    Volume Four: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 86: Rewarding Merits and Punishing Demerits

    There was a heated debate in the court about whether it was a merit or a fault.

    At the court meeting, headed by the great scholar Yang Zihe, Huang Ligong, the deputy imperial envoy, Qiulian, the minister of civil affairs, and other officials, they believed that although Zheng Ci had made mistakes, his performance in the later period was remarkable and he should not hide his faults.  However, some ministers, including Luo Xuan, the censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Wang Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of War, held the opposite view. They believed that although Zheng Ci had made some minor achievements in the later period, due to the negligence of previous work, the flood disaster in the southeast had been caused.  Thousands of miles away, the people migrated, and even if they later performed meritorious deeds, they were far from being able to compare with the harm they caused. Therefore, these people's opinion on Zheng Ci's treatment was that he should be punished.

    In addition, some people, including cabinet academicians Li Donglu, Fan Xuan, Yu Lian, several ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and distinguished relatives and foreign ministers, etc., crossed their hands.  Watching from the sidelines, it seems that a neutral faction has formed, but no one knows what everyone has in mind.

    What was originally just an ordinary promotion and demotion of an official actually led to the emergence of two distinct opinions in the court. At the beginning, there were some argumentative arguments, but in the later stage, there began to be mixed words, even scolding each other and other rude behaviors. The situation was very serious.  A sign of getting worse.

    Seeing the quarrel between the two parties in the court, Emperor Qiyuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but frown.  It was an ordinary thing, and it was over after going through the procedures, but no one expected that it would stir up such a wave.  Emperor Qiyuan subconsciously did not make an immediate conclusion. Instead, he listened to the remarks of the ministers and slowly sorted out some things in his mind.

    Regarding Zheng Ci¡¯s reward and punishment, it was not worth such a big fight.  Although Zheng Ci's official position is very high on this list of merits and demerits, there are also several people at the same level or even higher than him.  Let¡¯s not talk about the two princes for the moment. Luo Tian, ??the late commander of the capital of Hannan, was named the Zhongyong Marquis without any objection. The two sons were also promoted naturally, although this Zhongyong Marquis was just Luo.  The symbolic meaning of the posthumous title is far greater than the actual meaning, but at least it is an attitude expressed by the court towards the heroes.  Similarly, Huang Xin, the commander of the Anling Right Guard, and Du Tianlin, the commander of the Xiangzhou Guard, both received corresponding awards from the imperial court.

    However, when we arrived at Zheng Ci, things suddenly became not so smooth.  At the beginning, this matter did not cause so much controversy among courtiers. Yang Zihe, Huang Ligong, Luo Xuan, Wang Yuan and others were not the first to stand up.  The first person to raise the issue was Qiulian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and the one who stood up to oppose it was Mao Xiang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.  Both of them listed a lot of general principles and explained Zheng Ci's merits and demerits before and after the flood and the rebellion since he took office in the southeast. The general context is the same, but in the details, the wording is completely different.  The events mentioned also have their own choices.  Now everyone had their own opinions and started arguing.

    Subsequently, courtiers continued to come out to support the proposal, either siding with Qiulian or Mao Xiang.  What's interesting is that in the middle of the meeting, Huang Ligong, the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, went to work, but he did not support the censor Mao Xiang who was in the same office. Instead, he stood behind Qiulian, the minister of civil affairs.  In the eyes of interested people, this move naturally represents a certain meaning.  With the participation of Wang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yang Zihe, a scholar, the level of the debate was immediately raised to a new level. Emperor Qi Yuan, who had been watching, finally felt a trace of anger in his heart and slapped the table.

    The sixth prince was loyal and had meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion. He was given a mansion and an additional salary of one thousand taels.

    The Ninth Prince was brave enough to suppress the rebellion and was given a mansion and an additional salary of one thousand taels.

    Luo Tian, ??the commander of Hannan Capital, died in the line of duty. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of First-class Zhongyonghou with a salary of 800 shi.

    Song Cheng, the commander of the capital of Hannan, had a common knowledge of Song Cheng. He had made great achievements in killing traitors and quelling chaos in battle, and was promoted to the commander of the capital of Hannan, the second rank.

    Zhang Zhong, the commander of the Han Dynasty, was responsible for defending Xiangyang in a bloody battle. Later, he personally led more than fifty scouts to pursue the rebels and relieved them in Puxia Town. He hunted down, annihilated and captured nearly a thousand of Huai Wang's rebels, and contributed greatly to quelling the rebellion.  , was promoted to the commander and magistrate of the capital of Hannan, from the second rank, and was granted the title of second-class loyal uncle, with a salary of 500 shi.

    Huang Xin, the commander of Anling Right Guards, was promoted to Si Qianshi, the commander of Hannan Capital, from the third rank.

    Ma Lin, the commander of Anling's left guard, acted inappropriately in the early stage of the rebellion, but in the later stage he fought bloody battles and made great contributions to quelling the rebellion on the Dongjiang River. He made up for his past mistakes. Although he was not punished, it was difficult to reward him. He kept his original position and decided to see his future performance before deciding on promotion or promotion.  no.

    Qian Li, the commander of the Zhongzhou Guards, was usually lazy in training and was timid and invincible in battle. As a result, the entire Zhongzhou Guards in the imperial court was wiped out. The war in the southeast was repeatedly frustrated. According to the law, he was killed.

    Tang Wei, the commander of the Xiangzhou Guards, died in the line of duty and was posthumously awarded the title of First Class Anyuan Bo, with a salary of 500 shi.

    The deputy commander made his official far away, and with meritorious service in bloody battles, he was promoted to the commander of the Xiangzhou Guards.?Envoy.

