Chapter 183 On Merits

The victory of the army and the king of a country openly discusses the meritorious deeds, which is one of the most concerned things for many courtiers. Therefore, on the day when the DPRK meeting was about to begin, the officials attending the DPRK meeting entered the palace an hour ahead of schedule. The Yang family in Tianbo Mansion entered the palace to attend the court meeting. There are still five people: She Laojun, Yang Zongbao, Mu Guiying, Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying.

As soon as the five members of the Yang family entered the Zichen Hall, they attracted everyone's attention, especially Yang Zongbao, the grand marshal of the rebel army. The ministers in the palace could not forget that Yang Zongbao was defeated at the beginning, and Ding said that he wanted to ask Zhao Heng to treat the crime of the Yang family. It was in the hall that Mu Guiying turned the tide and solved the danger of the Yang family and let Zhao Heng make a promise.

If Yang Zongbao succeeds in rebellion, he will be awarded the title of King of Pingnan. King Pingnan, this is the king. What an honor it is for the Yang family to be the Yang family. The reputation of the Yang family will reach a new height, which makes Ding Yu very envious and hate him.

However, Zhao Heng, who was about to enter the Zichen Hall, regretted it. God knows why he blurted out at that time and gave Mu Guiying a promise. The Yang family is the most afraid in his heart. If there is another king in the Yang family, isn't this the opposite of his original intention?

"official, what's wrong with you? Your eyebrows are all frowned together." Liu E knew what Zhao Heng was worried about, but she did not take the initiative to ask, but reached out her hand to smooth Zhao Heng's eyebrows.

This warmed Zhao Heng's heart and took the opportunity to grab Liu E's hand into his hand and whispered, "It's not for Yang Zong to be named 'king'."

"Does the official regret it?" Liu E smiled gently, which made Zhao Heng a little embarrassed. She coughed dryly and said, "I have no regrets. However, Yang Zongbao was so young that he was crowned king. I'm afraid that he will be spoiled and make trouble. At that time, my face will not look good either.

Although Zhao Heng said so, Liu E also followed his meaning and nodded. But in Liu E's heart, she knows Zhao Heng's true thoughts very well. After thinking about it, Liu E smiled and said, "In fact, according to my concubine, Yang Zongbao's title of king is not a big deal. At most, it's just to give him the name of a prince and some more salary.

"What do you say?" Zhao Heng's eyes lit up and motioned Liu E to go on.

In fact, Liu E has long thought about how to solve Zhao Heng's worries. Seeing Zhao Heng's inquiry, she would have thought about it in detail.

The Yang family is different from any family in the Song Dynasty. Because the current mansion of the Yang family was personally given by Emperor Taizu and rebuilt by Emperor Taizong. Even if Yang Zongbao is crowned king, it is impossible to move out of Tianbo Mansion. Moreover, the plaque of Tianbo Mansion cannot be changed. How can a prince without his own mansion be counted as a real prince?

Also, if you become a prince, you naturally have to look like a prince. As a prince, it is impossible to lead troops until a last resort. At most, it is the supervisor, just like the Eight Princes. This is not exactly Zhao Heng's intention to let the Yang family stay as far away from the military camp as possible.

If the Yang family really has any thoughts, then Zhao Heng also has a clear reason to deal with the Yang family. And Zhao Heng can also say righteously, let's see how Zhao Heng is so good to your Yang family, but how do you repay me?

In a word, Zhao Heng only used a prince's false name and a prince's salary to give the Yang family a trap. Why don't you do this? What else is there to be upset about?

Of course, the meaning expressed by Liu E in words is not so obvious, but it is still understood by Zhao Heng. Finally, Zhao Heng went to the court happily.

When Zhao Heng left, Liu E stroked her lower abdomen and smiled, "Mu Guiying, that's all I have done. After that, it depends on your luck. Ding said, it's impossible for me to offend him again. For the future of my child, we still need to 'pave the way'..."

......

In the Zichen Hall, Zhao Heng sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers easily. He was in a very good mood.

Standing below, Ding Yu saw this situation and muttered in his heart. However, for the sake of his son, he doesn't intend to make the Yang family too happy.

"The Emperor..."

Ding took a step forward and began to talk about the return of the rebel army to Bianliang. Ding Yu, as the Privy Councillor of the Privy Council, is his job to deal with these matters and report them to Zhao Heng. Speaking of Ding's ability to achieve this position as a secret envoy, his own ability is not bragging.

Zhao Heng listened to Ding Yu's report and nodded repeatedly, feeling very comfortable with his ability to do things. However, when it comes to rewarding merit, Ding's behavior of suppressing the Yang family is very obvious. For other generals, the rewards proposed by Ding are fair. However, Ding Wei proposed punishments for the rebellious marshal Yang Zongbao, deputy marshal Mu Guiying, the commander Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying.

"... As the commander of the army, it is natural to set an example for the whole army. But Yang Zongbao will let his relatives enter the army without passing through the Privy Council, which is clearly public and private..."

