It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, as soon as you look at it, he is suddenly stupid there.

Although Chen Shigong was old, he still remembered very clearly that the emperor sitting on it smiling at him was not the young man who had been to his own village and talked to him for a long time!

By the way, who said that there is Jinyiwei next to him, then he must be Jinyiwei's person? He can also be the master of the brocade guard!

When Chen Shigong thought of this, he couldn't help but blame himself secretly, why was he so old and dizzy at the beginning, he couldn't even recognize the true dragon emperor when he arrived in front of him!

While he was thinking, one of the chamberlains had brought a round stool wrapped in silk to him and motioned for him to take a seat.

Chen Shigong came back to his senses and immediately thanked him excitedly. At this time, he was very glad that he agreed to the emperor's request and became the leader of this matter!

Next, there is nothing to say, after all, the "mastermind" behind this matter is the emperor sitting on the throne. According to the script, Emperor Chongzhen asked about the situation, and Chen Shigong stated. In the end, Emperor Chongzhen said that he had a specialization in the art industry, and sent the imperial doctor to come and ask about the situation in public, and the result was naturally self-evident, and the matter was like this, and Emperor Chongzhen decided on the spot.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen say solemnly to Shoufu Wen Tiren: "Since this matter is true, it is related to the future of my Ming Dynasty, and we must immediately correct the bad habits of the past!" Wen Qing, led by the cabinet and written by the Criminal Department, revised the "Da Ming Law" and wrote these contents into the "Da Ming Law". ”

In fact, although Wen Tiren didn't know what happened before, he knew about Emperor Chongzhen. After paying attention to this matter, thinking of the emperor's southern tour, I knew that behind this matter was actually the meaning of the emperor himself. Now that the momentum has been achieved, what else is there to say.

Thinking so, Wen Tiren stepped out and said, "Weichen leads the order!" ”

Faintly, he still had a feeling. The emperor's intention should have been there a long time ago. Because the emperor carried out the reform of the household registration system before, the marriage was also included in the jurisdiction of the government, and a marriage certificate was also issued. Only after the government registers and writes it into the new household registration information, the marriage of the Ming people can be regarded as protected by the government.

With this premise, in the future, local governments will act in accordance with the new "Daming Law", there will be rules to follow, and those below the legal age will not be handled, and it will naturally be able to restrict the people of the Ming Dynasty from marrying under the legal age.

Without this premise, even if there is a law, it will be difficult to enforce it.

Emperor Chongzhen then turned his head to look at Chen Shigong, and said enthusiastically: "The old man's incident this time is beneficial to the present generation, and the merit is in the future. For such a meritorious service, I will not hesitate to reward. That's good......"

He pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Chen Shigong listens to the seal! ”

Chen Shigong listened, was stunned for a moment, and then was overjoyed, and was about to kneel down to listen to the seal, but was stopped by Emperor Chongzhen, when he was old, he didn't have to kneel all the time. Chrysostom, and an earl smashed at Chen Shigong.

This reward immediately stunned everyone. They didn't expect that Chen Shigong would be able to get an earl with this, which was really surprising.

In the ranks of military generals, Zu Dashou stared at the decrepit Chen Shigong, and was very jealous in his heart. As a military general, he can't desire a knighthood, why was he obtained by an old man?

Unwilling, he immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks it's inappropriate!" ”

"Huh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his nostrils sounded, and he was obviously a little unhappy.

Zu Dashou heard it, but since he was already out of the ranks, he continued to play: "Your Majesty, the ancestral system, non-military merits cannot be knighted!" Dr. Chen didn't get a military merit ......"

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes swept over the ranks of military generals, and when he saw that many generals seemed to be a little impatient, he immediately interrupted Zu Dashou's words, and said in a cold voice: "Military merit knighthood, but also!" Then I ask you, can make the people of Daming in the future smarter and healthier, can benefit countless women in Daming, and let countless families avoid family ruin, is this credit big enough? I can clearly tell Qing that if the military exploits of a military general to expand the territory are compared to the countless merits of a doctor, I would rather not expand the territory! Moreover, I told Zu Qing that your family would also benefit from his proposal. So, can you understand? ”

The Emperor has made his words clear, and who can have any doubts?

