Only before Zhao Dongting let Yunjing sleep, he had to explain a few words to Le Wu.

It's not trivial for this girl to be jealous.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to see her sneak out of the palace again.

He told Le Wu that when Xiao Yulin came to Changsha in a while, he would personally talk to Xiao Yulin about it, and then officially accept her as a concubine.

This only made Dele Dance full of red faces, and there was nothing unpleasant in his heart.

Following.

Zhao Dongting got up refreshed.

Yunjing is still sleeping soundly on the bed, her hair is messy, but she looks even more beautiful.

Zhao Dongting tiptoed and didn't wake her up. After letting the maid get dressed, she went straight to the imperial study.

At this time, the sky was still slightly bright.

Gonggong Liu was already waiting in the imperial study.

As soon as Zhao Dongting entered the imperial study, he said to Liu Gong: "Father-in-law, come for breakfast." In addition, go to Xuan Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang to enter the palace. ”

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang's performance on Guangnan West Road was extremely good, and he was now a little eager to see the two brothers.

This time, the two brothers did give him a long face.

Zhao Dongting didn't mind rewarding the two of them first.

Now the war in southern and western Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty has come to a complete end, and the situation in northern Xinjiang is also close to clear. Now rewarding the two of them can more or less make the soldiers from all over the world more excited.

He, Zhao Dongting, is not the kind of person who is not rewarded for his merits.

First rewarded Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang brothers, and also wanted to make a show for the generals from all over the world.

I think that when the war is over, there will be countless new stars in the army rising in the Great Song Dynasty.

Soon, a eunuch came in with breakfast.

Zhao Dongting dined in the imperial study.

Then not long after, the brothers Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang were also brought over by Father-in-law Liu.

As soon as they entered the imperial study, the two brothers knelt on the ground, "Weichen Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang knocked to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live, long live......

Zhao Dongting personally got up and helped the two brothers up, and said with a smile: "This time, you two brothers have made great contributions to Guangnan West Road, and they have worked hard. ”

The two brothers were just busy giving up, "Weichen didn't dare to take credit." ”

Zhao Dongting said: "What is there to dare to take credit for, it is your credit that is yours, there is no need to be so modest." ”

As he spoke, he showed a slightly playful smile and said softly: "I heard that when you returned to the Imperial City yesterday, it caused quite a stir, and countless ladies in the Imperial City went to the city to greet you. Do you see a girl you like? ”

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang brothers sneered. They didn't even dare to look at it.

Zhao Dongting didn't ask much, patted his brothers on the shoulders, "When you have a favorite girl's family, I will give you a marriage." ”

This matter is actually nothing to Zhao Dongting, but it fell in the ears of Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang, but it made both of them grateful.

This is the king's favor. Speaking of which, it is the same reason that those big officials can shake hands with the people casually, and they can also make the people feel honored.

"Give a seat."

asked the eunuch to give Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang two brothers, and Zhao Dongting also returned to the bed to sit.

His eyes were still looking at the two brothers, he couldn't stop smiling, and said slowly: "You destroyed the 50,000 Yue Li army in Yongzhou, and you and Liu Hongyi pacified the Dali army. I have already seen the military achievements in the good news written to me by Liu Hongyi's pacification envoy, and the performance of the two of you on this trip is indeed very surprising to me! Even if I go in person, I may not be able to do better than you two brothers. ”

The smile on Zhao Dongting's face became thicker and thicker, "It's been a long time since you stayed by my side, and you've learned almost everything you should have learned." I would like to ask you two if you want to serve in the army, or if you want to be sent to a local government or continue to serve in this imperial city. But to put it well, it's impossible to continue to stay by my side and be a little yellow door, if this is to be spread, people in the world will say that I am not rewarded. ”

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang really had such thoughts, and they were about to open their mouths, but when they heard Zhao Dongting say this, they had to swallow the words in their stomachs again.

The time when I stayed in the imperial study and waited for Zhao Dongting was not easy, but it was very fulfilling. The two brothers also enjoyed that time.

But Zhao Dongting said so, and they obviously had no possibility of staying in the palace again.

The brothers Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong looked at each other.

