Nanjing, in the Imperial Study Room of the Ming Imperial Palace.

After hearing what Liu Zongzhou said, Zhu Yousong showed an unhappy expression and said with a back sleeve: "Liu Qing, Shi Kefa is an important official of the current dynasty and a veteran of the cabinet. How could he do something to lie about military affairs and deceive the emperor and the emperor?"

Liu Zongzhou raised his hand and pinched his chin that was almost dislocated in shock, and bowed: "The old man knew that he was guilty, and he was too surprised. Please forgive me for his fault."

Zhang Shenyan, Minister of Personnel, Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, and Right Censor Zhang Shenyan stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Shi is a minister who knows very well. Even if his head can be cut off and blood can flow, he will never lie about military affairs and deceive the emperor."

Gao Hongtu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, held the tablet and said with a puzzled look: "How did Lord Shi, a scholar, defeat Duoduo with just a few thousand people? It's really incredible!"

Ma Shiying remained silent and quickly read the memorial handed over by the emperor. Then he handed his hands to Lu Jiude, holding the tablet and bowing towards Xiaoling: "It turned out that Taizu showed up, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were blessed, and the country of the Ming Dynasty was finally saved!"

"Sir Ma, tell me what's going on?"

Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu, Liu Zongzhou and other three ministers all looked puzzled and asked Ma Shiying in unison.

After hearing Ma Shiying finish the content of the memorial, Zhang Shenyan, Gao Hongtu, and Liu Zongzhou were half-believing and half-doubted about Taizu's dream, who would dare to question these old men who have been obsessed in the officialdom for many years?

Immediately bowed to the southeast Xiaoling Mausoleum and said, "It turned out that Taizu showed his spirit, and the god-given chariot, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty is expected!"

Ma Shiying said with a stern face and a serious face: "It's not just Taizu's appearance, but Lin Zhenjiang said that the other late emperors, including Chengzu, have appeared together. Only then did this unfavorable iron-armored chariot come to the world, helping us to re-establish slaves and defeat Duoduo, a dog thief!"

Zhu Yousong was quite displeased when he heard several cabinet ministers praising the late emperor together.

The victory of the war was all due to our ancestors, and it had nothing to do with me, the current emperor? This is not possible. I have to pull the topic back and put gold on my face.

Zhu Yousong straightened his lower body and coughed, "Although it was Taizu's dream, the late emperors showed their souls, but the greatest contribution was due to Shi Kefa's advice. Lin Zhenjiang was brave enough. They are all my good ministers!"

Liu Zongzhou was the first to understand and hurriedly bowed: "Of course, Your Majesty is in Nanjing, stabilizes the morale of the army, and is recognized by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and then a magical weapon came to the world. In terms of merit, Your Majesty is the first merit."

"Haha... Liu Qing's words are wrong!"

After being flattered by his minister, Zhu Yousong was in a good mood and stroked his beard and said, "If you want to talk about credit, I have something. I think the greatest credit is to know people and be good at placing them. I appointed Master Shi to Yangzhou to take charge, so that today's great victory..."

Zhu Yousong became more and more excited as he spoke. He stroked his hands and flew across the table, and shouted loudly: "Just Liu Bang said, I am not as good as Shi Qing in terms of military use, and Lin Qing in terms of killing enemies, but I am very wise to know people... Just like Liu Bei is just a mat and footwear seller, but if he uses Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others well, he can be as good as Cao Aman. I feel that he has some similarities with them!"

Among the four cabinet ministers present, Zhang Shenyan was the oldest. He was nearly 70 years old at this time. He served as officials in the Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties. No one in the Southern Ming court was right. Moreover, Zhang Shenyan was upright and could not stand Zhu Yousong's style. At this moment, he couldn't help but curse himself in his heart when he heard this.

"Bah... How can you, a playboy royal family, be comparable to Liu Bang and Liu Bei? If you weren't for the glory of your life, how could you be worthy of being ranked among the top 1000 people? Not to mention Liu Bang and Liu Bei, you are much worse than the two emperors Xizong and Sizong!"

"The bandits broke through Beijing, and Sizong could still die for his country, but you are fine. Before the Tartars' army arrived in Yangzhou City, I heard that you ordered the palace maids to clean up their fine and soft things and prepare to escape. At this moment, they came out shamelessly to seek credit?"

Zhang Shenyan became more and more angry as he thought about it. He sighed in his heart: "If I had known that King Fu was a Liu Adu who could not help him, I should have listened to Shi Kefa's words and established King Lu as the throne and supervised the country."

Seeing that Zhang Shenyan's expression was not kind, Zhu Yousong felt guilty and hurriedly called out: "Haha... I'm just a joke. How can I dare to compare with Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Zhaolie? The most important contributions are naturally Shi Qing and Lin Qing. They must be rewarded this time, a great reward!"

Zhu Yousong rolled up his sleeves and whispered: "This... I think, Shi and Lin should all be promoted to the third level to show their honor and commend their merits."

"His Majesty!"

Ma Shiying stood up to remind, "Mr. Shi is already the Minister of Rites, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace, the Supervisor of Yangzhou, and the second rank of the dynasty. How can he be promoted to three levels in a row..."

Zhu Yousong also realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly changed his words: "What I said is that Lin Zhenjiang was promoted to three levels in a row, so Shi Aiqing will give him a lord."

Ma Shiying smiled slightly and bowed: "The greatest contribution to the Yangzhou victory was Lin Zhenjiang. The Shige Department only needs a little reward, but Lin Zhenjiang is far from enough to upgrade to three levels!"

Ma Shiying finally climbed to the position of prime minister of the cabinet, and his biggest competitor was Shi Kefa. Naturally, he would not let Shi Kefa become an official and climb to his own head.

The two evils are the least. Although he knows that Lin Yu is Shi Kefa's nephew, Ma Shiying would rather choose to increase Lin Yu's title. He is now just a deputy guard from the sixth grade, and even if he is promoted to level five, he is only a fourth grade.

Zhang Shenyan stroked his gray beard and said, "What Lord Ma said is very true. Lin Zhenjiang has made such a great contribution and his position is so low. Even the promotion to three levels is not enough to demonstrate his contribution."

"What official position is Lin Zhenjiang currently in?" Zhu Yousong touched the bridge of his nose and asked angrily.

"If you say goodbye to your Majesty, Lin Zhenjiang is now appointed as the deputy garrison of Yangzhou." Ma Shiying bowed and replied.

Zhu Yousong frowned: "What kind of official is the deputy garrison? How high are they lower than the ministers?"

Zhang Shenyan snorted in his heart and bowed: "The deputy garrison is from the sixth rank. Everyone present is a second-rank official. How high is His Majesty thinking he is?"

Zhu Yousong comforted his heart and said, "It seems that Lin Zhenjiang's official position is indeed very low. He has made such a great contribution this time. What do you think should you reward him?"

Zhang Shenyan is the Minister of Personnel, in charge of promotion of officials and personnel assessments. Although Lin Yu is a military officer, the Ministry of Personnel still has the right to inquire. "Your Majesty, Lin Zhenjiang has made amazing achievements. I believe that he should be promoted to the third rank, right?"

"High, high!"

As soon as Zhang Shenyan finished speaking, Ma Shiying immediately stood up to object, "Although Lin Zhenjiang's contributions have been great enough, it has jumped from the sixth rank to the third rank, and has been promoted to the seventh rank in a row. This is an unprecedented strange thing!"

Zhang Shenyan snorted coldly: "But Lin Zhenjiang defeated Jiannu alone, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and killed one Qing Beile. Such a magical achievement is unprecedented."
