Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 89: Reward based on merit and set up a Privy Council!
Looking at the lines of text that were brushed out, Zhao Yu's mind moved and he brought up the personal attributes panel.

[Martial Arts: None. 】

very good!

Zhao Yu looked at the attribute panel and expressed great satisfaction.

Immediately, he looked at the ministers in the palace.

"Where are Zhang Xiu and Fan Zhen, the commanders of the Forbidden Army?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

This seems... to reward based on merit?
Zhang Xiu and Fan Zhen heard the words, suppressed their excitement, and came out to worship: "Minister Zhang Xiu/Fan Zhen, see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yu looked at the two people, nodded slightly, and asked:

"How is the defense in the Imperial Palace and Shenjing City now?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu glanced at Fan Zhen and took the lead in saying:
"Thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, all the traitors in the palace have been eliminated!"

Fan Zhen took a deep breath, took out a general seal from his bosom, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, we have captured all the military power in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Beijing Army Camp! It's just..."

He took a deep breath and continued:

"Liu Changfeng and Han Shao, the two remaining generals in the Beijing army camp, were unwilling to hand over their military power and even prepared to besiege the capital city. Fortunately, the three brothers He Bayun, He Bayue and He Basheng took action and killed the two generals and stabilized the city. The situation in the army. These three people are all rare generals. The humble ministers are brave, so I ask your majesty to use the three brothers Heba more seriously."

He was originally a subordinate of King Taihe, but he turned to His Majesty. No matter what the reason was, the word "betraying the master" was difficult to escape for a while.

Because of this, his current status in the court is extremely embarrassing.

The three Heba brothers were from the Great Xia Khanate going south. If His Majesty didn't care about their identities, he would definitely recruit the three of them to serve as officials in the court.The three of them are aliens, and their situation in the court is no less difficult than their own.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Fan Zhen was willing to take the risk of recommending these three people to Zhao Yu.

With the status of "recommended leader", it was easier for him and the three brothers to help each other in the court.

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Zhao Yu showed a look of surprise on his face, then chuckled and said:

"I didn't expect that there are loyal people in this Beijing army camp. Come here, let's announce the entry of the three brothers Bayun, He Bayue and He Basheng into the palace!"

These three brothers gave me a big surprise. They helped me win the Beijing camp as soon as they appeared.

With this work of counterinsurgency and my own ability, even if I reuse them, the ministers and workers in the court can't say anything.

At the same time, his Majesty's ministers also began to whisper.

"Listening to the names of these three people, it seems that their surname is He Ba. I don't seem to have this surname in my Chinese surname?"

"This is the Han surname given to themselves by the Hu people of the Great Xia Khanate after they learned Chinese culture."

"Oh, the barbarians in the north also know how to learn the etiquette of my Han family?"

Gao Lishi's loud voice suppressed the whispers of the ministers.

"The three brothers He Ba Yun, He Ba Yue, and He Bas Sheng came to the palace to pay their respects!"

Not long after, two guards led the three people into the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, He Ba Yun/He Ba Yue/He Ba Sheng, meet your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!"

As soon as the three of them entered the palace, they knelt down and saluted Zhao Yu as if they were pushing up a golden mountain or a jade pillar, shouting "Long live" incessantly.

"Three heroes, please get up. General Fan has just told me everything. Without the loyalty of the three heroes, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns in this Beijing army camp."

Zhao Yu asked the three of them to stand up and comforted them.

"Replying to Your Majesty, with Your Majesty's candle shining thousands of miles away, those clowns are just scabies and can be easily eliminated. The three brothers and I are just inheriting His Majesty's power."

Among the three, He Bateyue, the youngest, said loudly.

Oh, look at his political consciousness, he deserves to be the governor-general under the command of the heroic Erzhu Rong.

"I will remember the merits of the three strong men. Hercules, let someone take the three strong men aside temporarily."

After the three Heba brothers were taken away, Zhao Yu continued:
"Xuan Huangzhong, Wei Yan, Wang Xiongdan, Kan Leng, and Du Yu come to the palace!"

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Soon, Huang Zhong and the other five were brought to the palace.

"Huang Zhong and Wei Yan made great contributions in the battle to kill Huang Jingming; Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng, you two not only delivered information to me and Mr. Wang, but also made great contributions in guarding the Zihuan Palace; Du Yu , Mr. Wang made many plans for me after he was forcibly conquered by Huang Jingming, and he was a wise man for a while."

"I dare not be praised by His Majesty!"

The five people quickly raised their hands.

