Emperor Ming Dynasty

Bah, sycophant—

Several people in the cabinet couldn't help cursing secretly, but there was an expression of approval on their faces.

After the emperor ascended the throne, Sun Chuanting was only posthumously awarded as Prince Taibao, a scholar of the Wuying Hall, and his posthumous title was "Wencheng".

Ranked third among the posthumous titles of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

The first is Wen Zheng, such as Li Dongyang and Xie Qian; the second is Wen Zhen, such as Yang Shiqi and Xu Jie; the third is Wen Cheng, Liu Ji, and Wang Shouren.

It can be said that Wenzheng, Wenzhen, and Wencheng of the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty did not exceed ten people.

For Sun Chuanting, this is a great flattery, and he is the envy of literati. If he can get this posthumous title, many people would like to die now.

In comparison, how can we say that Chongzhen is mean?

Lu Xiangsheng's death was so tragic, and in the end he only had a posthumous gift, but no posthumous title. Obviously, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

It was also when King Fu pursued the posthumous title of "Zhonglie" when he was in Nanjing, and the posthumous posthumous title of "Zhongsu" in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

Now posthumous title, can be said to greatly increase its glory.

Of course, the cabinet ministers' eyes were sharp, and they immediately saw two simple steps from it.

First of all, seal the family and increase the power of the prince.

Second, to win people's hearts, the emperor treated those generals who failed and sacrificed favorably. Are you still working hard?
"What does Shoufu mean?" The emperor looked at Zhao Shu and asked, "Who is it?"

All eyes were on him.

That's right, on this occasion, it is most appropriate to ask Zhao Shu.

Zhang Shenyan suddenly realized that this is the third floor, which is to test Zhao Shu's heart.

Let me just say, the emperor has a sensitive mind, so he must test it a little bit, otherwise he won't be at ease.

He looked deeply at Zhao Shu to see how he would answer.

Brother Shi, no matter how much you want at this time, you have to be impartial!

Zhao Shu didn't seem to feel those gazes, and just cupped his hands and bowed down: "According to the old minister's opinion, Wen Cheng justly ruled Shaanxi, appeased the people, and tied up Gao Yingxiang, and fought dozens of bandits with all his might, which is a great achievement."

"Then the Battle of Persimmon Garden, the Battle of Ruzhou, the double wealth, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were overthrown, so that the first emperor died, and the Central Plains became smelly..."

"Therefore, it is difficult for Gao Jue to do anything, and it is appropriate to promise to be a son or uncle."

These words, in the ears of everyone, are reasonable.

The right of kings is sacred. .

The emperor can't make mistakes, so mistakes can only appear on the ministers.

In the opinion of many literati and bureaucrats, and even the ruling and opposition parties, if Sun Chuanting hadn't underestimated the enemy's defeat, Li Zicheng would not have occupied Shaanxi, and then he would not have attacked Beijing.

The first emperor will not die, and the Ming Dynasty will not perish.

Therefore, the blame lies with Sun Chuanting.

In fact, when the posthumous title of Wen Cheng was bestowed on the defeated man, the government and the public were noisy for a while, but the status of the emperor's father-in-law overwhelmed everything.

Zhu Yixi smiled, making it hard to tell.

Obviously, Zhao Shu didn't completely fall for the prince, or in other words, he didn't have the heart to form a so-called princeling party.

This is consistent with Dongchang's investigation.

The cabinet is still under his control, which is good.

"As a posthumous gift to Sun Chuanting's son, Sun Shirui, as Daizhou Bo, bestowed a mansion and [-] hectares of farmland."

The rest of the content is how to confer titles on other generals.

The cabinet discussed it and decided to divide into three classes.

Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chengzong, who are at the level of supervisors and have more meritorious service, are awarded the title of Earl of their family.

At the first level of the general army, such as Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Liaojiao, He Kegang, Hu Dawei, Yang Guozhu, Wang Tingchen and other brave generals who died in Liaodong and inland battlefields over the years.

