Chapter 148: Chapter 148(1/2)
Chapter 148 148, Marriage Grant
"Your Majesty, I just want to do my little bit to prevent the war from causing trouble to more innocent people. Therefore, I really don't dare to take credit. Your Highness is asking for credit for this little girl, and she is very frightened."
She is very self-effacing.
Mu Yunjiang knew that on the day she returned to Beijing, Xiao Qiyu broke camp and returned south, but was ordered to quell a mountain bandit on the way. Wherever he went, he immediately integrated the bandit. This
Only then fell behind them.
Unexpectedly, his memorial had already been sent to the palace first.
"I'm very curious about one thing, and that is who did you learn martial arts from, and you are actually able to defeat the four great masters of the Gutuo Kingdom?"
Emperor Liang was also a warrior.
He had heard that the four monks of the Gutuo Kingdom, all of whom were excellent in martial arts, would die at the hands of a little girl. This was really an incredible thing.
"Replying to the emperor, in fact, it was not the little girl who killed the four great monks, but the mechanism in the Jade Mansion.
"If Lord Jade City hadn't taught the little girl the secrets of the mechanism, how could the little girl win over them with her measly tricks?
"Therefore, the little girl's achievements are so great that I feel ashamed. Today I must tell the truth. The little girl does not dare to get a reward based on this coincidence..."
Emperor Liang felt that the young woman in front of him was very honest and open-minded. If it were anyone else, she would not be willing to say this. Naturally, she was taking the opportunity to seek a reward...
"If you didn't have the courage to put yourself in danger and imprison the four monks in a cage, they would not have been shot. This contribution cannot be ignored. And what I, Daliang, pay most attention to is clear rewards and punishments. Therefore,
Rewards must be given. Today, I will make you the head of Ningguo County... From now on, you can directly recommend talents to the court..."
Emperor Liang still rewarded him.
The title is still the title from the previous life.
Although many people have died in this life and many things have changed, some details still continue the trajectory of the previous life.
But as the fate of other people in this life has changed, this continuation will probably become less and less. And she will face a brand new and unknown future.
Little Shanzi hurriedly shouted: "Quickly thank the Emperor for his grace!"
Mu Yunjiang immediately saluted and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Emperor Liang smiled with satisfaction: "Get up! Waiting by the side, there is another happy event. I have to announce it in front of the civil and military officials of the court..."
happy event?
These two words made her eyelids jump a few times.
When she stood up, she was about to ask what the happy event was.
At this moment, someone outside the palace shouted: "His Royal Highness Xiao Qiyu has returned triumphantly and asks to see you in front of the palace!"
"Xuan." Emperor Liang raised his dragon sleeves and said one word, but a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Mu Yunjiang quietly took a look: Emperor Liang seemed to be planning something - he felt that Xiao Qiyu might be in trouble.
"His Royal Highness Xuan San, Xiao Qi, has an audience."
A chamberlain summoned him, and his high-pitched voice was drawn out.
All the ministers looked towards the palace gate.
The next moment, His Royal Highness Xiao Qiyu, who was dressed in silver armor, walked in with steady steps. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a petite girl standing in the center of the hall.
With just a glance from his back, he discovered that it was Mu Yunjiang who was summoned to the Jinluan Palace. At this moment, he was not sure what his father's intention was.
He came to Mu Yunjiang's side, knelt down respectfully, presented the military talisman he had been awarded when he went on the expedition, and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, Xiao Qiyu has fulfilled his mission. The chaos in Yucheng has been put down, and the bandits in Fengshan have been collected. Today, I will return the military talisman to the Emperor. I hope there will be no more wars in Great Liang from now on..."
Emperor Liang leaned there, waved his sleeves, and motioned to General Manager Gao Huan to accept the military talisman. With a look of satisfaction on his face, he said loudly: "This time to pacify Jade City, you and County Master Mu cooperated tacitly to pacify Jade City without any damage."
There are too many soldiers and generals. This is the blessing of the people. I think that the third prince has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and must be rewarded today... Xiao Qiyu listened to the title..."
Xiao Qiyu was startled. After so many years, this was the first time that the emperor commended himself in the court.
He immediately kowtowed: "I am here."
"The third prince is admired by the world for his civil and military skills. He has suppressed chaos in the border areas and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. He is now specially named the King of Jingbei and is allowed to enter the court to discuss politics. I admire this..."
