Text Chapter 786 Meritorious Building

(Thank you book friend "Titan Six" for cheering!) )

After the marquis, they were the counts, and they were also the largest group of people, and these counts, like the dukes and counts, were also divided into civil and military.

The first person on Wenchen's side is Chen Zilong, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, although he is the first person to be an earl, Chen Zilong is very dissatisfied in his heart. The reason is very simple, if you follow Zhu Hongsan for a long time, he should be second only to the four great strategists. Chen Zilong recognized Zhu Hongsan in Wuchang, Huguang, and was very respected by Zhu Hongsan, so he should be listed as the first marquis in the ranking, far before Gong Dacheng.

If calculated according to the official position, Chen Zilong is a scholar, and Gong Dacheng is just a political envoy, and the political envoy can be a marquis, so he should at least be a marquis. Just when there was a rumor in the court that the emperor was going to be knighted, Chen Zilong was definitely a marquis himself, but he knew that he was only an earl in the end, or a liujue, and he had not eaten yet.

Chen Zilong immediately went to find Ma Mingyuan after getting the news, although Chen Zilong didn't value this kind of knighthood, but he didn't fight for what he deserved, isn't it a little stupid!

Ma Mingyuan saw the angry Chen Zilong, and after listening to his statement, he gave a reasonable explanation. The reason is very simple, although Chen Zilong knew the emperor as early as Wuchang, but you did not stay when the emperor kept you, but returned to Nanzhili to study for the imperial examination, and when he officially joined the Zhu Hongsan group, Zhu Hongsan was already in charge of the country.

Chen Zilong only came to Guangzhou in the second year of Hongguang with the defeated Lu King Zhu Yihai, what else do you want for this kind of qualification? This kind of truth is like everyone is a cadre in the Jinggangshan period and the Red Army period, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he is naturally a marshal and general, and you are a cadre during the War of Resistance Against Japan, it would be good to give you a major general, what else do you need a bicycle?

At the same time, Ma Mingyuan also buckled the basin on Tong Yangjia's head, and now Ma Mingyuan is not a man of words in the cabinet, and there is also a-stirring stick Tong Yangjia. Tong Tuchang, the nephew of Tong Yangjia, is a cadre in Jinggangshan, and he followed His Majesty the Emperor as early as Wuchang.

Chen Zilong couldn't help it when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this, Ma Mingyuan was right, according to his qualifications, Tong Tuchang was much stronger than Chen Zilong, and his military merits were much more than Chen Zilong. Fujian plotted against Li Chengdong and led a team to the north to negotiate peace with the Manchus, this kind of credit is not at all comparable to Chen Zilong, a rear official, so Chen Zilong accepted his fate after thinking about it.

Standing next to Chen Zilong is the unlucky guy Tong Tuchang, in fact, according to Tong Tuchang's merits, he can be crowned a marquis, but Tong Yangjia already has a duke and two marquis in the system, and it is really inappropriate to have one more marquis, so Tong Yangjia suppressed his nephew to accept this earl. Tong Tuchang had no choice but to accept the reality, but Tong Tuchang was still sulky.

On the civil official side, the earl has no heavyweights except for these two, and the rest are some low-level officials in Dongguan back then. Qian Qianyi and other surrendering officials are not among the knights at all, no matter what your relationship and position are, if there is a stain, there is no hope at all.

The generals who were named earls here were all some soldiers who followed Zhu Hongsan back then, and after more than ten years of war, they all grew into middle-level officers. But there is another big man among the military generals and earls, that is, Jiang Pengju, the commander of the second division.

Jiang Pengju was born in the second batch of teaching teams, and he is still the backbone of the teaching team, and his current official position is division commander, so he must be a marquis. At first, Jiang Pengju also thought so, the duke didn't dare to be delusional, the marquis was absolutely fine.

But waiting for the news to be announced, Jiang Pengju was dumbfounded, all those with the same qualifications as him were marquises, and he was named an earl alone. When Jiang Pengju saw the news, he immediately went to find his eldest brother Zhao Guodong, and he knew that Jiang Pengju was scolded by Zhao Guodong before he could speak.

The reason why Jiang Pengju was not made a marquis is very simple, you made mistakes back then. The thing is that Jiang Pengju raped the little widow in Nanzhili back then, but now it has become a crime. You Jiang Pengju used to be awesome, what kind of teaching team background, served as a guard for His Majesty the Emperor, and was still fighting in Xinyang City. But you were only a company commander at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, and according to this seniority, you Jiang Pengju was a bit high to be made an earl, and it would be good to give you an honorary position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu according to the meaning of the cabinet. In the end, it was the emperor who saw Jiang Pengju's great merit, so he promoted Jiang Pengju to earl.

Jiang Pengju knew that it was the stinky old nine in the cabinet who made it bad, so he scolded Ma Mingyuan angrily, and stood up and was about to go to Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin, to help talk. Knowing that Jiang Pengju was just about to leave, he was pulled by Zhao Guodong and gave him two mouths anyway.

Zhao Guodong's reason is very simple, now that King Qin himself is difficult to protect, what are you going to add to the chaos? Don't go back to being your earl.

