Emperor Zhu Youxiao, Emperor of the Apocalypse, accompanied by the eunuch Wang Tiqian, the eunuch of the Celebrity, and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of Bingbi, appeared at the corner gate of Fengtianmen to wait for the ministers of the previous dynasty.

After kneeling down, Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao was no longer immature as he was a year ago, and spoke directly and calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have recently performed many important concerts, and I have seen them all, and I am very pleased with the current results, but many problems also worry me. ”

"Your Majesty." Shoufu Ye Xianggao's tone was very respectful: "The situation is complicated, and the ministers have not been able to share your worries, please take care of the dragon body." ”

"Rest assured. I pay great attention to it, and I have dedicated loyal ministers to assist Zuo, so I will definitely have no worries about the dragon's body. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty should get married as soon as possible, and our Ministry of Rites has completed the preliminary audition, just waiting for Your Majesty's approval." A waiter from the Ministry of Rites played.

"I think it's time to get married as soon as possible."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

The civil officials had already prepared this proposal, and the Ministry of Rites took the lead in unanimous action.

Wang Hongyu, Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen and other generals were not informed in advance, but they felt that the apocalypse was almost old, and out of the inheritance of the stability of the Ming Dynasty and the apocalypse, it was a good thing to get married early and have children.

The first assistant Ye Xianggao and the second assistant Liu Yijing also seconded the proposal.

Tianqi was not very easy to answer this question, and glanced at Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian on the left and right.

Where did Wang Tiqian dare to cooperate with the idea, of course, he bowed his head and remained silent, which fell on Wei Zhongxian's head.

Wei Zhongxian looks at Zhu Youxiao, who does Zhu Youxiao look at......

Pregnant!

Wang Hongyu was there, so he looked at the martial arts queue, and the particularly young and heroic one happened to meet Wang Hongyu's gaze.

Apocalypse saw that it was a very calm and confident look in his eyes.

He knew that this had taught him that he could confidently make up his own mind.

"I see."

Zhu Youxiao's heart calmed down.

Everyone is looking at it, and it's really inappropriate to look left and right by yourself.

"I know that this matter is very important, but I am seventeen years old, I already know about this matter, the Ministry of Rites can continue to prepare, I will continue to pay attention to it at the end of the year, and I will definitely get married before the age of the weak crown."

This makes sense, but the emperor's marriage and childbirth involve the stability of the world, and some officials continue to propose that it should be as soon as possible.

Wang Hongyu frowned slightly.

Aware of the "fight for the country" during the Wanli period, there is now a trend that has been handed down, that is, to urge the emperor to get married, and to quarrel over other private events in the future.

In this way, the apocalypse's attention and patience will be consumed, and the real big things may be delayed.

All in all, the atmosphere of retreat in the court is very serious, and many pragmatic things have not been properly discussed and implemented.

Finally, an hour passed, and the second topic was carried out - the sacrifice of prisoners in the southwest and the appointment of rewards.

Shoufu Ye reported to Gao Dai about the great victory in the southwest, and Tianqi personally issued a decree and ordered Wang Hongyu to prepare a prisoner and appointment proposal.

Wang Hongyu came out of the ranks and officially met with the ministers of the court as the Marquis of Dingyuan.

As Shoufu said, this time the southwest pacified the rebellion of luxury and peace, and promoted the reform of the land and returned to the stream, many figures have merit, and the corresponding appointment and reward have been promulgated before.

However, this battle was very thrilling, if it were not for His Majesty's trust, the ministers would be appointed as the governors and commanders of many provinces in the southwest at the time of crisis, so that the ministers had the right to mobilize the troops and horses of many provinces to cooperate with each other. If there is no unified dispatch, I am afraid that the huge forces of luxury and security will defeat the minister's direct subordinates with more and fewer blows. ”

Speaking of which, Wang Hongyu focused on the situation of Chengdu's siege and the decisive battle under Guiyang.

