Chapter 443: Reward
The fighting outside Jinling was calmed down for several days.
However, at this moment in the capital, the king of Jiushan rebelled, and the news of the siege of Jinling City had just been sent to the imperial court.
However, it is not surprising that such speed was placed in ancient times.
Because of this matter, a great court meeting was held in the palace today, and all civil and military officials came to participate, and no one was absent.
Zhao Guanjia sat on the dragon chair, his pale face with a little annoyance.
As an emperor, even the most mediocre emperor is unlikely to hear that someone has rebelled and is indifferent, and it is the hereditary princes and descendants who rebel, and behind this matter is by no means as simple as a simple refugee uprising, maybe many officials in the Jiangnan area are implicated.
Once it is not done well, it is not impossible to change the dynasty.
"Li Liangjin rebelled, proclaimed himself the king of Jiushan, and besieged Jinling City, what do you think of this matter?" Zhao Guanjia had a straight face, with a bit of indifference in his tone.
The civil and military officials above the court did not dare to squeak.
After all, Li Houfu is also a well-known official family in the south, and many people more or less can't deal with the people of the Li family.
"Why, do you Aiqing plan to avoid such a big thing? Yang Aiqing, you say. Zhao Guanjia said suddenly.
A gray-haired old man stood up at this moment, he arched his hand and said: "The official family, Li Liangjin's rebellion is a fact, there is no excuse, according to the law, when the nine clans are punished, the old minister thinks that he should immediately arrest the officials of the Li family and other cadres, remove them from their official positions, enter the heavenly prison, and hand them over to Dali Temple, in addition to this, they should also order the general army of the nearby states to send troops to support Jinling City and repel Li Liangjin." ”
"What Lord Yang said is very true. The lower official seconded. ”
Xia Guan also agreed with Lord Yang's words, and the top priority at the moment is to send troops to quell the chaos, and not let Li Liangjin, a traitor, run around, otherwise the coercion of refugees will only make a greater noise. ”
Many officials immediately echoed Lord Yang's words.
Zhao Guanjia also nodded: "What Yang Aiqing said is very true, let's take a charter and draft it later." ”
"Your Majesty spares your life, the lower officials don't know that Li Liangjin's traitor is so bold and dares to rebel, the lower officials really don't know, and please ask Your Majesty to be gracious. ”
"Your Majesty, the lower officials are willing to make meritorious contributions to atone for their sins, go to Jinling City to persuade Li Liangjin to surrender, and ask Your Majesty to be merciful. ”
Immediately, several officials knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowed and pleaded.
They are all relatives who have a relationship with Li Liangjin, and now Li Liangjin's rebellion is involving them, you must know that they didn't know the news of Li Liangjin's rebellion before, although he mentioned it in the previous chapter of the military department, but he just thought that this was a group of nonsense from the military department, and he didn't believe it.
Only now did I know that the matter had become irreparably serious after an urgent military report of 800 miles from all over the country.
"Remove them from their official positions and hand them over to Dali Temple. Zhao Guanjia waved his hand a little listlessly, obviously indifferent to these people's pleas.
How can the rebellion be forgiven, although he is not a Ming Jun, he is not so stupid.
"Your Majesty~!"
These officials of the Li family cried and shouted all day long, kowtowing and begging for mercy, but the forbidden army outside the Golden Palace immediately put these adults down.
If nothing else, they will not only lose their positions, but they will also be beheaded.
"Li Liangjin, you guy, it's so miserable for me. In the end, these officials of the Li family had to shout angrily.
"The official family, since Li Liangjin's rebellion is a fact, then Lord Li's false accusation against Lord Lang Fu is out of nowhere, and I also ask the official family to recall Master Fu and return Master Fu to a clean slate. Lord Yang said again.
He was worried that his son would go to Jinling City to escort Fu Tianqiu back to Beijing and not return for a long time, but he was afraid that he would encounter rebels, and he should find a way to get his son out at this moment.
Zhao Guanjia nodded and said, "I have indeed failed Fu Aiqing's loyalty, let's go back and draft the will." ”
"Huh~!"
Suddenly, the national teacher next to the Golden Palace suddenly sighed, and then laughed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, but it's a pity Your Majesty." ”
"The state has a traitor, how can he be happy?" asked Zhao Guanjia.
The national teacher smiled and said: "The rebels have been pacified, and Jinling City is worry-free, isn't this a happy event? Just now, on a whim, I pinched my fingers, but I found that the rebels of Li Liangjin besieging Jinling City had been repelled by a guerrilla general, and the good news had already reached the capital, but His Majesty had not yet received it. ”
"Oh, is this serious?" said Zhao Guanjia in surprise.
"There can be no mistake, the one who repelled the rebels was a man named Li Xiuyuan, and His Majesty only needs to check it to know. The national teacher smiled.
Zhao Guanjia was a little surprised: "Quick, quickly go and check the music that came today, and report urgently." ”
Immediately, an official eunuch rushed to Zhongshu Province to check the recital that came today.
After a while, an official eunuch rushed back with a piece of music in surprise: "Your Majesty, good news, good news, good news from Jinling City." ”
"Take it and see it. "Zhao Guanjia took the chapter and looked at it.
Sure enough, the rebellious Li Liangjin was repulsed, and it was really a guerrilla general named Li Xiuyuan who repelled the rebels.