Jiang Pengju left Zhao Guodong's mansion full of anger, stood on the street Jiang Pengju swore that he must be a duke in the future, and let those stinky old nine see that Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian! What Jiang Pengju didn't know was that his confidence would bring big trouble to Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin, in the future.

Jiang Pengju had no choice but to be an earl honestly, but he was really angry in his heart, glanced at a regiment commander on the side, and scolded in a low voice: "Your mother, what are you, stay away from Lao Tzu!" ”

The regiment commander knew why Jiang Pengju was angry, and he didn't come to provoke him, so he moved his position to the side and stayed away from Jiang Pengju, the unlucky ghost.

These one hundred and seven people stood outside the noon gate and waited for the ceremony to begin, the time passed quickly, the sun rose after a while, and then the noon gate was opened, and the ceremonial procession composed of three thousand Han generals came out and stood at the door. Li Chengen, the chief eunuch in the palace, was the host today, and he first stood at the door to read the holy decree of Emperor Zhu Hongsan, and then shouted "The ceremony begins!" ”

The procession of one hundred and seven men was divided into nine columns, each led by a duke, and entered through the noon gate.

For today's ceremony, Zhu Hongsan spent a lot of money to renovate the imperial city of Beijing, and the Fengtian Palace, which was the first of the three major halls, was also repainted, and it was secretly festive inside and out.

Today, because it is a ceremony, only the emperor can walk the Fengtian Gate is open today, and the emperor has issued a special decree to let these heroes enter through the main gate of Fengtianmen.

Entering the Fengtian Gate is the square in front of the Fengtian Palace, which is also the largest square in the palace city. One hundred and seven heroes, led by the nine dukes, went down the stairs and stood here solemnly, waiting for the emperor's decree.

At this time, the eunuch Li Chengen came out again, and after reciting a holy decree to sacrifice to the heavens, the next step was to canonize the holy decree.

The first decree was to canonize the nine dukes, and when everyone heard that Ma Mingyuan was given 10,000 households, they were all envious, jealous and hateful, ten thousand households! There are few in Chinese history!

The second decree is the canonization of the marquis, the third is the canonization of the earl, and the last is the canonization of other honorary positions, such as the governor of the Jinyi Guard, the Jinyi Guard, the Jinyi Guard, and so on.

After each recitation of the holy decree, the meritorious person whose name was read should kneel down to give thanks, then accept the holy decree and the iron coupon, and finally follow the ceremonial officer into the Fengtian Temple. More than 100 people tossed and turned, and it was already noon.

After the holy decree was read, Zhu Hongsan looked at these people standing in the main hall, eighty percent of them followed him from Huguang, looking at the familiar face Zhu Hongsan was really imaginative!

Back then, Zhu Hongsan crossed over to just a remote clan that his grandmother didn't love his uncle, and his only role was to eat and wait for death, but fortunately, he knew the historical trend of this country, so he could organize a team to escape and ascend to heaven in Wuchang. Originally, Zhu Hongsan didn't have any ambitions, he just wanted to organize his own army, and he really couldn't escape to Nanyang. But who thought that the ancestors blessed him, in the end, he actually succeeded, occupied Beijing, expelled the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and became the Zhongxing Mingjun.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan said with emotion: "I started the army from Wuchang, there were only hundreds of people at that time, and I didn't expect to make such a big career at that time!" At that time, I wanted to live, and I could live one day at a time! If someone had told me at that time that you could occupy Beijing and become the master of Zhongxing in the future, I would have beaten that guy to half-body! ”

Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, the people below laughed, and the civil officials said that they were all intellectuals, just smiling. But the generals are different, these guys were either bandits or homeless people who went south, the best ones were local homesteaders in Wuchang, and a few were gangsters in Wuchang County. What culture do they have?

Now listening to the emperor say this, a few guys with big butts and big hearts grinned and said: "Your Majesty, don't say that Your Majesty didn't expect it, and we didn't expect it!" When I was old. At the end of that year, they will just be displaced people who go south, and they can't eat enough, can they think that in more than ten years, they can also tear the soil and seal the marquis like Xu Da and Chang Yuchun? ”

This guy is open-mouthed, which makes Wenchen look sideways one by one, but Emperor Zhu Hongsan likes to listen to it very much.

"You're right, I didn't expect it back then, and you didn't expect it! Lao Tzu can have this foundation today, and your credit accounts for most of it! Therefore, Lao Tzu hopes that you will not learn from the heroes and nobles of the previous dynasty, but must pass on the bravery, if there is any war in the future, you are still needed, or your descendants will fight for me! ”

When the civil officials heard the emperor say this, they bowed down one by one and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely bow down and die!" Live up to Your Majesty's grace! ”

Those generals did not have such a high level of education, and shouted one by one: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there will be a war in that place in the future, as long as our old guys live for one day, we will rush to the front line, even if we all die, and our sons and grandsons will continue to die for Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing these people say this, Zhu Hongsan was very happy in his heart, stood up and said, "Okay! I promise you! As long as you live up to me, I will live up to you! You and your children will be fellow initiates with the kingdom! Lee Seung-eun! Pass the decree and build a hero building in the Wuying Palace, and hang the portraits of me and my one hundred and seven heroes inside, so that my descendants can remember that they can have the emperor to do all these heroes, and don't forget their roots! ”()
