Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Reward of the Marquis of Wu
Seeing Mu Xia suddenly have a headache and fall to the ground, buddy, I became nervous all of a sudden.
I immediately picked her up and asked her what was wrong.
As a result, she was so painful that she couldn't even speak, so I had to call someone to pass on the imperial doctor, and then tell Li Dingguo and them to wait, and I came over immediately.
After speaking, I hugged Mu Xia and returned to the bedroom.
The imperial doctor helped Mu Xia take her pulse again, and found that her pulse was extremely stable, and she couldn't see that she looked like she was poisoned.
Even so, Mu Xia still had a headache and her face turned pale.
Dude, I really can't help it, so I can only ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some pain-relieving decoction for her first, let her rest and rest, and wait for me to deal with the matter of surrender, and then make further diagnosis.
After explaining the imperial doctor, I left the dormitory and returned to the main hall again.
After returning to the main hall, I cheered up and asked Sun Kewang what the specific conditions were.
Sun Kewang pondered for a while and said, "The emperor is so refreshing, my Sun Kewang is not verbose." First of all, although Zhang Xianzhong is not benevolent to politics, he must have nurtured the three brothers. Although the three brothers agreed to surrender to the imperial court, I hope that the emperor can send the body of my father-in-law back to his ancestral home for a good burial! ”
To tell the truth, if he put forward this condition, if he were replaced by another monarch, he would never agree.
Because a scumbag like Zhang Xianzhong, who not only killed innocent people, but also rebelled against the imperial court, he should not be buried in any dynasty.
But in order to recruit his three brothers and let them truly return to me, I can only promise Sun Kewang and send someone to send Zhang Xianzhong's body back to his hometown Yan'an.
After talking about the burial, Sun Kewang said again: "Although my three brothers surrendered to the imperial court, no matter what, the emperor, you are the father-killing enemy of the three of us." Although my second and third brothers don't care about this matter, my grandson can hope that he can't forget this feud for the time being. And now the Ming Dynasty is divided, the emperor is in charge of Fuzhou, and Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, is in Kunming to supervise the country. In this way, it is difficult for the people of the world to distinguish who is the right master. And the emperor has a grudge against me for killing my father, so I can't obey the emperor's command, so I can only obey the orders of Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui. If the emperor can agree to this, my grandson will definitely serve the country with his body! ”
Damn, what Sun Kewang is thinking about is really fucking complicated.
Because of the revenge of killing my father, I didn't want to obey my orders directly, and I wanted to mess with Zhu Youlang. What else are you talking about with me, now there are two imperial courts in the Ming Dynasty.
I don't understand what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, but I thought about it for a while, if I don't agree to his condition, he will definitely not surrender, and it will also affect Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu.
Besides, whether he obeys my orders or follows Zhu Youlang, he is actually serving the imperial court.
And Zhu Youlang is that kind of waste, Lao Tzu will abolish him sooner or later, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, I said: "Guiwang Zhu Youlang and I are originally a family, General Sun, it doesn't matter if you are willing to obey anyone's orders, as long as you contribute to the imperial court, I can give you this head!" ”
"Good! Since the emperor said so, then my grandson Kewang will not say much. But there is another point, since ancient times, people who have been sincere have been rewarded for meritorious deeds, although the three brothers have no merit to the court before, but now that they have surrendered to the court, I hope that the emperor can face the three of me squarely, and don't treat the three of me as grass cowards! ”
The meaning of his words is actually very simple, that is, he wants me to reward the three brothers, so that they can have an official status in the court and not be looked down upon by others.
Actually, I thought about this long before they surrendered.
Tiger generals like them who can fight well, buddy, how can I be stingy with rewards.
I smiled and said, "What General Sun said is extremely true. If you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, of course I will reward you for your deeds. But now there is no royal palace in Chengdu, and it is difficult to perform the etiquette of rewarding, and I am worried about neglecting the three! ”
I don't say this to delay them, but there is a problem.
Because there were a lot of rules for rewards in ancient times, and if you didn't follow those rules, some people would have opinions about you and think that you were disrespectful.
"Your Majesty, the three of my brothers are all from reckless backgrounds and don't know any etiquette, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about it!"
"Well, tomorrow morning, I will give you three rewards at the Wuhou Temple!"
"Emperor Xie!" The three of them said in unison.
And the reason why I want to set the location of the reward at the Wuhou Temple is actually for a purpose.
Because Wuhou Temple is the only ancestral temple in China where monarchs and ministers are buried together.
Buried in it are Liu Bei, the emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang, the first loyal minister of the ages.
