Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

Chapter 263 On rewards for meritorious deeds, he will never treat any loyal courtier who worked for

On the day of the late emperor's funeral, the rainy days finally stopped.

The sky shrouded in dark clouds also cleared up, and the sun shone on the capital, as if sprinkled with a layer of golden color.

According to the last edict of the first emperor, Li Changshou did not change it, and buried Emperor Qianming in the imperial mausoleum.

At the same time, the coffin of Empress Qi was removed from the imperial mausoleum by someone ordered by him, and all the officials in the court had proposed to destroy Empress Qi's coffin, but in the end Li Changshou still waived.

Let the Qi family arrange the burial by themselves, and because of this, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty worship him.

Such a benevolent and righteous king is a great fortune!
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will leave for Ganye Temple tomorrow, do you need to make arrangements in advance?"

On this day, the prime minister did not forget to remind the empress dowager to leave the palace, obviously he was asking, but he was actually hinting.

"That's right, Your Majesty. Although the Empress Dowager became a nun to pray for the great officials, she is the Empress Dowager after all. The officials at Ganye Temple still suggest sending more people to protect the Empress Dowager."

Another minister stood up to play, anyway, their purpose is very simple.

Absolutely do not give the imperial concubine, who is now the queen mother Zhou Huier, the hope of turning over.

Only by sending them away as soon as possible can you feel at ease.

"Prime Minister Zhang, are you trying to force His Majesty to send the Empress Dowager away from the palace as soon as possible? Now that the late Emperor has only been buried for a few days, Your Majesty only has the Empress Dowager as her relative. Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

The former concubine's party also jumped out to oppose it.

Although they were loyal to Li Changshou, they also took a lot of benefits from the Demon Sect secretly.

The two factions started to quarrel again. Li Changshou watched all this with a blank face. He understood why the emperor had been a wise emperor for more than ten years, and then gradually began to indulge, and eventually he gradually didn't even want to go to court.

Just this group of people in front of him, quarreling every day, fighting every day, a day or two is enough, his head will grow big after this time.

Emperor, it's really not that easy to be an emperor.

"My lords, tomorrow I will personally send my mother to Ganye Temple."

Li Changshou stopped this meaningless quarrel.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The prime minister smiled. He didn't care about angering Li Changshou because of this matter. As the elder of the four dynasties, he should have been disarmed and returned to the farmland to take care of his life. Now if the court doesn't need him, he is happy to go home to be clean.

Of course, the prime minister still felt that Li Changshou was the prime minister of a wise monarch.

wise?

Li Changshou didn't think he was so wise, he didn't even think he was made to be an emperor.

He is just an ordinary person, and he got to where he is today entirely by relying on the system to be hacked.

Just like that, he was still bored and tired, and his mind was all about throwing his hands away as soon as possible and returning to the harem wine pool and meat forest.

Of course, before that, there must be rewards for meritorious deeds.

"Zuo Zhixiong listens to the order!"

"The end is here!"

"Secret Zuo Zhixiong as the commander of the imperial army, the upper guard, and the general of Huaihua!"

Eunuch Cao held the imperial decree in his hand, and all the civil and military officials in the hall knew that those who followed Li Changshou Jiangdong to raise troops back to the side of King Qing in Beijing this time would be prosperous.

Zuo Zhixiong, as the commander-in-chief of Jiang Dongqin Wang's division, naturally bears the brunt of it at this moment.

"Thank you Lord Long En!"

Zuo Zhixiong was full of excitement. He cared more about honor, recognition and respect than official position.

Of course, this canonization can definitely be regarded as grand, making him an important minister in the court, and the official worship is the third rank!
Wearing a purple robe!Wear gold and jade belts!
"Gu Fan listens to the order!"

"Chen is here!"

No one thought that it would be Gu Fan's turn to be the second recipient of the reward. Even though he was the emperor's personal guard, the envoy of the imperial city, he was the first to follow Li Changshou, but there was more than one person with a higher status than him.

