Chapter 439 Peak Hour 2
The marquis of the regiment camp looked nervous and clenched their fists and planned to make a big deal. They asked the emperor to give a reason for dismissal, and even threatened with collective resignation. Although the cabinet did not play this trick, it was certain that the princes played this move.
The connection between the Xunqi family and the royal family is inextricably, and the military power of the Beijing camp has been in the hands of Xunqi for a long time, which is the basic attitude of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty towards the Xunqi Group. As an interest alliance of the Ming Dynasty, the interdependent relationship between the two is the premise of the stability of the imperial dynasty. Once this trust relationship is broken for no reason, It is noble to be the emperor, and it is difficult to clean up the mess.
Zhengde may not understand this point, but the empress dowager, the vassal kings of various places, and the close ministers around Zhengde are like a mirror; even if Zhengde insists on it, it is absolutely impossible.
"I think Song Nan is a suitable general, but I can't let him enter the regimental battalion to lead the troops. It's not because Song Nan's talent is not enough, but because my regimental battalion admirals are also good generals who can fight. I can't hurt their hearts for Song Nan. Although I know that several marquises are old, some people suggest that I add Exchange, but I don't think they are incompetent, and their age is not enough.
The marquis were stunned. They were full of energy and wanted to make a scene. Suddenly, the clouds dispersed and everything disappeared invisibly. Several elderly marquises burst into tears and couldn't control their emotions and trembled.
"The emperor still takes care of our family. At any time, he trusts us the most. Even Song Nan, his favorite, can't waver at all.
"The clothes are not as good as the new ones, and the people are not as good as the old ones. Although the emperor is young, he is still not confused about the big things; Song Nan is nothing. Even if he is awarded the title of marquis this time, compared with us old men and relatives, he is still just a garlic."
The marquis thought proudly and happily.
Zhang Mao said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the old minister's advice has finally been adopted by the emperor, and the old minister is not very grateful."
Zhang Lun peeked at Song Nan with an embarrassed face. He knew that the old man added this sentence to make it clear to the marquises that all this was the result of my Zhang Mao's words. Although this move could save the marquis' hearts, it greatly hurt Song Nan.
Song Nan's face remained unchanged, and he didn't even shake his eyebrows. He stood there with a faint smile on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him. The more so, the more worried Zhang Lun was. After learning Song Nan's various means, he knew that Song Nan was by no means an easy person to provoke. The old man had always regarded Song Nan as nothing and didn't care about Song Nan's feelings at all. Zhang Lun couldn't imagine what all this would bring. The only certainty is that Zhang Lun knows that Song Nan can never be despised.
Zhang Lun didn't want to see all this. He knew that Song Nan's ability was terrible. The old man said so, which pushed Song Nan to the opposite of the state mansion again. Song Nan is a person with clear grudges. What if he is his sister's husband? Such a light humiliation in public, Song Nan's nature will never stop.
From Zhang Lun's point of view, he is willing to be friends with Song Nan for a lifetime, and will never despise Song Nan as much as the old man. Zhang Lu felt this way when Song Nan was a small household, but now this feeling has been a hundred times stronger. Zhang Lun decided to make a salvage, even if he disobeyed the old man's intention, not for the sake of the little princess, but also for himself in the future.
Zhengde nodded and smiled and said, "The British public is considerate. As early as the day before yesterday, he proposed the inappropriateness of Song Nan's entry into the Beijing camp, which can be said to be forward-looking. However, what you don't know is that Song Nan entered the palace the day before yesterday to see me, and he also took the initiative not to enter the regiment camp, which is beyond my expectation."
Except for Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun, everyone was surprised, but soon they all thought they understood something. Song Nan retreated knowing that it was difficult. Knowing that this matter could not be done, it was better to make a high posture to win the emperor's favor, so that there was also a light on her face. Although this person is young, he is first-class.
"Song Nan told me that the admirals of the regiment camp are all conscientious and dedicated, which is an example for him to follow; he reminded me to have clear rewards and punishments, but also reward and punishments sometimes. I felt that he was right and sincere, so I agreed to his request.
The ministers looked at Song Nan with pity and thought to them that although you were shrewd, you got nothing in this matter. You fought desperately for several months. I heard that you were almost killed by the thief soldiers. In the end, you didn't get everything. Saying that you Song Nan is indifferent to fame and fortune, ghosts believe you. You just have nothing to do. . What's worse, the British government you are attached to also clearly does not support you. This time you are completely blind. Be your commander of the brocade guard, that's your life.
In a sneer, Song Nan stood there as usual, as if all this had nothing to do. Song Nan was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers. The more he despised and gloated the disaster, the more shocked they were and the more painful their faces. Song Nan just felt a little sad. The Wenwu of the Man Dynasty was thinking about his own likes and dislikes and his own interests, but no one came out to uphold justice, and no one cried for himself. This is what Song Nan felt heartfelt.
