Chapter 123: Becoming Famous in the First World (1)
Chapter 123 Fight to Fame (1)
Emperor Su Zheng was flipping through the chapters, and the more he looked at it, the more upset he became. Suddenly he threw the pen aside and leaned back in his chair and gasped. It's all troubles, are the officials of Dayan all rice buckets? Is it so hard to govern a place? One by one, they stretched out their hands to ask for food and money, why didn't they think of a way to stabilize the place? Rice buckets, all rice buckets.
I don't know what happened to Niu Tianci, there has been no news for so long, I'm afraid I've encountered difficulties. Young people have a good face, and they don't say anything when they encounter difficulties. Alas, it would be nice if the local officials of Dayan could be like Niu Tianci, and they would save a lot of worry like him. The prince has also been restless for the past two days, and he has been listless in doing things. The state affairs are heavy, I have not put a burden on him too early.
When Emperor Su Zheng thought of this, he planned to ask Gao Ping to see if there was any report about the Far East. But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps.
"Huangpu Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, knocked to see Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the great victory in the Far East, and the battle of 100,000."
When the teacup fell to the ground, Emperor Su Zheng couldn't believe his ears, he stared at Huangpu Song and asked.
"You mean the great victory in the Far East, killing 100,000?"
"Exactly."
"Is it Sima Yan's recital?"
"No, it's the handwritten note of the Temporary Governor of the Far East, Niu Tianci, and the note of the Heavenly Wolf Protector of the Mansion and the Protector of Zhuang Dafu, and the Gao Zan of the Northern Army Supervisor has also passed on."
"Your Majesty~~~, Your Majesty. The old slave received a high praise secret music, and the Far East won a great victory, and the battle was cut by 100,000. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The minister received an urgent report from Luo Hongliang, the governor of the Far East Governor's Mansion Town, and the Taishou of Yuancheng. The Far East won a great victory, and 100,000 were killed. ”
Li Ke walked in quickly with a copy of the recital, and many ministers came one after another, saying one thing, the victory of the Far East. 100,000 slashes.
"Father~~~, father, the Far East has won a great victory, and the battle is 100,000. My eldest brother won, won. Hahahaha. ”
"Hahahaha. I know, I know. Niu Tianci will not live up to my expectations. Hahaha. Convene all the ministers of Taihe Palace to discuss the matter, spread this good news to the world, and tell the people that my army has won a great victory! ”
"Your Majesty, listen, the people are already cheering."
Huangpu Song pointed to the outside of the hall and said loudly. Emperor Su Zheng walked out of the hall and listened carefully, the Great Yan Wansheng, the Yan army was mighty, and the cheers of His Majesty Wansheng came from outside the palace to the ears of Emperor Su Zheng. Emperor Su Zheng swept away the previous decadence, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards Taihe Palace with his head held high. The ministers followed. The excitement and joy made them forget their usual manners, and whispered: "Win, we win." ”
Emperor Longsheng turned around to look at the ministers, and for the first time showed a smile.
"If you want to cheer, cheer, this news is worth getting carried away, I don't blame you, hahahaha."
"Dayan Wansheng! Your Majesty wins! ”
The ministers shouted in unison, and even the Qianniu guards around the main hall also chanted in unison. Gao Bijiang shouted with envy in his heart. Look at the godsends. He achieved such great feats at a young age than himself. Look at yourself again, relying on Lao Tzu's residual power, standing at the door as a bodyguard all day long. The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, it's really boring. If you can't do it, you have to think of a way to go to the Far East to make a contribution, what can you think of? Yes, that's it.
The atmosphere of the court meeting was warm, and singing praises of virtue was inevitable and necessary. Wen toasted and Chen Jiuling although they were reluctant. But he still echoed everyone and shouted a few words casually: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is mighty." As for the two sentences of Da Yan Wansheng and Yan Jun's might, they are cheers from the heart.
Since the plague, everything has not gone well in Dayan, and the Far East has been shocked three times a day. Now that it is good, Niu Tianci annihilated 100,000 enemies in one battle. The situation in the perilous Far East stabilized, and all that remained was to gradually regain lost territory and put down the rebellion. The news of the great victory in the Far East was like a ray of dawn, dispelling a lot of the haze that shrouded the hearts of the monarchs and ministers. When Niu Tianci left Beijing, he could be said to be riding alone, alone, but he didn't expect him to have such an amazing record as soon as he arrived in the Far East, and the ministers of Dayan were speculating about how Niu Tianci did it and where his soldiers came from.
Yan Chengyu also stood in the court and accepted the congratulations from the military generals, and the students naturally have face as teachers. What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also gathered around Yan Chengyu and shouted at an uncle, asking Yan Chengyu to explain the entire battle to himself in combination with the Far East Military Report.
