Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 183 Rewards
The ass determines the head. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen must clearly realize that imperial power and ministerial power are natural opposites.

When the imperial power retreats, the power of the ministers advances.

When imperial power advances, ministerial power retreats.

Compared with the huge group of civil servants, the emperor is a lonely family, so when he holds a political advantage, he must actively suppress it.

Otherwise, let alone ruling the world, whether the decree can come out of the capital or not is another matter.

It's impossible to force me to submit.

Neither the Jianlu nor the rogue bandits was a small matter. If they were not handled properly, and the opportunity to fight was delayed, Daming would fall into a passive situation.

All of them just want to adjust their own calculations, thinking that Xiao Gui and Cao Sui have fooled things, and there is no such thing as a good thing.

Facing the rotten Ming Dynasty, it is not necessary to toss about vigorous reforms, but I am still very patient with changing political tricks and having fun with you.

Emperor Chongzhen, holding the Tianzi sword in his hand, glanced at the officials in the imperial court with a stern expression. At that time, the hall of Huangji was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be clearly heard.

All the ministers who opposed the permanent establishment of the Military Aircraft Department before were all silent. Emperor Chongzhen's words were so absolute that they are now in a dilemma.

"Qi Zou Your Majesty~"

Han Yu bit the bullet, and with the pressure in his heart, he walked out of the court with a wat in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is worried about the country, and wants to fix the country's rebellion as soon as possible, which is a good thing.

However, Your Majesty can't just focus on the important military affairs, but ignore the government affairs of our country.

Your Majesty has not gone to the Wenhua Palace to govern since his triumphant return to the court, and he has not held an early court, which is against the way of a king. The ministers objected to this before in order to persuade Your Majesty..."

Listening to what Han Yu said, Emperor Chongzhen, who had cold eyes, relaxed a lot. Don't look at what Han Yu said, he was just persuading himself, but Emperor Chongzhen understood the underlying meaning. It is to find a way for both parties to step down.

Not only Han Yu felt his determination, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. If he objected to the Military Aircraft Office, the consequences would be unbearable for them.

So he, the chief minister of the cabinet, stepped forward to make peace.

"Han Qing's meaning, I understand." After Han Yu finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said: "I thought that Han Qing was in the cabinet before, and he could share a lot of my worries."

"Although I have returned to the imperial court triumphantly, I dare not slack off in my heart for a day. The matters in the hands of the Military Aircraft Office are the most important military affairs of the Imperial Court.

When the country suffered catastrophe and people's hearts were fluctuating, my Ming Dynasty had so many strong and brave men who dared to fight bloody battles with the invading enemies. If they were not rewarded, wouldn't it be cold to their hearts?

I thought that all the ministers could understand my good intentions in their hearts, but I never thought that the ministers would treat me like that. That's all, after this big court meeting is over, I will call the cabinet to talk again. "

In the political arena of Ming Dynasty, if one wanted to achieve a certain political goal, one had to be thicker than a civil servant, like a sage of benevolence and righteousness, a commanding height of morality, he had to use whatever could be used, otherwise he should be stabbed back.

Separate the civil servants and make them confront each other, so that the court can be checked and balanced, and more time and energy can be freed up to do beneficial things.

The words of Emperor Chongzhen caused all the civil and military ministers in the court to lower their heads one after another. How could the emperor follow Han Yu's words? This is clearly alluding to them. Could it be that just one Don't do anything anymore?Do you do everything for me to see?
"Since Zhu Qing has no other opinions, let's read out the reward decree first."

Emperor Chongzhen turned around, walked towards the dragon chair, and said to the officials behind him: "This time the Jianlu invaded our Daming. Being defeated by me, Ming Dynasty, is not the result of me alone, it is also the victory of the whole country."

