Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 564
Not long after the court ended that day, Duke Rong entered the palace again to see the emperor, and talked for about half an hour before leaving. Not long after that, Chen Hanming also entered the palace to ask the emperor, and talked for two quarters of an hour.

In the afternoon, the emperor summoned Hong Shangshu into the palace and talked for half an hour.

The next day in Xiumu, when Duke Rong's mansion sent Dading to the Chen family, Prime Minister Han entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, and was summoned by the emperor, but he left the imperial study room before arriving for a quarter of an hour.

In the afternoon, the emperor summoned the virtuous king.

The emperor met Xie Jue in his small study.

When he saw Xie Jue coming in, he subconsciously looked back.

"Yue'er is much better." Xie Jue said lightly.

"That's good, that's good." After nodding his head and saying a few words, the emperor asked, "It's almost ready? Do you want me to send some more people?"

"No, it's already been repaired, just wait for the flowers and trees to be put away." Xie Jue sat down naturally opposite the emperor, took out a scroll from his sleeve and said, "This is the dowry list, Fifth Uncle, please take a look." .”

The emperor put down the kettle in his hand, motioned for Xie Jue to order some tea, then took the list and opened it to read.

When I saw the first item, my eyelids jumped.

Well, he knew that this nephew was rich, but he was very happy to be so forthright.

Because, this is Su Yue's face.

After reading the list, the emperor was very satisfied and said: "That's right, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick ten sets of heads and put them in."

This kind of betrothal gift list, after the founding of the Song Dynasty, is far inferior to the empress' betrothal gift, as long as some things such as phoenix hairpins that are comparable to the queen's grade are added...

Xie Jue's light tea set was boiling water, and he said lightly, "Uncle Wu, take it easy, nephew doesn't want Yue'er to be questioned by others."

The emperor choked, snorted and said: "I gave it to you, who dares to speak!"

Xie Jue chuckled lightly and said, "How does Uncle Wu plan to treat Zhao Hao?"

"Ah?" The emperor was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't Doctor Kong say that he just wants to cultivate?"

He was so worried that he asked Eunuch He to ask twice a day, and he said that his life was not in danger, but should he lie still for a while?

Xie Jue unknowingly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Hao should have reported the detailed battle report of this battle to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. For such a great achievement, when will the Emperor plan to reward it? "

Ordinarily, on the day Zhao Hao came back, the emperor would have to show something after such a great effort, but now it has been three days...

The emperor was stunned again, and then said with a reddish face: "I was thinking of waiting for Zhao Hao to recover and award him a reward in the hall. I want to make him the Grand Marshal of the Frontier Army, the Great General of Hussars, and the successor of Duke Zhen." I will give you ten thousand taels of gold, one from the farm.”

On the day Zhao Hao arrived, he gave him a memorial with the statistics of the military exploits this time, so that he could have a clear idea, and then he submitted the battle report and the application for military exploits to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. The reward, but he still has some plans in mind.

The other generals don't know, but Zhao Hao has thought about it.

"So, since Fifth Uncle has made up his mind, he doesn't need to wait for General Zhao to get better. He will issue an order as soon as possible to calm down the army." Xie Jue resumed his familiar address and brought a cup of ordered tea to the emperor.

"So, what you said is true, what you said is true." The emperor turned his head and said to Ding Gonggong: "Go and get General Zhao's memorial."

Eunuch Ding quickly took down the military memorial written by Zhao Hao from the desk, and delivered it to Xie Jue respectfully.

Xie Jue held the teapot in his hand, his eyelids were twitching, and he looked up at the emperor.

"Show me." The emperor laughed.

Xie Jue sighed lightly, put down the teapot, took the memorial and read it quickly, and asked, "Is there a memorial from the Ministry of War?"

There are a total of 12 people on Zhao Hao's list, all of whom have made great contributions to this war. The third is Jiang Xiaowei. There are more than a thousand people, and the last one is Rong Shizi. The recorded record is that Wucheng wiped out more than [-] enemies.

