Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

After settling the fleet, Lu Mou responded to the request of Yu Minzhong and Zheng Hongkui and led them to Beijing to meet the saint and the supervising country.

When the two earls came to the capital, they were greeted by ministers five miles away and treated with courtesy. Yu Minzhong and Zheng Hongkui were deeply moved. This is enough to show the respect the supervisor has for his ministers.

Being is currently recuperating in Nanhai, so he issued an order to recruit Lu Mou to accompany the two of them as if they were in Nanhai.

There was no time to wash up, so he went directly to Nanhai Zibi to see Chongzhen and the governor.

Walking into Zi Nuan Pavilion of Nanhai, I saw Chongzhen lying on the bed and Jian Guo sitting beside the bed.

The two quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Chongzhen and paid their respects to the prisoner.

Chongzhen said kindly on the bed: "I have a leg problem, which makes it difficult for me to walk. Don't blame me, my dear friends. I ask the prince to supervise the country and help me."

This apology immediately moved the two people who had met Chongzhen several times to tears.

Originally, when did Chongzhen treat his ministers with such courtesy? Forget about apologizing, just give you a few words of reprimand, that’s fine.

It is rumored that the Holy Emperor is coming to court, and it is indeed true.

He was helped up by the prince, and Chongzhen gave him a seat and tea.

Chongzhen apologized again: "My two dear friends are alone abroad guarding the country's borders. I owe you and those soldiers a lot. I am sorry for you."

Just this sentence immediately opened the floodgates of grievances the two of them had endured for more than ten years. They involuntarily left their seats and fell to their knees again, sobbing, and all their grievances were vented with tears.

Jian Guo and Lu Mou helped the two men up again.

It took a long time for the two of them to hold back their tears and report: "I know that the court is in a difficult situation. We can still pack some wild food outside and share the burden for the country. Now we see that the Ming Dynasty has been reborn from the ashes under the leadership of the Holy Emperor. If there is prosperity and rebirth, it should be congratulated by the Holy Emperor."

Chongzhen shook his head gently: "I was originally guilty of caring, and I was too picky and harsh in my treatment of my ministers. After the test of life and death, the destruction of my country and my family, I came to a complete enlightenment. If I am the Holy Son of Heaven, then I am the common people and ministers of the world. Regardless of what I have done before, the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty is due to the regent; if we talk about the revival, it is also due to the benevolence of the governor. From now on, the two beloved ministers must be loyal to the regent. "

This was Chi Guoguo's way of telling the two that he had handed over power to the regent of the country.

The two of them bowed again to accept the emperor's trust.

After the two men calmed down, Chongzhen faced the regent of the country: "Jianguo, regent."

"My son is here."

"Loyal ministers are seen in national calamity. Isn't it disrespectful to reward two loyal ministers with an earl for guarding the southern border of the country during the national calamity without a penny of supplies from the court?"

The two heard it and understood in their hearts. This was an opportunity for the father to win over the two of them, and to reward them with knighthoods.

In fact, after the Jingnan, Ming Dynasty did not easily reward people.

Although the prairie marquises are flying all over the sky now, they are just empty and have no gold content at all. For the imperial court to actually reward a count was actually a violation of the original rules.

In the Ming Dynasty, only three levels of titles were reserved: duke, marquis, and uncle, and they were strictly customized: "No title will be granted unless it is for social military merit, and no title will be granted unless it is for special purposes." There are two types of titles, one is only granted for life (not alive), and the other is It can be hereditary.

Whether in this world or not, depending on the size of military achievements, they will all be given certificates.

In addition to those with military merits, those who could receive titles include Yan Shenggong, a descendant of Confucius in Qufu, and those who were awarded the title due to their kindness, such as Prince Consort Duwei and relatives. However, they were only given titles but not coupons. One level lower than those with the same title.

The current situation is special, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that we should reopen the country. The rewards of titles will be liberalized appropriately.

But in the Central Plains, we are still cautious.

So Zhu Cixiang, the supervisor of the country, said: "The inland rivers in the southern sea area depend on Dinghaibo, and we should be promoted to Dinghaihou." Then he looked at his younger brother.