If it was the original Emperor Chongzhen and had no prestige, then these generals might still want to argue. However, today's Emperor Chongzhen is so powerful that it is unprecedented. It is clear and unmistakable, who would dare to oppose it again. It doesn't mean that military merits can't be knighted in the future, this is the fundamental interest of those who use force. After the news of this incident spread, others would only say that Zu Dashou was stingy.

In the final analysis, the emperor's knighthood is only the emperor's family affair. Because the nobles and nobles with titles all go from the inner treasury, and do not go through the treasury. Whoever the emperor wants to be knighted, he can be knighted.

If you really talk about it, the words of military merit knighthood are untenable, as soon as the Ming Dynasty comes, relatives can be knighted, and the children of powerful ministers, such as Wei Zhongxian and the beauties of the Hakka family, have been knighted, but there is no good end.

The civil officials on the side are more willing for the emperor to open more knighthoods, so maybe when the emperor will be happy, and he will also give the civil officials a knighthood, wouldn't it be beautiful!

Therefore, Zu Dashou did not dare to argue anymore, and Nuo Nuo retreated.

Chen Shigong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the matter had been decided.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about him, and took advantage of this topic, and said solemnly to the ministers: "I'll talk about it again here, if someone has made an outstanding contribution to the Ming Dynasty, no matter what it is, I will not hesitate to reward the knight." If there is something I don't understand, I can give you a few examples. ”

As soon as they heard this, the civil and military officials, including those palace maids, couldn't help but prick up their ears and listened attentively.

"For example, if a child dies young, smallpox is a major culprit, if anyone can offer a good plan to the imperial court to solve the smallpox problem permanently, I will be knighted to thank you!"

Smallpox is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases, and it is very contagious. In ancient times, regardless of whether the emperor was a relative or a commoner beggar, they were all afraid of smallpox, because there was basically no solution.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, there has been a pox method, which is divided into two types: dry seedling method and water seedling method, which originated in the south of the Yangtze River during the Longqing period. However, both of these types of pox have great risks.

In the original history, even in the Manchu period, there was no good way. Among the emperors and grandsons of the Manchu emperors, many died of smallpox. During the same period, even in Europe, a large number of people died of smallpox every year.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen gave an example, taking smallpox, the infectious disease that the ancients feared the most, as an example.

It was not until the last years of the eighteenth century that the English physician Edward Jenner discovered the cure for smallpox.

In the main hall, after Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, no one refuted, but they were all stunned. I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen's words are very novel and unprecedented. A new way to knighthood unfolded before their eyes.

When they came back to their senses, the civil and military officials, the palace maids and others had to admit, or rather, they all longed for such a person to appear and solve this damn smallpox, so that themselves, as well as their children and grandchildren, would no longer be threatened by smallpox.

Under the silence in the main hall, suddenly Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, was the first to come out of the ranks, knelt down and played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty's sacred heart is benevolent, and it is really a blessing for all people!" ”

This movement brought the ministers back to their senses. Shoufu Wen Tiren slandered in his heart, you are an eggless person, you can always grab the first place when you take the lead.

Today's matter, if it spreads, if anyone opposes this kind of knighthood, they will definitely be scolded to death by the people outside, and even when they go home, they will be cold-faced by their families. Supporting this kind of knighthood is the most important opportunity to make a name for yourself, who can miss it?

Therefore, after Cao Huachun, Shoufu Wen Tiren and others, all of whom knelt down and followed: "Your Majesty's sacred heart is benevolent, and it is really a blessing for all people!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen had a serious face, but he continued: "There are other particularly harmful cases, such as the warm epidemic, whoever can solve it, I will be knighted." In the future, if there is a contribution that I will benefit from the thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty and the future generations of my Ming Dynasty, I will be knighted! ”

The warm plague, in fact, is the plague, and in Europe it is the Black Death, and this infectious disease is also very harmful. The demise of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, to a certain extent, was also due to the plague. At that time, when Li Zicheng led the army to attack the Beijing Division, it happened to be the plague outbreak of the Beijing Division, and almost all the soldiers defending the city were recruited. The Jingshi was unable to defend at all, so it was easily captured by Li Zicheng.

