144 Two Lands
Chen Xi couldn't sit still, he got up and thanked him: "When the son opened the mansion, my father had already rewarded nearly 1,000 hectares of fertile land in Gyeonggi, Shaanxi and other places. Although Xiao'er was loved by his father, his sons were afraid that he would be too favored and would fold his blessings...... Why don't you ask your father to give him some mascots such as wishful wishes and longevity locks, so that you can borrow your father's blessings and bless him to grow up safely. ”
The words were very sincere, which made Shoufu Gao Chen admire. Originally, there was a prince like Chen Xi in the court, who won the emperor's favor, which was a sign of chaos. However, judging him as a person, advancing and retreating appropriately, and acting appropriately, it is really a blessing for the country.
"You're too cautious!" Chen Yuantai was a little unhappy, as if he was an ordinary father, and when he saw that his son was too presumptuous, he wanted to reprimand him. But if you see your son being cautious, you feel sorry for him.
"Can't the eldest grandson of the emperor still receive two imperial villages?" Chen Yuantai's gaze swept over the ministers in the study one by one, and asked, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”
Among the remaining six people, Li He and Shen Yao, the head of the household, are Chen Xi's in-laws, and Xu Xing has always been very close to Chen Xi. Although Zhou Shuyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Chen, the first assistant, have no contact with Chen Xi on weekdays, Chen Yuantai expressed his thoughts so clearly, the sea has been up and down for decades, how could these two who have become extremely human ministers refute the emperor's face?
"The minister thinks that this is the emperor's love for the younger generation, and there is nothing wrong with it." Gao Chen said with a smile, "But what King Jin said just now also makes sense, after all, the emperor's eldest grandson is still young, so it is better to compromise ......."
The words not only responded to Chen Yuantai's proposal, but also left room for improvement. lest Chen Yuantai say the reward later, it is too shocking to the world, and it will be like lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
Li He didn't think so, the imperial court had just recovered Jiangnan, although it was not all borderless land, but it was really easy to carve out a large area from Jiangnan. For example, the imperial village in Qian Hao's hands, such as the property of each family in the Qian royal family, I am afraid that thousands of acres can be squeezed out.
"It's easy to say here," Li He said with a smile, "Although it is not easy to vacate land in the Gyeonggi region, if the emperor does not dislike the remoteness of the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to seal the emperor's eldest grandson's imperial village over there." Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and it is a wonderful place......"
As soon as he said this, the rest of the people figured out the trick and seconded it. Although An Guogong couldn't get used to seeing a saint like Chen Xi, Chen Yuantai's reward was not taken out of his pocket, so he had no objection.
"Jiangnan is really good," Chen Yuantai said with a smile, Li He's proposal coincided with his arrangements for Chen Xi in the future, and he was very happy in his heart, "Two imperial villages, one hundred hectares." The household department surveyed the place, and after the measurement was completed, it was reported to me to see. ”
"Yes." Li He bowed down to receive the order.
One hundred acres is 10,000 acres, and a little baby gets 20,000 acres of land for nothing, although it is not amazingly much, but it is definitely not less.
Chen Xi was about to say something more, but Chen Yuantai changed the topic again: "Although Qian Hao is not educated, I don't want to let the world say that I don't have the virtue of forgiveness because he is alone, and the title always rewards him." Who else came to the capital with him? ”
Xu Xing took out a list from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. "Most of the side branches of the Qian clan stayed in Jiangnan. The lineage, starting from Qian Hao's grandfather's generation, all arrived in the capital. At that time, the officials above the second rank in his court also arrived. ”
"It doesn't matter if these people are anything, they can go to the ministry to report, and if there are suitable vacancies, they can also be hired. The only ones who need to be rewarded are Qian Hao, his wife He, two sons, and Qian Hao's sister, Princess Changle. ”
Chen Yuantai's index finger swept over the list one by one, and finally landed on the name of Princess Changle.
"Qian's, named Changle, the sister of Qian Hao's mother, whose name is Yulan, was born in September of the year of Guiwei, is eighteen years old, and has not yet allowed relatives."
Chen Yuantai looked at the two words of Yulan steadily, and suddenly wanted to meet this legendary princess with unparalleled beauty.
"The emperor's ......" Seeing that Chen Yuantai was stunned, Zhou Shuyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, called lightly, "How to reward the lord of the vassal country for surrendering, there is no precedent in my Great Yan Dynasty." The minister thought that he could choose one of the marquis and the earl, and his wife and son could be positioned with Qian Hao's title. As for Qian Hao's sister, the minister thought that the title of the county lord was enough. ”
Chen Yuantai came to his senses, nodded, and said, "Then let the Ministry of Rites draw up two corresponding titles, and they will be awarded when the palace banquet is held in two days." ”
*
Five days later, at the lively full moon ceremony of the emperor's eldest grandson, Chen Yuantai's reward to the Jin king Chen Xinanzheng was sent to the Jin king's mansion together with the congratulatory gift of the emperor's eldest grandson.
After reading out the two holy decrees, the prince said to Du Mingxin with a smile: "The emperor wants to see the emperor's eldest grandson very much, and he also asks the princess to bring the emperor's eldest grandson during the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet." ”
"Yes." Du Mingxin replied with a smile, but he was very embarrassed in his heart. Such a small child, and the rules in the palace are so big......
"Princess, please rest assured," the princess said with a smile, "The emperor will definitely make arrangements." ”
"Yes, I'm overthinking." Du Ming smiled apologetically, and handed a heavy purse to the prince's hand, "Today is a good day for Brother Kun, and the prince is also happy." ”
"Then the old slave is welcome." The prince accepted it quietly.
"Father-in-law and I went over for two drinks? There's no one you don't know! Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness," the prince smiled, his regretful expression was in place, "The old slave is still waiting to go back to his life, and he will bother the prince another day." ”
After sending off the prince, Chen Xi took people to offer the two holy decrees on the incense table in the ancestral hall, and Du Mingxin went back to the inner courtyard to accompany the female relatives who came to congratulate today.
"You are also a literate person, let me ask you, have you ever heard that there is a twenty-year-old who became the governor of the Zuo Capital of the Five Armies?"
"Yes, right...... It's just that it's not like King Jin, who earned it by virtue of his military exploits. ”
"Have you seen all those imperial gifts? I counted, and there were nine pairs of longevity locks alone! Gold, jade, inlaid treasures, everything! ”
"What is this rare? The top of the sky is only a thousand taels of silver. The two pieces of land in the south of the Yangtze River are valuable, such a large plot of land is all high-quality fields, and there are two big Zhuangzi connected together. I heard my father-in-law say that it was because Qin Tian calculated that the emperor's eldest grandson was short of land, and the emperor remembered to give it to him......"
"Uh-huh, I've heard that too! Those two Zhuangzi are both the imperial houses of the former lord of Wu Yue! ”
Du Mingxin gestured to Xia Ye with his eyes, Xia Ye understood, deliberately relaxed his steps, and said with a smile: "This begonia is blooming very well, but Li Gongzi is still clamoring to come over and repair it......"
