In less than half an hour, Song Yanzhao returned.

"What good did the Empress Dowager tell you?" Mu Jin looked curiously at his stretched eyebrows and the corners of his mouth.

"So obvious?" Song Yanzhao blinked, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl again.

Mu Jin pointed to the corner of his lips and compared it back, "I'm almost laughing behind my ears!" ”

Where is that exaggerated? Song Yanzhao touched his mouth and glanced at her funny.

"Empress Dowager Mu said that she would like to send envoys to Jinling to explain to Your Majesty the truth of the Battle of Yizhou Road twenty years ago, and send envoys to congratulate you every year in the future."

This is what it means to befriend Da Zhou and seek the blessing of Da Zhou.

Mu Jin blinked, thought about it, and felt that he could understand Empress Dowager Mu's decision.

After all, she is old, and although Mu Ruo's body is well recuperated, she can't live in the palace, but can only live in a cool and cold place.

If Mu can't live in the palace, it means that she can't help Empress Dowager Mu take care of the government.

After all, the Empress Dowager Mu is old, and after the toss of this war, the death of Mrs. Mu has made her body even more exhausted.

The little emperor was only three years old, and it would take more than ten years for him to handle government affairs independently.

For more than ten years, there are too many variables, who knows if there will be a second season of people like this?

It is better to take this opportunity to announce Mu Ruo's life history and seek the blessing of Da Zhou.

In the future, sending envoys to congratulate every year means paying tribute.

With the support of Da Zhou, the throne of the little emperor will naturally be able to sit more securely.

It's no wonder that Song Yanzhao is so proud and proud, Jingchang has not had much contact with Da Zhou over the years.

But now because of him, because of the early end of the civil strife he brought to Jingchang, the Empress Dowager Mu is willing to go to the pilgrimage every year from now on.

Probably that's what men say about meritorious deeds.

The Battle of Pingshan broke the deadlock between Yizhou Road and Lingnan.

Empress Dowager Mu led her troops back to Ximeng City in a hurry, and she still had internal affairs to deal with.

After Song Yanzhao and King Fu triumphantly joined forces, they returned to Chengdu Mansion.

The process of the First World War in the Southwest was written into a concerto, and the matter of the last disaster relief plague was sorted out together, and the horse was sent back to Jinling.

The whole dynasty was shocked, Emperor Jiayou took the post and read it twice, first angry, and then happy!

"What a Huangshan at both ends of the first rat, not only is he rampant and domineering on Yizhou Road, greedy for military salaries, privately opening iron mines, and privately casting iron money, but he is also a villain who steals other people's military merits! Such traitors should be killed! ”

Emperor Jiayou's anger made the people in the court a little confused.

A few days ago, there was a twist and turn on Yizhou Road, saying that the Southwest Marquis Huangshan was greedy for military salaries and many other crimes, and Emperor Jiayou was furious at that time and announced that he had cut off the title of the Marquis of the Southwest.

Later, I heard that the Southwest Hou ran away, why did the Southwest Hou steal military merits today?

Emperor Jiayou threw the fold to the ministers for circulation, and everyone knew what was going on, and when they saw that Song Yanzhao had already arrested Huangshan and should kill the regent of Jingchang who colluded with him, and Jingchangguo was willing to surrender to the court, they were all stunned!

Is this still the rumored Jinling Xiaobawang?

Emperor Jiayou stroked his beard happily and chattered.

"Yan Zhao, this kid, I didn't expect it to be so brave and strategic, I just sent him to the southwest!"

"Look at how much he's done for me this year! Rectify the Praetorian Guard, reform Yizhou Road, and now even help me subdue Jingchangguo, it's really good, good, good! ”

Emperor Jiayou's three good words made the hearts of the ministers tremble when they heard it, and at the same time, they also understood that Song Yanzhao went to the southwest not because he beat Deng Wen's grandson and was sent over, but because Emperor Jiayou had already planned to let him take over the southwest!

didn't make a direct decree, but he was just worried about his teacher Deng Wen's face.

Deng Wen's beard, whose hair was almost white, trembled, and although his face was a little unsightly, he didn't say anything.

The ministers did not care about Deng Wen's thoughts, and complimented Emperor Jiayou one after another, "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Only the prince stood at the forefront, and his face was a little unsightly.

He didn't expect Huangshan to be so useless!

Cheng Lin stood beside the prince, glanced at the prince's expression, and his eyes drooped, covering the complexity under his eyes.

Emperor Jiayou was happy to be praised by all the ministers, "Each other's great victory, the meritorious ministers will be rewarded, and the officials will be rewarded according to the list submitted by Yan Zhao, oh, and those who have contributed to disaster relief will be rewarded together." ”

"The Criminal Department has drawn up a list of convictions, and I want clear rewards and punishments!"

The officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department who got the errand went down to get busy one after another.

The Criminal Department is still easy to handle, and in addition to Huangshan, the list submitted by Song Yanzhao also has some southwestern families that have colluded with the Huang family.

In line with the principle of moderate sentencing, the Criminal Department quickly drew up a list, and the heaviest sentence was Hou Huangshan in the southwest, and he was beheaded! All the men of the Huang family were executed, and the female dependents were put to school.

The list from the Criminal Department was handed over the next day.

The officials were a little embarrassed.

Song Yanzhao submitted a lot of lists, and the officials who contributed to the battle of Pingshan and the disaster relief and plague fight were all promoted to one level, and the number of officials was doubled.

There are three people who have been rewarded, but they are a little embarrassed!

The first is King Fu, when Song Yanzhao disappeared, King Fu was temporarily ordered to enter Yizhou Road for disaster relief, preside over the overall situation, and should be rewarded.

But King Fu is now a prince, and he can't add any more seals, and if he only rewards gold, silver and jewelry, it is too weak.

Some people propose to give the title to King Fu, while others think that the title is too honorable, and there has been no prince with a title in this dynasty.

The second is Song Yanzhao, whether it is disaster relief or the Battle of Pingshan, Song Yanzhao's contribution is undoubtedly the greatest.

Some people think that Song Yanzhao should be given the title of marquis, but some courtiers disagree, thinking that they should be named marquis all at once, for fear that Song Yanzhao will be young and vigorous, too public, and his career will not be good in the future.

The third person is Mu Jin.

Song Yanzhao's recital especially mentioned that Mu Jin had made great contributions in curing the plague, and without her, the people in the disaster area would not have survived.

In addition, Mu Jin first discovered the fact that the Marquis of Southwest opened an iron mine privately, and it was she who persuaded the Marquis of Guchang to lead troops to support Pingshan, so that Pingshan won a great victory!

It stands to reason that such a credit should be rewarded.

But the courtiers also made a difficulty.

Generally, such a meritorious little lady is a reward for her parents, but they still remember the severance of the relationship between Mu Niangzi and his father Mu Qingfeng, so they naturally don't want to propose to reward their parents.

But if Mu Jin was rewarded himself, they couldn't help but think that Mu Jin had cured the emperor's eldest grandson and healed King Liang, and Emperor Jiayou had not rewarded Mu Jin.

The courtiers knew that Emperor Jiayou was afraid that he had some prejudices against this little lady!

There are prejudices, and because of public opinion, they have to be sealed, so how should they be sealed?

Several officials of the Ministry of Officials almost turned gray with their hair because of this.

The secretary had no choice, so he begged Cheng Lin.
