Only Emperor Chongzhen had the right to decide to do this. Different locations determine different ideas. Therefore, for Wu Zhaoyuan, if he thought he was a fool, it would be embarrassing for him.
However, other emperors may not have thought of it. Only Emperor Chongzhen, who traveled from later generations, would think of this trick very naturally. He'd be a fool if he didn't think of it!
At this time, on the battlefield, with the help of the Kunming defenders, most of the rebels who tried to escape were basically intercepted. The war didn't start, it just ended.
After Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the battlefield, he said to the courtiers in front of him: "We will leave Kunming City to you, and I will leave the external matters to you. We will discuss matters when the army arrives tomorrow!"
"Wei ministers accept the decree!" When these civil servants and generals heard this, they all responded in unison.
Afterwards, Ma Xianglin, Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu were responsible for cleaning up the affairs outside the city, while Wu Zhaoyuan, Mu Tianbo and Qin Liangyu accompanied Emperor Chongzhen and led the hussar battalion soldiers into the city.
Following Emperor Chongzhen, Mu Tianbo was extremely happy. He originally thought that after the emperor's imperial commander arrived in Kunming, he would be responsible for the money and food of the imperial army. Under Mrs. Song's persuasion and warning, he had already endured the pain and prepared for a heavy bleeding.
Unexpectedly, when the emperor arrived in Kunming, so many rebels were destroyed. This was really not a good thing for him!
In addition, the emperor's chariot arrived in Kunming in person. As the master of the country, he immediately surrounded Emperor Chongzhen with a smile and kept introducing the situation in Kunming. After entering the city, of course he also guided the emperor to live in the palace of the prince. Otherwise, the place where the emperor lives cannot be worse than that of other princes, right?
Before the emperor arrived, Mrs. Song had already received the news, and she and the whole family were waiting for the emperor at the gate of the palace.
Suddenly, the ground was full of people kneeling outside the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion.
Madam Song, she is a little older than Wu Zhaoyuan. A long-lived old man, no matter what era he is in, will be respected by everyone, and Emperor Chongzhen is no exception.
He cordially expressed his condolences to Mrs. Song for her health, and saw a group of direct relatives of the Duke of Guizhou coming forward to see him. Emperor Chongzhen listened for a while and found that Mu Jianping was not there, and then he came to his senses. This Mu Jianping was just a fictional character.
Later, at the insistence of Emperor Chongzhen, Mrs. Song was not allowed to move. Instead, Mu Tianbo's yard was used as the temporary residence of the Holy Master, and Jin Yiwei took over it.
Setting off from the capital two years ago, we finally arrived in Kunming, the spring city, and could have a good sleep on a real ship. Emperor Chongzhen did not summon anyone else. Anyway, the matter was out of the way and he was ready to take a good rest.
Of course, some routine things still need to be done. For example, in addition to Ma Xianglin who originally had a Class A eavesdropping seed, other important figures including Mu Tianbo, Qin Liangyu, Long Zaitian, Wang Yangzu, Wu Zhaoyuan, and even Mrs. Song were also rewarded with a Class C eavesdropping seed. seed.
The reason why even Mrs. Song wanted to be rewarded was, of course, that before arriving, Jin Yiwei had reported everything that Mrs. Song had done to Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, since the eavesdropping seeds were idle anyway, I was rewarded with one.
After nightfall, before going to bed, Emperor Chongzhen followed his usual practice of checking the eavesdropping system before going to sleep. Unexpectedly, this look made him feel a little funny.
It turned out that when Mu Tianbo returned from serving the emperor, he naturally went to talk to Mrs. Song. The first thing they said during the meeting, Mu Tianbo said to Mrs. Song: "Grandma, the emperor is so wise and powerful that he has eliminated hundreds of thousands of rebels. Maybe he will return to Beijing in a few days. We, the Duke of Guizhou, don’t have to spend much money on military expenditures!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Song quickly asked: "Can you mention this to the emperor?"
"Not yet!" After hearing this, Mu Tianbo immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Originally, it was agreed that our Duke of Guizhou would be responsible for the money and food for the imperial army that the emperor received. Now that my grandson sees that it will not happen in a few days, it is better to simply To be generous, when my grandson is preparing to see the emperor tomorrow, he will report to the emperor that all the money and food for all the imperial troops will be borne by the Duke of Guizhou, to show that the Duke of Guizhou is really working hard for the king's affairs! "
"Children can be taught!" After hearing this, Mrs. Song immediately nodded with a smile and said, "It is rare for the emperor to come to Yunnan, so you must serve him well and don't leave a bad impression on the emperor. Do you understand?"
The Duke of Guizhou's family has never seen the emperor for countless generations. Now that the emperor is here in person, it is an opportunity for the Duke of Guizhou. Mu Tianbo had already been taught by Mrs. Song before, so he nodded repeatedly and said: "My grandson knows, grandma will keep an eye on her and see how she behaves!"
