The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 174 Title Issue
Lao Zhu's decree to become a marquis came out, and the whole court was in an uproar.

Everyone has no objection to Zheng Xiong's Marquis, after all, Zheng Xiong deserves the position of Marquis due to his merits.

When queuing up to share fruits, no one would speak ill of Zheng Xiong.

Uncomfortable is uncomfortable because of being a champion.

Since ancient times, the title of champion is the supreme honor.

Huo Qubing sealed the wolf to live in Xu, and Zen in Guyan.

Dou Xian drinks Ma Hanhai, Le Shi Yanran.

The merits of the two of them fully deserve this title.

It's just that Jia Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty lowered the rank of Champion Hou.

As the founding minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he participated in many wars.

However, there were no particularly significant achievements. Jia Fu, who was the commander of the capital's garrison at the time, did not have the achievements of drinking horses and vast seas as a symbol of the champion Hou Rongyao.

Therefore, the gold content of Champion Hou has been lowered a lot for no reason.

This decision made by Lao Zhu is also related to his own experience.

The champion marquis is the supreme honor of a military general, so Taishan Fengchan is the emperor's highest honor.

It's a pity that Song Zhenzong, such an emperor who ran away, dared to go to Taishan to enshrine Zen, which seriously lowered the grade and prestige of Taishan Fengchan.

It made Lao Zhu lose interest in enshrining Zen in Mount Tai.

The rank of the champion is also constantly lowered, so the title of a champion is not very important in Lao Zhu's heart.

Lao Zhu's west, middle, and east armies galloped across the grasslands, and it didn't feel too uncomfortable to give a champion.

The champion, the champion of the three armies, the first credit.

The title given by Lao Zhu undoubtedly listed Zheng Xiong's contribution first in the battle to wipe out the Yuan Court.

The civil official group has nothing to do with Zheng Xiong's title. After all, a civil official can win the supreme glory of a general in this war, and his heart is more excited.

Including Hu Weiyong, who is headed by Huaixi Xunguizhong and belongs to the civil official group, did not have much reaction to this award.

Mainly as a member of the civil servants, Li Shanchang is also the one who has benefited the most from among the great officials.

Lao Zhu once said: Although Li Shanchang did not make great contributions, he has followed me for many years and provided military rations. He has made great contributions and should be promoted to a great country.

There are six Feng Gongs, and Li Shanchang ranks first.

No matter what situation Lao Zhu is considering, his affirmation of Li Shanchang is also his affirmation of the civil official group.

There is only one Li Shanchang, and the other civil officials are at most an earl, such as Liu Bowen and Wang Guangyang and other civil servants.

Now that Zheng Xiong is an official of the fifth rank, it has become the norm to be named a marquis of a super rank, no more than a military general. There are basically no civil officials who are superior in rank, and the ones who are crowned are champion marquises, which makes these civil officials feel strange.

He was originally a subordinate's younger brother, but now he has become a marquis, more powerful than old ministers like Liu Bowen and Wang Guangyang.

Even though the civil official group is fighting endlessly within, they dare not engage in any tricks to disrupt the situation on this issue, and will not let go of the opportunity to suppress the generals group.

Some of them agreed and shouted loudly.

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Some do not make any remarks, such as Hu Weiyong's affiliation.

The fact that Zheng Xiong named Champion Hou gave the civil official group a face, but it was not so pleasant for the military general group.

Forget about Li Shanchang, at least they have gone through life and death together, and they understand each other.

But Zheng Xiong, a civil servant with no merits, has won the supreme glory of a general.

Emotionally, it is naturally not acceptable, and I also object to Lao Zhu's decision in my heart.

A group naturally wants to strive for the greatest benefit for its own group.

Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng and others did not take the lead, but the younger brothers under them couldn't wait, and there were endless voices of opposition.

"Think twice, Your Majesty, Zheng Xiong is the Marquis and I have nothing to say, but since ancient times, the title of Marquis of Champions has always been the existence of being the champion of the three armies and invincible in the battlefield. Zheng Xiong has no power to restrain a chicken, and he has no achievements in the ground. He really can't be called a champion. Please take it back."

Someone started, and many generals who came out from behind spoke one after another.

"I hope your Majesty will think twice."

Old Zhu glanced around, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and the several princes looked at their noses, their noses at their hearts, and didn't say a word.

"Wen Zhong, tell me too."

"Yes, the title given by His Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense, but the army always puts force first, and the champion should be the champion of the three armies. Zheng Xiong really does not qualify for this title."

Li Wenzhong expressed his position, and the younger brothers left the backbone and came out to speak one after another.

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Seeing this, Xu Da and others stopped pretending, and the younger brothers were not convinced, they still needed to ask for help, and since it was related to the interests of the generals group, they also opened their mouths.

"Your Majesty, I dare not comment on the title of Marquis, but the title of Champion Marquis to Zheng Xiong is indeed open to question. Think twice, Your Majesty."

I'm in a hurry, the generals group is in a hurry, the civil servants are very happy, it's a good feeling that happiness is based on other people's pain.

"Your Majesty, I think that although Zheng Xiong has no achievements in the field, no battle achievements, let alone the victory of the three armies, when it comes to the achievements of this battle, Zheng Xiong's things can always turn the situation around."

"The general went deep into the rear and fell into the trap of the Yuan army. Thanks to Zhentianlei to resolve the crisis, he then moved to the grassland and used the telescope to predict the enemy's opportunities."

"Including several battles, the role of Zhentianlei is indispensable, and it is the key to a quick victory in this battle."

"In terms of merit, it should be the first merit. Judging from the merits that lead the three armies, it is also worthy of it."

Continuing to add obstacles, just like this, the court was divided into three groups of people, and debates started around whether Zheng Xiong deserved the title of champion.

The civil servants were divided into neutral faction and support faction, while the generals were all opposed, making Old Zhu think twice.

Sometimes the words were fierce, but the generals glared at the agreeing civil servants with threats in their eyes.

The smell of gunpowder in the courtroom became stronger and stronger, and many people were scolded out of anger. For the first time, the confrontation between civil and military was directly expressed in front of Lao Zhu.

However, the civilian group is somewhat weak, and the neutral ones do not speak, which is not as large as the military generals.

The momentum gradually weakened.

Fortunately, a group of civil servants spoke to Zheng Xiong, not all members opposed it.

Lao Zhu's goal has also been achieved, focusing on Zheng Xiong's title.

And there is a gap between civil and military, and the next step is to expand this gap, grasp a balance, and avoid collusion between civil and military.

"Give me a break."

All of a sudden, Lao Zhu roared, and the scene fell silent.

"I'm only judging by merit. The title of Champion Marquis is my best word, so I don't need to say much."

"Sapphire listening seal."

"The end is here."

"Lan Yu conquered Meng Yuan from the general, took the lead and made many military exploits, and the vanguard under his command risked their lives and wiped out the Yuan court center."

"Now that it has been pacified, it is appropriate to receive a reward. It is specially sealed as Marquis of Yongchang, hereditary from descendants, and the food salary is [-] shi."

"The final general will thank His Majesty Long En."

"Where is Zhou Xian?"

"The end is here."

"Commander Zhou Xian accompanied Cao Guogong in the crusade against Meng Yuan. He was not afraid of life and death, and captured Yuan Emperor and his generals alive. He made outstanding achievements."

"Now that it has been pacified, it is appropriate to receive a reward. It is specially named the Marquis of Runan County, which will be hereditary from descendants, and the food salary will be [-] shi."
