King Ye Zhao Yan interrupted the commotion in the court, and Chu Yujia, who was behind, said with a pleasant face: "Yujia, I haven't seen you for three years, I've grown taller and stronger......

"This time outside the Huling Pass, Lone has already heard about it. ”

"The ministers have been at loggerheads, some say you should be rewarded, others say you shouldn't. ”

King Ye Zhao Yan picked the corners of his mouth, stared at Chu Yujia's demeanor, and asked, "Today, I want to ask you, do you plan to let Gu reward you, or not?"

"Does the king really want to listen?"

"Concerning your reward, it is natural to hear. ”

"If the king wants to reward the grass people, then the grass people will be disrespectful. ”

Hearing this, Ye Wang Zhao Yan was a little surprised, frowned and asked a little suspiciously, "Then, what are you going to want?"

Chu Yujia smiled very mercifully, as if he was a scoundrel, and said, "If the king wants to reward the grass people, then the grass people want to open their mouths." ”

"Oh?"

Ye Wang Zhao Yan frowned slightly, and asked, "That Gu wants to hear how you plan to open your mouth." ”

At this moment, the ministers of civil and military affairs were all looking at Chu Yujia.

They also wanted to know what Chu Yujia wanted to say, and what reward he wanted from King Ye Zhao Yan.

Gong Qingdang and Li Puyi looked at each other in unison, and then set their eyes on Chu Yujia.

Chu Yujia still had that expression, and said: "No matter what I say this time, it can be regarded as a birth and death for the king, and the king has to reward me with a thousand hectares of fertile land, a thousand taels of gold or something, so that I can support my mother-in-law and children." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the audience was stunned.

No one expected that Chu Yujia would say this.

Hearing this, King Ye Zhao Yan was also stunned for a moment, then laughed on his back, pointed at Chu Yujia's nose and scolded with a smile: "What a little guy who is greedy for money." ”

"Hey, hey. ”

Chu Yujia scratched his head and smiled, but no one noticed that the moment Chu Yujia lowered his head, the smile on his face froze, and his eyes were full of coldness.

"But simply rewarding you with these things is not enough to show your merits. ”

Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, put away the meaning of the joke and said: "If you let the people know that Lone actually treats my Ye country meritorious hero like this, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, so Lone decides to add to the reward you want and restore your title and your official position, do you have any objections?"

Reinstatement of official positions and titles?

Starting from Chu Yujia's grandfather, the Chu family has been in the army for generations, Chu Yujia's grandfather Rong Ma all his life, and finally died in the Jin State with his two uncles, and later his father took over the banner of the Chu family, from the northeast of Ye State to Ye State, and established the Northwest Army.

Although the Chu family is not a famous family in the Ye Kingdom, but it is also a nobleman, Chu Yujia was only three years old when he was given the title of quasi-knighthood by the first king, and after the current Ye King Zhao Yan ascended the throne and became king, he was awarded the title of viscount.

When he was thirteen years old, because he made a bet with King Ye Zhao Yan, he was given the official position of Captain of Che and Ma by King Ye Zhao Yan.

"The previous Lieutenant doesn't seem to be a good fit for you. ”

King Ye Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "It's better to make you a palace general, what do you think?"

The general in front of the palace belongs to the miscellaneous generals, and the official residence is five grades, although it is not big, but for many ordinary people, it is also a big official position.

Especially for people like Chu Yujia, this is even more so.

After all, his father has not been wronged by Zhaoxue until now, and his ability to be an official is the extrajudicial grace of King Ye Zhao Yan.

Normally, even if you give a merit to offset it, others can't say anything, but the obedience shown by Chu Yujia made King Ye Zhao Yan very useful.

"Since the king rewarded him, the grass people were disrespectful. ”

Chu Yujia bowed slightly.

"No, my lord. ”

The inner history who spoke before stood up again and said coldly: "King, Chu Yujia himself is a guilty person, and his father is a thief of our country, if he is given such an official body, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public." ”

"A national thief?"

Without waiting for Chu Yujia and Ye King Zhao Yan to speak, Wu Dangguo on the side stood up with a sneer and said: "General Chu guards the northwest gate for my Daye, and guards a peace for the world, you actually say that he is a national thief?"

"Even if he has great merits, it can't prevent him from having the heart to rebel against me later. ”

"Fortunately, he still has a little conscience, and he knows that he is guilty of a lot and is willing to surrender to the law, otherwise it will inevitably be another bloody storm and a misery. ”

Neishi didn't seem to have so much respect for the general, and choked back a word in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

"It doesn't seem good for you to say this now. ”

Wu Dangguo raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Chu Yujia as if he had no doubt about it.

Chu Yujia still had that demeanor, he didn't even change, and looked at the dome of the main hall by himself.

Li Puyi and Gong Qingdang frowned.

This Wu Dangguo jumped out and mentioned these at this time, it seems that he still didn't plan to let go of the Chu family.

