Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 329: Deteriorating Reward

"But speaking of it, King Yan is really powerful. Jinzhou has been harmed by Xiliang for twenty years, and now it finally belongs to me again. Read М"

The woman in green on the left is holding her chin up with a smile in her eyes.

The woman in red on the right instinctively looked around and said softly: "But I heard that the other princes were not very happy, and His Highness Prince Yan stole the limelight again."

Changle snorted softly, "If they are unhappy, let them be unhappy. If all of them are like King Yan, why would the royal family be so embarrassed?"

"Your Highness the Princess is right, but it's better not to let outsiders hear, otherwise you will be hated again." The woman in green said softly.

"It's right for them to hate me. If I don't hate them, I am colluding with them. These young men don't want to serve the country, they only know how to talk. They might as well be a prostitute like us." Princess Changle raised her eyebrows.

The woman in red smiled and said nothing.

In Jinling, only Princess Changle has always unequivocally supported King Yan.

She knew that this was not only the upright character of Princess Changle, but also related to her past.

After all, the princess of Changle used to be named Nian.

"Since it's a spring outing, it's better not to talk about these important matters of family and country." The woman in green suggested at this time.

The others nodded, and the four of them chattered about interesting things about Jinling.

The young lady of a certain family and the young master of a certain family were caught in secret.

Which company sells the best cloth, and where is the poetry gathering going to be held?

Laughter and laughter kept coming from the boat.

The laughter like silver bells spread to the shore, and the scholars wished they could look through the boat and see what the woman inside looked like.

Following the Jiuqu River to the south, at the same line as the southern end of the palace, the Jiuqu River suddenly turns east, crosses a white jade bridge, and enters a garden surrounded by walls.

This is a royal garden.

Different from the royal forest garden for hunting, this is where the emperor went for his spring outing.

Today is a sunny day, not only the princes and princesses, but also the children of powerful families and wealthy businessmen are out to play.

Emperor Zhao Heng was also in a refreshing mood and invited the important officials of the court to visit the garden together.

Behind him are Dou Wei on the left, Mi Yan on the right, and behind him are Xie Duan, Ma Yuan, Yang Feng, Han Zheng and others.

Stopping in front of a pavilion with the ministers, Zhao Heng looked at a peony in front of him in surprise, "This peony planted by the late emperor has not bloomed for more than ten years. I didn't expect it to bloom so beautifully this year."

Mi Yan smiled when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, this is an auspicious sign, indicating that Dasong will regain its glory and the royal family will prosper in the world."

"Yes, as the saying goes, if the vegetation is prosperous, the family and the country will be prosperous."

"What a good sign."

"..."

The ministers complimented Zhao Heng one by one.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Heng felt relieved after hearing this.

The more I look at the peony in front of me, the more I fall in love with it.

He couldn't be unhappy.

Since he ordered King Yan to lead the army into Jinzhou, the entire Jinling has been paying attention to the war in Jinzhou.

After nearly three months, King Yan did not disappoint him and gave him a victory that exceeded his expectations.

The Yuan family was pacified last time and Beidi was retreated. This time they defeated Xiliang.

But in this battle, no one can doubt the role of artillery in war.

Now, he couldn't wait to equip his imperial army with artillery.

"Well said." Zhao Heng suddenly stopped laughing and turned to Mi Yan, "But this time King Yan has made great achievements again. How do you think we should reward him?"

When he said this, he felt sour in his heart.

If Jinzhou was conquered by his own hands, how majestic he would be.

Although King Yan was his son, he always felt that there were some flaws in this royal glory.

The ministers were silent for a while.

King Yan made great contributions this time, although it was slightly inferior to pacifying the Yuan family and preventing Beidi from going south.

But such a contribution can still be regarded as a great achievement.

Dou Wei noticed that Zhao Heng's eyes were a little disappointed, and he immediately guessed the emperor's thoughts: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, King Yan has made such a great contribution, and a small reward cannot really recognize his merits. It is better to accept Jinzhou as the He sealed the land as a reward."

Zhao Heng frowned when he heard this. He gave King Yan four counties in Yanzhou in order to support King Yan.

If Jinzhou is given to the King of Yan, wouldn't it mean that the whole northern border has become the world of the King of Yan?

He absolutely cannot do this.

As the prime minister, Dou Wei naturally understood this truth.

When he said this, his purpose was very simple, just to flatter King Yan and kill him.

This time King Yan captured Jinzhou, and they had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, I am happy that artillery is indeed a trump card.

I will have the ability to fight Beidi in the future.

In this way, they can focus on the struggle for power within Dasong.

Unfortunately, their war horse deal with Beidi was disrupted by King Yan.

Therefore, he naturally could not satisfy King Yan.

Mi Yan looked at Dou Wei indifferently. The longer he fought with Dou Wei, the more he found that Dou Wei's smile became brighter and his heart became darker.

He naturally understood that Dou Wei wanted to arouse Zhao Heng and other ministers to be wary of King Yan.

Thinking of this, he said: "Your Majesty, I think that King Yan has both merit and guilt this time. The merits and demerits are balanced, so there is no need to reward him greatly."

"Oh?" Zhao Heng showed an interesting look, "Tell me about it."

"As far as I know, after King Yan occupied Jincheng, he killed the governor Cao Rui and others without asking the court for instructions, and even confiscated his family property and took it for himself. This is a crime, and his contribution goes without saying." Mi Yan said.

Ma Yuan said at this time: "His Royal Highness King Yan seems to be particularly greedy for money. He did not forget to loot during the attack on Jinzhou. He deserves to be punished."

Zhao Xu glanced at Mi Yan and Dou Wei and laughed softly.

Many ministers are confused now.

On weekdays, Dou Wei always criticizes King Yan, but today he actually advocated a large reward.

However, Mi Yan and others who tried their best to protect King Yan actually wanted to punish King Yan.

"Mi Aiqing, Ma Aiqing is right. This King of Yan is indeed too greedy for money. He is not satisfied after selling so many goods. In this war, he has not forgotten to pluck his feathers. He should be beaten." Zhao Heng looked serious, but in his heart D.

It is better for King Yan to be greedy for money than to be greedy for power.

Then he changed the topic and said, "But after all, he still deserves more credit. In this way, he will give his royal army an additional 30,000 troops and a reward of 10,000 taels of silver as a reward."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty," Mi Yan and other ministers said at the same time.

They understood the emperor's character, and it was for his own good that they suppressed King Yan.

Dou Wei had no objection.

For such a great achievement, there was no land reward, only 30,000 troops and 10,000 taels of silver. Basically, this reward was better than nothing.

Then, suddenly, he thought about artillery.

It is said that the Han family, Xie family, and Liang family have purchased King Yan's artillery.

This makes the Dou family's military strength obviously lag behind these families.

Especially now that King Yan once again proved the importance of artillery.

He couldn't bear this and decided to send someone to contact King Yan in the near future.

So he no longer objected to the troop quota.
