Chapter 134 Liu Ming meets the canonized champion
"Mold rice? Pickled cabbage with bugs? How is this possible?"
Chongzhen looked at the eunuch beside him in disbelief and said, "Wang Cheng'en, I will let the silver allocated from the treasury, buy wine and meat, and reward the soldiers. What you did!"
Liu Mingyu naturally knew that Chongzhen would not do such a thing, and this kind of thing must have been done by the civil officials behind Chongzhen's back.
Sure enough, Wang Chengen hurriedly explained: "The emperor, three thousand taels of silver, a word was missing, and all of them were sent out!"
Liu Mingyu said: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. In the past few days, I have paid out of my own pocket to solve the problem of eating among the soldiers. The dozens of carrots of moldy rice and the dozens of worm-prone sauerkraut are still in the military camp. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can get someone to pull it up!"
Such a thing made Chongzhen feel dim on his face.
There was nothing trivial in front of the emperor. As Liu Mingyu was exposed, Chongzhen was furious and the matter would not end casually.
Wang Yong represented Chongzhen to investigate the matter. Wang Chengen asked someone to find a certificate of grant and a series of eunuchs who were in charge of the process.
This matter is actually not difficult to investigate, and the evidence is not obvious. Wang Yong led a team of personal soldiers of the Jinyiwei Emperor to go directly to the Liu family army camp.
Wang Chengen sneaked out all the eunuchs in charge of the affairs and asked each other one by one. It took not long for Wang Chengen to clear his suspicion.
Of course, the most unlucky one was the new Minister of War Liang Yandong. Since the Jiannu broke the pass in October of the second year of Chongzhen, Wang Qia, the third Minister of War of the Chongzhen Dynasty, who had not yet served for one year, was dismissed. Shen Yongmao, the fourth Minister of War of the Chongzhen Dynasty, took office. With more than 40,000 soldiers including Man Gui, defeated, Shen Yongmao was ordered to retire again.
The fifth Minister of War was Liang Yandong, who took office from Liang Yandong. Then during this period, because of the Tianxiong Army, Liu Zhilun's army and the Liu family army emerged, the Ming Dynasty gradually received good news. If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Yandong, the Minister of War, should have been stable.
It's a pity that the Minister of War is only the Minister of War, and Daming is actually the cabinet system. The cabinet ministers are pressing over the six ministers, and above him are actually the cabinet ministers. First of all, this time Jiannu broke the pass, and the cabinet chief assistant Han Du caused Emperor Chongzhen to be very dissatisfied. It would be a matter of time before Qian Longxi could compete for the cabinet chief assistant. So, there would be a great chance. Of course, this was just a chance, not absolute.
When Qian Longxi was in the cabinet, he strongly recommended Yuan Chonghuan as the commander of the Guanning (now Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan) army to consolidate the border defense. Qian Longxi was not only a member of the Donglin Party, but also a backstage of Yuan Chonghuan. In fact, before Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, he had a secret discussion with Qian Longxi, which means that Yuan Chonghuan received Qian Longxi's approval.
Of course, Qian Longxi made things difficult for Liu Mingyu, because to put it in a bad way, Liu Mingyu's current level is not qualified.
Qian Longxi originally wanted to find Liu Mingyu to talk about the issue of first-level transactions. He bought some first-level transactions from Liu Mingyu, so that Guan Ningjun's record would be better. If he mediated it, he might be able to rescue Yuan Chonghuan from prison.
When Liu Mingyu was invited to the banquet, Liang Yandong, the Minister of War, was also accompanied. It is said that Liu Mingyu should give face to him, and he needs to continue.
But I never thought that Liu Mingyu did not give Qian Longxi the second auxiliary to the cabinet. A doctor next to Liang Yandong was very eye-catching, and gave the subordinate a wink and signaled to give Liu Mingyu a little bit of pain.
As a result, Liu Mingyu and Liu Jiajun tasted the consequences of getting civil servants. Not only did they not eat wine and meat, but they also had to eat moldy rice and stinky vegetables.
