From sunrise to sunset to starry sky.
In Wuying Hall, there were quarreling sounds from time to time.
Sometimes, over a small standard, the six cabinet ministries would quarrel fiercely. If it were not for the emperor's presence, they would all quarrel face to face.
Chongzhen is very satisfied with this atmosphere. He is not afraid of noise, but is afraid of running out of ideas.
At midnight, Chongzhen stood up and said: "My dear friends, thank you for your hard work today. This is the new military merit system.
Tomorrow we will arrive at Wuying Palace at the right time. We will go through it again and make sure it is correct. Then we will print it into a book. After the award ceremony, it will be circulated to the commanders and envoys of Jiubian and all provinces! "
Everyone dragged their exhausted bodies away from Wuying Palace. Although they were very tired, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.
A new military service system has opened up their thinking and horizons. They now have ideas for many things that they could not figure out before.
Early the next morning, in the Wuying Hall, everyone reviewed the new military merit system revised yesterday three times word for word.
After everyone confirmed that it was correct, Chongzhen handed the manuscript to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, send it to Dongchang and have it printed there. It must be kept secret, at least not leaked before the award ceremony!"
After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen looked at everyone again: "If you have nothing to do, then leave!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, Sun Chengzong stood up: "Your Majesty, there are still three days left for the award ceremony. How should Yuan Chonghuan handle it?"
"Yuan Chonghuan?"
Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, not only Chongzhen was stunned, but also the officials were stunned.
He actually forgot about Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao.
But then a strange look appeared on everyone's faces. Yuan Chonghuan was the first person in Ji Liao to face Jian Nu directly.
There were no soldiers from Liaodong in this award ceremony, which was a bit of a slap in the face.
Chongzhen frowned: "Then let him go and pick him up in the morning of the award ceremony and let him participate in the award ceremony."
"I obey the decree!"
"Let's all disperse!"
Everyone slowly exited Wuying Palace.
In the next few days, the people of Beijing suddenly discovered that Deshengmen was closed to pedestrians, and teams of sergeants were transferred out of Deshengmen to level the land.
The flat land is a hundred acres in size. A wooden stepped platform with a width of more than 20 feet and an extension of more than 30 feet is connected to the gate tower of Deshengmen.
Another day later, an army composed of several military flags arrived outside Deshengmen and stationed five miles away from Deshengmen.
It was the Wuxiang left and right guards of Kara City, the Beijing camp, the white pole soldiers and the warrior camp, as well as the two guards of the forbidden army.
Along the way from Karaqin City to Xuanfu, four or five tribes numbering in the thousands were suppressed, and a large amount of furs, medicinal materials, etc. were seized.
The most pity was that before they could reach Xuanfu, Chahar Lindan Khan's army withdrew.
Regarding the actions outside Deshengmen, the people were discussing what the imperial court was up to.
"Tsk, tsk, it's so damn luxurious. I heard that the entire wooden table is covered with sheepskin dyed red!"
"What kind of trick is the imperial court playing? The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It can't be that the emperor and the people are enjoying the moon together!"
"Appreciating the moon? Appreciating the moon with such a big pomp? Although the emperor is young, he is a wise king. How could he be so extravagant and wasteful!"
"It's possible. Didn't you see that all the chefs in the city have been recruited? Maybe the emperor wants to treat us to dinner!"
"If you think too much, it's still possible to invite the returning soldiers to dinner!"
"Hey, our emperor's actions are always shocking!"
…
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers... During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, His Majesty will hold a reward ceremony for the soldiers who went out to war.
Anyone who gets the Ming Dynasty Daily can use the admission ticket from the Ming Dynasty Daily to enter the award venue to watch the award ceremony. "
"This award ceremony is different from the past. The new military merit system ensures that you will not regret it!"
"Today the Ming Dynasty Daily is ten cents, limited to 100,000 copies, first come, first served!"
Amid the discussion among the people, the voice of the child selling newspapers rang out. Listening to the voice from the child's mouth, the people were startled, and then rushed towards the children.
As long as you can grab a newspaper, the money is easy to come by.
Tickets were distributed in newspapers for Wu Ke at the beginning of the year, potato harvest, etc., and they were not disappointed both times.
After the people got the newspapers, they were looking forward to the new terms about the new military system.
Teahouses, restaurants and other places are discussing and discussing the new military merit system, but after all, it is just some terms without specific content, and nothing can be learned even from the discussion.
But one thing is for sure: it is definitely better than the previous military merit system.
Amid this increasingly heated discussion, August 15th finally arrived.
The moment the night ban was lifted, countless people in the city rushed out of their homes with newspapers in their hands and rushed out of the city.
Even many people who got the newspapers did not return to the city last night just to grab the best viewing position.
The huge venue was surrounded by a tall and upright sergeant. People who had obtained admission tickets could only enter through entrances and after being searched. Anyone with weapons was dragged away.
The people next to him showed no sympathy at all. On such an occasion, he was carrying a sharp weapon and preparing to assassinate the emperor? It's good that he didn't kill him on the spot.
By the time Chenzheng arrived, the whole venue was already full of people.
People were standing on both sides of the high platform. Facing the Desheng Gate, there were soldiers holding long spears and light knives at their waists. About a few hundred people in the front row pulled out of an area alone.
The composition of the people inside is very strange, ranging from ordinary sergeants to general soldiers.
Everyone's face is full of anticipation and excitement. These are the soldiers who have been awarded this time.
The life they were living these past few days was simply unimaginable. The imperial court had booked several of the largest restaurants in the capital specifically to receive them.
There are people waiting on you around the clock. As long as there is no waste, you can eat what you want, drink what you want, and sleep as late as you want.
In the midst of great expectations, eighteen war drums suddenly sounded at the same time, exploding in everyone's hearts, from slow to fast, like thousands of horses galloping.
Chongzhen's Luan Jia led hundreds of civil and military officials into the arena. A moment later, Chongzhen in full imperial robes climbed onto the high platform above Desheng Gate, with hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the platform.
The first civil official is Yuan Keli, who is on duty in the cabinet. On the military attache side, the remaining four princes are not in the capital. Naturally, Qin Liangyu is the leader, and behind him is Yuan Chonghuan, who looks confused.
In the morning, the jailer brought him official uniform and asked him to bathe and change clothes. He thought it was the emperor who wanted to see him, but who knew he was here to attend some reward ceremony.
The most important thing is that he doesn't even know what this award ceremony is about.
After a salute like a roaring tsunami, Chongzhen scanned the entire scene.
"My fellow soldiers and citizens, the reason why the award ceremony is being held today has been clearly stated in the Ming Dynasty Daily.
But I still have to repeat it. In the Battle of Longjing Pass, our Ming army surrounded and killed more than 65,000 Jiannu, which can be described as a super victory..."
Before Chongzhen finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan felt as if there was thunder in his heart, and his whole mind went blank.
