Chongzhen Chat Group

In the early years of Chongzhen, as before, there were only a few knights who could be envied. Unlike the late Chongzhen period or the Southern Ming Dynasty, at that time, as long as they had some military power, they basically had a title. It was as common as a brick hitting the street in later generations, basically hitting some manager.

Many military generals became interested when they saw that Man Gui had been conferred a title by Uncle Zhongyong. They also knew that there was no other possibility for military generals to be conferred a title other than military merit!

However, after careful consideration, I realized that unless His Majesty made great achievements during his personal expedition to Liaodong, there was little hope of becoming a knight. And this seemed to be an impossible task, and I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated! In this way, I envy Man Gui even more.

At this time, Mangui's reward was completed. Wang Dehua held up another imperial edict from the imperial court, took a few steps forward, and shouted sharply: "Zu Dashou came out to receive the edict!"

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

"...Zu Dashou escaped from the battlefield and should have been severely punished..."

Hearing that the imperial edict defined him as escaping from battle, which was a serious crime for a military general, Zu Dashou's heart clicked. Could it be that the emperor wanted to settle the score with the queen? For a moment, he suddenly became nervous. Could it be that Mr. Sun Ge was also deceiving himself, and was he just trying to comfort and stabilize him before?

Ma Shilong was very happy to hear this, and asked you to be in the front. It would be best if the emperor could settle the accounts after the fall, and then Guan Ningjun would be without you. In this case, the court would have to use himself.

However, there was an immediate twist in Wang Dehua's melodious voice. He read out: "However, this move coincided with my intention, and it did not cause serious consequences. Zu Dashou has never failed to live up to my will again. I know He was shameful and then brave, and contributed to the great victory of Changli. He also cared about the people and sent troops to rescue the people in Yongping in time. I am very relieved..."

When he heard this, it was Ma Shilong's turn to feel a thump in his heart. From the imperial edict, it seems that in the eyes of the emperor, Zu Dashou's contribution to rescuing the people in Yongping is even higher than the contribution to the battle of Changli! Doesn't that mean that I missed an opportunity to make a great contribution? Or would the emperor be disappointed if he didn't do that?

"I am true to my word. I will be exempted from the crime of escaping from the battle that day. I have been specially transferred to the post of Governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, and concurrently served as the chief instructor of the Capital Advanced Martial Arts Lecture Hall. I appreciate this!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Immediately, many people gloated about the misfortune, especially Ma Shilong, who was secretly happy!

There is no other reason. Although Zu Dashou was promoted from a second-grade military general to a first-grade military general, he was previously the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong forward, and he had the real power to lead troops when he was appointed as the general of the Liaodong forward. Now he has become the Commander-in-Chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. His rank has been upgraded, but he is still a Qingshui Yamen and has no real power. This is an upright rise and a covert fall. There will be no more achievements to be made in the future, and the road to becoming a general will come to an end.

Of course, there are also people who were stunned when they heard that the chief instructor of the Beijing Senior Lecture Hall taught this. They didn’t know what the hell this was. They had never heard of it?

As for Zu Dashou himself, he was stunned for a moment. He instinctively wanted to refuse, saying that he was guilty and did not dare to accept the credit. After all, without real power, not only will there be no merit, but it will also be very detrimental to the family.

Just as he was about to decline, he suddenly remembered what Sun Chengzong had repeatedly warned him: "Your Majesty, things are different now. You must not have other thoughts. Remember to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!"

Could it be that Mr. Ge knew what was going to happen today and was afraid that he might do something, so he warned him in advance? But this rises and falls secretly, does he just accept it?

Although he was really unwilling to lose real power from now on, with Sun Chengzong's repeated warnings, and at this time he was already in the Jinluan Palace and could not do anything else. It seemed impossible to make the emperor change his mind by just relying on verbal excuses. Thinking like this, Zu Dashou had no choice but to admit it and accept the order with a long live Shanhu.

During this period, he didn't even think about who the chief instructor of the Capital Advanced Martial Arts Hall was? Because I have never heard of this thing at all, maybe it was just a random official title added to comfort him.

Hu Guang was also secretly observing Zu Dashou. He keenly saw Zu Dashou's hesitation, but in the end Zu Dashou accepted the order without saying anything, which made him nod. Those who know the current affairs are heroes!

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, but most of them showed admiration. After all, he was just a civil servant, but he led the army to fight and fought in the field with Jianlu without losing. It can even be said that the battle of Changli could wipe out the entire Jianlu army, and Lu Xiangsheng was the first to do so.

"... Lu Xiang was specially promoted to the title of censor of Zuodu and governor of Denglai. The remaining Qinwang army under his command was reorganized into a guard camp. The list of positions was submitted to the Ministry of War. I appreciate this!"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised. From the magistrate to the official of a feudal territory, he surpassed the provincial level three divisions, and became the governor as the censor of Zuodu. This is a very high level. It seems that Lu Xiangsheng is a favorite in His Majesty's eyes.

Another point is that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, is different. The emperor specially ordered the remaining Qin Wang Army to be reorganized into a guard camp. This is a gift since they all have official titles.

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

This made Ma Shilong stunned. Speaking of which, he was the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province. It was most likely that he would be transferred to the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass. Why was it given to He Kegang? Faintly, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

If it were changed before, there should be civil servants who would come out to speak for him at this time, such as the former chief minister Han Xu, or the left capital censor Cao Yubian. Even if they don't come out to speak, there will always be someone who can come out if they beat the Censor Yanguan standing in front.

But now, for various reasons, some allies in North Korea and China are either idle at home, beheaded in public, or imprisoned to await their punishment. Even Sun Juxiang, the governor of Cangchang, the Minister of Household Affairs, who is currently idle, has just been sent to Tongzhou to check the grain supply. I didn't think anything of it before, but when I saw it now, Ma Shilong suddenly felt that this was too much of a coincidence?

It must be a coincidence. If you really want to talk about it, it seems reasonable that Zu Dashou was promoted and his deputy took over the position. Ma Shilong stood in the crowd, lowering his head and frowning to explain himself.

At this time, under the leadership of the Jinyi Guards, the junior officers of King Qin's Army drove into the city one by one and walked along the street to Tiananmen Square.
