From the first year of Jiajing to the present, the Ming Dynasty did not give any warrior knighthood, in history, to the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the military attache was only Li Chengliang alone.

There is no way, Li Chengliang's military exploits are too heavy, and he is promoted differently from every Ming general.

Yu Dayou and Liu Xian were the firefighting captains of the Ming Dynasty, how could there be a rebellion in the south, let them lead the troops over, and the rebellion was quelled in a year or two.

Qi Jiguang is a big killer, and in addition to killing the Japanese invaders, the other first-level skills can be ignored, and he is placed in the southeast, and there will be no war in the southeast; Put him in Jizhen, there will be no more war in Jizhen, you can turn decay into magic, and the frontier blockade is impregnable, so that the enemy doesn't want to fight.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who surrender without fighting are also good people.

Li Chengliang's military exploits are another way, he pulls one by one, never kills the enemy, and creates an enemy when there is really no enemy, so he wins every year in the northeast, and there is no year that he does not win the battle, and sometimes there are several good news a year.

Win all battles, and the good of the non-good.

is to win 10,000 battles, but the problem has not been solved, because Li Chengliang can always create new problems.

In fact, Chen Mu's actions are very similar to Li Chengliang, for example, there is no distinction between public and private money, and for example, it can always create new problems.

Chen Mu was very surprised at first when he heard Xu Jue say that the emperor planned to knight him, and then he thought about his merits - it seems that the knighthood is nothing.

Since the fifth year of Longqing, the imperial court has not given him any additional official rewards.

Chen Mu sat in the straight room of Jinyiwei for half an hour, and then went to sit in the Hanlin straight room next to him for a while, because Tan Lun came, the old man himself has preferential treatment and does not have to go to court, but he was impeached some time ago, and today he came to hand over the notebook to resign.

Tan Lun, who is over fifty years old, looks very old, Iron Horse Jinge has become a thing of the past, when the country is in the north and the south, there is no trouble in the south, and the Haiyan drama in front of the battlefield is also unable to sing, only to deal with those ethereal slanders on weekdays, which is very sad.

After all, the secretary of the military department is not a position for the elderly, Tan Lun himself knows that his body is no longer enough to perform the duties of the secretary, and he has asked for removal several times, but he has been rejected by Emperor Wanli with a word, not Zhang Juzheng spoke, it is Emperor Wanli himself, who does not let him go.

Zhang Juzheng is very aware of Tan Lun's difficulties, and may even be more comfortable with him returning to his hometown to tell his old age than now, but no one can do anything.

When it was time to arrive, hundreds of civil and military officials entered the palace, lined up in the south of Jinshui Bridge according to their official ranks, and signed the registration form, which is the sign-in form of the court, Chen Mu found out what was the most difficult problem for him - his grade.

His official position is equivalent to the military minister to the governor, the Ming military attache grade is actually three levels higher than the civil official grade, which is also the Taizu Dynasty set the rules for treating the military ministers, the earliest court meeting is to the general first, and then other officials can enter the palace in turn, but later changed to two doors, the left and the right, even if the later emphasis on the civil and light on the military, the grade is still maintained.

The cabinet scholars stand at the forefront, and everyone has the three public officials, and the first product is the best.

The rest of the matter is difficult.

There was no governor in this court, and the governors from all over the country rushed to Beijing before the New Year to report on their work, and now they are all gone, and the court has no civil officials from the first rank except for the three orphans.

And the three orphans, most of them are old men, and the younger one is Tan Lun, which has opened five sheets, and everyone has preferential treatment without paying tribute.

In fact, Chen Mu felt that he was more comfortable standing on the side of the military ministers, and Qi Jiguang, the governor of the left capital, also came to participate in the court meeting, and he wanted to report that the Beijing master had repaired the Santun camp and more than 1,000 enemy platforms, and stood at the front, taking a step back compared with the ministers here, he felt that it was quite appropriate for him to stand next to Qi Jiguang.

