    Walking at the front was a group of Jin Yiwei, with flying fish uniforms showing spring knives and red horses under their crotches. They were the Jin Yiwei sent by Emperor Tianqi to protect Sun Chengzong.  After two years of living in Liaodong, these Jin Yiwei are already very different from before.  With their dark faces, strong bodies, and sharp bodies, they seemed to be the most elite soldiers in the army.  He carries a murderous aura that is not found in ordinary Jin Yiwei, and he looks like someone who has seen blood on the battlefield.  Seeing these Jin Yiwei, Luo Sigong was happy and disappointed at the same time. The original Jin Yiwei were the emperor's personal soldiers and were famous on the battlefield.  Although today's Jin Yiwei has a greater reputation, his reputation is also even worse.  More emphasis is placed on investigating cases and arresting people. Without the presence of Jin Yiwei on the battlefield, it can be said that there are gains and losses.  Luo Sigong soon calmed down his mood. Looking at the royal guards in front of him, Luo Sigong felt very pleased.  No matter when the time comes, Jin Yiwei cannot lose his roots.  After the Jin Yiwei opened the way, they were followed closely by pro-army soldiers holding signs indicating avoidance, and then came Sun Chengzong's guard of honor.  The flag is fluttering in the wind, Grand Tutor, Te Jin Ronglu, Grand Bachelor of Youzhu Kingdom, Zhongji Palace, Chief Assistant Minister, Minister of Rites, Governor of Jiliao and Sun!  Looking at these flags, all the officials present looked at each other with wonderful expressions on their faces.  I originally thought that Liu Yijing could compete with Sun Chengzong, but now it seems that the difference is not even a little bit different.  Just looking at Sun Chengzong's official position, most people feel numb.  Facing Sun Chengzong, who is both blessed by the Holy Spirit and possesses extraordinary strength, no matter who he is, he will feel a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.  All officials have the urge to hit a wall, but there are also many who feel that they are born to do so.  I can't help but feel so proud.  At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Chengzong was the first minister of the Ming Dynasty. No one would question this title.  Many people have begun to look at Emperor Tianqi's face.  No one knows whether having such a minister in court is good or bad.  The whole team slowly stopped, and everyone knelt on the ground. There was silence in front of Desheng Gate, except for the sound of flags fluttering in the wind.  A carriage slowly stopped, and as the curtain opened, Sun Chengzong got out of the carriage.  At this time, Sun Chengzong was wearing a bright red gold dragon python robe.  An eight-treasure jade belt was tied around his waist, and three strands of white beard were floating on his chest, while his gentle gaze swept around.  After getting off the carriage, Sun Chengzong strode towards Emperor Tianqi. His body slowly began to tremble, with an excited look on his face.  When he came to Emperor Tianqi, he picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground.  He said loudly: "Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong, is here to see the Emperor. Long live our Emperor!" Emperor Tianqi had long dispensed with Sun Chengzong's kneeling ceremony, but Sun Chengzong chose to bow three times and kowtow nine times. Emperor Tianqi also did not pull Sun Chengzong. Both monarchs and ministers  Know that this is more than just etiquette.  It was not until Sun Chengzong paid homage that Emperor Tianqi helped Sun Chengzong up.  Holding Sun Chengzong's hand, he said excitedly: "Sir, I miss you so much!" After saying "Sir," Sun Chengzong's eyes suddenly turned red, and a few tears fell down.  Wipe it gently.  Sun Chengzong said with some emotion: "Your Majesty, don't be offended. People always have more emotions when they get older." He shook his head.  Emperor Tianqi's face was full of guilt, and he said: "Sir, I am sorry for you. In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, I made you suffer there. I am sorry for you." Hearing Emperor Tianqi say this, Sun Chengzong suddenly looked serious.  He stood up and said seriously: "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever I am an official, it is for the emperor and for the Ming Dynasty. In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king! How can I meet your majesty like this?  It is my honor to be the Ming Lord! This is the honor of every minister. The emperor must not lead officials by region or rank!" Emperor Tianqi bowed and said in a respectful tone: "Sir, I would like to teach you.  Remember!" Captain Sun Chengzong Laohuai looked at Emperor Tianqi's sincere face.  It is the hope of every teacher to have a good disciple, let alone an imperial master.  After glancing at Wang Chengen on the side, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Declarate the decree!