Chapter 131: Paying Respects to the Marquis
Bai Gui, the governor of Guangdong, hurriedly found Ye Mingchen and whispered: "After a test, all the dead and wounded foreign soldiers were killed by people with strong martial arts, and their bones were shattered. People with broken internal organs can be seen everywhere, there are only a handful of people in Guangzhou who have such skills, and it just so happens that there are only more than ten murderers, and the lower officials suspect that it was done by the gang of people known as the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, do you want to send troops to arrest them and torture them! ”
Ye Mingchen shook his head, waved his hand and said: "It's really troublesome for them to do it, each of the Ten Tigers in Guangdong has countless apprentices, we rashly do it, it is likely to force them to rebel, now Guangdong is not calm, all prefectures and counties have reports of party uprisings, if Guangzhou is chaotic again, the consequences are unimaginable!" ”
Bai Gui nodded understandingly, and also sighed: "I didn't expect to attract short hair, but I offended the foreigners, and if I don't give the foreigners an explanation, I'm afraid the foreigners will not give up, and the governor should think twice!" ”
Ye Mingchen has his own method for foreigners: "These foreigners are so foolish, just find two death row prisoners and hand them over, in our eyes, foreigners all look the same, in their eyes, we people in the Qing Dynasty all look the same." ”
Bai Gui smiled: "I hope so, the foreigners have suffered this loss, they can't say it, according to the lower officials, the murderers are masked, and the foreigners are also ants on the hot pot, and they are in a hurry." ”
Ye Mingchen took out an official document and handed it to Bai Gui: "There is news from Guangxi, Zhu Hongying and Hu Youlu of the Hui Party have made an incident in Nanning, and the anti-thieves are huge, and they will soon gather more than 100,000 people and are developing eastward, and it seems that they intend to join Shorthair in Guangdong!" ”
When Bai Gui heard that there were 100,000 rebels, he was flustered and lost his mind: "Could it be that the short hair didn't attack Guangdong because the troops were weak." Waiting for the anti-thieves in Guangxi? ”
Ye Mingchen smiled bitterly: "You're right, the spies are here to report." The main force of the short-haired has withdrawn north, and only 20,000 or 30,000 people remain in Fujian. It's been a bluff this month. ”
Bai Gui suddenly realized: "There are also rumors in Guangdong Province that the Heaven and Earth Society is about to start an incident, this short-haired appetite is really big, only more than 20,000 people are like conquering Guangdong and Guangxi, now we want to attack Fujian, recovering Fujian is a great achievement." ”
Ye Mingchen shook his head and refused, and secretly sighed: It's easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat! Today's recovery of Fujian is certainly a great achievement, tomorrow we will recover Zhejiang, Jiangsu, once defeated, in the end it is not to be beheaded! At the beginning, the former governor Xu Guangjin was confused for a while. led his troops to pursue Changmao, and now he is trapped in Sichuan, in a dilemma.
Bai Gui saw that the general Ye Mingchen was silent, and retracted his words of persuasion in disappointment, this Ye Mingchen did not leave Guangdong, and he would not be able to sit in the position of the governor of Liangguang, and proposed: "Now that the regimental training is all deployed in the east to guard against the short hair, is it not to draw out some troops and horses to go to Guangxi to support." ”
Ye Mingchen instructed: "You arrange it as soon as possible." We must not let the rogues from Guangxi invade Guangdong, and besides, the foreigners are really angry this time, and more than 50 people have died. More than 20 people were wounded, which is greater than the loss during the initial battle, maybe they will really bombard Guangzhou in anger and shame! ”
Bai Gui said: "Don't worry, my lord. The lower official went to appease the foreigners. ”
Ye Mingchen stopped Bai Gui again and added: "Don't agree to any conditions put forward by foreigners. If you can delay it, you can rely on it. There is no need to be ashamed of them. ”
Lu Jianying saw that Li Hongzhang was moved, but he seemed to have a layer of concern, and continued to persuade: "What do you think of Fan Wencheng Fan Taifu when this dynasty was founded?" ”
Li Hongzhang said without hesitation: "Fan Taifu was born in the fourth Qing Dynasty and the three masters, and made immortal contributions to the Qing Dynasty's entry into China, his exploits can be compared with Zhang Hongfan of the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. ”
Lu Jianying said: "Today, you and I are here to evaluate Mrs. Fan, but do you know that no one will evaluate you and me like this in the future?" If you are loyal to the Qing Dynasty today, you are a nobody, and there is no tyranny in the Han Dynasty, and the emperor is wise and decisive no less than the Holy Ancestor and Gaozong, and assisting such a Holy Monarch is exactly what our scholars dream of! ”
Li Hongzhang hesitated, and twisted: "From the top of the eyes, the solution of the imperial mink fur said: 'Mr. has no cold'?" ”
Lu Jianying's face was embarrassed, this sentence was said by Huang Taiji to Hong Chengchou, which reminded him of the insult he received in the inner city, and his face was unhappy, what is it difficult for you Li Hongzhang to surrender, but he chose Hong Chengchou, isn't it to expose my scars!