The siege of Chengdu was relieved by Wang Hongyu with the Hunhe Army, the Shennong Army and the Shizhu White Pole Soldiers, etc., and they joined forces with Chengdu to break the enemy.

Then Chengdu is far away from Guiyang, if you are still your own soldiers, running thousands of miles over, I am afraid that An Bangyan with a huge force to wait for work, in the north of the city ambush heavy damage.

It is precisely the cooperation of the Guizhou governor, the Guiyang soldiers and the Huguang Town soldiers, and the Yunnan-Guizhou governor's soldiers and horses, and the joint dispatch of the soldiers and horses of multiple provinces, that can kill An Bangyan under Guiyang City at the first time.

After listening to his story, most of the courtiers knew that it was Wang Hongyu's direct subordinate soldiers and horses to relieve the siege. Most of the decisive battles in Guiyang were not his direct subordinates, but other soldiers transferred from various provinces.

"The minister thought that the key to quickly quelling the rebellion of luxury was that the minister could dispatch the soldiers and horses of Huguang, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan to work together. This is the result of His Majesty's trust, the Cabinet's support, the efforts of the Inner Court, and the conscientiousness of the ministers in their posts. Therefore, when we reward others, we should also remember this valuable experience. ”

These words have gratitude and benefits for everyone, but Yang Lian and others, who didn't agree with it very much, were blocked so that they had nothing to say.

Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, seconded the motion, saying that the cooperation of soldiers and horses in many places and the cooperation of officials in many places were the key to victory in this battle.

Emperor Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi also said that this summary of this battle should be recorded, which is not only an achievement of my Ming Dynasty, but also an experience worth learning and inheriting in the future.

Again.

Wang Hongyu once again won the respect of most capable ministers with his wonderful speech in the court.

The surrender of the prisoners was also set at the same time, and the time was set for two months later.

The leaders and generals of the extravagant family and the captured families of the An family would use prisoner cars to parade through the streets of the capital, and then go to the noon gate to offer prisoners to the apocalypse, and then push them to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded.

At the same time, it will review the Hunhe Army, the Shennong Army, the Shizhu White Pole Soldiers, the Youyang Tusi Soldiers, the Chengdu Zunyi Defending City Soldiers and Horses, the Nanchang Town Soldiers, and the Guiyang Yunnan Meritorious Soldiers and Horses......

At the same time, the review issued a reward of 200,000 taels of silver for the household and 200,000 taels of silver for the inner library. The War Bureau issued new weapons, armor, banners, etc.

The ministers of the imperial court who participated in this matter also had silver and moe rewards.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Liaison Officer of the Six Sections will also find out whether the prisoners are true or not, and the personnel who participated in the review and reward did not impersonate them.

This process is very formal, and it is a glorious deed for Daming, Tianqi, Wang Hongyu, the court and the soldiers. After such a sacrifice of prisoners, the morale will be even higher, and the sense of honor and cohesion will be really improved.

Two hours have passed since the early dynasty.

It is more than the usual time of the early dynasty, but Wang Hongyu still has something to say.

"The minister reported on the battle of Ho Jing O.

Before this battle, a chapter had been submitted, and the governor of Guangdong and the military department had already made supplementary statements. However, the stakes are large, and it is by no means the scale of piracy, so the minister thinks that it should be taken seriously and specially adjusted to deal with it. ”

Many officials in the imperial court felt that this was not an attack by red-haired pirates?

As for bringing it to the early dynasty to talk? And after discussing the two happy events of the big wedding and the sacrifice of prisoners, isn't this purely looking for bad luck?

Only some well-informed officials knew about the newly rising Netherlands in the Western Ocean, and the Ming Dynasty was finally going to officially treat or guard against the Netherlands.

"The Netherlands was born as a fisherman, started with commercial smuggling, rose in size by hundreds of thousands, repelled many attacks by the most powerful powers in the West, and now has expanded its territory and population to one million."

Many courtiers listened with disdain.