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen answered respectfully, took the imperial decree from the side, and said loudly: "Sun Chengzong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is a great scholar.  "Receive the order!" Sun Chengzong was naturally prepared. He quickly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong, accept the order!" The ministers on the side immediately raised their ears. They all knew that Emperor Tianqi must have given another imperial order to Sun Chengzong.  , but except for a few bachelors in the cabinet, no one knew what was written in this edict.  However, although several cabinet bachelors tried their best to hide it, they still looked a bit envious, jealous, and even a little disappointed.  Ignoring the expressions of others, Wang Chengen gently unfolded the imperial edict and read loudly: "The Emperor Chengyun of Heaven, the edict?: It is a virtue for ministers to show their strength to the court.  Every time in troubled times, civil and military ministers forget about themselves and are loyal to the country.  Sun Chengzong, Taifu, Tejin Ronglu, Grand Scholar of Youzhuguo, Zhongjidian, Chief Assistant Minister, Minister of Rites, and Governor of Jiliao, trained the new army in Liaodong, and was sure to win every battle, spread his country's prestige to all barbarians, and preach  Outside of transformation, he has contributed to the country.  Anyone who has made meritorious service to the country shall be rewarded by me to publicize his merit.  Special Jin Taifu, Te Jin Ronglu Doctor, You Zhuguo, Grand Bachelor of Zhongji Palace, Chief Assistant Minister, Minister of Rites, and Governor of Jiliao Sun Chengzong were specially Jin Guanglu Doctor, Zuozhuguo, and crowned Prince Shaoshi, Yin Yi  The son is the commander of the Jinyi Guards!  " "My grandson Chengzong accepts the decree, long live my emperor!  " Sun Chengzong also had a look of shock on his face, but he kept smiling bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to give him such an important reward. "In the prose class, the first-grade doctors include Tejin Ronglu and Tejin Guanglu, although they are both regular.  First grade, but these two casual levels are different. The first-level doctor is called the first-level doctor, and the special-level doctor is called the second-level doctor.  The rank is a hurdle that many people cannot overcome in their lifetime. After being promoted to Guanglu doctor, Sun Chengzong could not advance in the prose level. The same is true for the subsequent promotion to Zuozhuguo, Youzhuguo and Zuozhuguo.  Although Zhu Guo is a civil servant, the emphasis here is very great. If it is said that it is rare to be promoted to Guanglu Doctor, but if Guanglu Doctor is added to Zuo Zhuguo, it is a great reward. It must be a great achievement.  In the official ceremony of the third year of Hongwu, only Xu Da, King Jing of Zhongshan, and Li Shanchang, the Duke of South Korea, were granted the title of Zuozhu.  The rest of the civil servants are all from the Youzhu Kingdom, including the legendary Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who have not even joined the Zhuguo. Since the three years of Hongwu's great achievements, few people have been able to get support from the Zhuguo.  There were those who were granted the title of Zhuguo, but they were all granted the title of Zuozhuguo after their death, but not the civil servants until the early years of Zhengde, when Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, was granted the title of Minister Gu Ming.  Although the successors of Zhuguo, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Liang Kangchu, and Yang Yiqing, were also granted the title of Zuozhuguo, it was only because of Emperor Zhengde. As for the recently granted Zuozhuguo, it was Wanli's first minister Zhang Juzheng and later Shen Shi.  OK. When Zhang Ju was in power, Emperor Wanli was still young. It can be said that Zhang Juzheng controlled the sky with one hand, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a powerful minister. However, Zhang Juzheng was dedicated to the country and the people, and he did not gain power for himself, but for the Ming Dynasty.  It was only Zhang Juzheng's approach that received a strong backlash from Emperor Wanli. In the end, the New Deal was probably over. Zhang Juzheng's ideals were as bright as summer flowers, but they also withered for many people.  Thinking that this person had been the chief minister of the cabinet for nine years, he was awarded the title of Zuozhuguo in his mind. Sun Chengzong could only shake his head and smile bitterly, although he also wanted to be famous as a civil servant.  . But when it came time to give it to him, Sun Chengzong felt that among these rewards, Yin Yizi was the lightest reward. In fact, this was a very generous reward for the commander of the Jinyi Guard.  