Li Yunzhong looked at Chang Dachun, who was full of anger, and said depressedly: "Didn't Aiqing convince Li Hongzhang either?" He's so stubborn! ”
Chang Dachun said angrily: "This Li Hongzhang is the stone in the dung pit is smelly and hard, and Weichen has persuaded him with good words several times, but not only does he not appreciate it, but he also ...... Also insulted Wei Chen. ”
Li Yunzhong looked at Chang Dachun, who was blushing and bearded, and asked, "Then Lu Shangshu has success?" ”
Chang Dachun said embarrassedly: "Weichen doesn't know, Weichen was confused at that time, Lord Lu can speak well, and he will definitely be able to persuade Li Hongzhang, and the emperor doesn't have to worry." ”
Li Yunzhong sighed: "What Aiqing said is very true, Li Hongzhang is not a person who eats the ancients, I hope Lu Aiqing can persuade him to succeed, don't talk about this, Aiqing has thought about changing positions?" ”
Chang Dachun's face was disappointed, thinking that the emperor was disappointed that he did not persuade Li Hongzhang to surrender, and wanted to condemn him, so he said miserably: "Weichen admits punishment, please make it clear!" ”
Li Yunzhong said: "What's wrong with Ai Luqing, I think that the Han should also establish a cabinet, and watch the concert all day long, but I am really busy, I don't want to be like Zhu Yuanzhang, Aiqing is a household servant, and the grade does not seem to meet the conditions for entering the cabinet, so I appointed you as a scholar of Chaoyang Palace and entered the cabinet to deal with political affairs." ”
Chang Dachun was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't expect the coveted phase to be in front of him, and hurriedly thanked: "Wechen is ashamed, although he is only a shallow learner, he will definitely do his best to serve the emperor and repay the emperor's grace." ”
Morning meeting
Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "The founding emperors of all dynasties have divided their feudal princes, and the Han Dynasty is no exception. ”
"Shame on you!"
Li Yunzhong said: "This reward is only about military merits, not for others, people with outstanding military achievements can be crowned marquis, no military merits are temporarily let go, and the title is temporarily set as Hou, Uncle, Son, Male Fourth, etc., do you have any opinions?" ”
Lu Jianying echoed: "It should be so, the emperor is wise." ”
Li Yunzhong handed over the holy decree of reward to Chang Dachun, who took it with both hands and read: "Hubu Shangshu Mengsheng and I met in the township, married Jinlan, overcame thorns and thorns, was loyal, awarded first-class merit, and was named Pingnan Marquis."

The remaining generals who have meritorious service will be awarded third-class merit and fourth-class merit by the cabinet decision, and the titles will be viscount and baron. ”
Lu Jianying asked the question he was most concerned about: "Your Majesty, is the cabinet modeled after the cabinet of the former Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Yes, I think the functions of the cabinet are still good, but the power is not as big as the former Ming Dynasty, I imitated the Ming Dynasty and set up the Huagai Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, East Pavilion, Wenhua Palace, and Chaoyang Palace, Taiji Palace, a total of seven scholars, into the cabinet to participate in politics." Li Yunzhong paused, and added: "After the establishment of the cabinet, all the political affairs in the Wenyuan Pavilion were handled, and the first assistant was set up as the foreman. ”
Chang Dachun was excited, he was a scholar of Chaoyang Palace, ranked sixth! Catching a glimpse of Lu Jianying's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he bowed down and asked, "Dare to ask the emperor, is there anyone in the cabinet?" ”
Li Yunzhong replied: "The cabinet candidates have been decided, but unlike the former Ming Dynasty, the cabinet minister has a term of office, the term of office is four years, and he can be re-elected for up to three consecutive terms. ”
The ministers looked at each other, they had never heard that the ministers still had a term of office, it seemed that it was to avoid officials forming a party to attack, and the former Ming Dynasty died because of this, the emperor's whimsical ideas are really not something that mortals can speculate.
Li Yunzhong saw that there was no opposition below, and continued: "Lu Jianying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is highly respected and talented, and he was promoted to a scholar of Huagai Palace, and he was promoted to a scholar of Huagai Palace, and he was promoted to a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Hu Shangshumeng was promoted to a scholar of Wenyuange, and Chang Dachun was promoted to a scholar of Chaoyangdian University. ”
The three of them bowed and said, "The ministers have thanked the emperor." ”
Li Yunzhong said: "Since Hu Yihuang has entered Beijing, the position of governor of Anhui is vacant, Jiao Liang is appointed as the governor of Anhui, and Zhao Liewen is promoted to the governor of Jiangxi." ”
His own camp suddenly obtained the position of governor of the two places, Lu Jianying was full of ambition, although most of the people who were feudal lords were from Guangxi, but Guangxi people would only fight the country, and the governance of the country would depend on their scholars, and it seemed that the emperor had already understood this truth.
