Chapter 1394: Promotion at the Speed of Light
In the Manna Hall, several prime ministers were sitting in rows.
His Majesty the Emperor took a slow sip of tea, looked at everyone, and said softly: "All the ministers have seen the letter sent from the north. The Huai'an army has made such a great contribution and must be rewarded."
He looked at Zhao Changping and said with a smile: "No matter what, Prime Minister Zhao will squeeze some money out of me and send it to the north. I will reward the entire Huai'an army."
Rewarding the armed forces is a necessary political activity that must be carried out.
This is also the best opportunity for the court to win over the Huai'an soldiers. It can even be said to be the only opportunity.
If the imperial court doesn't reward this kind of incredible contribution, should Shen Yi do it himself?
If Shen is really asked to reward the army, then is this Huai'an army's surname Li or Shen?
Although the question of what the surname is is no longer clear, the court must reward the Huai'an army generously now. How much money can be squeezed out will be spent.
Zhao Changping raised his head and looked at the emperor. He also knew the necessity of this matter, so he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. After receiving the merit report from the front line, the Ministry of Revenue will immediately discuss the reward with the Ministry of War."
"In this way, the north will actually become a country within a country. More than ten years later, the Huai'an Army will have enough foundation..."
This matter is very sensitive.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at everyone and said slowly: "If Shen Yi really has any disobedience, he should delay it again and again. If he delays it in the north for more than ten or twenty years, the Huai'an army will always be stationed in the north, and the court will also If he is forced to continue to provide them with money and food, even in the northern provinces, he can continue to be restrained."
Prime Minister Cui Yu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Yandu City is the old capital of my great Chen. It has been run by the puppet dynasty for more than seventy years. Now it must be rich in wealth. Since Marquis Shen has occupied Yandu, can he send An envoy will go over and use Yandu’s property to reward the three armies first?”
"Previously, when I was in Shandong, I had an appointment with Shen Qing. Shen Qing told me privately that the war in the north required stability due to money and food issues."
He looked at the several prime ministers and said in a low voice: "Now, the Huai'an army has taken Yandu as quickly as possible. Shen Yi also said in the report that the court should send officials there as soon as possible, which shows his sincerity."
Emperor Hong De looked at Yue Qian, then at Cui Yu, lowered his head to drink tea, and then said calmly: "I can more or less guess what you are thinking about now. It is just worried that Shen Yi will take credit for himself, or support his troops. He respects himself, claims the throne in the north, and has a disobedient heart."
All matters on the front line must be decided by Lord Shen. After all, at this juncture, the court cannot cause any trouble with Shen Yi because of money matters.
"At this time, the documents from the front reporting the seizures have not yet been handed over. Our court does not know how much property Yandu can still seize. I think it is not appropriate to take Yandu's property into consideration when discussing matters."
As soon as he said this, almost everyone looked at him.
He paused and continued: "At least, we have to wait until the Huai'an Army's detailed report is sent before we can consider it."
Now, no matter how much money or property there actually is in Yandu, it does not exist for the Jiankang court. Only when Shen Yi reports it, the property written by Shen Yi in the document can be controlled by the Chen court.
"It's only been three months, and Yandu has already recovered."
"Shen Yi is a man of great merit to this dynasty. Since he treats the court and me with sincerity, then both I and the court should treat him with sincerity."
In fact, Xianggong Yue's words were not for Shen Yi, but because Cui Yu's mindless speech blocked His Majesty the Emperor. Xianggong Yue was building a slope for His Majesty the Emperor to get off the donkey.
Because Shen Yi hasn't sent up the list of seizures yet.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly and said nothing.
At this point, the emperor stopped talking.
Before His Majesty the Emperor could speak, Prime Minister Yue Qian on the side spoke: "Prime Minister Cui may have been too busy during this period and did not have time to read the report from the front line. The Huai'an Army reported a few months ago that Zhu Lizhenren fled the customs in large numbers, and The things that have been transported in large trucks for several months have been transported out of the customs to the so-called Shengjing outside the customs. Now in Yandu, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they may be emptied by these bandits."
"He told me that he expected to capture Yandu City next year or the year after that, and then completely restore the north. How many months has it passed now?"
