Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 651 Entering the Palace ([-])
How could Emperor Yuan Zhen not understand who the Queen Mother's heart was towards?

In fact, he respects his mother very much and knows how much her mother loves him.

So he has always been a qualified filial son.

But since the last incident with Bai Weiyong, he had some doubts. After all, he had some rift with his mother.

He originally thought that this matter would be over, after all, his mother had not interfered in anything in the past few months.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, the queen mother would hit him hard in the face for the sake of everyone in the Bai family.

Because the queen mother's interference not only ruined his plan, but also put him in such a dilemma.

How can he not be angry or disappointed? !

They are clearly her own flesh and blood, how can the mother's heart be towards outsiders?

Since the queen mother didn't want him as a son, he didn't have to have a queen mother to survive.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Zhen's smile was as terrifying as Shura's.

Finally, he looked at the Minister of Rites: "Minister of Rites, did you hear that? Go and draft the canonization memorial and ask for my approval."

The Minister of Rites responded quickly: "I obey the decree."

The ministers knelt down again: "Your Majesty is wise! God bless Dongling!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen cleared his throat and exhaled a breath: "Everyone, get up!"

Everyone quickly stood up, and in the court hall, the princes stood solemnly. It was another solemn scene.

At this time, Grand Tutor Song Chengzhang came out again and said: "Your Majesty, all the deceased have been posthumously awarded, and proper arrangements have been made for the widow. So, should the meritorious men who recovered the city also be rewarded?"

The anger that Emperor Yuan Zhen had been saving completely exploded at this moment.

He picked up the things on the table and threw them at Song Chengzhang's feet: "Are you deaf or stupid? Have you lost your brain at home? Haven't I already made Bai Mingwei the emperor's first-grade Princess Anning?"

"There is only one imperial first-grade princess in the entire Dongling. This honor is not enough. Are you still trying to ask for a reward?!"

Having said this, Emperor Yuan Zhen looked at Bai Mingwei fiercely: "Bai Mingwei, are you satisfied with Princess Anning's reward?!"

Bai Mingwei, who had just stood up, knelt down on one knee again. What she did was the courtesy of a military commander, not the etiquette that a princess should have towards a monarch: "I don't dare!"

After saying something quietly, she stopped talking.

It was obvious that she was dissatisfied.

But she just wouldn't say it.

Such an attitude undoubtedly made Emperor Yuan Zhen furious!
At this time, Shen Zi'an, Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, came out of the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, in all dynasties, the commander of an army must have a military position."

"In the past, your Majesty followed the late emperor to the west to conquer Western Chu, and was awarded the title of general. This is an ancestral system and a common practice. I would also like to ask your majesty to reward Princess Anning with a military position."

Taifu Song Chengzhang immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, Beiyan became a defeated general under Dongling. Not only did he lose a city, but the prince of Beiyan also died in an unknown manner."

"Although Beiyan will send envoys to Dongling for negotiations, we will also have the upper hand in this negotiation."

"But Beiyan must have a grudge and may counterattack again at any time. Moreover, Beiyan knows that the Yinshan Mountains are rich in mineral veins. For these mineral veins, they will definitely accumulate strength and make a comeback."

"The stability and peace of Northern Xinjiang depends on one hundred thousand border guards. If their leader is not given a military position, the one hundred thousand soldiers will not be happy."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was furious: "What the Grand Tutor means is that if I don't give Princess Anning a military position, can these [-] soldiers rebel against me for Princess Anning?"

"Then Taifu, please tell me, are these [-] soldiers my soldiers, Dongling's son-in-law, or do they belong to Princess An Ning alone?"

This is a very serious statement. If you don't answer it carefully, you will be labeled as a person of high merit or even treason.

However, Taifu Song Chengzhang had been on the battlefield for a long time and had developed sophisticated skills, so he casually defeated Emperor Yuan Zhen's army.

I just heard him say unhurriedly: "The one hundred thousand soldiers are naturally His Majesty's people, and their loyalty is naturally Dongling. However, it is a well-known common sense that success in the frontier and reward for merit are common sense."

