199 On the reward of meritorious deeds

In the early years of Chongzhen, the knighthoods were as few as before, which could be envied. Unlike the last years of Chongzhen, or the Southern Ming Dynasty, at that time, as long as there was a little military power in his hands, he basically had a title, just like a brick smashed on the street in later generations, and it was basically as common as what manager was smashed.

Many generals saw that Man Gui had been given the title of Loyal and Brave Uncle, and their hearts moved, and they also knew that the generals were going to be knighted, and there was no other possibility except for military merits!

But after weighing it in his heart, he found that unless he made great contributions when His Majesty personally conquered Liaodong, there was little hope of being knighted. And this, it seems to be an impossible task, and I can't help but feel a little depressed! In this way, I am even more envious of Man Gui.

At this time, the full laurel was rewarded. Wang Dehua picked up another holy decree from the front of the palace, took a few steps forward, and shouted sharply: "Zu Dashou is out to receive the decree!" ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he immediately became nervous, and at the same time a little worried, after all, he had done something wrong. But at this time, it was useless to think about anything, so I had to go out and kneel down to receive the order.

“…… Zu Dashou escaped from the battle, and he should have been severely punished......"

Hearing the definition of himself as escaping from the battle in the holy decree, this is a big crime for the general, which makes Zu Dashou "chuckle" in his heart, should the emperor settle accounts after the autumn? For a moment, he suddenly became nervous, could it be that Sun Ge Lao was also coaxing himself, and he was just calming and stabilizing himself before?

Ma Shilong listened very happily, let you be in front, it is best that the emperor can settle accounts after the autumn, and then Guan Ningjun will have less of you, so that the court will have to use itself.

However, Wang Dehua's voice in a frustrated voice immediately took a turn, and he only heard him read out: "But this move is secretly in line with my intentions, and it has not caused serious consequences by luring Jianlu to attack the Beijing Division." And Zu Dashou did not live up to his intentions, and he was brave and brave, and made great achievements in Changli. I also have the people in mind, and send troops in time to rescue the people of Yongping, and I am very comforted......"

When he heard this, it was Ma Shilong's turn to "chuckle" in his heart. From the holy decree, it seems that in the eyes of the emperor, among the merits of Zu Dashou, the merits of rescuing the people of Yongping are still above the merits of the Battle of Changli! Doesn't that mean that you have missed an opportunity to make a great contribution? Or if you didn't do that, will it make the emperor feel disappointed?

"I also speak my word, and the crime of escaping from the battle that day can be avoided, and I am specially transferred to the position of the governor of the Left Army, and I also serve as the chief teacher of the Beijing Senior Lecture Hall, Qin this!"

When they heard this, everyone was stunned. Immediately, many people gloated, especially Ma Shilong, who was secretly happy in his heart!

There is no other reason, although Zu Dashou was promoted from a second-grade military general to a first-class military general, but he was previously the chief soldier of the Liaodong Forward, and the seal of the general of the Liao Frontier was a person with real power to lead the troops. Now he has become the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and his grade has been upgraded, but he is a Qingshui Yamen, and he has no real power. This is the rise of the light and the descent of the dark, and there will be no merit in the future, and the road of the military general will come to an end.

Of course, there are also people who are stunned when they hear this from the head teacher of the Jingshi Senior Lecture Martial Arts Hall, I don't know what the hell this is, I have never heard of it?

As for Zu Dashou himself, he was also there for a while, he instinctively wanted to refuse, wanting to say that he was guilty and did not dare to accept this credit. After all, there is no real power, not only is it not meritorious, but it is also very detrimental to the family.

When he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered Sun Chengzong's exhortation: "The emperor is different from the past, he must not have other thoughts, remember to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country!" ”

Could it be that the elder of the pavilion knew about today's events for a long time, and was afraid that he would do something, so he warned him in advance? But this bright rise and dark fall, do you just admit it?

Although he was really a little unwilling to lose his real power from now on, with Sun Chengzong's repeated warnings, and he was already in the Jinluan Palace at this time, he couldn't do anything else, and he only relied on verbal justification, and it seemed impossible for the emperor to change his mind. Thinking so, Zu Dashou had no choice but to admit it, and Shanhu Long Live accepted the order.

During this period, he didn't even think about what the hell was the chief teacher of the Jingshi Senior Martial Arts Hall? Because I've never heard of this thing at all, it's just a casual official title to comfort him.

Hu Guang was also secretly observing Zu Dashou, and he keenly saw that Zu Dashou was hesitant, but in the end, Zu Dashou still accepted the order without saying anything, but also let him nod, the one who knows the times is Junjie!

After Zu Dashou returned to the queue, Wang Dehua shouted screamed again: "Lu Xiangsheng is out of the column to receive the order!" ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's eyes were focused on the civil official queue, and at this time, there was little jealousy in their eyes, and most of them were admiration. After all, he is just a civilian official, but he leads the army to fight, and fights with Jianyu without falling behind. It can even be said that the battle of Changli can annihilate the entire army of Jianyu, and the first credit is in Lu Xiangsheng.

“…… Tejia Feng Lu Xiang was promoted to the imperial history of the left capital, the governor Denglai, and the remaining Qinwang army led by him was reorganized into a guard battalion, and the list of positions was submitted to the military department. ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised. jumped from the prefect to a feudal official, crossed the provincial three divisions, and was the governor of the imperial history of the left capital, which is very high. It seems that this Lu Xiangsheng is a red man in the eyes of His Majesty.

Another point, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, is still different, the emperor specially ordered the remaining Qinwang army to be reorganized into a guard battalion, which is all official titles, and it can be regarded as a gift.

After Lu Xiangsheng thanked him and returned to the queue, He Kegang was promoted to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, which was regarded as taking over the vacancy left by Zu Dashou's transfer.

This made Ma Shilong stunned, to put it mildly, he is the chief soldier of Shanxi, and it is the most likely thing to be transferred to be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, how can he be occupied? Faintly, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

If it had changed before, there should have been civil officials who would come out to speak for themselves at this time, such as the former first assistant Han Yi, or the left capital imperial history Cao Yubian. Even if they don't come out to speak, there will always be someone who can come out of the imperial historian who is standing in front of them.

But now, for various reasons, which allies of the DPRK and China are either idle at home, beheaded in public, or imprisoned for their crimes. Even the Governor of the Ministry of Households, Kuraba Sun Juxiang, who is currently fine, was just sent to Tongzhou to check the grain. I didn't think anything before, but when I looked at it now, Ma Shilong suddenly felt that this would be too much of a coincidence?

It should be a coincidence, if you really want to talk about it, Zu Dashou was promoted, and his deputy took over the position, which seems to be reasonable. Ma Shilong stood in the crowd, bowing his head and frowning to explain himself.

At this time, the junior officers of the Qinwang Army, under the leadership of the captain of the Jinyi Guard, drove into the city in groups and came to Tiananmen Square along the street.
