The news of the recovery of Yunnan was rushed 600 miles to Guangzhou, and then sent north by sea, reaching Beijing almost in the blink of an eye.
The imperial court was full of joy, and the cabinet was no exception.
"In addition to Liu Lin's post as governor of Sichuan, he was appointed governor of Yingtian. The governor of Sichuan was appointed by the chief envoy Ma Gan. Isn't he from Kunming? It just so happens that Sichuan grain supplies Yunnan and helps Yunnan."
The emperor was in a happy mood and said slightly relaxedly.
Ma Ganben was a Sichuan official under the Chief Envoy Department, responsible for collecting money and grain from the eastern Sichuan region.
Later, Zhang Xianzhong destroyed the city, and the governor Chen Shiqi died for his country. The new governor Long Wenguang was still on the way. Ma Gan quickly went south in Dazhou, Kuizhou Prefecture, and welcomed the King of Yu into Sichuan with Wang Yingxiong and other gentry.
Therefore, after Liu Linchang was promoted to governor, he assumed the position of chief envoy.
This is the benefit of taking refuge.
In just six or seven years, he has gone from being a fifth-level official to being a second-level governor. Is this something a normal person can do?
The key point is that he is only a member of the Juren family, which is even more unreasonable.
"As for the governor of Yunnan, how about letting Fan Yiheng, the governor of Guizhou, serve as governor?"
"What your Majesty said is true."
Zhao Shu thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Fan Yiheng was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli Dynasty. He served as the military commander of Yulin and the governor of Ningxia. In the winter of the 16th year of Chongzhen, he was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of War, the deputy censor of the capital, and the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi military affairs. However, the road was blocked and it was not conveyed.
He was from Yibin, Sichuan, and happened to be the second group to greet King Yu after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan.
This is the importance of time.
"General Soldier of Sichuan, do you have any recommendations?"
"Li Dingguo can be transferred." Zhang Shenyan said solemnly:
"Although Sun Kewang has left without a trace, Yunnan has been in his hands for a long time and needs Li Dingguo to come and comfort him like this."
"Only he can conquer those surrendered generals."
Not only Zhao Shu, Yan Chongxin, but also Zhu Yixi also cast a surprised look. This was because of Li Dingguo's status, it was difficult for Li Xia to get the melon fields.
"Yunnan's surrender without a fight just proves that the people's will is what it wants, and Li Dingguo cannot make trouble."
Zhang Shenyan was not afraid of anything and said calmly: "Furthermore, isn't Duke Xuan (Zhu Meng) still here?"
This is true.
Speaking of Zhu Meng and others, we have to mention the four nobles including You Shiwei, Liu Tingjie, Jiang Yu, and Gao Yigong who captured the Hetao and are still cleaning up the remaining troops, Wu Sangui, Li Chengdong, Li Yingren of North Korea, and Zhu Meng, Li Dingguo’s reward issue is over.
Zhu Meng, You Shiwei, and Liu Tingjie were all already Dukes of the country, and naturally received generous gifts ranging from three to two thousand dan in salary and salary.
Gao Yigong was promoted from Xin Taizi to Xin Taibo; Jiang Quan was promoted from Pingyang Bo to Pingyang Marquis; Li Chengdong was granted the title of Wu Longzi; the rest were promoted to more than ten people and more than twenty people were given titles.
The intensity of the war was not high.
But the reward for Wu Sangui was in a dilemma.
In order to win over the tens of thousands of Guan Ning soldiers and reduce resistance, Wu Sangui was granted the title of Jinghou.
Now that someone has entered North Korea and has really made military exploits, he can't be named a Duke of Honor, right?
Headache.
"Military honors cannot be violated."
Zhu Yixi sighed and looked ugly.
"Your Majesty, Fan Yiheng said that Guizhou's land is narrow and the people are poor. The land is like a pole, wide at both ends and thin in the middle, which is extremely detrimental to the management of civil affairs."
"Therefore, the land of Bozhou can be transferred from Sichuan to Guizhou to stabilize the province."
"But-" Zhu Yixi nodded, not caring.
"Since Zhang Huaiyan has surrendered, let's escort his family to the capital!"
The emperor sighed: "I am not a murderous person. There has been enough blood shed in this world..."
