General Qu Fu of the Yan Shui Army" on the plaque in front of the mansion in a grand manner, which was not only an honor, but also a political guarantee for Qu Cheng by the Great Wei court.

I have to say that for the former Chu generals who surrendered to Great Wei, such as Qu Cheng and Yan Mo, it is more important than getting some money, compared to the official document of the Ministry of War recognizing their current status, because they are not short of money, after all, Zhao Hongrun still has three percent of the war profits in his hands. It will be distributed proportionally to the six armies involved in the battle, as previously agreed.

In this process, several officials were transferred, such as Zhao Zhun, the former county commander of Linying County, who was transferred to Zhaoling County as the county commander. And Chen Shi, Ma Zhang, and Wang Shu were also relieved of their original positions as military lieutenants, officially named generals, and took charge of Zhao Hongrun's newly established Yanling Army.

Not. To be precise, it should be the Summoning Army. After all, this army is currently stationed in Zhaoling, and in order to monitor the movements of the Yanshui Army and the Shangshui Army, Zhao Hongrun intends to let this army be stationed in Zhaoling, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, for a long time, so the Yanling Army will be renamed the Zhaoling Army in the near future. After receiving the official establishment, the army was expanded to 30,000.

In this way, on the southern border of the Great Wei Dynasty, there were four armies with a total scale of 120,000, namely the Fen Cheng Sai, the Zhaoling Army, the Yanshui Army, and the Shang Water Army, although the military budget of the military department would become tight. But I believe that in this way, the southern border of the Great Wei will be as stable as Mount Tai, even if Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, turns back on the water in the future and reneges on his private agreement with Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongrun is not afraid.

However, the result of such a large-scale expansion of the army is that Zhao Hongrun must find a way to solve this huge military expenditure in the future, after all, if the military department is crushed by this huge military expenditure, this is not in line with his original intention.

At this point, Zhao Hongrun is ready to make a fuss about Shangshui County.

To put it bluntly, he had planned to make a private deal with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, to earn enough money from the Chu State to support the three armies of the Zhaoling Army, the Shangshui Army, and the Yanshui Army, at least to ensure that these three armies were self-sufficient and would not cause financial pressure on the military department. I won't go into detail here.

Speaking of the third-class meritorious service, the rewards of this grade, the vast majority of the local officials of the Great Wei Dynasty who died in this battle, such as Chen Bing, the former county magistrate of Zhaoling County, and others, for the rewards of these martyrs, in addition to Zhao Hongrun's previous promise, the imperial court gave additional preferential treatment, preferential treatment of their heirs, simply put, it is the sons and nephews of these martyrs, and the imperial court hires them exceptionally, even if they are young people who have not passed the scientific examination, they can also enter the career in one step.

It is undeniable that this is a great favor, and it can be seen that the imperial court is also playing the abacus of "buying horse bones with a thousand gold", so as to steadily improve the sense of identity and belonging of local officials in China to the Great Wei, the Son of Heaven, and the imperial court.

In general, the civil officials and generals who followed under the command of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, all received rewards to varying degrees, but because Zhao Hongrun still held the money and goods that Sancheng originally planned to reward these people under his hands, the imperial court reduced the financial rewards and increased the rewards in terms of honor and authority.

It's no wonder, after all, this year is the time when the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry need a lot of money, and the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Imperial Court is obviously also planning to save if it can.

However, it is undeniable that the detailed rewards issued by the Ministry of War are very satisfactory to both the meritorious men of the Great Wei and the newly surrendered generals such as Qu Cheng.

As for Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su who should be the first to make the first contribution in this battle, his name is not on the list of rewards issued by the Ministry of War.

The reason is very simple, because Zhao Hongrun's name as King Su is already famous now, and there is no need for the military department to make a name for him again.

In fact, in fact, Zhao Hongrun hopes to gradually fade out of the government and the opposition, after all, if he is burdened by fame, it will affect his future days.

He doesn't want to be affected by fame, let alone be chained to the imperial court because of this, even if he wants Great Wei to be strong, he doesn't need to bow down to everything, right? Give a word of advice when necessary, and let the officials of the six ministries do it.

