After Zhu Ping'an's words, Cao Huachun was thoughtful, and Gao Qiqian sighed in his heart, he had been serving in front of the emperor for a long time, he knew Emperor Chongzhen's temperament. Although he treats the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee with exile and belittlement or cane death at every turn, he still attaches great importance to family affection. Empress Yi'an, who has always been kind to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, is proof of this.

Zhu Ping'an's crying and blood is right, and if he can't keep it, Chongzhen will feel pity for him.

After listening, Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a while, and Huaide helped Zhu Ping'an up, with good words and comfort, and then instructed Wang Chengen: "Xuanzhao Zongren Mansion experience Li Guorui and Gong Yonggu to meet!" “

After speaking, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen again, now the right sect of the Zongren Mansion can be in Beijing. Before the Yongle Dynasty, the Zongren Mansion was always held by a noble prince, and then, on the basis of the Yongle Emperor's large-scale reduction of the domain, the actual power of the Zongren Mansion was slowly transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites served as the Zongren Mansion experience, controlling the actual jurisdiction, which was equivalent to the emperor firmly holding the power to manage the clan in his own hands. And the prince and so on are just the name of an honorary manager. Gong Yonggu participated in the management of affairs as a representative of the imperial family.

Nowadays, the Zongren Decree of the Zongren Mansion is held by the Fu King of Luoyang, but the sky is high and the road is far away, so the nominal administrator of the Zongren Mansion has been transformed into the British Gongzhang Zhiji and the Ministry of Rites officials who serve as the right Zongren. The British Duke is guarding Nanjing, but although the British Duke is in his prime, his body is very weak, so he has been staying in Beijing for diagnosis and treatment, and now it is just in handy.

Gao Qiqian peeked at the situation in the warm pavilion, knowing that this time the carefully designed plan had failed. turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, but this person looked calm and uncaring, and he couldn't help but feel quite depressed.

Huaide went to summon himself, but Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Ping'an had a family routine without a word, and asked him about Zhu Yujian's situation in the high wall, Zhu Ping'an also answered according to the truth, but he never thought that he would pass this level so easily. However, Zhu Ping'an read something unusual from it, and it seems that this emperor seems to have known his identity for a long time. This is quite intriguing.

Zhang Zhiji is now in Tai Hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Li Guorui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, had just withdrawn from the court meeting, so after only half an hour, the two of them came at the same time as Gong Yonggu.

Zhang Zhiji's body was weak. It is the palace that Emperor Chongzhen authorized to sit on the soft couch and enter. As soon as you enter the warm pavilion. Emperor Chongzhen shushed again and asked for warmth. It's a blessing. After all, Gong Yonggu also participated in the Battle of Julu, although he did not personally participate in the battle, but after the war. But he knew Zhu Ping'an, so after saluting and standing still, he smiled at Zhu Ping'an.

Looking at everyone, Emperor Chongzhen's smile gradually faded and was replaced by a solemn look. "Today's affairs, everyone must abide by the secret, not to reveal the slightest bit of information to the outside world, if there is any leakage, should be punished for the crime of defrauding the king!"

Everyone's hearts sank, and they agreed in unison.

"Today, there is Zhu Ping'an, a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, who has been living abroad for 17 years, and is fortunate to be blessed by his ancestors and ancestors, so that he can return to the clan. The Zongren Mansion included it in the genealogy and included it in the Tang Dynasty Zhu Yujian's lineage. British Gong, Gong Yonggu, Li Guorui, the three of you are witnesses, handle it quickly, there must be no mistakes! ”

Huaide helped Zhang Zhiji up, and Li Guorui and Gong Yonggu also stood up, saying that they obeyed the order, but they were horrified in their hearts. But they didn't know what was going on, so all three of them had surprised expressions on their faces.

"Don't ask again, just do it with your heart!" Emperor Chongzhen added with a cold face.

The three of them bowed down and said yes, but they had to retreat with a belly of question marks.

Chongzhen said to Zhu Ping'an: "This matter is now only known to me and these internal officials. You are still young, although you have made such a great achievement, but if you suddenly make this matter public, it will inevitably cause a shock in the court, which is not good for you and your father. I promise you here today that when I make further meritorious deeds in the future, I will personally issue an edict to reveal your identity, and name you and return to your clan! How is it? ”

"Thank you Emperor for your grace!" Zhu Ping'an knelt down again and thanked him.

"Who is on duty in the cabinet now?" Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen.

"Back to the emperor's words, today is Yang Ge Lao and Xue Ge Lao on duty!"

"Announce their audience!"

Just sent Zhang Zhiji and Li Guorui away, and included Zhu Ping'an in the family tree, Zi'an was about to summon Yang Sichang and Xue Guoguan in the cabinet again, Chongzhen's series of actions made Gao Qiqian a little frightened, and even Cao Huachun was a little uneasy. peeked at Wang Chengen, but there was no answer on his face.

Yang Sichang and Xue Guoguan came quickly. Since Zhu Ping'an's solo meeting, Yang Sichang has always felt a little uneasy, but fortunately, Gao Qiqian, as a member of the internal officials, is qualified to be present, if there is any change, he can always send some news as soon as possible. But Gao Qiqian's news didn't come, but the eunuch who passed the decree came to the cabinet room first.

Yang Sichang was apprehensive, so he had to rush to the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace with Xue Guoguan.

