Chapter 869: Reward
"I have appointed Lin Yi to receive the envoys, so you Aiqing don't have to worry about this matter."
"But the emperor, General Lin is a military general, and he has never had the experience of receiving foreign ministers, so why don't you choose another person to help?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Do you have the right person in mind?" ”
"Yang Yan, the son of Yang Taishi, has traveled all over the world and knows a lot about various customs and customs, and the minister thinks he is the right person."
Yang Taishi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said that his son was just a small businessman, how could he take on such a big responsibility, and asked the emperor to take back his fate.
"I remember that Yang Aiqing has a son and a daughter, right?"
Yang Taishi nodded yes, saying that his daughter often entered the palace to accompany the queen, and the emperor had also seen it at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before.
The emperor remembered that Yang Qiong danced at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, which was indeed not bad, but the later Lu Cancan and Lin Yi were too amazing, so it was easy for people to forget Yang Qiong.
"Your Majesty, Yang Gongzi has a good reputation in the capital, and the minister thinks that Yang Gongzi will not be the second choice for this matter."
Others also seconded the proposal, saying that Yang Yan was the most suitable.
"Since everyone has said so, then I will appoint Yang Yan as the special envoy of Dayan, responsible for assisting Yi'er, by the way, since Yang Taishi's daughter is also the queen's niece, then it will be the same as Lu Cancan, and he will be named the county lord, as for the title, it will be called Huihe."
The county lord of Huihe, there was also a county lord of Huihe in the previous dynasty, but this county lord was known for being polite and docile, and had a good reputation, and after her death, the emperor also authorized her to return to the royal mausoleum.
However, Yang Qiong and the county lord's temperament are not similar at all, and using this name to give Yang Qiong a title will make people feel a little ironic.
But the county lord is the county lord, no matter what, the emperor's decree has come down, and Yang Qiong will be able to sit on an equal footing with Lu Cancan.
"Thank you, Emperor Longen."
Yang Qiong and Yang Yan both received official positions and rewards, and many people who were good friends with the Yang family came to congratulate them, blocking the Yang family, which was much more beautiful than when Lu Cancan was named the county lord before.
Yang Qiong was very happy holding the county lord's court clothes, and now that he is also the county lord, Lu Cancan will not be able to show off his power in front of him in the future.
What she is happy in her heart is that she doesn't like her title very much, how unfortunate is the title of a dead person.
"Qiong'er, you are now the county lord of the emperor, you must pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, and don't lose the face of the Yang family."
"Yes, father."
Yang Qiong said this, but she had already begun to imagine how energetic she would be if she wore the county lord's court clothes.
The news that a pair of children of the Yang family had been rewarded by the emperor reached the ears of Concubine Shu, and Cuihe said that it seemed that the queen was going to be angry again.
"But no, she is the queen in the end, the emperor sealed Lu Cancan before, and it is only a matter of time before Yang Qiong is sealed, otherwise where will the queen's face go."
Those ministers were just speculating about the emperor's intentions, and they were just adding a Yang Taishi to give him a favor.
"Lu Cancan and Yang Qiong are not from the royal family, and they have sealed two county lords of the opposite sex at once, and the emperor is also doing this to win over the courtiers."
Although Concubine Shu is in the harem, she is not an ignorant woman.
Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if she doesn't know what happened in the previous dynasty, it is difficult for her to guess the emperor's thoughts, the emperor is often worried about state affairs, and at this time, she needs to share her worries for the emperor, only in this way can the emperor feel that he understands him.
The queen doesn't understand this truth, she is smart, but men like women who know everything in their hearts but want to pretend to be stupid.
Concubine Shu asked Cuihe to send some gifts to the Yang Mansion, even if she didn't deal with the queen, she couldn't fall into other people's mouths.
"Sure enough, I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to be this time."
Lu Cancan was playing chess with Gu Moxi, the situation on the chessboard was stalemate, the black and white sides were deadlocked, and it was impossible to see who lost and who won.
She has long known that it is impossible for the emperor to only crown herself as a county lord, Yang Qiong is the queen's niece, if the emperor didn't let her go to check the enclosure, I am afraid that Yang Qiong should be sealed before herself.
"I know you don't care about that."
"I don't care, I just think the wind above the court is changing too quickly."
A few days ago, the Lu family was still in the city, even if they were closed, there were still many people who came to give gifts all day long, and now Yang Qiong has also been named the county lord, and those who give gifts have gone to Yang's mansion, but it is rare to be so quiet.
Gu Moxi dropped a piece on the chessboard, tearing the situation apart, and Lu Cancan's sunspot became precarious.
She held the chess piece and frowned and thought carefully, and finally landed a shot in the corner.
This game of chess looks like Lu Cancan is going to lose, although her chess skills are not bad, but she and Gu Moxi must be a bit of a trick.
As long as Gu Moxi ate her piece of sunspot, Lu Cancan would lose, but Gu Moxi bypassed that piece and landed a chess piece in another place.
"You deliberately let me do this, it's not interesting to win." Every time I play chess with Gu Moxi, it's like this, even if I lose, Gu Moxi will let myself.
Gu Moxi smiled, he knew that Lu Cancan was a girl with a strong desire to win, if losing a game of chess could make her happy, what did it matter.
"Forget it, it's not interesting."
Always losing to Gu Moxi, Lu Cancan felt that his nerves were going to be numb.
"Tomorrow is the day when the envoys of the Jin State enter the city, and the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace, and you will also participate in it at that time." Yang Qiong, who had just been named the county lord, would also go with him.
Although I don't know if Yang Qiong will find trouble with Lu Cancan tomorrow, the state banquet is a place where no jokes can be made, and if there is any mistake, it will make Dayan lose his heavenly demeanor, so even if Yang Qiong provokes, Lu Cancan must try to be patient.
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
She'll focus on the big things.
Gu Moxi put away the chess pieces, and seemed to have something to say to Lu Cancan, but in the end he just sighed softly.
"The weather has been getting cold recently, remember to ask the maid to bring a hand stove when you go to the palace."
"Well, you also remember to ask the housekeeper to add clothes to you, there is a good fox fur in Lin Yi's mansion that I got when I hunted a few years ago, I will help you come and make a cloak for you when I go back."
Although he has no love for Gu Moxi, Lu Cancan has always felt guilty for Gu Moxi in his heart and loves him as a brother.
Gu Moxi smiled, then Lin Yi must be willing to cut his love.
During this time, both himself and Lin Yi will be very busy, and they may not have much time to visit Lu Cancan.