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said: "Gong is merit, fault is fault. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, if you have fault, you will be punished. Don't do these false etiquette in front of me."

After saying that, Zhao Yu looked at Gao Lishi aside.

"Gao Lishi, prepare a move for me!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

"Edict: Zhang Xiu is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. When King Taihe rebelled, he ordered his troops at starry night to quell the chaos and suppress the violence. He is a good general of the country. He is now appointed as the commander of the front department of the palace, and is given the title of Military Cavalry Lieutenant, and a hundred households in the city. As a reward!"

I am very pleased that Commander Fan Zhen, the former commander of the Forbidden Army Palace, abandoned his secret position and turned to the bright side at the critical moment to help me put down the rebellion.Today, I take the post of Commander of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, and also hold the position of Deputy Governor of the Shenjing City Gate. I will be given the title of Yunqi Lieutenant and the title of a hundred households in the city as a reward! "

Zhang Xiu and Fan Zhen were stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhao Yu in disbelief, only to see the man on the dragon chair smiling slightly and nodding towards them.

In an instant, tears blurred the eyes of the two of them.

"My lord, Zhang Xiu/Fan Zhen, please obey the imperial edict!"

Looking at the two people who received the order to thank them, it was absolutely impossible for all the officials in the palace not to be jealous.

Everyone can see that as His Majesty regains power, those who unswervingly follow His Majesty's footsteps will soar into the sky!
However, Zhao Yu's reward based on merit has just begun.

Subsequently, Du Yu, the school clerk, was awarded the title of Hanlin Bachelor, Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng were awarded the title of Commander of the Front Division, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were awarded the titles of Governor and Deputy Governor of the Beijing Army Camp. He Bayun was named Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and He Bayue and He Ba Shengjin were both named deputy generals of the Beijing camp.

Chu Ziwen, the imperial censor, and others also had their own awards, including titles, gold and silver, and promotions to official positions.

After awarding the meritorious ministers quite a lot, Zhao Yu was about to take a breath and talk about the awards for the last person, when suddenly Kan Leng opened his voice and shouted:
"Your Majesty, I have a humble request, and I hope your Majesty will grant it." Wang Xiongdan, who was close to him, could not hold him back.

"General Kan, could it be that the general is dissatisfied with Feng Shangxin?"

There was a trace of coldness in Zhao Yu's voice.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.

Good guy, you really picked it up.

Although Kan Leng was a little reckless, he also realized that something was wrong, so he shook his head repeatedly and kept pleading guilty.

"Your Majesty wrongly blamed Wei Chen. Wei Chen is only happy about your Majesty's reward and An has other thoughts."

Having said this, Kan Leng stretched out his hand and scratched his head, with a silly smile on his face.

"Although Wei Chen's martial arts skills are passable, they are still inferior to those of the two generals Huang and Wei. It is certainly an honor for Wei Chen to be the commander of an imperial army to protect His Majesty, but this is not Wei Chen's wish. Wei Chen would rather Kill the enemy on the battlefield and kill the future to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

Kan Leng said so much in one breath, then he knelt down, touched his head to the ground and said:

"I have finished what I have to say, and please Your Majesty punish my crime. However, if Your Majesty can punish this minister to the border, then I will be willing to be a pawn."

"This guy, just for this reason, do you want me to punish him?"

Pointing to Kan Leng below, who looked like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, Zhao Yu looked dumbfounded.

The ministers in the palace also laughed softly, but it was unclear how much of this laughter was envy of Kan Leng.

As the saying goes, there is no greater merit than the Savior, and no greater sin than rebellion.

In the eyes of all the ministers, Zhang Xiu, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan, these little-known military lieutenant generals, had completely gained His Majesty's trust by virtue of their efforts in escorting and suppressing the rebellion. Since then, they have soared into the sky and become the most popular figures in the military. Upstart.

Although Kan Leng's remarks are somewhat rude, they better reflect his dedication to meritorious service.

As expected, Zhao Yu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, pointed at Kan Leng and cursed with a smile:

"Youwei said that you were a fool in the Forbidden Army. Now I think you are indeed a bit confused. But if I have more fools in Dachu, how can the neighboring countries dare to invade? Forget it, I will comply with your wishes. . There are a total of four positions for deputy generals in Jingying, and there are exactly two positions missing. You, Kan Lengzi, should also go to Jingying to be a deputy general. Before you go, let Gao Lishi take you to my Da Chu Secret Storehouse to choose a weapon that you can use. "

After hearing Zhao Yu's arrangement, all the generals in the palace looked at Kan Leng with envy in their eyes.

