On this day, when Princess Yongning left the palace, Zhu Yijun had already gone to the Queen Mother of the two palaces to ask for peace and arrived at the Wenhua Palace.

There is no feast today, and Zhu Yijun came to Wenhua Hall for something more important: to convene a cabinet meeting.

The cabinet meeting is generally not in the Mandarin Hall, but in the cabinet, which is called the cabinet meeting. Cabinet meeting, the emperor will occasionally directly visit the cabinet to participate, and occasionally announce that the cabinet cabinets are old to the designated place to convene, this place after Longqing, most of the time is the Wenhua Palace. After Zhu Yijun became pro-government, he was more direct, and nine out of ten of them were set here, as if to commemorate something.

said that it was a cabinet meeting, but in fact, there were not only five cabinet elders attending the meeting, but also one person, Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry.

Yang Wei was originally a "non-party person", neither the heart school nor the real school, but he had served in Xuanda, Shanxi and Shaanxi for a long time, and had a close friendship with Zhang Siwei.

Since Yang Tianguan attended the meeting, it means that the topic of today's cabinet meeting has been very clear, and it must be related to Quan's affairs.

At two o'clock, Zhu Yijun came to the Wenhua Palace. The five cabinet elders and Yang Tianguan had already waited in advance, and when they saw that the emperor had arrived, they all stepped forward to see him.

Zhu Yijun seemed to be slightly clearer than a month ago, his complexion didn't look very good, he kept frowning, waved his hand at the moment, and said, "No need to be polite." Chen Ju, give a seat to all gentlemen and Yang Qing. ”

Although Yang Wei is a celestial official whose power is not inferior to that of the elder, because he has never been an official on the feast, and he is not a cabinet minister after all, he cannot be regarded as a "gentleman".

The six important ministers thanked the emperor, and their own little eunuchs invited them to sit down at Chen Ju's instructions, and the emperor himself had already sat on the throne.

Zhu Yijun's face was slightly cold, and he said lightly: "What is the matter with Mr. Xuan and Yang Qing coming here today, I don't think I need to say much. Mr. Shen, can the cabinet now have a charter for the reward of Gao pragmatic to quell the rebellion in the northwest? What do you say about the disposal of Gao Guangxian, Liang Wenmeng and others? In addition, what are the resolutions on the rewards and punishments of the general soldiers, deputy generals (i.e., deputy general soldiers), staff generals, etc. of the general of the town? ”

In the end, he has been an emperor for many years, and Zhu Yijun's three words here are quite particular. For the reward of high pragmatism, he used the "charter"; For the disposal of Gao and Liang, "said"; And for the reward and punishment of a military general, it is a "resolution".

Of course, there is a difference between these three words.

At this time, the "constitution" was slightly different from that of later generations, and it was to the effect that it was a principled arrangement, but in general it was a relatively rough meaning, or a directional opinion; "Said" was even more uncertain, but asked the cabinet about its general attitude on the matter; And the "resolution" is definitely more, which means that the emperor generally does not object, and even if there is an adjustment, the scope will not be too large, or the objects involved will not be too much.

Zhu Yijun's three questions have actually "set the tone" for today's imperial cabinet meeting in advance, and as six important ministers who have been in the officialdom for many years, it is not difficult to hear the emperor's voiceover. However, the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to say whether he listens to the greeting.

Shen Shixing was named by Zhu Yijun, and of course he had to come out to answer. I saw that although Shen Yuanfu was sitting and didn't move, he still bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "The three things mentioned by the emperor have been discussed by the cabinet, and the ministers have come together for the emperor's decision." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, although his face was expressionless, but his words were very polite: "There is Mr. Lao Shen." ”

Shen Shixing cleared his throat and said: "Regarding the rewards and punishments for the merits of the military ministers of Zhuzhen, the Ministry of War has already inscribed a detailed article, and Elder Wu Ge has made a preliminary examination of it, made a few small adjustments, and then took it out in the cabinet to discuss it.

