Zhang Gui didn't say that the blood on his body was the blood of the rebels, but said: "I trust Your Majesty to be heroic and come to help in time; Shimona soldiers use their lives! It's not too difficult, it's just a determination to die! ”

As soon as Zhang Gui said this, Zhu Guozuo and other ministers also followed: "Your Majesty, as Uncle Guo said, we have all made up our minds to die!" Swear to live and die with the country! ”

Zhu Guozuo and the others didn't blush when they said this, because many of them had already decided to be martyred, could this be regarded as a determination to die?

The Apocalypse didn't want to debunk these ministers who said that they had already made up their minds to die.

After all, after seeing more ministers choose to kneel to greet him, he had to admit that after hearing the news that the rebels might enter the city, he was willing to die for himself, or betrayed himself and chose to join the enemy without waiting.

When it's time to pretend to be confused, Apocalypse will still pretend to be confused.

Therefore, Tianqi nodded at this time and said: "I still have loyal ministers in Daming, and Zhang Qing is not the only one. ”

The words of the Apocalypse have two meanings, one is to Zhu Guozuo and other ministers, which means that I recognize you as loyal ministers; The other layer is for Zhang Gui, which means that in my eyes, you, Zhang Gui, are the true loyal ministers that I have always trusted.

Moreover, seeing the blood of Zhang Gui's body, in stark contrast to the other civil and military ministers who went out of the city to quell the rebellion, Tianqi was indeed touched in his heart.

The last thing you should have as an emperor is the character trait of affection.

But Apocalypse has such a characteristic.

He can't be ruthless with people he doesn't have a relationship with, but he still cares about the people around him.

Therefore, in order to live up to Zhang Gui, Tianqi said: "This time the country can be saved, and the uncle Zhang Gui should be the first credit, and the secretary thinks that it is appropriate to reward him." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the uncle of the country should be a marquis! When hereditary! ”

The second assistant, Zhu Guozuo, stood up and expressed his suggestions first.

"That's right! As Your Majesty said, Uncle Guo kept my Ming Guoben this time! It is a matter of merit in the future, and the benefit is in the community! How can you not be a marquis?! ”

Wei Guangwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and said.

Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, also said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that when you are a marquis, the merit of the uncle of the country is comparable to the merit of Yu Shao to protect the master of Weijing!" ”

"It should be a marquis, after all, this time Uncle Guo is keeping the country's capital!"

"That's right, this is not a favor relative, it is a meritorious military officer, in addition to hereditary, it should also be given an iron scroll to avoid death, and the edict can be built! Otherwise, I am afraid that it will chill the heroes and make His Majesty mean to the world! ”

At this time, these ministers were actively emphasizing that Zhang Gui should be a big seal and should be a direct marquis, and they didn't dare to say this because Zhang Gui was a relative.

The reason is simple.

If Zhang Gui is not made a marquis, how can he show the importance of this incident of guarding the imperial city and killing the enemy and quelling the rebellion, and how can they let the ministers, who have also contributed to this incident, follow the officials and become knights?

If they don't make Zhang Gui a marquis, how can they be embarrassed to follow and write about their credits?

When the interests are the same, the civil officials are still willing to carry the sedan chair.

What about the relatives, the relatives still carry and hold the same!

You must know that in history, when the interests were aligned, many Wenchen could even recognize the eunuch as his godfather, call him 9,000 years old, and even create a living shrine.

Now it's just a handful of Uncle Guo, no shame!

What's more, this time Uncle Guo really let everyone participate in a real counterinsurgency incident.

Although the rebels are weak, that is also the rebels are not.

"Then the marquis! Jin Feng is the Marquis of Suizhou, hereditary, given an iron coupon to avoid death, and a place in Zhuangtian! The edict was decreed that the Ministry of Industry would build a marquis mansion for it, and the Ministry of Rites would discuss how to seal the ancestors and the children and daughters of the clan, and in addition, the cabinet presided over the court meeting to agree on how to seal the reward, and then it would be played together. ”

Apocalypse.

Zhang En thanked him.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Here, Zhu Guozuo and other civil officials immediately replied.

Tianqi smiled faintly at this, and he suddenly felt that this should be the most harmonious scene of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs and even the foreign relatives and nobles and ministers since he ascended the throne.

Next, the ministers who participated in the counterinsurgency were rewarded.

Man Gui and Sun Yingyuan also followed suit, and they were made earls.

Only Pan Ruzhen, Li Zuye, Xu Xigao and others were imprisoned because of the wrong choice, and they were severely executed, not only did they get nothing, but they also lost everything.

……

"Are you saying that Zhang Gui, the uncle of the Ming Kingdom, has been promoted to marquis, and Wang Zhichen and other plans on the side of the Qing monarch have failed?"

Shenyang.

Nurhachi showed a look of disappointment after learning the latest news about the Ming Dynasty from Li Yongfang.

