Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 41
Emperor Chongzhen stood on the Huangji Hall, looking at the civil and military officials standing below, the smile on his face showed no sign of fading.

Now he is refreshed and full of vigor, and he doesn't know where to throw the sad face before.

Now he is standing in the Emperor Palace, like a big red rooster who has won a fight, extremely excited.

He waved his hand, looked at all the civil and military officials, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, have you seen the head of the Tartar that Wei Aiqing escorted back?"

Chief Assistant Shi Fenglai stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, look at it. It really is more than 400 heads of Tartars, and all of them are real Tartars, none of them are murderers who pretended to be meritorious."

"Haha, being able to make such great achievements also proves the loyalty and bloodiness of the officers and soldiers in Xuanfu Town. Regarding their rewards, how is the cabinet research going? Is there a charter?" Chongzhen looked at Shi with a smile on his face. Come on.

"Return to Your Majesty, after such a long discussion, the cabinet has established a reward. I have written all these on the paper, and please read it." Shi Fenglai took out a paper from his sleeve, tall Lifted up.

Cao Huachun took the zhezi from Shi Fenglai and put it on the imperial case in front of Chongzhen.

Chongzhen picked up the booklet and slowly opened it.

After a while, Chongzhen put down the booklet in his hand, looked at Shi Fenglai, and asked, "Why do you only reward Zhao Wen for a small hundred households?"

Shi Feng said: "Return to Your Majesty, this Zhao Wen was just a soldier with no official position before, and now he is a hundred-household officer, which is no small feat."

Chongzhen frowned and said: "Didn't I say before that we should take this Zhao Wen as a role model, not to mention that this Zhao Wen can stand up in a crisis and introduce that tartar into Wengcheng. Such a great achievement only seals a hundred households. Is it unreasonable? This is what Zhao Wen did to lose his head. If this gets out, won’t it chill the hearts of the heroes?”

Shi Fenglai heard Chongzhen's words getting colder and colder, the cold sweat on his head was rushing down, he hastily wiped off the cold sweat on his head, and asked in a low voice: "Then, in your majesty's opinion, what should we do?"

Chongzhen squeezed his beardless chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Didn't the Longmen Fort be breached by the Tartars before? I thought, since this strong man named Zhao Wen has such abilities, it's better to just let him be the one." What do you think of the defense of Longmen Fort?"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not." Yan Mingtai cried out in alarm when he heard that Chongzhen wanted to reward Zhao Wen as the guard of Longmen Fort.

Chongzhen looked at Yan Mingtai with dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice, "Why not?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, although this Zhao Wen has made great achievements, he is still a hundred households. The defense of this fort is comparable to that of a thousand households. It is really inappropriate to be promoted like this. This has been promoted several levels in succession. This is the rule."

"What Yan Aiqing said is also reasonable, but this meritorious service has to be rewarded. The Longmen Fort has been breached by the Tartars, and the entire fortress has been turned into a wasteland. I think this Zhao Wen is a capable person. Why don't you promote him to be a The defense of Longmen Fort can not only calm Zhao Wen's heart, but also turn decay into magic. This is killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it?" Chongzhen said extremely firmly.

Yan Mingtai looked at the resolute Chongzhen, couldn't argue with him, and sighed, "Since your majesty thinks so, I have no choice but to do so."

Chongzhen looked at Yan Mingtai, and suddenly remembered when his emperor brother was in power.

At that time, those Donglin party members used various banners to restrict his freedom.Moreover, they forced the emperor brothers to handle the government and govern the country according to their wishes.If they don't follow their wishes, at least they will scold the emperor's brother as a foolish emperor, and at worst they will force the emperor's brother to issue an imperial edict.Can this sinful edict be issued so easily?
Now, Yan Mingtai didn't dare to refute his own words.It seems that I am indeed more suitable to be an emperor than my brother.If the throne had been passed on to me early, the world would not have become like this.

Emperor Chongzhen secretly thought to himself.

In fact, it wasn't that Yan Mingtai didn't want to refute, but that he didn't have the confidence to refute.

