above the hall.
Liang Chu, Minister of the Household, and Qi Jingtong of the Daming Naval General Administration returned to the dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but none of the civil and military officials dared to raise their heads. Zhu Wencheng, the King of Lu, was executed.
However, the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty thought that this King Lu was self-inflicted. As a vassal king, wouldn’t it be good to be at ease all day long? Why be an anti-king?
Can you challenge the limits of today’s emperor? Do you really think you have Zhu Di’s ability?
I don’t even think about it, what era is it today, and what dynasty was King Yan in the past?
“Ladies and gentlemen, the rebellion of King Lu has now been subsided. I have decided to transfer Wang Shouren, who has been involved in this campaign, to the Ministry of War. What do you think?”
“Your Majesty is wise, Governor Wang’s suppression of the rebellion is entirely dependent on his personal wisdom, and he should be transferred to the DPRK!” Liang Chu reported on the prelude.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Suide from the Ministry of Industry also come forward to report: “Go back to Your Majesty, although Wang Shouren is very talented, he still relies on my Daming artillery behind him, and these are the results of His Majesty’s painstaking efforts. .”
“Therefore, this minister believes that the first credit for this rebellion should be on His Majesty’s side.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, this old Li of the Ministry of Industry, when he speaks, makes people like him.
“What Li Aiqing said makes sense, but as the emperor, I can’t be proud of myself. I have decided to give Wang Shouren the first credit for pacifying the chaos!”
“Your Majesty Shengming!”
The ministers cupped their hands and shouted together.
This was an award from the imperial court to those who had meritorious deeds. Later, many civil servants and generals poured their blood for Daming until they fought to the death.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zhu Houzhao summoned Wang Shouren alone.
“Wang Aiqing, tell me what happened these days!” Zhu Houzhao said calmly.
“Your Majesty, this time I went to quell the rebellion. In total, more than 30,000 thieves were killed. The remaining 10,000 people all surrendered. More than 160 tiger squat guns and more than 30 warships were captured.”
“In King Lu’s mansion, five million taels of silver, jade, silk and satin calligraphy and paintings were also found.”
“Humph!”
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, causing Wang Shouren to close his mouth immediately.
Zhu Houzhao angrily scolded: “A mere King Lu, with a fief near Xifengkou, can greedy ink for five hundred taels of silver, and can also assemble the Daming Navy and artillery!”
“Your Majesty, it is urgent to cut down the vassal.”
“I think so too.”
Zhu Houzhao’s expression softened a little, and continued: “As for the soldiers involved in the world, how should we deal with them?”
Wang Shouren hesitated for a moment and said, “Go back to your majesty, if anyone picks up weapons to resist, the minister has ordered all the soldiers to arrest them.”
“I think…” Wang Shouren said halfway, looking up at Zhu Houzhao.
“Wang Aiqing, but it doesn’t matter, I won’t blame you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“The minister thought that all the people who were mainly involved in this rebellion would be killed, but some soldiers were only afraid of the pressure of the vassal king, and most of them were still reluctant to rebel. To show His Majesty’s tolerance.” Wang Shouren said in a low voice.
Zhu Houzhao did not directly answer Wang Shouren’s reply, but lowered his head and thought.
The huge Hall of Mental Cultivation seemed extremely quiet, and Wang Shouren seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heartbeat.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao said, “Well, what Wang Qing’s family said is right. I have decided to be a gracious and merciful king just like my father. I will play what you say!”
Wang Shouren got up, cupped his hands to Zhu Houzhao and said, “If Your Majesty is like the late emperor, to be a gracious and merciful monarch, it will be my great blessing!”
“By the way, your suppression of the rebellion this time has made great contributions to my Daming Jiangshan Sheji. I can’t tell you just now in the courtroom. Now I want to reward you with a pill book and iron coupon to show my reward to your royal family!”
Wang Shouren quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao to thank him.
This elixir and iron coupons are only available among the founding heroes, and they are generally awarded to officials who have made great contributions. For those who have made great achievements in the future, they can only be rewarded with fiefs or titles.
But this time, it was the only time in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty that it was rewarded to ministers with great merit during the Zhengde period.
Yu Qian was the only one who could enjoy such honors before, but Yu Qian was unlucky at that time, and he didn’t get a good result in the end.
“Be flat!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report to Your Majesty. This time, thanks to Ji’an’s dispatch of troops to suppress the rebellion, we can ensure the successful progress of this rebellion.”
“Also ask Your Majesty to reward Ji’an Governor Wu Wending for his meritorious deeds!”
“Wu Wending?” Zhu Houzhao said softly, looking at the burly man sitting beside him.
However, Wu Wending’s throat had already raised his throat excitedly when he heard these words at this time.
He didn’t even think that he was lucky enough to send troops, and he still had the mentality of playing, and he never imagined that he would eventually become a hero to suppress the rebellion.
He hurriedly got up from his chair and quickly climbed to Zhu Houzhao’s feet to kowtow.
“Well, let’s make Wang Wen, the prefect of Ji’an, as the third grade of the inspector of Jiangxi, with a mansion in the capital, a thousand taels of silver, and ten maids…”
“Chen thank Longen!”
After Wu Wending kowtowed several times, he exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation knowingly, and Wang Shouren also withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After a stick of incense.
The first assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, and the second assistant, Xie Qian, rushed in.
The emperor hurriedly summoned him, and he didn’t know what happened.
After the two of them finished the big ceremony, they sat on the pier where Wang Shouren and Wu Wending sat just now.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also reading through the memorial, but his face obviously looked much uglier than before.
“Show the booklet to the two patriarchs for a look!” Zhu Houzhao ordered Xiaofangzi to take the booklet and hand it to Li Dongyang respectfully.
When they saw the catalogue in the booklet, their faces showed a surprised look,
These two booklets are nothing else, they are all the money of King Lu who is greedy for ink, and there are also the details of the accounts with the officials of the DPRK and China.
These are his guilt.
Xie Qian glanced at the expenses for the silver taels on the brochure, and sighed, “It would be great if all these silver taels were used for national construction~www.mtlnovel.com~!”
They thought that King Lu’s money was the big one, but after a careful look at the booklet, they found that all the money was used to make firearms and bribe court officials in the palace.
“Prepare firearms, spend 300,000 taels of silver, and pay 100,000 taels of silver…”
“On the first month of the first year of Zhengde, I will manage Li Shi, the minister of punishment, for 30,000 taels.”
“In February of the first year of Zhengde, the current magistrate Wang Lun, five thousand taels.”
“…”
There are clear records on each account. A rough calculation shows that the expenses for lighting the igniter only cost nearly five million taels in one year.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who had a frosty face, said, “King Lu has rebelled for a long time. There are historical reasons for this, but most of the money was collected from people’s fat and people’s cream.”
“The matter of cutting down the vassal is urgent. I asked the two of you to discuss it. How to deal with these vassal kings next?”
“This?”
Li Dongyang hesitated for a while, and turned his eyes to Xie Qian. After all, he was a veteran of the two dynasties and had a lot of experience.
Seeing that neither of them expressed an opinion, Zhu Houzhao asked coldly, “What? Is there any problem?”
“I don’t dare to wait, I’m just worried, if I cut down the vassal rashly now, will it…”
