Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

When Wang Ciweng, Sima Guang and Pei Ji came to Ziwei Hall together, they happened to meet that Zhuge Liang was also with His Majesty the Emperor.

"Several Qing families have finally drawn up the reward?"

Li Qian looked at Pei Ji with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face: "Pei Shilang, after I ordered you that day, I thought that the result would be achieved that day, but I didn't expect you to delay until now."

He stood up, stared at the three servants, his face was slightly cold, and he walked down the steps slowly with his hands behind his back.

"I want the Ministry of War to write a letter to Jizhou that day, asking about the details of this great victory, so as to publicize their great achievements to the officials in the court and the people all over the world. I thought that the Ministry of War would draw up the reward soon and send it together with the documents of inquiry Arriving in Jizhou, I didn't expect the reward to come out, but the document left the capital the next day."

"The soldiers of Jizhou fought a great victory with great difficulty, but what they were waiting for was not a reward from the imperial court, but an inquiry from me. From this point of view, it seems that I didn't believe their military newspaper and sent someone to question them immediately. gone?"

Pei Ji was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, there was a bit of panic on his face, and he immediately bowed down and bowed down: "Your Majesty has been wronged, and I deserve death!"

The other two servants were stunned for a moment, and then followed suit.

Although His Majesty the Emperor reprimanded mainly the Ministry of War, but the rewards are still pending after so many days, is it possible that there is no relationship between the two of them?

The three of them came this time to test His Majesty's opinion, and then they went back to play games with each family and come up with a result.

But when they came up, they were reprimanded, and seeing His Majesty's attitude, if they dared to go back and discuss it, I'm afraid things would not be so simple...

"What's the result of your negotiation?"

Li Gan ignored their thoughts, and did not ask them to get up directly, but asked impatiently: "After so long, there must be an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ciweng immediately took out a document from his bosom and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the subject..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Gan took it over.

He opened it and glanced at it, then shook his head in disappointment, picked up the document and went back to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote on it, and said as he wrote: "After discussing for so many days, it's just a superficial sketch." Eucalyptus."

"What's so difficult about rewarding? Whoever has a great contribution will be rewarded more, and whoever has a small contribution will be rewarded less."

"Such a simple matter has caused the court officials to be overwhelmed. If it is spread outside, it will make people laugh..."

The faces of the three people who said these words were all dry, and His Majesty the Emperor specifically mentioned the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, which shows that he is not ignorant of what happened in recent days...

After thinking about it, Li Gan had already written the rewards quickly and threw them directly in front of their faces.

"The seal is used under Zhongshu's door, and the Ministry of War sends it to Jizhou."

"I'm going out of Beijing before I close the door today."

The three of them were taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the document in Wang Ciweng's hand. They saw line after line of approval written in a Chinese ink brush. Looking at the general idea, they were very concerned about Qin Hui, Zuo Weiwei, Wu Sangui's frontier troops, and even this The civilian husbands who allocated logistics during the war were all rewarded. …

His physique is probably according to the military report, but roughly speaking, the rewards for the generals and soldiers of Zuo Weiwei are a little thicker, which are comparable to Qin Hui's personal soldiers, and there are rewards for the frontier troops, but because these people have been in battle before. A losing streak is regarded as a crime, so it has been offset a lot.

In their haste, the three of them didn't even have time to look at it carefully, nor did they have time to think about it. Wang Ciweng wanted to say something when he saw the script on the document, but Pei Ji and Sima Guang who were on the side responded first.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your orders."

After saying that, Qiqi stood up, the former also took the document from Wang Ciweng's hand, and then the two retreated to the outside of the hall, even ignoring Wang Ciweng.

Now he didn't care about anything else, he hurriedly stood up and followed the two people, his steps were a bit hasty and embarrassing...

After they all left, Li Gan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Qin Hui, you idiot!"

Then he wanted to continue to say something serious, but after a short pause, he flicked his sleeves and returned to his desk angrily.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who had been standing by the side, finally said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin must just want to assert his prestige and power. As the chief officer of a state, his subordinates are a group of arrogant soldiers. If you can't obey All the people, we must not pass the government order, but fulfill His Majesty's expectations."

"Of course I know that he is doing this to establish his prestige. If it weren't for the fact that he was sent by the court, I wouldn't even mention him in the award document!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang didn't try to persuade him on this topic. He didn't intend to say good things for Qin Hui, but the emperor yelled at the right minister in front of him. , then a symbolic persuasion.

