Chapter 153: First-Class Loyal and Brave Uncle

Haonan won the victory of Jinzhou, such a huge contribution is indeed eye-catchingβ€»

In the court, there was a lot of uproar about the Admiral of the North and South Oceans just a few months ago. The aftermath is still there. The open and secret struggle between Huang Liji, the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and Gu Bingqian, the minister and the secretary of the ministry, is still ongoing, and he will take it out for a verbal battle if he has nothing to do.

Huang Liji originally tried to protect Na Haonan as General Pingliao and Admiral of the Nanyang Naval Division, in addition to digging Gu Bingqian's corner, he also had the intention of attracting Deng Haonan to join his command.

What is Hao Nan doing here, the problem is very clear, and he knows that Huang Liji has helped him a lot, so he sent someone to secretly send Huang Liji 30,000 taels of gold. It can be regarded as repaying Huang Liji's kindness.

And Huang Liji tasted the sweetness for the first time. secretly sighed that maritime merchants are really rich, so for Deng Haonan, the god of wealth, Huang Liji does not plan to let go.

That Haonan thought that he could "run rampant and domineering" in the officialdom by relying on heavy bribes, but in fact it didn't work, his actions in Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard, Huang Liji was clear, if it weren't for Huang Liji taking Deng Haonan as his own, he secretly informed the officials of Nanzhili and gave Deng Haonan the green light. Deng Haonan can't be so smooth at all. It's just that Deng Haonan doesn't know about this.

In the last competition, Huang Liji and Gu Shuqian were tied. Now this Golden State victory, Di Haonan's recovery of the Golden Brigade area is the first contribution; Building a fortified city and pacifying 70,000 ordinary people in Liaodong is the second achievement; Block the Houjin army. and the elimination of the Houjin 20,000 Lezi is the third merit; Killing the thief chief Nurhachi is the fourth merit; The eldest son of the thief chief is actually the second son Dai Shan is the fifth merit, so the five major merits are gathered in Di Haonan, and it is enough to pay homage to the marquis.

However, above the court, the two sides fought again.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse was very happy and killed Nurhachi, which was really the most joyful event worth celebrating in the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Youxiao knew that Deng Haonan was a loyal minister, and Tang Jing, the brocade guard in front of the palace, came back to report the relationship between the little seventh prince and Deng Haonan, so based on his trust in the little seventh father, he tended to reward Deng Haonan and cited him as foreign aid.

"All loves, the previous Ning Yuan's great victory, that Haonan made a great contribution, this time the Golden State victory, made five huge contributions, for such a loyal minister, the Union will not be bad, must be rewarded."

"Where is the Book of Rites? According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how should Deng Jiang Nan be rewarded? ”

"Wechen is here!"

Li Guo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out of class, glanced at Huang Liji secretly, and saw Huang Liji nodded, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, the merits of that Haonan this time should be given a certificate and entrusted with a heavy responsibility!" ”

With a buzz, the hall suddenly chattered.

Feng Gong? This was something that the officials of the Ming Dynasty could hardly have imagined.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son of the prince was established at the age of ten, and the eldest grandson was established as the grandson. The crown and clothing are regarded as a product; The sons were ten years old. then he was named the king of the county; The eldest son of the county king is the prince of the county; The eldest grandson is awarded to the eldest grandson; The crown and clothing are regarded as two products; The princes were awarded the general of the town and the country, from the first product; General Sun Fuguo, from the second grade; Great-grandson General Bongguo. From the second grade; Lieutenant Sun Zhenguo of the 4th Generation; From the four pins. Lieutenant of the 5th Sun Fuguo, from the 5th grade; The sixth and below are all lieutenants of the country from the sixth rank. The first prince's year was set at 50,000 stones, and later the prince's age was reduced to 10,000 stones, the county king was 2,000 stones, and the general of Zhenguo was 1,000 stones. Eight hundred stone for the general of the auxiliary state, six hundred stone for the general of Fengguo, four hundred stone for the lieutenant of Zhenguo, three hundred stone for the general of the auxiliary state, and two hundred stone for the general of Fengguo. In addition, a large amount of land was given, and some princes even reached tens of thousands of hectares.

The Ming Dynasty also read the system of the previous dynasty, and the fifth rank of the lord was awarded the meritorious relatives, and the later leather and male, only the duke, the marquis, and the third class were left, and customized: "All the lords are not allowed to be sealed if they are not for military merit, and the title is not for special purposes." ”

There are two kinds of knighthoods, one is only granted for life. The second is that it can be hereditary, hereditary or not, depending on the size of the military merits, all of which will be given coupons. In addition to those who have military merits, those who can also get the title of title are Yan Shenggong, a descendant of Confucius in Qufu, and those who have been awarded for their grace, such as the captain of the horse and the relatives, but they are only given edicts and not coupons. Different from the previous dynasties, the dukes, marquis, and earls of the Ming Dynasty only had the title of lord and the food of Lu, and there were no fiefdoms.

