Liu Yuying was named a princess and enjoyed the treatment of a prince, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

According to the royal system, princesses generally enjoy county treatment, even if they are favored by the emperor and sealed to the level of county public treatment, it is already rare.

However, Liu Yuying is an exception, when she was named the county lord, she already enjoyed the treatment of the county princess.

But in any case, it is normal to enjoy the treatment of the county prince, and after the crown prince ascends the throne, she will follow the promotion to the princess, and her treatment will also be promoted to a level and become a prince.

But now, before the crown prince ascended the throne, she was exceptionally crowned as a princess, plus the treatment of a prince, throughout the entire Han Dynasty, she was definitely the first.

The officials have made a small idea in their hearts, if they can let their children and grandchildren become concubines, the emperor loves the house and Wu, and the concubine family will definitely enjoy endless glory.

They began to search their stomachs, hoping to find the right age among their children and grandchildren, and then find an opportunity to propose marriage to the emperor.

But they were surprised to find that their bear children were not worthy of Liu Yuying in terms of martial arts cultivation, intelligence, and talent.

The main reason is that Liu Yuying's current status is too high, and the royal family pays attention to the right person, unless he is the prince of the vassal king, he can stand side by side.

However, the vassal kings are all surnamed Liu, and all of them are descendants of the royal family, so of course the family cannot be married.

Princes and princes?

No kidding, those guys will soon be stripped of their titles by the emperor, take away their fiefs, and be reduced to the point where they are inferior to even ordinary nobles.

As for the sons of the prince and the marquis, they are not worthy of lifting shoes for Liu Yuying, and they still want their families to marry, don't dream.

The crown prince was also shocked, and couldn't figure out why his father added the title of Zhu Zhu and held her to such a high position, how could he marry in the future?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Yunyang.

The sons and daughters of other families can't do it, but Ye Yunyang definitely can.

Unlike others, his title was earned by himself with a knife and a shot, rather than an inheritance, and the gold content was naturally much higher than theirs.

At the age of eighteen, he was already a county prince, and he was about to be knighted again, Ye Yunyang and Liu Yuying were definitely a match made in heaven.

But when the prince saw Dongfang Yixue, his heart was half cold, that kid already has a confidante, and the two are stronger than Jin, what should I do?

He shook his head, fortunately, his daughter is still young, and this matter can be discussed in the long run.

Liu Yuying knelt down and said to the emperor: "Thank you for the reward, long live the emperor." ”

Then, she lowered her voice and said to Ye Yunyang: "From today on, I will be a princess, you will call me a princess when you see me in the future, remember?"

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "The princess is amazing, when you were the county lord before, I never called you the county lord, I always called you the county lord, it was like this before, and it will be like this in the future, there will be no change." ”

"You!" Liu Yuying's arrogance suddenly half of it was discarded, it was no problem to put up music in front of others, but if you put music in front of Ye Yunyang, you must first be prepared to be teased by him, in general, it will definitely outweigh the losses.

The emperor asked Ye Yunyang to tell the process of the Nanban War in detail, and he spoke for more than two hours until the sun set.

Ye Yunyang originally wanted to go back to the temple and Fenglin to meet the senior brothers, but he was left by the emperor to eat together.

Just like last time, the huge dining room was full of delicacies, with the prince by his side and countless eunuchs and palace maids standing on both sides.

He really wanted to say, isn't it tiring to be an emperor after putting on such a big scene for a meal?

"Yun Yang, don't be restrained, don't be restrained by the prince, there are only three of us monarchs and ministers today, you let go of eating, don't talk about the usual rules. The Emperor said with a smile.

Ye Yunyang began to slander, so many eunuchs and palace maids watched, you are the emperor can ignore their existence, the crown prince is the future emperor, you can also ignore it, but I am just a courtier, if I also ignore it, it is estimated that tomorrow the excerpts of the Yushitai will be piled up into a hill.

The emperor was very polite, and from time to time he ordered someone to send a certain dish to Ye Yunyang.

I have to admit that the emperor has a vicious eye, and all the dishes sent over are Ye Yunyang's favorite food.

Ye Yunyang tried his best to restrain himself and maintain proper etiquette.

As the old saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief, and the emperor will not invite him to dinner for no reason, let alone show his favor in this way because he has won a battle.

Sure enough, halfway through the meal, the emperor said casually: "Yun Yang, you have won a great victory and made great achievements for the Han Dynasty, what kind of reward do you want?"

Finally got to the point, Ye Yunyang put down his chopsticks, and said: "This Nanban victory, it was the result of the concerted efforts of the soldiers, Weichen didn't make much effort, just took advantage of the trend, so he didn't dare to be greedy, let alone ask for a reward." ”

The emperor waved his hand: "Meritorious service is meritorious service, no need to be polite, I have always been rewarded for meritorious service, and punishment must be punished for mistakes, the military department has come to the conclusion that you are the first person to make meritorious contributions in this battle, if I don't reward you, how to convince 300,000 soldiers." ”

The prince said to the side: "Yun Yang, with your merits, you can be promoted to at least two levels in the title, and you can also be promoted to two levels in the official position, so it is the fourth level." ”

Ye Yun raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, the father and son sang and harmonized, on the surface, it was a tribute to it, but in fact, it must have something to refer to, especially the word "fourth-level", which came out of the prince's mouth, how to listen to it and feel harsh.

