Chapter 760
When Zhao Pu proposed to cut off the generals together, he felt that two dagger-like gazes were inserted into him hard, which was really terrible. After all, he was a hero of a generation, and even if he was weak, his mighty power was not something he could resist.
Fortunately, the time was not long, Chai Rong sighed lightly, "Soldiers can be cut off, how can generals be abolished? They fought for me on the battlefield, lived and died, and made great achievements. If I settled down today, I would have all my martial arts. I can't bear it!"
I can't bear it, but I don't want to!
Zhao Pu suddenly had an idea, "I heard that the Lingyan Pavilion was almost completed, so that all the meritorious officials would be sacrificed to Lingyan Pavilion and enjoy the Taimiao, which is enough to show Your Majesty's kindness to treat the soldiers. It is also a grand event in our dynasty!"
Chai Rong was inspired, "Yes, when firearms are used in the army, the generals can not lead troops, but Lingyan Pavilion must be repaired well, and the meritorious officials must be determined... I have been thinking about who can become the first meritorious official of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Zhao Qing, do you have any suggestions!"
Zhao Pu pondered: "I called Your Majesty. According to the principle, the Champion Hou led his troops several times, whether it was to collect Yanyun, pacify Jiangnan, settle Hedong, or fight against the Western Regions, they all made great contributions. Moreover, the Champion Hou proposed the method of equalizing the fields and the national policies they provided for him... People in the world have said that if the Great Zhou Dynasty can achieve today, seven out of ten thousand of the Champion Hou's achievements!"
While he was speaking, he kept paying attention to Chai Rong's expression and found that the emperor's smile had a pause. Zhao Pu's heart was even more confident... After taking the so-called magical medicine, people were prone to hallucinations and thoughts. Shen Yilun talked about the emperor's dream, and in the middle of the night, he wrote Ye Hua's name. What was the holy intention? It was obvious!
"Champion Hou has indeed made a lot of contributions. You can go down and let the cabinet discuss it to see how to rank the rankings?" After saying that, Chai Rong yawned, and tears seemed to flow down the corners of his eyes. Obviously, it was not because he was crying, but because he needed medicine.
Zhao Pu hurriedly left obediently, and soon everyone knew about the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Who should be ranked first and who should be ranked behind, causing a lot of discussion in the capital.
But no matter what, the majority of people who support Ye Hua ranked first.
It is rare that the marquis door that has been closed has finally opened.
Prince Guo Zongxun came early, his brows were deep and his face was tense. After seeing Ye Hua, he hurriedly said: "Master, there are always some people who are under your banner recently..."
Ye Hua didn't let him continue to say anything, and waved his hand to stop him.
"Your Highness, what are you worried about now? I can only say that you must believe in the saints and believe in me as a master. Don't make any decisions about everything... Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"
Guo Zongxun's eyes flashed, "My master's words, I understand, but I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of!" Ye Hua laughed loudly, "I have experienced any storm. Your Highness just watch and think more!"
After taking a reassurance, Guo Zongxun happily left the Hou's Mansion.
Following this, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong and others.
Zhao Da straightforwardly said, "Mr. Marquis, I have no objection to you. Can you give me the second one? I have made a lot of contributions over the years!"
Ye Hua laughed silently, "Do you think you're enough?"
Zhao Da thought about it and said seriously: "Enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yongde and Han Tong raised their feet, you are shameless!
Han Tong thought about it: "Marty, the saints are disarmament, and the old and new are alternating. We are afraid that there will be no chance to go to the battlefield in the future. A Lingyan Pavilion is just a final conclusion on us. If you say something heart-to-heart, everyone wants to go forward!"
Even the good old man who has always been uncontested says this, others can imagine it.
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, the saint will have a condescending ranking. The rankings will definitely convince you and me."
A few days later, the cabinet invited all the generals to discuss matters, and even Ye Hua, they were all on the list. What was strange was that Zhao Pu did not come. The person in charge of the announcement was Chen Yilun. This guy looked quite ugly, and he seemed a little guilty, but he had to say it.
"Everyone, this time, I have tried my best to evaluate the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. I have weighed the pros and cons, asked the holy intentions, understood the opinions of the government and the public, and referred to the experience of the previous generations... In short, it is not easy."
He complained, and everyone didn't listen to this, just cared about how to determine the ranking.
Chen Yilun was long-winded and finally announced when everyone couldn't stand it. After all, ugly daughter-in-law always had to meet her parents-in-law.
When this list was taken out, everyone was blown up!
The big guy's eyes were slit and his hair was squirting, and there was no one like that bullying people!
Chen Yilun felt as if he had been stabbed countless times and became an air-permeable sieve.
He hurriedly said: "This ranking is based on the old rules of Emperor Taizong of Tang, with prime ministers as the first class, princes and ministers with high merits as the second class, and the other ministers as the third class, so that Taishi Feng ranked first!"
It's really funny. No matter how famous Feng Dao is, he can't rank first, but he just ranked... Immediately after Feng Dao, Wei Renpu, then Wang Pu, Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, Zhao Pu, Lu Duoxun, and Chen Yilun!
"Sir, do you dare to list yourself? Aren't you ashamed?" The white horse and silver spear captain Gao Huaide was the first to stand up and pointed at Chen Yilun angrily, "What did you think you did for the Great Zhou Dynasty? You dare to list before we wait?"