Huang Taiji followed: "In other words, this Apocalypse will continue to be the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and will continue to trust him Zhang Gui, and the difficult situation of my Dajin has not yet opened." ”

Nurhachi nodded, then slapped his palm on the desk, glared at the bull's eye and said: "Since the appearance of this expensive, my Dajin has not been smooth!" Even Wu'er Mang Gurtai and Derge died in the pass because of him, and were executed by Emperor Ling Chi of the Ming Kingdom, without killing Zhang Gui, this Khan could not eliminate this hatred! ”

"Father Khan is angry!"

Huang Taiji comforted, and said: "At present, the Ming court has set up a town in southern Liaoning, and has gathered tens of thousands of troops, and with the help of its powerful sailors, it will be very difficult for us to attack Mongolia or North Korea in the future!" Therefore, in the opinion of the sons, instead of denouncing this Zhang Gui now, it is better to think of a way to make the Ming court give up setting up a town in southern Liaoning. ”

"Let the Ming court give up setting up a town in southern Liaoning, it is difficult to ascend to the sky! Because the people who supported the establishment of a town in southern Liaoning were Zhang Gui and Yuan Keli, the uncles of the Ming Kingdom, and these two people are now the most favored by the apocalypse. ”

Bel Amin said at this time.

"It's still based on fighting, and the Ming army in southern Liaoning can be wiped out, the key is that now the governor of southern Liaoning, Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji, are quite good at fighting, and they are more threatening than Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan, and more importantly, these two people are both old people in Xichang, and they are their own people who are the uncle of the Ming court, Zhang Gui, and they cooperate very tacitly.

Nurhachi said.

"What my father said is that even if you can't let the Ming Court remove a town in southern Liaoning for the time being, you can find a way to let them replace Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji first!"

Huang Taiji replied.

After hearing this, Nurhachi asked, "How to change?" ”

Li Yongfang, the first traitor of the Ming Dynasty who took refuge in Houjin, said at this time: "The slave thinks that you can use the counter-plot!" ”

"How do I use an inverse plan?"

Huang Taiji also asked.

Li Yongfang said: "Back to the masters, this matter is not difficult, didn't Sibeile Ye just say that he Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji are uncles of the Ming Kingdom, and in the Ming Kingdom, they are not more enlightened than me, and the Ming Kingdom is more corrupt and Confucian ministers, they are not allowed to take refuge in this kind of ministers, presumably there are many Qingliu civil officials in the Ming Kingdom who are dissatisfied with these two people, and as long as we spread some of these two people's secret communication with my Dajin, and even secretly negotiate peace with my Dajin, and even have agreed that my Dajin will take Liaoxi, and they will take Shandong, Someone within the Ming Kingdom must have taken advantage of this matter to impeach Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji. ”

"Not only within the Ming Kingdom, but also Yuan Chonghuan and Liaoxi Jiangmen in Liaoxi actually don't want a person like Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji in southern Liaoning to restrain them and share their Liao's salary, so as long as we spread the news, presumably these people will also impeach Sun Chuanting and Zhou Yuji."

Li Yongfang replied.

"But will the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom believe it?"

Nurhachi asked.

Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan, the son thinks that Li Eyu's plan is very good, no matter whether the emperor of the Ming Kingdom believes it or not, everyone is golden, and after the rumors are widely spread, it will become true if it is not true, not to mention that many people in the Ming Kingdom are also willing to be true, even if the emperor is unwilling to believe it, he has to have some doubts, and then replace these two people, or these two people themselves are disheartened and ask to leave." ”

Nurhachi nodded: "Very good! That's it, Li Yongfang, this plan is up to you. ”

……

Zhang Gui supported Yuan Keli to set up a town in southern Liaoning, which formed a greater constraint on Jiannu, and transported a large amount of state funds since the implementation of the new policy to southern Liaoning, instead of using it to support the generals of Liaoxi, which really made Jiannu and the generals of Liaoxi and the civil officials in western Liaoning feel dissatisfied.

Therefore, especially under the impetus of traitors such as Li Yongfang, not long after Zhang Gui was made a marquis, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, Zuo Fu, the general of the army, and Zu Dashou, the general of the staff, jointly impeached Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yuji and other people who secretly conspired to build slaves and conspire to make peace.

For this reason, the Apocalypse specially ordered that the noon court be held in the Qinzheng Hall to discuss the matter.

But as soon as the court discussion began, Hanlin Antong suddenly took out a notebook and knelt in front of the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Sun Chuanting, the governor of southern Liaoning, and Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of southern Liaoning, conspired to collude with Jiannu to rebel, and made an appointment with Jiannu, and the slave chief Nurhachi led the main force of Jiannu to attack Liaoxi, while they took Shandong, intending to flank the Beijing division and kill our Ming Dynasty!" ”
