Chapter 73 Windy Beam 2

In the palace, the mood of Zhao Zhe, the emperor of the emperor, was completely opposite to those of those ministers. He laughed happily and put his hands together to worship the void and said, "God has eyes. My ancestors bless you! Wang Chong really didn't disappoint me. Under such circumstances, he could quickly capture the Black Mountain Cliff, and now those people will have a headache!" With that, the emperor looked carefully at the manuscript of the good news again, with a smile on his face.

Huang Yue saw it behind him and was also happy. Over the years, he had not seen the emperor so happy for a long time. Now the news of Wang Chong's victory can make the emperor feel so happy, and he, a slave, is also very happy for his master.

After reading the good news again, the emperor put it back on the case, and then appreciated the saying, "This Xu Jinghong did not let me go astray. Since he has made great contributions in this battle, his ability must not be small. In this way, I should do what I originally planned!"

"This son is indeed very unusual. It only takes a year to enter the army to be so valued by General Wang. If it can be cultivated again, in a few years, there will be one more god of war in the army of the Song Dynasty!" Huang Yue was also busy and said something funny.

"It's just that there is no time for him to continue to hone in the army now. I need him to come to the capital now to serve me!" A trace of light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and the color of joy slowly faded away: "What do you think those people will react after reading this good news?"

Although the identity of the person mentioned was not specified, Huang Yue naturally understood that the emperor was referring to the seven important ministers in the court. After he was stunned, he said, "This... They must have a headache and are very worried now, afraid that they will take risks and completely cover up the news of this victory..."

"No, they can't do this!" The emperor shook his head repeatedly: "And the strategy they set before had to be changed under such circumstances. If they still want to turn the Western Expeditionary on the pretext of food and fodder, then they will be criticized by the government and the opposition.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Looking at the emperor's expression, Huang Yue already knew that he had made a decision.

"Huang Yue, what I need to do this time is to spread the matter quickly and let everyone in the world know the victory of Southwest. In this way, their deployment can be disrupted, and they can be brought into the court before they have come to a conclusion, so that I can lead all this.

Huang Yue is not so optimistic about this statement: "Your Majesty, even if it really spreads the matter all over the city and forces them to bring it to the surface, there is no opportunity for us. Most of the officials in the court are their people. How can they be used by us?

"Of course these people will not be used for me." The emperor said that his eyes were a little gloomy, and he thought it was also sad. Zhao Zhe, the son of heaven, had almost no trusted ministers in the court. The only ones he could rely on was a waiter like Huang Yue and those who were in the world and could not stand on the table. In a blink of an eye, the emperor adjusted his mentality and whispered, "But this is much better than giving them enough time to reach a consensus, right? Moreover, I don't want much now. I just want to keep Wang Chong's current status and transfer Xu Jinghong to the capital. As long as we move fast enough, they will not be able to make corresponding preparations.

"Then the old slave will arrange it. After tomorrow, the news of this victory will be known to everyone in the capital!"

Huang Yue did not lie. After noon the next day, the news of the victory in Southwest quickly spread throughout Daliang City. All the people and low-level officials began to talk about the Southwest Victory. Everyone appreciated the layout of the southwest of the court and believed that the court should reward those who were born and died this time. The soldiers.

Things could no longer be covered, and the Tongzheng Yuan had to send Wang Chong's original good report to the palace. Although the imperial power has been divided andjia kong by the seven masters, it still needs to be made in front of the world.

In the evening of that day, there was news from the palace that the ministers would enter the palace early tomorrow morning to discuss the reward for the southwest soldiers. This is also the proper meaning of the question. The minister handed in the report just to hold this court meeting.

You should know that the dynasty of the Song Dynasty will not go to the Ming and Qing Dynasties that appeared in the history of another life of Xu Jinghong, but divided into large and small dynasties. On the first day of each month, the 11th and 21st of each month are the big dynasty, and the 5th, 15th and 25th are the small dynasty. The big dynasty is that officials above the sixth grade in the capital will be present, while the small dynasty is only enough for the small nine ministers to be present. With the fall of imperial power, the court meeting is even rarer. Although April is already the third day of the lunar month, the court meeting has never been held. Now because of this matter, it is necessary to set up a dynasty, which is enough to see how much the court attaches to this matter.

As soon as the sky was slightly dawn, hundreds of ministers above the sixth grade in Beijing appeared and waited in front of the Huiji Gate of the imperial city. As time came to Mao, the closed palace gate slowly opened slowly in the sound of the crisp whip. Then the ministers entered the palace step by step from the Huiji Gate in a neat team of their own grades and came to the Zhongji Hall in the early morning to participate in the court meeting. Only at this time can the ministers look like ministers, and only in their hearts suddenly realize the existence of the emperor!

