Chapter 345: Gifts
Lin Yan is the top talent of the young generation of the Lin family, so his words and deeds and even his every move will affect the face of the entire family.
The defeat this time was so bad, Lin Yan's fundamental ability was also questioned by the family elders, and after returning to Beijing this time, he might have to spend a period of time reading books behind closed doors.
Then Lin Yan issued a series of orders, if any of the surrendered soldiers of Qingcang Kingdom were willing to go back, each of them would receive ten taels of silver for the journey.
If you are willing to stay and serve the Fuyang Kingdom, you will take off your robe and weapons in your hands from now on, and go to the countryside to farm, and each person will be rewarded with two catties of zombie seeds, and every two people will be rewarded with a cow.
The harvest of the first three years is all their own income, and after the expiration of the period, they will be exchanged with the court of Fuyang Kingdom according to the proportion of Panax notoginseng powder, and the other seven layers of the harvest will be used by themselves.
Generally speaking, such orders are issued by the emperor, but the generals are not subject to foreign military orders, and Lin Yan is the highest authority here, so all military orders are regarded by him.
After ordering everything, Lin Yan rode alone and slowly returned to the camp of the Fuyang Army.
Before I knew it, half a month had passed, and Xing Tianze stood on top of the court, like other ministers, quietly standing in place waiting for the emperor's order.
"There is a book, nothing to retreat!" A eunuch slowly stood up and announced loudly.
In the past, the court of Xingzhao was extraordinarily quiet, and there were no changes in officials, and even the previous political discord and mutual impeachment had not happened.
Xing Tianze did not have any derailment after holding a heavy army, neither lavishly feasting the ministers nor attacking any officials who supported the emperor.
However, a smarter official can still see the problem involved, because Lord Liu's righteous son, Chen Gongzi, is still in the prison cell of the county government and has not been released, and the fifth prince has also sent someone to detain him, so no one can get close, let alone find a way to get him out.
Based on this alone, almost half of the officials knew very well that Xing Tianze did not have any idea of giving up, but did not want to make extraneous branches at this juncture, so that the emperor and others would feel that he would become unpopular after his high achievements.
"The emperor Fuyang has envoys who will rush to the capital tomorrow, saying that the king of Fuyang is grateful for the victory of the five princes over the Qingcang Kingdom this time, thus relieving them of their embarrassment, so he specially sent someone to loosen the thin gift to show his heart." Then the lord took a letter from his sleeve and gave it to a eunuch, who then handed it to the emperor.
After the emperor glanced at the contents of the gift list, he couldn't help laughing and said slowly: "The monarch of Fuyang really has a heart, and he specially gave the fifth child a gift?" ”
All the ministers laughed after hearing this, but Xing Tianze was the only one with his head down, not only did he not have any joy on his face, but he frowned slightly.
The exchanges between countries have always been directly resolved by the emperor, or sent envoys to worship with gifts, but there has never been an emperor of that empire to express his gratitude to the prince of another empire and send people to give gifts.
Fuyang Guojun's action is nothing more than directly ignoring the existence of Emperor Xingzhaoguo, indicating that in his eyes, Xing Tianze's role is higher than that of the emperor.
No matter how precious the gift released by Fuyang Guo was this time, once it reached Xing Tianze's hands, it was not much different from a hot potato.
"Old Five, I think this is the intention of the monarch of Fuyang, you should accept it." The emperor's gaze was firmly fixed on Xing Tianze, and there was no displeasure in his eyes and face.
"The emperor is sage, but the younger brother thinks that I led the troops to resist the enemies of other countries, all for the welfare of the people of the Xingzhao country, and also for the emperor's worries, so the younger brother of the minister never dared to have any overstepping, so these gifts should all be handed over to the emperor to deal with." Xing Tianze's tone was extremely firm, and he pushed this potato away at the first time.
"Then you really failed the heart of the monarch of Fuyang." The emperor smiled slightly, paused for a moment before speaking again: "But I can't accept the gifts that people give you on your behalf, so I will make a decision for you to put these things into the treasury, and if there is any major disaster in the country in the future, I will take them out in your name." ”
As soon as the emperor exited, the entire Jinluan Hall became noisy, although they didn't know how much the gift from Fuyang Kingdom was, although the emperor did not say the amount on the surface, but since it could be used for disaster relief for Xingzhao Kingdom, it was obviously a huge amount of material.
This made the confusion in Xing Tianze's eyes thicken, and he couldn't understand what Fuyang Guojun meant at all, as if he wanted the contradiction between himself and the emperor to rise again.
The early dynasty ended in such a hurry, and after returning to the imperial study, the emperor kicked directly on the table, and the objects placed on the table were immediately scattered everywhere.
"I actually took out so many things, it seems that Fuyang Kingdom is really rich." The emperor's chest rose and fell, and his eyes were full of thought.
However, he quickly understood: "Since you want the fisherman to profit, then I will naturally not follow your wishes, and the Nuoda Xingzhao Kingdom still needs the fifth child to defend it for me." ”
More than an hour later, when Xing Tianze had just returned to the study, Tao Mingxi suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at him with straight eyes, like a hungry wolf suddenly falling in love with a piece of fat.
"Xi'er, why are you looking at this king with such eyes?" Even Xing Tianze, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but start to furl in his heart under Tao Mingxi's gaze.
"Did the prince receive a big gift today? Such a large fortune can be given to the concubine a little. Tao Mingxi seemed to have come out of the money eye at the moment.
Xing Tianze couldn't help but wonder a little when he heard this, but when he saw a letter on the table that was exactly the same as the gift sheet sent by Fuyang Kingdom, he immediately understood.
"30,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels of silver, plus 8,000 horses, 3,000 horses of silk and satin, plus 100,000 stones of grain and grass, so many things Fuyang Kingdom is really a big deal." After Xing Tianze read the gift list, even as the fifth prince, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Traceless shrugged his shoulders helplessly, here Fuyang Kingdom doesn't want Xing Zhaoguo to experience any disasters, nor does he want Qingcang Kingdom to experience any battles between monarchs and ministers, plus the wind and rain are smooth, so the development is still thriving, and after all, it is Fuyang Guojun who sends too few things, it will inevitably make people think that he is a child, so it is natural to take out so much.
