Chapter 329 Degenerate reward

"But speaking of this, the King of Yan is really amazing. Jinzhou has been harmed by Xiliang for twenty years, and now it has finally returned to my great song."

The woman in green on the left supported her chin and looked smiling.

The woman in red on the right could instinctively look around her eyes and whisper: "But I heard that the other princes were not very happy, and they were stolen by His Highness Yan again."

Changle snorted softly, "If they are unhappy, they will be unhappy. If they are all like the King of Yan, why would the royal family be so embarrassed?"

"What the princess said is, but don't let outsiders hear it, otherwise they will be hated again." The woman in green whispered.

"It's right for them to hate. Don't hate it. Instead, I'm with them. These children don't want to serve the country and know how to gossip. It's better than us as a woman." Princess Changle raised her eyebrows.

The woman in red smiled and said nothing.

In Jinling, only Princess Changle has always been a clear-cut supporter of the King of Yan.

She knew that this was not only Princess Changle's integrity, but also related to her past.

After all, Princess Changle used to have a surname Nian.

"Since it's a spring outing, don't talk about these major issues in the country." The woman in green suggested at this time.

The others nodded, and the four of them chattered and talked about the interesting smells of Jinling.

What kind of lady and son of whom will be arrested?

Which cloth shop has the best cloth, and where is the place to hold a poetry meeting?

Laughing and joy kept coming from the pleasure boat.

The laughter like silver bells reached the shore, and the scholars wanted to see the pleasure boats in the same way and see what the woman inside looked like.

Following the Jiuqu River to the south, at the same line at the southern end of the palace, Jiuqu River suddenly turned east, passed through a white jade bridge, and entered a garden surrounded by a wall.

This is the Royal Garden.

Unlike the royal forest garden where hunting, this is the emperor's spring outing.

Today is the weather and sunny day. Not only the princes and princesses, but also the children of wealthy businessmen from the powerful clan are out for fun.

Emperor Zhao Heng also invited important officials in the court to visit the garden together because he was in a refreshing mood.

Behind him, Dou Wei on the left, Mi Yan on the right, and Xie Duan, Ma Yuan, Yang Feng, Han Zheng and others behind.

When the ministers stopped in front of a pavilion, Zhao Heng looked at a peony in surprise, "This peony planted by the late emperor has not bloomed for more than ten years, but he didn't expect it to bloom so beautifully this year."

Mi Yan laughed and said, "Master, this is a sign of auspiciousness, indicating that the Great Song will regain glory and the royal family will prosper in the world."

"Yes, as the saying goes, the family and the country will flourish."

"It's really auspicious."

“…”

The ministers all praised Zhao Heng.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Heng felt relieved when he heard this.

Looking at the peony in front of me, the more I look at it, the more I love it.

He couldn't be unhappy.

Since he ordered the King of Yan to lead the army into Jinzhou, the entire Jinling has been paying attention to the war in Jinzhou.

It has been nearly three months since the King of Yan did not disappoint him and gave him a victory beyond his expectations.

Last time, the Yuan family was pacified and the Beidi retreated, and this time he defeated Xiliang again.

But in this battle, no one can question the role of artillery in war.

Now, he can't wait to equip his imperial guards with artillery.

"It's OK." Suddenly, Zhao Heng turned to Mi Yan, "But this time the King of Yan made great contributions. How do you think you should reward him?"

When he said this, his heart was so sad.

If he had beaten Jinzhou by himself, how majestic he would have been.

Although the King of Yan was his son, he always felt that there were some flaws in this royal glory.

The ministers were silent.

The King of Yan made great contributions this time, although it was slightly worse than pacifying the Yuan family and preventing the Northern Di from going south.

But such contributions can still be regarded as great achievements.

Dou Wei noticed that Zhao Heng was a little disappointed, and he immediately guessed the emperor's thoughts: "Emperor, from the perspective of his ministers, the King of Yan has made such great achievements. The small reward really cannot be commended for his merits. It is better to take Jinzhou as a vassal."

When Zhao Heng heard this, he frowned. He gave the four counties of Yan King Yanzhou to support the King of Yan.

If you give it to King Yan Jinzhou again, wouldn’t it be a big praise for the Northern Frontier to become the king of Yan’s world?

He must not do this.

As the prime minister, Dou Wei naturally understood this principle.

His purpose was very simple when he said this, but he just praised the King of Yan.

This time when the King of Yan took over Jinzhou, they were mixed feelings.

On the one hand, happiness is the artillery, which is indeed the killer weapon.

In the future, I will have the ability to fight against Beidi.

In this way, they can focus on the battle for internal rights of Dasong.

Unhappy, their war horse deal with Beidi was ruined by the King of Yan.

Therefore, he naturally could not make the King of Yan satisfied.

Mi Yan looked at Dou Wei indifferently. The longer he fought with Dou Wei, the more he found that Dou Wei smiled brighter and the darker his heart was.

He naturally understood that Dou Wei wanted to arouse Zhao Heng and other ministers' vigilance against the King of Yan.

Thinking of this, he said, "Your Majesty, I think the King of Yan has made merits and guilts this time. If the merits and demerits are offset, there is no need to be a big reward."

"Oh?" Zhao Heng showed an interesting look, "Tell me."

"As far as I know, after the King of Yan occupied Jincheng, he killed the county magistrate Cao Rui and others without asking the court for instructions, and even confiscated his property and took it for himself. This is a crime, and there is no need to say his contribution." Mi Yan said.

Ma Yuan said at this time: "His Highness of the King of Yan seems to be particularly greedy for money. He did not forget to plunder Jinzhou. It is a punishment."

Zhao Xu's eyes swept across Mi Yan and Dou Wei, and he chuckled softly.

Many ministers are confused now.

On weekdays, Dou Wei always criticized the King of Yan, but today he advocated a grand reward.

Mi Yan and others who tried their best to protect King Yan actually wanted to punish King Yan.

"Mi Aiqing, Ma Aiqing is right. The King of Yan is indeed too greedy for money. He is not satisfied with so many merchants. He doesn't forget to pluck his hair when fighting. He should knock him." Zhao Heng looked serious, but he was very happy.

It is better for King Yan to be greedy for money, it is better than greed for power.

Then he changed his subject, "But he still made more contributions after all. In this way, he would give his royal family a total of 30,000 troops and give another 10,000 taels of silver to commend him."

"The emperor is wise." Mi Yan and other ministers said in unison.

They understood the emperor's nature, and they suppressed the King of Yan for his own good.

Dou Wei had no objection either.

Such a great contribution, without the reward of the land, he only gave 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 taels of silver. Basically, this reward is better than nothing.

Then, he suddenly thought of artillery.

It is said that the Han family, Xie family, and Liang family have purchased the cannons of the King of Yan.

This clearly lags behind these companies.

Especially now the King of Yan has once again proved the importance of artillery.

He could not bear this and decided to send someone to contact the King of Yan recently.
