Shi Min returned triumphantly with tens of thousands of troops who conquered the north, such a big victory, even if Shi Hu, the king of Great Zhao, did not go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, he should also go out of the city to greet him.

However, what Shi Min and the generals never expected was that in the team that went out of the city to greet him, there was no figure of Shi Hu, if the king was in poor health, he would naturally have the prince to greet him, but the crux of the problem was that the prince Shi Xuan disdained to deal with Shi Min, so he couldn't see anyone, and the last person to go out of the city to greet him was Shi Tao, who was the captain and the Duke of Qin?

What's the situation?

Qin Mu is now Shi Min's confidant and adviser, and when he saw this, he immediately whispered to Shi Min: "Lord, things have changed. Be careful. ”

"Yes."

Shi Min nodded, and then drove his horse forward, only about ten steps away from the greeting procession of the ministers led by Shi Tao, and then dismounted, and Qin Gong Shi Tao then greeted him with a smile.

"Shi Min has seen Lord Taiwei!"

"Hahahaha! Thorn slaves don't have to be polite! ”

Shi Tao eagerly held Shi Min's arms, looked at Shi Min again, and bowed slightly: "Well, I have lost some weight than before the expedition, but I look more heroic and heroic!" Thorn slave, you fought really beautifully in the first battle of the Northern Expedition! Since our Zhao Kingdom destroyed Western Zhao, there has never been such a big victory! ”

"Your Highness has a good reputation." Shi Min also greeted him with a smile and said, "Xianbei people are just chickens and dogs, as long as you find the right fighter, it is not difficult to defeat them." ”

Hearing this, Shi Tao did not reply immediately, but looked left and right for a while, and then whispered to Shi Min: "Thorn slave, my father wants you to go to Jianzhang Palace immediately after returning to the city." ”

Noodles? Shi Min was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thorn slave knows." Your Highness, I just don't know why the king summoned me alone? ”

The father did not say it explicitly. Thinking that you have won such a great victory and returned triumphantly, there should be no unhappiness in my father's heart. The only possibility is because of Lan Mei's ......"

Princess Shilan of Changping? What did this woman do with it? Shi Min was confused.

Circling this, Shi Min still said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me." ”

"Hahahaha, thorn slave, you're too polite. You and I are uncles and nephews, and we may not have been very eager in the past, but in the future, I will invite you to walk around the lonely house! Shi Tao said with a smile.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Shi Min nodded and said, "In a few days, the thorn slave will definitely visit His Highness's mansion, if there is any disturbance, please bear with Your Highness!" ”

After a few more greetings with Shi Tao, Shi Min then stepped on his mount, the red horse Zhulong, and without saying a word, he walked towards Jianzhang Palace, all the way to the dust.

Shi Min entered the Jianzhang Palace, and after passing the transmission, he entered the royal road step by step under the guidance of an attendant, and directly entered the place where Shi Hu usually deals with government affairs.

What is completely different from the usual is that there is no laughter and laughter of the concubines here, and there is no rest of the palace maids and chamberlains, and in this huge palace, there is only a figure like a jackal, tiger and leopard, sitting there in danger.

"Chen Shi Min, meet the king!" Shi Min didn't say a word, and paid homage to Shi Hu, who was sitting on a high seat.

Shi Min was reborn, grew up under the red flag, and has always been influenced by the idea that people are born equal, and naturally does not like to kneel to others.

But this kind of thing seemed extremely normal in ancient times!

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, these are all objects that can make you kneel and worship, without exception.

If Shi Min doesn't want to be out of step with this era, learn to bow down, this is still an entry-level level.

"I'm back." Shi Hu's voice was very low, like the roar of a jackal, and it sounded rather hoarse.

Shi Min didn't answer, but knelt there like this.

"Get up."

"King Xie!" Shi Min immediately bowed down and stood under His Majesty's platform.

Shi Hu scanned Shi Min's body with a sharp gaze, as sharp as an eagle's eye, as if an eagle was staring at his prey, and Shi Min was the prey in Shi Hu's eyes.

"Thorn slave, do you know why I didn't go out of the city to greet me?"

"The minister is dull, please make it clear to the king!"

"Hehe, if you are stupid, then there will be no smart people in the world!" Shi Hu waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you the truth." It was Shi Lan's girl who came to sue me. ”

"You're such a good husband! I never expected that my daughter, Princess Shi Lanxia of Changping, would marry you, and you would treat her like this and wronged her. Shi Lan told me, you two have been married for so long, and you haven't had sex yet? What kind of system is this!? ”

"Panic!" Shi Min knelt down again.

"You don't need to panic! Thorn slave, tell me, what's wrong with Shi Lan? I know that her temperament is indeed a little savage, but I don't believe that you, an invincible general who is invincible and can be tamed even by Xianbei people, can't even tame his own wife? Shi Hu's face was cloudy.