But Li Gan still had lingering anger, and couldn't stop being provoked.

"I don't care what this idiot does, but how can he make a fuss about the military achievements of the frontline soldiers?"

Li Gan said coldly: "You really think you can cover up the truth by telling stories in the military newspaper, and you can't hide it from everyone?"

These days, there have been many disputes between the court and China over this matter, and Li Qian is naturally not ignorant.

As for Qin Hui's hands and feet in the military newspaper, Li Qian also noticed it in the past few days.

At first glance at the military newspaper, it was full of figures of frontier soldiers, who made outstanding achievements in resolutely, luring the enemy deep, and fighting back.

But if you calm down for a while and think about it, you will find that Zuo Weiwei's contribution to it is definitely not as small as that of the frontier army. The preparations in advance, the timing of cutting off the back road, and the real fight with real swords and guns when annihilating the enemy... This is definitely not the case. Just a sentence "Break the bridge, break the enemy's road" can be overshadowed.

In all fairness, Li Gan really didn't like Zhao Kuangyi very much, but at this time, military exploits are military exploits, and the more chaotic the war, the more absolute rules must be established.

If today Li Qian turned a blind eye to Qin Hui's behavior based on his own likes and dislikes, and acquiesced in his detaining Zuo Weiwei's military merits, it must be a bad start.

Let me ask, if even the due rewards are discounted after making meritorious service, will Zuo Weiwei still be willing to fight for the court wholeheartedly?

Other soldiers from all walks of life met with Zuo Weiwei, who made great contributions to the imperial court, and won the first victory. This is the fate of the Imperial Army. Will it affect their confidence?Hold them back? …

Therefore, even if it is Zhao Kuangyi who he can't meet, there must be rewards that should be given.

In addition, at first Li Qian wanted to lower Qin Hui's reward by one level, lower than that of Zuo Weiwei and the frontier army, as a warning.

But after thinking about it, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he still didn't make up his mind to do so.

After all, this is the chief officer sent by the imperial court to lead the military affairs in Jizhou in the past, and all he can rely on is the imperial court.

If Li Qian gave him this kind of "special treatment", then the generals below would probably think that Qin Hui had no support, and might become even more presumptuous in the future.

If that's the case, Qin Hui's future work may really be impossible to carry out.

Li Ganyi was afraid that without Qin Hui's restraint, Zuo Weiwei, Frontier Army, and Fubing, Imperial Army, Frontier Army and other messy troops who arrived one after another would cause chaos if they were not restrained and unified.

The second is that Qin Hui is afraid that in order to restore his majesty, he will resort to some stupid tricks. If the soldiers below him are oppressed too much, causing them to resist, causing civil strife, and even dragging down the battlefield, then everything will be over. up.

"Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and the soldiers will be exhausted and brave."

Zhuge Liang praised from the side, but he felt in his heart that it might not be the only reason that made His Majesty the emperor so angry.

Prime Minister Qin's military report was sent up, if His Majesty really rewarded him according to what was written above, then Zuo Weiwei, who was treated unfairly, must not only complain about Qin Hui, but also feel resentful towards His Majesty the Emperor.

The frontier army who got cheap for no reason may not be grateful to the court and the emperor. On the contrary, they may feel that the court is so easy to mess with because of this, and they will be more sneaky and tricky later.

This is the disadvantage of the misapprehension of rewards and punishments.

More importantly, under the guidance of Prime Minister Qin, His Majesty the Emperor personally caused the misunderstanding of rewards and punishments.

That is to say, in order to establish his prestige in Jizhou, Prime Minister Qin dragged down His Majesty the Emperor who was far away in the capital, and split the blame with him for the irrelevant rewards and punishments. How could His Majesty the Emperor not be angry under such circumstances?

With his personality, it's fine if he doesn't cause trouble for others. How can he help Qin Hui take such a blame for nothing?
Now it can be said that it is taking the overall situation into account if it can not be written and ordered, but rewarded for military exploits.

I don't know why Qin Xiang came up with such a foolish trick. He spent a year with His Majesty the Emperor before, so he should have a general understanding of his style, right?

Inexplicably, Zhuge Liang thought of a saying, which is to remember to eat but not to fight...

Outside the palace, under the blazing sun.

After the three of Wang Ciweng left the palace, they looked at each other speechlessly.

