Chapter 45 Changing Lanterns



Emperor Wen wanted to go to Yun Zheng's house, and Yun Zheng couldn't stop him.

After ordering the commander of the city patrol to deliver the horses to the Shenwu Army, Emperor Wen, in a good mood, ordered people to go to the Sixth Prince's palace.

While he was happy, Emperor Wen began to worry again.

What should I give as a reward to Lao Liu?

It seems unreasonable to accept hundreds of excellent war horses from Lao Liu without any reward.

But the rewards for Lao Liu’s previous meritorious service had not yet been given out, and now he has made another meritorious service!

For a moment, he didn't know how to reward.

Just when Emperor Wen was worried, Mu Shun followed him up and reported to him through the curtain of the carriage: "Your Majesty, just now someone from the post station came to report that the Sixth Prince made Banbu so angry that he vomited blood, and asked whether to send an imperial physician to take a look..."

"What?"

Emperor Wen suddenly opened the curtain and asked, "Can Lao Liu make the old thief Bambu so angry that he vomited blood?"

...

...

"yes!"

Mu Shun nodded.

"Tell me quickly what's going on. Let me be happy too."

Emperor Wen was in high spirits, with a particularly bright smile on his face.

During the battle of Shuobei, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Lao Liu avenged him today!

Seeing Emperor Wen's happy expression, Mu Shun couldn't help but choke slightly.

have to!

It seems there is no need to invite the imperial physician!

"I don't know the specific situation."

Mu Shun smiled and said, "How about I send someone to ask now?"

"No need, just let Lao Liu tell you later!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand and frowned again, saying, "Old Six has made continuous contributions in the past few days. Mu Shun, please give me some advice. How do you think I should reward Old Six?"

"I don't know."

Mu Shun answered immediately.

He dared not say such things.

Emperor Wen glared at Mu Shun and said, "Just say it when I tell you to!"

Mu Shun laughed dryly, thought for a moment, and then tentatively said, "The Sixth Prince's wedding is coming soon. Your Majesty can reward the Sixth Prince with some money and property."

"nonsense!"

Emperor Wen was displeased and said, "Of course I have to reward him with money and property, but how? According to Lao Liuli's merits, a reward of 100,000 taels of gold would be considered too little! But if I really reward him with so much money and property, I'm afraid I will have to bear the pain for a long time."

Yun Zheng's contribution, to put it simply, was to save face for him and Da Gan, and to get Da Gan a scarce war horse.

To put it in a broader sense, it is about recovering lost territory, turning the tide, and saving Daigan from dire straits.

He himself felt that it was not justifiable to just reward him with some money and property for such a contribution.

Mu Shun thought for a moment and said, "How about rewarding His Highness the Sixth Prince with a small official position?"

Official position?

Emperor Wen frowned.

Lao Liu was able to achieve great success thanks to the ancient book he read.

When it comes to civil and military affairs, Lao Liu is really not good enough.

Moreover, he had just said yesterday that the Sixth Prince did not need to attend court meetings anymore, but now he was rewarding him with an official position and asking him to participate in the discussion of state affairs, which was really inappropriate.

"Forget about the official position."

Emperor Wen waved his hand and said, "Old Six is ​​not cut out for this."

"this……"

Mu Shun choked slightly and said with a wry smile: "Then I don't know."

"Alright, alright, I'll figure it out myself!"

Emperor Wen did not make things difficult for Mu Shun and just lowered the curtain.

This is really a headache!

This bastard!

A Northern Huan delegation visited him and he achieved three great feats.

Does he want me to pay back the rewards I owe him for more than 20 years?

Along the way, Emperor Wen was both happy and worried.

After thinking for a long time, he still didn't know what to reward Lao Liu with.

Forget it, I’ll go ask Lao Liu later and see if he has any reward he wants!

Soon, they arrived at the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Emperor Wen got off the carriage and was about to enter the palace, but he stopped at the door.

"Tell someone to change the lantern at the door!"