A third-grade military attache, this reward can be said to be extremely profound. Moreover, the status of Jinyiwei is different. There is only one commander of Jinyiwei, and that is Luo Sigong's position. Sun Chengzong's son is qualified to take over the position of commander of Jinyiwei.  But there is probably no way for this to happen. This seemingly affordable reward may just be a decoration. First of all, Sun Chengzong is a civil servant, and his son is probably from Bozhengtu.  Don't want to say anything.  Secondly, Sun Chengzong was already in a high position. If he had another son to serve as the commander of the Imperial Guard, no one would agree.  Among these rewards, the seemingly inconspicuous one is the title of crown prince and grand master. Emperor Tianqi has not established a crown prince yet, why would he give such a title to Sun Chengzong?  You must know that there are three masters and three young masters around the prince. These six people are the most important.  The Third Master and the Third Young Master are respectively the Crown Prince, Grand Master, Crown Prince, Grand Tutor, Prince Tai Bao, Prince Young Master, Crown Prince Shaofu, Prince Shaobao. However, the status of the Third Master cannot be compared with that of the Third Master.  Among the three divisions, the Prince's Young Master is the highest official position.  With Sun Chengzong¡¯s status, although the prince and grand master are important, they are not as important as they originally meant.  The reason why Emperor Tianqi gave Sun Chengzong this official position was because Sun Chengzong was the teacher of Emperor Taichang and Emperor Tianqi.  If he were the prince's teacher again, then Sun Chengzong would be the third generation emperor's teacher.  Counting all the rewards, Sun Chengzong is only one step away from the peak of civil servants, and that is the Grand Master.  Sun Chengzong is now the Taifu, and Emperor Tianqi did not appoint him as the Taifu. This is also for future considerations.  Everyone present had a feeling of jaw-dropping, no one could have imagined thatThe emperor's favor and honor towards Sun Chengzong reached this point.  However, many ministers also saw hope, which was exactly what Emperor Tianqi needed.  Looking at the excited ministers present, Emperor Tianqi had a smile on his lips. Although Sun Chengzong's reward was heavy, in Emperor Tianqi's view, it was just a false name.  Of course, this is not the case in the eyes of civil servants. These false reputations are sometimes more important than life.  However, Emperor Tianqi knew that if Sun Chengzong was allowed to return to the cabinet as the chief assistant, then Sun Chengzong would definitely be another Yan Song who dominated the government and the public.  Although there is no comparison between Yan Song and Sun Chengzong in terms of character, they are almost the same in terms of power.  ??For the emperor, it is definitely not a good thing for the court to be monolithic and to have such powerful ministers.  Emperor Tianqi will never let this happen, this is absolutely unacceptable.  Of course, Emperor Tianqi had already made a plan, otherwise he would not have allowed Sun Chengzong to return to Beijing.  By giving Sun Chengzong such an honor, Emperor Tianqi wanted to tell all civil servants that he had contributed to the country.  I will never be stingy with rewards.  Only by letting them understand this truth can Emperor Tianqi start preparing for next year.  Wait until the mood is almost gone.  Emperor Tianqi did not retain Sun Chengzong. After more than two years, what Sun Chengzong wanted to do most was to go home and visit.  After agreeing that Sun Chengzong would not have to go to court before the end of the year, Emperor Tianqi returned to the palace with his people.  Although he didn¡¯t do anything, Emperor Tianqi still felt a little tired. It seemed that his body had not recovered and was very weak.  "Your Majesty, this is the emerald porridge sent from the imperial kitchen. The temperature is just right. Your Majesty, please eat some!" Wang Chengen respectfully held a small porcelain bowl and brought the emerald porridge to Emperor Tianqi. This was when Wang Chengen was leaving.  Instructed the imperial kitchen to prepare it.  Emperor Tianqi was indeed hungry. With a bit of exhaustion on his face, he nodded and said, "I'll drink a little, but I'm a little thirsty. Prepare some tea for me!" "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has explained it.  The emperor can't drink tea yet, so my slaves prepared some water for the emperor to remove the fire!" As he spoke, Wang Chengen took a porcelain cup from one side, which contained light yellow water. He didn't know what it was made of.  But Emperor Tianqi had a strange feeling after seeing it.  Turning his gaze to one side, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Go and take this thing away. From now on, I will only drink water. Then take him away!