"Wu Qing Bo was promoted from a military general to a border guard within a few months to the family of Duke and Houshi of the Capital. Isn't that a little faster?"

Listening to Cheng Jing reciting the reward order, an official gushed in a low voice.

How many officials have been busy all their lives, but the four words "Master" are out of reach. Even if Shi Heng made contributions to guarding the capital, this reward is really too much.

"I can only say that Your Majesty really paid a big price."

Another official replied sarcastically.

In terms of military achievements, it is already a great gift to allow Shi Heng to step into the threshold of honor and honor.

Thinking about the fact that Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, as the peak civil servant of the Minister of War, went to the place where poisonous insects and miasma in Luchuan. It took five years to fight two battles before he was named Jingyuan Bo by the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

What kind of virtue is Shi Heng? He can surpass Wang Ji and lead the way to the threshold of the marquis first?

There is no doubt that the emperor nowadays is so generous in order to bribe Shi Heng in order to control the military power in his hands.

"Be careful!"

Hearing these sarcastic words, an old official with white hair reminded him that if someone listens to such words, they will be beheaded.

The discussions of the ministers inside and outside Fengtian Hall naturally attracted the attention of the censor who was in charge of etiquette. He immediately shouted loudly and said, "Silent, whoever makes a loud noise can deal with the loss of etiquette in front of the hall!"

After this warning, the ministers who had discussed in a low voice before became quiet instantly quiet.

At the same time, Cheng Jing continued to read: "Yang Hong, the uncle of Changping, was promoted to the title of Marquis of Changping!"

If Shi Heng was named Wu Qinghou, it only made the court officials sigh that the promotion speed was too fast, which triggered some discussion. Then Yang Hong, the general of Xuanfu, was named Changpinghou, which made the civil and military officials present feel angry.

You should know that one of the direct reasons for the defeat of Tumu Fort was that Yang Hong's son Yang Jun abandoned the city and fled, thus cutting off the retreat of the 200,000 troops in person, and could only be trapped in the Jedi of Tumu Fort.

Before the Battle of the Capital, considering the importance of Xuanfu, the important town of the nine borders, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu pardoned Yang Hong for not reporting the crime, and promoted him to Changping Bo. At that time, it aroused the dissatisfaction of many court officials. Considering that the enemy could not have internal chaos at present, it was simply mentioned.

Although Yang Hong fought bravely during the battle of the capital, he played a role in making up for his mistakes. However, compared with Shi Heng's achievements in defeating the enemy, he was still a little worse. Why could he be named Marquis?

Even if you want to win people's hearts, you can't abuse your identity as a grandfather like this, right?

"Your Majesty, I dare to give advice. Changping Bo's achievements are not enough to be promoted!"

When the crowd was infuriated, a young figure stood out of the team and spoke out loudly towards Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.

This person can be regarded as Chen Yichen's old acquaintance. He is Yang Hongze, who entered the cabinet to participate in the maintenance service and was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple!

After so many years, he still maintains a scholarly aura. When he meets this unreasonable reward, he resolutely stands up and opposes.

Seeing someone openly stand up against it, and the other party was still a new cabinet minister, Yang Hong's face looked a little ugly. However, in this case, he could not defend himself, so he could only look at Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu on the dragon throne.

"Yang Qing's family, the Marquis of Changping, discovered the treacherous plan of the Tartars and stood in the Xuanfu and stayed in the door. Later, during the battle of guarding the capital, he urgently mobilized 20,000 elite troops from Shanxi to assist the capital, and chased and killed Yu Kou all the way to Bazhou. He was a great contribution."

When faced with Yang Hongze's doubts, Zhu Qiyu did not use imperial power to suppress it. Instead, he patiently explained the reason for the promotion.

Just seeing the manner of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, Chen Yichen shook his head secretly. He and Yang Hongze can be said to be mortal enemies, and he knows the other party's temper and nature. This guy is a "corrupt scholar" who believes in the truth.

The explanation is useless, and you are likely to be unable to say anything about him, and after falling into a dispute over lips and teeth, it will greatly weaken the emperor's authority.

In history, Zhu Qiyu's overly friendly character did not win him respect for the court officials, but instead suffered a lot of contempt. Especially when it came to the re-establishment of the crown prince, he actually wanted to use bribes to ministers in the court. This trick was really eye-opening.

The same is true for the emperor.

Sure enough, facing Zhu Qiyu's explanation, Yang Hongze said with no regard for it: "Changping Bo was rushing to the capital, but when he arrived, the Tartars had already retreated. The so-called pursuit of Yu Kou had only captured forty-eight people and beheaded at level 48."