Emperor Wen ordered Yun Zheng, "This is the Sixth Prince's residence after all, don't be so petty! Make it bright and grand for me!"

"yes……"

Yun Zheng agreed, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

This old bag is also a conspicuous bag!

After entering the mansion, Emperor Wen glanced at the butler intentionally or unintentionally, and almost kicked the butler away several times.

Lao Liu clearly won the bet, but he still said that Lao Liu’s life was about to be in danger!

I was in the middle of a lively mood, but it was interrupted!

You're spreading rumors without even understanding the situation!

never mind!

Let's use this as an excuse to transfer him away from Lao Liu!

Emperor Wen made up his mind and entered the palace with the respectful welcome of everyone.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on with your bet!"

As soon as Emperor Wen sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.

Talk about your sister!

I haven’t even eaten yet!

Yun Zheng complained in his heart, and then said: "It's rare for the emperor to come to my place, how about I ask someone to prepare some wine and food, and I will eat with you while we talk?"

Emperor Wen was not hungry, but when he thought of Banbu being so angry at Yun Zheng that he vomited blood, he suddenly felt better and nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing that Emperor Wen agreed, the servants in the mansion immediately began to prepare wine and food.

While waiting for the food and wine to be served, Emperor Wen came to the front yard again and ordered people to call in Du Guiyuan and the other three.

Yun Zheng was about to follow, but Emperor Wen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to follow me. I want to talk to them alone."

"yes!"

Yun Zheng stopped and prayed silently in his heart that this old guy would not poach his employees!

He had just been cheated out of several hundred excellent war horses by this old fellow. If he were to poach Du Guiyuan and the others as well, he would be really going to vomit blood.

"I, the humble citizen Du Guiyuan (Zuo Ren, Yu Shizhong), pay my respects to His Majesty."

In the front yard, Du Guiyuan and two other men knelt on the ground and saluted Emperor Wen.

"Get up!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand gently and stared at Du Guiyuan again, "Commander Du, do you still remember me?"

"I dare not forget."

Du Guiyuan answered respectfully.

Seeing Du Guiyuan no longer as sharp as before, Emperor Wen could not help but frown slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Zuo Ren and Yu Shizhong, "So you are also soldiers of the Bloody Clothes Army?"

"yes!"

The two of them nodded quickly.

Emperor Wen swept his sharp eyes over the three people and asked quietly, "Are you three disappointed and unwilling to work for Da Gan anymore?"

"I dare not."

The three of them quickly shook their heads.

"Do you dare? Haven't you all left the army?"

Emperor Wen sighed softly, "I already know about your affairs! I will give you justice, and also give justice to those soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for me!"

"Your Majesty is wise! Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

The three of them knelt down again.

Emperor Wen thought about it silently, and then sighed softly: "Since you don't want to stay in the army to serve, I won't make things difficult for you. You can stay in the Sixth Prince's mansion and serve the Sixth Prince!"

"yes!"

The three of them quickly agreed.

Just as they were talking, Yun Li hurriedly brought people to Yun Zheng's mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw people from Yun Zheng’s mansion changing lanterns.

Yun Li was delighted. Is Lao Liu dead?

Want to hang white lanterns?

Seeing Yun Li, the servant who was changing the lanterns quickly climbed down and saluted, "Greetings, Third Prince."

"What are you doing?"

Yun Li asked as he looked at the lantern that the servant had just taken down.

The servant quickly replied, "The emperor ordered me to change the lanterns."

Did the emperor give the order personally?

Yun Li was even more overjoyed.

It seems that Lao Liu is really dead!

Yun Li immediately put on a look of grief and anger and ran hurriedly into the mansion.

As soon as he entered the front yard, Yun Li saw Emperor Wen and Du Guiyuan and the other two kneeling in front of him.

Your Majesty, father, is punishing the people in the Sixth Master's mansion for failing to protect him properly!

Lao Liu is really dead!

Yun Li laughed wildly in his heart, squeezed out a few tears, stumbled forward, and pretended to cry: "Father, please accept my condolences..."
