Walking in the front is a team of brocade guards, flying fish suits Xiuchun knives, and red horses under the crotch, which are the brocade guards sent by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to protect Sun Chengzong. After two years of life in Liaodong, these brocade guards are very different from the original.

With dark faces, strong bodies, and sharp bodies, they seem to be the most elite soldiers in the army. The body has a murderous aura that ordinary brocade guards don't have, and at first glance, it looks like he's seen blood on the battlefield.

Seeing these brocade guards, Luo Sigong was both happy and disappointed, the original brocade guards were the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and they were once famous on the battlefield. Although Jinyiwei is more famous today, his reputation is also more stinky. is more focused on investigating and arresting people, and there is no Jinyiwei on the battlefield, so it can be said that there will be gains and losses.

Soon Luo Sigong calmed down his mood, looking at the brocade guards in front of him, Luo Sigong was very relieved. No matter what time it is, Jinyiwei can't lose his roots.

After Jinyiwei opened the way, he was followed by the pro-army holding a sign of avoidance, and then Sun Chengzong's guard of honor. The flag fluttered in the wind, Taifu, Doctor Ronglu, Right Zhuguo, Zhongji Hall Scholar, Shoufu Minister, Ministry of Rites, Jiliao Governor Sun!

Looking at these flags, all the officials present looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were very wonderful. originally thought that Liu Yijing could compete with Sun Chengzong, but now it seems that the difference is not a little bit. Just looking at Sun Chengzong's official position, most of them feel that their scalps are numb.

For Sun Chengzong, who is both holy and has extraordinary strength, no matter who he is, he will have a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart. All officials have an urge to hit the wall, but there are also many people who feel that they are born like this, and they can't help but be proud.

At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Chengzong was the first courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and no one would question this title. Many people have already begun to look at the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, whether it is good or bad to have such a courtier in the court. No one knows.

The whole team slowly stopped, everyone knelt on the ground, and there was no sound in front of Desheng's gate, only the flags fluttering in the wind were hunting.

A carriage slowly stopped, and as the curtain opened, Sun Chengzong got out of the car. At this time, Sun Chengzong was wearing a big red golden dragon python robe. He wore an eight-treasure beaded jade belt around his waist, three strands of white hair fluttering on his chest, and his gentle gaze swept around.

After getting off the carriage, Sun Chengzong strode towards the Emperor of the Apocalypse, his body slowly began to tremble, with an excited look on his face. Came to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The minister Sun Chengzong sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had long since exempted Sun Chengzong from kneeling. However, Sun Chengzong chose to bow three times and knock nine times, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not pull Sun Chengzong, and the monarchs and ministers knew that this was not just a courtesy.

It wasn't until after Sun Chengzong's visit that the Emperor of the Apocalypse helped Sun Chengzong up, took Sun Chengzong's hand, and said excitedly: "Sir, I want to die!" ”

Mr. Sungzong's eyes suddenly turned red. A few tears fell. After wiping it gently, Sun Chengzong said with some emotion: "Don't be surprised, the emperor. When people get older, they are always more emotional. ”

Shaking his head, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a face full of shame, and said, "Sir, it's me I'm sorry sir, the bitter cold land of Liaodong, where I let Mr. suffer." It's me who can't live sir. ”

Hearing Emperor Apocalypse say this, Sun Chengzong's expression suddenly became serious, and he said seriously: "The minister is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and wherever he is an official, it is for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. Universally. It's not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! It is an honor to be able to meet a master like Your Majesty! This is the honor of every courtier, the emperor must not bring officials in the region, and he must not be high or low in official positions! ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed and said in a respectful tone: "Sir's teachings, I remember!" ”

Looking at the sincere face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Captain Sun Chengzong was in his arms. Being able to have a good disciple is the hope of every teacher, let alone an emperor.