"If this function is a marquis, then Wuqing Hou should be called Wuqing Duke!"

Yang Hongze not only attacked Yang Hong, but also involved Shi Heng in, showing that there was something in his words.

When this passage came out, not only Yang Hong's face was ugly, but Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu was a little unaware of his resignation. After all, he had only been registered for a few months, and this was the first time that such a dynasty meeting was held in accordance with merit and meritorious deeds. As a result, he never expected that someone would be so disrespectful to the court officials.

It can only be said that Zhu Qiyu was a little too hasty in the face of the pressure of the emperor's brother returning to Beijing, hoping to win people's hearts by relying on his kindness. Yang Hong refused Zhu Qizhen's call in Xuanfu, so he would definitely not be able to stand on the side of the Emperor. In addition, he controlled the military power of the nine-sided important towns, which was indeed the best target to win over.

But unfortunately, the black spots of Yang Hong's son cannot be erased, and his military achievements are far inferior to Shi Heng. In normal times, court officials may have agreed. Now that the power to support the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing is getting bigger and bigger, trouble will naturally arise.

"Yang Shaoqing's words are reasonable. As the saying goes, "Son is not the fault of the godfather. How can the incident of Yang Jun, the guard of the horse camp of Tumubao, abandoning the city and absconding, be regarded as not happening?"

At this time, a Hanlin official stood up. He was classmates with Yang Hongze in the same year. Now that the power structure of the court has changed drastically, civil officials have an absolute advantage and no longer have to be accustomed to border generals.

The responsibility for the defeat of Tumu Fort is liquidated if it should be liquidated.

"That's right, General Yang's Feng Bo is already full of emperor's grace, and the title of marquis is indeed a virtue but not worthy of position!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Your Majesty is careful!"

Faced with the opposition of the ministers, Yang Hong's old face turned red with words like "virtue is not worthy of position". Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu also sat blankly on the dragon throne, without experience in dealing with such things, and did not know what to do next.

Zhu Qiyu's "helpless" performance was seen by Yang Shan and others in the hall, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

The "Saving the King of Time" is just like this, and it seems that it is far from reaching the level of controlling the court.

Looking at this scene, Yang Hong knew that he could not make things difficult for the emperor, and he could not risk the world's ruthlessness to be promoted to the title. Just as he was about to refuse on his own, another young courtier stood up, and his robe was extremely conspicuous.

"Everyone, I have different opinions and believe that General Yang can afford the title of Marquis of Changping."

That’s right, the person who stands up and disagrees is Chen Yichen!

"Mr. Chen, I want to hear what your opinion is."

He Pingyan stood up immediately after that. He was inexplicably suppressed by Chen Yichen in the morning, and he felt extremely frustrated.

Now Chen Yichen is starting to speak loudly again, He Pingyan wants to see what kind of flowers this son can say.

"Although the Tartars had retreated when they arrived at the capital, their military achievements were only hundreds of enemy leaders. But don't forget one thing, that is, during the pursuit, they seized tens of thousands of people and animals. "

"To be precise, it is 36,127 people and more than 50,000 livestock of all kinds. The lives of the people of our Ming Dynasty are thousands of times better than those of the Tartars. Isn't this merit enough to be a marquis?"

Chen Yichen's words were firm and decisive. His military achievements were not only about killing the enemies, but also about saving his compatriots.

If more than 30,000 people were captured and taken to Mobei, one hundred people would survive in the end. Yang Hongqian held the Xuanfu city and did not allow the Mongolian army to cross the line, and later saved thousands of people. Why could not be granted a title of marquis?

As soon as Chen Yichen said this, it caused an uproar in the court. Indeed, in the past, military merit statistics only killed the enemy's heads, and never counted the Ming people who were recaptured.

How can the lives of more than 30,000 people be taken over in one word?

"As a general of the Ming Dynasty, it is a duty to protect the country and the people. Can this be considered a military merit?"

He Pingyan immediately refuted that if we count this way, all the generals on the nine sides would be awarded titles.

"As an official, it is a political achievement. Why is it not to take back the people of our Ming Dynasty? I would like to ask He Shaoqing, if you have your relatives and friends among the people, will you feel that Changping Bo has no contribution?"

"You are making a point of reason!"

Listening to Chen Yichen turning the conversation to him, He Pingyan felt that the other party was simply unreasonable. Is this the same thing?

"I think the words of Sima are justified. Military merit is not only about killing the enemy, but also about protecting the country and safeguarding the people."

Just as the two were arguing, Yu Qian, the Minister of War, stood up and supported Chen Yichen.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Without any hesitation, Shi Heng, who had just been promoted to Wuqing Hou, expressed his attitude.

