The courtyard fell silent.

Seeing this, Dai Quan hurriedly beckoned to the attendants in the house and motioned for them to come out quickly.

If it is an ordinary person's reward, it is just a matter of Jia Hui, who is now faintly going to become the head of the military ministers, then it is a different matter.

What if something gets out of context, and someone with a heart takes it out of context, what if it's in big trouble?

After seeing the gesture of the old ancestor signaling them to hurry up, the attendants left as if they were fleeing.

Alas, old and old, the reaction is so slow! These little cubs should be driven out when the emperor tells the eldest princess to go out!

Shaking his head, Dai Quan personally re-entered the house with the tray.

The Emperor had already straightened up and sat on the couch, facing the Emperor face to face.

Outside, the majestic Prince of Righteousness, Chen Si, as his son and grandson, could only stand on the edge of the couch and serve with tea and water.

"King, come, come here, the old slave here will come and serve," Dai Quan said softly to Chen Si.

"No, let him wait here." At this moment, the emperor suddenly spoke.

Well?

The remaining three were stunned for a moment, but then different emotions surged in everyone's hearts

Forcibly suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Chen Si lowered his head with the corners of his mouth twitching.

"It's rare to see you hardened, why, decided so early?" Although the emperor was a little stunned, he quickly recovered.

Something to be expected.

Among these boys, Yizhong is too yin, and as the emperor's throne becomes more and more stable, Yizhong, the eldest son and grandson, is getting farther and farther away from the throne.

The second child is too rigid and self-serving, and the third child is too dependent on conspiracy, and there is less atmosphere. If the remaining few want to get on the throne, they have to do the fourth first, but looking at their appearance, before they do the fourth, there is a high probability that they will be killed by the fourth first.

And this fourth child can really suppress the power under his hands for his own use.

Personally risking the arrow stone to participate in the expedition of nine deaths and a lifetime, this trick is very good, and it is very heartfelt.

"Then wait here."

Call.

Hearing that the emperor also agreed to leave his fourth child to serve, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It turns out that the emperor also likes the fourth child.

Dai Quan saw the picture of the three grandparents becoming happy, and he sighed infinitely in his heart for a while.

"The old slave retired." Dai Quan respectfully withdrew from Yanguang Temple, and helped refill the teapot with water before leaving.

Luoyang in the winter moon was already very cold, and it vaguely felt much colder than in previous years, so the father and son hugged Tang Pozi and shrank there, trying not to move.

The eldest princess would not stay outside either, and the female officials would take her to a warm room.

Chen Si could only put his hand into his sleeve and rub it gently.

"Father, although Jia Hui's loyalty is obvious to all, he has risen too fast."

The Emperor spoke.

As the first batch of nobles he canonized, Jia Hui still won his trust, and in return, Jia Hui repaid him loyalty.

And it's also very capable.

It's just that it's not a good thing to be a great minister at a young age, and he doesn't want himself or his emperor to turn against his brother one day because of problems such as high merit and no reward, to hurt a meritorious man, loyal minister, and capable minister who has made great contributions to the country.

"And what are you going to do?" The emperor nodded, he also thought so, Jia Hui is only nineteen this year!

He even regretted giving him the flag in advance.

"Erchen thinks that the title, honor, and position remain the same, and it is most appropriate to give a fictitious title."

It was the result of a night he had been thinking about yesterday.

To be precise, it is the result of two quarters of an hour as a sage.

"What false title?"

"What does my father think, Sangu, how about the crown prince?" The Emperor carefully spoke his mind.

"Less insurance? Nineteen years old plus less insurance." The Emperor felt a little embarrassed.

"Or a young master, a young master. Moreover, the status of this additional official is lower than that of the prince and higher than the secretary, which is worthy of Jia Hui's status as a county official. The Emperor continued.

"That's not going to work, it's too harsh. Don't forget, what did Jinyu bring to the court besides countering the rebellion! After some thought, the Emperor vetoed the Emperor's proposal.

"What? Fourth, what else did Jia Hui bring back? "Yesterday, the emperor skipped class and went to play music, and he didn't watch some of the performances.

"Father, Jinyu has counted the seizures of Songjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou, and Guangdezhou."

Chen Si hurriedly bowed down and replied.

The so-called seizure here refers specifically to the silver taken from the families of the destroyed.

"Two hundred and thirty million taels of silver, four million taels of gold!" Chen Si was trembling as he spoke.

"Huh?" The emperor was dumbfounded.

