Chapter 186: Reward Issue

"Meet the king, I'm a king for thousands of years!" In Jingyang Hall, the ministers saluted Deng Sheng. Today is the first major dynasty meeting after the Jingnan news came. This time the dynasty meeting was discussed in the reward of the southern expedition army.

"You guys are exempted from courtesy!" Deng Sheng raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, King!"

"Report to the King, the rewards for the generals and officers of the Southern Expedition will be subject to the ruling of the king." The Secretariat Cui Hao said that if the reward is below the general, the Secretariat and the Ministry of War can rule, but if the number is above the general, Deng Sheng needs to make a personal judgment. There are also Murong Ke and Li Dingguo who do not have military positions but have made achievements.

"I wonder what suggestions do the Secretariat and the Ministry of War have?" Deng Sheng thought for a while, but still wanted to hear what the Secretariat and the Ministry of War have the same constitution.

Cui Hao bowed and said, "Return to the king, the generals who need to be personally slaughtered this time include Generals of Guard Chang Yuchun, Yang Yanzhao, Generals of Navy Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Generals of Weiyuan Yue Yun, Generals of Hengye Wang Yanzhang, Generals of Jianwei Pang De, Generals of Jianwei Zhang Fei, Generals of Li Dingguo, Murong Ke, Generals of Annan Cai Mao, Generals of Anxi Huang Tong, Generals of Anxi Pang Tong, Generals of Military Advisor Yao Guangxiao and the late General of Lou Fan Wang Ce."

"Report to the king, I impeach the general of Guard Chang Yuchun. It is against the way of heaven. Please deal with the emperor with severe punishment." At this time, Gong You, the Minister of Rites, once again, had once again impeached Chang Yuchun. Since the news of Chang Yuchun killing prisoners came back, Gong You jumped the most. In the past, Deng Sheng could still suppress the war on the grounds that the war was not over and it was not appropriate to punish the general. However, if it is not dealt with now, it may not be appropriate.

Deng Sheng frowned and said, "Kong Qing, you should know that the reason why Chang Qing did this was nothing more than to reduce losses and pacify Jingnan as soon as possible. Not only did he have any mistakes, but he would have made contributions. If Chang Qing had not done the actions of Tang and Linyuan, the four counties of Jingnan would not have been pacified so quickly."

"I know what the king said, but Chang Yuchun's move did not have the orders of the king. Moreover, this move scared the hearts of the people in Jingnan, causing everyone in Jingnan to be in danger. If Chang Yuchun is not dealt with, I am afraid that the people in Jingnan will not be able to accept it. I hope the king will understand it!" Kong You was not a fool, and he also knew what the purpose of Chang Yuchun's killing prisoners was, but it did not mean that he agreed with Chang Yuchun's approach.

Deng Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He really didn't think that Chang Yuchun was wrong, but Gong Yoo was right. If he ignored this, how could he convince the people of Jingnan?

At this time, Cui Hao stepped out and said, "My king, I dare not agree with this statement by Shangshu Kong. When General Chang killed prisoners, Jingnan was not the land of our great Deng. It was because General Chang that our army could easily capture Wuling and Changsha cities in a short period of time, which minimized the losses of our army. It can be said that if General Chang had not been in the Tang Dynasty, Lin Yuan's actions would probably increase a lot."

Cui Hao has never been a ruthless person. Besides, there is nothing wrong with Chang Yuchun's approach. If it were him, he would probably have done more ruthlessly than Chang Yuchun, so he came out to refute Gong Yoo.

"Cui Xiang, you are making a point of being unreasonable. I did not deny Chang Yuchun's achievements, but if I did not deal with Chang Yuchun, how could I appease the hearts of the people in Jingnan?" Gong Yoo did not retreat because of Choi Hao's identity and still insisted on his own opinion.

"Shangshu Kong, how could the original minister be so irrational? You said just now that General Chang's killing of prisoners will help our army to pacify Jingnan. That is a merit. Since he has made contributions, why should he deal with it?" Cui Hao also retorted without hesitation.

"Okay, don't argue anymore." Deng Sheng felt a headache every time he saw these people fighting with red faces.

"Cui Qing and Kong Qing both make sense. Let's do this. I will use all the rewards from Chang Yuchun as a pension for the death of the Hunan Army soldiers who were executed by Chang Yuchun in Tang and Linyuan. How about it?" Deng Sheng prevented them from quarreling again, so he said with a final say.

"The king is wise!" Choi Ho and Gong Yoo retreated.