Judging from these 12 people, one can roughly see how much success Zhao Hao has achieved in the past few months.

"The Ministry of War said that there are so many military exploits reported by the frontier army that it cannot be counted at the moment." The emperor said with a bitter face.

Xie Jue glanced at the emperor and sighed secretly.

This added up to annihilating more than 17 enemies. According to the practice of the frontier army, if you take more than [-] enemies, you need to apply for military exploits separately. It really needs to be counted.

But these 12 people do not need to be counted for so long.

Those people in the Ministry of War are now trying to trip Zhao Hao, and use the military rewards to play games with Zhao Hao.

"Uncle Wu, these 12 people don't have to wait for the Ministry of War to report them. These are all people of great merit. According to the practice of this dynasty, the emperor can directly reward them." Xie Jue spread the memorial in front of the emperor and said: "Look, this dynasty's military achievements are There is a rule that if you wipe out a hundred enemies, if you are an ordinary soldier, you will be directly promoted to an eighth-rank captain, and the low-level captains below the seventh-rank captain will be directly promoted to one level, and if you wipe out a thousand enemies, you will gain a huge victory in a battle. Victory, coupled with winning more with less or minimal self-injury..."

"Jue'er!" The emperor interrupted Xie Jue, with a blushing color on his face that he couldn't understand at all, and said, "Just say it directly, how can I draw up an order to reward you!"

Xie Jue looked at the emperor speechless for a while, then straightened up and said, "Here, the third Lieutenant Jiang Xiaowei is relatively low in rank, but he has outstanding military exploits and can be directly named a fifth-rank guerrilla general. Rong Yu is originally the son of Duke Rong. , you can be appointed as a real official, and also take the position of guerrilla general, and the rest of the people, etc., will be directly promoted to the third rank, and the actual position is arranged by Zhao Hao himself."

The official title represents the benefits and salary received, but the actual position is what determines how many troops to defend where. Once the emperor makes an order to designate Zhao Hao as the Grand Marshal of the Frontier Army, then these will naturally be arranged by Zhao Hao. Both the Ministry of War and the Privy Council will No right to ask.

The emperor nodded and asked Eunuch Ding to write it down quickly, and then asked, "What about the reward?"

"Reward..." Xie Jue glanced at the memorial and said, "The first four will each reward 2 guan in money, 1 taels of silver, and one thousand-mu farm, and the middle four will each reward 5000 guan in money and [-] taels of silver. , one of the five-hundred-mu farm, and the next four, each will be rewarded with [-] guan and [-] taels of silver."

The voice paused, and Xie Jue said: "Uncle Wu can also tell the Ministry of War that this reward does not include the reward for actually killing the enemy."

The emperor was stunned for a moment: "Actually kill the enemy?"

"Yes." Xie Jue said with a smile: "The law of this dynasty states that soldiers who died on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers can get 25 guan pensions, and there are corresponding pensions for captains and above according to their official titles. Similarly, if you kill an enemy, you can get Five consecutive rewards, and so on, to encourage soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and not fear life and death."

In other words, what was given to the 12 people earlier was to reward them for leading their subordinates to achieve such feats in battle, but if they themselves hacked and killed the enemy's head, the money would not be missing from them.

The emperor sighed and said, "Your nephew knows better."

He doesn't know these things at all!

After thinking for a while, the emperor said again: "By the way, regarding the case of collaborating with the enemy, Rong Guogong Chen Hanming and Hong Shangshu both recommended you to take the lead in this matter, and that fellow Han Xiang also came to say a lot of things that don't matter. I would like to ask your opinion."

When he talked to Zhao Hao at the beginning, he felt that it would be best for the two of them to work together, but these people said that King Xian was suitable, but he felt something was wrong.

"My nephew can do this, but Uncle Wu has to do two things first." Xie Jue said with a faint smile.
