"Come here if you have the foundation, but retreat without the foundation."
The little eunuch's voice was transmitted from the Jinluan Palace. Hundreds of ministers were standing there, but most of them didn't have any memorials today. They all wanted to see how the emperor and Gao Shaoyi had questions and answers. This is today. The highlight.
"Where is the Governor of Zhili?"
The emperor is also in high spirits today. After all, Princess Wen Ning's matter has been resolved, and he does not need to be scolded in the history books. This is also Gao Shaoyi's greatest contribution. If he had married the princess to Dong during his reign as emperor, Di Guo, that is something that will never be washed away in a lifetime.
"Wei minister Gao Shaoyi, the governor of Zhili, came to see my emperor. Long live my emperor, long live him."
Gao Shaoyi walked out of the second row honestly. The first row was basically filled with princes and princes.
It can be said that Gao Shaoyi is now regarded as the number one person in the Daqian Dynasty in terms of title and official position. Coupled with the actual army under his control, he may have the strength to stand in the front row.
"In this war in Dongdi Kingdom, you have commanded meritoriously. The suppressing army fought bravely against the enemy. I will reward you..."
Following the words of the current emperor, the officials from the Ministry of Rites next to him had already asked for the imperial edict. Gao Shaoyi pricked up his ears and listened. Basically, they were some gold and silver treasures. He was young, whether it was an official position or a title, I am afraid that At this time, there was no way to get promoted, but some of his subordinates had obtained titles. Of course, most of them were lifelong titles and could not be inherited by future generations.
When the officials of the Ministry of Rites read out the rewards, some ministers in the court also began to think. Except for the eldest son, the other sons in the family have not yet been found. If they can be forced into the army to suppress the captives, they can fight in two battles. There is no danger. Wouldn't there be a way to survive after returning?
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. I have captured Dongdi's weapons this time..."
Gao Shaoyi also presented a memorial. This was basically the previous practice. The emperor would naturally reward gold and silver treasures, but the generals who fought abroad also had to send some spoils to the court.
You must know that the gadgets captured by Gao Shaoyi are very advanced and valuable in the eyes of others, but in Gao Shaoyi's eyes, these things are not much better than fire sticks. If the court wants them, they can just take them away. .
Seventy thousand muskets...
More than 900,000 bullets...
Fifteen artillery pieces of various types...
Everything was presented to the imperial court.
Everyone knew that Gao Shaoyi was relatively generous with his actions, but they never expected him to be so generous. The ministers in the imperial court were whispering to each other. No wonder he was ranked as a first-class marquis at such a young age, which was unique among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Accurate performance."
The emperor nodded happily. These weapons alone can save the court a lot of money. Although they are second-hand weapons transported from the battlefield, if you buy them with your own money, it will cost at least eight to nine million silver coins. This is not a small sum of money for the imperial court.
Next came some matters about the wedding. The emperor only asked a few symbolic questions about these matters. After all, he was considered Gao Shaoyi's biological uncle, so it was not an exaggeration to say these things.
It's just that the emperor has too many nephews in the capital, and he doesn't see anyone else taking care of him. Gao Shaoyi has become a thorn in the side of many people at this time. It turns out that everyone is incompetent and living in the capital together, living the life of a playboy. You Suddenly it floated out from among everyone. Doesn’t this make us look like waste?
"Retreat from the court."
After rambling for a while, the court meeting was finally over.
However, Gao Shaoyi knew that others might be able to go home, but his highlight hadn't come yet. As expected, Gao Shaoyi was about to walk out when Eunuch Su followed him from behind.
"Master Marquis, please stay. The Emperor has decreed that you and Prince Kang should go to the South Study Room to discuss matters."
Eunuch Su's voice was not very loud, but it was heard by all the civil and military people in the court. Everyone looked at Gao Shaoyi with envy. This boy was in his twenties, and he seemed to have become the same character as the betrothed Prince Kang.
Well, the South Study Room is not accessible to ordinary people. Except for the six ministers and bachelors, few others can enter.
In the past, Gao Shaoyi was the emperor's nephew, and he often came to the palace to pay his respects, but it was always in places like the Yangxin Hall, which was not very formal. The South Study Room was different, as many imperial edicts came from there.
The one that issued it can also be said to be the superior government office of the Military Aircraft Department.
"Master Marquis, I have to say a lot. The men in the capital are not easy to get along with. Just now, Master Marquis made a great show in the court. The way these people look at you is not right. Be careful of them stumbling upon you.
"
Eunuch Su was standing next to the emperor just now, so he could naturally see some of the looks from the officials below. Gao Shaoyi would always pay filial piety to Eunuch Su and reciprocate his kindness. Eunuch Su also had to make Gao Shaoyi feel useful, so that in the future I
Only then can we receive more filial piety.
"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for reminding me. These guys don't want to work every day. They are just looking for trouble everywhere. I heard that Eunuch Su recently adopted an adopted son. I was not in the capital at that time, so I need to make up for this gift."
As Gao Shaoyi spoke, he took out a luminous pearl from his sleeve. This thing was worth thousands of silver coins.
"Hey, what did you say? I really want to thank the Marquis for Quanzi."
Eunuch Su smiled and put it in his pocket. This thing is something that is rare to find. You can't buy it in the market with money. Gao Shaoyi naturally found out about it from foreigners.
South study room.
The center of power of the Daqian Dynasty.
Prince Ding and Prince Kang have already entered. Eunuch Liang, the eunuch in charge of the South Study, is waiting for Gao Shaoyi at the door.
"Greetings to the Marquis."
Eunuch Liang hurriedly came up to say hello. This boy was just under twenty years old, and he was the youngest among the eunuchs in charge of the palace.
"Eunuch Liang has made great progress! Now he is the eunuch in charge of the south study room, and he will soon be the eunuch in charge of the palace. A small courtesy is not disrespectful."
Gao Shaoyi valued this person very much, so he immediately gave him a check of five thousand silver coins. Firstly, it was because this guy was very young and had a bright future. The other was that he was in charge of the South Study Room and received a lot of money.
The news is more important than other public information.
"I thanked the Marquis for the reward. When I was a young eunuch, none of these men took me seriously. I dare not forget the care that the Marquis gave me at that time."
This is also true. The two were indeed frequent visitors to the casino back then, and they could be considered to have a certain revolutionary friendship...
