Chapter 400: Reward

Please subscribe!

Emperor Jiajing's eyes looked over coldly: "Is there anything Yan Qing has to do?"

"No...it's okay...the old minister sues his retreat!"

Seeing Yan Song and Xu Jie's leaving behind disappearing from his sight, a sneer appeared on the corner of Emperor Jiajing's mouth, and a faint voice rang in the hall:

"Does three people become tigers? Haha..."

But then his smile froze, and then he slowly closed his eyes, trying to figure out what he really thought about today. His true view of these memorials.

Gradually, his brows frowned, and the deeper the wrinkles, he found that he was actually in conflict. First of all, he could no longer treat Luo Xin like he did before, as if there was a barrier between him and Luo Xin.

What kind of emperor was Emperor Jiajing?

He was a stubborn emperor who liked to be in power alone. If it weren't for the many disasters last year and the government and the people were regarded as a disaster year, and Luo Xin's contribution was too great, which made Emperor Jiajing excitedly forget many details. Otherwise, Emperor Jiajing would have been feeling uncomfortable long ago. How could he allow someone to escape from his control?

Especially this person still has a very light influence and appeal in the army. If Luo Xin and Ma Fang join forces to rebel, it will definitely be a huge threat to the Zhu family.

He even had a murderous intent in his heart, wanting to kill this threat to the old Zhu family in the cradle. Whether it was Luo Xin or Ma Fang, as long as these two people were executed, all threats would disappear.

However, another voice told him that he could not abandon Luo Xin like this. Just think about it, since Luo Xin appeared, he would completely solve the Mongolian in the north. If Luo Xin could solve the Southeast. From Luo Xin to the cabinet, wouldn’t he be able to concentrate on cultivating immortals?

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but smile faintly. Luo Xin seemed to be only fourteen years old, right? He is just a scholar now. Want to join the cabinet?

His eyes fell on the pile of memorials, and a feeling of boredom suddenly arose in his heart. It was his boredom with Yan Song. Since Taoist Lan was persecuted to death by Yan Song, Emperor Jiajing had a deep disgust towards Yan Song. Now he saw Yan Song playing cleverly in front of him and trying to use his personality to control him, which made Emperor Jiajing very angry.

However, his mood was influenced by these memorials, and it stabbed into his heart like a thorn.

What exactly do you want to do?

Yan Song and Xu Jie walked out of the imperial study room, and Yan Song felt a little uneasy. Emperor Jiajing's performance today was too abnormal. There was no praise or anger, and there was only coldness. This made him feel a little bad. He looked at Xu Jie and looked thoughtful when he saw Xu Jie, and then said:

"Huating, do you think that His Majesty asked us to read the memorial today, and then drove them out without asking us anything. Why is this?"

Xu Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Master of the Pavilion doesn't know. How can I know?"

The two of them stopped talking and left the palace and went home.

The second day.

All civil and military officials had already arrived at the court early. They all learned that the Jiajing Emperor would attend court today and would announce the rewards to the soldiers of the border. They stood on both sides and whispered. The people who submitted the memorial yesterday were a little uneasy. Yan Song and Xu Jie stood in front with their eyelids drooping, as if they heard those whispers.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a loud shout, Emperor Jiajing appeared in the court and walked towards the dragon throne. When Emperor Jiajing sat down, all the officials bowed together:

"Long live your Majesty, long live your life. Long live your life!"

"No gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the officials stood up again, Emperor Jiajing looked at the people who gave the memorial yesterday and asked him to reward Luo Xin highly. When the people saw Emperor Jiajing's gaze swept over, they all quickly lowered their heads. Their hearts were beating and their foreheads were so nervous that they sweated.

Emperor Jiajing's eyes fell on Yan Song again. After a moment of stopping, he looked at Xu Jie again. Finally, he withdrew his gaze and waved his hand at Huang Jin. Huang Jin took out a piece of silk and started to recite it. When Huang Jin was thinking, Emperor Jiajing stared at Yan Song, Xu Jie, and the expressions of the officials below.

In fact, this reward is mainly targeted at Ma Fang, Luo Xin, Zhao Yong, Luo Qing, Luo Sheng, Zhang Cheng and Gao Wu. There is no need for the rest to give special rewards.

When the first reward was given, the officials' hearts were thrilled. Emperor Jiajing appointed Gao Wu as the general of the garrison in Zhejiang, the fifth rank.

All the officials knew that Emperor Jiajing was preparing to move the war from north to south. He seemed to be using these people more seriously, which made Yan Party feel depressed, especially Yan Song, his body tremble slightly. This was undoubtedly because the emperor had already had an opinion of him, and fear arose in his heart. At this point, Emperor Jiajing began to alienate him.

Later, Zhang was appointed as the General of Su Song's garrison, the fifth rank. Luo Sheng was appointed as the General of Hangzhou garrison, Luo Qing was appointed as the Deputy General of Zhejiang, the fourth rank. Zhao Yong was appointed as the Censor of the Southeast Left Censor, the third rank.

At this point, only Ma Fang and Luo Xin were left. Moreover, the officials received a clear signal from the reward of Emperor Jiajing. The emperor was not very relieved of these people, because the rewards of these people were not regular and deputy, which made people think a lot.

Yan Song's spirit was also cheered up. It seemed that this thorn had been planted in Emperor Jiajing's heart. Emperor Jiajing valued the abilities of these people, but was not very at ease with them. The key was that Emperor Jiajing rewarded Ma Fang and Luo Xin.

After the reward of Ma Fang was released, Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Jiajing gave Ma Fang a heavy reward of Ma Fang, and appointed Ma Fang as the Taibao and the second auxiliary in the cabinet.

The so-called Three Dukes are the collective name of the three positions of Taishi, Taifu and Taibao of the Ming Dynasty, and the first rank. They are responsible for assisting the emperor in handling important state affairs and government affairs, with their positions of great importance. In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, appointed Li Shanchang as the Taishi, Xu Da as the Taifu, and Chang Yuchun as the Taibao. During the Jianwen period, the three public positions were removed. Until August of the 20th year of Yongle, Zhu Di, the Ming Chengzu, restored the three public positions again, but there was no real title. In the third year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, appointed Zhang Fu as the Taishi, Mu Sheng as the Taifu, and Chen Mao as the Taibao. At that time, the three public positions were almost exclusively awarded. Since the Xuande and Zhengtong period, the three public positions became empty titles, and were given additional officials to ministers of honor and civil and military affairs, and were awarded official positions.

That is to say, the three Dukes now have no right. They dismissed Ma Fang's position as governor in the north and seized his military power. As for the second assistant, it seems to be a great honor. They are in generals and ministers, but there are Yan Song and Xu Jie in the cabinet. Moreover, the Ming Shilin is very disgusted with the generals and ministers. I believe Ma Fang will be very frustrated in the second assistant.