Generally speaking, the Cabinet agrees with the revised view. But the minister thought that the reward for Li Rusong was a little thin, and it could be a little more generous, so as to meet the emperor's intention of selecting talents and using energy, and it could also make Li Chengliang feel that the emperor cared for the old ministers. ”

Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, but turned to Wu Dui and asked, "Mr. Wu, how is Li Rusong's reward arranged now?" ”

Wu Dui took out a piece of Chen, opened it and took a look, and read: "Back to the emperor, Ning Yuanbo responded to the attack, the chief military officer of Shanxi, and the chief military officer of Shaanxi to rebel against Li Rusong was promoted to the first level because of the merits of the northwest, and he was appointed as the chief military officer of the sea defense in Jiliao, Baoding, Shandong and other places, and the commander of Jinyiwei, the son of Yin, was the commander of the Tongzhi, and the reward was fifty taels of silver. ”

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, and then asked Shen Shixing: "Mr. Shen, this seems to be a normal reward, but you think it's a little thin, I don't know what you think?" ”

Shen Shixing said: "If it is only based on the normal beheading, there is nothing wrong with this promotion, but although Li Rusong Zhuang Langwei was not beheaded in the first battle, such as Totokh and Yile Duqi, he played a decisive role, so the minister thought that he could be rewarded at his discretion." ”

"What Mr. Shen said also has a point." Zhu Yijun nodded and said to Wu Dui: "Li Rusong can be served?" ”

Wu Dui replied: "There is a big red silk unicorn suit. ”

"Then give another flying fish." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "The reward will also be increased by twenty ...... Thirty taels. ”

Before Shen Shixing could speak, Wu Dui had already immediately said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Shen Shixing, who was next to him, was blocked by his words, and he had already opened his mouth, but finally decided to forget it, closed his mouth again, and remained silent again.

Don't look at Zhu Yijun's entangled efforts to raise Li Rusong's reward from fifty taels to eighty taels, in fact, this really can't be said to be stingy. For example, when Qi Jiguang played some "big victories", the reward was often only twenty taels or thirty taels, so at the beginning, Wu Hui rewarded Li Rusong with fifty taels of silver, which was already quite generous.

And Zhu Yijun added another thirty taels, which is undoubtedly a "generous gift". In some TV dramas, the emperor rewards thousands or even tens of thousands of taels at every turn, which basically does not conform to historical facts, at least certainly not in line with the historical facts of the Ming Dynasty.

If even Li Rusong really wants to reward tens of thousands of taels, how much will Gao Pragmatic get? After this battle, all the participants were added together, and the treasury went bankrupt.

Zhu Yijun saw that Shen Shixing had "no objection", smiled a little, and asked, "Mr. Shen, what's next?" ”

Shen Shixing's face didn't see any other meaning, and he was not discouraged, and said calmly: "Regarding the agreement between Gao Guangxian and Liang Wenmeng's guilt, the opinions of the cabinet are quite different. ”

Zhu Yijun's eyes froze: "What do you think?" ”

Shen Shixing's face was a little ugly, and he said: "The minister thinks that one of the two of them is harshly criticizing his subordinates, deducting military salaries, and causing him to raise troops, which is really the main crime." Even if this crime does not lead to death, it should be removed from office and removed from office, and then interrogated in detail by the judicial department to determine specific culpability; The other person has no way to go, looks forward and backward, hesitates to indulge in the enemy, and fails to defend the battle, and the minister thinks that it is enough to be dismissed from his post and wait for investigation. ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at the rest of the ministers: "If you gentlemen have any objections, you might as well talk about it." ”

Xu Guo saw that the emperor was looking at him, so he said: "The minister and Brother Xinzhai are attached to the discussion of Brother Huanzhou. ”

Xinzhai refers to Zhang Xueyan, and Huanzhou refers to Wu Dui, so Zhu Yijun looked towards Wu Dui.

"The minister thinks that Yuanfu's words are biased." Wu Dui's speech was as clear as fighting a war, and said: "Yuan Fu said that Gao Guangxian has no way to make the emperor, but Gao Guangxian is the governor, Liang Wen Meng is the governor, Liang Wen Meng can't be regarded as Gao Guangxian's 'subordinates', and he can't talk about the imperial subordinates." If it refers to Bibai, then Bibai has always been illegal, and has been corrected by the governor and Fu many times, but he is from a Mongolian background, although the governor is strict, it is inconvenient to deal with it easily, which is also understandable, and this is the case everywhere in the nine sides.

As for Liang Wenmeng, the so-called deduction of military salaries, Gao Pragmatic had already made it clear before. That's not a deduction, it's just tailor-made - this year's military salary is not as good as in previous years, Liang asked Meng, as a governor, if there is no plan, if you eat in the first half of the year, will all the tens of thousands of troops in Ningxia go to drink the northwest wind in the second half of the year? Bibai rebelled because of this, not because Liang asked Meng, but because he was a wolf and did not obey the teaching!