"Two hundred and thirty million taels of silver, four million taels of gold, father! This is still the seizure of Ningbo Mansion and the statistics of the East China Sea Division, which has not yet been accounted for by Jinyu. When the three prefectures of Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Jinhua are recovered, they may even break through 300 million taels or even get closer to 400 million taels of silver, father! Chen Si trembled and stared at the emperor and said.

"Oh, 400 million taels! Brother Hun, good! The Emperor muttered unconsciously.

"Something that doesn't make a living!" The emperor didn't say a word, and he stretched out his hand and slapped him, almost fanning the emperor over.

"Huh? Father, Shaobao is indeed too low. The Emperor came to his senses again, and the faint pain in the left side of his face made him realize that he had been beaten by his father.

Forget it, just hit it, how can you fight back?

"It's true that the young man is low, but now it's too young to give him the third duke." Quietly brought more than three years and nearly four years of taxes to the imperial court, which made it a little difficult for the emperor to reward Jia Hui after experiencing a large number of winds.

"Good grandson, how do you think you should be rewarded?" The Emperor suddenly looked back at Chen Si and asked.

"It's all up to the emperor's grandfather and father."

Chen Si replied respectfully.

"Let's talk about it, there are no outsiders."

Chen Si pondered for a few breaths.

"You can continue the title for one or two more generations, and then choose one between the Duke of the Kingdom, the Governor of the Chinese Army, and the High Void Title. Give him more rewards"

"It's certain to continue the title, as for the Duke of Guo, let's take it slowly, I hope that you will personally give Jia Hui the Duke of Guo." The emperor was almost explicit.

Chen Si knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Forget about the governor of the Chinese army, the governor of the left army is enough for him to do it for decades. Let's give him a top virtual title. The emperor ignored the interaction between the father and son, and decided on the reward strategy for Jia Hui.

"Don't be stuck to the three publics, the three publics, the three publics? I thought about it, what do you think of this? ”

The emperor suddenly thought of something, dipped his finger in some tea and wrote two words on the table.

The emperor and Chen Si, who were staging a father's kindness and filial piety, hurriedly came over.

"Captain? Father, do you still have the position of Tai Lieutenant in my court? The emperor was stunned.

"Yes." As if a major matter had been solved, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and drank it.

Hmm, did I just stick out my fingers? Forget it, you won't get sick if you don't eat it cleanly.

"Father, the son remembers that there was a prime minister before the establishment of the cabinet in the early years, and now there will be a royal historian or a royal historian after his death. So I guess it's reasonable to have a captain. ”

The emperor thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with this.

"But wasn't the reputation of the official Taiwei ruined by that person in the previous dynasty? Will he be dissatisfied with Jia Hui? "The Emperor still didn't think it was appropriate.

"No, father, with my understanding of Jinyu, he will like the title of Taiwei very much, after all, in the Qin and Han dynasties, Taiwei was the first military attache in the world." Chen Si can understand Jia Hui's temperament.

Even if he put the three positions of Guogong, Dadu Governor and Taiwei in front of Jia Hui and let him choose by himself, he probably didn't want to choose Taiwei without thinking about it.

"Then the captain?"

"For the sake of 400 million silver, then be too captain." The emperor clapped.

。。。。。。

With 30 million taels of silver in hand, Jia Hui forcibly regained his composure after experiencing a few hours of excitement.

But even so, from the perspective of others, the corners of Jia Hui's mouth still rose a little from time to time and quickly loosened.

Probably because this rebellion is about to be put down, and the general is in a good mood, right?

"General, now only the two prefectures of Shaoxing and Jinhua and the two cities of Zhenjiang and Hangzhou have not been pacified, what are we going to do next?"

After two or three months of campaigning, these soldiers have completely subdued Jia Hui, and the morale and morale of the army are no longer the kind of tofu scum that crumbles at the slightest touch. But it is like the Great Qi and all the nations of the Song of Virtue and the Heavenly Pivot is like a bronze and iron cast.

"What did the East China Sea Master say? It's time for the Wa Army to come back, right? ”

Jia Hui didn't answer right away.

Although he could see the whereabouts of the Bei Japanese army on the map, there was no way to explain it, so it was better to ask.

"General, the East China Sea Division said that they are not good at land warfare, and there are not many people, and it is already very difficult to hold Ningbo Mansion, and in addition, it is too busy to blockade the coast, and they are unable to attack Shaoxing Mansion.

In addition, the reserve army has arrived in Yeosu and is preparing to attack Jinhua Province. An officer stood up and reported to Jia Hui.

"Well, since the East China Sea Division's strength is already stretched, then Shaoxing Mansion won't trouble them. Jinhua Mansion was also handed over to the Reserve Army.

