Chapter 89 Rewards and Punishments
Soldiers were sent to clean up the battlefield.

Burn the enemy's corpse to prevent the epidemic from rotting; collect the corpses of the comrades, find out the name tags, family letters, relics, etc. in their arms, and use them for enthronement lists, arranging pensions, and informing their families.

Gather the materials on the battlefield, the horses that were cut to death or bleed to death or not yet dead, these can be dried and stored for use as military rations.Most of the things on the Hu people are not very valuable, but there are also a lot of them gathered.

There were even more things left behind at the barbarian settlement. In the main tent there were gold and silver utensils, blankets, scimitars, etc. that had not been taken away.

It took a whole day to clean up the bloodstains on the battlefield and the city gate. Even so, the city gate and the ground on the battlefield also attracted many flies and scavenging wild animals.

The residents in the city did not dare to go out of the city for the first few days, for fear that someday the barbarians would come again, but they had lived here for a long time, and their nerves were very tough. After a few days of panic, they returned to normal. Those who buy and sell do business, and those who want to work do work.After all, if you have survived, you must continue to live.

Xu Shu and the others also have matters that need to be dealt with later.

For example, how to play out the whole process, since Xu Shu learned that there was someone meddling behind the scenes, she and Magistrate Zhou reached an agreement, that is to try not to let Fucheng interfere, so as not to put a few nails in the bad things.

They did it, and they did not hesitate to detain the person sent by Captain Zhou to deliver the letter, and they even got rid of Li Junshi.

But after the war is over, whether it is a reward for meritorious service or an answer for the borrowing of troops from Fucheng, it all needs to be reported to the court.

Fortunately, Fucheng didn't want to be held accountable, or felt that the incident this time was not a big deal, so they didn't formally report to the court.

In addition, there have been constant turmoil in the capital in recent days. Even if there are some rumors spread by people with ulterior motives, whether they are directed at Pei Wei or trying to drag Pei Peng into the water, it is because there is no report in Taizhou and there is a lack of evidence. It was also shelved in the end.

It was Wang Yin who informed about the wind in the capital.Although he doesn't like to manage things very much, the Wang family is in the limelight now, and there are many people who leaked some information to him, hoping to sell it well.

Xu Shu took Wang Yin's letter and read it carefully, and felt a little more relaxed.

Wang Yin did not simply state the information he had received, but also revealed Pei Wei's unwillingness to investigate Xu Shu and others' delay in submitting the report and even deliberately concealed the information.

This is normal. After all, after Pei Wei officially came into contact with the government after his filial piety, and at the juncture of his wedding, the incident of foreign enemies invading him somewhat showed that he was not recognized by heaven and earth as a king.

Especially since the place where the crime was committed was not only the fiefdom of his sister, whom he had recently valued, but also the jurisdiction of his queen's grandfather, it was even easier for someone to make an issue out of it.

I think the people behind the scenes also mean the same thing. They accumulate bones and destroy them, and everyone's opinions make gold.

Pei Wei didn't have a very good reputation in the court. He had never experienced the pre-enthronement test period like most emperors did, and he didn't have a tough mother queen and mother clan like other young emperors who ascended the throne. Before pro-government, he built a reputation for being smart and studious day after day.

He was a prince who was dug out of the cold palace out of thin air. He had no reputation or power of his own, and his unstable temper brought bad rumors to him from time to time.

If, just after he was in power, there were foreign enemies coming, and just after he got married, the inner city of the capital was on fire and Chengyang County was destroyed, then even the officials who didn't believe in gods and Buddhas would feel that he was unlucky Bar.

And it is easier for common people to believe in such karma. No matter how stupid Pei Wei is, he would have thought that if these two things happened at the same time when he got married, then his material opinion among the people would completely decline.

What will he do then?The only way Pei Wei could think of to break the situation was to blame Wang Shu for everything, and this was not considered a break, it could only be regarded as his struggle to survive.

After all, even if Wang Shu is thrown out to quell the material controversy, his bad reputation as the emperor will not be easily melted away, and he will also cause filth with the Wang family for this.

When Pei Wei thought about the possible development of this matter and the possible response he might have made in a hurry, he felt chilled in his heart.

From this point of view, he really had to accept Pei Peng's love. First, she discovered the evidence that Shao Cangman was threatened and prevented the turmoil in the inner city. Then Xu Shu controlled the situation in Chengyang County and did not attend his wedding. At that time, an urgent report of a foreign invasion came.

Therefore, he quite agreed with Xu Shu's decision to postpone the memorial, and naturally he would not take this matter to anger the people in Chengyang County.

The delivery of the military information was extremely fast. Pei Peng got the news that her daughter was safe and had won a battle in Beijing. My daughter asks for some favors, and also asks for some favors for Chengyang County.

After a few more days, when Xu Shu's letter to her parents was received, Pei Peng took the letter to her and entered the palace.

Xu Shu's letter was written under the guidance of Mr. Wu. It is said to be a letter, except that the wording is a little more intimate, but the overall content is more like a document for asking for credit written in the taste of her daughter.

Not only did she write down the information that the prince of the Albanian tribe was in her hands, she could use it to negotiate terms with the Albanian tribe.

She also wrote that she guessed that the person behind the scenes wanted to use this matter to deal with her uncle, so she strongly advocated investigating while responding to the challenge and not rushing to report it to the court, lest it be detrimental to her uncle.

She also didn't forget to write down the affairs of the Tian County Cheng family, and hoped that her mother would tell her uncle that she didn't have such a capable spy at her disposal, so she didn't find out about the matter. She hoped that Pei Wei could send someone to thoroughly investigate the relationship between the Tian family and Quan Xiang. trade.

Finally, she also strongly praised the work of Magistrate Zhou and Lieutenant Meng, and thanked Fucheng for sending reinforcements.

In short, she wrote clearly about showing merit, showing weakness, and asking for rewards for her own people.

Combined with the memorial sent by Wang Yin and the documents from Chengyang County, it was enough for Pei Wei to clearly understand the development of the matter, and also understand who should be rewarded and who should be punished.

He didn't even take the path of discussion at the court meeting, and directly called a few important ministers who were more supportive of his decision, as well as department heads who needed to be involved in issuing the imperial edict, and simply and rudely characterized Xu Shu's concealment of the report as a matter of urgency, symbolic The local government fined the relevant personnel one year's salary, which is considered to have taken over the whole matter.

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. If there are punishments, those who should be rewarded will also be rewarded.

Especially for Xu Shu, he was not familiar with the niece at all and had no feelings for her. However, the niece considered his reputation when doing things and had to give him a higher opinion.

Although being able to win the battle depends more on the command of Lieutenant Meng and the logistics of Zhou County Magistrate, but Xu Shu must be the most credited for keeping the news from leaking and blocking the conspiracy of the people behind the scenes.

At this time, Pei Wei was somewhat eccentric, Zhou County Magistrate and others rewarded some cloth, gold and silver, but Xu Shu got [-] more households.

Others have no objections. Isn't this normal?If the emperor was not partial to his own relatives, then the Eight Traitors and Five Mosquitoes would not specifically mention the people around the emperor. It can be seen that the emperor's partiality has existed since ancient times.

But this time he was not too biased. Xu Shu, a teenage girl, even with the help of talents, was able to capture a barbarian prince, control the public opinion, and even kill a few heads without adding chaos to the battle situation. It is also worth rewarding.

 Thanks for the monthly ticket of Shuyou 2019.
