Mortal Immortal Gourd

The Holy Emperor Longxing looked at several ministers in the court who were suggesting that they should be rewarded. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

"I think that the medicine materials that Xia Mingyuan asked the court to allocate before can now be used as rewards."

"I think these materials are not enough as rewards. After all, this time we have recovered the lost land and made great contributions to the court."

"I think that only a heavy reward can inspire people!"

"Approved!"

This time, facing the request of the ministers, the Holy Emperor Longxing agreed very readily.

"Draft an edict to reward the governor of Sanyang County, the loyal and brave Zhang Ergou, with five golden pills and 500 foundation-building pills..."

The ministers in the court who were on good terms with Xia Mingyuan felt more and more that something was wrong. Why was Zhang Ergou rewarded?

"Your Majesty, wasn't it Xia Mingyuan who recovered the lost land of the two counties?"

A minister asked in surprise.

"Of course it's not Xia Mingyuan. Xia Mingyuan has been defeated repeatedly by the monster's army and has not recovered from the failure. He will not be able to fight in a short time."

The Holy Emperor Longxing shook his head, almost saying that Xia Mingyuan was a waste.

"The one who recovered the lost land was the governor of Sanyang County, the loyal and brave Zhang Ergou. This man is loyal and brave for the country and is a pillar of the country."

"This time, the loyal and brave Zhang Ergou risked his life and fought bloody battles with the monster for more than ten days and nights. He was wounded 58 times and still fought to the death. He vowed to recover the lost land and enhance the prestige of our Great Zhou!"

When the Holy Emperor Longxing said this, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

These contents are the original text written in Zhang Ergou's memorial. I didn't expect that Zhang Ergou, such a loyal and honest person, also learned bad things in the officialdom.

According to the information sent back by Ji Song, the army of Sanyang County took the lost land of two counties in just two days and two nights.

The whole battle process was very easy, but Zhang Ergou exaggerated and watered it, making the battle ten times more difficult.

However, the young man likes fame and is a little boastful. At least he is doing something, which is better than the old fox who does nothing and asks him for benefits.

In this comparison, Xia Mingyuan seems to be even more useless.

The ministers who had just proposed a heavy reward in the court seemed to have been stabbed from the back and lost all their strength.

This time, no one objected to the reward for Zhang Ergou, and it was passed smoothly.

"This time, the reward for the loyal and brave earl should be circulated throughout the country, so that all the soldiers at the border can take the loyal and brave earl as a model.

Anyone who has made military achievements for the Great Zhou will be rewarded!"

The Longxing Holy Emperor ordered that the imperial edict for the reward for Ergouzi be copied countless times and circulated throughout the country, so that those generals who were in office but doing nothing could learn from it.

In order to prevent someone from embezzling from the reward for Zhang Ergou, the Longxing Holy Emperor personally supervised it.

And sent Chen Hongye to deliver the imperial edict and the prize to Sanyang County.

After sending Chen Hongye, the Longxing Holy Emperor summoned his youngest son into the palace.

"Your son kowtows to your father!"

Although the Prince of Qi is the youngest son that the Longxing Emperor loves the most, in fact, the two of them rarely have the opportunity to meet and talk.

When they meet and communicate less in daily life, they naturally seem unfamiliar. When they meet, they are like monarchs and ministers. They first complete a set of etiquette before they speak formally.

The Longxing Emperor looked at the Prince of Qi sitting in front of him, and his eyebrows and eyes were quite charming when he was young.

"Cang'er, your father has been busy with state affairs for many years and has neglected to take care of you."

"Your son is unfilial and has not been able to share your worries and work."

Ji Cang bowed his hands and replied respectfully.

"You went out last time and found two suitable talents for me."

The Longxing Emperor was in a better mood today and spoke more casually with his son. The father and son did not communicate normally, so he still wanted to get closer to each other.

"Is your father talking about the Loyal and Brave Earl?"

He had heard that Er Gouzi led his troops to recover the lost land and was rewarded by the emperor. Now he immediately guessed this guy.

Thinking of Er Gouzi, he couldn't help but think of the debt he still owed Er Gouzi.

Except for the previous foundation-building pill, the two of them tacitly did not mention the pile of IOUs.

For Ji Cang, what he owed was not only the pills and money, but also favors and the grace of saving his life.

"Besides him, I think Sima Yi is also very good."

The Holy Emperor Longxing has naturally seen Sima Yi's ups and downs over the years, and found that this person is loyal, upright and righteous, and is also a useful talent.

"But Sima Yi, although he has a kind heart and is very upright, he is a bit womanly and is not good at herding people."

When an emperor is young, he must learn the art of emperorship and know how to appoint people.

The Holy Emperor Longxing also observed Sima Yi for a long time.

The reason why he concluded that Sima Yi was not good at herding people was that he had put Sima Yi in local positions several times.

In the end, Sima Yi ended up in disgrace and was reported or expelled by local gentry and people.

In terms of herding people, he was far inferior to the Loyal and Brave Earl.

The Loyal and Brave Earl was a well-known and well-known person.

For example, recently, Sima Yi was sent to serve as the governor of a county. Sima Yi offended all the local noble families and gentry.

In the end, these gentry instigated and instigated the local people to jointly accuse Sima Yi of corruption.

If he said that other officials were greedy for money, he would believe it, but the Emperor Longxing Sheng knew Sima Yi a little bit. He really didn't love money.

As a local official, you must understand the art of herding people. Simply practicing benevolent governance is just nonsense from the books of sages.

The sages said that the people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it.

The so-called herdsman focuses on the word "herd", just like herding cattle and sheep, you can't just follow the cattle and sheep blindly.

If the cattle and sheep go astray, they should be whipped or killed and stewed.

"Sima Yi is a good person, but he is not good at herding, so he is not suitable for a local official position like the Loyal and Brave Earl."

"I am planning to let him serve as a supervisory censor to try, maybe he can really make a name for himself."

The Longxing Holy Emperor still thinks highly of Sima Yi's character.

It just so happens that all his ministers say that they are honest officials, and their families are poor and can't afford food and spiritual stones.

He plans to let Sima Yi take this position to supervise all officials for him.

"Father, do you really want Sima Yi to be a supervisory censor?"

Ji Cang was not happy for Sima Yi, but a little worried.

This kind of position is dedicated to offending people.

It's better for a powerful cultivator to take this position. If the strength is not enough, offending people everywhere is no different from seeking death.

Sima Yi is only at the foundation building stage, and with that little strength, he can't protect himself anywhere.

Maybe one day when he is walking, he will fall on the ground and die.

"Don't worry, since I let him take this position, I can naturally keep him safe."

The Longxing Saint Emperor said, taking out a treasured armor.

"This is a magic weapon-level treasured armor. As long as you wear it, even if you are hit by a Jindan cultivator, you will be fine."

"Take this treasured armor back and give it to Sima Yi, let him do it boldly, and kill a few typical ones to establish his authority."

"Don't be afraid of their high positions. If you meet anyone who breaks the law, you can kill them first and report later."

Ji Cang took the treasured armor from the Longxing Saint Emperor.

He felt vaguely that his father was different today, with a spirit and a sharp spirit.

"Also, please help me pass on a message to the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery. As long as he makes contributions, I will reward him.

I will reward him with as much territory as he can recover from the lost states."

"Let him work hard, and I will entrust him with important tasks in the future!"
