Chapter 23 Two Good News

The city gate had just opened at this time, and soon a sound of horse hooves came from outside the city, with shouts coming closer little by little as the sound approached.

When they arrived at the city gate, the people and soldiers who were queuing to the city gate heard clearly that the northwest had won another battle. These people still remember that the good news came from the northwest more than a month ago. Has it been won again after just over a month?

At this time, the dynasty meeting had just begun. The official family was listening to the Ministry of War about the military situation in the northwest. At this time, the good news outside came. General Manager Li took the memorial and presented it to the official family. At this time, the ministers were also waiting for the official family, so for a moment, there was a silence in the hall.

Suddenly, Emperor Yongxing laughed out loud: "Okay, very good. Duke Li will live up to my hope to break out of 100,000 enemy troops outside Lingzhou City. OK, let's read it to all the ministers."

As General Manager Li began to read the good news, the ministers below also looked different. The civil servant group had a serious face, because the military would gain the upper hand again if the northwest won. It was originally a bit passive because of the incident more than a month ago, but now it is better to come again and make people calm down.

The generals also had different expressions. Of course, the Northwest System was very happy, but the other two systems were not that happy. After all, Long Yan Dayue had already given Yuan Wenshu a title. Could it be that he would have to give up the Northwest System this time?

At this time, Wei Zhongyan, the left deputy chief censor of the Inspectorate, thought of the flaw and then left the rank and said, "I will report to Your Majesty. This great victory in the northwest is a gratifying congratulations. I believe that the first contribution should be General Chen Zhong, Yunhui."

"It was precisely because he fought bravely to stop the plan of the pseudo-major Wang Mian to attack Fuzhou that Lingzhou had enough time to eliminate the enemy, so I thought that General Chen Zhong should be highly rewarded.

"And this victory in the Northwest did not kill a large enemy general. Instead, we lost General Chen Zhong, so I thought we should reward General Chen Zhong very much, and the rest of the generals would do the same."

After hearing this, the Northwest Department's face was not good, especially Liu Wei, the Minister of War, the Duke of Qin, was even more gloomy and terrifying.

The others looked gloating. Wei Zhongyan couldn't see this. This was really a scathing man.

At this time, the Duke of Qin felt even more uncomfortable than eating dead flies. This move was too poisonous. Is it against him? After all, he was a general on his own side, and the others had already left. Others suggested that the government should give a heavy reward. Should his own people object? Isn’t this the hearts of other generals?

But if I agree, the credit for this victory will be wasted on a dead man, but there is no way to finally accept the matter with gritted teeth. At this time, the ministers bowed: "I will discuss it."

"Since that's the case, let's do it according to the wishes of all the ministers. I send an order to General Chen Zhong, Yun, sacrifice his life to serve the country. I feel very relieved. I specially posthumously named Chen Zhong as the Marquis of Zhonglie, and did not surrender to the successors of the generation."

"As for other people, the Ministry of War, to get a charter, I can use seals at that time."

At this moment, another memorial to report victory came. Not only Emperor Yongxing, but also the ministers were very surprised. Hasn’t the northwest been fought? Even the reward was decided, and where would the great victory come from after the imperial edict was given?

At this time, General Manager Li was confused and put the memorial in front of Emperor Yongxing. Emperor Yongxing picked up the memorial and looked very strange. He saw that the civil and military officials in the court were inexplicable, but he didn't dare to say that he could only wait.

Actually, it’s not a fault for Emperor Yongxing. I can only say that this matter is a bit incredible. I encountered it without finding anyone to send food and grass in a big battle. Emperor Yongxing has to admire Yuan Wenshu’s luck. How can it not be strange if he can fight and have good luck?

Looking at the ministers' expressions of your quick words, Emperor Yongxing was very happy, but he was very upset. He just finished the imperial edict of this reward and received another one. So I just didn't think about it. I can't have a headache alone. I have to let you accompany me.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongxing asked General Manager Li to read the memorial. As General Manager Li said, the expressions of the ministers were particularly wonderful. Of course, the Northwest System was full of loss and regaining it, and was so happy that they could hardly control their expressions.

But the expressions of others were very exciting, especially the civil servant group. After all, they just rewarded a dead man with no killing of the enemy general, but they turned around and slapped him in the face. Moreover, the imperial edict is now issued, and the golden mouth cannot be changed once it opens. It is impossible to let others share the credit.

In other words, Yuan Wenshu enjoyed the merits of killing two marquises. Now the civil servant group has a feeling of shooting himself in the foot.

But Emperor Yongxing didn't care about these things, "Tell me, how can Yuan Wenshu reward this time?" At this time, the ministers below stopped talking. First of all, the civil service group was unwilling to speak, after all, it was slapped on the left side. You can't expect others to come over with their right side.

The Duke of Qin was trying to avoid suspicion. After all, he was his man, so he was not suitable to speak, and others were even more reluctant. After all, the stronger the Northwest, wouldn’t they feel more uncomfortable?

Emperor Yongxing saw that he didn't speak and probably understood the thoughts of these people. He spoke, "Okay, since you don't say it, then let me say that General Xuanwei Yuan Wenshu was brave and good at fighting, loyal to the king and the country, and also protected by heaven. I was very relieved. He was the General Yunwei, and was given the title of Zhongjing Bo, and was inherited from the past. He was awarded a mansion, three imperial patrols, and several gold, silver and silk, to boost the camp of the soldiers."

The ministers who heard the imperial edict of Emperor Yongxing were shocked. There were too many, and each item was amazing. First, let me talk about General Yunhui's title as a third-rank.

Secondly, the Guardian Army was a third-rank honor. I won’t say that Zhong Jingbo is equivalent to a fourth-rank honor, but his inheritance is unsuccessful. This means that in addition to the iron certificate of the alchemy book, it is already the same as the founding nobles.

You should know that the title of Fuchang Hou Rongxi is only his own, and the title will be gone if he dies.

The titles of the Great Wei Dynasty were divided into three levels. The first level was the founding nobles. Not to mention the hereditary substitution, there were also iron certificates for alchemy books, and the second level was the inheritance of the title. This type was generally the first level for each generation, and finally the titles of Fuchanghou.

Except for the first type of title, the other two are regarded as free titles, and the title of Yuan Wenshu is no different from the first type except for the iron certificate of the alchemy book.

In fact, Emperor Yongxing had no choice but to do it. If there was no first imperial edict, Yuan Wenshu's contribution would be at most a lifelong marquis. After all, you have to contribute more to the loss of pie.

But this first imperial edict means that all the people before have been rewarded, even if the Ministry of War has not yet presented the list with seals.

So the credit for killing two marquises was exclusively enjoyed by Yuan Wenshu, which was troublesome after all, he killed two marquises. If the reward was lighter, wouldn’t it be a joke?

So after thinking about it, only the hereditary count is the most suitable, but he took a breath and Emperor Yongxing this time was really cheated by his civil servants and ministers.

Originally, when Chen Zhong was enthroned, Emperor Yongxing was very happy to see Duke Qin defeated. After all, no emperor liked a huge military force because he would not have a good sleep, especially when he experienced the late emperor's period.

In desperation, he could only give an earl and let out a sigh of relief on the imperial edict. What is the blessing of the heavenly official? To put it bluntly, it means good luck.

You should know that it is not the time when the founding period, the hereditary titles were not even too late to be recycled. How could they still be given out?
