Zhu Houzhao was not in good health, so she rushed to show her goodwill.

Emperor Hongzhi was actually happy.

But in order to teach his son a long lesson, he must not choose to forgive him because of this little thing.

But when Emperor Hongzhi thought of his son's haggard and aggrieved look, he also regretted it.

Just now, my attitude was obviously relieved and I became stern again.

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Your Majesty's attitude is a bit cold, which is also the majesty that the king and father should have."

"Although His Highness is a little more lively, he understands all these principles."

Emperor Hongzhi felt much more comfortable when Li Dongyang said this.

He smiled and said, "Master Li said very well."

"No matter how much the prince is playing, he actually knows the right way."

After the prince was finished, Emperor Hongzhi took the opportunity to explain the selection of a lady.

"The selection of concubines is prepared together with the reward of this great victory in Tianzhen."

"After you have confirmed the choice of a lady, you can leave the rest to the Jinyiwei."

Although they just said that the people in the Ministry of Rites are very busy, even if they are too busy to do these major things, they must complete them on time.

Zhang Sheng had just made preparations, so he naturally responded casually.

"I obey the order."

Zhang Sheng also said: "The prince’s choice of concubine has been confirmed with His Majesty before."

"But I still have some questions about the reward for this great victory in Tianzhen, and I want to discuss it with Your Majesty and the Dukes."

Emperor Hongzhi signaled Zhang Sheng to continue.

"The rewards for the soldiers participating in the war have basically been confirmed."

"But Your Majesty still wants to order to reward the craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau and the personnel of the Research Institute. Is it inappropriate?"

"There is also a subsequent reward and punishment system. I think this reward is a bit too generous."

Not long ago, the Minister of Works Zeng Jian, found Emperor Hongzhi and asked for a reward for the craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau.

However, at that time, Zhu Houzhao ran away. Even if Emperor Hongzhi agreed, the matter was not implemented for the time being.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to reward, Emperor Hongzhi was very happy and gave a reward to everyone.

The Ministry of Rites first prepared a list and handed it over to the emperor, but the emperor waved his pen and added a lot of people.

Zhang Sheng was stunned when he saw this list after being added.

Such a large-scale reward has basically never seen much in His Majesty's rule over the years.

This time, if we go to the forefront, we will make it bigger after we officially go to war and get even greater good news.

Over the years, these ministers have been worried about the money in the treasury and have been thinking about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure all day long. Liu Daxia even took action against the original nobles and kept reducing their rewards.

His Majesty suddenly came again. The nobles who had been reduced in rewards must have a fuss after they knew about these things.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "In this war, the artillery craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau developed and improved artillery played an important role in the battlefield."

"I have made merits and should be rewarded."

"The reward and punishment system is also to encourage these craftsmen to develop and improve better weapons."

"I think these rewards are not bad."

Zeng Jian, who brought up this matter, also echoed: "Your Majesty said very well."

Seeing that they said this, Zhang Sheng gave up the matter for the time being.

Then, bring the topic to the second one.

"In this way, the Firearm Bureau is successful, and it is convincing to have a higher reward."

"But this research institute..."

Zhang Sheng said in a little puzzled manner: "Although the scientific research institute has been built, it has not made any contribution yet."

"Although Dingxi Hou is the head of the research institute, his great achievements alone cannot allow everyone in the research institute to receive rewards, right?"

The contribution of the Firearms Bureau is really worth it, which is reasonable.

But Zhang Sheng couldn't figure it out at all.

Zhao Ce is in charge of the research institute, but the research institute did not participate in the great contribution he made this time.

As for the ten thousand enemies on the battlefield that no one has seen before, Zhao Ce also proposed temporarily, and it was not said that it was developed by the scientific research institute.

No matter how this matter is involved, it cannot be discussed at the Fenggui Research Institute.

It is not impossible for Emperor Hongzhi to understand his behavior of loving the house and the U.S.

But a little too much.

Now the Marquis of Dingxi has made great contributions and is in full swing.

Your Majesty's approach may bring criticism to him.

After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he glanced at Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Your Majesty's decision is of course right."

Originally, he wanted to say it in front of everyone, but Li Dongyang would be more sensible when he heard it and could take the initiative to ask His Majesty to subtract this part of the reward.

But Li Dongyang, who had always been low-key, seemed to not understand Zhang Sheng's meaning at all.

Zhang Sheng was also a little helpless and could only wait for the emperor's explanation.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I am indeed not sure about the contributions of the research institute this time."

"But I also know that in the future, another kind of enemy or hot air balloon will appear, the scientific research institute will definitely be rewarded."

"I think I'm just taking this opportunity to inspire everyone in the scientific research institute."

The research institute is a new department, and there was no such thing as before.

Except for Zhao Ce, who took the lead, others actually have a very vague concept of this research institute.

But this battle allowed Emperor Hongzhi to see the importance of weapon innovation.

The Firearms Bureau and the Research Institute are definitely the top priority for the National Dynasty's future development.

Emperor Hongzhi thought that he took this opportunity to inspire everyone in the research institute together.

At the same time, it is also a big cake for those who are capable in the world.

certainly.

Out of the mentality of loving the house and the mistress, Zhao Ce was more comfortable in doing things in the future. This is the most important reason.

It’s just that for selfish reasons, it’s hard for him to say it out.

Zhang Sheng still felt something was wrong, and he said, "But if he attracted criticism, it would probably be useless to His Majesty's thoughts."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled confidently: "At that time, this matter will be what Dingxi Hou should consider."

"It's a waste of my thoughts, and he has to give me an explanation!"

This time the reward is too much, and Zhao Ce is young, so it will definitely attract criticism.

Emperor Hongzhi had already thought of this possibility before he was confirmed.

But he made such a decision.

The emperor has said this, so Zhang Sheng doesn't have to say anything more.

He had no choice but to agree.

"Since your Majesty has decided, I will continue to arrange this."

Emperor Hongzhi said "yes".

"When you are ready, you will draft an imperial edict earlier and send it out."

"Don't let those who have made great contributions wait too long."

Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart.

This matter is urgent, and the matter of the prince choosing a concubine must be accelerated.
