Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 650 Entering the Palace ([-])
Time passed little by little.

The extremely quiet hall was filled with a nervous atmosphere.

The Minister of Rites was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat from time to time and his whole body was visibly shaking.

He hung his head and shook for a long time, then he mustered up the courage to stand up and ask Emperor Yuan Zhen for instructions: "Your Majesty, I have listed the posthumous positions and posthumous titles."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's face turned extremely dark: "Say it."

The Minister of Rites subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his head and said tremblingly:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Bai Boyuan, the commander of the [-] King's Division, holds the seal of command but does not hold any military position. I believe that he can be granted the posthumous title of General Dingbei of the third rank, with a posthumous title of 'Zhongyi', that is, General Zhongyi of the third rank of Dingbei..."

He raised his head and took a sneak peek, and saw that Emperor Yuan Zhen's expression was not much different from before, so he continued to say tremblingly:
"Bai Zhongyuan was posthumously named General Pingyuan of the fourth rank, with the posthumous title of 'Zhongyong', which means General Zhongyong Pingyuan."

"Bai Shuyuan was posthumously named General Anyuan of the fourth rank, with the posthumous title of 'Zhongzheng', which means General Zhongzheng Anyuan."

"Bai Jiyuan was posthumously named General Xiangyuan of the fourth rank, with the posthumous title of 'Zhongjie', which means General Zhongjie Xiangyuan."

This posthumous post was extremely sophisticated and ingenious, giving Bai Boyuan a military post that was on the same level as his civilian post.

However, the military ranks of the other three exceeded their civilian ranks. This was not too flattering to them, but it was not too stingy or mean either.

This is not only because the Minister of Rites took care of Emperor Yuan Zhen. A veteran minister like this in the court would not be able to reach his current position without some vision and courage.

He also took into account the comments of later generations and the outside world. Ten members of the Bai family died for their country, which was a respectable act. However, apart from being tragic and tragic, this battle did not take back the city after all.

If the posthumous reward is too generous, it will not be fair to those soldiers who died in the great victory.

After weighing several times, he made such a proposal.

Emperor Yuan Zhen frowned, but did not deny it. He moved his body and said: "There are five more people, you continue."

The Minister of Rites broke into a cold sweat again and wiped his forehead: "The eldest son of the Bai family, Bai Jun, has received the third rank of civil service, but because of his junior rank, it is not appropriate to surpass his father and uncle."

"I believe that we can be posthumously promoted to General Huwei of the fourth rank without any additional posthumous title. The second son Bai Zhang, the third son Bai Qiong, the fourth son Bai Qi, and the sixth son Bai Ying can be posthumously promoted to the rank of captain of the fifth rank without any other posthumous title. Posthumous title."

Having said this, the Minister of Rites raised his hand and asked cautiously: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Although Emperor Yuan Zhen was extremely reluctant, after all, such a posthumous title was not so generous that it hurt his eyes. He immediately made a decision:

"According to Aiqing's suggestion, Aiqing immediately formally drafted the document and submitted it to me for approval. Together with the [-] first-class martyrs, it was announced to the world."

When Bai Mingwei and Bai Yu heard this, they immediately kowtowed: "On behalf of my father, uncle and brother, I would like to thank the Lord for your kindness!"

In fact, the level of the posthumous title is not that important.

In this world, there are always many people who carry their burdens forward.

Some of them fight for their beliefs, some fight for their ideals, and some fight for their ambition and greed.Father, uncle, and brother, for the belief of protecting the family and the country, and for the ideal of world peace.

They gave up their writing and joined the army not to make achievements, but to protect their country.

As long as they can be buried in the ground with a clear conscience, instead of being stigmatized as "cowards" and leaving their names in the history books, that will be enough.

This is enough.

The brother and sister could hardly help but blush.

After going through hardships and obstacles, they finally cleared the name of their father, uncle and brother!
At this time, the Queen Mother's voice sounded again: "In a family of eleven sons, only two are left alive. Now Bai Xiang is old, while the seventh son and the youngest son are still young. The whole family, women and children, is living a difficult life."

"The Ai family proposes that in addition to the third-grade imperial concubine Shen, the widows of these martyrs should be rewarded with imperial congratulations. What does the emperor think?"

After saying these words, the Queen Mother looked calmly at the extremely familiar court.

At that time, the late emperor had just left, and undercurrents were surging in the court. Some arrogant ministers took advantage of the new emperor's easy bullying, and began to act recklessly.

Her son, who was in his 20s, was anxious and uneasy in front of the officials. He huddled on the throne and did not dare to speak.

She was the one who sat behind the curtain with her son for three years. Only when Wei Yong finally came to the throne did she retreat behind the scenes.

Now she is here again, to the place where she once dominated.

There was no curtain specially erected for her, but at this moment, her son's strange and terrifying gaze had already erected a high wall between mother and son.

This result was what she had expected.

But she doesn't regret sitting here.

Over the years, in order to maintain the relationship between mother and son, she turned a blind eye to many things, but in the end she could only watch the decline of her ancestors' foundation.

She is first and foremost the Queen Mother of a country, and then an ordinary mother.

The relationship between mother and child should not be placed above national affairs in her case.

What's more, Wei Yong handed over the late emperor's jade pendant.

Wei Yong was begging her for help, how could she just sit back and watch?

When Emperor Yuan Zhen heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.

That smile was meaningful, wrapped in anger and evil.

However, his voice was strangely gentle: "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true."