Deng Sheng continued: "As for other generals, although Yang Yanzhao was defeated by Chaisang, in the battle of Jingnan, he made many military achievements, so he restored his official position and was still appointed as General Zhengdong, General Zhou Yu, the navy general, and two victories in two battles, and helped our army gain a foothold in Yuzhang, and was appointed General Dingjiang, with the same name as Dingjiang, Ganning was appointed General Hengbo, Murong Ke, Li Dingguo swept Yuzhang, defeated 30,000 Hunan Army, and Murong Ke was appointed General Yangwu, Li Dingguo was appointed General Jianwu, Zhang Fei, Wang Yanzhang, Pang De, Yue Yun, and was granted land mu, gold and silver, and was awarded the title of the six divisions, Huang Tong and Cai Mao, and was awarded the title of the six divisions. As for General Wang Ce who was killed, he was posthumously awarded the title of the general Ding, and the Department of War, and was buried with the courtesy of the earl, and Pang Tong and Yao Guangxiao awarded the title of the six divisions."

"I wonder what your opinions are?" Deng Sheng said the rewards in a row, and then asked the ministers if they had any opinions.

"The king is wise!" the ministers bowed.

Since all the ministers have no objection, the next step is to arrange the personnel affairs of the four counties in Jingnan.

Deng Sheng thought for a while and said, "I will not decide the position of the prefect of the four counties of Jingnan. After you go down, you will seriously consider it. I will recommend it to the next court meeting. I will send someone to Jingnan to ask about the opinions of Chang Qing and Yang Qing. They are in Jingnan. Maybe there are also people in Jingnan. Next, I will arrange the issue of garrisons in various places."

Deng Sheng paused and continued, "The garrison in the Jiangling area is of little significance. He ordered Chang Yuchun to command the army to take charge of Jingnan, and his generals Wang Yanzhang, Pang De, Li Dingguo, and Anxi General Huang Tong guarded Jiangling. Yang Yanzhao's troops returned to Jiangxia, Yue Yun and Murong Ke's troops returned to Wancheng."

The Xiang Kingdom has already taken over, and Jiangling has no significance for stationing too many heavy troops, so Deng Sheng sent Chang Yuchun to guard the south. With Chang Yuchun, a butcher named by the Jingnan people, sitting there, the power in Jingnan secretly dared not act rashly.

After the scattered dynasty, the six ministers, except Gong You and Su Hong and the Minister of Works Liu Cheng, all surrounded Jiang Wan, and wanted to discuss with him the candidates for the prefect of the four counties. This is a rank of officials. As long as they do well and have a bright future, you will know that Kou Zhun and Bao Zheng have been the prefect. After being a prefect for several years, they will be the prefect and the censor directly. Who doesn’t want such a position?

In the class room of the Shangshu Province, Jiang Wan sat in the first place, and the left and right were the Minister of Personnel Kou Zhun, Minister of Justice Fan Zhongyan, and Minister of Revenue Hu Weiyong, who were basically the backbone of Jiang Wan's school.

In recent years, Deng State's political arena has clearly divided several mountains. The Secretary of the Central Committee Cui Hao is a foreign relative. Basically, the ones who are related to the royal family are his people. In addition, the support of Liu Cheng, the Minister of Works, was also supported by Xue Rengui, who was in charge of Yingchuan, in the army. Now he has temporarily taken charge of the Ministry of Education, and the power is the first.

The second-ranked one is the Shangshu Ling Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan is Deng Sheng's secret residence, and he is also in charge of the Shangshu Province. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice are traditional forces of Jiang Wan's faction. However, because Zhang Bin had no time to make arrangements, Kou Zhun directly took it down. Therefore, the Ministry of Personnel naturally became Jiang Wan's supporter, and there were two old friends Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao in the army.

Originally, the third one was ordered by the disciple Zhang Bin, but because of the Shangyong case, Zhang Bin was demoted to Shangyong. He had just taken office and ordered the disciple, but he went to Shangyong before he had time to arrange it. The people who were originally in the Ministry of Personnel were implicated by the Shangyong case and were cleaned up by Kou Zhun, so he can only be sent to the fourth place. However, if Zhang Bin did not return to Wancheng for several years, it is impossible to say whether his power would be cleaned up.

The one who replaced Zhang Bin's faction and became the third faction was Su Hong's faction. Su Hong was different from the Three Prime Ministers. He formed his own faction in the court as the Minister of War. He was born in the Qilin Pavilion, so many officials from the Qilin Pavilion supported him. He also had a close relationship with the army, and was friends with military leaders Yue Fei, Li Xiucheng and others, and was the head of the Military Affairs Office. At the same time, Su Hong was in charge of the Deng Kingdom's intelligence agency Mingjing.

In addition to these four mountains, there is also an old minister represented by Gong Yoo. There was originally a royal family sect. However, after the royal minister Deng Yong resigned and retired, the royal family sect lost the man who carried the tripod in the court. However, because it was a royal family, other sects did not dare to do anything to them, and they also had a good relationship with the foreign relatives.