This is the reality, a ** naked cruel reality. Song Nan sighed at this and saw it clearly, but Song Nan was not surprised at all.
"Your Majesty, I have a report." In the chaos, someone said loudly.
The eyes of the ministers followed the sound, and more than 100 people stared at this person, which was the figure of the young master Zhang Lun. Zhang Lun adhered to the wind of Zhang Mao and never said much in the court. On major occasions, the emperor must also ask Zhang Mao for advice. It was not Zhang Lun's turn to speak, but everyone understood that Zhang Lun actually had weight. Xinpingbao saved With his achievements, coupled with the future British duke, no one dares to despise his opinion, whether in the court or in the Beijing camp.
Zhengde smiled and said, "Zhang Lun, what can I do for you? If military affairs can be postponed, the award of Song Nan and all the meritorious generals has not yet been decided.
Zhang Lun saluted and said, "I just want to say a few words about this matter."
Zhengde raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then I'd like to listen to it."
Zhang Mao frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Lun'er, what are you doing? It's not your turn to talk about this."
Zhang Lun turned a deaf ear and said to himself, "Your Majesty, I don't know how the emperor will reward Song Nan?"
Zhengde smashed his mouth and said, "I haven't decided yet. Do you have any opinions?"
Zhang Lun said: "The court should be rewarded and punished. Song Nan has made great contributions to suppressing thieves and deserves to be rewarded. Some people will think that I have a close relationship with Song Nan, so they come out to speak for him. In fact, I just stand on justice. Song Nan has the talent and outstanding merit. If the emperor does not give a suitable award, he will be criticized by the whole world. Although Song Nan is not a talent, he is also a pillar of my dynasty. If the emperor only uses titles, money, fields and other things as rewards because of various things, it is an insult to Song Nan and will also make people feel chilling.
Zhang Mao said angrily, "Lun'er, don't talk nonsense. What do you know? Why don't you retreat?"
Zhang Lun stood still, maintaining the posture of salute to Zhengde, and ignored Zhang Mao's scolding.
The civil and military officials did not expect that Zhang Lun would not make a sound, but most of them looked at Zhang Lun in a daze with their mouths open. Some people thought to themselves, "It's really strange today that the two grandfathers and grandsons of the British government did not agree."
Song Nan sighed secretly. Zhang Lun's attitude gave Song Nan a step to step down. Zhang Mao's attitude has angered him. He is hesitating his attitude towards the British government in the future. Because there is a small princess in the middle, he doesn't want to make the little princess sad. Zhang Lun's attitude determines the future relationship between the British government and himself, and the attitude of the little prince and the little princess brother and sister is enough.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to pay attention to the nonsense of ignorant children. What does he know? Everything rewarded by the emperor is a gift of commendation. What is the difference? This son is rude, and the old minister will discipline him well when he comes back. Seeing that Zhengde was also stunned, Zhang Mao hurried out to play.
"Well... I think Zhang Lun's words are quite reasonable. Why should the British scold him?" Zhengde recovered and smiled on his face.
"Zhang Lun, according to your meaning, how should I reward Song Nan?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not say anything, but I vaguely feel that I should know people to use it well in the Ming Dynasty. Song Nan has both generals and great achievements, and should make his troops work for the court."
"Oh? Since the regimental camp can't enter, is it possible to transfer the border town as a general? Zhengde smiled.
"Naturally, Song Nan is in charge of the brocade guard, and this military position must also be available in Beijing. I have a bold proposal, and I don't know whether to say it or not."
Zhengde said, "Let me listen to it."
Zhang Lun held his head and said, "There are 12 battalions in the Beijing camp, why can't they be increased to 13 regiment battalions? Liu Liu and Liu Qi's rebellion almost affected the capital, so it is also necessary to strengthen the defense of Beijing. Isn't it the best of both sides to order Song Nan to command this 13th regiment battalion?
There was an uproar in the court, Xu Guangzuo's face was full of sneering, Zhang Mao's face was full of anger and scolding, while other officials's faces were full of disbelief.
"The little prince's intention is to change the Beijing camp system, what a big tone."
"Yes, the young master is confused, isn't he? The establishment of the Beijing camp is a rule. Does it mean that one more battalion will increase one battalion? What a joke!"
"That is, the establishment of the regiment is related to the safety of the capital. What does it mean to have one more battalion? Is it purely to reward Song Nan to move the establishment of the Beijing camp? I'm afraid this little man has messed up."
"No wonder Song Nan is his brother-in-law. Naturally, he wants to be partial, but this is too ridiculous. My husband didn't dare to mention it, but he dared to say it."
"You know nothing. If it hadn't been for my husband's instructions, I would have gone home to eat two big bowls of shit, obviously a black face and a red face."
“......”
The hall was buzzing, boiling like a boiling water pot.