Second Master Chen stood on the south side of Jinshui Bridge and looked left and right, checking the appearance of officials, whether he was spitting or coughing, and the imperial history saw that he was standing in the middle of the fairy crane in a scarlet robe, and he didn't know him, and he was also thinking about whether to come over and scold him, Chen Mu heard Tan Lun calling him over there.

Turning his head to look over, Zhang Juzheng, who was at the front, turned his head and looked at him angrily, holding the ivory wat with his sleeves and pointing to the position next to Tan Lun behind him.

The big guy spoke, Chen Mu had nothing to hesitate about, and walked over quickly to make a circle to the old men behind him, and then he obediently stood in front of the six books in the scarlet robe and brocade chicken.

The palace has been installed with electric lights, the manufacturing process of the glaze factory is much better than that of Nanyang, the north and south of the Jinshui Bridge have built a low stage three and a half people high, it seems to hide the line under the floor tiles, the fly in the ointment is that the milky white glazed lampshade is opaque, and the light illuminated is dim and dim, in Chen Mu's view, this is completely artificial-at this stage The vacuum technology is not in place, and Nanyang is still using a process similar to cupping to fit the lampshade, even if the wick with the most rigorous process has lasted less than a month.

Compared with the wick, the lampshade is more expensive, but the wick always needs to be replaced, and the labor cost is not small.

Not long after, the palace of the palace between the Han generals, wearing the full suit armor, the left and right of the royal road and the civil and military officials behind each captain holding the knife standing, Shaoqing, the bell and drum division music, the emperor arrived at the royal gate by sedan chair, the brocade guard Lux holds five umbrella covers, four fans, from the east and west sides of the Danqi, standing behind the throne.

After that, it is time to go to the program, Honglu Temple sang loudly, the drum music of the drum music, the entry of the class, Chen Mu just followed Zhang Juzheng, and peeked at Xiao Wanli who seemed to have just woken up and stared left and right.

The people below the four officials, their early dynasty is over here, there is not so much land in the palace, and most people's remaining work is to get up early and punish the station, and listen to the beautiful appearance outside the palace in the north of Jinshui Bridge, and the officials of Honglu Temple will take the reading of the chapter and wait for the next dynasty.

Entering the palace and standing down, first of all, the gratitude of the officials who entered and left Beijing, including Chen Mu, but they were all taken by people to read, and there was no need to go out of class.

Next is the frontier report, which is also related to Chen Mu, respectively, Li Chengliang in the northeast has made meritorious service again, most of the Japanese princes have agreed to the king's division of prefectures and counties, and the three marshals in the southwest have completely pacified Burma.

Wait until all this is over, and then start to enter the early dynasty's recital, the little emperor will also wake up, sitting in the hall solemnly, Chen Mu can feel that every once in a while, the little emperor will put his eyes on him, which makes Chen Mu feel that it is not appropriate to keep his head down, and finally arched his hand with a smile when he looked at each other, amusing the little emperor.

Qi Jiguang reported on the repair of the enemy platform and the Santun camp; The emperor issued an edict that the people in the southeast were exhausted, and half of the supply of satin in the inner treasury was exempted; The household department discussed the matter of the money law, but it was not negotiated, and it was taken back by the cabinet to discuss it again, and the copper money in the market was too affected by silver, and the money law should be unified; Zhang Juzheng reported on the rebuilding of the "Daming Huidian"; The situation of the left waiter of the Tobu of the Governor's Field, playing the Taicang Silver.

There were all kinds of matters, and finally when no one spoke, Chen Mu coughed lightly, and saluted: "Minister, Chen Mu, Minister of Nanyang, has been out of Beijing for four years and returned to Beijing to report on work!" ”

The little emperor swept away his groggy majesty, almost jumped off the throne, his left hand held the big sleeve of the sun and moon robe in his right hand, and his right arm stretched forward in an arc of first up and then down, his face was full of joy and his eyebrows danced, and said: "Hurry up!" ”
