Before this court meeting, Lu Shen's name had frequently appeared in the dark room negotiations of the major mansions in Beijing.

The influence of Gu Wan'er, the Oiran of the capital, who redeemed herself and was willing to enter the Lu Mansion as a slave and serve as a servant, was extremely terrifying, and it could be called a strange story from the beginning to the end of the 12th year of the founding of the martial arts, second only to the victory in Jiangbei in Beijing.

To the surprise of most people, Lu Shen not only did not smile at the stunning beauty, but instead entrusted it to the pearl of the palm of the Governor of Jingzhou, which added a bit of legend.

The people couldn't understand how there could be such a stupid person in the world, and they didn't want to send the oiran to the door, could it be that this young hero from the frontier didn't love beauties, or had the good of Longyang?

The dignitaries and nobles naturally have to look deeper, especially when it comes to the day in Alum Tower, Lu Shen very clearly rejected the Li family Saburo's wooing, from these two things, it can be seen that Lu Shen's city government is extraordinary, and it is by no means the kind of rude military general with tendons, and it is not enough to say that he is brave and strategic.

Coupled with the report of the Northern Xinjiang War, Li Tianrun's unsparing praise for this young man, the magnates in Beijing can already foresee the rise of a new star in the army.

After the establishment of the Jiangbei Fourth Army became a foregone conclusion, a considerable number of important ministers believed that the Son of Heaven would promote Lu Shen to the commander of the First Army, even if this transfer was a little impatient, he could be appointed as the deputy commander first, and then find a suitable time to continue to promote him in the future.

Or transfer this young man to the Imperial Guard of the Forbidden Army and stay in the center to focus on training.

However, the Great Dynasty Meeting lasted until the end, the position of the senior military general of the Jiangbei Fourth Army was settled, Chen Lanyu successfully entered the Beijing Army sequence, and Lu Shen's reward never appeared, so that many people forgot his existence.

At this moment, Lu Shen appeared in their sight, and the hundred officials who were a little numb because of a series of dizzying border generals rewarded them finally cheered up.

Lu Shen stood in the hall as usual, raising his eyes to look at the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair in the distance.

Li Duan didn't speak, but nodded to the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch, who had already been prepared, spread out the scroll, looked at the dense words on it, not only was he a little nervous, but he quickly bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and read it out solemnly, and a slightly sharp voice came into the ears of the civil and military officials.

"The edict said: In the twelfth year of the Great Qi Jianwu, in early March, the pseudo-Yan spy plotted against me towards the border pass, and sometimes the Guangling Mansion was white and Lu Shen, assisting the officials of the Weaving Department to detect the enemy's conspiracy, find out the pseudo-Yan spy Zhang Xi, Ning Li, Gu Yong and others, and capture 74 people of the pseudo-Yan fine work."

This decree was unique from the beginning, and many ministers even looked stunned.

It is not as concise as other reward decrees, but it is like a colloquial language that tirelessly tells Lu Shen's deeds in the past half a year.

From the beginning of the Lu family's involvement in the detailed crime, Lu Shen reversed the situation under extremely unfavorable circumstances, not only won the trust of Su Yunqing, the Huaizhou inspector of the warp weaving department, but also assisted him to see through the conspiracy of the Beiyan Prosecutor's Office, and achieved rare results in recent years, so that the layout of the Beiyan Inspectorate in Huaizhou suffered great losses.

If this is all there is, this is only a credit that can be rewarded within the warp weaving department, and it will not be solemnly told on such a serious occasion as the Great Pilgrimage.

However, with the narration of the eunuch, many courtiers watched Lu Shen's gaze gradually change.

Before the Battle of Guangling, this young man led the Warp Weaving Division Guangling Yamen to dig out the Gu family, Ou Zhiqiu and others, and cooperated with Duan Zuozhang to find out the problem of You Pu, so that all the internal accounts arranged by the Beiyan Prosecutor's Office were arrested. After the outbreak of war, he personally led hundreds of cavalry to attack the enemy camp at night, beheading the generals and capturing the flag.

In the decisive battle, he and Li Bingxue cooperated tacitly, and finally succeeded in beheading Qin Chun, the general of the Jing Dynasty, creating a hearty victory.

The great victory that swept Moyang Road in Beiyan was even more out of the plan of this young man, who played a group of veterans in the battlefield of Beiyan.

“…… In the twelfth year of Jianwu, on August 12, Lu Shen offered the strategy of seizing the city, and Wang Shao of Xunyang, who was inspired by him to return to Shun sincerely, persuaded the enemy defender Meng Zhixiang to raise the city to surrender, and our army recovered Jianghua City without spending a single soldier, and successfully determined the overall situation of Jiangbei. ”

The eunuch of the Xuanzhi gradually got better, and his tone was subdued, but he was a little tired, after all, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were listening intently at this moment, and even a mispronunciation of a word could cause very serious consequences.

Fortunately, he finished reading it out smoothly, and then bowed to the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair.

When they heard the words "the overall situation of Jiangbei is determined", the ministers were in high spirits, and the next thing should be a specific reward, but the eunuch who announced the decree stopped talking, obviously he had completed this slightly difficult task.

Amidst countless curious or scrutinizing glances, Lu Shen stood calmly, his eyes looking at the smooth and flat gold brick ground in front of him.

