The dragon is full of fog. Every morning, the fog is hazy. The unique fragrant wood of Annan is planted in the courtyard of the Duzhu Temple. The fragrant wood covered by the misty smoke hits the branches and leaves, falling into the mud bit by bit, making the soil more fragrant.

Zhu Zhiling sometimes has a girlish side, attracted by this dreamy scene, goes out early in the morning and returns half of her body soaked.

Hao Fenglou was raising his legs and was having tea in the Zen room. There were many people visiting today, either openly or secretly, each with ulterior motives. Hao Fenglou was already a little poor at dealing with it, and he suddenly realized that he could be so important.

Obviously, although the new king ascended the throne, in Annan, due to the collapse of Hu's clan, there was still a vacuum of power. At this time, no matter what King Annan or the Secretariat were, it was meaningless to everyone. Rights never came from the ridiculous title, at least in Annan, the basis of power at present came from the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Hao Fenglou's unique identity naturally became the goal of everyone's competition.

Hao Fenglou felt a little secretly happy, and at the same time, he was not tired of running around for this, which shows that the big shot may not be easy.

Compared to his hard work, Zhu Zhiling seemed a bit frivolous. After that night, both sides gradually returned to their original state. Zhu Zhiling suddenly became somewhat sentimental. Perhaps because he saw the fog, touched the dew, touched the scene and gradually faded the hatred in his heart.

The throne ceremony was almost ready. On the ninth day of November, early in the morning, Hao Fenglou, dressed in new dynasty clothes, was invited to enter the palace.

There were many generals from the Ming Dynasty who entered the palace at the same time as him, but they were not the protagonists, but just watched the ceremony.

Any etiquette, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or Annan, seems so long and boring. In the depths of this palace, which is a small city of China, the ritual officials sang in the form of Zhou rituals, bells and drums, and the officials knelt three times and nine times to the energetic Annan King Chen Tianping, wearing a crown of Tongtian. Chen Tianping looked extremely excited, his voice choked, and then said: "The ancestors have been going through three hundred years. The descendants are unworthy, and they have caused us to be troubled by the ancestral temples. Fortunately, the ancestors are blessed, and the country is merciful..."

He said while crying and chattering, and the ministers in the hall cried out in a flash. Someone said, "Your Highness, now the usurper is punished, and you have been willing to die. I would like to ask Your Highness to mourn."

Chen Tianping then cheered up and sat high on the silver chair, saying seriously: "No. Now everything is in trouble, it is the time to revitalize the foundation of our ancestors. When the Hu family was in power, it is rare for all the ministers to be under the power of Hu family for a long time. The lonely king ascended the throne was a day of great joy. He should be rewarded and amnesty for the whole world."

He paused and glanced at an inner servant standing beside him.

The inner servant nodded and said, "The King has an edict: This time, the first contribution of the Hu family should be to promote Hao Fenglou, the commander of the Ming Jinyiwei. Although Hao Zhengshi is not a member of the country, he can be a pacified Annan and has made outstanding achievements. Such great kindness and virtue, the whole country of Annan is full of heart, and it is difficult to repay the situation. Therefore, Hao Fenglou is the left prime minister, the general of Wuwei, and is in charge of the military and political affairs of Annan. He also granted a hundred miles of land for food and Qinghua..."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately in an uproar.

Even some important figures of the Ming army could not sit still, and everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

The official positions of Annan Kingdom were very complicated because the Annan people had a bad habit and always liked to learn from it. During the Song Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty introduced the official positions of the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, it also borrowed some official positions of the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the same.

Therefore, there are many various official positions, and people who don’t know much about it are always confused. However, everyone can understand the matter of the Left Prime Minister’s Pacification.

The first word "Left" inherits the concept of "Left as respected by the Central Plains dynasty. As for the prime minister after that, there is no need to mention it. The Pingzhang incident after that originated from the Tang and Song dynasties. In short, this long title can be said to be the best among the official positions of Annan. Once Hao Fenglou added this official position, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Annan was below one person, and a prime minister above ten thousand people.

As for the general of the Martial Guard added later, he is also the best among military officers.

In fact, in the late period of the Chen Dynasty, the so-called right to be promoted to the left prime minister was too great, so he had been dismissed. Although he had only such an official position, he had never been granted. Therefore, the operation of government affairs and military affairs was mostly ordered by the disciples, just like the title of the Ming Dynasty. If you are not a member of the Zhu family, you will never be enthroned when you are alive, even if you have made more contributions than you are.

But now, Chen Tianping is ruthless enough to directly give Hao Fenglou a name, which is equivalent to giving all the rights of Annan Kingdom to Hao Fenglou.

