178. Embarrassed
Gao Zixin didn't understand why the three auxiliary ministers came suddenly, and instinctively looked at Feng Xuan, but he was shocked when he saw it - Feng Xuan didn't know where to hide with Bao'er!
Gao Zixin pursed his lips depressedly, but he still didn't let Feng Xuan come out.
He hadn't reacted to why those three people came, but when Feng Xuan hid, Gao Zixin suddenly had a guess in his heart - could these three old things be here for Feng Xuan?
He touched his chin suspiciously, then walked to the front of the dragon chair and sat down upright, which allowed Huanxi to bring people in.
He looked condescendingly at the three people who slowly walked into the main hall, and just happened to see the gray sideburns of the three people, and his mood suddenly became complicated.
These three people are not a little old compared to when they first became auxiliary ministers last year.
He could guess why the three of them were like this.
Originally, the three of them were appointed as auxiliary ministers to assist him, a young man, ignoring the crumbling throne at that time, and the three of them could be regarded as complacent.
After all, he was young at the time, which meant that he could not control the entire court, and the three of them were auxiliary ministers, so the power in their hands was naturally not small.
It's a pity that he made repeated moves, and with Feng Xuan's help, he quickly grasped the power firmly in his hands, which made the three of them feel pressured.
Thinking of the past, Gao Zixin couldn't help but sigh, although these three people have a lot of selfishness, they are loyal to him in the end, and they haven't made any big mistakes, as long as they don't take the initiative to find death, he will naturally let them continue to be decent.
I just don't know what they're here for.
Soon, Gao Zixin knew the purpose of the three.
The three of them didn't beat around the bush, and as soon as they came, they directly expressed their attitude - they came here to want to know how Gao Zixin was going to reward Feng Xuan.
At this time, the three of them had never seen Taiping, although they knew that Taiping had also made great contributions, but Taiping started at the end of the microscopic end, even if they made great achievements, it was easy to be rewarded.
Feng Xuan is different.
He is a national teacher with a respected status in Liang, and has made great contributions in Lingnan, and now he not only repelled the Tartars, but also grabbed a large piece of territory from the Tartars.
But Feng Xuan's status is high enough, if he wants to be rewarded, is it difficult to make him a prince?
How old is Feng Xuan now? If he is crowned a prince now, how should he be rewarded for his military exploits in the future?
But his credit is there, and you can't pressure him not to give a reward, right?
Therefore, after the three of them discussed it privately, they were very entangled, and they still couldn't think of what kind of reward to give Feng Xuan.
However, what the three of them are more worried about is Gao Zixin's attitude.
Although Gao Zixin once didn't want to see Feng Xuan, he thought that Feng Xuan was a trick and abduction. But since Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan met, his favor for Feng Xuan can be said to be obvious to all, and even faintly surpassed his uncle He Kun!
This once made the three auxiliary ministers very uneasy, but unfortunately they did not dare to offend Feng Xuan, let alone rashly warn Gao Zixin to alienate Feng Xuan, so they could only hold it in their hearts.
Now, what they are most afraid of is that Gao Zixin favors Feng Xuan too much and rewards him too much, so that in the future, Feng Xuan's achievements will be high and there will be no reward.
So as soon as the three of them pondered, they came directly to Gao Zixin to find out Gao Zixin's tone. On the way here, the three of them had already made up their minds, if Gao Zixin insisted on rewarding Feng Xuan, then they would fight to the death and stop Gao Zixin.
However, Gao Zixin didn't know what the three auxiliary ministers were thinking at this time.
As soon as he heard the intention of the three of them, his heart moved, and he felt that this was an opportunity to let Feng Xuan be with him openly.
In the past, the two of them were always sneaky, and they didn't dare to let people know about it, for fear that Feng Xuan would take on the name of a male favorite who charmed the lord and was spurned by the world.
Now that Feng Xuan has made great achievements, Gao Zixin suddenly felt that the opportunity had come.
So he sighed in embarrassment and said, "The three Aiqing have a heart, and I have been thinking about this matter recently, and the reward for this Feng Xuan really makes me embarrassed. ”
When the three of them heard this, they immediately felt that they were not wrong this time, and at the same time they were relieved. Since Gao Zixin said that he felt embarrassed, he obviously didn't plan to reward Feng Xuan directly.
So, the three of them comforted Gao Zixin one after another, helped him come up with an idea, and built a third-class marquis for Feng Xuan.
When Gao Zixin heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he looked at the three of them unhappily.
Feng Xuan's achievements this time are so great, these three old things actually want to use a third-class marquis to send Feng Xuan away, it's really true!
The three of them noticed that Gao Zixin's expression was wrong, his face turned slightly pale, and he hesitated for a moment, and then he proposed to Feng Xuan a second-class marquis.
Gao Zixin looked at them coldly, and always felt that these three people were quite unwilling when they proposed the "second-class marquis"!
