Chapter 916

"Long live my emperor!"

"You Aiqings are flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Mingzhi and others stood in the center of the Qinzheng Hall, and took out the prepared memorial from the wristband, the battle report recorded with the army.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers of the Western Expedition have already stated in the memorial, please have a look!"

"Bring it up!"

The Chief Manager came down and took the memorial from First Young Master Liu, returned to the dragon steps and handed it to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng looked at the tiger talisman that Liu Mingzhi handed in consciously, smiled and put it on the dragon case casually.

Li Zheng carefully reviewed the results of the battle on the memorial, followed by the seal script of the military recorder, and all the civil and military officials below also poked their heads to stare at the memorial in the emperor's hand. Although they couldn't see the content on the memorial, they couldn't stop their curiosity. Heart.

The letter sent back by the envoy sent by Young Master Liu said that the Western Expeditionary Army will return in triumph in the near future, and no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty knows the result of the specific battle.

Looking at the content of the memorial, Li Zheng couldn't hide the smile on his face, as if he had eaten countless honey!
None of the civil and military officials is a human being, and one can guess from the emperor's face that the results of the battle must be incomparably fruitful. Each of the six ministers secretly figured out how to get a share of it.

The generals were also gearing up secretly, and the scouts reported uninterruptedly that they were by the emperor's side, but they could hear it clearly. There were more than 30 horses in the 50-odd army, except for the 20 cavalry brought by the Western Expedition Army. It can be guessed that the captured war horses fluctuated around 30.

War horses in the Western Regions, Ma Zhengsi spends a lot of gold and silver a year to get less than 30 horses, and [-] war horses are based on a thousand horses.

Li Zheng handed the memorial to the chief executive with a smile.

The chief manager naturally understood the suitable intention, and respectfully took the memorial, cleared his throat and opened the memorial.

"Long live my emperor, minister Liu Mingzhi will play!"

"In the second year of Rui'an, the unnamed masters from the countries of the Western Regions invaded our frontiers without declaring war, killing my people and my compatriots. This action is too numerous to write down, and the people and gods are all angry!"

"Your Majesty is wise, Tianwei is furious, and I specially consign the minister to the West Expedition Grand Marshal to command the three armies to crusade!"

"On November 26, the second year of Rui'an, an army of 40 people went west to Yumen Pass with the hatred of the country and the family, and fought bravely for captives!"

"Ryan for three years."

"The army of the Western Expedition went all the way to the west to attack the city and pull out the village. Wherever it went, it either attacked by force or took it out of its wits. It lasted from July 28 of one year to May 28 of the fourth year of Rui'an. The conquest has come to a successful conclusion!"

"The minister made his own decision to erect an immortal monument with ten big characters engraved on it, nine thousand miles to the west, and the territory of Dalong, and commemorate the [-] great dragons of the Western Expedition Army!"

"Set up two auxiliary monuments to warn future generations! Always remember the bravery of the ancestors to fight against thieves and the feat of generosity in righteousness!"

"The Western Expedition and the return of the troops on June 25th in the fourth year of Rui'an to the present day, during the Western Expedition, a total of more than 26 people were beheaded and more than 160 million people were captured!"

"The countries in the Western Regions are vigilant and violate our territorial responsibility without reason. This war compensates me for the Dalong war money, 600 million taels of silver, 5 taels of gold, 30 horses, 81 cattle and sheep, and [-] sweaty and bloody BMWs. The heart of surrender!"

"The governor of the ancient silk road between Loulan, Gumo and Moxie built a mansion in Anxi, which can accommodate [-] troops. All the countries in the Western Regions put their imperial seals on them to show their respect!"

"The 38 countries are dominated by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Once the command of the commander-in-chief is issued, the 38 countries will not dare to disobey. Those who disobey the order will destroy the city and perish!"

"So far, the minister has reported to His Majesty, and sent a message to the people to complain about the thief!"

"Long live the dragon, long live Your Majesty!"

"Dragon Ryan, November 22, four years!"

"Chen Liu Mingzhi, pause!"

As soon as the chief executive's voice fell, Chao Wenwu was amazed, and there were many discussions among each other.

Especially Lao Jiang was trembling with excitement, seeing that Young Master Liu was like a God of Wealth, and he almost kowtowed three sticks of incense on his head to make offerings to Young Master Liu.

Thinking about it, Lao Jiang has never been so excited about his wife's pregnancy!His mind was completely occupied by 30 war horses.

Dalong is not particularly short of money now, but only lacks strategic things such as war horses.

Ma Zhengsi spends a lot of money from the Ministry of Households every year, but the results of buying war horses are always unsatisfactory.

