Red Mansion: I married my wife Lin Daiyu, but she didn’t consummate the marriage.

In the Jinluan Palace today,

Emperor Taiguang's face no longer had the gloom and anger of the past, but it was full of tangles. He felt extremely troubled by Jia Hen's incident.

On the one hand, the border needed a general who could fight to resist. Jin people, on the other hand, because Jia Hen has a vague tendency to move closer to the Supreme Emperor's lineage. Once he has a heavy army, it will not be good news for him. For this reason, he does not hesitate to favor Jia Yingchun and promote Jia Zheng's official position. He tried to win over the Jia family but had little effect.

Just when he was worried, the eunuch Xia Shouzhong beside him said softly:

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li, who went to the border to announce the decree, has come back, saying that he has brought great good news and asked to see him."

Emperor Taiguang was worried, and when he heard that it was the great news coming from the border, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Li Zhongying went to announce the decree to Jia Hen, so he naturally came back from him.

This good news was most likely related to Jia Hen.

Could it be that Jia Hen had done something great again?

Thinking of this, he prayed in his heart that it would not be Jia Hen. After making great achievements in battle, he secretly made up his mind that even if Jia Hen made great achievements, he would still follow the example of his ministers and never give him any more rewards, otherwise it would be like feeding a tiger into trouble.

After making up his mind, Emperor Taiguang said in a deep voice :

"Let him come in."

Under the eyes of everyone in Jinluan Hall, Li Zhongying walked in quickly, holding a box in his arms.

After placing the box on the ground, he knelt on the ground and said excitedly:

"I am very happy, Your Majesty is very happy."

Emperor Taiguang raised his eyebrows:

"Where does this joy come from? Please tell me carefully."

"Reporting back to your majesty, this slave went to the border to announce the decree. It happened that the 30,000 Jin army invaded Xifeng City. There were only 5,000 people led by General Jia in the city. The Jin people wanted to encircle Xifeng City for reinforcements and used Xifeng City as bait to attract troops from hundreds of miles away. Two generals, He Yingzhao and Zheng Chengxu, came to the rescue and set up an ambush halfway."

When they heard that 30,000 troops were besieging Xifeng City, the faces of the officials changed slightly.

This Jia Hen is now a member of the Supreme Emperor's lineage. Naturally, everyone does not want to When something happened to him,

Zhou Ru, Minister of War, hurriedly said:

"Tell me quickly, how is General Jia?"

"Don't be impatient, sir. Listen to what we are saying slowly. The leader of the Jin people thought that General Jia would lead his troops to defend the city. He wanted to defeat the two reinforcements before attacking the city. Unexpectedly, General Jia was smarter than Zhuge and fought bravely. Guan Gong immediately led 3,000 men out of the city to fight, killing 10,000 gold men, crying for their fathers and mothers. Even their commanders were killed and captured."

"Okay."

As soon as Li Zhongying finished speaking, there was a burst of excited cheers in the palace.

The expressions of the ministers were completely different from the first time they heard about Jia Hen's meritorious service.

Emperor Taiguang's expression was extremely indifferent, feeling both happy and sad. , looking at the applause of the ministers below, he waved his hands and said:

"My dear friends, there is no need to make a fuss. This is insignificant to General Jia, and it is not such a rude thing. If he cannot deal with a mere ten thousand people, then he has failed to live up to my expectations for him." After hearing this, the ministers just wanted to argue with each other. , but unexpectedly Li Zhongying shouted:

"Your Majesty, your majesty, immediately guessed that General Jia's military exploits were more than just that. After defeating the 10,000 Jin men who besieged the city, General Jia led his 3,000 men to move twice and rescued the supporting troops from the ambush."Come out, the enemy's 30,000-strong army will either be killed or captured, and almost the entire army will be annihilated."

Hiss~

Now Emperor Taiguang couldn't pretend to be calm no matter how hard he tried.

Three thousand people moved to three places and defeated three people. Thousands of people, with no time to rest in between, turned those who came to support into being rescued.

Is this Jia Hen still a human?

Three thousand people can resist an army of 30,000.

I can’t imagine if he is given 30,000 , what are the consequences of the 300,000-person Horse Club?

No,

Jia Hen must not be rewarded anymore.

But Zhou Ru, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up with a wat board in hand:

"Your Majesty, 3,000 people defeated 30,000 people, and it was still a frontal battle. This greatly boosted the morale of our army and enhanced the power of our army. How can we not reward such a great achievement? I thought it was a big reward and told it to the world."

The rest of the people waited They also stood up one after another:

"As your Majesty said before, rewards and punishments are clear. Failure to reward may chill the hearts of the border officers."

"I think it is better to reward Jia and hate a Marquis of Wanhu. Since then, I have a second Zhenyuan Marquis in Daqian."

"No, it is far superior to Marquis Zhenyuan. Jia Hen only joined the army for one year, but Marquis Zhenyuan spent five years."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to reward Jia Hen immediately."

Seeing these ministers trying to block him with his previous words,

Emperor Taiguang felt as if he had eaten a dead fly and said in a deep voice:

"Jia Hen is still young, so if he were to be rewarded with a big reward, I'm afraid he would take credit and become arrogant and arrogant. Everyone who loves you knows the story of hurting Zhongyong. Therefore, for the sake of Jia Hen's future, it is better not to reward Jia Hen for the time being. Wait until he comes again. We will reward you for your great achievements."

The officials were not happy when they heard this.

Before they could speak, Li Zhongying shouted again:

"No matter how wise your majesty is," after hearing what he said, Emperor Taiguang felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. He was breathing heavily as he spoke.

The more he looked at the head on Li Zhongying's shoulder, the more he felt it was an eyesore.

He couldn't help but say angrily:

"What do I have to be wise about?"

"Your Majesty is really clever. He immediately guessed that General Jia would make another military exploit. This time he not only defeated the invading army of 30,000 men, but also killed the enemy's general. This person was Daishan who was ordered to be killed by Your Majesty. It's his head, and the captured person is Nurhachi's biological brother Shuerhaqi."

As he spoke, Li Zhongying opened the wooden box next to him.

Looking at the bloody head in the box, Emperor Taiguang's face was as gloomy as water.

There is no excuse now.

After all, he personally issued the edict. If someone kills Daishan and is granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, let alone captures Shuerhaqi, it is unjustifiable that such a great achievement cannot be granted. When the ministers saw this, they were overjoyed

:

"Your Majesty, please immediately issue an order to reward General Jia."

"Huh, let’s discuss it again!"

Emperor Taiguang behaved like a rogue. He stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The ministers were not in a hurry. There is definitely no way to escape this reward.

It's just that the Holy Emperor found it difficult to accept it for a while. He asked him to take it easy and go to court tomorrow. Let's talk about the reward.

After leaving the court,

Li Zhongying did not forget what he promised Jia Cong before coming, and sent two family letters to Jia Cong's house.