In this life, he arrived just in time. After Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he had no time to do anything. There were not many fights and the vitality of Sichuan was preserved.
Death is like a lamp going out, and with the addition of more than 100,000 Western troops, Zhu Yixi had to arrange for the young master to avoid being heartbroken, even if he was just pretending.
Once the matter was dealt with, the remaining matters were handed over to the cabinet.
A few days passed and everything was peaceful.
Suddenly, a galloping horse rode into Xishan and delivered a big message:
King Qin was seriously ill.
When the cabinet heard this, they were all shocked and their faces were moved.
Zhao Shu even trotted all the way into Yuquan Villa.
Just when I saw the emperor, I saw the figure of the Jin Yiwei.
That's right, how could such a thing happen without Jin Yiwei?
"As early as last year, Dongchang said that the King of Qin indulged in sexual activities, and his body and bones were not as good as before. He never thought that he would be in such a situation."
The emperor sighed, his face moved, and hesitation was evident.
"Your Majesty, the Qin vassal is the number one vassal in the world. The slightest move will attract the world's attention."
Seeing the tangled look on his face, Zhao Shu couldn't help but said solemnly: "Zhu Cunji closed his eyes and only stared at the night. The only thing he couldn't let go of was the throne."
"Your Majesty, don't lose people's hearts because of a mere prince."
As we all know, the current emperor was born in the lineage of King Heyang of the Qin Dynasty. Although he has been in the fifth lineage, he still belongs to it in terms of patriarchal clan.
Unfortunately, the emperor did not appreciate his kindness and treated the Qin vassal just like other vassal kings. The title was not allowed to be inherited and replaced.
Originally, the emperor was criticized for not recognizing the previous Qin kings as emperors, and because of this, he was considered mean.
The people of the world are like this, always hoping to make the emperor a saint, perfect and flawless.
We hope that the emperor will be impartial and impartial in dealing with crimes committed by nobles, but we also don't want to see him treat his heroes harshly. It is simply a combination of contradictions.
Now Zhu Cunji has only one last wish, which is to preserve the Duke of Qin. He cannot bear to die and face his ancestors without words.
But obviously, the emperor did not want to break his promise.
"When a person is about to die, his words will inevitably be confused."
Zhu Yixi said calmly: "The Ming Dynasty collapsed and the world was in chaos. This clan also has two or three parts of the responsibility. If we don't make some changes, I'm afraid we will repeat the same mistakes!"
"Your Majesty, Qin Fan is different after all!"
Zhao Shu lowered his head and said sincerely: "To be disrespectful, veteran, although all the kings in the capital are respectful, the one with the closest blood relationship to your majesty is only the King of Qin."
"Your Majesty is so mean to the King of Qin. What do the kings think of him? How do the people treat him?"
"The way of kissing belongs to human relations and is not an exaggeration."
"Furthermore, even if it is given a hereditary inheritance, how many lives can it be passed down?"
The last sentence is a bit heartbreaking, but it is true.
Zhu Yixi fell into deep thought.
The lineage of the King of Qin was plagued by many disasters. Zhu Cunji was now childless. Although his younger brother Zhu Cunmu Ke was eighty-eight in his twenties, he was also weak and had few heirs. It seemed that he would not be able to produce an heir.
Therefore, even if he was given a hereditary title, he would not be able to inherit it for two generations.
"That's it!"
Zhu Yixi sighed: "If I didn't see that I was from the same lineage, how could I allow him? I still remember that day when he lent me a stone of food."
The edict was rushed and reached the capital in almost half a day.
In the palace of the King of Qin, the King of Qin Zhu Cunji, who was pale and coughing, finally waited on the bed for the emperor's imperial edict.
"God's grace is so great -" Zhu Cunji's face turned red after receiving the edict: "I lived a ridiculous life, and I only regretted it before I died. Today I got what I wanted, and I will live up to my ancestors after I die..."
As he spoke, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Zhu Cunji entrusted it to his younger brother, Zhu Cunmu Ke, who was kneeling beside him, and said tremblingly: "Qin, Qin, King Qin, I leave it to you. Don't let down your ancestors..."
Before he finished speaking, his arms were lowered and his breath was gone, but his hands were holding the imperial edict tightly and refused to let go.
