Chapter 98. Award people according to their contributions
Since Yang Su left, King Jin and him corresponded frequently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Talk about some major affairs of the government and politics, and also talk about some family trivialities. In the process, the relationship between the two people is getting better and better.
Time flies, and a year passes quickly.
Princess Jin watched King Jin write a letter to Yang Su, and said with a smile: "In another month, it will be the day of the court, and Your Highness will be able to see your old friend again." ā
King Jin patted his head, "Yes, I forgot about the court, let's not send this letter, I'll meet and talk to him when the time comes." ā
In recent years, this time of autumn every year has been more lively for the people of the Jin Dynasty than the Spring Festival. Everyone was busy preparing to return to Chang'an.
From preparing clothes for everyone to wear, to bringing Gangnam special gifts to the family. There are also all kinds of things used on the road, and everything has to be done carefully.
In the first year or two, there was no experience, and everyone was on the road without a major general. Now everyone who has come and gone has accumulated a wealth of experience. We are well prepared for all kinds of situations.
Finally, the day has come.
This time, Wang Shao also went back with them.
The emperor sent a letter asking the king of Jin to take Wang Shao to Chang'an together.
Wang Shao had a bad premonition when he saw the letter, "The emperor will definitely transfer me back to Chang'an this time." ā
King Jin looked at Wang Shao in surprise, since he had apprenticed to Wang Shao, he had never expected that one day he would leave him. In King Jin's opinion, too many things could not be completed without Wang Shao's help.
"If my father wants to drop you and go to Chang'an, I will strongly oppose it." King Jin said with a firm expression.
Wang Shao smiled and didn't speak. King Jin, even if you have great ability, how can you compete with the emperor? Silently, he was ready to leave Yangzhou.
Since the victory of the Pingchen War, Wang Shao has been in Yangzhou. We have been doing our best for the stability of all parties in Jiangnan.
Now that Yang Su's army has successfully counterinsurgency, Jiangnan is almost generally stable. It's time for me to retire.
They traveled for about twenty days and finally arrived in Chang'an.
Wang Shao looked at the gate of Chang'an, and he came to this gate with the king of Jin from Bingzhou a long time ago. Time has passed, and now he no longer has the energy he had at that time, although he also lamented that he was old at that time, but now he is even older.
Time, bear with you!
King Jin saw Wang Shao staring at the city gate in a daze, and remembered the situation of the horse race on Suzaku Street when he came back from Bingzhou. It seems that it was just yesterday, and it is so nostalgic.
"Master, do you want to try again?" King Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Wang Shao with a smile in his eyes.
If it was before, Wang Shao would definitely agree without hesitation. At this time, he was already feeling a little powerless. Shaking his head, he said, "No, this old bone is about to fall apart when he came to Chang'an from Yangzhou." Where else can I race horses with His Highness? ā
King Jin looked at Wang Shao, who was slightly tired, and was a little sad. Time is cruel!
The gate of Chang'an has just been opened in the early morning, and there are only three or three merchants on the street walking towards the east and west markets with goods, which is particularly wide.
The king of Jin marched towards the palace with his men and horses.
This time, I took my time to enjoy the scenery on both sides of Suzaku Street.
Soon they were at the palace, and as they had always done, most of them were able to go home to save their families.
The emperor, the queen, and Ah Wu, Yang Zhao, still stretched their necks as before, waiting for their arrival. After seeing King Jin, they came over to ask for warmth.
Although it is not the first time I have seen such an occasion, I will still be moved to tears by this warm scene.
After a warm family reunion, it was time to report to the court.
In the court, after the king of Jin reported on the counterinsurgency situation in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River and the subordination of various clan forces, the emperor was greatly satisfied and nodded frequently. All the officials in the court also praised King Jin's contributions.
"What reward does King Jin want, just say it!" The emperor was so happy that he felt that he had to give something to King Jin.
King Jin felt that this was what he should have done, and he didn't think that the emperor would reward anything. At this time, I was suddenly asked what reward I wanted, and I couldn't think of anything for a while.
The emperor thought that King Jin was embarrassed when he didn't speak, and encouraged him: "It's okay, just say what you want!" ā
King Jin wants to take Zhao'er back to Yangzhou, but is the emperor willing? King Jin wants Ah Wu to marry Xiao Yu, will the emperor agree?
Thinking that he couldn't say anything he really wanted, King Jin smiled and said to the emperor, "Back to my father, these are what my sons should do, and at present, my father has given my sons a lot of things, and there is no need to reward them anymore." ā
When the emperor heard King Jin say this, he no longer forced him. The more I like this son in my heart, the more I don't take credit for it, and I don't covet vanity. Why wasn't he the firstborn? If it is the eldest son, it will be relieved that this great country will be handed over to him to govern.
The ministers also praised King Jin's attitude. King Jin's performance over the years is obvious to all. When governing and annexing the state, he won the hearts of the people, and made many military exploits in the war against the Xiongnu. Not long ago, the performance of the Pingchen War was even more perfect. Today's pacification of the situation in Jiangnan has been completed beautifully.
The emperor smiled from ear to ear, and caught a glimpse of Wang Shao next to the King of Jin smiling the happiest. entrusted King Jin to him back then, and he really didn't see the wrong person.
"Zixiang, King Jin is so humble and promising now, and he can't do without your assistance and teaching. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! What reward you want, just say. ā
Wang Shao was very moved when he heard the emperor say this. He has achieved such a status in his life, although it is inseparable from his own efforts. The emperor's kindness is also indispensable.
"I should thank the emperor for giving me such a virtuous apprentice. Although King Jin is young, he already has his own unique views in the face of various situations. It's time for the old man to go into hiding. Although Wang Shao did not say what he wanted. The implicit meaning is that he hopes that the emperor can approve him to return to his hometown for retirement.
How could the emperor let a capable minister like him go into hiding like this, and now the court is the time to employ people. So he pretended not to hear that Wang Shao regarded the retreat as a reward.
"Zixiang is still at the right age, what do you say to go into hiding? Since you don't say what you want, I'll reward it myself. In addition, I have a heavy responsibility entrusted to you. The emperor said, his eyes looked at Yang Jun, the king of Qin, who was not far away.
King Qin himself is virtuous and bright, but because there are too many traitors and villains around him. As a result, life is chaotic now, and there are few political achievements.
"Now the town of the King of Qin is guarding Bingzhou, which is a military stronghold to resist the Xiongnu. There are few sages like Zixiang around him. Can Zixiang teach and assist King Qin for me? The emperor's tone was earnest, and he almost ran off the dragon chair and knelt on the ground.
Wang Shao was embarrassed when he heard this. In this case, agreeing is not not agreeing, let alone agreeing. I never thought that the emperor would give himself such a problem!
