In October of the fourth year of Chengwu, the holy decree finally came to the Dingjun Marquis's Mansion.

Because of the champion general, Dingjun Hou, Hedong Xuanfu made Zhao Zhuguo capture the important land in Hedong, pacified the merit of Beihu, Jin Zhao Shi was the Duke of Xingguo, and sealed one hundred and fifty households, and the fierce tiger Wu Shengjun, the military power of the Hedong tribes, and the grassland was attached to the tribe......

and a number of two days, a quantity of gold and silver, and a guard of honor, and so on.

It seems that the reward this time is not too rich, at least it is not very commensurate with Zhao Shi's merits, although the Duke of Jin, but the Duke of Xingguo, no matter how you look at it, is a virtual lord, the fief is actually still in Gongyi County, as for the military power, it seems that there is not much change, and there are even restrictions.

Those who don't understand are likely to have bad thoughts when they hear this, but those who understand know that this is to leave room for advancement in the next year's war.

The war will be fought together in the coming year, and when the general returns to the court again, then it will be the time for the real reward.

In fact, it is true, when Zhao Shi led the army to conquer Taiyuan and fell into Datong, the imperial court had already made meritorious moves, during which the emperor gave Zhao Shi the title of Guogong twice, and before he reached the middle book, he was blocked by Li Pu and Wang Daocun, who were under the same door.

It's still that reason, it's still that reason, the merit is rewarded to the subordinates, and there should be measure, in fact, I am still afraid that it will come later, and there is nothing to seal.

Emperor Chengwu was as good as a stream, and then discussed again, but then he slowed down, because of the merit of conquering Hedong, how could he compare with the peaceful destruction of Western Xia? Since the general Zhao Shi has such a mind, it can be later to talk about merit......

His Majesty the Emperor was not in a hurry, and Li Pu and the others naturally settled down, and it was inevitable that the general Zhao Shi would be crowned the official of the country. The meritorious service of supporting the establishment was promoted to the first-class military marquis. Plus the feats on the battle line. After crossing this hurdle, no one has any objections, but in the past few decades, the first prince of Great Qin has not been able to seal it too much.

It is best to wait until the merits of all the generals are revealed, and then reward them generously to show honor, which is the right reason.

It doesn't take much longer. Today's Great Qin, compared with more than ten years ago, has already had a lot of dignitaries, and it is conceivable that there will be more in the future.

Except for the twenty-four meritorious heroes on the Lingyan Pavilion, except for one Grandmaster County King, the others are all national princes, and Great Qin is still far behind.

So, whether it is Emperor Chengwu or Li Pu. I was embarrassed to tell Zhao Shi about this, I just said that it was a big reward.

Zhao Shi is nothing here. In addition to the official name of a country, he did not want to hand over the military power of Hedong, and he also served as the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, thinking that this was compensation.

Like him, who also served as the Xuanfu envoy of a place, he was actually a festival envoy, and then he was able to lead troops to fight in the northwest, which was unique in the Great Qin Dynasty.

Fame and fortune to his part, more and less, it is really nothing.

After receiving the holy decree, it is time to enter the palace to face the holy thanksgiving.

Out of the mansion, Zhao Shi saw that someone was already changing the plaque of the Junhou Mansion, and a few shiny big characters in the Xingguo Mansion would soon be hung up, and the mansion behind him was already in a state of jubilation.

The first Guogong Mansion in Beijing, there is no way not to be happy, and before the New Year, there is such a happy event in the house, and the rewards of the people must be a lot, and naturally everyone is happy.

Thinking of walking on the street in the future, mentioning that it is from the Guogong Mansion, it must be enviable, and the waist bar is a few points higher than the subordinates from other mansions in Beijing.

The most indispensable thing in Chang'an is the high-ranking family, the faint comparison between the people and the contest between the lords of the family is actually almost the same, the gap drawn by the status of the official is everywhere, but the competition between the people is mostly a battle of will, and it is more direct.

For example, when you go to the colorful jade workshop where people and snakes are mixed, you can often hear everyone report to their homes, which family and which house I came from, after comparison, the official is low, most of the time will immediately leave in disgrace, or come up to stammer, the winner is arrogant, the pride is overflowing, and the vanity of the people will be greatly satisfied at this time.

And the signboard of the Guogong Mansion is undoubtedly more dazzling than the Dingjun Marquis Mansion, although the people who came out of the Dingjun Marquis Mansion no one dared to provoke them lightly in Beijing, but it is not as good as the Guogong Mansion It is shocking to listen to.

Zhao Shi naturally ignored these, and followed the eunuch who passed the decree, left the mansion and went straight to the palace.

The eunuch who came to deliver the decree was in his forties, with a doughy face, always with a flattering smile, and kept saying good things along the way.

Zhao Shi responded to the story in vain, he had never seen this person before, but he could go to his mansion to deliver the decree, and he should also be a useful person around the emperor in the palace.

is different from what he thought at the beginning, for these eunuchs in the palace, he no longer has the heart to make friends.

