Chapter 600: Crowned General
The emperor stood up from his seat, and then walked in front of the general Zhao Zhilong, "Aiqing quickly calm down, why are you so nervous, I said before, today's banquet is a celebration banquet for you, if you can't speak freely, but cower, then what's the point?" β
When Zhao Zhilong was helped up by the emperor, there was gratitude in his eyes, and then he said, "The emperor is wise, having a monarch like you is a blessing for us to be courtiers!" β
The emperor smiled, his old face was mixed with vicissitudes, but today he was obviously much gentler than usual, not only the chief eunuch Li Gonggong felt it, but even Concubine Yun and Concubine Zhu who were sitting on both sides of the emperor also felt it.
Without waiting for everyone to get up, the emperor issued another decree, "I originally wanted to wait for the envoy of the Pingyi Kingdom to come and talk about meritorious deeds, but I really like this Zou Vice General, so let you be a second-grade heroic general!" Enjoy the treatment of the DPRK and China! And the general Zhao Zhilong was named a super first-class general and rewarded with a knighthood! β
As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes widened, no one thought that the emperor would give Zou Shiyan such a big official position, and the general Zhao Zhilong has been famous for many years and is only a super general! The distance between the two was easy to catch up
"Thanksgiving!" Before everyone came back to their senses, Zou Shiyan's voice came, without flattery, without flattery, but there was a sincere emotion in it.
Just when everyone thought that Zou Shiyan would refuse, he did not refuse, but immediately knelt on the ground and agreed to be sealed.
General Zhao Zhilong also quickly thanked the lord Longen, although he was surprised by Zou Shiyan's reward, but he had no other emotions, he himself also admired Zou Shiyan, he knew that there was no chance before, and Zou Shiyan's official position did not allow him to do too many things, but now it is different, Zou Shiyan has become a second-grade general, with thousands of men and horses, and the right to speak also comes.
Zou Shiyan's pleasure made the emperor very useful, he didn't like his mother-in-law and mother, grinding courtiers, and most of the current courtiers are civil officials, civil officials like to be polite the most, but in the emperor's opinion, it is idle and panicked.
Zou Shiyan raised his head, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, when he was in the army before, his qualifications were low, no matter how much the general liked him, no matter how outstanding his military achievements were, he was constantly suppressed, but now it is different, the emperor's golden mouth, who can question it? Who can argue with that?
Lowering his head slightly, Zou Shiyan thought to himself, "I don't know if she can like the identity of this second-grade general?" The celebration feast ended quickly, and it didn't last too long, the emperor was old and didn't want to show fatigue in front of the courtiers, so he left early, and when he left, the others naturally couldn't stay.
Zou Shiyan was walking behind the general, and suddenly a voice stopped him, and the other generals also looked back, only to see a woman in palace clothes standing behind Zou Shiyan with a smile.
He turned around and asked softly, "Are you?" β
The woman in this palace is either a concubine or a princess, and this person is dressed very differently, and there is an unmarried bun on her head, as long as you think about it a little, you know that the person who comes must be a noble princess.
"Vice General Zou, no, now it's General Erpin, don't you remember me?" The fifth princess asked.
Zou Shiyan shook his head, of course he knew that this was the woman who disguised herself as a man and mixed into the barracks, but how could this kind of thing be said, firstly, it would be detrimental to the woman's reputation, and secondly, he was unwilling to have anything to do with this woman who was suspected of being a princess.
Seeing that Zou Shiyan really didn't remember herself, the fifth princess said in a hurry, "It's in the northwest......
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, it's better to think about it and talk about it!" Zou Shiyan interrupted suddenly.
The fifth princess realized that she had lost her words, and then she was a little happy in her heart, did the other party mean that she still recognized herself, otherwise how could she know that she was a princess at once, and in order to maintain her dignity and not let herself continue to speak!
She was happy in her heart, and she looked at Zou Shiyan with a smile in her eyes, but the concubine had no intention of having a lover, Zou Shiyan didn't go to see her at all, but turned around to leave.
The other soldiers looked at this scene, everyone was a man, the eyes of the five princesses were so obvious, how could they not see the meaning, but they didn't say it, they didn't say it, they just seemed to be smiling as watching a good show, and they were extremely envious of Zou Shiyan's peach blossom luck in their hearts.
"Hey, don't go, I'm not done yet!" The fifth princess was anxious and was about to step forward and pull Zou Shiyan's sleeve, but she was dodged by the latter's sensitive step back, she was angry in her heart, but it was not easy to show it, but there was resentment in her tone, "Why don't you listen to me!" β
Zou Shiyan took a few steps back, and then stood up, "First, I don't know Her Royal Highness the princess in Xia, and second, I have been married by the emperor, that is, a husband with a wife, and I can't get close to other women, this is disrespectful to my fiancΓ©e!" β
After saying this, the soldiers who watched the excitement on the side couldn't help but admire Zou Shiyan, they knew that since ancient times, their brains have been full of wives and concubines, especially for young and promising generals like him, and there are a large number of women who have followed one after another.
However, Zou Shi's nature of passing through the flowers without being trapped is still respected.
However, the women who like him will suffer, the fifth princess at this time is like this, I only feel that the grievances in my heart have nowhere to vent, I can only look at Zou Shiyan, tears are rolling in my eyes, I don't know who said that women's tears are the most powerful weapon, but it doesn't work here in Zou Shiyan.
No matter how pitiful the fifth princess became, Zou Shiyan just didn't say anything, turned around and was about to leave, which in the eyes of others, he didn't pity the jade at all.
And at this time, a voice came from not far away, "Fifth sister, what are you doing?" β
The fifth princess, who was originally about to pull Zou Shiyan to say a few more words, heard this annoying voice, and immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and then left in the other direction, Zou Shiyan turned around and left, leaving no room for anything.
The generals who followed behind shook their heads, it was really the same fate, even if they coaxed the girls again, it was better for Zou Shiyan to stand quietly like this.
