Don't say that the enthronement ceremony is over at this time.
Even if the memorial is halfway through, the emperor must read it first.
Wang Wei came down and took the wooden box, carefully checked the wax seal and sealing strips on it, and only opened it after confirming that they were intact, took out the memorial and presented it to the emperor.
Princess Rui's heart was lifted up as she clutched the silk handkerchief tightly with both hands.
Prince Rui suddenly reached out and, using his sleeve to cover her hand, grabbed hers and whispered, "Don't worry, no matter what it is, Qingtian is our treasure. At worst, we can just not bring her into the palace anymore."
After hearing this, Princess Rui also came to her senses and finally relaxed.
The emperor took the memorial from Wang Wei.
No one in the hall dared to look directly at the emperor, so they all turned their eyes to Wang Wei.
Wang Wei was stared at so hard that his back started sweating even in the cold weather.
The emperor looked serious at first, but the more he looked at his face, the more excited he became. In the end, he slammed the memorial he had just read on the dragon table.
"Well, this is really good news!"
Hearing that it was good news, a sound of exhalation was suddenly heard in the hall.
It turned out that everyone was equally nervous just now, but when they heard the emperor say that it was good news, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor excitedly raised his hand and beckoned to Prince Rui, "Seventh Brother, come and take a look."
Prince Rui had been extremely curious for a long time, so he quickly stepped forward to unfold the memorial, glanced through it, and immediately his brows lit up with joy.
"Congratulations, my Royal Brother! Congratulations, my Royal Brother! You have accomplished something that no emperor since the previous dynasty has been able to do. Your name will surely be recorded in history and go down in history!"
After hearing what Prince Rui said, the others became more curious.
Fortunately, Prince Rui quickly turned around and said to the civil and military officials below, "This year, the weather in Da Qi has been favorable, and the grain harvest has been abundant.
“But you may not know that the Northwest grasslands have suffered a long-lasting drought, which has caused the grasslands to dry up and water to be scarce.
"Now it's winter, and they're experiencing a cold spell that rarely occurs in a century.
“Those nomadic people have no fodder to feed their cattle, horses and lambs.
"They wanted to repeat their old tricks and come to our Great Qi to plunder and rob, but they were defeated every time by our Great Qi soldiers.
"Now they can no longer hold out, so they have submitted a letter of surrender to our Great Qi, proactively requesting to become a vassal state, and only ask for our assistance. They promise to pay tribute to our Great Qi every year and be our vassal for generations."
This sudden good news stunned all the civil and military officials in the hall.
The hall was silent for a while before someone finally cheered.
This is truly something that no emperor in history has been able to do. No wonder the emperor had difficulty controlling his excitement for a moment.
As the ministers reacted, discussions broke out in the hall, making it a chaotic mess.
But the emperor was in a very good mood at the moment and did not care about these trivial matters. Instead, he said to Prince Rui who was standing beside him, "Seventh Brother, when the Imperial Astronomical Observatory obtained Qingtian's birth date and horoscope to calculate an auspicious date, it said that although Qingtian's life would have some setbacks in the early stages, it would be smooth sailing in the future and he would be blessed.
“I didn’t expect them to actually say it!
"Who would have thought that during her enthronement ceremony, I would receive such great news!"
The two brothers were talking in low voices upstairs, and the ministers below were chattering away. The whole hall was filled with an atmosphere of relaxation and joy.
The emperor was so pleased that he called Wang Wei over and said, "Go and prepare. I will double Qingtian's reward today."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
"Wait a minute, and I remember that the Grand Madam's Mansion has been empty ever since my aunt's accident, right?"
"Yes, the things and servants in the mansion are still there."
"Just have someone replace the plaque and give this house to Qingtian, along with the contents and staff."
"Yes!" Wang Wei's voice couldn't help but tremble.
You know, the Queen was deeply favored by the late emperor and was constantly rewarded with various gifts during festivals.
Later, the late Queen Mother also showed her favor.
The current emperor has continued this tradition, and the gift lists for the three festivals and two birthdays every year are only generous and not skimpy.
Therefore, the various rare treasures, antiques, gold and silver treasures in the mansion are an incalculable fortune.
Just give it to Princess Qingtian with a wave of your hand?
Even a rootless person like Wang Wei couldn't help but feel envious.
What kind of blessing is this, to be treated like this?
After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal him to go down and take care of it. Finally, he said, "Go and call Ye Qingshan over to me first."
When Ye Qingshan heard that the emperor was calling him, he did not dare to delay. He told Ye Lao Da and Ye Dasao to stand here and not walk around, and then he quickly came to the dragon table.
"Lord Ye, you are most familiar with the situation in the northwest. Since they have suddenly surrendered, why not let you take charge of the situation?"
Ye Qingshan himself didn't expect that such a great thing would happen to him.
He came from the Northwest Army and was very familiar with the work style there.
If they were not absolutely sure, they would not have sent the news to the capital by express delivery over 800 miles.
If they dare to do this, it means that the nomadic peoples in the northwest have really been pacified and are just waiting for the court to send someone to accept the letter of surrender and sign a treaty of annual tribute and assistance.
Not only is this a good job that allows you to gain credit for nothing, but you might even be able to leave your name in history.
Such a great thing actually fell into my head so easily.