The knighthood of the Ming Dynasty is difficult to obtain, Zhu Yuanzhang has set a dead rule, all knights are not allowed to be awarded for military merits, and titles are not allowed to be given unless they are specially intended, which is destined to be difficult to obtain the title of the Ming Dynasty, especially Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are pursuing a national policy of defense, so it is difficult for the military industry to accumulate to the point of giving a knight.

The reason why the Houjin of Liaodong became the black hole of the Ming court was that these court officials wanted to take the opportunity to seek political interests. Among them, there are many who want to take the opportunity to be crowned princes. It's a pity that after sitting on the throne, none of the descendants of these ministers were able to defeat their godsons and get the title.

Now that they have been done by Na Haonan, a strange little boy, they have overturned the five flavors in their hearts.

When Gu Bingqian, the minister and secretary of the ministry, saw what Li Guo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said, he immediately knew that it was the meaning of Huang Liji, the first assistant.

Gu Bingqian naturally couldn't let Huang Liji succeed. Since Huang Liji regarded Deng Haojiao as his person, Gu Bingqian would not leave Deng Haonan. Deng Haonan can't be allowed to sit big.

"Emperor Chenqi, Deng Haonan's contribution is naturally very large, and it is not an exaggeration to be crowned. But Deng Haonan is only sixteen years old this year, and it is a bit abrupt to be crowned a prince at such a young age, and there has never been a precedent in all dynasties for non-imperial relatives to be crowned a prince at the age of sixteen! ”

Shoufu Huang Liji said: "The emperor is Mingjian! Qin Youganluo was twelve years old and worshiped the prime minister, so the minister thought that there was nothing abrupt! ”

Zhu Youxiao saw that the two of them pinched again. So he turned to other dignitaries to ask.

The Ministry of Works' Shangshu Lai Zong said that "the minister seconded the proposal! ”

Cheng Xiu, who was still the secretary of the military department, said: "The emperor thinks twice, if Deng Haonan is named a duke now, if that Haonan makes great contributions in the future, won't he be crowned king?" "Chuan'er, the words of the drought show are very sharp and exquisite, and the sauce is clear in ten words. It is also the most feared issue for the royal family.

That's right!

If Na Haonan is named a duke, what if Di Haonan makes another great contribution?

Zhu Youxiao had to think!

Huang Liji and the others immediately scolded the bastard in their hearts. Originally, these days, they thought that Cheng Xiu and Wei Zhongxian had parted ways, and wanted to take the opportunity to win over Cheng Xiu to join the gang.

Unexpectedly, this urging Chengxiu was just using Wei Zhongxian to advance, and now he is faintly preparing to compete for Huang Liji's position as the first assistant.

In fact, what Huang Liji didn't know was that the reason why Chengxiu was blocking was mainly because Deng Haonan violated his secret order that he was not allowed to take the initiative to provoke several children.

On the one hand, urging Chengxiu to serve as the secretary of the military department. Every year, he has to eat more than half of Liaodong's military salary, and once Lezi is finished, he will drink the northwest wind? On the other hand. Urging Chengxiu is Deng Haonan's direct boss, and Na Haonan disregarded his opposition to attack Liaodong, which is disobedience, so he is not with him, so Urging Chengxiu naturally can't let Na Haonan sit big.

There is also once that Hao Nan was crowned duke. Then he, the secretary of the military department, really has no way to take Deng Haonan. Just ask your subordinates to manage a super-grade master, just like asking him to manage the prince's son. Tube? Isn't that a blockage for him? Uncomfortable?

Therefore, in a hurry for these reasons, Urging Chengxiu naturally wanted to drag Huang Liji back.

If you urge Chengxiu, it is very important that Cheng dΓΉ is equivalent to Wei Zhongxian's words. Because Wei Zhongxian rarely spoke in the court, and did not give Qingliu, Yushi, and inspectors any excuse to impeach him, so as the number two person in the eunuch party, the eunuch officials in the imperial court all acted in the direction of urging Chengxiu at this time.

"The ministers seconded the opinion of the Minister of War!"

The eunuchs stood with Gu Bingqian and other ministers. Huang Liji Group felt bad.

However, this qiΔ“ has the final decision. It's all in Zhu Youxiao's place.

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed with the opinion of urging Chengxiu.

"Hua Haonan is still young, and he should have more experience."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Huang Liji Group was disappointed, while Gu Bingqian Group won a small victory. Round.

