Chapter 773: Retreat is Advance

The most important thing is that if Emperor Zhengde passes smoothly, then the next reward for Zhang Zhijie will be much easier! Since Emperor Zhengde himself admitted that Zhang Zhijie was not the first merit, the first merit was Emperor Zhengde himself, who rewarded the country, then Zhang Zhijie's reward should not be too grand!

Seeing that Yang Tinghe had already agreed, Li Dongyang did not object again, Emperor Zhengde was very happy in his heart, he thought that he would have to talk about it, but he didn't expect Yang Tinghe to be so happy this time! This made Emperor Zhengde somewhat satisfied.

However, when Emperor Zhengde's eyes refocused on the song, his brows furrowed again, and there were not many rewards for Zhang Zhijie on it! On this expedition, Zhang Zhijie has really made a great contribution, and he knows this very well in his heart! In fact, he thought in his heart that it was for Shouning Hou to ascend to the throne!

But looking at what is written on this fold, the most solemn reward in it is nothing more than the Katarpo! Emperor Zhengde felt a little lighter when he saw it!

In fact, if you really want to think about it, it's not light, the last time the rebellion in Bazhou was quelled, the Hou Mansion was directly given a golden book and iron coupon, which is beyond the specifications of the reward!

This time, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe thought about it for a long time with a headache, and had to give this reward, in fact, they were very depressed in their hearts, Sangong, this is the dream of many civil officials in their lives! In this way, Zhang Zhijie got it at a weak age of less than twenty, and what is even more troublesome is that the emperor will feel that the reward is too light!

Now seeing Emperor Zhengde frowning, Li Dongyang has already calmed down and put aside the nonsense of Emperor Zhengde just now, and is ready to fight for it!

At this time, Yang Tinghe's mind changed, and he decided to strike first, and said with a smile: "The emperor thinks that Zhang Zhijie's reward is a little inappropriate?" ”

Hey, today's Yang Tinghe actually got the hang of it, not only happily agreed to the reward of Zhenguo Gong, but also took the initiative to admit that the reward for Zhang Zhijie was inappropriate! It's so worry-free! Emperor Zhengde nodded with some satisfaction, and was just about to say that the reward for Zhang Zhijie was too light, and he had to add it up again!

Yang Tinghe took a step forward and said: "The ministers also feel that Zhang Zhijie's reward is inappropriate, because the ministers have not considered it, and they have not taken into account that the emperor is the first credit for quelling the rebellion, so Zhang Zhijie is listed as the first merit, and this reward is indeed a bit too grand!" ”

Li Dongyang couldn't help but secretly praise Yang Tinghe's wit when he heard it, this trick is indeed very clever.

Emperor Zhengde was stunned after hearing this, this was completely different from what he thought, he felt that Zhang Zhijie's reward was too light, but he didn't think that Zhang Zhijie's reward was too heavy! Moreover, in fact, he also understood in his heart that the first contribution to quelling the chaos this time was actually Zhang Zhijie!

But now that Yang Tinghe said this, it's really hard to refute! Emperor Zhengde himself said that the first credit is himself, and now it is impossible to regret slapping himself in the face, right?

"Well, although I am the first meritorious, Zhang Zhijie's merits are only slightly inferior to me, and his reward can be imitated by me!" Emperor Zhengde waved his hand.

Emulate Emperor Zhengde's reward? Does it mean to give Shouning Hou Jin the title of the prince? Are you kidding? It's absolutely impossible!

"Your Majesty, how is this possible? It is impossible to seal the Guogong in the rebellion of Pingyi Province, let alone promote two Guogong! Your Majesty, this will cause a lot of discussion among the government and the public! Your Majesty, this is harming Zhang Zhijie, how will others talk about him behind him? Li Dongyang said in a deep voice.

"Huh! What's there to talk about about here? Zhang Zhijie has indeed made great contributions! "In fact, Emperor Zhengde is also a little lacking in confidence here, he already knew in his heart that it would be very difficult to make Shouning Hou Jin a hereditary prince, not to mention that there was an extra variable of himself!

"Your Majesty, this move must not be done! The ministers also knew the emperor's love for Zhang Zhijie, but this move was really not a good thing for Zhang Zhang Zhijie! Besides, he is still so young, it is not appropriate to pull out the seedlings to help him! Yang Tinghe followed with bitter persuasion.

Emperor Zhengde also understood that this was not feasible, and said helplessly: "However, this time the Quelling Chaos Festival is indeed a great achievement, such a reward is indeed lower, I can't neglect my heroes!" ”

In fact, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe also understood in their hearts that although Emperor Zhengde kept saying that he was the first person to quell the chaos, and they also kept admitting that it was Emperor Zhengde's first merit, but they were actually like a mirror in their hearts, and this time the rebellion was Zhang Zhijie's first merit!

But this reward is really not light, Li Dongyang persuaded in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you think that the reward is still light, then it is better to do this, the emperor will reward more grange tributes and the like!" ”

In Li Dongyang's opinion, anyway, Zhang Zhijie has made a glass mirror and has really earned a lot of silver for Emperor Zhengde over the years, and now Emperor Zhengde will reward Zhang Zhijie more, it's nothing, don't you have a good relationship?

Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "These rewards are naturally more!" Well, let's do it, let Zhang Zhijie take charge of the Governor's Mansion of the First Army! ”

Less than twenty years old, he was in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the First Army, which is unprecedented! Li Dongyang's heart was stunned when he heard this, and when he was about to continue to persuade him, Yang Tinghe had already pulled Li Dongyang, and then said with a smile: "The emperor's words are reasonable, since this is the case, then it should be settled!" ”

I didn't expect Yang Tinghe to agree so happily, Emperor Zhengde immediately breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he was still very reluctant in his heart, if he hadn't forcibly asked for a reward from the Duke of Zhenguo, Zhang Zhijie's reward should still be able to go further! So he felt a little ashamed of Zhang Zhijie in his heart, in fact, he was thinking too much, even if he didn't have his nonsense request, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe would stick to the bottom line!

Because he felt a little guilty in his heart, Emperor Zhengde immediately asked the little eunuch to summon Zhang Zhijie into the palace after Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe went out.

After Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe went out, Li Dongyang frowned a little and said: "Jiefu, it's just that you promised the emperor the reward of the Zhenguo Gong, although some nonsense is harmless and you can retreat as advance, but you are a little hasty about the reward of Zhang Zhijie's military governor's mansion!" ”

"Pavilion Elder, this is a mistake, Pavilion Elder thinks about it carefully, how can Zhang Zhijie really take charge of the First Army Governor's Mansion?" Yang Tinghe was not angry in the face of Li Dongyang's questioning, and said with a smile.

Li Dongyang is not an idle person, but he didn't think so much for a while, at this time, after listening to Yang Tinghe's words, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized, yes, how could Zhang Zhijie be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the First Army!

Therefore, Zhang Zhijie will definitely push this reward away, so it seems that Yang Tinghe is actually right to promise the emperor this reward, if the dispute continues at that time, there will definitely be another wave!
