Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen called out his name loudly: "Where is Wu Zhong?"
Jin Yiwei commander Li Ruolian was really envious, thinking that this call was calling him.
Under his gaze, Wu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei standing next to him, blushed, strode out of the line, came to the front of Emperor Chongzhen, and excitedly echoed: "The general is here!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wu Zhong and felt a little emotional in his heart.
In his previous life, every time he saw movies, TV shows, etc., and even in real cases, undercover agents all ended in a bad death, he couldn't help but want to scold his mother.
Why do you want to be so undercover?
Undercover work is really not something ordinary people can do! Anyway, if your psychological quality is not up to par, what should you do if your identity is revealed in a dream? To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen had thought about this issue more than once and was worried about the undercover. I can't be sure, there is really an undercover agent because this exposes his identity!
But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen had no control over the affairs of his previous life. But in this current dimension, as the emperor, who has the final say, he will never allow undercover agents to suffer unfair treatment.
Looking at the excited Wu Zhong, Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "Qing narrowly escaped death and used extraordinary courage and wisdom to go deep into the tiger's den and deal with the captives without any temptation, which provided Ming Dynasty with great help in winning the war. Support. I am very satisfied with your performance. You are worthy of being a hero of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I will give you the gold medal of the Ming Dynasty Hero as a token of encouragement!"
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Chen Baoting beside him immediately held up a small wooden box, opened it and let the emperor take out the gold medal inside. Under the winter light, it is sparkling and very eye-catching.
When Emperor Chongzhen hung it on Wu Zhong's chest, it could be seen from the obvious traces of being pulled down on the official robe that it was definitely made of gold, not brass.
Of course, at this moment, it is no longer very important whether it is real gold or not. Because the emperor said this is gold, then it is gold. And judging from the grading of medals mentioned before, this gold medal is the highest-level medal of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, this is the highest honor!
"General, thank you for your grace!" Wu Zhong knelt on one knee and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, with determination in his eyes. Anyone who saw it would not doubt that even if Emperor Chongzhen asked him to jump off the building, he would never hesitate at all.
Indeed, this is the highest honor, and Ming Dynasty only has this one now. Even in the future, one can imagine that there will definitely not be many people who can win this medal. Such an honor is enough to be used as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation, allowing future generations to know the deeds of their ancestors and the majesty of the emperor’s grace!
To be honest, Wu Zhong almost forgot. When he was ordered to go to Jianlu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Li Ruolian, found him and told him about this matter. He said that the emperor had told him that when he returned from completing the mission, he would be awarded a medal called the Ming Dynasty Hero Medal.
At that time, Wu Zhong was actually just listening. This kind of thing had never been heard of before. Besides, I don’t know if I will come back alive. Even if he came back later, he didn't take the medal to his heart. As a result, I now have a piece hanging on my chest, which is the highest level of the Ming Dynasty Hero Medal!
Others, watching this scene. Although they heard Emperor Chongzhen's words of commendation, they didn't know much about Wu Zhong. In other words, Wu Zhong's deeds are far less famous than Chen Shaoan's.
However, they could also tell from the emperor's words that the commander of the Jinyiwei did the work of a Jinyiwei spy, and every time he sent back information that was crucial to the war.
Thinking this way, they looked back and realized that it was true! In many battles, the Ming Dynasty seemed to know the enemy's deployment well. Could it be that it was all the credit of this Jin Yiwei commander?
Their idea was actually what Emperor Chongzhen wanted. Otherwise, it was all calculated by Emperor Chongzhen himself, and it was like this every time, which would be absolutely abnormal and might make people doubt that there are gods in this world. As a result, there will inevitably be obstacles to the promotion of natural science.
Therefore, he exaggerated Wu Zhong's achievements. After all, if Wu Zhong really sends the message, the day lily will be cold. But no matter what, this is the best.
Those who are willing to believe that the emperor is the descendant of the real dragon and emperor, let them continue to believe. Those who don't believe this will believe that Jin Yiwei's secret agents are absolutely amazing. In this way, if they want to do anything, they will be afraid that factory guards will listen to them, and a warning knife will be hung over their heads, so that they will not dare to act recklessly and do things that violate laws and regulations.
The awarding ceremony ended like this. Emperor Chongzhen finally gave instructions to the soldiers in the audience: "On the day of the ceremony, I want all my people to see the glory of the meritorious soldiers. You are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, and I regard you as my Glory!"
