Chapter 40

Jiajing is so stubborn and so urinary. He insists on doing whatever the ministers don’t let him do. Logically speaking, it is necessary to clarify the matter of Zhang Manzi beating Ding Rukui, but Jiajing doesn’t, so he has to force it, regardless of the opinions of the ministers.

After the imperial edict arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jie, as the Minister of Rites, was stunned and rewarded Zhang Hao as the Count and Lu Anbo. This is the most difficult thing for the Lord of the Ming Dynasty to be granted. Zhang Hao is a fool and a title. What do other ministers think? He worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life, but he was not as good as Zhang Manzi.

"Sir Shangshu, do you want to read this imperial edict?" The Minister of Rites looked at Xu Jie and asked. Xu Jie also had a headache. Logically, they could reject such imperial edicts and send them to the cabinet to tell the emperor, but the eunuch who had just sent the imperial edict said that they would issue them directly and not be rejected, which made Xu Jie a little embarrassed.

"You go to the cabinet now and tell the cabinet first. Now, you should register as soon as you should, and prepare reward items if you should prepare reward items if you should prepare!" Xu Jie sat there, touched his forehead, and said to the minister.

"Yes!" As soon as the minister heard this, he went out.

Xu Jie actually envied Zhang Manzi in his heart. He was young and had been named Earl, and he didn't dare to think about anything he dreamed of. Even Yan Song did not show his reputation, but Zhang Manzi has now been named Earl.

Soon, the news reached the cabinet. Yan Song was shocked when he heard this. Slowly, the matter of Zhang Manzi's desire to be a count spread. Many ministers had a lot of opinions and started to mumble. However, in the end, they were all staring at Yan Song to see what Yan Song reacted.

Yan Song was sitting in his office at this moment. After a while, Yan Shifan opened the door and came in.

"Dad, have you heard of it? Zhang Manzi wants to be a count!" Yan Shifan just came in and shouted at Yan Song. Yan Song looked up at him, continued to lower his head, closed his eyes, as if he wanted to sleep.

"Dad, you should let the Ministry of Rites reject this imperial edict, and you cannot reward it!" Yan Shifan said anxiously.

"Why? Not to mention the fact that Zhang Manzi beat people, the emperor obviously doesn't want to pursue it. In the morning, I just sent so many memorials, all of which were impeaching Zhang Rong and Zhang Hao. In a short while, the imperial edict came out. Isn't the emperor's intention obvious?" Yan Song said with his eyes closed and his head down.

"Okay, dad, the emperor?" Yan Shifan was anxious. Once the reward was granted, it means that this time, they lost and completely lost to Zhang Rong.

"What's wrong with the emperor? The emperor has the final say in the reward! I just can't figure it out. Zhang Manzi has been awarded the title of Count. I have done so many things for the Ming Dynasty, and I have not even made any noise." Yan Song sighed and said.

"Dad, if Zhang Manzi successfully awarded this time, then, then Zhang Rong will win completely this time!"

"It was the emperor who won. How dare you not let the emperor who won?" Yan Shifan was about to say that it was Zhang Rong who won, but Yan Song looked up at him.

Yan Shifan was stunned and looked at his father.

"Tell those ministers that no further discussion is allowed at this time, including impeachment of Zhang Rong and Zhang Manzi, don't discuss it anymore, so that's it!" Yan Song said again, and Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song with even more shock.

"The emperor has no intention of dealing with Zhang Rong and his son. He even said that Zhang Manzi beat Qiu Luan and beat Ding Rukui. In the eyes of the emperor, they should bear it. As soon as Qiu Luan died, he immediately confiscated his house and committed a crime of treason! What about Ding Rukui? Do you know what crime should Ding Rukui get?" Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan and explained,

Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song in surprise and asked, "What do you mean is that Ding Rukui is going to die too?"

"Can you do not die? I have been confused these two days. The emperor has replied to Altan Khan. We asked him to reply. This is a shame for the emperor, especially after Zhang Rong came back from winning the battle, it seems even more shameful. This letter was requested by me and the ministers. Zhang Rong wanted to fight.

Now, Zhang Rongying is here, do you think, can the emperor remember those things? And Ding Rukui, as the Minister of War, has no way to defend the enemy, so he can only stand firm in the capital, and let the outside of the capital be destroyed by the Tatars. Who is the account? It is also Ding Rukui, who continues to help Ding Rukui. The emperor even needs to clean up together." Yan Song was sitting there at the moment, and said in a very calm tone.

"This!" Yan Shifan was surprised, but he didn't expect it to be the result.

"In the afternoon, I will send someone to send a gift, congratulations to the Duke of England!" Yan Song told Yan Shifan.

"Uh!~" Yan Shifan couldn't accept it, so he asked himself to congratulate him.

"What happened to Lu Bing recently? There is no news at all. We have fallen down. What are the benefits of him?" Yan Song continued to look at Yan Shifan and asked.

"I don't know, maybe I'm busy!" Yan Shifan shook his head and said.

