The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 63
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hongde's laughter echoed in the hall.

What Qiu Shi'an said just now was to remind Emperor Hongde that Jia Jing's reward should be carefully considered.

After all, Jia Jing is only 19 years old now, and he is already a first-class marquis. Although the Supreme Emperor compensated the Jia family, it is an established fact that a feudal marquis is a feudal marquis, and the position has been raised.

Jia Jing was already the Marquis of Wu at the age of 19. What if he made great contributions in helping Dongsheng City like this time?
In recent years, the DPRK and China have fought continuously year after year. With Jia Jing's bravery, it is not difficult to make meritorious deeds.

But what would Emperor Hongde do if there was nothing left to seal in the future?
Throughout the dynasties, those bloody lessons are all there!
Therefore, Emperor Hongde understood what Qiu Shian said after thinking about it.

However, since Jia Jing has meritorious service, a reward must be awarded, but there is still a method for the proportion between the award and the reward, which needs to be carefully considered.

It can't be too harsh, chilling people's hearts, but also leave enough space for future rewards, so as not to be unsealable in the end!
How to reward Jia Jing, this question really gave Emperor Hongde a headache for a while.

Yes, just for a while!
Because Emperor Hongde quickly thought of a way to get the best of all three.

He only used one of the crooked ideas that Qiu Shi'an gave him before, and the other one was just to spread some rumors with Lin Ruhai, but he still didn't really use it.

Wouldn't it be just right to use it here now?

Give a marriage first, and then give Lin Ruhai's daughter an imperial order!

The emperor gave Jia Jing a great honor by bestowing a marriage; then bestowing a royal order on his wife was considered a disguised reward for Jia Jing; finally, if he rewarded Jia Jing himself, wouldn't it be over?

In this way, Emperor Hongde can not only get rid of a trouble, but also make his confidant ministers to work for him even more desperately, and even pull Jia Jing to his side through Lin Ruhai.

So, kill three birds with one stone!
The problem that Qiu Shi'an discovered was solved with the strategy that Qiu Shi'an offered!

Emperor Hongde looked at Qiu Shi'an who was standing bowed, his eyes became more kind, Qiu Banban is a quick-witted talent!

Could it be that this is the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell in disguise?

"Old lady, old lady, what a happy event!"

At the entrance of Rongqing Hall, Zhou Rui's family ran over panting.

Hearing the yelling, Jia's mother was startled at first, but after hearing that it was a happy event, she regained her previous calmness.

"Sit down and catch your breath first!" Mother Jia signaled Zhou Rui's family to sit down first, and then told the little maid who was waiting on the side: "Go and pour Zhou Rui's family a cup of tea!"

Sitting on the brocade bench, Zhou Rui's family didn't wait for their breathing to be steady, and said to Jia's mother with a smile on their faces: "Old lady, guess what I saw on the street today when my family went out to do some errands?"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Don't whet my appetite. If you have a happy event, tell it quickly, or you won't be rewarded with a penny later!"

Hearing this, Zhou Rui's family hurriedly continued: "My family went out today, but met the messenger who came back from Saibei on the street!"

"Really?" Mother Jia sat up straight involuntarily, "But there is news about Brother Jing?"

"Why don't you say that, old lady, you are so good at predicting things!" Zhou Rui's family complimented: "My family said that on the street, I only heard messengers shouting Dongshengwei's victory all the way, and the vanguard army defeated the Tatars. , Killed [-] people, and captured [-] people.

The guy in my family thought, isn't this vanguard army commanded by Lord Hou in our mansion, and immediately he didn't care about things, so he hurried back to announce the good news! "

"The Tatars were killed and retreated?!" Jia's mother was overjoyed when she heard the words, "Brother Jing will soon return to the court in victory!"

……

The back building of Rongxi Hall, northeast corner.

In Xiaobaoxia, Daiyu and Baochai are visiting Yingchun. Tanchun and Xichun next door also come to accompany them when they hear the movement.

"So, my brother will be able to come back from Datong in a short time?"

In the room, Yingchun was both surprised and happy when she heard what the maid embroidered oranges.

"Isn't that right? Zhou Rui's family said that it was called by the messenger outside, so how can it be fake?!" Xiuju held her head up, her tone full of certainty.

"Brother Jing is coming back so soon?" Daiyu who was beside her also exclaimed.

In this way, it made Xichun on the side feel like playing tricks.

After Daiyu came to Jia's mansion, because of Xichun's playful nature, she often played with Daiyu, so the relationship between the two is very close.

Hearing Daiyu's exclamation this time, Xichun immediately started her own performance!
"Is it so 'fast'? Are you afraid that someone still thinks it's slow?" Xichun laughed and said, "I still remember that a few days ago, a certain person was standing on the shaft seat of a carriage, waving a white handkerchief and following me. Farewell, third brother!"

As she said that, Xichun even stood on a stool beside her, holding a white handkerchief in her hand, imitating Daiyu's appearance that day, waving her arms vigorously there.

Not to mention, the wobbly one really looked like Lin Daiyu couldn't stand on the horse carriage shaft back then.

Xichun's tricks caused everyone in the room to cry and almost laughed.

"You are the best at talking! See if I don't tear your mouth!"

As for the other party involved, Lin Daiyu, with a bit of shyness and a bit of annoyance, she grabbed Xichun's sleeve and was about to scratch the itchy flesh on her waist.

Seeing this, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

…………

Saibei, Dongsheng City.

After another few days of leisure time, on this day, Wei Guogong Xu Yao opened an account to discuss matters, and ordered someone to invite Jia Jing to come over.

When Jia Jing came to the big tent of the conscription army, he saw that everyone had almost arrived.

They were all smiling and saying something.

Seeing Jia Jing coming in, except for Wei Guogong who was sitting there as an old god, the other generals got up instantly, bowed together and said: "The last general has seen the general!"

Jia Jing first saluted Wei Guogong Xu Yao, and then greeted each other with many generals, and then she had time to sit down.

After Jia Jing sat down, Wei Guogong immediately said: "This time I summoned everyone to discuss matters, but to tell everyone that Shenjing's decree has arrived, and His Majesty ordered me to return to Beijing immediately!"

"Hey... the Tatars were defeated and lost. Now is the time for the leftovers to chase after the poor. The court called me to wait back at this time..." A general next to him complained.

"Huaizhong is cautious!" Wei Guogong heard the words and gave the general a sideways glance. "The imperial court also has difficulties. The army is away. Every day is the consumption of Jinshan Yinhai. The food and drink are all The people's fat and people's ointment of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

What's more, it's already winter, and it's freezing cold on the grassland, which is also a great challenge for our soldiers!Even if you want to use troops against the Tatars, you must wait until the spring of the next year!
If that's the case, it's better to go back quickly, people can save a lot by chewing with horses! "

"What the general said is true," another general said: "It's good to go back, everyone just goes back to celebrate the reunion year, this is a good thing that can't be asked for!
Besides, everyone should thank General Jia for this matter. If he hadn't eliminated the [-] Tatar army in one battle, we might have to freeze here for a while! "

"Yes, in one month, we went from going out to the army to return to the court. This can be regarded as the first in the history of the Great Zhou, haha!"

In the camp, all the generals laughed when they heard the words.

After a while, all the generals dispersed to not mention it.
