Yuan Chongqing is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.

He has been in office for less than a year and is considered a newcomer.

People call the Ministry of Rites the Ministry of Death.

It is too risky to serve as an official in the Ministry of Rites, especially the chief official position.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, three ministers of the Ministry of Rites were replaced. It was not until Matsunaga came to the throne that things became stable.

As for the assistants on the left and right, there were also several changes.

Those who can serve as officials in the Ministry of Rites are basically old Confucian scholars.

These people have one thing in common, that is, they don't know how to adapt.

Everything can be related to them.

When His Majesty wants to impose commercial taxes, they jump out and say that they should not compete with the people for profit.

Your Majesty wants to rectify the administration of officials, but they say it violates etiquette and law.

They are even more dissatisfied with His Majesty's plan to implement the unified payment of grain by officials and gentry.

Anyway, we are going against His Majesty.

This resulted in one replacement after another.

The former right minister of the Ministry of Rites was punished because he was implicated in the rebellion caused by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and Yuan Chongqing was succeeded by the minister.

But he embarked on the road of seeking death again.

When I woke up this morning, I listened to my colleagues recount what happened last night.

This matter has been spread throughout the DPRK.

It has even spread to the people.

Yuan Chongqing knew that there must be someone behind this deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

He might be shot.

But these are not important, he is indeed talking nonsense.

This is what he really thinks.

But you can't say it on that occasion.

Now is the time when the whole country is celebrating. Isn't he seeking death?

The more I think about it, the more uneasy I become.

Yuan Chongqing felt that he still needed to be aware of current affairs, so he took the initiative to come to His Majesty to confess!

"Please, Eunuch Cheng, please let me know."

Yuan Chongqing prayed.

"Do you have the nerve to come?"

Cheng Jing was very rude in his words.

"I……"

Yuan Chongqing didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty sends you in."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Cheng."

Yuan Chongqing saw that there was no one around, and quietly handed the money bag in his hand to Cheng Jing.

He wanted to find out His Majesty's reaction.

As a result, Cheng Jing ignored him at all.

Is Cheng Jing incorruptible?

Of course not.

Of course Cheng Jing is also good at collecting money, but he has two principles. One is not to charge big money, because going too far is not enough.

Second, do not accept money from people who have made unforgivable mistakes.

Yuan Chongqing belongs to the latter.

No matter the occasion, no matter the importance.

He didn't live long.

Yuan Chongqing entered the Chui Gong Hall cautiously.

On the way here, he had already thought of an excuse to ask for His Majesty's forgiveness, but when he came in, he found that there were several people in the palace.

He thought it was His Majesty alone.

This is embarrassing.

There are many generals of Tiance Mansion including Xue Huairen, the first assistant, Gong Liangyu, the second assistant, Fei Tian, ​​the Minister of War, Xue Qing, the Minister of Household Affairs, and General Pang Qingyun of the Hussars.

This is a cabinet matter.

Yuan Chongqing was extremely embarrassed.

He came at the wrong time and stood aside with his head lowered.

"The top priority is that the court has to do two things."

Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "The first is reward, the second is compensation."

"Soldiers cannot die in vain, and blood cannot be shed in vain. We must not compromise in this regard."

Fei Tian stood up.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, our Ministry of War is counting the battle achievements, and we will have a rough plan in three days at most."

"good."

Guan Ning said: "We need to communicate more with Tiance Mansion when it comes to statistics of military exploits. There can be no false reporting or underreporting, but there can also be no underreporting."

"Pang Qingyun, you are responsible for supervision."

"It's Your Majesty."

Guan Ning urged: "War merits are related to the rewards and promotions of soldiers. They must be rigorous and no bad situations such as imposters should occur. If found, they will be severely punished!"

He was born as a soldier.

Naturally, we know the way to this.

In fact, it is common to conceal battle losses and falsely report military exploits.

When a large-scale war breaks out, there is no way to record it.

Maybe you don’t even know how many people you have killed, how can others know?

Recording military exploits is complicated.

Generally, it will be recorded directly on a group, such as this Wu, this, etc.

The exact amount an individual will report is a word from the chief officer and general.

Generals always say something to inspire morale.

I will ask for credit for you.

In fact, this is the reason.

Guan Ning doesn't want to be confused, whoever has it belongs to him.

More work, more reward.

Those who have merit will be rewarded.

Only in this way can we convince the public, but this will increase the difficulty of statistics.

"There is no need to rush this matter. It doesn't matter if it takes a long time. The main thing is to be accurate."

Guan Ning said: "Even if you report military exploits, you still have to check the accuracy."

He knows all too well how it feels to have his own merits replaced by someone else risking his life.

"yes!"

What Guan Ning wants to express is fairness and justice.

"There is another issue, which is the standards to be set."

Fei Tian said: "If we follow the standards set before, then the pension alone is a huge expenditure."

"Actually, you don't have to do this."

Fei Tian continued: "You should understand that in the previous dynasty, the Ministry of War provided very few pensions to fallen soldiers, and most of them could not reach the hands of their families. Your setting is too high..."

"It's because the previous dynasty didn't have it that I set such a standard."
