The sun gradually rose from the east, and the red and brilliant autumn sun sprinkled a golden light on the entire Ming Emperor's capital.

When the bell in the palace suddenly rang, everyone in the city subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the imperial city, although all they could see was the bright yellow glass roof reflecting the sun's light.

Today's court meeting is indeed very different from usual, not only the atmosphere is more solemn, but also the sound of leopards roaring and elephants coming from the palace gate. When the ministers lined up and passed through the palace gate and the long corridor to the Taihe Gate, they saw huge elephants on both sides, and leopards that were tightly tied with chains but still kept making teeth and claws.

The roar of these beasts made the atmosphere in front of the entire Taihe Palace Square more solemn, because everyone knew that generally only the great court meeting on New Year's Day, or when the new emperor ascended the throne, would there be such a huge battle in the palace, and it was obvious that this time the emperor attached great importance to the court meeting after this great victory.

After the ministers found their own positions and stood still, a eunuch shouted a long sentence in his throat: "Welcome to Your Majesty's ascension to the court!" ”

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" When the ministers heard this, they also knelt down one after another, and they all bowed their heads to the ground, showing their respect for the Son of Heaven.

Generally speaking, the number of rituals between the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty is far less complicated than that of the braided dynasty in later generations, and even above the court meeting, there are few kneeling on the ground to bow to the emperor. Because the scholars at this time have their own backbone, the so-called man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel at will? Only in extremely solemn scenes, such as New Year's Day, will there be a grand scene of ministers worshipping the Son of Heaven.

As the ministers knelt down to greet him, after a few crisp sounds of the whip, Zhu Qiyu, the son of heaven, who was dressed in a grand court dress and wore the imperial crown on his head, walked slowly through the wide square with steady steps surrounded by more than 100 forbidden soldiers and eunuchs, walked past the courtiers who knelt down on both sides, and then came to the dragon chair placed at the top, and sat down slowly.

It wasn't until he sat down that he raised his hand: "All Aiqing, please be flat." The words were a little sharp, and it was obvious that the emperor's mood was also quite excited.

In fact, if it weren't for the string of beads, the ministers could have seen the tiredness on the face of the Son of Heaven and the bloodshot eyes. During this period of time, although he did not really command the battle in the palace, his psychological pressure was not under anyone, and he almost never slept peacefully.

The courtiers rose in response, and then bowed to the Son of Heaven and said: "I wish Your Majesty will finally hold Beijing this time and protect my Daming country from foreign enemies!" ”

Zhu Qiyu also showed an excited smile on his face when he heard this: "I don't dare to be greedy for this credit, everything depends on the concerted efforts of all Aiqing, regardless of life and death, which is in exchange for today's great victory." ”

"The ministers are terrified, this is all the blessing of my ancestors and ancestors in heaven......" Immediately, another official put forward a new statement.

In this way, after a lot of humility between the monarch and the minister, they finally entered the main topic of today - to reward the heroes of this victory. After the Son of Heaven motioned to the eunuchs around him to take out the prepared will, everyone was in good spirits and began to look forward to the next reward.

The torment of more than half a month, nay, even a few months, has caused a lot of damage to their bodies and minds. And this Manchu courtier gritted his teeth and persevered until now, isn't it just for this moment?

However, even if you are anxious to know the result, it is impossible for this will to go straight to the topic as soon as it comes up, but first make a sigh of emotion, affirming the various behaviors of the ministers to defend the country for the country, and talking about the necessity of rewarding meritorious deeds.

"Yu Qian listened to the secretary of the military department. Yu Qian, as an important minister in the court, took charge of the overall situation in this fight against foreign enemies, defended Beijing, and planned to break the enemy. Today, the crown prince is given a small guarantee, and the gold is given 10,000 taels ......"

Hearing that Yu Qian was designated as the first meritorious service and received a series of honors, the reactions of the ministers were very calm. Because everyone knows that he has indeed made great contributions this time, if he hadn't advocated it, I am afraid that now the capital of the Ming Dynasty has run away from Beijing to other places, not to mention that he is still commanding the overall situation in this defense against the enemy, and has made great contributions to the final victory.

After the other party read all the rewards, Yu Qian stepped forward to thank him, and then said modestly: "Your Majesty, although the ministers have a small contribution, but this time they were able to hold Beijing and defeat the strong enemy, relying on the unity of the people in the DPRK and the central government. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked the eunuch to continue.

Next, it is the credit of several other important officials in the DPRK and China, although they did not really participate in the war, but they also made a lot of contributions in the rear dispatch, equipment, grain and grass, etc., so when discussing the merits, they were next to Yu Qian, and everyone did not have any objections to this.

