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

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

Zhao Mo changed his clothes, personally brought a pot of tea and two cups, and sat next to her. Qin Hanzhen asked Zhao Mo: "Entering the palace today, the Emperor Taishang and the emperor know the news of the death of the eldest uncle and grandmother, do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Mo shook his head: "What can they say? According to the old practice, it is just enough to send a decent eunuch to the mansion to mourn." Cheng Enhou is not a saint, and the reputation of Mrs. Cheng Enhou is also indescribable, and I don't think I will even have the honor after death. If the palace can send people to mourn, it is already enough to give the face of the Chengenhou Mansion. Your second uncle also knows it in his heart, so he won't complain. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "The second uncle originally did a good job as an official, but it has been less than two years since he was promoted, right? He's really not young. There is also a lobby brother, the new jinshi has not been hired, and he has not taken the Shu Jishi, and a year later, he has been filial piety and then sought an official position, and everything is one step behind the same list in the same year, which is a pity. We had discussed where he should go to make a county magistrate, and we discussed it so vigorously. ”

Zhao Mo paused: "Speaking of the matter of the Gaoyang County Order, now that Brother Jian can no longer find this shortage, there is no need for me to delay some things." When I entered the palace today to see the emperor, I heard him mention this matter again, so I responded with the boat. ”

This is a bit of a beginning. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but ask confusedly, "What are you talking about?"

"I also made contributions in the Liaodong War. Zhao Mo smiled at Qin Hanzhen, "Although it is not a martial arts, but it is not my boasting, if it is not for my credit, I am afraid that the battle in Liaodong will not be so easy to win, and it will not end so quickly, and it has not caused too much damage to the land and the people." The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor are both virtuous kings, and they will not turn a blind eye to my merits after rewarding the generals. As I mentioned to you earlier, the reward for me has already come down, but it has not been made public for the time being. ”

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened: "You mean...... Is the reward coming down now?what is it?!" She suddenly came to her senses, and the man sat up from the bench.

Zhao Mo smiled: "Guess?"

Qin Hanzhen slapped him on the chest: "You guy! I've always been playing tricks like this since I was a child, and now I'm married to you, and you're still playing tricks, I'm really angry!"

Zhao Mo laughed and held her jade hands with his left hand, not letting her really hit him, only then did he stretch out his right arm, hugged his wife into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "The reward for me is to assign Gaoyang County to me as a fief." From now on, I will be the king of Suyang County, not the king of Suning County. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at him in surprise, and didn't even bother to fight back or break free: "What are you talking about? Gao Yang? Now Gao Yang has also been assigned to you as a fief? Isn't Gao Yang closer to the capital? I remember that it was under the jurisdiction of Baoding Mansion, right?"

Zhao Mo nodded: "That's right, Gaoyang County is only a little smaller than Suning County, and the two sides are next to each other, and they are all under my name." Our family's fiefdom will be closer to the capital from now on, almost ...... Three hundred miles. I was able to get there in a day on horseback, which was more convenient. It's just that I built the palace a few years ago, and I don't plan to move for the time being, at most I will build a palace or something in Gaoyang County, and when we have time, we will move over and live for a few days. ”

This was too surprising for Qin Hanzhen, she originally thought that if the royal family wanted to reward Zhao Mo for his meritorious deeds, it would generally reward him with some gold and silver property, or manor property or something, or let him hold a more important position and hold greater authority. Even if he is directly promoted to prince, it is not impossible. Unexpectedly, in the end, the emperor actually added a fief to him, which nearly doubled his territory!

Even if the two counties of Suning and Gaoyang are combined, the area of the place is still small, and it can't even be compared with the fief of Zhao Mo's grandfather, the king of Yiyang County, but Yiyang is far away in Hunan Province, but Zhao Mo's fief is in Zhili! Zhili, that is, under the eyes of the emperor, can actually set aside such a large piece of land for Zhao Mo, and even does not prohibit him from establishing a large number of palace guards, which is really very fond of him.

Qin Hanzhen sighed with emotion, and solemnly said to Zhao Mo: "The emperor is really not thin on us. In the future, you must be more attentive when you do things for him. ”

Zhao Mo hugged Qin Hanzhen and said, "Of course." He's been so much nicer to me than my own father. Although I cannot recognize him as my father, in my heart he deserves more respect than my father. If he needs me, I will do my best to do things for him, and when he doesn't need me, I will obediently return to the fiefdom to live a peaceful life. No matter how heavy the emperor's favor is to me, I will not have any dissent. At the beginning, I only needed one sentence to enter the East Palace, but I couldn't agree. Now that I have become famous and married you again, and I have no regrets in my life, how can I not think about it at this time, and rush to find death? I know what to do. ”

Qin Hanzhen nestled in his arms and sighed: "Maybe it is precisely because you rejected the position of emperor and grandson, which is only one step away, that the emperor and the emperor will think highly of you." In the past ten years, they have suffered a lot from the ambitious children of the clan, and you are not confused by power, so you are naturally a clear stream among the children of the clan. ”