It was clearly written in the victory report document that the first contribution to Xuanfu's victory was Liu Changfu, the eunuch in charge of Xuanfu town, and the eunuch was the emperor's domestic slave.

Therefore, Liu Changfu's reward is beyond their control.And Lu Daliang and Zhao Wen, both military officers, made great contributions under the command of Liu Changfu.

In this way, the victory of the Xuanfu has almost nothing to do with civil servants. Can you, Yan Mingtai, refute it confidently?
Besides, Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, was so overjoyed that he fell into an ambush by the Tartars and suffered countless casualties.Counting it, it can also be related to the Ministry of War.After all, the Ministry of Military Affairs has the responsibility of knowing people without knowing them.

All these things, plus the great victory of the Xuan Mansion now.This virtually increased the prestige of Emperor Chongzhen.Now, Emperor Chongzhen is oppressing people with power, does Yan Mingtai dare to refute?

The rewards for Zhao Wen and Lu Daliang were the result of discussions between the cabinet and the Ministry of War, and they had no control over Liu Changfu who made the first contribution.

Originally, the civil officials also hoped to suppress Chongzhen in the matter of rewarding Zhao Wen.Unexpectedly, Chongzhen would not accept this at all.Directly overwhelmed people with force and refuted their proposal.

As a result, the civil servants were overwhelmed by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen looked at the officials who fell into silence, waved his hands boredly, and said to Cao Huachun, "Let's retreat!"

Cao Huachun stood up straight, pointed down, and shouted loudly: "Retire!"

Chongzhen walked out of the Huangji Hall, and headed towards the Taimiao with an excited expression on his face, ready to brag about his achievements in front of his ancestors.

A few days later, a group of officials on horseback rushed to Xuanfu City.

An eunuch who came to announce the decree stood in front of the general yamen, looked at Lu Daliang, Liu Changfu, Zhao Wen and others who were kneeling on the ground, and slowly opened the imperial decree in his hand.

"Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor, said: Lu Daliang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, has made great contributions to the country, and is now promoted to the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town. Zhao Wen, from the rank of Wulue general, was promoted to the guard of Longmenbao. I hope the two can be loyal Serve the country and fulfill your duties. I admire this!"

The eunuch closed the imperial decree slowly, and said to Lu Daliang and the others: "Everyone, get up."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Zhao Wen knelt on the ground, shouted long live three times, and then stood up.

The eunuch looked at Zhao Wen and said with a smile, "You are Zhao Wen, right?"

"It's down!"

"Sure enough, a hero is born in a young age. He has made such great achievements at such a young age. He is simply envious of others. Do you know that now you are Jane in the heart of the emperor. Originally, those officials were unwilling to give you an official position. This is still The emperor snatched it for you in their hands, you must serve the country well, and don't let down the emperor's painstaking efforts."

The eunuch handed the imperial edict into Zhao Wen's hands, and said earnestly.

"Guard? What kind of officer is the guard? Also, isn't this Longmen Fort the place where the Tartars broke through? I passed by that place before, and it was in ruins. This makes me the guard of Longmen Fort, isn't it? Is it embarrassing?" Zhao Wen looked at the imperial decree in his hand with a depressed face, he really couldn't understand what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.

At this time, Liu Changfu looked at the eunuch with a strange face, and said, "Why is there no reward for me?"

The eunuch looked at Liu Changfu and said with a smile: "I don't know about this, anyway, the emperor asked me to bring you a message to let you return to Beijing. The emperor has his own arrangements for the specific rewards."

"The emperor asked me to go back to Beijing? Is this true?" Liu Changfu asked excitedly with his eyes shining.

"Can this be fake?"

"Haha, I, Liu Changfu, am finally going back to Beijing." Liu Changfu couldn't help smiling at Tianchang.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I, Liu Changfu, can finally return to the capital after staying in Xuanfu for such a long time, haha.

Liu Changfu jumped up excitedly.

　Today's thought is not very good, and the writing is not very good. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me.
