Chapter 273 Killing the Award?

Ji Fushou brought Su and others back to the capital on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Ji Hongzhuo and Zhou's naturally looked her up and down, and then ordered the kitchen to cook a feast for her.

Ji Fushou took the initiative to mention that Ji Sibo had made great contributions in northern Xinjiang, and that he would definitely be promoted when he came back this time.

Knowing that Ji Sibo was not injured, Zhou's heart was relieved, and Ji Hongzhuo also went to the ancestral hall and burned incense for the ancestor, thinking that it was the ancestor's blessing.

On the second day, the good news from Northern Xinjiang was also sent back to the capital.In order to let the people of Daqi know that the army drove away the Xiliang army and regained Dingxiang City, the Duke of Lu specially told the soldiers who reported the news to slow down on the road. Every time they passed a city, they had to announce the victory loudly. Ji Fushou returned to the capital a day late.

The people who heard the news along the way were overjoyed, even happier than they were during the Chinese New Year.

When Emperor Qi Cheng heard the news of the great victory, he was overjoyed and said that he wanted to meet the army in person.

Of course, this proposal was rejected by Wang Yu's "righteous words". Emperor Qi Cheng is Junfu, how could he let Junfu go out of the city to welcome him?

Then it was decided to be greeted by hundreds of officials, and Emperor Qi Cheng was very satisfied with this.

Emperor Qi Cheng was overjoyed, and asked Xi Gonggong to read the memorial written by Lu Guogong in public, "You read it to all your loved ones. At this moment, the monarch and his ministers should have fun together."

Eunuch Xi made a promise, held up the memorial, and shouted in a sharp voice, "I will live up to the entrustment of the Holy Majesty, recover Dingxiang City, drive away the Xiliang army, and wipe out more than [-] people from the Xiliang army."

The memorial was very long, and the Duke of Lu wrote the details of the victory on the memorial. Xi Gonggong read it for a quarter of an hour. Emperor Qi Cheng and the courtiers listened attentively until Xi Gonggong finished reading. Many people reminisce in their imaginations.

Emperor Qi Cheng said with emotion, "Sure enough, I read the Duke of Lu correctly. The commander of the Duke of Lu went out to fight. In just one month, he took back the city of Dingxiang and wiped out the [-] Xiliang army. There are people like Duke Lu. General, I am truly blessed."

Emperor Qi Cheng looked at his elder son Li Yang who was standing on his head, and said, "When Duke Lu comes back, Yang'er, you have to clean up Mount Tai and ask for advice humbly."

Li Yang lay in bed for three months, and finally healed his wounds. As soon as his wounds healed, he immediately went to the court to listen to the political affairs. It was the fact that the courtiers asked for a crown prince last time that frightened him. He has lost a lot of weight. He is the happiest person to hear the news of the great victory in northern Xinjiang today, especially when he heard that the army has returned to the court. When he thinks that Duke Lu will return to the capital soon, he feels as if he has taken a reassurance. , full of confidence, immediately smiled and promised loudly, "Father, please rest assured, my son will definitely ask Taishan about the northern Xinjiang."

After finishing speaking, he glanced vaguely at the third prince Li Chong and the fourth prince Li Ze from the corner of his eye, implying satisfaction.

The third prince Li Chong's face turned pale. Hearing that Feng Hao had feigned surrender to win Xiliang's trust in order to win this victory, he twitched the corners of his mouth cryptically, not paying attention to Li Yang's demonstration.

The fourth prince Li Ze also turned a blind eye to this, and was in a very good mood. After all, Ji Sibo not only accompanied Feng Hao to the Xiliang army several times, but also set fire to the Xiliang granary. These.

At this moment, a civil servant suddenly came out, with an extremely serious expression, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Emperor Qi Cheng was a little displeased. How come there are always people who have no eyesight to see this happy day?In the end, he said lightly, "Zuzao."

The man said, "My lord, since ancient times, there has been a custom of not fighting at the beginning of the year for the sake of good luck. I listened to the play by the Duke of Lu, and the army clearly fought at the beginning of the year. Swords and swords clashed, and so many people died. It's ruining my Daqi's luck!"

Emperor Qi Cheng gradually frowned, and he also remembered that there is indeed this custom, so when the New Year comes, both sides in the war will stop fighting unanimously, not only for the New Year, but the most important thing is to prevent the country from being ruined.

There are folk customs such as not using scissors in the first month, just because they are afraid of getting bad luck, and the practice of not fighting at the beginning of the year in the army has also been passed down for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years, no one has really fought at the beginning of the year. of.

Previously, everyone was immersed in the joy of recovering the lost territory in Northern Xinjiang and driving away the Xiliang army. They really missed that the army fought Xiliang at the beginning of the year. At this time, when the civil servant mentioned it, many people's faces changed slightly.

The civil servant's tone was harsh, "At the beginning of the year, I don't know where my luck will be bad in the next year. Please tell me that although the army has won a big victory, compared with the bad luck of the country, the merits and demerits will be equal. Proposal, the person who proposes this strategy should withdraw the reward."

Li Yang, Li Chong, Li Ze and their courtiers from the same line were all taken aback, their complexions were dark.

If the civil servant's proposal is really followed, could it be said that no one in the army can confer rewards this time?
Emperor Qi Cheng squinted his eyes, a look of joy flashed across the bottom of his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up vaguely, and his eyes fell on the civil servant with great satisfaction.

Li Ze stepped out first, and said loudly: "Father, the war in northern Xinjiang is urgent, there is no reason to fight and choose a date, it is impossible to be killed for this kind of nonsense, right?
If the Xiliang army chooses to attack at the beginning of the year, is it necessary for the army to watch the Xiliang army attack the city without taking a knife or gun because of this so-called custom?

Civil officials rule the country, military generals defend the country, some people can stand here and speak freely, this is because the soldiers fought bravely.Just because of this so-called practice, it is necessary to withdraw the rewards for the meritorious ministers. This move is nothing less than chilling the hearts of the soldiers, and it will also set a bad head. What rules have been broken, if the military plane is delayed and the opportunity is missed, wouldn't you regret it?

Master Qi, if you are a civil servant, if you cannot pick up a knife and gun and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, then please congratulate the soldiers who have won the battle, instead of accusing them of breaking the rules at this moment.

The integrity of my Daqi country and the stability of the northern border are all due to the self-sacrifice of the soldiers. Today I will never allow anyone to slander and obliterate the achievements of these meritorious men! "

Mr. Qi's breath was stagnant, his face was ugly, he didn't expect that the fourth prince, who had always been inclined to the side of the civil servants, would come out to speak for the group of warriors first.

On the contrary, the military generals in the main hall were very satisfied with Li Ze's statement, and the dissatisfaction with Lord Qi's words gradually calmed down. They only felt that what the fourth prince said was absolutely right. They bought it with blood and sweat, and they will never allow anyone to obliterate their credit, otherwise they will talk about defending their home and country in the future?