Even if there are those who are granted world titles, their heirs will be posthumously awarded as Viscounts.

(After the abolition of the military household guard system, those world jobs survived in name only)
As for the barons, they are basically guerrillas and generals who sacrificed outstanding contributions. These numbers are the largest, and there are hundreds of them in the Liaodong battlefield alone.

The imperial court is not short of this little money and food, and it will only cost tens of thousands of stones a year!

The rest of the small and medium-sized generals really can't be sealed, so let's directly include their descendants in the Guozijian to study!

The specific list has to be discussed and discussed with the Ministry of War and local yamen.

In the decades-long war, the casualties were too heavy.

The cabinet has been reorganized several times, and the reorganization of the commander-in-chief level has been quick. Ten candidates have been decided in just two or three days.

The rest of the second class can only wait for the result slowly.

Such a reward immediately caused an uproar in the entire capital, and the mighty voice of the emperor's grace was heard endlessly.

The teahouses are still the busiest place in Jingcheng, and some teahouses even set up small theaters to attract customers by singing.

As a result, the rich and powerful teahouses immediately became prominent and became big teahouses, which catered to middle- and upper-class people who liked to be lively, such as the sons and daughters of various nobles, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen.

They all regard the teahouse as a place to chat and relieve boredom.

The babbling libretto attracted a large audience.

The box on the second floor can be seen clearly, and it is a mixture of concealment and excitement, which is really unique.

"Please, slow down, you—"

With a smile on his face, Man Shou walked up the stairs to a middle-aged man in a robe and entered the box.

Sun Shirui glanced sideways at the stage below, and said, "It's hard to pick such a place for your thoughts."

"There is a sense of liveliness in the elegance and tranquility."

"Brother, as long as you like it." Manshou smiled brightly, and told the waiter beside him: "To make a pot of West Lake Longjing, you must use the ones picked before the Qingming rain, and you must use the jade spring water from this morning."

After a while, several exquisite pastries were presented.

"Brother Man, if you have something to say, just speak up!"

Sun Shirui shook his head, quite helplessly.

Originally, he had done a good job as a doctor of the Lifan Academy, and the emperor made him a count if he had nothing to do, so he couldn't stay any longer.

I can only resign.

It's impossible for you to go to Dian Mao, and the Shangguan will salute you, right?

You must know that Xungui is extremely courteous to all officials.

This Manshou was the son of the great general Man Gui back then, who had inherited brocade clothes and clothes, and now he has long since left the army and has become a civil servant.

The six ministries went north, and the Li Fan Academy and the Organization Department were newly established. Naturally, many of the former Xun's children took up positions. This man's full life has moved from being a superintendent to the post of principal.

These days, they have specially flattered each other, and the two of them are familiar with each other quite a bit.

"Hey, Brother Sun, didn't you hear that His Majesty rewarded the old honor? I heard that my father and his old man were also selected. I don't know if it's true?"

Man Shou said cautiously, his eyes full of expectation.

"It should be true."

Sun Shirui thought for a while, and said: "Young Master Man has made great achievements in battle, and your family's world position is gone, so there will definitely be a conferment."

"Well, it's not because I'm greedy for the title, it's really an embarrassment for the family." Man Shou felt ashamed, and then said with emotion:
"If my father can be resurrected, there will definitely be a pair of knights."

Thinking of this, Man Shou was full of emotions, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Now, I can only sigh a word about the greatness of the emperor's grace——"

After saying that, he knelt down in the direction of the palace, tears streaming down his face.

Don't worry about eating and drinking any more, rich and rich...

After eating and drinking, and walking out of the teahouse, Sun Shirui's ears were full of comments:
"I'm dead, my son has a noble, it seems that I didn't die in vain..."

"Hey, how about today's Renhou (thumbs up)!"

"It's worth it, I don't know what kind of noble I can get for this one hundred and eighty catties left on the battlefield..."