Gao Huan took out an imperial decree that he had prepared a long time ago and read it out in front of all the civil and military officials.
Xiao Qiyu was shocked. Mu Yunjiang was really right. He became the first prince in Great Liang to be crowned king - such a change was something he had never expected.
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. From now on, I will serve the country and the people, dedicate myself to my best, and die."
He kowtowed again and respectfully took the piece of imperial edict with both hands, feeling inexplicably agitated in his heart.
"Get up!"
Emperor Liang raised his hand.
Xiao Qiyu couldn't stand up, but said loudly: "Your Majesty, the credit for putting down the chaos in Jade City does not belong to me alone..."
"I know that I will reward everyone in the army separately."
Emperor Liang would never treat the leaders who guard the land badly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Qiyu stood up, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Mu Yunjiang beside him. Looking at her outfit, it was obvious that she had been granted the title of County Lord. He took a deep breath and was about to say something.
Emperor Liang suddenly spoke: "Mu Yunjiang, I heard that you have been appointed as the deputy city lord by the Lord of Jade City? And the new Khan of the Terun Department has also appointed you as the envoy of God..."
Mu Yunjiang hurriedly said: "The Lord Jade's kindness is hard for me to refuse, so I can only give it a try. As for the praise of the Khan of Trenbu, it is really high for me..."
Emperor Liang said again: "Since you have these two titles, and now I have made you the head of the county, I think you should stay in Jade City..."
Uh, does this mean to drive her to Yucheng?
Mu Yunjiang's eyes flashed, he raised his head and said: "Back to Your Highness, the little girl has been traveling in the world for many years, and now she has returned to the capital for less than a month. The little girl wants to stay in the capital for a while and fulfill her filial duty as a child...
…”
Right now, she doesn't want to leave.
The case of inferior weapons has not yet been investigated.
If this matter is not clear, the world will be in chaos sooner or later.
Once this happened, she wanted to travel around the world in person.
"Well, this is what we should do. In our Great Liang, filial piety comes first."
Emperor Liang also approved of her behavior. He smoothed his short beard and said with a hidden smile:
"However, since we must practice filial piety, we should marry a son-in-law who rides a dragon to comfort our parents.
"Xunyang asked me for a decree before, saying that he wanted to marry you. He also said that you and he have known each other in the world, and have experienced hardships, life and death together. This kind of friendship should be hard to find in this world.
"In this case, today, I will give you a marriage and promise you to Luo Xunyang. You will get married in one year. This year, you will fulfill your filial piety in Beijing. One year later, you and Xunyang will guard Jade City..."
Mu Yunjiang never imagined that this was the happy event the emperor was talking about?
He actually came to the palace and granted the marriage without any warning.
Originally, she thought Xiao Qiyu was going to be in trouble, but in the end, it was herself...
Xiao Qiyu's complexion suddenly turned pale, and he suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty...this marriage..."
Mu Yunjiang's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the newly crowned King of Jingbei might do something to anger the Holy Will, so he immediately got in front of him and shouted:
"I thank the Emperor for the marriage, and I thank you for your kindness. I am very satisfied with this marriage..."
Emperor Liang burst out laughing:
"Excellent, excellent, excellent. The marriage is settled like this. Gao Huan, please immediately issue an order to ask the Marquis of Jinyang to propose marriage immediately. Not long ago, the Marquis was injured again while trying to save me. Today I have facilitated such a good match.
, it also fulfills his love for his son...
"Oh, this is really a great happy event. My dear friends, do you think so or not?"
Naturally, the ministers echoed: "Your Majesty is wise."
Gao Huan smiled and responded: "Ningguo County Master, congratulations on your wonderful son-in-law..."
Mu Yunjiang forced out a smile and blessed Fu, "Same joy."
Xiao Qiyu felt as if something was stuck in his throat.
He looked at the little girl in front of him with a complicated expression. She had become someone else's bride, and he could no longer ask for grace.
This was her personal consent. Under such circumstances, if he opposed the marriage, it would be a brother stealing his brother's wife, and the emperor would be furious.
So, he just lost her before his eyes.
At this moment, he was so unwilling, yet so helpless.

After leaving the court.
Mu Yunjiang left the palace, got on the royal carriage, and was accompanied by Su Yue back to the Mu family courtyard.
On the way, she told Su Yue about this.