Yan Chengyu looked at the content of the military newspaper, and the scene of the Great War in the Far East appeared in front of him. He was proud of Niu Tianci, and he knew that even if he personally commanded this battle, he would not necessarily achieve this effect. Yan Chengyu has not fought a battle in which the weak defeat the strong, but let him lead a newly formed army to join the battlefield in a hurry like Niu Tianci, and he must make accurate judgments in non-stop mobile operations, and he must make decisions on the spot, command if he is determined, and make appropriate trade-offs like Niu Tianci, Yan Chengyu asked himself is really reluctant.
When Yan Chengyu saw the news of Sima Yan's martyrdom, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He is not only sad for the death of his friends and close comrades-in-arms, but also envious of his friends who can die on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, this is the most glorious death of a general and a soldier.
"Uncle, don't be sad. General Sima was loyal to the country and died well, he was a hero of my Dayan and a model for the Dayan soldiers. His father will definitely praise him heavily, and General Sima will definitely be famous for generations to come. ”
Emperor Su Zheng walked up to Yan Chengyu and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Qin Guogong mourns, I know that you and General Sima are brothers and sisters, and I will definitely not treat meritorious people badly." I want him to enjoy the glory of Wushang, and I want the world to know that I will reward those who are loyal to Dayan and those who are loyal to me. ”
"Passing on my will, Sima Yan protected the country and protected the territory, martyred the country, made outstanding achievements, and was specially allowed to be buried with the gift of the king of the county, awarded the hussar general, Jin Rongguogong, and awarded the Golden Dragon Medal of Honor. His eldest son, Sima Changfeng, was awarded the title of General Zhongwu and Deputy General of the Right Weiwei. Sima Yan's wife was named Mrs. Anguo, and the Ministry of Rites arranged the funeral, set up a sacrificial hall in her house, and I went to worship in person. The Ministry of Rites and Rites made a full-length statue of Rong Guogong and placed it in the martyr's hall of the Great Yan Loyal Soul Shrine to be worshiped forever. ”
"Minister, Sima Yan, thank Your Majesty for your generous gift."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Yan Chengyu and the ministers knelt on the ground and thanked Emperor Su Zheng for his reward. Wen Toast and the others also thanked Emperor Su Zheng from the bottom of their hearts this time. Titles and official ranks are all false, people are dead, and those face-saving things are only for the living. Sima Yan was awarded the Golden Dragon Medal of Honor, and the statue was put into the Heroic Soul Temple, which was a real glory.
The Golden Dragon Medal of Honor is the highest honor medal of Dayan, which is specially used to reward meritorious civil and military ministers and ordinary people who have made meritorious contributions to the country. Those who wear this medal will not be able to dissolve the sword. If the face does not kneel, except for the crime of treason, the whole family will be exempted from death. That is to say, as long as you do not commit treason and defect to foreign enemies, you will not be killed even if you rebel. What's more, there are various tax exemptions and material subsidies, which can be passed on to future generations. Therefore, in the hundreds of years since the establishment of this medal, only about 20 people have been able to receive this medal. Yan Chengyu's family has it. It was awarded to its ancestor Yan Wushuang. It is precisely because of this that Emperor Suzheng hated Yan Chengyu so much that he didn't dare to find a reason to kill Yan Chengyu at will.
The statue in the Great Yan Zhong Soul Shrine is still placed in the Hall of Martyrs, which is even more remarkable. In the Hall of Martyrs is the statue of the great Yan of the past dynasties of the great monarchs and famous ministers, to be among them is not only a recognition of the merits of the deceased, but also represents the respect and commitment of the great Yan to his family and future generations. His family will be cared for and treated favorably in all respects, and his descendants will not be treason against the enemy, or do something evil that must be destroyed. Even if you are incompetent, you can live a life of glory and wealth, and enjoy a good life that ordinary people dare not imagine.
It can be seen that Emperor Suzheng has indeed done his duty to Sima Yanren this time, and he did not enjoy this glory when Tuoba Honglie was martyred, which is definitely a generous gift, compared to this, the gold and silver of the official title is simply not a matter.
Emperor Su Zheng looked at Yan Chengyu and the ministers with satisfaction, waved everyone up, and then took the prince's hand and returned to the throne to sit down. Of course, Long Xingrong didn't dare to sit down with Emperor Su Zheng, he could only stand beside Emperor Su Zheng, but Long Xingrong was still very excited. Because he knew that the next step was to reward the Flying Tiger Army for his meritorious deeds.
