"Oh...you were wrong. Don't you know that since Xie Yuan rescued the precious daughter of Bu Liugu's family, they have gotten closer? His daughter has been bewildered, chasing after that Xie Yuan all day long. Running away, or boasting every time you meet, and never leaving Xie Yuan's name in three sentences. It is inevitable that he, a father, will be affected."

"Then...then why did Master Dugu stay in the city?"

"You don't even know this? Dugujian, the commander of the palace guards, is His Majesty's confidant, and he is also close to Shen Liuzhen. Through Dugujian, he persuaded Lord Dongfang."

"No, I remember that since Xie Yuan came from the Southern Dynasty, that Dugujian didn't have much contact with Shen Liuzhen for a long time, it seems that there is some suspicion."

"Then who knows, I just heard it from others. Recently, Shen Liuzhen has been asking people to ask for connections. Many people know about it, and many people say so."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and someone said:

"Hey... There is Shen Liuzhen, who can dominate the court, but now there is another Xie Yuan, who wants to occupy the army. Your Majesty is really big-hearted. Both of them have a civil and a military, and they are both helpful to the country of our Xianbei people. What's so good?!! Those elders, how can you allow this kind of thing to happen?!"

A few people gathered around like this, chattering, turning their heads from time to time to look at Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen sitting there with disgust.

At this moment, the eunuch came out from the side hall and sang loudly:

"Your Majesty is here, the Queen is here~"

The crowd quickly fell silent, dispersed, returned to their positions, and stood still with their heads bowed.

In the solemn atmosphere of the crowd, Emperor Wu Lei and Empress Feng Boyang came out of the side hall one after the other and went to the main hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live my queen, thousand years old." Everyone shouted.

"Hahahaha... I also wish you all dear friends, get rid of filth and increase blessings, and be healthy every year. That's enough, let's all sit down and talk while sitting." Emperor Ulei smiled heartily and took the lead to sit down.

Empress Feng Boyang was smiling, dignified and demure, and slowly sat beside her.

At the beginning of the banquet, the eunuch read out the list of meritorious officials. Firstly, there were more than 20 heroes from the north and south borders in this year, including Shi Yu Hengjia, who came back from the military town.

These people, at the emperor's discretion, were promoted to a higher level and given money, but not land.

After they retreated, they called Si Yu and the others who were waiting outside the main hall to come in and read out the decree of the gifts. They were not appointed officials or positions, but they were given houses and different amounts of land as appropriate.

Logically speaking, this is fair.

However, land can be passed down from family to family, and land is more valuable than money.

As soon as this decree came out, some of the generals and heroes who had just received the reward were not happy. One of the generals, who was tall and thick, with a beard and eyebrows almost connected together, stood up from his seat carelessly, and directly said:
"Hey?...Why are they able to divide the land, but we don't? Your Majesty, this is not fair. Could it be that our contribution is not as good as that of such a lowly bastard?"

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the most conspicuous Si Yu who stood at the front and said, with a very upset expression.

Si Yu lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but said nothing.

Seeing this Xianbei general so reckless, Xie Yuan was still surprised to be honest.

Although Wei Guo was founded nearly a hundred years ago, there is still a big gap between Xianbei people and Han people in terms of etiquette.

Sometimes, Xie Yuan thinks that their lack of manners is good, because there are not so many rigid rules, and the framed people are uncomfortable, but sometimes they feel that they are too chaotic and have no rules.

Just like now, at the grand banquet in the palace, this person, in front of the ministers, made the emperor unable to step down, and had to be placed in the south.

At this moment, Emperor Ulei uttered a voice. His voice was deep and displeased, and he said directly:

"Do you still lack a little land for them? They came back from the south, and they have no place to live and no property. I reward them with a place to stand. Is it wrong to give them some fields to live?"
I have also promoted your official position, or exchange your official position for their land, do you want it? "

The man was stunned for a moment, his expression obviously hesitant, but still unconvinced, he shook his body and muttered:

"They are lowly slaves, shouldn't they do what they should do? I just feel that His Majesty is giving them too much face..."

Among Siyu and the others, except for some women who are from humble origins, the rest of the Han people are not necessarily from humble origins.This sentence "they are all lowly slaves" is true and offended all the Han officials present.

For a moment, many officials looked at him with sideways glances.

Suddenly there was a loud "pop", everyone was startled, and they looked over according to the prestige. It turned out that it was Emperor Wu Lei who rarely slapped the table, and he sternly said angrily:

"You lowly slave? Can you do what they did?! Do you want to try it?!...I will give face to anyone who has made contributions to Wei! No matter what her birthplace or nationality, I am willing to give it to her!"

As soon as these words came out, Si Yu visibly shook her body, raised her head for the first time, and looked at the young emperor above the main hall.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the distance, or if there is water in my eyes, and I still can't see what he looks like.

Wu Lei's voice was deafening in the hall and echoed for a long time. Many Han people looked at him and were moved in their hearts. Some even raised their sleeves and secretly wiped their tears.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen also felt that the emperor's words were soul-stirring and extremely exciting.

Empress Feng Boyang also looked at Wu Lei with admiration and respect. Seeing that he was really angry, she called out softly, "Your Majesty..."

Wu Lei turned his head and glanced at the queen, and then slowly suppressed his anger. He stared at the general with eyebrows for a while, stretched out a hand in a luxurious manner, pointed at him and said:
"If it wasn't because you are also a hero, I would definitely drive you out and let you talk nonsense here!"

The tone of his words was no longer as severe as before. Instead, it contained some grace and tolerance, and he became more friendly all of a sudden.

The general with even eyebrows touched his head in embarrassment, clasped his fists at Emperor Ulei silly and said:
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, don't be angry, don't be angry, hehehehe..."

Emperor Ulei gave him a blank look, expressing that he was no longer as knowledgeable as him, and then turned his body sideways dignifiedly, making himself more comfortable and relaxed, then turned his head and said to the eunuch:

"Let's have a banquet."

The eunuch responded, took a step forward, and sang loudly: "Banquet~"

With this singing, the music slaves in a corner of the hall played fairy music in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. The palace ladies solemnly carried drinks and food, and filed in...
