What Hong Chengchou said is already very clear, that is, he told Emperor Chongzhen to consider Zu Dashou's attitude and stop deliberately elevating Yang Zhen's status.

No matter how good Yang Zhen's strategy of attacking from the east and defending from the west is, if there is no Zu Dashou to defend Jinzhou and no Zu's army to attack Liaoxi, it will still be nothing in the end.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had a deep prejudice against Zu Dashou, and now he wanted to humiliate Zu Dashou by giving Yang Zhen, a Ping Liao uncle.

Therefore, after listening to Hong Chengchou's words, he knew that what he said was reasonable, but he gritted his teeth and frowned in thought without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, during this great victory over Songjin, Zu Dashou's troops gained a lot. Before I entered the capital under the order, I had repeatedly received reports of Jinzhou's successes. How could the imperial court not commend and reward Zu Dashou's troops?

Although his contribution is not as great as that of Mr. Yang, it would be biased if he favors one over the other!"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen remained silent, Hong Chengchou thought about it again and again and spoke out to fight for rewards for his ancestor Dashou and his ancestral army.

If Yang Zhen's troops were still under his command, he would definitely not say this in front of Yang Zhen.

However, Yang Zhen's troops had just been transferred to the Beijing camp by Chen Xinjia, and were directly led by the Ministry of War.

As soon as Yang Zhen left, Zu Dashou and his troops immediately became the most important force outside the customs that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, could rely on.

Although he, the governor of Jiliao, now has a group of his own generals and soldiers, after arriving outside Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, he is a newcomer after all, and he has to rely on Zu Dashou to do many things.

If there was an opportunity to express his goodwill in advance or marry his ancestors for their birthday, Hong Chengchou would naturally not let it go. But in front of him was such a rare opportunity.

At the same time, it is impossible to say that Hong Chengchou is not jealous of the Spylord conferred by Emperor Chongzhen on Yang Zhen.

He has been fighting to the death with various bandits on the battlefields of bandit suppression in Shaanxi, Henan and other places for many years, and has made countless meritorious services. Why can't he be awarded the title of Spyker?

Especially a title like Ping Liao Bo has an indescribable attraction for him, the governor of Ji Liao.

What was the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen assigning him to the position of governor of Ji Liao? Isn't it just to ask him to oversee Ping Liao?

But he hasn't left seclusion yet, and the title of Ping Liao has been given to Yang Zhen. So why is he out of seclusion?

Therefore, from his own heart, he did not want to see Yang Zhen get this title.

But after all, he was a Jinshi and had been in high and low officialdom for many years. When he was dissatisfied or had opinions, he would not express them directly and would only talk about Zu Dashou in a roundabout way.

After he finished talking about Zu Dashou's meritorious status, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was still silent with a gloomy face, he immediately made it clear:

"Your Majesty, Zu Dashou has led tens of thousands of troops to guard Liaodong for more than ten years. There is no credit but hard work. Moreover, at this time, it is the time to employ people. It is even more important to praise and encourage the commanders of border towns. We must not be cold to them easily.

My heart!"

When Hong Chengchou said this, Emperor Chongzhen's expression changed. He thought about it, but in the end he still didn't dare to really chill Zu Dashou's heart. Finally, he sighed and said:

"That's fine, that's fine. Then in Hong Aiqing's opinion, how should I praise Zu Dashou's contribution?"

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's relaxed attitude, Hong Chengchou asked how he should praise Zu Dashou's achievements. He immediately thought that since he wanted to marry someone like Zu Dashou, he might as well give him a generous gift.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou's heart suddenly changed, and he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "In my opinion, Mo Ruo is also a knight!"

"This, this, this -"

Chen Xinjia, who was standing aside, originally saw that Yang Zhen was unwilling to accept the title of Pingliao, and then saw Hong Chengchou coming out to support him. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether he should object or agree.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the process, Hong Chengchou actually wanted to marry Zu Dashou for his surname. Before he arrived in Liaodong, he wanted to marry Zu Dashou, which made Chen Xinjia furious for a while.

So he subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

You know, the current Ming Dynasty is simply full of leaks, and there are no secrets at all.

Even if it is a small-scale meeting between the emperor and his ministers, such as a platform summons, it cannot be kept secret. Whoever says what, will soon spread throughout the city.

If Chen Xinjia dares to object to giving Zu Dashou the title of Shijue at this time, once the news gets out, Zu Dashou will be completely offended.

A few decades ago, the Minister of War would naturally not be afraid of a border town general, but today, it is completely different.

What if one day Emperor Chongzhen asked Chen Xinjia to supervise Ji Liao, or if Zu Dashou was transferred to the Guanping Army, Chen Xinjia's life would be gone.

So, he opened his mouth and kept saying "this", "this" and "this" for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence. In the end, he just stared at Hong Chengchou and closed his mouth angrily.

"Chen Aiqing, do you have something to say?"

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was eager for someone to stand up and object. He was very happy when he saw Chen Xinjia standing up to object. He waited for a long time but did not wait for Chen Xinjia to speak out his objections, so he gave him another chance.

