His Majesty the Emperor walked back to the throne and sat down. Instead of letting the civil and military officials stand up, he glanced at the ministers.

He raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes to enjoy the wonderful feeling of winning a big victory in the court, and then said lightly: "Zhuqing, please be at peace."

Only then did the ministers stand up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

A faint smile appeared on His Majesty's face. He looked at the ministers and said, "Masters, how many years has it been since Da Chen has not made such contributions?"

"Although Shen Qing used the forbidden army, he led the soldiers from the eastern front across the Huaihe River and attacked the whole camp by surprise, which was a great success."

"This battle should greatly boost the morale of our army and civilians."

When the emperor said this, he glanced in the direction of Yushitai. At this time, the two envoys of Yushitai bowed their heads in silence, and the imperial censor Cao Gan also lowered his head, but his legs were already a little weak.

"Just now, some people in the court questioned Shen Qing's ability."

"Of course, I only received the news from the front line yesterday. My dear friends, you don't know the battle report from the front line. Those who don't know are not guilty."

"But later."

The emperor was extremely happy at the moment, but he still looked calm on the surface, he looked at the position of Wuxiang in Zhongshu, and said with a smile: "Finally, Zhuqing has nothing to say? "

At this time, the ministers naturally had nothing to say, and they all cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor ate up the compliment with a smile, then looked at King Jin, who was also among the civil servants, and said with a smile, "Uncle Emperor, this time it was the coastal capital who made the contribution. Credit, now he has nothing else to do in Fuzhou, I am going to call him back to Jiankang and reward him for his meritorious deeds."

"What does the emperor think?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Jin Wang Li Rui, who has worked in Jiankang Yin for several years, took a deep breath and felt a little excited.

Because when Li Mu went south, His Majesty the Emperor gave the condition that the three generations of King Xu Jin would not descend, now...

His Majesty the Emperor seems to be fulfilling his promise?
He hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is the honor of Quan Zi to be able to serve the imperial court, and both of them have made meritorious service in combat, so it has nothing to do with Quan Zi. Your Majesty must not treat him too favorably."

The emperor clapped his palms and said with a smile: "The emperor's words are a bit harsh. Brother Mu has done a lot for the court in the past few years and offended many people. I must have the rewards I deserve. I can't Let others say that I have treated my brother badly."

"As for the specific reward, we can discuss it after he returns to Jiankang."

After saying this, the emperor said again: "This time, the commander of the coastal capital and the warlord Shen Yi have all contributed a lot."

"The imperial court should give some rewards. As for the specific rewards, the officials of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the prime ministers of Zhongshu will keep it later, and we will discuss it later."

Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at the ministers, and continued: "Okay, that's all for this matter, Zhu Qing has other matters, let's report them one by one."

The emperor opened his mouth, and the court meeting naturally progressed to the next stage, and the ministers who had their own notes came to play one after another.

It's just that Yushitai, which should have been active at this stage, lost its voice collectively this time.

Including the two imperial envoys on the left and right, no one spoke a word, and everyone felt heavy.

Finally, it was noon, and the very torturous court meeting for them was finally over.

His Majesty the Emperor stretched his waist, stood up, and said: "As agreed earlier, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and a few ministers will go to the Ganlu Hall to discuss matters later."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at the sky and said again: "It's getting late, you go after lunch."

After finishing speaking, the emperor, with his hands behind his back, left the main hall of Deqing Palace and returned to the apse amidst the great eunuch's brilliant singing.

After returning to the apse, His Majesty the Emperor sat in his seat and glanced at Gao Ming who followed him back.

"Those old men probably received the news in advance."

The emperor snorted: "What's wrong with you?"

The eunuch Gao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I assure you that the documents sent to Jiankang from Huai'an in the past few days have not been delivered to Zhongshu Province, and all of them have been intercepted by the servant..."

"Even the postmen and servants who came from Huai'an to report the news were detained at the post station and they were not allowed to leave..."

Eunuch Gao knelt on the ground and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Huai'an is too close to Jiankang after all, and several days have passed, there is no way to prevent leaks..."

The emperor glanced at Gao Ming sideways, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't say they heard any disturbances, even if they didn't hear them, they would have guessed all sorts of things in their hearts when they knew that you had detained the postman. You do things..."

Speaking of this, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm in a good mood, so I don't care about you anymore."

The emperor rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "In the future, you should think a little more about things."

Gao Ming lowered his head.

