Regarding the issue of rewarding the meritorious officials who quelled the Extravagant Rebellion, Emperor Chongzhen only set a general plan.

In addition to the three finalized figures who were awarded to the Shijue, the rewards of other meritorious civil officials, military generals, Tusi, and soldiers were all assessed by Li Guoqi, Xu Guangqi, and Zhang Weixian.

In the next three days, Li Guowei and the other three people, together with the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, as well as the relevant personnel of the Military Aircraft Department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies that Zhang Weixian was in charge of at this time, in line with the principles set by the emperor that day, divided the meritorious personnel who participated in the pacification of the Extravagant Rebellion into five grades of military merit:

Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Yungui and the governor of Guizhou, Qin Liangyu, the Tusi of Shizhu, and Hou Liangzhu, the chief soldier of Sichuan, were the three special ranks;

discussed the hope of Lang Wu, the left attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, Xu Chengming, the general soldier of Guizhou, Lin Zhaoding, the general soldier of Yunnan, and the four people of Deng Xi's department, Hou Tianxi, who beheaded An Bangyan, were first-class;

Shi Yong'an, the Guizhou Inspector, Li Fengjie, the Governor of Guangxi, Luo Ganxiang, the Deputy General of Yunnan and Guizhou, Long Zaitian, the Deputy General of Yunnan, Liu Zhaoji, the Deputy Commander of Tiancewei, Qin Gongming, the Governor of Shizhu, the Governor of Baojing, Peng Chaozhu, the Wailang Chen Zizhuang of the Nanjing Military Department, Luo Jiuzhong, the Tusi of Shaxi, Deng Xi, the Deputy General of Sichuan, Wang Guozhen, the Deputy General of Guizhou, Zhao Guoxi, the General of Guizhou Jingying, Wang Jianguo, the General of the Beijing Camp of Nanjing, and Mo Keji and Wei Ang of the Guangxi Tusi were second-class.

Zheng Chaodong, Guizhou Counselor, Xu Ruke, Sichuan Politics, Liu Kexun, Deputy Envoy of Eastern Sichuan Military Garrison, Chen Xishao, Guizhou Duyun Prefect, Guizhou Counselor Liu Yangkun, Shizhutu Garrison Qin Kezhong, Yunnan Ami Tusi Reputation, Guizhou Lulu Tusi Long Jizhao, Shuixi City General An Long and his nephew An Shirong and other 89 people are third-class.

The rest of the soldiers from the conquest of Shuixi, all those who have been killed, are counted as beheaded, and the imperial court gives land as a reward, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Office selects land and grants land according to the number of beheadings.

Zhu Xieyuan was awarded the title of Marquis of Jing Nan with special military merits, exempted from the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and concurrently led the military affairs of Sichuan, Huguang, Guangxi and other places, and gave Zuo Zhuguo the post of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou with merit, and gave his old wife Zhuang a first-class wife, Zhu Zhaoning, the eldest son of the Shaoxing Mansion, and gave his second son, Zhu Shouyi, the supervisor of Nanjing Guozi, a general judge in Kaizhou, Guizhou.

Qin Liangyu was awarded the title of Marquis of Zhongwu with special military merits, and his descendants were hereditarily replaced, and he was given 1,000 hectares of land outside the water of the original An family, and the meritorious children of Shizhu Tusi were rewarded.

Hou Liangzhu was crowned Yi Bo with special military merits, and the left governor of the Left Army of Nanjing, and gave Hou Liangzhu a thousand hectares of luxury land and mountains and forests in Yongning, Yunlian, Lin Zhou and other places in the former Yongning Xuanfu Division, and gave Hou Liangzhu as the inheritance, and the descendants were hereditary.

Lang Wuzhiwang, the left attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, was promoted to the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department with first-class military merits.

Guizhou General Xu Chengming with first-class military merits, gave the general Pingman seal envelope number, gave his eldest son Xu Duzhong Jinyiwei hereditary position of a thousand households, and gave the water Xi'an Tusi mountains and forests of a thousand hectares, forever for the world.

