Chapter 701: Bloody Rain and Bloody Wind, Reward for Meritorious Deeds

The new monarch ascended the throne, which should have been a general amnesty for the world, and after the national funeral, it should be celebrated, not to mention that the Han rebellion was put down in less than a month. However, the capital in September was shrouded in a delicate atmosphere.

Half a month ago, Zhang Yue, who held the sword of the Son of Heaven, sent an urgent recital to the emperor in Qingzhou Mansion, sent a letter found from the Han Palace, and a long list that was sorted out. A few days later, after the imperial approval of the emperor, the decree was quickly sent to Qingzhou Mansion. As a result, the next few days were shrouded in a bloody storm.

On 13 September, the commander of the eastern capital of Zhushan was Jin Rong and the following 22 people.

On September 16, the Tiance guards of the Han Palace, Zhule Anhan, commanded a total of 41 people from thousands of households.

On 23 September, the commander of the Xucang Prefecture Wei sent 19 officers below.

On 26 September, the commander of the Tianjin Sanwei sent 21 officers below.

In addition, no less than 50 officers were convicted of capital crimes in Xuanfu, Datong, Juyongguan and other places. After Zhang Yue returned to Beijing, Zhu Zhanji followed up the case to Jinyiwei, but in the eyes of those who care, even if it is the famous Jinyiwei, after the first evil rebellion is basically killed, I am afraid that the next thing is mainly to organize and manage the border, and it is difficult to kill so many people again.

The bloody rain and bloody wind shocked those who had two hearts, but it also made more people understand the direction of the current court, so since Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, the Yangwu Bo Mansion, which has been sparsely populated by cars and horses, is now once again showing a scene of busy traffic and guests. It's just that Zhang Yuehao, who had just returned from Shandong, was able to get ten days off, where was he willing to suffer from this kind of entanglement, so he simply ordered him to go down and thank the guests, mercilessly making countless people with hot charcoal thoughts eat the closed door.

Now it has passed October, and then three days will be Gu's twenty-fifth month Daxiang, although the family can not rush back to Kaifeng, but at home still have to do a good job, so Zhang Chao Zhang Zhang Zhang all asked for leave to go home, and the brothers all experienced a situation where it was difficult for cars and horses to enter Wu'anhou Hutong.

The Sun family took the women to arrange the Daxiang sacrifice, and the brothers who hadn't spoken well for a long time sat around the ear room kang on the east side of Ruiqing Hall, and naturally they had to say something. Seeing the youngest Zhang Zhen excitedly mentioning his wife's joy, the three brothers who had become fathers couldn't help but smile, congratulated and made fun of him, and teased him for a long time before moving on to other topics.

"Wu'anhou guards Kaiping, Daddy guards Jiaoluan, this Wu'anhou Hutong has been quiet for two years, I can't imagine that there will be such a lively time now." Zhang Qi has a straightforward temperament, and at this time, while peeling oranges, he looked at Zhang Yue with a smile, "I thought that this time I would definitely be able to go to Shandong with the imperial driver to make meritorious contributions, but I didn't expect that people would be calmed down before they left there." Third brother, although you are a civil official, we military attaches are not as many as you killed. ”

Zhang Yue, who was drinking tea, heard this, and almost lost his breath, and only after calming down did he shake his head helplessly: "Do you think I want to kill someone?" It's all forced, you ask the eldest brother, what was it like when he first went into battle to kill the Japanese invaders? Even if it is a person who has committed the most heinous crimes, it is never pleasant to see a person's head fall to the ground. ”

As soon as Zhang Chao heard about the Japanese Kou, he remembered that experience that was not a wonderful one, and quickly changed the topic and said, "If you want me to say, King Han...... It's really not the right time for the Hanshu people to die, and if they die early, they won't cause so many troubles. ”

Zhang Zhen, who had been silent, interjected at this time: "I think he died at the right time." If he dies early, the Heavenly Protectors who have long been loyal to him may endure for a while, and then push the prince out to continue the rebellion. These clans are all worried about Emperor Taizong's experience of seizing the world at the beginning, didn't the King of Gu, the King of Qi, and so on all have different aspirations, and they were all punished one by one? Rather than dragging it out to solve it in the future, it is better to cut the mess quickly now and save trouble in the future, the third brother has cut the grass and eradicated the roots for the emperor this time. The emperor has now pardoned the prince of Han and the kings of those counties, but he has been abolished as a concubine and imprisoned in Xiyuan, but I heard that the emperor has decided to ask Zhao Fan for his crimes. ”

Although the Hanlin Yuan Shu Jishi did not have any rank, he was closer to the inner court than ordinary foreign ministers, so he was also well-informed. Zhang Yue knew it a long time ago, but Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi had never heard of it, so he hurriedly asked. Seeing that Zhang Qi was thinking about the war, Zhang Yue had to cough dryly, but before he could speak, Zhang Zhen suddenly said solemnly: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, I have to talk to you about something first." ”

