Chapter 421: The first merit is not rewarded


Chapter 421 The first merit was not rewarded Jianwen on June 18 of the third year, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, ascended the throne in the capital.He abolished the era name of Jianwen, changed the first year of Jianwen to the third year of Jianwen to the thirty-second year of Hongwu to the thirty-fourth year of Hongwu, and set the era name as Yongle, and the next year as the first year of Yongle.In addition to disposing of and killing a large number of Jianwen's former ministers, there are naturally a large number of rewards.All officials who were degraded during the Jianwen period were all reinstated, and all the laws and regulations formulated during the Jianwen period were abolished if they were contrary to Taizu.Compared with the original history, the process of this Jingjing Battle was nearly a year less.The appearance of Wang Ge also made the process of King Yan's army much smoother, and from the original "King Yan Jingnan" to "Four Kings Jingnan", from the beginning it received a lot of troops and resource support, less of the original history of the thrilling, life and death moments, and the generals under his command did not have too many deaths.It can almost be said that the journey was smooth sailing, successive victories, and no setbacks and defeats.Based on the comparison of the strength of King Yan and the Jianwen court at that time, this process can be said to be almost a miracle.It can also be seen how much of a role Wang Ge has played in it.It stands to reason that Wang Ge deserves to be the first meritorious person in the Battle of Jingjing, but the reward for him in the end is not the thickest.After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Zhu Di rewarded the heroes of Jingnan, a total of three princes, 19 marquis, and 27 uncles.Among them, the two princes are Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, both of whom have followed Zhu Di for a long time, and have accompanied him to the Northern Expedition many times before the Jingnan, and after the Jingnan, they have taken the lead in almost every major battle and played an extremely important role.Zhang Yu, in particular, was wounded several times and almost died on the battlefield.These two people are the first in the army, and there is no problem.The remaining one of the princes, the first to take refuge in Zhu Di's master Zhang Jue, had to be named the Duke of Xingguo, he not only sent Emperor Jianwen to Beiping when the great master Guo Yang and Xie Gui and Zhang Yu attacked Zhu Di, injured Guo Yang, captured Zhang Yu and Xie Gui, completely reversed the situation, captured Jiumen, and controlled Beiping.Moreover, in the later battlefields, there were also key performances of killing generals and capturing the flag, and he was the decisive hero of many major wars, and this national prince is also well-deserved.However, Wang Ge, who was supposed to be the first contributor to Jingnan, was not among the three princes, so he had to be named the Marquis of Wu'an.Yin Shaoting, the former Jinyi guard who played for Zhu Di because of Wang Ge, also had to be named Yunyangbo.Shen Hong, a wealthy businessman in Shanxi who was in charge of logistics in the Yan army, and even invested his entire wealth in the Yan army, was also knighted.and Wang Ge's friend, Shen Ping, the "big bear" who grew up together in that nameless valley since childhood, was also awarded the title of earl for his merits.In addition, Shaolin Temple, Tanyuan Temple and other temples that have made great efforts in the Jing disaster have been extremely rewarded, and the three Buddhist masters who fought in the war, Zhihai, Wuzhen, and Miaoshi, were all given "golden dragon purple robes", and other rewards were countless, and the warrior monks who participated in the war also had rewards.As for Emperor Jianwen's previous restrictive policies against Buddhism and Taoism, they were naturally abolished.Because of Dao Yan and the three Buddhist masters, it is already foreseeable that Buddhism will inevitably develop greatly in Yongle Dynasty.When Zhu Di ascended the throne, Wang Ge also escorted Qi Tai and others on the way to the capital, and when he returned to the capital and handed over Qi Tai to Yousi, he was summoned by Dao Yan.Dao Yan is now a monk and has also been given a mansion in the capital, but he is living in a small and not too famous temple in the city.Of course, now Dao Yan's identity is not trivial, there is nothing to see around this temple on the surface, but there are a lot of eyeliner and guards in secret.When Wang Ge came over, these dark piles noticed him for the first time, but there was no vigilance and scrutiny in his eyes, but all admiration and envy.Many of these people were also from the Nameless Valley, but they were all a few years later than Wang Ge, Shen Ping, and Qian Heng, and they also worked in King Yan's spy system, and they knew much more about Wang Ge than ordinary military generals and civil officials.Knowing that this newcomer Wu Anhou has done a lot of great things, in the spy intelligence system, it can be said that he is second only to Dao Yan, and he may be their boss in the future.With the same background, almost all of them regard Wang Ge as their future goal.Dao Yan met Wang Ge in a quiet room, and there was no one to wait, not even outside the door, and the closest ones were twenty steps away.Dao Yan first inquired about the process of Wang Ge going to hunt down Qi Tai this time."

Sure enough, with you on the horse, there is nothing that can't be done."

Somewhat rare, Dao Yan praised Wang Ge in person as soon as he came up.In the past, no matter how well Wang Ge did things and how satisfied Dao Yan was, he usually wouldn't praise them."

It's all Your Majesty and the master's strategy, plus the luck of the subordinates......"

Wang Ge naturally had to be modest.Dao Yan raised his hand and waved: "Now you don't have to be too humble, your ability, Your Majesty and I both know, and your merits will not be forgotten."

Others may not know, but Your Majesty and I both understand that you are the real number one hero.It stands to reason that it should be a matter of course and not excessive, but now he is just a Marquis of Wu'an, is he a little unconvinced?

”Wang Ge hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Wang Ge never dared to have this idea!"

Wang Ge was originally an orphan with no roots and no ping, if it wasn't for His Majesty and the master to take him in, how could he be today!

It is enough for Your Majesty and the Master to know Wang Ge's loyalty!

If you talk about merit, the master is the real first merit, the master is unwilling to accept the reward, how dare Wang Ge take the credit!

”Although he had just returned to Beijing, he had already received news that Zhu Di originally planned to let Daoyan return to the vulgar, restore the common name Yao Guangxiao, and crown him as the prince of the country and enter the court as an official, but Daoyan refused.The reason for this, in fact, Wang Ge can guess most of it.The reason why Dao Yan refused to be knighted and rewarded should be the same as the reason why Wang Ge failed to get the corresponding reward.After all, there are many things they do that should not be put on the table.Zhu Dijing was difficult to raise troops in the name of the Qing monarch and eliminating traitorous ministers, and many of the things Wang Ge did were prepared in advance and made various preparations.The King of Jin, the King of Dai, the King of Ning, and even the King of Qi all said that they themselves raised troops to support Zhu Di and fought with him.But in fact, Wang Ge is operating in various ways, coercing and luring, and these credits cannot be said.There are also some "conspiracies", which cannot be communicated with outsiders.Therefore, even if Wang Ge sealed the Marquis of Wu'an, he was only nominally "meritorious in escorting several times", "detecting the enemy's situation", and "recruiting surrender and rebellion".And Dao Yan, one of the biggest credits, is actually to persuade Zhu Di to take the throne as his goal and carry out various preparations and plans.In addition, Dao Yan's previous treatment of Emperor Jianwen may also be an important reason why he chose so.