When it came to this point, Cao Huachun, who was already prepared, was the first to hold a copy of the imperial decree, and walked forward slowly. Under the watchful eyes of the officials, he read it without giving them any time to think.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I have been in power for more than two years, and I have inherited the great blessings of my ancestors... However, there are mediocre officials in the country, who are self-willed, bully the upper and lower, and put the country in danger... Han Yu, the great scholar of the Zhongji Palace, bestows a boa robe , was specially promoted to Doctor Guanglu, and was added to the crown prince Shaofu...Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Wenyuange University, the leading military minister, was given a python robe, awarded the title of minister of the Ministry of War, specially promoted to Doctor Ronglu, and supervised the military affairs of Ji, Liao, Tianjin, Deng and Lai... ..."

Cao Huachun eloquently read out the decree, but all the officials in the Huangji Palace were startled. The current reward decree refers to the cabinet and the military aircraft department.

Compared with the cabinet ministers such as Han Yu and Li Biao, who received some honors and rewards, Sun Chengzong succeeded Yuan Chonghuan and became the new governor of Jiliao. , Military aircraft are at the same level.

Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon chair, watching the reactions of the officials in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and rewarded with sand, I told none of you to say anything.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:..."

After Cao Huachun finished reading out the decree, Wang Dehua, who was ready, stepped forward with the imperial decree in hand, and read it eloquently under the stunned gaze of the officials.

Lu Xiang was promoted to Governor of Jiliao, Sun Zushou was appointed Admiral of the Nine Gates, and Ma Shilong was appointed Chief Military Officer of Jizhou Town...

Most of the decrees that Wang Dehua read out were issued by the Military Aircraft Department before, and they were actually responsible for the errands they received.

With the promulgation of the above two decrees, Emperor Chongzhen's political goals were half achieved, clarifying the political status of the cabinet and military aircraft department, sorting out the division of powers in Jiliao and other places, and arranging reliable generals. Distribute the powers of the 'Gyeonggi Military Region' and 'Gyeonggi Police', lay the groundwork for the follow-up rectification of military affairs in Beizhili, and at the same time transfer Zu Dashou to arrange it in front of my eyes...

At the same time, in order to avoid any objections from the court officials, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately mixed some sand and gave some courtiers such as Liu Zongzhou some rewards that seemed bluffing but not practical, but they could not refuse.

As for civil servants, they all like to improve their reputation and have a promising career. If you want these, then I will give them to you. Anyway, the actual benefits can be won immediately.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said..."

Under the slightly numb expressions of ministers like Han Yu and Li Biao, Han Zanzhou came out with the award in his hands, and read it eloquently.

This reward decree is no more valuable than the previous two, but it hides the scheming of Emperor Chongzhen. This decree corresponds to the imperial edict of fighting chaos and saving the country. For example, python robes, flying fish suits, hereditary Jinyiwei Commander Qianshi, Qianhu, etc., as well as rewards in money and food.

If a minister with a sense of politics can hear that there are several unusual awards in this reward decree, such as promoting Liu Xingzuo as the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and promoting Denglai Governor Wang Tingshi as the censor of Youqian Capital, etc. However, under the careful arrangement of Emperor Chongzhen and the meticulous cooperation of Cao Huachun and the others, all the officials inside and outside the Huangji Hall were shocked by the reward involving a large number of people.

No, isn't Yuan Chonghuan imprisoned by the emperor?
Why are there so many rewards for the courtiers this time!

Faced with these things that they were suspicious of, many ministers couldn't figure out what the emperor meant by doing this.

Of course, there are also many ministers who are worried about other things, such as Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, although he has also been rewarded accordingly, but, well, rewarding so many people and involving so much money and food, the treasury simply cannot get it out.

Looking at the ministers with different expressions, the corner of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth showed a slight smile, no one jumped out to say anything during the period, it seems that all his previous plans have come true.

However, after Han Zanzhou's decree is read out, he will deliberately pause for a moment before the next reward decree is announced. At that time, some ministers will jump out, which can just divert the courtiers' attention from the three reward decrees that were announced earlier. , Some of the lines they buried themselves will not make them aware, so that the subsequent overall deployment of Liaodong will be able to grasp the corresponding initiative.