"Okay, there are still such loyal ministers in Jinling City, and I will definitely reward them well. ”
Zhao Guanjia stroked his palms and smiled, only to see that the chapter was written: The guerrilla general Li Xiuyuan led less than 10,000 cavalry to attack the enemy position, and the rebels were defeated with one blow, and the crisis of Jinling City was immediately resolved.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, but pity Your Majesty. ”
For a while, the civil and military officials were all flattered, and their faces even showed surprise, and some officials even cried with joy and celebrated.
is diametrically opposed to the face of his father and mother who died before, and his acting skills are outstanding.
"Everyone, Aiqing, take a look, what is the reward of this General Li?" Zhao Guanjia asked again while being delighted.
"After this turmoil in Yangzhou, this General Li can be the deputy commander-in-chief and lead the troops to continue to quell the chaos. A civil official said immediately.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief?
Some officials sneered in their hearts, it was indeed a good position, but it was in name only, and it was subject to the general army, even if the merit was great, it could not be gained.
"The minister seconded the proposal, the guerrilla general has been promoted to the deputy general soldier has been promoted to the second level in a row, if this Li general can completely sweep away Li Liangjin in the future, it is not too late to be rewarded and promoted to the general army. ”
The minister agreed. ”
Many civil officials have said.
But at that point, the general soldier does not have this Li Xiuyuan's share, he will install a faction in the past, and take advantage of the fisherman, if this Li Xiuyuan is obedient, it is fine, and if he is disobedient, he will be directly dismissed on a charge.
A guerrilla general who came out of nowhere, and still wants to be the chief soldier of Yangzhou?
"National teacher, what do you think of this reward?" Suddenly, Zhao Guanjia glanced at the national teacher next to him.
The national teacher squinted his eyes and smiled: "General Li is a Xiucai who abandoned his pen and followed Rong, repelled 100,000 rebels, and was able to write and martial arts, and made great contributions. ”
The history of Yangzhou thorn?
Some civil servants almost bit their tongues when they heard this.
With such a reward, doesn't this national teacher know how great the power of a state is to assassinate the history? That is the civil and military equipment that manages a state, and it is the existence of real power.
The housekeeper is not confused, he will definitely not agree, no matter how favored this national teacher is, it is impossible to directly give a thorn to the history.
Immediately, these officials looked at Zhao Guanjia expectantly.
Zhao Guanjia didn't seem to react, but just sighed: "Then Yangzhou Assassin History." ”
"Poof~!" The civil and military officials in the Golden Palace immediately almost vomited blood.
You've really agreed, you've agreed?
"Butler, by all means. Immediately, Lord Yang's face changed drastically and he hurriedly walked out, wanting to admonish.
But at this moment, the national teacher next to him, Cihang Pudu, squinted his eyes and looked at Lord Yang coldly.
Lord Yang felt this cold gaze and felt a stirring in his body, and fear welled up in his heart.
"What does Yang Aiqing want to say?" asked Zhao Guanjia.
Lord Yang immediately said righteously: "The old minister thinks that the position of a thorn is not enough to reward this General Li, and he should also be rewarded with gold, no, ten taels of silver, ten pairs of armor, and twenty horses of BMW......." As he spoke, he looked at the eyes of the national teacher.
When he saw that his eyes were still cold, he gritted his teeth and said: "Yangzhou General Soldier, Deputy Chief Soldier is incompetent in counterinsurgency, when they are dismissed from their positions, the personnel are recommended by Li Tingshi, Li Tingshi knows the military affairs, there must be loyal and brave people under his command, and the old minister thinks that these loyal and brave people should not be buried." ”
The coldness in Cihang Pudu's eyes had only decreased a lot, but he was still staring at him.
"The vacant county order in Yangzhou, Zhizhou, can also be reported by Lord Li, and the imperial court can hire it at its discretion. Lord Yang said again.
Cihang Pudu nodded with a smile on his face.
Lord Yang touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"
Lord Yang, are you crazy? You don't go to advise, but also ask for a reward for Li Xiuyuan, he is your own son, you want to send the whole of Yangzhou out?
The civil servants were shocked.
Yangzhou is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the source of the imperial court's taxes, has always been a place for officials above the court, even if it is a prefect, they are unwilling to give up the position of county commander, how can they be willing to give it all to this guerrilla general who does not know where to appear.
Lord Yang is crazy, and His Majesty will definitely not agree to this ridiculous reward.
Zhao Guanjia didn't seem to feel anything, but he just sighed: "Just follow Aiqing, and go back to draft the will." ”
"Poof~!"
The civil and military officials in the court vomited blood again, and the faint monarch agreed again.
A court meeting was supposed to discuss how to quell the chaos, but because of the national teacher, it became a reward.
The name Li Xiuyuan was immediately written down by the civil and military officials in the court.
How did a guerrilla general climb the backer of the national teacher, and only then did he make such a little merit and was named the history of Yangzhou Thorn.
There is also the right to nominate civil and military officials.
This is no longer a smooth progress, but a soaring sky.
Faint king, traitorous minister, national teacher troubles the dynasty.
For a time, there were all kinds of secret curses in the hearts of civil and military officials.
But scolding and scolding, the reward for Li Xiuyuan has been decided.