Not being able to spend money has become the biggest difficulty for Ma Zhengsi. He wants to buy a good war horse, but no one sells it to Dalong.

The compensation for 30 war horses almost made Old Jiang almost fail!
Just now outside the palace gate, he deliberately exaggerated the expenditure of the treasury and silver to put pressure on Young Master Liu, just to make a formula in advance to see the result of the battle.

As for how much it is exaggerated, well, the secret must not be revealed.

However, Young Master Liu had a very strict tone and didn't reveal a single word.

Now my whole heart is relieved.

30, that's 30.

Li Zheng happily looked at the messy and noisy Jinluan Hall below, which was as noisy as a vegetable market. It was rare that he didn't scold all the civil and military officials. He waited for their excitement to pass before Li Zheng stood up from the dragon chair.

"Department of Rites!"

"Chen is here!"

"Copy out the contents of the memorial verbatim and post it in all the state capitals of Dalong. I want to celebrate with all the people the move to recover the Western Regions!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Military Department, Household Department!"

"Chen is here!"

"I don't need to tell you how to do it one by one, right?"

"Sir, you understand!"

"Officials!"

"Chen is here!"

"Purpose!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"

"Song Qinglao, the deputy general of the Western Expedition Army, has made great achievements. He has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and was promoted to Marquis of Anyuan. He was promoted to General Yunhui, the commander of the imperial guards, and the commander of the inner guards are all from the third rank! Reward a hundred taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver, and a unicorn robe Ten pearls!"

"General Cheng Kai of Longwuwei, and Zhou Baoyu were promoted to one rank, and promoted to one rank. They walked before the emperor to the honor, and were rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and a pair of jade biscuits!"

"Duan Canren, Ye Baotong, Feng Buer, and Ning Chao's four generals were added to the ranks. Ding'an, Guyuan, Pinglou, and Cheng'an Barons were promoted to a higher rank and given a mansion! Each will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and ten bolts of silk!"

"The cavalry is commanded by Han Peng, Jiang Lei. The noble is promoted to a rank, and the official is promoted to a rank. He will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and a pair of jade!"

"."

"Du Yuguan was promoted to a higher level, and he was awarded Baron Tian Wei, a mansion, and a thousand taels of silver!"

"The merits of the generals and soldiers of the Western Expedition are planned by the Ministry of War, verified by the Ministry of Households, and rewarded by the Ministry of Officials!"

"Minister Du Chenghao obeys the order!"

Du Chenghao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, looked at his son excitedly, he was knighted, and the most ineffective son turned out to be the first among several sons to be knighted, Du Chenghao couldn't be unhappy!
The rest of the books looked at their sons and sighed helplessly. Although they were all promoted, they were much worse than adding titles.

They also had no choice. Based on their understanding of First Young Master Liu, they would definitely not intentionally suppress their son. Du Yu must be better than Sun Mingfeng and the others in order to be able to step into the noble class.

Li Zheng looked curiously at Du Yu who was grinning cheerfully below: "Du Yu loves Qing!"

"Chenchen Du Yu sees His Majesty!"

"You don't need to be too polite! I will see your ability to forge seals someday!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being young and ignorant! I will never dare to imitate seals without permission again!"

"Your Majesty, all the old ministers have no way to teach their children. After returning home, the old ministers must discipline them well!"

Du Chenghao didn't know how the emperor knew that his son liked to fake seals, so he hurriedly stood up and begged for mercy!

"Hey, don't be afraid, there are also people who carve seals among the people, and it doesn't mean anything if they like something, but you must not use these clever things in improper places!"

"Yes, Chen Du Yu must keep it in mind!"

Du Yu glanced at Liu Mingzhi with a grateful expression, he knew that Young Master Liu must have pleaded in the battle report, otherwise he would definitely be reprimanded!
Du Yu also knew that the official department's military records and records about the battle report could not be concealed. Liu Mingzhi's pleading for him is already good!

"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone who should be rewarded has been rewarded, except Liu Mingzhi, the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, whose reward has not yet been announced.

All the civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty looked at the emperor curiously, wanting to know how the emperor rewarded Liu Mingzhi, the great marshal of the Western Expedition for his hard work.

Now he is a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and if he is sealed again, he will be the Lord of the Founding County, and the Lord of the Founding County, but Liu Mingzhi will not be credited with the founding of the country.

Then it can only be the duke of the state, the king of the county with a different surname, and the king with a different surname.

The conquest of nearly 38 million square kilometers of the 180 countries in the Western Regions can be described as a great feat of expanding the territory, and Feng Guogong's words are too small.

Liu Mingzhi's age is too young. You must know that Young Master Liu is only 25 years old this year.
After much deliberation, only the two-character county king can meet this monstrous achievement.

