Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo sent Qin Hanzhu back to Xifu, and then went to see Qin Ping, Cai Shengnan, and his two brothers Ding Ge'er and Zhuang Ge'er before returning to the other courtyard.

Although he didn't do much, after wandering around for a long time, Qin Han really felt that he was quite tired. After changing into homely clothes, he simply asked someone to carry a bench to the window sill, lay down on it, and stretched his waist.

go.

Zhao Mo changed his clothes, brought a pot of tea and two cups personally, and sat next to her. The young couple drank by themselves, and it was leisurely. Qin Hanzhen asked about Zhao Mo: "I am entering the palace today.

, Your Majesty and Your Majesty have learned about the death of your great-aunt, do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Mo shook his head: "What can they say? As usual, it's enough to send a decent eunuch to the house to express condolences. Marquis Cheng'en is not a holy family, and the reputation of Marquis Cheng'en's wife is hard to describe. I guess she won't even be honored after death.

There will be. If the palace can send people to express condolences, it has already given the Chengenhou Mansion a lot of face. Your second uncle also knows this, so he won't have any complaints."

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "Second uncle originally did a good job as an official. It has been less than two years since he was promoted, right? This is neither long nor short. After the filial piety period is over, I don't know if he will be able to return to his original rank.

Let's go one step further. He is really not young. There is also the eldest cousin. The new Jinshi has not joined the job and has not passed the Shujishi test. After a year, he became a filial piety and then sought an official position. In everything, he was better than his classmates in the same year.

It's a pity to be one step behind. We had discussed so vigorously where he should go to become a county magistrate."

Zhao Mo paused for a moment: "Speaking of the matter of Gaoyang County Magistrate, now that Brother Jian can no longer seek this position, there is no need for me to delay some things. When I entered the palace to see the emperor today, I heard him repeat

When I mentioned this matter, I just accepted it."

What he said was a bit confusing. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but asked confusedly: "What are you talking about?"

"I also made contributions in the Liaodong War." Zhao Mo smiled at Qin Hanzhen, "Although I did not hold a military position, I am not boasting. Without my contribution, I am afraid that the Liaodong War would not be so easy to win.

, and it will not end so quickly, without causing too much damage to the country and the people. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are both wise kings. They will not treat my merits lightly after rewarding the military generals.

It's invisible. I mentioned to you before that the reward for me has actually been given for a long time, but it has not been made public for the time being."

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "You mean...are the rewards going to come out now? What is it? What is it?!" She suddenly became energetic and sat up from the bench.

Zhao Mo smiled: "What do you think?"

Qin Hanzhen slapped him on the chest: "You guy! You've been acting like this since you were a child. Now that I'm married to you, you're still acting like this. It really pisses me off!"

Zhao Mo laughed loudly and held her beautiful hands with his left hand, preventing her from hitting him. He stretched out his right arm, took his wife into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "The reward for me."

, even if Gaoyang County is also assigned to me as a fiefdom. From now on, I will be the Prince of Suyang County, not the Prince of Suning County."

Qin Hanzhen looked at him in surprise, not even bothering to fight back or break away: "What did you say? Gaoyang? Now Gaoyang has also been designated as a fief for you?! Isn't Gaoyang closer to the capital? I remember it was in Baoding

It’s under the jurisdiction of the government, right?”

Zhao Mo nodded: "Yes, Gaoyang County is only a little smaller than Suning County. The two sides are close to each other and both belong to my name. From now on, our family's fiefdom will be closer to the capital, almost... three hundred

Come to Lidi. I can ride a horse to get there in one day, which is more convenient. But I built the palace a few years ago and have no plans to move for the time being. At most, I will build a separate palace in Gaoyang County. When will we get it?

If you have free time, just move here and stay for a few days."

This was so surprising to Qin Hanzhen. She had thought that if the royal family wanted to reward Zhao Mo for his merits, they would usually reward him with some gold and silver, or manor real estate, or let him

He held a more important position and held greater authority. Even if he was directly promoted to prince, it was not impossible. Unexpectedly, in the end, the emperor actually gave him a fief to expand his territory.

Nearly twice as much!

Even if the two counties of Suning and Gaoyang are combined, the local area is still relatively small, and it cannot even compare with the fiefdom of Zhao Mo's grandfather, Prince Yiyang. However, Yiyang is far away in central Hunan, but Zhao Mo's fiefdom is in Zhili.

! Zhili, that is, under the nose of the emperor, could actually allocate such a large area to Zhao Mo, and even not prohibit him from establishing a large number of royal guards. It really showed his favor.

Qin Hanzhen was filled with emotion and solemnly said to Zhao Mo: "The emperor is really not kind to us. In the future, you should be more attentive when doing things for him."

Zhao Mo hugged Qin Hanzhen and said: "Of course. He treats me much better than my biological father. Although I can't recognize him as my father, in my heart, he deserves my respect more than my father. If he needs to use

Me, I will do my best to do things for him. When he doesn't need me, I will go back to the fief and live a peaceful life. No matter how favored the emperor is to me, I will not have any dissatisfaction. Back then

With just one word, I could adopt you into the East Palace, but I couldn't agree to it. Now that I have become successful and famous, I have married you, and I have no regrets in my life. How could I be so distracted at this time that I rush to seek death? I know what I should do.

How to do it."

Qin Hanzhen nestled in his arms and sighed: "Perhaps it is because you rejected the position of grandson who is only one step away that the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor think highly of you. In the past ten years, they have not done anything.