"I'm busy investigating Qiu Luan and Ding Rukui! He doesn't tell us about such things. If he told us, these impeachment memorials would not be sent to the emperor. He even said that we shouldn't have attacked Zhang Rong at the beginning. In this case, Zhang Manzi might not be able to be awarded a title, at most he would be promoted.

And now, it is not a good thing for Lu Bing. The emperor promoted Zhang Manzi to the Qianhu of Jinyiwei and walked in Yuxi Palace. Humph, Lu Bing is no longer trusted now!" Yan Song said with a sneer.

"This, Lu Bing lets Zhang Manzi go so easily?" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song in disbelief. Yan Song looked up at Yan Shifan.

"Please make it clear to my father!"

"Does he dare? Dare to touch Zhang Manzi? Zhang Manzi is an earl, a person around the emperor, or he has just been transferred. Lu Bing dares to take action unless he wants to die!" Yan Song said softly at Yan Shifan.

"That's true, but Zhang Manzi will have a hard time in the future! Lu Bing will definitely not let him go in the future." Yan Shifan nodded and said.

"When will he deal with Zhang Manzi? Lu Bingke's words don't have the final say, and we don't have the final say. Remember, don't provoke him in the future! Stay away from him as much as possible!" Yan Song told Yan Shifan,

This time he admitted defeat. In fact, as soon as the imperial edict came out, he knew that he and Zhang Rong lost in this battle because the emperor was on Zhang Rong's side. If he continued to fight like this, he might be investigated. Therefore, Yan Song wanted to stop and stop fighting!

On Xu Jie's side, Xu Jie waited for almost an hour, but there was no news from the cabinet. Xu Jie smiled and knew that Yan Song had admitted his conscience and dared not continue to fight.

"Are the things ready?" Xu Jie asked the officials beside him.

"It's been ready!" the official next to him nodded.

"Then go to the Duke of England!" Xu Jie stood up and walked outside.

Zhang Hao was bored at home and lay on the table with a book in front of him, while Zhang Li was sitting opposite him.

"Hurry up, read a book, believe it or not!" Zhang Li stared at Zhang Hao fiercely at this moment. Now his legs were shaking and it was still sore.

Zhang Hao lay there, looked up at Zhang Li: "Brother, if you can catch me, I will let you suck it. If you can't catch you, don't talk. Read books, I'm reading books? I'm the one who can understand books?"

"Is that brother the martial arts practitioner? Why are you arresting me to practice martial arts?" Zhang Li shouted unhappily at Zhang Hao. Zhang Rong and his wife, and Ding Yu, were sitting not far away, and when they heard the conversation between the two brothers, they couldn't help laughing.

"Who asked you to practice martial arts? I asked you to exercise. Brother, if you don't believe it, you can exercise with me for a month, and I promise you will exercise yourself in the future." Zhang Hao still lay there and said.

"Go to you, dad, mom, have you noticed that the second brother has talked too much, and he didn't talk so much before!" Zhang Li looked up at Zhang Rong and his wife and said.

"Well, my dad also discovered it. Maybe it was because he slapped his head last time and opened it!" Zhang Rong said while touching his beard. He had discovered it a long time ago, which was a good thing, so Zhang Rong didn't mumble.

"Second brother, but it's true?" Zhang Li looked at Zhang Hao happily when he heard this.

"I'm bored, brother, is there anything I can pass the time?" Zhang Hao didn't want to talk about this, so he couldn't tell them that I was traveling through time, who would believe me?

"Let's go, let's listen to the song?" Zhang Li was very happy. If his younger brother was not stupid, he would have an extra right-hand assistant. The so-called brothers in war, father and son fight. In the future, the British Duke will inherit the war and he will not be able to fight, so he can take his younger brother there.

"The Emperor asked us to wait at home, where are we going?" Zhang Rong stared at them and warned. Zhang Li was speechless.

Zhang Hao's chin was pressed against the table, and he squinted his eyes when he smiled.

"You, you bastard!"

"Dad, he called you a rabbit!"

"Do you want to die?"

"Dad, I don't mean that, I'm scolding him!"...The father and son were chatting with him at home, and Xu, who was beside him, was also looking at them happily. These three men were the three people he loved the most in his life. Unfortunately, it would be great if there was one more grandson.

"The imperial edict has arrived!" At this moment, a shout came from the door.

"Quick, open the middle door!" Zhang Rong stood up excitedly when he heard this, and the servants immediately started to get busy.

"Meet the British Duke!"

"Hello, Lord Xu!" Xu Jie and Zhang Rong bowed at the same time.

"Congratulations to the Duke of England, let's set up the incense table. The emperor has an imperial edict!" Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Okay, hurry up, set up the incense table!" The British Duke turned his head and greeted the people around him. Soon, the incense table was set up, and Xu Jie arrived in front of the incense table.

"Zhang Yuande accepted the order!" Xu Jie shouted.

"Ah, my, I will accept the order!" Zhang Hao did not expect that the order was for him, and then the whole family knelt down.
