Chapter 821: Not Rewarding
After learning that Xiao Ruxue had really gone to Liuzhou with Xu Qing, King Xian's mood became bad again.
On the way back to Beijing, the little girl was also very unhappy, because she did not encounter robbers or bandits blocking the way.
The thieves probably weren't happy either. It would take several days for so many troops to leave, so why not let them do business properly?
When the army approached the capital, they had already seen the emperor of Chu leading all the civil and military officials in the court, five miles out of the city to greet them, and the people of the capital were on both sides of the official road.
At this moment, from the emperor down to the people, everyone's faces were filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts.
Chu defeated the grassland
Xu Qing also saw Su Qian and Xuan'er who was holding the child beside her in the crowd. Su Qian was wearing a uniform, so naturally she didn't have to squeeze in with the common people.
Originally, women were not qualified to welcome the triumphant army with the officials.
But Su Qian was an exception.
Because the husband of the family not only went out to fight, but also sealed the wolf to live in Xushan, and carved a stone to leave his name.
You must know that since ancient times, there was only one person who sealed the wolf and lived in Xuxu, and that was Huo Qubing, and there was only one person who returned home carved in stone, and that was Dou Xian.
Now there are three more Chu Kingdoms.
Feng Lang Juxu also carved a stone monument.
As the wife of the Marquis of Anding County, it's too late for many officials to curry favor with her, to prevent her from coming out to welcome her husband? You have to have no eyesight to do it.
And didn't you see who was standing next to them?
Concubine Xian and Concubine Shizi!
With these two Dharma protectors, let alone going out of the city to meet your husband, even going to the Golden Palace to attend a banquet is no problem.
And Su Jiyuan, who stands among the officials, is also extremely proud, look at his own son-in-law, who is sealed as a wolf!
He said that the own daughter did not misunderstand the person at the beginning, the achievements of the famous generals through the ages!
The gate of the city is not a place to talk about the pain of lovesickness. After the victory of the army, the imperial court will hold a celebration banquet in the palace to entertain the outstanding military generals.
Xu Qing was actually very lucky that he followed Xiao Ye to pick up a leak, but somehow he became the second biggest hero in this battle besides Xiao Ye.
Originally, Xu Qing wanted Su Qian to go with her, but Su Qian refused. She didn't like the excitement, so she said she would wait for him at home, so Xu Qing didn't hesitate.
But what Xu Qing didn't expect was that the third prince and the fourth prince, two people with not wanting faces, also came to the celebration banquet.
The two of them agreed that without the two of them abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, Chu would not have defeated the grassland so easily.
It is true to say so, although I have reserved positions for you, but as two traitors, can you stop being so complacent?
I thought it was two generals from the Central Plains who sealed the wolf and lived in Xuxu.
What is the air of the traitor?
Although he felt that the brains of these two guys might be different from ordinary people, Xu Qing didn't say anything more.
The two sat at the celebration banquet and ate happily, just like the second prince back then.
Xu Qing was very curious, had the grassland people never eaten?
But before Xu Qing had time to complain about the third prince and the fourth prince, Xu Qing had a job to do.
Since there was no shortage of military exploits on the battlefield, naturally there was no shortage of drinking at the celebration banquet.
Xu Qing was also very curious, he didn't mention a word about the rewards, why all of them were replaced with wine?
Xu Qing even wondered if Xiao Ruxue's wine was also on his head because he was fed this?
Because Xiao Ruxue, the little girl, never drank a glass of wine from the beginning to the end, and he and Xiao Ye poured one glass after another into their stomachs.
The Emperor of Chu was also in a dilemma. They all said that rewards are based on merit, but the three people with the most military exploits this time are not so easy to reward.
Who is the most successful?
Undoubtedly it was Xiao Ye!
How do you reward this?
If the reward is higher, then it is to give away his throne, the key is that if you want to give it to him, you have to want it!
How to reward Xu Qing for the second battle?
Originally, letting him go out on this trip was to let him use some military exploits to block the mouths of these leisurely people in the court. Brother Huang also planned well with himself at the beginning.
Why are you planning and planning, planning to become a wolf and a living Xu?
What did the emperor let him do on the battlefield?
She is now a marquis, and if she goes up one more level, she will be a duke.
If in another two years he comes up with something new, then he should crack the soil and become the king. What about two years after cracking the soil and becoming the king? Do you want to abdicate for a virtuous person?
Can he afford it?
Cher is even more difficult to reward.
Now there is no one in the entire state of Chu who can control her, so why not?
The key is that if she lacks something, she will take it by herself, and there is no need to reward it by herself.
Emperor Chu, who had a headache at first, felt even more uncomfortable seeing the virtuous king beside him. He was in charge of such a huge logistics when they were fighting outside. Now that he came back, he threw everything on himself, and he Have you been drinking one after another in the past?
Sometimes I really want to throw away the throne, whoever wants it will go...
At this moment, a forbidden soldier walked in from outside, and the cupped fist bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the leader of the Wanyan Tribe asks to see His Majesty."
"The leader of the Wanyan Department?" Chu Huang murmured and said, "Xuan!"
Today, the Chu State came back from a great victory, and many of the affiliated countries took advantage of the day to send envoys to hold congratulatory messages in order to please the Chu State and win the favor of the Chu State.
Although the Wanyan tribe can be regarded as a vassal state of Chu State, but this battle turned you into a vassal state. As for coming here now to sprinkle salt on your own wounds?
But no matter what the state of Chu thinks, the former second prince and now the leader of the Wanyan Tribe, Wanyanlu, walked in with a congratulatory message in his hand, bowed his head, and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for opening up the territory and establishing the future of the world." base."
The Emperor Chu couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard what the second prince said. He had met the second prince before, and the second prince gave him the impression that he liked to eat his brains and was not very good at it. But why did he speak so forcefully now?
Etiquette is also so thoughtful?
Even the virtuous king couldn't help raising his head to look at Wanyanlu when he heard Wanyanlu's words. How could this person be so resilient?
At the right time, the Emperor Chu said, "The leader is dead, Wei Zhong presented a congratulatory message, and ordered people to sit for the leader."
Wei Zhong, who was beside the Emperor Chu, said hello, then walked down the steps, took the congratulatory message from Wan Yanlu, and then a servant brought new tables and chairs and placed them beside the third and fourth princes.
Wan Yanlu bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all, Wan Yanlu went to the seat and sat down.
Now it was the turn of the third and fourth princes to tremble.
Although they said they were abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, they could be said to have betrayed the Wanyan Department. The second brother didn't come here to seek revenge, did he?
Just when they were worried, Wanyanlu saw that the seriousness just now disappeared without a trace, turned his head slightly to look at the third prince and the fourth prince, and whispered: "Among these dishes, which one is the most delicious? what?"
