Li Zhi stood in the center of the main hall and received the canonization. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The canonization of the Duke of the State is a major event of the state, and according to the ritual system, Li Zhi must be humble three times.

Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "Minister Li Zhi is only twenty-seven years old, and his seniority is short-sighted, so he doesn't dare to be in a high position in the country!" ”

Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, said: "Although Li Qing is not old, he has made immortal military exploits, and he is respected by people all over the world, so he can't help but seal it!" ”

Li Zhi said again: "The minister was promoted too quickly, he was just awarded the title of Marquis of Xingguo, and he was promoted to the title of Duke of the Kingdom, I am afraid of being criticized, and I dare not accept the title!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Although the promotion is fast, the credit is greater. If it weren't for Li Qing's defeat of Dongnu's 50,000 iron cavalry in the first battle of Hutouba, how could the Battle of Jinzhou be won? If Jinzhou is defeated, Jiangshan Sheji will be in danger. With such a contribution, even the feudal prince is not high. ”

Li Zhi looked at the Son of Heaven, and finally said: "The minister led the 160,000 border troops to ask for his life on the outskirts of the city, and he did not dare to accept the title if he did not dare to do what he could not do. ”

Hearing this, Baiguan looked sideways and looked at Zhu Youzhen.

Chen Bing went to the suburbs and forced the palace to ask for his life, which is something that people and ministers should not do. Li Zhi did not refuse the canonization of the Son of Heaven before receiving the canonization, but he said this important thing in the link of humility, what does this mean? This Li Zhi not only wants to win this title, but also wants to see the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards his military advice.

This Li Zhi is really bold.

Even Wang Chengen, who was beside the Son of Heaven, changed color slightly when he heard Li Zhi's words, and looked at the Son of Heaven nervously.

Of course, the Son of Heaven can't accept Li Zhi's humility in this humble link, but what the Son of Heaven says is very important. If the Son of Heaven has a trace of dissatisfaction with Li Zhi in his words, there is no doubt that the civil officials will rush up to attack Li Zhi and incite the Son of Heaven to transfer troops to fight against Li Zhi.

Of course, if the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied, Li Zhi will also be wary after returning to Tianjin. The Son of Heaven crusaded against Li Zhi, who was strong and strong, and he could only rely on Wenchen to mobilize the power of the gentry in the world. In this way, not only will Li Zhi no longer encroach on the interests of the gentry a little, but the imperial power will be weakened again. Such a situation is what the civilian officials desperately want to see.

Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, laughed, as if he didn't see the prying eyes of the civil officials, and said: "Although Li Qing is in the suburbs of Beijing, he is responding to the righteous indignation of the 160,000 border troops to crusade against the traitorous ministers. If it weren't for Li Qing's advice, I wouldn't have known the depth of Wu Fu and the others' calamity to the country and the people. Now that the traitors have been removed, justice has been upheld. The 160,000 border troops returned to their original places, and they were all loyal, what was Li Qing's crime? The Duke of Jinguo, you can't go unsealed! ”

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, the officials glanced at each other and were very disappointed.

The Son of Heaven was not at all dissatisfied with Li Zhi. Is the Son of Heaven afraid of forcing Li Zhi to rebel? Or is it really magnanimous to the good general of the national salvation?

Li Zhi's face was overjoyed, and he arched his hand and said: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers are ordered!" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said loudly: "Li Zhi, I have named you the Duke of Jinguo as 'Fengtian Yiyun Tuicheng', hereditary replacement." ”

"Minister Li Zhi is hereby ordered, and the minister is willing to defend the emperor and the Ming Dynasty with his meager strength!"

The crown prince Zhu Cihong walked out and handed over the canonization edict and the Guogong iron coupon to Li Zhi in person.

The producer read aloud: "Li Zhi's wife, Li Cui's, is cautious and respectful, and can be the Duchess of the Kingdom, and Li Zhi's mother, Li Zheng, is respectful and prudent, and is kind to the Duchess of Taiguo!" ”

More than a dozen eunuchs came out and handed over the complicated guard of honor and official uniforms to Li Zhi. Li Zhi accepted them one by one and put them on the tray of the eunuch behind him.

