Chapter 420: The Waiter
"Agula, whether it is a civil fight or a martial fight, you have lost to my Great Xia, it stands to reason that my Great Xia can completely reject the national credentials submitted by your Beihu, however, my Great Xia is a big country, except for the matter of harmony, a few other things, you can sit down and negotiate slowly, and you don't have to use the situation of Wenzheng and martial arts to reflect the strength of your Beihu or my Great Xia. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" After Xia Qi heard Jiang Tawei's acknowledgment of Shen Yan's strength, a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was the victorious.
Of course, in the emperor's mind, Shen Yan's victory is his own victory, if there is no appreciation and promotion by himself, there will be no rise of Shen Yan, so all this has nothing to do with Shen Yan, it is precisely because of Xia Qi's unique eyes that Shen Yan was promoted exceptionally, and Shen Yan's performance today will be achieved.
"Your Majesty, regarding the friendship between the two states, you can indeed sit down and discuss it slowly." A trace of sadness appeared in Agula's eyes, he originally wanted to add some chips to his showdown through the way of cultural and martial arts, who knows, this chip made himself lose completely, but it also dragged Batur to lose so many wolf horses at once, this time the trip to Daxia was really dumb and ate coptis, and I couldn't say what I was suffering from.
"Qiu Mubai, from tomorrow onwards, with you as the mainstay, Tong Yanbian and Ma Zhanxin as supplements, discuss the friendship between the two states with Agula, the national teacher of Beihu." When Xia Qi heard Agula's words, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he commanded Qiu Mubai and the others who were not far away.
"Wechen obeys." Hearing Xia Qi's command, a complicated look appeared in the eyes of Qiu Mubai and the others, and they responded loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today my Great Xia and Beihu have gone through a civil and military battle, which once again proves that my Great Xia is a great country, and there are many talents in the court." When Xia Qi said this, a hearty smile appeared in his eyes, and he glanced indifferently at the ministers on the high platform, and then said slowly.
"My Great Xia can achieve such a big victory this time, the biggest hero is Shen Yan, I have always been rewarded for meritorious service, and punished for mistakes, you can tell me about Shen Yan's great contribution this time, how should I reward him?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Shen has already held four positions, and if you reward him again, you will break the convention." Hearing the emperor's words, Ma Zhanxin, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly had a bad thought in his eyes, at this time, Shen Yan must not be allowed to go further, otherwise, with Shen Yan's qualifications and age, it is already a privilege to be ranked in the court, and he must not take a step further, therefore, Ma Zhanxin said without hesitation.
"Breaking the mold? Didn't my appointment of Shen Yan break the convention? Hearing Ma Zhanxin's words, Xia Qi's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and with a hint of dissatisfaction, he said slowly.
"Your Majesty, it is already a great challenge to hold the fifth rank and hold four positions according to Lord Shen's age, if you rashly promote your official position, Weichen is worried that many senior officials will be unconvinced." Hubu Shangshu Tong Yanbian had the opportunity to stop Shen Yan from going further, of course, it was an unremitting persuasion.
"Qualifications and age, doesn't Aiqing think that when she reaches a certain age, she must achieve a certain position when she has a certain age, could it be that Aiqing doesn't know that Ganluo is twelve years old." Hearing Tong Yanbian's words, a trace of disappointment appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, these courtiers only thought about their own interests, but forgot who gave them his benefits.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter should be discussed tomorrow morning, this is not a place for deliberations after all." Qiu Mubai wanted to say two good words for Shen Yan in his heart and let Shen Yan go further, but at the same time, he didn't want Shen Yan to climb so fast, climbing fast meant that he was likely to fall fast, so a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes and said slowly.
"Since Qiu Aiqing said so, then you should think about it after you go back, how I should reward Shen Yan, if you don't reward it, it means that the Buddha means that you have made meritorious contributions in the future, and I don't need to reward it." Hearing Qiu Mubai's words, a trace of inexplicable emotion appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, as the head of a country, of course I can reward Shen Yan willfully, however, promoting Shen Yan too quickly is really a bit of a sprout.
Although these courtiers are full of charm and evil deeds in their hearts, their insights on some things are still very unique, and it is precisely because of this that Xia Qi will let the courtiers suggest how to reward Shen Yan this time, otherwise, with Xia Qi's style, he will definitely reward Shen Yan directly without going through the courtiers.
"Although it is said that Shen Yan's reward will be discussed tomorrow morning, but, as a meritorious hero, I can't say nothing at all, the old eighteen will come over." When Xia Qi said this, a strange look appeared in his eyes, he pondered slightly, and then a touch of firmness appeared on his face, and he said loudly.
"I don't know what my father and emperor have to call my sons." When he heard his father's call, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes, thinking that his father wanted to ask him how to reward Shen Yan, and he was still thinking about how to say it, but his father's next words made all the countermeasures in Xia Yuanxu's mind useless.
"Old eighteen, I have been neglecting to discipline you all these years, and you are not too young, you can no longer act mischiefly by your temperament, it is time to cultivate yourself well, study more and learn more about the art of war, so that you can truly serve your father and emperor in the future, do you understand?" Xia Qi saw Xia Yuanxu's sincere and frightened expression, a trace of strange emotion appeared in his eyes for the first time, stared at Xia Yuanxu for a while, took a breath lightly, and then said slowly.
"Erchen thanks his father's teachings, Erchen must change his past mistakes after today, read more, practice martial arts more, read more military books, and serve his father as soon as possible." Xia Yuanxu heard his father's words, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes, his father had never cared about himself like this over the years, even if he had slightly changed his impression in his father's mind under Shen Yan's suggestion during this time, it would not change so quickly, what happened to his father today.
"I originally wanted to select a few old and knowledgeable people from the court to be your academic teachers, or choose Yao Fuzi to take this position, however, you have been too absurd over the years, and it is a bit overkill to let these learned people be your teachers, so I have been thinking about how to solve this matter all this time." Xia Qi didn't know what Xia Yuanxu was thinking, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Xia Yuanxu, and said slowly.
"However, after today's literary and martial arts battles, I feel that Shen Yan is very suitable to be your attendant, let Shen Yan help you improve your knowledge first, and when you have laid this foundation, I will select a few more knowledgeable and senior ministers to be your teachers." Xia Qi said this, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Didn't you courtiers stop me from rewarding Shen Yan, Cheng, I will give you face and not mention the reward, but I will link the reward to Shen Yan with the old eighteen, you have nothing to say. Hmph, without Shen Yan's outstanding performance, how could I win so beautifully in Daxia today, relying on you courtiers, let alone martial arts, didn't you all answer the three questions of Wendou, so at the critical moment, Shen Yan is still reliable.
