The rewards and punishments are clear, so that the people below can do things more attentively, which is the way of the superior people, and even the high Chongzhen is no exception.

Although he was angry about the failure of the bandits, and Jinyiwei was even more imprisoned, he couldn't help but reward those who had merit, otherwise who would give his life to the old Zhu family? Lu Haoshan withdrew from the battlefield in late October, and now it has been almost two months, and after the righteous army crosses the Yellow River, the suppression of bandits will continue, but the rewards and punishments can not be delayed any longer, and the meritorious heroes will not be rewarded, doesn't that make the soldiers of the world chill?

Just on the occasion of the Chinese New Year, this holy finger finally fell.

Poured the strength of several provinces to suppress the bandits, that is, the Beijing battalion soldiers also sent two general soldiers to lead the team, but I didn't expect to let the bandits escape from the encirclement and continue to plague the Ming Dynasty, it is said that after hearing this news, Chongzhen, who has always been not very good-tempered, threw all the things that could be dropped in the imperial study, and then Jinyi Wei came out to arrest it, and showed its claws and fangs to the officials who were ineffective in Chongzhen's eyes, many people were terrified when they heard the holy decree, but Lu Haoshan was an exception, because he knew that this holy decree was just a reward.

The last battle was a bloody battle flying to the peak, all the staff were wounded, and the whole army was almost wiped out, and when the news came out, even the imperial court was alarmed, and others just wanted to slander and couldn't do it.

As soon as he heard that the holy decree was coming, Zhao Min was more anxious than Lu Haoshan, and hurriedly helped Lu Haoshan comb his hair and change clothes, and then urged Lu Haoshan to pick up the saint.

"Husband, this time the emperor is going to promote you to an official, right?" Before going out, Zhao Min said expectantly.

"I almost took my life, and if I don't get promoted, I won't do it." Lu Haoshan pretended to be straight and said.

Zhao Min smiled, pinched Lu Haoshan's waist, and pushed him out of the door.

Reading the holy decree is a very sacred thing, Lu Haoshan burned incense and prayed under the guidance of Li Nian, fortunately, it was not the first time in this matter, and he had the experience of the last time. This time I was naturally much more proficient, and after waiting for a long time, the eunuch who read the holy decree came, and it was a eunuch who was about forty years old.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, Sichuan Wenchong Qianhu Lu Wenhua, both civil and military, loyal and patriotic. When the bandits were raging, he led the army to go on the expedition, traveled thousands of miles, cherished the people, fought bravely to kill the enemy, left the name of bravery, and recited the voice of benevolence and righteousness in the place where he left. In the face of ten times the number of enemies, he was still able to calmly respond to the battle, fought bloodily for four days and nights, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and raised the prestige of our Ming soldiers. Can sing, can cry, can sing, now folded to the post of commander of the Lizhou Guard, a special reward of 1,000 taels of silver, a set of imperial mountain armor, a treasure knife, a treasure bow, a hundred palace silk, 100 palace silk. Those who were wounded and killed in battle will be rewarded with another reward, and I hope to make persistent efforts. Contribute to the country, admire this. ”

With a long sentence of "Qin this", after the reading of the holy decree, Lu Haoshan hurriedly called "Thank you, Lord Longen", and then took the holy decree with both hands, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Yes, from a thousand households to the commander of the guard, this is a military attache of the third grade, in this way, Lu Haoshan jumped to become the supreme leader of Lizhou Wei, and the soldiers under his command have also risen from more than 1,000 people to more than 5,000 at once, of course, Lu Haoshan has about 3,000 troops in his hands, or elite soldiers, so that the soldiers under his command will suddenly become a fair and honest store.

What Lu Haoshan cares about is not the extra bit of rice and grain every month, but the power in his hands swelling again.

Even after a few promotions, Lu Haoshan was a little surprised, especially the original credit for Feilaifeng was given to Wang Pu, but there was no mention in the holy decree, one thing is obvious, Wang Puzhu accepted the fraudulent surrender of the righteous army as a representative, and the righteous army reversed, and the great achievement suddenly became a big disaster, and the imperial court that had spent so much effort would not let him go, and Chongzhen would definitely not let him have a good time.

I don't know if Han Wendeng has contributed here.

