Chapter 530: Once There Is a Second
Chen Huazheng was already a little distracted as she listened to the adults arguing.
When she heard this, she immediately stood up straight, feeling a little excited.
Here it comes, it’s time to reward Yan Yan!!
The others also concentrated and pricked up their ears silently.
Although the entire Daliang knew that Yan Yan had made great contributions in the Southwest Campaign this time, they also knew that Yan Yan followed General Yan back to the capital to receive rewards from the court.
However, the court did not reveal any information about what reward would be given to Yan Yan this time.
Everyone was curious about what Emperor Jingning would reward Yan Yan with in the end.
When the generals suggested that Yan Yan should be rewarded handsomely, their voices seemed quite loud, but they were unsure in their hearts.
In addition to Yan Yan, the rewards for other meritorious generals need to be finalized.
The generals in the Southwestern Army who had made meritorious services were rewarded with promotions and titles.
Even the most ordinary soldier can climb up through military achievements.
Not to mention other rewards, at least it will be no problem to get a position in the army.
But Yan Yan's situation is different from others.
Although she followed General Yan to the battlefield several times, she did not serve in the Southwest Army.
Logically speaking, in the battle between Daliang and Dongyi, Yan Yan was not qualified to replace General Yan on the battlefield.
However, just before departure, General Yan suffered a relapse of his old illness and was unable to go into battle.
Although Yan Yan could be said to have been given the task in a time of crisis, Emperor Jingning later tacitly agreed to let her fight in place of General Yan.
But if we really want to ask for a reward for her afterwards, those pedantic and stubborn civil officials might find fault with us.
Thinking of this, the generals all sighed in their hearts.
Alas, every time I argue with those civil servants, I always lose to them.
However, no matter how good the civil servants are at talking, they cannot defeat their fists.
Asking for reward for Yan Yan this time was the most normal thing to do.
If anyone still jumps out to object.
Then don't blame them for being disrespectful in front of the emperor.
Anyway, they are just a bunch of rough guys and don't really understand the rules.
Sometimes when you are arguing with someone and get emotional, it is common to accidentally push someone or throw a punch or kick.
Emperor Jingning seemed to be in high spirits as well: "Regarding Yan Yan's reward, do you have any good suggestions?"
Before the court officials could react, the Minister of War, Mr. Song, stood up.
"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the Yan family is brave and good at fighting, and she is as brave as any man. This time she has made such great achievements in the war. I beg Your Majesty to let the eldest daughter of the Yan family serve in the Southwest Army to comfort the soldiers."
As soon as these words were spoken, other generals echoed them.
"Mr. Song's words make sense. Your Majesty, please grant your approval."
"Your Majesty, I second the motion."
"I second the motion!!"
Everyone else was stunned. They thought the generals would ask for some other rewards for Yan Yan, but they didn't expect that they would ask for this.
Some people who are not used to women being officials frowned when they heard this. Why do some people always want to push women into their team?
The reason why Yan Yan was allowed to go to the battlefield was because of General Yan.
Although Yan Yan made great contributions in this southwest war, she was not qualified to go to the battlefield as a main general.
If we really want to investigate, at most her merits and demerits offset each other.
Why do you want to serve in the Southwestern Army now?
This is against the rules.
However, they only dared to think these words in their hearts and did not dare to say them out loud.
Although it was against rules for Yan Yan to go to the battlefield as a commander, her ability to lead troops in battle was obvious to all.
Now the whole Daliang regards Yan Yan as a hero. If they rashly step out to prevent her from serving in the Southwest Army, they will probably be drowned in spit.
Some people think that women should not show their faces in public, but they dare not act rashly and only place their hopes on Li Yushi and others.
Those imperial censors have always believed that women serving as officials is against the imperial order. Allowing women to enter the government is simply stepping on their tails.
The incident with Chen Huazheng was fine, as the circumstances were special.
But this time the generals proposed to let Yan Yan serve in the army, and they would definitely jump out to oppose it.
Unexpectedly, Li Yushi and others, who usually looked down on women, remained silent.
The censors said that although they felt uncomfortable, there was nothing they could do.
Originally, I wanted to stop Shen Huazheng from becoming an official in the court, but wasn't the final result obvious to all?
Later, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family became the heir to the title of Marquis of Lin'an, and later became the first female marquis of Daliang.
When making that decision, Your Majesty had no intention of discussing it with them.
This woman can serve as an official in the court and inherit the title of marquis. Does she still need a female general?
Why did they stop Shen Huazheng from entering the government? Wasn't it because if something like this happened once, it would happen again?
From the moment Chen Huazheng entered Sinong Temple and became the director of Shanglin Office, the door had been opened.
Now it is useless for them to stop it.
Besides, if you want to go against someone, you have to consider the occasion and the person.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but ever since Lord Song stepped out, someone from the generals’ side had been staring at them viciously.
It looked like he was threatening them not to talk nonsense.
When I went against those civil officials, the most I could do was to be so angry that I wanted to vomit blood.
But if they really stick to their own way and jump out to oppose the generals' proposals, they will probably be beaten to a pulp.
Each of those generals was strong and ferocious.
Their small bodies could not withstand the beating from those generals.
