The Most Powerful Man in the World

Almost all of these people are very young, and they are all soldiers and soldiers who have made great contributions to this time of chaos. After a joint review by the Five Army Governor's Office, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei, it was determined that the military merits were not fraudulent. These dozens of soldiers were selected.

It can be said that no matter which of these people, their military exploits have not cheated, and no one dares to cheat.

Even if Xungui really had this intention, they would not dare to do anything under the eyes of Chu Yi's murderous god. Therefore, among the dozens of people, except for about half of Xungui's children, almost all of the rest They are all ordinary army lieutenants with no background.

Jinluan Palace, civil and military officials, and today's sons, it can be said that all this is like a dream for these generals and soldiers in the army.

Even the noble children among them are both excited and nervous at the moment. Except for a very few of them who can inherit the titles inherited from their ancestors, the other descendants are not much different from ordinary people at all. .

Among these dozens of people, I am afraid that only one or two people will have the opportunity to enter this hall.

Fortunately, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had taught them first, otherwise these people would have forgotten the etiquette and finally completed the ceremony of the audience.

Many officials on the civilian side looked at these dozens of soldiers and sighed in their hearts. Even an idiot could see that this was the emperor who wanted to support the honorable group of military generals.

After hundreds of years, the civil service group has spent a lot of effort to suppress the military generals Xungui group, but now seeing the military generals Xungui rising again, it is strange that these civilians have no ideas in their hearts.

The Xungui Group, on the other hand, looked at these soldiers with a smile on their face. It can be said that these soldiers are the future of the Xungui Group. This is just a precedent. As long as the emperor keeps supporting the Xungui Group, he will keep the Xungui Group for at most ten or twenty years. It is possible to reproduce the scene of rivalry with the civil service group at the time of the founding of the country.

If they really can do this, then even after death, they can go to see their ancestors.

Among the dozens of soldiers, Shi Kui should be said to have the highest position. As an official of a thousand households, Han Kun, who is as high as the commander of Wei, also made great achievements in the battle to calm the chaos, but it was only His reward will not be with these soldiers.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Chu Yi stepped forward slowly, stood in front of the group of soldiers, his eyes swept over everyone, it could be said that everyone's eyes fell on Chu Yi, or on the bright yellow scroll in Chu Yi's hand. superior.

Emperor's decree.

Slowly unfolding the imperial decree, Chu Yi said solemnly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict said: Lu Wenyang rebels, all the officers and men... specially established, the two-level titles of viscount and baron, to reward those who have meritorious service!"

Although it has been heard for a long time, the emperor has not issued an decree for a long time, so everyone is a little uneasy in their hearts.

After all, adding a second-class title is not so easy to pass, especially in the cabinet, it will definitely get stuck on this matter.

If it was said that the cabinet could not pass the decree, this decree would be inappropriate. Now that Chu Yi has read the imperial decree, as the imperial decree was announced to the civil and military officials, no one’s opposition at this moment will change the facts.

Among the hundreds of officials, many of the civil officials are like mourning concubines, and the martial arts side is naturally excited by them. The increase of the title is nothing more exciting than this for the martial arts side.

"Your Majesty Shengming, long live my emperor, long live!"

All the military lords bowed down to the emperor, although it was of no use to them to increase the title of the emperor, after all, almost all of them had titles, and it was impossible for them to take such low-level titles as viscounts and barons.

But each of them has descendants, just like these dozens of soldiers in the hall, no matter whether they are direct descendants or descendants, at least they are descendants of their noble side.

If they can get the title this time, it will invisibly strengthen the power of their nobles. Although it is a low-level title, it is still a title.Didn't you see that the civil servants were like dead parents?

Shi Kui first assisted Chu Yi in suppressing the nobles and nobles in the south of the Yangtze River, and then escorted tens of millions of taels of dirty silver. Although it was said that the dirty silver was taken away in the middle, it was not Shi Kui's fault. Later, he led the army to attack the rebels at night, which directly led to the rebellion. The collapse of the army, when it comes to meritorious deeds, is definitely the first among the dozens of soldiers present.

