Chapter 41 Wentai invited Zhao Cheng for a reward, and the officials were shocked!
Tianze Hall.
All civil and military officials stood at attention.
Emperor Yuan Xiu had not been sitting on the dragon chair for a moment when he stood up with one hand on the back of the dragon chair. After listening to the reports from the courtiers and settling a few matters, he walked down the steps.
"Have you finished talking about everything? Have you finished talking?"
After no one responded, Yuan Xiu said again: "You guys are all right. I'll just tell you two things."
"Right Prime Minister!"
"I'm here." Zhao Huan responded, holding his waist and walking out slowly, as slowly as if he were walking on a frozen river.
"The Right Prime Minister worked tirelessly and was not afraid of dangers to guard the north, keep the Yedan people away from the country's borders, and kill fifty thousand enemy troops under the city!"
"Such loyalty and bravery deserves a reward!"
"Such achievements should be rewarded!"
Yuan Xiu spread his arms and said loudly: "Right Prime Minister, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold as payment, and let you go home and beat your son happily."
Hearing this, Zhao Huan looked flattered and saluted: "Very good, very good!"
As he spoke, he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"You don't have to be like this, Prime Minister." Yuan Xiu quickly supported Zhao Huan, patted the back of his hand gently, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, just enjoy the happiness of your family in Yanchuan! And... with that son of yours
Tell me, get married and have children as soon as possible, so that he can cause less harm to others, and you can have grandchildren sooner, right?"
"Your Majesty even thought of this. It's really... it's really embarrassing for me!" Zhao Huan raised his sleeves and wiped away the non-existent tears.
Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials couldn't help but started talking quietly, simply because they were surprised by the emperor's behavior.
Let Zhao Huan go home to show that he no longer doubts him.
You can be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold...
This kind of contribution to defending the country and killing 50,000 enemies is not an exaggeration even if he is granted a title. The reward of a thousand taels of gold is not too little, it is simply insulting!
If Zhao Chengruo were here, he would be thinking...it's not enough for me to do a good job!
But Zhao Huan was not annoyed, and the emperor acted as if he should take it for granted. The officials really couldn't understand this pair of monarchs and ministers.
"The second thing, Wang Ren!"
"I'm here!" Wang Ren, who was standing behind Wen Tai, quickly got out of the queue and knelt down.
"I will ask you to come up with a plan for the Northern Expedition within three days. Once it is feasible, you will take over from the Right Prime Minister to lead the expedition!"
"Yes!!" Wang Ren responded excitedly, but his eyes were staring with dark circles and his voice was trembling a little.
Yuan Xiu walked closer to him and asked, "Didn't General Wang sleep well?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have been recently..."
"I remembered it!" Yuan Xiu slapped his head and sighed: "General Wang, please don't be too sad. Your body is related to the future of the country, and you have a heavy responsibility!"
Hearing this, Wang Ren was even more excited, clasping his fists and saying: "I will dedicate myself to the end of my life and die!!"
The cultural guard at the side turned his face and dug his cheek with his hand.
What’s too sad is probably too much indulgence!
It seems that the ten beauties I sent are all working normally.
Yuan Xiu looked at Zhao Huan again and asked: "Right Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Zhao Huan said: "Your Majesty's decision is naturally appropriate."
"The Right Chancellor is an expert in marching and fighting. If you are not sure, I am not sure!"
How could Zhao Huan not understand what Yuan Xiu meant? He slowly turned sideways and faced the generals, saying: "I am old and can't go as far as Yedan. If I insist on dragging you there, I am dragging you down."
leg."
"This General Wang Ren..." Zhao Huan squinted his eyes, always looking like he was awake. He glanced at Wang Ren without moving his head and eyes, and said: "In the battle of Fuerzhuang, I led 700 light cavalry to attack
He retreated three thousand enemy troops. In the battle of Changdan, he used cunning tactics to defeat the enemy and turn defeat into victory."
"The imperial court needs handsome men like General Wang. You should learn from General Wang and destroy Ye Dan in one go, and achieve great achievements for all generations!"
"Yes!!" Most of the generals responded. Some of them subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but when they saw Zhao Huan's eyes staring at them, they resisted the urge.
Seeing this, Yuan Xiu was both satisfied and dissatisfied, with mixed feelings.
But Zhao Huan knew that this was what Yuan Xiu wanted.
As long as Zhao Huan said this, Wang Ren could take over the military power.
"Okay, my dear friends, is there anything else? If nothing happens, just retreat from the court!"
Yuan Xiu waved his hand, turned around and walked up the steps.
At this time Wen Tai came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Yuan Xiu just stepped onto the first step. He paused for a moment, adjusted his smile, turned around, and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, what's the matter?"
Wen Taidao: "Zhao Cheng, the eldest son of the right prime minister, was witty and courageous, loyal, brave and benevolent. He was better than his master. He launched an attack on the secret espionage organization that was painstakingly run by the Southern Zhou Dynasty in Yanchuan and killed the number one spy Chen Yuxian and the number three spy Aqi.
, captured the second spy Hu Xiayong and almost killed them all!"
"Such achievements should be greatly rewarded!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Including Yuan Xiu.
What's going on?
Although Zhao Huan and Wen Tai were masters and apprentices, since the position of left prime minister appeared, the relationship between masters and apprentices has been broken. And it is common knowledge that Wen Tai targets Zhao Huan everywhere in the court. But now, Wen Tai
He was not angry because the emperor let Zhao Huan go back to Yanchuan, but instead asked for a reward for his son?
Is it possible that the master and apprentice have reconciled?
The officials began to discuss privately again. At this time, He Yin came out and said: "My father defeated the Yedan people at the border, my son eliminated the spies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in the country, and the father and son went into battle. This is a good story in our Jingguo. I agree with it."
Prime Minister Zuo’s proposal deserves a reward for Zhao Cheng!”
Xu Shouli also came out and said: "I second the proposal!"
Seeing this, several more ministers came out one after another.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
Yuan Xiu pushed the boat and kicked the ball back to Wen Tai: "Then what does the Left Minister think should be rewarded for Zhao Cheng?"
"Let Zhao Cheng be named General Zhaoyong!"
Hearing this, the hall was once again shocked into silence!
Everyone knows that General Zhaoyong was granted the title to Wang Ren's son Wang Yufeng not long ago. Now that Wang Yufeng has just died, the Prime Minister of the Left will transfer the title to Zhao Cheng?
What is this operation?
While everyone was surprised, Yuan Xiu smiled and continued walking up the steps.
After sitting down on the dragon chair, Yuan Xiucai said: "That's right!"
After the dynasty dispersed, the ministers left Tianze Hall one after another and walked down the white jade steps.
Zhao Huan moved slowly, holding his waist and walking slowly.
The military generals wanted to help Zhao Huan, but Zhao Huan forced him back with his eyes. Some civil servants also wanted to help Zhao Huan, but when they saw Wen Tai behind them, they stopped thinking.
But no one expected that Wen Tai would take the initiative to walk up to Zhao Huan, hold Zhao Huan's hand with one hand and hold Zhao Huan's shoulder with the other, and accompany him down the steps.
Seeing this pair of teachers and students walking hand in hand, all the civil and military officials were stunned.
What's going on?
What happened to Prime Minister Zuo today?
He was asking for rewards for Zhao Cheng, and he was caring for Zhao Huan...
Is the teacher and student really reconciled?
The officials were just guessing, and no one dared to talk nonsense on the steps.
Wen Tai had a smile on his face and said, "Teacher, you have raised a good son!"