Don't suffer the consequences of the ambitious clan members. With your temperament that is not fooled by power, you will naturally be a breath of fresh air among the clan members."

Zhao Mo smiled slightly and said nothing. How can he not be confused by power? He will still pursue what he should pursue. It just depends on whether he is willing to accept the price he needs to pay after gaining power. If he doesn't want to pay the price

Pay, that's not what he wants to pursue, so what does it matter if he refuses? Besides, he doesn't think that he will live a bad life now. If he had really succeeded to the East Palace and recognized the then crown prince and crown prince

Having a concubine as his mother may not necessarily lead to the life he wants. The most important point is that he may not be able to marry Qin Hanzhen as he wishes, and he has to follow the wishes of Crown Princess Tang to arrange the marriage. Even so.

What's the point of him ascending to the supreme position in the future, with all the power in the world? If he marries another person, Qin Hanzhen will never succumb to others, and will naturally marry someone else. Now that he has reached such a position, he

If you still can't get the person you want, you might as well be like now, a wise king of the clan, a loving husband and wife, a smooth life, and a peaceful and happy life.

Zhao Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said to Qin Hanzhen in a good mood: "In April and May this year, a group of clan members will be granted titles. This is the first time that the clan will be granted titles since the new king ascended the throne. It should be lively in the capital.

Ichiban. My reward should follow this batch of knighthoods.

They came down together. Although the main battlefield of the Northern Rong invasion was in Liaodong, several battles were also fought in Qin. Several cousins ​​in the Qin Palace will definitely also receive rewards. At that time, there will be other princes and

I share the limelight and don’t worry about what others say.”

Qin Hanzhen asked with a smile: "You are using this as a reason to delay the decree until now? Speaking of which, yesterday you told your cousin that you asked him to fight for the post of Gaoyang County Magistrate as soon as possible, just to avoid the time difference.

Right? If he could have planned this before the reward decree came down,

position, even if you become an official in your fiefdom, you will support me in everything, and you will not worry about being made difficult by the locals or government officials. And you have an uncle who is the county magistrate in your new fiefdom.

Order will naturally be more conducive to your control of the new territory. This can be said to be the best of both worlds."

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "Brother Jian is going out to be an official for the first time. It's really uneasy to put him somewhere else. Since I know that Gaoyang County will be in my hands sooner or later, ask him to keep an eye on it for me and treat me

It's good for him, so why not? Now things are not

It's done, there's no point in delaying it any longer. I'd better settle the matter earlier to avoid having any ignorant people come to my fiefdom to cause trouble. Besides, Minshun will be given a marriage after he becomes a filial piety, and when the time comes

It is necessary to arrange a fiefdom or a fiefdom for her. She is

I have been acting coquettishly for a while, saying that I want to be closer to me. Tang Lao Shangshu has taken a fancy to several places, including Gaoyang County. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor will not reject Tang Lao Shangshu's request without a reason, but I don't want to go back.

With a fiefdom, you still have to worry about other people’s housework.

Minshun has been petite since she was a child, so she may not live in a feudal city for a long time. She will probably ask me to help her keep an eye on it. But why should I worry about it? Doesn’t the emperor send reliable stewards to take care of her property? It’s laborious.

If you don’t want to please me, it’s better to politely refuse from the beginning.”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized that he felt the same way in his heart. Although Princess Minshun's temperament was quite likable, no matter where her status was, no matter how good her relationship was, it would be impossible for her to talk and meet without scruples. When she returned to the fiefdom, she and Zhao

Mo can now live his own life freely. Wouldn't it be troublesome to worry about Princess Minshun carefully?

She smiled and said: "Gaoyang County is not a good choice for a princess to be granted a title. If it were granted there, wouldn't Princess Minshun have to be called Princess Gaoyang? This title is too inappropriate.

Is it auspicious?"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "If Gaoyang County is really to be sealed, the emperor's eldest daughter will not be wronged to have such a small fiefdom. It is estimated that Anxin County or other nearby counties will also be included.

, when the time comes, whether she is called Princess Gaoan or Princess Xinyang, why should she be sealed or not? Even if she continues to be called Princess Minshun, no one will pick her fault."

Qin Han really thought about it and laughed it off.

Zhao Mo said: "Mr. Tang should be about to retire. When Minshun pays filial piety and gets married, he can retire with peace of mind. In his life, although he has a daughter, he will not worry about it, but he has been an official for decades.

, there seems to be nothing to regret about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. His eldest son will be promoted to the Minister of Rites, which can be regarded as taking over from him, and the other nephews will serve as ministers in the capital.

Those who are in official positions will also stay, and those who are serving outside will continue to stay in the local area, but the rest will follow Mr. Tang back to his hometown. He has lived a sensible life and acted upright. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are very good friends.

Respecting him will give him dignity. When it comes to Minshun's affairs, you will also respect his wishes. Even Minshun's marriage is actually decided by him."

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but wonder: "Has the candidate been decided? Which family is he from?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Yu Jingming, the prince of Shoushan."

"Eh?!" Qin Han was really shocked, "How could it be him?!" There was no news about this!

Zhao Mo smiled meaningfully: "Old Minister Tang has thought carefully, and he is worried about his granddaughter Minshun. However, both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor will agree to him. In this way, after the decree of the new queen's canonization is issued, Tang

The old minister will also reciprocate the favor. In this way, both the government and the harem will be stable."