Liu Mingyu was also a person who couldn't get into the sand in his eyes. When he got the opportunity to meet Chongzhen, he immediately sued the emperor.
then……
Liang Yandong, Minister of War, became the first person in charge.
"Liang Yandong, what you did!"
As Liang Yandong was called to the Ganqing Palace, he had not yet understood what was going on, and a few documents were left in front of Liang Yandong. He hurriedly checked and finally understood what was going on.
Seeing this, Liang Yandong also felt that Liu Mingyu had made a big fuss. Since the Tumu Fort Incident, civil officials have been superior to military officials, and military officials have been harassed by civil officials. Is it still a matter?
It would be unreasonable to say that Liang Yandong had no idea. He didn't realize that such a thing would actually sue the emperor. What's more, how could ordinary military officers have the opportunity to meet the emperor?
During this period, Wang Yong had investigated everything clearly and even brought some moldy rice and smelly sauerkraut to Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen only took a look and vomited directly.
Liang Yandong immediately knelt on the ground and claimed the crime to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I will allocate grain, rice, wine and meat for the soldiers to enjoy according to your wishes. I am not greedy for a single bit. Even if I give me a courage, I will not dare to neglect the meritorious officials of the court so much!"
Before Emperor Chongzhen could react, Wang Yong began to hand over the knife: "Your Majesty, perhaps the officials below have personal grudges with General Liu, and it may be possible to make things difficult for them on purpose."
This dead eunuch is so poisonous. On the surface, it seems that he is pleading for Liang Yandong, but in fact he is pushing Liang Yandong into the fire pit.
Have a personal grudge with Liu Ming?
Fang Xinyu took a slap in front of Liu Mingyu and turned around to complain to Liang Yandong. As the Minister of War, he was naturally a protector. He wrote an impeachment memorial immediately. The civil officials were one. Liang Yandong, the Minister of War, was in front of him. The left and right ministers, the doctors, the chief ministers, and the officials below all wrote letters to impeach Liu Mingyu.
These impeachment memorials are more than 70. Chongzhen had read them an hour ago. In addition to Liang Yandong's impeachment of Liu Mingyu, who else has personal grudges with Liu Mingyu!
Sure enough, when Chongzhen heard this, he became angry and rushed more than three thousand feet away. He pointed at Liang Yandong and shouted angrily: "Don't be the Minister of War!"
Emperor Chongzhen was extremely angry and tried every means to squeeze out some money from the treasury to conduct a military parade. Everything went smoothly, completely exceeding the expected results, but it turned out to be such a mess at the climax.
This is slapping him in the face, and I can't do it if I don't get angry.
He made up his mind to trick Liang Yandong, a short-sighted and narrow-minded idiot, who would only mess up things!
Originally, Emperor Chongzhen was so poor that he was almost as a pants. He used a meal of fine wine and food to win over the morale of the army, but it was messed up, which made Liu Mingyu feel resentful.
After dealing with Liang Yandong, it was noon.
Emperor Chongzhen patted Liu Mingyu on the shoulder and said, "It's really good. It's said that Huo Qubing was the champion of the three armies in his late twelfth year and was known as the champion marquis. You are young and not inferior to Huo Qubing. You are my champion marquis!"
Liu Mingyu felt a little strange. Emperor Chongzhen's thinking was too leaps?
Wang Yong hurriedly winked at Liu Mingyu: "Congratulations to Champion Marquis, congratulations to Champion Marquis!"
Although Liu Mingyu made great contributions, the Ming Dynasty was still very stingy with military officer titles. Of course, it would take another ten years to be over-released.
Originally, Chongzhen wanted to wait for Liu Mingyu to make some more contributions before formally promulgating the title. Now, due to the stinky vegetables and moldy rice incidents, the rewards can only be advanced.
Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to read the imperial edict, which was a commendation. Liu Mingyu's soldiers and soldiers had a reward of five taels of silver. Each of the heads received a reward of ten taels of snowflakes per level. Liu Mingyu was promoted to the right governor, champion marquis, and rewarded eight thousand taels of silver and several silks!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingyu was still very happy, although this was just a decree and had not been passed by the six ministries and the cabinet. I think the cabinet would not stop Lan. Liu Mingyu would also be a nobleman in the future.
Emperor Chongzhen asked someone to prepare for an imperial banquet to invite Liu Mingyu.
This is not a state banquet, but a private banquet. There are neither important officials of the court nor others, only the emperor and Liu Minghui.
Of course, Liu Mingyu, who likes to listen to storytelling and opera, once again acted as a storyteller, and participated in a series of battles that the Liu family army has participated since it formed, including the Battle of Liangxiang, the Battle of Xiazhuang, the Battle of Shimen Town, the Battle of Baicaoshan, the Battle of Malanyu, the Capture of Kuanhe City, the Battle of Kuanhe Defensive Battle, the Battle of Kuanhe Counterattack, and the Battle of Kuanhe Decisive Battle.
Thanks to Liu Mingyu who has read many novels in later generations, he tells the wonderful descriptions of some novels, the small battle field, and vividly.
Time passed without realizing it.
It was not until a gust of fragrant wind blew and Empress Zhou came over with ginseng soup that Emperor Chongzhen was still unsatisfied.
"Your Majesty, General Liu has not healed..."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled awkwardly.
Queen Zhou said: "General Liu..."
"Empress, I am a man named Gongchen, you can call me Gongchen!"
Empress Zhou brought the palace maids to add a few dishes to Liu Mingyu and Chongzhen. The king and his ministers sat opposite each other and chatted while eating.
Seeing that it was getting late and the story that should be heard was over, Emperor Chongzhen then got to the point: "Gongchen, I want to appoint you as the general of Datong Town, why are you reluctant?"
"Your Majesty wants to hear the truth, or is it a lie?"
When Wang Yong heard this, he felt a little tooth-ache.
This master is really brave enough to say that he tells lies in front of the emperor. Isn’t this a deception to the emperor?
Of course, Chongzhen asked: "What about the truth, what about the lies?"
"Like lies is the young discipline of the minister, which is not enough to convince the public!" Liu Mingyu said seriously: "The truth is that those civil officials are not successful enough and have more than defeat. At the beginning of the country, military affairs were exclusively appointed as military officials, and they followed the boundless troubles. Then, the court supervised military officials with civil officials. The civil officials were the governors, and the second was the governor. The officials of the Censors ordered military preparations to prepare military officials, either deputy envoys, or assistant officials, or other officials and deputy envoys. All political affairs in the world were civil officials, but civil officials…"
Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's face remained unchanged.
In order to be more convincing, Liu Mingyu asked: "The court used eight-part essay to select scholars, and what he said was nothing more than the thirteen Confucian classics, but did there be any common tasks in these thirteen classics?"
Emperor Chongzhen pondered: "What about?"
"For example, if the weather is dry and there are many people and few fields, I will try my best to build canals and drill wells, turning wastelands that were not suitable for cultivation into fertile fields; for example, I will take rotation according to seasonal changes, plant a variety of crops a year, and make full use of the land; for example, I will find ways to raise more livestock, accumulate manure, and increase the fertility of the land, instead of just fighting for the strength of the land! The advantage of this is that even if the wheat planted by me loses its harvest, I can still rely on potatoes and soybeans to support the people and soldiers; even if the potatoes of me lose their harvest, the flax planted by me can minimize the losses, and even make a small profit. In this way, the income that I can bring is ten times theirs!"
Emperor Chongzhen murmured to himself: "Why no one has taught me these things? There is no in the book..."
"Haha, how can books have such things? Because those who write books are nerds who are not in the world, and those who are not in the world are nerds who are not in the world. They don't know how miserable the people are, and they don't know how hard it takes to eat a bowl of rice and a bowl of noodles. Of course, they don't bother to know that they only have the so-called way of saints in their minds! But can the way of saints produce food? Can they produce clothes?"