Wang Ciweng wanted to ask the two of them why they behaved like that just now, but he couldn't say what he said. The three parties were not in the same way, and had different opinions and positions. How could he ask these two people to be of the same mind as him?

But looking down at the documents written by His Majesty the Emperor, especially that the rewards for Qin Hui's soldiers were the same as Zuo Weiwei, Wang Ciweng was a little unwilling.

"What do you two think?"

Wang Ciweng turned his head to look at Sima Guang and Pei Ji. The incident happened so suddenly that no one thought of going to the Ziwei Hall, and they decided the result directly. …

Pei Ji didn't seem to be thinking about this matter anymore, he just said: "Since Your Majesty wants to let the edict of awarding the award go out of Beijing before sunset, then don't delay any longer."

"I also ask Wang Shilang to handle it as soon as possible, and send it to our Ministry of War at the time of application. I will not accompany you any more."

After speaking, he turned around and headed south, walking a little faster than when he came.

Looking at his figure, Wang Ciweng frowned tightly.

"Pei Butang has something to do, but I don't have anything urgent right now."

Sima Guang smiled and said, "Why don't I accompany Mr. Wang to Zhongshu and the sect, and finish the process of official documents?"

Wang Ciweng was silent for a moment, but still refused: "Thank you Sima Butang for your kindness. After I go back and use the seal with Wan Shilang, I will send it directly to the door. It must not be too long, so I won't bother Sima Butang to make this trip. .”

Sima Guang was rejected, and he smiled and stopped insisting, but turned around and left.

On the other side, Pei Ji hastily returned to the Ministry of War.

Just now when Sima Guang and Wang Ciweng saw that he didn't care to say anything, they left directly, thinking that Pei Ji had been reprimanded by His Majesty the Emperor and couldn't keep up, so he came back directly.

But in fact it is not the case.

Although being an official in the court requires you to pay attention to face and have integrity, you must also know how to distinguish between objects and occasions. If you make mistakes and insist on self-esteem indiscriminately, you will only make your own path narrower and narrower.

Of course Pei Ji understood this point. The reason why he lost his composure just now was because he thought of another matter.

In fact, Pei Ji was very confused and puzzled when he was questioned by Li Gan just now.

After coming out of Ziwei Hall with Li Jing that day, he and Lu Yin also divided the work according to His Majesty's orders.

Pei Ji went to discuss the reward with Zhongshu Sheng and the Ministry of Rites, while Lu Yin was in charge of the latter matter and asked Jizhou in writing.

After the work was divided, Pei Ji never asked about Lu Yin's affairs again.After all, the two sides are colleagues rather than superiors and subordinates. If you ask about the matter over there, it will be as if you are worried that Lu Yin will not do well. If you often do this, you will easily offend others.

But Pei Ji didn't expect that Lu Yin had already sent out the inquiry document, and His Majesty the Emperor seemed to know about it...

Pei Ji didn't go back to his room, but went straight to Lu Yin's side.

"Pei Butang?"

Lu Yin, who was in the room on duty, raised his head from a table of documents and saw Pei Ji at the door, with a bit of surprise on his face.

But he calmed down immediately. Due to the many battles these days, the military department is very busy, and Li Jing is not around, so there are many opportunities for the two to communicate.

"What's the matter with Pei Butang?"

He closed the documents on the table, smiled and asked Pei Ji to sit down: "I heard that the Secretary of State and Marshal Zhao have been having a lot of trouble for rewards in recent days, has it finally come to a conclusion?"

Pei Ji paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, I just went to face the saint with Wang Shilang from the Zhongshu Province and Sima Shilang from the Ministry of Rites. There is already a result. Your Majesty has already made a plan for rewards. Today I will give you a reward." To be sent out of the capital."

A smile appeared on Lu Yin's face: "That's good, it seems that Pei Butang finally doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore."

Pei Ji didn't continue talking on this topic, but asked: "Lu Butang, your Majesty ordered you to write Jizhou a few days ago, asking about the details of Neihuang Dajie, did you do it?"

"Naturally."

Lu Yin looked at Pei Ji with some doubts, but then quickly dissipated: "Although the department is busy, how can His Majesty be negligent?"

"The next day, the official has already drawn up the paperwork and sent people to set off."

As he said that, he also noticed that something was wrong with Pei Ji, and asked with a frown, "Master Pei, what's wrong? Could it be that the matter of dismissing an official was not done properly? Something went wrong?"

Pei Ji's lips moved, and finally he smiled and said: "It seems to be a misunderstanding."