"Yes!" Han Tong also roared: "Wei Renpu is a guilty man. He has been dismissed from his post and returned home. How could he be ahead?"
Everyone else also yelled that the ceiling of the cabinet would be bulged open for a moment.
This list is more than unfair, it’s simply nonsense!
Ye Hua's face was as deep as water and he didn't say a word.
He remained silent, and no matter how others called it, it was useless.
Chen Yilun dared not face the generals who were like wolves and tigers, so he could only ask Ye Hua for help.
"Mr. Marquis, this list is not fabricated out of thin air, it really has some guidance!"
Ye Hua squeezed out a word from his teeth: "Speak!"
"Yes, yes!" Chen Yilun sorted out the language, "First of all, Master Feng is highly respected and made him ranked first, which is a move of respecting the elderly and respecting the wise. Although the second Wei Gong, although he was a little wrong, he was dismissed from office and returned home, he made outstanding contributions to the late emperor. I still remember that Hou Junji, one of the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Dynasty, participated in the rebellion and was sentenced to death by Emperor Taizong. Before the execution, Emperor Taizong once said to Hou Junji, 'I have made a record with you, but now, I can only see the portrait of the Duke!' Hou Junji has a serious crime of corruption, and he can still keep a portrait in Lingyan Pavilion. It is nothing like the fault of the Duke Wei Gong, right?"
Ye Hua hummed deeply without refuting.
Chen Yilun vented his anger and continued, "Don't worry, the Marquis is the Marquis among the second-class meritorious officials, and the rest of the Dukes are also listed..."
...
After leaving the cabinet, everyone's faces were blue and purple. Don't bully the warriors and don't understand. These days, everyone has put in the effort to study the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the literati are generally ranked high, Changsun Wuji is ranked first, and the rest of Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng are all ahead, don’t forget that there is also Li Xiaogong in the second place.
And everyone understands that letting Feng Dao be the first is simply disgusting Ye Hua.
Feng Dao is Ye Hua's master. With him first, what else can Ye Hua say?
The reason why Wei Renpu was put in second place was because he had made a decision, but don’t forget that this was the Lingyan Pavilion ordered by Chai Rong to build, not the late emperor Guo Wei. Old Wei did not perform very well in Chai Rong’s dynasty, and he could also rank second!
It’s especially hateful. With these two people in front, all the six people in the back are civil officials!
No matter what Wang Pu said, he worked hard and died in office. Fan Zhiyi was respected and Wang Pu was regarded as the confidant of today's son. I won't say that, Zhao Pu, Lu Duosun, and Chen Yilun!
These three are just new cabinet bachelors. What kind of virtue can they be ranked ahead of the generals?
The saint asked the decree of the imperial guards and set up the Lingyan Pavilion, which clearly used "fame" for "profit", and exchanged with the generals to calm the morale of the army.
The twenty-four heroes should be dominated by military men. Now, they are all literati, which is simply too much to deceive others!
"Marty! Now that's the matter, don't you say a few words?" Gao Huaide asked Ye Huai angrily.
Ye Hua's face was tense and his lips bent down, his expression was extremely ugly!
After a while, he slowly said: "Thunder, rain, dew, is it God's kindness! As generals, we are just a general who knows how to act!"
After saying this, Ye Hua pushed Gao Huaide away, took a big stroll, got on the carriage, and headed straight to the mansion. The horse's hooves ran, swaying dust and floating on Lao Gao.
All the generals were so angry that they stamped their feet and had to leave one after another!
After they all left, Zhao Pu and Shen Yilun appeared behind everyone. Zhao Pu smiled slightly, "Champion Marquis, that's all!"
Chen Yilun scratched his head, "Xiao Xiang, aren't you looking forward to their fight to get rid of it? Ye Hua actually suppressed all these people, it's so strange!"
"What's strange!" Zhao Pu chuckled and said, "Ye Hua's hands and eyes are all right. He must have smelled the wind. He knew that the emperor had suspicion of him. If the Sacred Heart was not with him, he could only accept his fate honestly!"
"Ouch!" Chen Yilun said: "Secretary Zhao, if Ye Hua stopped his flag and his status of credit will be difficult to move him!"
"There is nothing to be moved. The most important thing in the world is the holy family! Without the holy family, no one can work!" Zhao Pu gritted his teeth. The opportunity he had been waiting for finally appeared.
The ranking of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion is his test of Ye Hua and Chai Rong. As expected, the rift between the monarch and the ministers has deepened.
What made Zhao Pu even more happy was that Ye Hua was no longer able to protect the interests of the warriors.
In the past, he was in the court, balancing civil and military affairs and fighting for benefits for military servants. Now he has no ability. Who would listen to so many military servants?
Look, I will poach warriors one by one from Ye Hua, so that the huge power of this champion Hou can dissolve the ice and disappear... The emperor has not had much time, so we must speed up the action!
...
"Master, your acting skills are getting better and better now." Zhao Er said with a smile: "I just heard from the third brother who sent me the news. Zhao Pu invited my brother to drink, saying that he wanted to talk about his hometown friendship!"
Ye Hua chuckled, "What if we make a bet, let's see if your elder brother will fall over?"
Chapter completed!
