In fact, Zhang Zhijie's guess was not wrong, Emperor Zhengde summoned Zhang Zhijie into the palace for the sake of reward! Today, Li Dongyang and Yang Ting, two scholars, summed up the rewards for this expedition and sent them to the Imperial Palace!

Emperor Zhengde opened the recital presented by the two scholars, and frowned at the first glance, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe below were already mentally prepared, and their hearts still jumped, as the biggest hero of this expedition, the first reward was Zhang Zhijie's!

But about Zhang Zhijie's reward, the two scholars really have a headache for a long time, even now! Now seeing Emperor Zhengde frowning, the two of them understand in their hearts that Emperor Zhengde must be unhappy again!

They are also mentally prepared for this, this time the reward for Zhang Zhijie is not heavy, mainly because Zhang Zhijie is really too young, not yet twenty years old! The government also gave the golden book and iron coupon because of the merit, and the reward last time was really heavy! But the queen mother was helpless, and the emperor insisted, and finally they compromised!

So the two scholars were ready to argue on their own merits, but Emperor Zhengde's words were beyond their expectations! They even said that they never dreamed of it!

Emperor Zhengde frowned and said: "How can the work of quelling the chaos this time be the first to know the festival?" Although Zhijie also has great merit, I feel that it is still slightly inferior to one person! ”

Three battles will determine the situation, and the king of Ning will be captured in one fell swoop! There is nothing wrong with Zhang Zhijie's first achievement! Although the two scholars wanted to suppress Zhang Zhijie's reward, they were not so bad as to reverse black and white and deny Zhang Zhijie's credit!

But Emperor Zhengde's words confused the two scholars, according to common sense, even if it is not Zhang Zhijie's first merit, Emperor Zhengde will say that it is Zhang Zhijie's first merit, why is it like this now? Obviously it was Zhang Zhijie's first credit, but Emperor Zhengde vetoed it? Could it be that Zhang Zhijie sneaked away during the celebration banquet that day, which made Emperor Zhengde feel unhappy?

Li Dongyang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although Wang Shouren and Wu Wending also have great achievements, the ministers think that they are still inferior to Zhang Zhijie!" "In Li Dongyang's mind, only Zhang Zhijie, Wu Wending, and Wang Shouren are the most prominent, since the emperor thinks that Zhang Zhijie is not the first credit, then it can only be Wu Wending or Wang Shouren!

Emperor Zhengde shook his head when he heard this, "Of course, isn't this obvious?" ”

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe were stunned after listening to it, what is going on? Since the emperor also thinks that Wang Shouren and Wu Wending's merits are not as good as Zhang Zhijie, then apart from the two of them, other people's merits are even worse than Zhang Zhijie! Is there any war report that they don't know?

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe looked at each other, and Yang Tinghe asked helplessly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers and others for being stupid, I really can't think of anyone whose credit is greater than Zhang Zhijie's?" ”

Emperor Zhengde said helplessly: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”

Li Dongyang was stunned and said: "Emperor, do you mean the emperor?" ”

"That's right! Isn't my credit great? Emperor Zhengde asked.

"The emperor's personal expedition put down the rebellion of King Ning in one fell swoop, which is naturally a great achievement!" Yang Tinghe reacted and immediately replied.

Emperor Zhengde nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Since I am the first meritorious, why is there no reward from me on it?" ”

Even Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, no matter how calm they were, were immediately stunned when they heard this! How can anyone who is an emperor still have to be rewarded?! You are the emperor, you are already the boss of the world, only you have to reward others, what more rewards do you want? Who can reward you?

"Your Majesty, you are naturally a great meritorious, but you are the emperor, how can you be confused with your courtiers! Emperor Taizong made several expeditions to the desert back then, and didn't he have any rewards for his great achievements? Your Majesty, there is no such precedent! Li Dongyang came back to his senses and said bitterly.

"Why is there no precedent? I am a precedent! Zhijie once said that there is no road in this world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road! I'll be the first to walk! Emperor Zhengde said firmly.

What a mess this is! Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you are already the supreme in the world, rich in the four seas, under the whole world, all are the king's land, and within the four seas, all are the king's ministers, and there is nothing to reward?" ”

The two scholars are puzzled, you are both emperors, what else is there to reward?

"That won't do! Since I am the first meritorious, I naturally want to be rewarded! Otherwise, reward Zhu Shou as the prince of Zhenguo! Emperor Zhengde shook his head.

What a mess this is, Li Dongyang also knows that Emperor Zhengde often calls himself Zhu Shou in private, and he also gives himself the title of Zhenguo Gong, Mighty General and the like, and they are also jokes of Emperor Zhengde.

But now it's different, the will of this reward is to be spread to the world, plus Zhu Shou is the prince of Zhenguo, what is this?! Isn't that a joke?

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate!" Li Dongyang said in a deep voice, "This is not in accordance with the rules at all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he seal the town of the country?" Isn't this self-deprecation? This is unprecedented! ”

"Why can't it be?! I have obviously made a contribution, why is there no reward? When I say that there is a reward, there is a reward! "Emperor Zhengde cut the railway.

Although he said that he was the Duke of Zhenguo and that he was the Duke of Zhenguo, Liu Ji did not take the previous things seriously after knowing that he was the emperor, but Emperor Zhengde still wanted to make the identity of the Duke of Zhenguo clear to the world!

In the face of Emperor Zhengde's nonsense, Li Dongyang still had to be persuaded again, and at this time, Yang Tinghe suddenly pulled Li Dongyang and interrupted Li Dongyang, who was brewing to continue admonishing.

Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "What the emperor said is also reasonable, since this is the case, then the ministers will add the emperor's meaning!" ”

Li Dongyang didn't expect Yang Tinghe to agree happily. In fact, it can be seen from here that the difference between Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe is coming! Yang Tinghe is more lively than Li Dongyang, because Yang Tinghe has already seen it!

Emperor Zhengde is determined to reward himself, and it is difficult for them to beat Emperor Zhengde! Moreover, although Yang Tinghe also felt that this move was a bit nonsense, it actually had no impact on the original! You said that Emperor Feng Zhengde is a prince of the town, what impact can he have on the court and the world?

It doesn't matter at all! In that case, why do you have to keep arguing with Emperor Zhengde? On the contrary, what if this prince was not the Zhengde Emperor who was rewarded, but was rewarded to Zhang Zhijie?

This is something that Yang Tinghe absolutely does not want to see! So in comparison, it is still a reward to Emperor Zhengde to save trouble, although there is some nonsense, but it has no impact at all!
