Borrow the day to change the day

When Emperor Chongzhen saw him, he smiled and stepped forward quickly, leaned over to help Zhong Jinwei up, and said, "Master Zhong, don't be too polite, get up quickly!"

After Zhong Jinwei stood up according to his words, Emperor Chongzhen took a closer look and said with emotion: "Master Zhong, you have lost weight again! You have worked hard for the country, you have worked hard!"

Zhong Jinwei felt that today's Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be more sentimental than usual.He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is right for a minister to be loyal to state affairs."

Zhong Jinwei really guessed right, Emperor Chongzhen felt a lot in his heart at this time.Because he remembered the past, in Yuntai, Yuan Chonghuan boasted to him that he went to Haikou for five years.However, in the end, the situation in Liaodong deteriorated, and even when the capital was lost, the capital was almost captured by Jianlu.

But today, although Zhong Jinwei didn't boast about Haikou, saying that he would flatten the Liao Dynasty in five years, he is doing it with practical actions.

In the second year of Chongzhen's rescue, he was in a coma. After waking up, he assisted himself in various reforms.Especially to increase the revenue of the treasury, so that the court has money to do things.

At the beginning of the third year of Chongzhen, Zhong Jinwei, with only [-] strong people, dared to sneak attack the Qingshui Mingyue Pass occupied by Jianlu, who was in full swing at that time.Then the eight thousand Jian captives were blocked in the pass, and the slave chief Aixinjueluo-Amin was even captured alive.It created an opportunity for the later, so that Daming finally had the opportunity to severely damage the Jianlu in Guannei and recover all the cities in Guannei occupied by Jianlu.

At the end of the third year of Chongzhen, Zhong Jinwei reorganized the Beijing camp, reorganized the new army, and traveled thousands of miles to rescue the Denglaiming army that was heavily besieged by Jian captives.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhong Jinwei led an army to raid Haizhou City in Liaodong, and drove a nail under Jianlu's nose.At the same time, he quickly returned to aid Jiangnan, and quelled the Hongyi Rebellion in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the fifth year of Chongzhen, he sent troops to wipe out the Liaodong Jianlu in one fell swoop, and wiped out a powerful Jin country.

After this calculation, Zhong Jinwei has done so many things in less than four years, not just limited to Pingliao.

Throughout the 300-year history of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, even those heroes who founded the country in the early Ming Dynasty, in terms of merit, none of them can compare with Zhong Jinwei.

Because Zhong Jinwei not only has dazzling military achievements, but more importantly, he also has achievements that are not inferior to military affairs in civil and political affairs.It's just that in front of the world, military achievements are more intuitive.

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, how could he not feel a little bit emotional!Zhong Jinwei is really fulfilling the promise he made when he first met him to help him rejuvenate Daming.

Emperor Chongzhen took Zhong Jinwei's hand and turned to face the officials behind him.

Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, led the cabinet, six ministries and nine ministers, and a large group of grandfathers in scarlet robes to pay respects to Zhong Jinwei.

When Zhong Jinwei saw it, how could this be possible!He hurriedly wanted to stop it.But his hand was firmly held by Emperor Chongzhen, and at the same time he heard Emperor Chongzhen say to him: "Master Zhong, you deserve it!"

Zhong Jinwei was quite helpless, so he had to accept it.

Then Emperor Chongzhen took Zhong Jinwei by the hand, walked towards Yujia, and said, "Master Zhong and I will go to sacrifice the Taimiao together."

When Zhong Jinwei saw it, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to go to the Taimiao with him in a royal car.Thinking about this, it seems too dazzling!

He quietly said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, is this not good?"

"Master Zhong, don't worry about it, just show your arrogance like rubbing my rice, what's wrong with rubbing a car!" Emperor Chongzhen replied with a smile in a low voice.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was speechless.That meal was in the palace, and no outsiders were present.This rubbish car is under the spotlight of all the people, it is completely different, and will be written into the history books.

But Emperor Chongzhen held his hand again, holding it tightly, and it was difficult to break free, so he was reluctantly led by Emperor Chongzhen to approach Yujia.

When he was in front of the imperial driver, Zhong Jinwei saw the driver, and suddenly had an idea, and played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I will drive for your majesty! On the road of rejuvenating Daming and letting Daming go to the empire on which the sun never sets, I have always been for your majesty." drive!"

Then, without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to agree, he said to the driver: "I'm sorry, I robbed you of your job today, and I'll drive the car for His Majesty."

The driver originally had a serious face, with a trace of respect, but when he heard Zhong Jinwei's words, he suddenly became stunned.

He didn't dare to listen, and he didn't dare not to listen. He had no choice but to look at Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was moved by Zhong Jinwei's words just now that he was driving for His Majesty on the road to rejuvenate Daming and lead Daming to the Empire on which the sun never sets.This is a good saying, and Emperor Chongzhen no longer insisted on it, thinking in his heart, let the monarchs and ministers bring Daming to the top of the world together!

The imperial horse has been trained. Although it looks tall and mighty, it is actually very docile.Zhong Jinwei just pretended that Yu Jia could move forward by himself.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei drove the Yujia to the Taimiao slowly, and the civil and military officials headed by Wen Tiren followed the Yujia on foot.Behind them, there are some iconic items seized from the Jianlu Palace, as well as the heads of several slave chieftains, who are guarded by the Jingying and follow behind the officials.

Along the way, the people who lined the road to welcome him had already recognized that the man driving the imperial chariot was the Marquis of Zhongxing.As soon as the royal driver arrived, the people knelt down and bowed to the ground.

In the unofficial history of later generations, there is controversy about this.It is said that the common people bowed down because the emperor came over; but more opinions were that the common people bowed down to the Marquis Zhongxing, because the Marquis Zhongxing was the main character, and the common people did not shout long live.

During the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the captives in the Taimiao Temple, someone who had prepared the sacrificial oration in advance was full of eloquence, starting with the rise of Jianlu and ending with the current destruction of the country. Emperor Chongzhen had to recite it for a long time.

Anyway, after tossing for a long time, it was finally finished.Then Emperor Chongzhen led all the civil and military officials back to the Huangji Hall, which was usually only visited during the great court meeting.

Emperor Chongzhen also gave Zhong Jinwei a seat in front of all civil and military officials.Then Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, read out the imperial decree, listing Zhong Jinwei's contributions, and the long imperial decree took a long time to finish.

In the end, there was a reward, and Zhong Jinwei was granted the title of Prince and Taifu, and Jinjue was hereditary Xingguo Duke.

As a result, Zhong Jinwei was named the hereditary Duke of the Ming Dynasty at a young age, which is rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty.You must know that the last person who was granted the title of hereditary duke based on his own merits while still alive dates back to the time of Emperor Xianzong, according to which more than 100 years have passed.

Of course, there was actually one in the past few years, that is, Wei Zhongxian's son Wei Liangqing, who was named Ning Guogong.But no one cared about this duke, or in other words, everyone in Da Ming automatically ignored this duke, because it was a disgrace to Da Ming's officialdom.

Then Yuan Keli, the governor of Liaodong, was granted the posthumous title of Wenzhong by posthumous posthumous name Wenzhong.

After all this was over, it was almost evening.Zhong Jinwei was still not allowed to rest at this time, and was taken to the Wenhua Palace by Emperor Chongzhen for a small meeting.
