Chapter 373: Even the Chang family's dog was made official

(March 1, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the zodiac is auspicious.) It's good to resume the update! )

Since Yu Qian, military power is the lifeblood of civilian officials. In the following generations, the reason why civil officials dared to kneel at every turn, and why the cabinet dared to reject the emperor's holy decree, came from their military power.

Replaced by Taizu, Taizong, and Xuanzong, who were in charge of the military power. Civil officials dare to fight with the emperor, let alone people, the dogs in the family must be stewed into hot pots, the eggs must be shaken yellow, and the earthworms must be split in half, or vertically.

Now that Emperor Zhengde said that he wanted to take back the military power, even if Liang Chu was mediocre, he would fight with him unusually.

Liang Chu said: "Your Majesty, the right to command the troops belongs to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the right to transfer troops belongs to the Ministry of War, this is the ancestral system!" The ancestral system cannot be violated! ”

Emperor Zhengde sneered: "Heh, the ancestral system, it's the ancestral system again." Then let me ask you, is Grandmaster Tai personally in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, is it considered an ancestral system? ”

"Not to mention that Emperor Taizu was originally a commander with troops! I have made up my mind, and it is difficult to change it! ”

"If you civil officials have any objections, go out and ask the soldiers outside the tent and the swords in their hands if they agree!"

Prince Liang suddenly found that Emperor Zhengde was not discussing with him, but threatening!

Chang Feng thought: Since ancient times, kings have two magic weapons. One is to kill, and the other is to win the war. The latter is more convincing than the former.

Now Yingzhou has won a big victory, and it is a shame for the snow and civil fort. The emperor's prestige in the army reached its peak.

The emperor took back the military power of the world, although he has not yet issued a clear edict to announce the world, but in fact, the wood has been completed, and it is difficult to change.

And as the emperor said, today's battle of Yingzhou is enough to prove that he has the ability to command the Ming army in the world.

In a word, it is a good thing that the military power is attributed to the imperial power.

Thinking of this, Chang Feng shouted: "Your Majesty, Shengming!" ”

This shout startled everyone in the account, and even frightened Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde said: "My uncle, can you not be surprised?" ”

Chang Feng sold confused: "Ah! The words of the minister are from the bottom of my heart! The emperor is a saint! The emperor of the past and present, the emperor is the most holy! ”

Emperor Zhengde coughed: "Don't put a top hat on me!" I asked you, what do you think of the return of military power to the royal family? Don't give me and mud, I want you to have a clear attitude. ”

Emperor Zhengde said that although he said so, he was very useful in his heart. What emperor throughout the ages didn't like to be wearing a top hat? Even foreign kings, generals, and kaka are no exception. Charles de Gaulle!

Chang Feng retracted the confused appearance he pretended, and said, "Your Majesty." "The Book of Poetry, Xiaoya, Beishan" has clouds, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The courage of the ministers is extended - all the soldiers and horses in the world are king soldiers! ”

"The king commands the king's soldiers, as it should be!"

Liang Chu shouted: "Jin Anhou, have you forgotten the lessons of the Tumubao Change? ”

Chang Feng-for-tat: "Liang Shoufu, have you forgotten the historical facts of Taizong's five expeditions to Mongolia and the glorious history of the grassland?" ”

"Compared to Grandmaster Ying, today's son is more like Grandmaster Tai! This is an indisputable fact! The mountain of Tatar heads outside the door is ironclad proof! ”

Emperor Zhengde clapped his hands: "Wow! You can say that again! Those who know me, Chang Feng also! His grand argument just now is exactly what I wanted to say! ”

Chang Feng regained his confused expression: "Eh, the emperor is the king of the Holy Ming." It is really a blessing that the ancestral tomb was blown up by lightning to be able to follow the Holy Monarch. ”

Chang Feng's words amused Emperor Zhengde Long Yan Dayue: "Haha." I will give you 10,000 taels of silver to repair the ancestral tomb! ”

Chang Feng kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”

Although it is a joke, the emperor has golden lips and jade teeth. 10,000 taels of silver, don't be in vain.