Chongzhen, who has always been slamming the door, suddenly rewarded so generously, probably because he saw that he led his subordinates to be isolated in Feilai Peak, and the friendly troops were passive rescuers and suffered heavy casualties, so he compensated in terms of reward.

"Hehe, the miscellaneous family is here to congratulate Commander Lu on his promotion." After handing over the decree to Lu Haoshan, the eunuch who announced the decree smiled and congratulated.

Commander Wei is a military attache of the third grade, and it is also worthy of this eunuch and the color is relative, and the reward is still in the hands of others, from the capital to Sichuan, the mountains and rivers are far away, the ancient saying is cloudy, Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, and it is not easy to get an errand, but you can't go in vain.

Lu Haoshan has long been very proficient in these, and gently stuffed a bag of silver that had been prepared a long time ago into the hands of the eunuch, and said with a smile: "There is a father-in-law, I don't know the surname of the father-in-law." ”

It seems that I still don't know what the name of the eunuch who announced this decree is, it doesn't seem to be very polite, the eunuchs are mostly some rat-bellied characters, offending it may give you some stumbling block, more than one thing is better than one less.

"Miscellaneous families are free of expensive, surnamed Deng." The bag of silver was heavy enough and weighty, and the attitude of the newly promoted conductor was respectful enough, and this Gonggong Deng was very satisfied.

Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gonggong Deng, and I hope Gonggong Deng will take care of him." ”

"Care? Commander Lu is a member of the three grades, and the miscellaneous family is just a servant of the emperor's side, so it is Lord Lu who takes care of him. After speaking, Gonggong Deng lowered his voice and said: "The miscellaneous family heard that Wang Pu also wanted to take the credit of Lord Lu, and was later found out by Jinyi Wei, and the emperor personally ordered a reward, Lord Lu is so blessed, even the emperor remembers you, and over time, you will definitely be able to rise to prominence." ”

Sure enough, it was the same as he guessed, after Wang Pu fell, all the credit that belonged to him was returned, and there was another point, because of the battle of Feilaifeng, he also let Chongzhen see his name, and now there are about 500 Wei commanders in Daming, and it is really not easy for him to leave an impression on Chongzhen.

Yes, a hundred taels to hear so much news, it's worth it.

After a few more polite words, Lu Haoshan led a group of people to respectfully send Gonggong Deng out of the Thousand Households.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Lord Hexi, from now on, this Lizhou Wei will change his surname to Lu." After the decree was announced, Li Nian was the first to congratulate Lu Haoshan, looking at his eyebrows, as if he had been promoted.

This is understandable, as a master, it is natural that Dong Weng's status is higher, and the status of the master is also rising with the tide, which is called a glory and glory. One loss is lost, Li Nian is sincerely happy for Lu Haoshan.

"Congratulations on your ascension."

"Great, in the future, the adults will leave sideways in Lizhouwei."

"Lord Qianhu, no, it's the commander who makes the adults right, don't forget the brothers."

"That is, the villain is willing to go to the soup for the adult."

Zhao Gongchang, Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong, Dashan and others hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate, after all, this is a great progress, although they were injured, but it was worth it.

Lu Haoshan is also in a good mood. smiled and said a few polite words to everyone, and announced that everyone would have a share in the evening, and everyone naturally cheered in unison when they heard the words, and Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan, who were standing aside, also had a look of joy and pride in their eyes.

The crowd returned to the lobby. Zhao Min looked at the palace silk and palace silk piled up on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Husband, what to do with these things?" ”

Lu Haoshan thought about it, and quickly said with a smile: "You and Yuexuan pick a few horses by yourself." The rest will be rewarded to the soldiers under his command, and everyone will be happy. ”

"Good" Now Zhao Min can be said to be obedient to Lu Haoshan.

As soon as he had dealt with the rewards, a man quickly ran in and reported, "Your Excellency. Mr. Sima came to visit. ”

Sima Jing? This is Han Wendeng's military advisor and Han Wendeng's number one staff, this is a pivotal figure. It is said that not sticking to the mud is the prototype of Han Wendeng's thoughts, but it is really behind the scenes is the unknown Sima Jing, as soon as Menzi said that Mr. Sima was visiting, Lu Haoshan immediately guessed him.

