Chapter 70: Reward
Inside the Eternal Longevity Palace. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoEmperor Jiajing sat upright on the dragon chair.
Cabinet chief assistant Zhai Luan, second assistant Yan Song, and more than a dozen officials are standing with their heads bowed.
Emperor Jiajing handed Lu Fang a book of recitals and asked Lu Fang to read it to the ministers.
Lu Fang took the fold and read aloud: "Zhao Wenhua, the governor of Zhejiang, Yan Ping, the political envoy, and Tang Xiaojiang, the envoy of the inspection, will knock the first and win, and Taizhou will win a great victory against the Japanese!" Chen Di, the prefect of Taizhou, personally led the Taizhou regiment to train more than 2,000 new troops, and beheaded 3,000 and 12 in Taizhou Haicheng Port. Only five people were killed or wounded in the Taizhou regiment training! This is a rare victory since the invasion of Zhejiang! Chen Di, the prefect of Taizhou, is a young talent, strategizing, and winning the sea frontier, which is actually the first hero of this victory! In addition, Yu Dayou, the commander of the Taizhou regiment, Tang Shunzhi, the commander, and Qi Jiguang, the commander, assisted Chen Di wholeheartedly, and worked hard to do things, and they also had merit! The ministers and the other three jointly named Chen Di, the prefect of Taizhou, and Yu, Tang, and Qi to ask for meritγγγγγγ β
Yan Song was overjoyed when he heard this. Chen Di, the righteous son, he Yan Cifu is really right! The righteous son has made great contributions, and the face of the righteous father also shines. What's more, Chen Di became the prefect of Taizhou, and the people who demolished him before and after gave him thirty or forty thousand taels of silver. has such a righteous son who can do things and can do things, Yan Song really likes it!
Zhai Luan listened to the twist, but his heart was like eating a fly. Originally, he wanted to put Chen Di in Taizhou, where the widows were rampant, to endure hardships. Originally, he Zhai Shoufu planned to make Chen Di cowardly, but he didn't expect people to show their faces.
However, Yan Song and Zhai Luan both had a doubt.
Governors Zhao Wenhua and Chen Di are both strict parties, and it is understandable to praise him and ask for credit for him. Why did Yan Ping, the political envoy, and Tang Xiaojiang, the envoy of the procuratorate, want to sign a joint name? You must know that these two people are hardcore Zhai Dang. Between the Yan Party and the Zhai Party, there has always been the same situation. It is truly unprecedented for people from both parties to take credit for the same person.
Zhai Luan made the roots of his two proud angry teeth itch.
How could Yan Song and Zhai Luan know that Chen Di had already pinched Zhao Wenhua, Yan Ping, and Tang Xiaojiang. Although these three people are Futai, Fantai, and Zhentai in Zhejiang, they have become Chen Di's puppets at this moment!
After listening to the recital, Emperor Jiajing said loudly: "What is a talent!" Chen Di is a talent! In Henan, he cured disasters and famines, and rehabilitated the people. When I arrived in Zhejiang, I was able to fight against the Japanese and raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty! If I remember correctly, since I ascended the throne, the Ming army has never had a great victory in annihilating thousands of Japanese invaders! β
Yan Song was a master among the masters, he knelt down and said: "This Taizhou victory is all thanks to the emperor's proper use of people, Chen Di's good command, and the soldiers' lives!" The emperor's prestige is far and wide, and he thinks that the few widows will be exterminated sooner or later! β
Several other officials chimed in.
Zhai Luan was confused at the moment. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were praising Chen Di, and he felt that he had lost face, so he actually said: "The emperor is a clear guide." The Ming army has Shen Ke, that is, to risk merit to receive rewards, and even some border troops have the evil deeds of killing good and risking merit. Chen Di is a fourteen-year-old boy who doesn't know much about the art of war. Taizhou regimental training is a new army. The Zhejiang Weisuo army fought with the Japanese for more than ten years, but did not achieve any decent results, and the Taizhou regiment killed 3,000 enemies as soon as it came up, among themγγγγγ Something must be strange! β
Emperor Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at Zhai Luan: "Zhai Shoufu, Zhejiang's political envoy Yan Ping and press envoy Tang Xiaojiang are your disciples, right?" Do you mean that your protΓ©gΓ© deceived me? β
Everyone in the world thinks that Emperor Jiajing is obsessed with alchemy and cultivation, but they don't know that Emperor Jiajing is well versed in the way of emperors! He has not been in court for decades, but he can dominate the ministers and let the civil and military officials revolve around him, can you say that he is a faint king?
