There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 467
"Your Majesty, what did the Tang newspaper say? What's going on in Youzhou? What's going on in Hebei Province?" Liu Shizhong asked in a trembling voice. His question was also the question of all the prime ministers.

The queen came back to her senses, faced the complicated eyes of the prime ministers, smiled and said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, Hebei Road is fine, and Youzhou is fine too. This is a good news!"

"Good news?!"

The prime ministers looked at each other, and then they held their hands and breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was a good news, it meant that the worst case did not happen.

After feeling relieved, the prime ministers immediately became very interested in the good news and were eager to know what was said in it.

The Queen did not pass the good news to the prime ministers this time, because it mentioned a taboo, which was related to the Meihua Internal Guard, and it was not convenient for the prime ministers to know.

Facing the suspicious eyes of the prime ministers, she dictated:

"Fifty thousand cavalry from the Liao Kingdom marched southward with overwhelming force and broke through the natural barrier of our Jimen Pass in one fell swoop! However, it was not because Jimen Pass was easily broken, but because a traitor appeared!"

"Traitor? Damn it!" the prime ministers were filled with indignation.

"Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that the traitor be divided into five horses and executed in a hurry!"

"..."

The Queen waved her hands gently, and after the prime ministers were quiet, she continued: "After fifty thousand Liao troops broke through Jimen Pass, they went straight to Youzhou City."

"However, fortunately, your mother sent a general to guard Youzhou in advance. The general was not an ordinary person. He first...and then..."

"In the end, he not only eliminated the thousands of Liao troops lurking in the city, but also wiped out [-] enemies and captured [-] prisoners... This is a big victory! The first big victory since I ascended the throne!"

"..."

The Queen explained in detail what Su Xian did in Youzhou.

When she said the last sentence, her face was rosy, her chest was heaving, and she seemed very excited.

Since she ascended the throne, she can be said to be conscientious. If she wants to use her civil and military skills to prove the correctness of her ascending to the throne, she must do some meritorious deeds.

In terms of civil affairs, she actually achieved quite a lot. It was not easy for the Liang Dynasty to continue the glory of the previous dynasty in her hands.

In terms of martial arts, he was a bit lacking. For more than ten years, he had made no achievements. Every time he had a small friction with the Liao Kingdom, Daliang was defeated and never won.

But now it's good, this shortcoming has been made up.

Under her wise leadership, the Daliang Empire finally won a great victory.

And it’s a rare victory!

She couldn't help but feel excited. This was really important and meaningful to her!

The prime ministers listened with great enthusiasm.

Among them, the prime ministers of the Sixth Department of Shangshu are the most active, because Princess Lanling is their immediate boss, and the general sent to Youzhou is their ally!
Qian Zhongshu was Li Youqing's political enemy. He was naturally upset when he learned that Li Youqing's people had withstood a large-scale attack of [-] Liao troops, but he could not show off in the face of such a big deal.

Liu Shizhong laughed loudly, praised the general from Youzhou, and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder who the general from Youzhou is? This is my great hero, and he deserves a heavy reward!"

The queen suppressed her inner excitement and said, "The man's surname is Su Mingxian, from Yingzhou, Hebei Province, and he is an official in your mother's house!"

This was the second time she heard the name Su Xian today.

At this moment, the pads she was wearing, as well as the jade mask she was wearing, were all made by this person... The care of the pads, the support of the jade mask, the feeling of firmness, peace of mind, and solidity, It made her feel slightly strange...

She couldn't help but wonder, who is Su Xian?

He can help Li Youqing solve difficult problems, can also invent wonderful things such as jade shields, and has even made great achievements in marching and fighting!
With such a talent, no wonder your mother admires him so much...

The Queen calmed down and continued with a smile:

"My mother has given me the basic rewards in person as the 'Deposed Envoy of Hebei Province'. In addition, there are two rewards that my mother cannot make the decision about."

"..."

When she said this, she quickly glanced at the good news, her eyes gradually deepened with an inexplicable light.

In fact, Li Youqing listed three rewards in the victory report, and the third one was the suggestion to recommend Su Xian to join the inner guard.

After all, the inside guard is too sensitive.

The queen did not want to mention it in front of the prime ministers.

This is also the reason why the good news is not passed on to the prime ministers for viewing.

"The first one is that Su Xian actually asked for the title of 'equal wife' for a widow. The so-called equal wife is..." The Queen explained briefly, and then said:

"Yes, it's rare for this son to be so infatuated. If you're an equal wife... I'll do it!"

"..."

The prime ministers suddenly looked at each other.

Su Xian actually asked for the title of "equal wife" for a widow. This is too childish!None of them dared to do anything like this that would challenge Tsunada.

The prime ministers of the Sixth Department of the Secretariat would naturally not object, because Su Xian was their ally, and even if Su Xian did something ridiculous, they would have no choice but to nod.

Qian Zhongshu's eyes lit up, this matter deserves to be discussed carefully.

Liu Shizhong frowned slightly. Although he did not participate in party strife, this matter was against ethics and he felt it was necessary to stand up and oppose it.

However, just when Qian Zhongshu and Liu Shizhong were about to speak, the Queen said again: "Second, I will give Su Xian a knighthood in the victory report!"

"A noble?!"

The prime ministers were stunned for a moment, with different expressions on their faces. Not to mention that the prime ministers of the six departments of Shangshu were suppressed, Qian Zhongshu and Liu Shizhong also forgot to refute the "equal wives" proposal.

Giving a noble is much more serious than the discussion of equal wives.

The impact is also greater.

In the eyes of the princes of the imperial court, things like titles are nothing more than blood-sucking insects lying on the Liang Dynasty. Regardless of whether the reasons for granting titles are sufficient or not, their first reaction is -

be opposed to!

"Your Majesty, no, the title should not be conferred lightly!" Qian Zhongshu was the first to stand up and object. Su Xian was Li Youqing's man, so his objection seemed justified.

"Old minister seconded the proposal. Your Majesty, please think twice." Liu Shizhong did not mean to target Su Xian. He just opposed it out of habit. When he proposed to ennoble Dashan, he also advised him.

The prime ministers of the Sixth Department of Shangshu resisted the idea of ​​objecting. They hesitated for a while and finally put in good words for Su Xian:

"Su Chenyi achieved such military exploits, annihilating ten thousand enemies and capturing thirty thousand prisoners. This is our only major victory in Daliang in more than ten years. It is of great significance to deter the Liao Kingdom, which is about to take action!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, with Su Zhiyi's military exploits, it won't be enough to convince the public if he doesn't give him a title. Let's talk about a small Jianguo County man with only three hundred households in the township, and his rank is only from the fifth rank..."

"..."

The empress interrupted this person and said:

"The title I wish to confer on Su Xian is Marquis of the Founding County, with a population of [-] households, from the third rank!"

The prime ministers of the six departments of Shangshu shut up at the same time.

Mom!
Founding County Marquis?
I really dare to think!
Even if they are allies with Su Xian, the corners of their mouths are still twitching at this moment.

Qian Zhongshu and Liu Shizhong reacted the most. They almost jumped three feet high, and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, no, absolutely no..."

The queen held her forehead, thought for a while, and then glanced at the suggestion in the victory report to recommend Su Xian to join the inner guard, and finally made a conclusion: "The matter of making a marquis will be discussed later. Retreat from the court!"
