"Hahahaha." A burst of laughter came directly from the car. Yang Guang walked out of the car while laughing. He didn't even need Zhang Huaian's help. He stepped forward and helped Wan He. He stood up. Then he said with a smile: "Ai Qing, are you kidding me? With Ai Qing's great achievements, if I still want to be blamed, then the whole world will call me a fool."
When Yang Guang said this, the ministers behind Yang Guang lowered their heads one by one, and their cheeks twitched. The whole world scolded Yang Guang for being stupid. Isn't that enough? Of course, these words were only said in their hearts. That's all. No one dared to say it. Then looking at Wan He, after being helped up by Yang Guang, Wan He also took three steps back. He bowed and clasped his fists in front of Yang Guang and shouted: "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I'm ashamed of you." Don’t dare to take it seriously.”
"Deserve it. Deserve it." Yang Guang couldn't be more satisfied with this minister. He is loyal to himself, acts in a low-key manner, and is very handy in doing things. He is really an excellent helper given to him by God. Yang Guang immediately patted Wan He's shoulder, turned his head, and shouted to Zhang Huaian next to him: "Huaian, declare the decree."
Zhang Huaian on the side nodded. However, he did not take out the imperial edict and read it out as usual. This edict was given to Zhang Huaian by Yang Guang just after he came down from the city. No matter how fast Zhang Huaian moved, he could not do it in such a short time. Come up with an imperial edict. So Zhang Huaian had no choice but to read it directly with his mouth. Zhang Huaian stepped forward and shouted loudly to Wan He and the 30,000 imperial guards behind Wan He: "By God's destiny. The emperor's edict said .Marquis of Yangcheng, Minister of Rites Wan He. He had meritorious service in rescuing the driver. He should be rewarded based on his merits. He was specially promoted to the rank of Taiwei. He was also the Taifu of the East Palace. He was granted the title of Duke. He was given the title of Liang. He was also given a palace in the Duke's palace and gold. Ten thousand taels, three thousand bolts of silk."
After Zhang Huaian's imperial edict was read out, there was silence all of a sudden. Everyone focused their attention on Yang Guang and Wan He. They were promoted to Taiwei, served concurrently as Tutor of the East Palace, and were granted the title of Duke. Regardless of these three things, What is it? Those are all incredible rewards. Now it appears on Wan He alone. Has the emperor lost his mind?
Okay. Even if Wan He was successful in rescuing the enemy this time, the reward standard is too high. Let alone the title of the Duke. There are only six Dukes in this dynasty. Among them, the Duke of Qi Gao Xi was executed as emperor because of slandering the imperial court, and his title was revoked. Duke Yang Su of Yue State had his title revoked because his son Yang Xuangan rebelled. Although he died, his title was also revoked. As for Qiao Gong Feng Bao and Su Guo, Gongmai Iron Scepter is no longer alive. Therefore, there are only two Dukes of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu. One of them is a relative of the emperor and the other is a powerful official of the court. They are ten thousand years old. Qing Qing. And he was born into a merchant family. He was actually named the Duke of the country. This is too childish.
Not only the ministers were shocked, but even Wan He himself looked full of disbelief. Although he knew that he would definitely be promoted this time, he did not expect that he would be promoted to such a high level. Mommy, Liang Guogong. This is not what he meant. I hope that from now on I will be on an equal footing with these two old foxes, Yu Wenshu and Li Yuan.
Seeing the astonished expressions of Wan He and the ministers, Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, it was entirely up to him, the emperor, to decide what kind of rewards to give to his ministers. Therefore, he had the final say. He hates others judging him when he awards awards. Didn't he say that he was stingy in awarding awards before? Now let's see who dares to tell lies like this. Then Yang Guang patted Wan He's shoulder lightly. Hehehe smiled and said: " My dear, how is it? This reward from me is worthy of your contribution."
Wan He finally came to his senses after being slapped by Yang Guang. He immediately knelt down towards Yang Guang and worshiped: "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I am so frightened. From now on, I can only bow my head and die." Only in this way can we repay His Majesty's kindness." If Wan He refuses the imperial favor sent to him, he would be called a fool. He accepts the order to thank him. This official position and title truly belong to Wan He himself. As for the gold , Lingluo silk and satin. Wanhe will also need it. It happens that Changsun Heng'an is training soldiers and horses. This money can be invested in it. In addition to the 300,000 taels of gold that was knocked from Li Yuan earlier, I believe Changsun Heng'an is there. It's enough.
After Yang Guang helped Wan He up with a smile, he took another look at the imperial guards behind Wan He. He nodded with a smile and said: "You soldiers have worked hard to save you. Naturally, I will not treat you badly. Huai'an, pass on my will. All soldiers in today's battle, regardless of their rank, will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold."
"Thank you, my emperor. Long live my emperor. Long live. Long live." Yang Guang said the reward, but paused for a moment. The soldiers inside and outside the pass then knelt down and thanked Yang Guang. And the officials behind Yang Guang Among them, Xiao Yu, the Minister of Internal Affairs, heard Yang Guang's order. He immediately frowned and opened his mouth to say something. But before the words came out, Fan Zigai behind him reached out and pulled his sleeve. Xiao Yu looked back. Fan Zigai shook his head with a wry smile. Xiao Yu quickly understood what Fan Zigai meant. He sighed and could only give up.
