Zhang Yun returned, announced that the Ningxia rebellion had been put down, and then it was time to reward meritorious deeds.

In the early morning of the next day, the Taihe Palace.

The ministers were already waiting here early, and Wanli was late with Feng Baoshan.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live." The ministers saw Wanli walking in from the side hall and hurriedly saluted.

Wanli waved his hand and asked the ministers to get up.

Zhang Yun, as the hero of this Ningxia counterinsurgency, is naturally qualified to go to this Taihe Palace.

However, according to his level, he can only stand at the end at present, hidden in the crowd.

After Wanli sat down, he glanced at the ministers, but did not see Zhang Yun's figure, and asked with a puzzled face, "Where is Zhang Yun?" Let him come out to see me. ”

At this time, Zhang Yun saw that he was standing at the end, and no one should notice him, so he began to nap.

For a while, he didn't hear Wanli call him.

Seeing that no one answered, the ministers began to look around looking for Zhang Yun's figure, and the whole scene was not spectacular.

"General Zhang, General Zhang." Zhang Yun felt someone call him in his sleep, and then slowly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was a general about forty-five or sixteen years old, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a red tiger complement official uniform, and his sturdy body covered the official uniform.

Zhang Yun asked with a puzzled face, "What?" ”

The man pointed to Wanli and said softly, "The emperor called you." ”

"it." Zhang Yun exclaimed.

Then he stumbled out of the queue and hurriedly responded to Wanli.

"Minister Zhang Yun see Your Majesty."

Seeing that Zhang Yun was so embarrassed, Wanli couldn't hold back a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Get up, you can stand there for me." ”

So Zhang Yun felt countless eyes cast at him, and Zhang Yun couldn't bear it even if he was thick-skinned.

Wanli snickered secretly in his heart, and then said: "Zhang Siwei, your cabinet has come up with a charter. ”

"I want to reward the heroes of this time."

"Zhang Yun has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion this time, so let's give him a marquis first."

As soon as Wanli said this, not only civil officials but also military attaches exclaimed: "The emperor thinks twice." ”

"Lord Zhang is still young, if he is so young, he will be knighted."

"I'm afraid of chilling the hearts of the heroes."

This is also the first time that the civilian clique and the nobles have been so united.

Zhang Yun was also shocked when he heard Wanli's words, he originally thought that he would be promoted at most this time, but he didn't expect Wanli to be so generous, and he would be a marquis directly.

Wan Li saw that he was dismissed by the ministers, and his face was gloomy.

Then he said coldly: "Since the marquis can't do it, let's make an earl." ”

After hearing this, the ministers still wanted to bargain, and when Wanli saw this, his heart suddenly became angry, and he said angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, or I will be the emperor for you." ”

"The ministers are afraid, and the ministers don't dare." The ministers were angry when they heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed.

Wanli saw that the ministers agreed, and then his face was a little soothed.

"The Changning Army has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion this time, and the army is specially allowed to expand, and several battalion commanders will be recommended by Zhang Yun himself and reported to the Ministry of War." After Wanli finished speaking, he smiled at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun hurriedly nodded in response, the expansion of the Changning Army was something that Zhang Yun had already communicated with Wanli, and today he was secretly relieved when he heard Wanli put it forward.

The earl was a surprise.

With the knighthood in front, the expansion of the army did not cause much commotion, and the ministers agreed to Wanli's proposal with almost no hindrance.

I'm afraid that if I don't agree, Wanli will make some more moths.

Isn't it just to expand a few battalions to eat empty salaries, who hasn't done it, these nobles are all veterans in this field.

However, Zhang Yun didn't think about eating empty salaries, but expanded the army in a real way and filled every member for him.

Wanli saw that the ministers agreed happily this time, and he was in a good mood.

Immediately, the main heroes of Ningxia were rewarded one by one.

After the court meeting dispersed, Zhang Yun had not returned home, and the eunuchs who came to report the good news had already rushed to Zhang Yun's house first.

At this time, Xu Xi and Zhang's mother were both under the lobby to receive the order, and because Xu Xi was pregnant, the eunuch asked her to sit and receive the order.

The eunuch sneered with a smirk, and then took out the holy decree from his bosom and began to read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." ”

"Zhang Yun, the son of Zhang Liu, has outstanding military achievements, and Zhang Liu's family has meritorious upbringing, and he is specially named the county lady."

"Zhang Yun's wife, Xu Xi, is a third-grade lady in Jin, and Zhang Yun's son is a hundred households in Jinyi, and he is hereditary."

“......”

After the eunuch finished reading, he smiled and handed the holy decree to Xu Xi.

"Then the little man congratulates the lady and the countess."

"Hurry up and show your father-in-law the reward." Xu Xi's face was full of spring and shouted at the girl.

The maid went to the treasury and withdrew a few ingots of silver, and then handed them to the eunuch who had decreed the decree.

The eunuch heard that there was still a reward, and the smile on his face was even stronger, and after some resignation on the surface, he accepted Xu Xi's silver.

After saying a few beautiful words to Xu Xi and Zhang's mother, he returned to the palace with the eunuch who announced the decree.

After Xu Xi saw the eunuch walking away, he held the holy decree in his hand, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Silly boy." Mother Zhang hugged Xu Xi into her arms and said softly.

The two hugged each other and cried for a while, leaving tears of joy.

After a long time, Zhang's mother let go of Xu Xi, wiped the tears on her face and quipped: "How old are people, they still love to cry." ”

Xu Xi's face turned red and retorted: "Mother, you also cried just now, and you still talked about me." ”

"I'm blowing in the wind."

"Mother, mother, what are you doing?"

"Who bullied you?" Just when the two were arguing, Zhang Yun suddenly walked in.

"Nothing, nothing." The two retorted with a blushing face and a slight hint of panic.

Zhang Yun looked at the two of them with slightly red eyes, obviously just cried, and suddenly felt confused.

Zhang's mother left in a hurry under the pretext that something was wrong, leaving only Xu Xi and Zhang Yun in the lobby.

The two looked at each other, Zhang Yun took a step forward and looked at Xu Xi's slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Then, he bent down and smiled and put his head on it.

"What are you doing?" Xu Xi asked with a red face when he saw Zhang Yun's action.

"I listen to my son's voice, can't I?"

"Fool, how can you speak in three months." Xu Xi scolded with a smile.

Zhang Yun has been a human being for two lifetimes, and this is his first father, so he is extremely excited.

"I don't care, I say he's talking, he's talking." Zhang Yun played a scoundrel.

Xu Xi covered his mouth and smiled: "You are about to be a father, and you still have such a child's temper." ”

Zhang Yun was afraid that Xu Xi would be tired, so he carefully helped her to lie on the bed, Zhang Yun protected Xu Xi inside, and the two chatted without a word.

As he talked, he brought the topic to Xu Yu.

Xu Xi asked about Xu Yu's performance, and Zhang Yun also nodded, which was regarded as a recognition of his performance.

Next, Xu Xi's sister began to worry about Xu Yu's life events: "This stinky boy is not too young, I think it's time to find him a daughter-in-law." ”

Zhang Yun was speechless after hearing this, this kid is seventeen now.