    " He Tianchang, who suppressed and governed, devoured soldiers' pay, oppressed the people, rebelled and surrendered to the enemy during the Southeastern Rebellion, and leaked the imperial military information, will be punished with an additional level of crime, and will be punished for several crimes. He will be beheaded on the spot, and his descendants will not be allowed to use him for three generations.

    He Changlin, the magistrate of Xiangyang Prefecture, failed to manage the affairs well and his corpse was left without food. He was demoted to the Tongzhi of Ganzhou and set off today to see the effects.

    Ma Santai, the commander of the Jiangnan Navy camp and commander-in-chief, led the troops in an incompetent manner and lacked military discipline, which led to his subordinates being bribed by the rebels. Internal strife in the navy once put the war situation into a passive position, and thousands of navy soldiers were killed in the battle  Although he made some minor achievements in countering the rebellion in the later period, he could not cover up his mistakes and was immediately dismissed from his post.

    Tan Yuan, the deputy commander and deputy commander-in-chief, was deprived of his salary from the imperial court, but he was colluding with foreign enemies. He turned against the enemy in the face of battle and was beheaded immediately to express gratitude to the world!  Future generations will never use it!

    It took an hour for a long list of names to be approved and announced one by one.  After a rebellion, countless people's clothes were stained with blood, their heads fell to the ground, and some were even beheaded by the whole family, and their blood was sprinkled in the courtyard!  Others, on the other hand, rose to the top, with rich clothes and red faces, becoming new figures in charge of the family in all aspects.  Ups and downs, suddenly, whether it was the courtiers in the court, the exiled officials, or the generals in charge of the troops, many new faces quietly appeared.

    Amid everyone's discussion, Emperor Qiyuan suppressed the matter of Hannan's envoy Zheng Ci.  Although many people still want to continue the discussion, the emperor has already thrown away his sleeves, and this matter can only end here today.  Everything should be settled as soon as possible. If the emperor really overturns the table, no one will be able to deal with the outcome.  Therefore, although both parties to the debate were reluctant, they both stopped talking.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In the Jingxin Pavilion, there is a golden toad-mouth incense burner, and sandalwood curls up.

    Emperor Qiyuan leaned on the soft bamboo and rattan couch with his eyes half closed, his brows slightly wrinkled, thinking about what happened in the court.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Emperor Qiyuan hasn¡¯t figured out what is going on now, then all these years of being emperor will be in vain.

    Normal promotion and demotion of officials, rewards and punishments for merit and demerits are not originally so complicated, and generally speaking they will not cause such a big disturbance.  However, this time, many people debated Zheng Ci's merits and demerits.  On the surface, there didn't seem to be anything wrong, but Emperor Qiyuan, who had been familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China for many years, and even had a deep understanding of the temperament and government habits of some ministers, clearly smelled something unusual.

    This matter is not just aimed at Zheng Ci, the chief envoy of Hannan. I am afraid that there are other purposes involved.  No matter which party is involved in the debate, its purpose is definitely not limited to Zheng Ci himself.

    Although the later addition of the great scholar Yang Zihe seemed logical on the surface, as he was the crown prince and tutor, he represented not only his own opinions, but more importantly, his  Every word, every move, every move reflects the opinion of Prince Akihito standing behind him.

    On the other hand, the reason why the imperial envoy Luo Xuan and the minister of war Wang Yuan, who stood opposite Yang Zihe, were more prominent in their opposition was probably not because they had any grudges with Zheng Ci himself.  Zheng Ci had been living in the northwest for many years and had very little contact with the ministers of the DPRK. He seemed to have never crossed paths with Luo Xuan and Wang Yuan, let alone any grievances.  In this case, there seems to be only one other reason why Luo Xuan and Wang Yuan are so opposed.

    Emperor Qiyuan thought for a moment and immediately got some clues.  But just because he had some eyebrows, these brows were frowning even more tightly.

    "Here comes someone!" Emperor Qi Yuan opened his eyes and shouted lowly outside.

    As soon as the gauze curtain was lifted, Qian Hai's figure immediately appeared in the outer room.  "Your Majesty, my servant is here."

    "Go, send someone to find Du Ning, and tell him I have something important to ask him! Go and come back quickly!"

    "Yes." Qian Hai responded, turned around, tiptoed, and walked out of the Jingxin Pavilion like flying

    "Luo Xuan Wang Yuan It seems that I have been a little neglectful this time. Unknowingly, there are quite a few people gathered together! Huh! Mingyi, Mingyi, as a father, you really don't know  What thoughts do you have? If you don't know how to restrain yourself, how do you want your father to handle himself?"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Just when the officials of both the government and the public were busy, a semi-old carriage came from outside the south gate of the capital. It entered the city in a bumpy way. In the bustling flow of people, it walked through the streets and alleys and arrived in a short time.  At the entrance of Gushi Street, he stopped in front of Jingbei Bo's Mansion.

    ???????????????????????????A thin, dark young man with a fluffy beard on his lips jumped out of the carriage.  After turning around to pay the fare, he took a few steps onto the steps in front of the house, raised his hand and knocked on the door knocker.  It was not long before someone's voice came out from inside. When the corner door opened, a boy's face flashed out.

    "Who are you looking for? Hey! Hey -" The person didn't answer. As soon as he squeezed, the young man fell to the side. Seeing this man rushing into the house covered in filth, the young man became anxious: "Hey -  ¡ªHere comes someone! Someone is breaking into the house!"

    "Shut up!" The person turned around and shouted at the boy.

    "Stop!"

    At the same time, the person coming from the front also shouted and blocked the way.
