Chapter 9 Rewards

On the third day after the war, Gan Chongyue's confidant and chief clerk came to Weining Fort. It can be seen how much Gan Chongyue attached it to him. Qin Zhao and Yuan Wenshu welcomed him outside the east gate and refused to mention it.

In the end, everyone was very satisfied. The confidant and chief clerk of Duke Li went back to report with satisfaction. As for why it was of course a yellow and white thing, this was actually a matter of course.

Is Gan Chongyue not clear? Of course he knew, but why did everyone keep their heads trying to fight for their lives in the army? It was not for promotion and wealth, so generals at all levels of the Great Wei Dynasty military acknowledged this matter.

Qin Zhao was also relieved after seeing off the two envoys. Yuan Wenshu didn't know who the confidant was, but he knew very well that he was the son of Duke Li's personal guards who could no longer be trusted.

This person has a bad reputation. Lion often speaks loudly but he didn't expect that he would be so easy to talk about this time? In fact, Qin Zhao really underestimated that person. Let's say that, there are two secrets that people can survive until now. First, those with deep backgrounds remain unchanged, and those who pay attention to the second king will remain unchanged.

This time, both were occupied. Yuan Wenshu was a nobleman and his country's prince attached great importance to it, so he was extremely polite this time.

I remember the one whom the Duke of the State valued so much last time, and now he has gone to the Ministry of War. If it were Qin Zhao himself this time, he would not be so easy to talk to.

Yuan Wenshu was still thinking that this brother was really good. He had a similar temper. He was serious about his background. Why was he also the son of the Duke's personal guards, and he was no worse than his concubine's son of the down-and-out Earl's Mansion. The two of them seemed to have a chance to see it at first sight. Qin Zhao was deeply moved by the side.

Gan Chongyue sat in the study room of the Northwest Commander's Office and listened to the two of them's reply. He heard his blood boiling and shouted three times in a row, and waved his hand to let the chief clerk go down.

He directly ordered his confidant: "After a while, you will take my memorial for eight hundred miles and submit it to His Majesty, and then go back to the mansion to tell his wife that she has nothing to do on weekdays and that no one will say much about their relationship with the wife. After all, they are all noble families."

"My nephew understands, don't worry, I will definitely do it properly," Yes, in private, this one is called Duke Li Guo as his nephew.

After Duke Li wrote the memorial, he handed it to his confidant and asked him to return to Beijing to present it to His Majesty. Then he called the generals to discuss the matter for a while and waited for everyone to arrive. Gan Chongyue said directly: "I have already written the memorial and sent someone to the capital."

"The prime minister will soon have an imperial edict to be sent down. You must be prepared. I guess the war is coming soon. Since most of Qin Zhao's soldiers have gone to Weining Fort, let Qian Jun guard Fengzhou first."

Later, he said some other things and let all the generals go back. In fact, the reason why he arranged this way was not that he had any dissatisfaction with Qin Zhao. On the contrary, he was very satisfied, but he could not have all good things taken over by one person. Although Qin Zhao did not have much credit for Yuan Wenshu this time, he was stable in his promotion to the level.

Not to mention Yuan Wenshu, according to previous examples, he would be promoted to two levels and rewarded with an imperial farm, not to mention other gold, silver and silk.

You should know that Yuan Wenshu is only 18 years old this year. After being promoted to two levels, he is a fifth grade. How many people have been in the fifth grade for decades?

The man who held the memorial ran for three days before entering Beijing. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he shouted, "A great victory in the northwest," and shouted all the way to the palace gate. After verifying his identity, the good news will be taken over by the internal officials of the palace gate.

Then it was passed to the main hall one by one and presented it to Emperor Yongxing by the eunuch. Yes, it was just the time of the court meeting. Emperor Yongxing was still listening to Zhou Fangxing, the Minister of Revenue, saying that the Ministry of Revenue would earn one million taels more money this year than last year.

Just when Emperor Yongxing was happy, he received a good news from the northwest. Emperor Yongxing opened the memorial and read it for a while and said with a laugh: "Okay. OK, Duke Li will live up to my expectations this time. Come and show all the ministers to see the courage of my soldiers in the Great Wei."

The eunuch took the memorial with both hands and handed it to Han Zhang, the chief assistant of the cabinet. After Han Zhang saw the memorial, he was shocked and handed it to several other cabinet ministers. Emperor Yongxing waited for a while and saw that the cabinet and the six ministers had read it, and then asked Li Nei to read the memorial.

The reason why it was not read directly was that in Duke Li Guo’s memorial, there were not many parts to report victory and request merit. Most of the remaining ones were situation analysis and wars in the northwest were about to be fought. This was the main meaning of this memorial Emperor Yongxing also wanted the ministers to know it.

"When you have it, tell me, how can the heroes of this great victory give me some ideas first?" Hearing his Majesty's Notice, the Minister of War Qin Duke Liu Wei took the quest: "Go back to Your Majesty, according to the past practices, General Qin Zhao of Ningyuan was promoted to one level, and rewarded several gold, silver and silk. The Captain of Zhaowu Yuan Wenshuyao was promoted to two levels, and rewarded several gold, silver and silk and silk, and a royal village."

"Oh? Is Yuan Wenshu's reward a little less?" "Your Majesty has been like this as usual."

"In the past, there was no such record in the past, right? By the way, who is Yuan Wenshu? Do you know about it?"

Wang Qingyuan, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, went out to work; "As far as I know, Yuan Wenshu is the third son of Yuan Weixin's family, Zhongqin Bo."

"Oh? No, I remember that Zhongqin Bo has only two sons, so how can I get a third son? Your Majesty Yuan Wenshu is a concubine, and I am not known to outsiders. I only learned about this after working with Zhongqin Bo."

"Oh, so that's it. By the way, I'm OK with Bo Zhongqin?"

"Your Majesty Zhongqin Bo has not been to court today when he is sick."

"I have won such a beautiful victory after being a nobleman. Then I can't be stingy. I will add one level to three levels. Choose a bigger one in the imperial village. As for the dispatch, let Duke Li arrange it himself. That's it."

Seeing His Majesty's meaning was to stop, Liu Wei returned silently. After that, Emperor Yongxing asked some questions. The relevant opinions on the Northwest War were to raise food and grass and mobilize troops to reinforce. In fact, there was no need for reinforcements because the Northwest had been hoarding half of the elite troops of the Great Wei, and only the food and grass were needed.

It’s a pity that Emperor Yongxing was just happy because the Ministry of Revenue’s annual income this year was one million taels more than last year. This joy has not passed yet, and it may not be enough.

Speaking of which, the confidant of Li Guogong sent the memorial to the meeting and rested for a while. Seeing that the court meeting had no intention of summoning, General Manager Li sent someone to come and asked him to go back.

In the side hall of the backyard of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, the Duke’s wife was listening to him: “Madam, the Yuan family’s Sanlang made such great contributions this time, I believe that the reward will be no less. Seeing that the Yuan family is about to take shape, Duke Guo asked me to tell you that there is nothing wrong with you on weekdays and walk around with the Zhongqin Bo’s Mansion. The Duke is very optimistic about this son’s future.”

"Oh, have you ever seen the Yuan Sanlang? What kind of person is it?"

"Reply to Madam: I saw him once very extraordinary. I and I hit it off at first sight. I made an appointment to go back to Beijing to play with Yanlai Pavilion."
