A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 594
Wang Dou took out his handkerchief and handed it to Wang Desheng: "The snot is about to flow down, wipe it off."

Wang Desheng was quite moved, and secretly glanced around again, whispering softly: "I don't want it anymore, I'm afraid I'll be impeached for being disrespectful in front of the palace, and this will affect Uncle Zhongyong."

Wang Dou smiled and said, "It's okay, let's wipe it off."

Wang Desheng looked left and right again, and took the handkerchief from Wang Dou like lightning. He wiped his nose with one hand, and held the heavy mahogany and gold wire tray with the other hand. In the cold wind, the tray was as stable as Mount Tai, motionless. body in stark contrast.

Wang Dou gave Wang Desheng a meaningful look, then turned his head back.

Hong Chengchou, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Wang Tingchen and others beside him should not have seen it. They paid attention to the civil and military officials on Wang Dou's side, and they should have not seen the praise ceremony. Wei Zhenfu, General Guard, etc., many people also pretended not to see it.

As for Wang Dou, many people didn't want to provoke him, at least they didn't want to provoke him openly, and that Wang Desheng was also the confidant of the eunuch Wang Chengen's side, the little eunuch, how could Wang Chengen be easy to provoke?The less trouble, the better.

A correctional officer put on a serious face and wanted to come over, but Wang Dou's eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at him, making him suffocate, turned around and walked to the side.

When the time was not right, the drums sounded, and the emperor's guard of honor arrived in his chariot, and his attendants, Ban Wenwu, entered to meet the chariot, and beat the drums three times. The door and the east ear room are covered with mianfu.

Sheren cited civil and military officials and stood in Danchi, and invited rewarded officials to stand in order. Soon, the music in the teaching workshop was loud, and the emperor came out with a whip and ascended the seat. Sichen invited the prince, Yongwang, King Ding entered from the east gate of Fengtianmen, and led all the officials to enter, and each of the rewarded officials to enter.

When Wang Dou entered the Huangji Hall, with a glance, he saw the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who each set up a gift case. The crown prince, King Yong, and King Ding stood beside the throne. Looking at the rewarding generals, he especially cast his eyes on Wang Dou.

To them, Wang Dou's name is like thunder.

There are also hundreds of civil and military officials, and guards of honor are all over the place. He has seen the Ming Dynasty Canon, and the scene in front of him is consistent with the words in his memory.

When you enter, you pay your respects, and the Zhiban sings together. At this time, praise is sung and bowed, and the music of the Jiaofang Division is loud.

"bye."

Amidst the music, Wang Dou and everyone bowed down.

"prosper."

Wang Dou stood up again and rushed over.

"bye……"

Wang Dou got down again.

"prosper……"

"bye."

Finally, Wang Dou heard: "...Ping Shen."

Wang Dou stood up a little dizzy.

But soon, the salute sang again: "The rewarded officer kneels!"

Wang Dou and all the officials and generals who received the reward knelt down.

At this time, the music stopped, and the praise sang loudly: "Reward!"

He glanced at his jade wat, and shouted loudly: "I invite the No. 1 reward officer, Uncle Zhongyong, Prince Taibao, and General Zhenshuo Wang Dou to step forward and receive the title!"

At this time, the Jiaofang Secretary played the "Song of Comforting the Siyi", a grand movement, as if rising from the depths of a person's soul: "Little General, Great Ming Lord. Ding Yuhuan, Sheng Enkuan, Zhang Jiangshan. Donglu Xirong, Beidi and Nanman. Hands held high, treasure plate, joyous in front of the hall. Wuyun palace towers in the sky, golden light shines on the eyes. Yugou golden water murmurs, looking down at the fontanel, tending to look. Yiluan is solemn and majestic. Chilling. My emperor has a long life, passed the door, fixed Yuhuan, fixed Yuhuan. Take control of the country, caress the barbarians, sing, worship and dance to praise, for thousands of years, the emperor's career is safe!"

