Adopted by a eunuch as an adopted son since he was a child, Qian Ning has developed a delicate surname, and he can pull down his face and flatter people as long as it is helpful to the future. However, for so many years, he didn't know how many opportunities he had to drill the camp, but in the end he was nearly thirty years old but achieved nothing, if it weren't for Xu Xun's occasional visit to Beizhen Fusi, and then he listened to Li Yifeng's recommendation to include him in the vanguard of the government army, he would have relied on the official title of a small brocade cloth hundred households, and he didn't know that Ma Yue would be able to come out in the Year of the Monkey.

Therefore, for the sake of this hard-won opportunity, he can be said to have risked his life to fight this time - whether it was pulling up a tiger skin as a banner in the Wanquan Right Acropolis to deceive many military remnants from him, or disguised himself to infiltrate the sand city to drug the guard guards, or even assassinating Agoura and Battle in a desperate way, or after several thrilling attacks, even after Xu Xun and others returned, he still carried the old firewood on the grassland for several days - there is only one purpose, that is, to desperately lay a brilliant future. At this moment, when he walked up to the hall with his head held high, he had never reached it before, not to mention the excitement in his heart.

"Wechen knocks on the emperor!"

Although Zhu Houzhao had seen Qian Ning in the vanguard of the government army in the past, and was deeply impressed by his left and right bows, he really didn't remember any other specialties of this person. However, in the clip of Xu Xun's request for merit this time, Qian Ning, who was not of high rank, was very colorful, and he couldn't help but take advantage of the period when people entered the temple to bow and bow, and took a good look at this great man. After a while, he happily bowed his head and said, "Flatten down, stand up again and give me a good look." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Seeing Qian Ning kowtow neatly and get up, standing up straight with his body, more heroic than when they met for the first time before, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be even happier: "Very good, very good!" I think when I first saw you, I felt that it was a pity that you didn't have to fight when you were fighting, and sure enough, you made great achievements this time, no wonder Xu Xun praised you endlessly, the Tao is so deep behind the enemy that there are few lonely heroes in the world, and you should be rewarded, thinking that you are a model for the army! ”

The emperor said Xu Xun's recommendation directly, Qian Ning couldn't help but secretly glance at Xu Xun, and saw that the other party was nodding at him with a smile, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and was glad that he was with the right person, so he immediately replied loudly: "The emperor praises it, and Weichen doesn't dare to be it." At that time, Weichen arrived at the Wanquan Right Acropolis, and saw that the wounded soldiers in the city were full of mourning, and the situation was unbearable, so he decided to go to the Sentinel outside the Saiwai to investigate. If it weren't for Lord Xu, General Shen really responded, and Wei Chen would definitely have the ability to reach the heavens, and he would not have been able to have such fruitful results. Moreover, Weichen can get away with it, and it is also the emperor's blessing tomorrow, which allows the soldiers under his command to succeed in one fell swoop! ”

The emperor generally likes to listen to the words of the saints, but Zhu Houzhao can hear it from the eunuchs, but he doesn't even think about it from the ministers - everyone compares him with the Hongzhi Emperor, and they can't wait to ask him to learn from the emperor in everything, who will praise the emperor for his wisdom and praise him all the time? So, hearing that Qian Ning attributed all this big victory to himself, Zhu Houzhao was so happy that his eyebrows danced for a while.

"Good, good! Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, Xu Xun has always been humble and simple, even you are not proud of your achievements, why worry about not succeeding in the future training of the avant-garde of the government army! Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao didn't look at the faces of those ministers, and asked anxiously, "Just now Miao Kui said that you just came back from the north, is the news that the Tartars on the grassland are fighting by themselves?" ”

"Absolutely."

Speaking of this, Qian Ning cheered up again for a while, and said busily: "The one we raided before was the team of the little prince's second son, because the military horses in front of him were all taken over by the combined forces of Yongshebu and Ordos to attack Yongshebu and Ordos by a general under the little prince. I heard that this unfortunate prince had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and was sent to all the tribes by the head of the owl, so the little prince was furious, and issued a conscription order to his head, and their opponents also issued a conscription order, and these days, three battles have been fought in large and small battles, and they are making a lot of trouble......"

Qian Ning saw that Zhu Houzhao was really interested, and the surname Suo added fuel to the three battles told by hearsay, and only then did he turn over and kneel down again and say: "Your Majesty, the Tartar took advantage of the new funeral of the first emperor to enter the palace in a big way, but now he has fought among himself, this is exactly the retribution!" It is all the emperor's blessing and Qitian, this time Lord Xu, General Yang Daren, General Chen, and Miao Gonggong Zhang Gonggong can not only defeat the enemy, but also let the frontier be peaceful for a while! ”

"If it is really as you say, it is a blessing in the world!" Zhu Houzhao only felt that the whole person was unprecedentedly comfortable, and as soon as he pressed the throne under him, he actually stood up like this, "Your merit will be recorded according to the miraculous merits, and a commander makes me feel that it is more than enough." ”

In just a short period of time, Qian Ning has already praised the saint twice, and Zhu Houzhao is even more forgetful to directly reward him, hearing that Liu Jian and the others frowned - Zhu Houzhao first ascended the throne and sang against them with great fanfare, and now if he depends on him in everything, I don't know what kind of fame the little emperor will toss next. So, looking at Zhu Houzhao's happiest moment, he immediately coughed lightly, who had just been keenly aware of Qian Ning's imminent revelations.

