When Liu Weichao heard the question, he immediately replied: "And, just to take advantage of this military power..."
Emperor Chongzhen listened attentively, asking questions or nodding from time to time, and discussed with Liu Weichao.
After a long time, seeing that Liu Weichao had no more questions, he remembered something and said to Liu Weichao quickly: "Ah, I forgot. I summoned the six cabinet departments and the Supervisor of Ceremonies to discuss the matter. If everything is okay, I will
Dead?"
"..." When Liu Weichao heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.
He didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would come to tell him the good news when he was holding an imperial meeting, and then he didn't know it, so he chatted with him for most of the day.
Thinking of this, and thinking that he actually made those senior Ming officials wait obediently, he couldn't help but laugh, and without further delay, he cut off the contact.
After hanging up the video communication, Emperor Chongzhen did not immediately return to the front hall, but thought about Liu Weichao's suggestion again before returning to the front hall.
After waiting for at least half an hour, if they can complain, these people in the Wenhua Palace will definitely complain. But who makes them ministers, and it is the emperor who is showing off to them!
Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen returned to the front hall, no one showed any signs of impatience.
Emperor Chongzhen did not look embarrassed. After sitting back on the throne, he smiled and asked them: "I see that all the ministers are no longer discussing, but what is the result?"
That's right, they had already finished their discussion and had reached the point where they had nothing to say and could only wait quietly for Emperor Chongzhen to turn around.
At this time, after hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Chief Assistant He Fengsheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have discussed that this great victory is not ordinary, so they will all be judged according to the higher level of military merit. Specific regulations
, we can’t worry about it until the final battle report comes out!”
Wang Chengen waited for him to finish speaking, and then said first: "Long live my Lord, for such a great victory, there must be a big prisoner presentation ceremony!"
He is the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, commonly known as the internal minister, and naturally he has the highest say.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "It's accurate!"
After a pause, he remembered something, and then explained: "By the way, that Aixinjueluo...what...Abatai, that's right, that's the man, the Jianlu coach, we must not let him die!"
The name Aixinjueluo Abatai is probably more famous than Huang Taiji at this time. I don’t know if he will be very happy if he knows about it!
When Wang Chengen heard this, he quickly agreed and said that he would immediately send someone from the West Factory to take care of it when he came back.
Seeing that they didn't say anything else, Emperor Chongzhen looked serious and said: "This great victory is due to the contributions of several beloved ministers. I have made it clear that there is no need for a final battle report, so I will award the reward in advance..."
When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately bowed to listen.
The first decree was that Jie Xuelong, who had promptly assisted in the defense of Jizhou, was appointed governor of Jiliao and rectified the military affairs of Guanning. Marquis Zhongzhen assisted in the defense of Shanhaiguan and temporarily took charge of the post of general soldier of Shanhaiguan.
Ma Xianglin is a chieftain and cannot stay away for a long time. Since Qin Liangyu wants to be in Shanhaiguan, Ma Xianglin will go back to Sichuan.
As soon as everyone heard this, they understood that Emperor Chongzhen was taking action against Guan Ning's army. Although Emperor Chongzhen did not say how to deal with the original Guan Ning's army, those present were all people who had been in the officialdom for many years. Knowing that Wu Sangui led the army, they were afraid that
There is no way he can go back. Moreover, this great victory can also shock him and he will not change.
To be honest, everyone can basically see what Guan Ningjun did and how he carried the captives with self-respect. In the past, there was nothing that could be done about it, but now, with the Jingying Camp and the Yongwei Camp, Emperor Chongzhen’s approach, they
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
After understanding this, those present couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen for solving another problem with the help of the great victory and defeat.
However, most of them thought that this did not seem to be the method of Emperor Chongzhen. However, if it was said that this was the instruction of Emperor Taizu, it would be perfectly normal.
Thinking like this, naturally none of them had any objections. They all agreed in unison, flattering Emperor Chongzhen and talking about being wise and powerful, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel very proud.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen made his second decree. To the surprise of those present, this decree was related to one of the people present.
Du Yinxi made meritorious service in military training and was granted the title of Governor of the Three Borders. He went to Qin to take up his post and integrated all the Qin armies. Firstly, he wanted to train a strong army and secondly, he wanted to quell the unrest in Qin.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not ask Du Yinxi to do these things alone. Instead, he would select Qin soldiers from the army of this great victory, gather a thousand people, distribute all the equipment, and take them to Qin as direct subordinates.
The army was in order to frighten the soldiers in Qin.
In addition, there is another one, which is the food and salary needed for Qin's army and peace.
