Not to mention those far away, how many children died in the palace alone?
The emperor said to Wang Wei, "Take your men to the storehouse to find some useful medicinal herbs, as well as anything that can report safety. Find them all, one by one, and send them to Prince Rui's mansion as soon as possible.
"Tell Old Seven that when Qingtian wakes up, I will give her another reward."
We can still wait for sunny days, but the rewards for the officers and soldiers must be distributed as soon as possible, otherwise if everyone's hearts are cold, he, the emperor, will also be in trouble.
Ye Qingshan received the news from the court and quickly began to prepare rewards according to merit.
Ye Laosi really benefited from this opportunity this time. Not only was his position promoted, he even received a reward of twenty taels of silver.
"Brother Qingshan, I..." Ye Laosi always felt that he was unworthy of the meritorious service and reward this time.
"Old Four, what's wrong?" Ye Qingshan asked curiously.
"Brother Qingshan, I didn't do anything this time, nor did I help in any way. When everyone was bravely fighting the enemy at the front, I was still trying to overcome my own psychological state and didn't even dare to put a knife on them.
"Although I know they are traitors and deserve to die, I still can't bring myself to do it...
"Even after so many days, I still dream about what these people looked like before they died, and I wake up in shock."
"It's always like this after the first time you kill someone." Ye Qingshan raised his hand and patted Ye Laosi's shoulder, saying, "I went through this the same way back then.
“If you need to talk to someone these days, please feel free to come and see me.
"If I'm not at home, I can go find my close followers.
"Talking about what's going on in your head and what you're afraid of can be very helpful."
Ye Qingshan continued, "Of course, in the end, you still have to be strong enough to get through this.
"As for your statement that you feel unworthy of this, that is really a bit self-deprecating.
"If you hadn't reminded me that there might be a tunnel under the villa, I might have let everyone escape!
“Even if they rush to the capital, they will not be able to get through the defense personnel arranged by Lord Qin.
"But the safest and most honorable approach is to eliminate this hidden danger within ourselves."
Ye Qingshan was transferred back from the border by the emperor. Although his living environment and conditions had greatly improved, he still could not integrate into the court and other colleagues.
However, he made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time, and it was obvious afterwards that the attitude of other ministers towards him was completely different from before.
So he raised his hand and patted Ye Laosi's shoulder and said, "You have to really do something, so that others won't look down on you."
After hearing what Ye Qingshan said, Ye Laosi finally breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the reward calmly.
He was promoted again at a young age, and not only received a bonus but also a monthly salary increase.
When his subordinates found out, they immediately clamored for him to treat them.
Ye Laosi was not a stingy person, so that night he took everyone out to find a place to drink and eat.
Unexpectedly, by coincidence, I ran into the Zhou family who were entertaining guests in this restaurant.
However, they had already finished their meal and were about to leave when they ran into Ye Laosi and others in the corridor.
When Ye Laosi saw Zhou's father, mother and brother, he immediately went forward to greet them politely.
Seeing this, the relative looked at Ye Lao Si from head to toe and asked with a smile: "Brother, who is this? He doesn't look like a relative of ours. Why don't I recognize him?"
Hearing this, Brother Zhou introduced the two of them, "Old Four, this is my second uncle and second aunt.
"Uncle, aunt, this is Ye Zhonghou of the Imperial Guard."
Although Uncle Zhou Er and Aunt Zhou Er met Ye Lao Si for the first time, they had already heard that their eldest brother's family had found a middle-ranking official of the Yulin Guard as a son-in-law for their daughter.
So when they heard that the person coming was Miss Zhou's fiancé, they immediately became excited.
That look seemed as if he wanted to see through Ye Laosi's internal organs.
Ye Laosi had been scrutinized by the two men just now, but this time he was more open and frank.
After looking him up and down, Aunt Zhou was the first to ask, "What rank is Zhonghou?"
"Seventh rank, lower grade."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou immediately curled her lips and her expression became full of disdain.
"Oh, big brother, big sister-in-law, you two have loved your daughter so much since she was young. I thought there would be no one in the world who could be worthy of your daughter.
"Now, suddenly seeing the son-in-law you chose, he seems to be just an ordinary person!"
Aunt Zhou raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and chuckled a few times before continuing, "At the beginning, I wanted to match my nephew with your daughter, but you two were extremely reluctant.
"This guy I'm looking for now...his appearance and character seem so-so, and his position isn't high either. I really don't know how he can compare to my nephew from my mother's side!"
When these words were spoken, Zhou's father, mother and eldest brother all frowned.
Aunt Zhou is clearly lying with her eyes open.
Last year, she did want to introduce her nephew to Miss Zhou. The nephew was also a businessman. His business was bigger than Zhou's and his family was better off.
But her nephew from her mother's side was short and fat, and could not compare with Ye Laosi in terms of height, figure or appearance.
The only thing the other party can offer is probably that their financial resources are comparable to those of the Zhou family.
His family spent a large sum of money to donate him a seventh-rank official position.