A seemingly confused person is actually more sober than anyone else!
Emperor Jiajing knows better than anyone that Yan Song is greedy for money and Zhai Luan is famous. And Chen Di, a fourteen-year-old young prefect, is a rare talent!
Zhai Luan listened to Emperor Jiajing's words, no longer spoke, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Emperor Jiajing asked Yan Song: "Yan Cifu, Chen Di led the army to behead 3,000 Japanese invaders, according to the regulations of the Ministry of War, what kind of reward should be given?" β
Yan Song said: "If you kill three thousand enemies, you should be awarded General Zhaoyong." β
Emperor Jiajing said: "General Zhaoyong? In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 10,000 noble descendants on the list of Zongren's Mansion. Many noble descendants who do not do things and eat their ancestors' meritorious deeds can be awarded General Zhaoyong. If I had given Chen Di a Zhaoyong general, wouldn't it have wiped out his miraculous achievements in resisting the Japanese? β
Yan Song said: "This is not considered by the minister enough. Life has never surpassed the emperor, and please ask the emperor to make it clear, how to reward Chen Di? β
Emperor Jiajing said: "I have long said that everything is not broken and cannot be established. The Ming Dynasty is scattered, and the generals are divided into six ranks. I am on the first rank, plus a general Zhenhai. This Zhenhai general is specially awarded to Chen Di alone! β
Yan Song said: "The emperor is famous. In addition, Yu Dayou, the commander of the Taizhou regiment, Tang Shunzhi, the commander, and Qi Jiguang, the commander, also have military exploits, and they don't know how to reward them? β
Emperor Jiajing asked, "I don't know much about these three people. β
After Chen Di's victory in Haicheng Port, he immediately sent someone to send Yan Song a letter and 30,000 taels of silver tickets. In the letter, he specially asked Yan Song to speak for Yu Dayou, Tang Shunzhi, and Qi Jiguang in front of the emperor.
Yan Song accepted the money, how could he not do something? He said, "Your Majesty." Yu Dayou, the commander of Taizhou regimental training, has been in the army for more than ten years. Fujian fought against the Japanese, Shanxi against the Tatars, and now under Chen Di against the Japanese in Zhejiang. Although this man is dull by nature, he is extremely brave and fierce, and he is a tiger general. The commander of the Taizhou regiment training is the same as Tang Shunzhi, and at this moment he is also the commander of the Taizhou Guard! This person is from the head of the Ministry of War, and he is quite strategic! In addition, Qi Jiguang, the commander of Taizhou, is the hero of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was only seventeen years old, he never rested on the merits of his ancestors and ate the merits of his ancestorsγγγγγγ β
Emperor Jiajing said: "Okay! Under General Zhenhai, General Pinghai was set up and Yu Dayou was awarded! General Pinghai set up General Jinghai and awarded Tang Shunzhi! General Jinghai set up a general to protect the sea, and awarded Qi Jiguang! β
The ministers knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live.
Father-in-law Lu Fang and Father-in-law Lu suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, in addition to the merits of this Chen Di Chen, this Lord Chen Di Chen has another merit. β
Emperor Jiajing said: "Oh? What else does he do? β
Gonggong Lu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Di recently captured a white deer. This white deer is a rare auspicious rui! Chen Di has sent Bailu to Beijing! β
Emperor Jiajing liked Taoism. The white deer is the first Rui beast in Taoism! Emperor Jiajing hurriedly asked, "Where is this auspicious rui now?" β
Lu Gong said fairly: "Now outside the gate of Yongshou Palace!" β
Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed and said: "Quickly welcome Xiangrui into the palace." I want to bet with all Aiqing on the true face of Xiangrui! β
Lu Fang went down, and after a while, he led a white deer to the hall.
The ministers were amazed. Jiajing Emperor Long Yan Dayue.
Yan Song continued to pat himself on the ass: "Enlighten the emperor, auspicious rain from the sky is auspicious to the emperor, it is the emperor's blessing to respect the heavens and love the people!" β
Emperor Jiajing said a word, and the ministers were shocked.
"Actually, the auspicious gift given to me by God, where is the white deer? The real auspiciousness given to me by God is Chen Di, a young talent! β
