Chapter 388
Qi Yunliang didn't speak, but restrained his thoughts and looked at Princess Gongsu and smiled as a response. Originally, he was curious why Prince Gongsu only brought his concubine with him at the palace banquet. It was early in the morning that he would have expected that the emperor would make such a move, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions for a while, and he would feel more at ease with Princess Gongsu persuading him.

"When you mention Prince Yu, you have to mention those soldiers guarding the border. If it weren't for them who shed blood for the country, there would be no moment for me to feast with you today."

All the emperor's words were based on his own ideas. Firstly, the recovery of Prince Yu was followed by the main topic. The so-called soldiers who shed their blood naturally couldn't do without the late General Xu.

Everyone knew the emperor's intentions like a mirror, and they were bored in their hearts, but they had to accompany the emperor to finish the drama.

Prince Yu gave Prince Gongsu a wink, and Prince Gongsu immediately understood. He straightened his expression, stood up and clasped his hands and said to the emperor: "The emperor loves the soldiers and the people. Heyuan's blessing is the best in the world." Fu, as the emperor's younger brother, I should think the same way, so I dare to ask the emperor for the rewards of those heroes who died for the country, so that the soldiers will know that the emperor has never forgotten his love for the country. People who have contributed to the country."

Someone needs to cooperate with the emperor to say something like this, and Prince Yu can't speak easily, otherwise, if he accidentally makes an excuse to buy people's hearts, the gain will not be worth the loss. The person who has been in charge of soldiers and friends is the most suitable person to speak, and it can also make the emperor feel at ease.

"Okay, Prince Gongsu's thoughts are very popular with me." The emperor looked at Prince Gongsu with bright eyes and a little more appreciation in his eyes, "Since Prince Gongsu has opened his mouth, I will grant your request."

"Those who have been loyal to the country, if they have children to join the army, they don't have to start as soldiers. In addition, the families of these soldiers will be rewarded. Each family will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver for the generals, and each family will be rewarded 300 taels of silver, and so on."

"The emperor is merciful, the emperor is wise, long live, long live." As soon as the emperor's words fell, all the people present stood up and then knelt down together, chanting the emperor's sageness and kindness.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

The emperor only rewarded some heroes who had lost their military ranks, but he did not mention General Xu alone. The emperor wanted to say something for General Xu, so he was currently thinking about how to speak.

The chief assistant Qin Yeqin previously held objections to many matters of the emperor, but he did not completely deny them. Part of the reason was naturally because the emperor suppressed him, and on the other hand, it was indeed because of suggestions on state affairs. All out of selfishness.But now seeing that people like Prince Yu have surrendered in front of the emperor, if he continues like this, the emperor may use himself to make an example of others.

"Your Majesty, one of my subjects doesn't know what to say."

The emperor looked coldly and said that it was Mr. Shoufu who was speaking, and he was not too embarrassed, so he allowed him to speak.

"The heroes and heroes that the emperor rewarded were all soldiers who died in battle. It is said that they are all heroes of He Yuan, but since the hero is mentioned, the minister cannot mention one more person."

"Oh?" When the emperor looked at Qi Yeqin again, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was interested in Qi Yeqin's words. "I don't know who the Lord Shoufu mentioned?"

"What I want to say is the general Xu Zhao who once saved the late emperor and the front of the battle." Qi Yeqin bowed his head and said, no one could see the expression on his face clearly, but it was extremely sincere when heard from the words.

In the 14th year of the first emperor, there was a personal conquest by the emperor, and this was the only time when the first emperor was in power. At that time, the enemy knew that it was the first emperor's personal conquest, so they wanted to capture the king to boost the morale of the army, so they arranged for a surprise attack. At that time, the emperor It is also the same to stand in front of the battle and not shrink back.At that moment, General Xu Zhao heard the sound of the feathered arrows shooting over, so he stepped in front of the emperor, and then shot the thief with his backhand in a calm manner.

But later, because the arrow was too fast and shot extremely deep, General Xu Zhao died.In order to thank General Xu Zhao for saving his life, the emperor bestowed on the deceased General Xu Zhao the title of Loyal and Brave General, but General Xu’s family had no sons, so there was no successor, so for so many years, General Xu’s mansion has only held the title of General Xu Zhao. The salary barely survives.

"General Zhongyong is not only the late emperor's life-saving benefactor, but also the mother's family of the empress I personally chose, so there should be some rewards based on emotion and reason."

The emperor wiped away Qi Yeqin's credit with a single sentence, and it was true that he spoke for the emperor, but it did not mean that the emperor would not pursue his past affairs at all.The reason why the emperor tolerated him so far is probably because of the high authority of the chief assistant, and his dismissal of the old ministers when he first ascended the throne will inevitably make other loyal ministers in the court sad, and it is also because Qi Yeqin is still quite serious in state affairs even though he is making trouble for him everywhere. Have your own opinion.

Qi Yeqin was suddenly speechless by the emperor's words, and didn't know what to say.The emperor obviously didn't appreciate his favor. Under such circumstances, Qi Yeqin's face could be regarded as being humiliated by the emperor, but he couldn't say anything.Although he knew that the emperor would not completely eliminate his anger just because of this incident, but the emperor's move was really embarrassing.

But fortunately, the emperor didn't pay too much attention to Qi Yeqin, but turned his head to look at Xu Jingshu who was sitting there and said: "General Zhongyong has made meritorious deeds and died for the country, so the posthumous title General Zhongyong is Zhongyonghou, and Mrs. Xu Chang, the wife of Zhongyonghou, has not failed the emperor's grace to raise her daughter uprightly and courteously. Therefore, today I regard Mrs. Xu Chang as the first-class wife of the imperial order of the country, and specially grant Xu Jingshu, the daughter of Zhongyonghou. From now on, you can enter the palace to learn the rules of the palace and temporarily live in the Empress Dowager's palace."

"My daughter Xu's Jingshu brought her father, and her mother thanked the emperor Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

When Xu Jingshu heard the emperor's words, her heart was already as uncontrollable as a frightened rabbit, but she pretended to be calm for fear of losing her manners, and bowed to the emperor in abiding manner.

After the emperor finished speaking, he was thanked by Mrs. Xu, but he still didn't stay on Mrs. Xu's body. It made people wonder why the emperor was so kind to Xu's family, but he was so indifferent to Xu Jingshu, but No matter what the Sacred Heart is, the Xu family's girl and queen's position is probably secure now.

In the past, even if the palace needed to teach the wedding, including those noble ladies who entered the palace to serve the emperor, the aunts sent by the palace to teach in person, Xu Jingshu who entered the palace to teach was the first case. This is not to mention that the emperor who entered the palace did not just reward a palace to live in first, but let her live in the queen mother's palace, which shows how much the emperor treats Xu Jingshu.

"Congratulations, Miss Xu."

"congratulations."

The congratulatory sounds from all around slowly rose, while Xu Jingshu maintained her composure on the surface, but unconsciously bent her fingers slightly, and greeted everyone's congratulations in return according to the rules.