In the battle between the monarch and the civil official, Chang Feng, who was an old minister, a noble, and an old handsome, was the first to show his attitude and stood on the side of Emperor Zhengde. Chang Feng invested in the peach, and Emperor Zhengde naturally wanted to repay him.

Emperor Zhengde said: "In this battle of Yingzhou, the Chang family can be said to have made immortal achievements!" Needless to say, Chang Qingyun has followed me from beginning to end. ”

"Aunt Huang even saved my life."

Chang Feng led the Xuanfu soldiers to arrive at the most critical moment, reversing the stalemate in an instant. This is a great achievement! ”

"Not to mention the deployment of the right servant, Chang Po slave, and the meritorious service of dispatching military salaries, grain and grass for me. Although others are not in Yingzhou, they are still the heroes of the battle of Yingzhou! ”

"I have made the imperial aunt a town. Ah no, Lady Weiguo. ”

Emperor Zhengde made a slip of the tongue for a while, and Chang Feng was so frightened that he subconsciously trembled.

Emperor Zhengde said: "I see, Chang Feng's grandson Chang Qingyun, with merit, can be named a companion to read Lang!" Career civil officials from the five products! ”

Chang Qingyun is only thirteen years old and has no fame. Emperor Zhengde named him a civil official from the fifth grade, which was not in line with the Ming official system. But Emperor Zhengde was not a person who stuck to the old rules. His favorite thing to do is to break the rules.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty have been cold for ten years, and the head cantilever beam cone thorn is pricked with cold water, and the county test, the government test, the hospital test, the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test have been tested all the way. Even if he stands out from thousands of students and gets a middle jinshi, he is only awarded a civil official and seven grades. Only by becoming the top three in the first class and the top ten in the second class can you have the opportunity to be awarded the civil service from the sixth grade.

And the thirteen-year-old Chang Qingyun started as a civil official from Wupin. At the starting line, he won 108,000 miles for those who read.

It is an understatement to say that Chang Qingyun was born and grew up with a golden spoon. This product is simply God pinching his neck and stuffing a big gold ingot into his mouth.

Chang Qingyun is in the tent where Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan live, not in Emperor Zhengde's tent.

Chang Feng kowtowed and shouted: "Ministers and grandsons, thank the emperor for his grace!" The emperor is sage! ”

Emperor Zhengde continued: "Chang Po slave is in the middle to dispatch grain, grass, military salaries, and ordnance! I deserve to be promoted to his official position as a reward. ”

Liang Chu was stunned for a moment and reminded: "Your Majesty, Chang Ponu is only thirty years old this year, and he has already become the right attendant of the household deployment, and he is a third-grade servant. He is the youngest official of the six ministries since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"And he. . . Neither the top three in the first class, nor the second class, but the bottom of the top three. It's not appropriate to promote him again! ”

When it comes to the official promotion of his son Chang Ponu, it is inconvenient for Chang Feng to say more. He glanced at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yongxin comprehended and said: "Shoufu, the Holy Lord is the first promising monarch in the past and present. The promising king employs people, and has always been eclectic! ”

"You Liang Shoufu is the first second-class teacher in Chenghua for 14 years, only eight buckets high, and five cars are rich. I wonder if I have read through Mencius? ”

Zhang Yong asked a first-class cabinet chief assistant and civil official leader if he had read Mencius. It's like asking an elderly prostitute if he's a child.

