Chapter 261(1/2)
Hearing Chen Xiao's words, the ministers present were completely shocked.
What did Chen Xiao say? He also...want a city?
What is said...the wind and clouds are light? It's understatement?
The emperor also looked at Chen Xuan in confusion and said:
"What did you say? You want a city?"
Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes, after all, they asked for a truce. Since we won, we have to conquer a half-battery, right?"
The emperor said, "You didn't occupy other people's city!"
"Yes, I didn't take it, but I won. I will always give me a city? Otherwise, what's the point of fighting? The war does not involve territory, so who fights?"
What Chen Xiao said is so righteous!
But the emperor felt something was wrong.
"You mean... you didn't capture the city, but you won the war, so you have to ask someone for a city?"
Chen Xiao nodded: "Is it reasonable?"
Ministers: It’s reasonable for you, you robber!
The emperor coughed twice and said, "Southern Xinjiang... gave it?"
"I have to give it. If I don't give it, can I let the negotiating minister go back alive? If I say, if I don't give it, I will continue to fight myself. It depends on whether they gave me a city or I will conquer a country!"
Chen Xiao said rationally.
But the emperor looked at Chen Xiao with the look of "You are really unreasonable".
At the same time, I thought to myself that this king of southern Xinjiang is pitiful, maybe he would be forced to be like by Chen Xiao.
The son was killed by Chen Xiao, and he came by himself, but was fooled by Chen Xiao.
He led his troops to attack Long Kingdom, and met Chen Xuan, an opponent who did not play according to common sense.
As a result, I lost without fighting.
They redeem people, lose money, cede land, and pay tribute...
Too broken...
The emperor rubbed his forehead and thought to himself that he was also the lord of a country, and he felt sad for the king of southern border!
Then he looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Now... it should be gone!"
Chen Xiao nodded: "I am really embarrassed to mention other requests!"
Everyone rolled their eyes and thought, it's all like this, you still said you're embarrassed to mention it? What else do you want to do?
The emperor also smiled bitterly, coughed twice awkwardly, and said:
"Then what... No matter what, Chen Xiao, this time you have demonstrated our country's power and established majesty for our Dragon Kingdom.
Although your robber's approach...hehe, I feel a little disgusted. But it is undeniable that you have made great contributions and made great achievements for the Dragon Kingdom."
As he said that, he stood up and took a deep breath:
"I will immediately grant Chen Xiao the first class Xiaoyao Hou, and the same as the third duke. I will also... withdrew from my original position and will be the new Right Minister of the Ministry of War!"
Many ministers' faces changed, "Assistant Minister of War?"
That's the third grade.
It is already awesome to have a title of military officer.
You should know that in the Long Kingdom, the two titles of Duke and Marquis are far superior to those of Bo Zinan.
The Duke and Master Hou are basically at the same level as the front-line ministers of the court.
The same position as the three ministers.
The third duke is the Taifu, Taishi, and Taibao.
These three identities are first-class, and although they have no real power, they have a very high status.
Therefore, Master Monkey's status is equal to first-rate.
In addition, there are a third-rank military official position with actual power. How many in the court can compete with Chen Xiao?
At this moment, Chen Xiao disagreed and bowed calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then he looked up: "Actually..."
"What actually?" asked the emperor.
Chen Xiao said: "Actually, if you don't have an official position or a title, it doesn't matter. You just want to be your son-in-law, look..."
The emperor's old face suddenly sank: "Hmph, I'm thinking about my daughter all day long!"
Although he recognized Chen Xiao, he didn't want to give his daughter to Chen Xiao so early.
Chen Xiao told the emperor that he was unhappy and curled his lips, not daring to say more.
After all, this kind of plaguing others with cabbage is indeed a pain!
Fortunately, the emperor is in a good mood today.
Maybe because Chen Xiao made great contributions, he still spoke:
"What happened between you and Jiuer...I...is...accepted!"
Chen Xiao was stunned and immediately smiled.
All civil and military officials also looked at the emperor in surprise.
At the beginning, although everyone knew that the Ninth Princess liked Chen Xiao, she even even got married.
However, they are not optimistic and think that this matter cannot be accomplished!
But now, what do these meanings?
Be accomplished?
In this way, Chen Xiao will have another identity soon...
Prince Consort?
This is a hammer, who can fight him?
At this moment, the ministers who were not very good at dealing with Chen Xiao were desperate.
"Your Majesty, are you serious? Then when can you get married?"
Chen Xiao couldn't wait to ask, although he had a wedding last time, wasn't it done?
So, it certainly doesn't count very much.
Besides, can the emperor's daughter get married so casually?
It must be more grand!
The emperor had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, I will let the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heavenly Prison choose a good day!"
The Minister of Rites immediately set out:
"Please rest assured, your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites will definitely choose the best day!"
Chen Xiao nodded to the Minister of Rites with satisfaction, looking like a child can teach!
The morning court is here and it's over!
Chen Xiao was called to the imperial study room and focused on and talked about the war in detail.
The emperor was so happy, maybe he was too happy, so he told Chen Xiao about getting married to the Ninth Princess!
Chen Xiao can be said to have reached the sky in one step.
Before, he was promoted step by step with his fame and political achievements, but he did not become a high-ranking official.
This time, he made great contributions and shocked the government and the people.
The emperor directly gave it to the Marquis and the Third-rank Assistant Minister, who was from the Ministry of War.
It can really be said to have reached the top in one step.
His current status, identity, strength, and other aspects are enough to make him the emperor's son-in-law and enough to make him marry any princess.
In addition, he had such a relationship with the Ninth Princess, so the emperor naturally had nothing to say.
He looked at Chen Xiao and sighed:
"Remember, what I had to do with you?"
Chen Xiao: "That's too much. I wonder what you are talking about?"
"I said, it is difficult...it's very difficult...it's impossible..." the emperor recalled.
Chen Xiao remembered and laughed:
"Yes, at that time, I didn't understand what you meant. No one expected that she was a princess, nor did you expect... you were the emperor!"
To be continued...
