The envoy of the Duoyan tribe knelt on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The little emperor was on the throne, and he was angry in his heart.

And the Ma interpreter next to the envoy also didn't expect this scene, seeing that the Son of Heaven was happy, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Duoyan Department said that they offended Your Majesty, it is really a capital crime, and I beg Your Majesty to spare your life." He also implored His Majesty not to raise troops to attack the Duoyan Department and cut off the mutual market, and they were willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty forever. ”

The little emperor snorted disdainfully and said: "Former and backward, if it is not a letter of state from Lin Qing's family, how dare you be afraid to obey it, in the opinion of the people?" ”

Zhang Siwei stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you can only be virtuous if you are afraid of power, and Your Majesty can order the Tabu Bag of the Duoyan Department to investigate the matter of the Black Carboniferous Ministry, and bind its first offender before the crime can be forgiven." ”

The little emperor nodded and said, "That's right." ”

At that moment, the interpreter translated this to the envoy of the Duoyan Ministry. The other party knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying a few words in his mouth. Ma Yiguan replied: "The envoys of the Duoyan Department said that they are willing to act according to His Majesty's wishes, even if they are swords and fires, they will not give up. ”

The little emperor was immediately overjoyed, and the rest of the ministers also understood what the ministers knew about the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but the interpreter's exaggerated words at this time, everyone did not care, only the icing on the cake, saying something that relied on His Majesty's heavenly might, and the four seas surrendered.

The little emperor couldn't help but laugh.

At that time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites ordered the envoys to retreat. After several more bows, the envoy and his retinue departed tremblingly.

Seeing that Duoyan was so respectful, the little emperor said to Lin Yanchao: "It doesn't cost a soldier, it doesn't cost a dollar or a meter, Lin Qing's family only uses a piece of paper to stun Fanbang, how can I reward you for such a meritorious service?" What do you think about it? ”

Lin Yanchao saw that the envoy had left the hall at this moment, and it was also time for him to force himself to retreat. At this time, don't get carried away, you must always remember when you are in the officialdom, and all the credit must be given to the emperor.

This is the long-term way to be an official.

So Lin Yanchao came out of the class and said: "The national letter is the talent of His Majesty, and the minister is just dictating, and he does not dare to say the slightest credit." ”

Your Majesty is thinking, and the minister is just dictating.

This sycophant is really refreshing.

Wang Jiaping and Zhu Geng almost beat their chests, they have been treating the Son of Heaven as a cursive edict for many years, but they didn't expect this sentence, but now they still learned this trick from Lin Yanchao.

However, at this moment, the officials in the palace can only praise Lin Yanchao, and the Son of Heaven wants them to discuss Lin Yanchao's merits. Let them, the four-rank officials, flatter Lin Yanchao, the sixth-grade official, how can this be done, but flattering the Son of Heaven will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Yes, Your Majesty is talented, Lin Zhongyun just goes with the flow."

"Your Majesty, you are wise and martial, not a saint, how can Lin Zhongyun write such an eloquent text."

"My Ming soldiers are full of food, and Duoyan is only a county compared to Daming, how dare I disobey it."

After listening to what the officials said, the little emperor was even more happy, so he said "modestly": "If it is not Lin Qing's family, it is not enough to say what I mean in my chest." ”

Although the officials said that the little emperor was very happy, he also understood in his heart that they were flattering him.

For Lin Yanchao, the little emperor felt even more appreciative, changed other ministers, and today there is such a limelight, even if he gets carried away, he is very arrogant, but he didn't expect Lin Yanchao to be so cautious and not arrogant.

"That's true, but it's worth it." The little emperor said resolutely.

As soon as these words came out, it was the Son of Heaven who was going to reward Lin Yanchao as the palace. All the ministers thought to themselves, Lin Yanchao had made such a great contribution to the imperial court, and it was natural for the Son of Heaven to be rewarded heavily. It's just that Lin Yanchao is so young, he has only been an official for two years, and he is already a sixth grade, and it is not possible to be promoted in a short period of time.

As for the ministry, he is also a Japanese speaker, belonging to the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and he is also extremely noble, and there is no better than him in the same official position, how can this be rewarded?

"I will reward Lin Qing's family, fifty colored satin, one hundred taels of gold, five hundred taels of silver, and then upgrade to the first rank." The little emperor said to Lin Yanchao.

All the officials listened to it and said in their hearts, this is a generous reward, colored satin, gold, and silver are already very rich, and the promotion to the first rank is to raise the rank of loose official to a higher level, and can be given to family members.

This is generally awarded by the imperial court after the official has completed three years of examination.

At this time, Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to accept it." ”

The little emperor frowned, Lin Yanchao was enough to give in once or twice, and if he gave in again, it would make him unhappy.

But Lin Yanchao said: "Fanbang's surrender is a soldier's blood, and the minister's life is just a word minister, and he only knows how to dance and write ink on weekdays. If Your Majesty really wants to reward the ministers, I implore you to give gold and silver money to compensate the soldiers who died this time, so as to comfort the souls of loyal souls in the sky. ”

Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, the little emperor couldn't help but be stunned, and the martial ministers present were also moved when they heard it, and this went to their hearts.

The Ming Dynasty controls the military with literature, the military generals are lowly, and the civil servants do not take the credit of the military generals, let alone give them back.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lin Zhongyun's words are reasonable, Liaodong is newly defeated, Li Chengliang pleaded guilty, and the court can be appeased, one is to calm the hearts of the soldiers, and the other is to let him make meritorious contributions." ”

The little emperor couldn't help but nod when he heard this, if he said that Lin Yanchao was flattering himself, but now these words are coming from his heart, and this person is really pretending to be the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

The little emperor smiled and said: "How could I not know, there has already been an arrangement, give 100 colored satin, 200 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and this money will be allocated from my inner treasury!" ”

The inner treasury of the Son of Heaven is the emperor's small treasury, which is not under the control of the household department.

The emperor paid out of his own pocket to compensate the soldiers of Liaodong, which made the ministers praise in unison.

The little emperor saw that he had won the praise of hundreds of officials, and he felt that Lin Yanchao's heart was for himself.

At this time, Lin Yanchao saw that Feng Bao whispered a few words on the side of the Son of Heaven.

The emperor listened to a look of deep agreement, and immediately said: "Since Lin Qing's family doesn't want to reward you, I will give you a bullfighting suit!" ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised.

The Son of Heaven gives Wenchen, generally the first product is given to the python costume, the second product is given to the flying fish suit, the third grade is given to the bullfighting suit, the fourth or fifth grade is given to the unicorn suit, and the first class is given to one level.

But giving Lin Yanchao a bullfighting suit is already a favor that is not easily granted. Among the several speakers, except for He Luowen and Chen Siyu, there was no one else.

He Luowen has been a lecturer for the Son of Heaven for many years, and he has been the chief lecturer before he was given, as for Chen Siyu who has been in charge of the Hanlin Academy for many years, the Son of Heaven has given it to him, but Lin Yanchao can also be given it when he was the first lecturer.

Why does Lin Qing's family still want to resign? The little emperor said.

At this time, Lin Yanchao also knew that he could no longer shirk, and he should go now.