Anyway, Zhao Hongrun doesn't want to become a toiler, like Wei Tianzi, who is only forty years old but has gray temples.

But despite this, Wei Tianzi still gave a reward in private.

And the reward given to him can be summed up in just four words: out of the cabinet and the mansion.

The former is just Wei Tianzi's words, and the latter, that is really a real reward.

A mansion!

A Su Wang's Mansion!

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun waited for fifteen years and finally got free, and Wei Tianzi finally allowed him to leave the cabinet, allowed him to move out of the palace, and opened up a palace in Daliang City.

What made Zhao Hongrun even happier was that Wei Tianzi really rewarded him with a mansion as he expected.

When he heard the news, Zhao Hongrun happily took Princess Yulong, Mi Jiang, Mi Rui, Yang Yu Xing, and all the sect guards, and a large group of people to visit the mansion that Wei Tianzi planned to reward him.

Not to mention, the location of the mansion is really good, sitting in the north and facing south, and it covers a large area, according to the Zongwei enthusiastically measured, there are roughly nearly two acres of land, and what is even more commendable is that this mansion is located near Zhengyang North Street.

As we all know, although Zhengyang North Street is not the most prosperous street in Daliang City, it is definitely the most expensive location, because Zhengyang North Street is close to the Imperial Palace, therefore, anyone who can live near Zhengyang North Street is all the dignitaries and nobles in Daliang City, ordinary people, I am afraid that they will not want to make enough money to build a house near Zhengyang North Street in their lives, let alone a big mansion covering an area of nearly two acres.

In front of the house, the surrounding environment is also quite good, and in front of the house is a bluestone paved street, which is said to be called Qingping Lane. Behind the mansion is an inner city river, lined with willow and peach trees.

Remember that in the customs of the Great Wei Dynasty, if there is a river (living water) near the house of a family, the household will surely prosper in the future.

Although Zhao Hongrun scoffed at this, the Wei people seemed to care about this, so a mansion like this near the river had always been reserved by dignitaries.

It is no exaggeration to say that this future "Su Wangfu", whether it is an area, a sitting area and the surrounding environment, is not inferior to the palaces of several royal brothers such as Yongwang Hongyu and Xiangwang Hongjing.

The only thing that made Zhao Hongrun a little disappointed was that this mansion was not newly built, and it looked a little dilapidated at first glance, and it was not difficult to guess that it should have had its own owner, but later for some reason, it fell into the hands of the imperial court, and it belonged to the kind of mansion that had fallen into disrepair for a long time, and it needed to be renovated.

When it comes to rectification and renovation, before Zhao Hongrun can think of how to rebuild and renovate, Meng Kui, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who learned the news, hurriedly brought people over and took over the renovation of the future Suwang Mansion in a big way.

According to Meng Kui's promise, their Ministry of Engineering will be able to completely renovate this palace in two months at the latest, so that this future palace will become a new look.

That is to say, when it is in May, Zhao Hongrun will be able to stay in this palace that belongs to him, and at that time, he can also surprise Miss Su and bring her from the water pavilion to the mansion.

On that day, Zhao Hongrun was so excited that he couldn't close his eyes all night, after all, he had desperately wanted to leave the palace that made him feel very depressed many times and live in the palace that belonged to him alone, and from then on, no one could control him.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, although he was full of sleepiness, he couldn't sleep at all, and in the end, it was really rare that he didn't sleep all night.

"It's over, I'm so excited......

It wasn't until the next day that Zhao Hongrun woke up and secretly said something was wrong.

Because this day is the 15th day of April in the 17th year of Hongde, it is the day when Wei Tianzi presides over the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, and I don't know how many powerful people and people will watch today's grand ceremony from afar.

It is no exaggeration to say that today is an important day that cannot afford to go wrong.

This not only refers to Zhao Hongrun, but also refers to the prince of the East Palace, who assisted Wei Tianzi in presiding over the ceremony of worshipping the heavens. (To be continued.) )
