I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 495: Official Rewards
"The guilty people are well aware of this, and the guilty minister Usa has sent a message of comfort to make An Xiaoliang come to see Your Majesty!"

Two people, one large and one small, knelt on the ground, uneasy, although they knew that the emperor's punishment had ended.But the actions just now still scared them.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the two people kneeling on the ground in the distance, expressionless.

He originally wanted to deal with An Xiaoliang, but he didn't expect that An Xiaoliang's reaction was quite fast. Seeing that Shuixi'an was dying, he immediately took action to deal with An Wugong, which allowed him to escape.

The imperial court did not want to carry out any more massacres, and the location of Usa Mansion was somewhat important, so they allowed him to be exempted from punishment.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao knew that he must be sufficiently vigilant, so he specially brought him back to watch the prisoner dedication ceremony live.

As for Anwen, he seemed to be very young. He was originally a member of the Shuixi'an clan.

If we count the relationship, he is the cousin of the distant branch who was originally appointed as the Shuixi Xuan Comfort Envoy.

His parents died early, and he was not taken seriously by the Shuixi'an clan. After the Shuixi'an clan was wiped out, he was captured by the army as a bloodline of the An clan.

Finally, Zhu Xieyuan reported to the emperor, saying that after all, the An family had ruled Shuixi for thousands of years and had a deep-rooted position.Although the An family has been wiped out, for the sake of stability in Shuixi, it is still necessary to choose another person as Shuixi's comfort envoy.

After waiting for Zhu Youxiao's reply and approval, Zhu Xieyuan selected Anwen among the Shuixi'an clan.

The reason why he was chosen was because Anwen's parents were dead and he was not taken seriously in the Shuixi'an family, leaving him helpless.After he became the ambassador of comfort, he could only rely on the imperial court and could not make any big waves.

"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: The Shuixi'an clan did not respect the king and secretly rebelled. Now the court has calmed down and the guilty person has been punished. But God has the virtue of good life, and I also remember that the Shuixi'an clan has continued to this day, and I cannot bear to die.

Today I heard that An Wen, a member of the Shui Xi'an family, is talented, intelligent, loyal and filial, and I appreciate him very much.I have specially issued a decree to serve as the Shuixi Xuan comfort envoy and govern Guiyang. I hope that he can take it as a warning, be respectful to the imperial court, love the people below, and live up to the expectations of the imperial court.

I also heard that An Xiaoliang, the envoy of the Wusa Mansion, was decisive in his work, loyal to the government and the country, and did not collude with An Bangyan. In the end, he captured and killed An Wugong and served the country. I am deeply gratified.He was given a special reward of 2000 taels of silver, a unicorn uniform, and was named the chief soldier of Usa Mansion. "

Anwen was also very nervous in this situation, especially after experiencing the massacre of his tribe, he was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

But he has reached a sensible age, and now that he hears the words in the imperial edict, he already roughly understands what they mean.

He is now Shuixi's ambassador.

When he came here, he heard such words on the road.At that time, others were laughing at him, saying that he was a fool but was lucky. He was originally a sin that would lead to death, but in the end he was hit by a gold ingot from the sky. Not only did he not die, but he also became a messenger of comfort.

But at that time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking how could he be the messenger? It was all fake.

It was only now that he heard the emperor's imperial edict that he was convinced that all this was true.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel in a trance, not knowing what to say, as if everything was a dream, and the ups and downs of life were nothing more than this.

Compared with Anwen, Anxiao was good but much duller.

In his opinion, these rewards are useless. As long as the emperor mentions himself in the imperial edict and remembers his name, it is enough.

As he thought about it, he turned around and glanced at Anwen beside him, sighing in his heart that his life was really good.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

The two immediately knelt down to thank them, and were then led down by officials from Honglu Temple.

Afterwards, Liu Yishui and Zhang Weixian once again led hundreds of civil and military officials to come forward to congratulate Zhu Youxiao. As a result, the entire Meridian Gate Hall ended immediately, and Zhu Youxiao also drove back to the palace.

Of course, the aftermath of the incident is still affecting the city of Beijing. More than [-] people were killed in the West City in succession. This was only seen during the Meridian Gate Ceremony after the Battle of Korea during the Wanli Period.

Now everyone in the capital has not seen this kind of excitement for more than 20 years. Naturally, they will not miss this rare opportunity to watch the excitement. They gathered near the West Market to take a look at the rebels.

And Zhu Youxiao was not idle either. After he returned to the palace, he went non-stop to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. After that, he also rewarded the meritorious officials and entertained hundreds of officials. He was busy until the evening.

It's just that he has little interest in these formalities. What he is most interested in is meeting the heroes who put down the rebellion.

So he sent someone to convey the order that night, and summoned Yang Zhaoji, Jiang Lin, Wen Yingkui and others the next day.
-
"Whoosh!"

An arrow was stuck in the center of the target, and the shaking shaft showed that it had just been shot.

"Yang Aiqing, you are good at archery. It seems that your archery skills are as good as last year."

When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he shouted loudly, turned to look at Datong Yang Zhaoji beside him, and praised him without hesitation.

"Since your Majesty made an appointment with me last year to come back and test the arrows, I have not dared to neglect at all, for fear that my skills would be rusty. Fortunately, I have lived up to the emperor's orders today!"