Not only that, but also the land of Qinghua was given to the hundreds of miles later. Qinghua was equivalent to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. In Annan, its wealth was even higher than that of the country Shenglong, and it was praised as the capital of Xidu by Annan. Now, it was given directly to Hao Fenglou. How can people not be surprised?

When the edict was read, Chen Tianping put his hand on the silver chair without showing any expression, only a pair of eyes, patrolling the hall, observing everyone's reaction.

The officials in Annan were completely shocked. After finally coming to their senses, they had already shook their faces.

Especially the Secretariat Ling Li Rui, his face was even pale.

Chen Tianping's edict was obviously unacceptable to Li Rui. He was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and was originally a minister of the Supreme People, and was already the prime minister of Annan. Unexpectedly, Chen Tianping created a prime minister, Zhang Ping's affairs, which means that his Secretary of the Central Secretariat had completely emptied his power.

In addition, with a general added, Li Rui became a errand runner in Hao Fenglou. Although he wanted to pull Hao Fenglou to join forces to deal with Chen Tianping, he wanted Hao Fenglou to help him get involved in his own interests, not to let Hao Fenglou ride on his head, otherwise what would be the benefit of winning over Hao Fenglou?

Moreover, the reason why he can have a place in Annan is that he can convince the public. Many of Annan's officials are his followers, and these people have their own interests. Once Hao Fenglou is in charge of the administration, who will guarantee their interests?

As for Qinghua, not to mention, the power of the Hu family was strongly supported by the Qinghua tyrants. After the Ming army suppressed the rebellion this time, they cleaned the Qinghua tyrants. During this cleaning process, many ministers in Annan took the opportunity to erode the interests of the Qinghua tyrants. Even Li Rui, he had long been coveting Qinghua.

Now, I actually gave it all to Hao Fenglou and an outsider. Why?

If Li Rui did not stand up and say something at this time, once it was certain, the local faction led by him would undoubtedly suffer an extremely heavy blow, which he would never accept.

At this time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk. He stood up as if he was old god: "Your Highness, the old minister has a word..."

Chen Tianping narrowed his eyes, smiled, and touched the desk and said, "It's okay for Li Qing to say everything."

Li Rui said seriously: "The old minister thinks that this move is very inappropriate. Hao Qianshi is an official of the superior country. How can he preside over the military and political affairs of the subordinate country? Furthermore, Qinghua is the capital of the Western Capital, and it cannot be rewarded..."

Chen Tianping said lightly: "What do you mean is that Hao Qianshi's contribution is not enough to receive such a reward?"

Li Rui quickly shook his head: "Old minister and..."

Chen Tianping interrupted him: "Hao Qianshi is the savior of the Gu Wang. Now he has made contributions to Annan. If the Gu Wang Wang's reward is light, it is not enough to demonstrate his achievements. This matter has ended here, you don't have to say anything more. The Gu Wang has made up his mind, so you don't have to persuade him again."

He seemed particularly firm in his will.

After that, another edict was ordered, and it was just some rewards. Originally, these rewards were considered generous. For example, Li Rui ordered the young master to be the young master, which was a rare honor. Unfortunately, with the previous reward from Hao Fenglou, this so-called superficial honor is no different from cow dung.

The officials in Annan looked bad. Obviously, they realized that Chen Tianping's move had greatly violated their interests. Once a Han man was in power, it would inevitably erode the interests they thought they had obtained. Many people were uneasy.

The entire ceremony can almost be described as a hasty ending. Except for a few people, almost a few have any good moods.

The civil and military officials of the Ming army retreated, and the officials of Annan had already left the palace.

As soon as Li Rui left the palace, he was surrounded by many officials. He said, "My elder, this move is very inappropriate. Once this happens, we will have no place to stand."

Another said: "This is not King Annan, it is clearly the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. It was agreed that he would return the state of Annan, but..."

"They must not be allowed to succeed. I must stop them. Lord Li, you are the central minister. If you do not stand up at this time, Annan will be in danger."

These Annan officials were full of words. If they hadn't known the official language with Annan accent, they would have thought that this was outside the Meridian Gate of the Ming Dynasty, and all the officials gathered together and whispered.

Li Rui seemed a little hesitant. His mind appeared and seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the palace deeply, as if through the high courtyard wall, he could see Chen Tianping, who was ill-intentioned.

Then, he glanced at the officials and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I will try my best."

Li Rui had already felt that he seemed to have completely defeated. It would not take long for him to be played with by the newly ascended King Annan in applause, but he also understood that he had no other way out and that all he could do now was to be lucky.

I hope... I can clear the clouds and see the sun...

Li Rui looked at the foggy weather and showed a bit of oldness.