Zhang Zhen's temper is much better now than before, and he is naturally not as popular as before. The three of them couldn't help but look at each other when they saw him so serious at the moment. Zhang Qi hurriedly sat up straight, and asked with a smile, "Little Four, is there something important that you want us to help with?" ”

"It's not a court matter, it's just a family matter." Zhang Zhen hesitated for a long time, and finally said bluntly, "When my grandmother was still there, I put the ground at the end of this Wu'anhou Hutong, but the house has been empty and has not been renovated much. My father wrote to him that when they were removed in the 27th month and the national funeral ban period for no construction had passed, they would open up the house. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Chao was stunned, but even Zhang Yue stayed there. After a while, Zhang Chao asked astringently: "Little Four, do you think that when everyone comes back, there will be a large population in this family, so you have to move out?" If it is because of that, my second brother and I can guarantee that things at home will never be as troublesome as before......"

"That's not it." Zhang Zhen knew that Zhang Chao would be wrong when he heard this, and quickly explained, "Of course, a family is a family, but if there is no separation, if each family wants to do something private, they have to worry about it reaching the ears of others, so it is inevitably a little inconvenient." Furthermore, the second uncle was an earl; My father Ding is going to make a comeback after the expiration of the period, and his official character is different; is the third brother, and I don't know how he will be promoted this time. Everyone is still a family, but there are some things that have to be prepared. The three houses are next to each other, almost the same as before. This is not a separation, the three families are next to each other, and they can also have a care. Although I don't want to, these are Daddy's words, and you know Daddy's stubbornness. ”

Zhang Zhen had long noticed that his father Zhang Xin was always a little depressed about living in this Yangwu Mansion, and he couldn't help but sigh at this time. And Zhang Yue thought about it carefully, and felt that this matter was also natural, so he persuaded the two brothers together. Zhang Qi, who still didn't give up, persuaded Zhang Zhen for a while, but seeing that he really couldn't persuade people to turn back, he had to sigh and agree-he knew very well in his heart that his mother Dongfang, who had always been very enthusiastic about being the housewife, would definitely not refuse such an offer once he returned to Beijing.

Thinking of the joy of grandmother Gu's family when she was there, now unconsciously, Gu's has been dead for two years, and the four brothers are a little sentimental, at this time, a girl's crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Young masters, the palace sent someone to report the news, and the emperor sent the prince to present a reward, so that the family could make preparations quickly!"

Since Zhang Yue returned to Beijing and was allowed to take leave, he knew that there would always be a day when meritorious deeds were rewarded, so it was not surprising to hear it at this time. Zhang Qi immediately laughed, walked quickly outside to send the girl, and loudly ordered people to prepare, and then entered the room and said with a smile: "The third brother is a fourth-grade official in his early twenties, and now he is rewarded for meritorious deeds, I don't know what to get!" If you are young and have another title, our Zhang family will be unprecedented! ”

Although the situation of one door and two lords was rare in the Ming Dynasty, there were still cases, such as Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongchang and Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, and the Xu family even had one door and two dukes. It's just that the former is a hero of the Hongwu Dynasty and has been stained with Concubine Guo's light, and the latter is because Emperor Yongle feels guilty about his uncle Xu Zengshou, which is not an exception. Therefore, hearing Zhang Qi's coaxing, Zhang Yue laughed, thinking that if this title was really so easy and easy, then Yongle Emperor Zhu Di would not have drawn the title of Earl Ancheng to him on paper.

Because the Zhang family often has eunuchs who come to reward and give gifts, they have long been accustomed to this incense case to greet and so on. As soon as he was ready, Wang Jin arrived with his entourage. He greeted Zhang Yue with a smile, and when the Zhang family had already bowed together, he unfolded the edict document. Zhang Yue, who was a neat and well-worded article, knew that it was written by Yang Shiqi as soon as he heard it, and he had long been immune to those praises, so he only listened to those that mattered.

“…… Today, Zhang Yue's right deputy capital Yushi, Yazhong doctor, awarded the title of young Yin, wife Du Shi is a lady; His father, Zhang Zhuo, was awarded the Zhongfeng doctor, and his mother and grandson were his wife; After his son Zhang Ye came of age, the official guard ......"

This reward was not unexpected by Zhang Yue, after all, the role of the false title of the official was originally used to reward his subordinates, but it was very difficult for him to cry and laugh if he went further in the Imperial Procuratorate - this was really more like revenge for his previous impeachment by the imperial history. However, he didn't expect that this time his parents would be stained with great light, you must know that Dr. Zhongfeng is a second-grade loose official, and Mrs.'s order is only under Mrs. Yipin, and I don't know how many people are looking forward to the phoenix crown. Stunned, although he said thank you, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart. If the expiration of the father's Ding Shou system, how can he be given an official position?