In the majestic movement, Wang Dou stood up, and under the gaze of all the people, guided by a group of people, he came to the imperial gift case, facing the throne of Emperor Chongzhen.

The little eunuch Wang Desheng also followed behind Wang Dou, and stood behind Wang Dou's left after Wang Dou stood still.

Under the attention of Emperor Chongzhen, princes, kings, civil and military officials, a successor official came out.

In the music, he proclaimed: "My loyal and brave uncle Wang Dou, who has made great contributions to the country, should be rewarded with a title. Now Wang Dou is granted the post of commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town. He is named Marquis of Yongning, with a salary of three thousand stones and a book of alchemy. Iron coupons, hereditary and eternal seal, Wangqing will bear my fate and live up to my expectations."

Wang Dou's heart skipped a beat, Marquis of Yongning?I am stationed on Jiedong Road, that is, Yongning City on East Road is used as a place of food and salary.

He thanked him and said: "I am afraid, I have little talent and little learning, and I am afraid that I will bear the grace of God."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "You don't have to be overly modest about your love. In the Battle of Liaodong, you beheaded thousands of people. You have made outstanding achievements. You deserve this seal."

No matter how humble Wang Dou was, Emperor Chongzhen spoke again, and finally Wang Dou bowed down: "I am sincere and fearful, and I would like to accept orders."

The Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs in the palace looked at all this with jealousy in his eyes.

Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhou Kui was only granted the title of Jiading Bo at the beginning. Of course, Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu were later named Zhongyong Bo and Zhongzhen Bo. Bang Bohou appeared, alas, the martial arts are flourishing, and the country's dynasty is in great misfortune.

At this time, Zheng Sanjun, the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took the imperial edict in his hands. His behavior was quite similar to that of Li Rixuan, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials. .”

The imperial order was given to Wang Dou, who took it over and handed it over to the little eunuch Wang Desheng beside him.

At this time, the praise sang again: "You Feng, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, Wang Xie, is virtuous and virtuous. She can be Mrs. Hou, and her mother, Wang Zhong, can be Mrs. Taihou. The eldest son Wang Zheng is the commander of Yin Jinyiwei."

"There is a reward..."

"His Majesty the Emperor rewards the Marquis of Yongning, the umbrella covers the flag, the marquis' honor guard..."

"Reward crown clothes and other things, a gauze hat, a golden rhinoceros belt, a set of regular clothes, a red woven gold chest and back unicorn round collar..."

"Rewards, one piece of green stickers, one pair of leather hats, one leather hat of seven-pocket crepe crepe, one branch of jade kui, one piece of big red plain leather hat..."

"As a reward, a piece of brocade ribbon with a gold hook and jade pendant, a large red and white plain belt, and four pieces of red alum, red, flat, and gold clips."

"Reward, one piece of black and green flower silk, one piece of dark blue silk, ten pieces of white silk cloth, ten pieces of white silk cloth..."

In addition to the marquis's ceremonial guard, the rewards of jewels, jade and crown clothes were handed over to Wang Dou by Fu Shuxun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was old and frail, and had a trembling manner. One handed over to Wang Desheng, the little eunuch behind him.

Seeing Wang Dou's gifts piled up higher and higher, the palace is full of Chinese and martial arts, and they are all full of envy and jealousy.

The praise was called for a long time, and finally said: "The reward is over, thank you, Marquis of Yongning."

"Fall down," he sang.

Wang Dou got down again.

"Xing... worship... Xing... worship... Xing... flat body."

Just as Wang Dou got up to take a breath, the salute sang again: "Kneel."

He shouted: "Shanhu."

Wang Dou knelt down in front of the throne, and said: "Long live."

"...Shanhu."

Wang Dou got up and bowed down again: "Long live."

"Mountain call."

Wang Dou bowed again: "Long live."

"Long live."

The military academy of musicians in the palace shouted in unison.

"Long live."

