C515 His Gaze the East
His Majesty didn't say anything about the reward.
This made the officers a little disappointed.
At the same time, they started to worry.
Such an achievement.
And there were so many forces involved in the Northern Expedition.
At that time, the political situation in the capital would change.
In this northern expedition, those who would be of help to the Xiao family would naturally be able to obtain the most benefits.
Those who were in the way would naturally pay the corresponding price.
The difference between them would increase and decrease, and the gap between them would be huge.
When the time came, he would need to consider what kind of attitude he should use to treat the Xiao family or other people.
Those who had given gifts before were all delighted.
Fortunately, he had received the news first. Otherwise, things would have been troublesome.
In the end, when the court assembly ended, His Majesty still did not receive any rewards regarding the Xiao family.
It was as if this matter should not be rewarded.
But everyone understood.
When the two generals came in, they both announced their official positions.
They were both promoted greatly.
In other words, the Emperor did not intend to discuss the reward with everyone.
At that time, he would just directly decide on it.
On the other hand, His Majesty probably did not know how to reward him.
In fact...
That was it!
His Majesty went back to his study and stared blankly at a blank imperial edict on the table.
The eunuch stood at the side and watched helplessly.
After a long while, he suggested, "Your Majesty, how about... we make up for it?"
"The Imperial Court causing trouble and expanding the territory, these two things can be equal?"
His Majesty glared at him.
The eunuch continued to smile bitterly.
He turned around and went to the small box.
He opened it.
He took out a wooden jar, which contained the good tea he got from Xiao Yun.
He made a pot for His Majesty.
He took out another exquisite small box.
He opened it and saw a cigar inside.
His Majesty took the cigar and was about to put it in his mouth when he suddenly paused and asked, "Didn't you use today's share before? Don't tell me you always have extra today?! "
The eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "How can that be? If there were, why would he lie to His Majesty? This was sent over by Saint Xiao previously. He said that His Majesty might have a lot of troubles in the next few days. He increased the amount and said that he would let you relieve your worries. 0."
" Hmph! "
His Majesty coldly snorted and said," Only he knows how to pretend to be a good person. Who knows how this fellow would secretly laugh at home! "
Even though he said it, he still lit up the cigarette.
When he exhaled a cloud of white fog.
He calmed down a little.
He sighed and said, "Actually, Xiao Huai'en's matter is easy to deal with. A portion of his merits offset it. Part of the credit will be given to you as you wish, and the reward will be given as you wish. After all, Zhen had previously given him the position of power, and now he will be rewarded. It was the same; there was no need for him to have nowhere to be rewarded. But... Xiao Yun's reward is troublesome."
"... That's right."
The eunuch sighed as well.
His Majesty also continued to sigh.
The two of them sighed, and I sighed, causing the atmosphere to become extremely oppressive.
Coincidentally, the Empress came to see His Majesty.
Seeing their distressed expressions, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"We've already won the war, but the Qin Country has added the most joyous event in the past thousands of years, the Northern Outer Gate. Why is His Majesty still sighing?"
His Majesty glanced at the Empress, then twitched his mouth. He said: "The Empress naturally doesn't need to sigh about anything, this time in the northern expedition. Your nephew Xue Renli also went with you, which can be considered to have made quite a bit of contribution... As your aunt, I'm afraid it's too late for you to be happy. Naturally, I don't know what I'm worried about. "
The Empress didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She said, "Of course I got some benefits and gained some experience, but I can't just ignore His Majesty's feelings, can I? What exactly is troubling His Majesty?"
"Xiao Yun's reward."
"Xiao Yun?"
The Empress was stunned for a moment, then said, "Bei Fa is Old Man Xiao Huai'en, just reward him. Xiao Yun already had a title, if he really wanted it, then... Wouldn't it be better to give it to a hereditary one? In addition, Old Master Xiao's title of nobility would be restored to someone who was hereditary. When that time came, he would have two titles of nobility. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
It did make sense.
However, His Majesty could not help but roll his eyes and sigh. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
The key was that he felt that the Empress should remember some things, but now it was clear that she had already forgotten.
"Empress, you really are a person with too many people who forget things, you forgot... The matter of the northern expedition was instigated by Xiao Yun! In addition to issuing orders, there were also preparations and mobilization of troops and generals. Provisions and supplies were all done by Xiao Yun. If one were to say that the first credit for the northern expedition was not Xiao Huai'en... It was his grandson, who was like a monster! "
The Empress's eyes widened.
Then she awkwardly rubbed her nose and spat.
Then she said: "I've been using that kid's new toy all this time, so I forgot about this. It's strange that this kid has done a lot of things. But in the hearts of others, he was the one who caused trouble all day long. He only knows how to do strange things. "
"This..."
His Majesty was also stunned. He frowned and thought for a while, then smiled bitterly.
"It seems to be true."
The Empress walked over and sat down next to His Majesty.
He thought for a bit.
He was truly troubled.
He even looked at His Majesty with some resentment in his eyes.
"You have the nerve to tell me such a complicated matter. You made this day's good mood disappear all of a sudden."
"It was clearly you who wanted to ask!"
It was rare for the Empress to be unreasonable, causing the Emperor to be somewhat at a loss on what to do.
After a while, he began to sigh again.
That's right.
How should he reward her?
The Empress blinked and said, "Actually, not many people know about Xiao Yun's matter."
The Emperor was confused, "Empress, you mean..."
"Since you don't know much, then you don't have to care about what other people think. Why don't you ask him what he wants and give him what he wants?"
His Majesty was stunned for a moment.
That's right!
Isn't that how it should be?
Whatever Xiao Yun wanted, he just had to give it to him.
In any case, the things he normally wanted were all strange.
Although those strange things that Xiao Yun did next would scare people to death.
But overall, it was a good thing for Xiao Yun.
The eunuch's expression changed slightly.
He looked at this husband and wife who had the highest status in the world.
Suddenly, he could not help but ask, "If Saint Xiao's status is too high and his power is too strong, if one day he suddenly becomes hostile to the Imperial Court, what should we do?"
This sentence caused the two people with the highest status in Great Qin Country to be stunned at the same time.
His Majesty turned around.
His gaze was complicated.2
After a while, he laughed lightly and said, "Nian, I was just worried too much. How did you address him?"
"Saint Xiao."
"Yes, to some people, reputation is much more important than status. There were many emperors in the world, but those who left their names in the history of the world knew about it. But they are rarely emperors, right? At the very least, the name of the saints could be spread even more. In the long run."
Speaking up to this point, His Majesty sighed again.
"The thing that Zhen has been pursuing since a long time ago is something that Xiao Yun that brat is most likely to achieve... However, if we are to talk about it in detail, Zhen can be considered as an emperor who has opened up his territory and expanded his territory. His reputation should be prominent in the annals of history."
When the eunuch heard this, he laughed.
He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "At least the first five hundred years, and the next five hundred years. In terms of merits, no one can compare with His Majesty. Even the greatest saint in the Sun Moon Country cannot compare."
" Oh?"
His Majesty's eyes immediately lit up.
But then it dimmed again.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
He looked towards the east.
He would have looked towards the north when he was feeling melancholy.