Lu Mou laughed and said: "The gateway to the northern capital, weakening and blocking the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is an important task for Admiral Yu, and he should be promoted to Zhenyuan Hou."

When Zheng Hongkui and Yu Minzhong heard this, they shed tears of gratitude and knelt down again to express their gratitude. After awarding the two people, Chongzhen said leisurely: "A few years ago, I was suspected of being seriously ill and wronged General Zheng Zhilong of the Five Tigers. This time, the entire territory of the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty was entrusted to General Zheng Zhilong. For this reason, I gave Zheng Zhilong the title of Weiyuan." Later, I will guard the sea territory for the Ming Dynasty forever."

It is an unparalleled honor to be awarded two titles in one discipline. Zheng Hongkui knelt down to thank him on behalf of his brother.

Chongzhen helped him weakly, and after he stood up, Chongzhen faced the two of them: "The national crisis has not been solved, so I will entrust the Ming Dynasty to my three beloved ministers."

Just this sentence made Zheng Hongkui and Yu Minzhong feel sour again and burst into tears.

Chongzhen, who was known for being mean and indifferent to his ministers, could now treat his ministers like this. How could it not make people feel as if they were in another world, and really feel that the Holy Emperor has arrived?

"Supervise the country."

"My son is here."

"On my behalf, I will give you a banquet for two loyal men."

"My son, I obey."

"Regent."

"My son is here."

"Elaborate on your idea for both of you."

Then he faced the two of them and said, "I am not in good health and I am tired. My dear friends, please kneel down and pay your respects."

The two of them peeked at Chongzhen, their faces glowing red and looking great. It is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so what is wrong with your health? This is because I don’t want to interfere too much with the arrangement of my two sons.

With such a changed longevity emperor sitting in charge, even though two children were in charge, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty was as stable as Mount Tai.

Under the leadership of two shrewd and capable regents, why would the Ming Dynasty not be able to revive?

God did not want to see the suffering in the world anymore, so he gave it to these three fathers and sons. Why don't we chase someone and end up being smashed to pieces?
The emperor gave a banquet, which should have been in the palace. But this time, the supervisor made the decision and chose the Regent's Palace. This not only shows that the supervisor attaches great importance to the regent's younger brother, but also makes it easier to talk and laugh.

Lu Mou whispered to his brother: "Are you trying to improve my status, or are you just not willing to pay for it?"

Jian Guo smiled: "What do you think?"

Lu Mou chuckled: "You are a little bitch."

Jian Guo laughed: "My brother has been in Tianjin during this period, planning the affairs of Tianjin Port and Tianjin City. He rarely interferes with the affairs of the DPRK. Although my brother sends people to inform the DPRK at any time, you still can't listen to the arrangements in person, which makes Brother, I'm a little confused in court."

"As long as the elder brother is stable, and with the guidance of the father, why does the younger brother need to be dictating from the side? What I like most is to do practical things."

Zhu Cixi smiled: "That's what I said, but there are too many new policies that were formulated by your hands. In terms of implementation and improvement, you still need to check the implementation. At this point, as a brother, I am more than capable. Not enough.”

Lu Mou nodded. Good policies cannot be blown away by others.

"So, taking advantage of this opportunity to give a banquet to the two candidates, I summoned all the officials in Beijing to come to your house to eat and talk. It can be regarded as a relaxed court meeting."

Lu Mou was shocked and said: "In the past, thousands of officials in Beijing came to my house and they still didn't make me poor."

"Not so much. After the last great change, most of the officials in the capital fled and dispersed. Although you were reborn in the Ming Dynasty and more officials returned, you took the opportunity to reduce and merge many yamen, and abolished many redundant officials. Now we only have more than 300 officials running the court, so you can’t have enough to eat.”

When I return to the north in two weeks, there will be many people drinking and congratulating me. As many as 300 officials from all over the dynasty gathered together in Beijing. The grand occasion was unprecedented. This made Lu Mou feel heartbroken and made him even more sure that his brother was cheating him out of money. So he told Xiao Lizi to quietly write down something for his brother.

If my brother Mingming settles the score and takes what I have, he will have to spit it out to me sooner or later with interest. (End of chapter)
