Chapter 238: Who has merit and fault?

East Palace.

Zhu Houzhao had no class that morning, or in other words, he was waiting for Zhang Zhou to come to teach him, and he was listening to Liu Jin spit out Xingzi Hengfei's account of what he knew about the battle in Liaodong.

"Cannonballs fell from the sky and could hit three or four miles away. After landing, they exploded in a large area. The Tatar cavalry had no place to hide, and some of them died without knowing how. Then It is even more powerful than the Weiwei Tian gunpowder, which is just buried on the ground, waiting for the Tatars to step on it, while Master Zhang's cannons are meant to hit wherever they go."

Liu Jin said it very energetically.

Among the audience, Zhu Houzhao was also very excited.

Only Gao Feng and others who were listening by the side disagreed. You, Liu, really regard Zhang Zhou as your backer now. You forgot how to target Zhang Zhou before. Now you want to blow Zhang Zhou to the sky and the earth. No, do you still want to show some respect?

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "I know that with Mr. Zhang here, everything can be solved. In the future, when I go to the battlefield, let him do something like this." With an artillery that can shoot twenty miles, and a telescope that can see a hundred miles away, I will hit whoever I want to see who still has the ability to go against me."

This Xia Gaofeng and others were ashamed again.

I thought Liu Jin had gone too far by bragging about Zhang Zhou, but I didn’t expect that the little prince’s respect for Zhang Zhou seemed to be even higher.

This pair of strange masters and servants, the Tatars, haven’t regarded Zhang Zhou as a god yet. You have worshiped Zhang Zhou as a god first.

Gu Dayong walked over and reminded, “Your Highness, Artillery. They can only hit one or two miles away at most. Although Mr. Zhang's cannon is powerful, it is also because the Hulu are unprepared. After this battle, they will not dare to approach the Ming Dynasty's city gate."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Are you questioning the power of the artillery?"

"Uh, I don't dare." Gu Dayong immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Nowadays, even those who say relatively neutral and fair remarks will be looked down upon by the prince, let alone those who are unfavorable to Zhang Zhou.

This pair of master and servant, as well as this pair of father and son were fascinated

Zhu Houzhao said, "The first time I use this kind of cannon, I can shoot two or three miles. Is it too much to fight four or five miles or even ten miles? Besides, if the Tatars dare not even approach the city gates of the Ming Dynasty, will there be any wars in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty in the future? The Ming Dynasty’s army can also push When the artillery leaves the city, the Tatars will not be able to flee."

Gu Dayong originally wanted to say, Your Highness, you are too optimistic.

But after thinking about it carefully, it sounds quite reasonable.

If this kind of artillery is so powerful, then why worry about the Tatar artillery? Don't dare to be there. If Ming Dynasty installs more doors in every place, peace can be guaranteed

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, let him come, let him come."

< p>Now Zhu Houzhao has been taking classes with Zhang Zhou for a few days, and he already regards Zhang Zhou as a teacher. It’s not that he really takes his studies seriously, but that he wants to curry favor with Zhang Zhou.To realize his ambition of leading troops to level the grassland in the future.

If Zhang Zhou cannot be cured of and Zhang Zhou does not provide him with powerful weapons, his dream of conquering the grassland may never come true.

The meaning of life in the next few decades will be tied to Zhang Zhou, how can we not pay attention to it

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, Master Zhang is currently in the Fengtian Palace. Today is the day to reward him for his merits. I heard that he might be given a marquis or something." "The marquis is not high." Zhu Houzhao didn't seem satisfied with this level.

Liu Jin said, "Your Highness, the Marquis is already very high. Wang Weining has made so many military exploits in the northwest, and he is just a Marquis of Weining. Moreover, Master Zhang is just trying his best, and he will assist the Prince in the future." Your Highness will pacify the grassland."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, why are you in a hurry? Father, he has no ambitions to conquer the grassland. I am different from him. I am so talented and resourceful. Let's talk about father. Even if you play checkers with me, you will be defeated. Liu Jin, learn from Mr. Zhang and let you be by your side when I go to the grassland."

Zhu Houzhao is now happily looking forward to conquering the grassland in the future. scene.

Liu Jinzhi was so proud that he glanced at the eunuchs around him and said, "This slave will definitely learn hard."