Liang Chu glared at Zhang Yong angrily: "What does Gonggong Zhang mean by this?" Am I not just reading Mencius? I was able to recite it when I was 10 years old! ”

Zhang Yong shook off his burden: "Since Liang Shoufu has memorized "Mencius" like a stream. Then you must remember that there is such a passage in it. ”

Liang Chu asked, "Which paragraph?" ”

Zhang Yong cleared his throat and hung up the book bag: "Shunfa is in the acres, Fu Shuo is raised between the plates, Jiao is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is lifted in the Shi, Uncle Sun Ao is lifted in the sea, and Baili Xi is lifted in the city." ”

"Chang Ponu, the bottom of the top three, is not more noble than them? Not to mention Chang Po Nu or the Marquis's son! ’

"And the emperor employs people, always only looking at merit and demerits! You, the head of the cabinet, should know how difficult it is for Chang Po to send grain, grass and military salaries for the emperor in this battle! ”

"Do you want the emperor to be rewarded for his merits and not punished for his mistakes? Do you want the emperor to be a faint king? ”

Liang Chu was speechless. Lao Liang, like a fat author who loved to write brocade clothes in later generations, was full of economy and knowledge, but he was not good at words. Zhang Yong's words made him unable to refute.

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Zhang Yong said it well! What's wrong with thirty? Ganluo is twelve years old! What about the lower ranking in the imperial examination? Li Shanchang, the founding prime minister of the People's Republic of China, was not even a jinshi at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, just a lifter! ”

"I've made up my mind! Remove the word 'acting' before the official of Chang Po Slave, and actually serve as the right attendant of the household department, and promote the third grade! Another award to Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi! ”

The Zhan Mansion was a subordinate body of the crown prince. Zhan Shi was the chief assistant to the crown prince. If the crown prince ascends the throne, Zhan Shi will be the auxiliary minister.

Although Emperor Zhengde had no heirs. But Zhan Shi still belongs to an honorary title. If you are not the emperor's confidant, you can't get it.

Emperor Zhengde not only turned Chang Ponu into a right, but also gave him a supreme honorary title.

As soon as Emperor Zhengde's voice fell, Chang Feng began to howl again: "Your Majesty! O Shengming! The subordinate dog thanks the emperor for his grace! ”

Emperor Zhengde was taken aback: "My uncle, I beg you, don't be shocked!" I'm timid! ”

Chang Feng pretended to be crazy and stupid: "Huh? The emperor is timid? The emperor's courage is not small! Dare to crisscross, charge, and kill the enemy among hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides. Your courage and courage are comparable to Taizu and Taizong! ”

Emperor Zhengde was really comforted by Chang Feng's licking: "Ha! Uncle, you're exaggerating! How dare I compare with Taizu and Taizong. ”

Chang Feng said: "What the minister said is from the bottom of his heart. Today's battle of Yingzhou can be compared with the water battle of Poyang Lake in which Taizu set the world. It can be compared with Taizong's victory in calming the grassland! ”

Emperor Zhengde was praised by Chang Feng with a spring breeze, beaming with pride, and his face was red.

Liang Chu frowned, thinking in his heart: It is said that Chang Feng is a strong and straight minister. Why has it become more and more like a courtier and courtier with honey on his lips in recent years?

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "It's time to enjoy Changfeng next!" You are already a marquis in the title. The Ming Dynasty is the duke, and it needs to have the merit of the world. If I make you a duke, I will inevitably make you criticized. Forget it. ”

"As for the official position. You are now the governor of the Chinese military and the secretary of the southern town. is already the highest military general of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to be promoted. ”

"But I can't help but reward you. In this case, I hereby grant you the opportunity to serve as the former military governor. One person is also the governor of two capitals, which is a precedent that has not been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What do you think?"

Liang Chu was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, you have said that there is no precedent for one person to be the governor of both armies at the same time!" ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Liang Qing, didn't I set a precedent?" ”

Chang Feng was not polite. Years of ups and downs in the sea have made him understand a truth, in officialdom, humility is the most useless virtue.

