Chapter 553: Merit and Demerit 6
"If you know your mistakes, you will change them, this is a good person... But..."As soon as Emperor Xia Wudi's words changed, Jing Yan's heart was cold, and sweat immediately broke out of his spine.
"Yan Wang thief chaos, is the fault of the imperial power, think that the world is the dragon in the world, proud of thousands of miles, but I don't know that the power is greedy, greedy in the heart, the heart is the root of life... If someone doesn't even want a root, I'm afraid that life and death will be instant..."
Hearing the rebuke and vigilance in Emperor Xiawu's words, Jing Yan knocked his head on the ground, not daring to move the slightest, before that, Jing Yan's close slave replied that Emperor Xia Wu had long been aware of the suspicion that when the Yan thieves invaded the city, Jing Yan's overstepping authority and deploying troops was suspicious, and now, Jing Yan seemed to be chatting with Emperor Xia Wudi's hall, but in fact, he was guilty of standing up and being beaten up, if Emperor Xia Wu was confused for a while, his heart palpitated and praised the king's behavior, and he was punished for a crime, it would be terrifying, and since ancient times, the emperor's power struggle, Lao Tzu killed his son is not a few, Jing Yan didn't dare to bet on his head.
In the face of Emperor Xia Wu's self-care, Jing Yan's heart was rolling, he only promised and did not dare to have the slightest disrespect, and when Emperor Xia Wudi's words fell, Jing Yan kowtowed and thanked him, as for the details, Jing Yan didn't hear it clearly at all, but as long as he made Emperor Xia Wu feel comfortable, it would be enough!
"That's it... This sin is the cause of the military disaster, and it is remembered that you are loyal to your father and loyal to your country, and your sin is put on hold, and then you will go to the Zongren Mansion to settle down, and now you are serving aside, and you will summon the heroes of this battle with me! ”
Hearing this, Jing Yan let out a sigh of relief and asked Hou Xie to retreat, and after a while, Lin Xiu and Zhang Qi came in.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
The two knelt on the ground and sang in unison, and Emperor Xia Wu smiled lightly and waved his hand: "You and other young generals, with you here, it is really a blessing for Great Xia!" ”
"The last general is ordered by grace to come to defend against the thief, it is really his duty!"
Zhang Qi and Lin Xiu finished speaking, Emperor Xia Wu stroked his beard and nodded, and Huang An on the side hurriedly asked the little eunuch to take a seat for him.
Emperor Xia Wu's eyes were attentive, and he lingered in front of the two of them for a few breaths, only seeing Zhang Qi and Lin Xiu panicked in his heart, but the people of imperial power had such a high status, even if Lin Xiu and Zhang Qi had knives under their arms, the two of them had to endure it, and about a moment later, several eunuchs came to the court with a set of copper plates.
Seeing this, Huang An accepted the copper plate, placed it in front of Emperor Xia Wu, and asked the eunuch to retreat and wait by himself, as for the items on the copper plate, Lin Xiu had already seen from the afterglow, the left plate was a set of armor, the middle plate was the holy decree, and the right copper plate was the blade, except for the holy decree edict, the armor and the blade were all used by the generals, but Lin Xiu was already beating a drum in his heart at this time, at the beginning, a tiger stripe Qingyue knife almost killed him, and now... He was a loyal general in his young years, and he had already aroused the eyes of some people, and if he dared to accept the high courtesy again, he was afraid that he would fall into the quagmire of the whirlpool.
"Lin Xiu, the first emperor once met you in front of the stage in the palace guard's martial arts, and gave you the name of Bei'an General... Is there such a thing? ”
Emperor Xia Wu suddenly spoke, Lin Xiu was confused, and failed to react, such an embarrassed appearance caused Emperor Xia Wu to laugh in a low voice, Lin Xiu didn't know why, and quickly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the subordinate is a reckless person, he is stupid for a while, and he can't understand the meaning of His Majesty's words, please forgive Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha... Righteous people are like that... No problem..."
