Chapter 411: Upstart
However, General Wei's demeanor is indeed unmatched. 【Full text reading】{Starter} Despite receiving such a reward, his performance was still very calm, and there was no celebratory firecrackers or anything like that in the house.
Fortunately, the Holy Emperor didn't go too far, and the second place in the commendation order was Song Xinghai and his son.
Although Song Li has the greatest credit in counterinsurgency, Song Xinghai is his father after all, so his position is ahead of Song Li.
Song Xinghai, the king of the Ming Dynasty, was meritorious in quelling the rebellion, and was promoted to the title of prince and given the title "Rong". The bounty was 500,000 coins, 1,000 horses of cloth, and 500 stones of grain. The original three secret service divisions are still in charge of him.
Song Li, the king of the county, made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, was promoted to the title of "king", inherited his father's name "Ming", and had a bounty of 500,000 coins, 1,000 horses of cloth, and 500 stones of grain. He still served as the governor of the nine counties.
The fiefdom issue of Song Xinghai's father and son was not mentioned in the commendation order.
Since the incident of the war dragon, the Holy Emperor has formed his own unique method on the issue of knighthood. You can be knighted, and you won't be divided into fiefs in the short term, even if it's a hereditary title, you won't be given a fief right away. Like Song Xinghai and Song Li, father and son, their titles have been rising, but the issue of fiefdom has never been implemented.
No courtier dared to ask the Holy Emperor for a fief. The emperor is this awesome, even if it should have been given to you, if he didn't give it to you, you couldn't ask for it.
It's okay for him to be unruly, but if you don't follow the rules, it's hard to say the consequences.
The princes and ministers clearly remembered that the Holy Emperor had promised Song Li on the city tower that if Song Li could eliminate those resentful spirits and relieve the crisis of the imperial city, the Holy Emperor would take out the map of the empire and let Song Li choose a fief, but after the matter passed, he seemed to have forgotten this stubble and did not mention it.
For Song Xinghai and his son, they were only promoted to a first-class title and rewarded with some money, which is indeed a little cold compared to Wei Qianli.
The most important thing is that Song Xinghai and his son did not get the right to fight. King Jing, Duke Levi was imprisoned, the city guards and the guards were all in a state of leaderlessness, according to the merits of Song Xinghai's father and son, they could not get a piece of the pie, but the Holy Emperor was stunned and did not take care of this stubble.
The Ming Palace's power in the DPRK and China is intertwined, but it has no foundation in the military. After this coup, the defense forces of the imperial capital were reshuffled, and with the merits of Song Xinghai and his son, especially Song Li, the father and son should have obtained practical benefits in this regard, but the Holy Emperor was not prepared to let them get involved in the army.
Song Xinghai was promoted from King Ming to Prince Rong, and as the only prince in this dynasty, his status is indeed very honorable. Song Li was also promoted from the king of Lijun to the king of Ming, because his father had the title of King Ming, so everyone called him "King Xiao Ming", and he became a prince at a young age, which is rare in the history of the entire empire.
However, compared to their contribution to this mutiny, they were still overlooked. Especially compared with Wei Qianli, this deliberate suppression is even more obvious.
Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and the words are not rough, no matter what time and space they are, they are all unbreakable truths. The Holy Emperor did not let them master the barrel of the gun, and the meaning of vigilance was already very obvious. Moreover, they do not have a fief yet, and they cannot develop a large-scale private army, at best, they can cultivate some guards in the mansion, according to the Holy Lion Code, the number of guards in the private mansion is limited, and the total number cannot exceed a thousand. With this number of people, they can't do anything.
The Holy Emperor had already suffered from Prince Zhong before, and the 100,000 city guards in King Jing's hands were a thorn in the Holy Emperor's heart. He would not allow this thorn to reappear.
Which of the officials who can fight in the imperial court is a fuel-efficient lamp? The Holy Emperor is deliberately suppressing Song Xinghai and his son, and his intention to focus on supporting Wei Qianli is clearly revealed. After the fall of Prince Zhong, the Ming Wangfu was dominant, and there was no force in the court that could compete with it. The Holy Emperor suddenly pushed Wei Qianli to this high position, which was equivalent to invisibly establishing another force.
With Wei Qianli's current degree of favor, popularity, and his status in the court, he will soon be attached to a group of officials, and a new force will naturally be formed. With Wei Qianli's ability, he can indeed break his wrist with Song Li.
It was precisely when he saw that no one in the imperial capital was no longer Song Li's opponent that the Holy Emperor transferred Wei Qianli, a brilliant general, back.
There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends. Allies, who fought side by side yesterday, soon began to watch out for each other. This kind of drama is being played out in every dynasty and generation, and the ministers are no longer surprised. It's just a little embarrassing, the once illustrious Ming Wangfu doesn't know what it will become in the future.
War Dragon also played a major role in this counterinsurgency process, but the two sides had agreed in advance that his actions could only be offset by previous mistakes, so no further rewards would be awarded. There is no objection to this war dragon, with his current status, it is indeed unsealable. Unless the Holy Emperor abdicates the throne.
However, after the coup d'état, the Holy Emperor did not explicitly say that he would let him go back, nor did he say that he would not let him go back, this ambiguous attitude made Zhan Long scratch his head. However, since the Holy Emperor didn't say to let him go, he really couldn't just leave. Unless you're ready to turn his face on him. Therefore, he could only stay in the imperial capital to see what the attitude of the Holy Emperor was.