But soon, when the eunuch said the name of the sixth person to be rewarded, the ministers all showed strange expressions: "Lu Jin, the soldier of the military department, first offered advice and advice to defend the city this time, and then took the risk himself, led the troops out of the city to contain them, and killed thousands of enemies in this battle, and made great achievements, which is really a great reward." He was immediately promoted to the squire of the military department, and was given a mansion, five hundred food, and three thousand taels of gold......"

When Lu Zhen stepped forward to thank him, all the officials around him showed strange expressions. In fact, it's not that they doubt Lu Jin's merits, these have actually been spread all over the city as early as yesterday, but because he is really a little bit more rewarded, even more than Yu Qian, who has the first credit.

Although Yu Qian listened to the reward was very generous, in fact, it was mostly a fictitious thing, even if there was a seal on his parents, but in terms of official position, it was just a fictitious title of the crown prince and a young protector, and his substantive official position and power had not changed much.

But Lu Zhen was different, he actually took advantage of this to be promoted from the four-rank Lang to the waiter. Don't look at this as just a two-level promotion, but for such a Beijing official, it is a qualitative leap. Although Lang Zhong is also a high-ranking official, he is not a heavy minister, and his power is limited. But this squire is already the second-in-command of the military department, and he really has a place in the court.

Generally speaking, ordinary officials have to have twenty or thirty years of experience if they want to sit in this position, even if Yu Qian was a squire in the military department before, many people were dissatisfied, and now a young man under the age of thirty has actually become a squire, which is too much to break through everyone's cognition.

However, after being surprised, no one dared to stand up and put forward a different meaning. Because Lu Jin's contribution this time is really big enough, and there are indeed not many cadres left in the court at this time, there is really no one who is more qualified to sit in the position of squire than him, so even if he responds in his heart, everyone can only admit it.

Next, it is a reward for a military general. Among them, the first place is naturally Shi Heng, the general of the defeated army who was despised by countless people before, this time he raised his eyebrows, washed away his shame with practical actions, and was awarded the title of general and the title of Marquis of Wuqing.

Next, the guards of the other gates also got their respective titles, although they were not as good as Shi Heng, but they also had a lot of capital, and they looked much higher than the rewards of civil officials.

This also reflects the difference in the rewards of civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty. For civil officials, the court's rewards have always been cautious, and it is almost impossible to add a knighthood to someone, but for military generals, as long as they have made great contributions, it is common to make him an earl and marquis.

Of course, if you really want to talk about your status and power in the court, Shi Heng, the marquis, may not be stronger than Lu Jin, the squire.

After that, it was a reward from other officials. Don't look at the fact that these Beijing officials have almost no sense of presence in this war, in fact, their contributions are not small.

In the siege of the city for more than half a month, the city was so peaceful, and everything was done by the best efforts of many yamen officials. After all, this Beijing is different from Datong Xuanfu and other border towns, even if those cities are besieged by the Mongols for a few months, it doesn't matter, but Beijing has millions of soldiers and civilians, one is not good, what kind of civil uprising is caused, it is a situation of internal and external difficulties, and it will be difficult to defend at that time.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the officials of the various yamen were trying their best to maintain order in the city and always pay attention to the price of food, which allowed the wife of the capital to survive peacefully for half a month. So if you really want to talk about it, these people are also the heroes of this great victory, although behind the scenes.

In the final analysis, this court meeting was still a reward meeting, hundreds of civil and military officials were rewarded, and the Son of Heaven even took out a large amount of silver from the treasury to reward the ministers. It is also thanks to the fact that there are a lot of vacancies left in the imperial court after the defeat of Tumubao, otherwise just being promoted will be enough to make people feel a headache.

It wasn't until the last official's reward was confirmed that the ministers bowed down the mountain again and shouted long live.

And after rewarding the heroes, it is time to deal with those enemies who have committed the most heinous crimes.

At this point, of course, there is no need for the Son of Heaven to speak, and the officials of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department came forward: "Your Majesty, after the strict interrogation of the ministers, I finally learned that the two people who were captured from the Mongolian camp were named Xining and Xuan Chengyuan, and they had all offered advice for Ye Xian to help him kill my army and people, and invade the border pass of our city. Especially Na Xining, in order to survive, he took the initiative to help me break through the Bauhinia Pass first, resulting in this danger. ”

"Is that so?" When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately snorted in annoyance.

The other officials were even more angry, and some people kept proposing to severely punish these two rebellious ministers and thieves who acted for the tiger.

Eventually, at the suggestion of the ministers, the emperor finally nodded and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to execute the two important criminals in the downtown along with the captured Mongols. And these two people will be tortured by Ling Chi Cun.

With the passage of this final punishment resolution, the battle between Ming and Mongolia has come to an end, and everything will continue to look forward......
