When mentioning Xiao Chen, the ministers were not only amazed but also full of praise.
Chu Yanwu's expression changed slightly. Let alone destroying the Japanese country, he didn't even expect Xiao Chen to be able to repel the Japanese army that came to harass Jiangdong.
The reason why he was sent there was just a formality. What could be accomplished with the thousands of people in Dongchang?
Unexpectedly, things often go beyond expectations and actually make Xiao Chen famous!
He didn't know whether he should be happy or afraid, but he still had to behave in front of the ministers.
He smiled calmly and said: "Supervisor Xiao really lived up to expectations and lived up to my expectations of him. Such contributions are indispensable and I will give him a big reward!"
"Of course, this matter cannot be done without the support and help of Governor Wei. Everyone will be rewarded!"
After much thought, he first promoted Wei Baian to a higher position.
As for Xiao Chen...
He is already the governor of the East Factory. If you look at it purely as a eunuch, he has already reached a considerable position.
If you move it to a higher level, you can't directly replace Chen Jin as Nine Thousand Years Old, right?
Just when he was struggling, Zhang Dongyang suddenly took a step forward with vigor and energy: "Your Majesty, I believe that Jiang Du is so dedicated that he should no longer define his merit by the eunuch's reward."
Chu Yanwu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then according to what Zhang Aiqing said, what should we do?"
Zhang Dongyang said bluntly: "Since Governor Xiao personally led the troops this time and successfully destroyed the small country of Japan with his brave decision and strategic layout, he should be rewarded for his military merits!"
His voice was high-pitched and ringing.
Chu Yanwu froze on the spot, a little dumbfounded.
That eunuch has achieved military merit, what will it look like when word spreads about it?
He did not answer first, but looked at the civil and military officials, as if he wanted to get a hint of decision-making from their remarks.
For a smart man like Xiao Chen, the more manpower he has, the more dangerous he is, and he did show his ability.
At present, he has reached the peak of eunuchs, and these gold and silver jewelry are not convincing.
Regarding the reward for making great achievements this time, it also determines your own structure and attitude, so you don't want to be poked in the back.
The ministers also started talking about it.
"How can we judge rewards based on military merit? He is just a eunuch. Isn't it a bit against the rules?"
"Tragedy is dead, but people are alive. How can a person's ability be defined by his identity?"
Everyone held their own opinions, and most of the objections came from the pedantic ideas of civil servants.
For a while, no one could come up with a countermeasure. Instead, Zhao Xifeng came forward unexpectedly: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Zhang said makes sense."
"Master Gao is the master of the East Factory, so it stands to reason that the battlefield matters. But since he intervened and made meritorious service, why can't he be rewarded according to military merit?"
"The inconsistency is not justifiable, but it is also easy for others to talk about it."
Zhang Dongyang turned around and looked at him. There was not much friendship between the two.
But at this moment, their thoughts were unified.
Because in Zhang Dongyang's heart, Xiao Chen's nature is not bad.
During the time when Xiao Chen left, the phenomenon of enclosure and people's livelihood became more and more serious.
Under his unremitting investigation, he discovered that these things were related to the emperor in front of him. If the emperor was unkind, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Chen's warning to him?
There are some things that cannot be found even if they are investigated, and the person behind them cannot be shaken by his status.
At that time, he knew that Xiao Chen was threatening him.
But after his own personal investigation, he discovered that things were far from being as simple as imagined.
Although he is loyal to the imperial court, his original intention is to serve the people. If the imperial court loses its essence, he will not sit still and wait.
Helping Xiao Chen at this moment is not only because I am impressed by his strength, but also because I want to prepare for the future.
If Chu Yanwu really squeezed the people, he might not continue to stick to his true intentions in this place.
At least Xiao Chen still has kindness towards the people in his heart. Maybe he can rely on him to continue the justice in his heart.
Two big figures appeared one after another, one in culture and one in martial arts, which actually put Chu Yanwu in trouble.
The suggestions made by the two people are not groundless, they are both well-founded and contain persuasive truths.
After careful consideration and under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials of the court, Chu Yanwu compromised.
"That's all. Now that Japan has just been destroyed, there are many things that need to be managed."
"Since Xiao Chen has taken the initiative to ask for orders to stay there, I will accept the post of General Zhendong with him and guard Japan!"
Xiao Chen is now famous, and many people regard him as a proud role model.
If I don't show some sincerity, I'm afraid it will be easy to follow the truth.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Chen Jin felt extremely unwilling.
"Your Majesty, if you make him General Zhendong, wouldn't it encourage that boy's arrogance?"
"His identity is still a mystery. After taking Japan, he refused to remove his corpse and resurrect it. He actually took the initiative to stay there and continue to guard it. There are really too many doubts in it!"
Chen Jin felt depressed.
Chu Yanwu glanced over with a cold look: "What's the use of talking about this now?"
"Who would have thought that Xiao Chen could have such extraordinary abilities? He could shake a giant tree with a small worm, and he would actually accomplish something!"
If he had known that he was so powerful, Chu Yanwu would not have agreed and allowed him to destroy Japan, but he ended up in a dilemma.
However, after weighing the left and right, he still sighed: "There is no need to worry too much about this matter."
"Even if I grant him the title of general, it will only exist in name only. I will not give him a single soldier."
"If he really wants to establish himself in that place and develop his own strength, he won't be able to do so quickly.
Chen Jin quickly said: "What does your Majesty mean?"
"Japan has just been destroyed, and he occupied the magpie's nest. I'm afraid there are many interested parties who want to kill him and restore the old country. Do you think that if this person dies in an accident...?"
Chu Yanwu's cold smile made people feel uneasy just looking at it.
At this moment, he was truly murderous.
Xiao Chen can take Japan, but if he stays there and doesn't come back, it's enough to show that its core has changed.
If a powerful person does not have absolute loyalty, as an emperor, how can he rest assured?
Only the dead can make people feel at ease most easily!
Chen Jin suddenly realized it and quickly said: "No need to understand, make arrangements now!"
The imperial edict was spread to Jiangdong and Qinhuangdao respectively.
"General Zhendong, congratulations. This battle was really beautiful, and you will rise to the top."
"It's unprecedented for a eunuch to reach such a level, and it's unprecedented!"
The eunuch who conveyed the message was somewhat flattering, and Xiao Chen also rewarded him with some money, and then said humbly: "My father-in-law is joking, no matter how powerful he is, he relies on the emperor's reputation."
"When you get to a high position in the future, don't forget to say a kind word to me."