"That also depends on whether Mr. Zhang is willing to teach you. , your attitude must be sincere, and you don’t have to learn everything. You have learned everything, and I have some things to do, but it is up to you to learn the complicated art of war. I don’t want to memorize those obscure art of war essentials. It sounds very complicated. "Headache"

Now Gao Feng and others felt even more chills on their backs.

This naughty boy, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, seems to be too similar to the rumored emperor named Men. They all want to rely on a eunuch to go to war

But it seems that This one is better, at least there is the awesome Zhang Bingkuan.

"Go," Zhu Houzhao said, "go to Fengtian Palace and watch. If it's over there, come back early and inform me. I'm waiting to learn artillery warfare from him."

Yu Qiu Ju came out and reminded, "Your Highness, you have forgotten that His Majesty does not allow you to send people to keep an eye on you."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "I am dedicated to learning, and my father is not If you don’t support me, you should all learn from Liu Jin and don’t always cause trouble to me.”

“Yes”

Qiu Ju also looked sad.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao liked to ask him about military and political matters, especially when it came to cavalry operations. Because he had learned some related content before.

But now Liu Jin not only manages the prince's entertainment, but also wants to get involved in leading troops to fight, which gradually reduces the living space of the remaining eunuchs in the East Palace.

The sense of crisis runs through every eunuch present, including Liu Jin.

Inside Fengtian Hall.

Xiao Jing will give a further summary of the situation in Liaodong, because the end of the war is approaching.In two days, the news was sent out after the troops returned, so it was almost possible to count all the results.

But what makes Zhu Youtang a little regretful is that in the final statistics, the number of deaths among Duoyan's three cavalrymen still did not exceed a thousand.

Nine hundred and seventy people

Whether it is more than a thousand, there seems to be a big difference in merit, especially this time not only Zhu Feng and Zhang Yanling will be rewarded, but Zhang Zhou will also be rewarded.

You must know that in the last battle at the Piantou Pass, in the end, he was only promoted to a marquis or an earl. If he were to be promoted too much this time, there would be something that the civil service group has always been concerned about. The problem of "precedent" is that civil servants should follow the rules when doing things, which is to use established examples as an introduction. If the credit last time was only rewarded like that, this time it should be more gentle.

But fortunately, it seems that Marquis Zhang Zhousheng is no longer troubled this time.

"I originally wanted to give Zhang Qing's family the position of Marquis Yongning, but he repeatedly declined, so some changes were made."

Yongningbo was the former governor of the Ming Dynasty. Tan Guang, a famous general who repeatedly defeated the Tartars, was granted the title. However, Tan Guang did not obtain the title of Prince Yongning during his lifetime, so he did not pass on the title of Count Yongning. He was only awarded the title of Marquis of Yongning after his death.

In history, the title of Count Yongning was conferred to Wang Tianrui, the father of Queen Wang, after Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo ascended the throne.

This time Zhu Youtang intends to give Zhang Zhou the title of "Yongning Marquis". This is not only to take Yongning in the northwest, but also to reflect the deeds of Zhang Zhou and Tan Guang. After all, Zhang Zhou is also a broken man. The credit achieved by the Tatars.

Zhu Youtang said again, "I am not saying that I will not award the title of Marquis Yongning. For the time being, I will note that this is his contribution to helping the Ming Dynasty defeat the enemy on all sides. I want to promote him to the title of Marquis of Yongning." Tongzhi, the governor of the Governor's Office of the Hou Army, was assigned to the arsenal of the Ministry of War, and he supervised the construction of artillery. He stayed in the Hanlin Academy to serve as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy and often served as a lecturer at the banquet. I will reward the rest at my discretion."

There are too many official positions.

When Zhu Youtang finished speaking, all the ministers present stared with big eyes.

Wuxun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhang Zhou held the position of the Governor's Office, he was still a civil official in name. After all, the emperor said that Zhang Zhou's daily errands were the business of the Hanlin Academy.

On the other hand, the civil servants are wondering, Zhang Zhou is both a civil servant and a military officer. Is he a civil servant or a military commander? What will be his position in the court in the future? Even without a title, he can directly receive the title. The position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Houjun Governor's Mansion

Also, it is said that his title should be recorded first. What does this mean?

Since ancient times, those with titles should be rewarded. I have already rewarded them, even if I refuse, then I won’t reward them in the future. Why do I need to write them down?

Seeing that the people present were silent, Zhu Youtang said coldly, "What do you think?"< /p>

The ministers present were very embarrassed.

