Xu Erlu immediately went out and said: "What Lord Zeng said is extremely true, when the court is employing people, there should be clear rewards and punishments. The ministers also asked for the title of Loyal Marquis, He Dutang and the generals of the Loyal Battalion. ”

As a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, this can be regarded as a statement on behalf of the Ministry of Rites.

"The imperial court is about to break the north, and rewarding meritorious generals can greatly boost morale!" Yu Xin also stood up and answered, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Now that Zhu Linmiao has a lot of "own people" in the court, Zeng Jian and Xu Erlu started their heads, and a large number of courtiers immediately followed, "Seconding." ”

Zhu Linmiao's move is to take advantage of the great victories in northern Sichuan and Laizhou to "package" He Tengjiao, Qin Liangyu and others and seal them.

He immediately followed the advice, "What your lords said is very true, but in fact, I have already meant it. The southwest and Huguang are all based on the towns of several good generals, so that they are stable today, and it is appropriate to show the heroes as soon as possible! ”

He cleared his throat again, and said in a loud voice: "Loyal Marquis, the imperial captives of Shu for a long time, and the loyal troops of Zhang Xian, and the revenge of the Haoge captives in northern Sichuan, Haohao's merits!" Enter the Duke of Shu.

"Li Guo, Gao Yigong, recovered the important town of Jingzhou, aided Yuezhou several times, and now besieged Xiangyang and captured thieves, and his military achievements are brilliant. Respectively crowned Zhong Yi Bo and Zhong Wei Bo.

"He Tengjiao, guarding Huguang so that it is not taken by captives, and training an army of 100,000 for the imperial court, is indispensable. Jin Ding Guanghou, fief Xingning.

"The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites will prepare all the matters and expenses required for the promotion as soon as possible, and submit them to the cabinet for approval."

The courtiers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and many of them even whispered, "The auxiliary king is going to solve Huguang!" ”

"Not really. That Qin Liangyu, Li Guo, and Gao Yigong are all real military exploits, and the rewards are quite appropriate. And He Tengjiao, what kind of feats is this? ”

When he said this, everyone laughed disdainfully. Who doesn't know that He Tengjiao guarded Huguang and was beaten all the way to Yuezhou by Jianju, if it weren't for the loyal battalion, I'm afraid the city would have been broken. As for what kind of training of 100,000 troops, who doesn't know that it is a private soldier he trained for the separatist side?

Someone whispered again: "Now that the auxiliary political king has promoted him to the Marquis of Guang, and he has sealed Xingning, which is close to Jiangxi, he wants to use the Jiangxi army to keep an eye on him." ”

"That's right, this is the rise and fall of the light and the dark, and seize its military power."

"It's just that there are still 100,000 horses in Huguang, in case the He family ......"

"Now that we have to cross the river and go on a northern expedition, if there is any chaos in Huguang, it will be very bad."

Yu Xin, Zhao Shichao and other people from the General Staff Department of the Military Department heard the discussion, but they laughed secretly in their hearts. Now that Zheng Zhilong's warship is gone, the Daming Naval Division can divide its forces into the Yangtze River at any time to help in the war. As long as He Tengjiao has the slightest intention of disobedience, the loyal battalion will immediately cut off the connection between Changsha and Wuchang, and at the same time, several soldiers and horses will encircle Wuchang, and the power of the Huguang domain can be broken overnight.

Of course, it would be best if He Tengjiao could understand the current affairs and take the initiative to give up the fantasy of King Huguang, after all, any civil war in the Ming Dynasty would benefit from Jianyu.

Xu Erlu saw that the court and the middle were discussing each other, and immediately took the lead and bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King is wise!" ”

Only then did the ministers react, and hurriedly followed and shouted, "Your Highness is wise!" ”

After the matter of the reward was discussed, Zhu Linmiao signaled to Zhu Jizuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, "Lord Zhu, you can tell you about the arrangements for the filial piety festival." ”

"The subordinate obeys."