Hearing the three keywords of "Xianbei people", Shi Min suddenly realized that why Shi Hu reprimanded himself so much was just to take the opportunity to knock on himself.

Seeing that Shi Min was silent, Shi Hu said again: "Thorn slave, your wives Dong and Cui are already pregnant, you may not know this, right?" ”

"This ......" Shi Min really didn't know.

Affection Shi Lan, this woman, is to see that Shi Min's other two women are pregnant, but she doesn't even have the opportunity to share a bed with Shi Min, how can Shi Lan, who has always been a lady of the sky, stand it?

Therefore, it is understandable for Shi Lan to go to the palace to sue Shi Hu.

"I'll leave that at that."

Shi Hu put on a smiling face again and said, "Thorn slave, you fought extremely well in the battle of conquering the country!" Since our Great Zhao Kingdom destroyed Western Zhao, I don't know how long it has been since we achieved such a great victory. Say, what reward do you want this time? ”

"It's all up to the king's favor!"

"Here we go again, here we go!" Shi Hu brushed his sleeves with a displeased face and said, "Thorn slave, I see that you are also a person who kills decisively and does things resolutely, why are you so prevaricated in these rewards?" If you are an ordinary general, you don't know how to ask for merit and reward in front of me! I look at you, I have read too many Han poetry books, and I have learned like those sour and rotten Confucian students. ”

When Shi Min heard this, he smiled wryly.

Shi Hu said: "Thorn slave, I am a person with clear rewards and punishments. Since you have made such immortal contributions to me and the country, you deserve a heavy reward! I will make you the prince of Changshan County, Wu'an is still your fief, and add 3,000 households to the palace, and reward 15,000 taels, oh, and your mansion is too cold, it was built by your father Shi Zhan when he was the Marquis of Xihua. ”

"In this case, I will give you another mansion of the county princess, which will be completed at a later date and you can move in. Or are you simply in Yecheng and choose a luxurious mansion to live in? ”

"This ...... The king, the minister is really ashamed to be a minister! ”

"You're rejecting again?"

"The king, how can the minister be able to be knighted as a prince of the county? It seems that Lord Kui'an and Lord Li Nong have been generals for many years, and they have made great achievements, I don't know how many great achievements they have made for the king and my Great Zhao State, but they have not been crowned the lord of the county, how dare I Shi Min come from behind, and receive this knighthood by virtue of the first battle of the Vadai? Shi Min looked panicked.

Hearing this, the corners of Shi Hu's eyes twitched, and he said, "They are them, you are you!" How can it be the same? Not to mention that you are my adopted grandson and son-in-law, even if you fought this battle to conquer the north, broke the Daiguo, pulled out its capital Shengle Palace, and killed tens of thousands of enemies, all of them forced Tuoba Xianbei to flee north, and they were invincible! ”

This battle was enough to make Tuoba Xianbei have no strength to go south to herd horses within ten years. Your battle has brought more than ten years of peace to the northern border of my Great Zhao Kingdom! It's just a county prince, why can't you accept it? ”

"King Mingjian." Shi Min immediately lowered his hand and said, "The minister has won the favor of the king, and has inherited his father's title (Xihua Marquis) since he was a child. Then he worshiped General Zuo Jichu, Wei Wei, and Marquis Wu'an, which is already a prominent position above 10,000 people under one person, and a minister! Moreover, the minister is only nineteen years old, and the king is so favorable, the government and the opposition will inevitably give birth to some gossip......"

"King, people's words are terrible!"

"Hmph, what about being young? If it is the princes of the court, who can win all battles and be invincible like you, so what's the harm in paying homage to the prime minister? ”

Shi Min shook his head and said, "Please don't torture me, the king." ”

"Thorn slave, in the battle of the Dynasties, you did fight beautifully! If you have merit, how can you not be rewarded? You deserve it! Xianbei people are not easy to fight, in the past, my Zhao State had a rare victory in the battle against Tuoba Xianbei, and you alone can win a big victory, and you can almost fight on behalf of the country! ”

Shi Hu said in a deep voice: "If I don't reward you with the reward I deserve, how can I serve the public? ”

"Minister, thank you, the king!" Shi Min finally accepted it with a helpless face.

Shi Min is now a minister, Wei Wei and Changshan County Prince, on the original fiefdom of Wu'an, add another 3,000 households of food estate! How can such a reward not be heavy?

But Shi Hu did this, with Shi Min's ingenuity, it was naturally impossible to think of it.

It's just a killing.

Originally, Shi Min had already become a hot minister in the court, but this time, he was even more hated by the ministers! In the future, if there is anything wrong with Shi Min, or if there is something wrong, he will inevitably be reported by someone with a heart!

Trembling, walking on thin ice!