These eunuchs don't have much power, and they take a lot of risks to befriend them, but the help they get is also pitiful, and if they are not right, they may be bitten back, and Xu Chun at the beginning is an example.

Therefore, in the prison of Dali Temple, he did not hesitate to get rid of this person, which is a trouble.

However, even if he didn't talk to this person very carefully, he also learned from his mouth that His Majesty the Emperor had already set up a banquet in the palace, and the Empress Dowager might want to leave him for dinner.

In other words, this day has passed in the palace, and it is likely that he will have to stay in the forbidden place of the palace at night.

Hearing this, Zhao Shi couldn't help but think of the time when he stayed in the palace and met Princess Jingjia by chance.

It seems that his official rank here is getting higher and higher, and the reputation of the princess's mansion is getting bigger and bigger, but the hope of marrying Her Royal Highness the princess openly is getting slimmer and slimmer.

It is much more difficult to marry the aunt of the Emperor than it is to marry the sister of the Emperor.

Every time, once it comes to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Emperor Chengwu always pretends to be confused, and most of them talk about his nonsense.

Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to have an extra uncle for no reason, and he is becoming more and more generous to the eldest princess's mansion, there is a relationship between Zhao Shi and maybe guilt, who can say clearly.

But in this way, the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor is very obvious, he doesn't care about Zhao Shi and the eldest princess Jingjia, but he must not mention it on the surface, and even if there is an extra righteous girl from the princess's mansion, the reaction in the palace is indifferent.

It doesn't matter if you're an illegitimate child or something, you didn't make a fuss anyway, so you admit it.

Zhao Shi has repeatedly mentioned it to His Majesty the Emperor, but most of them have been persuaded by Princess Jingjia herself, needless to say, Zhao Shi can also understand, but a person like him has an affair with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? He didn't have a sense of conquest or excitement, and he didn't feel comfortable thinking about it......

As he spoke, the palace gate was already in sight.

Walking through the long palace gate and road, the palace hall and pavilion appear in front of you one by one, after a winter snow, wrapped in silver, magnificent, a little more elegant.

The palace people came and went, with smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere of the New Year was already very strong.

The construction of the palace hall, at the beginning of Emperor Chengwu's accession to the throne, most of them stopped, more than three years have passed, the emperor has concentrated on political affairs, and a show girl has not been selected, and most of the people in the palace are still the old people.

However, it is no secret that His Majesty is disgusted with the people around the first emperor, and now, from top to bottom, the changes in personnel are a little more drastic than those in the court.

There are many upstarts in the palace, and the concubines left by Emperor Jing are some of the people who have the worst circumstances, and most of them have been driven to the Xishan nunnery to guard the mausoleum.

Those who were not very honest at the beginning, there were many violent deaths, and the rest all went to the cold palace and lived a miserable life, on this, Emperor Chengwu's means were not the slightest warmth.

However, to Zhao Shi's feeling, the palace is still the same as usual, the young and lively palace maids and eunuchs saw the living, and they all avoided quietly like cats, but they were still looking at the visitors with curious eyes.

The difference is that occasionally I encounter one or two noble people's cars, ask a question, and they all hide on the side of the road, and a group of people swagger by, between the car curtains, often open a trace, some people sigh outward, and vaguely hear the sound of whispering.

Instead of meeting the nobles in the palace like at the beginning, most of them had to be avoided, and he had to come forward to salute or something, as soon as the name of the champion general came out, there was no need for those superfluous etiquettes.

However, as he walked, Zhao Shi felt that something was wrong, and this was not the direction of Qianyuan Hall at all.

The footsteps stopped slightly, and he glanced at the eunuch who led the way with some confusion.

The eunuch who had been accompanying him immediately smiled and said: "Grandpa Guo, the banquet set up by His Royal Highness in Yichun Palace, looking at this day, I have been waiting for some time, and I also ask Grandpa Guo to move, otherwise it will be inappropriate to let Your Majesty wait for a long time." ”

Zhao Shi's footsteps sped up a few points, but the words of Yichun Hall flashed in his mind, and his face suddenly changed.

Frowning, he couldn't help asking: "After a few years outside, I remember a little unclear, the Yichun Hall that my father-in-law said, but where Shen Cairen lived at the beginning?" ”

"Grandpa Guo has a good memory, and it is the ...... The place where the nobles lived was just vacant, and because it was built there well, he was interested, and he always had to go around, and it was not considered vacant. ”

Zhao Shi sighed, and didn't say anything more, the residence of Emperor Jing's favorite concubine has become the place where His Majesty is distracted today? That's kind of interesting...... Now the Shen clan in Shuzhong is very valued by His Majesty today......

(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for praise, today I received a call from a friend, saying that the water is over, ask if it has been washed in, no matter what, Acao is very pleased, friends have not been in touch for a long time, hearing the water, the first one can still think of you, it's really not easy.)