Herein lies the trouble.

It is not easy to object.

Zhang Zhou won the title for his meritorious service.It was justifiable. There were no civil servants recruited at all. The emperor made a note of it for him. He just asked him to take a false post in the Governor's Palace and continue to work in the Hanlin Academy. What's wrong with being a minister? As for the position of the doctor in the Ministry of War, the emperor also said , just for his convenience to supervise the construction of artillery, and does not need to be responsible for the affairs within the yamen.

It seems that the only way to protest is to directly promote Zhang Zhou to the Imperial Academy.

He has only been in the Hanlin Academy for half a month, and he has been promoted to minister

That’s right

Even if he has outstanding military achievements, it has nothing to do with his civil service.

Then a bunch of people waited for the three cabinet ministers, or the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Rites to come out to object, and then fell silent.

"If there is no opinion, then the matter will be settled." Zhu Youtang said.

Still no one said anything.

"The official department." Zhu Youtang said.

"I'm here."

Tu Yu came out.

Zhu Youtang said, "The Ministry of Civil Affairs will confirm his official position and other matters, and the governor's affairs will be settled for him. In addition, I will send some more royal guards to protect him. Now he is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty." , I also explained that he would not leave the city unless there was an important matter, and no one would visit him for no reason in the future, and then give him a mansion."

Zhang Zhou was still listening there indifferently. With.

After all, what was said before was all agreed in advance. He also knew that the emperor and the civil servants had reached an agreement, and now they were just announcing the results.

When he heard that he was going to be given a house, he immediately stared.

The ministers here are really not qualified to object to the matter of granting a house. To whom the emperor wants to give a house, that is the emperor’s own business, and the ministers need to come out and give their opinions casually and say if it is inconvenient

p>

"Is there a courtyard in Beijing suitable for Bingkuan to live in?" Zhu Youtang asked Dai Yi in front of the ministers.

Dai Yi first looked up at Zhang Zhou and said with a smile, "Back to Your Majesty, Li Guang once built a mansion in Beijing. It is located in the north of the city. The feng shui is excellent. Maybe it can be given to Mr. Zhang." ."

"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction, "That's it."

Good guy.

The ministers present were all shouting secretly.

I originally thought Zhang Zhou looked like Li Guang, but now the emperor doesn’t hide it anymore. Yes, I regard him as Li Guang No. 2, and an enhanced version of Li Guang.

Li Guang’s house was given to him to live in. Do you have any opinions?

Zhu Youtang also added, “If there is something unsuitable in terms of Feng Shui, the Zhang Qing family can do it themselves.” As long as it doesn’t exceed Wang Jue’s rules, everything should be in line with it.”

“Yes,” Dai Yi agreed with a smile.

Have a look.

There is no harm without comparison.

Previously, Li Guang introduced water from Yuquan Mountain to his house to form a small artificial river. A lot of people criticized it and said that it ruined the Feng Shui of the Ming Dynasty. But now the emperor explained that if this cannot be done Zhang ZhoujueIf you are satisfied, you can also let him continue to strengthen it. In short, everything is for Zhang Zhou to live comfortably.

Zhang Zhou stood there.

Getting the reward of a house was something to be happy about. Moreover, he had been to Li Guang's house on the day of the raid, so he was indeed very envious.

That big house can accommodate hundreds of people. It is a wealthy and prosperous place within the capital, not a house outside the city, so it is naturally valuable.

It was really given to me.

Zhang Zhou was about to think about the strange looks from the people around him.

But thinking about it again, this group of people have long equated themselves with Li Guang. It is necessary to care about what they think. Now it is enough to care about what the emperor thinks and what the prince thinks in the future.

"Your Majesty." Ma Wensheng came out and said, "Now that the First World War in Liaodong is over, I don't know who should continue to take charge of military affairs in Liaodong. The former censor Zhang Yu of Youqiandu, I don't know how to deal with it and Liaodong." Military affairs and other matters involving Ningyuan should also make decisions."

The general meaning is.

The war in Ningyuan is over. Previously, a bunch of "powerful dragons" were sent to suppress the "local snakes". The matter should also be over.

If Zhu Feng and the others are left in Ningyuan, I am afraid that the next step will be a fight between the Beijing faction and the local faction over military rewards. If it gets too big, there may be a mutiny.