Zhu Jizuo immediately walked to the front of the hall, turned around, and said in a loud voice: "According to the decree, on November 20 of the second year, the Son of Heaven will worship his ancestors in the tomb of filial piety!" Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered at the noon gate, and the ritual department prepared rituals and utensils. Out of Chaoyangmen at the end of the day...... Chenshi Tianzi and the civil and military square gate incense ......"

Paying homage to the Tomb of Filial Piety is an important task that has been set a few days ago. Although Nanjing has been recovered for a long time, the Son of Heaven has not yet arrived, and this first memorial is of great significance, and it cannot be presided over by the Son of Heaven himself, so it has been delayed until now.

In fact, Zhu Linmiao is quite satisfied with the timing of this mausoleum.

In the feudal era, worshipping the heavens and worshipping the emperor's mausoleum was a declaration and symbol of the orthodoxy of imperial power, and they were all major events that attracted the attention of the world, and they were extremely important to enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation. This is also the reason why Zheng Chenggong was busy preparing for the filial piety mausoleum before he conquered Nanjing during the Northern Expedition - declaring that the Ming Dynasty was still strong, and rekindling the hope of the hearts of the people of the world who had been chilled by the repeated defeats of the imperial court.

Therefore, the most important role of the filial piety tomb is to enhance the cohesion and confidence of the Ming Dynasty, if you just took Nanjing before the mausoleum, it is far less than the current effect of the ancestors with a series of victories.

After the big sacrifice to the filial piety tomb, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the morale of the world to kill the Yangtze River in one go. At this time, Jianyu no longer had a available sailor to assist in defense, and he had just folded Wu Sangui, a general, and his combat effectiveness was much worse than before compared to the Ming army. It is foreseeable that the recovery of the land south of the Huai River in this battle should be nine out of ten, and it may even be possible to fight to Shandong in one go!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the officials, regardless of whether they were new or old, regardless of their background in the imperial examination or in the style of the imperial examination, all spoke loudly in groups, and their excitement was overflowing - Sichuan and Laizhou won great victories one after another, and they were about to sacrifice filial piety, and the momentum of the Ming Dynasty was simply like the sky. They had never been like this before, and they really felt that expelling the Tartars was not a luxury, and the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty was just around the corner.

Only Meng Zhengfa's face was pale, he bowed his head and went out of the noon gate without saying a word, and immediately returned to his house.

He knew the intention of the auxiliary king to add the title of He Dutang to the Marquis of Guang, and he had tied his future to He Tengjiao, only worried that the latter would not be able to withstand the pressure and be sealed. It is even possible that his previous secret advice to the Empress Dowager Zeng will be revealed, not to mention that he has an even more fatal heart disease, and this situation must not be allowed to become a fact!

However, he locked himself in his study, racking his brains but still couldn't think of a plan to turn the tables - whether it was righteousness, popularity, or military strength, the court was far superior to He Dutang in all aspects......

Just as he sighed for a long time, the housekeeper said outside the house: "Master, there is an adult who claims to be your old friend of Huguang and whose surname is bitter and asks to see him. ”

"Bitter?"

Meng Zhengfa frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't expect to have such an old friend, and was about to let someone drive him away, and then heard the housekeeper say: "By the way, master, Lord Ku also said that he is here to help you get out of trouble." ”

Meng Zhengfa's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said in his heart, how did this person know that I was in trouble, could it be that my identity was exposed? Hurriedly instructed the butler, "Take him to the antechamber for a while." ”

Then he recruited his henchmen and ordered them to prepare men around the front hall, and if necessary, he had to get rid of the man surnamed Ku.

When he changed his clothes and came to the front hall, he saw a burly, simple-dressed middle-aged man standing in the middle of the room with two attendants.

He arched his hand and stepped forward, and was about to greet him, but he heard that the bitter lord preemptively said: "Please also ask Lord Meng to retreat left and right, and there are important matters to discuss below." ”
