Among the people who are rewarded for meritorious deeds, the greatest credit is undoubtedly He Qingxiao.

Gold, silver and jewelry, good fields, Emperor Xingyuan rewarded him very generously, and crowned the crown prince Taibao, as the commander of Jinlinwei. Of course, this crown prince Taibao is a false title, and it is a great honor given by the emperor to the minister.

And there is another Emperor Xingyuan who thinks that the biggest reward is not said in his heart. Originally, He Qingxiao and Ah Yu were impossible for him here, but now, if they begged him to be a father, it was not impossible to consider it.

Zhao Feifan, the commander of the Beijing camp, and other soldiers were rewarded according to the size of their merits, and as for the civil officials who interceded for Xin Yu such as Hubu Shangshu, the rewards of real money and silver were not needed, and it was enough for Emperor Xingyuan to praise them verbally.

And then there's the harem.

Concubine Xian was promoted to concubine, Concubine Li was promoted to Concubine Li, and although the other concubines were not promoted in rank, they all had rewards such as jewelry and ayaluo.

Princess Xuan finally had a title and was named Princess Jiarou.

When considering the title of Princess Xuan, Emperor Xingyuan naturally thought of Xin Yu.

"Ayu, I want to crown you as the princess of Xia Kingdom, what do you think?"

The old thing was brought up again, and Emperor Xingyuan didn't think that Xin Yu would refuse.

Xin Yu did not hesitate to refuse.

"Why not? Ayu, if you don't want to be in the palace, you can build a princess's mansion outside the palace in advance, which is no different from now. ”

"There is no difference, the minister still wants to maintain the status quo."

After experiencing the thrilling in the harem, Xin Yu can see more and more clearly: the closer to the imperial power, the life and death honor and disgrace are only in the emperor's thoughts.

He cares about her daughter, and it doesn't matter what her identity is. If he didn't care, asking her to die was just a matter of words.

This feeling of being in charge of life and death is terrible.

And with her not knowing this person very well, he is confident and strong, and the more he can't get along with him, the more rebellious he becomes. If those people in the Ministry of Rites make such a fuss, the new deal should not die halfway.

Without worrying about the new policy, Xin Yu planned to wait for Great Xia to send envoys to the sea before asking for an order. At that time, the sea and the sky will be a hundred times stronger than in the capital.

It's just that I don't know if I can take He Qingxiao with me.

Xin Yu firmly refused, and Emperor Xingyuan was not reluctant: "I keep the title of Princess Xia Guo for you, and when you think about it, you can canonize it." ”

For this reason, Emperor Xingyuan specially issued an edict, in addition to the royal family, Xin Yu met the official level.

When the will spread, the officials not only lamented the emperor's importance to Xin Yu, but also did not understand Xin Yu's stubbornness.

It's not appropriate to be a good princess of Xia Kingdom, isn't it stupid?

The next thing to focus on is the case of the rebellion of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and others. This major case lasted vigorously for several months before it was over, and many major ethnic groups in the south were almost uprooted, and nearly 1,000 officials of all sizes were involved.

It's all cooked, and it's just after autumn. You don't have to wait any longer, just kill.

Among them, the treatment of Kou Tianming made Emperor Xingyuan think about it a little more.

He specially sent someone to Kou Tianming's hometown to check, where can he find out what happened fifty years ago, in short, the result is that there is no problem with Kou Tianming's life experience.

Regarding this result, Emperor Xingyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was Kou Tianming's occupancy of the magpie's nest or his resemblance to him, these two points made it difficult for him to tolerate such a person living in the world.

It has nothing to do with his Chen family, so it's the best.

But Kou Tianming was calculated by Zhang Yuchen after all, and after a few years of darkness, he was used by the Ministry of Rites and others. Emperor Xingyuan also understood that this was a poor person, so he did not implicate his relatives, but only dismissed Duan Shaoqing and his son Duan Yunchen from their official positions.

