Chapter 608: On Meritorious Deeds
The emperor came in from outside the Changkun Palace, put the fold in his hand in front of Lin Yan, and said, "Take a look." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Lin Yan was a little strange, raised her head to look at the emperor, and asked, "What is this?" β
The emperor sat on the couch, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the couch, and said: "The excerpt written by your two brothers is very interesting. β
The northwest won a great victory, and now after the battle, it is naturally a reward for meritorious deeds. However, how should this credit be divided, but the general who led the troops should first make a list, write a request for merit, and then discuss it in the court, and finally decide on a plan for rewarding.
Lin Yan opened the excerpt while being surprised, and focused on the list listed under the excerpt.
In the excerpts of Lin Chengzheng and Lin Chenggang, they did not put their own merits in the first place, nor did they put the merits of the little prince of Huan in the first place, the first place was a cousin of the Lin family who had died in battle, the second place was Chen Ling, and the third place was the little prince Huan, Lin Chengzheng and Lin Chenggang put themselves in the fourth place.
In fact, no matter how you calculate it, among the four major battles, Lin Chengzheng and Lin Chenggang's credit should be the greatest, and the little prince Huan Xiao's contribution in the last battle against the Turpan Khanate is not small.
But Lin Chengzheng and Lin Chenggang neither put themselves in the first place, nor did they put the little prince Huan in the first place. In the first place, it was a general who died in battle, but this general was surnamed Lin.
I heard that Chen Ling's contributions in several major wars are not small, and when he wants to come out in the war, he is talking about military merits, so Chen Ling has risen very fast in recent years, and he has his own set of leading the army to fight, cunning and changeable and good at winning more with less, and understanding the way of dealing with people, many young soldiers in the army obey him, so he gradually has his own prestige in the army.
And most importantly, he's only twenty today. Being young is the capital, so the future is limitless.
The emperor said: "But when Chen Ling was left in the northwest, I didn't expect him to have such skills. β
Although Chen Ling is a criminal minister, the emperor wants to tolerate people who have the ability. The emperor still cherishes the good hand of killing and conquest.
The emperor said again: "Chen Ling is a cousin of your Lin family's family to learn art, and he can be regarded as your Lin family's protΓ©gΓ©. Huan'er said that it was Chen Ling who first found him and brought him out of the desert, so he should find a time to meet him. β
He once decreed that whoever found Huan'er would be rewarded with a big reward, and now that he has made great achievements, he can be rewarded together.
Lin Yan closed the fold and said with a smile: "Not only the emperor wants to see him, but even I want to see him." I also want to see what the children we saved have become now. When the emperor saw him, he asked him to come to Changkun Palace by the way, so that I could meet him. β
The emperor said curiously: "You are very interested in him. β
Lin Yan said: "He saved Huan'er, shouldn't I call him over to be grateful." β
The emperor thought about it, but he felt that it was right, so he didn't think about it anymore.
The court was in full swing because of the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds, and hundreds of civil and military officials came and went, all wanting to get more credit for the people who were good friends with them.
The courtiers were selfish, and the emperor naturally knew about it. He didn't bother to care about them, so he let them go first.
Then after finding a time, the emperor really summoned Chen Ling to the Qinzheng Palace.
The emperor first looked at him a few times, and now Chen Ling has grown into a handsome young man, with outstanding appearance and shining demeanor. It doesn't look like a perennial fighter, but like a talented scholar.
The emperor remembered that he was beautiful when he was a child. So Jun'er likes this beautiful brother very much.
Chen Ling knelt on the ground, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no fear in his eyes, only respect, respect for the imperial power.
The emperor looked at it and nodded, paused for a while, and then spoke again: "King Qin came back and tried his best to praise you for your contribution in the war in the northwest. I heard that King Qin was missing, and you were the first to find him, King Qin is my most beloved son, and I should be grateful to you. β
Chen Ling said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, this is all within the minister's responsibility." β
The emperor said, "I want to reward you, say, what reward do you want?" Whether it is a high-ranking official or a good man, I will answer you. β
Chen Ling was silent for a while, did not speak, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
The emperor was a little strange, and then said, "If you haven't thought about it yet, you can wait until you think about it before you come to me." β
Chen Ling suddenly raised his head at this time and said, "Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness King Qin disappeared, you made a holy decree stating that no matter who can find His Royal Highness King Qin, you can fulfill one of his wishes. I wonder if this decree is still valid today? β
The emperor glanced at him and said, "Naturally, Chrysostom will not regret it." Then he asked, "What do you want from me?" β
Chen Ling kowtowed heavily on the ground, raised his head again, and said solemnly to the emperor: "The minister wants to marry the fourth princess, please ask the emperor to agree." β
When the emperor heard this, he was first shocked, then furious, glared at him with wide eyes, picked up the inkstone on the table, threw it directly at his head, and said angrily: "You are presumptuous! β
Chen Ling didn't dodge, and the inkstone smashed directly into his head. When the emperor threw it out, he didn't restrain his strength, and a hole instantly appeared on his head, and blood flowed out of his head, bright red and a little dazzling.
Chen Ling didn't care, he kowtowed heavily on the ground again, and still said firmly: "Ask the emperor to fulfill it!" β
But the emperor was not angry at all, his face was so angry that the muscles were almost flushed, and he said sharply: "Chen Ling, you are simply too presumptuous, do you think that I will not dare to kill you because of my merits?" What do you think of my princess as something you can give as you please? β
Chen Ling raised his head and said, "The minister didn't mean to blaspheme the four princesses, the minister and the four princesses met as a young man, and the minister just admired the four princesses too much." In the hearts of the ministers, the four princesses are noble and holy, and no one can compare with them. The minister can not want all rewards, do not want high-ranking officials and generous people, and the only person who wants is the four princesses. β
The Emperor snorted, "You said you don't want any reward, but you marry my princess and get everything." Said and said angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you really haven't changed at all for many years, and you still want to beat my Jun'er's idea." β
Chen Ling wanted to argue, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants the fourth princess, except for admiration, there is nothing he wants to ......."
The emperor didn't want to hear any more words from him, and shouted coldly: "Drag him out and beat him with twenty boards." As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ling, who was still kneeling on the ground, with cold eyes, and said, "This is your punishment for disrespecting the fourth princess, and there will be a next time, but it will not be as simple as a board."
