After determining the direction of his actions, he was praised by Yan Ling, and for a moment Yan Keng only felt that his shoulders were much lighter, and even Zhu Qizhen noticed that his master's mental state was excellent.

They were relying on the list of heroes handed in by Zhang Fu to discuss the reward for the army of Luchuan.

British Gong Zhang Fu, of course, did not say it, Pinglu Chuan He was the first meritorious, received a rich reward, and also gave one of the three princes, the title of Taibao.

Next is a general named Wang Ji, he is famous in the original history, this person entered the military with a literary, personally led the troops with the body of the military department Shangshu, the northern expedition to Wara, the south of Pingluchuan, the merit is great, is one of the three civil officials of the Ming Dynasty who were knighted for military merits.

In this history, he did not have the great merit of conquering Wara, but the credit of Pinglu River was indispensable to him, so he was named Jingyuanbo.

The next one, to everyone's surprise, turned out to be grim.

The officials immediately muttered in their hearts.

The first time he went to the battlefield, the hero ranked third, and the son of Chen Guogong, these three elements combined, everything seemed to be obvious.

However, as soon as the thoughts of the speakers arose, they were forced to suppress themselves, and their mouths were closed firmly.

Now it is not as good as it was at the beginning, after all these years, Yan Keng's prestige in the court has been very high, and he has also cultivated a considerable number of cronies, and he has the trust of the emperor, which is very difficult to mess with.

Think about the last official who offended him......

The officials trembled, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.

But in his heart, he also looked down on the severity a little more, but he was just a gold-plated gentleman on the battlefield, and even Zhang Fu was looked down upon by the officials in his heart.

Just when they were thinking countless things in their hearts, the eunuch read out loud the grim feat:

"The three thousand battalions are severe, brave in battle, the first battle of Lujiang, charging ahead, breaking the enemy's formation, the merit of the first battle, should lie in Jun! Since then, he has led tens of thousands of troops alone in Shangjiang, Tengchong, Mulongshan and other places, and has repeatedly defeated the thieves, which is really the third merit of Pinglu River! ”

The shrill voice of the eunuch echoed in the court, and the courtiers below were silent, and many of them had shocked looks in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, there is really a credit!

With such a detailed battle exploit, it must not be a false report, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes are watching it from top to bottom of the whole army!

This is severe, the only impression that all the officials had of him before was that in the year of Yongle, he led the 3,000 battalions to quell the rebellion, and was rewarded by the emperor.

I didn't expect this time, it was a blockbuster! Should it be said that it is worthy of being the descendant of King Jingping, the seed of Chen Guogong?

The eyes of many civil servants quickly changed from surprise to envy.

Such a merit is naturally to be rewarded.

This Yan family lineage, is really blessed by God, three generations of virtuous, since the beginning of King Jingping has always occupied a place in the Ming Dynasty, now this grim, I want to be like his grandfather and father, step into the peak of the Ming Dynasty!

"Yan Jiangsi made such a contribution in the first battle, and he is worthy of being a descendant of Chen Guogong, he is really a tiger father without a dog! The pacification of Luchuan, although it was properly commanded by the British public, also had the lives of the three armies, and there was even more merit in leading the army to fight with the strict commander, otherwise how could Luchuan be pacified so easily? ”

Immediately, someone stood up and said.

The one who spoke was the right attendant of the household department, and he was one of the officials attached to Yan Keng, so he naturally wanted to pat the eldest brother's ass at this time. The Battle of Luchuan was said by him as if it would be difficult to win without severity.

"The minister suggested that the governor of the military capital in front of the division be given platinum silk, and then the title of three orphans, so as to show His Majesty's reward to the strict commander!"

As soon as these words came out, the officials gasped.

This reward has passed, too much.

The former military governor of the Zuo Dudu, this is an official title, in charge of the armies of Huguang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, which is the highest official position of a military general, not to mention the three orphans, second only to the three dukes.

Although the power of civil officials is growing now, and the former Emperor Renxuan is also obviously supporting civil officials, it is still far from the point where the civil and military officials were originally in history.

The military general is a product, that is a product, it can be said that the forty-three-year-old grim directly jumped to the pinnacle that a courtier can do.

The credit for the severity is great, but it is extremely outrageous to be sealed like this.

The other party was obviously currying favor with Yan Keng.

However, although his suggestion was exaggerated, it was still echoed by his ministers.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"For the merits of several battles, the strict commander deserves this reward!"

"The minister also holds this opinion!"

More and more officials are coming forward.

They are all courtiers who belong to Yan Keng.

Xiao Zhu Qizhen's face also showed joy.

At this time, he didn't realize that if Yan Zhen really sealed it as he said, the power of Yan's father and son would reach the peak of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, the Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't hold it down, and the imperial power would be shaken.

He was just rejoicing in the achievements of his teacher's son.

When the orthodox emperor opened his mouth, he was about to agree, but at this time, someone stood up.

"Although the strict commander has merit, such a reward has passed."

Who dares to go against the Yan family and work against Yan Shoufu, who is in power and in the opposition?

Such a thought instantly popped into the hearts of many people.

Turning their heads to look, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Because the person who said this was Yan Keng, Yan Shoufu himself!

Generous reward, still not willing? For a moment, everyone wondered if this old man was old and confused.

However, Yan Keng didn't care what they thought, he just said slowly:

"Yan Jiangsi set out on this expedition, although he made some meritorious deeds, but this is all thanks to the excellent British commander, Wang Shangshu led the troops well, and the Ming soldiers fought bloodily, he himself just took advantage of the situation, such a reward, he can't afford it at all!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that it is enough to give the post of judge of the five armies of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army!"

At this moment, let alone the ministers, even Sanyang was stunned.

Without him, the reward is too low!

The judge of the five armies, in the original history, was dismissed during the new policy in the middle of Jianwen, but this time Emperor Jianwen was gone at the beginning of the third year of Jianwen, so it was naturally retained.

This position is in charge of the five military prisons, that is, all military cases in the country are under his jurisdiction, which sounds very imposing, and this power seems to be very great.

However, you must know that the judge of the five armies is just a positive five products, and you want him to deal with those generals who are bigger than his official position, is it possible?

If they really encounter a military minister of more than three or four grades, the judge of the five armies is not qualified at all, and in the end they will still be sent to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial, and it is impossible to get their turn.

In other words, they only have the ability to judge some middle and low-level officials, and this power is of course great for ordinary petty officers, but for the severity of what has just been done, it is nothing at all!

It is obvious that the merit is greater than the reward, and the reward is not worthy of the merit!

And Yang Shiqi's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the meaning of grimness.

He wants to keep a low profile! It seems that this Chen Guogong has realized that his big tree is about to shade the world, and he is shrinking his branches.

This is indeed what Yan Keng meant.

If he is in a high position again, it will be against his original intention.

As for the official position, when Zhu Qizhen is in power, will he still treat the son of his mentor badly? What's more, the severity still has the great achievements made before!

However, except for old foxes like Sanyang, many officials believe that Yan Keng is avoiding suspicion.

Even Zhu Qizhen felt the same way, and when the news reached the inner court, it made Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes light up.

It's really a high wind and bright festival!
