The matter of Xie Yuanzhen guarding Longguan and refusing to manage the army in the north spread throughout Zhongchu in a short time.

Han Ming just in time to return to Beijing with Xie Yuan to report on his work and receive a reward, coincidentally, Han Ming's efforts to quell the chaos this time were suppressed by Xie Yuan's battle to defend the pass, so not many people paid attention to it.

But he didn't care, after all, too much limelight is easy to attract jealousy, as long as the actual reward given by His Majesty the Emperor is sent in time, it is better than anything else, after all, the real reward is far more important than those false names.

On the day of the reward, Xie Yuan, Han Ming, Wen Cheng and others went to the palace in turn to receive the reward, Han Ming was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth class, although some people in the court were not very satisfied, but the fifth rank was not too high for the people in the court, plus Han Ming was a person Kuang Hua admired, so no one ran out to oppose it without opening his eyes.

However, Xie Yuan, who was named a general of Zhenxi and a fourth-class lord, was one level higher than Han Ming's title, and he was in the limelight for a while, and the magnates in the court were all thinking about how to win Xie Yuan over in private.

After all, as long as there are no accidents, this is the pillar of the central court in the future, even if it can't be wooed, it is very necessary to do a good job in the relationship.

As for Han Ming, the light in front of Xie Yuan was much dimmer, and the pacification of chaos was not a very powerful thing in the eyes of everyone, but it was the defense and expansion of the territory that was the true character of a great hero.

Wen Cheng also got some light with Xie Yuan this time, and won a lot of rewards, which can be regarded as not disappointing his father.

Han Ming, Xie Yuan, and Wen Cheng were left in the Qinzheng Hall by Kuang Hua after the reward ended.

Looking at the mountains of music on the table, Han Ming frowned slightly.

There are so many documents to be reviewed every day, and Kuang Hua's health is not good, I really don't know if he can resist it.

Wen Chengzhi didn't care about this, but talked to Han Ming and Xie Yuan.

"Eh, you say, why did Your Majesty leave us behind?"

"Your Majesty may have something to explain to us. Xie Yuan said.

Wen Cheng said thoughtfully: "Well, I think so, Your Majesty must have wanted to give us an extra reward when he left us, hahaha." ”

When Xie Yuan heard this, he said with a smile: "Lord Wen can really think that Your Majesty must have a task to explain when you leave us behind, and it doesn't matter if you can reward us, as long as you can successfully complete the task assigned by Your Majesty, it is enough." ”

"Brother Xie's realm, I can't compare, and I don't have any pursuits, I can't compare to the two of you. Hey, brother, won't you say a word?" Wen Cheng suddenly asked Han Ming.

"Oh, yes, yes. Han Ming said a little distractedly.

Wen Cheng was about to speak, but Kuang Hua had already walked out.

"I am very happy to see a few of you young talents in the middle of Chu. Kuang Hua said after sitting down.

"It is an honor for the minister to be able to do things for His Majesty. Xie Yuan immediately replied.

Kuang Hua listened to Xie Yuan's words, and his smile became brighter and brighter.

"This time, I will leave a few of them, first, I want to talk to you, and second, I want to talk to you. ”

Before Kuang Hua's words fell, Gonggong Cao beside him understood and immediately greeted outside the hall, and after a while, a group of palace maids walked in, each holding a box in his hand.

"There are some mountain treasures in the depths of the mountains of the Wind Country, and the treasure fish on the horizon, for you Aiqing, take it back and taste it, it can be regarded as a little bit of caution on my part. ”

Wen Cheng looked at the things Kuang Hua had rewarded, his saliva was about to flow out, and he began to have an irrepressible urge in his heart, ready to reach out to take it.

Xie Yuan touched Wen Cheng at the right time, making Wen Cheng react, and the two immediately said to Kuang Hua: "Thank you, Your Majesty for rewarding." ”

Although Han Ming reacted slowly, he also followed suit.

"Of course, there are still some small things to explain to the family of a few Qing families. After Kuang Hua finished speaking, the little eunuch beside him immediately held a few volumes of documents and handed them to the three of them.

"During the reign of my father, some officials were corrupt and perverted the law, and even worse, colluded with foreign enemies for personal gain. The empire seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is in ruins. Take this great drought as an example, the civil unrest could have been stopped, but the orders I issued were not implemented in various places, and some people were full of high-sounding words, which were simply corrupt. The more Kuang Hua spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he even pounded on the table.

"Cough, cough, cough. Maybe he was too excited, Kuang Hua covered his mouth and couldn't help coughing.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon. When Gonggong Cao saw it, he immediately helped Kuang Hua and said.

After a pause, Kuang Hua continued: "You are the most promising young talents in the empire, and I hope that you can always maintain a sincere heart and share a pressure for Zhongchu and me. This time, Zhongchu is already scarred, and I really hope it can get better. Kuang Hua sighed.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will do his best to sweep away the dust of the empire for His Majesty, and return Chu to a peaceful world. Xie Yuan was the first to say.

"Chen Wencheng, I am willing to pull out the pests for Your Majesty and clarify Yuyu. Wen Cheng also said.

As for Han Ming, he kept staring at Kuang Hua, when Kuang Hua coughed violently just now, Han Ming was worried about his body, he didn't lower his head like Xie Yuan and Wen Cheng, his eyes were always on Kuang Hua's body, and when Kuang Hua covered his mouth with a handkerchief, he vaguely saw a bright red.

"Your Majesty, your body is the most important thing. ”

Kuang Hua listened to Han Ming's words and smiled, "Xie Hanqing's family cares, I'm fine, it's the entire Zhongchu that is really sick." Today, I have given you the privilege of not being afraid, if you find that an official is corrupt or perverting the law, you can do it first. If you find someone who is honest and honest, you can recommend it to me, and I will definitely use it, and you must always remember the way of being an official. ”

The three of them listened to Kuang Hua's words and said in unison: "Obey." ”

Kuang Hua said this with a lot of weight, and directly gave them the privilege of cutting first and then playing, if they were not particularly trusted, ordinary people would not have this kind of treatment.

Han Ming didn't care, for him, this kind of right was dispensable, he had no concept of power, just like he was now a fifth-rank lord with a respected status, but he didn't have the slightest idea of humility.

Only Xie Yuan and Wen Cheng were like sifting chaff, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. They can understand the weight of Kuang Hua's words, as long as they do not make mistakes of principle, they will become the pillars of the DPRK and China in the future.

"Alright, go down, I'm going to rest. Kuang Hua waved his hand at everyone.

After the three of them left, Kuang Hua took out the silk scarf in his hand from behind his back, which was originally red, with a blood stain on it, but it was more conspicuous than red.

"Your Majesty, are you ......," Gonggong Cao said worriedly.

Kuang Hua raised his hand to stop Gonggong Cao.

"I'm fine. ”

After speaking, he looked ahead with deep eyes.

The hard work of the past few days has made Kuang Hua even have little time to rest, and his health has begun to become extremely poor, and there have been many things recently, and the officials in various places have violated the yang and yin, and he is angry and attacking, causing his already weak body to become weaker and weaker, and if it continues like this, I am afraid it will be extremely bad.
