Chapter 200 On the Rewards for Deeds
In the early years of Chongzhen, nobility was the same as before, and there were very few titles, which were enviable.Unlike the last years of Chongzhen, or the Nanming period, at that time, as long as they had some military power in their hands, they basically had titles, just like in later generations, when a brick is thrown on the street, it is almost as common as managers.

When many generals saw that Man Gui had received the title from Uncle Zhongyong, their minds moved. They also knew that there was no other possibility for a general to be a knight except for military merit!

But after weighing it in his heart, he found that unless His Majesty made great contributions when his majesty personally conquered Liaodong, there was little hope of being knighted.And this seemed to be an impossible task, so I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated!In this way, he envied Man Gui even more.

At this time, Man Gui was rewarded.Wang Dehua held another imperial decree from the front of the imperial court, walked forward a few steps, and shouted sharply: "Zu Dashou came out to receive the decree!"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he immediately became nervous and a little apprehensive. After all, he had done something wrong.But it was useless to think about anything at this time, so I had to go out and kneel down to receive the order.

"...Zu Dashou fled before the battle, he should have been severely punished..."

Hearing that the imperial decree defines him as running away, which is a serious crime for a general, and Zu Dashou felt a "thump" in his heart. Could it be that the emperor wants to settle the score after Qiu Hou?All of a sudden, he suddenly became nervous. Could it be that Mr. Sun Ge was lying to himself, and he just comforted and stabilized himself before?
However, Ma Shilong was very happy to hear that, and let you be in the front row. It would be best if the emperor could settle the score later, and then the Guan Ning army lost you. In this way, the court will have to use itself.

However, there was a turning point in Wang Dehua's ups and downs, and he read out: "But this move was in line with my intentions, and I lured Jianlu to attack the capital, but it did not cause serious consequences. And Zu Dashou did not disappoint me again, knowing that He was ashamed and then brave, and made great achievements in Changli. He also cared about the people, and sent troops to rescue the people in Yongping in time. I am very relieved..."

Hearing this, it was Ma Shilong's turn to "thump" in his heart.From the imperial decree, it seems that in the eyes of the emperor, among Zu Dashou's contribution, the contribution of rescuing the people in Yongping is more than the contribution of the Battle of Changli!Doesn't that mean that I missed an opportunity to make great contributions?Or if I didn't do that, would it disappoint the emperor?
"I keep my word. I can avoid the crime of running away that day. I am specially transferred to the post of the governor of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, and also serve as the chief instructor of the Beijing Teacher's Senior Lecture Hall. I appreciate it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.Immediately, many people gloated, especially Ma Shilong, who was secretly happy!
There is no other reason. Although Zu Dashou was promoted from a second-rank general to a first-rank general, he was the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong vanguard before, and he was a person with real power to lead the army.Now he has become the commander-in-chief of the five-army governor's mansion, and his rank has been promoted, but he is a Qingshui yamen with no real power anymore.This is the rise of the bright and the dark, and there will be no more credit to be made in the future, and the journey of a general will come to an end.

Of course, there are also people who are stunned when they hear the head teacher of the Beijing Master's Advanced Lecture Hall. They don't know what the hell it is, have they never heard of it?
As for Zu Dashou himself, he was stunned for a while, he instinctively wanted to refuse, wanted to say that he was guilty, and dared not accept the credit.After all, without real power, not only is there no merit to be established, but it is also very detrimental to the family.

Just as he was about to say his resignation, he suddenly recalled the scene of Sun Chengzong's urging: "The emperor is different now, so don't have any other thoughts, remember to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!"

Could it be that elder Ge knew what was going on today, and he was afraid of what he would do, so he warned him in advance?But this ups and downs, do you just admit it?

Although he was really unwilling to lose real power from then on, with Sun Chengzong's repeated warnings, and at this time he was already in the Golden Temple and could not do other things, it seemed impossible to make the emperor change his mind only by verbal excuses.Thinking of this, Zu Dashou had no choice but to admit it, and Shan Hu Long live accepted the decree.

During this period, he didn't even think about what the hell is the chief teacher of the capital's advanced martial arts hall?Because I had never heard of this thing before, maybe it was just someone who casually added an official title to comfort him.

Hu Guang was also secretly observing Zu Dashou. He keenly saw Zu Dashou's hesitation, but in the end Zu Dashou still accepted the order without saying anything, and let him nod his head. He who knows the current affairs is a hero!

After Zu Dashou returned to the queue, Wang Dehua screamed again: "Lu Xiangsheng came out to receive the order!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on the queue of civil servants. At this time, their eyes rarely showed jealousy, and most of them were filled with admiration.After all, he was just a civil servant, but he led the army to fight and fight Jianlu without losing the wind.It can even be said that Lu Xiangsheng made the first contribution to the annihilation of the entire Jianlu army in the Battle of Changli.

"... Lu Xiang was specially promoted to the censor of Zuodu, the governor of Denglai, and the rest of the king's army under his command was reorganized into a guard battalion. The list of positions was submitted to the Ministry of War, hereby!"

When the civil and military officials heard it, they couldn't help being surprised.From the magistrate to the frontier official, he surpassed the provincial three divisions, and he was the governor of Zuodu censor, which is a very high level.It seems that Lu Xiangsheng is a celebrity in His Majesty's eyes.

Another point is that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, is different. The emperor specially ordered the reorganization of the remaining King Qin army into a guard battalion. They all have official titles and can be regarded as a gift.

After Lu Xiangsheng thanked En and returned to the queue, He Kegang was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, taking over the vacancy left by Zu Dashou's transfer.

This made Ma Shilong stunned. Speaking of which, he is the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, and it is the most likely thing to be transferred to be the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. Why did He Kegang take over?Faintly, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

If it was changed before, there should be civil servants who would come out to speak for him at this time, such as the former chief assistant Han Yu, or Cao Yubian, the censor of the left capital.Even if they don't come out to speak, there will always be someone who can come out from the censor who is standing in the front.

But now, due to various reasons, those allies of the DPRK and China are either at home, beheaded for public display, or imprisoned for crimes.Even Sun Juxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Governor Cangchang, who is currently fine, was sent to Tongzhou to check the grain.I didn't think it was anything before, but when I saw it now, Ma Shilong suddenly felt that this was too much of a coincidence?
It should be a coincidence, but to be honest, Zu Dashou was promoted, and his deputy took over the position, which seems to make sense.Ma Shilong stood in the crowd, lowered his head and frowned to explain himself.

At this time, under the leadership of Jin Yiwei, the lower-level officers of King Qin's army drove into the city in groups, and came to Tiananmen Square along the street.