But no one dared to question it, after all everyone knew about Gu Fan's contribution.

"Confess Gu Fan as Minister of Dali Temple, Assistant State General! Confer as Duke!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the entire hall showed a look of astonishment, even the old Prime Minister Zhang showed a hint of confusion and doubts, let alone other people?
No, even Gu Fan himself didn't expect it, and he was completely stunned when he heard the reward for him.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

After Gu Fan was stunned for a moment, he was about to say no, and all the civil and military officials in the court looked at him. Wouldn't such a preference for him make him be pointed at in the court in the future?
Especially the people from Jiangdong will return to Beijing soon, and when Li Changshou canonize the queen and concubine, how should others treat him?
"Master Gu, why don't you take the order and thank you soon?!"

Eunuch Cao hurriedly coughed to remind him. To be honest, even he was surprised that Li Changshou valued Gu Fan so much. Of course, Eunuch Cao also knew some secrets. Is it too much to love Wu and Wu secretly?
We must know that Zuo Zhixiong's award-winning official worships the third rank, and he wears a purple robe and gold jade belt.

"Gu Qing, is it possible that I am dissatisfied with your reward for being too little?"

Li Changshou asked with a smile. He knew that other people in the court must be surprised, and they would also secretly guess. After all, it is enough to be named a Dali Temple Minister, and that is already an important minister from the third rank.

But it was not enough in his eyes. If it wasn't for being unable to recognize relatives, it wouldn't be too much for him to directly confer the title of a genuine first-rank prince.

Now that the reward is only so small, it is appropriate for Gu Fan to be in charge of Dali Temple with Gu Fan's ability, but the original Dali Temple Minister is a waste supported by a noble concubine, how can he use it?

That's why another duke of the country was awarded, and a military official was added to assist the country's general.

Just like this, he still felt a little owed, thinking about whether to add Kaifu Yitong Sansi...

"I don't dare, it's just that I feel that His Majesty rewards me too much!"

Gu Fan quickly explained, this is not enough?
It was almost unbearable for him. Originally, he was only a fifth-rank official, but now he suddenly became a third-rank Dali Temple Minister. How big is this leap?
In addition, a title and a military official were added, one from the first rank and one from the second rank. Looking at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, I don't know how many people's eyes are red with envy and jealousy.

"Once I opened my golden mouth, there is no reason to take it back!"

Li Changshou didn't care, he felt that his elder son was underrepresented. It was not too much to be a crown prince, but now he is only a first-rank Duke.

"My minister... accept the decree to thank you!"

Gu Fan bit the bullet and accepted the order. He didn't have much pursuit of high officials and rich salary, but Li Changshou's award still moved him.

He knew it was not only because of his mother, but also because of the special regard for him.

It's not that Gu Fan doesn't understand the so-called scholar who dies for his confidant.

"Ling Wei listens to the order!"

Eunuch Cao continued to proclaim the decree. There are quite a few people who will be rewarded for meritorious deeds this time. Of course, most of them will be promoted to half rank at most, plus some gold, silver and jewelry, but a few of them will really soar.

"The end is here!"

Ling Wei was also in the main hall. Compared to Gu Fan, Ling Wei was still a little immature, even though he was older in terms of age, but he was obviously not so calm.

"Forgive the whole Huo family, Ling Wei can restore the Huo surname!"

"Confess Huo Wei as the commanding general of the Imperial Forest Army and captain of Qingche!"

The officials in the main hall were once again in an uproar. They did not expect that the new king Li Changshou would be awarded such a grand reward after he ascended the throne. The key point is that many people did not know Ling Wei's background, and now they are publicly declaring the pardon of the Huo family in the court hall.

He also avenged Huo Jia's injustice, allowed Ling Wei to restore Huo's surname, and added the title of general of the Imperial Forest Army, which is tantamount to the mighty grace of the emperor!
Many ministers couldn't help being envious of the speed at which he became a general of the third-rank Imperial Forest Army.

But after learning that Ling Wei was from the Huo family, he was instantly relieved.

