73. Chapter 73
Above the temple test.
The scholars held their breath, Ji Xuanyuan stood on the hall, he was tired of listening to the scholars' singing praises, and even Cai Xiang and Yin Qingcheng, who were very optimistic, couldn't say anything. Just said a few polite words on the surface. An Sui was also very gloomy in his heart, probably as his father said, it is rare to have a confidant in life in such a situation.
Ji Xuanyuan nodded and asked the scholars to retreat. Good news came from the front line, and the 6,000 soldiers and horses in Anxu's hands not only successfully repelled the combined forces of Loulan and Guizi, but also defeated the enemy army, approaching the capital of Guizi, forcing the monarch of Guizi to send envoys to Dachu.
Ji Xuanyuan held his forehead, "I was so disappointed." ”
An Sui said, "The emperor doesn't have to be discouraged, most of these scholars have seen in the academy and officialdom, and they have nothing more than experience in internal affairs about what they have seen and understood." Weichen felt that if the emperor was interested, he might as well let these scholars go to the front line and border passes to experience some training, or in other words, to promote some young generals to the front line and border passes. ”
"Over the years, Honglu Temple has been in vain, but it still has some role in cultivating translators, and the affairs of the vassal country are also handed over to Dali Temple. In half a month, the Turtle Zi Envoy will arrive, and Da Chu has been threatened by it for many years, and I want to take this opportunity to kill their arrogance. ”
Ji Xuanyuan's eyes suddenly became fierce, "This time, I will definitely not let any woman from Da Chu go to make peace." I want that self-defeating turtle to take a good look at our Da Chu's demeanor. ”
An Sui has always only known that he has great ambitions, but he does not know the ambitions in his heart.
"An Sui, this time, your brother has made a great contribution, I want to reward him well, I have decided, I want to crown your brother as the general of Zhengsanpin Pingbei. Reward your brother with a thousand gold, and allow your brother to inherit your father's title, and the Jin land will be given to him as a fief, so that I can manage the barrier of the Jin land well. ”
An Sui immediately knelt down when he heard this, "Wechen thanked the emperor for his holy grace, but Wechen implored the emperor to take back his order." ”
"Aren't you happy that I have divided your brother?"
"Wechen is very grateful to the emperor for appreciating Wechen's brother. It's just that the emperor, even if the elder brother has made meritorious contributions, he will not jump from a miscellaneous general of the fifth rank to a general of the third rank of Pingbei. It is within his duty for my brother to guard my Dachu on the frontier, and the reward of the daughter is given to the elder brother, so it is better to appease the bereaved families of the border soldiers. Jin Di has been fighting for many years, not to mention the bitter cold, but the families of the soldiers are not allowed to be settled, and the military salary in the military camp is not enough, but the people's livelihood in Jin is so poor that the emperor can not imagine. As for the title of Marquis of Jin, it was the elder brother who gave it up on his own initiative, not out of helplessness, not to mention that Taiyi Ancestor said that he would no longer crown princes with different surnames. Therefore, Weichen implored the emperor to retract his order. ”
Ji Xuanyuan looked at An Sui, his heart warmed, and he stretched out his hand to help her up, "If others had been rewarded and had such a grand favor, they would have been grateful." If you say so, it is not possible for me to be so gracious that your brother may be impeached. You have a point, too. The treasury is tight, and even if I want to give a reward, it is better to appease the bereaved families of the deceased soldiers. ”
An Suifu knelt down again, "Your Majesty, Weichen still has a reluctant request." ”
"Get up and speak."
"The Jin land has been unsettled for many years, and the people are suffering, can the emperor use his brother's military exploits to pay taxes on the Jin border for three years."
"I see what you mean." Ji Xuanyuan said with a smile, "In the bitter cold land of Jindi, there are many wars, the people are displaced, and there are heavy taxes, which is really unbearable. I promise what you ask, but your brother's position still needs to be raised by one liter, otherwise the soldiers will not be convinced. In addition, among the new scholars, I also think that what you said is very true, and perhaps I want to ask them to go to the border to experience more. ”