"Zhongqing, the Far East annihilated 100,000 enemies in one war. The situation in the Far East has stabilized. In this battle, the Flying Tiger Army made great contributions, and how did the ministers think they should be rewarded? ”
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the Flying Tiger Army was ordered to fight bloody battles to protect half of the Far East, and laid the foundation for the future recovery of lost territory. The Flying Tiger Army raised the prestige of our country in this battle and protected the people of our Far East from misery. The officers and men of the Flying Tiger Army are in the community and must be rewarded. Niu Tianci, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, is talented, wise and brave, and famous, and is a rare handsome talent in Dayan. The Far East fought a battle in which Niu Tianci stood out. Bright hope and merit are the best choices. The minister suggested that His Majesty should reuse the reward. ”
Huangpu Song, the secretary of the military department, spoke first, and he was the one with the most face in the Far East, and of course he would speak for Niu Tianci and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army. Besides, the scheming Huangpu Song understood where Niu Tianci's soldiers came from when he read the battle report, and at this time, Niu Tianci and the Flying Tiger Army must be raised, so as not to make sure that Emperor Suzheng took Zhenbei and the Leopard Cavalry Second Army to go out without a purpose.
"What Lord Huangpu said is extremely true, at this time of crisis in the Far East, the Flying Tiger Army turned the tide in the first battle, which can be said to be meritorious to the community and beneficial to the people, and cannot be unrewarded. Moreover, the Great Governor of the Far East, General Sima Yan, was martyred, and the Far East cannot be without someone in charge. The minister asked His Majesty to use Niu Tianci to guard the Far East, wait for the opportunity to recover the lost territory and exterminate the Rong Department, and return my Dayan to stability. ”
Shangshu Wen of the Ministry of Officials toasted and then suggested that he and Huangpu Song were of the same mind.
"How's that for the servant?"
Emperor Su Zheng asked Li Ke, Long Xingrong kept winking at Li Ke, Li Ke smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what the two adults said is extremely true, and the minister has no objection. It's just that Niu Tianci has not been in the Far East for a long time, but he can quickly form a large army. Chen really didn't understand how he did it. ”
As soon as Li Ke's words came out, Huangpu Song and others were shocked. This Li Ke really doesn't open any pot to mention, everyone is deliberately not mentioning the matter of going out without a purpose, he has to pierce this layer of window paper. You must know that once Emperor Su Zheng understands, he doesn't know what to do in his anger. Long Xingrong was even more anxious to rush over and cover Li Ke's mouth. He secretly blamed Rick for not being able to speak.
Huangpu Song looked at Yan Chengyu, handed over an apologetic look, and then said to Li Ke.
"Servant shooting, this official originally wanted to propose to His Majesty to dismiss the Zhenbei Army and the Leopard Cavalry Army, these two army divisions are tired, and they have made no achievements in taking the country's fortune all these years, so what's the use of keeping them? Therefore, this official has always wanted to suggest to His Majesty that the Second Army be abolished, but he did not expect that Niu Tianci would integrate these two armies as soon as he arrived in the Far East, and he would shine in this battle, and this official was also very surprised. The official's intention, since this is already the case, simply transfer these two armies to the command of the Flying Tiger Army, and save His Majesty from having to worry about the lack of strength of the Flying Tiger Army. Your Majesty, I wonder if the minister's suggestion is appropriate? ”
"Hehehe, what Huangpu Aiqing said is extremely true, the Northern Army has made no achievements in recent years, and it is not as brave and courageous as a Niu Tianci. The brigadier general Zhenbei and the Leopard Cavalry were transferred to serve under Niu Tianci. The Flying Tiger Army won more with less in this battle, and the losses must be a lot, so the troops and troops were replenished at an accelerated pace, and the required soldiers and materials were quickly and quickly. ”
"Commandment."
A group of ministers peeked at Yan Chengyu, and Emperor Su Zheng's words were simply slapping Yan Chengyu's mouth in front of everyone. The Northern Legion is nothing to achieve, but who is responsible for this? Isn't it because Emperor Suzheng was jealous of the Northern Army and Yan Chengyu, and tied the hands and feet of the Northern Army to death, so that this strong army had no achievements. Everyone looked at Yan Chengyu worriedly, but found that Yan Chengyu's face was calm, not angry or happy. Emperor Su Zheng looked at Yan Chengyu's appearance, and his heart was not good, Yan Chengyu, who had always been arrogant, has now become a stuffy gourd, which is really refreshing for Emperor Su Zheng. The crown prince Long Xingrong didn't have this thought, the eyes he sent to Yan Chengyu contained apologies, comfort and begging, Long Xingrong really didn't want Yan Chengyu to have a seizure on the spot, and finally delayed Niu Tianci's good deeds.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Emperor Su Zheng asked Li Ke triumphantly.
"There is no objection to this. Your Majesty, then let's discuss how to reward the Flying Tiger Army. ”
"Yes, Father. Erchen also agreed to reward the Flying Tiger Army and Niu Tianci. ”
"Hehe, of course you agree. Don't be impatient, let's take our time. (To be continued.) )
