Chapter 789 Yang Feng's bearing
Compared to Sun Chengzong who entered the cabinet, Yang Feng's rewards looked extremely shabby. Zhu Youxiao only gave him some silk and satin and appointed him as the crown prince's tutor, and there was no other reward.
As soon as this reward was released, many officials in the hall showed surprise and confusion on their faces. Aren’t Zhu Youxiao and Yang Feng so good that they almost wore pants together? Why did they make such a great contribution this time but only reward such a little thing?
Just when many people were shocked, only Sun Chengzong, Gu Bingqian, Han Yu and other cabinet masters showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Just when everyone was surprised, with a sharp "retreat" sound, Zhu Youxiao stood up from the dragon throne and returned to the harem.
Just as Yang Feng was about to go to court, a eunuch walked quickly to him and said something. Yang Feng nodded and followed the eunuch towards the harem.
As the newly-entered cabinet master, Sun Chengzong was naturally sought after by everyone. Many officials came to him to congratulate him, and Sun Chengzong also smiled and greeted everyone.
"Mr. Kaiyang, congratulations!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Kaiyang for being promoted to the Grand Tutor, the lower lord congratulates you!"
Just as everyone surrounded him, a voice sounded beside him.
"Are you all idle? Or have the things in the yamen done? Do you want me to find something for you to do?"
Everyone looked back and saw Gu Bingqian, Han Du, Zhu Guozhen and other three cabinet masters standing aside, looking at them with a bad look. The person who spoke was Han Du, who had always been known for his sternness.
Seeing the three cabinet masters aside, the officials scattered birds and beasts, and soon only Sun Chengzong was left standing in the original place.
After everyone dispersed, Gu Bingqian stepped forward and bowed to Sun Chengzong, "Kaiyang Gong, I'm really embarrassed to make you laugh."
Sun Chengzong smiled: "Why did Duke Yi'an say this? All my colleagues have good intentions. How dare the subordinates take it?"
Gu Bingqian laughed: "Kid Kaiyang is worthy of being a soldier. His temperament is generous and generous. If you don't dislike it, please sit in Wenyuan Pavilion and let's talk about it?"
Sun Chengzong nodded slightly: "Mr. Yi'an said so, how dare you refuse to obey?"
"Haha...please!"
"please……"
Not to mention that Sun Chengzong and Gu Bingqian and other cabinet masters came to Wenyuan Pavilion to talk, Yang Feng came to the harem under the leadership of the little eunuch. But he couldn't help but feel confused all the way, and he quickly called the little eunuch who was leading the way.
"Wait... This is not the way to the Imperial Study Room. Where do you want to take Benhou?"
The little eunuch turned around and smiled apologized: "Mr. Marquis was clear. His Majesty did not return to the imperial study room, but went to Kunning Palace, saying that he wanted to hold a banquet to entertain the Marquis. I heard that the Empress had cooked a few side dishes in person."
"Kunning Palace entertains my husband and the queen cooks himself?"
Yang Feng was stunned at first, then couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Zhu Youxiao was treating him with family gifts.
In ancient times, there were rules to greet guests. In ancient times, people usually greeted guests in the lobby or the front hall. If the owner was entertaining guests in the backyard or inner courtyard, it meant that the other party was regarded as a close person.
If the family members were still allowed to accompany each other, they would treat each other as a family. If it weren't for the closest relatives, they wouldn't have done this. No wonder the little eunuch showed an unconcealed envy in his eyes.
When Yang Feng came to Kunning Palace with the little eunuch, he saw the queen Zhang Yan commanding several palace maids to arrange dishes, while Zhu Youxiaozheng sat on the stool and looked at him with a smile.
Yang Feng hurried forward and bowed, "I have met Your Majesty and Empress. I am so frightened that I am so frightened that the Empress can do it myself."
Zhang Yan looked back and smiled: "Jiangning Hou should not say that I am so delicate. Before entering the palace, I also sold things on the streets with my father. I often cooked food on weekdays, but after entering the palace, I only cooked less.
I happened to hear that Your Majesty said he would entertain Jiangning Hou in Kunning Palace. I volunteered to take this job, which was a sign of exercising my body. I just hope that Jiangning Hou would not dislike my craftsmanship."
Before Yang Feng could speak, Zhu Youxiao on the side laughed and said, "Why should Zi Tong be too humble? I remember when you first entered the palace, I almost swallowed my tongue into my stomach when I first tasted your skills."
"His Majesty……"
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes to Zhu Youxiao coquettishly, which made Zhu Youxiao laugh.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. Since all the dishes are served, then take your seat!"
"I obey the order!"
Yang Feng saluted Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan and sat down.
Seeing Yang Feng's unceremonious look, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan looked at each other and laughed.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but say, "Zi Tong, have you seen it? Only Yang Aiqing is so free and easy in the face of me and you in the court. If the others eat with me, no one will be trembling. But only Yang Aiqing does not treat himself as an outsider like this."
Zhang Yan smiled with a smile: "Isn't your Majesty the most admired by Jiang Ning Hou's freedom?"
"Hahaha... Zi Tong is right, this is what I admire most about Yang Aiqing."
While the three of them were talking, the palace maids on the side also filled the wine glass in front of Yang Feng.
Zhu Youxiao raised his glass of wine: "Yang Aiqing, I wish you this glass of wine. Thank you for removing the border troubles in Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty, and finally exterminated the Qing Tartars who suffered the disaster on the side of the country, and also avenged the Ming people who died tragically under the Tartars' sword."
"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. This is my duty. I dare not thank you for your kindness."
Yang Feng raised his glass and drank it all.
After two or three glasses of wine, Zhu Youxiao blushed a little.
He put down his glass and looked at Yang Feng and said, "Yang Aiqing, you have made such a great contribution, but today I have only granted you a crown prince and tutor. Do you think my reward is too thin?"
Yang Feng shrugged, "No, I was just a commoner when I first arrived in the Ming Dynasty four years ago. Now I am the governor of Jiangning of the Ming Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the South. I am already a great minister. If I am not satisfied, it would be too greedy. Besides, life is short, even if I am a king, so what? Who is not a pile of loess in a hundred years? Is it true that emperors and generals are like this? Even if I am the chief official?"