But Chen Xinjia was not a fool. When Emperor Chongzhen asked him this question, he groaned for a long time, and finally said: "Supervisor Hong is right. Grandmaster Dashou has been in Liaodong for a long time. He has no merit but also hard work. This time he has both merit and if

If I want him to continue his efforts, Mo Ruoye will be granted a knighthood!"

Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he saw Chen Xinjia say this, but he couldn't get angry anywhere. He snorted, turned to Yang Zhen and said:

"Yang Zhen, what do you think?!"

When Yang Zhen heard this, he felt unhappy.

He was very clear about what Emperor Chongzhen meant, which was that he didn't want to grant his ancestor a birthday, but he didn't want to say it clearly that he needed someone to give him a step down.

However, the current situation outside Shanhaiguan requires the perfect coordination between the eastern front that he has just opened and the western front that Zu Dashou holds, so that it can be considered truly safe. How can he speak out against being knighted for Zu Dashou at this time?

Among these people, Hong Chengchou wanted to marry Zu Dashou, so he spoke for him. Chen Xinjia was afraid of offending Zu Dashou, so he did not dare to object. But he could not offend Zu Dashou, so how could he speak up to oppose them.

"Your Majesty, Governor Hong and my lords are right. If your Majesty makes him a World Noble, he will have to sacrifice himself to death if he wants to come to Commander-in-Chief to sit in Jinzhou!"

Yang Zhen thought for a moment and found that he could only say this in the end.

Although it was against his true intention, he had to say so.

For many people, right and wrong may be more important, but for Yang Zhen now, right and wrong are not important, what is important is the pros and cons.

He wanted to hold on to or stabilize Zu Dashou as much as possible, and he also tried to use every opportunity to dissuade Zu Dashou from surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

It's just a mere Spyker. If it can play some role, it's worth a try.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's give it to Spyker as well!"

After listening to what Yang Zhen said, Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a long time. He first said this gloomily, then paused for a while, and finally said:

"Hong Aiqing, you are the governor of Jiliao. Please tell me first, what titles should be given to Yang Qing and Zu Dashou?"

In fact, Hong Chengchou didn't insist on asking for some Spyker for his ancestor's birthday.

The reason why he said that was that he didn't want Emperor Chongzhen to elevate Yang Zhen too high and make it difficult for him, the governor of Jiliao, to command in the future. Secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for his grievances.

Therefore, when things got to this point, even he was a little surprised and felt a little uninterested.

But now that the matter has come to this, he has no other choice. Now he hears Emperor Chongzhen asking him again, and he immediately says: "Since Mr. Yang refuses to accept the title of Ping Liao, he will leave such a title for the future. In the future,

Whoever can bring peace to Liao will be bestowed upon him by Your Majesty."

"Yeah, that's fine."

"If Pingliao is not used, then titles such as Pingdong, Andong, Jinglu, and Pinglu are not used at all. Just use the name of the place of birth or the place where you are guarding!"

Hong Chengchou then said this. Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, hummed, and then asked Chen Xinjia: "Chen Qing, what did you say?"

Chen Xinjia had just seen the emperor's disappointment in him from Emperor Chongzhen's eyes. At this time, he was a little panicked. When he saw the emperor asking him again, he was afraid that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately considered and replied:

"I have no objection, please make your decision, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Chen Xinjia like this, Emperor Chongzhen sighed secretly, and then said in a deep voice: "In that case, Yang Qing, you are about to guard Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and other places. I hope you will take one step further and regain Jinfu Gaihai as soon as possible."

In the land of the Four Guards, if you do this, I will grant you the title of Jin Haibo, the World Lord, and give you a gold book and an iron certificate."

When Yang Zhen heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately kowtowed and said: "I accept the decree to express my gratitude. Long live my emperor!"

Yang Zhen did not expect that after he rejected the title of "Ping Liaobo", which was a bit popular, he would not be able to use it even Ping Lu and Anton.

However, Jin Haibo is just Jin Haibo. It doesn’t sound good, but it doesn’t sound bad either. It happens to be the land of Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou and Haizhou in the south of Liaoning. The first and last words are one word each, and it sounds quite understandable.

Yang Zhen was just thinking about the pros and cons of this name when he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "After Jin Haibo moved to Lushun, I intended to set up another Jinhai Town outside Jiubian at Lushunkou, that is, Jin Haibo Yang Zhen would be the general manager of Jinhai Town."

The soldiers, together with the Zuo Commandery of the Zuojun Commandery, wear the seal of General Zhengdong, and help me attack the heart of the Eastern captives from the north, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objections!"

Chen Xinjia and Hong Chengchou already knew that they had dissatisfied the emperor before. When they heard what the emperor said, they immediately agreed and did not dare to say any more objections.

Emperor Chongzhen had obviously been thinking deeply about this decision for a while. When he saw that the Governor of Jiliao and the Minister of War had no objections, he immediately said:

"In that case, it's settled!"

"I accept the order and thank you!"

The final decision made by Emperor Chongzhen was a little beyond Yang Zhen's expectations, but it was unexpectedly good, so he immediately kowtowed to the ground again and received the order to thank him.