After standing in the class, Ye Mingyang, who was in the second position of Wenchen, glanced over the important ministers in the court beside him and thought to himself, "Who is this who spread the news and makes things impossible to delay?" After learning that the news of the victory in the southwest had spread all over the city, he was very angry and confused.

I was going to discuss how to deal with those people today, but I didn't expect to get it in a blink of an eye. In this way, there is no unified opinion. What should they say when the emperor asks?

Ye Mingyang's most suspicious nature is Lv Zhonghe. Although he is one of the seven masters, the prime minister of the current dynasty, unlike other powerful ministers, still wants to safeguard the imperial power. If he deliberately released this news, it makes sense. But Ye Mingyang couldn't figure out what the other people were secretly thinking, and it was also a target that he suspected.

In fact, it's not just Ye Mingyang. Other important ministers have been thinking about such a question now - who spread the news? Although they also doubt whether this was the emperor's secret tampering, they did not delve into each other when they thought of the suppression of the imperial power.

This was an unexpected effect, and this incident caused a new crisis of trust between the seven people. However, when Zhao Zhe came to the hall, sat on the throne, listened to the ministers shouting long live, and stood neatly under the steps, he was still extremely happy, because now things have been controlled by him.

After the ministers stood still, the emperor said, "I am very happy today!" The southwest army finally played the prestige of our Song Dynasty. In just a few days, the former Wu could not be taken down, and the Song Dynasty also took down the Black Mountain Cliff, which could not be done many times. Therefore, today I called all the ministers to the court to discuss how to reward the front-line soldiers. Do you have any opinion on this?" With that, the emperor's eyes had swept over the main members of the seven people in the hall.

In the palace, when the ministers held a meeting, a woman in the back house of the Xu family was also staring at the man in front of her, as if she was about to get angry: "How long do you want to hide it from me?" It was Xu Wanyou's wife Fang who spoke, and in front of him was naturally Xu Wanquan who had colluded with him.

At this time, there was no one around the yard where they were located, which was arranged by Fang. Originally, this small courtyard was the place where she and Xu Wanquan did the lingering things. Those servants had already been strictly ordered, saying that this was the place where the wife worshiped the Buddha. Once the lady entered, she could not be disturbed, so there would be no mistakes today.

It's just that today, Fang didn't come to do that with Xu Wanquan, but to plead guilty. Thinking that this person cheated himself, saying that he would vent his anger on himself and his son, kill Xu Jinghong, and then lied himself and did this shameless business. But in the end, he found that Xu Jinghong, who should have died for a long time, had become a meritorious official in the court. How could Fang endure it?

Xu Wanquan was silent, because he didn't know what he should say. And his silence made Fang even more angry: "How did you promise before? It turns out that all this is your lie. I'm really confused. I can't believe your nonsense. You obviously have ulterior motives..."

"Sister-in-law, listen to my explanation. I'm not unwilling to except that person, it's really..." Xu Wanquan opened his mouth to defend, but was immediately interrupted by Fang: "What explanation, you are completely deceiving me. You lied to my body and wanted to deny it, so you refused to do anything for me. You..." For a moment, you couldn't find words to scold each other.

Seeing that the other party was more and more rude, Xu Wanquan suddenly shouted, "Enough!" Fang was really scared by the other party's words and looked at him in a frenze. Then he slowed down and said, "Listen to my explanation. Isn't there nothing I can do? You also saw the post of Shadow Killing Hall. It's a very true thing. How can I fake it? But who would have thought that even the Shadow Killing Hall couldn't kill him and finally returned the deposit. I really had no way to hide it from you. Aren't you afraid that you will be angry?"

"What are you talking about? Did Ying Killingtang return the silver? Fang asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I didn't believe there would be such a thing at that time, but the three times the silver is true!"

"How could this happen... What on earth does that wild seed have to make the shadow killing hall dare not attack him?" After muttering a few words, Fang looked at Xu Wanquan suspiciously: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"The silver is still with me. If you don't believe it, I'll take it to you later." Xu Wanquan vowed to say it.

"So that's it? As a killer group, they can't complete the entrustment, but the loss can't be counted, right? Fang was very unwilling and said, "Why don't you think about other methods?"

"What else can I do? Shadow Killing Hall is not something you and I can afford to provoke, and they returned the silver ticket. I don't know at all. If I really offend them, I'm afraid my life will not be saved..." Xu Wanquan said bitterly.

"..." Seeing the other party talking so carelessly, Fang was also in a bad temper for a moment. After all, she is a man who has that kind of thing with her, and she is good-looking, interesting, and attractive to her. In fact, most of the matter is also voluntary by her, and she really can't say anything more.