After being busy for half an hour, a set of etiquette was all completed, and the producer shouted loudly: "The ceremony is over!" Tsukoku Gong thanks! ”

Li Zhi fell to his knees and sang loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

All the officials in the palace knelt down in unison and sang in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The thousands of officials outside the hall all knelt down and sang in unison with a long voice: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Thousands of officials chanted, and the chorus soared into the sky and spread for miles.

While the officials kneeling on the ground were worshipping, the Son of Heaven stood up, withdrew from the Imperial Palace, and went to the Qianqing Palace behind the palace.

The officials of Honglu Temple shook their whips and sang loudly: "The ceremony has been completed, and the hundred officials have retreated!" ”

Li Zhi: This is officially sealed. He got up and was about to put on his official uniform, when he saw an unfamiliar figure come up to say hello.

"Fujian General Zheng Zhilong has seen the Duke of Jinguo!"

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard the name.

Li Zhi is now vigorously developing Taiwan and developing the navy, and of course he knows Zheng Zhilong's name. Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate and became the overlord of the East Asian seas at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and had the dominant force on the seas of East Asia. Zheng Zhilong once defeated the Dutch fleet, and he was the father of Zheng Chenggong, who seized Taiwan in history.

By the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong had actually seized a province of Fujian. Fujian's large and small military affairs, without Zheng Zhilong's orders, the Son of Heaven could not be dispatched. At the end of last year, the Son of Heaven wanted to send Zheng Zhilong's troops and horses to aid Liaodong, but Zheng Zhilong did not listen to the order at all, and Lai remained motionless in Fujian.

If Li Zhi, a warlord, is still fighting for the south and north of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong is purely encroaching on the princes of Fujian.

Of course, a warlord like Zheng Zhilong would not collect taxes from the gentry, and would not arouse the opposition of the gentry in the world.

Li Zhi looked at Zheng Zhilong and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zheng Zongbing from Fujian, I have admired him for a long time!" ”

Hearing the word Jiu Yang, Zheng Zhilong was very proud, raised his head and laughed. He stretched out his hand and patted Li Zhi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Jin Guogong's industry in Xiaoliuqiu has developed very rapidly?" ”

Li Zhi saw Zheng Zhilong's frivolous behavior, knowing that the person who came was not good, and asked lightly, "What does Zheng Zongbing mean?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "How about the small Liuqiu industry of Jinguo Gong, how about Zheng Zhilong also participate in it?" ”

Li Zhi didn't know how Zheng Zhilong wanted to participate in the shares, but the reclamation of Hsinchu was profitable, and how to participate in the shares was all Li Zhi's concessions. Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Now that the industry is still small, I won't recruit Zheng Zongbing." ”

Zheng Zhilong looked Li Zhi up and down, and said, "Presumably, the Duke of Jin also knows that Zheng Zhilong also has a dock in Xiaoliuqiu. It's just that the people who immigrated to Xiaoliuqiu were either attacked by Shengfan, or they fled back to Fujian because they were not adapted to the water and soil, and the scale of the wharf was not large. ”

"And Jin Guogong's water conservancy equipment is KitKat, I heard that there are already 100,000 people in Hsinchu."

"Zheng Zhilong has 5,000 warships, and he knows the danger of the sea best. The Duke of Jin did not allow Zheng Zhilong to participate in the immigration cause of Xiaoliuqiu, but he should pay attention to the wind and waves at sea. ”

Zheng Zhilong's words were a bit threatening.

Li Zhi glanced at Zheng Zhilong coldly, didn't bother to say more to this pirate, and walked out of the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Youzhen took Wang Chengen back to the Qianqing Palace, speechless all the way.

Wang Chengen looked at the face of the Son of Heaven and asked, "Holy Lord, Li Zhi actually dares to talk about the military advice when he is knighted!" Holy Lord, why don't you take the opportunity to scold him and let him know Tianwei! ”

Zhu Youzhen took a breath helplessly, shook his head and said, "Don't blame Li Zhi!" If he feels that I hate him and is on guard, the situation will be very bad! ”
