Sometimes, once the seeds of doubt arise, it is difficult to get rid of them.
"Damn it, I have to find a way to find someone of my own! Otherwise these guys will be jealous of me and I won't be able to do anything to cause harm behind my back!"
Chu Ze started to make calculations.
But the problem is that he has no money. In the Duke's Mansion, Chen Jinsong treated him quite well and gave him two hundred taels of silver a month.
He had been in the government for nearly two months and had received about 400 taels of silver. However, the 400 taels of silver were basically used by his predecessor to buy elixirs.
He now only has a dozen taels of silver left in total. It is a fool's errand to think of buying someone else.
In the palace, Chen Guogong stood in front of the Emperor of Daxia.
"Come on, show me your seat quickly!"
Emperor Xia is not young anymore, similar to Chen Jinsong, with white beard and hair, but his mental state is still very good.
Looking at Chen Guogong in front of him, Emperor Xia secretly sighed in his heart.
The white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift, and he was still the only one of flesh and blood, so he could understand the pain involved.
An old eunuch came forward, brought a round stool, and placed it in front of Chen Jinsong.
Chen Jinsong first saluted Emperor Xia and thanked him, and then sat on the round stool, but his movements were very careful.
He only sat on half his buttocks.
Emperor Xia looked sad and said: "I am also very sorry about Xirui. I watched that girl grow up. When she insisted on joining the army, I was unwilling to do so. I just couldn't stand the girl's plea. Now I see
Come on, I was wrong."
Chen Jinsong said quickly: "Your Majesty, what did you say? It is his honor for that girl to serve the country. Generations of generals in my Chen family have died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country. This is our duty, and we have no complaints."
Speaking of this, Chen Jinsong shed tears again: "What Wei Chen didn't expect was that Xirui didn't even have a whole body, Chen. Chen."
Speaking of this, Chen Jinsong seemed unable to hide his sadness.
Weeping bitterly, bursting into tears!
Even Emperor Xia didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "My dear, I would like to express my condolences. Xirui has passed away. I want to posthumously make her a first-class brave warrior, reward her with tens of thousands of gold, and bury her with royal rites. What do you think, my dear?"
Obviously, this is a pension.
Let’s talk about Wanjin first. This is very affordable, just give money.
A royal funeral is for honor.
And the brave lieutenant, normally speaking, is actually the one with the heaviest reward among them.
Because heirs can also inherit.
If Chen Jinsong now has two grandsons, he can choose one to inherit the position of Chen Guogong, and the other to inherit the title of Yonglie Marquis.
However, this first-class bravery candidate is not hereditary.
In other words, when the next generation takes over, they will be downgraded.
After becoming a second-class person a few times, you will become a count, and then you will be lowered step by step.
Hereditary and non-replaceable titles are very rare in Daxia.
Even the title of Duke Chen Guogong is not hereditary.
Their family was originally a first-class duke, but by Chen Jinsong's generation, he had become a fourth-class duke. If Chen Jinsong had not been in the military for many years and made many military exploits, and promoted his title back to the second-class duke, the next generation would have become a marquis.
Already.
Upon hearing these rewards, Chen Jinsong quickly stood up and saluted!
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"
"My dear, please don't be too sad. You should take care of yourself." Emperor Xia continued to comfort him: "Don't blame Wan Li either. Battle formations are ever-changing. No one can imagine that the enemy will trigger the thunder in that position.
Array."
Chen Jinsong has been in charge of the army for many years and has a high prestige in the army.
Although Xiao Wanli said he was going to bear a bush to plead guilty, and the people of Daxia spoke highly of him, there were not a few people in the army who were dissatisfied with him.
Emperor Xia was afraid that Chen Jinsong would use other methods secretly.
Chen Jinsong shook his head and said: "I won't blame him. Since Xirui has gone to the battlefield, she must be prepared to die in battle. I just have something to do, so please show mercy to me!"
"What's the matter? My dear, you can speak frankly!"
Chen Jinsong said in a deep voice: "My Chen family has been loyal to Daxia for generations, but I didn't expect that today, my generation, Chen Jinsong, will be cut off from the bloodline. I feel deeply ashamed. For this plan, the bloodline inheritance has been cut off. Only the surname can be passed on."
, I would like to allow Xirui’s husband-in-law to take a concubine and have a son to carry on the family lineage of my Chen family. I would like your Majesty’s permission.”
Chen Jinsong wants to adopt a child, but he can't do it just by slapping his forehead.
This involves the succession of titles, and the emperor's approval is required!
Emperor Xia was stunned. In fact, he had also considered Chen Jinsong's adoption of the child.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Jinsong wanted Chu Ze to take a concubine and give birth to a child.
In this case, wouldn't all the children born be counted in Chen Xirui's name?
In this way, the brave warrior who was just canonized can also inherit!
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Xia smiled and said, "I thought it was something, that's right!"
The title of the Xia Kingdom does not have a fiefdom.
More often than not, giving money directly is a symbol of identity and status.
It is relatively easy for people with noble titles to become officials in the court.
For the emperor of a country, giving such a title to calm people's hearts is nothing.
When Chen Jinsong returned to the Duke's Mansion with a large cart of gold, Chu Ze was stunned.
He had never seen so much gold in his life or his previous lives.
"These are rewards given to Xirui by His Majesty. Just put them in your account. A grown man must have some money in his hands!" Chen Jinsong patted Chu Ze on the shoulder and said casually.
For him, there is no shortage of money!
No amount of money can buy back dead relatives.
Originally, Chu Ze was just a son-in-law, so naturally he wouldn't give him much money.
But now that Chen Xirui is dead, Chu Ze's status is different from before, and he can be regarded as half the master of the family. Chen Jinsong naturally treats him better.
Chu Ze looked shy: "Why is this so embarrassing?"
Just a pair of eyes, looking at the gold, seemed unable to move away.
Seeing him refusing to welcome you, Chen Jinsong couldn't help but smile.
He told the housekeeper Chen Wu: "Leave three thousand taels of gold in my uncle's account for emergencies. The rest of the gold should be converted into 70,000 taels of silver notes and sent back to Chu Ze's room!"
The gold and silver exchange ratio in Daxia is about 1:10, one tael of gold is exchanged for ten taels of silver.
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, you have gained Chen Wu's jealousy and gained a red eye value of 90."
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, you have gained the jealousy of Chuntao and obtained the red eye value of 99."
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, you have gained the envy of Jiao Dahai and obtained the red eye value of 78."
The continuous beeps made Chu Ze feel good!
It’s so cool to get the red-eye value this time!
There is no way, so much gold was given to Chu Ze at once, no one will be jealous of him.
Especially these servants, who had just been played by Chu Ze in the morning, and now seeing him getting so much money, they are even more envious and jealous.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for reaching 2,000 red-eye points. The task is completed. The host has received a Dragon Yuan Marrow Cleansing Pill! It has been distributed to the system space. Please check it carefully."
"Ding dong, the root bone task is released. Within a month, the host needs to obtain two thousand red eye points. Once the task is completed, the host will be rewarded with a bottle of Yijin Forging Bone Pill!"
"Yi Jin Tuo Gu Pills are made from a variety of precious medicinal materials and can change the quality of bones. Note: Limit one pill per day."
The continuous beeps put Chu Ze in a good mood!
Of course, what made him feel best was that he finally had money.
I was still worried about the buyer before, but I don’t have to worry about it this time.
When he was happy, Chen Jinsong looked at him and whispered: "Come in with me!"
