Chapter 345
The shouts of the generals spread in all directions, and the one hundred thousand troops behind them also cheered loudly.

It is conceivable what kind of scene it would be when 10 people shouted in unison, especially the long live shouts that resounded through the sky and spread everywhere.

Almost everyone in the capital knew that the emperor brought all the officials out of the city to meet the returning army in person, and even many people in the capital came to watch the fun as if they were joining in the fun.

Originally, many people were pointing and discussing at the Emperor's Luanjia and the dark army from a distance, suddenly there was a shout like thunder, and suddenly there were only hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouting in the world Many people who were a little less courageous even fell to the ground in an instant, looking at the [-] troops in horror.

Not only the nearby people, even most of the people in the capital heard the shout that resounded through the sky at this moment.

Many people were taken aback, and subconsciously looked towards the city gate. Just listening to the shout, even if they were slow to react, they could realize that such a big movement must be the army returning in triumph.

Some elderly seniors couldn't help showing a bit of memory on their faces when they heard the powerful shouts that resounded through the sky.

They also experienced a situation like this decades ago, but it was the Tatars who killed them under the city wall of the capital. Fortunately, Qianyu Shaobao was ordered to turn the tide and repel the Tatars. , Keeping the Daming Jiangshan Sheji.

That is, after the Tatars retreated, the soldiers defending the capital also uttered such thunderous and tsunami shouts.

"Grandfather Taizu has a spirit in the sky. I have a wise emperor in Ming Dynasty. I don't have to worry about those barbarians killing me in the capital anymore."

Someone said with a sigh.

The one hundred thousand troops here shouted in unison, and the momentum was so loud that even Zhu Houzhao, who was the emperor, was startled by such momentum, but immediately Zhu Houzhao couldn't help showing an excited look on his face.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, isn't such a strong army exactly what he expected? Li Huan and Wang Yangming really lived up to his expectations. Not only did they repel the Tatars, they trained him such an elite team The army comes out.

With such an elite team joining the Beijing camp and taking charge of the capital, he, the emperor, has nothing to worry about.

Thinking back to when he was a first-time great treasure, he didn't feel very safe even in the imperial city, so he even deliberately built another place like the Leopard Room under Liu Jin's instigation.

Does he really think he is having fun? If he really wants to have fun, he can enjoy it even in the imperial city. Isn't it because Zhu Houzhao has no sense of security in the imperial city.

Later, with the appearance of Li Huan, the events that happened during this period can be described as one after another. He took control of the Jinyiwei, and gradually took control of the Beijing camp, which gave Zhu Houzhao some confidence and support.

It can be said that since Li Huan took control of Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao rarely left the palace to go to the Leopard Room. After all, Zhu Houzhao was not a fool.

If it is said that he can guarantee his own safety, how could he not know that he, the emperor, is truly justified only if he is in the imperial city, and the leopard room is not the place where the emperor should stay for a long time after all.

Looking at the [-] army in front of him now, how could Zhu Houzhao not be emotionally agitated, and there was a bit of a smile in the eyes of Li Huan and Wang Yangming beside him.

Here Zhu Houzhao is in a good mood, but there are a group of people who are like mourning concubines, not to mention their faces are as dark as the bottom of a pot, anyway, a fool can see that these people are unhappy.

Needless to say, the warriors are gaining momentum, and the last thing they want to see this scene is the civil official group, so all the civil officials present dare not say that one counts as one, but at least nine out of ten are unhappy.

Zhu Houzhao laughed so hard that even a fool could see how good the emperor was.

In fact, this is normal, even a faint king knows what it means to have such an elite army in his hands, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao is not a foolish master.

"Pass down my will, reward the three armies, and everyone in the three armies will be rewarded."

Under the restraint of military officers at all levels, the one hundred thousand soldiers who had just stopped shouting soon heard the emperor's order to reward the three armies, and the soldiers of the three armies were immediately overjoyed, and once again kowtowed to the emperor in unison and shouted long live .

There was another shout of long live that resounded through the sky.

Watching the [-] troops under the leadership of some generals set up camp in the barracks of the Beijing camp, Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Wang Yangming and other generals.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao took Wang Yangming's hand and smiled with great grace: "You are all ministers who have made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. I have already ordered people to set up a banquet to clean up the dust for all the soldiers."

Those who stayed at this time can be said to be meritorious generals. Although they had known about this process for a long time, after hearing what the emperor said, the soldiers still couldn't help showing a look of excitement and gratitude.

In the huge palace, the Son of Heaven sat in the main seat, on the left side were the military generals headed by Li Huan and Wang Yangming, and on the right side were the court officials who accompanied him.

