Four hundred and sixtieth chapters mainly rely on talent
Knighted?
Li Shuzheng couldn't help but look at Liu Song, and the idea of conferring a title on the woman was really strange.
Liu Song ignored Li Shuzheng and continued to explain to the emperor: "Although there are not many female knights, it is not impossible. Historical records record that during the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu's sister was once granted the title of Marquis of Linguang."
As soon as Liu Song's words came out, they first lifted the spirits of all the officials. When it comes to awards, being awarded a title is obviously a better way to demonstrate one's merit than being awarded an official title.
So why are all the officials so uninterested in conferring titles? Because the "Da Ming Code" formulated by Lao Zhu clearly stipulates: "Civil officials are not allowed to be ennobled." Therefore, although the titles of the Ming Dynasty are very attractive, unless you have military merit
, otherwise civil servants will work hard all their lives and not get a title.
Naturally, hundreds of officials won't care about things that they can't get at all.
But some people cared about it. After hearing Liu Song's words, Li Wenzhong immediately refused.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of knighthood has been decided for a long time. Those who do not have military merit cannot be knighted. Although Han Jingyun has made great contributions, it is not military merit and cannot be knighted."
As the number one person in the military, Li Wenzhong naturally had to stand up and object at this time. There was no way, the title was really more wolf than meat, and countless people in the entire Ming army were watching closely. If a woman were to take away a title now
Not to mention the heartache, what's more important is that with a woman riding on his head, all the military generals will not be able to raise their heads in the future.
Now that the residual Yuan is still alive, it is the time when Lao Zhu has to rely heavily on the army, so naturally he will not embarrass the military generals at this time. Moreover, Li Wenzhong's reasons are sufficient, and no one can refute it.
The scene became deadlocked.
Li Shanchang suddenly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think the reward should be? Can you listen to Han Jingyun's opinion?"
The matter of awarding awards has always been condescending, from top to bottom, and the opinions of the parties involved have never been and will not be solicited. However, since everyone's opinions cannot be unified now, it doesn't hurt to listen to what Han Jingyun means.
So, Lao Zhu smiled and asked Han Jingyun: "What kind of reward do you want? If you tell me, I will accept it."
Han Jingyun was stunned when the emperor asked her. She had never thought about what she needed. When asked, she naturally didn't know how to answer.
Han Du smiled quickly and replied for Han Jingyun: "It is an honor for my sister-in-law to be able to serve the emperor and contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. How dare I ask for any reward."
Although Han Du's words were beautiful, Lao Zhu had heard so many beautiful words that he naturally lacked interest in them. He glanced at Han Du calmly and said, "Have I asked you what you think?"
After saying that, he looked at Han Jingyun and said kindly: "Don't worry and say what you want."
After being scolded by Lao Zhu, Han Du smiled and touched his nose, not daring to say anything more. However, he kept winking at the girl, indicating that she didn't want anything. At this time, no matter what he said he wanted, it would lead to unexpected results.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to say nothing.
Han Jingyun saw the eldest brother's gesture, looked at the emperor again, suddenly smiled, and said: "If the emperor must reward the people's daughters, then the people's daughters would like to ask, can they be redeemed in cash?"
Discount?
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment and did not react.
Han Jingyun quickly explained: "That is, can you give some money to the women of the country?"
Just money?
This requirement is really low, it can be said to be the lowest among all rewards.
The Ming Dynasty almost never directly rewarded people with money, and money was usually used as a vassal of rewards.
It was the first time that Han Jingyun asked for money directly. However, as soon as Han Jingyun asked for money, both Baiguan and Han Du breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
The only one who was not very happy was Lao Zhu.
"Are you so short of money?" Lao Zhu looked a little unhappy. Faced with Han Jingyun's request, he really didn't know what to ask.
"Yeah...of course." Han Jingyun didn't care and expressed his thoughts directly.
"You are not old, what do you need money for?" Lao Zhu was still puzzled.
Han Jingyun blushed, glanced at Zhu Biao quickly, and deliberately pretended to be nonchalant.
But she didn't think about it. Except for Baiguan and Han Du who didn't notice her little movements because of the angle, the emperor was sitting right in front of her. How could her little movements escape Lao Zhu's eyes?
When Lao Zhu saw Han Jingyun's movements, he was stunned for a moment. Then he turned to look at Zhu Biao, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
What else don’t you understand?
He couldn't help but burst out laughing and said: "Reward ten thousand gold, withdraw from the court!!!"
Before the old eunuch finished singing, Lao Zhu left first.
Han Du and Han Jingyun did not follow Bai Guan away. They stood there with big eyes and small eyes, looking at the gold in front of them and looking at each other.
To be honest, although Lao Zhu's reward of ten thousand gold sounds nice, in terms of value, it is really not as good as this pile of gold. From this point of view, Lao Zhu is really poor. Look at how Timur gave this to him casually.
The treasure was lost, what about Lao Zhu? Han Jingyun helped him a lot, but in the end the reward was not as good as the one Timur threw out casually.
Han Du tried to lift a handful, but the gold didn't move at all. Obviously, the brother and sister couldn't move this pile of gold back, so just when Han Du wanted to ask Lao Zhu to send someone for help.
The old eunuch came to the two of them and said with a smile: "You two, the emperor has summoned you."
When Han Du heard that Lao Zhu was summoning him, he happened to want to ask Lao Zhu for help, so he naturally went to see Lao Zhu without hesitation. Although Han Jingyun didn't know why the emperor wanted to summon her together, he just happened to be with his eldest brother, so he had no objection.
"Chen Han Du..."
"Folk girl Han Jingyun..."
"Meet the Emperor!!"
After hearing Lao Zhu's words to get married without any ceremony, Han Du and the others stood up.
Lao Zhu, Queen Ma were all there, and Zhu Biao ran over licking his face for some reason and stood next to Queen Ma, pretending to be there.
Since the three of them were all acquainted with Han Du, they didn't feel anything was wrong. They were even less aware of Lao Zhu's summons, because the possibility of it being a business matter was very low, but it was more likely to be a private matter.
Empress Ma took a careful look at Han Jingyun, with a satisfied look on her face. She waved her hand and said, "You were the one who solved the problem? Come, come to me, let me take a good look at our talented woman of the Ming Dynasty.
.”
Han Jingyun blushed when Queen Ma said that, but he still lowered his head and agreed softly, and walked up to Queen Ma obediently.