You should know that Shi Heng was originally a tiger general, and he was even more inflamed in the later stage. Yang Hongze implicated himself in front, and he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to fight back. Now Chen Yichen is leading the way and Yu Qian is standing in the team. When will he not express his opinion at this time?

Yu Qian and Shi Heng were the biggest contributors in this battle of guarding the capital, especially Yu Qian, the Minister of War. It is not an exaggeration to call him the general of supporting the building.

If he hadn't said "Those who move south should be killed", I'm afraid the battle of the capital would be another ending, and the Ming Dynasty would also become the Song Dynasty with its clothes and its clothes were flying south.

More importantly, these two people not only worked hard and made great contributions, but also controlled most of the troops of the 10th Battalion of the Capital. Even if they offended the popular important officials as straightforward as Yang Hongze, they chose to endure and not be the first to refute.

"I think Chen Qing's words are justified. The Marquis of Changping brought back tens of thousands of people abducted by Ming Dynasty. They also had outstanding achievements, so it is natural to be named a Marquis!"

If Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu had the intention of discussing before, then his words now have the final say of the emperor.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Chen Yichen immediately shouted, maintaining Zhu Qiyu's majesty and confirming the fact that Yang Hong was granted the title of marquis.

It is true that Yang Hong had some mistakes before, but the flaws did not hide the merits. Only when he continued to guard Xuanfu could Mongolia have no opportunity to take advantage of.

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Realizing that the matter was settled, all the civil and military officials in the court shouted this sentence, even Yang Hongze and others were no exception.

This scene made Queen Mother Sun, behind the pearl curtain, see it. She subconsciously clenched her fist and her nails were deeply trapped in the flesh. The more majestic Emperor Zhu Qiyu, the more support he received, it means that even if her son returns to the capital, he will never be able to sit on the throne again.

It has changed so much in several months. The once timid King Huang slowly has his own foundation!

With the precedent of Shi Heng, the Marquis of Wuqing, and Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, the subsequent rewards would be much smoother, and basically all the heroes received satisfactory rewards. However, the highlight of this reward on merit was soon arrived, which was Yu Qian, the biggest hero in the Battle of the Capital. What kind of reward should he get?

At this moment, Cheng Jing, who was standing on the imperial platform, finally spoke: "Yu Qian, Minister of War, has turned the tide and protected the country and was specially appointed as Taiping Hou!"

Being a marquis?

When they heard Cheng Jing say the words of the title of marquis, the civil and military ministers inside and outside Fengtian Hall opened their mouths and were shocked.

You should know that so far, only the former Minister of War Wang Ji, civil servants in charge of military affairs, were awarded titles. Many people think that there is no one coming later. As a result, the second civil servants appeared in the Ming Dynasty and were directly awarded titles!

If this matter becomes a routine, then the honors and relatives will no longer be exclusive to military generals in the future. I am afraid that the situation of civil and nobles and military officials will become a foregone conclusion!

However, many officials recalled it carefully and felt a bit reasonable and expected. After all, Shi Heng and Yang Hong were both named marquis by relying on this battle of guarding the capital, so it is not surprising that Commander Yu Qian was appointed as marquis!

But what people never expected was that Yu Qian stood up and refused at this moment, "There are many builds in all suburbs, which is a shame for the officials. Now, if you don't have an alliance under the city, what's the point?"

The translation of this sentence means that there are fortress defenses everywhere in the suburbs, which is a shame for the nobles and officials. Now that they have only made no signing of the city alliance, what is the contribution?

"Yu Aiqing, this..."

Faced with Qian's rebuttal, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu subconsciously wanted to persuade him.

However, as soon as he spoke, Yu Qian interrupted: "I feel ashamed of accepting it. Besides, the civil servants cannot abuse their titles. I hope Your Majesty will take them back!"

In addition to the crisis that Yu Qian believed in the Nine-Border Crisis, which was a shame for scholars and officials, he also saw with great vision and insight, the disadvantages brought about by civil servants. Now the eunuchs and honors in the court have almost no leaders, and the new high-ranking people such as Shi Heng are far from qualified and prestige. Not to mention that in the hearts of the ministers, they believe that their title was the result of being won by the emperor.

If the civil servant title is enacted and the court power structure will be completely broken, it will not be a blessing for the country in the future!

Yu Qian has never been a selfish person. He would rather give up the title than start a disaster.

Faced with Qian's firm rejection, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu instantly understood what the other party meant, so he nodded and stopped forcing.

He turned to the words and said, "Since the Grand Sima refused to be granted the title of marquis, then I will grant you the title of the Young Guardian of the Ming Dynasty and the Governor of the World Military Affairs."
