Princess Fuyao

Chapter 132
Beimo finally stopped tossing and the peace of the past was restored. Emperor Jiaming mobilized the army to support Tianmen Mountain and went back to various places.

Regarding Ji Fuyao's award, the ministers of the court and China had serious differences. Some people said that she resisted desperately and severely hit the arrogance of the invaders, which caused the Tartars to fight among themselves and finally saved Tianmen Mountain. They suggested that the emperor give her an award.

There are also some, mainly honored nobles, who say that this victory was a fluke, and no matter who they send, they will win.

And the people in the Ministry of War reacted even more violently because there was no Ren Dayuan in Fuyao's request for meritorious service, saying that she was jealous of the virtuous and capable, nepotism, unworthy to be a marshal, she won by fluke, and had no right to ask for a reward from the court.

They gave an example, all the eunuchs who served Fuyao had done meritorious service, but the vanguard officer did not. Could it be that a servant is more effective than the vanguard officer?

Fortunately, Fuyao's secret letter to the emperor detailed the process of Ren Dayuan leaving his post without permission, disobeying the arrangements, and taking credit for his performance, which caused more than 100 soldiers to die in vain.Of course, the soldiers in Chengji province were one way ahead and another way behind, and pointed out their unusable flaws sharply: "Soldiers like this will be a huge burden. If there are no soldiers from other provinces and northern Xinjiang, they will be able to shake this place." The service is over! Tianmen Mountain has also been dead for a long time! However, the death of the minister is not to be regretted, the court is in danger, and a major event is imminent."

Emperor Jiaming slammed the counter angrily. Yes, soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty. What's more, in the marshal's camp, Ren Dayuan had no objection to Fuyao's arrangement, but for his own meritorious service, he even abandoned his position. To make up for one's own mistakes, and to change the established tactics without authorization, if the soldiers are like this, how can the frontier be defended?How can such a general be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a vanguard officer?

Gu Qingshan, Minister of the Ministry of War, held Fuyao's secret booklet, his face turned pale with fright, the old man could not sit still in this position, and the wind and rain made him very sensitive: "Your Majesty, this Da Yuan was recommended to the Ministry of War by the governor of Chengji Province , I didn’t agree with it at first, but the servant Song Fangkui strongly admired it, and now, he is the one who feels wronged for Ren Dayuan, saying that Ji Fuyao took meritorious service and slandered his subordinates.”

Emperor Jiaming didn't speak for a while, Gu Qingshan was too old, and couldn't suppress the people in the Ministry of War, so what should he do if he makes small reports all day long?Especially the internal strife between the minister and the minister, can the Ministry of War not be chaotic?He remembered Hao Zhiqian's proposal that young and promising talents should be vigorously promoted to take up important positions.

Seeing the emperor ignoring him, Gu Qingshan felt infinitely sad. You, the emperor, can't tell the good from the bad. It's hard for me, a courtier, to be a man. The old man was disheartened, so when he returned home, he made a book and begged for the emperor's bones.

Without Gu Qingshan's pressure, Song Fangkui was even more unscrupulous, Mao Guogong and Liang Guogong said more and more, and even said that if you put a piece of meat on the marshal position and tie a dog, you can win the battle.

This completely angered Marshal He. He is a relatively gentle person, but he is also a person with a bottom line. The affairs in the court made him intolerable.

"Your Majesty, how did Ji Fuyao win this battle? Ji Fuyao's military report made it very clear. She didn't take credit for herself, not at all. But I can still see her bravery and determination beyond ordinary people. , and the commanding demeanor of a general."

The emperor seldom saw Marshal He's expression like this, and he didn't say anything after hearing the words, but just took Fuyao's military newspaper and read it again carefully.

"Your Majesty, it is clearly written in the military newspaper that there are many reasons for the internal strife among the Tartars. Repeated defeats, frustrated confidence, Mu Tie'er and Liang Mingrui spread rumors in the army to shake the morale of the army and help each other. result."

"There are also Tazi people who are rebellious and do not have a monarch in their hearts!" Emperor Jiaming said, "This is also an important reason, otherwise, Hong Bang would not be fooled by others, and Hong Bang would lose his mind."

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!" Marshal He sincerely admired, and then pointed to the military newspaper, "Ji Fuyao said that without Liang Mingrui's hint map from Liu Linjian, she would not set up an ambush there. It is much more difficult, and even impossible to win, so she asked for credit for Mr. Liang, but she didn't mention herself at all, with such a mind, she is really a heroine, thinking about some people's deeds, I feel ashamed for them."

Emperor Jiaming immediately thought of the faces of his old father-in-law, and felt annoyed and ashamed in his heart. He felt that he didn't know people well, that Ji Fuyao had contributed to the community, and he was still here weighing the merits for rewards.

Marshal He left, and King Fu came.During this period of time, he has been suffering from bad luck. Seeing the empresses and concubines pressing down on his daughter, he is very anxious. The emperor has a great career and a long life. He believes that time can wash away the great humiliation Liang Bingwang brought him. If he persists With one hand, maybe his grandson will be able to climb to the top successfully in the last step, so these days, he is active again.

The imperial court's praise for the soldiers of Tianmen Mountain has not been finalized for a long time, so he found an opportunity to attack his opponent.

Coincidentally, shortly after He Bailu left the palace, he met Emperor Jiaming: "Your majesty is wise, and I believe that some people object to commending Ji Fuyao because they have ulterior motives. The military newspaper from Tianmen Mountain clearly wrote it down. How can we win by deploying soldiers to kill the enemy with our joint efforts? We are invincible, and Hong Bang drove straight into the capital to threaten the gate. Can there be internal strife on the Tartar side? Now it is not a matter of how to reward heroes. Let me tell you, how to reward It’s not an exaggeration, the key is to quickly build the city walls and gates on Tianmen Mountain to prevent the Tartars from taking advantage of it.”

"Very kind!" Emperor Jiaming couldn't help but praise.

Those who have done meritorious deeds are not his direct descendants. In a word, Fu Wang took the topic aside, making the emperor careless about how to praise Fuyao them.The ministers in the court also had a calm mind and put forward suggestions for early defense. When the emperor saw that the distinguished representative of King Fu had come forward, the court meeting tomorrow would pass smoothly, and he felt a little more relaxed, so he asked: "My lord thinks, let Ji Fuyao supervises the construction of the city, or send someone else?"

"I thought that we should send a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang Shangchun, to supervise the construction of the city. Ji Fuyao should either be responsible for the security of the border, or simply expand the camp in northern Xinjiang. The safety there will be left to Guo Chengbo. Ji Fuyao will return to the court to receive the reward. I heard that , this is a female general, not married yet."

"Oh, that's right, if you let him be stationed at the frontier, it will be a life-long delay." Emperor Jiaming valued affection and was kind-hearted, and King Fu grasped his thoughts best.

The ancestor of the Shang family was a highly skilled stonemason. He made his mark in the construction of the walls and gates of the northern Xinjiang military camp. Later, he was left in many cities in the Yong Dynasty. In his later years, he seemed to be the ancestor of the masons in the Yong Dynasty. No one dared to say that the city he built was not good. The descendants of the Shang family also worked very hard, and passed it down from generation to generation. The skills became more and more proficient, and the head of the family also read more and more. Shang Chunlai's father became a member of the Ministry of Industry Wailang, and he, is even better than blue. When he was 30 years old, he had a great reputation outside, and it was said that he was better than his father. Therefore, when Lao Shang was old and wanted to retire, Xiao Shang naturally went to bit.