When Shi Kui heard Chu Yi read his name, he stepped forward, and with a squeak of armor all over his body, he bowed to the emperor Chu Yi, and then stood there respectfully.

Chu Yi glanced at Shi Kui, nodded slightly and said, "Shi Kui, an official of a thousand households, has made outstanding contributions, and he has been specially named Uncle Yi Yong, appointed as General Zhaowu, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and a hundred horses of silk and silk... "

Shi Kui couldn't help but stay there, his face full of shock, obviously he never dreamed that he could be conferred the position of earl.

You must know that this is the title of the Ming Dynasty, and its rarity can be described as rare. From the founding of the country to the present, the titles conferred by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty can almost be counted, and even the titles that have been passed down to this day are no better than those conferred at the beginning of the country. knighthood.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to obtain a title as a Ming military general.

But now, in the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven, he was even enshrined as Uncle Yi Yong, that is the position of earl, which is absolutely beyond Shi Kui's imagination, so Shi Kui was stunned.

Looking at Shi Kui, the civil and military officials couldn't help showing a bit of envy in their eyes.

No wonder they are envious, even if the civil officials suppress the nobles, but for them, it is also a yearning for the title.

It is the ultimate goal of all officials to have a great title. As a result, a military general who would never be seen in their eyes on weekdays was named Uncle Yi Yong. How could this not make them envious or even jealous.

Many people on Xungui’s side also looked at Shi Kui with a strange look. Who didn’t know that when Chu Yi went to Jiangnan, Shi Kui was a sharp knife used by Chu Yi to suppress the lords and powerful people in Jiangnan. Jiangnan did not know how many people he helped Chu Yi slaughter.

Holding such a thigh as Chu Yi, Shi Kui himself is also enough to strive, especially outside the city, he led hundreds of people to attack the rebels directly, causing tens of thousands of rebels to collapse, and directly established the overall situation, etc. Merit no one has anything to say.

Therefore, although Shi Kui's title as Yi Yong Bo is somewhat unexpected, considering Shi Kui's military exploits and the fact that he has Chu Yi as his backer, there is nothing surprising.

Seeing Shi Kui absent-minded, Chu Yi showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly and said, "General Shi Kui, don't hurry up and give thanks!"

Shi Kui reacted, and instinctively knelt down on the ground and bowed to the emperor to thank him. When he retreated, he was still in a daze. It can be seen how much excitement Shi Kui was suddenly named as Yi Yongbo.

"Chang Yu stepped forward and listened to the seal!"

Immediately, a soldier with a cloth bandage on his body stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Chu Yi.

Chu Yi looked at this man in his twenties with admiration, saying that Chang Yu was born in a British government, and he was a concubine of Zhang Lun's generation, but he was very good at martial arts. The battle of the door led his soldiers to block the rebels' charge to death. He was hit by several arrows and had no less than a dozen stab wounds and sword wounds on his body. Even Chu Yi was amazed by Chang Yu's performance.

Perhaps his military exploits were not the most outstanding among the people present, but both Chu Yi and the emperor both wanted to seal Chang Yu as Uncle Yi Wu, set a great example for the honorable side, and share the most precious cake among them. one serving.

After reading out Chang Yu's military exploits, when he heard that he was actually named Yi Wu Bo, Chang Yu's seven-foot man couldn't help shedding tears of excitement.

On the Xungui side, the British father Zhang Mao looked at Zhang Yu, who was named Uncle Yiwu, with both gratification and mixed feelings, but no matter what, everyone on the side of Xungui saw that Zhang Yu was appointed Uncle Yi, and everyone showed satisfaction. look.

"Cheng Xiangwu stepped forward to hear the seal!"

Immediately, a big man like a black tower stepped forward, and his feet shook slightly. Even Chu Yi couldn't help but glance at the other party.

This Cheng Xiangwu turned out to be a master of horizontal training outside the family, even if he was not much worse than Hu Yi, the commander of the Imperial Guard, he could completely fight against the first-rate players in the arena without falling behind.