On the commendation order, the eldest prince Song Siming was actually on the list, the reason was that as a hostage, he completed the task of confusing Prince Zhong well, and also contributed to quelling the rebellion. Imagine that the eldest prince eats, drinks and has fun in the war dragon camp, and actually becomes a hero of the counterinsurgency, I have to make the ministers sigh, it is better to live well than to do well, who makes the family have a terrible father.
According to the decree of the Holy Lion Empire, the prince can be crowned the prince of the county when he becomes an adult, but if he wants to further promote the title, he needs to make meritorious contributions to the country and the people, and it is not that the Holy Emperor can seal it however he wants. For example, Song Xinghai was the king of the county when he became an adult, but because he did nothing, the title has always stood still. It wasn't until later that he began to emerge and rose all the way to the current prince.
The sons of the Holy Emperor have never had any opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it stands to reason that military meritorious service is the easiest, but in recent years, the situation has been calm, and there have been no major wars, and the Holy Emperor is not good at cheekily stuffing his sons into the army.
This counterinsurgency is also a good opportunity for the eldest prince. He only needed to go to the camp of the war dragon for two days, and he reaped a solid credit.
The eldest prince, Song Siming, made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, was promoted to the king, and was given the name "Fu".
Luo Mi, who has been ambushed by Prince Zhong's side for ten years, and Xu Wanting, the director of the Department of Public Security, are jointly responsible for the 100,000 city guards, with Xu Wanting as the commander and Luo Mi as the deputy commander. For Xu Wanting, this is a major step forward in his career. The city guard is more important than the sheriff's department. One is a regular royal division, and the other is a garrison, which cannot be said in the same day. Of course, he also understands that Deputy Commander Romi is the real henchman of the Holy Emperor, although he is in the main position, but everything depends on the face of this deputy. It's something that can't be helped.
Xu Wanting and Romy both received the title of "Earl". Of course, this title is not hereditary, but for life. It can be regarded as an honorary reward for their meritorious service to counterinsurgency.
Whether it is hereditary or not, with a knighthood, they have officially entered the ranks of the nobility from a white ding.
The 50,000 royal city guards were handed over to Wei Qianli to command. At the same time, Wei Qianli is still the supreme commander of the Northern Storm Legion, this division of a hundred battles was formed by him, and his prestige in this army is irreplaceable. It's just that there is no war in the north for the time being, and he has temporarily handed over the command of the Storm Legion to his deputy, while he himself stays in the imperial capital and concentrates on the reconstruction of the royal guards.
As the descendants of the Holy Emperor, the leading officers of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard have also been rewarded to various degrees, and the 5,000 elites and 3,000 silver-feathered knights who died in battle were all posthumously awarded the "Baronial Title" and showed mercy to their families. The silver-feathered knight Lao Wei, who died in the battle, can finally fulfill his dream of being a "nobleman".
The ministers who stayed in the imperial city with the Holy Emperor also received corresponding rewards, but they were only playing the role of soy sauce, and compared with those important heroes, the strength of the rewards was not so great.
Of course, there are rewards and punishments. Those nobles and ministers who escaped from the battle, the Holy Emperor would not be polite to them. Afterwards, who should be dismissed, who should be dismissed, who should have cut off the lord, who told you to ignore your own master at the critical moment, and only care about your own life? If even this can be tolerated, then the Holy Emperor's temper will inevitably be too good.
Grace and power are given, rewards and punishments are clear, and a good superior must do this. The Holy Emperor had clearly mastered both of these methods.
After the coup d'état, most of the forces in the imperial capital were reshuffled, some people fell into the middle of the road, and some people took the opportunity to rise, which is also a constant drama for thousands of years. After more than ten days of disturbance and chaos, the order of the past was gradually restored. For ordinary people, this coup d'état has no effect on them, and when everything is calm, life will still be the same, nothing different.
It's just that for Song Li, the changes are still not small.
Regarding the unfair treatment on the commendation order, many people complained about him, but Song Li did not take it to heart. The Holy Emperor's jealousy of the Ming Palace's Mansion has not been a day or two, so this result is not surprising to him. With this old fellow's precautionary and calculating habits, it would be strange if he didn't do something.
Song Daguan has the artifact of Emperor Fire hidden in his body, and his ultimate ideal is not a country like the Holy Lion Empire at all, but to be the supreme powerhouse of the entire continent. (http://)。 So the Holy Emperor's little ninety-nine, he felt bored at all. Of course, the Holy Lion Empire is his roots, and there are his parents, relatives, his friends and brothers, and his intimate lovers, and he is not ready to give up. With Song Li's personality, if the Holy Emperor really took them under the knife, he would not hesitate to fight back.
Frankly speaking, who is rare? With his current level of alchemy, he can completely use the elixir to cultivate a group of masters above the fetal period to form a big killing weapon like the Blue Shield Knights. Isn't there a quota of 2,000 guards in Prince Rong's Mansion and his Xiaoming Palace?OK, all these 2,000 guards will be cultivated into masters to form two elite knights. Under strict training, how much combat power can two thousand masters above the fetal period burst out? Just look at the advantage of the Blue Shield Knights over ordinary cavalry under the Imperial City.
If there is really any trouble, these two thousand master knights are enough to fight in and out of the imperial capital, so that those city guards are helpless.