"I don't need to talk to you about it, I have my own king to decide. ”

Zhao Yan, the king of Neishi, knelt on his knees and kowtowed: "King, the minister implores to take down the son of this criminal minister, behead him on the street, and correct the law and discipline!"

Chu Yujia's performance has reminded King Ye Zhao Yan of many past events, and he also pities this person who has no home, so he will give him so many rewards and so many preferential treatments.

After all, he couldn't be clearer about how Chu Qianwen died in the first place.

He will never forget the general who pointed to his nose and scolded him for digging his own wall.

It's just that Wu Dangguo's words come out now, and he can't help but start to think of the years when the general was alive again.

The Northwest Army is strong......

The Northwest Army made brilliant achievements......

The Northwest Army is the face of Ye State......

During those years, these words kept filling his ears and echoing in his mind.

As a king, he would never allow anyone to be more famous than himself.

Heroes, capable ministers, and strong generals, no matter what they are, as long as they block their own imperial road, they must be eradicated.

This may be the king's helplessness, but also the king's cold-bloodedness.

It is said that the king is a lonely man, and this sentence is actually not true at all, whether in life or after death, he is just a lonely man.

It's just that now, Zhao Yan is not young, he is already a man in his forties, he can already feel that many things are beyond his strength, and there are many things that he can easily do before, but now he can't do many things.

Ye Wang Zhao Yan couldn't help but think of his son, who was almost the same age as Chu Yujia, and even knew a little in temperament.

In fact, no one knew that as early as three years ago, when Chu Yujia walked out of Yueling City, there was another person who walked in the opposite direction from Chu Yujia, Chu Yujia went from north to south, and he went from south to north.

Chu Yujia has returned now, but the man has not returned.

A few days ago, I heard a report that the man should be on his way back in about 20 days.

Ye Wang Zhao Yan sighed on his back, then lowered his head to look at the inner history who was still kneeling, and said, "Lord Wang, Gu understands your thoughts, but this reward Gu has to be rewarded, because Yu Jia's merits are placed here. ”

"Merit, can there be a big crime?"

Nei Shi looked at Chu Yujia with a disgruntled face.

Zhao Yan smiled, and then his eyes became cold, and he said in a loud voice: "Just ask the whole world, who dares to call in front of the 200,000 enemy army, who dares to claim that he is a native of Ye in front of the 200,000 enemy army, who dares to bring the corpses of his comrades back to his hometown in front of the 200,000 army formation, and who dares to challenge the enemy army generals?"

"If you can name one today, then you will have nothing to say, but can you? Do you have the ability?"

"If you have that ability, you will still let the enemy soldiers come to the city, but there will still be so many Ye Guoerlang who can't see the snow in their hometown?"

Now that the report from the front line has come, as early as a few days ago, the royal court began to discuss who would lead the troops to reinforce Huling Pass.

Because once the Huling Pass is breached, the capital of Ye Guoguo will be like a stripped-naked little lady standing in front of a rough man.

Ye Wang Zhao Yan's questioning made the ministers in the audience unable to say a word, and Wang Neishi buried his head low and didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, Chu Yujia, who had not spoken, spoke, raised his eyes to look at King Ye Zhao Yan, and said with a smile: "King, the grass people have something to say. ”

"But it doesn't matter. ”

"The grass people want to make a bet with the king. ”

"Bet?"

"yes. ”

Chu Yujia smiled and said: "I don't know how, as soon as I see the king, the grass people want to bet, I made a bet before, and I won a lieutenant for the grass people, and today the grass people still want to bet with the king." ”

"Bet on what?"

"Bet on the lives of grass people. ”

Chu Yujia arched his hand and said: "Now that the enemy is present, the 250,000 people of the Qi State have gathered outside the Huling Pass, and the grass people guess that the king must be busy with the matter of who to lead the troops to send reinforcements these days, since the grass people are the king's courtiers, they should share the worries of the king, so the grass people want to bet with the king this time." ”

As soon as he heard this, King Ye Zhao Yan became interested, looked at Chu Yujia who was standing in the audience, and asked, "How are you going to gamble?"

"I bet that I can defeat the Qi army with the defenders of Huling Pass today, and I bet that I can make the Qi army pay a heavy price. ”

Chu Yujia arched his hand again: "If I lose, I am willing to bear any punishment, but if I win by luck, the king will promise me one thing, I don't know, the king is willing to bet with the grass people this time." ”

"Ridiculous!"

This was said by Wu Dangguo, and Wu Dangguo glared angrily at Chu Yujia: "How can a military affair be a child's play, how can this kind of thing be used as a bet?"

"Why not?"

Chu Yujia was not afraid of Wu Dangguo's domineering attitude, and said with his head held high: "Life is a gamble, and war is also a gamble. ”

"The general naturally belongs to the former, which one won the bet, so now I want to call you the general, are you right?"

Chu Yujia's words can be said to be suspected of being a big rebellion, but no one can find anything wrong, after all, Zhao Yan, the king of Ye on the stage, didn't speak.

Ye Wang Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes, looked at Chu Yujia and said, "Are you sure you want to gamble?"