Glancing at Wang Chengen on the side, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Make a decree!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen replied respectfully, took the holy decree from the side, and said loudly: "Sun Chengzong, the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet, receives the decree!" ”

Sun Chengzong was naturally prepared, and hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Minister Sun Chengzong accepts the order!" ”

The ministers on the side suddenly raised their ears, they all knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse must have given Sun Chengzong another holy decree, but except for a few scholars in the cabinet, no one knew what was written in this holy decree. However, although several cabinet scholars tried their best to hide it, there was still a little envy and jealousy in their expressions, and even a little lost.

Ignoring other people's faces, Wang Chengen gently unfolded the holy decree and read it loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The people and ministers declare their power in the court, and they are also virtuous." In troubled times, the ministers of civil and military affairs forget about themselves and are loyal to the country. Taifu, Dr. Tejin Ronglu, Right Zhuguo, Zhongji Temple Scholar, First Auxiliary Minister, Ministry of Rites Shangshu, Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong, trained the new army in Liaodong, won every battle, spread the country's prestige in Siyi, missionary education in Huawai, and contributed to Sheji. Those who have contributed to the country should be rewarded for their merits. Special Jin Taifu, Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, Right Pillar State, Zhongji Temple University Scholar, First Auxiliary Minister, Ministry of Rites Shangshu, Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong is the Special Jin Guanglu Doctor, Zuo Zhuguo, Jiafeng Prince Young Master, Yin Yizi is the commander of Jinyi Guard! ”

"The minister Sun Chengzong received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Sun Chengzong also had a shock on his face, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to give him such an important reward.

In the text and prose ranks, there are special Ronglu doctors and special Guanglu doctors, although they are all positive products, but these two loose grades are different. The special entrance to Guanglu is called the first special entrance to the Ronglu doctor, and the special entry to the Guanglu doctor is called the promotion of the Guanglu doctor. Although it is not outdated, it is a half-level that many people cannot cross in their lifetime. After being promoted to Guanglu Doctor, Sun Chengzong had no way to advance on the level of Wensan.

The same is true for the later promotion to the Left Pillar Country, although the Right Pillar Country and the Left Pillar Country are both Wenxun, but the emphasis on this is great. If it is said that it is rare to be promoted to Doctor Guanglu, but Doctor Guanglu and Zuo Zhuguo are great rewards, and they must be greatly contributed to the country.

At the official ceremony of the third year of Hongwu, the only people who were awarded the title of Zuozhu Kingdom were Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan Jing, and Li Shanchang, the prince of Korea. Xu Da's Zuo Zhuguo is also a martial artist, and the civil official can be named Zuo Zhuguo but Li Shanchang alone. The rest of the civil officials are all right-pillar countries, including the rumored godlike Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who are not even mixed with a pillar country.

Since Hongwu three years after the great title of meritorious heroes, few people can get the support of the pillar country, and the martial ministers of Jingnan still have the title of the pillar country, but they are all right pillar countries, and many people have to be sealed after death. Wenchen did not. Until the early years of Zhengde, Liu Jian, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, was able to enter the Zuozhu State as a minister of Gu Ming, and his successors Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Liang Kangchu, and Yang Yiqing were also awarded the Zuozhu Kingdom, but because of Emperor Zhengde.

As for the recently crowned Zuo Zhuguo, it was Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of Wanli, and later Shen Shixing. When Zhang Juzheng was in power, Emperor Wanli was still young, and Zhang Juzheng could be said to cover the sky with one hand, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a powerful minister. However, Zhang Juzheng is dedicated to the country. Dedicated to the people, gaining power is not for himself, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng's approach got a strong backlash from Emperor Wanli, and in the end, most of the new policies were also gone. Zhang Juzheng's half-life ideals were as brilliant as summer flowers, but they also withered. For Shen Shixing, many people think that this person has been the first assistant of the cabinet for nine years. The left pillar country was sealed by the number of years.

Thinking back to Zuo Zhuguo in his mind, Sun Chengzong could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Although he also wants to be at the pinnacle of Wenchen and leave his name in history. But when it was really time to give it to himself, Sun Chengzong felt frightened.

