Chapter 337: Making Wedding Dresses for Others
This year passed too quickly, and Yun Xiang couldn't help but sigh when she recalled the scene when her family first arrived in the capital.
Yun Xiang's family came to the main hall of the night banquet, and many people had already arrived early. This time, the family has clearly adapted to the environment and atmosphere. is the most uncomfortable Zhou family is lively with these noblewomen.
Yunlian is still calm, she will be eighteen years old after the New Year, in the past few years, her temperament has become better and better, calm, quiet, elegant, and her gestures are full of beauty, even these ladies of aristocratic families are difficult to compare with her.
Yun Xiang was proud in her heart, who would have thought of the embarrassing situation of this family at the beginning? Shattered clothes full of patches, messy hair, yellow face and thin muscles, and I can't even eat!
Yun Lian's wedding date was rescheduled, on the sixth day of the second month. Liu Yunyang chose the eighth day of the third month of March, in order to fulfill Gu Mo's wish to get married as soon as possible. Yun Xiang and Lu were married on March 26, so the wedding date was set for April 16.
After the New Year, they held happy events for three months in a row, but they were busy with Zhou and Liu Chengshuang. However, they had little experience, so the Duchess of England volunteered to help them with her daughter-in-law and two nieces.
Although there was no announcement of the recognition of the relationship with Yunxiang's family, many people saw the truth. Coupled with Concubine Niangniang's intentional or unintentional clarification of her position, who still doesn't understand the Tao here?
There is no change in the previous mode of singing merit and praising virtue and the emperor's appearance, but this year the emperor finally has the aura of expanding the territory, so the time in the link of singing merit and praise has increased a lot.
The emperor takes his seat. Full of emotion, "This year is the year of great summer's take-off." Not only have new grain varieties been popularized throughout the country. Let my people in Great Xia no longer have the destitution of starvation, and it has strengthened the national strength of my Great Xia Kingdom. In the second half of the year, not only did I drive out Nanyue, who invaded my Great Xia, but also hit all the way to the national capital of Nanyue, expanding my territory. It really made me happy, and I felt worthy of the emperor. ”
The person next to him wanted to take a couple of sycophants, but the emperor waved his hand. "Listen to me. Tonight, I want to reward these meritorious men who have done a lot for me and Great Xia! Come on, proclaim! ”
Earlier, when the news came out that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was going to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, everyone had already guessed the content of the reward. Now, I pricked up my ears for fear of missing a little content.
Father-in-law Yu stepped forward with the holy decree in his hand, "Lord Si Nongqi, this first holy decree is for you. Please also come forward to answer the order. ”
Da Si Nong stepped forward. Everyone in the Qi family knelt behind him. It's said to be a reward! It must be the honor of the family! The whole family was in a state of excitement.
“…… Dasi Nong has worked hard and made great achievements, and for the benefit of all the people in the world, he has specially ...... a section of agricultural affairs"
The decree has a special format, which is a bit awkward to say. But Yun Xiang heard it very clearly, the title of Dasi Nong remained the same, but he went directly from the third grade to the same level as the second grade and the sixth Shangshu.
This step of Dasi Nong should be said to be a matter of time and time, and everyone has counted it. So there is envy. But there were not many surprises.
"Liu Chengshuang stepped forward to listen to the order!"
The achievements of Dasi Nong can be said. It was all made by Liu Chengshuang. If it weren't for Liu Chengshuang's grain seeds, well irrigation, and so on, he would not have been able to start agriculture in Daxia in a short period of time. Therefore, it is reasonable for Liu Chengshuang to be rewarded again, but because he has a relatively low background, many people are not happy.
As a powerful subordinate of Dasi Nong, Liu Chengshuang was promoted two levels in a row like Lord Qi, and he became a member of the Si Nong Department of the Fourth Grade, which also benefited a lot.
Of course, in addition to Liu Chengshuang, there are more or less several cronies who have been following Da Si Nong
Then he raised one level as a reward.
The matter of the Ministry of Agriculture is over, and everyone is looking forward to it even more, and the following should be the highlight!
Surprisingly, the first reward was not Gu Mo as a marshal. Rather, it was some low-ranking generals. This was followed by the other generals who went on this expedition. Zhao Hui used to be a guerrilla general from the fourth grade, but now he has directly become the general of the third rank and is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army.
However, Zhao Hui, as the emperor's nephew, has a large span. The blow was a little surprised, but he also made an excuse in his heart. However, there are still some people who perceive the importance that the emperor attaches to this Nanyue victory.
King Qi sat not far from the emperor, smiling strongly. All the credit should fall on you! He has become a prince, and the emperor will definitely not be able to reward him anymore, so he will let him take over the military power of this army of 100,000. But everything was different from what he had envisioned! Thinking about the previous life, he died tragically under the sword of the second prince in the end, and he firmly believed that he must seize the throne!
After the reward was over, after Father-in-law Yu silently retreated, everyone looked at Gu Mo suspiciously, and the emperor slowly spoke.
"Gu Mo, I entered my Qilin Guard before I was a minor. I have been working for me for so many years and have made a lot of contributions. The rebellion case of the prince of the spirit king and the case of the cult bewitchment are all his contributions, and he has also been rescued many times later. This time, it is to expand the territory instead of me! I love this child very much, and I think it's fate. After thinking about it again, I plan to recognize this righteous son! Gu Guogong, you have no opinion, right? ”
The ancient prince was shocked! He thought that it would be good for Gu Mo to be able to seal a title, but he didn't expect the emperor to recognize his son! He knelt in front of the emperor, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't dare to say anything about Gu Mo's unknown ancestry. Gu Mo was when the saint was in his body, and he couldn't be impulsive, so he could only kowtow and thank him.
Gu Mo was also a little surprised and a little sad in his heart. He stepped forward without sadness or joy on his face, gave a big gift of thanks, his lips trembled, and he still said, "The son knocks to see his father." ”
The emperor had mixed feelings for a while, but he tried his best to hide it. However, his slightly trembling hand still made the queen and imperial concubine beside him couldn't help frowning, and noticed something unusual.
"Good! Good! The emperor laughed twice in disguise, and then said, "Since ancient times, the heroes who have sealed the territory and expanded the territory have all been feudal princes, and now I will specially appoint you as the king of the south, and guard the southern moon for me!" ”
Everyone present was stunned, and then there was an incredible chaos! The emperor gave Nanyue directly to Gu Mo, the newly crowned king of Nan!
"Quiet!" The emperor frowned, "Nanyue was defeated by King Nan, and now the people of Nanyue are convinced by King Nan, so they are naturally the best candidates to guard Nanyue!" Why, you have different meanings? ”
Everyone had to admit that what the emperor said was very reasonable, but it was really difficult to accept it for a while. However, the emperor also said that he was only temporarily guarded, but he did not say that it was assigned to Gu Mo as a fief. Although this Nanyue is small, there are also six prefectures and seventeen or eighteen counties! Although the population and scale are not comparable to the capital cities of Great Xia, and the land area is less than one-tenth of that of Great Xia, it was once a country after all.
The eldest prince opened his mouth like a thunderbolt! He seems to have done something stupid! Everything he worked so hard to plan turned out to be a wedding dress for Gu Mo! (To be continued.) )