Then Zhu Hecong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to continue to stay in the imperial city as an official." ”

Zhu Haiwang continued: "Weichen wants to serve in the army. ”

In fact, they had already discussed this matter last night. Because yesterday, when Gonggong Liu passed the decree, he said that when the emperor returned to the palace, he would reward them separately.

Zhu Hecong is the eldest brother, and he stayed in the imperial city, probably because he wanted to serve his parents in the future. And Zhu Haiwang, as a younger brother, can chase his dreams.

During the period of fighting on Quang Nam West Road, he was full of enthusiasm, and he still remembers it to this day.

Zhao Dongting was not surprised when he heard the two brothers say this, but just tapped his fingers lightly on the table and groaned.

It took a few minutes before he said to Zhu Hecong: "Since you want to stay in the court as an official, then you can go to the Finance Department to be a squire under Chen Shangshu for the time being, how about it?" ”

Zhu Hecong knelt on the ground, "Weichen Zhu Hecong thanks Lord Longen!" ”

This was much more than he expected.

Shilang is Shangshu's deputy, and he can be regarded as a powerful official in the court. Not to mention such an important department as the finance department.

He never thought that the emperor would promote him like this.

was directly promoted from Xiao Huangmen to the waiter of the Finance Department, how many levels has he jumped!

Zhao Dongting nodded, "It's better to learn from Chen Shangshu, just don't let me down." ”

Then he looked at Zhu Haiwang again and asked, "Haiwang, if I send you to Dali, are you willing?" ”

Zhu Haiwang was slightly stunned, "Did the emperor let Weichen lead the army to attack Dali?" ”

Zhao Dongting shook his head with a smile, "No, now that Dali is empty, it is enough to think that the army of Commander Liu and others will destroy Dali." I plan to set up the Dali Military Region in Dali after I take Dali, and suppress those tribes in Dali for me. If you don't think Dali is remote, I would like to let you go to the Dali Military Region to be the first commander, what do you think? ”

Zhu Haiwang's eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy, and he quickly knelt down: "Weichen Zhu Haiwang thanks Lord Longen!" ”

Naturally, he was equally overjoyed.

Zhao Dongting's reward for him is no less than that of Zhu Hecong.

Although Dali is located in a remote area, as long as you can be a general in the army, what is it?

With Zhu Hecong to take care of him at home, Zhu Haiwang doesn't care where he works.

"Hmm."

Zhao Dongting was also happy when he saw that the two brothers were so satisfied, "Then I will let people issue an edict later, Hecong, you can work in the finance department tomorrow, and Haiwang will rest at home first." By the way, Ha Cong, you used to work in the finance department, so you will visit Chen Shangshu today, bring more courtesy, and learn more from him. ”

"Wechen knows."

Zhu Hecong hurriedly agreed.

Then, in a short time, the two brothers left the study with a smile on their faces.

Only Gonggong Liu and Zhao Dongting were left in the imperial study.

Gonggong Liu didn't ask Zhao Dongting anything, but he was also sighing in his heart, "The Zhu family is going to make a sensation in the court, and in a short time, the Zhu family will definitely become a new upstart in the court......

Although Zhao Dongting only temporarily named Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang as the squire of the Finance Department and the commander of the First Army of the Dali Military Region respectively, he has been waiting by Zhao Dongting's side for a long time, and he can also see that Zhao Dongting is laying out.

Chen Jianghan has passed the age of taking a back seat.

And in the army, there are many generals who are also the same.

In the future, how could the careers of Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang only stop at the squire and the military commander?

I just don't know if the emperor has the intention of letting the Zhu family rise and balance the forces in the court, such as the Su family, the Wen family, and the Lu family.

Zhao Dongting didn't say this, and Gonggong Liu didn't dare to ask more.

Before you know it, it's close to noon.

A eunuch hurriedly entered the imperial study with a letter and said to Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, there is a good news in Fuzhou." ”

Zhao Dongting, who was reading a book, immediately had a smile on his face, "It's finally here." ”

Then he got up and took Huang Hua's good news of Fuzhou from the eunuch.

From this, he also had an understanding of the whole process of the Battle of Fuzhou.

Generals such as Huang Hua, Gao Tianzong, and Che Hongyu are all people who have made great contributions. If there are Lu Yingcai, Liu Ximao, Kongzhu and others, they will inevitably be rewarded.

There was an idea that rose from Zhao Dongting's heart.