Xu Wanquan also saw this, and he was not very honest at this time. He put his arms around Fang's waist: "I can understand the anger in your heart, but you should also understand my difficulties. I didn't deliberately hide some things from you, but I'm afraid that you will be angry... And aren't I still thinking about how to do it?" While talking, he had launched an "attack" against the other party.

When he touched it like this, Fang's body was also a little hot, but he still said with a straight face, "You shouldn't hide me no matter what you say." With that, he twisted his body and said, "So do you want to argue now? If the wild seed really becomes a climate, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him. And once he really has a certain power, he will definitely not let go of me and those children. Our Xu family has a deep hatred with him.

"I'm still thinking about the method, and I'm looking for a killer assassin again. Although he is good at it, it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows, and there are always times of negligence. As for your fear that he will be promoted, it is not only necessary for him to be promoted. He is not only an enemy of you and me, but also a deep fear of him. He is bound to try to suppress his credit. While talking, Xu Wanquan's movements on his hands were even more presumptuous, and the mask outside Fang had been removed.

Fang Shi was also moved at this time, allowing the other party to take off his clothes little by little, his eyes flashed with excitement, and his breath was disordered, "So I'm relieved, but you can't deceive me anymore..."

"I swear to God that I will never deceive you again in the future... Tinger..." With sweet words, two shameless men and women have come from the front hall to the back bedroom and roll together...

In the court, Xu Wanyou did not know that the green on his head was thicker, and he was still expressing his views: "... Your Majesty, although this victory in the southwest is very rare, it is not the right time to reward him with his achievements. Because the battle over there is still going on, maybe General Wang can create a greater victory. Wouldn't it be better to reward him at that time?

"That's not what I said. It's the rule of the court to reward merit. If it is delayed and no reward is given, it will also be a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers on the front line, which is very unfavorable to the war of our army. So I thought it should be rewarded." The speaker was Zhao Yong, a senior official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who was not under the control of the seven masters in the court.

After hearing this, the emperor eased his unhappy look because of the unanimous agreement of the officials just now: "Yes, this is the old saying. The soldiers on the front line risked their lives to fight against the barbarians. Now they have taken such a record, but the court does not reward them. May I ask what they think? Who else will contribute to the court in the future? Prime Minister Lv, Ye Situ, Xu Sima, Wu Sikong, what do you think about this?

The four people asked by the emperor are the four highest-ranking people today - Lv Zhonghe, Ye Mingyang, Wu Jingzi, and Xu Wanyou's father, Xu Zhengnian, Zhongyong Marquis. What I answered just now was the help of some seven people in the court, but the only big man who spoke was Xu Wanyou. But now the emperor has thrown the problem to the four real bosses, which is going to be settled

The four looked at each other, and Ye Mingyang opened this mouth first: "In my humble opinion, it is natural to be rewarded for making great achievements, and the court can't chill the hearts of the soldiers in front of it because it wants to save so much money and food. In addition, I think that the court should also be promoted to the old general Wang, so as to really boost the morale of the army ahead, so as to calm down the west in one fell swoop.

The other three were stunned after listening to his words. Obviously, they did not expect Ye Mingyang to have the same opinion as the emperor, especially what kind of idea did he have? Xu Zhengnian's old eyes, which seemed to be dizzy, quietly flashed, and then disappeared again. He said in a hoarse voice, "I think Ye Situ's suggestion is very good, and I second it."

"I also think it's the best." Lv Zhonghe also said in echo.

At this time, the ministers below are a little puzzled. Why did several bigwigs suddenly change the direction of the wind after waiting for so long? However, the owners of the three families have expressed their position, and others naturally dare not insist. At this time, Wu Jingzi nodded after being silent for a while and said, "I think it should be the same, but I don't know how to reward the soldiers on the front line?"

"This naturally has to be planned by the ministers of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War." The emperor laughed and then said, "As for the reward for General Wang, I really didn't think about it. Do you have any opinions?" This is the truth. The emperor never thought that these people would agree with him so easily, so naturally he would not have prepared for Wang Chong's promotion before.

"General Wang has made great contributions to the Song Dynasty all his life, and this time he has won an unprecedented victory. In my opinion, he should be appointed as the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and he should be promoted to * army. There are thousands of households in Shiyi, and his son will enter the court as an official. I don't know what your majesty thinks? Ye Mingyang immediately gave his own idea.

The emperor was also a little stunned. Such a generous reward and promotion don't seem to be given to a threatening opponent. But since this time, he didn't want to retreat, so he nodded and said, "It's so good. What do you think of your family?"

"I think it's very good!" After looking at Ye Mingyang, who smiled mysteriously, they all made a decision.

The emperor was a little worried, but now, he can only accept it. However, he did not stop because of this, but picked up the victory report: "In addition, I have another question that needs to ask your opinions."