Where is Pingliang Beruda! Jia Hui shouted.

"General, the last general Ruda is here!" Ruda stood in the middle of the shogunate's tent with a serious face.

"Order you to lead 20,000 elites to conquer Shaoxing Mansion!"

"Yes, the last general will obey!" Luda took a few steps forward and took the military order given by Jia Hui, with a solemn expression.

A good relationship in private is a good relationship, but in business, the relationship between superiors and subordinates must be strictly distinguished.

Jia Hui nodded and stood up.

"Gentlemen, get ready, start tomorrow, siege the city!"

"Great Qi Wansheng! Grandpa Wansheng! ”

。。。。。。

The city of Hangzhou is in chaos.

The rebels, dressed in dirty white, kicked open the doors with their weapons, and walked in with a roar, and after a burst of chickens and dogs, the men came out with guns held at gunpoint, and there were even half-grown children inside!

A few more people also went out carrying bags of bulging sacks, and several women in tattered clothes ran out crying and shouting, some desperately dragging men, some holding sacks and begging, and some kneeling on the ground to beg the military master for mercy

Both the man and the sack were taken away by the rebels in white, leaving only the woman with a broken head and bleeding to the ground

The young lord has an order, and every man in every household in Hangzhou needs to stand up and take up arms and go to the city wall to defend their homes!

The Holy Maiden has an order, the food in Hangzhou must be managed and distributed by the Holy Sect in a unified manner, and the people in the city must tighten their belts and tide over the difficulties together!

"Now that it has come to the point of life and death of my Holy Sect, all the brothers of the Holy Sect have unanimously decided to unite to defend Hangzhou, how can they work hard anymore? Let's suffer the people first! The young master said.

General, why don't you come in!

The people are crying!

Outside the city, the army of Daqi is making final preparations for the siege.

。。。。。。

"Did you hear that? The general has already besieged Hangzhou! ”

"Ah, doesn't that mean the battle is over?"

"It's about to end, I haven't even returned home after a few months of fighting, and I don't know if my son still recognizes me!"

The noise outside the door woke Gao Xianye, who had been imprisoned for months.

Siege of Hangzhou!

He was still in a trance, and he suddenly sobered up.

The young master and the holy woman of Hangzhou are in danger!

Gao Xianye was suddenly anxious!

forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and returned to that loveless appearance.

Several jailers carried two wooden barrels to Gao Xianye's cell door.

"Eat."

A spoonful of brown rice and a spoonful of stewed winter melon were thumped into a wooden bowl and pushed through the cell door.

This was a cell dedicated to the high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect, and at first it was just him and a certain general soldier who came in two or three days later. After more than 20 days of detention, the cell became lively.

Gao Xianye calculated, about seven chief officers, fourteen deputy chief soldiers, twenty-two comrades, sixty-two large and small staff generals, and more than 100 guerrilla generals were imprisoned here.

These are all official positions specially granted by the sect leader in advance in order to motivate people's hearts!

Here, the guerrilla general himself can be regarded as the lowest status.

may be because of the special orders of the enemy's commander Jia Hui, even the seven general soldiers did not enjoy his high-ranking treatment - a single household.

"General Gao, how did you think about my general's words?" The jailer asked Gao Xianye as if he had completed the fortifications. In the past three months, he would ask him this sentence once a day when he was delivering food to Gao Xianye. There are three times in the morning, noon and evening.

"I don't share the sky with Qi Ting." Gao Xianye is also used to saying a word of refusal before dinner. These days, if he doesn't say this sentence before eating, he will lose his appetite even when he eats.

But today is a little different from the past, is it because Hangzhou City has been besieged?

"General Gao, the elite of my Great Qi has now surrounded Hangzhou City, and it must be a few days before Hangzhou can be recovered. When the army returns to the city and takes Zhenjiang City together, this White Lotus Sect will be gone. General Gao, you should take this opportunity to hurry up anyway!

The general sincerely wants to recruit you, and if you listen to my advice, it's almost over! Then the White Lotus Sect is not worth your follow! I hope that General Gao will think twice, and there is not much time left for the general to think! ”

With that, the jailer walked to the door of the next cell with the barrel.

"Get up, come over for Lao Tzu to eat! Damn, one by one they are too lazy to die, and they still use Lao Tzu to call for dinner? The jailer kicked the solid wooden door and shook the spoon viciously before putting the rice into the bowl.

Gao Xianye just moved to the cell door, sat on the ground and began to eat quickly.

He needs to replenish his strength to complete his plan!

First update!

In addition, I forgot to write it yesterday, thank you for the 20230812123621183 tip!
