Princess Medical Doctor

Xiao Tianyao made it clear that he would not dedicate the black iron armor to the Emperor unless he tore his face. Otherwise, he better not think about poaching the black iron armor from Xiao Tianyao's hands.

Obviously, the Emperor can't and dare not break face with Xiao Tianyao now.

Since he can't tear his face, to save his face, the Emperor can only disregard the matter and not mention it, and focus on the reward again.

Over the years, the Jinwuwei Army fought from south to north and made great contributions to the Eastern Country. The rewards should have been granted. This time Xiao Tianyao asked for the rewards. The Emperor had to give the Jinwuwei Army the rewards they deserved.

Thinking about the Jinwuwei Army outside the capital, the Emperor was very forthright this time and ordered on the spot the officials from the Ministry of War to verify the military achievements of the Jinwuwei Army as soon as possible, and then present them to the imperial court for him to read.

"This minister will follow the order." The officials of the Ministry of War came out together, lowering their heads slightly, hiding the worry and anxiety in their eyes.

They were afraid, afraid…that the emperor would be unhappy afterward, but if they make things difficult for Prince Xiao, it would be troublesome.

"Alas…" After sighing secretly, the two ministers returned to line up, each with a sad face.

Although they belong to the emperor's faction, they dare not offend Prince Xiao now that he was in full swing.

If they delay the matter of military rewards like before, they will be remembered by Prince Xiao. But if the rewards were amazing and the military merits were completely verified, the Emperor will be unhappy.

This matter was a big dilemma, but they can't say it out. The other officials present to understand their thoughts, but who dares to speak on this occasion?

After the matter of rewarding Xiao Tianyao came to an end, the Emperor ordered people to read out the decree of rewarding Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Tianyao was already a prince of the first rank. He has no successor. He was above ten thousand people, he can't give him another title.

In the past, the Emperor rewarded Xiao Tianyao with gold and silver according to the merits of Xiao Tianyao, but he doesn't want to give too many rewards.

Every time he wins a battle, he rewards Xiao Tianyao with a large amount of gold and silver. Most of these gold and silver were used by Xiao Tianyao in the Jinwuwei Army.

In other words, Xiao Tianyao used his silver to raise his soldiers and horses but threatened him with these soldiers and horses.

Instead of rewarding gold and silver, what else can he reward?

Beauty?

He had rewarded them a long time ago, and Xiao Tianyao threw them all into the military camp as military prostitutes.

Mansion?

He also rewarded it, but Xiao Tianyao sold the house after changing hands and exchanging it for gold and silver to support Jinwuwei Army.

Personal guard?

Soldiers and horses?

The emperor will not reward Xiao Tianyao with these even if he dies.

After thinking about it with the left and right prime ministers for a long time, the emperor finally thought of what reward to give Xiao Tianyao this time.

A fief!

Xiao Tianyao was a first-rank prince, he should have a fief. He did have a rich fief, but when Xiao Tianyao was still young, the emperor found a reason to take it back.

This time, the emperor didn't reward Xiao Tianyao with gold and silver, or add beauty, but awarded two fiefdoms to Xiao Tianyao. However, these fiefdoms granted to Xiao Tianyao by the emperor were not his original rich fief, but two fiefs near the northern region, where birds don't even shit, with no human inhabitant, and full of miasma.

After the eunuch who announced the decree finished reading, the audience gasped. Although the left and right prime ministers knew that the Emperor was going to grant Xiao Tianyao land, they didn't know it was these two lands. They couldn't react in time and looked at the emperor in astonishment.

The emperor was not crazy, right?

Didn't he say to appease Prince Xiao?

This was not appeasing people, but slapping the tiger's butt, right?

Not only the left and right prime ministers who have such thoughts but also other ministers thought that the emperor was crazy. They were afraid that the emperor will see their abnormality, so they buried their heads lower one by one, for fear of attracting attention.

His Majesty, this was really… slapping people without touching their faces.

Prince Xiao has made such a great contribution, but he gave two useless fiefdoms. The emperor was too, too… chilling for the hero.

However, the decree has been made, and unless the emperor wants to keep his face, he will never change it. Not only the ministers present know this, even Xiao Tianyao knows it.

Therefore, Xiao Tianyao didn't say a word, but just stood there, neither accepting the decree to thank the emperor, nor asking him to take back the decree. Let the little eunuch stand in front of him holding the imperial decree as if he didn't see it.

The emperor was full of confidence at first, thinking that he had overwhelmed Xiao Tianyao, but seeing Xiao Tianyao standing there silent for a long time, he secretly thought something was wrong.

He only cared about his happiness but forgot the current situation. He spent a long time coaxing Xiao Tianyao for a long time. If his success falls short because of the award, will his previous efforts be in vain?

He wanted to appease Xiao Tianyao, but the emperor want to save his face. Just when he was at a loss, the emperor had a flash of inspiration and said loudly: "Tianyao, Xiao Wangfei has made great achievements in rescuing soldiers on the battlefield. The Empress is very happy when she learns about this. She said that Xiao Wangfei is a model for women in the world, so she must reward her well. I wonder if your princess returns to the capital with you?"

The emperor was looking for a chance to step down for himself, implying that he will reward Lin Chujiu heavily.

"Xiao Wangfei is still outside the capital. Tomorrow benwang will pick her up and return to the capital, and accompany her into the palace to thank the empress." In front of the emperor, Xiao Tianyao called himself "benwang", which shows that he was really unhappy.

The emperor's face felt embarrassed, but he didn't dare to provoke Xiao Tianyao again. He just laughed dryly and regarded the matter as over. As for the imperial decree that Xiao Tianyao didn't accept, no one dared to mention it at this time.

The emperor was unhappy, but he wanted to save Xiao Tianyao's face, so he had to cheer up and say a few beautiful words, then let the crowd disperse, and went to the palace to participate in the celebration banquet at night.

However, as soon as the emperor's words came out, Xiao Tianyao immediately refuted them, "Your Majesty, the success of this war greatly succeed this time, half of its credit is contributed by Xiao Wangfei. She can't return to the capital today, so benwang ask the emperor to postpone the celebration banquet until she enters the capital to participate in the celebration banquet together."

"Tianyao, don't mess around, the celebration banquet has been prepared, how can we change it?" The emperor's face was very ugly.

If the celebration banquet was postponed, what prestige does he have as an emperor?

But will Xiao Tianyao give him a face?

"Your Majesty, benwang's princess is also a meritorious minister." Xiao Tianyao stood where he was, with no intention of compromising.

The one who said that Lin Chujiu had merit was the emperor himself. Unless the emperor wants to slap himself at this time, otherwise this matter must go according to Xiao Tianyao's will.

"Tianyao, since ancient times, there has never been a celebration banquet for a woman." The Emperor was sullen and unhappy.

Xiao Tianyao still did not back down: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been a woman like benwang's princess, who dared to go to the battlefield in times of crisis, disregarding her safety to treat wounded soldiers."

Did the emperor think that if he casually said that the empress would reward Lin Chujiu, he could play tricks on him?

How naive!

On this occasion, even if the emperor dared to give him two pieces of broken land casually, and slapped him in the face, he could still let the emperor go.

A man was valued as he makes himself valuable. The moment the emperor wrote the imperial decree, he should have thought of his current situation… …