The world is big, and there are no surprises. He was born in a family of military households. With his talent in strange power, coupled with the practice of martial arts in the army, he inherited his father's position and became an official of a hundred households. This time, he suppressed the rebels. Among them, Cheng Xiangwu killed more than a dozen generals of the rebel army, but only killed Lu Wenyang's generals, which can be said to be a great achievement.

"Edict Cheng Xiang Wu Ding Wu Bo!"

Cheng Xiangwu seems to be a reckless man, but if he is really a reckless man, how could he have cultivated the cross training kung fu to such a level? , How good are the two of Chang Yu, the whole person can't help smirking.

In ancient times, Fan Jinzhong was elected, and a single position can make people crazy, not to mention that this is a title, seeing Cheng Xiangwu smirk, no one sneered at the other party, but looked at Cheng Xiangwu with an envious look.

After being woken up by Chu Yi and bowing to the emperor, Cheng Xiangwu, who received the reward, glanced at Chu Yi with grateful eyes.

Cheng Xiangwu is not stupid, he naturally understands that if there is no Chu Yi, even if he has made great achievements, it is a great luck to be awarded the title of a viscount or a baron.

As for the title of Earl, it is absolutely impossible to have anything to do with him, but this time he was actually named Dingwu Count, and Cheng Xiangwu knew exactly who pulled him.

For people like Cheng Xiangwu who have been in the military for many years and have long been accustomed to seeing the power of various relationship networks, Cheng Xiangwu knows very well what choices he should make.

Therefore, even in the presence of civil and military officials, Cheng Xiangwu still gave Chu Yi a big gift to express his gratitude.

If you were a normal emperor, you might be unhappy because of this, but Zhu Houzhao didn't get angry because of it. Instead, he felt that Cheng Xiangwu's actions were a gift of gratitude.

Without Chu Yi's recommendation, Cheng Xiangwu would not have been enthroned as an earl. For Cheng Xiangwu, Chu Yi was like his reborn parents.

Even many officials looked at Shi Kui and Cheng Xiangwu at this moment, and they all had a thought in their hearts, should they hug Chu Yi's thigh.

The next ones will be viscounts and earls. Although it is said that the first person to be named a viscount is a little disappointed, after all, if there is another earl, he may be the new earl, but it is obvious that even in the To a certain extent, the imperial title of the title has been released, but the meaning of the emperor is obvious. The high title is still firmly controlled, and it is definitely not bad.

The birth of dozens of viscounts and barons definitely injected a very strong force into the noble side.

You must know that these new viscounts and barons are not as vacant as those princes, but they do not have much control in the army.

Most of these people are generals in the army, and they all lead more or less soldiers. Coupled with the emperor's reward for his merits and deeds, many people's positions have been promoted.

Dozens of viscounts and barons were in charge of tens of thousands of troops and horses in the Beijing battalion, and they directly or indirectly commanded about half of the troops of the Beijing battalion.

These people got the emperor's seal, which can be said to be the most reliable loyalty to the emperor. Through these people, Zhu Houzhao easily completed the mastery of the capital's army and horses.

You must know that the emperor wanted to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city before, except for the emperor's personal guards among the twelve guards such as Yulinwei, Jinyiwei, and Jinwuwei, the movement of other soldiers and horses must be approved by the five army governors and the Ministry of War before they can be mobilized. Although I dare not say that the ** was overridden by the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, it is actually not much different.

But now, even if Zhu Houzhao did not pass through the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, he only needed an imperial decree to go down. I believe that these new viscounts and barons are absolutely under the orders of the emperor.

[Although it is a little late, there will be updates in a while, please ask for a monthly pass. 】

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Dozens of newly born earls, viscounts, and barons retired first, and then the Son of Heaven held a banquet for them to celebrate, which can be said to be extremely graceful.

With the departure of these people, the hall was empty, and the nobles, both civil and military, looked at Zhu Houzhao who was sitting there. Since the rewards were completed, the next step must be the punishment of the rebels.