Chang Feng shouted, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhengde immediately shouted: "Shengming! I know you're going to howl again! Yes, yes, you're right, I'm really holy, right? ”

Chang Feng, an old drama spirit, is in tears at the moment: "Woo woo! The emperor values the old minister so much. Lao Chen has not lived in vain in this life! Not in vain! ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "Okay! Don't cry and wipe your tears. Who else in the Chang family hasn't been sealed? ”

"Ah yes, your Ninth Lady in the side room is now a second-rank fate. I gave her a commandment. Your concubine Biyun is now a third-grade edict, let her follow you and give a second-grade edict! ”

Emperor Zhengde gave the Chang family a reward from top to bottom, to express an attitude: whoever supports me to take charge of the military power in the world, I will let everyone get the Tao, and all the chickens and dogs in the family will ascend to heaven!

Emperor Zhengde thought so and did so. He changed his words: "It seems that my gift to the Chang family is not big enough. ”

Zhang Yong reminded: "Wanping County Lord Chang Tian and Yibin Huang Yuan"

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Forget it." As the saying goes, a married daughter spills water. My imperial aunt is no longer a member of the ordinary family, she is a member of the Huang family. ”

"Besides, she is already a county lord with a different surname. If you go any further, you will be crowned a princess. Princess Feng with a different surname is a little too out of line. ”

Suddenly, Emperor Zhengde patted his brain: "I remembered!" Uncle, do you have a dog at home called 'shit'? ”

The shit is a three-year-old Laizhou red. The name of this lack of virtue with smoke was given by Chang Qingyun.

Chang Feng was stunned: "Ah, back to the emperor, yes." ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "I heard what the queen mother said. The ancestors of shit have a great history. Its ancestor was named Huzi. In the last years of Chenghua, he participated in the protection of the prince, and he was a great contributor to his father's smooth accession to the throne! ”

Chang Feng replied: "Back to the emperor, exactly." ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "I also heard that my uncle-in-law is quite incorruptible. Never accept bribes from officials. If an official gives a bribe, the dog poop can smell and bark at the bribe-giver, driving the bribe giver out of the gate. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Chang Feng replied: "Yes." ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "What a dog who maintains the name of his master!" I've decided! Seal the shit as the incorruptible imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! The civil service is five products! ”

As soon as these words came out, Chang Feng did not howl Shengming, but was stunned in place.

Not only Chang Feng was stunned, but Liang Chu and Zhang Yong were also stunned, and the officials and generals accompanying him were all stunned.

Everyone knows that the emperor likes to fabricate official positions indiscriminately.

However, it is somewhat sensational to seal a dog named "shit" as "the incorruptible imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

After a while, Chang Feng figured out Emperor Zhengde's thoughts: the emperor hated the noisy Yanguan Yushi the most. Sealing my family's shit as a positive five-grade imperial history is nothing more than satirizing the pile of imperial history in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, which is not as good as a dog!

My dog's name is also called "shit". By extension, it is the pile of imperial history in the Metropolitan Procuratorate that can't catch up with a piece of shit.

Injure! What a loss! The emperor is really an iron eater waiting for food, and the bamboo shoots have arrived at home.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Uncle, don't you want to thank your shit?" ”

Chang Feng kowtowed: "Ah! Ministers and ministers are cheap dogs, thank the emperor for Longen! ”

Emperor Zhengde's reward has ruined Liang Chu's three views. Prince Liang finally reacted: "Your Majesty, the official position is a famous instrument of the imperial court. How can you give a dog at will? ”

Emperor Zhengde said: "However, some officials in the court are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but all they think about is to be promoted to become rich and full of beautiful women. They can't catch up with Chang's dogs! Why can they wear official uniforms, open a government office, and live in eight houses? What about Chang's dog? ”

Liang Chu said: "This, this"

Emperor Zhengde said: "That's it! This is how it was decided! Zhang Yong, after returning to Beijing, you asked the Needlework Bureau to tailor a set of official uniforms and hats for the Chang family's 'shit'. ”

"All of you have listened! As long as anyone is loyal to me, try their best to do it. Not only will I reward his whole family, but I will also give him an official position as his watchdog! ”