His Majesty the Emperor put down the tea, looked at the prime ministers, and said calmly: "Today, I will make it clear to you."
"What the court should do should be done well."
"And then there's that."
Emperor Hongde coughed, looked at several prime ministers, and said solemnly: "Don't be smart and try to do some small tricks to test the Huai'an army and Shen Yi. If I find out, I will never spare you."
As His Majesty the Emperor, it is not very serious to say such words, but it is very serious to say such words to several prime ministers.
You know, Emperor Hongde has always had a good temper, and he is usually very polite to these old ministers.
When the five prime ministers heard this, they immediately stood up and bowed their heads respectfully: "I obey your orders."
The emperor nodded, looked at Chen Jing, and said: "The reward for Shen Yi will be as planned before. The governor of Northern Zhili and the Taibao. As for the title..."
The emperor rubbed his brows in distress, shook his head and said: "The ancestors have established the law first, so I won't grant you a title first, and we will discuss it later."
"Officials in the north must be sent out as soon as possible to organize households and people, and truly take back the country." Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor glanced at several prime ministers and said calmly: "I have said something ugly in front of you, send The officials who go to the north should keep their hands and feet clean to me. If they go to the north to do whatever they want during this time of trying to win people's hearts, I will not be as merciful as before."
"My Hong De Dynasty is not incapable of creating a big prison."
These words sent shivers down the spines of the five prime ministers.
They all knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and kowtowed: "I obey your orders."
The emperor just said "hmm", stood up directly, stretched and said: "I'm tired, please come back."
Several prime ministers got up and left the Manna Hall one after another.
Zhao Changping walked at the back of the team, lowering his head and thinking about something. As he walked, he unconsciously passed a prime minister. Zhao Xianggong turned his head and glanced, and found Chen Jing, standing there waiting.
Mr. Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Chen?"
"It's nothing, I just want to chat with Brother Changping for a few words."
Prime Minister Zhao looked calm: "I would like to listen to Prime Minister Chen's teachings."
Mr. Chen shook his head, stepped forward and pulled Zhao Changping's sleeve, and said, "Brother Changping, what do you think of Shen Yi?"
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "In my opinion, Marquis Shen is naturally loyal to the country and is the pillar of Da Chen."
Chen Xiang was silent for a while and sighed silently.
"I hope so."
Prime Minister Zhao's eyes became sharp: "Prime Minister Chen, your Majesty just told you not to do this..."
"What can I do?"
Chen Jing turned back to look at Mr. Zhao and said softly: "Brother Changping hasn't noticed yet? Your Majesty has given up using any means against Lord Shen."
"Didn't even try..."
At this point, Chen Jing stopped abruptly and did not continue. He put his hands behind his back and walked away silently.
Emperor Hongde was a very capable emperor. Since he came to power, he had almost taken over all the affairs of the court with ease. He was definitely an excellent emperor.
A good emperor would often abandon emotions and only consider interests when doing things.
But now, Emperor Hongde only expressed his sincerity to Shen Yi and no longer considered using any means.
This incidates that…
Mr. Zhao silently looked to the north and seriously thought about the current situation in the north.
After a long while, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards Hube, feeling completely relieved.
Brat, you are so awesome...
………………
In the evening of that day, two eunuchs in purple clothes from the palace came to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion with His Majesty's imperial edict.
All the people in the Hou Mansion knelt down to greet the imperial decree with incense tables placed.
The eunuch who announced the edict opened the edict and sang loudly.
"The Marquis of Jing'an, Prince Shen Yuan, is intelligent and diligent, and has won my heart very much. I confer him the title of Jiayi Doctor. I appreciate this."
After reciting the edict, the face of the eunuch who announced the edict was immediately filled with smiles. He respectfully handed the edict to Lu Ruoxi's hand, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam."
After saying that, he cupped his hands to Shen Yuan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the young marquis, congratulations to the young marquis."
After Mrs. Shen stood up to thank her, she looked at the imperial edict in her hand. She was still a little confused and asked subconsciously: "Eunuch, who is this Dr. Jiayi..."
Before the eunuch could answer, Shen Heng, who was standing next to Lu Ruoxi, murmured.
"Third grade..."
"Genuine third grade."