The main credit goes to Zhu Feng, and it was Zhu Feng and the others who were promoted to high positions, but the war was done by local soldiers. Even if Ren Liang and the others knew that they did not contribute much, they could not judge the merits. When asking for rewards, he would be able to balance his mind when he saw others being promoted to official positions while he himself received very few rewards.

Zhu Youtang said, "I should have mentioned the three uncles Anbian, Jianchang and Pingjiang." It’s all about people’s merits.”

I talked for a long time, mentioning Zhang Zhou’s merits.

Now the emperor seems to have remembered that the main executors of this war are these three.

Originally the credit belongs to the three of them.

But why do we think today that Zhang Bingkuan should be rewarded first?

"Uncle An Bian led the troops to the expedition with courage and strategy. It can be said that he carried out the opinions of the Zhang Qing family very well." Completely, he has made great contributions in this battle, and I am going to make him the Marquis of Anbian and give him a world certificate."

"As for Ping Jiangbo, he personally led the troops to pursue and gained a lot, but he lost his battle at Piantou Pass. Sometimes there were faults, and the merits and demerits were considered to be equal, so the Lord stopped moving. He increased his salary to 1,400 dan and transferred him to Yansui to succeed Duke Cheng as the chief military officer of Yansui."

Zhu Youtang seemed to finally see at this time that Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, was just a loser without Zhang Zhouer's advice.

In the emperor's eyes, Zhu Fu was not even as good as his son Zhu Feng.

So after Chen Rui proved himself in Liaodong this time, the emperor immediately transferred him to Yansui to replace Zhu Fu, who had been criticized a lot recently.

Chen Rui also proved his worth with his military exploits and revitalized his military career.If you gain prestige in the army, even if you only increase your salary, you will be able to feel proud in the army in the future.

But the name of "Chen Liangjiu" will probably not be erased for a while. Unless Wang Weining burps early, otherwise with Wang Weining around, whether it is "Chen Liangjiu" or "Zhu Shuotou", they will Living in someone else's shadow.

Wang Yue was also the only one of the Ming Dynasty generals in the northwest who had the ability to break away from Zhang Zhou and set up his own business, and who could also intimidate the grasslands.

Wang Yue is also very knowledgeable. Although he can break away from Zhang Zhou, he prefers to be bound to Zhang Zhou. This is called awakening.

"As for Jianchang Bo."

Zhu Youtang finally talked about the deeds of a person who was of concern to the civil servants and Wu Xun present.

When the emperor rewarded Zhang Zhou, no one came out to object because they felt that they could not object.

But now if the emperor wants to easily give the second son of the Zhang family a promotion, we will see if we don’t involve him to death. But we clearly remember that this bastard went to the northwest with Dai Zui, and was later transferred to Liaodong.

I don’t want to punish him for his meritorious service, but I also want to reward him

"In this battle, Jianchang Bo also proved that he was not a bad person. He had the courage to make meritorious deeds for the Ming Dynasty, and even killed him with his own hands. An enemy bandit makes me look at him with admiration."

"But he had done a lot of harm to the place before, so let's consider him guilty in half this time."

What

When the ministers heard this, something was wrong.

Has the emperor changed his gender today?

Having half of his sins means that he still retains half of his sins, right? Not only will he not be rewarded, but he will continue to bear the guilt

Even if you can be exempted from guilt, you can be rewarded for your merits or not. It seems that your Majesty only has Zhang Bingkuan in your heart at the moment. Even your beloved Zhang family brothers have now fallen out of favor and been relegated to the cold palace

If that's the case, then why did you send the second son of the Zhang family to Liaodong to look for trouble? Wouldn't it be better for someone else to take the credit?

"I am going to go to Yansui with Uncle Ping Jiang to help him." "It's a matter of guarding the place." Zhu Youtang said, "Do you have any objections?"

It was not easy for Zhang Zhou to object before.

This time the big guy still didn’t object because he didn’t want to object.

Your Majesty’s move is very wise, and the ministers fully agree with it.

Xie Qian walked out and smiled. Before he could say anything, everyone else was thinking, why are you, Xie Yuqiao, coming out to object at this time? Go back home

Xie Qian did not speak for Zhang Yanling. , he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Pingjiang and Uncle Jianchang have already received rewards. I wonder how Uncle Anbian should be dispatched." Beijing, I will use it again. "Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