Although Wei Zhongxian didn't know much about that Haonan. But Deng Haonan gave him 500,000 taels of silver. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian neither nodded nor shook his head, but just waited and watched. In his opinion. Na Hao Nan became his henchman. In the future, there is time to promote. However, if Deng Haonan is Huang Liji's henchman, you must be careful. Because of Huang Liji, they are not with Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youxiao continued: "However, that Haonan has made a lot of contributions, and he still has to be rewarded appropriately!" He gave him a first-class loyal and brave uncle, and he sealed 3,000 households. Give the title of General of the Great Expedition! ”

First-class loyal and brave uncle, eating and sealing 3,000 households, this is already the emperor's grace, and he envies a large number of them.

The ministers shouted in unison: "The emperor is sage! ”

Nasa Rikichi was defeated. round, naturally can't stop. "Your Majesty! Deng Haonan has more than 100,000 people, all of whom are funded by Deng Haonan himself! Although they are loyal to the imperial court now, if the imperial court does not say anything, it will inevitably make them centrifuge! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked, "What is Aiqing's good plan?" ”

Huang Liji replied: "It is necessary to reward the three armies!" Meritorious generals have to be promoted, but a small Pingliao general is a little cold! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is extremely true!" ”

Huang Liji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Deng Haonan has made such a great achievement, although he can't be given a higher title, but his talent can't be buried, so the minister thinks that he can be entrusted with a heavy task!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded frequently, he was just going to reuse Deng Haonan and introduce him as foreign aid, so he said: "What position does Aiqing think it is good to appoint him?" ”

Huang Liji said: "That Haonan was able to defeat the shoes, thanks to the attack of the waterway army!" The armament of the Beiyang Navy Division was slack, and for many years it was allowed to run rampant with shoes, which made the people of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty in dire straits. Therefore, at present, Na Hao Nan has achieved extraordinary results in leading the Nanyang Naval Division, and Deng Hao's father Deng Zilong is the deputy governor of my Chaoshui Division, and Wei Chen thought that Na Hao Nan would lead the Daming Naval Division, rule the north and south oceans, and reproduce the glory of the ancestor Yongle, so as to make the emperor famous all over the world! ”

As soon as the words fell, it was like a bomb exploding in calm water, causing a shocking wave.

Gu Bingqian and the others suddenly twitched. I thought that Huang Feiji's move was really ruthless. It was in the heart of Xizong, and it was said that it reached Zhu Youxiao's heart.

Sure enough, when Xizong Zhu Youxiao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Every emperor felt the greatest satisfaction that his prestige could reach the four seas and cross the oceans. The emperors of all dynasties had no worries about food and clothing, and had the greatest power, but there was only one reputation left, but this reputation was the most difficult to obtain.

Zheng He went to the West, which was the main reason why the Yongle Emperor was able to prestige all over the world. If that Haonan can also help Xizong Zhu Youxiao do it, then

Gu Bingqian saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly interrupted Zhu Youxiao's train of thought, and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qi, Deng Haonan once worked under the Fujian pirate Yan Siqi and worked with Zheng Zhilong, so he can't hand over all the imperial court sailors to Deng Haonan, in case Deng Haonan has different intentions, it will be too late to regret it!" ”

Huang Liji suddenly rolled his eyes angrily, this Gu Bingqian is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, it seems that he has already inquired about Deng Haonan's details.

"Your Majesty, after that Haonan is a loyal minister, although he has done things under Yan Siqi, but he only stayed for a few months, when that Haonan found out that Yan Siqi was a pirate and not a maritime merchant, Lixuan led his troops to draw a line with Yan Siqi!"

Gu Bingqian said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable! This Di Haonan still needs to be investigated for a while, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable! ”

What the two of them said made sense, and for a while Zhu Youxiao was not decided, so he asked Xiang Xianxiu.

"Rush to show up, you

Urging Chengxiu knew that when it came to the issue of the sailor. It involves Wei Zhongxian's share of the benefits in the Lu Gang, and he has not eaten the offerings of the Lu Gang, so he still has to speak for Gu Bingqian.

"Wei Chen thinks that Master Gu's words make sense! The heart of defense is indispensable, and it is safer to have a Beiyang sailor to contain the Nanyang sailor! ”

Zhu You didn't read much of the school books, and there were no military books at all, so the words of the military department were naturally for reference.

So he said to Huang Liji: "Put the matter of the water master on hold first!" ”

Huang Liji ruthlessly counted Gu Bingqian and Xu Chengxiu in his heart, but among the six ministers, four were opposed, and Huang Liji had no choice.

Lost again in the second round! But Huang Liji refused to admit defeat, and continued: "Your Majesty, even if you don't integrate the water division, Deng Haonan's subordinates will be rewarded!" ”

"Nature is to be rewarded!" Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked, "More than 100,000 people, how much money do you need to allocate to be appropriate?" ”

Hubu Shangshu Ye replied to Gao Deban: "The will of the first emperor." Kill the thief chief Nurhachi, be rewarded with 500,000 taels, seal 10,000 households, kill the four great beylers, reward 200,000 taels, seal 1,000 households, and kill 20,000 wheels; Reward 1 million taels! Fold together. plus the reward for the three armies after the big victory, a total of two million taels of silver! ”

There was a buzz, and there was a commotion in the hall again.

