The Alluring Concubine: The Eldest Miss

Chapter 281: Qing Emperor’s Side (3)

As soon as Feng Aotian finished speaking, all the courtiers understood that the wedding of the first female general of the dynasty and the most beloved by the emperor, King Hanjiang, who had repeatedly made outstanding achievements, would be a joyous event that shocked the whole country.

Shen Youjiayan raised his hand to stop the chatting and greetings of all the officials, "Okay, dear friends, let's end this morning, the Ministry of Rites, immediately arrange a celebration banquet. Youshi, Baihua Hall, I want to get drunk with all my dear friends." !"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites knew that what he had just said had offended the emperor, so he didn't dare to speak too much at the moment, and it was not a big deal, so he bowed down to receive the order, "I obey the order!"

"Household!"

As soon as Shen Youjiayan spoke, Chen Jingshan, Minister of the Household Department, immediately responded, "The minister is here!"

"At the wedding of King Hanjiang and Girl Qiwu, let them take whatever they need, but all must be registered in the register. I don't want any unpleasant things to happen when the world is happy!"

Chen Jingshan bent down and cupped his fists, and said extremely decisively: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the subjects must be registered, and no one can take away anything in the treasury except the people from the Hanjiang Palace."

"That's not possible. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be anything that needs to be withdrawn from the treasury these days, but Chen Aiqing, it's good that you have such determination." Shen Youjiayan shook his head with a smile, "Okay, is there any Aiqing who has something to report? , if there is nothing wrong, then retreat."

"Report to Your Majesty, the subject has a memorial!" Feng Aotian walked out with the memorial that he had written earlier.

Seeing that it was Feng Aotian who stood up, Shen Youjiayan said in amazement: "Feng Aiqing, what else do you have, do you have any requirements for the marriage of girl Qiwu?"

"No, Your Majesty, as long as my daughter and King Hanjiang's marriage ministers support her, she will not interfere too much. I ask your Majesty to protect Han Xue for King Hanjiang. As far as I know, in the past few years, King Hanjiang Commanded the three armies to win the Battle of Xijiang, went to Jiangbei to defeat the Nanliang Hezuo army, and this time put down the Nanliang Rebellion. The Hanxue guards made great contributions in the middle, and the cold rain and cold wind with her all have the rank of fourth-rank generals Well, because my daughter has not been given a fair reward all the time, today I am honored by His Majesty to confer my daughter as the Great General to Protect the Country. I implore Your Majesty, since this precedent has been set, please give Hanxue Guard a fair title by the way. "

After Feng Aotian finished speaking, McKellon also stood up, "Your Majesty, Hanxue Guard's record in Jiangbei and the soldiers of the Feng Family Army are obvious to all. In order not to chill the hearts of those who are capable, please give Hanxue Guard a suitable identity, so as to spur her to make persistent efforts and share the worries for His Majesty."

"Duke Protector, Lord of Loyalty, there is no precedent for a female general to be conferred in the hundreds of years since the founding of our dynasty. It is already an exception to be named a first-rank general to protect the country. It would be inappropriate for His Majesty to confer a female guard again, right? "

"Yes, Your Majesty, Hanxue is originally the guard of King Hanjiang, and it is only natural to carry out King Hanjiang's orders and make some contributions to the war. If necessary, just reward some gold and silver brocades and canonize him as an official. Is it too much?"

"Then Master Wu is also a courtier of His Majesty. If His Majesty orders the next war or when it is necessary, can Master Wu also go through life and death, shrouded in horse leather?"

With a clear and angry voice, Feng Xiwu walked into the Chengqian Palace in a luxurious royal blue palace attire, walked to the position of a first-rank official and stood still, "General Feng Xiwu, who protects the country, sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Long live!"

"Girl Xiwu, didn't Han'er say that you are tired and resting? Why don't you rest a little longer?" When Shen Youjiayan saw Feng Qiwu, his eyes lit up.