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen didn't know what happened.  .  However, seeing Emperor Tianqi's uncomfortable look, Wang Chengen quickly took the things away.  After taking it out.  Wang Chengen took a look at the yellow stuff inside, and the expression on his face suddenly became very exciting.  However, Wang Chengen served Emperor Tianqi, and pouring the chamber pot was a piece of cake, let alone watching this.  However, Wang Chengen still felt a little nauseous at the thought of drinking it.  "My lord, is the emperor inside?" Suddenly a woman's voice sounded in Wang Chengen's ears, her tone of voice was very casual, without any hint of politeness.  Wang Chengen was naturally able to recognize whose voice it was. He knelt down on the ground without raising his head and said in a respectful tone: "I have seen the Queen. To answer the Queen's question, the Emperor has just come back and is resting inside." "I know.  Yes!" Queen Zhang nodded lightly and walked in. As for Wang Chengen, there was no need to answer her except to ask for directions.  When they came to the Nuan Pavilion, Queen Zhang saw Emperor Tianqi. She quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the emperor!" When Emperor Tianqi saw that it was Queen Zhang, he waved his hand and said, "Baozhu! Why are you here?  "Well, where is Cixuan?" "Zhu Cixuan was named by Emperor Tianqi to his eldest son. As for whether Emperor Tianqi's son was actually named this name in history, Emperor Tianqi didn't know.  However, the fortune teller said that the son's five elements lacked fire, so Emperor Tianqi gave his son such a name.  ¡°I don¡¯t know whether it was because of time travel or because Wei Zhongxian was no longer around, but Emperor Tianqi¡¯s first son was stillborn before he was born.  Until now, it was very healthy and lively, which made Emperor Tianqi take a deep breath and finally put it on the ground.  Seeing that Emperor Tianqi cared so much about his son, Empress Zhang suddenly showed a smile on her face and said: "Cixuan is asleep, and I have cooked a bowl of porridge for the emperor. The emperor can eat it while it's hot!" She said to someone not far away.  The maid at the palace waved her hand, and there was a delicate small porcelain bowl placed on it.  Gently touching Queen Zhang's face, Emperor Tianqi said with heartache: "You have just finished your confinement, so don't worry about me. A good rest is the most important thing. There are so many people waiting for me here every day, you won't  What's going on!" "Your Majesty, these people are unreliable, otherwise things wouldn't have happened last time. I'm scared just thinking about it now!" Queen Zhang shed tears while holding Emperor Tianqi's hand.  .  I don¡¯t know if I was ready or not. The tears came so quickly. Emperor TianqiAlthough the emperor was cursing in his heart, there was a distressed expression on his face.  He held Queen Zhang's hand and comforted her softly.  Wang Chengen, who had just entered the hall, was immediately silent. Queen Zhang was not only a queen, but also deeply loved by Emperor Tianqi.  The most important thing is that the eldest son of the emperor has been born, who will be the future prince and the future emperor. Everyone in the palace will not wait for him carefully.  I don¡¯t know if Emperor Tianqi¡¯s comforting words had an effect, or if Empress Zhang felt that it was enough, she pouted her little mouth and picked up the small porcelain bowl on one side, with a blush on her face and said: "I feed the emperor!" Emperor Tianqi was stunned for a moment.  , eyes gleaming, looking at the shy Queen Zhang.  After swallowing, Emperor Tianqi felt that after giving birth to the child, Queen Zhang became more mature and attractive, with the attitude of a little woman, which made him feel itchy.  Queen Zhang naturally knew what Emperor Tianqi meant, but she just picked up the bowl and fed Emperor Tianqi porridge with a spoon.  I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s intentional, but I always put the spoon to my mouth and blow on it, and my pretty red lips look so alluring.  Emperor Tianqi looked at Queen Zhang with dull eyes and swallowed hard. Ever since Queen Zhang became pregnant, Emperor Tianqi has not favored Queen Zhang.  Now that the children have come and gone, the two of them haven't been intimate for nearly a year, so this is no longer a small goodbye.  However, although Empress Zhang was emotional, she seemed to be thinking about something. It was not until Emperor Tianqi finished drinking the porridge that she said casually: "Your Majesty, did you make Mr. Sun the Crown Prince and Grand Master today? Mr. Sun has both knowledge and character.  He is a first-class person and has been the emperor's master for two generations. He is really the most suitable person. The emperor is really discerning." Emperor Tianqi on the side looked at Queen Zhang without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking!  (To be continued.