Liu Mingzhi nodded, lowered his eyebrows and stood motionless in the hall like a wooden man, not looking at the emperor's face, nor at the faces of civil and military officials.

It seems that the person who is rewarded is someone else and not himself!
Li Zheng stared at Liu Mingzhi with squinted eyes, sat on the dragon chair, picked up the ink pen, hesitated for a moment, and slowly wrote in the expectant eyes of civil and military officials.

"The king of Pingxi is hereditary, and the hereditary Duke of Dingguo will not replace him!" '

"Qinglian!"

Li Zheng fiddled with the wrench above his thumb with a hesitant expression, and his eyes fell on Liu Mingzhi from time to time for a moment!

The ink brush in his hand lingered on the two names of Pingxi Wang Dingguogong.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Li Zheng on the dragon chair in surprise, not knowing what the emperor was doing. Is it so difficult to decide on a reward?
Li Zheng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened them suddenly, with the ink pen in his hand, he stroked lightly on the five characters of King Pingxi's hereditary and Qinglian!
"Feng Xizheng Generalissimo Liu Mingzhi is the Duke of Dingguo, hereditary successor, Kaifuyitong three divisions, especially close to Yingzhou Fuguo General, rewarding ten thousand taels of gold!"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the emperor in astonishment, how could it be the Duke of the State?This is completely different from what I and others have guessed.

Although it is a hereditary succession, the difference between the titles of the Duke and the Duke of the county is not even a little bit. Liu Mingzhi is only in his mid-twenties, so he can definitely turn the hereditary throne into a hereditary succession in the future!
Liu Mingzhi's contribution can definitely be ranked among the county kings with different surnames. He is the only county king with a different surname in Dalong in the past hundred years.
Could it be the land of Shu?
There were still quite a few ministers with keen minds who immediately thought of something, and looked at Young Master Liu with regretful eyes.

Because a concubine actually lost the throne that he had obtained, many ministers warned themselves that they must keep their eyes open when taking concubines in the future. I have my heart!

Liu Mingzhi felt relieved when he heard the emperor's reward, he knew too well what his own contribution was, and being the king of the county was no problem at all, thinking of Qinglian standing on the street waving at him safe and sound, Liu Mingzhi didn't feel aggrieved at all.

He let out a long breath and was about to thank Li Zheng when he spoke again.

"Liu's family, Qi Yun, virtuous and virtuous, is bestowed the title of first-rank wife, and the salary is the same as that of concubines in the harem!"

"Liu Chengfeng, the eldest son of Liu's eldest son, will be granted the title of head of Tongyuan County! The eldest daughter, Liu Feifei, will be given the title of head of Ren'an County! Each will be given a golden lock of longevity! One thousand taels of silver!"

"Chen Liu Mingzhi thank His Majesty Long En!"

"Chen Songqing!"

"Chen Kai!"

"."

"Minister Sun Mingfeng!"

"Thank you, my emperor Long En, long live long live!"

"Your loves are free of courtesy. You have worked hard to suppress the bandits. Three days later, I will hold a banquet in the Imperial Garden to clean up the dust for your loves!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Retreat!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha Master Liu, this old man misses you so much, ugh, ugh. Don't hide, Mr. Liu!"

The emperor had just disappeared, and the old Jiang swooped and threw Young Master Liu to the ground, and two 'sweet' kisses were on Young Young Master Liu's cheeks!

"Damn it. Old Jiang, you uncle, get up from the little master, the young master is not good at this!"

The civil and military officials looked at Jiang Yuanming who was riding on Young Master Liu jokingly, knowing that you are the Minister of the Household Department, and knowing that you are excited, but this is too exciting!
In broad daylight, the world is bright and bright, and two high-ranking officials of the imperial court actually embrace each other in full view. It is really unbearable to look directly at them and want to take a few peeks!
Young Master Liu controlled his strength and kicked Old Jiang away, wiping the drool on his face in disgust.

"Old Jiang, please respect yourself, I will not be polite if you are like this!"

Jiang Yuanming did not have the demeanor of a senior member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, licking his face and leaned over: "Don't get angry, don't get angry, if you are not happy, it's okay to kick this official twice, just kick as you like, don't get angry when you are young, you will grow old easily! "

Young Master Liu looked at the surrounding civil and military officials with narrow eyes and pushed Jiang Yuanming away.

"Go away, you are a dignified member of the Ministry of household affairs, first-rank official, don't you want to be ashamed?"

"As long as you have money, it's hard for me to call you my father. It's hard for me to be an official. I have to spend money everywhere I eat, drink, and drink. It doesn't matter if I don't say a handful of bitter tears!"

"That's right, Benhou. I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'll go home and visit Gaotang first. Let's talk about it after drinking in the Imperial Garden in three days!"