However, Feng Qiwu did not show the delicate and pretty appearance to Shen Youliehan in private, but replied sternly: "Your Majesty, as soon as the war is over, I should return to Beijing to report the results of the Warring States Period and the negotiation, because some trivial matters After lingering in the mansion for a while, I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I came here, this is the original agreement of this negotiation, with a list of tributes attached, the tributes are right outside the gate of the hall, and can be brought up at any time."

"Okay, girl Xiwu, let someone carry the things in first. I'll take a look at the negotiation agreement and list first." Shen Youjiayan said as he walked off the high platform and stood in front of Shen Youlietu, "You guys also look at it together."

"Yes, father." The two brothers stood up.

Feng Qiwu didn't speak directly, but said to Xu Fu who was at the top, "Eunuch Xu, please, the person who escorted the tribute is Hanfeng, please tell him."

"You're welcome, General, I'm going right away." Xu Fu saluted Feng Qiwu slightly, and walked out with small steps.

Only then did Feng Qiwu turn around and salute several people, "Qiwu met his father, met Mr. Liu Xiangye, Mr. Maihou."

McKaylong clasped his fists at Feng Qiwu, "You are welcome, General, now you are a first-rank official like us, we can't afford such a big gift from you!"

Feng Qiwu laughed boldly, "Master Hou, don't make fun of the younger generation. No matter how high the title is, no matter how high the rank is, you are also the elders recognized by the younger generation. As long as you are the elders who are recognized by the younger generation, you can afford the younger generation. salute."

"The good daughter taught by Lord Huguo, this mouth can really coax people!" Liu Xiang walked to Feng Aotian's side, and joked with the father and daughter with one sentence.

Feng Aotian also accepted it cheerfully, walked to Feng Qiwu's side and patted Feng Qiwu's shoulder, "When you come back, you don't go home to see your father, what's the matter with staying in the prince's mansion all the time?"

"It's okay, I've occupied the magpie's nest, the palace is now my base, what's wrong with me living on my own site?" Feng Qiwu hugged Feng Aotian's hand and acted like a baby.

Seeing this, Shen Youliehan came over and stood beside Feng Qiwu, "Didn't you bring gifts for the adults, why don't you take them out now, and save yourself a special trip later."

"That's right." Feng Qiwu let go of Feng Aotian's arm, stretched out his hand, and a half-meter-high box appeared on the ground. Feng Qiwu looked at his cumbersome and hard palace attire, with one hand on his hip and one finger Shen Youliehan: "I can't squat down here, come on."

"My lord, let the subordinates come down." Han Feng brought in a row of boxes and heard Feng Qiwu's words.

"Okay, you come." Shen Youliehan quickly stood aside, took Feng Qiwu's shoulders and stood aside, "Isn't the gift you prepared happened to be prepared by Hanfeng? It's just right, let him choose, it's the most suitable .”

Feng Qiwu didn't mind either, anyway, the presents had already been brought out, whoever picked them would be given by her, she walked to the center, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, these are the supplies for this negotiation in Nanliang, stop here and leave. A total of 1000 million taels of gold, and countless treasures, gold and silver wares, [-] catties of rare medicinal materials in Nanliang, and [-] good horses in Nanliang. The horses are not easy to transport, so they will be left at the border and handed over to Licheng Sima Cao Zhiyong. If your majesty needs it, You can send people to bring the horses back in batches."

"Didn't the general say that there are 1000 catties of medicinal materials and [-] million taels of gold, why are there only these jewels here?"

As soon as the yin and yang voice fell, Feng Qiwu immediately looked at the person who spoke with the eyes of caring for a fool, and then looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, "I know all the officials above the fourth rank in the court, who are you?"

When Han Feng heard this person's words just now, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at that person. Hearing Feng Qiwu's words, he stammered and said, "Oh, miss, this is Fu Hong, a scholar of the Imperial Academy."

"Oh, a Grand Scholar!" Feng Qiwu and Grandma Liu looked the Grand Scholar up and down as if seeing a Grand View Garden, "Are you really a Grand Scholar?"

Hearing Feng Qiwu's words, Fu Hong's whole body was about to wake up, and he felt like he could eat people, "General, what are you talking about? The old man has been a scholar of the Imperial Academy for three generations. I have been in the Imperial Academy for thirty years. Isn’t it a bachelor who still wants to question?”