…………
Emperor Chongzhen learned these things from the eavesdropping system and did not say much. In fact, he knew very well that around him as the emperor, he did not know how many civil servants, military officers, and nobles from the court would use their brains to curry favor with him. Of course, in the past, they wanted to fool themselves, but now, they can only flatter themselves!
Yes, let’s talk about everything tomorrow. Emperor Chongzhen thought so and fell asleep.
Sure enough, the next day, Mu Tianbo came to the emperor early in the morning to wait on him. Other civil servants and military generals also rushed over early. Relevant military information was constantly reported to the imperial court.
In the afternoon, Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, arrived at Kunming City with the elite Qin army, the chariot camp and the Yongwei camp of the Imperial Forest Army.
Therefore, a military meeting regarding the counter-rebellion was held in front of the emperor.
Of course, Mu Tianbo was qualified to listen on the sidelines. As expected, he heard that the huge Tusi Rebellion was decided by the emperor in just one meeting. The only one left who is busy is Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. According to the news brought by Zheng Chongjian, everything is going well.
On the Yunnan side, what was left, that is, the imperial officers and soldiers continued to advance south, re-established state and county management, and brought all the chieftain territories under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Hearing that things were going so smoothly, Mu Tianbo began to look for an opportunity to express his position.
No, after the military affairs came to an end, Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, went out to report to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, all of Yunnan has suffered military disasters and lost money and food. But the old minister and the Duke of Guizhou had already agreed , after the imperial army arrives in Yunnan, the money and food will be supplied by the Duke of Guizhou."
Wu Zhaoyuan and Qin Liangyu had both submitted memorials to this matter before. However, due to the chaos of war, it was not known whether the memorials had been sent to the imperial court. Therefore, Wu Zhaoyuan mentioned this matter first. After all, it is very important that soldiers and horses move forward before food and grass are used.
At this time, Mu Tianbo was overjoyed when he heard Wu Zhaoyuan mention this matter. He quickly stepped out of the queue and said loudly in a very righteous tone: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Guizhou has been favored by the emperor for generations. The imperial court guards the border areas and has accumulated some money. Now that the imperial court is in need of money and food, the general will follow the instructions of his ancestors and do his best to serve the country and be loyal to his majesty. The general is willing to use up his family wealth to serve the imperial court. The army, as well as the soldiers of the Qin army who came from afar, provided food and supplies when they were in Yunnan!"
What he said, if it were Emperor Chongzhen who said such words in the court when he traveled through time, and really had to do this kind of behavior, he didn't say it, this was definitely a nephew lighting a lantern, and the Chongzhen Dynasty was the only one to do it. With the support of other nobles, civil servants and generals, he left his name in history.
Now that the imperial court was rich, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige had reached an unprecedented height. Loyal ministers and good generals also appeared frequently, and again with such impassioned speeches, the effect was ultimately a little poor.
However, no matter what, such a performance in front of the emperor is still very worthy of recognition.
Therefore, after Mu Tianbo finished speaking, almost everyone who heard it was surprised.
Wu Zhaoyuan, Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin had discussed with Mu Tianbo before, so they knew that at the beginning, Mu Tianbo did not want to bear even the money and food for the imperial army led by the emperor. But now, not only did they say that they would bear the money and food of the imperial army, but also the Qin armies led by the governors of the three sides would have to bear the burden together. This change was so big that they didn't believe it.
After hearing this, Long Zaitian, Wang Yangzu and other people who didn't know beforehand had a very big change in their impression of Duke Qian, and they admired Duke Qian very much.
With so many troops, even if the war is over now, it will still cost a lot of money and food. What's more, according to Mr. Zhongcheng's opinion, at first the Duke's Mansion only had to be responsible for the money and food of the Yulin Army. It was the Duke of Guizhou himself who proposed that he also bear the money and food of the Qin Army. What a dedication to serving the country!
Emperor Chongzhen saw that he really expressed his stance so generously, so he didn't even mention why the Yunnan chieftain was so dissatisfied with Wang Hua. Otherwise, if so many chieftains were to be held accountable for their rebellion, the governor and the Duke of Guizhou, who were the leaders of Yunnan officials, would not be able to escape and take responsibility.
At this time, of course he must definitely encourage Mu Tianbo's behavior, so he smiled and said: "Taizu praised your ancestor very much back then. I didn't expect that after so many generations, you are still so loyal to the country. , It is indeed an example of the great Ming Dynasty!"
This one-sentence review and high rating can be said to be very rare. Mu Tianbo felt happy when he heard this, and felt that it was really worth paying this little money.
But before he was overjoyed, he heard Emperor Chongzhen say to him again: "But Mu Qing confirms, are you going to bear the Qin army's money and food as well?"
Jin Yiwei has also reported how much money the Duke of Guizhou has. Although it's not a real number, it's not that bad! It has to be said that the Duke of Guizhou has been guarding Yunnan since the founding of the country, and has become the local emperor of Yunnan invisibly. It has indeed accumulated a lot of money.
However, if he wanted to bear the money and food of the Qin army, Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that the Duke of Guizhou would behave like his father-in-law. But one is just pretending, and the other is really going through such hard work.
