Four or five days later, until the end of March, Li Chengdong's second memorial finally arrived.

This memorial did not say anything else, but specifically talked about Wenzhi's deeds and arrangements for his afterlife.

"My memory, Li Chengdong, was so worried that he would report to Your Majesty: The previous military report, I have reported that because of the frequent incidents after the war, I have never reported that the civil servants of thousands of households have been sent to death. The truth is that my fault is so I ask you to surrender your crime."

"There are all the corpses of Wenzhi, who have been killed in a heroic death... From Wenyu below, the remaining forty-five soldiers have died in battle. Now I have found all the bodies of Wenzhi and his forty-six soldiers. Because it is hot, I cannot be released for a long time. I have ordered people to be buried on the spot and carved a monument to record the incident."

"After hearing about my civil and morality, I am deeply admired and pleased. He was not afraid of danger, and he died with the enemy without hesitation, and inspired his soldiers to fight bravely to fight the enemy. This is the key to winning this battle. I thought about it carefully every night and the soldiers were all thanks to His Majesty's teachings and education. In one day, they were all the result of Your Majesty's resignation. I was stupid and did not dare to be greedy for the achievements of Heaven."

"All the above are requested by the Holy Tribunal."

After seeing it, Zhu Youlang thought to himself, "Okay, you said you were busy and forgot, just think that you had forgotten it. Just cover it up and don't leave a handle. However, knowing that you dare not be greedy for the achievements of heaven is considered to have made some progress."

...

When Li Chengdong's memorial arrived, Zhu Youlang's action was soon.

Three imperial edicts were issued in a row.

The first thing was to be named Li Chengdong as the Fengtian Jingnan Reward, and the inheritance of the country was unsuccessful and the country was settled. All the subordinates had their meritorious generals and subordinates were rewarded. They also gave 200,000 taels of silver in the inner treasury to reward the three armies.

What is emphasized is the four personal soldiers of Wen Zhi who survived Wen Jin, Wen Yin, Wen Tong and Wen Tie, who were the third-class guards of Da'ui.

The reason why Zhu Youlang wanted to take the four people to be guards is that he was the first to be loyal and righteous. Such a person would definitely not be wrong to be a guard and protect the master; secondly, let the four people work in Guangzhou, so that they could take care of Wenzhi's family nearby; thirdly, Zhu Youlang was very worried that after completing the mission of snatching Wenzhi's body, they would commit suicide to thank him. All fifty personal soldiers died, would they live alone?

With this will, they would not do such stupid things.

The second sentence was to posthumously conferred Wenzhi as the Fengtian Yiwei, and his wife Su was granted the imperial edict. His legitimate son, civil and military martial arts, was a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and his concubine's son, Wenli, and was appointed as a servant in the Internal Affairs Office.

The Ministry of Rites sent personnel to attend the funeral with the ritual of the earl.

The third sentence was to copy the civil and civilian deeds from all armies and governments, and vigorously promote them to inspire the morale of the military and civilians.

These three decrees made the civil and military officials in the court immediately explode.

It is reasonable that Li Chengdong was named the second-class uncle, and no one said anything. But Wenzhi was named the first uncle as a thousand-class household. Although he was a fourth-class family, he was not hereditary, but this kind of favor was too much, right? Why? Could it be that he died heroically?

What did this mean to think of Zhang Jiayu, Lin Cha, and Yang Guodong? Could it be that Wen Zhi's contribution is greater than that of them? If there is such a thing in the future, how should we reward it? Will Wen Zhi be the same as Wen Zhi?

It is useless for the ministers to oppose it. In the past, there could be a case of lieutenant refuting the imperial edict, but now the lieutenant has let the emperor dissolve it collectively. In terms of the system, it is impossible to reject the imperial edict at all.

Not only did other ministers say that, even the six major ministers did not understand. At the "Dawn Meeting" on the first day of April, the chief minister Qu Shixi asked.

"The emperor, I am quite unaware of the matter of rewarding literary ethics. I am loyal and wise, and I should indeed give rewards, but I think that the rewards that are too generous will not be good. If there are such heroes in the future, what should I do? Follow this example? I forgot your Majesty to answer my questions."

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"The reason why I appreciate literary quality is so generous is three considerations. First, literary quality is nothing. There are many people who died heroically in history. The key is that he takes the initiative to die, not passively. How much courage does it take? Second, I am newly established in Yongli Dynasty. In the future, more and more fierce battles with the Qing soldiers will be fought, and the war will become bigger and bigger. Soldiers need this courage, and our dynasty also needs to cultivate this kind of righteousness. As long as this aura becomes, no matter how strong the Qing soldiers are, it is not worth fearing. Therefore,

You must establish such a flag-like figure; thirdly, you should be able to understand that when this is the case, the situation is very dangerous. If Wenzhi retreats a little, it will lead to a disaster. With the combat power of the Qing army, it is very likely that Li Chengdong's 30,000 troops will be wiped out. In other words, Wenzhi's death inspired his personal soldiers, inspired the entire army, withstand the strong attack of the Qing army, and thus saved the army. This is the key to turning the situation around. Do you think such a hero is too much to give him a title of Count?"

"As for what you are worried about, someone will follow the example in the future, and I will follow this example. I don't think it is necessary. As long as someone spares his life and affects the development of the entire battle situation in a favorable direction, let alone a count, why not be named a marquis? Just imagine, if there are ten or eight, or even hundreds of such heroes, my dear ministers, what else can the Qing soldiers be afraid of?"

After Zhu Youlang finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Emperor, I am still too small. It is very cost-effective to exchange for tens of thousands of heroic troops with the position of Earl." Huang Zongxi reacted first.

"Yes, the soldiers are willing to spare no effort, and the emperor is willing to reward them. Only in this way can we support a death-death army. Emperor, I have already worshipped them." Qu Shixi also understood.

"I have an old eye, old thinking, and do things, stick to old rules, and have no idea of ​​following the emperor." Wu Bing said this.

"Yes, the holy thoughts are far-reaching, and I can't wait any longer." Chen Zizhuang said this.

When Zhu Youlang saw that he was trying to say flattering words again, he said to himself: "You just need to accept it. Why do you say these stingy words? Let me get Xiaomi all over my body. Even though you are right."

Thinking of this, he quickly waved his hand to stop him: "Okay, don't say it better than you, I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Hahaha..., ha--." Chen Bangyan burst into laughter when he heard this. When he saw others, he smiled. No one laughed so much. He felt a little embarrassed and stopped quickly.

"If you want to laugh, laugh. Don't cause internal injuries. Will I cure you, the crime of losing your etiquette?" Zhu Youlang was in a good mood. Seeing that Chen Bangyan looked so uncomfortable, he quickly said.

"Your Majesty, I am not laughing because of what the emperor said, but I am open and honest when seeing that the king and his ministers are united and have different opinions. It is precisely because of the prosperity of our dynasty, I am laughing." Chen Bangyan replied with a smile.

"Hahaha, this is very true. Ling Bin, I thought you wouldn't flatter you in person. This is really what I said to me. It's much more clever than Tian and you are."

"Hahaha……"