However, the identity of those who live on the left has always been slightly better. In recent decades, even if the court hosted a banquet for the civil and military officials of the court, it has always been that the civil servants live on the left, and the Wu Xun party lives on the right.

However, this time Wu Xun was on the left side, which naturally made many civil servants feel aggrieved and thought that the emperor favored Wu Xun too much. the thoughts of these people.

After a while of toasting, Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on the elders sitting there and said: "Elders, what happened to the rewards that I ordered you to negotiate? , have you made a decision?"

As soon as the emperor said this, all the generals immediately looked at Yang Tinghe, Wang Jia, Liu Yu and other court officials.

The eyes of these generals are shining brightly. You must know that this reward is related to their future future, especially this time the credit is so great that it is even enough for the court to reward several marquises. Maybe most of them are not enough. Shangfenghou, but there is still some hope for being an earl or even a lower-ranking title.

So all the generals looked forward to those important court officials.

It seems that they didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question suddenly, but as important cabinet ministers, Yang Tinghe, Wang Jia and others quickly reacted, and saw Wang Jia slowly stand up and salute the emperor, then glanced at the generals and said: : "Returning to Your Majesty, after discussions with the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the cabinet, the list of rewards for meritorious officers and soldiers has been finalized, and we just wait for His Majesty's order."

It is said that it is waiting for the Holy Judgment of the Son of Heaven. In fact, anyone who is not a fool knows that since the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Cabinet have already discussed the results, then this list of rewards cannot be said to be the final result. In fact, it will not be too much. big change.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly when he heard the words and said: "It's very good. At the court meeting tomorrow, I will reward the meritorious soldiers and comfort the meritorious soldiers of the three armies."

The generals were overjoyed when they heard the words. Although they knew that their rewards would definitely not escape, but now they heard the emperor's vowed statement that the Great Court will announce their rewards. Naturally, everyone was very happy. It was almost the first time. Immediately got up and bowed to the emperor: "I thank your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live."

After the banquet was over, many generals with ruddy complexions and reeking of alcohol left the imperial city in small groups.

It can be clearly seen that all the warriors gathered in one place, and most of the civil servants in charge of accompanying them gathered in one place. The two sides dare not say that there is a clear distinction, but there are not many people walking together.

Wang Yangming, who was originally a civil servant, even served as a cabinet minister, but now he is clearly alienated by the civil servant group intentionally or unintentionally.

No matter what kind of person Wang Yangming is, how could he not be aware of this? It's just that Wang Yangming didn't pay attention to the alienation of the civil society.

However, it is only most of the civil servants who alienate Wang Yangming. Anyway, Wang Yangming has also been a cabinet minister for a while, and he is also a generation of sages and scholars. A group of officials have already gathered around him. Under Wang Yangming's sect.

So at this moment, several civil servants were walking with Wang Yangming with smiles on their faces, chatting and laughing with Wang Yangming, but it didn't appear that Wang Yangming was isolated.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Yangming has been isolated by most of the civil officials. Unless Wang Yangming has clearly stated his position and completely separated his relationship with the military, otherwise, Wang Yangming will definitely be regarded by the civil official group as being close to the Wuxun Group, and then Hostile and isolated by the civil service group.

Naturally, Li Huan also noticed this, but Li Huan just looked at this situation with a smile. Even regarding the civil official group's act of isolating Wang Yangming, Li Huan took a bit of an attitude of seeing the civil official group's joke.

Others don't know Wang Yangming's ability, and they only think that Wang Yangming is both civil and military, but Li Huan knows how strong Wang Yangming's real ability is.

This person's ability is not just as simple as a generation of sages, as long as Wang Yangming is willing, he can completely start a new stove, set a precedent for a school, and form a line of his own above the court.

You must know that in the original history, Wang Yangming gathered the great achievements of mind learning, gave lectures to the world, gathered a large number of students around him, and carried forward the mind learning, so that after Wang Yangming passed away, the mind learning has developed and grown into a Confucian school. The counterweight force of the same vein.

Li Huan was looking forward to Enke this time. Wang Yangming was appointed as the examiner handpicked by the emperor. After Enke passed, it can be said that all Enke scholars in this session are disciples of Wang Yangming.

I dare not say that all the disciples of this subject will be used by Wang Yangming, but as long as Wang Yangming becomes the teacher of these people, and then preaches his mastery of mind, I believe most of them will become Wang Yangming's believers. Isolating Wang Yangming would probably become a joke.

But it is said that the noble children who followed Li Huan and returned from the expedition, now they are out of the imperial city, but they are praised by all the nobles.