He couldn't help but say, "I remember that you recommended the national teacher to me many times, and also asked me to visit me in person. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have reused him. Now, the national teacher has made great achievements and expanded the territory for the Great Liang, but you have joined forces to suppress him, I really don't understand, what do you want? ”
He was already a little heavy, and although his tone was light, the meaning was very clear that he was angry.
The faces of the three of them turned paler, and they secretly screamed in their hearts that it was not good - careless! Careless! His Majesty clearly wants to reward Feng Xuan!
The three of them didn't deliberately suppress Feng Xuan, they just felt that Feng Xuan was still too young and the reward was too much, and it was likely that he would be a master in the future, and he would tear his face with Gao Zixin.
Whether it is Feng Xuan or Gao Zixin, they are not incompetent, once the two of them tear their faces, then the entire Liang is afraid that it will be affected by the war!
Therefore, the three of them hoped that Gao Zixin would not reward Feng Xuan this time.
It's a pity that Gao Zixin already had an idea in his heart. And Feng Xuan's hard work and military exploits were not for the title of the duke.
There was only one thing he wanted!
At this moment, Feng Xuan hid behind the screen with Bao'er, who was already asleep, and listened to the conversation between Gao Zixin and the three of them, and his face smiled incomprehensibly.
Gao Zixin couldn't see Feng Xuan's face at this time, and he didn't pay attention to where Feng Xuan was hiding. He looked at the three auxiliary ministers who suddenly knelt on the ground, and listened to the bitter persuasion of the three of them, and suddenly laughed.
It's a pity that the three of them knelt on the ground, and they couldn't see the smile on Gao Zixin's face at all.
They didn't even dare to raise their heads, only listed a number of reasons, and earnestly made Gao Zixin change his mind.
Gao Zixin listened for a while, and then sighed heavily: "The three Aiqing should get up, I actually understand what you said, but it's just ...... Ay...... As the Son of Heaven, I should lead by example, meritorious service is rewarded, and if there is a mistake, Feng Xuan has made great contributions now, if I am rewarded too lightly, wouldn't it make the hero feel cold? How can you block the mouths of the world? ”
He sighed as soon as he said a word, looking very embarrassed.
The three of them couldn't say any more now, they couldn't refute Gao Zixin's words at all!
The Holy Son of Heaven should have rewarded and punished clearly, but now they begged Gao Zi Xinmo to reward Feng Xuan generously, and they had already done too much.
So for a while, the three of them suddenly didn't know what to say.
Gao Zixin suddenly asked at this time: "What kind of reward do the three Aiqing think can not only be worthy of Feng Xuan's great achievements, but also don't have to worry about his high achievements in the future?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were directly asked.
The three of them looked at each other, if they knew the answer, why did they come to Gao Zixin!
Gao Zixin waited for a while, and when he saw that they were embarrassed, he sighed again and said with a disappointed face: "Could it be that even the three Aiqing can't think of a good way?" ”
The three of them looked at each other again, and finally had to kneel on the ground again, and said to Gao Zixin, Your Majesty, the ministers really can't think of it!
"Hey!" Gao Zixin sighed heavily, and suddenly as if he had made up his mind, the strong man said with a suffocation, "Since even the three Aiqing can't come up with a good solution, then I can only do that." ”
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and asked in unison, "Is Your Majesty planning to ......?"
The three of them suddenly became worried, could it be that Gao Zixin wanted to kill Feng Xuan?
As soon as this guess came out, the faces of the three of them turned pale at the same time, and they instinctively wanted to intercede with Feng Xuan. Feng Xuan is now not only without fault but has made great contributions, but he can't really let Gao Zi Xin Yu kill him!
As a result, just when the three of them were about to intercede for Feng Xuan, Gao Zixin suddenly clenched his fists and said, "I have decided to make Feng Xuan the queen!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three of them suddenly widened in shock, and they raised their heads and looked at Gao Zixin, suspecting that they had just heard it wrong.
Immediately? But Feng Xuan is obviously a man! How can there be a reason to make a man a queen? This doesn't make sense!
The three of them didn't care about interceding with Feng Xuan now, but opposed them one after another, and even quoted scriptures, just to let Gao Zixin dispel his mind.
Joke, Gao Zixin finally waited for this opportunity to bring up this matter, how could he give up?
He felt annoyed after listening to it for a while, so he asked directly: "Those three Aiqing think, what kind of reward is more suitable than the post?" ”
Which one is more suitable than the immediate aftermath!
The three of them said in unison in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it directly in front of Gao Zixin.
Who knew that Gao Zixin suddenly asked: "Do the three Aiqing think that Feng Xuan will make great contributions in the future?" ”
The three of them didn't know what to say, originally they were very sure that Feng Xuan would be able to continue to make meritorious contributions in the future, but Gao Zixin actually wanted to make Feng Xuan the queen, could Feng Xuan agree?
The three of them were in a dilemma, and they only felt that their hearts were about to break.
It's a pity that no one saw it, Feng Xuan behind the screen was smiling like a peach blossom.
