Chapter 188: Striving for Merit

Seeing Qin Shaofu walking in front of Taiwei Qin Tianen like this, the faces of the officials behind him changed slightly, it was rumored that the relationship between the Qin family and the Qin family was not good, it seems that what he said is true.

However, Qin Tianen did not show any displeasure, his face was indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with him.

The main hall that entered stood well, and the civil and military officials stood in a column.

This time, Qin Shaofu relented, and followed behind Huangfu Changqing unhurriedly, not standing with anyone else.

After waiting for a while, I heard a shout from the palace people, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty appeared brightly, walked to the dragon chair and sat down.

"Join Your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials bowed and saluted.

After the ceremony, Huangfu Guangming waved his hand casually: "Xuan." ”

Immediately, someone from the palace stepped forward and opened the holy decree to read: "In the battle of Jiuding City in Northern Xinjiang, Dingyuan Bo Qin Shaofu commanded meritorious, breaking the barbarian siege ......"

A string of words came down, for the overview of the battle of Jiuding City, and praised Qin Shaofu's achievements in breaking the enemy.

"Feng Qin Shaofu is the Marquis of Dingyuan, and he will be rewarded with 3,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, and ...... reward."

A reward is an enviable amount. Especially the promotion to the Marquis of Dingyuan, it is even more jealous.

After the reading of the holy decree, Qin Shaofu stepped forward and was about to thank him, when a person suddenly walked out of the ranks of civil officials, bowed to the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Minister Tan Wenyuan has something to do." ”

Qin Shaofu frowned suddenly, Tan Wenyuan, one of the ministers of imperial history, he also knew. People in this position, as long as they open their mouths in the court, will definitely not be good. There is no doubt that this person must have come out at this time, and he must have been directed at himself.

Huangfu Guangming looked at him with an expressionless face, and after a while he spoke: "Say!"

The brightness of the emperor in the court is completely different from the brightness of the emperor at the family banquet.

At the family banquet, he smiled and smiled, just like his own parents, and led to what he wanted to say through talking and laughing.

And the emperor in the court is bright, he is the emperor, he is not surprised, he is not angry, he is not arrogant, people can't see what he thinks in his heart, but it can make people fearful.

After Tan Wenyuan bowed three times, he spoke again: "In the battle of Jiuding City, Dingyuan Bo beheaded tens of thousands of enemies, and the credit was great, which is undeniable. Danchen also heard that in this battle, Dingyuan Bo used the soldiers and people of Jiuding City as bait to establish such a great achievement. ”

"A military general should be to defend the country and protect the people. Soldiers throw their heads and spill their blood, and every time there is a major event, they repay it with their lives, and they should be people who are favored by the country. ”

"But Uncle Yuan, for the sake of meritorious service, did not hesitate to kill innocents indiscriminately and slaughter the people. Even though there is merit, it is even greater. Please also ask Your Majesty to withdraw the reward and punish it again. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the entire hall, no one made a sound, and the eyes of the courtiers continued to shift on Qin Tianen and Qin Shaofu.

Tan Wenyuan said that he was a speech official and a supervisor, but he also had an identity as a student of Qin Tianen, the imperial lieutenant.

This impeachment is not so much Tan Wenyuan's meaning, but Qin Tianen's meaning.

The Qin family was infighting...... Whatever the consequences, there is no doubt that this is what His Majesty the Emperor would like to see.

No one spoke, and neither did Qin Shaofu, who was impeached. He knew very well what the outcome of this matter would be, and it was not something he could decide, nor could Qin Tianen decide.

The person who really makes the decision really sits on it, and he says that the reward is the reward, and he says that the punishment is the punishment.

Money, Officials, Power...... These are things that some people think are important, and he doesn't value them.

It's not that he has a good mind, but because no matter who he is, after seeing Zhang Qiyu, seeing Jiang Yan, and living with them for a while, he will not care about these things.

If you think of yourself as a true martial artist, the pursuit of immortal path is the most correct goal.

If you can become an immortal in the world, let alone a Your Majesty the Emperor, it is not a matter to turn the Great Han Dynasty and even the entire Eastern Wilderness over.

It's a pity that Huangfu Guangming didn't want him to withdraw from the world, so he looked unhappy or angry, and said, "Uncle Dingyuan, do you have anything to say?"

Qin Shaofu stepped forward and saluted, smiling slightly: "The first thing the minister wants to explain is that in the battle of Jiuding City, I only had 10,000 soldiers and horses in my hands, and the people in the city let them leave on their own before the war, and the last one left should only be 10,000." ”

"In the end, when the war ended, there were still 8,000 soldiers and civilians left in Jiuding City. That is, a total of 12,000 people died. At that time, there were more than 150,000 enemies besieging the city, and there were about 150,000 waiting behind to replace them at any time. ”

Then he looked at Qin Tianen and the generals behind him and said loudly: "I don't look down on many generals and elders, I just want to ask here, if this war were replaced by you, who would dare to say that there would be more than eight thousand people who survived in the end?"

A cadre of generals is speechless, 20,000 against 300,000, and most of them are recruits, and it is already a miracle that this war can be won.

Qin Tianen said unhurriedly: "How many people were still in the city at that time, there is no accurate number yet. 20,000 to 300,000, although it is indeed unbelievable, but it can indeed be done. It is precisely because you have done it, so today you only have to talk about meritorious deeds and punishments, otherwise you should take it directly and go to prison. ”

Tan Wenyuan also hurriedly said: "Exactly, Weichen did not deny the merits of Uncle Dingyuan, but just felt that using his own soldiers and people as bait was really a heinous crime. If you don't punish it, it will be the sorrow of the fallen soldiers and the pain of the people!"

"What a soldier's sorrow!"

Qin Shaofu suddenly laughed: "It's not just the soldiers who are sad, in my opinion, the generals and soldiers in the world are all sad and stupid. What kind of soldier should you be, learn from the imperial history to read at home, find a way to worship the ministers, and then rise to prominence. ”

"First, you don't need to fight, second, you don't need to plough the fields, and third, you don't need to do business in the sun and rain. Lord Yushi, who can't sit in your position, and what use do you have for the Great Han Dynasty?"

"You...... You ......" Tan Wenyuan couldn't say anything.

Qin Shaofu snorted coldly: "Of course, if Lord Yushi has the heart to serve the country, there is still a chance." According to intelligence, the armies of the far northern orcs will arrive in the next few years. Why don't you go to live in my Jiuding City and work together to resist the enemy?"

"Accurate!"

Before Tan Wenyuan could speak, Huangfu Guangming suddenly opened his mouth.

The word "quasi" instantly stunned everyone, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Qin Shaofu was also stunned, and then understood. His Majesty the Emperor clearly rewarded himself, but in fact he wanted to declare his great achievements. This Tan Wenyuan didn't say anything, he only said it, isn't he slapping him in the face, but he doesn't know how to punish him.

Chrysostom said that Tan Wenyuan, who knew the bright temper of the emperor, couldn't even say words begging for mercy, so he sat on the ground with his face as white as earth.