Long before he went to Nanban, he thought deeply about this problem, as long as he won the battle, he would inevitably be knighted.

However, he is now the sixth-ranked county prince, and if he is promoted two levels to the fourth-ranked national prince, the vassal king and the prince will never be awarded to people with different surnames, and there is only one county king left in the middle as a buffer, once he is named the county king again, he will not be sealed.

As a courtier, if the official is not sealed, it is estimated that death will not be far away, and the emperor will definitely not tolerate the existence of such a person.

He had already heard the deep meaning in the words of the emperor's father and son, and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty Longen last time, he made an exception to promote Weichen from the county prince to the county prince, so that the ministers can't help but be honestly afraid. As for the official position, Weichen is still young, he has not graduated from the Guozijian, and he can't go to the post after being promoted, so he won't become a corpse vegetarian meal, so I ask Your Majesty to withdraw the idea of reward. ”

The Emperor and the Crown Prince glanced at each other, and both nodded lightly at the same time.

Obviously, Ye Yunyang's character of knowing how to advance and retreat made them feel very satisfied.

However, the more you don't want to give a reward, but it makes the father and son feel unhappy, the emperor said: "One yard to one yard, last time is the last time, you can't mix it with the credit in front of you, I still say the same thing, if you don't reward it, it will make the soldiers of the three armies chill, and then suspect that the reward for them is also shrinking, you won't let them scold me for being mediocre, right?"

The prince "came up with an idea" and said: "One insists on being sealed, and the other insists on not accepting, so it's better to take a compromise opinion, Yunyang's title is promoted to the marquis, and the official position is promoted to the head of the military department of the sixth grade." Because there are many people in charge of the position, there is no need to be on duty every day, Yun Yang doesn't even need to go to the Yamen to order Mao, when there is a major military incident, he can come over temporarily to participate, what does his father think?"

The emperor nodded: "Sounds good, but will the six-rank official be a little lower?"

Ye Yunyang hurriedly said: "It's not low, it's two levels higher than the respect of a county, Weichen is very satisfied, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, I don't have to go to the duty of the Prince, anyway, they are all idle positions, the officials are the same, and the officials are big and the officials are laughable." ”

The emperor showed a pleased smile on his face and said: "Since Yun Yang himself has no opinion, then let's do it, the crown prince, you are personally responsible for the reward, you must be fair and just, and no soldier should be treated unfairly." ”

The prince said: "Obey." ”

Ye Yunyang figured it out, it turned out that the emperor invited him to dinner to discuss the reward, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and guessed the thoughts of the father and son, if it was just a stupid thanksgiving, it would naturally be okay for the title and official position to be promoted two levels in a row, but they would definitely be suspicious and even wary of it in the future.

During this time, Liu Yuying's cliché behavior had already made him afraid, and it was difficult to say how deep the suspicion of the emperor and the crown prince was, so he had to be careful at every step, so as not to capsize in the gutter.

Walking out of the palace, he found himself covered in cold sweat on his back.

No wonder people always say that a companion is like a tiger, the truth!

Back at the temple, Huo Hong, Qin Wei, Qu Pingyuan, Wu Qinglin and others were there, and he greeted his senior brothers one by one.

Zheng Zhiyuan took advantage of the time when he did not come back to give a detailed account of what happened in Nanban.

The senior brothers all congratulated the junior brother on his victorious return, but because of the previous incident, Ye Yunyang couldn't be happy at all.

At the same time, the emperor and the crown prince went to Liu Yuying's dormitory together.

The little girl was not surprised by the arrival of the two, and before they could speak, she let the maids and eunuchs all go down, and no one was allowed to approach.

The prince was the first to ask: "What has been found during this time?"

Liu Yuying knew what he was referring to, shook his head and said, "No evidence has been found, Ye Yunyang's background is very clean. ”

The prince frowned: "Are you sure?"

She nodded and said solemnly: "Sister Dongfang doesn't know, he should have nothing to do with the ghost-faced horse, but the evidence that suspects him doesn't seem to be groundless strictly speaking."

The emperor also frowned: "Is Dongfang Yixue's words credible?"

The little girl blushed and said, "They...... Already...... has already performed the gift of Zhou Gong, and I believe that Yun Yang will not hide it from Sister Dongfang. ”

The prince raised his eyebrows, but he swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.

The emperor nodded lightly: "In this case, Dongfang Yixue's credibility is still relatively high." From the beginning, I suspected that this was a conspiracy, not only to drive a wedge between Yun Yang and the Great Han, but also to make the ghost-faced colt also fall into trouble, but I didn't know who the people behind it were mainly targeting. ”

Liu Yuying said: "Yunyang Pingnanshan and Nanban are enough to prove their loyalty to the Han and the emperor's grandfather, I think that before this matter is ironclad, it is not appropriate to suspect him easily, let alone alienate him." ”

The Emperor smiled, and his granddaughter's opinion was exactly what he had in mind.
