This decree. That's a lot of the above. than before. Naturally, it's a lot more. After all, the war is over now. There's a lot to be said.

The first. Needless to say. Naturally, it is necessary to commend Zhang Fan and Liu Xian who pacified this rebellion. and the sergeants under Liu Xian. Speaking of which. This time around. It went really well. Do you still remember what reason Zhang Fan came to Sichuan in the first place? It's not because of that. Do you doubt Liu Xian's big victory after the servant's conquest?

This time, however. The people in the DPRK did not have the slightest suspicion. Maybe better than people don't know. But Feng Bao and the others understand very well. The reason why this time was so smoothly commended at the level. It's not because Liu Xian is really acting beautifully this time. There was no big fight. It stopped this time. Not because of this. The main reason. That's because Zhang Fan is involved in it.

I still remember the decree from before. That is, the one that ordered Zhang Fan and Liu Xian to quell the rebellion. That's right. Counterinsurgency. Naturally, the army had to be dispatched. And the army. Naturally, it refers to Liu Xian's men. Ultimately. That's the basics. If there were no Liu Xian and his soldiers and horses. This time around. Want to fix it so quickly. It's almost impossible. No matter how many and best schemes you come up with. But there is no strength to implement it. It's all empty words.

But. That's not the point of the decree. The point is that Zhang Fan is in it. Moreover, Zhang Fan is also the main general who presided over this counterinsurgency event. Even if he was a civil official. But the previous decree was already clearly written. Everything is defined by Zhang Fan and Liu Xian. If there is a dispute between the two parties. Zhang Fan's proposition shall prevail. Other words. Liu Xian also wants to listen to Zhang Fan.

And Zhang Fan presided. It is also the reason why this holy decree was so easily praised. After all, Zhang Fan's current identity. Plus those relationships he has in the capital. Definitely not to be underestimated. Not to mention that Empress Dowager Li is now favored and relied on Zhang Fan. Even if it's just about Zhang Fan's personal relationship in the court. Let's say Zhang Juzheng. It's just that. It is already to make the proposal of the imperial court unconsciously biased towards Zhang Fan.

Of course. For this kind of thing. Liu Xian also understands. And. After he understood. If only he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with this kind of thing in his heart. It's also impossible. As a matter of fact. Before this decree came. Liu Xian thought about this matter. And what he came up with. It is also written in accordance with the Holy Decree. Not much different.

Liu Xian for this kind of thing. Naturally, he was dissatisfied. It's not that he complains about Zhang Fan so much. Actually because. These two things. It's all his work. But for the first time. The DPRK and China did not believe his good news. And this time. It's because of Zhang Fan's participation. The imperial court believed it so easily. It really made him feel very unfair.

But about it. Liu Xian didn't say much. He thought of these. But he also understood. How deep the water is. If you have to figure it out. I'm afraid I'll have to put himself in it. Liu Xian as a military general. Naturally, it is flesh and blood. But after so many years. He's learned something, too. Everything is too much. I'm definitely going to be unlucky.

Fortunately, the ending is very good. Case. There's not so much to worry about.

This time on the Holy Decree. Although it has already affirmed the merits of the two. But there wasn't any real bounty yet. Zhang Fan is easy to say. After the matter on his side is over. Return to the capital. Naturally, those rewards are indispensable.

But Liu Xian is a little different. The matter of the servant before. Although it caused a lot of trouble. But in the end. Because of Zhang Fan's playing. The imperial court also agreed with the statement of the great victory.

Now that I have agreed. Then things like rewards are naturally indispensable. But. There was no time for the court to discuss how to reward Liu Xian. There was such a thing in Yongning Mansion. And because of this. For Liu Xian's reward. It was postponed.

And now. The matter of Yongning Mansion is over. And Liu Xian is not the one who presides over this matter. But after all, he has made a great contribution. So short. No. It's not too short. After all, two things count. It's been almost a year since then. But. After all, Liu Xian has made two real contributions. How exactly should the reward be awarded? I'm afraid it will also make it difficult for those in the court.

But. This thing. It made Zhang Fan think about a question.

He'd been wondering before. Why was it written in the previous decree? It's for him to preside over the overall situation of this matter. And not directly use Liu Xian. Although Zhang Fan is also a person who has been on the battlefield several times. But after all, he is still a civil official at heart. Even if he is in charge of Jinyiwei, it is still the same. And there is such a thing as dominating the battle. Naturally, it should be handed over to the military generals.