After reading it out, Wang Jin handed over the golden three-axis edict to Zhang Yue with a smile, but then did not leave immediately, but entered the Ruiqing Hall of the Zhang family with Zhang Yue. After taking a sip of the tea from the little servant, he waved his hand to send the person away, and then changed to a posture of sitting upright.

"Lord Xiao Zhang, the emperor originally wanted to summon you into the palace, but now it is different from the past, this is really a bit conspicuous, so the emperor thought about it and sent our family to talk to you while the decree was announced. The first Emperor Taizong has already cast your Ancheng Bo iron coupon, and the emperor has the heart to reward him this time, but it is the queen mother who persuaded the emperor with her words. The queen mother asked the emperor, do you want to give you a title and let you be a rich idler from now on, or put the title in the future and then seal it, so that your children and grandchildren can get the emperor's grace and be rich for ten thousand years? As a result, the emperor was naturally speechless. So, this time there was a decree from Lingzun Lingtang, after all, the emperor always felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he could only give them generously. ”

Zhang Yue then understood what was going on, while praising Xie Humility in his mouth, he was Da Rin in his heart - Empress Dowager Zhang's reputation was also famous in later generations, from the past, it was a clear-eyed person who did not rub sand in his eyes, this heavy proposal looked at the selflessness of the Grand Duke, but in fact, there were other considerations, even the emperor was supreme, and he was no longer the former emperor's grandson. At this moment, Wang Jin suddenly said another sentence.

"The loose official is from the third grade, and the commander is also from the third grade, according to the example of the loose official and the commander has always been lower than the officer, the rank of the left capital imperial history is low, so you were awarded the right deputy capital imperial history. However, the emperor has known for a long time that although you are famous, it is not suitable to be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the morning, the court has decided that the general political envoy Gu Zuo Gu will take over the imperial history, Gu is square, I am afraid that your temperament may not be used to it. As a result, the Queen Mother proposed a method, I announced that the political envoy was originally equal to the six ministries, and the political envoy was the secretary of the book, and the deputy capital of the imperial history was the political envoy. Now that you have the title of deputy capital imperial history, you can release the political envoy, and when you come back in the future, this qualification and so on will be enough. The Queen Mother also said that you don't lack anything, the only thing you lack is the experience of the shepherd. ”

At this moment, Zhang Yue finally understood why Zhu Gaochi went from being called the Prince of Renxiao to the Prince of Rende, but he discussed everything with the Empress Dowager Zhang. This Empress Dowager Zhang has no last resort, which makes people feel that they can't do it according to her wishes, just like now, although he doesn't believe that Empress Dowager Zhang really treats him differently than Zhang Yue, so he put forward this proposal, but he has to admire her vision and scheming.

The Son of Heaven of a country is a lonely man, and he is too close to Zhu Zhanji. Moreover, he suddenly moved to a high position, what should the British public Zhang Fu do?

"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang?"

Hearing Wang Jin's repeated calls, Zhang Yue realized that he had lost his mind, so he leaned over and said: "Please also ask the prince to transfer to the emperor, the queen mother is looking down, and the ministers are terrified, and they must live up to the holy will." Just ......"

Before he finished his words, Wang Jin interrupted: "The emperor was originally unhappy, but since what the queen mother said is reasonable, the emperor has to obey." It's just that the thirteen political envoys in the world are all good and bad, complicated and simple, and the emperor asked our family to inform you, and you should choose a place by yourself. As long as you are selected, you have made such a great contribution, this is always cheap. ”

As early as when discussing with his father-in-law Du Zhen, Zhang Yue had already made up his mind, and almost blurted out at this time. However, at this time, Wang Jin asked him and answered, which inevitably made people suspicious, so he had to muse for a long time, and finally said that he couldn't give an answer in a hurry, and he needed to think about it. When he sent this group out of the door, he enshrined the edict document in the back hall of Ruiqing Hall, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Di's imperial pen on the wall.

"Therefore, it is necessary to order it in writing, and to use force in it."

This is the way to govern the army, and the same is true to the way to control the subordinates.

"Young master, young master, good news, great news!"

Hearing the shouting from outside, Zhang Yue turned around and walked out of the back hall, and only when he got to the front did he see Gao Quan's face full of excitement. Before he could ask, the old butler panted and said, "The British prince has a message, Lord Wan...... Wan Daren has arrived in Kaiping! The leading missions are all in good condition, which is almost a miracle that has not been seen outside the embassy for many years! Wan Daren also brought a lot of Mongols, saying that they were tribute horses and tribute things! ”

Faced with this sudden good news, Zhang Yue only felt that his heart was suddenly relieved, and he stood for a while before laughing. Although he was convinced that Wanshijie would be able to return, there was always that fear of what to do, and now everything has finally disappeared.
