Chapter 107

The early morning on April 1 changed the sluggish atmosphere of the previous days.

The faces of all civil and military officials were beaming with joy.

All the courtiers praised that General Zhao could stick to Hanyang city for five days when he only used 20000 Qingcheng garrison against 300000 Hu army, and waited for the assistance of 80000 troops from the king of Mexico.

They attacked both inside and outside, joined hands with each other and annihilated Hu Jun at one fell swoop.

After 300 thousand fierce Hu soldiers, there was only a small group of Hu soldiers with less than 1000 people left to protect the seriously injured general Duan ganguanshi and Na yanshiyou.

The king of Mexico's reinforcements were meritorious. All 300000 Hu troops were wiped out in this war. His highness also seriously injured Duan Gan Guanshi himself.

The state of Hu was badly hurt this time. Not only the army was killed and wounded, but also left a large number of materials. Those military supplies, horses, grain and grass, luggage, bows and arrows were filled into the Zhao family army, and the Treasury was much easier.

Hu, on the other hand, is afraid to invade China's borders again for many years.

At this time, the monarchs and ministers are full of joy, and no one will not be interested. At this moment, they will touch the bad luck and ask why the Zhao family can't use the army, and his Highness the king of Mexico has privately transferred the army.

In addition to Xiao Yanjun, even Prime Minister Du grinned on his face.

After all, he is a prime minister. If the country is disturbed, it is useless for him to fight.

"Father emperor, old general Zhao has made great achievements again this time. It should be rewarded." Xiao Yanjun's eyebrows and eyes were smiling at the moment. Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth and asked for a reward for old general Zhao.

The courtiers agreed one after another. Such meritorious deeds should be rewarded.

When Xiao Zimu heard the speech, he frowned and looked suspiciously at Xiao Yanjun.

Sure enough, the courtiers talked and found that there was no reward.

Galloping on the battlefield for 40 years and crossing the 800 mile frontier.

It is difficult to give up the flesh and blood of the three armed forces and leave great righteousness alone.

In his life, General Zhao has long been successful, but he is unwilling to leave his armor and return to the field.

Even the title of the prince was rejected in the early years. Who doesn't know the bad temper of old general Zhao.

Better be a centurion than a prince.

What should I do? The courtiers slowly stopped, blinked and looked at the emperor.

"I have a clear idea. I don't need you to discuss it."

The emperor still smiled on his face and didn't seem to mind.

"Father emperor, my son and minister were really terrified after they came out of the Qingxin hall yesterday. Fixing the top three is a big event, so I went to find Wu Taifu yesterday and discussed the ranking together after he turned over the volume."

Xiao Zimu knows that after tomorrow's release, he will offend those important courtiers who have paid bribes but failed.

It would be bad if he knew that the top three was decided by him, resented in his heart, refused to accept the top three's talent and looked for opportunities to trip them everywhere.

It's better to pull Wu Taifu into the water and shake the scene.

After blocking them, they wronged him for favoritism and malpractice.

The emperor's eyes shifted to Wu Taifu with Xiao Zimu's words.

Seeing him stroking his beard and a look of praise, he couldn't help feeling proud. He was very satisfied with Xiao Zimu's preciseness.

"The list of the top three is here. Please seal it. It should be released after going down today." Xiao Zimu stepped out of the line and presented the way with the rolled list axis.

"Take it up." After the emperor said that, Duke Li went down the stage, took the shaft and asked the emperor to seal it.

As soon as the courtiers heard this, the emperor actually handed over such an important ranking to his highness Qi. It's really a lot of trust.

However, it's good that they spent money. At this time, they seem to have swallowed a reassurance. They look at Xiao Zimu one after another and want to have a knowing smile with his highness Qi.

As a result, Xiao Zimu looked straight up at the top.

They couldn't keep their eyes on it, so they had to look at the list axis eagerly, and they couldn't see the list inside.

But one by one still stretched their necks, as if they had perspective function after staring for a long time.

"Your Majesty, now the fourth highness is going to marry the Mongolian princess as the imperial concubine. It is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Whether it is time to be canonized as a prince." Prime Minister Du Cheng looked at Xiao Zimu and felt very unhappy. He stood up and proposed for Xiao Yanjun.

The courtiers nodded and agreed. At least the Mongolian princess married and couldn't be a prince and concubine.

It's not nice to spread it out. It's mean.

Now in the state of Xiao, there are only four princes in total, except the late Prince Hui.

One is Prince min, the younger brother of the emperor, who never cares about political affairs. One is the second Royal Highness, Lord Mo, who was granted the king at the age of 13. One is Lord Jing, who inherited the king of exchange, and the other is the great prince, Lord Jia, who was canonized after the weak crown a few years ago.

Although the third prince had been married for a long time, he still did not grant the king the right to leave the palace.

The mother and concubines are not favored, nor do they attract the emperor's love, and have been hung aside.

At present, although Xiao Yanjun is only seventeen, Prime Minister Du Cheng's timing is just right.

The emperor looked at Du Hanfei's face with an unhappy color, but it was a marriage after all, which was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Indeed, it is time to make a king to express our sincerity for Mongolian diplomatic relations.

After thinking about it, he canonized Xiao Yanjun as Lord Yu.

The emperor made an order, and there was a great deal of noise in the hall. Xiao Yanjun was happy at the door. Finally, he hung a smile on his face and nodded to the people.

"Congratulations to Prince Yu." Fan Zhaolin, the Minister of the Ministry of rites, heard that the speech was timely listed. After giving a gift to Xiao Yanjun, he began to play to the Emperor: "emperor, the bride price of Lord Yu was originally configured according to the specifications of the prince. Now do you have to add something to the specifications of the prince."

The emperor nodded and said, "well, it should be. Just in time, the important officials prepared a large amount of silver for you in order to celebrate your wedding. They asked Zi Mu to hand it in yesterday, which was just used to fill in your prince's specifications."

The emperor was furious after opening the box yesterday.

The bribe of a scientific examination is as high as more than one million Liang. Over the years, why didn't Du Hanfei die? The emperor's angry teeth itch.

Therefore, just now he looked at the proposed Du Hanfei, and his face was so ugly.

Xiao Yanjun knew nothing and looked at the important officials in surprise.

Thinking in my heart, these people will really follow the trend, and their hands will fall quickly.

The important officials were confused by the emperor. They also avoided Xiao Yanjun's eyes and didn't know how to respond.

Until Fang Bolun reacted first, what else could they give to his highness Qi except the bribe.

Therefore, the faces of the important officials became ugly and their eyes became resentful. They looked into Xiao Zimu's eyes and wanted to fly out a needle and stab him all over.

And looking at Xiao Yanjun, the knife can fly out.

Because of Xiao Yanjun's bride price.

It was their flesh that was gouged out!

In a moment, Xiao Yanjun carried the congratulations, doubts and resentments of the courtiers.

He was carrying double happiness in his hand and didn't know why.

The emperor went down with satisfaction in the atmosphere of sudden reduction.
