Nanjing, in the imperial study room of the Ming Emperor's Palace.

Listening to what Liu Zongzhou said, Zhu Youxiang showed a displeased expression, brushed his sleeves and said: "Liu Qing, Shi Kefa is an important minister of the dynasty and a cabinet elder, how could he do something that lies about the military situation and deceives the monarch?" ”

Liu Zongzhou raised his hand and pinched his chin that was almost dislocated in shock, and said: "The old minister is guilty, and he was too surprised, please forgive your majesty for the crime of gaffe." ”

Zhang Shenyan, the official secretary, the scholar of Wenhua Palace, and the imperial history of the right capital, stroked his beard and said: "Master Shi's character is very well understood by the ministers, even if his head can be broken and bleeding can be shed, and he will die in Yangzhou City, he will never lie about the military situation and deceive the king." ”

Gao Hongtu, a scholar of the Ministry of Household and Wenyuan Pavilion, hugged the wat board and said with a puzzled expression: "How did Master Shi and a scholar defeat Duoduo with only a few thousand people?" It's incredible! ”

Ma Shiying has been silent, quickly read the recital handed by the emperor, and then handed it to Lu Jiude with both hands, holding the wat board and bowing in the direction of Xiaoling: "It turned out that it was the manifestation of Taizu, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were blessed, and the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty was finally saved!" ”

"Master Ma, tell me what's going on?"

Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu, Liu Zongzhou and other three ministers were puzzled and asked Ma Shiying in unison.

Listening to Ma Shiying's finished talking about the content of the recital, although Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu, and Liu Zongzhou were half-convinced about Taizu's dream, who would dare to question these old oilmen who had been immersed in officialdom for many years?

Immediately, he brushed his hand in the direction of the southeast filial piety tomb: "It turned out to be the manifestation of Taizu, the heaven-sent chariot, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty is expected!" ”

Ma Shiying grimaced, and said with a serious face: "It's not just Taizu's manifestation, this Lin Zhenjiang said that all the other emperors, including Chengzu, have appeared together, so that this invincible ironclad chariot can be born, help me to recreate slaves in the Ming Dynasty, and thwart Duoduo, a dog thief!" ”

Listening to several cabinet ministers praising the emperor together, Zhu Youxiang was quite unhappy in his heart.

The co-authorship and victory are all the credit of the ancestors, and they have nothing to do with the current emperor? This is not good, I have to pull the topic back and put gold on my face.

Zhu Youxiang straightened his body, coughed and said: "Of course, it is Taizu's dream, and the first emperors have appeared, but the biggest credit is still due to Shi Kefa's planning, Lin Zhenjiang is brave, they are all my good ministers!" ”

Liu Zongzhou was the first to comprehend, and hurriedly saluted: "Of course, Your Majesty sits in Nanjing, stabilizes the morale of the army, and has the approval of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty before the artifact can be born. ”

"Huh...... Liu Qing's words are wrong! ”

was slapped by the courtiers, Zhu Youxiang was in a good mood, stroked his beard and said, "If you want to talk about merit, I also have a point, I think the biggest credit is to know people and be good at their duties, and appointed Shi Ge Lao to go to Yangzhou to sit in the town, so that today's great victory ......"

Zhu Youxiang became more and more energetic, stroking the table with both hands, foaming at the mouth, and boasting: "Just like Liu Bang said, I am not as good as Shi Qing in terms of using soldiers, and I am not as good as Lin Qing in terms of killing the enemy, but I have the wisdom to know people...... It's like Liu Bei is just a mat weaver, but with Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others, he can make a lot of points with Cao Agui, I feel that I have some similarities with them! ”

Among the four cabinet ministers present, Zhang Shenyan was the oldest, approaching 70 years old at this time, and successively served as an official in the Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen dynasties. And Zhang Shenyan is upright, and he has long been unaccustomed to Zhu Youxiang's style, and he can't help but scold himself in his heart when he hears the words at this moment.

