Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 293 Gifts
After the DPRK and Central officials finished, it was the turn of the county guards who returned to Beijing to report on their duties.

Present the gift that has already been prepared, and get compliments from Ying Zheng whether intentionally or unintentionally, and leave satisfied.

Only a few county-level officials came this time, all of whom made outstanding contributions to the smallpox incident.

At the beginning, I was busy with vaccinia vaccination, and later I was busy with post-disaster reconstruction work, so I had no time or energy to find gifts for His Majesty.

But after all, he was meeting the emperor, so he couldn't be perfunctory.

Together, several people found the local people, and compiled their gratitude to the imperial court into a book one by one, and presented it to His Majesty.

After receiving several thick booklets, Ying Zheng thought they were summarizing the disaster situation.

I was a little surprised in my heart for a moment, after all, I reported it immediately when they first entered Beijing.

But after all, it is a smallpox-stricken area, and he can understand that he has no time to prepare gifts.

As long as the people are appeased, that is the best gift for him.

I flipped through it casually, and it was densely packed with handwriting.

Looking at one of the pages, Ying Zheng read it carefully.

"Your Majesty, Wang Ergou, the county official of Qu County, bows down! In this epidemic, Xiaomin's parents are gone. If there is no cowpox developed by the imperial court, Xiaomin, his wife, and their son may not be able to survive. It's..."

"For His Majesty's great kindness, Xiaomin has nothing to repay. The imperial court distributed two chickens and laid nearly forty eggs in a month. Xiaomin was not willing to eat them, so the county magistrate brought them to you. Please make up for them." Replenish the body...

"Your Majesty, you must take good care of your health. The family of three will pray every day for His Majesty's health. I pray that my Great Qin will be prosperous. May Your Majesty live forever!"

After glancing at the present presented by Zhang Fangfang, he saw the egg on the top at a glance.

With a slight smile, Ying Zheng was quite relieved.

Turn the page again and read it again.

"Li Er, the county citizen of Huang County, bows down to His Majesty, Your Majesty has lived for ten thousand years! Xiaomin is illiterate, these are dictated by Xiaomin, and the officials in the county write for Xiaomin, but don't worry, Your Majesty, these are all from Xiaomin's heart..."

"Back when Xiaomin was infected with smallpox, the county magistrate ordered him to be locked up with other infected people. He watched the living come in and the dead go out all day. Xiaomin felt abandoned and lived in panic all day long. I don't know what to do...

"Xiaomin is guilty. Was he still scolding the imperial court in his heart? I hope His Majesty will make amends! Until one day, the imperial court sent people to try our best to treat us patients. Although some people still died, Xiaomin saw hope. ...

"In the end, Xiaomin's smallpox was cured. Although there were pockmarks on his face, at least his life was safe! Now Xiaomin works in a factory built by the imperial court. Not only does he get money, he also eats well and lives well. Xiaomin Couldn't be more grateful for that..."

next.

"Your Majesty, grandpa, ten thousand years! Xiaoli is five years old this year. Daddy and mother said that you saved our family's life. This is Xiaoli's favorite little wooden horse. Daddy made it for me. Daddy said he would bring it to me. Good luck!"

"Now Xiaoli is giving the little wooden horse to Grandpa His Majesty, and he will bring you good luck too. You must keep him well and don't lose it! May Grandpa Your Majesty live a long life!"

This is basically the case in the brochures presented.

There are no gorgeous words, no hypocritical flattery, and the simple words reveal all gratitude.

And in that pile of gifts, there are all kinds of things.

Eggs, pancakes, cloth...

That old wooden horse must belong to Xiao Li!
These gifts may seem insignificant, but in his heart, they are extremely important.

Perhaps because of watching it for a long time, Ying Zheng's eyes were a little sour.

He closed the booklet in his hand, smiled and looked at the county magistrates below.

"You have done a good job. These things have won my heart, and I will reward you a lot! If you encounter any problems in the construction of the county, please send me the memorial at any time!"

Zhang Ping and the others hurriedly thanked each other, and then retreated to the end of the line and stood with their heads bowed.

Some officials in the palace whispered when they saw them carrying gifts.

I didn't see you taking so many souvenirs just now, but now that you're serious about giving gifts, what are you taking?

Fortunately, they were able to distinguish the occasion and did not sneer on the spot.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, everyone was completely afraid to say anything.

The pilgrimage has been going on for so long, and so many gifts have been given.

At most, His Majesty would give a few words of verbal praise, and sometimes even just nodded.

Before that, no one was rewarded at all.

But when these county magistrates came out, His Majesty actually rewarded them.

What this means, I am afraid that no one is clear.

Leaving aside what will happen in the future, at least in today's court meeting, the gifts from these people completely won His Majesty's heart.

For a moment, the court fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, Ying Zheng regained his composure.

Looking at the ministers in the palace, he said in a deep voice.

"I never thought that I would ask you to give me some precious gifts. As an official, if you manage the people in the government well and let them not worry about food and drink, you have done a good job..."

"The minister is ashamed, the minister understands!"

After mentioning the point, Ying Zheng didn't say anything more.

He just told Xiaoxi to put all the things in the side hall.

I let the kitchen cook the food for myself every day, and put the rest there so that I can see it at any time.

The hearts of the courtiers, who had already let go, lifted up again in an instant.

Your Majesty actually attaches so much importance to this matter, after the court breaks up, you must inquire about what Zhang Ping and the others have shown His Majesty.

Maybe try according to their method, next year I can also come out on top and win His Majesty's favor.

After the palace staff packed up all those things, the process began to continue down.

This time, it was naturally the turn of the only son-in-law, Liu Bai.

After all, the identities of the young masters must have appeared at the finale.

Just when Liu Bai was about to go out, Fu Su grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you let me go first!"

Looking at him in surprise, Liu Bai asked in doubt.

"The rules are here, how can I let you go first?"

Fusu was still tugging on his sleeve firmly.

What Liu Bai said just now had a great impact on him.

Although his expression looked cynical, as if he was joking, but Fusu knew that if he dared to say so, the gift he offered would definitely compare them.

At that time, what is the use of his last gift?
How can the father remember these people and what they gave?
Seeing Liu Bai's refusal, Fu Su passed him directly and stepped forward.

"Father, brother-in-law's gift still needs to be prepared, why don't I let my son-in-law go first!"

Gazing at him inexplicably, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

Only then did Fusu feel relieved, and carefully took out a beautiful box from his bosom.

"Father, my son specially ordered the craftsman to make a rhinoceros horn cup and dedicated it to Father, may Father be in good health!"