There is also a theory that Li Zicheng's army immediately fought with the Manchus, and fought a tough battle at Shanhaiguan, but then the army was defeated like a mountain, and there was no decent resistance at all. Could it be that Li Zicheng's other armies are all shit? Apparently not! But after Li Zicheng's army entered the Beijing Division, it was also infected with the plague, but it was still in the incubation period in the early stage, and it broke out later, which made Li Zicheng's army powerless to resist.

But the Manchu Qing Dynasty took shit luck, knowing this situation, they avoided the Beijing division and did not enter. By the time they entered Beijing, the weather had cooled down and the spread of plague had been reduced to a minimum.

Of course, these are all off-topic. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, seeing that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were lying there, simply did not do anything, and continued to say loudly: "The application of the steam engine, I believe that all the Qings are obvious to all, and the contribution to my Ming Dynasty is not insignificant. If this steam engine had been invented by someone else, I would have been knighted. ”

There is no way, the steam engine was invented by Emperor Chongzhen himself, can he still learn from Emperor Zhengde, make himself a general, and then lead the army to the battle, and give himself a knighthood to reward the invention of the steam engine?

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he looked at Wen Tiren and said: "Wen Qing, the cabinet will draft a decree to announce my intentions to the world, I am willing to be knighted, and I hope that all the people in the world will work together to make the greatest contribution to the strength of my Ming Dynasty, the wealth of my Ming Dynasty, and the health of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Wen Tiren responded loudly, I don't have to say anything, I must have a purpose. He was sure in his heart that the names of the people he intended would be handed down to future generations, and he decided to write it himself.

Then this matter is so decided, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the entire Jingshi will be a sensation again.

Originally, the people of Jingshi were idle and bored, and they were all concerned about Chen Shigong's public writing, and as soon as the news of the court meeting came out, they knew about it as soon as possible.

"Really? The imperial doctor is also sure that the emperor will approve it as soon as possible? Doesn't that mean that those things are true? ”

"If it's not true, how can all the famous doctors in the world have the same attitude? If it weren't true, no one would object to the Manchu Civil and Military Association? If it's not true, will the emperor approve me to do this in the future? ”

"Fortunately, my daughter hasn't gotten married yet, no, I have to go and tell my father-in-law that I want to postpone the marriage, I'm too young now!"

“……”

After knowing the results of the things they were concerned about, the subsequent news shocked them even more.

"What? The famous doctor Chen Shigong was knighted by the emperor? ”

"Nonsense, the news is true. At first, I didn't believe it, it was my family who said it himself, there would be no fake! ”

"Let me tell you, the emperor still said today, saying that if anyone can cure smallpox, fever and other diseases, he will definitely be knighted! By the way, there are other things, as long as we can make the people of the Ming Dynasty healthy, the merit is in the future, and the benefits are in the future generations, the emperor will be knighted. This matter, when we turn around, there will be a holy decree spread all over the world! ”

"Wow, knighthood, such a high reward? It's never been before, the emperor is really heartbroken for our Ming people! ”

"That's not it, look at it, the emperor's heart has always pretended to be us. It is really fortunate that we can meet such a good emperor in our lives! ”

“……”

All the people, after hearing the news, without exception, were grateful to the emperor for his benevolence, for the country and the people, and the emperor's prestige went to a higher level. At the same time, the temptation of knighthood also stimulated all the people. One by one, it's like chicken blood, and they all want to do something to come out, and they don't have to fight, and they can be knighted if they don't do it!

Such a glorious thing seems to be no longer far away from ordinary people!

And Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City, through the chat group, through the news of the factory guard, also knew about the situation outside. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly. He felt that Chen Shigong's example was not enough, and he wanted to set another example for the people of the world.

As the use of achievement points increased, his memory became better and better, and he recalled the things in the corners in the memories of later generations. For example, to prevent smallpox cowpox, although he didn't know that it was the discovery of British doctors, he read historical online articles in later generations, and there were books about cowpox.

In this matter, there is a lack of an executor!