Just like last time. Although it is said that the matter was handled by Liu Xian and Zeng Xingwu at the same time. And speaking of it. Zeng Xingwu was also like Zhang Fan's role in this matter. But at the time. Obviously, he has handed over all the power to Liu Xian.

Why this time. But let Zhang Fan preside over it. If it's a eunuch. Although Zhang Fan will feel inappropriate in his heart. But I don't think there's anything wrong with it. But now. But it was him.

And this decree came at once. Zhang Fan immediately understood. The reason why the imperial court decided this way. In fact, it is because of Liu Xian. After all, the servant's conquest was a great victory. And that's just in the past. The DPRK has not yet decided how to reward Liu Xian. And at this juncture. This is what happened this time.

It's not that the imperial court is too confident. It's just obvious. Just let Liu Xian go to quell the rebellion. That would definitely settle the matter. Other words. Liu Xian's two major contributions. It's definitely going to be able to get it.

Until that time. I really don't know how to reward Liu Xian to be appropriate. in order to satisfy Liu Xian. It will not cause displeasure among other generals.

And if Zhang Fan is allowed to preside over this matter. Then the war will be over. Although Liu Xian still has merit. But after all, Zhang Fan is above him. And so it goes. Reward Liu Xian's words. It's easier to do.

Zhang Fan thought of this. But that's not all. He also discovered what kind of identity he is in the DPRK now.

At the very least. He who gave the decree. It wasn't Zhang Juzheng's idea. That's what Empress Dowager Li herself thinks. But it doesn't matter which one of them arranges it. is obviously very relieved of Zhang Fan.

After all. The Ming Dynasty has seen it for a hundred years. Both internally and externally. So many battles have been fought. There are many wins. There were also many defeats. And in the midst of defeat. How many of them are caused by the blind command of the-stirring stick who doesn't know anything about warfare. This is something that everyone in the DPRK and China knows.

But even so. Whether it's Zhang Juzheng. Or Empress Dowager Li. still handed over such a task to Zhang Fan. Visible. They know Zhang Fan very well at the same time. It is also very trusting.

Don't say anything else. At least that's the case. This already made Zhang Fan happy in his heart. In his current status. and the power in hand. Better. It's already hard to get to the top. But there is more power in comparison. Be able to gain more trust. That's what Zhang Fan wants most.

After all, now. Zhang Fan has entered the very center of the power of the Ming Dynasty. To know. As the saying goes, "a companion is like a tiger". It seems to be a calm now. But as long as there is a slight difference in the pool. That's going to be shattered. Not even a bit of residue remained. At such a time. Gain more people's trust. Obviously, it is better to give Zhang Fan any reward. For him, it should also be more practical.

And these. It's only the first half of this decree. What's next. But it is more reflective of the trust in Zhang Fan.

the lives of those 20,000. It's already said above. As long as they didn't slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty. The court would not have killed them. But. Capital offenses are avoidable. There is no escaping the sin of life. Wanted not to punish them. It's absolutely impossible.

And the punishment given by the DPRK and China. But it's not lightweight. What is it. Break these people apart. Dispatched to serve at the border gates. Although it's not for them to be cannon fodder. But what a place is the border gate. Zhang Fan's heart is the clearest. This is not a death sentence. But it's equivalent to sending them to death.

But it is also said in the holy decree. You can let them bring their families with them.

But Zhang Fan knew in his heart. It says ten years. Not to mention ten years later. How much more will these people survive? Even if they survived. I'm afraid 10 years have been spent over there. They may not come back.

It's just that. These are not what Zhang Fan cares about. And as for those who are willing or not. Now I can't help them.

Other than that. The decree also said how to deal with this matter. This is the one that best reflects Zhang Fan's current status. How exactly should this matter be handled. The imperial court was all handed over to Zhang Fan. Other words. Here's the thing. It's all up to Zhang Fan to have the final say. He said what to do. So what to do.

Originally. Zhang Fan did that before. But he wasn't completely unworried. But now. But he didn't worry at all. Since it's all up to him. That's for the best. And. He's actually done it all.

Other words. Zhang Fan is now able to return to the capital.

Of course. There are other things that have not been done here. He can't go back yet.

But. The decree is read though it has been finished. It's not over.