Lin Zhaoding, the chief military officer of Yunnan, gave General Xuanwei the seal envelope with first-class military merits, changed Yizhou to Xuanwei Mansion, and gave Xuanwei and Wusa 1,000 hectares of land, which will always be the world's inheritance.

As for Hou Tianxi, a young man who was rated as a first-class military merit for beheading An Bangyan, because his credit was attributed to his father Hou Liangzhu, in the plan agreed upon by Li Guowei and others, he was only given a reward as a hereditary commander of Yongning.

In addition to these people, other meritorious civil and military generals have also been specifically promoted or rewarded one by one.

The weight of the reward for quelling the rebellion of luxury this time was unprecedented in the previous rebellions of the Ming Dynasty to quell the Tusi in the southwest.

Three days later, Emperor Chongzhen got the edict of reward drafted by the cabinet and the military aircraft department, and saw that Li Guoyi and others did uphold their own intentions, so they were basically satisfied with the arrangement of this reward, and only made some adjustments to some specific details.

In the past three days, in the process of the cabinet formulating the court's will to reward the court, Emperor Chongzhen's intention to reward Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Liangyu as marquis, and Hou Liangzhu as his uncle, finally spread among the courtiers.

And the consequences of spreading the word were immediately apparent.

In addition to the congratulatory voices of the emperor's relatives, close courtiers and concubines in the harem, as well as some courtiers who wrote books to praise the merits and virtues, praising the reigning thief chief of the Holy Son of Heaven of Emperor Chongzhen, and Xian'an of the four seas, there are also a number of imperial histories of the Imperial Procuratorate and the officials of the six science corridors, who have written books to discuss.

And the focus of the discussion was the same as what Emperor Chongzhen was worried about.

The land of the Shuixian clan was divided into meritorious soldiers, because there were precedents in Dongjiang Town and Liaodong Town before, so no one said anything.

Hou Liangzhu was awarded the title of Dingyi Bo because of his merits, and he was awarded a thousand hectares of luxury land and mountains and forests for the world forever, and no one said anything.

There are two focal points of discussion or opposition, one of which is the issue of Zhu Xieyuan's merits and demerits.

Among them, Hu Kezuo wrote to Wei Chengrun in the matter: "Hundreds of millions of people in the world, regardless of Han Tu Yi Miao, are all His Majesty's children, and this emperor entrusts His Majesty to it!" Extravagant and rebellious chieftains, committing rebellion, for the sake of the southwest, the sin is unforgivable, but the people of the southwest Yi Miao are innocent!

"Since the minister Zhu Xieyuan entered Guiyang, the wolf soldiers destroyed Shuidong, and the Song family was full of slaughter of all the old and young, and the Song family was cut off from the Song family for hundreds of years without being ordered.

"Then swore to go on the expedition, did not apply for military discipline, from eastern Sichuan, northern Yunnan, and even western and northern Guizhou, all burned and plundered, the people and the unscrupulous people of the mountains and mountains were regarded as traitors and thieves, so that the Yi and Miao people were ambushed all over the field, and there was no way to escape, and the officers and troops of all departments went out to plunder, and what they did was extremely cruel.

"The disaster of the people in the southwest, the minister really can't bear to talk about it! The minister dares to ask, is it the official army or the thief army under the command of the governor? !

"If Your Majesty only rewards his merits and does not punish his faults, then the minister will resign from the household department and ask to return to his hometown!"

Li Shiqi, the imperial historian of the Imperial Prefecture of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wrote and said: "Since the country has come to the trouble of foreign countries, the northern captives are urgent, the two Guangdong are second, the Yunnan and Shu are second, the Japanese are second, and the Xiqiang is second.

"For more than 100 years, the imperial court has been a meritorious civil servant in the north, and the marquis has not been crowned a war, His Majesty has been awarded two marquis and one uncle for the merit of Pingshui West.

