As the saying goes, Wen Zuo Wu You right.
The civil officials, led by Zhao Shu and five others, and the nobles, led by several princes, stood in two rows, which looked quite neat.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the civilian officials were fine, but the military attachés immediately became short of breath.
When it comes to the prosperity and wealth of future generations, no one can be calm.
Zhu Yixi waved her hand, and Yang Le on the side immediately took out the yellow silk.
As soon as this object came out, the entire hall became much brighter.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at him.
This is glory, this is destiny, this is reward, and it is a good medicine that makes people forget about death.
"The emperor was entrusted to heaven, and the edict said: In the last years of Chongzhen, slaves were established as officials, and thieves and bandits were rampant. I imitated Emperor Taizu with my common clothes and raised troops to pacify the people. After four years, God has mercy on me. As the emperor..."
"Three people form a group, and many trees form a forest. Now I canonize my meritorious service as a commendation..."
"Since ancient times, heroes cannot be without names. Today, Zhongxing is the hero of assisting the country——"
The so-called title of meritorious officials gradually formed a tradition in the Tang Dynasty. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Zong of the Tang Dynasty awarded "Baoying meritorious officials". Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Fengxiang due to the chaos, and gave the imperial guards and soldiers the title of "Fengtian Determining Difficulties and Contributing to the Heroes".
In the Ming Dynasty, he was canonized by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang as the hero of "founding the country and assisting the movement" and Yongle as the hero of "Fengtian Jingnan".
Other meritorious officials are awarded "Fengtian Yiyun"; those who inherit the title of their father and ancestors are awarded "Qin inherits the father's (ancestor's) industry".
Civilian officers add a little more sincerity, military officers add a little more publicity, etc.
And "Zhongxing Fuguo" is the title of the hero in Zhu Yixi's era, which can well distinguish the distinguished.
At the same time, it also divided the meritorious classes. For example, those who contributed to the Jingnan War and the founding heroes generally could not get along with each other and lived separately in Nanjing and Beijing.
After the hero's name is said, it's time for the main course.
"Zhao Shu, Secretary of Military and Political Affairs, assists in military and political affairs... he has made outstanding contributions, so he is named Marquis of Feng, with an annual salary of three thousand dan..."
Zhao Shu held his head high, stepped forward with excitement on his face, put down the wat board in his hand, and kowtowed: "I would like to thank you for your kindness!"
Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty was granted the title of Marquis of Feng, which was more exciting to him than any salary title.
Others also became excited, but the martial artists were a little depressed:
Even Zhao Shu is only a marquis. It seems that there is no duke this time.
The highest one can only be a Marquis, so why wouldn't it make people depressed?
This is what Zhu Yixi did intentionally.
Although there is no war in the entire south, the huge north has not been recovered yet?
If he is made a duke from the beginning, won't it be difficult to make him a duke next?
You have to whet their appetite.
"Zhang Shenyan... is De Anbo, with an annual salary of one thousand dan."
"Yan Chongxin... is Bao Qingbo, with an annual salary of thousands of stones!"
"Feng Xianzong... is the son of Hengyang, with an annual salary of five hundred dan!"
Wow——
When it was Feng Xianzong's turn, everyone was instantly shocked.
The emperor actually changed the tradition and added a viscount.
You should know that starting from the early Ming Dynasty, in order to restrict the powerful, the second title of son and baron was abolished, leaving only the third title of uncle, marquis and duke.
This is a very severe restriction on nobles. The threshold of the earl makes it very little living water, and gradually turns into a dead water.
Zhu Yixi chose to expand the quota both to win over the troops and to facilitate arrangements.
Zhu Mou of the Staff Department, as one of his own, how could the emperor forget about him and seal Yichengzi?
Even Wang Yingxiong also caught a Yongding man.
In his mind, the duke uses the country name, the marquis uses the single name, the earl uses the house name, and the viscount and baron use the county name to make distinctions. Gu Hao
It also saves him the headache of thinking of a name.
"Set up a cabinet, with Zhao Shu as the chief assistant and a bachelor of Zhongji Palace; Zhang Shenyan as a bachelor of Jianji Palace; and Yan Chongxin as a bachelor of Wenhua Palace."
To everyone's surprise, there were only three members on the list, and neither Feng Xianzong nor Wang Yingxiong was included.
But soon after thinking about it, everyone thought it was natural.
Feng Xianzong was under thirty. If he were to join the cabinet, even if he had to pass the qualifications, he would probably be very difficult to control in the cabinet.
Seniority and age are his biggest limitations.
Not to mention Wang Yingxiong, he has been working as a governor in Sichuan and his relationship with the emperor is not very close. His qualifications and age are sufficient, but his merits are not enough.
Half of the next six ministers were promoted by the former ministers of Nanjing, and the other half were their own.
Among them, Feng Xianzong occupied the Ministry of Justice, and Wang Yingxiong was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Mou, who had always been extremely low-key, became the Minister of the Ministry of War, causing an uproar in the hall.
Everyone was puzzled, but considering that his surname was Zhu, he probably came from the clan, so they just let it go.
People who were born in the Department of Military Affairs basically stayed in the position of Minister of the Six Ministries, and they were considered to have real power, and everyone was happy.
After all, they are basically in their thirties and cannot suddenly rise to high positions.
Otherwise, Zhu Yixi could foresee that in the ten or twenty years after he became emperor, the court would definitely be as motionless as stagnant water.
The next highlight is the military attache.
"Zhu Meng, who guarded Sanguan for two years, followed the emperor into Shaanxi...so he was named Xuanhou, with an annual salary of three thousand shi!"
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Zhu Meng's eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face. Wearing court clothes, he put down the wat board and knelt down tremblingly, feeling inexplicably excited.
In the past, he, like Zhu Mou, was a gangster on the street who only needed a meal to satisfy his hunger, but now he rose up and became a marquis.
Moreover, it was obvious that the emperor had regarded him as the number one military minister. This kind of honor and status made his heart tremble.
Immediately, Li Jizu was named Anhou, Chen Yongfu was Fuhou, You Shiwei was Yihou, and Liu Tingjie was Chenghou.
These people were all out of town, so it was just a matter of reading.
Yan Guochao was the Marquis of Yong, and Li Jingwu was the Marquis of Yi.
And the commanders of the first battalion like Hui Dengxiang were basically counts. He was Huangzhou Bo, Bai Wang was Yunyang Bo and so on.
It took more than a quarter of an hour to read down the long list of names, which made Yang Le's mouth dry.
Everyone waited patiently.
Finally, the list of more than a hundred people was finally read out.
Including civil and military personnel, there are eight marquis, nineteen earls, thirty viscounts, and seventy-eight barons.
The viscounts and barons who occupy the largest number of people are generally Qian Zong and guerrillas.
So many people may seem like a lot, but in fact they are only one-tenth of the officer class.
These are enough.
The hall was already filled with joy, and everyone was basically promoted. Everyone could not restrain the joy in their hearts, grinning silently.
However, the emperor always showed his presence at the end.
He sat upright with a smile on his lips and said:
"The reward of the title is to commend you for your sacrifice and sweat. However, just like during the Chongzhen and Hongguang years, when the country was in trouble, not only did it not help, but instead rushed to surrender."
"It's time to change these shortcomings."
The old ministers in Nanjing still thought it was okay, but the old ministers in the shogunate were all shocked:
The emperor was losing his temper.