After receiving the edict of being dismissed, Duan Shaoqing was not only not uncomfortable, but also felt relaxed that the boulder finally landed.

The old lady couldn't stand the stimulation and fainted for a while, and after waking up, she listened to Duan Shaoqing's persuasion: "Mother, don't feel uncomfortable, brother-in-law, he is pretending to be the emperor, our Duan family is already fortunate that they have not been copied and beheaded!" ”

The old lady still couldn't think about it, wiped her tears and said: "The money is gone, the officials are gone, it's gone...... Why did you choose such a person for your sister back then......"

It was not only Duan Shaoqing who guarded the old lady, but also Duan Wenbai and his wife and juniors.

The second wife, Zhu, listened to the old lady's words, and there was no reaction on her face, but she sighed in her heart: Shaoqing's Mansion has relied on the Kou family's wealth to live a luxurious life all these years, but she has not taken good care of her daughter. Now because the Kou family has lost their official position and resigned, Xu is God's punishment.

Duan Yunlang was not a material for reading in the first place, but now he was finally able to withdraw from Guozijian without feeling that this was a punishment at all. The third girl, Duan Yunling, has decided on her family, and the man has no intention of withdrawing from her family. The fourth girl, Duan Yunyan, is still young, so she doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

If you want to say that you are affected by Kou Tianming, the most uncomfortable one is Duan Yunchen.

He has just stepped into his career, and his ambitions have not yet been realized, and ten years of hard work have been in vain.

After Duan Shaoqing persuaded the old lady and persuaded her son: "How do you read the book of the Ministry of Rites?" The official to the second rank, an important minister in the court, was chopped to death with a thousand knives. For the father, I want to open it, son, you want to open it too. ”

Ever since he recognized his brother-in-law Kou Tianming in the main hall that day, Duan Shaoqing had a psychological shadow, and when he thought of Emperor Xingyuan, his legs were weak and he couldn't stand steadily. Now that he doesn't have to go to court, he even has a feeling of secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

A group of officials who committed crimes were killed, dismissed officials, and more fresh, obedient, and young officials were added, and soon the hall was full again.

The implementation of the new policy in various places is becoming more and more smooth, and the promotion of sweet potatoes has also achieved gratifying results.

In places with different climates, sweet potatoes are harvested, so that Emperor Xingyuan truly recognized the value of overseas. He made up his mind not only to bring back the potatoes mentioned by Xinyu, but also to dig up more treasures overseas.

As for the sale of Great Xia products, it is also in his plan. After raiding the homes of those big clans in the south, the huge amount of wealth obtained made him, the emperor, drop his jaw. And much of this wealth comes from the staggering profits from smuggling abroad.

Without Xin Yu's persuasion, Emperor Xingyuan slapped the table. Instead of letting those insatiable scholars quietly smuggle and make a lot of money, it is better for the court to make money, and whoever dares to stop it will cut off someone's head, and it just so happens that the blood stains on the ground in the West Market are still hot.

At this time, two months have passed since the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and others have been in the law, and the weather is beginning to turn cold, and a year is about to pass again.

Just when Emperor Xingyuan revealed in a small area that he wanted to lift the sea ban, all the ministers played together and asked for the crown prince.

Emperor Xingyuan's fall into the water strengthened the determination of the hundred officials and nobles to ask for the establishment of the prince.

"There is no prince in the country, and the society is unstable. Please give priority to the society of the country, set up the crown prince as soon as possible, and stabilize the hearts of the subjects. ”

The petition was overwhelming: "Please Your Majesty appoint the crown prince as soon as possible, and appease the hearts of the subjects." ”

Emperor Xingyuan sat on the dragon chair, listened to the request of the civil and military officials with a calm face, and asked lightly: "Oh, then which prince does the Qing think is suitable?" ”

The ministers were still in the shadow of the execution of officials such as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, how dare they propose candidates, and immediately kicked the ball back: "But by Your Majesty's decision, Your Majesty is sacred." ”
