Dajin royal family

Chapter 63 You Have Admitted

In September of the second year of Hongye in the Great Jin Dynasty, the King of Han rebelled and was defeated. The emperor thought of his brotherhood and imprisoned the King of Han in the capital.Yang Taisu made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, and was promoted to the Duke of Yue. Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu changed the title to Xu Guogong, and the rest of the three armies were rewarded.

At the same time, on behalf of the king, he defeated the Turks in the north, changed the title of the king to Zhao Wang, and entered the palace to receive a ministerial order to review the six government affairs, and the remaining three armies were rewarded.

During the carnival of this great victory, Jiang Chengxiao was conferred the title of Duke of Langya County by the emperor and granted him a mansion in Chang'an City because of his in-depth dealings with the enemy's camp, plus the merits of rewarding the army and so on.

Jiang Chengxiao was still dazed when he came out of the palace, how could he be awarded "Duke Langya" with his merits.

This Duke of Langya County is not a simple title, because it is not an empty title. Jiang Chengxiao's salary in the future will be issued according to the tax of Langya County.Even if he doesn't do anything, he can still sit at home and collect money in the future.

It stands to reason that it would be good to be a county duke, but the emperor gave him the title of county duke, which made Jiang Chengxiao very puzzled.

But right now he has no time to worry about the emperor's reward, because he is about to face his father, Jiang Ling who was named King Zhao more than ten years ago.

Dai Wang and Zhao Wang, the latter is far more noble than the former.

Stopping in front of Prince Zhao's Mansion and looking at the "Prince Zhao's Mansion" that had been replaced with a plaque, he was in a strange mood at the moment. He was about to face his father whom he had never met before. His heart was blank and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Owner?"

Nan Jiyun gently reminded him beside him, seeing the solemn expression on his master's face, he was very puzzled.

Jiang Chengxiao was riding on the horse. The horse snorted and shook its head, followed by dozens of silent house slaves.

"go in."

When everyone entered the mansion, Jiang Chengxiao caught sight of Concubine Zhao Zheng who had been waiting for him early, and hurriedly dismounted and walked forward, saluting respectfully, "Mother."

Zheng smiled and took Jiang Chengxiao's palm, "My son is also a pillar now."

The fact that Jiang Chengxiao was named Duke of Langya was conveyed by a servant early in the morning, so Mrs. Zheng also knew about it.

Mrs. Zheng took his hand and walked slowly, followed by a large group of maids and servants.

"Your father is waiting for you in the study. You should be more energetic when you go. He is not in a good mood recently. My son should be more careful when he sees him." Zheng said softly.

Not in a very good mood?

Jiang Chengxiao was puzzled, why he was in a bad mood, didn't he get promoted.

"I see." Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he talked and laughed with Zheng all the way.

After a cup of tea, Jiang Chengxiao went into the study alone, and saw Zhao Wang Jiangling sitting reclined on the couch, reading with a scroll in his hand.

"See father." Jiang Chengxiao knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.

King Zhao took his eyes away from the scroll, sat up straight, and looked at his son. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. His body was indeed much stronger, his face was rosy, and he was no longer sick like last year.

"Sit down." Jiang Ling responded lightly, letting him sit on the couch.

After Jiang Chengxiao sat down, Jiang Ling said: "I heard from your mother that you are exercising in the mansion and serving the country these days. It is very gratifying for your father."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled faintly, leaned forward and said, "It should."

Jiang Ling then asked him some things about his knowledge, and then said: "Your Majesty named you Duke of Langya County, what do you think?"

"Reporting to my father, I am also very puzzled by this son. It stands to reason that my son did not make an inch of merit in the suppression of the rebellion. I don't know why His Majesty wants to reward him."

"Then, do you know that His Majesty named his father King Zhao and took the position of Shang Shuling?" Jiang Ling stared at Jiang Chengxiao, he wanted to see if his son was smart enough.

Jiang Ling's words made Jiang Chengxiao fall into deep thought. Obviously, there should be some kind of connection between the two.

Could it be that his reward was actually due to his father? Thinking about it this way, he suddenly realized one thing, if his father took the post of Shang Shuling, he must not be able to take care of the army at the same time. In fact, it was because of King Zhao.

No, I misunderstood, there must be other reasons, just based on his father's military achievements, it is enough to confer Zhao Wang Jiashang Shuling, how could the emperor reward him with this conferment again.

Then... Jiang Chengxiao's pupils shrank sharply, and the four words "rising brightly and falling darkly" suddenly appeared in his mind.

That's right, his father entered the court and received the Minister's Order, so he must not be able to continue to lead the army. The emperor seized the military power of Zhao Wang, and his title is actually the emperor's appeasement to Zhao Wang!
"I'm stupid, please tell my father." He had already guessed the answer, but he didn't intend to say it directly.

Jiang Ling stared at him for a long time, the tea on the table had gradually cooled down, Jiang Ling picked up the tea and said, "You really don't know?" test.

On the way back, Jiang Ling had read Jiang Chengxiao's letter to him countless times, and adding Hei Yi's words, now he was somewhat confused about this son.

He felt that his ignorant son was far less dull than he had shown.

Jiang Chengxiao looked into Jiang Ling's eyes frankly, and said: "I do have doubts. Your Majesty is because of my father's contribution, Aiwu and Wu's rewards to me, but I feel that Your Majesty is not like this, so I have doubts in my heart."

In the quiet study room, the dim light fell on Jiang Ling's rough hands. He looked at Jiang Chengxiao's clear and open eyes, and said slowly: "I want to listen to your heart, not to play with me."

He didn't believe that Jiang Chengxiao couldn't see the reason, this kid was probably pretending,

"Son, I really don't know." Jiang Chengxiao still looked at Jiang Ling firmly, without wavering.

Jiang Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slapped his palm on the table with a "bang", and the tea was overturned and flowed down the table.

However, Jiang Chengxiao remained unmoved, still looking at him firmly.

King Zhao squeezed his fists, and the sound of "crackling" bones echoed in Jiang Chengxiao's ears, making his heart beat faster.

"Why, you can't open your heart even with Weifu?" Jiang Ling snorted coldly, "Do you think Weifu can't see the two sentences you deliberately mentioned in the letter?"

Jiang Chengxiao clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves slightly, forced himself to calm down, and said, "What did father say? I don't know."

Looking at the son who refused to admit it, Jiang Ling sighed in his heart and said, "You have already admitted it."

Jiang Chengxiao's heart seemed to have stepped on the air, missing a rhythm.

"Father, my son really doesn't know what you mean."

Jiang Ling waved his hand, looked away, looked at the pattern on the screen, and said, "Forget it, this matter has been exposed, and Weifu already understands it in his heart. Since you don't want to admit it, Weifu won't force you to say anything."

Jiang Chengxiao kept his facial expression relaxed, and calmly looked at the carvings on the window.

Jiang Ling said: "In two days, I will hold a coronation ceremony for my father, and then I will marry you to the eldest grandson's daughter."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded slowly, and suddenly realized what was wrong, wait, isn't his fiancée the third wife of the Yuchi family? When did she become the eldest grandson's family?Who is this eldest grandson's family?
"Father, shouldn't my son's fiancee be Yuchi Sanniang?" Jiang Chengxiao was really "dumb" this time.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling sighed.
