Next, there is the reward for meritorious service.

Zhao Yuanjing said that the biggest hero is Yun Dai, but Yun Dai is already the queen of the middle palace, and she has reached the top of the harem women, and there is nothing to canonize anymore.

If you say reward......

After half a year's consumption, the imperial treasury is very empty, and there are still many foreign debts, and there is no money to reward.

Zhao Yuanjing thought about it for a while, and gave Yun Dai's biological mother, Mingmin, who had already passed away, posthumously sealed the fate of Mrs. Yipin. and gave Gu Chengan and Gu Chengning, the brothers, the official position of the Dragon Guard.

This so-called Dragon Guard is not a specific official position, just a fictitious position, five grades. It can basically be counted as an honor.

But no matter what, with the official position of this dragon guard, he is also out of the identity of an ordinary merchant.

Since then, the Gu family is no longer a lowly merchant who is looked down upon.

No matter how huge and profitable the Yunji managed by the Gu brothers is. In terms of social status, after all, it is still a merchant who is looked down upon.

The emperor rewarded them, and the Gu family once again rose to the ranks of the Kyoto nobility.

This is to give Yun Dai face, and it is also because of the performance of the Gu brothers in this war.

When the Empress Dowager sent someone to Yunji to make trouble, the brothers resisted desperately and were both injured. Especially Gu Chengning's injury was serious, and he took a few months to get out of bed.

Every time the goods are transported to Saibei, Gu Chengan is busy coordinating from them, and from the year to the year, there is no day off.

He knew that the business was short of money, so he took out all the money he had saved in the past few years to fill it.

They can afford the fictitious duties of the two five-rank dragon guards.

When the holy decree arrived at Gu's house, Gu Chengan was still busy in the business, and hurried back when he heard the news.

The brothers took their wives and children to receive the holy decree, and they were a little confused.

None of them thought that there would be a day when they would return to the Shi clan in this life.

After sending off the eunuch who sent off the decree, the whole family hula came over and excitedly circled around the holy decree.

Gu Chengning held the holy decree and said, "This ...... Is it the queen who fought for us? ”

Gu Chengan stood up and said, "This is certain. If it weren't for the face of the mother, how would the court pay attention to us. ”

"Big brother, you say, does this mean that the queen has forgiven our family?" Gu Chengning asked.

"I don't know." Gu Chengan shook his head.

He used to be the most enthusiastic about fame and fortune, but now he is the calmest person in the family.

Not only is the appearance calm, but the heart is as calm as water.

He didn't care about that at all.

Every day he is busy in the business, he goes home to accompany his wife and children, as long as the mother in the palace is safe and the family is fine, he is already satisfied.

Standing at thirty and living again, he has found the true meaning of life.

If there is any regret, it is Yun Dai's sister.

Since she was a child, he has hurt her a lot, and even once agreed with his father's decision to drown her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't forgive himself, let alone ask Yun Dai to forgive himself.

He felt that Yun Dai was not the kind of person who would casually forgive her for hurting because he had done a little remedy.

Therefore, this holy decree, he is more inclined to think that this is a decision made by the emperor himself in order to please Yun Dai, and it has nothing to do with the queen mother in essence.

Gu Chengan didn't expect that he had guessed correctly.

However, Gu Chengning was more optimistic than him, he felt that this holy decree represented the beginning of the easing of the relationship between Yun Dai and the Gu family.

The brothers put the decree in the ancestral hall and offered it.