The Chinese and military officials in the palace then shouted in unison.

"Long live."

In the end, Suwei Zhenfu outside the hall, guarding thousands of households, and the generals of the Han Dynasty echoed in unison.

The teacher of the teaching workshop was full of music, the praise ceremony was finally finished, and another servant came out and led Wang Dou back to the original place. The congratulations were like waves along the way. The little eunuch Wang Desheng followed closely behind Wang Dou, with a tray in his hand, stacked full of presents.

Wang Dou returned to the original place, seeing the people around him looking at him, he exhaled, and said to Yang Guozhu next to him, "It's so tiring, more tiring than a big battle."

Yang Guozhu showed a smile on his face: "No matter how tired you are, it's worth it."

Wang Pu, who was not far away, also said: "Not bad, not bad, it's worth it to be named Bohou."

Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, etc. smiled, and looked expectant, Tang Tong was even more nervous and trembling all over, Wu Sangui was not as calm as before, and Hong Chengchou was so deep in the city, he was in a state of anxiety, not knowing what he could seal.

Hearing the salute, he shouted again: "Please invite the second person to be rewarded, Uncle Zhongzhen, Prince Taifu, General Yang Guozhu of Zhenbei, to come forward and receive the title!"

Immediately, Yang Guozhu's face was full of excitement. In the music of Jiaofangsi, he adjusted his clothes and strode forward...

The entitlements on Yiyou Day can be described as large-scale. Not only Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu were enfeoffed as Marquis of Yongning and Marquis of Jibei, but the rest of the reinforcements were given awards. Later, Cao Bianjiao was granted the title of Jingnan Bo, Wang Tingchen was named Ningnan Bo, Liu Zhaoji was named Dongping Bo, and even Tang Tong was named Dingxibo.

Although apart from Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Wu Sangui, the rest are all current titles, not hereditary titles, but they are already satisfied.Fu Yingchong also had to be the commander-in-chief, and he finally sat on an equal footing with his brother Chen Jiugao.

The generals who died in battle, Zu Dashou, Ma Ke, Bai Guangen, Zuo Guangxian, Li Fuming and others, were also named Bohou.

There are also civil servants headed by Hong Chengchou. He has outstanding achievements in Liaodong affairs. Not to mention Dr. Guanglu, Zhu Guo, and Prince Taifu, he is also granted the title of Bo. The name is of great significance.

Moreover, since the Hongzhi year of the Ming Dynasty, except for Wang Shouren, the rest have been conferred titles, whether they are from the royal family or foreign relatives, or from the background of noble military generals, it is rare to see them as uncles as civil servants.

So Hong Chengchou was so excited, he coughed desperately, while crying and thanking him. Looking at his body, Emperor Chongzhen was very worried. Originally, the Liaodong affairs were temporarily suspended. However, it's just his body, it seems that it's not going to work...

After Fengshang returned to the original place, Wang Dou looked at Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Wu Sangui and others, all of them looked excited and their steps were vacant, as if they were in the clouds.

He pondered in his heart: "Cao Bianjiao was conferred the title of Bo Jingnan, and Wang Tingchen was conferred the title of Ning Nanbo. It seems that the emperor's intention to transfer Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen to go south is obvious."

When the rewards are over on that day, and the merits of the generals of the other towns will be discussed and decided by the Ministry of War. In a series of procedures, there are also announcements and sacrifices. For Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet ministers, these are not urgent matters. The important things are the garrison duties in each town, and which frontier troops to dispatch to the Central Plains to wipe out the bandits.

At this time, when it was Shenshi, the emperor ordered a big banquet. During the banquet, Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu and others received constant congratulations. For wine, the Secretary of Jiaofang played the song of nine driving six dragons, and the Secretary of Guanglu withdrew from the imperial case.

Before leaving, Emperor Chongzhen made a decree to call all the cabinet ministers, Governor Hong Chengchou, and a group of newly appointed Bohou, Xiyuan Xiaoyan to speak.