Above the imperial steps, Li Duan's voice sounded leisurely: "The Zhongqing family should know by now how much credit this young man standing in the hall has made for Daqi. I am not belittling Xiao and Li, the two governors and other border soldiers, if Lu Shen hadn't stepped forward, they would have been able to hold the frontier steadily. However, because of Lu Shen's suggestions and suggestions, the border army of Daqi has achieved more magnificent victories, which is an indisputable fact, so I want the world to see that those who serve the country and the dynasty will definitely not be treated badly by the imperial court. ”

Lu Shen's eyes were slightly condensed, and he suddenly remembered that day of the visit, the Son of Heaven said at the end that he would give himself a gift.

Listening to his current words, this gift does not seem to be light.

This is also the idea of a hundred civil and military officials, because the tone set by the Son of Heaven is a bit high, and in this case, it must be more than just a military promotion.

Zuo Prime Minister Li Daoyan suddenly raised his head, and a solemn look appeared in his old eyes.

Li Duanhui looked at him calmly, and then continued: "The imperial court will soon tell the world in a letter, add Lu Shen as the founding man of Shanyang County, Guangling Prefecture, reward 300 households with food, award the captain of the light car, give the purple gold fish bag, and be promoted to the captain of the Ruishi battalion. ”

The temple was remarkably quiet.

The Son of Heaven seemed to be worried that the hundred officials would not understand, so he deliberately pointed to Shanyang County, Guangling Prefecture, and told everyone that this was Lu Shen's land of Sangzi, and it was appropriate to use Shanyang County to seal the founding baron, but Lu Shen suddenly had a memory in his mind when he heard this title.

He vaguely remembered that Shanyang Jue seemed to have appeared in the history of his previous life, but he couldn't remember this moment.

For hundreds of officials, the title of founding man is a little out of line, but considering Lu Shen's contributions in a series of wars in northern Xinjiang, it is not unacceptable. Anyway, there is already a viscount and two barons in front, and there are two county dukes, and Lu Shen's baron is not eye-catching.

The captain of the light car is a fourth-rank commander, and the purple gold fish bag is also a reward for officials above the fifth grade, plus a fourth-rank lieutenant military position, generally speaking, the reward of the Son of Heaven to Lu Shen is still within the understandable range.

But what does this Sharp Warrior Camp mean?

Lu Shen was also a little puzzled, and then looked up at the smiling Son of Heaven.

Li Duan said slowly: "There is a Feiyu battalion in Jingzhou, of course the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion cannot lag behind, I have already issued an order to Xiao Wangzhi in advance, ordering him to select sharp soldiers in various departments of the Huaizhou Army to form a sharp soldier battalion, with 3,000 people each, which is directly under the control of the Huaizhou Governor's Office. ”

In the queue of military attachés, Li Bingxue turned his head to look at Lu Shen, with a little more smile in his eyes.

Lu Shenden understood that the Son of Heaven meant to change Xiao Wangzhi's personal guard battalion into a sharp battalion, expanding from 3,000 to 6,000 people, half of the infantry and half of the cavalry, and handed over to him, a young captain, under the command of him.

He experienced the details of this string of rewards, and gradually felt the good intentions of the other party.

Every reward of the Son of Heaven is the highest standard, and considering his age and qualifications, he really can't be raised any higher, otherwise it will inevitably attract opposition from the court's important ministers. But the superposition of so many top-level rewards is enough to prove that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to him, and it solves the most torturous initial stage of ordinary generals.

In the future, as long as he continues to make meritorious contributions at the border, all aspects of improvement will be logical.

For a young man who was white more than half a year ago, such grace is really rare.

Lu Shen knew that this was related to Li Tianrun and Xiao Wangzhi's recommendation to him, but from another point of view, the promise of the Son of Heaven that day did not have any water.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is very loving, and Weichen is inscribed." ”

Li Duan's jaw said, "I hope that young people like you will work hard and inject a stronger will into the future of Daqi. ”

Lu Shen said calmly and forcefully: "The minister will keep in mind His Majesty's expectations. ”

Li Duan smiled with relief.

With the eunuch several trombones, the great court meeting at the end of October of the twelfth year of Jianwu ended.

Lu Shen and Li Bingxue were in the queue of generals of the border army, walking out of the Duancheng Hall with a steady pace, it was already afternoon at this moment, the late autumn sun was a little warm, and there was a slightly cold autumn wind blowing through the wide square in front of the palace.

Lu Shen glanced back at the majestic palace, and there was a little more depth in his eyes.

From time to time, Beijing officials came to congratulate everyone, Lu Shen and Li Bingxue did not highlight themselves, and basically Chen Lanyu and other generals came forward to communicate.

Until a middle-aged civil official with a clear face stood in front of them.

"I've seen Xue Xiang." The crowd saluted in unison.

Right Prime Minister Xue Nanting looked gentle, and after a few words of greeting, he looked at Lu Shen and said, "If you have free time in a few days, you can come to my house and sit down." ”

Lu Shen lowered his head and said, "Obey Xue Xiang's orders." ”

Xue Nanting nodded slightly, then turned around and left, not caring at all about the curious glances cast by the other Beijing officials.

"Do you know Xue Xiang?" Li Bingxue asked curiously.

Lu Shen said in a low voice: "I don't know, but my father and Xue Xiang's uncle have some friendship, if you want to hear it, I'll talk about it another day." ”

"There's no hurry, shouldn't we celebrate?"

Li Bingxue's eyes were bright and smiling.

Lu Shen was not hypocritical, this great court meeting was a complete meeting for everyone in the border army, everyone got rich rewards by fighting the battlefield, and the Son of Heaven and the imperial court did not let their efforts be in vain after all, so it is naturally worth celebrating.

"How about noon tomorrow? I'll do the east, and everyone goes. ”

Lu Shen said with a smile.

Li Bingxue's voice was very crisp: "Okay." ”
