Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 145; Improved treatment

The emperor and empress came to visit, and since they were talking about this, what could she say?

Queen Shen then said a lot more, generally speaking to express her apology and how she would restrain the prince and others in the future.

Regarding her words, Huo Junyao listened in one ear and out the other, and didn't take it to heart at all.

Just listen to some words. If you are stupid enough to believe them, you may not know what happened in the end.

"Do you plan to live here from now on?"

As Emperor Zhaowu spoke, he looked around.

"Well, it's nice here, it's clean."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu nodded. Princess Ningyang also told him a lot about Huo Junyao after she came to the Hot Spring Villa.

She also knows in her heart that her life here is indeed better than in the capital, at least there are not so many messy things.

"That being said, you are a girl after all, and it's not safe to be alone here."

"How about I select two hundred soldiers from the Forbidden Army and give them to you after I return?"

Huo Junyao was stunned for a moment by his sudden gift, but then she was pleasantly surprised.

This is a great thing. You must know that this is an ancient society, and sergeants are not something that just anyone can qualify for.

Even though there are only two hundred soldiers, this is already considered as a title that one is qualified to have as a prince.

Just say that her father, a dignified founding father and a first-class Duke, was only allowed to have fifty soldiers.

Like her eldest brother-in-law, he was also the founding prince of the country, so he was only qualified to have thirty soldiers.

These are the number of people with strict regulations, and there cannot be more than one quota.

Now Emperor Zhaowu gave her two hundred people at once, and they were selected from the Forbidden Army.

The Yu Dynasty had just met them not long ago, and it was said that these forbidden troops were all elites who had followed the Taishang Emperor and Emperor Zhaowu in their campaigns in the north and south.

They belong to the top group of people in the Yu Dynasty's army. Even the current prince and princes do not have such a configuration.

After the surprise, Huo Junyao immediately realized that something was wrong.

The imperial guards are the most trusted people by the emperor, and they are all elites. But if they are sent to her, are these people loyal to her or to the emperor?

If it's the latter, doesn't it mean that he has two hundred spies around him to monitor him?

I'm afraid that it won't be very convenient for me to do anything in the future.

Thinking of this, she quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but my place is small and I'm afraid I can't support so many people."

Although she wanted the man very much, if he wasn't loyal to her, wouldn't it bring trouble to her if he came?

"There is no problem with this. I will pay the military pay for these two hundred people."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Junyao didn't want it anymore. If you give military pay, will these people still be loyal to him?

"I'm afraid this is against the rules. If other people in the court know about it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

She definitely couldn't get such a person, but she didn't want to give up the quota of two hundred soldiers.

After all, these are two hundred thugs, but they can do a lot of things for themselves.

"Your Majesty, what Yaoyao said makes sense. This is indeed not in line with the rules. If people in the court know about it, it will inevitably cause trouble."

After Empress Shen's reminder, Emperor Zhaowu immediately came to his senses. Nowadays, the officials and noble officials in the court are not economical. Huo Junyao was impeached just once because of the gold medal given to him by the Supreme Emperor.

If they find out about this again, I'm afraid there will be another riot, especially the censor Zhongcheng Meng Xuancheng, who has to antagonize him every time he goes to court.

"I don't think about it, but it's really not safe for a little girl like you to live here."

"Your Majesty, I have an idea. The quota remains unchanged and Yaoyao is allowed to recruit by herself. As for the cost of these people in the future, Your Majesty might as well increase Yaoyao's salary?"

"In this way, although someone in the DPRK will still say something, the impact will be much smaller."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is a good method, then just do as the Queen said."

"Yao Yao, what do you think?"

Well, this method is naturally excellent.

The quota has been saved. Although she recruited the people herself, she can rest assured that they can be used. As for what she just said about not being able to support two hundred people, it was just a casual comment.

Not to mention that there is Duke Ji Guo's Mansion standing behind her. Just by her own means, not to mention raising two hundred people, she can still afford it even if it costs ten times or a hundred times.

"Everything depends on the emperor and the queen. I have no objection."

Not long after, the emperor and empress got up to say goodbye and return.

That afternoon, Gao Fu came with Emperor Zhaowu's imperial edict. Not only did he give her a quota of [-] soldiers, but he also raised her salary to the level of a princess.

As a princess, enjoying the princess's salary is the only one in the Yu Dynasty.

This is a favor. Although it is not in line with the rules, it is to enjoy the treatment of a princess and does not require the appearance of the household department. Instead, it goes directly to the royal funds. It is a special favor from the emperor and the empress. It is not easy for the courtiers to say anything.

As for the quota of two hundred soldiers, although it goes beyond the rules of etiquette, the situation of Princess Zhaode is known to everyone in the powerful circles in the capital, and they also know that this is compensation given by the empress. This kind of thing is something that cannot be envied and jealous of. .

Besides, with all the things she encountered, I'm afraid no one would be envious or jealous of her.

However, although everyone knew the reason why she received such an honor, there were still some people who were dissatisfied.

I won’t mention those tough Yanguan and Yushi Zhongcheng Meng Duo Nao. After all, they make a living by criticizing the sky and the earth. If they don’t criticize others, do they still have the meaning of existence?

Among the dissatisfied people, the ones who jumped up and down the most were the members of the gentry, among whom the Zheng family was the most showy.

Almost as soon as they heard the news, someone started writing an impeachment memorial.

On the morning of the next day, Zheng Wengong of the Zheng family took the lead in standing up to impeach, followed closely by some officials from the gentry, as well as Yan Guan and Meng Daotun.

Emperor Zhaowu was not angry at all about this. After all, he had already expected this. He simply explained it and suppressed it forcefully on the grounds that the decree had been issued and could not be taken back.

And those impeachment court officials also knew in their hearts that it was impossible for the emperor to take back the order. After all, it was an imperial decree. So was there any reason to take it back as soon as it was said to be taken back?

Impeachment or something like that is just to express one's attitude and establish a persona that is worthy of remonstrance.

At Hot Spring Villa, Huo Junyao also attaches great importance to recruiting soldiers, but she doesn't understand it either.

And she still had a lot of things to do, so she asked Hongxiu to take the message to her mother and ask her to help with the recruitment.