Hearing his words, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers all knelt down on one knee in excitement and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
There are thousands of words to say, but it boils down to the most common sentence: There is nothing to say about following such an emperor!
Although it seems that there are many medals issued on this school field, how many soldiers are there in the Ming Dynasty? Millions of them! Even in the capital, most of the soldiers in the capital camp do not have them. Not to mention the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, not a single piece. It can be seen that this medal is actually very rare. Walking out with it hanging on your chest will definitely make many people envy you.
In fact, not to mention other people, the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who came with him were also envious in their hearts.
For them, this kind of medal is actually similar to a civilian official's belt, mended uniform, fish bag, etc. It is a symbol of honor and status.
At that time, they did not know that the emperor was secretly preparing the medal. They only knew about this before they arrived. If I had known about it earlier, someone would probably have advised me.
Emperor Chongzhen seemed to know what they were thinking. After he returned to the palace and discussed matters in the Wenhua Palace, he smiled and said to the ministers below: "Although civil and military are different, they are both my right-hand men and they are indispensable. Military has medals, Wen, I am naturally prepared."
As soon as he said this opening statement, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall suddenly froze. Surprise, very surprise!
Seeing the surprised expressions of his ministers, Emperor Chongzhen did not bother them, and continued: "Wu is a hero medal, and Wen, I have prepared a national medal, which is also divided into three levels: gold, silver and bronze. Wait until the Jianlu are destroyed and Liaodong is liberated. On that day, I will reward you again, and at that time, you will be rewarded with the National Medal of Honor!"
The unparalleled national scholar means that there is only one outstanding figure of his generation. This is the highest level of praise for a talent. From "Historical Records: Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin", it generally refers to Han Xin.
From this we can see how important the word "Guo Shi" is. Compared with ordinary heroes, these literati with ink in their bellies naturally prefer this honorary title of "Guo Shi".
Although these civil servants in the palace probably guessed that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding who was still in Liaodong, would definitely receive this honor. However, as for the other people present, maybe if they work hard, they can get a national medal, even a bronze one!
Thinking this way, they suddenly became excited and shouted long live together in unison.
Seeing that they all accepted medals, Emperor Chongzhen threw out the regulations about medals.
I won’t go into the specific terms, but I can summarize them in three points.
First, those with bronze medals, under the same conditions, will have priority for things that are beneficial or other things.
Second, those with silver medals, on top of the bronze medals, also have the privilege of not bowing to officials before they see them.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was Taizu's rule to pay homage when meeting an official. And among officials, those who are higher than the third level must also worship. Although by this time, it was no longer very compliant. But, after all, it’s a rule, isn’t it! But if you have a silver medal, even if you are a seventh-grade county magistrate, you can treat him as a courtesy when you see the ministers in the cabinet.
Third, those who have gold medals are based on the silver medals. They do not need to salute when meeting the emperor, and they have the privilege of secretly reporting.
If those who are qualified to discuss matters in the Wenhua Hall are all important officials of the imperial court, and they don't particularly care about the privileges of bronze and silver medals, then they will definitely care about this gold medal. Everything else can be ignored. This is enough to give the emperor the right to secretly report.
Of course, some of these important ministers actually already have the authority to report secretly. But they will also envy those who have gold medals. After all, this is the highest level of honor for an unparalleled national scholar! At least within a few years, the number of people with gold medals will probably be counted on the palm of one hand. Suddenly, many of them were very envious of Lu Xiangsheng who was far away in Liaodong.
At the same time, I was also thinking about what I should do to have a chance to win the National Medal? Even if it's copper, it's fine. After all, at this time, if others don't have it, hanging it out is a status symbol!
Compared with these important officials of the imperial court, after the news of the medal spread, the people of the capital were very envious of this medal. Not only is there honor, but the privileges of medals are also very real content for ordinary people. In other words, it is a certificate of superiority to others!
All of a sudden, the people in the capital were looking forward to the upcoming ceremony, because they already knew that when the ceremony was held at the end of the year, all the decorated soldiers would line up to participate in the ceremony. At that time, you can see the medals hanging on their chests!
In fact, they didn't wait long. In a few days, the ceremony would begin. The people of the capital, as before, got up early to participate in this grand event.
