Yao Guangxiao glared back at him: "I am discussing the important matter with you, why are you so unfair?"

Hao Fenglou was so angry that he vomited blood. You won more than 90 taels of silver from me. Now I finally want to win, and you told me that I don’t know the importance. He was about to happen, and Yao Guangxiao quickly shook his head and said, “About your merits, the Ministry of Rites has already drawn up. Oh… You have bad luck and many of your merits are not told to outsiders, so the Ministry of Rites has only drawn up a fourth-class for you.”

Fourth class...

Hao Fenglou said: "How many times are there in total?"

Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "Fifth class."

Hao Fenglou was angry: "It's unfair. I'm born and killed, and I don't know how many risks I take. If I hadn't been on the risk of sneaking into Nanjing, would Your Majesty enter Beijing now?"

Yao Guangxiao raised his face: "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty can have today, it is God's will and will. What does it have to do with you? If these words are spread, aren't you afraid of death?"

Hao Fenglou knew that he had made a mistake. Although the emperor might understand his great contributions and also knew his role, these things cannot be said. All the contributions belong to the leader. It has nothing to do with a little shrimp like you. Taking credit for it is a taboo, so he said embarrassedly: "What is the contribution of the fourth class?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "The merits of the fourth-class are mostly some soldiers who are fearless, or some low-level military officers who come from the dragon."

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "If I had known this, I would have been enjoying my life with Your Majesty in Zhenjiang. Why do you come to Nanjing to work hard? Master, you don't know the risks of Nanjing. There are flowers and willows everywhere here, and beauties are scheming everywhere. It will scare you to death if you say it."

Yao Guangxiao packed up the chess box and said lightly: "Some of the credits are really hard to explain. For example, what would Li Jinglong say when you lobby Li Jinglong? He can only say that he has admired His Majesty for a long time and has the desire to serve him. Ask you, according to his words, was he moved by you?"

Hao Fenglou shook his head.

Yao Guangxiao said again: "You also claim to have sneaked into Nanjing, which is very dangerous. There are five cities of military personnel and Yingtian Mansion to arrest the emperor's remnants everywhere, but what do you say about Yingtian Mansion and the five cities of military personnel? They said there was nothing, and they had long admired Your Majesty. They just had their duties and dared not leave their posts without permission. As for arresting the Jingnan Party members, this is even more fictitious. They would never admit it. Can you understand?"

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "That means I have no credit. I ran into Nanjing, and there was no danger or hard work. It was like I came in and wandered around and visited Li Jinglong, so Li Jinglong would surrender easily?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded: "That's the reason, but you don't have to hurry. Of course, you have to plan for you. On that day, Your Majesty entered the palace, why did you ask you to persuade him to go in? The cause and effect of this was today. No matter how great your contribution was, outsiders didn't know. But your Majesty made this persuasion to let Your Majesty remember you. You tried your own life. Your Majesty knew it was not easy to surrender Li Jinglong, but Your Majesty would not specifically remember you, because Your Majesty was busy with all kinds of troubles and could not care about you. But now it's different. Your Majesty's contribution to your promotion is truly remembered in Your Majesty's heart. When Your Majesty sees the merit book, he will probably think about you, and you will not lose your benefits. After all, the regulations drafted by the Ministry of Rites must be taken a look. Wait and see, Your Majesty will remember you."

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "What if His Majesty forgot it for a moment?"

Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "Don't worry, you are a young man, you have the chance."

Hao Fenglou wanted to grab his collar and said viciously: "Bald thief, donkey, pay back the money!"

At this time, in the warm pavilion, everything was like a dream for Zhu Di, who was sitting on the golden chair, so that Zhu Di had not yet recovered. A month ago, he still rebelled against the party, but now, he has become the supreme emperor of the nineteenth century, and like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, he has become the master of the whole world.

But reality did not allow him to adapt slowly, because there were still many things Zhu Di had to speed up his work. On the one hand, it was to stabilize people's hearts, on the other hand, it was to reward meritorious officials, and on the third was to kill people.

You must not relax in anything. Stabilizing people's hearts means temporarily holding on to those centrists. Rewarding is to allow your confidants to be at ease. Killing people is to eradicate those oppositions. This is a compulsory course for any new emperor. In Zhu Di's eyes, there are only three types of people, one is his own people, and one is his own people, and the last one must be completely eliminated by the body. Rewarding one's own people is to let everyone know that following you will have a future; eliminating the third type of people is to tell everyone that whoever dares to fight against me will have a destruction tomorrow.

So, as the whole family of "treacherous officials" were dragged to the court and the entire capital was filled with blood. After several urging, the Ministry of Rites finally handed over the drafted charter.

Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, sat carefully under the imperial court at this time, secretly pondering the holy intention. Ren Ang was a Jinshi at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. After the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he also served as an official in the year of Hongwu. There were very few ministers who could be with the beginning and end of the Hongwu Emperor. His colleagues had long been killed and could survive to this day. Of course, Ren Ang was not a very principled person, because people with principles or who wanted to be clever had long died so hard that they could not die again. What they were left was a group of smarter and completely unprincipled guys.

In order to formulate this charter, Ren Ang has not had a good sleep for more than a month. He organized the entire Ministry of Rites and worked with several ministries to coordinate. Today, he finally wanted to give Zhu Di an explanation, but Zhu Di was satisfied or not, but he was not sure. After all, each emperor has a different personality, and God knows what he thought today.

Zhu Di looked at the charter with interest at this time, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head. Thirty-three people had the first grade of contribution, all of which were selected for Dukes and Magistrates. The first ranked first was Zhang Yu, who was posthumously named Duke Rong, and his son Zhang Fu was conferred the title of Duke Anbo; the second was Zhu Neng, who was awarded the title of Duke Fengtian Jingnan to be promoted to the left governor of the Left Army Governor's Office and was granted the title of Duke Chengguo. As for the third was Qiu Fu, who was awarded the title of Duke Fengtian Jingnan to be promoted to the title of Duke Qi, and was specially promoted to the Ronglu Dafu, the Right Pill Kingdom, the Left Governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, and the title of Duke Qi.

In addition, Chen Heng, Xue Luren and others were also among the most rewards.

Zhu Di was quite satisfied with this and kept nodding.

Ren Ang couldn't help but feel relieved. At this moment, Zhu Di couldn't help saying: "Mr. Yao is not appropriate enough to guard the official civil servants of Fengtian Jingnan, the senior official of Zishan, and the young tutor of the prince?"

Ren Ang was about to answer, but Zhu Di shook his head again: "Just be added to the Prince's Young Master." He continued to read and finished reading the merit charter, and suddenly frowned: "There is someone named Hao Fenglou, what level of Gongli?" Zhu Di remembered Hao Fenglou. It was really that this guy had left him with a deep impression, especially the scene outside the Meridian Gate, which still makes Zhu Di still remember it fresh.

Ren Ang didn't know who Hao Fenglou was at all. He looked confused and shouted in his heart that he was not good, and hurriedly said, "Can we ask Weichen to check it out?"