Emperor Xia Wu skipped this stubble casually, but compared to Zhang Qi on the side, Lin Xiu was obviously wrong.
After a burst of laughter, Emperor Xia Wu looked at Jing Yan, Jing Yan hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Lin Xiu, and said: "General Lin, you are here to wait thousands of miles to help your father and king destroy the traitors, the merit is great, the glory is high, these two military things, both of them will be rewarded to you!" ”
When the words fell, Huang An handed the armor to Jing Yan, Jing Yan put it to Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu looked at the golden silk wolf pattern armor and the silver sheath prison dragon knife, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The last general thanks Your Majesty for your grace!" It's just that the last general has been awarded the title of Zhongwu General before, and he has long been grateful to Dade, and now he is rewarded again, but in his heart, the last general implores His Majesty to withdraw the reward and reward it to other meritorious generals, and the last general will swear to the sky, be loyal to our emperor, defend Daxia, and swear to the death! ”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xia Wudi's complexion changed slightly, but after an instant, Emperor Xia Wu smiled and said: "Lin Zhongyi, worthy of being a loyal and righteous person, since you don't need such an armor blade, remember your hard work to save the driver, whatever you want, you can tell me Yan, I will satisfy you!" ”
"Your Majesty's love, there will be no way to repay it, only to smear the liver and brain, and serve Daxia with flesh and blood!"
Lin Xiu said that his face turned red for a while, Jing Yan spoke from the side, paving a step for Lin Xiu: "General Lin is loyal and righteous, Xiao Wang admires, the current situation in Northern Xinjiang is worrying, the civil strife in the Northern Barbarians, and the same is true for Donglin, General Lin can have ideas to develop the prestige of the Liaoyuan Army back then!" ”
Yuwang Jingyan pulled the topic to the outside world, originally thinking of diverting Emperor Xiawu's attention slightly, but Zhang Qi was unsuccessful, how could Emperor Xia Wu not put aside another elite cavalry general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, so Emperor Xia Wu turned to Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi bowed, although the words were flattering, but Zhang Qi would really say, only the mood of Emperor Xia Wu was happy, and then, Emperor Xia Wu ordered Huang An to read out the seal book, Lin Xiu because of Zhang Qi's words before, so he did not dare to receive the reward again, only added the title of Duke of Bei'an County, and received a copper fish bag, as for Zhang Qi, jumped from the general of the local army to the military department of the central capital, Ren Shangshuling, and the young eunuch of the Shaofu and the general Mingwei of the Xishan Daying, which only made Zhang Qile's heart bloom.
A moment later, the two of them were sealed, and Lin Xiu and Zhang Qi left the Moon Hall under the leadership of Huang An.
Walking to the exit of the courtyard, Zhang Qi said to Lin Xiu: "Zhong Yi, if you take the armor blade, what will be the consequences?" ”
"What?"
Looking at Zhang Qi's thoughtful face, Lin Xiu's mind was uncertain, he didn't know whether Emperor Xia Wu rewarded him or was jealous of him, but even if he was jealous, he didn't do anything wrong, besides, how could he, a young general in a barren land in northern Xinjiang, arouse the suspicion of the supreme position?
"Since the emperor has been crowned with a blade, it is nothing more than a commander to lead the army, and now you have received the honor of being awarded only for the merit of galloping, if Qin Yu is to such a noble family, there is still a turnover or two, but you are only a businessman, once you accept it, you will be hated, Zhong Yi, the foolish brother advises you, Zhongdu... It's really not the place for you to stay, so hurry back to the northern frontier, or else... Sooner or later, you will be swept into the quagmire of the world! ”
After that, Zhang Qi left, Lin Xiu's eyebrows were as heavy as a river, and in the end, he could only turn around and go back to the camp.
"Your Highness, did General Nalin really refuse His Majesty's reward today?"
Ren Kai asked Wang Jingyan in a low voice, Jing Yan nodded, and Ren Kai shook his head suddenly: "Alas... Lin Zhongyi... Loyalty, but has invisibly fallen into His Majesty's jealousy pool, this is not a good sign! ”
