Chapter 38: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds
Yao Guangxiao glared back at him: "The teacher is discussing business with you, why are you so ignorant of the severity." β
Hao Fenglou was so angry that he vomited blood, you won more than ninety taels of silver from me, and now I finally want to win, you tell me that I don't know the severity. He was about to attack, Yao Guangxiao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Regarding your merits, the Ministry of Rites has already drawn it up, hey...... You have bad luck, and many of your merits are not known to outsiders, so the Ministry of Rites only drew up a fourth class for you. β
Fourth-class ......
Hao Fenglou said: "How many are there in total?" β
Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "Fifth class." β
Hao Fenglou was angry: "It's unfair, I was born and died, guns and arrows, I don't know how much risk I bear, if I hadn't sneaked into Nanjing, would Bixia be able to enter Beijing now?" β
Yao Guangxiao stiffened his face: "Don't talk nonsense, Bixia can have today, it is the destiny of heaven and the will of heaven, what does it have to do with you?" If these words go out, are you not afraid of death? β
Hao Fenglou knew that he was speechless, although the emperor may understand his own merits, and he also knows his own role, but these things can't be said, the so-called all the credit belongs to the leader, and there is a fart relationship with a little shrimp like you, and you are arrogant, which is a big taboo, so he said abruptly: "What is the credit of the fourth class?" β
Yao Guangxiao said: "Most of the fourth-class credits are some soldiers who are not afraid of death, or some low-level military attachΓ©s who are from the dragon. β
Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "I knew this was the case, I followed Bixia to enjoy happiness in Zhenjiang, why bother to come to Nanjing to work hard." Master, you don't know the risks of Nanjing, there are flowers and willows everywhere, and there are beautiful scheming everywhere, and they will scare you to death when they say it. β
Yao Guangxiao packed up the chess box and said lightly: "Some credits are really incomprehensible, for example, if you lobby Li Jinglong, what will Li Jinglong say?" He can only say that he has admired Bixia for a long time, and he has long had the heart to repay him, so he asked you for the teacher, according to him, was he moved by what you said? β
Hao Fenglou shook his head.
Yao Guangxiao said again: "You claim to have infiltrated Nanjing, there are many dangers, there are five cities of soldiers and horses and Ying Tianfu to hunt down the rest of the Son of Heaven, but what do Ying Tianfu and the five cities of soldiers and horses say?" They said that there was no thing, and they had long admired Bixia, but it was just their duty, and they didn't dare to leave their posts without permission, as for the arrest of the party's henchmen, this is even more false, they will never admit it, can you understand? β
Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "In this way, it means that I have no credit, I ran into Nanjing, there is neither danger nor hard work, it is like coming in to hang out, visiting Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong is easy to descend?" β
Yao Guangxiao nodded: "That's the truth, but you don't have to worry, of course the teacher has to plan for you, when Bixia entered the palace that day, why did the teacher let you persuade you?" The previous cause and effect was today, no matter how great your credit is, after all, outsiders don't know, but your persuasion makes Bixia remember you, you take the risk with yourself, Bixia understands in her heart, you say that Li Jinglong, Bixia also knows that it is not easy, but Bixia will not take credit for you, because Bixia has a lot of opportunities and can't take care of you. But now it's different, but the credit of your persuasion is really recorded in Bixia's heart, Bixia sees the credit book, most of them will remember you, and there will be no loss of your benefits when the time comes. After all, the charter drafted by the Ministry of Rites still has to be seen by Bixia, wait and see, Bixia will remember you. β
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say: "What if Bixia forgets it for a while?" β
Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "Don't worry, you are a young student, and you have an opportunity." β
Hao Fenglou grabbed him by the collar and said viciously: "Thief bald donkey, pay back the money!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this time, in the warm pavilion, for Zhu Di sitting on the Jinluan chair, everything is like a dream, so that until now, Zhu Di has not returned to his strength, a month ago, he was still a traitor to the party, but now, he has become the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, has become the master of the whole world.
It's just that the reality doesn't allow him to adapt slowly, because there are still many things that Zhu Di must step up to do, on the one hand, to stabilize people's hearts, the second is to reward heroes, and the third is to kill.
Nothing can be relaxed, stabilizing people's hearts is to temporarily hold those centrists, rewarding one's cronies can be at ease, killing people is to eradicate those oppositionists, this is a compulsory course for any new emperor, in Zhu Di's eyes, there are only three kinds of people, one is his own people, one is irrelevant, and Zuihou is the other, which must be completely eliminated physically. The purpose of rewarding one's own people is to let everyone know that if you follow yourself, you will definitely have a future; The purpose of eliminating the third type of people is to tell everyone that whoever dares to do anything against me will be finished tomorrow.
So, while the whole family of the 'traitor' was pulled into the court, and the entire Jingshi was filled with blood, after several urgings, the Ministry of Rites finally handed over the drafted charter.
Ren Ang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sat cautiously under the emperor at this time, secretly thinking about the holy will, Ren Ang was a jinshi at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he was also an official in the Hongwu year, and there were very few ministers who could be said to be in the Hongwu Emperor from beginning to end, his colleagues had already been killed cleanly, and he could live to this day, of course Ren Ang was not a very principled person, because people who had principles or wanted to play clever had long since died and could no longer die, leaving behind a group of smarter and completely unprincipled guys.
In order to draw up this charter, Ren Ang has not slept well for more than a month, he organized the entire Ministry of Rites, and will work together with several ministries to co-ordinate, today I finally want to give Zhu Di an explanation, but Zhu Di is not satisfied, but he is not sure, after all, each emperor has a different temperament, God knows what he thinks today.
Zhu Di looked at the charter with great interest at this time, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, there are thirty-three people with first-class merit, all of these people are candidates for the prince, and the first one is Zhang Yu, who was posthumously crowned the Duke of Rongguo, and his son Zhang Fu Xinambo; The second is Zhu Neng, who was awarded the title of Tianjing Difficult to push Cheng Xuanli Wuchen, promoted to the Left Governor of the Left Military Governor's Mansion, and was named the Duke of Guo, as for the third is Qiu Fu, who was awarded the title of Tianjing Difficult to Push Cheng Xuanli Wuchen, Doctor Ronglu, Right Pillar State, Left Governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, and Feng Qi Guogong.
In addition, there are Chen Heng, Xue Luren, etc., who are also among the rewards.
In this regard, Zhu Di was quite satisfied and kept nodding.
Ren Ang couldn't help but let go of his heart, and at this time, Zhu Di couldn't help but say: "Mr. Yao is difficult to keep the Zhengwen minister, the good doctor, and the young prince for Fengtianjing, is it not appropriate enough?" β
Ren Ang was about to answer, but Zhu Di shook his head again: "Let's add it to the young master of the crown prince." He continued to flip through the regulations, and then suddenly frowned: "There is a person named Hao Fenglou, how many merits are there?" Zhu Di thought of Hao Fenglou, it was really this guy who impressed him too deeply, especially the scene outside the noon gate, which made Zhu Di still remember it vividly.
Ren Ang didn't know who Hao Fenglou was at all, his face was confused, he shouted in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Can you allow Weichen to check." β
Zhu Di looked impatient: "Go quickly." β