After the salute, Yang Sichang looked at Gao Qiqian at first glance, and saw that his face was full of fear, and his heart became even more uneasy for a while.

"Now that the cabinet and the celebrant are here, there is a conclusion in the court meeting about the reward for the battle of the giant deer. However, I was deeply interested in the great achievements made by Zhu Ping'an, the commander of the Central Capital, so I summoned him alone, and I was quite moved by the performance. If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can sacrifice their lives like the generals of Xuanda and Zhongjun, then why can't the rebellion of the Liukou and the Dongyu be pacified? ”

"All of them are caused by the grace of Majesty!" All the people bowed down in unison.

Chongzhen smiled, "Zhongqing doesn't have to coax me to be happy. What I want to say is that in this war, rewards and punishments must be clear, since Zhu Ping'an has made such a great contribution, how to reward it is a difficult thing to do, and the secretaries may as well come one by one! ”

As soon as he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, Yang Sichang immediately became a little breathless, this is a critical juncture, and he can't say anything to make Zhu Ping'an's benefit, so he can only refer to Lu Xiangsheng's example, make a gap for him, and send him away, or he will get Xiong Wencan's front line to suppress bandits, and let him become cannon fodder.

After making up his mind, Yang Sichang was about to speak, but Cao Huachun took the lead. "Slaves and maids respectfully ask for the Holy Judge!"

This time Yang Sichang wanted to say back, the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant spoke, and asked the emperor to decide the reward himself, if he, the helmsman of the cabinet, insisted on expressing his opinion, he would become the opposite of the celebrant and the celebrant at the time, but once he was opposed to the celebrant eunuch, would it have an impact on his side?

When Yang Sichang hesitated, Emperor Chongzhen had already smiled and nodded, and his eyes looking at Cao Huachun also had a sense of appreciation.

"In this way, I have made up my mind, so I will crown Zhu Ping'an as the deputy chief soldier of Dengzhou Mansion, the commander of Weihaiwei, and the general of Denglai Naval Division......!"

Yang Sichang's heart was raised to his throat, for fear that Emperor Chongzhen would be knighted and added to the official with one mouth, or directly make a governor of Beijing or something.

Yang Sichang subconsciously just wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, "Dengzhou Mansion is the deputy general of the second grade, the commander of Weihaiwei, and the general of the Denglai Water Division, what's going on with these three positions." Not to mention that they are far away in Shandong, among the three positions, the highest official position is only the deputy chief soldier of Dengzhou, and it is only a second-grade military attaché, and in the eyes of civilian officials, it is just a mustard-like official position. What is the emperor's plan, Zhu Ping'an has made such a great contribution, why did he give these officials, and he didn't even have a hereditary title! ”

In an instant, Yang Sichang was "upset" for Zhu Ping'an in his heart.

Gao Qiqian and Cao Huachun also looked at each other. Zhu Ping'an made meritorious deeds, just now it was Jian in the emperor's heart, why did he give these worthless official positions in the blink of an eye. Although he was promoted from the fourth rank to the second rank, compared to his military exploits, such a promotion is really not worth mentioning. But looking at the emperor's meaning, it was extremely solemn, so everyone didn't dare to talk about it, just exchanged glances, and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is wise".

Even Zhu Ping'an was shrouded in clouds and fog, and after a while, he was sent to Shandong. This is the famous place of the four wars, and it is only a stone's throw away from Jingshi and Beizhili. The previous Denglai rebellion made the whole Shandong devastated, and the recent Yue Tuo army ransacked the Shandong Peninsula and returned with a full load, and the whole Shandong was extremely withered, at this time, how could Chongzhen think of sending himself there?

Originally, Zhu Ping'an wanted to take advantage of this achievement, even if he went farther, leaving the court, which was a place of wrong, and even more so away from the repeated disasters of the Qing army and the Chuang army a few years later. It is best to go to Yungui and Liangguang, where the emperor is far away, and settle down to accumulate strength, so that he can have the strength to compete for the world before that catastrophe comes. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen sent himself directly to the barren Shandong Peninsula with a word of advice.

Yang Sichang still didn't give up, and immediately followed up, "Your Majesty, now that the war between the two lakes and bandits is in full swing, it is a pity that Zhu Ping'an and other heroes are stationed in Shandong. The minister thought that it was better to send his commanders to participate in the suppression of bandits, so as to make new contributions! ”

Listening to Chongzhen's reward, Zhu Ping'an's heart was already unhappy, and when he heard Yang Sichang's words at this moment, he was immediately angry, and he was just about to speak. Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth first.

"Yang Qing's words are wrong, the soldiers and horses of Zhongdu fought with the giant deer, and the losses were quite large, and Zhu Ping'an was also recuperating from his injuries. As for the matter of suppressing bandits you mentioned, Zuo Liangyu is a talent, so he was named the general of the thief and ordered him to rush to Xiong Wencan's army to serve his life! ”

Since Emperor Chongzhen said so, Yang Sichang naturally had no reason to insist, so that Zuo Liangyu, the general he trusted, picked up a ready-made bargain, and became a "thief general" in conversation and laughter, which can be regarded as a gain.

Suddenly, Yang Sichang rushed to his heart to be extremely happy, although Lu Xiangsheng made immortal achievements, but after all, he still left the court. Zhu Ping'an was sent to Shandong from afar, which is also a signal to prove that his holy family is still there, and in time, the position of the first assistant will still be captured.