At the beginning of the siege of Yanmen Pass, the emperor personally promised to increase the reward. But now that the siege of Yanmen Pass was solved, the emperor changed his mind. To be honest, this hundred taels of gold is indeed considered enough for ordinary soldiers. It's a very good reward. But the problem is that compared with the promises made by the emperor before, it is far different. As the emperor, how can he go back on his word? This breaks the promise of the world. How can the emperor convince the world in the future?
Xiao Yu originally wanted to persuade the emperor in this way. But Fan Zigai's reminder also made Xiao Yu react. Now is not the emergency moment when Yanmen Pass was just besieged. In such a critical moment, maybe the emperor will have to give in. But not now If Xiao Yu tries to contradict the emperor again, it will only remind the emperor of the things that forced him to submit. By then, Xiao Yu himself will have nothing to gain.
On the other side of the ministers, Yu Wenshu, who was the leader of the hundred officials, opened his old eyes slightly after listening to Zhang Huaian's words about the reward. A light flashed through his eyes, but he soon returned to normal. Behind Yuwenshu, the second son Yuwen Zhiji took half a step forward and quietly said to Yuwenshu: "Dad, the reward given to Wanhe by the Holy Emperor is too much. He is titled Duke of the Kingdom, plus Taiwei and Taifu. Wanhe will be on top of our Yuwen family in due course. In my opinion, we might as well..."
Before Yu Wen Zhiji finished speaking, Yu Wenshu shook his head slowly, stopping Yu Wen Zhiji from continuing. He also lowered his voice and said: "In this situation, if anyone speaks, it is the Sacred Sweeper. Interest will only make the Holy Emperor value Wan He more. Didn't you see that even Fan Zigai's stupid young man didn't say anything? It's just Wan He. Even if he is rewarded by the Duke, what will happen? Don't mess up. We're on the right track."
After being scolded by Yu Wenshu, Yu Wen Zhiji could only shrink back in despair. At the same time, all the civil and military officials present were thinking about something in their own minds. But the one with the most ugly face was undoubtedly Qi Wang Yang. Fucked.
Yang Jian did not stand behind Yang Guang. Instead, he stayed at the top of the city. At this moment, he was condescendingly glaring at Wan He with hatred on his face. This was not only because of the past disputes between him and Wan He, but also because of the From Yang Jian's point of view, Wan He had taken away the reward that should have belonged to him. Because before that, according to Yang Guang's wishes, Yang Jian was supposed to have led the 30,000 Royal Forest Army troops stationed in Guoxian County. But that was not the case. Knowing what tricks Wan He used, he was stunned to make Yang Guang change his mind. If Yang Guang had not changed his mind at the beginning, then it should be him, Yang Jian, who is leading the rescue and making great achievements now. Maybe. Yang Guang Hui directly confirmed his position as the crown prince because of this. But now, everything was in vain. Instead, Wan He was allowed to enjoy such a high reward. Thinking of this, Yang Jian couldn't help but grind his teeth with hatred.
"Your Highness." At this time, behind Yang Jian, a voice sounded quietly. A man dressed as a soldier came silently behind Yang Jian. But it was Old Man Liao, the chief think tank beside Yang Jian. Liao The old man first waved his hand and signaled the soldiers around him to block Yang Jian's left and right sides. Then he lowered his voice and said to Yang Jian: "Your Highness, calm down. Now Wan He is the popular man in front of the Holy Emperor. Your Highness should not go against him anymore. That will only make His Majesty unhappy."
Old Man Liao's words made Yang Jian even more dissatisfied. With a gloomy face, he snorted: "Asshole. Could it be that I, the majestic prince, have to look at the face of a merchant son?"
"Your Highness, you must not be impulsive in what is going on right now." Seeing Yang Jian's attitude, Old Man Liao could only continue to persuade him. "Your Highness, haven't you understood? Your Majesty asked Wan He to concurrently serve as the Tutor of the East Palace. But now The East Palace is suspended. Isn't Wan He, the Grand Tutor, a sinecure? This clearly explains to the people in the court that Wan He is the assistant to the future prince."
Yang Tong still had an angry look on his face before. But when he heard the last words of Old Man Liao, he was suddenly shocked. His face turned pale. He turned to Old Man Liao and said, "This Wan He is Yang Tong's man. Then, that father If the emperor does this, wouldn't it mean that he will give the position of crown prince to Yang Tong?"
"Your Highness, don't panic." In contrast, Old Man Liao was more calm. He shook his head and said: "How could the Holy One determine the position of the crown prince so easily? The Holy One did this to destroy the relationship between Wan He and the King of Yue. It seems that there is a post of Grand Tutor of the East Palace. How could the King of Yue dare to have too close contact with Wan He? On the contrary, I think that His Highness should take this opportunity to repair the relationship with Wan He. According to my opinion, .Wan He is definitely not as unlearned as he appears on the surface. This person should not be offended easily."
