Upon hearing Emperor Wen's words, Yun Ting and the other two's faces changed drastically.
This is almost equivalent to imprisoning them!
Once they are imprisoned, how can they compete for the position of crown prince?
“Father…”
Yun Ting suddenly raised his head, his face full of sorrow as he wailed: "Your son..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Wen suddenly interrupted Yun Ting and said, "Do you want to go back on your own, or do you want me to send someone to escort you back?"
escort!
To put it bluntly, it means escort!
Yun Ting swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
...
...
Those who originally wanted to plead for the three people also wisely shut their mouths.
Emperor Wen is very angry now. Anyone who dares to stand up and plead for mercy will definitely bring bad luck to him.
The three men kowtowed to Emperor Wen with grief and indignation on their faces, staggered to their feet, and left with a heart full of resentment and humiliation.
Emperor Wen's expression eased slightly only after the three men left.
"Sixth Brother!"
Emperor Wen's gaze fell on Yun Zheng again.
"Your son is here!"
Yun Zheng stood up quickly.
Emperor Wen raised his eyes slightly and said, "Tell me, how should I reward these palace soldiers of yours?"
"this……"
Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly, "It's up to father to decide."
He knew in his heart that Emperor Wen was giving him the opportunity to ask for rewards for these soldiers, so as to win their hearts and make them fight to the death for him.
But unfortunately, he couldn't do that because he didn't want Emperor Wen to see how clever he was.
Only he who cannot understand his father's thoughts can make his father feel at ease.
"Useless stuff!"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng unhappily, then after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I remember that your one thousand soldiers only had twenty war horses, right?"
"yes."
Yun Zheng nodded honestly.
Emperor Wen: "How about this, I will lend you 980 war horses!"
"ah?"
Yun Zheng was overjoyed.
Good father!
This means that all of his own soldiers will be turned into cavalry!
"Ah what?"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng in anger and said in a stern voice: "Listen to me carefully! I loan you these 980 war horses! When you return victorious from Shuobei one day, you must return them to me double the amount!"
"yes!"
Yun Zheng quickly agreed.
Borrowing is just an excuse.
The emperor hopes that he can achieve military merit and return safely!
well!
The way he did this made me feel even more embarrassed to rebel against him.
I hope that after I arrive in Shuobei in the future, their father-son relationship can still be maintained!
However, Yun Zheng knew in his heart that this possibility was very small.
Once I make some noise in Shuobei, once my father finds out he has been deceived by me, the honeymoon period between them may be over!
"Du Guiyuan!"
Emperor Wen spoke again.
"The little one is here."
Du Guiyuan hurried out.
Emperor Wen looked at Du Guiyuan with admiration, "You have made an invaluable contribution to your great victory this time!"
Du Guiyuan's face was a little hot, and he bowed and said, "It's all thanks to His Highness the Sixth Prince and the Princess. I dare not take credit for it."
“That’s enough!”
Emperor Wen waved his hand and said, "I know who deserves the credit!"
Du Guiyuan forced a smile, but he felt bitter in his heart.
This is really not his credit!
Emperor Wen pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You are Lao Liu's guard, so I cannot give you an official position. So, I will give you a BMW, a set of top-grade armor, and grant you the privilege of not bowing when meeting an official!"
Hearing about Emperor Wen's rewards, many people showed envy on their faces.
BMW naturally needs no introduction.
Who among those who fight on the battlefield doesn’t like a BMW horse?
Only generals of the fourth rank and above are qualified to wear top-grade armor.
As for the privilege of not bowing when meeting an official, it is even more practical.
With this privilege, Du Guiyuan only had to bow when meeting anyone except Emperor Wen.
Of course, when he met Emperor Wen, he still had to perform the proper etiquette.
If you don’t bow when you meet an official, you don’t bow when you enter the court!
Du Guiyuan was slightly stunned, then immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand gently to signal Du Guiyuan to leave, and then said to Yun Zheng: "I have already lent you nearly a thousand war horses. I will not reward the others one by one! As for the rest, you can do it yourself!"
Emperor Wen left the opportunity to reward the rest of the people to Yun Zheng, giving Yun Zheng another chance to win the hearts of the people.
"I understand, son."
Yun Zheng nodded, feeling extremely happy.
I didn’t expect that!
A martial arts performance allowed him to upgrade his rifles to cannons!
Now, Du Guiyuan and the others will no longer ask me for war horses!
"Qin Qihu, Yuan Gui!"
Emperor Wen summoned the two men again.
The two men were filled with trepidation, and they walked forward with their heads down and bowed.
The two knew in their hearts that they were in trouble.
The defeat was so disastrous that the three princes had already been punished. There was no way they could escape.
Emperor Wen raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Although you two have not committed any serious fault, you have wasted my painstaking arrangements. You two will each be punished with ten military sticks. I hope you two will remember today's lesson!"
"I accept the punishment!"
The two of them quickly obeyed the order.
Ten military sticks are indeed not a lot.
This can't be considered a punishment, it's just a beating at most.
Just as the two were about to go down to receive their punishment, Emperor Wen stopped Qin Qihu and said, "Forget it, don't go and receive the military stick! Anyway, your father will definitely teach you a lesson when he gets back!"
Qin Qihu choked slightly and looked at Emperor Wen bitterly, "Your Majesty, I will accept the punishment!"
He would rather be beaten with ten military sticks.
He would certainly be injured after being hit with ten military sticks, but it was well within his endurance.
But when his father starts to take action, it’s a different story.
"Are you itching for something? Do you dare to negotiate with His Majesty?"
Qin Liugan instantly got furious and stared at Qin Qihu with his eyes fixed.
That appearance looks very ferocious.
Qin Qihu shrank his neck and dared not say anything more.
"Okay, let's go back and teach them a lesson!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand to stop Qin Liugan who was about to rush out and beat someone up.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely teach this bastard a lesson!"
Qin Liugan clenched his fists until they creaked, and Qin Qihu shrank his neck when he heard it.
Emperor Wen smiled faintly and reminded: "Just give him a proper lesson, don't be too harsh! I still need him to contribute!"
Qin Liugan nodded heavily and said with gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this bastard has thick skin and flesh, and there will be no problem if he is beaten!"
Seeing how forcefully he nodded, everyone knew that Qin Qihu was bound to be severely beaten.
Yun Zheng saw it and could only look at Qin Qihu apologetically.
He didn't want Qin Qihu to be punished either!
But there was no choice, he had to win.
This time, I can only apologize to Qin Qihu.
Let’s go back to his house and apologize to him!
Those who deserved rewards had been rewarded, and those who deserved punishments had been punished. Emperor Wen had no intention of staying here any longer, so he went straight back to the palace and asked them to stay here and continue to recruit those who had not returned yet.
As soon as Emperor Wen left, Qin Qihu was about to go to Yun Zheng to complain, but was called away by Qin Liugan.
Yun Zheng was about to chase after him and plead for mercy for Qin Qihu, but the old scoundrel glared at him with his eyes wide open, "Get out of my way! I'm furious now, be careful or I'll beat you up too!"
"Forehead……"
Yun Zheng suddenly stopped and said bitterly: "Duke Rong, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Qin..."
"Get lost!"
Qin Liu dared to interrupt Yun Zheng rudely, and left with Qin Qihu with a dark face.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I hope this old rogue won’t be too cruel!
Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to see Qin Qihu...