As for harshly criticizing his subordinates, the minister wanted to ask, in addition to Bibai, which subordinate did Liang ask Meng to criticize? Zhang Weizhong would rather die than be a traitor, if Liang asked Meng Ye to reprimand him, would he still be like this? The minister thought that it was not necessarily, but it can be seen that what Liang asked Meng Zhi to do, only for Bibai.

So why did he target Bibai? Isn't it now proven that Bibai did have bad intentions? Liang asked Meng Cha to know about his ambitions, considering that he was a Mongol, and restricting him, the minister did not know what the crime was. In addition, after Liang asked Meng to be captured, he was iron-clad and unyielding, this is always a fact, right?

Previously, the pragmatic family Ding rescued Liang Wenmeng from the death row in Ningxia, and as long as he was the governor of Ningxia, as long as he was a little soft, how could he do this to him? From this point of view, at least it can be seen that this person's loyalty, even if there is some accident in his actions, after all, his feelings are pitiful, and I hope the emperor will investigate it carefully. ”

Zhu Yijun frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Wang Jiaping: "Mr. Wang, you haven't spoken, do you have anything to say?" ”

Although Wang Jiaping's status among the cabinet ministers is crane-tailed, he is also a cabinet minister and also has the right to speak. Therefore, he nodded and said, "The minister thinks that the opinions of Yuanfu and the three cabinet officials are one too harsh, and the other is lenient. Gao Guangxian was indecisive, it is true that the northwest is barren, but it is also a fact that the battle and defense are misguided, and they cannot be punished, but they don't have to be excessive.

Liang Wenmeng is the same, although it has the reason that Wu Ge Lao said, there is also the result of the fall of Ningxia. If loyalty is not rewarded, and mistakes are not punished, how can the court govern, and how can the emperor govern the people? ”

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "I have a general understanding of what Mr. Wang means, but what does Mr. Wang think should be done with it?" ”

"Reward merit is reward, punishment is punishment." Wang Jiaping said angrily: "Gao Guang can be idle first; Liang asked Meng Ke to give a memorial arch of loyalty and righteousness in his hometown, but he was dismissed and returned to his hometown. ”

Everyone looked at the emperor, but Zhu Yijun was very calm, nodded slightly, and said, "I think let's do it." ”

Everyone originally wanted to wait for the emperor to explain why he made such a decision, but Zhu Yijun didn't seem to want to talk more, but turned his head slightly and said to Shen Shixing: "Mr. Shen, it's time to say that the reward is high-spirited, right?" ”

Shen Shixing inevitably sighed a little in his heart, in fact, when Zhu Yijun put out three questions at the beginning, the pragmatic reward question was the first, but Shen Shixing deliberately answered in turn and put this question at the end. Who knew that the emperor's attitude towards the first two questions seemed to be clear a long time ago, and it didn't take much time to make a decision, and then immediately asked about what he was most concerned about.

The sigh in his heart returned to his heart, but there was not the slightest trace on Shen Shixing's face, he just replied calmly: "Your Majesty, regarding the reward for high pragmatism, the first thing to determine is who Zhuang Langwei has for strategizing in the first battle.

This merit belongs to Gao Pragmatic, or this credit belongs to Wei Xuezeng, which has a great impact on the reward of Gao Pragmatic in this battle, and it must be investigated. ”

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly: "In this case, who does Mr. Shen think is reasonable for this?" ”

"Wei Xuezeng." Shen Shixing's answer this time was very direct: "The dynasty has its own laws, and officials have their own appointments and dismissals, and the merits of wartime are naturally obtained by those in office. Moreover, Gao Shicheng was not Wei Xuezeng's predecessor, he only exercised his power because Wei Xuezeng did not go to office. The minister thinks that the subject and the guest are different and cannot be confused; There are people who are rewarded, and they cannot be misplaced. ”

Zhu Yijun was still noncommittal, and asked the others: "What do you think?" ”

This time the situation was different, Xu Guo expressed his agreement with Shen Shixing's view, the reason is that "high pragmatism has real merits, but the law of the country is great", so he thinks that the rules cannot be broken.

Zhang Xueyan and Wu Dui said that this credit should be attributed to Gao Pragmatic, the reason is that "De Mao Mao official, merit Mao Mao reward", whoever should give the credit to whom. These two sentences are easy to explain: those who are virtuous will be given high officials, and those who have great merit will be given rich rewards. The original sentence is from "Shangshu Zhongyu's Message", and everyone here is reciting it backwards.
