Chapter 126 Rewards based on merit
The next day.
When Shang Tingli woke up, she subconsciously reached out to touch the side, but unexpectedly grabbed nothing. Her mind became clearer, and when she opened her eyes, there was no one beside her.
She couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that she had dreamed about Ke Xingchen last night?
"Ugh--"
Shang Tingli sighed with some regret, it was so sad, ninety thousand taels were gone just like that. She lay down with her eyes closed and stretched, her left hand hit something wooden with a "bang", she opened her eyes suddenly in shock, stretched out her hand to touch the thing she just hit, it was probably a box.
"Wasn't that a dream?"
Shang Tingli sat up suddenly, turned his head and took a look at the innermost part of the bed, where there lay a rosewood jewelry box inlaid with eight treasures.
Her eyes lit up immediately.
Oh my God, her ninety thousand taels are back!
Shang Tingli happily got up and went to wash.
I had just taken a few bites of breakfast when I heard noise outside the house. It was Ke Xin coming back.
Shang Tingli thought about it and put down her chopsticks. She was about to go out to greet them when she stood up and saw Ke Xin step into the house. She stayed there and bowed to him.
Ke Xin looked at the breakfast on the table. There were only three things on it: a bowl of wontons, a tray of dumplings, and a bowl of red bean and barley porridge. During the days when he had breakfast with her, he had already understood her habits. She was not a wasteful person. She usually ate as much as she could for breakfast, instead of having eighty or ninety dishes even if she couldn't eat too much.
"Have your meal first," he said.
Shang Tingli nodded and sat back down to eat breakfast.
After eating and drinking, Shang Tingli took the initiative to ask: "Did the emperor give any reward to the prince at the court this morning?"
Since he rushed back last night, he must go to the palace to see the emperor today. Those who went to Shabei together will probably be rewarded according to their merits, but I don't know what reward he will get.
Ke Xin said: "It's not about rewarding people based on merit today."
Shang Tingli blinked and asked, "Isn't it today?"
[It's strange. When the Fourth Prince returned from Shabei last time, he heard about the reward the next day. And it was also the same when the generals returned to the capital in triumph. Why is it not the case this time? ]
Ke Xin explained: "Brother Yunyan and the others are still on their way. They are expected to return to the capital around December. Uncle Huang said that we have to wait until everyone returns before we can decide on the merits and rewards."
Somehow, after saying this, his ears turned red.
Shang Tingli did not notice his red ears, and just said, "So that's how it is."
Ke Xin nodded, looked at her and said, "I heard from my mother that your father-in-law is the eldest master of the He family?"
It was only after he heard what his mother said that he understood what she meant last night. No wonder she tried so hard to plead for him for the sake of money, so that he would not be torn to pieces by a chariot again. It was because she was the cousin of the future empress, and even if he got into trouble like in his previous life, she would have someone to protect him, and she was willing to plead for him.
He smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"Yes." Shang Tingli laughed, "Do you find it incredible?"
Inevitably, she recalled the time when she met the prince in Nanwu. At that time, the prince wanted her to recognize someone, maybe it was someone she knew. Unexpectedly, it was someone she knew, not just someone she knew, but someone she was quite familiar with, her father.
What a fate this is, it is really touching.
Ke Xin smiled and said, "It's okay. After all, nothing is impossible."
Shang Tingli smiled slightly and said nothing.
In the next few days, Ke Xin did not go to court again. He slept until noon as usual and had breakfast with Shang Tingli.
It was not until April 13 that Ke Xin attended the morning court again. Because Ke Yu returned to the capital with a large army on the 12th, Ke Xin followed him into the palace that day and attended the court again the next day.
It was also on the thirteenth day that Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty rewarded the troops who had marched north.
The crown prince Ke Yu was awarded 50,000 taels of gold and a box of jewels. The second prince Ke Rui was named King Xuan and awarded 10,000 taels of gold, with his fief in Wanzhou. The fourth prince Ke Ming was named King Zhou and awarded 10,000 taels of gold, with his fief in Shabei.
The son of Prince Ren, Ke Xin, was given the title of General Anbei, a third rank official, and rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver. Sima Yu'an, the third young master of the Yong'an Marquisate, was given the title of General Zhengbei, a third rank official, and rewarded with 8,000 taels of silver.
Apart from these two, the young masters from the noble families who followed him out only received 5,000 taels of silver. Ji Zhang, a fifth-rank general of the Guide Lang, was also promoted, but only back to the fifth-rank general of the Guide Lang, with a reward of 2,000 taels of silver.
When the news came out, Shang Tingli was so happy that he almost went silly.
She knew that Yu Lanxi's efforts would be in vain, and even if Ji Zhang was promoted he would at most return to his original position, and it turned out to be true!
Oh, in the future she will not only be the Crown Princess of Prince Ren, but also the wife of General Anbei. No matter what her identity is, Yu Lanxi will have to greet her when she sees her. She is so happy.
Another thing that made Shang Tingli happy was that Ke Xin did not plan to hold a banquet in the mansion.
However, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty would hold a palace banquet on the fifteenth day to welcome his meritorious officials.
There was another thing that made Shang Tingli happy. He heard that under the leadership of the prince, the border between Beiman and Shabei was conquered. Beiman still wanted to marry Tianzhao as in the previous life, but this time it was not Tianzhao who sent the princess, but Beiman who sent the princess.
Although Lingyun had already been engaged to her cousin and the tragic ending of her previous life was far away from her, it was not until this moment that Shang Tingli finally felt relieved.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Ji family on South Street.
"boom--"
Yu Lanxi smashed a teacup in anger and glared at Ji Zhang: "What the hell is going on? How come you were only promoted one level? How is this different from before? How come Ke Xin can be promoted to a third-rank official directly, but you are only a fifth-rank official?"
She was absolutely furious.
The third rank and the fifth rank sound like there is only a gap of two levels, but in between are two fourth ranks and one third rank, the gap is much more than just two levels!
Ji's mother, who was standing by, was frightened by her roar and looked extremely unhappy, but she dared not say anything.
Ji Zhang exhaled and smiled bitterly: "Xi'er, you also know that I am just a commoner. Who in front of me is not a young master of a rich family? Even if I want to compete, how can I win? What's more -" He paused, "The emperor's will, how can we, a villain, change it at will?"
Yu Lanxi's breath was choked.
After listening carefully, she immediately felt that his words made sense. Yes, whether it was Ke Xin or Sima Yu'an, they were both noble sons from the royal palaces. How could Ji Zhang, a peasant, fight against them?
"It must be those two who shamelessly stole your credit! Bah—" Yu Lanxi cursed angrily.
Ji Zhang lowered his head and said nothing, looking extremely distressed. In a place where no one else could see, his eyes flickered.