At that time, Zhuge Liang's White Emperor entrusted Gu, swore allegiance to Shu Han, assisted Liu Bei's youngest son Adou, and did his best to fight in the south and the north.
After his death, the queen Liu Chan buried him next to Liu Bei, in order to fiercely punish those virtuous ministers and good generals who were loyal to the imperial court.
So it is only fitting to reward the three of them in a place with a special meaning.
After talking to Sun Kewang and the three of them, I returned to Mu Xia's bedroom.
At this time, Mu Xia had already woken up, and she looked no different from before, the whole person was very energetic, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.
Although there are no signs of poisoning, buddy I am still very worried, but the number of imperial doctors in the army is too small to diagnose whether she is poisoned or not.
So I could only ask the imperial doctor to give her some decoction of solid Peiyuan, thinking that after returning to Fuzhou, I would let the most brilliant doctor in the court diagnose her.
……
Early the next morning, under the escort of everyone, I came to the place of reward-Wuhou Temple!
Not long after, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu also came.
After coming to the Wuhou Temple, I did not immediately reward the three of them, but took the three of them around the ancestral hall and looked at the "Longzhong Pair" and "Teacher Table" left by Zhuge Liang together.
After reading it, I said to the three of them: "Zhuge Kongming swore allegiance to Uncle Liu Huang back then, although the Northern Expedition failed in the end, but his loyalty and courage reflected the sun and moon for thousands of years. I hope that the three of you will follow the example of the past and be faithful to your country. ”
After hearing this, the three of them immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The ministers must be loyal to the court, and Kuang Fu Sheji!" ”
After saying this, I led the three of them to the tomb where Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were buried together, and then lit high incense and worshipped.
After the worship, I told the three of them about the joint burial of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and the three of them were full of emotion after hearing it, and they were even more determined to be loyal to the court.
Finally, I led the three of them to the hall in the center of the ancestral hall and began to reward them.
I said solemnly: "Sun Kewang listens to the seal!" I named you as the chief soldier of Zhejiang, the official residence is the third product, and the garrison is Quzhou. ”
The reason why he was named the king of Wu was to let him stay in Zhejiang. On the one hand, it is convenient for my management, and I don't want him to follow Zhu Youlang to stay in Yunnan; On the other hand, I want him to be closer to me, so that he can lead the Northern Expedition at any time!
Sun Kewang looked at me and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
After Sun Kewang finished speaking, I said to Li Dingguo again: "Li Dingguo listens to the seal!" I named you as the deputy chief soldier of Fujian, the deputy third rank of the official residence, and the garrison of Fuzhou! ”
Li Dingguo knelt on the ground and said firmly: "The ministers should not dishonor the emperor's grace, invade the thieves in the Northern Expedition, and eliminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" ”
After Li Dingguo finished speaking, his buddy was very excited. Because of the three, he has the highest military talent. And the loyalty he showed was the strongest.
After sealing Li Dingguo, I said again: "Liu Wenxiu listens to the seal!" I named you as the deputy chief soldier of Sichuan, the deputy third rank of the official residence, and the garrison of Chengdu."
The reason why I want to keep Liu Wenxiu in Sichuan is actually for two reasons: first, I am a little worried about the invasion of Tibet; Second, after Sichuan stabilized, let him set off from Chongqing to the east, and unite with Jiangxi defender Zuo Liangyu to encircle and suppress the army in Hubei.
"Long live the minister!" After Li Dingguo finished speaking, tears of emotion were about to flow out.
After rewarding the three of them, I began my own strategic deployment, preparing to return to Fuzhou to start the Northern Expedition.
So I asked Liu Wenxiu to take 40,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Sichuan; Let Li Dingguo bring 100,000 soldiers and horses to Fujian with me; Let Sun Kewang lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to aid Zhejiang.
After the deployment, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu both agreed with my approach, but Sun Kewang disagreed.
Sun Kewang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I said before that I would obey the orders of King Gui Zhu Youlang, so I think my top priority is to take the army to Yunnan first and discuss with King Gui how to go next!" ”
Nima, after hearing this, buddy, I was embarrassed.
When Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu saw this, they persuaded Sun Kewang and told him to obey my command, but he just didn't buy it.
I thought to myself that he must still hate me for killing Zhang Xianzhong, and he didn't want to obey me immediately, so I wanted to go to Zhu Youlang to see what Zhu Youlang's attitude was.
And I didn't worry about Zhu Youlang at all, I felt that I would influence Sun Kewang sooner or later, so I agreed to his request.