"...As the deputy commander, Mu Guiying did not report to the court, so he made a private opinion and gave the defeated army and property, which obviously did not take the emperor and did not pay attention to the court..."

"... Control Yang Zongfeng, have no military discipline, and often leave the barracks privately... Yang Zongying, without the consent of the coach, enter Yizhou privately..."

Ding said that there could be an hour, all of which were aimed at the four people of the Yang family. However, some people can hear that Ding was mainly aimed at Mu Guiying, and the three brothers Yang Zongbao just took it with him. Although it's just with him, what Ding said is also true. It's also a little troublesome that Yang Zongbao and the others don't explain clearly.

As the parties involved, the three brothers Yang Zongbao can't say anything, and Mrs. She can't say anything. Therefore, Kou Zhun, who was dedicated to the country, stood up and excused Yang Zongbao and the three. It is not long for Kou to be in the position of prime minister, and this is at a good level.

In the face of Kou Zhun, Ding said it was really difficult. However, his main goal is not Yang Zongbao, and he doesn't have too much entanglement. When it came to Mu Guiying, Ding and his faction all jumped out.

Qian Weiyan suffered a lot before, and naturally it was on the head of the Yang family. With Ding Yu's eyes, the first one jumped out and stated Mu Guiying's guilt: "Your Majesty, Yang Zongbao and other three people are rarely wrong. Just punish them a little. But Mu Guiying, Marquis of Huntian, as a deputy marshal, has also served as a grand marshal, but he has no king and made his own decision, which is a great disrespect to the emperor. Emperor, the property is small, and Mu Guiying's attitude is big. Like her..."

"Your Majesty, Lord Qian's words are pearly, and I deeply think so..." As soon as Qian Weiyan's words fell, the ministers in the palace jumped out one after another. They infinitely extended and expanded Qian Wei's words, and even found out the little mistakes Mu Guiying made on Guangnan West Road.

Mu Guiying, who was originally very angry, was happy to see this funny scene. This time, Mu Guiying finally understood why all the generals in the barracks looked down on civilian officials. If this was placed when Mu Guiying was still in Mukezhai, she would definitely not say anything and slapped them.

Zhao Heng, sitting on the dragon chair, seems to have seen enough. He was also extremely uncomfortable about Mu Guiying's decision. But when Kou Zhun took the crossbow and entered the palace late at night, Zhao Heng was relieved. Of course, it was Liu E who made Zhao Heng not care about this matter.

Zhao Heng is also because Liu E said that a woman is also a woman, and she always makes it difficult for her to do something. Only then did I remember that Mu Guiying was just the daughter-in-law of the Yang family. Even if she is beheaded, it will not shake the Yang family at all. Therefore, Zhao Heng did not take Mu Guiying seriously at all.

With a cough, Zhao Heng slowly said, "Mu Guiying, do you have anything to refute this matter?"

"To the emperor, Gui Ying did agree to Li Mingyan's second request. Gui Ying has nothing to say about this. Mu Guiying took a step forward and simply admitted his guilt.

This made Qian Weiyan and others take a long breath and regret it at the same time. Looking at Mu Guiying's intention, she didn't intend to deny it. But these people spit on the hall like clowns, which is really humiliating. However, Fortunately, they all got used to it. Although they were a little embarrassed, their expressions did not change.

Zhao Heng was also a little surprised that Mu Guiying was so straightforward. After ponding, he said curiously, "Mu Guiying, since you have pleaded guilty, what do you think I should do with you?"

"Go back to the emperor, Gui Ying asked the emperor to remove all the official positions on Gui Ying and the title of Marquis of Heaven." Mu Guiying has long thought that as long as she gives up everything, maybe Zhao Heng will no longer embarrass the Yang family. However, she didn't expect that Zhao Heng did not want to embarrass her.

"Oh?" Zhao Heng's eyes moved, looked at Mu Guiying with a serious expression, and was silent again. After a long time, he slowly said, "I have granted your request. However, you still keep your title first. As for your salary, use it to return those belongings. When will it be paid off and when will you get your salary?

' Hiss--' In Zichen Hall, the ministers took another breath for Zhao Heng's move. They all saw that Zhao Heng intended to let Mu Guiying go. Is Zhao Heng still very useful to the Yang family? Isn't it a mistake what they did to the Yang family before?

Without waiting for the reaction of the ministers, things have changed again. Ding took a step forward, knelt on the hall and cried, "Your Majesty, please don't be blinded by Mu Guiying. The old minister tried his best to die today, and he also wanted the emperor to understand Mu Guiying's sinister intentions.

When Zhao Heng saw Ding Yu's behavior, he frowned. It seemed that he was a little strange that he didn't see what he meant. His tone was a little unplealike: "Ding Qing, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, Mu Guiying is the deputy marshal of the rebel army on Guangnan West Road, but he is in chaos and treason. Please understand." Ding said with a sad and indignant face, took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to the little eunuch next to him...