"The servant understands."

"Okay, let's pass on lunch. After I eat, I will fight with those old guys."

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly remembered something, he rubbed his temples, and said: "By the way, I only found out that Zhao Changping was ill this morning. This God of Wealth has done a lot for the court in the past few years. You have everything, take a few imperial doctors to Zhao's house in the afternoon, and take a look at him for me."

Eunuch Gao bowed his head and said, "Yes, the servant girl will go to Zhao Shangshu's residence in the afternoon."

…………

In the afternoon, when His Majesty the Emperor was still fighting the Confucianists in Ganlu Hall, the eunuch Gao Ming left the imperial city with two imperial physicians and went all the way to Zhao Shangshu's home.

Because they were people from the palace, they met Zhao Shangshu very smoothly. The two imperial physicians went up to check Zhao Changping's pulse, sat down and discussed it together, and then prescribed a prescription for the Zhao family.

The illness was not a serious illness, but he was caught with a cold, coupled with physical weakness and restlessness, so he fell ill all of a sudden, with a persistent high fever.

After getting rid of the cold syndrome, it will be fine after a few days.

After the imperial physician prescribed the prescription, Gao Ming walked to Zhao Shangshu's bed, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chang Ping, the imperial physician has already said that your body is fine. After taking the medicine, you should rest at home for a few days and you will be fine."

Zhao Changping had already sat up with the support of his eldest son at this moment. His face was indeed pale, and after nodding his thanks to Gao Ming, he said, "Your body is weak, and you can't get up when you get cold. Don't talk about the affairs of the government, but also cause His Majesty to worry about it, the old man is guilty."

Gao Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Changping's words are not right. When His Majesty ordered our family to come over, he said personally that Mr. Changping has made great contributions to the country over the years. Take care of yourself."

Speaking of this, Eunuch Gao paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Just now the imperial physician said that Duke Changping was restless, but it was because of the front line in Huai'an?"

Zhao Shangshu was silent for a while, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "The dog went with the army, and I am worried about it, but the illness is not entirely caused by it."

"Then our family has good news, and we have to tell Lord Changping."

Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "At today's court meeting, His Majesty also talked about the front line in Huai'an."

"Shen Langzhong was in Huai'an and led the troops across the Huaihe River. He defeated the enemy army in Yangji and Tuhe towns north of the Huaihe River, wiped out thousands of enemies, and brought back many prisoners of the Qi people."

"His Majesty is very pleased."

Eunuch Gao didn't know why, but he talked a little more today than before. He said to Zhao Shangshu, "At this time, His Majesty is in the palace, discussing with several ministers who have yamen, how to reward the frontline."

"Did Lord Changping feel more at ease after hearing this?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shangshu raised his head to look at Gao Ming, and actually felt much more comfortable in his body. He took two deep breaths and sat up straight.

"it is good…"

Zhao Shangshu seemed to be in better spirits: "Okay."

"The front line can have such a great victory."

Zhao Shangshu smiled at Eunuch Gao: "Your Majesty should feel relieved."

Eunuch Gao nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Duke Changping's nephew is really remarkable."

"How many years have there been no one, and they went to the north..."

After the two had a conversation, Eunuch Gao got up to say goodbye. Zhao Changping was uncomfortable getting up, so he asked his eldest son to send the eunuch out.

When Zhao Da returned to his father's bedroom, Zhao Shangshu was already wearing his underwear and sitting on the edge of the bed, his whole spirit seemed to be better.

"Father, you..."

Zhao Da scratched his head: "Are you feeling better?"

Zhao Shangshu shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine. He looked at Zhao Youzhou and asked, "Go and see if there is any letter from Huai'an."

Zhao Da nodded, turned around and went down.

After about half an hour, he actually fetched two letters, handed them in front of Zhao Shangshu, and said: "Father, you are amazing, these two letters were sent by the people in the official station just now!"

Zhao Changping didn't speak, and silently opened the letter.

There were two letters, one was written by Shen Yi, probably saying that Zhao Er was fine on the battlefield and reassuring him.

The other one is Zhao Er's safety letter.

Both are letters sent out on February 23.

Zhao Shangshu silently put away the letter and glanced outside.

these two letters.

It was delivered too slowly.

He quickly figured out the cause and effect, and looked at the imperial city.

After thinking about it, Zhao Shangshu looked at his eldest son with a smile on his face.

"Go make the medicine."