"Your Majesty, it is appropriate to reward meritorious heroes." Knowing that this opening could no longer be blocked, Liu Jian made up his mind that it was better to block it, bowed down and looked at Qian Ning and said word by word, "Just now the minister listened to what Qian Ning said, he should have only been ordered to go to the Wanquan Right Acropolis Sentinel to investigate, and he didn't get the military order to get out of the jam, right?" Although it is a fluke, such a violation of military orders must not be promoted! Moreover, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, this time Xu Xun Shenying was able to retreat from the enemy, and he did not tell him, plus Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong were good at transferring Datong military horses, and Chen Xiongmiao Kui dispatched from the right acropolis without authorization, and all of them were overstepping their authority! Since Xu Xun said that soldiers should be rewarded for their military merits, the ministers and others could agree, but from Xu Xun Shenying to Yang Yiqing, Zhang Yong, Chen Xiong, Miao Kui, and even Qian Ning, the merits should be offset, so as not to set a precedent for indiscriminate rewards! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Even the ministers who had been very dissatisfied before looked at Liu Jian with great horror, as if they thought of the fact that this cabinet elder from Henan had always been a blockbuster during his reign, and even Li Dongyang, who had already made a good draft in his heart, was also stunned, and Xie Qian could not hide the joy on his face.

Xu Xun knew that there would be thorns all the way forward when the Xuanfu chose to fight against Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, and after returning from a great victory, he also knew that there was a fight in the ring. However, at this time, Liu Jian relied on the word overstepping his authority to arbitrarily use his merits to offset everyone's merits, and he couldn't help but feel deeply angry.

Qian Ning didn't expect that he had just slipped out of his mouth, but he was caught by Liu Jian with such a handle, and his face changed greatly for a while, and he felt regret and hatred in his heart. However, when he was about to speak again, many civil officials had already woken up, and one by one they were impassioned, and he couldn't find any room to interject. Just when he gritted his teeth, about to be accused of being disrespectful and scolding these old men who only knew how to sit in the rear and enjoy their success, he suddenly heard an abrupt voice.

"Outside, the king's order is not affected, not to mention that the fighter plane is fleeting!"

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth to say such a sentence, and was pushed back by Liu Jian: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the ministers never dare to agree when he says this." If there is peace today, the guards of the frontier should follow the rules, rather than be different everywhere. If anyone learns from Xu Xun and others to be so arbitrary, then the Ming Nine Border Guards, wouldn't everyone be able to rashly attack and provoke? ”

"According to Yuanfu, that is to say, only the prisoners are allowed to disturb the border, and the soldiers are not allowed to cross the Great Wall for a single step?" Xu Xun finally saw the opportunity to fight back, and without waiting for Liu Jian to answer, he sneered, "That minister is really insightful, this is really similar to only allowing the governor to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps!" Moreover, this time it was the capture of the Kou to destroy the Xinkou Great Wall and enter the Kou on a large scale, so that the Xuanfu soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded thousands, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were taken away. Although it was a big victory, the minister did not dare to be honest. The reason why we want to reward Qian Ning and other soldiers is to boost morale, and to let the soldiers and civilians of the Nine Sides know that it is not only the Tartars who come to beat us, we can also cut off their heads as balls! ”

This murderous sentence immediately aroused the resonance of Miao Kui, who finally made a beautiful comeback. Seeing that Liu Jian's face was pale, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu's words reminded the slave maid of the old things when the first emperor was alive. If the slave maid remembers the surname, it is good, I remember that when the slave and the maid and the Baoguo Gong went on an expedition to Yansui to repay the victory, although Yuan Fu and the adults were very dissatisfied with the discussion, the first emperor was the dictatorship. ”

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was different, he slowly threw out the last killer idea: "Now that the emperor has newly ascended the throne, the merits of a cadre of soldiers who have fought to the death have been picked out by others. ”

Those four words? Isn't it just relying on the old and selling the old!

At this moment, not only Xu Xun's heart was bright, but he secretly sighed that Miao Kui's move was too sharp, even the other ministers who originally wanted to follow him, seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was really pale, he couldn't help but hesitate. Liu Jian, who already hated Miao Kui, scolded the old eunuch at both ends of the first rat in his heart, but in the end he had to be silent.

If Miao Kui really said this, some young officials in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, who had long been ready to make a move, would definitely take the opportunity to make a noise! Seeing this juncture, Li Dongyang, who thought that he didn't need himself today, had to bow down step by step.

"The emperor previously asked the new celebrant to seal Li Gonggong to the cabinet to give the imperial book, and planned to promote Yang Yiqing to the right capital of the imperial history of the general system of Ningxia Yansui and Gansu tripartite, this matter Yuan Fu and I Mu Zhai discussed, decided to order the military department to discuss. As for the 12th regiment battalion led by Shenying, after all, it was too hasty, so it was better to discuss it slowly, and the matter of Feng Bo could be discussed with Xu Xun's matter. Zhang Jun Zhuangjian is still in charge of the general army, and the cabinet has no objections. And how to reward Gonggong Zhang, the former guard supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Miao Gongfu Army, is already in the inner court, not the ministers and other foreign ministers should intervene. As for Chen Xiong and other meritorious soldiers, it is advisable to reward them one by one after the military department has verified their merits. ”

"Then let's go back to the palace first!"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao get up from the dragon chair with a gloomy face and brush his sleeves away, the ministers could only salute in a hurry. But from top to bottom, I know that these four words of relying on the old and selling the old are afraid that they will sprout in the heart of the little emperor.
