Chapter 247: Reward
This Xu Huaiqing is not stupid at reading, his mind is full of pedantic bookishness, and he doesn't know how to be flexible at all. If this opportunity falls into their hands......
At this moment, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were jealous and pity looking at Xu Huaiqing.
Rao had so many burning eyes, but Xu Huaiqing didn't seem to feel it, and he didn't move. This attitude of not being humble or arrogant, and not rejoicing in great achievements, made the emperor appreciate it even more.
"Okay, then, according to what you said, I will reward the soldiers who went on this expedition for two months." The emperor immediately issued an order to reward the three armies.
"The soldiers have been rewarded, and Xu Aiqing's merits cannot be forgotten." The emperor looked at King Wei, "King Wei, tell me, how should I reward Xu Aiqing?" ”
King Wei thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Master Gu is old, and now Lord Xu is young and promising, why don't you appoint him to this position?" ”
King Wei's words caused a burst of whispers in the court. The position of the Hallym Scholar is extremely important, and in the past, only the longest-serving person in the Hallym Academy could occupy it. Now that Xu Huaiqing has been in the palace for less than a year, if the emperor really entitles him as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, it can be said that he has created a historical precedent.
At this moment, the gaze that fell on Xu Huaiqing abandoned pity, and only was full of jealousy. Look, this is different people's lives, even if someone pushes away the opportunity for promotion, someone else will hand the ladder to his feet. Like them, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky.
"Father, this must not be done." It is extremely important for the scholars of Hallym Academy to be in charge of confidentiality. How could the crown prince let Xu Huaiqing, who was biased towards the King of Wei, stand in such an important position, "Since ancient times, the scholars of the Hanling Academy have been resided by the longest-serving person in the Hanlin Academy. If the rules are broken, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the ministers. ”
"The prince's words are wrong." When King Wei heard this, he immediately retorted, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that capable people live in it. Now that Xu Huaiqing's ability is visible to the public, who will be dissatisfied with letting him take office? ”
As the leaders of the two factions, the dispute between the King of Wei and the crown prince soon turned into a dispute between the two factions. Too. The sub-party said no, but the people of the king of Wei insisted on supporting Xu Huaiqing.
"Okay, stop arguing." Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help frowning, and stopped the quarrel in the court, "I have made up my mind." Xu Aiqing has outstanding ability, and now she has made such a great achievement, even if she is promoted to the bachelor of Hanling Academy, there is nothing to do. ”
The emperor tried his best to disregard the public opinion. The resolute opposition of the sub-party designated Xu Huaiqing as the Hanlin Bachelor.
The prince gritted his teeth vigorously, although he was very unwilling in his heart, but in the face of the decision made by the emperor, he had no way to oppose it.
He glared at Xu Huaiqing viciously, his eyes full of warning.
Noticing the prince's eyes, Xu Huaiqing couldn't help but look pale. He knew very well that because he had spoken for the King of Wei before, he had already made the crown prince regard him as hostile. The meaning in his eyes was very clear, if he dared to stand in his way again, he would definitely take action against himself at all costs.
sighed helplessly, although Xu Huaiqing didn't want to be a head-on enemy with the prince now, but now he had to send an arrow. If the prince made a move, he would have to take it head-on.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the king of Wei took the initiative to find Xu Huaiqing.
"Huaiqing, you also saw it when you were facing up." King Wei pulled Xu Huaiqing into a secluded corner and said softly, "The prince has already regarded you as an enemy. You must be careful, the prince relies on his own power and can do anything. ”
Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing nodded and replied, "Thank you King Wei for reminding me, I know it in my heart." ”
King Wei originally wanted to take this opportunity to win over Xu Huaiqing to stand on his team. But he saw that Xu Huaiqing still didn't want to make a clear statement, so he had to sigh and give up for the time being.
On the other side, after the prince dispersed, he returned to the East Palace with a gloomy face.
For him, today is a disgrace in the court. Originally, King Wei's credit should be his, but because Xu Huaiqing was in the way, King Wei took the limelight.
What made the prince even more angry was that Xu Huaiqing had been in the palace for less than a year, and he was unusually promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor's Decree. In such an important position, not their own people.
The more the prince thought about it, the more angry he became, he picked up the teacup next to him and slammed it to the ground. The fine porcelain bowl was torn apart in an instant, and the light brown tea stains stained the corners of the robe, twisting and twisting like a water snake.
"It's really unreasonable, King Wei dares to steal my limelight, I will definitely not give up on this matter easily!"
The distraught prince seems to be able to calm down only by throwing things. He smashed the porcelain in the room one after another, and only then did he barely breathe out of his heart.
After the emperor dispersed the dynasty, he knew that the prince must be very dissatisfied with today's reward. This is also his intention, wanting to see if the prince can calm down.
Stretching out his hand to summon his henchman eunuch, the emperor instructed softly, "You go to the prince to keep an eye on it, and report to me the prince's words and deeds." Be careful, don't let the prince find out. ”
The confidant eunuch nodded again and again, and agreed, "The emperor can rest assured, the slave will live up to his holy order." ”
The eunuch, who had received the emperor's secret order, came to the East Palace, and heard the sound of throwing things from afar. From time to time, it was mixed with the prince's complaints.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the confidant eunuch, stupid, just this little bit, it is no wonder that he has occupied the name of a prince for many years, and he has not been able to completely gain a firm foothold.
Returning to the emperor's side, the confidant eunuch 1510 reported, "Your Majesty, the prince seems to be very dissatisfied with today's events. After he returned to the East Palace, he threw things and complained that King Wei had taken away the limelight from him. ”
Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help frowning. It was not unsurprising that the prince would be angry about this. But the emperor originally thought that he would not show it. Unexpectedly, the prince not only showed it, but also did not shy away from complaining about King Wei.
"You go and keep an eye on me, if the prince has any new movements, come back to me immediately." The emperor's face froze, and he ordered his henchmen and eunuchs to continue to monitor the crown prince.
The confidant eunuch agreed, took the order, and continued to pay attention to the prince's every move in front of the East Palace.
Like the emperor, the queen is also very concerned about the prince's affairs. After she heard about what happened in the court, she couldn't help but secretly blame the emperor in her heart.
The crown prince was born to her, and as the eldest son, he was supposed to put down the rebellion on the frontier. Unexpectedly, after listening to Xu Huaiqing's remarks, the emperor changed his mind and let King Wei go.
