The magnificent hall, with dragons and tigers leaping about, was filled with civil and military officials from all over the dynasty.
In the court hall, the emperor praised Wang Xiao, and finally began to reward him: "...Wang Aiqing endured humiliation and heavy burdens for more than thirty years and sacrificed a lot for the court. Finally, he lived up to the great trust of the late emperor and recovered it without spending a single soldier. Jianghuai Mansion is truly a role model for generals in the world!"
What
An example for the generals in the world
The emperor must have been humbled by Wang Qiantou!
After hearing this, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had very good expressions: some were disdainful, some were sarcastic, and some were sneering.
Is this Shunfeng an example for generals in the world
Then every official present is known as a loyal and virtuous man!
The emperor's brain has deteriorated! Have you returned all the knowledge you learned to the Imperial Master
Can't find the word
Is he really setting an example for the generals in the world
Pooh! Bah bah bah!
All the generals in the world are like him, and Nalan Kingdom has fallen long ago!
The emperor ignored the expressions of the people in the hall and continued:
"General Wang's literary and military skills are the talent of a general! I hereby appoint you as the second-grade general of the country, commanding..."
All the civil and military officials in the court could not hear clearly what he said next!
The second-grade general of the country!
A betrayer, a rebel, a loser
Some people couldn't help but pick their ears and suspected that they heard wrongly!
Prime Minister Li immediately stood up and protested.
Are you kidding me? He, the Prime Minister, is just a genuine person!
He, a traitor, was only one level away from being equal to himself, and he was not happy about it!
This is simply an insult to him!
"Your Majesty, think twice. All the second-grade military generals have made great contributions. They are loyal and good men with literary and military skills. General Wang..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "General Wang has always been the most trusted general of King Huainan. I'm afraid he is not familiar with the military system of the imperial court! The minister thinks that he is not suitable for this important task for the time being!"
Other officials also spoke out in support:
"Your Majesty, think twice! The Prime Minister is right! This second-grade military general is related to the stability and peace of the entire Nalan Kingdom. Not just anyone can do it! Since ancient times, every second-grade general has made meritorious deeds step by step and accumulated countless results. , Wen Tao and military strategy, only those who are loyal and loyal can be successful!
General Wang had always been a general under the command of the King of Huainan. The palace of the Huainan King was in a small town. How much knowledge could a general in a small town have? I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be a general of a country! Please take back your life, your Majesty! "
"Your Majesty, think twice! It is inappropriate for General Wang to confer a second-grade military general upon his return! I'm afraid the soldiers won't accept it either! Please take back your order, Your Majesty!"
"Please, Your Majesty, take back your order..."
... ..
Many officials have come forward!
They all suspected that the emperor was suffering from convulsions, yet he actually made a lowly person and became a second-grade general!
Even the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, the Secretary of the Army of the Five Cities and others could not understand the meaning of the emperor's move.
The emperor raised his hand and signaled the group of monsters to stop dancing.
After the hall returned to calm again, the emperor said: "General Wang Xiao is the person sent by the late emperor to the Huainan Palace to supervise the Huainan King.
After more than thirty years of enduring humiliation and heavy burdens, he became a general from a soldier to the King of Huainan, and advised countless private soldiers of the King of Huainan to return from their lost ways and submit to the imperial court! Recover Huainan Mansion.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were added to the imperial court, and the military strength increased greatly! It can be seen that he manages the army well and strategizes! It’s worthy of a great responsibility! "
Prime Minister Li stood up and looked at Wang Xiao: "General Wang, you said that you were sent by the late emperor. Can you use the token as proof?"
Wang Xiao straightened his back: "There is no token, but the late emperor has a list as proof."
Wang Xiao waited for the emperor to take out the list and clear his name.
Prime Minister Li looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, since the late emperor has a list, can you show it to the ministers, so that everyone can be convinced!"
Other officials also echoed: "Yes, your Majesty, please bring out the list of late emperors for everyone to take a look at!"
The emperor coughed: "I forgot where to put the list left by the late emperor. But the list is true! General Wang, I have wronged you. I will take it out after I find the list to restore your innocence!"
The expressions of all civil and military officials in the court changed.
What do you mean by forgetting where to put it
Who believes this!
How could such an important list be forgotten.
The emperor is clearly protecting Wang Xiao on purpose!
Why is this!
General Tang was a little dissatisfied!
He personally participated in the battle to capture Nanyang Mansion.
But he only moved up a level and became a third-level general!
Now, a rebellious and rebellious person has become a second-grade military general!
A level higher than myself! Why is this? !
Is it because he is Princess Hui'an's uncle
Does King Jin intend to promote him
The emperor loves King Jin so much that he is starting to feel faint!
"Your Majesty, since the list cannot be found for the time being, it will be appropriate to wait until the list is found before granting the title! Otherwise, countless soldiers will not accept it!"
"Yes, the emperor is waiting for the list to be found, and it will not be too late to raise General Wang's rank! The humble minister will never say anything. But now that General Wang has just returned to the court, he has been named a second-rank military general, commanding twenty Wan Dajun is really inappropriate!"
... ... .
"Your Majesty, although the list can't be found, General Wang will definitely make great contributions to the dynasty due to his talent and military skills.
He has just returned to the imperial court now. Once he is familiar with the environment and the military discipline of the imperial court, it will not be too late to confer him the title of a second-grade military general after he has made great contributions! This can also convince the soldiers and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, right? "
Wen Jiarui stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, I think it is not inappropriate to confer General Wang as a second-rank military general. General Wang is already a fourth-rank military general."
Among the generals under King Huainan's command, the highest rank in the imperial court's establishment was the fourth rank.
When he comes back, he will either be transferred to the same position or promoted by one or two grades. Is there anything strange about this
Wen Jiarui felt a little angry after listening to everyone's words. What was inappropriate and what had just returned was just because the list could not be found. They felt that their uncle was a traitor and was not worthy of being named a third-grade military general!
I think the emperor is just partial!
Although he is angry, he also understands Dashi's psychology.
Lin Tingxuan then stood up: "Your Majesty, the general also believes that General Wang is worthy of his reputation as a second-grade general! Without General Wang, Huainan Mansion would not have been able to resolve the matter peacefully so quickly."
A man sacrificed his life's happiness for the sake of the court. Lin Tingxuan thought that if it were him, he might not be able to do what Wang Xiao did.
If you are not in the situation, you don’t know the difficulty of the other party!
He could never forget his generous words in persuading 200,000 troops to surrender to the imperial court!
People who don’t have family and country in their hearts cannot say such heart-tugging words!
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard that he had forgotten where to put the list.
Naturally, he understood that the emperor had probably neither found nor seen the list.
The emperor trusted him, so he appointed him as a second-grade general.
The emperor is deliberately protecting him!