Among these rewards, Yin Yizi is the lightest as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in fact, this is also a very generous reward. Commander Wei is already a third-rank military attaché, and this reward can be said to be extremely profound. Besides, the status of Jinyiwei is different. There is only one commander of the Jinyi Guard, and that is Luo Sigong's position The commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Sun Chengzong's son is qualified to take over the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard, but there is probably no way for this to happen. This seemingly affordable reward can only be used as an ornament. First, Sun Chengzong is a civil official, and his son is likely to be born in the right way. Although the commander of the Jinyi Guard is not ashamed. But whether you want to say it or not. Second, Sun Chengzong is already a high and powerful position, if there is another son who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, no one will agree.

Among these rewards, the seemingly inconspicuous one is to crown the crown prince and the prince, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has not yet established a prince, why do you want to give such a title to Sun Chengzong? You must know that there are three divisions and three young people around the prince, and these six people are the most important.

The three divisions and the three young are respectively the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, but the status of the three young masters is not comparable with the third division. Among the three divisions, the crown prince and young master are the highest official positions.

With Sun Chengzong's status, although this prince and master is important, it is not as important as it was in the original sense. The reason why Emperor Tianqi gave Sun Chengzong this official position was because Sun Chengzong was the teacher of Emperor Taichang and the teacher of Emperor Tianqi. If he is the prince's teacher, then Sun Chengzong is the third generation of emperors.

Counting all the rewards, Sun Chengzong is only one step away from the pinnacle of Wenchen, and that is the Taishi. The current Sun Chengzong is a Taifu, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not enter him as a Taishi, which is also for future consideration.

Everyone present had a jaw-dropping feeling, no one could have imagined that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would favor Sun Chengzong to this point. However, many ministers also saw hope, which was exactly what the Emperor of the Apocalypse needed.

Looking at the excited ministers present, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a smile on the corner of his mouth, although Sun Chengzong's reward was very heavy, but in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it was just a false name. Of course, this is not the case in the eyes of civil officials, and these false names are sometimes more important than life.

However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that if Sun Chengzong was allowed to return to the cabinet to be the first assistant, then Sun Chengzong would definitely be another Yan Song who leaned towards the government and the opposition. Although Yan Song and Sun Chengzong are not comparable in terms of character, they are almost the same in terms of power.

For the emperor, the court is monolithic, and it is definitely not a good thing to have such a powerful courtier. The Emperor of the Apocalypse would never let this kind of thing happen, this was absolutely not allowed. Of course, the psychology of the Emperor of the Apocalypse has already been decided, otherwise he would not let Sun Chengzong return to Beijing.

To give Sun Chengzong such an honor, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is to tell all civil officials that those who have contributed to the country will definitely not be stingy with rewards. Let them understand this truth, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse can start preparing for next year's affairs.

When the mood was almost over, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not retain Sun Chengzong for more than two years. What Sun Chengzong wanted to do most was to go home and have a look. Grace allowed Sun Chengzong not to go to the court a year ago, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse returned to the palace with a mighty man.

Although he didn't do anything, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still felt a little tired, as if his body had not been recuperated, and he was very weak.

"Your Majesty, this is the jade porridge sent from the imperial dining room. The temperature is just right, the emperor can eat a little! Wang Chengen respectfully held a small porcelain bowl and brought the jade porridge to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which Wang Chengen ordered the imperial dining room to prepare when he went out.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was indeed hungry, with a little fatigue on his face, he nodded and said, "I drink a little, but I am a little thirsty, you prepare some tea for me!" ”

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has explained. The emperor can't drink tea yet, so the slave and maid prepared water for the emperor to go to the fire! Saying that, Wang Chengen took a porcelain cup from the side, which contained pale yellow water, and I don't know what it was made of.

