Chapter 368: Cai Jing who won back a city
"Yes!"
"The ministers lost their honor, and asked the officials and the queen saint to atone for their sins!"
Cai Jing, Cai Qian and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they all smiled happily.
Although Song Huizong only gave 50,000 horses, he robbed Jiang Chen of the credit, which made them all very happy.
Moreover, in their opinion, 50,000 forbidden troops were enough to deal with the outcasts in Fangla. Because neither Zhu Mian's secret music nor Ying Andao dared to tell them the truth!
If they knew that Fang La's army had now exceeded 400,000, they were afraid that they would have given up on Zhu Mian completely long ago!
However, Jiang Chen, a latecomer, knows it.
So he didn't think that Song Yanqing and Xin Xingzhong could change the battle situation in the past, and when he saw Cai Jing's proud appearance, he couldn't help but sneer secretly:
"Laugh! I'll see how long you can laugh! It's okay for Song Yanqing and Xin Xingzhong, the two diehards of Tong Guan, to go to Jiangnan, and when they quell the chaos and unfavorably, I just happened to destroy them together by the way, saving me trouble in the future!"
As he was thinking like this, Cai Qian suddenly asked with a mocking smile, "Jiang Chen, I don't know when you can prepare the grain and grass?"
"Lord Cai, don't worry, the lower officials will prepare overnight, and it will be transported to the household department early tomorrow morning, and it will definitely not delay the army's journey!"
Jiang Chen smiled, unable to see the slightest loss or unhappiness.
"If so, it would be the best!"
Cai Qian looked surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to cooperate so happily.
Cai Jing, Wang Hao and the others were stunned when they saw that Jiang Chen's expression and eyes did not seem to be fake.
Mei Zhili, Li Gang, Chen Cisheng and others nodded appreciatively at Jiang Chen, thinking that this was definitely a loyal minister who would not abolish the CCP for personal reasons.
Song Huizong's idea was even stronger, in order to make up for Jiang Chen's "loss", he looked at Jiang Chen with appreciation and said: "Liangchen is talented and virtuous, and he has meritorious deeds in offering treasures.
(The court Feng Dafu was the official rank of the fifth rank of the official, and the Song Dynasty stipulated that only officials above the fourth rank could wear purple clothes and goldfish bags.)
In many cases, the goldfish bag is an important item that can indicate the status of the official in general with the official seal. "Those who wear purple are dressed in gold, and those who wear scarlet are dressed in silver" comes from this.
Therefore, Song Huizong's reward seems arbitrary, but in fact, it greatly elevates Jiang Chen's status. )
If it were a different time, Cai Jing and the others would definitely oppose it en masse, and they would definitely not allow Song Huizong to elevate Jiang Chen like this.
But they had just snatched Jiang Chen's opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and at the same time, they had just taken the grain and grass that Jiang Chen had just gotten in their hands to leave, so they really couldn't open their mouths, so they could only look at Jiang Chen with a depressed face and thank him happily.
Even happier than Jiang Chen was Zhang Yueniang.
It was the first time she had seen her own officials at ease in front of Song Huizong and the ministers, talking and laughing, and it was the first time she intuitively realized Jiang Chen's important role in the court.
This made Zhang Yueniang can't help but feel a sense of pride, and her beautiful eyes lit up when she looked at Jiang Chen!
When Zhu Fengying saw it, she chuckled and teased, "Sister, we all know that you have found a good gentleman. But haven't you seen enough at home every day?"
Hmm-
Zhang Yueniang immediately made a big red face.
Zhu Lian slapped Zhu Fengying with a smile, picked up the teacup and said to Zhang Yueniang and Ju Huan, "Congratulations to Lord Xijiang for being promoted again! My little sister is here to congratulate the two sisters with tea instead of wine!"
"The slave family also respects you."
Bai Wan'er also picked up the teacup, with a happy face.
Seeing this, Zhao Fujin, the first beauty of the royal family, Mao De Emperor, who was not far away, glanced at her incomparably attractive red lips and muttered, "Such a great opportunity for meritorious service has been snatched away by someone for nothing, what is there to be happy about?"
She is very upset for Jiang Chen!
When Liu Guifei heard this, she observed Jiang Chen's expression and shook her head slightly, "The battle between the court and the court is weird, and the success or failure is by no means as simple as you seem on the surface."
"Huh? What does the mother mean by this?" Zhao Fujin looked at Concubine Liu Guifei with a puzzled expression.
"You don't need to
Know that!"
I hope you'll never need to know that!
Liu Guifei took Zhao Fujin's little hand with a look of pity.
At this moment, Song Huizong returned to the seat on the high platform, first looked at the huge dragon scale stone with satisfaction, and then said to Jiang Chen expectantly:
"Liangchen, the Yunxiu spinning machine you just presented can be called today's first birthday gift! But I don't know which of the so-called glass mirrors is better or worse than this strange stone?"
"I can't guarantee which disciple the master likes, but the master definitely likes the glass mirror more than the strange stone."
As Jiang Chen spoke, he directly ordered Liu Yuancheng and Yang Zaixing to bring up the gifts.
Seeing that the thing he was carrying was still covered with a red silk cloth, Cai Yan couldn't help but pout his lips and said disdainfully, "Isn't it just a mirror? Is it so mysterious?"
"That's it!"
Bai Shizhong, Wang Hanzhi and others immediately curry favor and agreed.
Although they had never seen the glass mirror, after the news of Jiang Chen's assassination spread in the afternoon, they also knew the beauty of the glass mirror, first surprised, and then felt that it was just a well-dressed thing, not worth mentioning at all.
However, the nobles in the palace are very curious about this thing.
Empress Zheng looked at the gifts brought to her, and couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, as a woman, especially a stunning woman who was as beautiful as a flower, she really couldn't resist the temptation of the glass mirror.
Therefore, after Jiang Chen handed over the golden scissors, she directly cut off the big red flowers on the ribbon used to bind the red cloth.
Bang Bang –
As the big red flower fell on the plate, the red silk fell in response.
Unveiled to the public is a beautiful glass dressing table and a large wardrobe inlaid with floor-to-ceiling glass mirrors on both sides.
"Oh my God!"
"This ...... This is the glass mirror?"
"It's unbelievable!"
Empress Zheng's face is full of surprise!
"yes, how can you shine so delicately on people?"
"It's the first time I've seen myself so real!"
Wang Guifei and Empress Dowager Liu looked at the individual's incomparably clear and stunning appearance in the mirror, and their beautiful eyes were also shining, revealing a strong and incomparably possessive desire.
Song Huizong even ran over to look back and forth in the mirror when he saw Hunting Xinxi, and nodded very smugly, stinky to death.
Jiang Chen secretly felt a moment of disdain when he saw it, but he still stepped forward and gently pulled the wardrobe door.
"Hey, there are two big mirrors in there?"
"Oh my God, it's so beautiful!"
The nobles of the harem were excited and their eyes were hot.
Jiang Chen pulled Song Huizong to stand between the two wardrobe doors and said, "Master, if you stand here, you can see your back through the reflection."
"Really?"
Song Huizong tried it according to his words, and immediately said excitedly, "It's true! I actually saw the back of my head, and it was amazing and funny!"
As he spoke, he pulled Empress Zheng and said, "Queen, you can try it too."
