On the way to the capital, the people on both sides of the road who wanted to see the emperor's face were like a long dragon.
Unfortunately, under the royal family's overwhelming momentum.
These commoners were all kneeling on the ground. No one dared to raise their heads to look at this new emperor of Great Ming.
Zhu Qiyu looked down at the kneeling people of Great Ming from above.
He sighed in his heart.
This was the might of Tian Zi.
No wonder this position could cause father and son, brothers and sisters to kill each other.
After sitting in this position, one could rule the world. Everyone would prostrate at your feet and tremble in fear.
This was truly supreme.
After sighing with emotion for a while, Zhu Qiyu found his father-in-law among his entourage.
He didn't expect that Grand Tutor Feng, who didn't care about fame and fortune and treated high officials like dirt, would actually come to welcome him.
It really wasn't easy.
The young man behind him must be his brother-in-law, Feng Tang.
Zhu Qiyu was no stranger to this brother-in-law.
Yu Qian had mentioned this person several times in front of him.
This brother-in-law of his was very knowledgeable. He was not interested in the imperial examinations that scholars yearned for, but he was interested in the art of war.
He was also the proud disciple of Song Bin.
Unfortunately, such a talent didn't go out to be an official.
This time, his father-in-law had brought him here to welcome him. It seemed like he was prepared to let him become an official.
Not only did his father-in-law bring his son.
Song Bin's three sons were also by his side.
Even his uncle, Wu Yi, had brought five Wu clan disciples with him.
The meaning was self-evident.
They all wanted their descendants to show their faces in front of the new emperor and become familiar with him.
Thinking of this, the smile on Zhu Qiyu's face grew even wider.
The Duke of Zhou spat out his food, and the world returned to his heart.
It had only been a month since he ascended the throne, and people with lofty ideals had begun to emerge.
Does this mean that I can do it?
Zhu Qiyu's heart was filled with pride.
Using the words from his previous life.
What did Da Ming lack the most?
Talents, all kinds of high-end talents.
Whether it's talented scholars or specialized technical talents, I, Zhu Qiyu, want them all.
The more, the better.
The Imperial Palace, Nianci Palace.
Zhu Qiyu had not even had the time to bathe and change his clothes before he came to pay his respects to his mother.
Seeing her son return safely, Empress Dowager Wu cried tears of joy.
During this month, she had been chanting Buddhist scriptures in front of the Buddha statue every day.
She prayed that her son would return victorious.
Now, her son, the Ming Emperor, had finally returned with a great victory.
How could she not be excited?
"Good, good. Emperor, quickly take a bath and change your clothes. Go to the memorial tablets of your ancestors and your father and report your achievements.”
"Let them know that you, the Emperor, have not disgraced their faces.”
Zhu Qiyu helped her sit down and then smiled,""Yes, mother. Zhen will go now."
"Oh right, mother, tomorrow zhen will hold a celebration banquet in the palace. At that time, there might be many officials 'families coming to pay their respects to you.”
Empress Dowager Wu waved her hand and teased,"Good, good. Mother knows and won't disgrace the emperor.”
"In that case, Zhen will first get Wang Cheng to send you a few boxes of property brought back from the grasslands. You can reward those family members."
After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Since it was a celebration party, it had to be grand.
Of course, before the celebratory banquet, there would be a grand ceremony to reward the officials.
For this important matter, the cabinet elders and the Ministry of Personnel had drafted a name list.
However, there were still many details that needed to be discussed.
Late at night.
The Hall of Diligent Government was still brightly lit.
The cabinet was full of cabinet elders, six ministers, assistant ministers, Ducha Yuan, five army governor's office and other important ministers.
They were all gathered here.
In order to discuss the matter of rewards, Zhu Qiyu discussed with them until dawn.
Only then did they reach a more unified opinion.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work. You can rest in the palace.”
"Today, there will be a celebratory reward ceremony and a celebratory banquet. It's enough for you to be busy."
The cabinet elders were all in their forties or fifties.
After a sleepless night, his physical and mental strength had long been exhausted.
After receiving permission, he slowly left with the help of a group of young eunuchs.
Four hours later.
Zhu Qiyu appeared in Taihe Palace in high spirits.
The civil and military officials had already arrived.
Outside the hall, there were thousands of excited soldiers waiting to be rewarded.
After paying his respects.
Zhu Qiyu ordered Cheng Jing to directly read out the list of rewards.
The top ten people who had made great contributions.
Minister of War, Prince Shao Bao Yu Qian, because of merit promoted to Prince Taibao, into the cabinet, concurrently serving as Minister of War, Governor of the capital defense.
South bully king stone pillar, knighted loyal wu hou, dragon and tiger general.
Zhang Mao inherited the title of Lord of the United Kingdom and served as the right governor of the five armies. His brother Zhang Zhong was the Duke of Langya County and served as a military officer.
Fang Yue was promoted to the governor of the five states, leading the civil affairs of the five states and the title of assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Tang Jie was given the title of Xinwu Bo, the left governor of the military governor's office, and the title of minister of the Ministry of War.
Fan Guang, granted the title of Anping Bo, left army Dudu House Tongzhi.
Ma Ning was promoted to the rank of Jianwu General, Military Envoy of the Five Prefectures, and Governor of the Five Prefectures.
…………
Of course, other than the generals who had personally gone out with the army, the loyal Marquis Song Bin who was stationed in Jingdou and the Governor of the Five Armies, Wu Yi, were all rewarded.
Other than that, many cabinet elders, such as Chen Xun, Wang Zhi, and Wang Wen, who had followed the dragon, were also rewarded.
This time, the list of names announced in the hall was as many as 1,500 people.
As for the ordinary soldiers who followed the Emperor, the rewards from the Bureau of Military Personnel and Bureau of Personnel would also be received very soon.
Other than titles and official positions, there were also countless rewards.
This time, the army consumed very little food and pay, but the spoils of war they obtained were extremely rich.
One had to know that all the wealth that the Wala tribes had accumulated over the years had been transported back to the capital by Zhu Qiyu.
He gave out these huge amounts of wealth.
Even an ordinary soldier received ten taels of silver and several rolls of silk.
Not to mention those meritorious soldiers.
In short, other than the old nobles and the imperial relatives who were dissatisfied with this reward ceremony, the emperor was not satisfied.
Almost everyone was very satisfied with this reward.
After this reward, many civil and military officials realized that the new dignitaries had completely replaced the old ones.
A court official for every emperor, it was true.
The new emperor had promoted a large number of talented people through this expedition, and he now had complete control over the important positions in the capital and the local areas.
PS/A new month, a new beginning. Ladies and gentlemen, throw your tickets and flowers at me.
