The third and fourth princes were stunned when they heard Wanyan Lu's words. What did the second brother say?
He was not angry because they betrayed Wanyanbu, but he just asked which of these dishes was the most delicious?
The second brother is a foodie, as everyone in the Wanyan department knows, the key is whether he can get fat by eating.
Especially after following Agula back from the Central Plains, the second brother loved to eat even more, and even spent money to hire a cook from the Central Plains to cook various delicacies in various ways.
It's a pity that they were fighting on the front line at that time. Although they knew that the second brother had brought back a cook, they never had the chance to taste it.
Now that I have tasted this delicacy after arriving in the Central Plains, it is indeed delicious, delicious and much better than the barbecue and milk tea made by the cooks on the grasslands.
Now the second brother who has become the leader of the Wanyan tribe is still the same second brother who loves to eat and has not changed at all.
This puts them at ease.
But think about it, the two of them abandoned the dark side and surrendered to the bright side. Didn’t the second brother lead the Wanyan tribe and surrendered to the Chu State as well?
Since they are all turning from darkness to light, no one should look down on anyone else. They are all half-weighted.
In this way, the three of them belong to the same force, and there is indeed no need for the second brother to seek revenge against the two of them.
However, it does take a lot of courage to send congratulations to Chu State at this time.
So the third prince Wanyan Chong looked at Wanyan Lu and whispered: "Second brother, why are you here at this time?"
Wanyan Lu sighed and said, "I don't want to either. Agula insisted on asking me to send some congratulatory message. He kept running all the way from Wanyan Department here, but it exhausted me."
Wanyan smiled and said: "But anyway, my fourth brother and I finally met our second brother again. I thought we would never see each other again."
Wanyan Lu also smiled and said, "Yes, I also thought I would never see you two again. You two are going too far even if you abandon the dark and turn to the light without even calling me."
Wanyan rushed and said, "Next time if anything happens, I will tell my second brother."
Wanyan Lu sighed and said, "You two will enjoy a happy life in the Central Plains from now on. You will be accompanied by delicacies every day and entertained with good wine and meat. It will be different for me. After my father is gone, I will still have to take care of the whole world."
Yanbu, my father let me go as soon as he said so, leaving such a big mess to me, it really hurts me, it hurts me."
Wanyan smiled and said, "Second brother, why are you doing this? Now that you and I are both from the Chu State, can't we see each other whenever we want?"
Wanyan Lu waved his hand and said, "I can't leave. I am in charge of a large tribe with tens of thousands of people. This is the only time I can make an exception and come to the capital. I will have to go back in a few days. You two will be fine.
Remember to hide back to see me when the time comes, and bring some delicious food with you. When you want to come back, remember to come back in winter, because things will be broken in summer."
The fourth prince, Wanyan Cong, said, "Second brother, you don't have to worry so much about the Central Plains. I think the grasslands are better."
Wanyan Lu said with interest, "Oh? Grassland? Where is the best place?"
The fourth prince said: "There is endless beef and mutton to eat, and endless mare's kumiss to drink. But my second brother doesn't know how stingy Chu is. The cattle in Chu are more valuable than people. Ever since I came to this place, I have not been allowed to eat beef."
My third brother and I have been holding it back for a long time. I can't get used to their strong wine. What the hell, it's strong. But this thing is so strong that it doesn't have the mellow and mellow flavor of wine at all. It's not like us.
The koumiss on the grassland is far behind."
Wanyan Lu smiled and said, "Then you go back and eat. From now on, your second brother is in charge of the Wanyan department. How can you lose the beef and mutton? Even if you soak in the koumiss vat every day, your second brother doesn't care."
Starting from."
When Wan Yan Cong heard Wan Yan Lu's words, he couldn't help but pull Wan Yan Chong's sleeve: "Third brother, how about we go back? Don't you also help us with the roasted whole lamb on the grassland? It just happens to be our luggage and belongings.
I didn’t have time to bring anything else out, so it’s just the right time to bring it over when I go back, right?”
When Wanyan Chong heard what his fourth brother said, he immediately felt it made sense and nodded: "Then go back and let's have a good meal."
After the three brothers finished muttering in low voices, the Emperor of Chu talked a lot about merit and rewards, and it was the turn of the third and fourth princes.
The third prince and the fourth prince have contributed a lot to this, but it is probably a bit inappropriate for these two people to serve as officials. No matter how they abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, they are still traitors. Can a traitor be a good official?
It must not be done well!
And they are still prairie people. Let the prairie people take care of the people in the Central Plains?
Emperor Chu's mind has not yet gone wrong, so it is naturally impossible for him to do such a thing.
But if the meritorious service is not awarded, who will dare to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side when the Chu Kingdom goes to war in the future?
Therefore, this reward must be given.
Since they can't be officials, they can only be knighted, and their move can be regarded as a military exploit, so the Emperor of Chu graciously granted them the title of baron, and by the way, granted them a township.
manor.
The fiefdom of a township is not small, and the tax revenue is also large, which is enough for them to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
However, this title only applies to their generation, because the titles of Chu State are reduced with each generation.
Since my father is the Duke of the country, the next generation will only get a marquis, and the next generation will get an earl.
If future generations fail to live up to their expectations and only know how to sit back and live in vain, then if this title is passed down to four generations, in the end they will be common people or common people.
Therefore, the title of Emperor Chu was conferred without any psychological burden.
Xu Qingduo's military exploits were not awarded by the Emperor of Chu, waiting to see when his own merits and demerits would be equal to each other.
It can be said that without Xu Qing's clever plan of mobilizing grassland herdsmen extensively, it would have been impossible for the Chu State to conquer the huge grassland because there were not enough cavalry.
Although it seems that Xiao Ye is the main force, Xu Qing's sealing the wolf to Xu is just like Xiao Ye's incidentally, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chu State is able to seal the wolf and Xu Qing because Xu Qing provides them with the ability to fight with them.
The cavalry force that Wanyan's tribe was fighting against, otherwise, Lang's idea of staying in Xushan would probably be a bit difficult to defeat, and it would be even less likely that Wanyan's tribe would surrender now.
With such a huge amount of military exploits, it is more than enough to make him a Duke, but to give the title of Duke to Xu Qing, who is only in his weak years, is really a fantasy.
Therefore, no matter how great his contribution is, he can only be suppressed. At worst, he will be pampered in the capital from now on.
The Emperor of Chu decided to let Xu Qing completely settle down in the capital this time, and never go out to perform any military exploits for him again.
But fortunately, this is quite easy, because every time Xu Qing goes out, he is forced to go out. As long as he and the emperor brother no longer use this big Buddha in the future, he will be too lazy to move. This is why he and the emperor brother like it so much.
The reason for using Xu Qing.
They don't form factions or seek selfish interests, they don't even bother to do anything, and their key points are still easy to use.
After all, his current outstanding military exploits were all forced by him and his imperial brother, and they were not rewarded after the work was done.
Why is this a bit like a black-hearted landlord who only forces long-term workers to work but doesn't want to pay them?
