Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 906
"But……"

Nalan Xinyan was still a little worried.

"The emperor took good care of you along the way, and you were riding in the same carriage. Don't you have any feelings for him?"

Tantai Xiyao asked seriously.

"That's not true, it's just... Queen, can we discuss this matter later?"

Nalan Xinyan obviously still misses the man from before.

It's a pity that that man has left her and died miserably.

This is where her heart knot lies.

"Okay, you should take good care of your injuries first, and we'll talk about it later when you're healed."

Tantai Xiyao had no intention of forcing her.

In fact, Lu Hao did not want to include her in the harem.

At first, Lu Hao didn't have much affection for her. At most, he only had pity and sympathy.

Secondly, she is an imperial princess. After the New Year, Lu Hao is planning to destroy the Xixia Dynasty. How can he have any emotional entanglement with her?

The most important point is that Lu Hao also knows the existence of that man, and he also knows that Princess Xinyan will not get out of the shadow of this relationship in a short time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Lu Hao entered the second street, and the slogans of all the guards changed again.

The endless power of faith is still coming, making Lu Hao's strength continue to grow.

"Commanders of the Imperial Guard, thank you for your hard work!"

Lu Hao's voice spread far away.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

The Imperial Guards officers roared in unison.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

In the distance were Xia Wei's father, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and the naughty little aunt, all waving to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao quickly waved in response, and Xia Bing suddenly jumped up excitedly.

However, Lu Hao was not suitable to stop now and could only continue to move forward.

Xia Bing looked unhappy, pouted and waved a small fist at Lu Hao.

After passing two more main streets, Lu Hao spotted a familiar and beautiful figure in front of him. It was Shen Yiyi who came with her family to welcome Lu Hao.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor..."

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Lu Hao waved to everyone, feeling excited in his heart.

The streets and alleys of Yandi City were all crowded with people, and the event was unprecedented, comparable to the Chinese New Year.

Everyone is shouting long live the emperor, everyone is cheering for the empire.

After more than two hours, Lu Hao finally returned to the palace.

Lu Hao told Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu that all the soldiers would go home for the New Year holiday and immediately go to the palace to discuss the reward plan for this expedition.

Above the main hall of Zhengyang Hall.

Lu Hao sat on the dragon throne and accepted the kneeling worship of all the civil and military officials below.

"Everyone is flat!"

Lu Hao said loudly.

"This Western Expedition has once again expanded the empire's territory. The soldiers of the two main armies of the Empire's Central Army have made outstanding military exploits. I have always adhered to the principle of rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing delinquents, with clear rewards and punishments."

"Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the two main armies on this expedition will be rewarded with a minimum of 5000 taels of silver per person. General Zhou Yuan's troops will be rewarded twice as much for their military exploits in the transaction with the Zhou Dynasty. The other generals will be rewarded twice as much. It will be gradually increased according to the level, and the specific plan will be drawn up by Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu and submitted directly to me."

Lu Hao said loudly.

"On behalf of the generals, I would like to thank the emperor for the reward!"

The two generals immediately knelt down to express their thanks.

"During this period, the imperial cabinet ministers and civil and military officials are also working very hard. Lord Tantai formulates plans and implements rewards. As for other officials of the empire, Lord Xu, the Minister of Personnel, is responsible for formulating plans and implementing them in the name of year-end rewards for officials at all levels. Send..." Lu Hao turned to look at Tantai Mingyue and Xu Liting.

"Follow the emperor's will!"

The two men immediately stood up and took orders.

Lu Hao looked at Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said loudly: "Mr. Liu, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will provide each of them with 10 taels of silver, and also prepare festive gifts for the empresses in the harem..."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Mr. Liu responded quickly.

"As for all commercial activities during this New Year period, no taxes are allowed to be collected to ensure the stability and prosperity of the entire market and encourage business opportunities to do business in the Western Regions. The empire will soon open an official road to the Western Regions."

Lu Hao looked at the Minister of Revenue and explained loudly.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

The Minister of Hubu responded loudly.

"Mr. Dong, how is the progress of the various projects now? Is there anyone you want my help with?"

Lu Hao looked at Mr. Dong, Minister of Industry, and asked with a smile.

"To inform the emperor, the preliminary planning for the official road from Hengyang City to the Western Region has been completed, and the civilians along the way have been transferred. We are just waiting for the emperor to take action to open up those mountains."

Lord Dong responded quickly.

"It's okay. I will definitely be able to open up this official road this time when I come back. How are the construction of the main roads in the north going?"

Lu Hao continued to ask.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the north has now entered a cold winter. All projects have been stopped. The progress of the project is about 60.00%. Several other large cement plants are under construction..."

Mr. Dong began to report the status of various projects in detail.

Although the construction of the project has started now, if it is actually completed, it will not be completed so quickly.

Lu Hao listened quietly to the progress of the project and occasionally asked questions. He already knew the progress of all projects.

As for General Xuanyuan Lingyu and Liu Ruxu, they immediately went down to prepare their own reward plans, hoping to submit them to the emperor as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, the heads of the major departments reported many things in detail. Lu Hao listened very carefully and was very satisfied with the work of the ministers.

Soon, the two beautiful generals presented the reward plan to Lu Hao.

"Two generals, just follow this plan. You two will make the greatest contribution. If you have any special requirements, you can put them forward."

Lu Hao specifically gave them the opportunity to make conditions.

"There will be no generals for the time being."

The two responded at the same time.

"Let's do this. I allow you to agree to each of your requests. When you have thought about it, you can come back to me."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two were overjoyed.

"After the rewards are distributed this time, the soldiers will go home to rest and return to the team after the New Year's Eve."

As soon as Lu Hao opened his mouth, the soldiers were given an early holiday.

The two of them thanked each other profusely and then went down.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Liting, the Minister of Personnel, also submitted a reward plan for officials at all levels, and Lu Hao also approved it.

After all, the empire is not short of money now, and gold mines in the Yi area have also begun to be mined, which can provide a steady stream of gold.

……

Qianyuan Palace.

The empress, Tantai Xiyao, and the concubines in the harem are arranging the royal banquet tonight.

Nangong Ruoxue was worried about Tantai Xiyao's pregnancy, so she took the main responsibility and directed the scene layout, seating arrangements, and various furnishings.

After being together for such a long time, Nangong Ruoxue has adapted to the life of a big family and has also taken on her own responsibilities, which is really gratifying.