Obviously this is to compensate the entire Huo family back then, and who knows the brilliant achievements of Ling Wei's leadership this time?
"Sir, take the lead!"

Ling Wei, or Huo Wei couldn't contain the excitement on his face, he had been waiting 20 years for this day!
When he was only five years old, he witnessed the death of his whole family, and now he has finally rehabilitated the Huo family!

"Guan Peng listens to the order!"

……

"Fang Chen listens to the order!"

……

For a whole hour, none of the meritorious ministers Li Changshou was left behind, including Fang Chen, who was cheap and good, and all of them got the title of viscount on the fifth rank.

As for the others, Li Changshou basically didn't put much thought into it, and they were rewarded according to the usual practice.

"Your Majesty, the rebellious minister Guo Peng has not been whereabouts so far. I am worried that something will happen if he has fled back to the jurisdiction. I hope your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible!"

The Imperial City Secretary was originally the eyes and ears of the emperor, and now Guan Peng has been promoted to be the Imperial City Secretary, in charge of all the horses.

At the right time, he directly showed up to bring up the case of Guo Peng's treason again, which also made all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but shudder.

The old Prime Minister Zhang also said, "The old minister also thinks that we should send someone to take back the post of Shannan Jiedu envoy as soon as possible. When Guo Peng entered Beijing this time, he still kept tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Once..."

Before the words fell, suddenly there was an urgent report from outside.

"Report!"

"The rebellious minister Guo Peng declared to the world that he would avenge the deposed emperor Li Cheng, and raised a hundred thousand soldiers!"

No one expected that as soon as Guo Peng was mentioned, there would be an urgent report.

And it was the scene that the officials didn't want to see the most. Guo Peng escaped back and collected the rest of the soldiers. He claimed to be an army of [-] people, and made a huge rebellion!
For this result, everyone showed a dignified look.

Only Li Changshou remained expressionless. This Jiedu Envoy was a hidden danger planted by the previous emperors of the Dagan Dynasty. His power was too great to be restrained at all.

With military power, even personnel appointments and finances are in his hands, which is even worse than that of the previous vassal kings.

There is even more than one military town under the jurisdiction of Jiedushi. Once there is a rebellious heart, now is the best example.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion!"

Ling Wei, who had just recovered his surname, took the initiative to ask for Ying. To him, with the blood of the Huo family on his body, how could he be able to stay?
Moreover, it also involved the blood feud of the whole Huo family back then. No one wanted to kill Guo Peng more than him. It was a pity that Guo Peng escaped, but now he finally had a chance.

"Huo Wei listens to the order!"

What Li Changshou was waiting for was that he took the initiative to invite Ying. Looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, there were not many who were capable of leading troops to fight, even Gu Fan was not suitable.

Only Ling Wei, who is now Huo Wei, is a natural handsome talent.

"I order you to lead [-] soldiers and bring Guo Peng's head back to me!"

"The commander's decree!"

……

The Empress Dowager's bedroom, Li Changshou came here directly after he came down to court.

Then waved back a group of people, not even Eunuch Cao, but let him wait outside.

"My son, please greet the queen mother."

He came here for only one purpose, and Zhou Huier, the former empress dowager who was once a noble concubine, obviously heard the news, her eyes flickered slightly and she sighed quietly, "Your Majesty has anything to say, just say it."

"Mother's queen, Guo Peng raised one hundred thousand troops, and turned against her."

Li Changshou looked at the flawless and beautiful face of the Queen Mother, and smiled wryly, "The Secretary of the Imperial City has also verified that Guo Peng is secretly supported by people from the Demon Sect."

Regarding this result, Zhou Hui'er couldn't put on airs like the queen mother at all, and couldn't help asking: "What should I do to make up for it? As long as Shou'er mentions it, I can agree!"

Li Changshou didn't speak directly, but grabbed the queen mother's catkin and held it in the palm of his hand seriously.

"I hope that the queen mother can agree to a rude request from my son!"