"30 years is indeed not short. It's almost half the time I was born." Feng Qiwu touched his chin and nodded, then Fu Hong's face looked a little better, but Feng Qiwu continued: "But You have been a bachelor for 30 years, how can you still be so stupid when you talk, 1000 million taels of gold and [-] catties of herbs are all brought to Chengqian Hall, even without these hundreds of officials, what do you think here? Can you fit it?"

After Feng Qiwu finished speaking, some young and restless officials were already laughing, Fu Hongqi blushed and had a thick neck, but Feng Qiwu didn't give him a chance to breathe and gave him a strong dose of medicine, "Oh, I'll just Strange, you are a bachelor, why do you patronize me and ask me 2 million taels of gold and 1000 catties of medicinal materials? You said that it would be great if you also asked about the [-] war horses by the way, wouldn't it be complete? "

"Feng Qiwu!" Fu Hong pointed at Feng Qiwu's trembling fingers with his thick red neck, "This old man has stood in the Tianhua court for thirty years, and you can't help being humiliated like this!"

"Humiliation?" Feng Qiwu reprimanded coldly, "Standing in the court for thirty years, besides relying on the old to sell the old, you talk about what contribution you have made to Tianhua, did you kill an enemy soldier, or did you contribute to the frontline soldiers? I bought some food, grass and clothes, and the worst thing is, did you give a useful suggestion to the late emperor and His Majesty in the court?"

"you??????"

Needless to say, Fu Hong couldn't answer any of Feng Qiwu's questions, he was so angry that his whole body was trembling, you, you said twice, and he just fell down like that.

The corners of Feng Qiwu's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Shen Youjiayan, "Your Majesty, these spoils are enough for me to pay taxes to the people for three years, and Han Xue deserves at least one-third of the credit. General Pin, is this too much to ask?"

With palms down, Shen Youjiayan waved his hand reassuringly, "Don't get angry, girl Qiwu, I've already prepared for this. Aren't Han Xue and Han Yu also going to get married? I gave this title to them at their wedding." Wouldn't she be more surprised?"

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for this wedding gift on behalf of Hanxue!" Feng Qiwu sincerely bowed to Shen Youjiayan three times.

Turning around and holding Shen Youliehan's hand, he looked at Shen Youliehuo and Shen Youlietu, "Elder Prince, Your Highness, we want to see my aunt, Concubine Shu and Concubine De, do you want to go together?"

"Go, you must go." Shen Youlie stood up, "You have bought the concubine's thoughts a long time ago. Once you go, the concubine mother, the concubine de concubine, and the empress may find all the delicacies in Jincheng. Come on, wouldn’t it be a pity not to go.”

Shen Youlietu followed them out, "The prince said, let's go together. It just so happens that the two of us haven't seen them for a long time. With you here, help us block it, so we won't be scolded for a long time! "

"I can really calculate, but I promise, with me here, you will be scolded, not the two of us." Feng Qiwu happily walked out holding Shen Youliehan's arm, took a few steps, and then withdrew. "Father, you haven't seen your aunt for a long time, right? Let's go see her together."

"Your Majesty?" Feng Aotian still instinctively sought Feng Aotian's opinion.

Shen Youjiayan waved at him, "Feng Aiqing, you can go, let the queen prepare more good things, and I will come over later."

Feng Aotian bowed respectfully to the person sitting on the high seat, "I obey the order."

Taking advantage of their time of babbling, Fengqi Wuliuxiang and McKaylong clasped their fists to bid farewell, "You two, your gift has been delivered to the younger generation, and the gift for the two ladies will be taken by Mengmeng and Xu Fei later. My lord did not come to the court, if you see them, please tell him, and I will go to the palace when you are free, the junior also prepared a gift for him, after a long time, I am afraid I will lose it!"

McKellon cupped his fists in return, "Don't worry, General, if we see Mr. Gao, we will pass it on."

"That's right, by the way, thank you General for the gift, we all like it very much." Liu Xiang also echoed.