Zhao Mo smiled slightly and did not speak. Where is he not confused by power? What should be pursued, he will still pursue, as long as he is willing to accept the price he needs to pay after gaining power. If he didn't want to pay that price, it wasn't what he wanted to pursue, so what did it matter if he refused? Besides, he didn't think he was having a good time right now. If he really entered the East Palace and recognized the crown prince and the crown princess as his mother at that time, he might not really be able to live the life he wanted. The most important point is that he may not be able to marry Qin Hanzhen as his wife smoothly, and he has to arrange the marriage according to the will of the crown princess Tang. Then even if he ascends to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the future and dominates the world, what is the point? If he marries someone else, Qin Hanzhen will never be subservient to others, and he will naturally marry someone else. Since he has reached that status, he still can't get the person he wants, so it is better to be a good king of the clan like now, love husband and wife, live a smooth life, and live a peaceful and happy life.

The corners of Zhao Mo's mouth curled slightly, and he said to Qin Hanzhen in a good mood: "In April and May this year, there are a group of clan disciples who want to be knighted. This is the first time since the new monarch ascended the throne that the clan has been given a seal to the clan, and Beijing should be lively. My reward should have come down with the will of this batch of knights. Beirong invaded the south, although the main battlefield was in Liaodong, but Qin also fought a few battles, and several cousins of Qin Wangfu would definitely have rewards at that time. When the time comes, other county kings will share the limelight with me, and I won't worry about what others say. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and asked: "You just used this as a reason to delay the will until now?" Speaking of which, yesterday you told Brother Lobby that let him go to fight for the position of Gaoyang County Commander as soon as possible, just to fight the idea of time difference, right? If he can get this position before the will of the reward comes down, then even if he is an official in your fiefdom, you will support him in everything, and he will not worry about being troubled by the locals or the yamen officials. And if you have an eldest brother who is a county magistrate in a new fiefdom, it will naturally be more conducive to you to control the new territory. It's the best of both worlds. ”

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "Brother Jian went out to be an official for the first time, and let him go elsewhere, it was really a little uneasy. Since I know that Gaoyang County will come into my hands sooner or later, and asking him to watch for me will be good for me and him, why not do it? Now that the matter is not done, there is no point in delaying it any longer, so I simply settled this matter earlier, and saved no one who has no eyes from messing around in my fiefdom. Moreover, after Minshun is filial, she will be married, and she will have to arrange a fief or a fief for her at that time. She has been coquettish for a while, saying that she wants to be closer to me, and Tang Laoshangshu has taken a fancy to several places, including Gaoyang County. The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor will not reject Tang Laoshangshu's request for no reason, but I don't want to go back to the fiefdom, and I have to worry about other people's housework. Min Shun has been squeamish since she was a child, and she may not live in Fengyi for a long time, and most of them will beg me to help her keep an eye on it. But what the hell am I going to do? Won't the emperor send a reliable steward to take care of the property for her? It's thankless, so it's better to refuse it in the first place. ”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, and he felt the same way in his heart. Although the county lord of Minshun has a very likable temperament, but the identity is there, no matter how good the relationship with her is, it is impossible to talk and meet without scruples. When they return to the fiefdom, she and Zhao Mo will be able to live their own small lives without restraint, and then carefully care about the county lord of Minshun, wouldn't it be troublesome?

She smiled: "This place in Gaoyang County is not a good choice for a princess. If it is sealed there, won't the county lord of Minshun be called Princess Gaoyang? This title is too unlucky, right?"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "If you really want to seal Gaoyang County, the eldest daughter of the emperor will not be so aggrieved that she has to have such a small fiefdom, it is estimated that it will be counted together with Anxin County or other counties next to it, and when the time comes, it will be called Princess Gao'an, Princess Xinyang, how can it be sealed or not? Even if she continues to call her Princess Minshun, no one will pick it." ”

Qin Han was really right to think about it, so he laughed it off.

Zhao Mo said: "Master Tang should be about to get old. When Minshun is filial piety and gets married, his old man can retire with confidence. In his life, although he has a daughter who is not worried, he has been an official for decades, and there seems to be nothing to regret about getting along with the monarch and the minister. His eldest son will be promoted to the head of the Ministry of Rites, which can be regarded as taking over his class, and the rest of the sons and nephews who are officials in the capital will also stay, and those who are in the outside will continue to stay in the locality, but the rest of the people will return to their hometowns with Donald. He has lived a clear life and acted with integrity all his life. The Emperor and the Emperor respect him very much and will give him enough dignity. In the matter of Minshun, I will also respect his intentions. Even Minshun's family affairs are actually set by him. ”

Qin Han couldn't help but be curious: "Has the candidate been decided?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "If there is no accident, it should be Yu Jingming, the son of Shoushan." ”

"Huh?!" Qin Hanzhen was taken aback, "How could it be him?!"

Zhao Mo smiled a little meaningfully: "Tang Lao Shangshu is thoughtful, he is also heartbroken for Minshun's granddaughter." However, the Emperor and the Emperor will agree to him. In this way, after the canonization of the new queen comes down, Tang Lao Shangshu will also return the favor. In this way, the harem of the government and the opposition will be stable. ”