When I came back, I was supposed to go to pay homage to Han Wendeng, but there were too many things in the Qianhu Office, and it was a little hurt, so I wrote a letter and sent it to the Han Mansion with a generous gift, but I didn't expect that the New Year was about to come, and this Sima Jing came to the door in person.

"Where's Mr. Sima?"

"If you go back to your lordship, you're still waiting at the front door."

"Quick, invite him in, no, I'll meet him myself." Lu Haoshan said as he hurriedly went to greet Sima Jing.

Sima Jing has no official rank and no taste, on the surface he is just a reader who reads poetry and books, but in fact, he can influence Han Wendeng's decision-making, and this alone cannot be treated sloppily.

Lu Haoshan ordered the main door to be opened, personally welcomed Sima Jing in, and after being polite, he invited him into the study, and after letting people serve good tea, he retreated left and right, and then said respectfully: "I don't know if Mr. Sima has arrived, it's really a disappointment." ”

"Hehe, Sima heard that Lord Lu was promoted to the commander of the guard, and he came to celebrate." Sima Jing said with a smile.

You just blow it, just after announcing the holy decree here, Sima Jing, who is far away in Chengdu, will fly over immediately? This holy decree has taken so long to arrive, it should be to communicate with Han Wendeng, or before he is on the road, Han Wendeng knows it through his own channels, this time, it is estimated that there is any arrangement.

"Mr. Sima, don't make fun of Lu" Lu Haoshan said with a wry smile: "There are so many rewards for this promotion, all of which are beyond Lu's expectations, and there is no accident that Lord Han has contributed a lot from it, Lu is terrified, and he doesn't know how to repay the commander for his kindness." ”

Sima Jing touched the beard on his chin, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, nodded and said: "That's right, that Wang Pu is down, but those credits, but it can be said that it is yours, it can also be said that it belongs to others, Lord Han values you very much, and Commander Lu has contributed a lot to the post of commander of Lizhou Wei, and he has also sold a lot of favors." ”

"What about Commander Dong?" Lu Haoshan said with some surprise.

The commander of Lizhou Wei turned out to be Dong Jian, if he became the commander of Lizhou Wei, what would Dong Jian do? Although he lost the battle, under the operation of Lu Haoshan and Han Wensheng, although he was defeated, he was still honored, and the credit obtained by Lu Haoshan also scored Dong Jian, even if he couldn't be promoted, at least he wouldn't fall, right?

"Commander Dong has now been transferred to the commander of the capital, so you will be the commander of this Lizhou Guard, well, it is estimated that Commander Lu is the youngest commander of my guard in Sichuan." Sima Jing said with a smile.

Lu Haoshan suddenly realized, thinking that there are really people in the court who are easy to do, and the Wei Commander is transferred to the capital to command the affairs, and the grades are all three grades, but it is obvious that the commanders are closer to the center of power, and Han Wenden is covered, this matter is only temporary, maybe soon Chengdu will be in command of the same knowledge, if Han Wensheng can enter the Governor's Mansion or something, this Dong Jian will change his body and become the commander of the capital.

In this Ming Dynasty, it is also very important to fight for his father, although this Dong Jian is a mediocre talent, but his father's vision is good, he found a good daughter-in-law for him, and he is kind to the Han family.

From here, the law and order collapsed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and people like Dong Jian were able to ascend to the throne, indicating that the imperial court's control over the local area declined.

"Don't dare, this is all the cultivation of Lord Han" Lu Haoshan said with a straight face: "In the future, Lord Han will point out, Lu will never dare to resign, and he is willing to go to the soup for Lord Han." ”

When the holy decree arrived, Sima Jing appeared "in time", obviously implying that Han Wendeng had contributed to it, and now Lu Hao still needs the big tree of Han Wendeng, so he naturally needs to express his position in time to show that he is not a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed.

Regarding Lu Haoshan's "on the road", Sima Jing nodded to express his satisfaction, took a sip of the teacup, and then said in a deep voice: "Lord Lu, Sima Mou came this time, in addition to congratulations, there are some small things to discuss with Lord Lu. ”

When the business came, Lu Haoshan's face turned pale, and he said with a straight face: "Mr. Sima, please give me something." (To be continued......)
