"However, I have always had a question. Since Jin Wu is that person's lackey, why is he not recorded in the roster?"
Because the list is fake... Wei Ting said calmly: "It is recorded that your Majesty is in the middle."
"Really?" Emperor Jingxuan hadn't been to the Imperial Study for a few days. He asked Eunuch Fu to bring the list. He flipped to the middle and indeed saw the names of Commander Jin, Deputy Commander Liu and others. "Maybe I missed it last time."
Wei Ting: No, I added it in time.
In addition to Su Cheng, Wei Ting, who killed the rebels, also made great contributions. He was originally a fourth-rank Wuwei general, and now he has been promoted to a third-rank Pingbei general.
The civil officials are so jealous that they are almost dying. No wonder they say that military generals are promoted quickly. You have to know that they work so hard that they can't even get promoted to any official position in three to six years.
Xiao Shunyang and Xiao Chonghua were rewarded with the titles of Prince Rui and Prince An for their contributions in suppressing the rebellion. The eldest prince Xiao Duye did not get to join the group and was not eligible for the title of prince. He was so angry that his teeth ached.
Princess Jingning, Princess Hui'an and the daughters of other palace scholars also received generous rewards from Emperor Jingxuan, who praised them for their achievements that were as good as any men.
Everyone was touched. After this incident, they became not only classmates but also comrades.
Finally, it’s Su Xiaoxiao.
She protected the queen, saved the second prince, and killed three masters, and her contribution was indispensable.
It was a pity that women could not be officials, so after some consideration, Emperor Jingxuan conferred her the title of Fourth-Rank Lady and bestowed upon her a plaque of the title of Miracle Doctor and a token of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
“Although I don’t have the position of imperial physician, I have the reality of being an imperial physician.”
This is the limit of what Emperor Jingxuan can do.
Su Xiaoxiao thanks the Lord for his grace.
The national treasury was empty and Emperor Jingxuan was poor, so he could forget about rewarding gold or anything like that. He even wanted to borrow money from Su Xiaoxiao.
"Being able to enter the palace openly and see the ladies in the palaces is also a considerable income. This token is useful."
Su Xiaoxiao left the palace contentedly.
Where there is reward, there is punishment. Commander Jin and others were sentenced to beheading, Sikong Yun was imprisoned, and Prime Minister Guo escaped because he had a stroke and was unable to join the rebellion. Sometimes the one who survives to the end may not be the mastermind behind the scenes, but rather this kind of "coward".
In just twenty days, the Queen Mother experienced great ups and downs, and fell seriously ill on the second day after the coup.
Su Xiaoxiao went to visit her, but did not tell her the truth about Prince Nanyang and Xiao Jun, because she didn't know how to say it.
"I often feel like there are two of me in my head..."
Even if the Prince of Nanyang came to tell the Queen Mother these words in person, she might not understand, let alone an outsider like her who was relaying them.
The second is that a false joy is better than the pain of separation.
Su Xiaoxiao asked the three little guys to spend more time with her. The three little tigers crawled all over her body, and soon the haze in her heart disappeared.
She looked at the three chubby little guys and the smile returned to her lips.
In the afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao took the three little ones to the Imperial College to pick up Su Ergou after school, and then they went back to the Su family together. Yes, they went back.
The old marquis and Su Yuan escorted Princess Lingxi to the Western Jin Dynasty as ambassadors of marriage, and the rest of the people were still there.
When Old Madam Su saw her precious grandson and great-grandson, she was so excited that she held the three little ones in her arms and refused to let go. If Su Ergou and Su Xiaoxiao were not too old for her to hold them, she would have wanted to hold them too.
"Grandma! Grandma!"
The three little ones scrambled to get into her arms.
The three little ones had a complete mess of how to address their elders. They couldn’t call them uncle, so they all called them grandma.
Old Madam Su's arms were filled to the brim and she couldn't stop smiling.
"Hey, let me see who's here?"
"mother."
Su Li ran into Tao at the door and greeted her in a very polite manner!
He is the most handsome boy in the capital! Tao pushed him away without even looking at him, and walked towards Su Ergou and the three little guys with a smile.
Su Li, who was once again severely disliked by her own mother, said: "..."
Su Xiaoxiao found Su Xuan reading quietly in the garden.
"Fourth cousin."
"This is not an ordinary amulet, it is a top-ranking amulet blessed by a master in the temple. I have to go to see patients for the Autumn Examination next month, so I may not be in the capital at that time. I wish you all the best in the exam and get your name on the gold medal!"
Su Xuan took it and put it away carefully: "Thank you."
After a moment, Su Xuan smiled softly: "Well done."
Su Xiaoxiao realized that he was referring to Xiao Jun, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Actually... I didn't do anything. I wasn't the main force this time."
She lay down almost the entire time.
Su Xuan smiled and did not argue with her about how great her cohesion and influence were: "I can give you a reward."
"There is a reward? Is it gold?" Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
The fourth cousin is the richest, and she has been coveting his gold for a long time.
Su Xuan tilted his head and looked at her, smiling softly: "A piece of news that is more valuable than gold."
Su Xiaoxiao refused and said, "No, no, no, I want gold."
Su Xuan said: "Wei Erlang is still alive, this is about his whereabouts."
…
Wei family.
Old Lady Wei started to tinker with her own stuff again.
Her face was filled with deep resentment and bitterness.
"It's been sung before when a widow visited a grave, and before when a grandson died at a young age..."
She had to perform a different scene every day and she felt like she was running out of roles to play.
"Want to... do it again?"
"It would be great if the second brother was still here. He understands the eldest brother's thoughts best."
Thinking of Wei Erlang, Old Lady Wei felt heartbroken.
He was a bastard and his mother died when he was born. The most sensible among his brothers was not the eldest brother Wei Chen, but the second oldest who was most easily overlooked.
As the heir, Wei Chen is always in the military camp. His younger brothers were all raised by the second oldest. When Wei Yan and Wei Ting were naughty when they were young, they were caught and punished by their father, and he was the one who took the beatings for his two younger brothers.
After becoming a father, he loved Wei Xiyue so much that he was the one who held her in his arms during the confinement period.
No matter what others said about Wei Xiyue being different from other children, he always believed that his Xiyue was the best. He said he wanted to be the best father in the world and that he wanted to watch Xiyue grow up...
"Old Madam, why are you crying again?" When Nanny Li entered the room, she saw that Old Madam Wei's eyes were red.
"No, I just miss the second brother a little bit. I think of him all the time recently." Old Lady Wei wiped her tears and returned to her normal expression, "Where's Chen'er?"
"Go out." Nanny Li's expression was indescribable.
Old Lady Wei frowned and asked, "Going to Lihua Lane again?"
Nanny Li laughed dryly and said nothing.
Gui Bu came to kill Ling Yun again.
"Make your move!" he said coldly.
Ling Yun's mouth twitched. How many times has this month happened? Can I kill you with my piano?
The two men fought again.
The family next door had tolerated this troublesome neighbor for a long time, and finally reported it to the police when their eaves were damaged for the fifth time.
The one who came was the new deputy commander of the Imperial City Division.
The new official took three big steps upon taking office. Su Cheng put the interests of the country above his own and put the two men into jail.
One's sword was confiscated, the other's zither was taken away, and the two were imprisoned in the same cell and became loving cellmates.