However, after the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw it, he had a strange feeling, and turned his gaze to the side, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "You go and take this thing away, and I will only drink water in the future, then take him away!" ”

"Yes. Emperor! Wang Chengen didn't know what was going on, but he looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse uncomfortable. Wang Chengen hurriedly took the things away.

After serving it out, Wang Chengen took a look at the yellow thing inside, and the look on his face suddenly became very exciting. However, Wang Chengen is serving the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and pouring the night pot is a piece of cake, not to mention watching this. However, the thought of drinking it, Wang Chengen was still a little disgusted.

"Princess. Is the emperor inside? Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in Wang Chengen's ears, and her tone was very casual, without any politeness.

Wang Chengen could naturally hear whose voice it was, and knelt on the ground without raising his head, and said in a respectful tone: "Nubei has seen the queen mother." Back to the queen's mother, the emperor has just come back and is resting inside. ”

"Got it!" Empress Zhang nodded lightly and walked in, as for Wang Chengen, there was no need to bother except to ask for directions.

When she came to the warm pavilion, Empress Zhang saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor!" ”

Seeing that it was Empress Zhang, the Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand and said, "Orb! Why are you here, Ci Hyun? ”

Zhu Cixuan was named by the Emperor of the Apocalypse for his eldest son, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not know if the son of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was called this name in the real history. However, the fortune teller said that this son lacked fire in the five elements, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse gave his son such a name.

I don't know if it's because of the crossing, or because there is no Wei Zhongxian, the first son of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was stillborn without being born. Until now, it was particularly healthy and lively, which made the Emperor of the Apocalypse breathe a sigh of relief and finally put it on the ground.

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse cared so much about her son, Empress Zhang's face suddenly showed a smile and said, "Cixuan is asleep, the concubine has cooked a bowl of porridge for the emperor, and the emperor will eat it while it is hot!" As he spoke, he beckoned to the palace maid not far away, and a delicate small porcelain bowl was placed on it.

Gently touching Empress Zhang's face, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said distressedly: "You just finished the confinement, don't worry about me here, a good rest is the most important thing." With so many people here every day, nothing will happen! ”

"Your Majesty, these people are unreliable, otherwise there wouldn't have been what happened last time, and the concubine is scared when she thinks about it now!" Empress Zhang shed tears while holding the hand of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

I don't know if it's ready, the tears came so quickly, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse slandered in his heart, but there was a distressed expression on his face. took Queen Zhang's hand and comforted softly.

Wang Chengen, who had just walked into the main hall, was suddenly silent, Empress Zhang was not only the queen, but also deeply favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The most important thing is that the eldest son of the emperor has been born, that is, the future prince, the future emperor, who in the palace is not carefully serving.

I don't know if the Emperor of the Apocalypse's comforting words played a role, or if Empress Zhang felt that it was almost the same, she pouted and picked up the small porcelain bowl on the side, and said with a flush on her face: "Feed the emperor with the concubine!" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the shy Empress Zhang. swallowed and spit, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that after Empress Zhang gave birth, she became more mature and attractive, and she had the posture of a little woman, which made her feel itchy.

Empress Zhang naturally knew what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant, but she just picked up the bowl and fed the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a spoon to drink porridge. It's just that I don't know if it's intentional, I always put the spoon to my mouth and blow it, and the delicate red lips look so tempting.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Empress Zhang with a dull gaze, and swallowed his saliva fiercely, since Empress Zhang was pregnant, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not favor Empress Zhang. Now that the children have come up and down, the two have not been intimate for nearly a year, and this is no longer a small farewell.

However, although Empress Zhang was emotional, she seemed to be thinking about something, and it wasn't until the Emperor of the Apocalypse drank the porridge that she said seemingly casually: "Your Majesty, have you crowned Mr. Sun as the crown prince and teacher today?" Mr. Sun's knowledge and character are all first-class, and he has been an emperor for two generations, he is really the most suitable person, and the emperor really has a vision. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse on the side looked at Empress Zhang without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking! (To be continued......)