Even though the Son of Heaven had appeased the civil and military forces from the very beginning, when it was time to decide how to deal with Lu Wenyang and other rebels, many people couldn't help but feel their hearts swayed.

Lu Wenyang had been sitting in the position of the Governor of Caoyun for so many years, not to mention how many officials in the DPRK and the central government had been bribed.

He heard Chu Yi say: "Come here, bring all the letters collected from the army!"

Many people's hearts suddenly burst, and many people's faces suddenly turned pale.

I saw a soldier from the Imperial Army carry a cloth bag in.

Chu Yi stepped forward and opened the bag, and hundreds of letters were scattered all over the place. Chu Yi glanced over the people present and said, "Everyone, these are the exchanges between Lu Wenyang and many officials in the court that were found from Lu Wenyang's army. letter."

Feeling Chu Yi's gaze, many officials sweated coldly on their foreheads.

However, Chu Yi changed his voice and said, "Your Majesty is merciful and thinks that some officials among you did not participate in the Lu Wenyang rebellion, so you will not be held accountable for the past. For these letters, His Majesty also ordered Chu to be present in front of him. Everyone's faces are on fire!"

Many people had a look of surprise on their faces when they heard the words, and there were also people with guilt on their faces. In any case, even other officials who had no connection with Lu Wenyang felt the kind of generosity of the emperor at this moment.

Although it means to imitate the predecessors, it is like Cao Cao. Under what circumstances did he burn the correspondence between his officials and Yuan Shao. Compared with Cao Cao's situation at the time, Zhu Houzhao's current situation is much stronger than Cao Cao.

At least one point, even if Zhu Houzhao really caught these people and condemned them one by one, it would not cause Daming to fall into chaos, but Zhu Houzhao still chose to give these people a chance, which is the expression of the Lord of Mercy.

In the brazier, hundreds of letters were thrown into the brazier without even being opened.As the letter turned to ashes, the worry in the hearts of many officials also dissipated, and there was a natural expression of gratitude in the eyes of the emperor.

Zhang Mao stroked his beard, took a step forward, and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty Shengming, God bless my emperor!"

"Your Majesty Shengming, God bless Huangming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming, God bless Huangming!"

The voice of the mountain echoed in the hall, and Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the top, had a flushed face. Ever since he ascended the throne, he had never felt that the officials surrendered to him like this.

You must know that in the past, officials often remonstrated him that this was wrong, and that was wrong. When he wanted to do something, officials immediately jumped out. Even in the eyes of many officials, Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, could not see a trace of respect. .

Just like this, the heart of a young man was deeply stimulated, and he even felt a sense of fear about living in a deep palace, so he built a leopard room outside the Forbidden City as his permanent residence. land.

But now, all the officials respectfully bowed to him, and he finally saw the kind of reverence that a courtier should have for the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao was filled with emotion for a while.

His eyes involuntarily turned to Chu Yi, who was standing aside.

In order to restore the majesty of the emperor, he once picked up Liu Jin to fight with hundreds of officials, but ended in failure, but Chu Yi brought him a great surprise.

The trip to the south of the Yangtze River was nothing, but after returning to Beijing, Chu Yi first reorganized the four guards of Tengxiang, and then suppressed Huang Huai, Huang Kui and others, and even set a big picture, which led to the outbreak of Lu Wenyang, a huge hidden danger. , It can be said that all kinds of things here depend on Chu Yi to have today's scene.

Although Zhu Houzhao knew in his heart that this was just a transformation of civil and military officials, if he really wanted to reshape the majesty of the emperor, he still needed to continue to work hard.

Standing aside, Chu Yi seemed to sense the emperor's gaze, and looked at Zhu Houzhao, who happened to meet Zhu Houzhao's gaze.

Feeling the grateful look in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, Chu Yi just smiled at the emperor without saying anything.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Chu Yi with a smile, and looked away from Chu Yi to look down at the civil and military officials who were bowing to him, and waved his hand: "All the ministers are exempted from the ceremony and flat!"

When Baiguan got up, he heard Zhu Houzhao say, "The Qing family might as well discuss how to deal with Lu Wenyang and others?"