"The junior will take my leave first!" Feng Qiwu nodded with a smile, and it happened that Feng Aotian also came out, so he walked with Feng Aotian.

Walking out of the gate of Chengqian Hall, Feng Qiwu stretched fiercely, "When you mentioned Hanxue canonization just now, apart from that so-called Fu Hong and Master Wu, was there anyone else who behaved particularly abnormally?"

Feng Qiwu originally asked Shen Youliehan and Feng Aotian, but Shen Youlietu preempted him. "Except for those old guys who often talk sourly about ethics, most of them have Dissatisfied, I see that even that Anyang Hou has some objections, but that guy has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, maybe it's because of his father's love for you and his younger brother, so he hasn't opened his mouth all this time."

"It's just a canonization of a female general. It's like picking up their ancestral graves. They always say women are like this and women are like that. Why don't they talk about how important our female guards are on the battlefield?" I know that in this world women will be treated unfairly, but when people around me treat them like this, I still can't suppress the evil fire in my heart.

"Don't be angry." Shen Youliehan held Feng Qiwu's hand in his palm, "Those old men are just strangers who have nothing to do with you and me. Why should you be angry with them? I have never treated you badly because you are a woman, and I will not treat Han Xue either."

"Of course I know that Uncle Emperor doesn't know how to do it, but those old men who only eat empty pay and don't do anything are too annoying!" Feng Qiwu punched hard.

Shen Youlie said "Ouch" and almost fell to the ground without a buttocks. "Sister and sister, I know that you must be very strong to be named a general, but you can't make such a fuss, it will kill you!"

"No, let my little fist beat you to death, even if you go to Huangquan Road, you will be shameless." Feng Qiwu said shamelessly, without apologizing at all.

"It's so good that I let you say it!" Shen Youlie shook his head helplessly, "Brother, let me tell you, don't even think about bickering with her. I haven't won once after knowing her for two years!"

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu wanted to laugh when he remembered the confrontation between Shen Youliehuo and Shen Youlie when he first met him, "Hey, let me tell you, you have been working with these old guys all these years, and you go to court and listen to them blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I can't think of any good way, isn't it very uncomfortable?"

"Actually, not really." Feng Qiwu was asking casually, but Shen Youliehuo honestly thought for a long time before answering, "Actually, these people in the court are always a little twisted, some people are afraid of causing trouble, some people are afraid People who are provocative, who have to think for half an hour to say a word, such people account for the majority in the court."

"So suddenly you, a person who thinks of what to say, won't disrupt their safety!" Shen Youlie took over the words, "Especially that Fu Hong just now, he has no ability, but he is really like you As you said, you can sell old qualifications, but some people buy their old qualifications, I think you are going to poke a hornet's nest like this!"

"Hornet's nest?" Feng Qiwu chuckled, "Just poke it. The hornet's nests I have stabbed over the years are not bad. As long as the emperor is willing, sooner or later we will get rid of these ones that only pay and do nothing." The old guy was cleaned up!"

As soon as Feng Qiwu's words fell, Shen Youlie pulled his sleeves and said extremely nervously: "You can just say this in front of us, but don't say it outside, or the ability of those officials will sooner or later If you can't stay in this court, let alone the emperor and the protector, even the emperor will not be able to protect you."

"Don't worry, take a look, where is this?" Feng Qiwu raised his head slightly, and Shen Youlie also raised his head when he heard the words, "Oh, they have already entered Lingkun Palace, what I said, let's walk together Chat is fast!
It is not a secret that Feng Qiwu entered the palace. When she went to Chengqian Hall, she had already sent Han Xue to deliver the gifts she had prepared for Feng Aoxue, Concubine Ning Shu, and Concubine Zheng De to Lingkun Palace. An Ruo was waiting, Feng Qiwu walked up quickly, "Aunt An Ruo, Aunt Concubine De and Aunt Yuzhi are here?"

"The two ladies have already arrived, and they are waiting for the eldest lady and the prince to come!" An Ruo also stepped forward, answered Feng Qiwu's words, and then bowed to the next few people. The eldest prince and the prince have met the Duke."