Chen Jizu looked at his concubine Chen Ang, his face was full of emotion and said: "My son is really promising, and I don't know what kind of reward my son will get at the Great Court Meeting tomorrow."

Xu Ying who was on the side laughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen. Brother Chen has made countless contributions this time. As long as the adults in the court are not obstructing it, I dare not say too much. A count can't escape if he thinks about it." dropped."

Xu Ying's words exploded among the nobles like a thunderbolt, and the dozen nobles who were leading their children to talk in a low voice all looked at Xu Ying and Chen Ang, their faces were full of The color of horror.

They are all nobles who have lived with the country, and they are all able to enjoy the current glory and wealth because of the shadow of their ancestors, so they, like anyone else, know how difficult it is to be conferred with military merit.

Over the past hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the number of nobles has not increased much, but has decreased a lot. Except for the two waves of nobles at the beginning of the founding of the country and Jingnan, in the past hundred years, there have been very few people who have truly been knighted by military merit. .

This time the Tatars were defeated, and 10,000+ Tatars were annihilated in the first battle. The military exploits were not comparable to those of the two emperors Taizu and Wenzong, but it was also the biggest victory of the imperial court in the past century.

Such a great victory, if the emperor rewarded him with great kindness, it would not be impossible for a few marquises or a dozen earls to come out.

You must know that Chen Jizu inherited Yu Yin from his ancestor, and he inherited the title of Marquis of Ningyang, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty.

Ordinarily, hearing Xu Ying say that her son might be made an earl still shocked Chen Jizu.

That is the position of earl, although it is not as good as the title of marquis, but it can be regarded as the position of super earl.

If it is a hereditary title of Earl, then its nobility may not be comparable to the title of Marquis of Ningyang Hou of his lineage.

Although it is said that there is not much hope for the hereditary succession, the title that Chen Ang obtained this time is very likely to be the kind of title that has been downgraded from generation to generation, but this has already made Chen Jizu extremely excited.

You must know that if Chen Jizu was really conferred the title of title, it would mean that their Chen family was a double title. In the Ming Dynasty, that would be a supreme honor.

Chen Jizu, who was extremely excited, pulled Chen Ang and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, if my son can be knighted, he can open an ancestral hall as his father, and comfort the ancestors, I have someone in the line of Marquis Ningyang."

On the contrary, Chen Ang seemed quite calm, and he didn't lose his composure like Chen Jizu. Hearing the words, he smiled lightly and said, "Thanks to the care of the general, my son can have today's fortune."

Chen Jizu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Yes, yes, everything is a general. If there is no general to take care of me, no matter how powerful my son is, he may not have the day to show it."

At this time, the other nobles also learned about the meritorious deeds made by their own heirs from their own heirs. After all, although they said that they also sent people to inquire about the merits of their own heirs, but no matter how much they inquired, they did not hear from their own heirs. precise.

Few of these nobles are fools, and I dare not say that they are all old foxes, but they can roughly judge the rewards they can get from the contributions made by their own children.

Some people showed excitement on their faces, while others showed a bit of regret, but no matter what, everyone's faces were full of joy.

At this time, listening to the conversation between Chen Jizu and Chen Ang and his son, everyone came to their senses, nodded together and said: "Marquis Ningyang is right, this time it is indeed thanks to the care of the general, we must thank you very much The general is."

"Hey, where is the general, has anyone seen the general?"

"The great general was still there just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye!"

All of a sudden, everyone chattered and looked around, looking for Li Huan.

At this moment, the British Duke Zhang Lun stroked his beard and said, "You don't need to look for it. Just now, when I saw the people in Jinyiwei coming in a hurry, I whispered a few words to the general, and the general left in a hurry. Jin Yiwei has something urgent to deal with."

After hearing what Zhang Lun said, everyone understood why Li Huan was nowhere to be found. It turned out that Jin Yiwei had something to do, and Li Huan left first.

Chen Jizu, Marquis of Ningyang, couldn't help sighing: "It seems that there is nothing serious about Jin Yiwei's side. Later, I am going to visit the general at the general's mansion and express my thanks."

As soon as Chen Jizu, the Marquis of Ningyang, said this, the eyes of all the nobles around him lit up. Why didn't they think of this? In the end, Chen Jizu said it in front of so many of them. If it spread to Li Huan'er Among them, I think Li Huan will definitely look at Chen Jizu and even Chen Ang and his son differently.

"Let's go together, let's go together, when the general finishes dealing with the affairs of the Jinyiwei yamen, we big fellows will go to visit the general together."