"Okay, okay, go slowly!"

"Colleagues, this announcement resigns!"

"Mr. Ding, let's go!"

Liu Mingzhi hurriedly walked towards the outside of the Hall of Qinzheng, circled a big circle and returned to the Hall of Qinzheng, where no one was there, stopped and waited.

Three poles in the sun!

The sun is setting!

The patrolling guards, eunuchs, eunuchs and maids who passed by greeted each other, and Liu Mingzhi nodded in response!

Looking at the setting sun in the west, Liu Mingzhi stared in the direction of the harem, pursed his lips and smiled, took the Heavenly Sword from the armour stand, tied it around his waist, and walked out of the palace in a generous manner.

The emperor really didn't summon him for a second time, it was tacit understanding!
"You're the duke of the state, you're running faster than a rabbit!"

"Yo, Lao Jia, your uncle is going to miss your dad and me, come, let dad hug you!"

"Grass, fuck your uncle, hurry home and nurse the child!"

"Yeah, let's have a drink together at Tianxianglou when we're free!"

"Okay, it's a word!"

First Young Master Liu galloped all the way to his home, and looked around at the corner of the street. He saw no passers-by. Liu Mingzhi took out a tiger talisman that was exactly the same as the one given to the emperor from his arms, broke it hard, and threw it into the sewage. In the sewage in the ditch.

As for where it came from, Du Yu said that it was the evidence of the commander in order to intercede for himself.

It has something to do with my own life, so I must rot in my stomach forever, never mentioning it.

Young Master Liu straightened his expression, straightened his robes and rushed towards the door of the house!

Two years is really too long!
Li Baiyu, the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace, carefully sorted out the battle reports.

"Father's military records record that the countries in the Western Regions compensated 720 million taels of silver and 10 taels of gold, while the memorial to my brother-in-law only included 600 million taels of silver and 5 taels of gold. Is this discrepancy?"

Li Zheng put down his teacup, stroked his beard, and looked out the window cheerfully: "Liu Mingzhi is still that money-greedy Liu Mingzhi, isn't that good? He's happy, and I feel at ease!"

"what?"

"If you don't be greedy for small gains, you must have big plans!"

"My son understands!"

"Feather!"

"Father!"

"Suspicion is the biggest taboo in the relationship between monarch and minister. Knowing people and using them well, and using them well is what a ruler should do!"

"Yes, my son must keep it in mind!"

"Looking at the past dynasties, most of the emperors forced their ministers to rebel, and the ministers had no choice but to rebel. Once a minister has rebelled, the ruler must first reflect on himself!"

"That's why my brother-in-law is standing outside the Hall of Qinzheng, Father, and you deliberately didn't summon him?"

Li Zheng patted the tiger amulet on the table and looked at Li Baiyu.

"He can trust me, so naturally I won't doubt him! It's a tacit understanding, what a tacit understanding!"

"artillery?"

"What's the rush? I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since Xizheng used artillery, he didn't intend to hide it from me. You, you still can't tolerate people. After the banquet in the Imperial Garden, go to Huangzhuang to work hard for a month to realize it!"

"My son obeys the order!"

"You are two years older than Liu Mingzhi, but none of you brothers can compare to him in terms of intelligence. You are all of the same age. Why is there such a big gap? Why did I give birth to you guys who are not good enough? No wonder folks say that sons are good for others, and wives are all good at learning!"

"Father, son, minister"

"Son, your grandma is a leg, get the hell out of me! Little bastard, you are getting more and more disgusted by me, you are promising!"

Li Baiyu nodded helplessly. Ever since his father came back from the sea, he had been spitting out a lot of fragrance, and he couldn't help it!

"My son retire!"

"Come back to me, little bastard, if I tell you to go, go. Who will review the memorial when you leave? Don't you know that I am old? Unfilial stuff, annoying! Go back and review the memorial!"

"Erchen complies with the order!"

"Call me dad, my father is not used to it!"

"father!"

"Hey, good son, get out! I'm going to review a memorial after dawn, look at your manly appearance, you don't have any manliness at all!"

"Kilometer air?"

"Eunuch, eunuch, get it now! What the hell!"

Li Zheng waved his sleeves, sighed, and left the imperial study with a look of God's eyes.

Li Baiyu looked at his father's back helplessly, and occasionally praised himself in the past.

Why is it wrong for my brother-in-law to pant when he comes back!

"Fuhai!"

"His Royal Highness, you order!"

"Go to the Prince's Mansion and make Lao Tzu's eldest son Li Ye copy the Analects of Confucius ten times!"

"what?"

"I am happy, I am torturing my son, do you need a reason? Go right away!"

"Small obedience!"