It's a lot of oil and water, and the courtiers' eyes are hot!

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "If this is the case, then reward two million taels to the Pingliao Army!" ”

Just when the ministers were all hot, Shangshu Ye Xianggao of the household department said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the household has no money!" ”

No money?

Yes!

Since the defeat of the Ming army in Sarhu, in order to cope with the pressing of his godson, the family funds left by Wanli have been empty, and the treasury has been exhausted. Annually. The Ming court borrowed the next year's taxes to make up, and now the next year's financial revenue has also been spent, so naturally there is no money.

After hearing Ye Xianggao's explanation, Zhu Youxiao was dumbfounded, the household department of the dignified Ming Empire had no money, and this spread out. His face was disgraced.

"Wei Zhongjiang!"

"The slave is here!"

"How many more are there in Ran Chang?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "There are often three thousand taels of gold in it. 300,000 taels of silver! ”

All the ministers, look at me, I look at you, shocked that the emperor has such a small amount of money. But they were glad in their hearts, because they were finally richer than the emperor.

All right! Just a little satisfaction of their perverted sense of superiority!

Zhu Youxiao said in his heart: These money are only the expenses for maintaining the palace, so naturally Wei Zhongxian doesn't want to pay out of his pocket.

Shoufu Huang Liji said: "Emperor Qiqi, if you don't even give out the reward, you will only give Di Haonan a gift." Empty title, I'm afraid it's chilling! ”

The secretary of the military department urged Chengxiu to suddenly say at this time: "Since that Haonan has taken Jinzhou Wei and built a city in Jinzhou Wei, he has spent a lot of his own money, if he doesn't say it, it does seem that the court is stingy!" ”

Zhu Youxiao sighed: "But at present, the imperial court has no money to reward, and even his military salaries of more than 100,000 people can't be paid, how can it be good?" ”

Urging Chengxiu glanced at Huang Liji, he was not enough to compete with Gu Bingqian at the moment, even if he tripped Huang Liji, it was Gu Bingqian who was the first assistant, so he couldn't offend Huang Liji too much" I have to give Huang Liji sweetness and win over Huang Liji to suppress Gu Bingqian. Let Huang Liji hate Gu Bingqian and let the two of them fight each other to the death.

So he said, "This is easy to do!" As long as Deng Haonan is allowed to open a mansion in Liaodong, then the court will not have to worry about the cost, and Deng Haonan can only raise his own military salary in Liaodong after opening the mansion! ”

is worthy of urging the show, it is really a role, no wonder he has become the second person in the eunuch party, and he really has real skills.

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youxiao and Huang Liji were overjoyed. Gu Bingqian was depressed.

This urged Chengxiu to give Huang Liji and Gu Bingqian a stick each, and then jumped out of the matter and threw the headache to the two of them, obviously sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

However, both of them knew in their hearts that there was no way to urge Chengxiu.

Let Deng Haonan open the mansion by himself, and according to the "glorious tradition" of self-sufficiency of the Ming army, the imperial court must pay Deng Haonan a military salary.

What a clever move!

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but nod at the urging show. Full of appreciation. However, thinking of such a talent as Xuan Chengxiu, he fell to the eunuch party, which couldn't help but make Zhu Youxiao reflect on his mistakes.

It seems that Lian needs to change tactics against Wei Zhongxian. Otherwise, those who have the ability in this court will either be excluded and assassinated, or they will all fall to Wei Zhongxian. It's not good for Daming!

This is your own country!

Zhu Youxiao secretly decided in his heart that he couldn't let Wei Zhongxian be so arrogant anymore, and it was time to stop him.

At present, Na Haonan is an opportunity, use him as a foreign aid, enter the king of Jingqin, and then Xiao Qi will quit his drug addiction, plus the Donglin Party has collapsed. The power of the imperial court will return to the hands of the emperor, and everything will be back on track.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up suddenly. Wei Zhongxian, who had been observing him secretly, was secretly surprised, and a trace of fierceness and coldness also flashed in his eyes.

"The Ministry of Rites is intended!"

What is the purpose of the Ministry of Rites?

Did you hear that right?

Shouldn't it be the eunuch Wei Zhongxian?

Could it be that the emperor is ready to return the right to draft decrees to the cabinet?

All the husbands and ministers were taken aback, looked at Wei Zhongxian, and when they saw Wei Zhongxian's calm appearance, they all slowly bowed their heads and remained silent.

Shangshu Ye Xianggao of the Ministry of Rites was stunned for a moment, and a trace of excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said, "The minister is here!" ”