"Phew...... How can you, a gentleman of the royal family, be compared with Liu Bang and Liu Bei? If it weren't for the light of your life experience, where would you be worthy of being ranked in the Ninety-Five? Not to mention that compared with Liu Bang and Liu Bei, you are also very inferior to the two emperors Xizong and Sizong! ”

"The thieves broke through Beijing, and Si Zong was still able to die and die for the country, but it's good for you, before the army of the Tartars arrived in Yangzhou City, I heard that you ordered the palace maid to pack up the soft and prepare to flee, and at this moment Tian shamelessly came out to take credit?"

The more Zhang Shenyan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "I knew that this Fu King was a Liu Adou who couldn't be supported, and I should have listened to Shi Kefa's words and succeeded King Lu to the throne and supervise the country." ”

Seeing Zhang Shenyan's unkind face, Zhu Youxiang was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly said haha: "Haha...... I'm just joking, how can I dare to compare with Han Gaozu and Emperor Zhaolie? The biggest credit is naturally Shi Qing and Lin Qing, and they must be rewarded this time, a big reward! ”

Zhu Youxiang rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and said in a loud voice: "This...... I think that Shi and Lin should all be promoted to the third level to show their grace and reward their merits. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Ma Shiying stood up and reminded, "Master Shi is already a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Jianji Palace, and a governor of Yangzhou, and he is the second grade of the dynasty, so why not be promoted to the third level in a row......"

Zhu Youxiang also realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly changed his words: "What I said is that Lin Zhenjiang was promoted to three levels in a row, and Shi Aiqing gave him the lord." ”

Ma Shiying smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The greatest credit for Yangzhou's victory is Lin Zhenjiang, and the Shi Pavilion Department only needs a little reward, and this Lin Zhenjiang is far from enough to be promoted to three levels in a row!" ”

Ma Shiying finally climbed to the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and the biggest competitor is Shi Kefa, so naturally he will not let Shi Kefa become an official and climb on his head.

The lesser of two evils, although he knew that Lin Yu was Shi Kefa's nephew and son-in-law, between the two, Ma Shiying would rather choose to give Lin Yu an official and a knight. He is now just a deputy garrison from the sixth rank, and even if he is promoted to the fifth level, he is only the fourth rank.

Zhang Shenyan stroked his gray beard and said: "What Master Ma said is extremely true, this Lin Zhenjiang has made such great achievements, and his position is so low, even a promotion of three levels is not enough to show his merits. ”

"What official position does this Lin Zhenjiang live in now?" Zhu Youxiang touched the bridge of his nose and asked stupidly.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Lin Zhenjiang is now the deputy garrison of Yangzhou." Ma Shiying bowed and replied.

Zhu Youxiang frowned: "How many rank officials is the deputy guard?" How many levels lower than a few Aiqing? ”

Zhang Shenyan snorted in his heart, and Shi Li said: "The deputy guard is from the sixth grade, and everyone present is a member of the second grade, how many levels does Your Majesty think it is lower?" ”

Zhu Youxiang stroked his beard and said: "It seems that Lin Zhenjiang's official position is indeed very low, this time he has made such a great contribution, how do you think Aiqing should be rewarded?" ”

Zhang Shenyan is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of official promotions, personnel assessments, although Lin Yu is a military attaché, but the Ministry of Officials also has the right to ask, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhenjiang has made earth-shattering achievements, and the ministers think that they should at least be promoted to the third grade, right?" ”

"High, high!"

As soon as Zhang Shenyan's words fell, Ma Shiying immediately stood up against it, "Lin Zhenjiang's contribution is certainly great enough, but from the sixth grade to the third grade, he has been promoted to seven levels in a row, this is an unprecedented miracle!" ”

Zhang Shenyan snorted coldly: "Kelin Zhenjiang alone broke the Jiannu, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and beheaded the Manchu Qing Baylor, such a miraculous feat is also unprecedented." ”

Zhu Youxiang twisted his beard and was silent, and his eyes swept to Gao Hongtu and Liu Zong: "How do you think the two Aiqing should reward Lin Zhenjiang?" ”