Really foolish people have foolish blessings.

There is nothing to say about the position of deputy general of the Beijing camp, but it is a rare honor for a general to enter the secret storehouse in the palace to choose weapons.

The secret library is a four-storey attic built in the palace during the time of Taizu. It stores countless martial arts cheats, magical weapons, and panacea that Da Chu has collected since the founding of the country. The big sects should also feel ashamed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Kan Leng obviously also knew about the existence of the secret library, thanked Zhao Yu happily, and stepped aside.

"From now on, I will set up a Privy Council in the middle of the court to take charge of military affairs, military defense, border preparations, military and horse administration, and to issue secret orders to help me in charge of military affairs."

"This……"

After hearing Zhao Yu's words, the ministers in the palace looked at each other for a while, but they were afraid of Zhao Yu's methods and did not dare to speak.

However, if the Privy Council assists the emperor in managing military affairs, what role does the Ministry of War play among the six ministries?
"Mr. Wang, I appoint you as the first Privy Council Envoy with a first-grade salary."

As soon as Zhao Yu said these words, all the ministers reacted.

His Majesty established the Privy Council originally to reward Wang Pu and Wang Wenbo for his achievements!
However, they, the ministers, could not raise the slightest objection, not even any objection.

What an honor it is to set up a hospital for one person!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Pu is His Majesty's former minister, and even His Majesty's think tank.It is precisely because of Wang Pu, Zhang Xiu and others that His Majesty was able to make a comeback and complete a shocking reversal in one fell swoop.

To oppose them now is to question His Majesty's will and to oppose His Majesty!
Looking at the tragic situation of those people not long ago, who in this court dares to shoot at this time without fear of death?

Everyone hasn't lived enough yet!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

In the Taiji Hall, there were even several officials with fast heads who had already come out to sing praises.

"I thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is so kind, I can only repay it with death!"

Wang Pu choked with sobs and went out to express his gratitude.

"My husband and I have known each other since we were young. Now that we are here today, your husband has contributed a lot. Without this official position, there is no way to reward him for his contribution."

[Ding, Wang Pu's loyalty +20, intimacy +300! 】

[Attention, Wang Pu’s loyalty has been raised to the highest point, and his intimacy has reached full value. The close minister event will be triggered within one month! 】

Hearing this system prompt, Zhao Yu didn't know whether he was happy or worried for a moment.

The good news is that when Wang Pu becomes a close minister, his and his own six dimensions will increase by 5 points; the bad news is that Wang Pu's lifespan will also be reduced by 10 years.

Ten years, there are several more decades in life...

It seems that I am also going to take a trip to the secret warehouse during these days to see if there is any magic elixir that can prolong life.

I can't let the scene of "died before leaving the teacher" appear on Wang Pu.

Of course, the best way is to draw cards and draw out some miracle doctors who have left their names in history to diagnose and treat Wang Pu.

Even, not only Wang Pu, but also the ministers in the court can check their bodies regularly, so that hidden diseases in their bodies can be discovered and treated early.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty, what is the difference between the Privy Council and the Ministry of War? How are the duties and powers divided?"

Since he became the chief official of the Privy Council, Wang Pu naturally wanted to ask about the responsibilities of the Privy Council.

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said:
"The Privy Council is in charge of military symbols and military strategy, and is the highest command body of the army; the Ministry of War is responsible for the daily routine and logistics of the army. This is the general policy. Privy Council Wang and the Ministry of War will negotiate the rest slowly, and then report it to me."

After the founding of the Chu State, all state military affairs were concentrated in the Ministry of War, which made military power too centralized.

It's okay that Zhao Yu didn't take power. Now that he has regained power and become the emperor in the true sense, it is natural to divide the military power for checks and balances, thereby dividing the military power and consolidating the imperial power.

Generally speaking, Zhao Yu's idea is that the Privy Council has the power to mobilize military affairs, and the Ministry of War has the power to control military affairs.

In other words, the Privy Council can deploy the army, but it does not have the power to control the army. On the contrary, the Ministry of War can control the national army, but it cannot deploy the army for combat without the authorization of the Privy Council.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wang Pu immediately understood what Zhao Yu meant, accepted the order to thank him, and retreated.

However, he was thinking more in his heart.

Now that His Majesty is back in power, and as the court gradually stabilizes, with His Majesty's temperament, recovering lost territory and opening up new territories will definitely be mentioned in the future. I must make preparations in advance to share His Majesty's worries.

The waves behind are pushing the waves ahead. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I will be crushed by Du Yuankai...
