Chapter 93: On Meritorious Deeds
After being exempted from the court for three days, and on the fourth day, Wang Rui did not even have the qualifications to stand outside the palace to listen to the government because of his poor rank, so he returned to the army to report.
After the next dynasty, Jinshu came back and brought back good news, Wang Rui was exceptionally promoted to the deputy general of the fourth grade and arranged to serve in the White Tiger Battalion. It is said that Emperor Wenzong heard that Wang Rui's nickname was Huzi, and said with a smile, "Huzi, just go to the tiger's nest in the White Tiger Camp to stay."
Han Jinshu became the right attendant of the military department, and many ministers in the DPRK and China felt sorry for him, but unfortunately the general was hopeless in the future, and Marshal Xiao was upset for him because of this, and was persuaded by him.
The candidates for the general of the Imperial Forest Army and the commander of the Ouchi guards, who have been deadlocked between the DPRK and China, have also been decided, Huang Yongda became the general of the Imperial Forest Army, and the son of the general Zhenguo became the commander of the Ouchi guards.
This time, the eldest prince still did not take advantage. Because although the second prince and the eighth prince were not convinced by the crown prince Qin Hao, they didn't want him to take advantage of him, and kept vetoing his candidacy.
Huang Yongda is undoubtedly the person of His Royal Highness the Prince, Qin Hao accepted it when he saw it, and after taking the position of general of the Imperial Forest Army, the commander of the inner guard threw out this piece of fat and let them rob it.
Everyone was at a stalemate, so they had to compromise and choose a neutral faction that everyone was convinced of. The Zhenguo general's family has always been a neutral faction in the court, and so far they have not seen them get close to any prince, so let Zheng Chengyu, the son of the Zhenguo general Zheng Jingjia, be the commander of the inner guard, and several princes have no opinion.
In the Battle of Beijon, the rest of the generals each had a reward. Marshal Xiao led troops to garrison the land of Gyeonggi, and Shuozhou sent other people to guard it.
In the battle of Shuozhou and Jizhou, the fallen officials were posthumously awarded, Li Yue and his wife were posthumously awarded the loyal general and the general's wife, but unfortunately Li Yue and his wife left only one daughter, no son can take over the father's position, when the will of the reward came to the Liu family, Li Ruyue knelt down to thank the emperor, remembered the tragic death of his father, and cried uncontrollably.
Although the Li family and his wife have passed away, it is always a good thing to be rewarded, and Jinwen still went to Liu's house to visit Li Ruyue early in the morning.
When she arrived at Liu's house, the incense case ordered by the Liu family was removed, and Li Ruyue was overly sad and resting in her room. Mrs. Liu saw that Jinwen was not an outsider, so she simply asked people to take Jinwen to Ruyue's boudoir, where two girls were sitting, Jinwen knew that these two should be the ladies of the Liu family, so she hurriedly greeted her.
The three of them sat down to comfort Li Ruyue together, Li Ruyue saw that Jinwen remembered that her uncle and aunt also died early, and pulled Jinwen and said, "My sister is the same as me, both parents are thin", and then tears rained down, in fact, she felt that Jinwen had no parents, so she had Jinshu's brother, and she was now living in her grandfather's house, although her cousins and cousins were close, how could she compare to her mother's compatriots.
The eldest lady of the Liu family persuaded: "Cousin Yue, don't be sad, your uncle and aunt only have one daughter, and now I hope you are well." They have spirits in heaven, and if you are so sad again, you must be worried. ”
Jin Wen also felt her sadness, and remembered that after her parents passed away, the brother and sister left in a hurry in order to escape from the black hands of their uncle and aunt, and they couldn't even finish their parents' rituals properly. Hearing what the eldest lady of the Liu family said that there is a spirit in the sky, she said to Li Ruyue: "Sister Yue, I discussed with my brother to make a superborn dojo for my parents, and now that my uncle and aunt are gone, why don't we find a temple together and do a good ritual for them." ”
Li Ruyue was naturally willing, and the two young ladies of the Liu family did not stop them, and the four of them discussed which temple in the capital was famous, and heard that which monk was profound, and asked people to invite Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu to serve as counselors.
Li Ruyue was still young when she arrived in the capital, and she didn't think about doing things for her parents, but when she grew up, she knew that her grandfather's family was a good family for her grandfather and uncle, and the family was not good at management, and she was financially constrained, so she was embarrassed to let her grandparents and aunt take the money. The Li family's silver was not brought out in Shuozhou, but now that they have the reward from the saint, they can do their best.
For Emperor Wenzong, the internal reward was solved, and the Beirong mission had been hung in the post house for several days, and Ma Wei was also given. Therefore, after the early dynasty of the reward was completed on this day, Emperor Wenzong finally summoned the chief and deputy envoys of the Beirong mission and accepted the credentials they submitted.
The envoy of Beirong said: "Your Majesty, Emperor of the Great Shang, for the sake of the good-neighborliness of the two countries, my lord specially sent our ten princesses to come together, hoping to conclude a marriage and be friendly for generations. ”
Prime Minister Li Cheng said: "Your Excellency, Dashang has been close and neighborly for many years, but you Beirong has violated the border for no reason and killed my Dashang people, and now this sincerity of seeking peace, is it just to let a princess come and kiss?" ”
Prime Minister Li's words are poisonous enough, which means that he kills, sets fires and robs things, and he can't fight it, so he returns to the nest and sends a daughter over, and it's over? Do you want to pay for something? Who doesn't know that the lord of Beirong can't give birth to a son, and now there are only two sons, and more than 20 daughters have been born.
The envoy of Beirong hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the ten princesses of my country are the pearls of my lord's palm, love is like a treasure, the lord of the country let the princess come and kiss, one is for the friendship of the two generations, and the other is to show the sincerity of our country." In addition, our lord was willing to offer 10,000 head of cattle and sheep, 3,000 good horses, and some jewels as a dowry for the princess. ”
Trousseau?
All the ministers are all human spirits, what else do they not understand when they hear this, the lord of Beirong is to put gold on his face, and he does not want to be said to be defeated and compensated, but to marry his daughter and give a dowry.
But the princes thought about it one more layer, dowry? Does that mean that whoever marries this princess will get these things?
The crown prince Qin Hao glanced at Prime Minister Li Cheng, and Prime Minister Li Cheng understood, and immediately said: "Is the lord of Beirong joking with our big business?" The so-called peace is peace discussion, and peace is harmony, how can two things be confused? ”
The envoy of Beirong was still not in a hurry, but still said: "The Prime Minister misunderstood, I just said the dowry, and my lord also prepared the same thing for the purpose of peacemaking. ”
In other words, Beirong intends to pay 20,000 cattle and sheep, 6,000 good horses, and a number of jewels, which will be divided into two, one is the princess's dowry, and the other is the compensation for peace?
"Six thousand good horses? Beirong is called Hanako? "General Lieli, someone said in a weird way, although the words are vulgar, but the meaning is already clear.
The envoy of Beirong naturally knows that these things will definitely not be satisfied, but the so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back, anyway, everyone always has to grind slowly, he showed a sly smile, the key is that as long as the princes are interested in the dowry of the tenth princess or the tenth princess, then it will be fine.
Han Jinshu watched from the side, and naturally knew that Beirong was trying to sow discord, if the princes of the Great Merchants were fighting endlessly, it would be an opportunity for Beirong, and if there was civil strife in the Great Shang, it would be even better. (To be continued.) )
