    Zu Dashou and Han Siwen are doing better. One of them only received a false title but his official position has not changed. The other has been promoted to a military rank and has been fully equipped. But they know in their hearts that it is best to get these now.  , so I am completely satisfied!

    The only person who feels uneasy here is Xiong Tingbi. As the admiral of Jiubian, he is also personally in charge of Datong Town. He is the legitimate supreme commander of this victory, but his name is not even mentioned in the emperor's imperial edict!

    This made Xiong Tingbi panic, but he couldn't guess the little emperor's intentions. Therefore, after Li Jinzhong conveyed his will, Xiong Tingbi did not dare to say a word except thanking him!

    Li Jinzhong rolled up the imperial edict and enshrined it on the incense table. He also said to Cao Wenzhao, Han Siwen, He Renlong and Zu Dashou: "Uncle Jingbei, three generals, your majesty appreciates your achievements very much, but our family  Before coming, His Majesty asked us to give the four of you some personal words!"

    The four people quickly bowed and saluted: "I will listen to your Majesty's instructions!"

    Li Jinzhong said in a tone: "Your Majesty said that there are three things that soldiers are most taboo about. One is being arrogant about taking credit, the other is being overjoyed with success, and the third is being greedy for life and fear of death. Such thoughts are most likely to breed when making achievements, or being arrogant after having made achievements.  , I feel that no one in the world can cure me, or I feel that my contribution is not big enough, I am eager for quick success and do unrealistic things, or I feel that I have made enough money, and I cherish my life!"

    Having said this, Li Jinzhong looked at the four people who were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, and then continued: "Your Majesty said that such people will probably not last long and will destroy everything sooner or later. Only those with accurate vision and stable mind can  , Only those who know how to advance and retreat can keep making progress and achieve good results in the end!¡±

    Cao Wenzhao, Han Siwen, He Renlong and Zu Dashou were beaten hard. After hearing what Li Jinzhong said, they quickly said in unison: "I will obey your majesty's teachings and never dare to forget your majesty's kindness!"

    Li Jinzhong then smiled and said: "Your Majesty always makes clear rewards and punishments. All four of you are meritorious officials of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty will naturally not treat you badly, so you should still focus on making contributions and serving your Majesty!"

    Cao Wenzhao and the four others said in unison: "Thank you very much, father-in-law for the suggestion!"

    Li Jinzhong quickly waved his hands and said: "Four of you, please don't say that. We are just useless people. We have served His Majesty for a long time. We know His Majesty's character. I just want to remind you four. By the way, our family has some things to say.  I want to tell the Admiral that the four of you should go and take a rest first!"

    Cao Wenzhao and the other four knew that what Li Jinzhong and Xiong Tingbi said must not be simple, and definitely not something they could listen to, so they immediately said: "Resign!"

    After Cao Wenzhao and the other four left, Li Jinzhong took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Xiong Tingbi with both hands and said, "Admiral, this is your Majesty's personal letter to you. Please read it, Admiral!"

    Xiong Tingbi took the letter with fearful hands, and said with a slight trembling in his mouth: "Xiong Tingbi, the humble minister, accepts the order!"

    Then Xiong Tingbi opened the letter respectfully and looked at the signature and seal first. At the end of the letter, he was signed by Zhu Youxiao, and the seal was also Zhu Youxiao's private seal!

    It was extremely rare for an emperor to write a letter to a minister in his own name in all dynasties, and it was even more unique in the Ming Dynasty. This made Xiong Tingbi wonder what the little emperor was going to do!

    With full of doubts, Xiong Tingbi unfolded the letter and read it carefully!

    I saw the letter written in extremely handsome regular script:

    Mr. Fei Bai

    "I know very well that your husband has the great talent to stabilize the country, so I entrust him with the important task of the Nine Borders.  However, I also know very well that since your husband is a Jinshi, he must take distinction between civil and military officials very seriously!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTlly out outright, I would like to inform you by private message that if your husband is unwilling to take charge of the military affairs, I will ask you to return to Beijing and join the cabinet.  If you are willing to guard Jiubian, I will treat you as a pillar of the country and pacify the foreign invaders in the future. I will not begrudge you the position of prince!

    "Whether you want to be civil or military, it all depends on what you say. I will never force you. If you make a decision, please let Li Jinzhong know. I have my own will!"

    Zhu Youxiao¡¯s handwriting

    This letter is short and clear, asking Xiong Tingbi to choose for himself whether to follow the path of a civil servant or a military general in the future.

    Xiong Tingbi closed the letter, closed his eyes and began to think!

    As a literati, deep down in his heart, Xiong Tingbi certainly hopes that he can join the cabinet and worship the prime minister. This is also the ultimate dream of all literati. However, Xiong Tingbi knows very well that joining the cabinet is not a good choice for him!

    Because among the two cabinet ministers, Fang Congzhe is from the Chu Party and Liu Yishen is from Donglin. These two people are in the cabinet.The town of ?? just played a balancing role, allowing the court to have a rare period of calm!

    But Xiong Tingbi himself is a member of the Chu party. If he chooses to join the cabinet, he will definitely break this balance. At that time, he will be the tinder. Not only will he ignite the fuse of the party struggle, but in the end he will be in trouble!

    But if he wanted to join the military, Xiong Tingbi felt a little unwilling to do so. This was naturally caused by the old idea that the noble and the military were inferior. A civil official with a noble background turned into a lowly military general. For a traditional scholar like Xiong Tingbi, this was  The psychological gap is still huge!

    But Xiong Tingbi knew very well that joining the martial arts was his wisest choice, because guarding Jiubian not only allowed him to stay away from the chaos of the court, but also allowed him to use his expertise!

    The most important thing is that the little emperor has made it very clear in the letter. As long as he chooses to guard Jiubian and pacify the Mongols and Jurchens in the future, he will be able to become a prince in sight!

    If it were in the past, Xiong Tingbi would think that the little emperor was trying to get away with nothing, because with the strength of the Ming army in the past, pacifying the Mongols and Jurchens was simply a fantasy, but now Xiong Tingbi doesn't think so!

    Because he witnessed a great victory with his own eyes, this shocked Xiong Tingbi greatly, and also made him realize one thing. The reason why the Ming army suffered repeated defeats against the Mongols and Jurchens in the past was probably just because of the Ming army's  There was something wrong with their governance, not how powerful and invincible the Mongols and Jurchens were!

    If all the armies of the Ming Dynasty can humiliate the military police led by Han Siwen, what do Mongolia and Jurchens mean?  It¡¯s just a matter of the poles and oars being turned into ashes!

    After repeated weighings, Xiong Tingbi suddenly opened his eyes, raised his eyes firmly to the sky and clasped his fists, saying: "I have been entrusted with nine important tasks by His Majesty's holy grace. I am willing to wear armor and guard the borders for Your Majesty. I will never destroy the Tartars!" (Remember!  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