"If Your Majesty insists on this meritorious civil servant to be the world's lord, please ask Your Majesty to posthumously confer the former meritorious Governor Fu Wenchen of Yubei, Suppression of Japanese Kou, and Pingbanzhou!"

Another focus is the issue of Qin Liangyu's feudal marquis. No one has any objections to Qin Liangyu and Shizhu Tusi's merits, and all the firepower of the controversy is focused on Qin Liangyu's identity as a Miaojiang woman.

Some of the books really mentioned Mrs. Shunde's extravagant fragrance, and the merit of opening up the dragon field and nine posts with extravagant fragrance was only the title of Mrs. Shunde.

Some also said that back then, with the Emperor of the Apocalypse relying on the favor of the Hakka family, and with the power of Wei Eunuch and the Hakka family, the Hakka family was also named a holy lady, and they did not dare to expect the gift of the world.

Now even if Qin Liangyu's credit is great, he has to be crowned a loyal martial marquis with a Miao Jiang woman, and the grace is too much.

Some also said that the surname of Shijue has always been the same, Qin Liangyu's surname is Qin, and his son Shizhu Xuanwei Si Xuanwei makes Ma Xianglin's surname Ma, and in the future, the Marquis of Zhongwu will be a hundred years old, and his lord will be passed on to the Ma family, or to the Qin family, the court is so absurd, but isn't it adding chaos and asking for trouble? !

The statements of these imperial historians are not completely unreasonable, but it doesn't make much sense to talk about them at this time.

And for the imperial historians and officials like this, Emperor Chongzhen of course will not compare them one by one.

As long as the cabinet ministers reach an agreement and have the countersignature of the cabinet, now the Chongzhen Emperor will not care about the discussion of one, two or more imperial historians.

Since the current Emperor Chongzhen straightened out the Ming Dynasty, the right to refute the Six Science Corridors has long been shelved.

In the past, the holy decrees of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty needed to be drafted by the cabinet, and then handed over to the emperor's imperial review.

This set of procedures has to be tossed for a period of time, even if the journey is smooth, if a holy decree wants to get out of the Forbidden City, it will take ten days and half a month.

And if any link is different from the emperor's own thoughts, or the opinions of the six departments and the cabinet and the celebrant are different, then I am afraid that this holy decree will not be able to leave the Forbidden City.

In the middle of this chain of links and links, the most frequent obstruction effect is the Liuke Corridor composed of young Jinshi who boast of various clear streams.

And the six science corridors give the people in the matter a small and big killing weapon, which is the right to refute the holy decree.

They don't have a big official position and little experience, but they can seal or reject the emperor's decree, so that the emperor's decree can't leave the Forbidden City.

The tension between the emperor and the civil officials of the imperial court at the end of the Ming Dynasty was mostly due to the Liuke Corridor under the control of the Donglin Party, and the reason why the various fierce party struggles intensified was mostly due to the role played by the officials of the Six Branch Corridor.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen has now restricted the power of the Six Branch Corridors, and now he has already deprived the Six Branch Corridors of the right to refute them.

Nowadays, the Six Branch Corridor can still seal or reject the official documents issued by the Six Ming Departments, but for the emperor's will, especially for the emperor's will that has been countersigned by the cabinet, the Six Branch Corridor is not allowed to refute it.

For the edict proposed by the emperor and countersigned by the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Branch Corridor can discuss it, and may put forward opinions or suggest amendments, but it is not allowed to reject them in their entirety.

After all, this was the emperor's proposal.

To refute the decree is to deny the authority of the Son of Heaven, and to deny the authority of the Son of Heaven is to deny the Son of Heaven himself.

To deny the Son of Heaven itself is to go against the will of Heaven and to go against the morbidity.

Now this Emperor Chongzhen is using this simple and crude logic to deprive the Six Branch Corridor of the power to refute the Holy Decree in one sentence.