"What Mr. Yang said is true. When we went south, Mr. Yang once talked about this. He also practiced his skills hard every day. Looking at the current results, it seems that His Majesty must have passed the exam today." Jiang Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenwu Army on the side, also smiled and echoed when he heard this. Zhu Youxiao even smiled when he heard what he said:

"It seems that General Yang takes my words very seriously, and I want to reward you well."

"Your Majesty is ridiculous. I just don't think about anything else. I will do whatever your Majesty says. In fact, it is not just the minister, but also General Jiang, General Wen, and General Qin. It is with this kind of thinking that I can lead the soldiers. Use your life, bravely kill the enemy, and eliminate rebellion."

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he looked at Jiang Lin, Wen Yingkui, Qin Minping and others behind him, thinking that Yang Zhaoji could still be a good person. Seeing that he was praised, he also said good things about the other people, and his favorable impression of him could not help but change. A few more points.

When he thought of this, he looked at Wen Yingkui and the other three in turn, nodded slowly, and said with sincerity:

"Yes, Yang Aiqing is right. Wen Aiqing, you led elite troops from three sides to send troops early last year and stationed troops in the southwest for nearly a year. You were willing to take the lead in wiping out She Chongming.

Qin Aiqing, your whole family has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Your eldest brother is still on the front line of Liaodong, and you have made meritorious service in the southwest. You can be said to be a loyal minister.

Jiang Aiqing, the Zhenwu Army was the first to form an army in the Beijing camp. You led the Zhenwu Army southward, and I already know what you did.You did a very good job, and the Zhenwu Army did not embarrass me. You have made outstanding military achievements, and I am very pleased. "

When the three of them saw the emperor praising them so solemnly, they suddenly felt warm in their hearts, thinking that their efforts were not in vain.So he immediately knelt down and said:

"This is all because of His Majesty's trust in his ministers, otherwise we would never be able to achieve such great achievements!"

"Get up, I have a steelyard in my heart. There will be rewards for merit, and there will be punishment for mistakes. This is only fair."

Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard this, and then asked them to get up. Their rewards had been arranged long ago, and the edict had been issued.

Yang Zhaoji was already the commander-in-chief of Datong, and Zhu Youxiao promoted him to the commander-in-chief of Xuanda, with jurisdiction over Datong Town and Xuanfu Town.

These two places closely protect the north of Shanxi and Hebei. Because these two places are strategically important, they are also places where the Mongolian army often appears.Therefore, since the Jiajing Dynasty, Datong Town and Xuanfu Town were often combined into one, and they were heavily guarded, so that the Ming army could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

However, since the Longqing Peace Conference, the conflicts with the Mongols have become less and less, and the Xuanda General Army is no longer permanent.But Zhu Youxiao wanted to promote and reuse Yang Zhaoji this time, and another very important reason was to rectify border affairs.

Last month, Zhu Youxiao asked the Jinyiwei to take action against Fan Yongdou and other merchants in Shaanxi who had liaisons with the rebels. However, according to the Jinyiwei report, their business location was Zhangjiakou Fort.

Zhangjiakou Fort is under the jurisdiction of Xuanda Town. Zhu Youxiao absolutely does not believe that in Xuanda Town, only the guard of Zhangjiakou Fort was involved in this matter.

But if they were allowed to conduct self-examination, they would collude with each other and would definitely do the job perfunctorily. Therefore, by sending Yang Zhaoji from Datong Town and cooperating with Jin Yiwei's investigation, there might be further discoveries.

As for the deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui Town, Wen Yingkui was directly promoted by Zhu Youxiao to the rank of commander-in-chief of Yansui Town.

As for Qin Minping, the commander-in-chief of Yongning, because the Shizhu Qin family had made great contributions to the court, Zhu Youxiao also wanted to give more rewards to show his favor.

So he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Xuanwu Army in the Beijing Camp. This position was different from the previous commander-in-chief of Yongning. It can be said to be a high-power position.

At present, only the Fourth Army in Beijing camp has been trained, and only the Xuanwu and Fenwu armies are still training. The positions of the generals of these two armies are closely watched by many people. Even Zhu Youxiao's appointment must be considered twice.

However, Qin Minping not only fought bravely, but the Qin family was also loyal to the court, and Zhu Youxiao was also happy to reuse him.

As for Jiang Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenwu Army, although he contributed a lot in this war, he is now the commander-in-chief of the Zhenwu Army.

Zhu Youxiao could not continue to raise the title, so he gave his military attache a loose rank, starting from the third rank of General Huaiyuan.

"Okay, let's go to the front barracks. Although the grass field is no longer used as a training ground, these fields can still be used."

Zhu Youxiao led them forward. The eunuchs of the Royal Horse Supervisor had already arranged the venue.

The venue is also simple, just find a former classroom, have people clean up the debris inside, and prepare some food and wine.

After Zhu Youxiao led everyone in, the eunuchs had already prepared everything.

"Sit everyone!"

Although this kind of occasion is not in line with etiquette, Zhu Youxiao likes to discuss matters in this kind of relaxed occasion.

After all, discussions in formal occasions such as Qianqing Palace and Wenhua Palace are quite serious and there are many etiquette and rules. Not only will the ministers be very restrained, but it is also difficult for Zhu Youxiao to say a lot of things.

This kind of occasion can be used as a supplement to the court meeting, but it is limited to communicating with distinguished military attaches.

If you talk to a civil servant like this, you will probably have to write a letter to admonish yourself again.