"If one hundred thousand soldiers do not see their leader receive a reward from His Majesty, they may think that His Majesty is unwilling to reward meritorious men."

"Those who are passionate and ready to make contributions to the frontiers and fight for their lives, I am afraid that their hearts will be cold because of this, and they will not be able to have a strong effect." "If His Majesty is willing to reward meritorious people generously, he will definitely give ten Thousands of soldiers are looking forward to it. When the time comes, their morale will be greatly boosted. Are you afraid that Beiyan will make a comeback?"

After a pause, Taifu Song asked a question that hit his soul: "Unless your Majesty is unwilling to award a reward, how could your Majesty not know the significance of awarding meritorious deeds?"

"presumptuous--!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen became so angry that he stood up and shouted angrily at Taifu.

Because he was so angry, his blood surged and his face turned red.

My throat seemed to be choked by something, and I couldn't say a word.

The courtier immediately knelt down, trembling with fear and fear: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Only Taifu Song Chengzhang and Hubu Shangshu Shen Zi'an were still standing.

Shen Zian took a step forward, walked to Taifu Song Chengzhang, and loudly agreed: "Your Majesty, although what Taifu said may not sound good, it is not unreasonable."

"The recovery of the five cities on the border and the inclusion of Moon City in our Dongling territory are the first overwhelming victory in Dongling in a hundred years."

"The monarch and his ministers are inspired by it, and the people cheer and celebrate it. Your Majesty rewards the meritorious deeds, and it is an even greater joy than happiness for the meritorious people to be promoted to positions and titles."

"The border troops will definitely be grateful for your Majesty's kindness, and the people will definitely praise your Majesty's kindness. Your Majesty's reward will also add all kinds of joy to this great event that should be celebrated by the whole country."

The Taifu continued: "Your Majesty, Lord Shen is right, because the great victory on the border has caused a sensation in the four countries. Whether it is Northern Yan, Western Chu or Southern Qi, they are all watching Dongling's every move."

"If Your Majesty does not express his position, I am afraid that the four countries will speculate that I, Dongling, are at odds with each other. Your Majesty is not even willing to give a reward to the person who led the army to regain the mountains and rivers and defeated Beiyan."

"I heard that Northern Yan envoys visited Chu some time ago. Although Northern Yan also sent envoys to Dongling, they did not sign any alliance with Dongling."

"If Beiyan takes the opportunity to join forces with Western Chu to threaten Dongling, then the situation will be very bad. Your Majesty, please reward the meritorious personnel vigorously to boost the morale of the army!"

As soon as this statement came out, he immediately received the support of all the ministers: "I second the proposal."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

……

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

The awarding of awards to Bai Mingwei and related meritorious people is not to praise the Bai family, nor is it to encourage Bai Mingwei's arrogance.

It was an affirmation that they could win a great victory for Dongling, and it was also a move that could boost the morale of the military. It was also a signal to the people of the world that the whole country was celebrating together.

The large-scale rewards brought not only personal promotion and promotion, but also a joyful scene of celebration after victory.

Dongling has been suffering from natural and man-made disasters for a long time, and it is necessary to have this kind of happy event to rush forward, so that the people can have hope and not be flattened by the wars of the troubled times.

If a country wants to survive, it must give its people hope.

Only the people are full of vitality and looking forward to the future, instead of having dull eyes and living like zombies.

Only then can this country prosper and develop.

If the truth is broken down and explained, even an idiot can understand it.

If Emperor Yuan Zhen did not agree at this time, I am afraid that the courtiers, the border guards, and the people all over the world would look down on him.

Emperor Yuan Zhen sat down numbly. It was obvious that during the period when his throat was blocked by the rising blood and he could not speak, he understood all the truth from the mouths of Taifu Song and Lord Shen.

He was not willing to reward Bai Mingwei, but he was even more unwilling to let his powerful position and Dongling be destroyed.

He didn't know that he was stupid, but at least he knew that he couldn't let everyone turn against him.

Finally, he slowly closed his eyes and expressed his decision.