Regarding these, Emperor Chongzhen also directly issued an edict. The implementation of Sun Chuanting's Qingtun recharge system, which had been issued before, was difficult to implement locally. However, if Du Yinxi, a close confidant of the emperor and the governor of the three sides, implemented it, the resistance would be there.
Very few.
Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen also delegated power and gave him the right to kill first and report later. If something was inconvenient, Emperor Chongzhen also asked Wang Chengen to send people from Xichang to follow him to cooperate with Du Yinxi.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also pointed out to Du Yinxi that if there is still a shortage of supplies, you are welcome and go to the grassland to have a look.
The Mongolian tribes not only surrendered to the Jianlu, but also followed the Jianlu into the pass more than once to plunder, which was disrespectful!
Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's instructions, everyone in the Wenhua Palace could hear the domineering attitude, and looked at him on the throne with a little awe. They felt that Emperor Chongzhen's methods were becoming more and more similar to Emperor Taizu!
Therefore, regarding the errand assigned by Emperor Chongzhen, Du Yinxi immediately said without saying a word that he would definitely live up to Emperor Chongzhen's entrustment and do this well.
In the third decree, Emperor Chongzhen announced that all traitors who laid down their weapons and accepted the call to peace unconditionally would be pardoned. However, Zhang Xianzhong, who rebelled many times, dug up the Yellow River embankment, and Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, who rebelled desperately, were not exempt from the call. They did not accept the call to peace.
Those who insist on resisting the imperial court will be killed by the imperial army without mercy!
If this decree had been changed before, some people might have objected. After all, most of the previous recruitments ended in failure. But now, with the power of great victory, the next recruitment might indeed be effective.
.
Emperor Chongzhen's use of the benefits brought by the victory in the Battle of Jizhou to the extreme was also admired by everyone.
However, it’s not over yet!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the people below, glanced at each of them slowly, and then said to them: "Please follow me, sir, and let me see a few things!"
After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked to the apse.
When everyone in the Wenhua Hall saw it, they were a little curious and didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to show them, so they divided them into two columns according to their official positions: the inner court and the inner court, and followed Emperor Chongzhen.
The place where Emperor Chongzhen and Liu Weichao contacted just now is behind the Wenhua Hall itself. The real back hall of Wenhua Hall is called the Main Jing Hall. The rules are slightly similar to the Wenhua Hall, slightly deeper and slightly shallower, and connected by corridors.
.
The place where Emperor Chongzhen took his ministers to go was the Zhujing Hall. However, he did not go directly to the Zhujing Hall. Instead, he first went to the left and right side halls of the Zhujing Hall, which are called Bunren Hall and Jiyi Hall respectively.
.
He Fengsheng and others followed Emperor Chongzhen. As soon as they entered Bunren Hall, they were a little dumbfounded: What is the purpose of putting this thing in this hall?
What’s even stranger is, why did the emperor bring them to see this?
The maids in the palace stood with their hands down one by one, waiting for the order.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw the expressions of his ministers, although they quickly disappeared, they were all familiar to him, and he felt a little pleased in his heart, so he said to them calmly: "You must know each other, right?"
Even if you haven’t seen it, you should be able to guess it!”
Among these people, only Wang Chengen knew what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do as soon as he saw the things in the palace. Therefore, he responded in a very cooperative manner: "Long live the Lord, all of you must know it, right?"
The first half of the sentence is to answer Emperor Chongzhen, and the second half is to the officials of the foreign court.
He Fengsheng and others looked at each other and wondered what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in his gourd.
They were curious, what does this have to do with the Jizhou victory?
Because judging from the previous decrees of Emperor Chongzhen, they should all be related to the victory of Jizhou!
Thinking like this, they became even more confused. When they heard that Wang Chengen also asked, they all agreed and naturally answered that they knew him.
That's right, most of them are from official families. Even if they have never met them, they still know about them.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard their answers, he immediately smiled and said: "Well, let me open your eyes again!"
After he finished speaking, he told the leading female official: "Show it to all your ministers!"
After hearing this, the female officer quickly agreed, and then called several palace maids in the palace to demonstrate.
He Fengsheng and others were a little confused and disapproving at first.
But since the emperor spoke like this, they looked at it with curiosity.
In the end, it didn't matter if they didn't look at it, but after looking at it, they quickly discovered the problem.
In other words, the situation in front of them shocked them, and they all stared in disbelief with their eyes wide open.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't let them look at it for too long. He just wanted to know what was going on.
Therefore, after a while, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, and the maids immediately retreated to the side and stood with their hands down.
"How is it? What do you think?" Emperor Chongzhen glanced at his ministers and asked calmly.
After hearing his words, the ministers in Bunren Hall came to their senses. But this time, before He Fengsheng could speak, Huang Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, spoke excitedly.
